Van Eps Young (September 30, 1822December 12, 1895) was an American businessman, politician, and Wisconsin pioneer. He was a member of the Wisconsin Senate, representing Sheboygan County during the 1867 session. He served throughout the American Civil War with the Union Army, and helped organize two regiments of United States Colored Troops. His middle name is sometimes spelled "Epps". Early life Van Eps Young was born in Auburn, New York, in September 1822. He was raised and educated in New York, then came west to the Wisconsin Territory in 1844, settling first in Racine. After a few years in Racine, he went north to Sheboygan, Wisconsin, which remained his home for much of the next 20 years. In Sheboygan, he worked as a livery keeper and operated a produce shop. Civil War service At the outbreak of the American Civil War, Young joined up as a private with a company of volunteers which was enrolled as Company E of the 17th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment. But shortly after that regiment mustered into service, he was transferred to the 14th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment and commissioned as first lieutenant of Company H in that regiment. He joined the 14th Wisconsin Infantry as it was still being organized near Savannah, Tennessee; from there, they were summoned to the nearby Battle of Shiloh, which had begun unexpectedly. They arrived at the battlefield on the evening of the first day of the battle, and were then engaged in heavy fighting throughout the second day—charging and seizing an enemy battery, suffering 146 casualties (out of about 600 men active at the time). Due to a large number of wounded or killed officers, Young became acting adjutant of the regiment shortly after the battle, and was formally promoted to adjutant in September 1862 (retroactive to July 1862), and ultimately served in that role until May 1863. During this time, the regiment was engaged in operations for control of the Tennessee–Mississippi border, and then joined Grant's Vicksburg Campaign. During the Vicksburg campaign, Young was detached from his regiment to assist in recruiting freed Africans to serve in Union Army regiments. In May 1863, he was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the 10th Louisiana Infantry Regiment—which later became the 48th United States Colored Infantry Regiment. He assisted in organizing this regiment until October 1863, when he was promoted to colonel and placed in command of the 11th Louisiana Infantry Regiment, which
then became the 49th United States Colored Infantry Regiment in March 1864. In this role, he became a brigade commander of forces posted around Vicksburg after the city fell to the Union and was formally appointed provost marshal of the western district of Mississippi, serving in that role through most of 1864, all of 1865, and into 1866. He was honorably discharged in June 1866. Postbellum career Following the war, Young returned to Sheboygan, Wisconsin. That fall, he was elected to the Wisconsin Senate from Shebyogan's State Senate district—the 1st State Senate district—running on the National Union ticket. He served through the 1867 session but resigned in the Fall of 1867—with a year left in his term—and moved to Grand Rapids, Michigan. In Grand Rapids, he worked as an accountant and served a term as superintendent of the city police in the 1880s. Personal life and family Van Eps Young was one of five children born to Abram Van Eps and Lydia Hutchinson (née Whipple) Young. was a major in the New York militia and served in the cavalry during the War of 1812. The Young family were descendants of Reverend John Youngs, who was the first English colonist to settle in Southold, New York. Van Eps Young married Arilsle Crane Seaman, of Lancaster, New York, on August 26, 1852, at Sheboygan. They had six children together and their marriage lasted 30 years, ending with her death in 1883. Their eldest son, Abram Van Eps Young, became a notable scholar and was chairman of the chemistry department at Northwestern University for 34 years. Van Eps Young died at his home in Grand Rapids on December 12, 1895, and was survived by all six of his children.

The Blacas papyri are two fragments of an Aramaic papyrus found in Saqqara in 1825. It is known as CIS II 145. The fragments are held in the British Library as Oriental Papyrus 106* A and B. They were sold to the British Museum in 1866 by the estate of Pierre Louis Jean Casimir de Blacas, who had purchased it shortly after its discovery. The text became the standard by which other Aramaic papyri were judged – particularly the Elephantine papyri: From the Euting papyrus which entered the Strassburg Library in 1900 down to the very last published by Prof. Sachau in 1907 all have been judged upon the standard of the Blacassiani; and if not the slightest objection was made as to their referring to, or being dated after various kings of the Achemenides dynasty, it was so because in the year 1878 the "Revue Archéologique" set forth the theory that the Blacassiani were of that period, a theory which although passed over on its appearance by the very man to whom the public epistle propounding it was inscribed, Ernest Renan, gradually gained ground until the Marquis de Vogüé by its adoption caused it to be raised to the dignity of indisputable doctrine. But it is only natural and reasonable that, if the proof were furnished that the Blacassiani papyri have been misunderstood, any doctrine based on their faulty interpretation should fall to the ground, and that only one way should remain to deal with it: complete abandonment and total oblivion. In recent years it was shown that the two fragments fit together, connecting by a single line. Bibliography British Museum Papyrus CVI*, Facsimiles of manuscripts and inscriptions.

The Milentija Monastery is a medieval monastery whose ruins are located near the village of the same name in the municipality of Brus, Serbia, not far from the Koznik fortress. It was built in the Morava style, most likely after 1430, and was one of the larger monastery complexes of that era, which is why it is believed to have been the endowment of a powerful magnate. Among the remains of the church, they found remains of decorative stone plastic, which today are part of the collections of the National Museums in Belgrade and Kruševac, stand out. Archaeological research of the monastery church and its conservation began in 1969, while a large part of the complex remained unexplored. The ruins of the Milentija monastery are today under the protection of the Republic of Serbia as a cultural monument of great importance. History It is not known who and when built the monastery, but it is believed to have been created during the fourth or fifth decade of the 15th century. This dating is based on several facts: The foundation of the church (triconchos) and the stone sculpture testify to the construction in the Morava style (the last third of the 14th and the first half of the 15th century). The artistic value and way of making the stone decoration testify to the construction in the era of the developed Morava style In the charter of Radič Postupović from 1430, the village of Milentija is mentioned in his area, but not the monastery in it. Based on the remains of the monastery church, it is considered to be the endowment of a powerful regional lord, which is why it is assumed that its founder could have been the great leader Radič Postupović, who was one of the most prominent nobles of Serbia, during the time of the despot Stefan (prince 1389— 1402, despot 1402–1427) and despot Đurađ (1427—1459), and held the area of Rasina around Koznik, in which Milentija is located. Monastery complex The monastery church, dedicated to Saint Stephen, has a compact trikonchos base, with semicircular apses and a dome over the nave. It is 17.5 meters long, and its base is very similar to the nearby Lepenac monastery (in the village of the same name). Today, its walls are preserved up to a height of about 2 meters, while its exterior was decorated with stone decorative plastic, and it
is believed that it was partially painted. The stone decorations themselves testify to a high level of artistic and craft processing, and it is believed that they were painted, which contributed to the vividness. According to the opinion of art historian Sanja Kesić-Ristić: "The stone sculpture in Melentija is executed very skillfully, boldly and in a deeper relief than is the case with other monuments of the Morava architectural school, which contributes to the strong contrasts of light and shadow on it." One of the specificities of stone sculpture is a large rosette, on which a stylized ox's head is represented, although the Morava style rosettes feature almost exclusively geometric and plant motifs. In one of the buildings of the monastery complex, located twenty meters west of the monastery church, archaeologists discovered a small niche in which the skeleton of a child was found, placed as in a normal burial (lying on its back). It is estimated that the child could not have been older than seven years at the time of death, and it is considered that this is a confirmation of the existence of human sacrifice for the successful construction of an object, which was recorded in those areas only in folk poetry and beliefs in the existence of a talason, a kind of good local spirit that protects the building from people who intend to destroy or damage it.

In gridiron football, the quarterback position is often defined by a player passing the football within the pocket. However, over the sport's history the position has evolved to feature quarterbacks with elite running ability. These quarterbacks are dubbed "dual-threat" or "running" quarterbacks for their potential to attack opposing defenses through the air or on the ground. Dual-threat quarterbacks have historically been more prolific at the college level. In the NFL, Cam Newton is the all-time leader in rushing attempts (1,118) and rushing touchdowns (75) for a quarterback, while Michael Vick holds the record for most rushing yards (6,109). In the Canadian Football League (CFL), Damon Allen holds the rushing yards (11,920) and rushing touchdowns (93) record among quarterbacks.

Rushing attempts Rushing yards Rushing touchdowns Single-season leaders Rushing attempts Rushing yards Rushing yards per game Rushing touchdowns In the Canadian Football League The width of the CFL's field at 65 yards and the length at 110 yards has allowed quarterbacks to find openings to run the ball, implementing improvisation by a quarterback as a beneficial trait in Canadian football. Quarterback sneaks or other runs in short yardage situations tend to be successful as a result of the distance between the offensive and defensive lines being one yard. Drew Tate, a quarterback for the Calgary Stampeders', led the CFL in rushing touchdowns during the 2014 season with ten scores as the backup to Bo Levi Mitchell. He was primarily used in short yardage situations due to his speed and running ability.

The Imperial Villa of Vicarello was an ancient Roman villa-estate that belonged to the emperors starting from Domitian (r.81-96). It is situated near the north shore of Lake Bracciano and near the village of Vicarello, near the modern town of Trevignano Romano. The current private Vicarello estate is a park of about 2000 hectares in which the Roman remains of the villa and associated monumental baths were discovered in the 19th century, some of which are still preserved. The two main ancient centres are: the village which includes the now-disused 17th century Villa Valadier overlooking the lake, built on the remains of the Roman villa or vicus (village). about 1 km to the north the remains of the (mainly public) baths next to the natural springs, the Aquae Apollinares, which had also been a healing sanctuary to Apollo since Etruscan times as evidenced by the many votive objects found. Vicarello was also an estate in the Roman period called the Vicus Aurelius, the origin of the name "Vicarello", as it had later belonged to the emperor Marcus Aurelius (r.161-180). In 1999 the area became protected as part of the Regional Natural Park of Bracciano-Martignano. History A continuous human presence since the 2nd millennium BC at the baths site and its identification as a healing sanctuary to Apollo was confirmed by the discovery in 1852 of a huge votive deposit dedicated to the cult of the waters. An Etruscan cemetery covered a large area on the lower slopes on either side of the Roman baths, revealed by field surveys in 1986 and 1992, which has been associated with the lost centre of Sabazia or Sabate. Already by the Republican era the sanctuary was important as a destination for pilgrims from nearby cities, including Rome, and many from as far as Campania in the 3rd century BC as the sanctuary was connected to a trans-Italian road network. Extensive traces found of Republican and imperial remains around the villa/vicus and baths showed a complex covering a large area in these periods. Domitian developed further the baths and the villa-estate as a single project as evidenced by brick stamps and inscriptions. Domitian's takeover of the baths must have resulted in their closure to the public and limitation to only the imperial court, as their public use is documented before and after his reign. For these buildings cold water springs located 200m to the north
of the baths were harnessed in the "long springhouse" feeding the small cistern nearby. For increased water needs of the new extravagant monumental nymphaeum, Domitian soon added more springs to the main gallery of the "long springhouse" as well as the large Porcareccia cistern and a new bridge over the stream valley. Domitian owned and developed several large villa-estates in Italy including those at the Alban Hills, Tusculum, Antium, Anxur, Circeii, and Baiae. Domitian had probably acquired large tracts of land around Vicarello in this period and around the lake to secure more water sources, which had been made easier after 60 AD when the lake's level suddenly rose, flooding every lakeside villa and other infrastructure. With these additional sources, he probably began a new aqueduct project to supply Rome starting from the Vicarello springs. The aqueduct was later completed under Trajan as the Aqua Traiana whose remains are in the higher reaches of the stream behind the thermal baths. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the baths suffered partial destruction, first by the Saracens and then by the Longobards. In 1692 the baths area was sold to the Roman Hungarian College, which in 1737 built the thermal baths of Bagni di Vicarello. In the sixteenth century a hunting-lodge was built overlooking the lake and on the remains of the Roman villa/vicus by the Orsini family, which was remodelled in the 17th century by Valadier as a fine palazzo known as the Villa Valadier (or Casina or Casale). In 1930 the management of the baths was entrusted to German nuns who managed it until 1970. After the sale of the Vicarello estate to the Vicarello Agricultural Society in 1983 the thermal baths were closed and are still abandoned. In 1989 the Agricultural Company was taken over by Vicarello Spa, an Italian company. The Thermal baths At the heart of the sanctuary complex is a hot spring over which a resort hotel was built in the 18th century, now abandoned, from which it still flows into the adjacent stream. The spring has a temperature of about 56 °C and was known as a healing centre and was frequented since ancient times as evidenced by the votive objects found there dating to the 7th century BC. The Romans venerated the god Apollo on this site, father of the god Aesculapius who cured diseases and who was also venerated here. In Roman
times the locality was known as Aquae Apollinares, and experienced much development with the construction of the baths, roads and various buildings. About 50 m to the east of the hot spring is a monumental baths complex with late-Flavian rooms constructed in opus latericium, probably built under Domitian and on a different alignment to the building around the spring. These baths used both hot and cold spring water to create rooms at different temperatures. The baths included a monumental nymphaeum dedicated to Apollo whose Pentelic (Greek) marble statue originally over 2 m tall and dated to the second century AD was discovered in situ, now in the Archaeological Museum of Bracciano. The nymphaeum architecture was of a magnificence characteristic of the imperial residences of the Flavians and in particular of Domitian (e.g. the palaces of Domitian on the Palatine and in Albano), with the use of large apses in a hemispherical plan. In 1852 parts of the 18th century baths and the ancient pool were demolished for an expansion, revealing votive deposits accumulated in one of the pool's drains and recovered with difficulty from the scalding waters. It covered a span of human activity dating to Neolithic times, with much from the Iron Age and later, one of the richest votive deposits ever found in Italy. It contained some 40 gold, silver and bronze vases with dedications to Apollo, and thousands of coins ranging from the first to the fourth centuries. They included four engraved silver goblets known as the Vicarello Cups with the route between Cadiz and Rome naming inns (mansiones) along the route engraved on them. Most finds are now in the National Museum. Parts of the ancient sanctuary and baths were excavated in the 1970s and have been left exposed. Cisterns and Aqua Traiana Associated with this area is one of the sources of the Aqua Traiana and traces of the aqueduct are still visible from the lake to the watershed of a stream running down the south-facing slope in the Fosso delle Ferriere ravine. Many springs arise along the west bank of the ravine and had to be collected and brought eastward toward the baths across the stream. A map of 1789 in the State Archive in Rome shows many of the features that still exist, and that the conduit flowed along the ravine's western slope and crossed the stream on a bridge. The springs were
collected in an underground vaulted building, a "springhouse", a complex structure that encloses a main gallery and feeding channels. It lies 12–15 m above the bridge on a narrow, irregular terrace against a heavily fissured cliff face which includes the springs. The main part of the long springhouse is a vaulted chamber 41.5 m long consisting of a main gallery of 27.5 x 1.3 m fed from the south end, and to the north a channel 14.0 m long in which the cross-section contracts. At the end of the northern channel, another channel joins it with water from a rock face to the west and the total contents are fed to a steep offtake. The main source is the west wall of the main gallery where at the bottom of 13 arches built on the exposed rock face several springs issue forth. The underground arcade was replicated above ground with arches of double width covering two underground arches, but the overground structure has mainly collapsed. These were used to support the arches below and the cliff face behind, which is fragile, but also probably as a monumental feature of the aqueduct visible from the baths below. The smaller cistern was initially fed by the springhouse 200 m away to supply the thermal baths with cold water. To supply Domitian's new nymphaeum and also his villa to the south, the south feeder channel was probably added to the springhouse, and perhaps also the northern sources which then fed the large Porcareccia cistern (“The Pigsty”) of area 10 x 40 m. Under Nerva (r. 96–98) and then Trajan (r. 98–117), Domitian's plan for an aqueduct to Rome, which could not have advanced very far, was completed. The Roman Villa Two large elaborate Republican villas were nearby on the lake shore but had been partly submerged after 60 AD, and after he aquired much of the land Domitian built his new villa on parts of these with the main centre on the most prominent position. The large Roman villa was built on a massive eleven-arched cryptoporticus supporting a platform now beneath the Villa Valadier. It had an agricultural area with warehouses and an olive oil mill. It was connected to the Baths at Aquae Apollinaris by a paved road. In 1912 excavations of the underlying Roman building at Villa Valadier were photographed by Thomas Ashby.

Just Singin is a studio album by American country artist, Billie Jo Spears. It was released in February 1971 via Capitol Records and contained ten tracks. The album featured mostly cover recordings of popular country songs from the time period. Just Singin''' was met with mixed reviews from critics following its release. It was her final album with the Capitol label. Background and recording Billie Jo Spears broke through to country music success with 1969's "Mr. Walker, It's All Over". The song reached the top ten of the country charts and a series of recordings followed in its wake on Capitol Records. Several studio albums followed between 1969 and 1971 on the Capitol label including 1971's Just Singin'. The album was recorded in November 1970 at the Jack Clement Recording Studio, located in Nashville, Tennessee. The recording sessions were produced by George Richey, who had produced Spears's previous two albums. ContentJust Singin consisted of ten tracks. Most of the disc's recordings were covers of popular country songs from the era. Included were covers of three number one Billboard country songs: Leon Payne's "I Love You Because", Sammi Smith's "Help Me Make It Through the Night", Ray Price's chart-topping "For the Good Times". Several other charting Billboard country singles were also covered by Spears: Faron Young's "Goin' Steady", Tammy Wynette's "Apartment No. 9", Anne Murray's "Snowbird" and Ferlin Husky's "Heavenly Sunshine". Three new tracks were also included: "When You Hurt Me More Than I Love You", "I Just Can't Get Enough of You" and "Trying to See". Release and critical receptionJust Singin was released by Capitol Records in February 1971. It was the sixth studio album of Spears's career. It was distributed as a vinyl LP, with five recordings on either side of the disc. No singles were issued from the album and it would prove unsuccessful. Spears would be dropped from Capitol Records the following year. Just Singin received mixed reviews from critics. Billboard commented that "the tunes are strong" and highlighted several covers featured on the disc. Alan Cackett of Country Music People found the album was "handled with poise and professionalism". Meanwhile, Richie Unterberger of AllMusic gave the album three out of five stars. "Billie Jo Spears' 1972 album Just Singin'' perhaps relies too heavily on covers of big country hits to make the kind of individual impact this richly talented vocalist deserved."

Prior to this election, and in the three elections since the 2007 municipal reform, no mayor had won re-election. In the 2017 election, Mikael Smed, from the Social Democrats, won the mayor's position. The red bloc parties had won 17 of the 29 seats, so if the blue bloc wanted to take over the mayor's position, it required a net gain of 3 seats. In the result, the Social Democrats would keep the posiiton as the largest party, but would lose 2 seats. Fellow red bloc parties of the Green Left and Red–Green Alliance would however both gain a seat, and although The Alternative lost a seat, a total of 16 red seats was won. Therefore, it looked as though Mikael Smed was on his way to become the first re-elected in the municipality's history. It would eventually be confirmed that he would have a second term. Electoral system For elections to Danish municipalities, a number varying from 9 to 31 are chosen to be elected to the municipal council. The seats are then allocated using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation.

Servant of God Maria da Conceição Santos (religious name: Benigna Victima de Jesus; Diamantina, August 16, 1907 – Belo Horizonte, October 16, 1981), better known as Sister Benigna, was an Afro-Brazilian mother superior and religious. On October 15, 2011, the process of her beatification was opened by the Archdiocese of Belo Horizonte. On February 18, 2022, Pope Francis enacted a decree recognizing her heroic virtues. Life Early years On August 16, 1907, she was born in the mining town of Diamantina, and registered as Maria da Conceição Santos. From a simple family, she received from her parents a Catholic religious education since childhood. Even as little a girl, she revealed divine gifts and manifested a vocation for religious life. She participated in celebrations of Holy Mass, coronations, processions and prayers of the rosary. In her homeland, Maria took the primary and learned to play various musical instruments. As a catechist and guitar teacher, she evangelized children and adults. Religious life On February 11, 1935, day dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes, Maria joined the Congregation of the Auxiliary Sisters of Our Lady of Piety. On March 19, 1936, the day dedicated to St. Joseph, she made her first religious vows in this congregation of Minas Gerais, and from this date on, became Sister Benigna Victima de Jesus. She began her apostolate by providing religious services in the places designated by the congregation. The Manoel Gonçalves de Souza Moreira Charity House, in Itaúna, was the first place where she worked. There, she took perpetual vows on January 6, 1941, and graduated from nursing. On January 1, 1943, she was appointed Mother Superior, thus assuming the direction of this house. In his new position, she founded a maternity hospital that assisted needy mothers. Sister Benigna suffered slander, such as rumors of a possible pregnancy and the accusation of being a communist nun, and was therefore, in 1948, transferred in a police car to Asilo São Luiz, in Serra da Piedade, in Caeté, where she learned of the demolition of the maternity in Itaúna. In Serra da Piedade, Sister Benigna was placed in a sty, thus acquiring various diseases. José Nogueira, doctor and friend, when visiting her, realized the extreme fragility of her health and, fearing the worst, communicated the fact to the director of the house, telling him that the congregation would be held responsible if something happened to the religious. In
1950, Sister Benigna was assigned to provide services as a midwife and nurse in an asylum hospital in the city of Lambari. In 1955, Sister Benigna went to Our Lady of Lourdes College, in Lavras. To the students of the school, she taught piety, faith and devotion to Our Lady. It was common to find distressed students asking Sister Benigna for prayers to do well in the exams. In honor of Our Lady of Lourdes, Sister Benigna built a cave that was destroyed, shortly after her transfer to the city of Sabará. In this city, in the year 1960, Sister Benigna worked at the Holy House of Mercy. In 1963, Sister Benigna returned to provide her services at Asilo São Luiz, remaining there until 1966, when she was called to help rebuild the Lar Augusto Silva, in Lavras. Sister Benigna lived in this house for the last sixteen years of her life. As an aftertouch of Jesus and devout of Our Lady, she helped all those in need. She was always sought after by people from all walks of life. She had great friends in Belo Horizonte, Lavras and other regions of Minas Gerais, who always had her in difficulties. When food was missing from the asylum, she called these friends and was soon taken care of. On June 30, 1977, in recognition of the work done to the community of Lavras, the city council, by unanimous vote, conferred Sister Benigna the title of honorary citizen. On August 16, 1980, Sister Benigna, with the help of her friends, inaugurated the Chapel of St. Joseph, allowing Eucharistic celebrations to be held for the elderly of the asylum in a nearby place. On August 16, 1981, in honor of Our Lady of Lourdes, she inaugurated a beautiful grotto, in front of the Chapel of St. Joseph. Illness and death On the night of October 12 of the same year, Sister Benigna was admitted to the urgent care center of Prontocor Hospital, in Belo Horizonte, with severe chest pains. A pacemaker was placed in an attempt to save his life. Even though her health was very poor, she, in the bed of that hospital, prayed with everyone who sought her. On October 16, 1981, Sister Benigna died. Devotion Sister Benigna, even after her death, remains a popular figure. Her name elevates and praises the Congregation of the Auxiliary Sisters of Our Lady of
Piety. Thousands of devotees continue to ask for her intercession because of the countless miracles attributed to her. She is recognized as the Saint of the Hour, besides having become for her devotees the Saint of the Hail Queen and of Prosperity, due to the strength of her intercession. Every Monday, at 14:00, faithful gathered in prayer in his tomb, in the Cemetery of Bonfim, where Holy Mass was celebrated and prayed, then the Novena of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompeii. After the transfer of the remains of the religious to the Novitiate Our Lady of Piety, both The Holy Mass and the Novena were transferred to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Conception, in the Lagoinha neighborhood, where devout members, keeping the same day and time, continue to gather in prayer, in the desire that, soon, she is revered in churches of Brazil and the world.

Abdel Moniem al-Taher al-Houni, also transliterated as Abdul Munim el-Huni, is a Libyan military officer, diplomat, and politician. He was one of the original twelve members of the Libyan Revolutionary Command Council and briefly served as Minister of Foreign Affairs from 1974 to 1975. Biography Early career Houni was a major and among the Free Officers involved in the 1969 Libyan coup d'état that overthrew King Idris and brought Muammar Gaddafi to power. After the successful coup, he was among the twelve men named to the Libyan Revolutionary Command Council (RCC). In July 1972, amid false rumors that Gaddafi had been ousted or jailed by other members of the RCC, Houni was named Interior Minister in a new 18-man cabinet. He and Prime Minister Abdessalam Jalloud were the only military figures in the new cabinet; the rest were all civilian technocrats. He later served as Foreign Minister from 1974 to 1975. He also served as head of General Intelligence. 1975 coup attempt and anti-Gaddafi activities from abroad In 1975, Houni was involved in Umar Muhayshi's failed coup attempt against Gaddafi. After the coup was foiled, Houni fled to Egypt, where he was given asylum by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. While living in exile in Cairo, Houni was involved in anti-Gaddafi activities. According to declassified State Department telegram from August 1976, Egypt and Saudi Arabia considered Houni a potential alternative to Gaddafi, either as the leader of an anti-Gaddafi government-in-exile or the leader of Libya after Egypt remove Gaddafi in a military coup or assassination. During the 1986 United States bombing of Libya, Houni, still living in Egypt, was named as the "convener of the Libyan National Salvation Committee." In January 1987, a wide range of anti-Gaddafi Libyans in exile, including Ba'athists, socialists, monarchists, liberals, and Islamic fundamentalists, agreed to coordinate under the leadership of Houni. At the time, Houni was thought of as arguably the most likely candidate to lead Libya if Gaddafi were toppled and someone broadly acceptable to all factions of the anti-Gaddafi opposition. The Libyan National Salvation Committee was later renamed National Alliance, but broke apart in January 1988 due to internal disagreements. In May 1992, Houni was cited as the founder of the National Libyan Alliance. He also reportedly coordinated with Khalifa Haftar in the 1990s. In October 1992, Houni reportedly attended an anti-Gaddafi meeting in Algeria with another former foreign minister Mansour Rashid El-Kikhia, the
leader of the Libyan National Alliance. He and Kikhia also attended a seminar in Washington in late 1993. On 10 December 1993, Kikhia disappeared in Cairo and was widely believed to have been abducted (his body was not found until 2012 in a refrigerator that belonged to Gaddafi's intelligence chief Abdullah Senussi). Days after Kikhia's disappearance, Gaddafi attended a political meeting that called for the killing of Houni, who was described by the Libyan press as a "traitor, spy, and stray dog." Reconciliation with Gaddafi Houni apparently reconciled with Gaddafi sometime in the early 2000s due to the intervention of Egypt and was appointed by Gaddafi as Libya's representative to the Arab League, but he continued to live in Egypt as the Arab League was headquartered in Cairo and thus his new job did not necessitate him to move back to Libya. In April 2003, Houni announced Libya's request to withdraw from the Arab League due to "the absence of a firm Arab stance" against US invasion of Iraq. In 2006, Houni returned to Libya for the first time since 1975 as part of Saif al-Islam Gaddafi's national reconciliation campaign. In July 2007, Houni demanded other Arab countries to cut diplomatic and economic ties with Bulgaria in the aftermath of the HIV trial in Libya. Libyan Civil War On 22 February 2011, Houni was among the first diplomats to defect from the Gaddafi regime to the National Transitional Council (NTC) in the First Libyan Civil War and announced his resignation as Libya's representative to the Arab League "in solidarity with the revolution of the people and in protest of Gaddafi’s actions." On 26 February 2011, Houni falsely claimed that the Gaddafi regime was in its final hours and controlled only Bab al-Azizia and three other military camps. The Fall of Tripoli did not occur until six months later. On 31 March 2011, Houni accused Moussa Koussa, who had defected from Gaddafi, of being responsible for the assassinations of many Libyan opposition figures abroad. He also claimed Koussa was one of the pillars of the Gaddafi regime since the 1970s. In June 2021, Houni was named NTC's representative to Egypt and the Arab League. He was involved in behind-the-scenes talks with Gaddafi's envoys to negotiate a dignified exit for Gaddafi. Houni and other surviving members of the historical Libyan Revolutionary Command Council were floated as potential transitional figures. During the Battle
of Tripoli in August 2011, Houni speculated on Gaddafi's whereabouts. He stated that after losing Tripoli, Gaddafi had only three choices: his hometown Sirte, the desert Jufra District, or the oasis town of Traghan near the border with Niger. On 25 August 2011, the NTC was recognized by the Arab League as the legitimate government of Libya and Houni was once again allowed to serve as Libya's representative to the Arab League. In January 2012, Ibrahim Dabbashi accused Houni of stealing $17 million. In September 2012, the Libyan government claimed Houni no longer had any role in the government since March. 2021 Libyan Presidential election On 22 November 2021, Houni registered to run for president at the electoral office in Tripoli. The presidential election was later postponed indefinitely. References Foreign ministers of Libya Interior ministers of Libya People of the First Libyan Civil War

"Hurt You" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter the Weeknd, featuring French producer Gesaffelstein. Released as the fifth track from the Weeknd's debut extended play My Dear Melancholy (2018), it was written by the Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye), Gesaffelstein (Mike Lévy), Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo, and Cirkut, with the ladder three producing the track. Critical reception The song received generally mixed to positive reviews from critics. Jordan Bassett of NME referred to the melody of the track as "sliding into in a squealing cacophony of electronic beats, howling synths and sound effects that evoke a ray gun blasting into your heart." While ranking every song on My Dear Melancholy, Michael Saponara of Billboard ranks the song at fourth place; "The second collaboration with Gesaffelstein is reminiscent of classic Abel," says Saponara, "'Hurt You' sees The Weeknd exude his wide-ranging singing abilities here more than any other track on the EP". Craig Jenkins of Vulture described that the track, in particular the lyric "between your legs, not between your heart", as "feel[ing] like eavesdropping on a gross couples’ squabble teetering between high drama and base chauvinism." Larry Fitzmaurice of Pitchfork stated that "Homem-Cristo and fellow Frenchman Gesaffelstein draw from the same well that produced Starboy’s title track and 'I Feel It Coming,' but fail to match the radiance of either." Composition and lyrics "Hurt You" is an alternative R&B song composed in the key of F major and follows a tempo of 184 beats per minute. In the song's lyrics, Tesfaye warns his partner to keep her distance, as he is, in reality, not fully in love with his partner.

The Social Democrats have always had a large strength in Næstved Municipality. In all the general and municipal elections since the 2007 municipal reform, they had become the largest party and held the mayor's position in the municipality. A change of the party holding the mayor's position was also not expected for this election. In the election result, the Social Democrats would once again become the largest party, and would keep the 13 seats they won in 2017. The red bloc parties won 17 of the 31 seats, which made it likely that Carsten Rasmussen would win a third term. This would mean that the party could celebrate 106 years of rule in 2025.. It was eventually confirmed that a third term had been secured. Electoral system For elections to Danish municipalities, a number varying from 9 to 31 are chosen to be elected to the municipal council. The seats are then allocated using the D'Hondt method and a closed list proportional representation. Næstved Municipality had 31 seats in 2021 Unlike in Danish General Elections, in elections to municipal councils, electoral alliances are allowed.

Much of the volcanic activity in the northern portions of the North Island of New Zealand is recent in geological terms and has taken place over the last 30 million years. This is primarily due to the North Island's position on the boundary between the Indo-Australian and Pacific Plates, a part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, and particularly the subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Indo-Australian Plate. The activity has included some of the world's largest eruptions in geologically recent times and has resulted in much of the surface formations of the North Island being volcanic as shown in the map. Current activity The active or dormant volcanoes extend from Northland through the City of Volcanoes", Auckland to Taranaki on the west coast and Bay of Plenty on the East with the North Island Volcanic Plateau hosting multiple active volcanoes. There has been activity within the last 5000 years in all these areas, with most activity on North Island Volcanic Plateau where the Taupō Rift is widening by as much as /year, much faster than other continental intraarc rifts. The Taupō volcanoes most recent major eruption, the Taupō or Hatepe eruption, took place around 232 CE, and ejected some of material (rating 7 on the VEI scale) This included pyroclastic deposits and ash that impacted much of the North Island which was not settled by man at the time. Geology The large ignimbrite sheets of the North Island Volcanic Plateau extend under later sedimentary and volcanic deposits from Hawkes Bay all the way to Auckland as the Kidnappers eruption of a million years ago (1 Ma) produced , the most widespread ignimbrite deposits on Earth being over in area. This eruption had a estimated VEI of 8 and has been assigned a total eruption volume (not just tephra) of . The basaltic volcanism of the far north is tens of millions of years older than this but towards the south by the Bay of Islands we have basaltic volcanoes that erupted only shortly before human colonisation, being Te Puke at between 1300 to 1800 years ago. Also associated with the 20 million year old Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field are andesitic and rhyolitic centres. The slightly older 8 million to 250,000 year ago mix of basaltic and dacitic Whangārei volcanic field volcanoes is adjacent to the andestic and dacitic remnants of 22 to 18 million years ago activity
of a large stratovolcano off Whangārei Heads Further south is the basaltic Rangitoto Island off Auckland which last erupted about 600 years ago It is part of the a line of monogenetic volcanic fields extending southward as they get older along the west coast from the dormant Auckland volcanic field to the South Auckland volcanic field, then Ngatutura volcanic field and finally the Okete volcanic field. This last is situated on the slopes of the calc-alkalic basaltic stratovolcanoes of the Alexandra Volcanic Group. While considering stratovolcanoes , by Auckland on its west coast is the Waitākere Ranges, which are the andesitic conglomerate remnants of the 23 to 15 million year old Waitākere volcano. Much further south on the west coast is the potentially active andesitic Taranaki group of stratovolcanoes that have a history of collapse events. To the east of Auckland is the dacite stratovolcano of Little Barrier Island that is between 3 to 1.2 million years old and older Great Barrier Island at 18.5 to 12.3 million years. Great Barrier Island leads on to the Coromandel Volcanic Zone which towards its south last erupted about 5 million years ago but has similar timings to Great Barrier to the north. The Coromandel Volcanic Zone contains andestic and rhyoltic eruptives mainly. Mayor Island just off the Coromandel east coast is a rhyolytic caldera that last erupted only about 6,340 years ago. The Tauranga Volcanic Centre on the east coast was active with andesitic and rhyolitic events between 2.95 to 1.9 million years ago. Inland from the Coromandel and Tauranga are a line of andestic volcanoes such as Maungatautari that are located on the far side of the Hauraki Rift and have ages of about 1.8 million years. The Hauraki Rift intercepts the Taupō Rift creating the most active area of silica volcanism on earth in the Taupō Volcanic Zone. Its north eastern and south eastern portions are active andestic volcanoes while the central calderas erupt rhyolitic ignimbrite with later basaltic eruptions. Volcanic areas Northland The Northland region contains two recently active volcanic fields, one centered around Whangarei, and the other is the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands volcanic field. The latest activity in the Kaikohe-Bay of Islands field, around 1300 to 1800 years ago, created four scoria cones at Te Puke (near Paihia). Earlier, during the Miocene, a mainly andesitic volcanic arc ran through Northland and neighbouring regions (including the Three Kings Ridge
and northern Coromandel Peninsula), with western and eastern belts active between 25 and 15 million years ago and 23–11 million years ago respectively. Although this produced substantial volcanic edifices, including New Zealand's largest known stratovolcano, the Waitakere volcano, most of these have been eroded away, buried, or submerged, especially in the west, where a series of volcanoes buried offshore stretches south almost to New Plymouth. This is called the Northland-Mohakatino Volcanic Belt. Remnants of these two ancient volcano belts are still exposed in many places, including Whangarei Heads, the Hen and Chickens Islands, around Whangaroa Harbour, Waipoua forest, and the Waitākere Ranges. Auckland volcanic field The basaltic Auckland volcanic field is a monogenetic volcanic field underlying much of the Auckland metropolitan area. The field's many vents have produced a diverse array of explosion craters, scoria cones, and lava flows. The largest and most recent is Rangitoto in the Hauraki Gulf, which last erupted 600–700 years ago. Currently dormant, the field is likely to erupt again within the next "hundreds to thousands of years" (based on past events), a short timeframe in geologic terms. Auckland's residents, however, face more danger from volcanoes farther south. Auckland's volcanoes are believed to be the latest product of an unusual magma source related to local tectonics which is not a classic hot spot, as the earlier volcanic fields are to the south, the opposite expected from movement of the Australian plate over a stationary mantle plume source. Waikato and South Auckland Three volcanic fields erupted between 2.7 and 0.5 million years ago, migrating northwards from Mount Pirongia to the Bombay Hills. The earliest of these fields formed the Alexandra Volcanics which is distinguished by large arc volcano tholeiitic cones but did have associated Okete Volcanics which were traditionally more akaline and oxidised and were in the monogenetic volcanic field pattern seen in the later fields. The distinction between the Alexandra and Okete volcanics is not necessarily clear cut and is still being studied. Alexandra Volcanic Group rocks (mostly basalt) cover about 450 km2 amounting to 55 km3 from at least 40 vents. Mount Pirongia and Mount Karioi are part of the main lineament in the group. The later fields are the smallest Ngatutura Volcanics which comprises about 16 volcanoes south of Port Waikato on the west coast and the South Auckland volcanic field with over 80 volcanoes. The magma body that created the Auckland volcanic
field is considered to have been related to these outpourings also. Unlike typical hot spots such as the one underlying Hawaii, it does not seem to have stayed still, but instead is migrating northward at a faster pace than the surrounding Indo-Australian Plate. Its motion has been explained as the tip of a propagating crack produced by the twisting of the North Island's crust. Coromandel Volcanic Zone The extinct Coromandel Volcanic Zone (CVZ) was a volcanic arc stretching from Great Barrier Island in the north, through the Coromandel Peninsula, to Tauranga and the southern Kaimai Ranges in the south. Activity began in the north around 18 million years ago, and was primarily andesitic until around 9–10 million years ago, when it changed to a bimodal basaltic/rhyolitic pattern. Eruptive centres gradually migrated southward, where they transitioned into early activity in the Taupō Volcanic Zone. Later activity in the CVZ and its interface with the Taupō Volcanic Zone is obscured by subsequent events and is not fully understood, but continued in the south until perhaps 1.5 million years ago in the Tauranga Volcanic Centre. Together with the extinct undersea Colville Ridge, the CVZ formed a precursor to the modern Taupō Volcanic Zone and Kermadec Ridge. Mayor Island / Tūhua Mayor Island / Tūhua is a peralkaline shield volcano with a caldera partly formed in a large eruption some 7000 years ago. It has exhibited many eruptive styles, and its last eruption may have occurred only 500–1000 years ago. The island's Maori name, Tuhua, refers to the obsidian they found on the island and prized for its sharp cutting edge. Taupō Volcanic Zone About 350 kilometres long by 50 kilometres wide, the Taupō Volcanic Zone (TVZ) is the world's most productive area of recent silicic volcanic activity, with the highest concentration of young rhyolitic volcanoes. Mount Ruapehu marks its southwestern end, and it continues up through Ngauruhoe, Tongariro, Lake Taupō, the Whakamaru, Mangakino, Maroa, Reporoa, and Rotorua calderas, the Okataina Volcanic Complex (including Mount Tarawera) and 85 kilometres beyond Whakaari / White Island to the submarine Whakatāne Seamount. The TVZ also contains numerous smaller volcanoes, along with geysers and geothermal areas. Volcanic eruptions began here around two million years ago, with silicic eruptions starting around 1.55 million years ago, as activity shifted southeast from the Coromandel Volcanic Zone. Taranaki Volcanism in the Taranaki region has migrated southeastward during the last two million years.
Beginning in the Sugar Loaf Islands, near New Plymouth, activity then shifted to Kaitake (580,000 years ago) and Pouakai (230,000 years ago) before creating the large stratovolcano called Mount Taranaki, (former name Mount Egmont), which last erupted in 1854, and its satellite vent, Fanthams Peak. This southeastward migration is the continuation of the 25 million year activity of the Northland-Mohakatino Volcanic Belt that extends mainly under the present Tasman Sea from the west of Northland down to Mount Taranaki.

BPI fold containing family B, member 5 is a non-human protein encoded by the Bpifb5 gene, also known as Lplunc5. The BPIFB5 protein and Bpifb5 gene have been characterized in mammals such as rodents (mouse, rat) and even-toed ungulates (pig, cow) but are apparently lacking in primates and other vertebrates such as birds, reptiles, and amphibians. The protein in rodents is expressed at moderately high levels in mucosa of the airways (respiratory and olfactory epithelium) and at moderate levels in salivary glands, esophagus, and gonads (ovary, testis); in even-toed ungulates expression is high in testis, moderate in brain and striated muscle, and low in kidney. In humans no protein is expressed and it is present only as a pseudogene BPIFB5P. The pseudogene was named based on its functional ortholog found in the other species. Superfamily BPIFB5 is a member of the BPI fold protein superfamily defined by the presence of the bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein fold (BPI fold) which is formed by two similar domains in a "boomerang" shape. This superfamily is also known as the BPI/LBP/PLUNC family or the BPI/LPB/CETP family. The BPI fold creates apolar binding pockets that can interact with hydrophobic and amphipathic molecules, such as the acyl carbon chains of lipopolysaccharide found on Gram-negative bacteria, but members of this family may have many other functions. Genes for the BPI/LBP/PLUNC superfamily are found in all vertebrate species, including distant homologs in non-vertebrate species such as insects, mollusks, and roundworms. Within that broad grouping is the BPIF gene family whose members encode the BPI fold structural motif and are found clustered on a single chromosome, e.g., Chromosome 20 in humans, Chromosome 2 in mouse, Chromosome 3 in rat, Chromosome 17 in pig, Chromosome 13 in cow. The BPIF gene family is split into two groupings, BPIFA and BPIFB. In humans, BIPFA consists of 3 protein encoding genes BPIFA1, BPIFA2, BPIFA3, and 1 pseudogene BPIFA4P; while BPIFB consists of 5 protein encoding genes BPIFB1, BPIFB2, BPIFB3, BPIFB4, BPIFB6 and 2 pseudogenes BPIFB5P, BPIFB9P. What appears as pseudogenes in humans may appear as fully functional genes in other species. The human BPIFB5P pseudogene is found clustered with other members of the BPIF gene family conforming to the pattern observed in mammals, but this is not the case for other vertebrate species. In a systematic analysis of the chicken genome, the Lplunc1(Bpifb1) / Lplunc5(Bpifb5) branch of the gene family was determined to be
absent, therefore BPIFB1 and BPIFB5 proteins likely arose only after the speciation of mammals. References External links Pseudogenes Genes on human chromosome 20
Patrick Henry McLogan (1831 – December 16, 1894) was an American labor unionist. Born in Detroit, McLogan became a printer. He was active in local politics, and served for a period as clerk of the police court. In 1857, he joined the International Typographical Union (ITU). In 1865, he moved to Chicago, to work for the Chicago Republican newspaper, and later worked on most of the local papers. In 1874 and 1875, McLogan served as president of the Chicago Typographical Union, then in 1876, he was a delegate to the International Typographical Union convention. In 1880, the Chicago Trade and Labor Council was re-founded, following a recent split, and McLogan was appointed as its vice president. The following year, McLogan and Ed Irwin founded the Progressive Age, a labor movement newspaper. In its columns, McLogan argued for workers to co-ordinate their votes between the major party candidates, in order to show their strength. He resigned from the paper in September 1881. In 1882, he testified before the US Senate Committee on Education, advocating for an employers' liability act, and for the school leaving age to be raised to 18. In 1883, McLogan was elected as president of the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions, serving a single term. The same year, he worked with the Knights of Labor to found the Central Labor Club, initially to endorse sympathetic candidates for Chicago City Council, but soon refocused on state and national politics. McLogan later chaired the labor convention which nominated Robert S. Nelson of the Socialist Labor Party of America in the 1887 Chicago mayoral election. He died suddenly in 1894, and was buried in the union's lot in the Calvary Cemetery. His son, Harry R. McLogan, became a prominent attorney and political activist in Milwaukee.

Following the 2017 election, Ole Vive from Venstre won the mayor's position after the Social Democrats had held it in the 7 years prior to that election. Originally Christina Birkemose was elected to be the candidate of the Social Democrats for this election. However internal conflict resulted in her losing the support, and therefore a new candidate was to be chosen. This time it would be Camilla Mayer who won the support from the Social Democrats. In the election, the Social Democrats would once again become the biggest party. However the blue bloc won 13 seats, and it proved difficult for Camilla Meyer becoming the new mayor. It was eventually confirmed that Ole Vive from Venstre had a majority supporting him to continue as mayor.

On 11 February 2023, Brianna Ghey ( ), a 16-year-old British transgender girl from Birchwood in Warrington, Cheshire, England, was killed in Culcheth Linear Park in Culcheth, Warrington. Two accused teenagers, a boy and a girl both aged 15, are in police custody, having been charged with murder four days after the incident. A motive has not been established and police are investigating "all lines of inquiry", including investigating the killing as a possible hate crime. Background Ghey was a 16-year-old transgender girl and a Year 11 pupil at Birchwood Community High School. Her parents described her as "a larger-than-life character who would leave a lasting impression on all that met her". According to her friends, Ghey would often help younger trans girls safely and legally access hormone replacement therapy. They also said she had faced years of transphobic harassment and bullying before she was killed, including at school, a part of which was being repeatedly "gang beaten". In addition to being a student, Ghey was also a TikToker under the username @gingerpuppyx, with her number of followers variously reported as 11,000, 31,000 and 63,000. On TikTok she was known for miming and dancing to popular songs. One of her final TikToks said that she was "excluded from school". After her death, her TikTok account was deleted. Killing On the afternoon of 11 February 2023, Ghey was found with multiple stab wounds on a path in Culcheth Linear Park by members of the public. Emergency services were called at 3:13p.m. and she was pronounced dead at the scene. A Home Office postmortem has been ordered to determine the cause of death. On 15 February 2023, prosecutor Leanne Gallagher said the attack on Ghey was "extremely brutal and punishing". Aftermath A GoFundMe set up by Ghey's friends to support her family raised £70,000 in three days. Candlelit vigils were held both across the United Kingdom, and in Dublin, Ireland in the week after Ghey's death. The attendance for many of these vigils numbered in the hundreds to thousands. A Cheshire Police Investigating Officer said Ghey's family were overwhelmed by "the messages of support, positivity and the compassion across the country and beyond". On 13 February, a no-fly zone was instituted over the site of the killing in response to flights by drones. Despite the no-fly zone, people continued to fly drones over the site, prompting condemnation from police. The LGBTQ-themed radio
station, Gaydio, announced it had collaborated with other LGBTQ stations in the UK to broadcast a minute's silence at 11:00 a.m. on 17 February. The silence would be preceded by a feature introduced by transgender presenter Stephanie Hirst in which she would reflect on the discrimination and violence often experienced by trans people, as well as paying tribute to Ghey. Due to the Gender Recognition Act 2004 that prevents minors from acquiring a gender recognition certificate, Ghey's death certificate will likely misgender her. U.S. civil rights attorney Alejandra Caraballo wrote "The gender recognition act that the gender criticals keep fighting, with horrific, demonising language, means that Brianna Ghey's death certificate cannot list her gender as female. As a final insult, the English government will officially misgender her in death." Twitter campaigns called for the Government to issue a Gender Recognition Certificate to Ghey "so that she can have the dignity in death that everyone else in this world takes for granted". Accused Two 15-year-old suspects, a boy from Leigh and a girl from Warrington, were arrested by Cheshire Police on the evening of 12 February 2023. Police described the killing as a "targeted attack", and on 14 February, the police began to investigate the attack as a possible hate crime, after having previously stated that there was no evidence to suggest that it was. On 15 February the suspects were charged with murder, refused bail, placed in youth detention, and ordered to appear at Liverpool Crown Court the next morning. On 16 February 2023, the suspects appeared, via video link, in a brief hearing at Liverpool Crown Court. At this hearing, Judge David Aubrey remanded the suspects in youth detention accommodation until a pre-trial preparation hearing on 2 May 2023, in which they will enter their pleas. He also tentatively set their trial to start on 10 July 2023. It is predicted that the trial will last for approximately three weeks. Reactions Ghey's death prompted responses from her family, local community, politicians, charities, activists, and musicians. Ghey's family said her death had "left a massive hole in our family". Emma Mills, headteacher of Birchwood Community High School said: "We are shocked and truly devastated to hear of the death of Brianna." The MailOnline reported that a parent of one of her school friends criticised the initial police statement, saying, "Let's be frank, she was bullied because of her sexuality. Of
course this is a hate crime." Labour Party MP Dawn Butler said on Twitter that "Anyone in the media who is using her deadname trying to erase Brianna's identity should be ashamed of themselves." Another Labour Party MP Nadia Whittome said: "Brianna deserved a chance to become a beautiful adult woman, and to live to see a world where trans people are safe and respected." Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn responded by saying "she was killed because she wanted to be herself", and adding "My thoughts are with Brianna's family and the trans community fighting for safety, dignity and liberation". The Miami Herald reported that thousands in the LGBTQ community and users of social media were grieving over the stabbing death of Ghey. LGBT rights charity Stonewall and transgender youth charity Mermaids expressed sympathy for Ghey's family. Transgender community helplines reported large increases in calls soon after Ghey's death, with topics concerning "transphobia, gender identity and hate crimes". Various musicians tweeted their sorrow, disgust and support, including Yungblud, Big Joanie and Reverend and the Makers. Criticism of UK media Some UK media outlets were criticised for their reporting of Ghey's death. The Trans Safety Network said that some UK media outlets were "publicly disrespecting" Ghey in their coverage of her death. Initial reporting by both BBC News and Sky News did not state that Ghey was transgender. The Times faced strong criticism after amending their original story by removing the word "girl" and including Ghey's deadname. The Times later amended their story again to remove the deadname and re-add the word "girl". The website The Mary Sue condemned what it described as the transphobic atmosphere of the British press and widespread transphobic reporting on the killing of Ghey. Senthorun Raj, a professor of human rights law, said "We all have a responsibility to challenge the insidious ways the media and politicians dehumanise trans people." Ash Sarkar, a journalist for Novara Media, said she "cannot fathom the callousness involved in making the editorial decision to violate her dignity in death." Labour MP for Warrington North Charlotte Nichols said that she would be lodging a complaint with The Times and the Independent Press Standards Organisation and that "there is absolutely no need whatsoever for anyone to publish her deadname when identifying her as trans in media coverage." A report by NBC News on the killing concluded that "the climate in the
U.K. has grown increasingly hostile for trans people over the last few years", noting that the BBC had recently published the article "We're being pressured into sex by some trans women", which was accused of "[painting] all transgender women as sexual predators". American magazine Vogue connected the killing to online transphobia, writing that "there's a near-constant questioning of trans rights that reinforces the idea that trans men and women are trying to fool us, to trick us, that their deeply personal gender identity is an affront to the status quo and how we live."

Parachauliodes is a genus of fishfly in the family Corydalidae. They are present throughout Eastern Asia, likely originating on the Korean peninsula before dispersing to the Japanese archipelago 15 mya. Description Parachauliodes are differentiated from other genera of fishflies by the presence of bi-lobed ectoproct in males and usually having serrated antenna in both sexes. The genus Sinochauliodes was found to be synonymous to a group within Parachauliodes. Larvae have a pair of respiratory tubes on their dorsal side to enable aerial respiration in poorly oxygenated water. Larvae climb out of the water during the night following rain, and P. continentalis dig a bowl-like pit as a pupal chamber. In some species, males mature faster and leave the water earlier to ensure greater mating success. Male Parachauliodes produce a gelatinous spermatophore with spherical bundles of sperm. The volume of the spermatophore ranges within the genus being large enough to prevent remating by females in P. japonicus white being smaller and decreasing in size more slowly in P. continentalis. Adult Megaloptera have been described as dispelling meconial fluids from their anus as a potential defense mechanism, and Parachauliodes produce a much larger volume than other genera. Taxonomy Parachauliodes contains the following species: References Megaloptera

Isho, sometimes stylized in capital letters as ISHO is the name of a mixed-use development edge city located in Timișoara, Romania. The project was conceived from the beginning to integrate residential complex, hotel, retail and entertainment functions. The mixed project includes, in addition to the previous facilities a park, event rooms, offices, a multistorey car park and an expo pavilion. The gross area amounts to approx. with rentable area of approximately . The complex is the home of the tallest residential buildings in Timisoara (Tower Riverside A – 75 m and Tower Parkside D – 70 m). History The current complex was built on vacant land which belonged to old wool factory of "ILSA" until 2012. Romanian businessman Ovidiu Şandor established a new urban center concept which would include facilities to allow gradual development for the area. The office component was designed for a phased development, in three phases. The project attracted important companies from fields such as automotive, IT&tech and services. Various have either expanded their presence in the western part of the country or opened new offices in the complex area. Tenants include Visteon, Bosch, Deloitte, NetRom Software. As of late 2022, Japanese corporation Omron was set to rent working spaces. Architecture Concept The management of the complex knot of fluxes, connections, thoroughfares, viewing directions and panoramas, influenced the planning strategy, the architectural design, the inner landscaping. The main strategy was to divide the site into three east–west strips along the boulevard, along the riverbank and in-between along the future eastern connection. The northern strip will contain massive and iconic buildings (class A offices, hotels, high-rise apartment buildings), consistent with enhancing the boulevard image as a thoroughfare. The southern edge will contain several U-shaped apartment buildings, offering multiple views to the riverbank and traditional districts across the river, and a high-rise, offering an iconic tower. The middle strip contains an inner plaza, defined by the S shaped office building and a green square between the northern and southern rows of buildings. The design of the public spaces with a unique parametric landscaped pattern varies from mineral until green, from public plaza or green square to semi-private inner atriums of the U-shaped buildings. Buildings The complex is set to include a total of nine buildings. Six residential, one for office suites, a hotel and a multistorey car park. As of February 2023, four of the residential buildings, the car
park and the office building are completed. In 2021, a boulevard was built across the complex area and was set to become part of the main circulation arteries of the town. Beyond apartments and new generation offices, the complex provides a conference center and a hub-type co-working space. It serves a total of 2,000 parking spaces, a gym, spa, swimming pool and a park of over 7,500 square meters, with a running track. It will also provide the development of some playgrounds, will be served by an after-school, but also by several well-rated schools and kindergartens, located in the vicinity. The project is complemented by a supermarket, medical center, pharmacy, banks and other complementary commercial functions. Last but not least, the pedestrian area of the complex will offer restaurants, cafes, terraces and other spaces for socializing and relaxing.

The Thatched House is a public house on Ball Street in the English market town of Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire. A former coaching inn, it stands adjacent to the churchyard of St Chad's, at the corner of Chapel Street. A tavern, believed to have been called the Green Man, was on the site in 1793, and may have been built in the Middle Ages. The pub, which is owned by Mitchells & Butlers, was named Campaign for Real Ale's branch Pub of the Year in 2016. In 2019, the pub was refurbished, including the addition of a roof terrace and an improvement to the pub's Chapel Street Brew House microbrewing facility, which was started in 2014. It is housed in the building's old coaching sheds. Today's building was completed in 1907, replacing an earlier structure which was oriented facing Chapel Street. Nicholas Charnock was the first landlord of the new construction. The pub is one of 32 buildings in the town's Conservation Area.

Neuph: Compositions for Euphonium and Trombone is a solo album by trombonist and euphonium player Paul Rutherford. In its original version, released on LP by the Sweet Folk and Country label in 1978, it consisted of seven tracks that were recorded on January 30 and 31, 1978, at Mid Wales Sound Studios in Castle Caereinion, Wales, UK. In 2005, it was reissued on CD by Emanem Records with two additional tracks that were recorded live in April and June 1980 in Rome and Pisa, Italy. Most of the tracks involve overdubbing, and one track features a duet with a dog named Judy. Reception In a review for AllMusic, François Couture called the album "more than a curiosity, but a very interesting development of [Rutherford's] art," and wrote: "Whether you see it as accretive group improvisation with oneself or layer-by-layer instant composition, you do get multiple Rutherfords for the price of one... The music is obviously more dense than usual, without going overboard. Actually, Rutherford managed to put together strong pieces featuring multi-level dialogues and exploring textures and concepts that go beyond his 'traditional' solo work." The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings described the album as "a fascinating experiment that anticipates some of Evan Parker's work in the same area." Andrey Henkin of All About Jazz stated: "The musicianship and experimentation is excellent but what is confounding is that Rutherford is reacting to himself, not in real time, but in a studio, even speeding up certain tracks, to create a soundscape far different than the two live solo trombone tracks that open and close the disc. Some might call it impersonal, but it offers fascinating answers to the questions of how to play solo and how to use available technology to expand the role of a musician." Writing for Paris Transatlantic, Dan Warburton commented: "The information level is high throughout, as one might expect – one Rutherford is usually enough to turn a trombone inside out, so you can imagine what three or four of them sound like – but the music is, despite its considerable complexity, instantly compelling and rewarding." Point of Departure'''s Bill Shoemaker remarked: "The fluidity that is Rutherford's hallmark on trombone is very much in evidence in his euphonium playing, and the formal elasticity that is one of his best assets as an improviser remains intact in his multi-track pieces... Neuph won't dislodge Gentle
Harm'' as the pinnacle of Rutherford's work in the '70s; but, it fills in what has been a nagging gap in his Compact Discography."

Lauren Macdonald is a Scottish climate activist for Stop Cambo. She has publicly confronted the CEO of Shell at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, and previously the First Minister of Scotland. Career Macdonald is from Govanhill, Glasgow. She started her activism with school strikes, and became an organiser for Glasgow's Fridays For Future climate strikes in 2019. She has campaigned against the London-Manchester high-speed railway HS2, and against the Jackdaw gas field. Macdonald is vegan. Actions In the run-up to COP26 in Glasgow in 2021, Macdonald confronted Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister of Scotland, at the Govanhill Carnival. She asked Sturgeon to oppose the opening of the Cambo oil field, off the coast of Shetland in northern Scotland. Sturgeon did not take a clear position in her response. A few days later however, Sturgeon wrote to Prime Minister Boris Johnson, asking that the development of Cambo should be "reassessed in light of the severity of the climate emergency". The letter represented a significant shift in policy for the Scottish National Party, which had historically been a strong supporter of the oil and gas industry; the party's blueprint for an independent Scotland in 2013 was predicated on tax revenue earned from domestic oil production, while Sturgeon had predicted in the run-up to the referendum that, "We’re on the verge of another North Sea bonanza". At COP26, Macdonald was an invited guest on a TED panel with Ben van Beurden, CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, and Chris James, founder of Engine No. 1. She represented Stop Cambo, a climate activist group protesting the exploration of the Cambo oil field. After her first statement and a question to van Beurden, MacDonald walked out of the stage. Macdonald asked him, "If you’re going to sit here and say you care about climate action, why are you currently appealing the recent court ruling that Shell must decrease its emissions by 45 per cent by 2030?". Stop Cambo had been invited to the panel after asking TED to remove Shell from the panel. In May 2022, Macdonald and seven other activists disrupted a lunch with then-Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng.

Gabriel L. "Gabe" Valdez (c.1944 - August 7, 2011) was a long-time New Mexico State Police officer and New Mexico Gaming Control Board investigator. Valdez is most remembered for leading the criminal investigation into unsolved livestock mutilations in 1970s New Mexico. Early life Valdez was born to a family of ranchers south of Tierra Amarilla. Valdez would later recall "We had about 30 head of cattle. My dad would sell steers in the fall. We always had plenty of meat. Not many vegetables but plenty of meat." In 1964, as a high school senior, Valdez was listed on the Tierra Amarilla school's honor roll. Valdez worked for the Roads Department of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Law enforcement career In July and August 1969, media listed Valdez as City Marshal of Chama, New Mexico. In 1969, Valdez joined the New Mexico State Police. After brief stints in Espanola and Chimayo, Valdez was transferred to Dulce. In 1973, racer Bobby Unser publicly thanked Valdez and others who had helped fight flooding at his northern New Mexico ranch. In 1984, Valdez was featured in local papers after being part of a rescue party sent to help snowed-in hunters. That same year, he was featured when he recovered $19,000 in cash and a white powder suspected to be cocaine from a small plane crash. In 1988, Valdez was discussed in connection with a standoff with a resident who refused to vacate. In 1990, Valdez requested, and received, a transfer from Dulce to Albuquerque in order to facilitate his sons attending university there. Around 1992, Valdez retired from the State Police, later taking an investigator position with New Mexico Gaming Control Board. Investigation of cattle mutilations On June 16, 1976, Valdez was interviewed by local media after investigating a mutilation discovered by rancher Manuel Gomez. Valdez reported a mysterious three-legged aircraft had landed twice, scorching grass. In 1978, Valdez was photographed by local media during an investigation of four mutilated cattle. On April 20, 1979, U.S. Attorney R. E. Thompson and US Senator Harrison Schmidt held a public meeting about cattle mutilations. The meeting was attended by about 80—one attendee was Paul Bennewitz, who approached Valdez and reported having seen unidentified lights over Kirtland Air Fore Base. On May 2, 1979, Valdez told press that two drugs had been found in the remains of a mutilated bull found in Torrance County on February 15.
Valdez reported one drug, Chlorpromazine (Thorazine), was used to tranquilize and immobilize the animal, while a second, unnamed drug was used to "clog the blood and remove it through the jugular vein." Valdez told papers "We know this stuff is made here, and it isn't from outer space. Whoever is doing it is highly sophisticated, and they have a lot of resources. They're well organized". Valdez was described as "the state's chief information source on mutilations, having worked on 32 cases... in about three years". In 1982, Valdez was mentioned in connection with helicopter sightings near cattle mutilations. In 1996, Valdez joined Robert Bigelow's "National Institute of Discovery Science", a self-described paranormal research group. Death and legacy Valdez died in 2011. In 2010, the book Mirage Men detailed the operation against Valdez and Bennewitz. In 2013, the documentary film adaptation of Mirage Men featured footage of Valdez. In 2014, Gabe's son Greg Valdez authored Dulce Base: The Truth and Evidence from the Case Files of Gabe Valdez based on his father's files. Greg Valdez reports his father never believed aliens were involved: "People want to come and find aliens, but there is no proof of aliens and my father never believed there was alien activity. He pointed toward the government." Greg Valdez concludes that mutilations were a government testing program looking at the after-effects of radiation from 1967's Project Gasbuggy, in which an underground atomic device was detonated just 21 miles southwest of Dulce: "They were testing the cattle to avoid panicking the public".

The Petar/James Gallery was the first New Zealand dealer gallery to focus on abstract art and the idea of Internationalism. History The Petar/James Gallery was opened in Auckland in 1972 by brothers James and Petar Vuletic. Petar was generally the public face of the gallery telling the Auckland Star, ‘Jim and I believe in combining the best New Zealand painters in one gallery.’ The initiative disturbed the New Zealand art world as Wellington art dealer Peter McLeavey remarked, ‘the whole operation has rocked a few boats. He has the drive, charm and a quality of business that should make him a success.’ McLeavey also noted of the clean, modern gallery space that there was ‘no better private gallery in N.Z. or Australia.’ The Petar/James Gallery closed in 1978. For the rest of the 1970s and into the 1980s, often using the Petar James Gallery brand, Petar Vuletic continued to mount exhibitions, sell art and consult for collectors and corporations, including the significant Fletcher Trust Collection. Petar Vuletic Petar Vuletic, the director of the Petar/James Gallery, began collecting art while a law student and wrote about the abstract artist Milan Mrkusich in the student newspaper Craccum as early as 1968. Around the same time, he formed a close association with Mrkusich who encouraged him to become an art dealer. In 1972, as he was setting up the Petar/James Gallery, Petar Vuletic had worked with academic art historian Michael Dunn to organize the first major retrospective of Milan Mrkusich's work at the Auckland City Art Gallery. Philosophy The Petar/James Gallery was founded on the conviction that the Nationalist painting of New Zealand was old fashioned. In an interview, Petar Vuletic described New Zealand painting as taking, ‘a naive and simplistic view…a concern for explicitly local subject matter such as things supposedly unique to the Zealand landscape, birds, pebbles, black singlets and harsh New Zealand light’ This philosophy echoed the American critic Clement Greenberg who had visited New Zealand in 1968 and had commented that, ‘no one could expect New Zealand to turn out anything of any worth - not major art - because it was too far away from New York, Paris and London …. the factor limiting artistic progress in New Zealand was that local artists did not get many chances to see major overseas work.’ Petar Vuletic became the leading voice in arguing that the wider arts community needed to
look beyond New Zealand for the future of art. This idea was strongly supported by his artists. ‘Unfortunately, too much New Zealand art is not related to overseas trends, but to a preoccupation with the landscape.’ Richard Killeen told a reporter in 1974. The Petar/James Gallery held regular Sunday meetings with Petar Vuletic encouraging younger artists like Richard Killeen, Ian Scott and Phillip O’Sullivan to join senior artists like Milan Mrkusich and Gordon Walters and participate in discussions on the development of an internationalist perspective. Exhibitions The Petar/James Gallery opened in June 1972 with a group show titled First Exhibition which included Don Driver, Rudolf Gopas, Richard Killeen, Milan Mrkusich, Philip Trusttum and Gordon Walters. Other key exhibitions included: 1972 American Graphics which included major American artists Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers and James Rosenquist. The exhibition astutely preceded the 1973 exhibition Contemporary American Prints at the Auckland City Art Gallery. 1972 Milan Mrkusich: Meta Grey and Dark Paintings. In this series Mrkusich removed all extraneous forms and presented what he later described as a ‘specific surface’. 1973 Ian Scott; Recent Paintings. Like Killeen, Scott had been a figurative painter, but by 1973 he had turned to abstraction responding to the paintings of Gordon Walters and the American artist Kenneth Noland. 1974 Gordon Walters: Gouache Studies on Paper 1953-59. The first exhibition of Walters's early abstract works on paper. 1975 Stephen Bambury: Recent Paintings (Tetragonals). Stephen Bambury was the youngest artist shown by the Petar/James Gallery. In keeping with the gallery's formalist focus, his work was ‘about disrupting the consistency of the grid.’ References Art galleries in New Zealand Culture in Auckland 1972 establishments in New Zealand 1978 disestablishments in New Zealand
The Albeth Ice Palace (Allentown - Bethlehem) was an outdoor ice rink in the city of the Allentown, Pennsylvania. The rink primarily served as a recreational and public skating rink, however, it was also home to both the Lehigh Mountain Hawks and Penguin Figure Skating Club for over 60 years. History Shortly after opening in 1939, the ice hockey team from Lehigh University in nearby Bethlehem was granted permission to use the facility as a home venue. The team would use the rink as its home for the next 64 years. Two years later, the Penguin Figure Skating Club was formed used the rink to showcase regional athletes. The rink remained in active use for 65 years and served as a hub for ice skating activities in the area. By the beginning of the 21st century, the rink was showing its age and a much more modern rink was built in Bethlehem in 2003. The following year, with most events having been transferred to the Steel Ice Center, the Albeth Ice Palace held one final public skate in April before closing for good.

Central Bank independence refers to the degree of autonomy and freedom a central bank has in conducting its monetary policy and managing the financial system. It is a key aspect of modern central banking, and has its roots in the recognition that monetary policy decisions should be based on the best interests of the economy as a whole, rather than being influenced by short-term political considerations. The concept of central bank independence emerged in the late 20th century, as many countries were struggling with high inflation and a growing recognition that monetary policy needed to be independent from political influence. The idea was that central banks should be free to make monetary policy decisions that were in the best interest of the economy, rather than being swayed by short-term political considerations. The purpose of central bank independence is to enhance the effectiveness of monetary policy and ensure the stability of the financial system. Independent central banks are better able to carry out their mandates, which include maintaining price stability, ensuring the stability of the financial system, and implementing monetary policy. By being free from political influence, central banks can focus on long-term goals, such as controlling inflation and ensuring stability, rather than responding to short-term political pressures. Central bank independence can be classified in various ways. One common classification is based on the extent of the central bank's autonomy, which can be either formal or actual. Formal independence refers to the legal provisions that guarantee the central bank's autonomy, such as its mandate, its organizational structure, and the procedures for appointing its leaders. Actual independence refers to the practical independence that the central bank enjoys in practice, taking into account factors such as its political and institutional environment, its relationship with the government, and the level of transparency and accountability in its operations. Another common classification of central bank independence is based on the extent to which the central bank is free from government control. This can be either formal or actual, and ranges from complete independence to significant government control, with several intermediate levels in between.

On February 12, 2023, an unidentified object was allegedly spotted by Chinese maritime authorities over the Yellow Sea, inside the territorial waters of China's Shandong province, nearest the coastal city of Rizhao, which is located within the Qingdao metropolitan area. China announced plans to shoot down the object but did not release further details on February 12 regarding the outcome of the planned operation. Chinese authorities believed that the object threatened the security of Qingdao's port, home to Jianggezhuang, a major PLA naval base. Jianggezhuang is the command center of China's North Sea Fleet, home to nuclear attack submarines and the aircraft carrier, Liaoning. Although there were no new updates from state media on the day that followed the object's sighting, it had become a top trending topic on Chinese social media, with millions of views. China did not specify the type or source of the alleged object, or its altitude. It was unclear whether Chinese authorities had shot down the alleged object. Local fishing vessels were sent text alerts asking for their assistance in debris recovery and the collection of photographic evidence after being told to clear the seas underneath the affected airspace.

Very early on March 5, 2019, Midland, Texas, United States, police officer Nathan Heidelberg (born December 2, 1990) was shot and killed while responding with fellow officers to a residence where a burglar alarm had gone off, the first Midland police officer killed on the job in over 50 years. The homeowner, David Wilson, an oil company executive who had fired the fatal shot in the belief that Heidelberg was an intruder attempting to force his way into his family home, was arrested and charged with manslaughter, later increased to murder by a grand jury. In late 2021 he was acquitted. Heidelberg's death was the result of a chain of communication failures. The initial silent alarm soon turned out to have been erroneous, but that was not relayed to officers who were already responding to what they believed was a possible burglary in progress. The police assumed the alarm company had informed the Wilsons that they were on the way, which they had not. Heidelberg may not have adequately made it clear that the police were on the scene. The largest jury pool in Midland's history was called to hear the trial. With so many people in a confined space, jury selection became a COVID-19 superspreader event, infecting not only prospective jurors but the judge and delaying the trial. Wilson relied on Texas's stand-your-ground law and castle doctrine in his defense. After his acquittal he and his lawyers brought an unsuccessful action to have the Midland County district attorney removed from office over alleged misconduct before the trial. Both he and Heidelberg's family are suing the alarm manufacturer and installer. The road on which Midland police headquarters is located has been renamed in Heidelberg's memory. Background A native of Wichita Falls, David Wilson grew up watching his father work as operations manager for a small independent oil company that drilled 120 wells in Garza County's Dorward Field, after the family moved to Snyder, northeast of Midland. In his later teens he began working for his father's company, both managing investments and in field operations. "I didn't know how, what, where or when, but I knew I wanted to start my own oil company." In 2002, during Wilson's college years, while he was also working for an oil-services company in Ira, an opportunity arose to buy six stripper wells, each producing 6 barrels a day, in the Dorward Field. He took
it even though the price of oil at the time was $25 a barrel, making a marginal profit, and invested in more wells and land until he had the capital to drill wells of his own. Eventually he started Unitex Oil & Gas, which by 2011 owned 150 wells producing 400 barrels a day, specializing in shallow-field plays on the eastern shelf of the Permian Basin. A year later he was named one of Forbes 30 Under 30 in the energy sector. By 2019 Unitex employed 80 and owned 1,500 wells; the year before Wilson and his family had moved into a mansion on a lot off a cul-de-sac in the northern section of Midland. He and his wife taught Sunday school at First Baptist Church where he was also a deacon. Heidelberg, who went by his middle name Hayden with friends and family, was born and raised in Greenwood, east of Midland. He graduated from Midland High School in 2009. After his 2011 graduation from Midland College, he earned a bachelor's degree in biology from Sul Ross State University. Heidelberg then joined the city's police department, graduating from its police academy in 2014. He played guitar in a local band called Ricky and the Rhinestones and also was part of the congregation at First Baptist Church. Death of Heidelberg At 1:16 a.m. on March 5, 2019, a silent alarm went off at the Wilson home. The alarm company notified Midland police, who in turn dispatched Heidelberg and Victoria Allee, a probationary officer he was training, to the home. Within two minutes of the alarm, the company tested it and found it was no longer reporting an alarm condition, meaning the original signal was likely a false positive. It did not advise the police of this development. Heidelberg and Allee drove up to the house without turning on their cruiser's lights or sirens, per procedure. Finding it darkened within, they walked around. They checked a back door and found it locked. At the front the door was unlocked; when Allee opened it an alarm chime went off, followed by a voice saying "Door open". The officers immediately closed it and called for backup. The alarm awakened Wilson's wife, Amy, who in turn roused her husband. The couple went to a nearby closet, where he helped her get his Glock 19 handgun from a top shelf in the closet. Unaware that
police were at the house, they saw shadows moving around outside and heard indistinct shouting, which David Wilson thought might be in Spanish. Amy Wilson went to call the police while her husband approached the front door, saying they could hear people outside and their steel front door had been kicked in. The dispatcher told her only that the police were coming. By this time, outside the house, two additional Midland officers had arrived. While David and Amy had been getting their gun from the closet, leading the officers to report seeing shadows moving around in the house, Heidelberg opened the door again, away and announced once, "Midland police, come to the sound of my voice", shining his flashlight into the house. David Wilson walked up to the front door, fired one shot at the person holding the flashlight, and slammed it shut. Amy then called 9-1-1, only to learn from the dispatcher that the police had already been at the house for some time. Her husband's bullet had struck Heidelberg in the wrist and chest, just outside the bulletproof vest he was wearing. He told another responding officer that he thought he was alright, then collapsed. Heidelberg's fellow officers administered first aid to him. Believing that the situation was too critical to wait for an ambulance, they took him in a police car to Midland Memorial Hospital, where further efforts to save him were futile. He was pronounced dead at 2:30 a.m. Aftermath Following Heidelberg's death, police returned to the Wilson home and arrested him on a charge of second-degree manslaughter. He was released the next afternoon after posting $75,000 bond. In May he was indicted on the charge by a grand jury. Heidelberg was the first Midland officer to die in the line of duty since 1966. Flags throughout the city were flown at half-staff. His police cruiser was parked outside police headquarters for a week while mourners left flowers. Chief Seth Herman praised him as "courageous, selfless, ethical and professional"; at Heidelberg's funeral, held at First Baptist, ending with the traditional last radio call to the fallen officer, he tearfully added "As much as I try, I will never be as good a man as Hayden." Burial was at Greenwood Cemetery. Heidelberg was posthumously awarded the Medal of Valor by the department. Later, Governor Greg Abbott presented his family with a posthumous Star of Texas, an award
