It was organized entirely with trainees and recruits from Panay Island.

Elliott Gunton

Elliott Gunton (born 1999), also known by his online pseudonyms Glubz and planet, is a convicted British cybercriminal from Norfolk. TalkTalk security breach On 21 October 2015, Gunton engaged in a "sustained cyberattack" against British telecom company TalkTalk, stealing the names, addresses, e-mails, and bank details of its users. During a search of his home, law enforcement found indecent images of children on Gunton's devices. He had also confessed to targeting the websites of Manchester University and Cambridge University. In November 2016, Gunton pleaded guilty, telling the youth court that he was "just showing off to [his] mates." He received a 12-month youth rehabilitation order. August 2019 conviction Gunton was again investigated in April 2019, after CCleaner was found on his computer, which was in violation of his Sexual Harm Prevention Order. In August 2019, he pleaded guilty to, in 2017 and 2018, laundering money, committing Computer Misuse Act crimes, and breaching a Sexual Harm Prevention Order. He had probed the websites of local high schools for vulnerabilities and illegally accessed Australian telecom company Telstra's systems, which he then used to gain access to the Instagram account @adesignersmind to send "grotesquely offensive" messages to the owner's customers. During a search of Gunton's home, police discovered £407,359.35 in cryptocurrency, which he had allegedly acquired from selling the account details of Instagram users on cybercrime forums. He was sentenced to 20 months of imprisonment but was immediately released due to time served.

The two were accused of simjacking the CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange EtherDelta and using his access to redirect its users to a clone of EtherDelta, which would give Gunton and Nashatka details of cryptocurrency wallets that users had entered. In July 2024, Gunton was sentenced to 3½ years of imprisonment.

Bố Trì Trì

Bố Trì Trì (fl. 1471) was a King of Panduranga in Champa who briefly set himself up as king after the fall of the Cham capital Vijaya to the Vietnamese in 1471. His name is only known in Vietnamese transcription (in Chinese, Pu Chi Chi). The troops of Emperor Lê Thánh Tông captured Vijaya on 22 March 1471, bringing about the destruction of the Cham kingdom based in Bình Định.Georges Maspero (2002) The Champa Kingdom: The History of an Extinct Vietnamese Culture. Bangkok: White Lotus, p. 117-8. The chronicle Đại Việt sử ký toàn thư explains how the Vietnamese applied a divide-and-rule policy to control the territory of Champa. As it says, Bố Trì Trì was a general of the captured Cham king Maha Sajan. When the king had been taken, the general fled to Panduranga in the far south, occupied that land, and proclaimed himself the ruler of Champa. Panduranga was one of the traditional five lands of Champa (together with Kauthara, Vijaya, Amaravati, and Indrapura). Having established his power in the south, Bố Trì Trì sent envoys to Lê Thánh Tông, declaring himself a vassal and offering tribute. This was accepted by the Vietnamese ruler, who also proclaimed separate vassal kings in Hoa Anh and Nam Bàn, making three Cham polities "in order to bind them".Andrew Hardy (2019) "Champa, Integrating Kingdom: Mechanisms of Political Integration in a Southeast Asian Segmentary State (15th Century", in Arlo Griffiths et al. (eds) Champa: Territories and Networks of a Southeast Asian Kingdom. Paris: EFEO, p. 244-5. It is not known for how long Bố Trì Trì regned in Panduranga. Later in the 1470s, a grandson or nephew of the old king appeared, in Chinese transcription called Zhai Ya Ma Fu An (probably Jayavarman).Geoff Wade (2019) "Campa in the Ming Reign Annals (Ming shi-lu) 14th-17th Centuries", in Arlo Griffiths et al. (eds) Champa: Territories and Networks of a Southeast Asian Kingdom. Paris: EFEO, p. 270. Whether he is the same person as Bố Trì Trì is unknown but doubtful.

Iñaki Hurtado

José Ignacio Hurtado Capilla is a Spanish former footballer who played as a midfielder. He totalled 155 La Liga games and 2 goals for Logroñés, Valladolid, Valencia, Numancia and Zaragoza, winning the Copa del Rey in 2004 with the last club. In the Segunda División, he added 127 games and 7 goals for Villarreal, Numancia, Zaragoza and Valladolid. Career Born in Logroño in La Rioja, Hurtado began his career at hometown club Logroñés. He made his debut in La Liga on 18 June 1989 in the penultimate game of the season, as a 64th-minute substitute for Adolfo Muñoz. In 1991, Hurtado transferred to Real Valladolid in the same league. He scored his first top-flight goal on 16 January 1994, coming off the bench to win the game 2–1 at Celta Vigo. Hurtado transferred to Valencia in July 1995, while manager Luis Aragonés arrived at the club. His opportunities were limited at the Mestalla Stadium and he scored once as a late substitute in a 2–0 home win over Celta on 30 November 1996, Jorge Valdano's first game as manager. For the 1997–98 season, Hurtado was loaned to Villarreal in the Segunda División. He was part of the "Yellow Submarine" side that won promotion to La Liga for the first time; his only goal in a 2–0 win away to Leganés on 3 May secured a play-off place. In 1998, Hurtado moved to Numancia, where he had previously played in the Segunda División B eight years earlier. The team from Soria won promotion in his first season and played two top-flight campaigns; his winning goal away to Leganés on 19 May 2002 saved them from a second consecutive relegation. Hurtado transferred to Real Zaragoza for free in 2002, with his debut being delayed by adductor muscle injury. In November 2003, after the club's promotion, he told El Periódico de Aragón that he was hurt by booing from the crowd.

Castle Frankenburg

Castle Frankenburg, formerly known as Feste Frankenburg, in German, or Francoburgum Castrum, in Latin, is an abandoned hilltop castle in the municipality of Frankenburg am Hausruck in Upper Austria on the Hofberg hilltop, formerly Am Vogl. It was first mentioned in a document in 1160 and abandoned as an administrative centre in 1511. The area is used for hiking, with the 'Hofberghütte' on the site of the former castle serving as a vantage point. Location Frankenburg was located on the Upper Austrian side of the old Bavarian border. As the division of territory was not yet secure at the time, it is often counted as part of the Bavarian territory in historical accounts. In addition to protecting the citizens, the aim was also to secure the border to the north. The castle was built on a plateau at an altitude of around 723 metres. The former cemetery is also located on the Hofberg. Over the course of time, human remains were found in various places during excavations. No ruins are recognisable on the surface today. After it was abandoned, it served as a source of stone for the local population. In the 16th century, fires were even lit to make it easier to obtain building materials. The high proportion of wood was also partly responsible for the severe decay. History The first medieval estate was built in the area of the village church, but no traces of it can be found today. The subsequent building was erected on the Hofberg, where archaeological excavations (2003 and 2005) brought fragments of the wall to light. Today's market town of Frankenburg was still known as Zwispallen at the time. There is also evidence of Celtic graves in the vicinity of the castle. These suggest the existence of a previous, even older castle complex. In the course of the settlement of the area around Zwispallen, the need for defences arose. The first Frankish immigrants cleared the wooded Hofberg. The surrounding settlements had various functions, which can also be seen in their names, e.g. Pehigen (formerly also Bechigen, from Pechsieder) or Badstuben. The local settlers built the defences themselves. In the second half of the 11th century, Rappoto von Julbach was commissioned by the nobility to complete the Frankenburg fortress. This is why Frankenburg Castle was very similar to the castle in Julbach. The builders continued the work of the settlers with stone. The Frankenburg was largely made of wood, but finds show that it was not completely wooden. During the first expansion phase, the people of Julbach forced the unfree peasants around the Frankenburg castle to perform bonded labour. The region belonged to the bishopric of Bamberg (Bavaria), which disapproved of the exploitation of the settlers' property. Their aim was to run the forestry in Frankenburg. Frankenburg Castle was later extended from a purely defensive castle to an administrative castle (Vogteiburg). Some of the additional buildings were also constructed with bricks. The building was completed under Otto I in the 12th century. In a letters patent, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa officially confirmed the 'fortress' of Frankenburg and its goods to his successor. With this confirmation, the castle could also be lent, pledged or given away. The emperor's demand in the same document that he be given a say in the allocation of bailiwicks also increased the political significance of the castle. On 15 February 1160, the fortress is also referred to as Francoburgum castrum for the first time. A decade later (1170), Engelschalk von Reit handed over Zwispallen and with it the castle to Asbach Abbey. Until 1438, Frankenburg was nevertheless subject to the supreme authority of the Bamberg diocese. The monastery was also the owner of various estates, which had to pay taxes. Such donations were intended to pave the way for the founders into the afterlife. In 1581, Emperor Rudolf II granted his envoy in Madrid, Hans Khevenhüller, the dominions of Frankenburg (with the then still intact seat of Frankenburg Castle) and Frein Castle, as well as the dominions of Kogl Castle (where the Khevenhüllers built Kogl Castle in 1750) and Kammer Castle, which were united to form the 'County of Frankenburg' in 1593. Ruins Remains of the wall were found at the front, but they are too thin to have been part of the tower. During the excavation at the beginning of the 21st century, many everyday objects were found. These included piles of medieval nails, which indicate the presence of wooden structures at this location. During excavations in 2007, a brick with the fingerprints of a labourer was also found. Investigations show that the man, who was about 156 cm tall, was right-handed. The searchers also unearthed fragments of pottery, almost half of which were made of light-coloured pottery known as 'Hausruck pottery'. Some of the ceramics are stamped or have border motifs, and some bear wheel crosses, an early form of marking ceramic ware. This light-coloured pottery is rather rare in contrast to the dark-coloured pottery. One special find was a ceramic mouthpiece made of light-coloured clay. Instruments of this type are not usually preserved, but this broken piece can still be used to elicit sounds today. Collections of old oven tiles were found in two different places, including one decorated with a winged griffin from the 15th century, together with charred animal bones. These ovens were either used as a cooking area or the castle inhabitants threw rubbish into the fire. However, the tiles were not made to a high standard, they are very coarse-grained. Furthermore, part of a brick floor was found above a thick layer of fire debris. The traces of fire are evidence of various fires in the castle, which affected all parts. Reconstruction of the plant thumb|Castle's stable ruins on the Hofberg hilltop. The castle measured 302 metres from north to south, of which the castle plateau and outer bailey accounted for around 150 metres. The main castle was 74 metres long and a maximum of 32 metres wide. The path up the Hofberg, which is still used today (for agricultural purposes), leads to the historic entrance. This was followed by two ramparts that could be passed through gates. The ramparts were a maximum of six metres high. A small square was then reached, from which the first moat could be crossed via a bridge. Those seeking entry then reached the outer bailey. The main bridge led over the main moat to the main castle. Today's ground structure still clearly shows the plateaus and moats. The remains of the outer wall have been preserved; it was around 120 cm thick. The inner walls, on the other hand, were only around 37 cm thick. Remains of a defence wall are also still present. The keep was completely demolished towards the end of the Middle Ages. However, a surface measurement revealed an original size of around 9 × 9 metres. A painting in Hochosterwitz Castle clearly shows the old tower. It can be seen that it consisted of at least two upper storeys, which corresponds to a height of 25 to 30 metres. The reconstruction was based on old paintings, ground measurements and excavations. An extensive archaeological excavation would probably provide more precise information, but is currently (2010) not feasible. References Category:Upper Austria Category:Castles in Austria

Ruby Board

Ruby Willmet Board CMG (15 October 1880 – 25 December 1963) was an Australian community worker. She was known for her long association with the National Council of Women of Australia and with diabetes organisations. Early life Board was born on 15 October 1880 in Gunning, New South Wales. She was the only child of Jessie Allen (née Bowes) and Peter Board; her father was a schoolteacher by profession who eventually became the director of the New South Wales Department of Public Instruction. As a child, Board lived for periods at various locations around New South Wales as her father moved for his career. She was educated in Sydney, Berlin and Paris, before returning to Australia where she lived with her parents. She was supported by her father and had no need for paid employment. Her interest in public service was influenced by her maternal grandmother Euphemia Bridges Bowes, a suffragette and temperance activist. Public work Women's issues Board became involved with the National Council of Women of New South Wales in its early years and was a member for over 50 years. She served as honorary secretary from 1914 to 1918 and president from 1938 to 1948, also leading the Australian delegation to the International Council of Women in Washington, D.C., in 1925. Board was involved in the creation of the National Council of Women of Australia in 1931, becoming its inaugural treasurer. She later served as national president from 1942 to 1944, where she "focused on war work but with an emphasis on the issues of importance to women-treatment and pay of women in the services, postwar reconstruction (especially housing), and uniform marriage and divorce laws". In 1943 she presided over the women's reception for Eleanor Roosevelt at Sydney Town Hall. As a senior figure within the more conservative NCW, Board came into conflict with Jessie Street and her left-wing Australian Women's Charter movement. She lobbied the federal government to disregard Street's activities and accept the NCW as the representative of the majority of Australian women's organisations. In 1948 she publicly criticised the appointment of Street as a member of the Australian delegation to the United Nations, stating that "most of the women of Australia do not feel that Mrs. Jessie Street represents their opinions". Outside of the NCW, Board was active in the Country Women's Association and served as president of its Blue Mountains branch from 1930 to 1938. She was also a vice-president of the Rachel Forster Hospital from 1939 to 1958. During World War II, Board was the founding president of the Women's Voluntary National Register, which maintained a register of women willing to perform volunteer work during the war. She was also the defence director of the Women's Auxiliary National Service (WANS), which aimed to coordinate women's organisations, and served on the executive of the Australian Comforts Fund. In 1943 she was the founding chair of the Housekeepers' Emergency Service, established by the WANS to provide home care to women suffering health or other emergencies. Health advocacy Board was diagnosed with diabetes in the 1930s. She served as president of the Diabetic Asssociation of New South Wales from 1951 to 1960. She organised lecture tours from international diabetes experts, including a visit from insulin co-discoverer Charles Best in 1952. In 1954, Board instituted a system of free identification cards for people with diabetes, following an incident in which a man in a diabetic coma was wrongly arrested for public drunkenness and died in police custody. She attended congresses of the International Diabetes Federation in 1955 to 1958 and was elected as inaugural president of the Diabetes Federation of Australia in 1957. Personal life Board moved to Leura, New South Wales, with her parents in the early 1920s. She retired to Castle Hill in 1960. She died as the result of a fall on 25 December 1963 at the Rachel Forster Hospital in Redfern. The hospital's diabetic wing was named in her honour in 1966.

Carrom in India

thumb|right|A 'scissors grip' carrom shot Carrom is a popular tabletop game in India, enjoyed by people of all ages. Its roots can be traced back to the Indian subcontinent, where it has evolved into a major competitive sport with organized tournaments and federations. Played across households, clubs, and competitions, carrom has grown from being a casual family game to a recognized sport in India and around the world. thumb|right|Indian schoolboys playing carrom indoors History The origins of carrom in India are not precisely documented, but it is believed to have been developed in the Indian subcontinent in the late 19th century.History of Physical Education, p.209, SR Tiwari, APH Publishing One of the earliest references to carrom in India is a glass carrom board found in a palace in Patiala, Punjab. It gained widespread popularity among the middle class during the 20th century. Early evidence suggests that it was inspired by billiards or pool, albeit adapted to Indian cultural contexts, using a flat board instead of pockets. Carrom became more formalized in the 20th century, and several carrom clubs and organizations were established. The game has spread not only across India but to several parts of South Asia, Southeast Asia, and even the Middle East, largely due to Indian diaspora communities. Governing body Carrom in India is administered by the All-India Carrom Federation, which was established in 1956. The AICF is affiliated with the International Carrom Federation, which oversees the global development of the sport. Tournaments and competitions Carrom is widely played both casually and professionally in India. The National Carrom Championship is the most prestigious competition organized by the AICF, where top players from across the country compete. In addition, regional tournaments take place at the state level, organized by state carrom associations. India has hosted two World Carrom Championships, in 1991 and 2000, both held in New Delhi. India has also produced several world champions in carrom, with notable players such as A. Maria Irudayam, K. Srinivas, R. M. Shankra, Ravinder Goud and S. Sudhakar winning international titles. Irudayam, a two-time world champion, is often regarded as one of the best carrom players of all time. The Indian teams won both the men's and women's teams championships at the sixth Asian carrom champions in the Maldives in April 2023. Cultural significance thumb|right|A group of boys playing carrom outdoors in West Bengal Carrom is deeply ingrained in Indian culture and is a common pastime in many households. The game is played in both rural and urban settings, often as a recreational activity during family gatherings and festivals. Carrom boards are found in public places such as cafes, schools, and clubs, where people gather to play the game casually. In some regions of India, carrom tournaments are also organized as part of local festivals, making it an important element of community entertainment. In popular culture Films depicting Carrom include the 2003 Hindi film Munna Bhai M.B.B.S, the 2010 Hindi film Striker and the 2018 Tamil film Vada Chennai.

Praelatenberg

The Alsace Grand Cru vignoble Praelatenberg is a white winearea in the lieu-dit of Praelatenberg, situated in the commune of Kintzheim, in the département of Bas-Rhin, in Alsace. It is one of the fifty-one grands crus of the Alsace wine region, benefiting from the designation and subject to the restrictions of its status. History In the ninth century, the Benedictine abbey, Ebersmunster Abbey owned the vines of Praelatenberg (Mont des Prélats). The lieu-dit has been attested as early as 823. The Alsace Grand Cru appellation was first recognised in the decree of 23 November 1983, but the Praelatenberg cru was not amongst the first twenty-five wines selected. Its winegrowers had to wait until the decree of 17 December 1992 to be added. Since then there have been several modifications. The decree of 1 March 1984 regulated the use of the terms vendanges tardives and sélection de grains nobles. The decree of 24 January 2001 reduced allowed yields and added the possibility of modifying each cru's specifications on the advice of the local wine producers. In October 2011, all the grands crus of Alsace moved from being separate areas within one Grand Cru to each representing a separate Grand Cru. Etymology Praelatenberg means "hill of the prelates" in German, referring as mentioned above to the Ebersmunster Abbey which farmed the area from the ninth century. Location The location is within the département of Bas-Rhin, in the commune of Kintzheim 6 kilometres west of Sélestat, near the Château du Haut-Koenigsbourg. Climate The appellation shares features with Alsace in general, namely the protection from wind and rain provided by the Vosges mountains. The winds lose their humidity as they pass eastward over the hills, with dry and warm Foehn wind passing over the vignoble, leading to very low rainfall. The nearest meteorological station to Kintzheim is the Strasbourg Entzheim station. Values between 1961 and 1990 are as follows: Vineyards The vineyards are on the flanks of two hills separated by a stream, between 250 and 350 meters above sea level. on steep slopes exposed to the southeast, between Kintzheim and Orschwiller. The planted area is 18.7 hectares in size. Grapes Wines from the Praelatenberg Grand Cru must be made from the following grapes: Riesling, [[Pinot Gris]], Gewürztraminer or one of the Muscats: Muscat Ottonel, Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, or Muscat Rose à Petits Grains. Character The gneiss soil is thought to provide the wines with a strong minerality, and the microclimate with its east-south-east orientation seems relatively insensitive to the vagaries of vintage changes. Labelling A wide range of descriptors may be used on labels corresponding to the several varieties of grape and the potential for late harvesting: alsace grand cru Praelatenberg ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg riesling ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg Gewürztraminer ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg pinot gris ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg muscat ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg vendanges tardives riesling ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg vendanges tardives Gewürztraminer ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg vendanges tardives pinot gris ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg vendanges tardives muscat ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg sélection de grains nobles riesling ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg sélection de grains nobles Gewürztraminer ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg sélection de grains nobles pinot gris ; alsace grand cru Praelatenberg sélection de grains nobles muscat.

Bank of Montenegro

thumb|Former headquarters of the Bank of Montenegro in Cetinje, converted into the Montenegro Money Museum The Bank of Montenegro or Montenegrin Bank () was a bank in Cetinje, the capital of the Principality then Kingdom of Montenegro. In existence from 1906 to 1918, it was intended as a bank of issue, but that ambition was never put in practice as the Montenegrin government remained directly in charge of the country's fledgling monetary policy. Overview The Bank of Montenegro was established by princely decree of Nikola Petrović-Njegoš on , at a time when the main currency in circulation in Montenegro was the Austrian krone, complemented by other European currencies. The bank was not an independent central bank with authority over monetary policy, however, and the government retained the capacity to mint coins, which it contracted out to the Austro-Hungarian Mint in Vienna. In 1909, the country's money was officially named the Montenegrin perper. By then, as the relations between Montenegro and Austria-Hungary had deteriorated, the minting of new coins was entrusted to the Privileged National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbia, which in turn contracted it out to a bank in Paris. Due to poor quality, however, the Montenegrin government reverted to minting in Vienna for its next issuance in 1910. The government also directly issued paper money during the Balkan Wars and World War I, between 1912 and 1916 when Montenegro was occupied by Austria-Hungary. In 1918, the National Bank of Serbia took over monetary policy for the newly established Yugoslavia, which absorbed Montenegro, and was soon renamed the National Bank of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The Bank of Montenegro ceased its activity at that time. The Bank of Montenegro operated from a house erected by architect Miloš Lepetić in the late 19th century, in a leafy area of Cetinje. The building was expanded and made more representative of the bank's prominence in 1910, the same year as the establishment of the monarchy. The building was repurposed in 2012 as the Money Museum of the Central Bank of Montenegro. See also Prva banka Crne Gore Podgorička banka Bank of Albania List of central banks References Montenegro

Public Opinion Programme of the University of Hong Kong

The Public Opinion Programme of the University of Hong Kong (, abbrev. HKUPOP) was a self-funding programme existed under the Faculty of Social Sciences in the University of Hong Kong. It was set up in June 1991 by Dr Robert Chung. Its purpose was to "collect and study public opinion on topics which could be of interest to academics, journalists, policy-makers, and the general public". It ceased existing as a programme in the University and was succeeded by the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute in July 2019. History It was established in June 1991 by Dr Robert Chung and operated as a self-funding unit, with fundings from outside sources. The programme was later briefly transferred to the Journalism and Media Studies Centre in the university in May 2000 and transferred back to the Faculty of Social Sciences in January 2002. The programme published over 60 polls per year and charted the popularity of the government, chief executive and senior government officials. Over 1,500 independent surveys and other kinds of research were conducted during its existence. On 23 April 2019, it was announced that the programme would cease to exist under the university with its work being continued as a new private and independent organisation as the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute, with effect taking from 1 July of the same year. This decision was made partly due to Dr Chung's impending retirement. Research and staff contracts continued to be honoured, with the choice of returning to the university or staying in the institute being offered to upon the expiration of the contract. Scandals The programme was involved in the Robert Chung Affair in 2000, a political scandal which Dr Chung had spoken out on the programme being presurred by the then chief executive and university's chancellor Tung Chee-hwa through the university's vice-chancellor and pro-vice-chancellor from publishing the approval rates of the government, leading to an investigation panel being set up by the university. The vice-chancellor and pro-vice-chancellor resigned after the allegations were found to be true by the panel.

Barely he was ten years old, follows the major trials of the Liberation (notably the trials of Philippe Pétain, Pierre Laval and Robert Brasillach) through the reports given by the press. He was dismayed by the trial of Pierre Laval, which his execution carried out in a pitiful manner. He completed his secondary studies at the lycée Lakanal, where he became friends with the son of Maurice Thorez. He obtained a law degree in 1955 from the Faculty of Law of Paris. He joined the Communist Party of the Russian Federation (PCF) for two years and sold L'Humanité by auction, which led to other fights with the opposing camp. He left the PCF the day before the Soviet Union intervened in Budapest. Leclerc died in Paris on 31 August 2024, at the age of 90. Career as a lawyer He was sworn in as a lawyer on 14 December 1955.. He began his career as a solicitor alongside the lawyer Albert Naud, known for having been Pierre Laval's lawyer during the Purge. He inherited his legal library (which the latter had himself received from Raymond Poincaré).. A member of the Paris Bar Council, he was president of the French League for the Defense of Human and Citizen Rights from 1995 to 2000 and then its honorary president. He accompanied the social movement, alongside working peasants, miners, the CFDT, activists fighting for the improvement of detention conditions - he denounced the conditions of detention in high security prisons and supporters of an independent press. Henri Leclerc has defended famous clients, such as the newspaper Libération, the mathematician Alexandre Grothendieck, Richard Roman, Lucien Léger, Charlie Bauer, Michel Vaujour, François Besse, Roger Knobelspiess, Florence Rey, Doctor Archambeau, Hélène Castel, Jacques Viguier, Véronique Courjault, Dominique de Villepin, Dominique Strauss-Kahn (in the case that opposed him to Tristane Banon9 then in the so-called Carlton case in Lille) and Alain Lipietz, who was convicted of defamation. During the Jacques Tillier-Jacques Mesrine case in September 1979, the former having been left for dead at the bottom of a mushroom cellar, he defended one of the suspects, Charlie Bauer, who since 1977 has been granted parole, found a job as a bookseller and started a family. He discovers that his wife Renée Gindrat's account was checked as early as September two days before the identikit portrait inspired to the victim by a photo of Charlie Bauer and then questions Commissioner Mireille Ballestrazzi, who does not know why the OCRB did the financial research of September 13, which will allow her to obtain Bauer's acquittal at the trial in 1982, even if he is convicted of cannabis trafficking and receiving stolen property from part of a ransom from another kidnapping. He also defends Algerian independence activists, Breton autonomists and, after May 68, for years "leftists" being nicknamed at the time for this reason "the lawyer of the leftists". During the reconstruction for the Roman and Gentil affair, he is manhandled by the angry village crowd. He also acted as a civil party in the Omar Raddad case (representing the family of Ghislaine Marchal), represented the family of Pierre Overney, and defended the ex-boxer Christophe Dettinger, accused of intentional violence against police officers. He pleaded for the last time in 2020.

SMS Wolf (1860)

SMS Wolf was a steam gunboat of the built for the Prussian Navy in the late 1850s and early 1860s. Design The s came about as a result of a program to strengthen the Prussian Navy in the late 1850s in the aftermath of the dissolution of the and in the midst of rising tensions with Denmark. In 1859, Prince Regent Wilhelm approved a construction program for some fifty-two gunboats to be built over the next fifteen years, which began with the fifteen vessels of the Jäger class. Wolf was long overall, with a beam of and a draft of . She displaced normally and at full load. The ship's crew consisted of 2 officers and 38 enlisted men. She was powered by a pair of marine steam engines that drove one 3-bladed screw propeller, with steam provided by four coal-fired trunk boilers, which gave her a top speed of at . As built, she was equipped with a three-masted schooner rig. The ship was armed with a battery of one rifled 24-pounder muzzle-loading gun and two rifled 12-pounder muzzle-loading guns. Service history Wolf was built at the Liegnitz shipyard in Grabow. Her keel was laid down in 1859 and she was launched on 29 April 1860. The ship was not commissioned upon completion, and she was instead towed to Stralsund, where she was laid up on the nearby island of Dänholm. While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. Wolf was first commissioned on 21 February 1864 after the start of the Second Schleswig War against Denmark. She was assigned to III Flotilla Division. III and V Divisions were based in Stralsund to defend the Kubitzer Bodden and the Bay of Greifswald. In the aftermath of the Battle of Jasmund in mid-March, Prince Adalbert, the Prussian naval commander, ordered all five gunboat divisions to concentrate at Stralsund on 29 March to support the Prussian Army's invasion of the island of Als, but bad weather prevented the vessels from taking part in the operation. Following a ceasefire in May, the Prussian fleet held a naval review in Swinemünde for King Wilhelm I on 6 June; the aviso led the gunboat divisions during the review. Also in May, the ship was temporarily commanded by (Ensign) Friedrich von Hollmann. The ceasefire did not hold, and Wolf participated in a battle with Danish naval forces off Hiddensee on 3 July. On 23 September, Wolf was decommissioned and placed back in reserve at Dänholm. The ship returned to service on 3 April 1866 to carry out surveys of Prussia's North Sea coast, initially under the command of (ULzS–Sub-lieutenant at Sea) Conrad Dietert, but later in May, he was replaced by Otto Zembsch. She departed Kiel in company with Loreley on 22 April, bound for the Jade Bight. The outbreak of the Austro-Prussian War in June interrupted the survey work, and Wolf was assigned to a flotilla led by the ironclad . The unit also included several other vessels, including Loreley and the gunboats and ; the ships had assembled at Hamburg in early June, shortly before the start of the war on 14 June. The following day, the Kingdom of Hannover entered the war against Prussia, and because the Austrian fleet was confined to the Adriatic Sea, the Prussian navy concentrated its effort against the Hannoverians. During these operations, Wolf and Tiger bombarded Hannoverian coastal artillery at the mouth of the Elbe. On 24 June, Wolf towed four barges loaded with captured Hannoverian rifles and ammunition to Altona. After operations against Hannover ended, the ship returned to survey work, which lasted until her decommissioning on 10 November in Geestemünde. Wolf next recommissioned on 24 April 1867 for further survey work, this time in company with Loreley and the gunboat . She was decommissioned for the winter on 26 October, and she returned to service the following year on 21 April. But in 1868, budget conflicts between the navy and the caused a shortage of funds that necessitated the decommissioning of Wolf already on 6 May. Shortages of crewmen kept the ship out of service at Geestemünde in 1869. Wolf finally returned to service on 1 June 1870 to replace the ironclad as the station ship in Altona, but the start of the Franco-Prussian War the following month saw her transferred to guard the entrance to Jade Bay. In September, ULzS Franz Strauch took command of the ship. In May 1871, with the war over, Wolf returned to survey duty in the North Sea, which lasted until her decommissioning on 19 June. The ship was reactivated in August 1872 to serve as a tender for the artillery training ship . On 11 December, she sailed to Kiel, but icy conditions prevented her from reaching the port, and she had to turn back to Wilhelmshaven, where she was decommissioned on 31 December. Wolf was briefly recommissioned in April 1873 to sail through the Eider Canal to Kiel, where she was decommissioned again on 2 May. She was struck from the naval register on 26 September 1875, converted into a naval mine storage hulk, and was renamed Nr. 2 (Mine Barge No. 2). The vessel was eventually sunk as a target ship by the torpedo testing ship during tests outside Kiel on 4 August 1884. Her wreck was later raised and broken up.

As built, she was equipped with a three-masted schooner rig. The ship was armed with a battery of one rifled 24-pounder muzzle-loading gun and two rifled 12-pounder muzzle-loading guns. Service history Tiger, named after the eponymous large cat, was built at the Zieske shipyard in Stettin. Her keel was laid down in 1859 and she was launched on 14 February 1860. At the launching ceremony, some spectators got too close to the ship as it slid down the slipway and they were injured. After the ship was completed later that year, she was moved to Stralsund, where she was laid up on the nearby island of Dänholm. While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. Tiger was commissioned for the first time on 3 March 1864, shortly after the start of the Second Schleswig War. She was assigned to II Flotilla Division, along with several other gunboats. Commanded by (LzS—Lieutenant at Sea) Heinrich Kühne, she saw no action during the war, and on 14 October, she was decommissioned again at Dänholm. The ship was recommissioned again on 3 April 1866, and was moved to Kiel on 11 April, as tensions between Prussia and the Austrian Empire rose. On 12 May, the Prussian Navy issued mobilization orders, and Tiger was sent from the Black Sea to the mouth of the Elbe river on Prussia's North Sea coast. There, she joined a small squadron led by the ironclad , which was commanded by Reinhold von Werner and included the aviso and the gunboats and . On 15 June, , , and , covered the crossing of the Elbe river by General Edwin von Manteuffel and some 13,500 soldiers to attack the city of Hanover. The crossing took place in the span of ten hours, and Werner's flotilla later covered the crossing of additional forces to support Manteuffel, including cavalry and artillery units. , , and sent men ashore at Brunshausen, where they spiked the guns of an abandoned coastal artillery battery. Werner then detached and to bombard the batteries at the mouth of the Elbe. The Prussian army, supported by Werner's flotilla, had succeeded in capturing all of the major fortifications guarding the Elbe, Weser, and Ems by 22 June, and other naval forces from the Baltic and Mediterranean Sea had arrived to further strengthen the Prussian fleet. and the other vessels thereafter patrolled the coast of Ostfriesland to show the flag. At Leer, Tiger seized , the royal yacht of King George V of Hanover. Late in the war, Tiger was sent to serve as the guard ship at Altona. By the end of the month, the Prussian army had decisively defeated the Austrians at Königgrätz and ended the war. Following the signing of the peace treaty that formally ended the conflict, Werner's flotilla was disbanded on 23 August, and returned to Kiel in September. She was decommissioned there on 7 January 1867. Tiger next recommissioned on 24 July 1870, shortly after the start of the Franco-Prussian War, under the command of LzS August von Thomsen. She was initially used to defend Thiessow, but on 2 August, she was moved to the Kieler Förde to defend the approaches to Kiel, including a barrier at Friedrichsort. She saw no combat during the war, and was decommissioned on 29 April 1871 at Kiel. She was modernized there the following year, that included replacing her main gun with a more modern, iron RK L/22 gun. Her sailing rig was removed and a simple pole mast was fitted for signaling purposes. She was recommissioned on 22 August 1872, but she remained in service only so long as to move the ship to Wilhelmshaven, where she was taken out of service on 9 September. In 1874, she was recommissioned to serve as the tender for the artillery training ship from 3 March to 24 October, when she was placed back in reserve. During that period, LzS Fritz Rötger commanded the ship. Over the winter of 1873–1874, the boilers from her sister , which were in better condition, were installed aboard Tiger after the other vessel was discarded. Tiger thereafter recommissioned on 1 April 1875, under the command of LzS Hermann Kirchhoff, for another stint as tender for Renown, which ended on 29 September. The year 1876 followed the same pattern, but lasted from 1 April 1876 until 16 August. LzS August Gruner served as the ship's last commander during the 1876 training cycle. She was then struck from the naval register on 9 January 1877, renamed Nr. 4 (Mine Barge No. 4) and used as a storage hulk in Wilhelmshaven. Her ultimate fate is unknown.

SMS Wespe (1860)

SMS Wespe was a steam gunboat of the built for the Prussian Navy in the late 1850s and early 1860s. Design The s came about as a result of a program to strengthen the Prussian Navy in the late 1850s in the aftermath of the dissolution of the and in the midst of rising tensions with Denmark.

She was powered by a pair of marine steam engines that drove one 3-bladed screw propeller, with steam provided by four coal-fired trunk boilers, which gave her a top speed of at . As built, she was equipped with a three-masted schooner rig. The ship was armed with a battery of one rifled 24-pounder muzzle-loading gun and two rifled 12-pounder muzzle-loading guns. Service history Wespe, named for the German word for wasp, was built at the Zieske shipyard in Stettin. Her keel was laid down in 1859 and she was launched on 14 February 1860. The ship was not commissioned upon completion, and while out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. The preservation work was not successful, and soon after work was finished, workers discovered that her hull had already begun to mold badly, which militated against active service. After the start of the Second Schleswig War in February 1864, Wespe was commissioned under the command of (Ensign) Karl Eduard Heusner on 11 February. She was assigned to I Flotilla Division, along with several other gunboats. The flotilla was deployed on 17 March to support Captain Eduard von Jachmann's corvettes as they attempted to break the Danish blockade in the Baltic Sea, but the gunboats were only lightly engaged during the ensuing Battle of Jasmund. Jachmann had ordered them to take up a position closer to land to cover a potential withdrawal, and so they were too far to take part in the main action. Nevertheless, as the Danish steam frigate arrived to reinforce the main squadron, Scorpion and the other gunboats fired on her from afar. Tordenskjolds commander ignored the gunboats and continued south to join the fight with Jachmann's corvettes, firing only a few broadsides at the gunboats in passing, with neither side scoring any hits. As the Danes continued south in pursuit of Jachmann's ships, the gunboats withdrew back to Stralsund, though they had to take under tow after her engines broke down. Wespe saw no further action during the war, and was decommissioned in October. Wespe was mobilized on 24 July 1870 following the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. She soon sailed from Kiel, passed through the Eider Canal to the North Sea, and proceeded to the mouth of the Ems river. She was joined there by her sister ship , and the ships were based at Emden during this period. Wespes captain, LzS Johannes Meller, was the more senior officer of the two captains, and so he exercised command of the small flotilla. The two ships were planned to operate as part of the coastal defense system in the area, which also included coastal artillery batteries on the island of Borkum, and two infantry regiments. Wespe saw no combat during the war, mainly because the French squadron in the North Sea focused its attention on the area near Helgoland. On 10 September, Wespe and Natter went to sea to observe the withdrawal of French warships from Prussia's coast. The gunboats nevertheless patrolled in the Ems area for the next several months. An armistice ended the fighting on 28 January 1871, and in February, the Prussian fleet commander, Eduard von Jachmann, ordered Natter and Wespe to join the main fleet at Wilhelmshaven. Wespe thereafter returned to the Baltic, and on 13 May, she was decommissioned again at Kiel. During an inspection of the hull in 1872, the ship was found to be beyond economical repair, and she was accordingly struck from the naval register on 19 March. The ship was slated to be converted into a naval mine storage hulk, but before work began, the ship was briefly recommissioned (despite no longer officially being a naval vessel) on 22 July for brief service during gunnery practice. At the time, only her sister was available for the exercises in the Kieler Förde that lasted until 5 August. Wespe was then converted, renamed Nr. 1 (Mine Barge No. 1), and towed to Wilhelmshaven. The details of her eventual disposal are unknown. Notes References Category:Jäger-class gunboats Category:1860 ships

SMS Salamander (1860)

Service history Salamander was built at the A. G. Nüscke shipyard in Grabow. Her keel was laid down in 1859 and she was launched on 14 February 1860. The ship was named for the earlier , a paddle-wheel aviso in service in the early 1850s. She was completed late that year and was immediately send to Stralsund and then laid up on the nearby island of Dänholm. The ship was first commissioned for active service on 20 June 1861 to join a gunboat division. The division, which also included the gunboats Camäleon, , , , and , embarked on a short tour of northern European waters that included a visit to Skagen in Denmark and the free imperial cities of Hamburg and Bremen. After the stop in Skagen, the corvette and the schooner Hela joined the flotilla of gunboats. While on their way back to Prussia in September, they stopped in Lübeck. After arriving back in Prussia, Salamander was decommissioned on 14 October and placed in reserve. While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. On 21 February 1864, Salamander was recommissioned due to the start of the Second Schleswig War between Denmark and an Austro-Prussian alliance. She was assigned to the 3rd Flotilla Division, and she participated in a minor action off Hiddensee on 3 July. She was decommissioned again on 27 October in the final days of the war. The ship remained out of service until the start of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870; she was recommissioned on 24 July and was assigned to the Gunboat Flotilla. The unit was led by the aviso and was based at Swinemünde, under the command of Franz von Waldersee; the vessels were used to guard the island of Rügen. In August 1870, the ships sortied to attack a French squadron, resulting in an inconclusive action off Hiddensee on 17 August. Salamander was detached to strengthen the Prussian naval forces at Wilhelmshaven on Prussia's North Sea coast in early October. On 11 April 1871, she was decommissioned again, by this time having been moved to Kiel. In early 1872, Salamander had her main gun replaced with a more modern, iron RK L/22 gun and her sailing rig was removed. She then returned to active service on 16 August, initially serving as a tender for the training ship . On 23 October, Salamander carried the new Chief of the Admiralty, Albrecht von Stosch, to inspect the area at Friedrichsort near Kiel. She and the gunboat were present in the area during a very severe storm that struck the western Baltic Sea on 13 November. Salamander remained in service through the winter of 1872–1873. In the first half of 1873, she took part in training exercises in the Baltic and served as the tender for the new screw corvette . During this period, from May to November, (Lieutenant at Sea) Richard Geissler served as the ship's captain. In August, she again carried Stosch to Friedrichsort. In January 1874, (Sub-lieutenant at Sea) Ernst von Frantzius commanded the ship, though he left the following month. Salamander and the gunboat were sent in mid-May 1874 to assist the screw corvette , which had run aground off Langeland on the way back from her world cruise. Salamander thereafter resumed tender duties, a role she filled until mid-1875. On 15 June, she was decommissioned for the last time; she remained in reserve until 12 November 1878, when she was struck from the naval register. She was used as a barge, but her ultimate fate is unknown. Notes References Category:Jäger-class gunboats Category:1860 ships

While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. She remained out of service until the start of the Second Schleswig War in February 1864. She was commissioned on 1 March, under the command of Karl August Deinhard, and assigned to II Flotilla Division. She saw no action during the short war, and she was placed back in reserve in October. Schwalbe was recommissioned again on 27 July 1870 following the start of the Franco-Prussian War, and three days later she was moved to the North Sea via the Eider Canal. She again saw no combat, only carrying out defensive patrols to guard the entrance to Jade Bight, and was decommissioned at Geestemünde on 5 October. During an inspection at the (Imperial Shipyard) in Kiel in 1872, Schwalbe was found to be in poor condition, and she was accordingly struck from the naval register on 19 March. She was used for several years as a barge in Kiel under the name Nr. 1 (Mine Barge No. 1), but the date of her breaking up are not recorded.

Service history The keel for Natter was laid down at the Lübke shipyard in Wolgast in 1859 and she was launched on 14 February 1860. After her completion, she was moved to Stralsund, where she was laid up at the nearby island of Dänholm. While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. Natter was commissioned for the first time on 1 March 1864, under the command of (Ensign) Carl von Eisendecher, shortly after the start of the Second Schleswig War. Eisendecher remained aboard the ship for only a short period, and later that month he was replaced by (Lieutenant at Sea) Second Class Eduard von Knorr. She was assigned to II Flotilla Division, along with several other gunboats. Records are unclear, but according to the historians Hildebrand, Röhr, and Steinmetz, Natter probably served as the divisional flagship during the war. She saw no action during the war, and she was taken back out of service in October and was stored at Dänholm. On 19 July 1870, France declared war on Prussia, initiating the Franco-Prussian War. LzS Otto von Diederichs was sent to reactivate Natter that day, and the crew readied the vessel to be recommissioned on 24 July. The ship was sent through the Eider Canal to move to the North Sea in company with her sister ships and , initially to join the forces guarding the entrance to Jade Bight. After arriving there, she received orders to move further east to defend the mouth of the Ems river, along with her sister . On 2 August, Natter sailed up the Ems to Leer before rejoining Wespe. The two ships were planned to operate as part of the coastal defense system in the area, which also included coastal artillery batteries on the island of Borkum, and two infantry regiments. Natter saw no combat during the war, mainly because the French squadron in the North Sea focused its attention on the area near Helgoland.

She was then decommissioned at Wilhelmshaven on 12 April 1871. She was modernized soon thereafter, receiving a more modern RK L/22 gun. Her sailing rig was removed and a simple pole mast was fitted for signaling purposes. Natter was recommissioned again on 16 April 1873 to serve as a tender for the artillery training ship , which lasted until 19 September. She was then decommissioned again, and the ship saw no further active service. She nevertheless remained in the fleet's inventory until she was struck from the naval register on 7 September 1880. The details of her disposal are unknown. Notes References Category:Jäger-class gunboats Category:1860 ships

Service history Pfeil was built at the Lübke shipyard in Wolgast. Her keel was laid down in 1859 and she was launched on 14 February 1860. The ship was provisionally named Donner during construction, but on 18 October 1859, she was renamed Pfeil. After her completion in late 1860, she was moved to Stralsund, where she was laid up at the nearby island of Dänholm. While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. Following the outbreak of the Second Schleswig War in February 1864, Pfeil was commissioned for the first time on 11 February as the Prussian Navy mobilized for war.

As the Danes continued south in pursuit of Jachmann's ships, the gunboats withdrew back to Stralsund, though they had to take under tow after her engines broke down. Pfeil participated in a sortie into the Baltic on 6 May, which resulted in no combat with Danish vessels. The gunboat flotillas were thereafter reorganized and Pfeil served as the division flagship through the end of the war. From September, (Captain Lieutenant) Adolph Berger served as the ship's captain. She was then decommissioned on 13 October and towed back to Dänholm. Pfeil next recommissioned on 3 May 1869 to serve as the guard ship in Danzig. She was also used as the tender for the (Royal Shipyard) there. During this period, (Corvette Captain) Otto Livonius commanded the ship from September to October 1869, and then again from January to February 1870. On 16 July 1870, after the start of the Franco-Prussian War, she sailed west, stopping in Swinemünde on the way to pass through the Eider Canal to the North Sea. By early August, she had arrived at the mouth of the Elbe river, where she was stationed as a guard ship as part of a coastal defense flotilla. In early 1871, she was moved to the flotilla stationed in Jade Bight, where she remained until 12 April, when she was removed from active service. During an inspection of the hull in early 1872, significant rotting was discovered. The ship was accordingly struck from the naval register on 19 March. She was initially renamed P (Mine Barge) and was converted into a storage hulk for naval mines. The ship was renamed Nr. 2 in 1878, but details of her ultimate fate are unknown.

SMS Habicht (1860)

SMS Habicht was a steam gunboat of the built for the Prussian Navy in the late 1850s and early 1860s. Design The s came about as a result of a program to strengthen the Prussian Navy in the late 1850s in the aftermath of the dissolution of the and in the midst of rising tensions with Denmark. In 1859, Prince Regent Wilhelm approved a construction program for some fifty-two gunboats to be built over the next fifteen years, which began with the fifteen vessels of the Jäger class. Habicht was long overall, with a beam of and a draft of . She displaced normally and at full load. The ship's crew consisted of 2 officers and 38 enlisted men. She was powered by a pair of marine steam engines that drove one 3-bladed screw propeller, with steam provided by four coal-fired trunk boilers, which gave her a top speed of at . As built, she was equipped with a three-masted schooner rig. The ship was armed with a battery of one rifled 24-pounder muzzle-loading gun and two rifled 12-pounder muzzle-loading guns. Service history Habicht was laid down at the Keier & Devrient shipyard in Danzig 1859 and she was launched in 1860. After completion in late 1860, Habicht was moved to Stralsund and was then laid up on the nearby island of Dänholm. While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. After the start of the Second Schleswig War in February 1864, Habicht was recommissioned under the command of (LzS—Lieutenant at Sea) Paul von Reibnitz on 1 March to join III Flotilla Division. III and V Divisions were based in Stralsund to defend the Kubitzer Bodden and the Bay of Greifswald. In the aftermath of the Battle of Jasmund in mid-March, Prince Adalbert, the Prussian naval commander, ordered all five gunboat divisions to concentrate at Stralsund on 29 March to support the Prussian Army's invasion of the island of Als, but bad weather prevented the vessels from taking part in the operation. In April, LzS Carl von Eisendecher replaced Reibnitz as the ship's captain. Following a ceasefire in May, the Prussian fleet held a naval review in Swinemünde for King Wilhelm I on 6 June; the aviso led the gunboat divisions during the review. The ceasefire did not hold, and Habicht participated in a battle with Danish naval forces off Hiddensee on 3 July. In late September, Habicht was decommissioned and placed back in reserve at Dänholm. Habicht was recommissioned again on 3 April 1867 to serve as a tender for the (Baltic Sea Naval Station), based in Kiel. While serving in this role, Habicht also carried soldiers from the (Naval Battalion) around the area, and she took part in training exercises with naval gun crews. She also operated gunnery training ship . On 4 September, Habicht embarked visitors to the fourteenth Evangelical Church Conference for a local tour. The ship was decommissioned for the winter on 30 November, and was recommissioned on 1 April 1868. She resumed tender duties in Kiel, but funding shortages forced the navy to decommission the ship from 8 May to 10 July. After returning to service, she again operated as a tender for Thetis. Prince Adalbert came aboard Habicht for an inspection of the coasts of Holstein, Mecklenburg, and Western Pomerania from 20 to 22 September. The ship was placed back in reserve on 28 November. Engine problems prevented Habicht from being recommissioned in 1869. After the start of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, the Prussian Navy mobilized its ships on 20 July, including Habicht. She was sent through the Eider Canal to join the ships guarding the mouth of the Elbe river, arriving there on 31 July. She saw no action during this period, and after the war in 1871, she was sent into the Unterelbe to supervise the withdrawal of French prisoners of war back to France. On 21 April, the ship was decommissioned at Wilhelmshaven. The following year, Habicht underwent a refit that included replacing her main gun with a more modern, iron RK L/22 gun. Her sailing rig was removed and a simple pole mast was fitted for signaling purposes. The ship's last period in service began on 19 March 1877, which saw the ship serve as a tender for the artillery training ship . On 31 August, she was decommissioned again, and on 29 November, she was struck from the naval register. She was then converted into a storage hulk based in Wilhelmshaven. Her ultimate fate is unknown. Notes References Category:Jäger-class gunboats Category:1860 ships

As built, she was equipped with a three-masted schooner rig. The ship was armed with a battery of one rifled 24-pounder muzzle-loading gun and two rifled 12-pounder muzzle-loading guns. Service history Hyäne was built at the Keier & Devrient shipyard in Danzig. Her keel was laid down in 1859 and she was launched in April 1860. The ship was commissioned in late 1860 for a brief period of sea trials, after which she was moved to Stralsund, where she was laid up at the nearby island of Dänholm. While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. Following the outbreak of the Second Schleswig War in February 1864, Hyäne was commissioned for the first time on 11 February as the Prussian Navy mobilized for war. She was assigned to I Flotilla Division, along with several other gunboats. The flotilla was deployed on 17 March to support Captain Eduard von Jachmann's corvettes as they attempted to break the Danish blockade, but the gunboats were only lightly engaged during the ensuing Battle of Jasmund. Jachmann had ordered them to take up a position closer to land to cover a potential withdrawal, and so they were too far to take part in the main action. Nevertheless, as the Danish steam frigate arrived to reinforce the main squadron, Scorpion and the other gunboats fired on her from afar. Tordenskjolds commander ignored the gunboats and continued south to join the fight with Jachmann's corvettes, firing only a few broadsides at the gunboats in passing, with neither side scoring any hits. As the Danes continued south in pursuit of Jachmann's ships, the gunboats withdrew back to Stralsund, though they had to take under tow after her engines broke down. In June, Hyäne was withdrawn from frontline service, and in early October, shew was decommissioned. Hyäne was recommissioned briefly in 1869 to move her from Dänholm to Kiel, being in service only from 29 June to 9 July. The ship next saw active service in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War. She was recommissioned on 24 July, and then sent through the Eider Canal to the North Sea, where she was assigned to the squadron defending the Prussian naval base at Wilhelmshaven. On 28 January 1871, she was transferred to the flotilla guarding the mouth of the Elbe river. Hyäne was decommissioned at Wilhelmshaven on 20 May. An inspection of the hull in 1872 revealed that it was in badly rotted, so she was struck from the naval register on 17 July 1873. The ship's boilers were still in good condition, so they were installed aboard her sister . Hyäne was then expended as a target ship.

Service history Sperber was laid down at the Domcke shipyard in Grabow in 1859 and she was launched on 14 February 1860. The ship, which was named after the sparrowhawk, was moved to Stralsund after completion later that year, where she was laid up on the island of Dänholm, where all of her sisters were also placed in reserve. She remained out of service until the outbreak of the Second Schleswig War in February 1864; Sperber was commissioned on 11 February and was assigned to III Flotilla Division. III and V Divisions were based in Stralsund to defend the Kubitzer Bodden and the Bay of Greifswald. On 17 March, Sperber was sent to take her sister under tow after her engines broke down while withdrawing from the Battle of Jasmund. In the aftermath of the battle, Prince Adalbert, the Prussian naval commander, ordered all five gunboat divisions to concentrate at Stralsund on 29 March to support the Prussian Army's invasion of the island of Als, but bad weather prevented the vessels from taking part in the operation.

Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. Sperber was reactivated on 29 June 1869, under the command of (LzS—Lieutenant at Sea) Gustav Stempel, for a period of testing that concluded on 9 July. She was then placed back out of service at Kiel. She was recommissioned next on 19 July 1870, the day the Franco-Prussian War started, under the command of LzS Franz von Kyckbusch. She was immediately sent to the North Sea, passing through the Danish straits and arriving in Cuxhaven on 28 July. She then moved west to join the ships guarding the entrance to Jade Bight. On 12 October, she was decommissioned at Geestemünde. Sperber was briefly recommissioned on 5 August 1872 to move the ship back to Kiel via the Eider Canal, where she was decommissioned on 22 August. There, she was modernized with a more modern RK L/22 gun. Her sailing rig was removed and a simple pole mast was fitted for signaling purposes. The ship was recommissioned on 15 June 1875 for use as a tender, supporting the (Naval Station of the Baltic Sea). The ship's first command during this period was (KL—Captain Lieutenant) Albert von Seckendorff; LzS Hans Sack replaced him in August 1875, serving until May 1876. KL Felix von Bendemann commanded the ship from September 1876 to April 1877. Sperber served in as a tender until 31 May 1877, when she was withdrawn from service for the last time. She was struck from the naval register on 12 November 1878 and thereafter used as a barge in Kiel. Her ultimate fate is unknown. Notes References Category:Jäger-class gunboats Category:1860 ships

Service history Scorpion was built at the Domcke shipyard in Grabow. Her keel was laid down in 1859 and she was launched on 14 February 1860. Named after the eponymous arachnids, Scorpion was completed in late 1860 and immediately sent to the island of Dänholm near Stralsund, where she was laid up in reserve. She was commissioned on 26 June 1861 to join a gunboat flotilla, which included , , , , and for a visit to Skagen in Denmark and the free imperial cities of Hamburg and Bremen. After the stop in Skagen, the corvette and the schooner Hela joined the flotilla of gunboats. While on their way back to Prussia in September, they stopped in Lübeck. After arriving back in Prussia, Scorpion conducted sea trials that lasted until 15 October, when she was decommissioned and placed back in reserve at Dänholm. While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. Scorpion returned to service on 11 February 1864 as the Prussian Navy mobilized after the start of the Second Schleswig War. She was assigned to the 1st Flotilla Division, which saw action at the Battle of Jasmund on 17 March. The flotilla was deployed to support Captain Eduard von Jachmann's corvettes as they attempted to break the Danish blockade, but the gunboats were only lightly engaged.

On 14 April, after a minor action off the island of Hiddensee, in which Scorpion did not take part, the Prussian gunboat flotilla was reduced to a reserve formation and took no further active part in the war. On 21 October, Scorpion was decommissioned at Stralsund, though on 27 September 1865, she moved to Kiel (without having been placed in commission); she towed a pair of gun-armed shallops to Kiel during the voyage. The ship next recommissioned in early 1866 as tensions between Prussia and the Austrian Empire rose prior to the outbreak of the Austro-Prussian War. Scorpion towed a pair of gun-armed dinghies to Friedrichsort outside Kiel. She later towed the corvettes and , which were still under construction, in Kiel's harbor so they could be fitted out. On 29 May, she embarked now- (Rear Admiral) Jachmann for a trip from Kiel to Schleswig to meet (Lieutenant General) Edwin Freiherr von Manteuffel, the Prussian governor and the commander of the Prussian army garrison there. The ship saw no action during the short war that began in June and ended in July, and she was placed back in reserve soon thereafter. The ship was recommissioned again on 21 February 1867 to serve as the tender for the naval command in Kiel. During this period, she was used to train engine room crews and for testing signals between ships and shore-based observers. In October, she was decommissioned for the winter. After recommissioning on 28 May 1868, she resumed engine room training on 20 June, which lasted until October, when she was again laid up for the winter. Scorpion next recommissioned on 3 May 1869, initially serving as a tender for the gunnery training ship , but this was interrupted from 30 August to 4 September by training exercises with several ironclad warships in the western Baltic. Otto Herbig commanded the ship from July to October that year. On 30 October, Scorpion was again laid up for the winter. Scorpion was recommissioned for the last time on 22 July 1870 after the Prussian fleet again mobilized, this time for the Franco-Prussian War. She was assigned to the naval forces guarding the naval mine barrier guarding the approaches to Kiel at Friedrichsort, which were led by the paddle aviso . The unit, led by (Rear Admiral) Eduard Heldt, also included the artillery training ship and the gunboats , Camäleon, , and Scorpion. Based in Stralsund were the gunboats and Fuchs, and at Danzig was the screw corvette . In September, French warships left the Baltic, and Scorpion spent the rest of the war assisting merchant shipping in the area and preventing them from running into the minefield. In 1872, Scorpion underwent a refit that included replacing her main gun with a more modern, iron RK L/22 gun, and her boilers were replaced. Her sailing rig was removed and a simple pole mast was fitted for signaling purposes. She saw no further active service, however, and on 9 January 1877, she was struck from the naval register. She was used as a mine storage barge for some time afterward, but her ultimate fate is unknown. Notes References Category:Jäger-class gunboats Category:1860 ships

She was powered by a pair of marine steam engines that drove one 3-bladed screw propeller, with steam provided by four coal-fired trunk boilers, which gave her a top speed of at . As built, she was equipped with a three-masted schooner rig. The ship was armed with a battery of one rifled 24-pounder muzzle-loading gun and two rifled 12-pounder muzzle-loading guns. Service history Hay was built at the J. W. Klawitter shipyard in Danzig. Her keel was laid down in 1859 and she was launched on 14 February 1860. The ship was named after sharks. During the launching ceremony, the chain used to lower the ship down the slipway broke, but the ship was not damaged in the accident. After completion in late 1860, Hay was moved to Stralsund and was then laid up on the nearby island of Dänholm. While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out.

As the Danes continued south in pursuit of Jachmann's ships, the gunboats withdrew back to Stralsund, though Hays engines broke down and she had to be taken under tow by her sister . Hay was decommissioned in Stralsund in October and placed back in reserve. The Prussian naval command initially planned on mobilizing Hay at the start of the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, but the war ended quickly in a Prussian victory and activating the ship proved to be unnecessary. The ship was instead eventually recommissioned on 1 July 1869 to serve as a tender for the (Baltic Sea Naval Station), based in Kiel. During this period, Hay and the transport Elbe carried a Mine Detachment to Bremerhaven; these mines would later be used to defend the entrance to Jade Bight during the Franco-Prussian War the following year. Hay was then placed back into reserve at Kiel on 20 November. The ship next returned to service on 18 July 1870, under the command of (LzS—Lieutenant at Sea) Iwan Friedrich Julius Oldekop, after the start hostilities with France. Six days later, she joined Sperber and the gunboat to steam to the North Sea, passing around Denmark and arriving in the mouth of the Elbe river on 28 July. The ship saw no action while patrolling Prussia's North Sea coast, and on 4 April 1871, she left Wilhelmshaven to return to Kiel, this time passing through the Eider Canal. After arriving in Kiel on 12 April, she resumed tender duties for the naval station there, and she also served as the tender for the artillery training ship . Hay was decommissioned on 4 July 1872, but already on 22 July, she was recommissioned to replace her sister , which was by then no longer fit for service. At this time, LzS Richard Aschenborn took command of the ship. After completing the shooting practice exercise on 5 August, Aschenborn left the ship, and Hay was then moved to Wilhelmshaven and decommissioned there on 7 October.. There, Hay underwent a refit that included replacing her main gun with a more modern, iron RK L/22 gun. Her sailing rig was removed and a simple pole mast was fitted for signaling purposes. The ship never returned to active service, however, and on 7 September 1880, she was struck from the naval register and thereafter converted into a storage hulk in Wilhelmshaven. Her ultimate fate is unknown. Footnotes Notes Citations References Category:Jäger-class gunboats Category:1860 ships

Service history Crocodill was laid down at the Mitzlaff shipyard in Elbing in 1859, and she was launched in late January 1860. Named after the crocodile, the ship was completed later that year, and after conducting her initial sea trials in the fall of 1860, she was moved to Stralsund before being laid up on the island of Dänholm. While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. The preservation efforts were not successful, and by the start of the Second Schleswig War in February 1864, Crocodill was found to be badly dry rotted. Temporary repairs to the hull were made to allow her to be mobilized for use as a floating battery to defend Stralsund in the event of a Danish amphibious assault, which did not materialize. After a few months of service, she was again laid up. Crocodill remained in the fleet's inventory for just a short time, before being struck from the naval register on 14 March 1867 and thereafter broken up.

As built, she was equipped with a three-masted schooner rig. The ship was armed with a battery of one rifled 24-pounder muzzle-loading gun and two rifled 12-pounder muzzle-loading guns. Service history Jäger was built at the Mitzlaff shipyard in Elbing. Her keel was laid down in 1859 and she was launched in January 1860. There was no launching ceremony to avoid any increase in costs for construction of the ship. She was commissioned on 25 June 1861 for sea trials, after which she joined a gunboat flotilla. The unit was led by the gunboat , and also included , , and . The ships departed for a training cruise that included a visit to Skagen in Denmark and the free imperial cities of Hamburg and Bremen. After the stop in Skagen, the corvette and the schooner Hela joined the flotilla of gunboats. While on their way back to Prussia in September, they stopped in Lübeck. After the cruise, Jäger completed her trials, which ended on 12 October, when she was decommissioned. The ship was then towed to the island of Dänholm near Stralsund, where she was laid up ashore. While out of service, her copper sheathing was removed from her hull so ventilation holes could be cut into the outer planking. Her entire propulsion system, including the masts and the funnel, was removed and a roof was erected over the hull to keep the elements out. The ship next recommissioned on 21 February 1864, shortly after the outbreak of the Second Schleswig War against Denmark. She was assigned to III Flotilla Division, under the command of (Lieutenant at Sea) Johann-Heinrich Pirner. III and V Divisions were based in Stralsund to defend the Kubitzer Bodden and the Bay of Greifswald. In the aftermath of the Battle of Jasmund in mid-March, Prince Adalbert, the Prussian naval commander, ordered all five gunboat divisions to concentrate at Stralsund on 29 March to support the Prussian Army's invasion of the island of Als, but bad weather prevented the vessels from taking part in the operation. Following a ceasefire in May, the Prussian fleet held a naval review in Swinemünde for King Wilhelm I on 6 June; the aviso led the gunboat divisions during the review. The ceasefire did not hold, and Jäger participated in a battle with Danish naval forces off Hiddensee on 3 July. After the war ended, she was decommissioned on 23 September. An inspection of the hull revealed damage below the waterline and burned planks near the boilers. Jäger was recommissioned again on 24 July 1870 after the start of the Franco-Prussian War earlier that month. Commanded by LzS Gustav Stempel, she was deployed to the mouth of the Elbe river to defend the area against French warships, but she saw no action during the conflict. She was later moved to the mouth of the Weser river, but encountered no French vessels there either. She was decommissioned on 8 April 1871, and unlike most of her sister ships, she was not modernized in 1872, owing to her poor condition. She was instead struck from the naval register on 19 March 1872. She was initially used as a target ship in Wilhelmshaven, but was later converted into a coal storage hulk, a role she filled until the early 1880s, when she was broken up.

After Shumenov came back to take the ninth and tenth rounds, Hopkins would rebound to score his fist knockdown since knocking down Joe Calzaghe six years prior, sending Shumenov down to his knees after landing a big overhand right. Though Shumenov was clearly hurt, he was able to continue the fight and survive the round. Following the knockdown, Hopkins would land punches at will for the next round and a half with Shumenov clinching throughout in order to make it to the end of the fight. With the fight going to the judge's scorecards, two judges, Jerry Roth and Dave Moretti, scored the fight for Hopkins with identical 116–111 scores, while the third judge, Gustavo Padilla, shockingly had Shumenov the winner with a score 114–113. Aftermath While Hopkins shrugged off Padilla's scoring stating "It's not my job to deal with that", Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer called the scoring "bullshit" and called for Padilla to retire, while ESPN writer Dan Rafael would write that Padilla's scoring "will go down among the worst in modern boxing history."Hopkins decisions Shumenov, ESPN article, 2014-04-20 Retrieved on 2024-08-29 Both Rafael and The Ring's Lem Satterfield had scored the fight 118–109 for Hopkins.

Biester Palace

The Biester Palace (Palácio Biester), also known as Chalet Biester and Casa Biester, is a large, family building designed primarily to be a summer home, that overlooks Sintra in Portugal. It is known for its interior decorations, with considerable use of wood and frescoes, and is surrounded by extensive exotic gardens. Privately owned, it has been open to visitors since 2022. History The building was conceived in 1880 by (1828–1880), a wealthy playwright and theatre impresario in Lisbon. He identified one of Portugal's leading architects, José Luis Monteiro, to design it. Unfortunately, Biester died childless in the same year and the responsibility for building the house passed to his brother, Frederico and his wife Amélia Freitas Guimarães Chamiço, who came from a family of bankers. The couple were extremely wealthy, well-travelled, and well-informed about international trends, particularly admiring the mansions that lined the boulevards of Paris after the reforms in the layout of that city instituted by Georges-Eugène Haussmann. Leandro Braga (1839–1897) was identified to carry out the intricate woodcarving and Luigi Manini (1848–1936), an architect and set designer, who designed the Buçaco Palace, to do the interior decoration, with ceilings being painted by the French artist, Paul-Jacques-Aimé Baudry. Tiles for both the house and garden were supplied by the factory of the noted artist Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro. It is not certain when the construction began: one source suggests 1886. Records show that the stained glass supplied by "Hubert of Paris" and "Champ Vert" was installed in 1889, and that Braga worked between 1894 and 1896. The building was not fully completed until 1907 although possibly occupied before then. Design The Biester Palace is bordered by the Quinta da Regaleira to the west and by the Estrada da Pena, which leads from Sintra to the Castle of the Moors and the Pena Palace, to the east. Described as an eclectic revivalist mansion with influences drawn from the Romantic and neo-Gothic styles, the building is considered one of the most representative works of Monteiro. Others have noted the influence of Art Nouveau, Neo-Mudéjar and Alpine styles. Its present condition remains faithful to the original design and reflects the fact that it was intended to be both a home and an important venue for the couple's social life. Divided into two floors, with a kitchen in the basement, the house includes a dining room, ballroom, billiard room, library, and a chapel. Two other notable features, which were very rare at the time, are a lift and an en suite bathroom in the master bedroom. The wooden lift was constructed by Raoul Mesnier de Ponsard who, among other things, was responsible for the Santa Justa Lift in Lisbon. The lift was manually operated from the outside on the ground floor, employing a system of cogwheels. Part of this mechanism can be seen in the basement. thumb|250px|Interior view of the palace thumb|250px|View of part of the gardens from the house On the ground floor, the library and reading room features a ceiling painted with complex mysterious pagan symbols, which are not fully understood. The living room also has paintings by Manini, as does the music room, which contains an American organ from the 1880s. The ballroom has a large fireplace decorated with Bordalo Pinheiro tiles. Several of the rooms have doors opening to the terrace, with views of Sintra. The wooden staircase is neo-gothic in style, with art nouveau frescos by Manini. At the top of the stairs there is a neo-Gothic chapel with two entrances, one used by the residents and the other by visitors. It takes its inspiration from the Knights Templar, who had connections with Sintra going back to the Reconquista, and has symbolic paintings and impressive stained-glass windows of Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Ávila, Elizabeth of Portugal, and Saint Joseph. The ceiling is by Baudry. The remainder of the first floor is devoted to living quarters. The ceiling of the master bedroom was also painted by Baudry and has an angel with the “Mona Lisa effect,” with the eyes seeming to follow the observer. Stairs lead to a second floor, but this is closed to the public. The gardens The gardens, mainly on steep slopes, were designed by the French landscaper François Nogré, about whom little is known. It is believed that he took his inspiration from the gardens of the Pena Palace. Biester's gardens make full use of the natural contours, employing ponds, waterfalls, bridges and caves and take full advantage of the views offered, including the centre of Sintra and the Castle of the Moors. With access to plentiful water, they are very lush and exuberant. The gardens contain species from all over the world including camellias from China and Japan, the endangered Ginkgo biloba, green and red beech trees from central Europe, conifers and gum trees from North America, ferns from Australia, plane trees and laurels, Acanthus mollis, periwinkles, and tamarillos, among many other species. There is also a cave with tiles by Bordalo Pinheiro. thumb|250px|View of Sintra from the gardens Tragedy The families of both Frederico and Amélia were severely affected by deaths caused by epidemics, especially the Chamiço family of Amélia, which was almost completely wiped out by tuberculosis. The fatalities included both her (died 1900) and Frederico (1899). In the end, only Amélia's aunt, Claudina Ermelinda Chamiço, remained, and she funded the construction of the Santana Sanatorium in Parede, the development of which had been a wish of Amélia. In popular culture In 1999 the building was used as a set for the film The Ninth Gate directed by Roman Polanski and starring Johnny Depp, Lena Olin and Frank Langella.

64th Provisional Infantry Regiment (PA)

64th Infantry Regiment, is a provisional unit of Philippine Commonwealth Army under 61st Infantry Division activated and organized in Panay Island. It fought the Japanese invaders in the island from April 18, 1942, to May 12, 1942, after ordered to surrender by Visayas-Mindanao Force commander Major General William F. Sharp. Background After General Sharp moved his headquarters in Mindanao, he ordered bulked of his units to Mindanao as well. 61st Division units was ordered to released 61st Infantry under Colonel Mitchell based in Negros, 62nd Infantry under Colonel Thayer, and 61st Field Artillery under Colonel Tarkington and transfer to Mindanao via Negros. This leaving only one regiment in the island, General Bradford Chynoweth commander of 61st Division without delay, organized 2 new regiments out from trainees and new recruits in the island. Initially it was named 61st Provisional Infantry and 62nd Provisional Infantry to replace the previous regiments who left the island. However, in order not to create confusion it was renamed to 64th Infantry (Provisional) initially under Lieutenant Colonel Amos Francia, but later replaced by Lieutenant Colonel James Bickerton. After reorganization of the division staff Lieutenant Colonel Lyle Fritzpatrick replaced Colonel Bickerton who was transferred as division staff. The regiment participated in the Operation Baus Au initiated by General Chynoweth before he was ordered to assumed command of the new Visayas Force base in Cebu. The command of the island was passed on to Colonel Albert Christie as commander of Panay Force and 61st Infantry Division. Japanese Invasion On April 18, 1942, two days after the Kawaguchi Detachment invaded Cebu, the Kawamura detachment invaded Panay in three 3 different landing zones. The 64th Infantry was assigned to Capiz Province to thwart any Japanese landings but Naval and Air bombardment prevented them to do so due to absence of a single artillery gun in the Island. They retreated inland and resorted to ambuscades and raids to Japanese warehouses inflicting heavy casualties to the Japanese. However, this did not prevent Kawamura Detachment turnover Panay to 10th Independent Garrison to leave for Mindanao. On May 11, 1942, order came from Mindanao to surrender at daybreak, Lieutenant Colonel Allen Thayer a representative from General Sharp from Visayas-Mindanao Force Headquarters in Mindanao to enforce the order. On May 12, 1942, Colonel Christie surrendered his Division to the Japanese forces in Cabatuan, Iloilo. However, some officers and men did not obeyed his ordered and continue to fight on as guerilla led by former Division G3 Operations Officer and now commander of the regiment Lieutenant Colonel Macario Peralta Jr., of the Philippine Army.

Valencia Street

thumb|Houses lining Valencia Street, 2012 Valencia Street is a major thoroughfare in San Francisco, California. It begins at Market Street near the foot of Hayes Valley, and passes through the Mission District before ending at an intersection with Mission Street in Bernal Heights. Valencia Street is the historical boundary of several neighborhoods. The street is named after the Valencia family, who were early Mexican settlers in California. thumb|The Valencia Street Hotel collapsed into the roadway in the aftermath of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake The original Market Street Railroad was run down Valencia Street to the San Francisco and San Jose Railroad depot with service beginning in 1860. Cables were installed in the roadway for haulage in 1883. The line's operations were so closely tied to those on Market Street that installing streetcar electrification along Valencia was deemed as unnecessary unless Market Street could be similarly electrified (overhead wires had been banned along Market some years before electrification had been undertaken citywide). The roadway was heavily damaged during the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake. Electric trolley service began on October1, over five months after the disaster. Streetcar service ended on January15, 1949 and was not replaced with buses, leaving the street devoid of public transit along its length. In the 1990s, the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition had successfully campaigned to have the median divider on Valencia Street removed to make way for cyclist facilities. Subsequently, the city has sought to further improve bicycle access along the thoroughfare. Lane widths were reduced, bike lanes installed, and sidewalks widened in 1999 as part of a road diet. The median between 15th and 19th was further removed in the early 2000s and the roadway reconfigured with bike lanes. Attempts have been ongoing to facilitate bicycle travel while also appeasing the desires of merchants. A pilot program with center-running bike lanes debuted on August1, 2023. This setup was met with largely negative response. thumb|The center running bike lane on Valencia, looking north from 18th Street, seen in August 2024 References Bibliography External links Category:Streets in San Francisco

Temple of Nabu (Palmyra)

The Temple of Nabu (or temple of Nabo, or Nebo) is a ruined sanctuary located in the city of Palmyra, in Syria and dedicated to the Babylonian deity Nabu. It is considered among the most important of the World Heritage Site of Palmyra. History and description The construction of the temple dates back to the second half or the last quarter of the 1st century CE.; however the oldest structures of the sanctuary, preceding the architecture that reached us, date back to CE.23. and the construction of the porticoes around the temenos continued during the 2nd century CE. thumb|left|Some bases of the ancient columns of the temple of Nabu. The temple was dedicated to Nabu, the Babylonian deity of oracles, of wisdom and writing, identified in the Greco-Roman pantheon with Apollo or Mercury. It has been observed that the Palmyrenes' devotion to this oriental god testifies to the relative independence of Palmyra from the prevailing Roman cultural model. When, between the end of the 2nd century and the beginning of the 3rd century, the central section of the Great Colonnade of Palmyra was erected, the northern part of the temenos The trapezoidal plan of the temple of Nebo was modified, but the temple wasn't moved and the colonnaded avenue went around it (it's believed that the traders of Palmyra might have feared negative repercussions from the god if the sanctuary had been moved). Only a few remains of the ancient sanctuary have survived: the podium on which the temple stood, which measures 180 miles; the bases of the columns that surrounded the main structure of the building; some remains of the external perimeter fence. The temple had a plan structure typical of oriental architecture: the cella was surrounded by a peristyle of 72 Corinthian columns and overlooked an open-air altar facing south; this was accessed from the south through a six-columned propylaeum. thumb|left|The explorers Robert Wood and in front of the ruins of Palmyra (oil by Gavin Hamilton, CE.1757). thumb|right|Overview of the archaeological site of Palmyra. Print by Robert Wood, made in CE.1753. The temple of Nabû was discovered, then cleared during the 18th century. The operation takes place during a archaeological expedition. This exploration follows the exhumation of Palmyra of the first urban ruins by merchants from Aleppo, in CE.1691. The temple of Nabu was excavated between CE.1963 and 1965 by a Franco-Syrian archaeological team.

Arktika.1

Arktika.1 is a virtual reality first-person shooter developed by 4A Games and published by Oculus Studios. The game was released in October 2017 for Oculus Rift. Gameplay Arktika.1 is a first-person shooter. The game is set in the far future in which Earth has fallen into a new ice age. The player assumes control of an elite mercenary tasked with protecting a settlement named Arktika.1 (based in modern-day Russia) from bandits and beasts known as "yagas". The player has the ability to dual wield weapons and quickly teleport short distances to progress or dodge from attacks. The game features ten different weapons, and they can be customized with various attachments to enhance their efficiency. The game utilizes the Oculus Touch motion controller. Players have to use their hands (holding the Touch controller) to aim and shoot, while physically bending down to hide behind cover. Development The game was announced by 4A Games in October 2016. Jon Bloch, executive producer of the game, described Arktika.1 as a "significant sized game" and a AAA production. Since the team was not experienced in making virtual reality games, the studio decided to set it in post-apocalyptic Russia, a setting that the team was very familiar with after working on two Metro games. The studio worked on the project for two years. The game was released worldwide for Oculus Rift on October 10, 2017. Reception The game received "mixed or average" reviews upon release, according to review aggregator Metacritic. Writing for UploadVR, Jamie Feltham noted that the game was longer than other VR shooters in the market and wrote that Arktika.1 was “extremely polished", but he was disappointed by the repetitive mission design and unbalanced weapons. Jason D'Aprile from GameSpot praised the game's implementation of motion control using the Touch controller and felt that it was an immersive title. He concluded his review by saying that "the mix of excellent graphics and surprisingly intense battles makes this one of the more enjoyable action games available on Rift".

Post-election pendulum for the 1996 Australian federal election

The Mackerras pendulum as a way of predicting the outcome of an election contested between two major parties in a Westminster style lower house legislature such as the Australian House of Representatives, which is composed of single-member electorates and which uses a preferential voting system such as a Condorcet method or instant-runoff voting. The pendulum works by lining up all of the seats held in Parliament for the government, the opposition and the crossbenches according to the percentage point margin they are held by on a two party preferred basis. This is also known as the swing required for the seat to change hands. Given a uniform swing to the opposition or government parties, the number of seats that change hands can be predicted.

Loris Mettler

Loris Mettler (born 14 December 1998) is a Swiss football midfielder who plays for Sandefjord. Career Born in Chêne-Bougeries, he is French-speaking and played youth football for Servette FC. He also had spells with Etoile Carouge and Team Vaud as an U21 player, before spending three seasons in the Swiss Promotion League with Étoile-Carouge. Mettler was brought to Lleida CF in the Spanish fourth tier, before going on trial with Norwegian club Raufoss IL in February 2023. He made his debut in a friendly against Strømsgodset, and after spending the first fifteen minutes to adjust, Mettler showed his trademark passing abilities. Mettler was acquainted with one of Raufoss' coaches from their concurrent spell in Servette. The transfer to Raufoss was penned the same month. In the 2023 Norwegian Football Cup, he among others scored from his own half against Mjøndalen, and scored a panenka penalty kick against Viking. Mettler also performed consistently well in the league. In the fall of 2023, Nettavisen named Mettler as the second best player of the 2023 1. divisjon (only behind Samuel Pedro), describing Mettler as a "cut technician with the ability to open up any defence". He was also included in their Team of the Year. As a result, he was bought by Eliteserien club Sandefjord in 2024. While the fee was not disclosed, director of sports Espen Bugge Pettersen stated that Sandefjord spent most of their transfer budget on Mettler and one other player. Personal life He has tattooed which he describes as his life motto, and uses in goal celebrations. A pre-match ritual is listening to music such as Eminem's "Not Afraid".

Kulaib ibn Rabiah

Kulaib ibn Rabi'ah al-Taghlibi (Arabic: كليب بن ربيعة التغلبي) also known as Wa'il al-Taghlibi was a pre-Islamic tribal chief and the first of the Adnanites to become a king over them. Under his rule, the Adnanites gained prominence in the Arabian Peninsula over their Qahtanite counterparts. Kulaib's assassination in 494 CE sparked the Basus War. Biography Family His full lineage is given as: Kulaib, son of Rabiah, son of al-Harith, son of Zuhayr, son of Jashm, son of Bakr, son of Habib, son of 'Amr, son of Ghanim, son of Taghlib ibn Wa'il. Hence, he is from the Taghlib tribe. Kulaib's descent from Adnan is also confirmed by the fact that Taghlib is descended from Adnan.Lecker, M. (2000). "Taghlib b. Wāʾil". In Bearman, P. J.; Bianquis, Th.; Bosworth, C. E.; van Donzel, E. & Heinrichs, W. P. (eds.). The Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second Edition. Volume X: T–U. Leiden: E. J. Brill. pp. 89–93. ISBN 978-90-04-11211-7. Adnan's descent from the biblical patriarch Ishmael hence makes Kulaib amongst the later generation of Ishmaelites.Mubarakpuri, Saifur Rahman (2008). The Sealed Nectar: Biography of the Noble Prophet. Dar-us-Salam Publications. Kulaib was the brother of the famous poet 'Udayy ibn Rabiah, more commonly known as Abu Layla al-Muhalhel. Kulaib also had a son named al-Jarw, who would succeed him in the ruling of the Taghlib. Consolidation of power Kulaib became very dominant amongst the Adnanite tribes living in Najd at some point of time. Under his command, the Adnanite forces were able to defeat the Qahtanite forces of Himyar and Madhhij.Al-Kāmil fi at-Tārikh, ed. Abū l-Fidāʾ ʿAbdallāh al-Qāḍī (11 vols., Beirut: Dār al-kutub al-ʿilmiyya, 1987–2003) Kulaib's reign paved the way for the Adnanites to attain prominence in the Arabian Peninsula, especially in Najd. Death Kulaib ibn Rabi'ah was ultimately murdered by his brother-in-law, Jassas ibn Murrah from the Banu Bakr. According to the traditional narrative, Kulaib had shot down a prized camel belonging to an influential woman of the Banu Bakr; angering Jassas. Jassas then stabbed Kulaib to death. Cause of the Basus War The assassination of Kulaib made the Taghlib oppose their cousin tribe, the Banu Bakr. They fought for forty years, the conflicts between them being known as the Basus War. The Taghlib were originally the victors of the war, but suffered significant losses due to surprise attacks from their rival tribe. Personal life Personality Kulaib had a brash and arrogant demeanor, but his main interest was the protection of his fellow Adnanites. Religion Kulaib might have been an Arab Christian, as the Taghlib were historically a Christian tribe. Safiur Rahman Mubarakpuri reports that despite their conversion to Christianity, the religion and its principles were generally ignored by the Arabs whom had converted to it (except for important fundamental aspects like monotheism and rejection of polytheism). Historicity Time period The death of Kulaib is estimated to be around 494 CE, as the events of the Basus War ended around 534 CE after forty years of fighting. The Dictionary of Arab Poets gives a similar estimation of his death date to around 492 CE. Burial place thumb|A closer look at the tomb attributed to Kulaib in the area of Wadi Khaitan A tomb traditionally attributed to Kulaib is located in Wadi Khaitan between Mecca and Abha. It is located in a valley where many water sources are located. In 2008, the site was almost exhumed after a cable car installation was planned at the site, but fortunately the project was relocated.

Robert D. Peloquin

Robert "Bob" Dolan Peloquin was an American trial lawyer, private intelligence agency director, federal investigator, and pioneer of American law enforcement. He was the first Strike Force Chief in the United States, managing the Buffalo Strike Force. His Strike Force Model used at the Buffalo Strike Force would be replicated in over twenty cities for the next 30 years in the American law enforcement fight against organized crime and racketeering. Peloquin later became the co-founder and President of INTERTEL, a private intelligence agency that was comparable in its investigative function to the abilities of the FBI. He earned the nickname "The Needle," when one of his crucial witnesses ripped their pants just before testifying, and Peloquin was able to sew the pants together with a needle and thread before the witness took the stand. It is not known where Peloquin acquired the needle or the thread. Early life Peloquin grew up in Fall River, Massachusetts, the son of a grocery store owner. In 1948, while studying as a student at Georgetown University, Peloquin met his wife Margaret, who was a student at Dunbarton College of the Holy Cross. In 1951, Peloquin graduated from Georgetown with a bachelor's degree. With his degree, he commissioned as an officer in the United States Navy. He served in the Navy as a Naval Intelligence officer during the Korean War. In 1955, after the war, Peloquin left active service but remained in the United States Navy Reserve. In 1956, Peloquin graduated from Georgetown University Law Center. Career in the Department of Justice In 1957, Peloquin joined the Department of Justice as a trial lawyer. While here, he investigated the 1964 murders of Andrew Goodman, Michael Schwerner, and James Chaney in Mississippi. He investigated mafia control of casinos in The Bahamas. He was also on the Get Hoffa Squad, the squad of top federal investigators and lawyers organized by Bobby Kennedy to pursue Jimmy Hoffa. Buffalo Strike Force In 1966, Peloquin ran the first Strike Force in the United States. The United States Organized Crime Strike Force was first created as the "Buffalo Project," and operated as the first "field force," of the OCRS in Buffalo, New York, and would later be known as the Buffalo Strike Force. The Buffalo Strike Force coordinated the efforts of the OCRS and federal law enforcement agencies. More than 30 people were on this team. While Chief of the Buffalo Strike Force, Peloquin investigated and prosecuted against the Magaddino and Profaci Mafia families. By 1989, inspired by Peloquin's successes in Buffalo, there were 14 Strike Forces across the country operating as independent prosecutorial and investigative teams coordinated against organized crime. The Strike Forces were expanded after this first experiment for the purpose of finding and prosecuting illegal racketeering. Peloquin left the Department of Justice in 1968 to go into the private sector. Entry into private practice Peloquin went to work with of William G. Hundley to form the law firm "Hundley and Peloquin," where Peloquin acted as Associate Council to the National Football League, and advised it on security practices. Hundley and Peloquin were hired by Pete Rozelle to organize grounds security and analyze internal security. It was at this time that the two men were hired by Resorts International in order to purge the mafia from their casinos in the Bahamas. Intertel In 1970, Hundley and Peloquin created the private intelligence agency called INTERTEL (Intelligence International Inc.), bringing the NFL with them as a client. INTERTEL would perform background checks on new players, referees, prospective club owners, and more. However, Hundley's ambition was not as large as Peloquin's. In an interview with the Washington Post, Hundley said: "I don't think Rob will ever be satisfied just being a lawyer. There's too much gunshots in him looking for the big challenge; I wanted to practice law. So we went our own ways." In 1985, the majority of shares in INTERTEL was purchased by Resorts International, and Peloquin became a vice president in the company. INTERTEL had a staff of 50 private detectives - most of them former FBI, CIA, and IRS investigators. Peloquin told the Washington Post: "It's not really that much of a change to come here from the FBI or the IRS. INTERTEL is basically a collection of people who have succeeded reasonably well in government and have a desire for a second career. I get em cheap. I capitalize on government training." Peloquin's client list at INTERTEL included; Howard Hughes ITT Inc. Mohammad Reza Shah. The Monarchy of Spain Detroit Airport Rhode Island Department of Corrections The London Daily Mail New Jersey State Commission of Investigation Some of INTERTEL's employees were involved with the Watergate scandal, and the investigative reporter Les Whitten claims that INTERTEL was hired to spy on Jack Anderson after he published leaked documents from the Nixon campaign. Peloquin disputed the claim made by Les. In 1990, he retired from the company as Chairman of the Bahamas branch of Resorts International. Retirement and later life In 1981, Peloquin retired from the Navy Reserves with the rank of Commander. In 1990, he moved to Plantation, Florida. He was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Washington, D.C. References Category:American spies Category:American law enforcement officials

Kunzea sinclairii

Kunzea sinclairii, also known as the Great Barrier Island kānuka, is a flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae and is endemic to Great Barrier Island in the Auckland Region, New Zealand. Taxonomy and naming Kunzea sinclairii was first formally described in 1899 by British botanist Thomas Kirk, who named the species Leptospermum sinclairii. Kirk named the species after Andrew Sinclair, who he believed had originally discovered the plant. Kirk visited Great Barrier Island in late 1867, during which time he likely collected specimens of the plant. In 1983, Australian botanist Joy Thompson revised the genus Leptospermum, transferring the species within the genus Kunzea. A new combination was published in 1987, making the plant's currently accepted name Kunzea sinclairii. Description Kirk's original type description of the species is as follows: Kirk notes that the species is similar to K. ericoides, but the two species can be told apart due to the larger flowers of K. sinclairii, as well as the "white silky leaves" and because the "ovary is sunk fully one-third below the narrow calyx-tube, while the sepals and petals are narrower, and the style is extremely slender". The species typically grows into a wide-spreading shrub, however on occasion can grow into a tree that can reach as tall as . Hybridisation The species has been known to form a hybrid with K. linearis. Kunzea linearis × Kunzea sinclairii has been found on the western shores of Great Barrier Island. The species has also been known to hybridise with Leptospermum scoparium (mānuka), and with K. robusta. Distribution and habitat This kunzea is endemic to Great Barrier Island in the Auckland Region, New Zealand. It thrives in rocky tors, cliffs and gorges, usually dominating rocky habitats on the island. K. sinclairii is estimated to cover or 0.3% of the total land area of Great Barrier Island. Conservation status Kunzea sinclairii is listed as "threatened – nationally critical" under the New Zealand threat classification series 3.

Margaret Pilkington (Girl Guides)

Margaret Pilkington MBE, JP (b. St Helens, Merseyside, 19 January 1906, d. St Helens, 15 January 1985) was a Girl Guide executive. She volunteered with the Guide International Service (GIS) in post-war Egypt and Greece. For her GIS service she was awarded an MBE in 1948 and the Silver Fish Award, Girl Guiding's highest adult honour, in 1955. Family and personal life Margaret Hope Pilkington was the eldest daughter of Richard Austin Pilkington (1871–1951), chair of Pilkington Glass from 1921 – 1931, and Hope Cozens-Hardy (1877–1947), the daughter of Herbert Cozens-Hardy, 1st Baron Cozens-Hardy. Pilkington had four siblings, including Harry Pilkington and Roger Pilkington. Margaret Pilkington, the curator of Whitworth Art Gallery, was Pilkington's second cousin. Pilkington studied at Cambridge University. During World War II she volunteered on a mobile first aid post. Pilkington died suddenly in January 1985. A service of remembrance was held at Scarisbrick Guide Camp, which Pilkington had been instrumental in setting up in the 1960s. Girl Guides Pilkington, introduced to Guiding in the 1930s by her aunt, Christine Pilkington, held several roles within St Helens and district Girl Guiding, including camp advisor, assistant division commissioner, district commissioner for St Helens N.W. and captain of 1st St Helens Ranger company. In 1939, she led a group of Guides on a trip to Pax Ting, the Girl Guide World Camp in Gödöllő, Hungary. She held two Girl Guide Association (GGA) training diplomas. Guide International Service (GIS) In 1943 Pilkington joined the Guide International Service (GIS) and undertook 18 months of "special training, fitting [her] for difficult work in countries which have been in Nazi occupation." It included a "toughening course" which involved "sleeping in barns, existing without money or kit, [and] being sent to lonely points on the Yorkshire moors in the snow to survive on iron rations." In June 1944, she led the first GIS team of British adult Girl Guide volunteers. The team included Marjorie Stopford, Alison Duke, Marjorie Jarman, Muriel Lees, Georgina Hall, Beryle Gibson, Maud Travers and Rosamund Wansburgh. Their first posting was to Egypt, caring for Greek civilians in a refugee camp. They then moved to Greece where they organised centres to receive and process large numbers of hostages who had recently been released by their captors, The Greek People's Liberation Army. When the team arrived in Greece in February 1945, "Greek Guides, recognising the trefoil (the international symbol of Girl Guides) greeted them enthusiastically and with great relief at their coming." In May 1945, Pilkington and her team were asked to turn a disused orphanage near Athens into a centre for displaced people. It had no water, lights, fuel, sanitation or furniture. On the same day "250 Greek soldiers, thirty-six women (six of them pregnant) and ten babies arrived" at the centre, seeking shelter, food and medical aid. The British Army had provided the centre with two days' worth of rations, and Pilkington's team had "one tin-opener, one knife and one first-aid kit" between them. By December there were 600 displaced people living at the centre. Pilkington and her team ran the centre for a year, until the following May. Pilkington was awarded an MBE in 1948, "for services in Greece under the Guide International Service". Guiding post-GIS Pilkington was selected to represent Great Britain at the 14th World Conference of the WAGGGS, held in Dombass, Norway in 1952, and the 15th World Conference, held in Utrecht, Netherlands in 1954. In 1964, upon hearing that 26 acres of land belonging to West Lancashire's Scarisbrick Hall was for sale, Pilkington "never stopped working" in her efforts to have the land bought by the Guides. £10,000 was raised and Pilkington "almost lived on site to ensure that everything went according to plan." The South West Lancashire Girl Guide County Camp Site was the result, officially opened in May 1967. It remains open in 2024. Roles Pilkington held the following roles within GGA: 1949 – assistant imperial commissioner for training 1950 – imperial commissioner, training Guiders "in the colonies" – she travelled extensively in this role, including to West Africa 1953 – South West Lancashire, assistant county commissioner 1955 – Commonwealth headquarters, advisor for training 1958 – Council of the Girl Guides Association, member 1964 – St Helens Guides, chief commissioner 1967 – St Helens, county camp advisor 1974 to 1980 – Merseyside County, president Other Pilkington served as a magistrate in St Helens. In 1970, she and Dame Ethel Wormald were the first women to serve as Deputy Lieutenants of Lancashire. She was president of her local Save the Children Fund and was "actively involved" in the Deaf Society. She was a practicing Christian and served as Deacon and Elder of her church, president of the Women's Guild and assisted in raising "substantial sums of money" for missionary work. In the 1950s Pilkington worked for local girls' clubs in St Helens. See also Hampton, Janie ''How the Girl Guides won the War" (2011) Pub.

Hayao Miyazaki bibliography

thumb|upright=1|Hayao Miyazaki in 2012 Several books have been written about Hayao Miyazaki, a Japanese animator, filmmaker, manga artist, and co-founder of Studio Ghibli. The books explore Miyazaki's biography and career, particularly his feature films. According to Jeff Lenburg, more papers have been written about Miyazaki than any other Japanese artist. The first English-language book devoted to Miyazaki was Helen McCarthy's Hayao Miyazaki: Master of Japanese Animation in 1999, focusing on the films' narrative and artistic qualities. Many authors focus on Miyazaki's career and films, like Dani Cavallaro and Raz Greenberg, while others examine the themes and religious elements of his works, such as Eriko Ogihara-Schuck and Eric Reinders. Colin Odell and Michelle Le Blanc's 2009 book explores the careers of both Miyazaki and Isao Takahata, and Susan J. Napier's 2018 book Miyazakiworld highlights the ideological connections between Miyazaki's films and personal life. Two books compiling essays, articles, lectures, and outlines written by Miyazaki were published in 1996 and 2008. Books by Hayao Miyazaki Starting Point: 1979–1996 (1996) is a compilation of essays, articles, lectures, and outlines written by—and interviews with—Hayao Miyazaki between 1979 and 1996. First published in hardcover in Japan in 1996, the book features about 90 chapters chronicling Miyazaki's thoughts on animation, the film industry, and his own works, as well as a full-color reprinting of Miyazaki's eight-page manga Kuuchuu de Oshokuji and an afterword written by Isao Takahata. One of Miyazaki's essays became notable for being the sole criticism of manga artist and animator Osamu Tezuka after his death; Miyazaki felt Tezuka's work was "silly", despite his earlier works inspiring a young Miyazaki. Viz Media published a 461-page English translation of the book in hardcover on August 4, 2009, following a delay from July 7. Viz Media editor Nick Mamatas felt the North American release of Miyazaki's film Ponyo in 2009 would increase interest in Miyazaki's career. The book was translated by Frederik L. Schodt and Beth Cary, who visited the Ghibli Museum to better understand Miyazaki. Schodt and Cary sent Mamatas "anywhere between 20 and 100 pages at a time" for editing; he felt the variety of content led to difficulties in maintaining accurate tones while translating and editing. The English translation includes an eleven-page foreword by John Lasseter and its main content is split into five subjects, including people, animation, and film. It was released in a 462-page paperback on April 8, 2014, and a 464-page ebook on March 16, 2021. Los Angeles Timess Charles Solomon described the book as "essential reading for anyone interested in Japanese—or Western—animation". Anime News Networks Theron Martin called it "a must-read for any Miyazaki admirer", praising its insight of Miyazaki's philosophies surrounding life and animation; he found Miyazaki's planning notes the most interesting element. Writing for Animation World Network, Peter Tieryas lauded Miyazaki's refreshing, reflective, and honest candor and his comedic tales of his earlier life. Sight and Sounds Andrew Osmond praised the translated text as "flowing and graceful", though noted possible confusion for English readers due to the unavailability of some of Miyazaki's earlier works outside of Japan, such as Future Boy Conan (1978). Screen Anarchys Ard Vijn praised Miyazaki's writing and humor and the inclusion of his drawings and manga, but lamented the omission of information about Miyazaki's friendly rivalry with animator Mamoru Oshii. Turning Point: 1997–2008 (2008) is a compilation of essays, talks, and illustrations by—and interviews with—Miyazaki between 1997 and 2008. First published by Iwanami Shoten in hardcover in Japan in 2008, the book is largely focused on two of Miyazaki's films from this period: Princess Mononoke (1997) and Spirited Away (2001); his other two, Howl's Moving Castle and Ponyo (2008) are infrequently mentioned. Several of Miyazaki's essays about life are relevant to the films, such as anthropology and medieval history to Princess Mononoke, and the development of children to Spirited Away. Some essays explore Miyazaki's thoughts on writers such as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Robert Westall, filmmakers like Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg, and films like Dark Blue World (2001). Viz Media published a 452-page English translation of the book in hardcover on April 8, 2014, coinciding with the home media release of Miyazaki's 2013 film The Wind Rises. The book was translated by Schodt and Cary. It was released in a 462-page paperback on March 16, 2021, and a 456-page ebook on March 16, 2021. Sight and Sounds Andrew Osmond found the book "illuminating" but "exasperatingly disorganised" and its chapters repetitious. Anime News Networks Rebecca Silverman similarly considered the book repetitious and some of Miyazaki's opinions "uncomfortable ... for western readers" but praised the insight into his works, particularly the revelations about Princess Mononoke. Books about Hayao Miyazaki Hayao Miyazaki: Master of Japanese Animation (1999) Hayao Miyazaki: Master of Japanese Animation is a 1999 biography of Miyazaki written by British author Helen McCarthy. The first English-language book devoted to Miyazaki, the 240-page paperback was published by Stone Bridge Press in September 1999, alongside the North American release of Princess Mononoke the following month. The book features eight pages of color illustrations and 60 black-and-white images, as well as character sketches and story synopses. It explores Miyazaki's childhood and early career, and the Japanese myths that inspired his works, focusing on the films' narrative and artistic qualities. A special edition version was published in the United Kingdom by Optimum Releasing alongside the DVD release of Princess Mononoke, but later withdrawn due to licensing issues. After watching My Neighbor Totoro in 1989, McCarthy began pitching a book about the director to British publishers but felt they were uninterested in a biography about "a single Asian cartoon director only geeks had heard of". Around 1997, animator Jeffrey J. Varab encouraged McCarthy to approach American publishers; she pitched the book to Peter Goodman of Stone Bridge, who accepted. In researching the book, McCarthy visited Studio Ghibli's offices and interviewed several employees, including Miyazaki and producer Toshio Suzuki, over two days in January 1999. The book sold 10,000 copies within two months—a record for Stone Bridge—prompting a reprint in December. The book was called "a very handsome tribute to Miyazaki and his work" by The Japan Timess Donald Richie, and "a real find" by San Francisco Chronicles Peter Stack, who praised McCarthy's love of Miyazaki's work as "infectious" and her prose as "insightful and at times lovely". SF Sites Lisa DuMond lauded McCarthy's research and writing style, declaring her an authority on Miyazaki and his works. Midnight Eyes Tom Mes described McCarthy's writing style as "neither too highbrow nor too populist" and felt the book would "remain the seminal publication in the study of the animator's work". In 2021, McCarthy said she was more likely to write a sequel book about Miyazaki's later career than update the original. The Animé Art of Hayao Miyazaki (2006) The Animé Art of Hayao Miyazaki is a 2006 book by British writer Dani Cavallaro. The book explores Miyazaki's career from his early manga work up to Howl's Moving Castle. The book, intended as "an introduction for audiences ... marginally familiar with Miyazaki's oeuvre", explores his work in the context of other animation and manga works, analyses his films and their blend of traditional and cel-shaded animation, and discusses their collaborative elements and his relationship with Disney. Cavallaro discusses the appeal of Miyazaki's films to Western audiences, and highlights the work of other Studio Ghibli directors, such as Grave of the Fireflies (1988) and The Cat Returns (2002). The 204-page paperback book was published by McFarland & Co. in 2006, alongside the home media release of Howl's Moving Castle in the United States. Choices R. D. Sears lauded Cavallaro's research as "thorough and painstaking" for its development of context, history, and nuances, though found her writing occasionally "ponderous" and the illustrations "inadequate". California Bookwatch described it as "an excellent scholarly analysis" of Miyazaki's work, and Anime.coms Brian Cirulnick called it "an excellent book and a worthy addition to any anime fan's library". Cavallaro wrote two more books about Miyazaki, published by McFarland: The Late Works of Hayao Miyazaki: A Critical Study, 2004–2013 (2014), discussing his directorial and writing work on feature and short films; and Hayao Miyazaki's World Picture (2015), examining five themes in Miyazaki's works. Studio Ghibli: The Films of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata (2009) Studio Ghibli: The Films of Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata is a 2009 book by Colin Odell and Michelle Le Blanc. The authors—a married writing duo—spent several months researching for the book and traveled to Japan, where they visited the Ghibli Museum and watched Ponyo before its Western release. The book's original draft was "twice as long as it should have been". Odell and Le Blanc aimed the book at a wider audience as opposed to purely academics. The 160-page paperback was published on 26 March 2009 by Kamera Books, with eight pages of colour images. Library Journals Terry Hong called the book "an excellent overview" of Studio Ghibli, and Film Irelands Michiko Yamada wrote it was "a must-have handbook for the Ghibli lover". Miyazaki's Animism Abroad: The Reception of Japanese Religious Themes by American and German Audiences (2014) Miyazaki's Animism Abroad: The Reception of Japanese Religious Themes by American and German Audiences is a 2014 book by Eriko Ogihara-Schuck. The 240-page book was published by McFarland & Co. in paperback and ebook formats. It is split into four sections analysing the themes in Miyazaki's works and examines the reception of his films in Germany and North America. Ogihara-Schuck considers the regional perceptions of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Spirited Away, and the manner in which they were adapted to local audiences. The book evolved from Ogihara-Schuck's PhD dissertation and some chapters were previously published in other books in 2010 and 2011. In the Japanese Journal of Religious Studies, Francisco J. López Rodríguez lauded Ogihara-Schuck's study of contemporary animism in understanding Miyazaki's work and religious dissemination in media, but found some of her claims unconvincing. ImageTexTs Michael Hale praised Ogihara-Schuck's writing and scholarship for being engaging and accessible while remaining primarily academic, noting that "fans of Miyazaki from all circles should give the work a chance". Conversely, All the Animes Andrew Osmond found most chapters "more myopic than enlightening", though found one particularly fascinating for readers interested in intercultural adaptation. The Moral Narratives of Hayao Miyazaki (2016) The Moral Narratives of Hayao Miyazaki is a 2016 book by Eric Reinders. Published by McFarland & Co., the 222-page book analyses themes, morals, and religious elements in Miyazaki's films. Greenberg called it "an interesting but flawed book", enjoying its deeper analysis of religion and mythology but criticizing Reinders's ignorance of the film's production context. ImageTexTs Kevin Cooley applauded the book's unique concept but found its execution flawed and felt Reinders's comparisons of Miyazaki and J. R. R. Tolkien were unclear. Hayao Miyazaki: Exploring the Early Work of Japan's Greatest Animator (2018) Hayao Miyazaki: Exploring the Early Work of Japan's Greatest Animator is a 2018 book by Israeli writer Raz Greenberg. Its six chapters explore Miyazaki's early career from 1963 to 1985, including the artists and locations that inspired him. The book observes that Miyazaki's works evolved from optimism in the 1980s to darker narratives in the 1990s and 2000s. Greenberg was inspired to write the book as he felt Miyazaki's earlier works were largely unexplored. His work on the book was delayed by other projects, such as his PhD thesis. The 169-page book was published in 2018 by Bloomsbury Publishing as part of its Animation: Key Films/Filmmakers series, alongside three other books about Princess Mononoke, Toy Story (1995), and animator Norman McLaren. Screens Malcolm Cook lauded Bloomberg's series for its contribution to animation studies. Choices John A. Lent praised Greenberg's analysis of Miyazaki's works and descriptions of his inspirations, though felt the book's detailed synopses limited its analyses. Animations Marco Bellano praised the book's exploration of Miyazaki's largely undiscussed early work, providing context for his later films. He found Greenberg's personality made the book "accessible and pleasant to read" and felt it would be an appropriate tool in animation history studies. Writing for the International Institute for Asian Studies, Mari Nakamura called the book "a must-read" for those interested in Miyazaki, anime, and animation studies, but felt additional acknowledgement of primary and scholarly sources would have better contextualized Miyazaki's work. Strange Horizonss Ashley S. Moser applauded Greenberg's research but felt his writing was often unsupported, unexplained, and uncertain. All the Animes Andrew Osmond disagreed with several of Greenberg's points, such as his descriptions of characters and proclamation of Miyazaki's "influences" without sourcing the claims, and lamented the lack of analysis of Takahata's works. Miyazakiworld: A Life in Art (2018) Miyazakiworld: A Life in Art is a 2018 book by American writer Susan J. Napier. Its sixteen chapters explore Miyazaki's life and films: the first three chronologically discuss his early life and introduction to animation, and the following thirteen examine the impact of his life experiences on his work. Napier discusses themes such as environmentalism, nostalgia, and women empowerment, and frequently references Miyazaki's relationship with his mother, especially in relation to My Neighbor Totoro and The Wind Rises. The book is one of few to analyse his manga Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. The title, Miyazakiworld, refers to "the immersive animated realm" of Miyazaki's films, asserting they exist within a single universe rooted in helpless experiences of Miyazaki's childhood and an agenda of environmentalism, family, and humanism. Napier argues Miyazaki is an auteur, despite skepticism from others that an animator cannot hold such a label. She discovered Miyazaki's work while writing a book about anime and felt a full study was overdue. Napier interviewed Miyazaki for the book in 2013. The 344-page hardcover and digital book was published by Yale University Press on September 4, 2018, and the paperback on November 19, 2019. In The Journal of Japanese Studies, animation scholar Rayna Denison described Miyazakiworld as "a significant step forward in the nascent field of anime studies", praising Napier's expertise, writing style, and exploration of controversial elements of Miyazaki's works. Publishers Weekly lauded the balance of biography and analysis, calling the book "the labor of both a consummate scholar and an avid fan". CINEJ Cinema Journals Ayçin Ergin Akdaş felt Napier's development of ideas throughout each chapter made the book easier to read and recommended that it be incorporated into educational programs, and Shiro Yoshioka in The Journal of Asian Studies found Napier's avoidance of technical jargon made it approachable to general readers while maintaining academic depth, a sentiment echoed by other reviewers. Reactors Leah Schnelbach praised Napier's exploration on environmental and political themes, and her analysis of Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle "as meta-commentaries on Studio Ghibli itself". Shane Healy of the Tokyo Weekender felt the work offered an informative view into Miyazaki's filmography akin to "taking a peek inside his head". Hyperallergics Angelica Frey called the book "an essential work in anime scholarship especially in the West" but sought deeper discussion of Miyazaki's artistic influences. The University Bookmans Titus Techera commended Napier's thorough research but felt the book did not explain Miyazaki's reverence in Japan. The Washington Posts Mark Jenkins found some words overused and felt the book did not justify its argument of a "unified 'Miyazakiworld. Monumenta Nipponicas Mihaela Mihailova noted occasional contradictions in the book but otherwise lauded Napier's versatility and depth of research. In Science Fiction Studies, Jonathan Clements enjoyed Napier's nuance and balance of information and analysis but noted some discrepancies in her conclusions and incomprehensiveness in omitting Miyazaki's manga and television work. Times Literary Supplements Claire Kohda Hazelton commended the incorporation of archival interviews with Miyazaki, though she felt the omission of contextualizing his work's acceptances in the Western world was a "missed opportunity". Other books is a 2002 biography by Japanese writer and pop culture specialist Mitsunari Ōizumi. One of the earliest biographies about Miyazaki, the book focuses on his childhood and career with little information about his personal life. is a 2011 book by Jeremy Mark Robinson, published by Crescent Moon Publishing. In addition to discussing Miyazaki's work, the book explores his themes and influences, unmade films, and characters, as well as chapters on Takahata's work and other Japanese animation. A 664-page revised edition was published in paperback and hardcover with illustrations. is a 2012 book by Jeff Lenburg. The 120-page hardcover book was published by Chelsea House in February 2012. "War and Peace" in Studio Ghibli Films: Director Hayao Miyazaki's Messages for World Peace is a 2014 book by Daisuke Akimono. Published by Lambert Academic Publishing, the book examines the evolution of political themes in Miyazaki's films. Raz Greenberg enjoyed Akimono's analysis but felt its structure read like a thesis manuscript. () is a 2018 book by French writer Gael Berton. Published by Third Éditions in 2018 in French and in 2020 in English, the book chronicles Miyazaki's career. All the Animes Shelley Pallis felt the book lacked uniqueness among previous works, and identified several errors and omissions.

No. 130 Air Engineering Depot

The Pakistan Air Force's No. 130 Air Engineering Depot (130th AED) is an MRO facility for Lockheed C-130s located in Rawalpindi at PAF Base Nur Khan. History Ever since the induction of the first Lockheed C-130 in the air force in 1963, the PAF could undertake Inspect Repair As Necessary (IRAN) level maintenance for the planes. As major maintenance and repair establishments weren't available for the Hercules in Pakistan, PAF had to fly them to aerospace facilities in other countries like Indonesia (PTDI), Singapore (ST Aerospace), Portugal (OGMA), Brazil (Embraer) etc. which would cost $5 Million per aircraft not to mention the prolonged crew & aircraft outstation time. As a result, the No. 130 Air Engineering Depot was established at PAF Base Chaklala in 1993 with a single dock to provide local MRO services to Pakistan's C-130 fleet and lessen foreign dependence. In 2001, No. 130 AED started undertaking Outer Wing Improvement Programs (OWIP) with Messrs aerostructures, Australia also partnering in the later years. The facility also has the capability to undertake Corrosion Prevention Control Program and Aircraft Upholstery Refurbishment. Over the years the complex has received major upgrades to enhance it's capabilities. In 2009, a second PDM hangar was constructed and working docks increased to two in order to boost production. Laser Tracker equipment was acquired in 2010 and departments of Structural Repair Design Office (SRDO) and Configuration Management Cell (CMC) were established in order to provide guidelines for major structure repair with proper record keeping of aircraft configurations. The complex also raised a new Logistics squadron in 2011. The facility can generally overhaul 6 C-130s per year. As of 2022, the depot has worked on 62 Pakistani C-130s along with 2 C-130s of Nigeria and 2 Sri Lankan C-130Ks. Achievements On 15 March 2017, the Depot held a ceremony to commemorate the roll out of the 50th 50th Periodic Depot Maintenance (PDM) on a C-130. The C-130B nicknamed "The Old Man" by PAF airmen was one of the oldest flying C-130s which was built in 1958.

2024–25 Thai League 3 Northern Region

The 2024–25 Thai League 3 Northern Region is part of the 2024–25 Thai League 3 Regional Stage, consisting of 11 clubs located across the northern region of Thailand, including some areas in the upper parts of the central and western regions. The season will commence on 14 September 2024, with clubs competing in a round-robin format featuring home-and-away matches. The Regional Stage will conclude on TBD, at which point the top two clubs will advance to the National Championship Stage, while the bottom-placed club will face relegation to the Thailand Semi-pro League for the following season. This stage showcases the spirit of football in Thailand's highlands, where clubs represent the cultural and historical richness of the northern provinces. Seasonal Changes Relegation from Thai League 2 Chiangmai was relegated to Thai League 3 due to failing to meet club licensing standards. The club will now compete in the Northern Region for the 2024–25 season, bringing higher-level competition. Promotion from Thailand Semi-pro League Chattrakan City earned promotion from the Thailand Semi-pro League and joined the Northern Region, adding fresh competition for this season. Club licensing failures Kongkrailas United and Rongseemaechaithanachotiwat Phayao, despite meeting competitive criteria, were relegated to the Thailand Semi-pro League after failing to comply with licensing requirements. This has allowed Nakhon Sawan See Khwae City, the last-place club in the 2023–24 season, to remain in Thai League 3. Club name and logo changes Phitsanulok Unity revamped its identity, changing its logo from a field rat to a fighting cock, symbolizing King Naresuan the Great's legendary fighting cock. Uttaradit Saksiam rebranded as TPF Uttaradit, adopting a completely new logo while keeping the image of Phraya Phichai, a historical local hero.

Setting Hen Butte

Setting Hen Butte is a summit in San Juan County, Utah, United States. Description Setting Hen Butte is situated west of Bluff, Utah, in the Valley of the Gods, on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management.Valley of the Gods, Bureau of Land Management, Retrieved 2024-08-31. Precipitation runoff from this iconic landform's slopes drains to the San Juan River via Lime Creek. Access to the butte is via the 17-mile Valley of the Gods Road which passes east of this butte. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above the surrounding terrain in 0.1 mile (0.16 km). This landform's descriptive toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. It is also known as "The Anvil" by some rock climbers. Setting Hen Butte should not be confused with another butte named Setting Hen within the same county but further southwest at Monument Valley. Geology Setting Hen Butte is composed of two principal strata of the Cutler Formation. The bottom layer is slope-forming Halgaito Formation and the upper stratum is cliff-forming Cedar Mesa Sandstone.Robert Brett O'Sullivan, Geology of the Cedar Mesa-Boundary Butte Area, San Juan County, Utah, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1965, p. 36. Cedar Mesa Sandstone is the remains of coastal sand dunes deposited about 270 to 300 million years ago, during the Wolfcampian (early Permian). The buttes of Valley of the Gods are the result of the Halgaito Formation being more easily eroded than the overlaying sandstone. The valley floor is Honaker Trail Formation.Dan S. Chaney, The Carboniferous-Permian Transition, New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, 2013, p. 64. Climate Spring and fall are the most favorable seasons to visit Setting Hen Butte. According to the Köppen climate classification system, it is located in a cold semi-arid climate zone with cold winters and hot summers. Summers highs rarely exceed . Summer nights are comfortably cool, and temperatures drop quickly after sunset. Winters are cold, but daytime highs are usually above freezing. Winter temperatures below are uncommon, though possible. This desert climate receives less than of annual rainfall, and snowfall is generally light during the winter.

Pseudocyphellaria hirsuta

Pseudocyphellaria hirsuta is a species of foliose lichen in the family Peltigeraceae. First described in 1835, it has undergone several taxonomic revisions over nearly two centuries. The lichen forms a flat, leaf-like structure (thallus) that can grow up to 27 cm in diameter, typically appearing grey or brown and covered in fine hairs. It is characterised by small pore-like structures called pseudocyphellae on its lower surface, which can be yellow or, less commonly, white. P. hirsuta grows mainly on trees in forested areas, particularly those dominated by southern beech (Nothofagus) species, but can also be found on rocks, soil, and stumps. The species is widely distributed in Argentina and Chile, from central regions to Tierra del Fuego, and has been observed in various forest types and elevations. Taxonomy Pseudocyphellaria hirsuta has a complex taxonomic history that spans nearly two centuries. The species was first described as Sticta hirsuta by Camille Montagne in 1835, based on specimens collected by D. Bertero in Chile in 1828. The species underwent several taxonomic revisions over the years. In 1861, William Nylander transferred it to the (now historical) genus Stictina, recognising its distinctive blue-green . This classification was widely used for several decades. However, the current accepted name, Pseudocyphellaria hirsuta, was proposed by Gustaf Oskar Andersson Malme in 1899 and has since been adopted by most modern lichenologists. The taxonomic journey of P. hirsuta was not without confusion. Joseph Hooker in 1847 and briefly Nylander in 1860 considered it a synonym of Sticta obvoluta, primarily due to the presence of yellow pseudocyphellae. This error was soon corrected by Nylander himself. Additionally, Franz Meyen and Julius von Flotow in 1843 erroneously listed an undescribed species, Sticta pilosa, as a synonym of S. hirsuta, further complicating its taxonomic history. In 1936, Veli Räsänen attempted to transfer the species to the genus Cyanisticta, but this classification did not gain widespread acceptance among lichenologists. A form, P. hirsuta f. leucosticta, was proposed by Elke Mackenzie in 1955 to describe individuals with white instead of yellow pseudocyphellae. However, due to the variable nature of pigment deposition in this species, this subspecific designation was not widely used in later treatments. In 2014, Bibiana Moncada proposed a transfer to the genus Parmostictina, but this genus name has been rejected against Pseudocyphellaria and is considered synonymous with that genus. Description Pseudocyphellaria hirsuta is a foliose (leafy) lichen with a thallus that ranges from roughly circular to irregular in shape, typically measuring between 4 and 10 cm in diameter, though it can grow as large as 27 cm. The thallus attaches centrally to like twigs, bark, rocks, and soil, with its remaining free at the margins. These lobes are broadly rounded and can vary in size from 2 to 15 mm in diameter. The margins of the lobes are mostly smooth, slightly sinuous or shallowly folded, and can occasionally bear small, leaf-like structures known as . The lower surface of the thallus is often thickened and may have ridges or be slightly rolled, with a dense covering of hair-like structures. The upper surface of the thallus is typically dull grey to bluish-grey when wet, and shifts to pale buff-grey, brown, or olive when dry. It can be slightly wrinkled or pitted and is usually covered in short to long, silky white hairs. In some areas, these hairs are more sparse or only found at the margins, while in other parts, the surface may be almost smooth except at the edges. The beneath the hairs is somewhat leathery and can sometimes appear roughened. Pseudocyphellaria hirsuta does not produce soredia, isidia, or , which are common reproductive or structural features in other lichen species. Phyllidia are present occasionally, particularly along the margins, where they are irregular and densely covered in hairs. The medulla, or inner tissue layer, is white. The lower surface of the thallus is often wrinkled, with a pale buff to brownish colouration. It is typically covered in a soft, velvety layer of , a dense mat of fine hairs, which is whitish at the edges and browner towards the centre. Scattered across this surface are small, yellow structures called pseudocyphellae, which are slightly sunken and appear as tiny warts without a defined border. thumb|Found on a partially sun-exposed boulder in open, relatively high, dry, Nothofagus forest in Chile The apothecia (fruiting bodies) are usually found along the edges or just inside the margins of the thallus. These structures are relatively prominent and, at maturity, sit on small stalks, with the base of the stalk forming a distinct concavity on the lower surface. They range from 0.5 to 8 mm in diameter, occasionally reaching up to 12 mm. The margins of the apothecia are densely hairy and often curl inwards, obscuring the at first, though they may become less hairy with age. The disc itself starts concave but flattens over time, with a pale to dark red-brown colour. The (a rim around the disc) is also densely hairy, matching the colour of the thallus, and may have a rough, warty texture. In terms of anatomy, the thallus is 150 to 285 μm thick, with the upper cortex measuring 28 to 38 μm thick. The , where the lichen's cyanobacteria partner Nostoc resides, is 28 to 56 μm thick. The medulla is 70 to 150 μm thick, and the lower cortex is 28 to 40 μm thick, consisting of several rows of cells. The apothecia's structure is similar to the thallus, with the exciple containing the photobiont. The hymenium, where the spores are produced, is 70 to 80 μm tall and is topped with an that dissolves in potassium hydroxide solution (K). The spores themselves are 25 to 36 μm long and 5.5 to 9.0 μm wide, with one to three septa. Chemically, Pseudocyphellaria hirsuta contains calycin, pulvinic acid, and pulvinic dilactone. However, some specimens that lack these pigments do not show any detectable chemical compounds when analysed using thin-layer chromatography. Similar species The Chilean endemic Pseudocyphellaria dasyphyllidia shares similarities with P. hirsuta, but can be distinguished by its narrower, more finely divided lobes, true phyllidia on margins and surfaces, and generally smaller apothecia. P. dasyphyllidia is typically less hairy, with hairs restricted to lobe margins and phyllidia, and has more prominent yellow pseudocyphellae associated with these structures. It produces smaller spores and is better adapted to drier, sunnier environments compared to P. hirsuta, which prefers humid, lower-altitude forests. However, there is some overlap in their ecological preferences, as P. hirsuta can occasionally be found in similar dry and sunny habitats. Habitat and distribution Pseudocyphellaria hirsuta is primarily found in southern South America, with specimens recorded from Argentina and Chile. The species has a wide distribution within these countries, ranging from central Chile to Tierra del Fuego and Staten Island in Argentina. In Argentina, P. hirsuta has been collected from several provinces, including Neuquén, Río Negro, Chubut, and Tierra del Fuego. In Chile, it has been found in various locations from Valparaíso Province in the north to Magallanes Province in the south, including the island of Chiloé. This lichen species shows a preference for forested habitats, particularly those dominated by Nothofagus species. It has been frequently collected from Nothofagus dombeyi, N. obliqua, and N. pumilio. Other host trees include Araucaria, Austrocedrus, and Fuchsia magellanica. P. hirsuta has also been found growing on Berberis ilicifolia, particularly in the southernmost parts of its range. While primarily an epiphytic species growing on tree bark, P. hirsuta has also been observed growing on rocks, soil, and stumps, especially in deforested areas or on rocky, forestless slopes. It occurs in various forest types, including Araucaria-Nothofagus mixed forests and Austrocedrus forests. The species has been collected at various elevations, from coastal areas to mountainous regions. Two forms of P. hirsuta have been documented: one with yellow pseudocyphellae, which appears to be more common, and another with white pseudocyphellae, which has been collected less frequently but from similar habitats and regions.

Andalas derby

The Andalas derby (Indonesian: Derbi Andalas), also known as the Super Sumatra derby (Indonesian: Derbi Super Sumatera), is the name given to inter-city rivalry between Indonesian professional football clubs Semen Padang and Sriwijaya. Semen Padang was founded in 1980 in Padang, West Sumatra, while Sriwijaya is based in Palembang, South Sumatra since it was founded in 2004. “Andalas” is another name for Sumatra, and is used to refer the island. Origin Both teams were formed in different decades, Semen Padang was formed on 30 November 1980 and plays its home games at the Gelora Haji Agus Salim Stadium in Padang – while Sriwijaya was only formed almost 25 years later, on 23 October 2004, after the South Sumatra government bought the bankrupt North Jakarta club Persijatim Solo FC and moved its home ground to the Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium in Palembang. 2010–11 Indonesia Super League was the first competitive league season beetwen the two after Semen Padang were promoted from the second division the previous season – while Sriwijaya were then one of the best teams in the Indonesian football, becoming the first and only club in Indonesia to ever achieve the double in 2008, and becoming first and only club to ever win the Copa Indonesia in three consecutive seasons from 2008 to 2010. The first match between the two teams in the competition took place on 2 February 2011 at Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium. Sriwijaya managed to score two goals from Keith "Kayamba" Gumbs in the 24th minute and Rudi Widodo in the 32nd minute. After Sriwijaya's lead, the match became increasingly heated with Saktiawan Sinaga getting a straight red card just before halftime and forcing Semen Padang to play with 10 men. The home team managed to score 3 more goals after the incident through Budi Sudarsono's brace in the 40th and 82nd minutes and Korinus Fingkrew's goal in the 79th minute. The match ended with a 5–0 win for Sriwijaya – also becoming Semen Padang's biggest defeat that season. Home grounds Sriwijaya plays its home games at the 23,000-capacity Gelora Sriwijaya Stadium, located in the Jakabaring Sport City complex, Palembang, South Sumatra since its establishment in 2004.

List of chronic pain syndromes

thumb|348x348px|Explanatory model of chronic pain. Chronic pain is defined as reoccurring or persistent pain that lasts for over 3 months. It continues past normal healing times and therefore does not have the same function as acute pain. Acute pain serves to signal the body that there is a threat so that the body can avoid future danger. Chronic pain on the other hand does not serve this purpose. The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) defines pain as "An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage". Chronic pain is considered a syndrome because of the associated symptoms that develop in those experiencing chronic pain. Chronic pain is a prevalent condition that affects approximately 20% of people and accounts for 15-20% of visits to a physician. Pain can be categorized according to its location, cause, or the anatomical system in which it affects. Pain can also defy these classifications which makes it difficult to classify chronic pain. In order to create a classification system for chronic pain, the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) collaborated with the World Health Organization (WHO) to form a Task Force for the Classification of Chronic Pain. The IASP Task Force was made up of those who were experts in pain and developed a new model to classify chronic pain for the ICD-11. The IASP Task Force emphasized the cause of pain, underlying mechanisms and body sites. This classification system differentiates chronic primary pain from chronic secondary pain, incorporates already existing diagnosis, and further characterizes chronic pain syndromes. The ICD-11 category for chronic pain includes the most common types of chronic pain, chronic primary pain, chronic cancer pain, chronic posttraumatic and postsurgical pain, chronic neuropathic pain, chronic secondary headache and orofacial pain, chronic secondary visceral pain, and chronic secondary musculoskeletal pain. There can also be significant overlap between several categories. Chronic primary pain Chronic primary pain is pain that affects one or more anatomical sites, reoccurs or persists for more than three months, causes emotional distress or functional disability and can't be better explained by another chronic pain condition. Emotional distress can be expressed in a number of ways such as frustration, anxiety, depression, demoralization and anger. Functional disability encompasses a large range of difficulties such as difficulties at work, difficulties with sleeping, or difficulties with social activities. Chronic primary pain can affect any body system or site and can also be widespread. Conditions within this category are further classified into chronic widespread pain, complex regional pain syndromes, chronic primary headache and orofacial pain, chronic primary visceral pain, and chronic primary musculoskeletal pain. Chronic widespread pain Chronic widespread pain is defined as diffuse musculoskeletal pain affecting at least three to four body regions and in at least three or more body quadrants and axial skeleton. Body quadrants are defined as upper, lower, left and right sides of the body. Chronic widespread pain cannot be attributed to nociceptive process in these areas. Fibromyalgia Myofascial pain syndrome Complex regional pain syndromes thumb|A 60 years old male patient suffering from type I CRPS, majorly caused by left tibial fracture. Picture taken after 6 months of the injury. Complex regional pain syndrome is characterized by pain that is distributed regionally, usually starts in an extremity distally, occurs after a trauma, and the pain is disproportionate in severity or duration compared to the expected course of the trauma. Complex regional pain syndrome is divided into two types, type 2 requires evidence of peripheral nerve injury, while type 1 does not. Complex regional pain syndrome type I Complex regional pain syndrome type II Chronic primary headache and orofacial pain Chronic primary headache or orofacial pain is orofacial pain or headache that persists for longer than three months and occurs at least 15 days a month. When untreated the pain lasts at least two hours or can occur as many shorter episodes of pain throughout the day. Chronic migraine Chronic tension-type headache Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias Chronic temporomandibular disorder Chronic burning mouth pain Chronic primary orofacial pain Chronic primary visceral pain Chronic primary visceral pain occurs in the head or neck viscera of the digestive system; the abdominal area from viscera of the digestive system, such as IBS; the thoracic region, such as non-cardiac chest pain; and the pelvic area from the involvement of viscera of the urinary, digestive, and genital systems, such as chronic pelvic pain. Visceral pain is caused by nociceptor activation in pelvic, thoracic or abdominal organs. Chronic primary chest pain syndrome Chronic primary epigastric pain syndrome Irritable bowel syndrome Chronic primary abdominal pain syndrome Chronic primary bladder pain syndrome Chronic primary pelvic pain syndrome Chronic primary musculoskeletal pain Chronic primary musculoskeletal pain affects the joints, muscles, bones, or tendons. Chronic primary musculoskeletal pain syndromes are classified by the location in which they affect. Chronic primary low back pain Chronic primary cervical pain Chronic primary thoracic pain Chronic primary limb pain Chronic secondary pain Chronic secondary pain syndromes are caused by other medical conditions. Pain may initially be a symptom of a disease however it can also persist after successful treatment of the underlying disorder. Chronic secondary pain can be further categorized into chronic cancer-related pain, chronic postsurgical or posttraumatic pain, chronic neuropathic pain, chronic secondary headache or orofacial pain, chronic secondary visceral pain, and chronic secondary musculoskeletal pain. Chronic cancer-related pain Pain is the most common symptom of cancer at the time of diagnosis. Cancer-related pain can be caused by metastases, the tumour itself, inflamed or eroding bone viscera or nerves, or pain related to cancer treatments. The term “cancer-related pain” only indicates that pain is related to cancer and doesn't imply the exact cause of the pain. Chronic cancer pain Chronic cancer pain is caused by metastases or primary cancer. It has neuropathic and inflammatory mechanisms that are caused by how tissue responds to tumours or metastases. Neuropathic pain is caused by damage to the somatosensory nervous system. Signs and symptoms of neuropathic pain include allodynia (pain caused by non-painful stimuli), hyperalgesia (an increase in pain perception due to painful stimuli), and paresthesia (abnormal sensations such as needle bites, tingling, itching, decreased or loss of sensitivity). Chronic visceral cancer pain Chronic bone cancer pain Chronic neuropathic cancer pain Chronic post cancer treatment pain Cancer treatments can also contribute to chronic pain. Cancer treatments include chemotherapy, surgery, and radiotherapy, which are known to cause chronic pain. Chronic post cancer medicine pain Chronic painful chemotherapy-induced polyneuropathy Chronic post radiotherapy pain Chronic painful radiation-induced neuropathy Chronic postcancer surgery pain Chronic postsurgical or posttraumatic pain Chronic postsurgical or posttraumatic pain is pain that develops of becomes more severe following surgery or an injury. Chronic postsurgical or posttraumatic pain continues past the expected timeframe for healing (typically three months). The pain is localized to the site of injury or surgery. Chronic post traumatic pain thumb|Hyperextension and hyperflexion in whiplash injury. Chronic post traumatic pain is pain that develops are worsens after an injury. The pain is either localized to the injured region, referred to a dermatomal region, or innervation territory of the nerves in the area. Chronic pain after burns injury Chronic whiplash injury associated pain Chronic pain after musculoskeletal injury Chronic pain after peripheral nerve injury or chronic pain after central nervous system injury Chronic postsurgical pain Chronic postsurgical pain refers to pain that develops or becomes more severe after a surgical procedure. Chronic pain after spinal surgery Chronic pain after herniotomy Chronic pain after hysterectomy Chronic pain after amputation Chronic pain after thoracotomy Chronic pain after breast surgery Chronic pain after arthroplasty Chronic neuropathic pain Chronic neuropathic pain is caused by a disease or lesion of the somatosensory nervous system. Chronic neuropathic pain requires a history of nervous system injury or disease as well as a distribution of pain that makes sense in the context of neuroanatomy. Chronic central neuropathic pain Chronic central neuropathic pain is caused by a lesion or disease of the central somatosensory nervous system. Chronic central neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury Chronic central neuropathic pain associated with brain injury Chronic central post stroke pain Chronic central neuropathic pain associated with multiple sclerosis Chronic peripheral neuropathic pain Chronic central neuropathic pain is caused by a lesion or disease of the peripheral somatosensory nervous system.

Chronic visceral pain from mechanical factors thumb|Bronchial stenosis after surgery in a patient with complete disruption of the right bronchus. Chronic visceral pain from mechanical factors is caused by external compression of internal organs, internal organ traction involving ligaments and vessels, or internal obstructions, such as stones or stenosis, which can block hollow viscera and cause dilation above the obstruction. Chronic visceral pain from mechanical factors in the head or neck region Chronic visceral pain from mechanical factors in the thoracic region Chronic visceral pain from mechanical factors in the abdominal region Chronic visceral pain from mechanical factors in the pelvic region Chronic visceral pain from vascular mechanisms Chronic visceral pain from vascular mechanisms is caused by changes in the arterial or venous blood vessels that supply blood to the viscera of the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities and the head or neck region. It can also be caused by a disorder of the vascular system that causes pain in other areas of the body. Chronic visceral pain from vascular mechanisms in the head or neck region Chronic visceral pain from vascular mechanisms in the thoracic region Chronic visceral pain from vascular mechanisms in the abdominal region Chronic visceral pain from vascular mechanisms in the pelvic region Chronic visceral pain from persistent inflammation Chronic visceral pain from persistent inflammation is pain caused by chronic inflammation of internal organs. This inflammation can be caused by noninfectious, infectious, or autoimmune mechanisms. Chronic visceral pain from persistent inflammation in the head or neck region Chronic visceral pain from persistent inflammation in the thoracic region Chronic visceral pain from persistent inflammation in the abdominal region Chronic visceral pain from persistent inflammation in the pelvic region Chronic secondary musculoskeletal pain Chronic secondary musculoskeletal pain can be caused by a variety of conditions, including chronic nociception in the vertebral column, joints, bones, muscles, tendons, and soft tissues, as well as deep somatic lesions. Chronic secondary musculoskeletal pain from persistent inflammation thumb|Tophaceous gout affecting the right great toe and finger interphalangeal joints. One of the main causes of many musculoskeletal disorders is inflammation. Similarly, one of the main causes of persistent musculoskeletal pain is ongoing inflammation. Inflammation-related pain symptoms include heightened sensitivity to stimuli in the afflicted area. In rheumatological disorders with inflammation as the principal pathophysiological mechanism, chronic secondary musculoskeletal pain can be the main symptom.

Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above the surrounding terrain in 0.1 mile (0.16 km). This landform's toponym has been officially adopted as Rooster Butte by the United States Board on Geographic Names, however it is also known as "Petard Tower" and "Prairie Dog on a Mound" by some rock climbers and locals.Cameron Burns, Selected Climbs in the Desert Southwest: Colorado and Utah, The Mountaineers Books, 1999, , p. 153. The first ascent of the summit was made on May 23, 1977, by George Hurley and Dave Rearick.First Ascent Timeline, deserttowersbook.com, Retrieved 2024-08-31. Geology Rooster Butte is composed of two principal strata of the Cutler Formation. The bottom layer is slope-forming Halgaito Formation and the upper stratum is cliff-forming Cedar Mesa Sandstone.Robert Brett O'Sullivan, Geology of the Cedar Mesa-Boundary Butte Area, San Juan County, Utah, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1965, p. 34. Cedar Mesa Sandstone is the remains of coastal sand dunes deposited about 270 to 300 million years ago, during the Wolfcampian (early Permian). The buttes of Valley of the Gods are the result of the Halgaito Formation being more easily eroded than the overlaying sandstone. The valley floor is Honaker Trail Formation.Dan S. Chaney, The Carboniferous-Permian Transition, New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, 2013, p. 64. Climate Spring and fall are the most favorable seasons to visit Rooster Butte. According to the Köppen climate classification system, it is located in a cold semi-arid climate zone with cold winters and hot summers. Summers highs rarely exceed . Summer nights are comfortably cool, and temperatures drop quickly after sunset. Winters are cold, but daytime highs are usually above freezing. Winter temperatures below are uncommon, though possible. This desert climate receives less than of annual rainfall, and snowfall is generally light during the winter.

Henry Kailimai

Henry K. Kailimai Sr. (1882 – 7 February 1948) was a Hawaiian musician, composer, and bandleader who first received attention after his band performed at the Panama–Pacific International Exposition in 1915, becoming among the first musicians to showcase Hawaiian music to mainland American audiences on a large scale. His song "On the Beach at Waikiki", which he performed at the exposition, found commercial success in the mainland United States, becoming one of the first Hawaiian songs to do so. His music attracted the attention of business magnate Henry Ford, who hired Kailimai and his group as official musicians for the Ford Motor Company. Kailimai moved to Detroit in order to fill the role, where he lived until his death in 1948. Early life Kailimai was born in 1882, to William Henry and Kaaipelana Kailimai. He was born on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. In 1902, Kailimai married Louisa Opu; they had eight children, many of whom eventually became accomplished musicians themselves. He was a Mormon, and served as an organist at his church. He was a protege of ukulele virtuoso Ernest Kaʻai. Career Panama–Pacific International Exposition Prior to the 1915 Panama–Pacific International Exposition, which was to be held in San Francisco, the organizers of the fair sought to include a Hawaiian building culturally representative of the territory, as had been done at the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition in 1905 and the Alaska–Yukon–Pacific Exposition in 1909. In the leadup to the exposition in 1914, there was competition between multiple Hawaiian string bands, each vying for a contract to perform at the exposition. As a result of the competition, a group led by Kailimai was chosen over Jonah Kumalae's Glee Club and Ernest Kaʻai's Glee Club. thumb|Kailimai (center) and the Hawaiian Quintet at the Panama–Pacific International Exposition, 1915 Kailimai's group, the Hawaiian Quintet, performed daily at the exposition, surrounded by tropical plants such as palm trees and ferns in the center of the Hawaiian Building's entrance hall. Large amounts of fairgoers heard Kailimai's most popular hapa haole composition "On the Beach at Waikiki" while they passed through the Hawaiian Building, which, as a result, helped the song find commercial success in the mainland United States. The composition has been considered the first Hawaiian song to become a major hit in the mainland. While "On the Beach at Waikiki" was Kailimai's most popular song, he composed many others during his lifetime, including "Sweet Brown Maid of Kaimuki", "Little Honolulu Lou", and "Paradise Isle". Move to Detroit One of the attendees of the Panama–Pacific International Exposition was business magnate Henry Ford. Impressed by the performance of Kailimai and the Hawaiian Quintet, Ford formally invited the group to Detroit to serve as the Ford Motor Company's official musicians, performing at Ford promotions and events. Now called the Ford Hawaiians or the Ford Hawaiian Quintet, the band and its "tropical sound" became a popular attraction in the Midwest; one concert in Detroit recorded over 5,000 attendees, with hundreds more turned away at the box office. The group continued playing at Ford events and on Ford's radio station into the early 1920s. Henry Ford also offered each of Kailimai's sons a full education and guaranteed employment at his company. After the disbanding of the Quintet, Kailimai remained in Detroit and held various jobs, including in the auto industry and as a sales clerk. He also taught the ukulele, guitar, and mandolin. He died on 7 February 1948,"Wayne County Death Record Index, 1945-1949". Detroit Public Library. p. 174. Retrieved 31 August 2024. and was posthumously honored for his "outstanding musical achievements" by the Detroit City Council in 2016.

Brian Fairbrother

Brian Fairbrother is an American soccer coach known for his contributions to the development of soccer in Shelton, Washington. He is known for founding the soccer programs at Shelton High School, where he established the boys' program in 1981 and the girls' program in 1985. Early life and education Fairbrother grew up in Southern California, graduating from Inglewood High School (California) in Southern California before attending Western Washington University in Bellingham. When he arrived in Shelton in the late 1970s, he noticed the absence of soccer in the community, which contrasted with other schools in Thurston County, Washington. Career Founding youth soccer programs Fairbrother became a founding member of both the Shelton Youth Soccer Club and the South Mason Soccer Club. He obtained soccer equipment from the basement of Tumwater, Washington dentist Dr. George Gunderson to help develop youth soccer in South Mason County. By 2007, three hundred children were participating in youth soccer in South Mason. Several of his players went on to win the 1999 U-17 state championship with South Mason Soccer Club. Coaching at Shelton High School Fairbrother began coaching the Shelton boys' soccer team in 1981 as a volunteer, recognizing the need to establish a program. "They didn't have a teacher, he told The Olympian, "and I figured the program would die if it didn't get started this year." Initially, Shelton played in the Black Hills League with a junior varsity level team. By 1983, the boys' team won their first home game, and in 1985, they had their first winning season. In 1994, the Shelton boys' team won their first Black Hills League championship with a 13-2-1 record, and advanced to the Washington 2-A state playoffs. Shelton were co-league champs in 1998 with the best record (15–2–1) in the school's history. Fairbrother was named Black Hills League coach of the year in 1993 and 1994. The team earned their first post-season win in 1999 against John F. Kennedy Catholic High School (Washington) who were defending state champions. Following that season, Fairbrother's team had several players earn all-league honors. That same year, he led the girls' team to their first appearance in the regional tournament at Stadium High School in Tacoma, Washington. Shelton's boys' team also won league titles in 2000 and 2001. In 2002, Shelton completed their final season in the Pacific-9 league with an undefeated 8-0-1 record. The team got knocked out of the state playoffs, but won the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association Class 4A academic state championship. Retirement Fairbrother retired as head coach of the girls' program in 1999 (91–110–22) and the boys' in 2007 (222–158–42). In 2024, he was inducted into the Shelton, Washington hall of fame.

Health and Social Care Act 2001

The Health and Social Care Act 2001 (c 15) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It represented the Labour Party's turn towards private health sector after decades of anti-privatisation rhetoric. Background During 1997–2001, Labour had begun to "modernise" the National Health Service, by increasing investment and bringing the spending on health into line with peer European countries and had begun to reduce certain "marketisation" aspects. Increasingly, many patients had begun to use private providers for healthcare, and for the 2001 general election, Labour decided that to prevent a 'sleepwaking to a US-style health-care system', patients would be able to access private health care through the NHS. In August 2000, the Labour government announced the NHS Plan 2000, then known as the "NHS Plan", which was described as the "biggest shake up of the NHS since it was established in 1948". The plan was described in an opinion piece for the British Medical Journal as "As good as it gets—make the most of it" In November 2000, Alan Milburn signed a concordat with the private sector, a reversal of the dismantling of the marketisation policies under Frank Dobson. Details In 2003, provisions of the law abolished community health councils in England, which was controversial among Labour MPs, on the basis that they would be replaced by 'local patient advocacy groups'. These local groups were formed in April 2008. and patient and public involvement forums The guidance for these organisations was delivered to councils in 2003. The act provided for primary care trusts (PCTs) and NHS trusts to be designated as care trusts in cases where they had local authority health-related functions delegated to them by agreement. These primary care trusts took over the functions of health authoriiesy, which were abolished under the National Health Service Reform and Health Care Professions Act 2002. Social care in England was reorganised to be structured into these trusts which would pool their services - this was the first time that health and social care were integrated at the local level since the National Insurance Act 1970.

Canadian Youth Congress

The Canadian Youth Congress was a left-wing youth movement that existed from 1935 until 1942, when it was declared illegal under the Defence of Canada Regulations. It was founded in Toronto in May 1935 as an organization to mobilize youths and youth-oriented organizations across Canada to lobby the government for change in the face of mass unemployment during the Great Depression in Canada. At its height, it had a constituent membership of over 400,000 and offices across the country and held annual congresses that attracted several hundred delegates. The organization was part of the World Youth Congress Movement and sent delegates to the First World Youth Congress held in Geneva in 1936https://digitalcollections.mcmaster.ca/sites/default/files/pw20c_images/00000665-2.jpg and the Second World Youth Congress held at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York in 1938.https://digitalcollections.mcmaster.ca/pw20c/world-youth-congress-pamphlet-16-23-august-1938-0 At the 1936 Canadian Youth Congress national meeting in Ottawa, the group reported that it represented “men and women: youth from all the different religious denominations; from schools and universities; from the Y.M. and W.C.A.’s; from all political groupings; from different racial groups; from farms, factories, the professions; peace, cultural, athletic societies—English-speaking and French-speaking Canadians. The congress expressed the thought of awakened and intelligent youth opinion throughout our country”. In 1936, the CYC's Ottawa congress issued the Declaration of the Rights of Youth calling for youth employment training, public health care, social security, recreational and educational facilities, and world peace. Later in 1936, the CYC issued the Youth’s Peace Policy which stated that “war is not inevitable” and that “lasting peace can only be organized on a basis of justice” and calling on nations to adhere to the Covenant of the League of Nations. It called for Canada to make its own independent decisions in regards to war rather than automatically following the lead of the United Kingdom in foreign policy. At its height, it was able to attract speakers at its conferences ranging from Tommy Douglas of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation to Paul Martin, Sr. of the Liberal Party of Canada and Denton Massey of the Conservatives, to Tim Buck of the Communist Party of Canada. In 1940, after World War II had broken out, the CYC's annual congress, held in Montreal, issued a declaration in support of civil liberties, stating that “the War Measures Act and the Defence of Canada Regulations deny our traditional rights of free speech, free assembly, organization and trade union action, free press, radio and pulpit" and also opposing conscription in Canada, in a statement title ''Youth Want Jobs Not Conscription". The organization as surveilled by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as a suspected subversive organization, due to the involvement of the Young Communist League of Canada, which was a constituent organization of the CYC that would be been banned under the Defence of Canada Regulations in 1940. The RCMP claimed that of the 730 participants at the 1936 congress, 50 were members of the Young Communist League and a further 150 were "straight Communists" and claimed that 85% of participants at the 1940 congress were Communists. The CYC's anti-war statements at its 1940 congress resulted in several organizations that supported the war effort withdrawing their affiliation with the CYC. In 1942, the CYC dissolved after it was itself banned under the Defence of Canada Regulations.

Diemerpark

thumb|Beach on the IJmeer in the Diemerpark, with a view of IJburg Diemerpark is the largest urban park in Amsterdam with an area of ​​around 90 hectares, making it about twice as large as the famous Vondelpark in Amsterdam-Centrum. Diemerpark, located between IJburg and the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal, was opened in 2004 and offers numerous recreational opportunities for visitors. History In the 12th century, the "Diemerzeedijk" (English: Diemerseadike) was built to protect the surrounding land against the floods of the Zuiderzee. However, the dikes bursted often. In 1932, the Afsluitdijk transformed the Zuiderzee into an inland lake without the devastating floods of the past. The area around the lake thus became a natural area with rich vegetation and many animal species.. Mit Fotos. Niederländisch, abgerufen am 17. Oktober 2010 In the 1960s and 1970s, the area of ​​today's nature and urban park was used as a landfill for household and chemical waste. This made the Diemerzeedijk one of the most polluted places in the Netherlands. Until 1973, chemical waste was burned in a part of the area. This caused the area to become very polluted.Diemerpark op Amsterdam.nl Ten years later the dump was permanently closed. Soil remediation took place from 1998 to 2001. In 2004, the park was opened to visitors. . Niederländisch, abgerufen am 1. September 2012 The chemical waste was dumped illegally for years. The municipality of Amsterdam was able to avoid legal prosecution in a settlement procedure (Dutch: "schikking") by paying 100,000 euros to the Dutch state.Autor: Steye Raviez Internatmagazin De Leunstoel, Nr. 3 vom 13. November 2008. However, after the landfill was closed, a rugged nature reserve with a great biodiversity developed. Research showed that the pollution did not pose a direct danger to humans and animals, but because of the construction of IJburg, plans were made to clean up the area. Because of the extent of the pollution, the area was "wrapped" underground by sheet piles and covered with a waterproof top layer consisting of bentonite clay and foil. The park was built on top of that. This makes the park a kind of roof garden on the former landfill. As a result, visitors are not allowed to dig holes, and it is not possible to leave deep-rooted trees of more than 5 meters high there.5f10.nl The groundwater is pumped away and purified. A story can be read on the manhole covers. At the entrances to the park, visitors are made aware that there are some restrictions on using the nature park: neither humans nor dogs are allowed to dig on the site, the installation of poles or tent pegs is prohibited and dogs must be kept on a leash.. Vom 31. Mai 2012. Abschnitt: „Diemerpark“. Niederländisch, abgerufen am 1. September 2012 According to the municipality of Amsterdam, the groundwater is not contaminated and therefore harmless to trees and plants. The southeastern part of the park is largely inaccessible to visitors as it consists of swamp. There are now a large number of animals in the natural area, around 200 species of birds, grass snakes, shrews, nightingales, bluethroats, kingfishers and others.. Niederländisch, abgerufen am 1.

Frank E. Edwards

Frank E. Edwards (1874–1943) was the 35th mayor of Seattle, serving from 1928 until 1931 when he was recalled from office for firing popular Seattle City Light superintendent James Delmage Ross. Seattle mayor Edwards ran for mayor in 1928 against Bertha Knight Landes, the first female mayor of a major American city as a "businessman's candidate" but was seen as a political unknown. The Edwards campaign was secretive and raised large sums of money but was not endorsed publicly by major organizations, compared to the Landes campaign, which was endorsed by newspapers, the Central Labor Council, the Prohibition Party, and women's organizations. Edwards major critique of Landes was that she was a woman, refusing to debate her saying, "...the questions that are encased in your pent up bosom" because it was "manifestly hard" for a man to debate "a hostile or infuriated woman." At the debate, Landes would place an empty chair on the platform and ask, "Can it be true that a man is afraid of a woman?" Edwards defeated Landes in the March general election, 60% to 40%. Landes would complain that Edwards had devoted excessive funds to his campaign, with prosecutor Edward C. Colvin stating that he would do a thorough investigation. As mayor during the Great Depression, Edwards focused on getting unemployed people working to fight communism. In October 1929, Edwards would tell the council, "If you are willing to work to the best interest of our citizens, whom we have the honor to represent, I recommend that the legislative and executive departments join hands in a most serious effort to provide decent and proper relief of the unemployed by pushing forward such municipal work as will require the maximum of labor." In the 1930 election, Edwards defeated city councilmember Otto A. Case, 60% to 40%. Recall election In 1931, a charter amendment giving Seattle City Light superintendent James Ross authority over engineering projects was on the ballot. Private corporations were against the charter amendment, including power production company Stone & Webster and the Seattle Daily Times. On March 9, 1931, the day before the election, Edwards fired Ross on a dare citing "inefficiency, disloyalty and willful neglect of duty." Edwards planned for the news to come out the following day, while people were voting, but The Seattle Star published a special late evening edition carrying a story by Ross and urging voters to pass the charter amendment. The charter amendment would pass, and the voters began a petition, led by the Municipal Utilities Protection League and future congressmen Marion Anthony Zioncheck, to recall Edwards, gathering 200,000 signatures. In a July 1931 special election, Edwards would become the second Seattle mayor recalled from office with 62% voting in favor of the recall. Personal life Edwards was born in England in 1874 and moved to Seattle in 1900. Before his election, he owned a theater. After his 1928 election win, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer ran a photo of Edwards with his wife with the caption, "[Edwards] receives the first signal of his success — an acknowledging curtsy of obeisance from his wife."

Medo Halimy

Mohammad "Medo" Halimy (Arabic: ميدو حليمي‎; 2004/2005 – August 26, 2024) was a Palestinian social media personality and blogger based in the Gaza Strip. He was known for his “tent life” videos documenting his experiences living in a camp for displaced Palestinians during the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip. He was killed on August 26, 2024, after he was hit by a shrapnel during an Israeli airstrike on Gaza's southern city of Khan Younis. Early life and education Halimy was born and raised in Gaza City, Palestine. He was the son of Adi Al-Halimy. He had four brothers and a sister. Halimy was an alumnus United States Department of State’s Kennedy-Lugar Youth Exchange and Study (YES) program which allows students from predominantly Muslim countries to live and study in the United States for an academic year. He was a student at Harker Heights High School in Harker Heights, Texas from 2021 to 2022. In the summer of 2023, Halimy worked in the Gaza-Based Spark charity. Prior to October 7th 2023, Halimy was a student at Gaza's Al-Azhar University, studying political science and economics. On October 7th, 2023, Halimy’s family was displaced from their home in Gaza city following the Hamas attack on Israel and the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war. Throughout the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip, his family was displaced multiple times moving between Khan Younis and Rafah. In late April 2024, they were sent back to Khan Younis following the invasion of Rafah. During this time, his grandmother has died due to medicine shortages from the ongoing blockade of the Gaza Strip. Online presence Halimy launched his TikTok account after fleeing with his family to Muwasi, the southern coastal area of Gaza that Israel had designated a humanitarian safe zone. He gained a substantial following on Instagram and Tiktok in the summer of 2024 through his vlogs that documented his daily life in Gaza in a camp for internally-displaced Palestinians. He showcased his “tent life” which included sharing moments of joy during deadly conditions and limited internet access, as well as, how he did chores, secured food and managed boredom. Halimy stated these vlogs were to show the resilience, strength, and survival of the Palestinian people. In addition to these daily vlogs, he also had a gardening series where he would plant seeds outside his tent to represent life. Along with his collaborator Talal Murad, they created a joint Instagram page called Gazan Experience where they would answer user questions about how Gazans were living under the current conditions. Halimy was widely praised by viewers for finding small moments of joy amid the destruction around him. Death On August 26, 2024, Halimy was hit by a shrapnel during an Israeli airstrike on Gaza's southern city of Khan Younis. The fatal strike happened in a nearby street to Halimy and his collaborator Murad who were both hit by the deadly debris of the strike. Murad describes a flaming car in front of them and seeing Halimy bleeding from his head. It took 10 minutes for a car to arrive. He was filmed by an NBC News crew as he was rushed to the intensive care unit of Khan Younis’ Nasser Hospital however, hours later, he succumbed to his injuries and died. His death catalyzed an outpouring of grief on social media, where followers expressed shock and sadness at his death due to the close personal connections they had formed with him due to his videos.

Lady in the Bathtub

Lady in the Bathtub is a pillar in San Juan County, Utah, United States. Description Lady in the Bathtub is situated west of Bluff, Utah, in the Valley of the Gods, on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management.Valley of the Gods, Bureau of Land Management, Retrieved 2024-08-31. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above the surrounding terrain in 0.2 mile (0.32 km). Precipitation runoff from this iconic landform's slopes drains to the San Juan River via Lime Creek. Access is via the 17-mile Valley of the Gods Road. This landform's descriptive toponym was officially adopted in 1988 by the United States Board on Geographic Names. The first ascent of the summit was made on September 26, 1978, by George Hurley and Bill Forrest.First Ascent Timeline, deserttowersbook.com, Retrieved 2024-08-31. Geology Lady in the Bathtub is composed of two principal strata of the Cutler Formation. The bottom layer is slope-forming Halgaito Formation and the upper stratum is cliff-forming Cedar Mesa Sandstone.Robert Brett O'Sullivan, Geology of the Cedar Mesa-Boundary Butte Area, San Juan County, Utah, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1965, p. 34. Cedar Mesa Sandstone is the remains of coastal sand dunes deposited about 270 to 300 million years ago, during the Wolfcampian (early Permian). The buttes of Valley of the Gods are the result of the Halgaito Formation being more easily eroded than the overlaying sandstone. The valley floor is Honaker Trail Formation.Dan S. Chaney, The Carboniferous-Permian Transition, New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, 2013, p. 64. Climate Spring and fall are the most favorable seasons to visit Lady in the Bathtub.

Master of the Chudenice Altarpiece

Master of the Chudenice Altarpiece (also known as Master of the Epitaph of Půta Švihovský; ?–1514) was a Czech painter active in Prague at the turn of the late Gothic and early Renaissance. Life The painter, referred to as the Master of the Chudenice Altarpiece after his largest surviving work, trained in Upper Bavaria and ran a painting workshop in Prague before 1500. According to Karel Chytil, he may be identical to Simon Láb, who was a member of the Prague New Town painters' brotherhood of St. Luke from 1503 and later moved to Lesser Town of Prague and became the caretaker of the house of Vilém Czernin of Chudenice. In 1512, he made his will orally in his presence. He died in 1514 in Prague and the artist's widow took over the painting workshop and was admitted to the painters' guild. The altar was commissioned by the Czernins of Chudenice, who owned the village of Chudenice since the first half of the 13th century. Vilém Czernin was a high dignitary at the court of King Vladislaus II and a member of the legislative commission of the municipal court. It is likely that Simon Láb was their house painter. The identity of the artist is indirectly proved by his other commission for the supreme provincial judge Půta Švihovský of Rýzmberk, who, like the Czernins, came from a branched family Drslavic and his house in Prague was adjacent to theirs. Work thumb|Master of the Chudenice Altarpiece, Epitaph of Půta Švihovský The Master of the Chudenice Altarpiece was inspired by the graphic works of Martin Schongauer and stylistically by the older generation of Bavarian painters of the first half of the 15th century (Master of Worcester Panel, Master of the Munich Crucifixion (Alte Pinakothek, Munich), Meister der Pollinger Tafeln, Meister des Tegernseer Hochaltars). These may be prototypes for the figures, whose expressively harsh features the painter softens and refines, thus overcoming the late Gothic canon. His figures are characterized by a more natural body composition, relaxed posture and mellowed movement. The painter captures the physical bulk and cast shadows, and through realistic details he moves towards a Renaissance conception of the painting that is more based on sensual reality. On the other hand, the setting of the figures in an abstract pictorial space with the absence of landscape links the work to the 1560s (Master of the Tucher Altarpiece, Master of Bodensee). Altar retable from Chudenice The large four-part retable with a central panel 191 x 167 cm, two movable wings 191 x 60 cm and a predella 56 x 169 cm is painted in tempera and oil on wood. The altar, located in the Gothic church of St. John the Baptist in Chudenice, is a rare example of panel painting in Bohemia at the threshold of late Gothic and Renaissance. The altarpiece was restored in 1891, 1931 and 2012–2013. The central panel depicts the Madonna between saints John the Evangelist and John the Baptist. On the open wings is St. Wenceslaus on the left and St. Christopher on the right. On the back of the wings is St. James the Great with the kneeling donor on the left, St. Andrew on the right. The figures are placed in an imaginary space, which is bordered at the back by a partition decorated with presbrocade (the centre and back of the wings) or decorated with gilding and embossed decoration. On the predella is the scene of the Annunciation of the Virgin Mary and in the centre the emblem of the Czernins. At the bottom are the inscriptions: Domin(us) Wilhelmus domin(us) Joh(an)nes Cernin-Chudenic...fieri fecerunt Anno Domini 1505. The date coincides with the year of Jan Cernin of Chudenice's death and it is therefore likely that the altar was made by his brother Wilém in Jan's memory. Epitaph of Půta Švihovský The 1505 epitaph comes from the mausoleum of Půta Švihovský in the Franciscan monastery in Horažďovice, from where it was later moved to the local parish church. The deanery in Horažďovice donated the painting to the National Museum in Prague and in 1920 it was loaned to the Picture Gallery of the Society of Patriotic Friends of Art. The epitaph of Půta Švihovský was one of the exhibits of the exhibition Gotika v jihozápadních Čechách: Obrazy krásy a spásy (2014). Painting on pine wood panel 137,5 x 110,5 cm. In the centre of the composition is the figure of the Sorrowful Christ, held at the waist by the Virgin Mary, touching his right hand. To the left of her stands St. Bartholomew, who recommends to Christ a kneeling donor in armour, marked with a large coat of arms as a member of the Švihovský family. On the right stands Archangel Michael, to whom the monastery church was dedicated, with St. Peter behind him holding a large key. The background of the painting is gilded and decorated with embossed ornamentation. In contrast to the altarpiece, the figures fill the entire space and communicate with each other with gestures and glances. The painting is colour-balanced, the draperies have a more organic relationship to the body and the cast shadows are more natural. The painter's exquisite attention to detail excels, especially in the ornate cloaks and armour of the donor. Jan Royt believes that the artist a different painter from the workshop that created the Chudenice altar. Votive panel with the Crucifixion from Vrchotovy Janovice The 72 x 52 cm panel depicts Christ crucified with Mary, St. John the Evangelist, St. Jerome and the donor. The origin of the painting is unknown.
