free speech on public forums The first amendment covers internet communications. On forums designated by the institution as public forums or commonly used as public forums, students may express themselves without content regulation or removal. Online Policy Group v. Diebold, Inc., 2004 Regulation may take place to prevent illegal activities. Equality rights Right to protection from sex discrimination in higher education Students are protected from discrimination based on sex in any program or activity receiving federal funding except military, fraternity, sorority organizations. Right to the protection from sexual harassment in education Sexual harassment is considered a form of sex discrimination under Title IV of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and applies to all federal programs and activities. Sexual harassment has been prohibited in educational settings and applies also to both opposite and same sex harassment by students. Right to sex equality in the provision of student activities Institutions have an obligation to provide equal opportunities in athletics, bands and clubs. This includes equal accommodation of interests and abilities for both sexes, provision of equipment and facility scheduling for such activities as games and practices, travel allowance and dorm room facilities. It includes also equal quality facilities including locker rooms, medical services, tutoring services, coaching and publicity. To ensure that sufficient opportunities are made available for women, institutions are responsible for complying with Title IX in one of three ways. They must provide athletic opportunities proportionate to enrollment, prove that they are continually expanding opportunities for the underrepresented sex or accommodate the interests and abilities of the underrepresented sex. Right to the disclosure of athletics plans and expenditures The 2008 Higher Education Opportunity Act also requires the disclosure of athletics information including male and female undergraduate enrollment, number of teams and team statistics including the number of players, team operating expenses, recruitment, coach salaries, aid to teams and athletes and team revenue. This information is required to ensure equality standards are met. Right to protection from ability discrimination in facilities The 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act prohibits ability discrimination in higher education. This includes ability discrimination in facility use. Individuals designated with a disability by a medical professional, legally recognized with a disability and deemed otherwise qualified are entitled to equal treatment and reasonable accommodations in both educational and employment related activities. The Supreme Court defined Otherwise qualified as an individual who can |
perform the required tasks in spite of rather than except for their disability. Right to protection from race discrimination The 1972 Equal Educational Opportunity Act protects students equal rights to educational opportunity regardless of race and the 1965 Lyndon B. Johnson Executive Order 11246 and the 1964 Civil Rights Act require equal access to employment opportunities regardless of race. Right to protection from racial segregation Students are protected from racial segregation which compromises access to quality education. Right to affirmative action All federal employers or federal contractors are required to take affirmative action to help counteract the effects of historical discrimination. They must create goals, timetables, action plans, budgets and reporting systems to ensure that marginalized populations are given equal employment opportunities. Regulations must also be posted in conspicuous places easily available to all staff and potential employees. Right to freedom from discrimination in affirmative action Diversity is defined in much broader terms than race. Grutter v. Bollinger (2003) found a “broad range of qualities and experiences that may be considered valuable contributions” and “a wide variety of characteristics besides race and ethnicity.” Members of the majority are also protected from reverse discrimination. Race neutral affirmative action policies must make exceptions on an individual basis and may not discriminate based on race or color. Right to protection from discrimination based on national origin in education Individuals have the right to equal treatment regardless of national origin in institutions of higher education (HEA, 1965) so long as they are citizens or resident aliens of the United States. The 1986 Immigration and Reform Control Act also prohibits discrimination based on citizenship. Institutions have the right to discriminate based on national origin so long as objectives are both narrowly defined and neutrally applied. It is, thus, permissible to require non-resident aliens who are legally present in the United States to have health insurance for instance. Right to protection from age discrimination Age discrimination in federally funded programs is prohibited by the 1975 Age Discrimination Act. This act builds on the 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act. It provides protection from unequal treatment between people of different ages from any explicit or implied distinctions which effect the benefits of participation. Right to equal treatment of student groups Gay Activists Alliance v. Board of Regents of University of Oklahoma (1981) found student groups are entitled to equal and unbiased recognition. Recognition includes the unbiased allocation |
of facility and equipment resources except when there is proof that a student group does not maintain reasonable housekeeping or poses a threat of danger, disruption or criminal action. Autonomy rights to free choice (26th amendment) Right to personal autonomy Healey v. James (1972) found students have the right to self-determination. “Students—who, by reason of the 26th Amendment, become eligible to vote when 18 years of age—are adults who are members of the college or university community. Their interests and concerns are often quite different from those of the faculty. They often have values, views, and ideologies that are at war with the ones which the college has traditionally espoused or indoctrinated. Bradshaw v. Rawlings (1979) found that "adult students now demand and receive expanded rights of privacy in their college life". Contract rights Carr v. St. Johns University (1962) and Healey v. Larsson (1971, 1974) established that students and institutions of higher education formed a contractual relationship. Institutions of higher education are responsible to ensure that contracts, including those implied and verbal, are fair, in good faith and not unconscionable. Students are protected from deviation from information advertised in the following documents: registration materials, manuals, course catalogues, bulletins, circulars, regulations, Ross v. Creighton University class syllabi, student codes, and handbooks. These documents may be binding implied-n-fact contracts. Goodman v. President and Trustees of Bowdoin College (2001) ruled that institutional documents are still contractual regardless if they have a disclaimer. This decision found that "even though the college had reserved the right to change the student handbook unilaterally and without notice, this reservation of rights did not defeat the contractual nature of the student handbook." Ross v. Creighton University found that verbal contracts are binding. The North Carolina Court of Appeals in Long v. University of North Carolina at Wilmington (1995) found, however, that verbal agreements must be made in an official capacity in order to be binding. Dezick v. Umpqua Community College (1979) found a student was compensated because classes offered orally by the dean were not provided. Healy v. Larsson (1974) found that a student who completed degree requirements prescribed by an academic advisor was entitled to a degree on the basis that this was an implied contract. An advisor should, thus, be considered an official source of information. Consumer rights John F. Kennedy's 1962 Consumer Bill of Rights, which is not a legal document, asserts that consumers |
have the right to consumer safety, information preventing fraud, deceit and informed choice, to choose from multiple alternative options and the right to complaint, to be heard and addressed. A number of these principles are enshrined in the law of higher education. Right to limited fiduciary care (institutional care in the student's best interest) Johnson v. Schmitz (2000) found in a federal district court that a PhD committee established for the sole purpose of advising the student had an obligation to advise the student in his best interest. This is a limited fiduciary right. Right to care regarding the safety of students Bradshaw v. Rawlings (1979) reiterated that where a special relationship is established, courts may impose a duty upon an institution or individual to ensure the care of others. Duty is defined here “as an obligation to which the law will give recognition in order to require one person to conform to a particular standard of conduct with respect to another person.” Institutions have a duty of care to ensure the safety of students while respecting their personal autonomy. Mullins v. Pine Manor found that "[t]he fact that a college need not police the morals of its resident students... does not entitle it to abandon any effort to ensure their physical safety”. Right to a grievance filing process Dixon v. Alabama (1961) determined that when students' constitutional rights are not upheld, students are eligible to sue for damages in a court of law for monetary or material damages. Individuals may also file complaints regarding discrimination with the federal Office of Civil Rights (OCR). Right to protection from injury on campus A number of state courts have also found that institutions have a responsibility to prevent or make efforts to limit injury on campus from dangerous property and criminal conditions so long as injury is both foreseeable and preventable. Right to protection from injury in facilities under campus jurisdiction Knoll v. Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska (1999) found that institutions are responsible for ensuring the safety of facilities which are either under institutional jurisdiction or oversight. Institutions are, thus, responsible for institutionally owned dormitories and fraternities whether on campus or off campus and also for fraternities which may not be owned by the institution but are regulated by the institution. By taking on a regulatory role the institution also takes on this liability. Another state court found, |
that when students are not lawfully permitted to be on institutional property or in institutional buildings after hours, for instance, the institution is not responsible. Right to protection from foreseeable crime on campus Students should be safe from for seeable crime especially in light of past reports of crime, loitering or dangerous conditions. Institutions are required to take safety precautions including the monitoring of unauthorized personnel in dormitories, taking action against unauthorized personnel when they pose a threat to safety and ensuring adequate security measures are in place. Right to protection from injury caused by other students Students deserve protection from other students over whom the institution has oversight including voluntarily assumed jurisdiction e.g.: clubs, sororities, fraternities, teams. This, for instance, includes protection from foreseeable or preventable fraternity hazing even if fraternities are not located on institutional property. The institution also has a responsibility to inform itself of safety risks existent in institutionally regulated programs. State courts have found that institutions are not responsible, however, for screening exconvicts before admission. Employment rights Right to protection from sex discrimination in the workplace Students are protected from discrimination based on sex in any program or activity receiving federal funding except military, fraternity, sorority organizations. There are protections for both public and private employment. All employment opportunities must be merit based. Right to equal pay for sexes in the workplace All sexes have the right to equal pay for equal work performed in the workplace in institutions of higher education. This would include student employment. This may suggest that transgender people are also entitled to equal pay in the workplace. Right to protection from forced pregnancy leave Women do not have to go on mandatory pregnancy leave before birth, and the right to doctor prescribed leave during pregnancy. Right to the protection from sexual harassment in the workplace Sexual harassment is prohibited in both educational and workplace settings and applies also to both opposite and same sex harassment by employees. Right to active protection from sexual harassment in the workplace The 1997 Department of Education and Office of Civil Rights Sexual Harassment Guidelines find also that institutions are liable for incidences wherein the institution was aware or "should have been aware" of sexual harassment and took no immediate action. The majority of federal court cases involving educational institutions prohibit the maintenance of conditions which allow harassment by other students to continue. Right to |
protection from ability discrimination in the workplace Ability discrimination in federally funded and private programs and activities is prohibited under the 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. Individuals designated with a disability by a medical professional, legally recognized with a disability and deemed otherwise qualified are entitled to equal treatment and reasonable accommodations. The Supreme Court defined Otherwise qualified as an individual who can perform the required tasks in spite of rather than except for their disability. Right to protection from ability discrimination in employment recruitment The 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. This includes ability discrimination in recruitment. Individuals designated with a disability by a medical professional, legally recognized with a disability. Right to protection from ability discrimination in workplace discipline and dismissal The 1990 Americans With Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act in discipline and dismissal. Right to protection from age discrimination Age discrimination in federally funded programs is prohibited by the 1975 Age Discrimination Act. This act builds on the 1967 Age Discrimination in Employment Act. It provides protection from unequal treatment between people of different ages from any explicit or implied distinctions which effect the benefits of participation. Right to protection from race discrimination in employment Executive Order 11246 expanded upon the 1953 Dwight D. Eisenhower Executive Order 10479, which established an anti-discrimination committee to oversee governmental contracting. The 1967 Lyndon B. Johnson Executive Order 11375 also requires all facets of federal employment or federally contracted employment be regulated based on merit – this includes institutions of higher education. Right to protection from discrimination based on national origin in employment Individuals have the right to equal treatment regardless of national origin in employment settings so long as they are citizens or resident aliens of the United States. The 1986 Immigration and Reform Control Act also prohibits discrimination based on citizenship. State level rights In addition to the United States Constitution granting Freedom of Expression Rights to public school students, some state constitutions afford greater rights to public school students than those granted by the United States Constitution. For example, Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, sec. 82 grants broader rights to public secondary school schools regarding Rights of Students to Freedom of Expression. In Massachusetts, for instance, k-12 students are entitled to freedom of expression through speech, symbols, |
writing, publishing and peaceful assembly on school grounds. The Public secondary school legislation entitled "right of students to freedom of expression; limitations; definitions" says students have: "The right of students to freedom of expression in the public schools of the commonwealth shall not be abridged, provided that such right shall not cause any disruption or disorder within the school. Freedom of expression shall include without limitation, the rights and responsibilities of students, collectively and individually, (a) to express their views through speech and symbols, (b) to write, publish and disseminate their views, (c) to assemble peaceably on school property for the purpose of expressing their opinions. Any assembly planned by students during regularly scheduled school hours shall be held only at a time and place approved in advance by the school principal or his designee." The result is students in the public secondary schools in Massachusetts are only held to the “Tinker” standard regarding Freedom of Expression.

The Erbprinzliches Palais ('Palace of the hereditary prince') was a palace in Dessau, Saxony-Anhalt. It was on the Kavalierstrasse. The palace was also known as the Erbprinzenpalais or the Herzogliches Palais (ducal palace). Originally built for prince Frederick Henry Eugen of Anhalt-Dessau, it was later the residence of the Hereditary Prince and the Dukes of Anhalt. Today, the Dessau City Park is located on the grounds of the palace and its garden. History Leopold I, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau had two palaces built in the Kavalierstraße for both his sons Eugen and Moritz um 1740 around 1740. The northern one, which Eugen lived in until his death in 1781, consisted of a two-storey corps de logis with 17 bay windows. Two gateways connected it with two side pavilions, also two storeys high. All three structures were covered by mansard roofs. The facade was articulated by Tuscan colossal pilasters, the three central axes crowned by a triangular pediment. Prince Friedrich Heinrich Eugen von Anhalt-Dessau was most recently governor of the fortified town of Wittenberg in Electoral Saxony. When he was in Dessau, he lived in his palace on Kavalierstrasse. In 1780 the prince had a house built in his garden, in which he also wanted to be buried. The palace fell to Eugen's sister Henriette Amalie of Anhalt-Dessau in 1781 by inheritance, who gave it to her nephew, Leopold III. of Anhalt-Dessau in exchange for another palace. Prince Leopold III had Prince Eugene's garden house replaced by a burial chamber crowned by a squat obelisk (the "pyramid") on the north wall of the palace garden. This is where Eugen's coffin stood until it was transferred to the crypt of St. Mary's Church in 1926. The pyramid was redesigned as a memorial to soldiers of the 188th Infantry Regiment who died in World War I, survived World War II, and was demolished in 1952. The palace was handed over to the hereditary prince Frederick of Anhalt-Dessau in 1792 and was used as a hereditary prince's palace for the first time in its history. Frederick died in 1814, but his wife princess Amalie of Hesse-Homburg continued to use it until her death in 1846. During this time, the garden behind the palace building consisted of a regular hippodrome-like layout with the "pyramid" at the northern apex gradually expanded beyond the city wall. The landscaped grounds soon extended to the Kleine Kienheide to today's acacia |
grove and Tivoliberg, which was then called "Amalienberg" and had a small pavilion. Around 1800, a small orangery was built in the palace garden, which has been preserved. The well-proportioned building is completed by a high hipped roof and has a gabled central risalit on the south side, which opens into an exedra, which today is impaired by a modern porch. The building has been used for gastronomy since the 1950s (“tea house”) and a side wing was added for this purpose in 1966. When the later duke Frederick I. of Anhalt moved into the palace on Kavalierstraße after his marriage in 1854, the house once again became the seat of an hereditary prince. In 1874 Friedrich moved to the Dessauer Residenzschloss, the Hereditary Prince's Palace was to be extensively renovated. However, the building fabric was already in such poor condition and the beams were infested with fungus and wormy that the decision was made to build a new building. The demolition began on August 27, 1883, and the earthworks for the new building were carried out in the winter. Between 1884 and 1888 a new palace was constructed in the French Renaissance style based on a design by Hermann Ende and Wilhelm Böckmann from Berlin. Professor Lessing was commissioned with the interior design and was responsible for the festival and representation rooms. The workshop of the wood sculptor Gustav Kuntzsch, Wernigerode, supplied furniture and carvings for the interior. A stable was built at the same time as the palace. Dukes Frederick I. and Frederick II. lived in the palace one after the other. The house now became the Ducal Palace. After the first World War, the palace remained initially with the Ducal family, but was transferred to the state in 1926. The Dessau municipal council then made the decision to demolish the palace in 1927. The city park was created from the free area and the palace gardens behind it. The original intention was to build the new Friedrich Theater building here, which burned down in 1922. As a result of the global economic crisis in 1929, the theater project was postponed and the new Theater was built at a different location (Friedensplatz) between 1935 and 1938.

Darul Uloom Deoband is a Madrasa located in Saharanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, India, established on 30 May 1866. Its centennial conference was held on 21, 22 and 23 March 1980. The conference was inaugurated by Abdallah Ben Abdel Mohsen At-Turki, the representative of the Saudi Arabian king, and included Quran recitation by Abdul Basit 'Abd us-Samad from Egypt, an opening speech by the Madrasa's rector, Qari Muhammad Tayyib, and a speech by the Indian Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi. The conference concluded with a prayer by Qari Muhammad Tayyib and was broadcast live on the All India Radio. A 100 hectares area was prepared for the conference, with the number of participants ranging from 1.5 to 2 million, including 18,000 participants from outside the Indian subcontinent. In this gathering, more than ten thousand Madrasa graduates are awarded with honorary turban. In addition to supporting the Afghan mujahideen, the conference also included several initiatives against the Russian invasion in Afghanistan through the efforts of Minnatullah Rahmani. Alongside the main conference, a special seminar was organized to discuss the responsibilities and curriculum of the madrasa at Darul Hadith. Background In 1949, at a meeting in Darul Uloom Deoband, the centennial conference was proposed by Hifzur Rahman Seoharwi and Manzoor Nomani in the lifetime of Hussain Ahmed Madani, the purpose was to send a message to the government about the importance of Darul Uloom Deoband in the aftermath of the Partition of India. Prior to this, such a conference had been held in undivided India in April 1910. Finally, decisions were made at the end of the meeting, and an office was opened for this purpose. However, this conference cannot be organized for various reasons. In 1975, the centennial celebration of Darul Uloom Deoband's sister institution, Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama, was held. As a result of the event, the decisions of the Deoband Conference held on 21, 22, and 23 March 1980, were also widely publicized. The governments of India and Pakistan provided special facilities for participants in the conference through an agreement. The Government of Pakistan arranged a special train from Lahore to Attock, and the Government of India started a special train from Attock to Deoband. Venue An area of one million square meters is prepared for this conference. The area of the pandal was 6 lakh square feet. The stage is 10 feet high and 150x150 feet wide. There are |
400 guests on the stage and 150 journalist chairs on both sides. The gathering place starts from the western rail line and goes to the garden two and a half miles away in the east. GT Road is the northern boundary and Eidgah is the southern boundary. Camps are set up outside for incoming guests. Separate camps are set up for guests from each area, and boards are placed with the names of each area. Hand pumps are installed every three hundred yards for water. The food stalls are located in the north. Three lakh people sit under the shamiana, and the same amount of space is left outside the shamiana as an open field. The camps for those who stay overnight are behind them. General Session First session On 21 March 1980, the first session began at 2:00 pm after Jumma prayer. A running commentary of this first session was broadcast by All India Radio, New Delhi. Khalid of Saudi Arabia, King of Saudi Arabia's special representative, and delegation leader Abdallah Ben Abdel Mohsen At-Turki from Saudi Arabia were the chairman of this inaugural session. Kuwait's Minister of Awqaf Yusuf Al-Hadji inaugurated it. Six representative teams from Saudi Arabia participated in the event. While one representative from the Saudi Arabian government was nominated by King Khalid, the other five representative teams were formed with significant personalities from international organizations and universities, including Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Fahd who sent a message. Representatives from Jordan's King, Oman's Sultan, Egypt's President Sadat (led by Kuwait's Minister Abdul Al-Munim Al-Namareh), Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Sri Lanka, and Nepal also participated in the event. A delegation from the Islamic organizations of the United Kingdom and Syed Ehtesham Qazimi from the United States also attended. The first session of this general session was inaugurated by the recitation of Quran by renowned contemporary reciter Abdul Basit 'Abd us-Samad. Second session The second session started at 9 pm on March 21 and ended at 1 am. The session began after recitation of the Quran.

Ever since the 2007 municipal reform, and prior to this election, the election results had led to Niels Hörup from Venstre becoming mayor. All the elections had given Venstre 8 seats. In the 2017 election, the blue bloc had won 11 seats. However this election was quite remarkable in multiple ways. First off this would become Liberal Alliance best result in any municipality in the 2017 Danish local elections, as they won 14.9% of the vote, an 8% increase compared to 2017. This would also be the only municipal election in 2017 where no party won above 20% of the vote. The result would be very split, with 5 parties winning 3 or 4 seats. Venstre would still become the party to receive the most votes, but would lose 4 seats. On election night, at first, it looked like the Conservatives had won the mayor's position. However to great frustration from the Conservatives, the Liberal Alliance had decided to support the Social Democrats. The day following the election, Jonas Ring Madsen from the Social Democrats could declare that he had secured the mayor's position. On November 22, 2021, however, Emil Blücher from Liberal Alliance could announce that he would become the new mayor, as the Conservatives, Venstre and local party Havdrup Listen supported him as the new mayor. This would mark the first mayor position of Liberal Alliance. Electoral system For elections to Danish municipalities, a number varying from 9 to 31 are chosen to be elected to the municipal council.

Miss Grand Singapore is a national title bestowed upon a woman chosen to represent Singapore at Miss Grand International, an annual international beauty pageant promoting peace and opposing all forms of conflict. It was first introduced in 2013, when the first runner-up Miss World Singapore 2013, Elizabeth Houghton, was appointed to join the Miss Grand International 2013 contest in Thailand. After that, the license was transferred to different organizers until an organizer led by Iqmal Muhammad, Perada International, obtained the franchise in 2022. Since the first debutants in 2013, Singapore's representatives have never secured any placements at the Miss Grand International pageant. History Singapore debuted in Miss Grand International in 2013, and the franchise was under the Miss World Singapore contest, which appointed the first runner-up of Miss World Singapore 2013, Elizabeth Houghton, to represent the country in the inaugural edition of Miss Grand International in Thailand. However, after the mentioned candidate was disqualified and sent back by the international organization before finishing the pageant tournament, their partnership was discontinued. Later in 2014, the franchise was obtained by a real estate development company, Islandia Group Limited. Under the direction of the Islandia Group, the national pageant named "Miss Singapore Islandia" was held in 2014 as an entertainment event for the Singapore National Day Charity Gala to promote a new real estate project invested in the Riau Islands of Indonesia, "The Islandia." The event was held at the Golden Mile Complex, which is largely an ethnic enclave for the Thai population in Singapore. The winner of the contest, Jasy ln Tan, was sent to compete at the pageant in Thailand. After the Islandia Group stopped all marketing campaigns for the aforementioned project on December 1, 2014, the license was purchased by the pageant organizer led by Alex Liu, Exclusive Resource Marketing Pte., Ltd. (ERM Singapore Marketing Group), which served as the national licensee for Miss Grand International Singapore from 2015 to 2018. The country representatives during that time were either appointed or determined through the Miss Singapore Beauty Pageant. After three years of absence, Singapore rejoined the competition in 2022, the franchise was obtained by a medical doctor, Iqmal Muhammad, who is currently serving as the director of Perada International. Titleholders The following is a list of Singapore representatives at the Miss Grand International contest. Controversy In the inaugural edition of the Miss Grand International pageant held in Thailand in 2013, |
the Singaporean representative, Elizabeth Houghton, was disqualified from the contest before finishing the pageant tournament. The vice president of the international firms stated that her misbehavior, Houghton violated the hotel's no-smoking rule by smoking in public and did not join most of the pageant activities by claiming to be unwell, causing the organizer to need her to retire from the competition. Houghton, however, confirmed with one of the management staff that guests can smoke on the balconies. Houghton additionally claimed the reason for such an incident might be that she stood up for other contestants, Miss Germany and Miss Sweden, who were teased by the organizer for being fat, and as a result, she got blacklisted. In addition to Miss Singapore, the representatives of Denmark, Sweden, and Ukraine also withdrew before entering the grand final round of the aforementioned international pageant.

Grand Junction Regional Center is a center in Grand Junction, Colorado, providing services to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It was previously known as the State Home for Mental Defectives. It is located on the site of the now-defunct Teller Institute, an off-reservation boarding school that attempted to assimilate Indigenous people from the Western United States. Teller Indian School Colorado Senator Henry Teller petitioned Congress for approval for an off-reservation boarding school with the aim of assimilating the Ute tribe. The school was modeled after the Carlisle Indian School in Pennsylvania. According to Pratt, the founder of the Carlisle Indian School, assimilation was only possible with total removal from their home and culture and immersion in mainstream white society. The Grand Junction Indian School was opened in 1886. It was soon renamed the Teller Indian School after Henry Teller, and later the Teller Institute. The Teller School was the seventh federal off-reservation boarding school and the first in the mountain west. The boarding school was intended to provide an eight-grade education and industrial training. The school was intended to be self-sufficient with students forced to do manual labor. Teachers taught boys to "till the soil, shove the plane, strike the anvil, and drive the peg" and girls "do the work of the good and skillful housewife." However, the school had issues growing crops due to the poor land, as well as issues with drinking water and the sewage system. The Ute did not want to send their children to the boarding school. The Whiteriver and Uncompahgre Ute had been forcibly expelled from their lands in Colorado and sent to the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in Utah. In 1887, the Colorado state government claimed the Utes had violated state game laws and invaded a Ute encampment in southwest Colorado, capturing one Ute boy and killing another Ute boy. When the Ute fled to the Utah, the Governor of Colorado called on the militia to apprehend them. Indian Agent T. A. Byrnes claimed the Indian parents from the Ouray agency were not prepared to send their children to the Grand Junction School at Colorado, for they were told that any "Ute Indians crossing the Colorado line would be shot on sight."

The Heatwave Lasted Four Days is a Canadian thriller drama film, directed by Douglas Jackson and released in 1975. The film stars Gordon Pinsent as Cliff Reynolds, a television news cameraman in Montreal who becomes drawn into the city's criminal underworld after witnessing a heroin deal while filming a news report. The cast also includes Lawrence Dane, Alexandra Stewart, Domini Blythe, Jon Granik, Al Waxman, and Walter Massey, as well as cameo appearances by real-life CFCF-TV journalists Andrew Marquis and Don McGowan as colleagues of Reynolds. Background The film was made as part of the National Film Board of Canada's "Filmglish" series, an experiment in producing films that could function both as commercial entertainment when screened as a feature film, and as educational material when edited into a series of 20 to 30 minute short films to be screened in English as a Second Language classrooms and paired with a lesson on various words and phrases used in the dialogue. The NFB initiated the project after having some success repackaging its 1962 film Drylanders as a set of shorter films for classroom use, and decided in the early 1970s to experiment with making new films that were designed for that dual use from the outset. Other films in the series included Bernard Devlin's A Case of Eggs, Rudi Dorn's A Moving Experience, John Howe's A Star Is Lost! and Michael Scott's The Winner (Albert la grenouille), although Heatwave was the only one of the five newer films that was relatively well received by critics or audiences. Jackson noted that one of the key limitations imposed by the educational aspect of the film's mandate was that even though the film was set in Montreal, he was unable to depict any characters speaking with a French Canadian accent. Distribution The film premiered on April 28, 1975, as an episode of the ABC late-night anthology Wide World of Entertainment. It was promoted as the first Canadian feature film ever sold to network television in the United States. It received strong ratings in that broadcast, with ABC purchasing rights to rerun it later in the year. It was later broadcast by CBC Television in Canada on August 10. Reception The film was submitted to the 26th Canadian Film Awards. Martin Knelman of The Globe and Mail erroneously listed it as a finalist for Best Motion Picture on October 9, but the paper published a |
correction a few days later indicating that it was not up for Best Picture, and instead Knelman had omitted the film Lions for Breakfast from his earlier report.

Ever since the 2007 municipal reform, the Social Democrats had held the mayor's position in Roskilde Municipality. In the 2017 election, they had won their first absolute majority in the municipality. It would be Joy Mogensen who would continue following this result. Following the 2019 Danish general election, Joy Mogensen received the offer to become minister of Church and Culture. She would eventually accept and step down as mayor. Tomas Breddam would become the new mayor following the resignation of Joy Mogensen. Joy Mogensen had received the 5th highest number of personal votes in the 2017 Danish local elections, despite Roskilde Municipality only being the 14th most populated municipality in Denmark. Her popularity would become even more evident, when the results of this election had been counted. The Social Democrats would lose 7 seats, and win 9 seats in total. Danish Social Liberal Party had prior to the election said that they'd neither support a red nor blue mayor. Without them, the red bloc had won 15 seats, while the blue bloc had won 14 seats. However Danish Social Liberal Party would later announce, that would be ready to support Jette Tjørnelund from Venstre as mayor. This came after the other blue parties wanted to have Lars Lindskov from the Conservatives become the new mayor. However, Liberal Alliance was sceptical on Jette Tjørnelund becoming the mayor. Therefore, no candidate appeared to have a majority behind them. In the end Danish People's Party decided to join the red bloc parties of the Social Democrats, Green Left and Red–Green Alliance. This would see Tomas Breddam continue as mayor. Electoral system For elections to Danish municipalities, a number varying from 9 to 31 are chosen to be elected to the municipal council.

The Kamenac Monastery is located a few kilometers from Gruža, Serbia, in the village of Čestin, at the foot of the Gledić Mountains. The monastery does not have a treasury or written information about its origin and duration. According to tradition, according to the shape of the church and the importance that the monastery had over the centuries, the origin of the monastery is linked to the despot Stefan Lazarević at the end of the 14th and the beginning of the 15th century. History The year 1416 is stated as the year the construction of the monastery church began, and the construction was completed in 1426. Kamenac Monastery is also mentioned in Turkish sources from 1528 and 1530. The monastery church was rebuilt in 1547 with the efforts of Abbot Teofan, priest Simeon and the Kosirović family, as evidenced by the inscription above the entrance portal to the nave. The monastery was destroyed after the arrival of the Turks in these parts, in the middle of the 15th century, but it is unknown how much it was damaged and how much it was rebuilt. The second restoration of the monastery was carried out in 1700, when the monk Ioannikije from Morača repaired it and surrounded it with a stone wall. During the 18th century, it became the method of the neighboring Kalenić monastery. Austrian sources from the twenties and thirties of the 18th century also mention the monastery. At the beginning of the 19th century, Kamenac suffered a lot in the wars with the Turks, so in that century a lot of construction and work was done on the monastery. Those were minor demands on the church and lodgings. In 1830, the church was covered with sheet metal, in 1860, the north door of the church was made, and in 1870, the church was painted and an iconostasis, the work of Dimitrije Posniković, was installed. In the 20th century, especially in the last years of the century, intensive work on the arrangement of the monastery complex continued. A monument in the form of an obelisk to the soldiers of the Liberation Wars of 1912-1918 was placed in the monastery gate. under which the remains of unknown thirty-six warriors from Podrinje were buried. From the earliest times, the Kamenac monastery was a male monastery. According to the decision of the competent church authorities, it was transformed into a women's monastery in |
1966 and its first abbess was Irina Sarić, thanks to her efforts the monastery was restored and the monastery lodge was built, which was consecrated in 1979. Аppearance of the monastery church The church has a concise trikonchos shape with a slender dome above the central area of the nave. It is vaulted with a semi-shaped vault. It is built of crushed stone and the floor is made of square and rectangular marble slabs. Of the plastic decoration on the facades, the richly profiled cornice of the Morava character stands out. In the west, a square narthex vaulted with a blind dome was added later. There is a painting from 1870 on the walls inside the church and the narthex. The layout of the frescoes is common for church painting of this period, The wooden two-story iconostasis, the work of the famous icon painter Dimitrije Posniković, consists of 21 icons of wooden parapet panels. Cultural monument The Kamenac Monastery has been under the protection of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments in Kragujevac since 1969. Right next to the church is one of the oldest schools in liberated Serbia, founded in 1818 by Dr. Nikolaj Nikolajević Gružanin, which still operates today as a branch of the "Rada Šubakić" Elementary School in Gruža.

Following the 2017 election, Christina Krzyrosiak Hansen from the Social Democrats had become mayor, after an agreement between the Green Left, Danish People's Party and the Red–Green Alliance. In 2017, DR published an article naming Holbæk Municipality as the country's poorest municipality In 2020, TV2 Øst could reveal that things were improving in the municipality. The year before, Zetland had also made an article explaining that Holbæk had improved a lot since the new mayor. These things would appear to have gained support for the continuation of Christina Krzyrosiak Hansen as mayor. The results would see the Social Democrats going from 9 seats, to 19 seats, 4 more than needed for an absolute majority. Christina Krzyrosiak Hansen would become the candidate to receive the 2nd highest number of personal votes in the 2017 Danish local elections, despite Holbæk only having 19th largest population of the 98 Danish municipalities. This would make an easy pathway for her to continue as mayor. Electoral system For elections to Danish municipalities, a number varying from 9 to 31 are chosen to be elected to the municipal council.

Divas Nightclub & Bar was a San Francisco nightclub located at 1081 Post Street in the Polk Gulch neighborhood of San Francisco, California, where it was located since 1998, prior to closing. With three floors, the club catered predominately to trans women and their admirers, until it closed on March 30, 2019.

History In 1989 Joseph Jurkans and Mark Gilpin opened the Motherlode at 1002 Post Street (corner of Post and Larkin) in San Francisco. The Motherlode was the predecessor of Divas. In 1998 Mark Gilpin (Joseph Jurkans having by that time died) moved the establishment across the street, less than a block away, to 1081 Post Street. Both the Motherlode and subsequently Divas received sustained prolonged community opposition from people and entities, including: The First Apostolic Church, community organizations Save Our Streets and the Polk Street District Merchants’ Association, and Mayor (and former police chief) Frank Jordan.

"Don't Play with It" is a single by American rapper Lola Brooke featuring American rapper Billy B. It was released in May 2021 and produced by Dizzy Banko. The song was a sleeper hit, gaining traction through the video-sharing app TikTok in 2022 and becoming the breakout hit of both artists. Background In an interview with Brooklyn Magazine, when asked how the song came about, Lola Brooke stated, "I was tired of people playing with me, for real. That's really what it was." Brooke was at home when Dizzy Banko was playing her some beats over the phone, and after hearing one of the beats, immediately told him to send it to her. She said, "I was listening to that and I was like 'Don't play with it, don't play with it, don't play with it!'" The song was originally a freestyle; according to Brooke, "I was walking back and forth in the house, and I was like, 'Don't play with it, don't play with it' and I just kept going." After recording the song in the studio, she left an open verse, eventually choosing rapper Billy B for a guest appearance because they were both from Brooklyn. Release and promotion The song was released on May 14, 2021, along with a music video. Lola Brooke garnered further recognition for the song with a performance on "From the Block" in November 2021. It caught widespread attention via TikTok in 2022; by October of that year, the video surpassed over 500,000 views. The song considerably increased in streams on Spotify, amassing two million streams in November 2022.

Schiit Audio (commonly referred to as Schiit) is an American privately held audio company founded in June 2010 that specializes in the design, development, and production of various high-fidelity audio products targeted at the audiophile market, such as standalone digital to analog converters (DACs), headphone amplifiers, equalizers, preamplifiers, and speaker amplifiers, as well as combination DAC and amplifier products. The company is based in California with additional manufacturing operations in Texas. History 2010-2013: Founding, initial product launches The company was founded in June 2010 by Jason Stoddard and Mike Moffat. The company announced its first products, the Asgard and Valhalla headphone amplifiers, on June 1, 2010, with a launch date of July 21, 2010, and August 15, 2010, respectively. Schiit later announced Lyr, a "hybrid" high-power headphone amplifier, on December 28, 2010, with expected availability in March 2011. In June 2011, Schiit announced a user-upgradable digital to analog converter called Bifrost, a standalone DAC available from to depending on whether or not the user wanted USB input. The Bifrost was user-upgradable in that it allowed users to install optional upgrade cards that would update the Bifrost's DAC or USB capabilities upon "meaningful changes being made to USB or digital to analog conversion technology". Products Digital-to-analog converters Schiit designs, develops and manufactures several standalone digital-to-analog converters (DACs), with the first DAC released by Schiit being the Bifrost, having been released in 2011. Several other DACs have since been released by Schiit, such as the Modi, Modius, and the Gungnir. These DACs can cost anywhere from to and vary in features and components used to develop them. These DACs convert a digital signal sent by a personal computer, smartphone or various other electronic devices to an analog signal that can then be decoded by a separate device typically connected via RCA cables such as a speaker amplifier or headphone amplifier in order to transmit audio to headphones, speakers, in-ear monitors, and other audio devices. Common inputs available on these DACs include S/PDIF (coaxial and TOSLINK) as well as USB. Schiit primarily designs their DACs around digital-to-analog integrated circuits (ICs) manufactured by ESS Technology (ESS), Analog Devices, and Texas Instruments (TI), such as the ESS 9018/9028 and the TI DAC8812. Audio ICs manufactured by AKM Semiconductor, Inc. (AKM) were previously used, however in November 2020 a fire broke out at AKM's primary manufacturing facility, causing Schiit and other manufacturers of audio equipment to |
switch over to competing audio IC manufacturers, such as previously mentioned ESS, due to the fire destroying the facility. Schiit began the process of moving over to ESS audio ICs in August 2021, with the release of a new installable "upgrade card" that replaced the AK4490 audio IC used in their older upgrade cards with the ES9028.

On 11 February 2023, blasphemy suspect Waris was lynched in Nankana Sahib District, Pakistan. Background Blasphemy is a very serious crime in Pakistan, for which the maximum penalty is death. Pakistan has sentenced people convicted of blasphemy to death, although it has not executed any of them. Some people who were accused of blasphemy have been lynched, including Priyantha Kumara in Sialkot, Punjab, in 2021 and Mushtaq Ahmed in Tulamba, Punjab, in 2022. International and national human rights groups say that blasphemy accusations have often been used to intimidate religious minorities.

Muhammad Mahmoud Al-Zubairi (; 1910 – 1 April 1965) was a Yemeni poet, politician, and revolutionary. He is considered to be Yemen's greatest poet in the twentieth century and one of the country's most celebrated authors. He has been known as "Abu Al-Ahrar (the father of freemen) and "the poet of Yemen". Biography Muhammad was born in 1910 in Sanaa in a middle-class family and grew up as an orphan. He studied his basic education at Sanaa religious schools and in 1939 he moved to Cairo to continue his higher education at Cairo University. He returned to Sanaa in 1941, but he was imprisoned by Imam Yahya as he criticized and opposed the Imamate. He was released a year later and moved to Taiz and then to Aden and established a political party "Liberal Party" in 1944. Following the Dustor or Constitutional Revolution in 1948 that led to the death of Imam Yahya and the establishment of a new government, Muhammad returned to Sanaa and was appointed as Minister of Knowledge. However, the revolution failed weeks later as Imam Yahy's son Ahmed restored the monarchy, and Al-Zubairi had to leave Sanaa to Aden again and then to Pakistan. When the 26 September Revolution erupted against Imam Ahmed in 1962, he went back to the country and hold the position of Minister of Education. He was later appointed as Deputy Prime Minister and a member of the Revolutionary Council until he quit in 1964. On 1 April 1965 he was assassinated in Barat northern Sana'a.

Richard Powers (c.1844 – May 11, 1929) was an Irish-born American labor union leader. Powers was born in Ireland, and emigrated to the United States in 1861, settling in New York City. He served in the Union Army during the American Civil War, then relocated to Chicago. He became a sailor, working on the Great Lakes, and in 1877, he was a founding member of a union for lumber unloaders. This inspired him, in 1878, to found the Lake Seamen's Union, becoming its first president. In 1881, Powers was a founding member of the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions (FOTLU), and was elected as its first president, serving a single term.

Richard Jabulani Nyauza (born 1970) is a South African serial killer and rapist who murdered 16 women in and around the Rossway Quarry. Shortly after becoming infected with HIV in 2002, Nyauza murdered his first five victims near Olievenhoutbosch. Later that year, he was arrested for attempting to rape a child, but was released in 2005 after being found not guilty. Weeks later, he began murdering women again in an area about 2.8 kilometers away from the area the original murders occurred in. Nyauza murdered 11 more women until his arrest in 2006. Following his trial, he was found guilty and given 16 life sentences as well an additional 140 years imprisonment. Murders After a woman infected him with HIV, Nyauza grew a hatred towards women, believing that they did not deserve to live. Between January and September 2002, the bodies of five unidentified black women were discovered along the Riet River outside of Olievenhoutbosch township in Pretoria. Investigators initially believed the murders were connected to the "Highwayman" serial killer, who was identified as Elias Chauke in November 2002. However, Chauke was ruled out as the perpetrator after it was learned that he had been imprisoned for unrelated reasons during the quarry murder series. Investigators soon exhausted all leads and the case became inactive. Shortly after murdering his fifth victim, Nyauza was arrested for attempting to rape his girlfriend's nine-year-old daughter. In November 2005, he was found not guilty and released. Five weeks later, he resumed committing crimes. The body of his sixth victim was found on 2 January 2006. Although she had been strangled as opposed to Nyauza's previous method of bludgeoning his victims, the killing was quickly linked to the others because of its close proximity to the 2002 murders. A task force was formed in May to apprehend the perpetrator after five more victims had been found. Nyauza lured his victims, all black women, by offering them jobs. He then murdered them, and sometimes raped them, after the two reached a secluded location. As time passed, Nyauza switched from prominently bludgeoning his victims with stones, and in one case, a plank of wood, to strangling them. In some cases, he stabbed victims with a screwdriver. In every case, Nyauza took the murder weapon with him rather than leaving it at the crime scene. 14 of the 16 victims were found fully or partially naked, and Nyauza's semen |
was recovered from four of them. Surviving victim On 17 August 2006, Nyauza noticed a pregnant woman, on her way to Botswana, standing outside of the police station in Magaliesburg police station. After pulling up next to her in his blue bakkie, he offered her a ride, to which she obliged. Nyauza first drove to a farm to drop off ostrich feed, and afterwards, the two drove down a dirt road. Suddenly, he stopped his bakkie, got out of the vehicle, and stabbed the woman in the chest with a screwdriver upon opening the passenger door. He proceeded to rob her, tie her up with her own shoelaces, close the vehicle's door, and drove until they reached a ditch. Once at the ditch, Nyauza forced the woman out of his vehicle and told her to look him in the eyes. She pleaded with him, telling him to stop because he had already taken her belongings. Nyauza ordered her to shut up and stabbed her in the forehead. As she screamed in pain, he scolded her for making noise. He twisted her own nightgown around her neck and began to strangle her. Nyauza then stabbed her in the back of the neck, removed her undergarments, and put a blanket over her before driving off. The woman managed to survive, but she lost her baby, eyesight in her left eye, and the use of one of her hands as a result of the attack. List of murders Arrest and legal proceedings On 5 September 2006, investigators realized that there had been a match between the DNA found on the fifth victim and Nyauza. Nyauza's DNA had been taken after his arrest for attempted rape in 2002. At the time, this was not typical in South Africa, as DNA was only used for case investigation, and no DNA had been left on the victim. A short time later, the DNA found on the fifth victim had also been entered into the database. However, it was not required that anyone monitor the system at that time, so the match had gone unchecked for four years. Police gathered outside of Nyauza's house, waiting for him to come home to arrest him. Nyauza had taken cell phones from several of his victims. One of the phones, Selina Mahlangu's, had still been pinging off cell towers in Olievenhoutbosch. They began tracking the phone and noticed it traveling |
closer and closer to Nyauza's house, indicating that he was close by. Police then saw two men walking towards the home, Nyauza and his brother. Nyauza was soon detained and placed in a police car. At the same time, police searched his home and discovered more items belonging to his victims. In custody, Nyauza confessed to all of his crimes. Additionally, he claimed to have murdered a man during a contract killing, as well as two robberies. However, no evidence of this was found. Nyauza pleaded not guilty, and his trial began on 23 October 2007. A total of 18 witnesses testified at his trial, one of whom was his surviving victim. As the victim recounted her attack, Nyauza would not stop laughing at her. Although he had pointed seven crime scenes out to the police, Nyauza claimed that the police had drugged him instead of giving him his HIV medication. Police had recorded Nyauza pointing out the crime scenes, and he showed no visible signs of intoxication, so the judge dismissed his claim. When asked why his semen was found in several of the victims, he claimed that it was because he was a man of exceptional sexual prowess who slept with many women. Although there was only direct evidence against Nyauza in eight of the murders, experts used linkage analysis to argue why all 16 cases had to have been committed by the same offender. On 5 November 2007, Nyauza was found guilty of 16 counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, four counts of rape, and three counts of robbery. He was given 16 life sentences for the murders and an additional 140 years in prison for the rest of his crimes.

In early July 2022, two separate massacres occurred in Bourasso, Kossi Province and Namissiguima Department, Yatenga Province in Burkina Faso. The massacre in Bourasso killed 22 people, and the one in Namissiguima killed 12. Prelude Northern Burkina Faso has been a hub of jihadist activity since early 2015, with the provinces of Kossi and Yatenga each seeing lots of violence. The towns of Bourasso and Namissiguima, both some of the largest population centers in those areas, have been attacked and battled over numerous times. Prior to the June 30 attack, an attack on June 9 killed four policemen in Kossi and nine were killed in the neighboring province in Séno. Jihadist attacks against civilians had risen since spring 2022, with dozens of attacks in the north of Burkina Faso. Bourasso massacre Around 5 pm on July 3, 2022, militants from Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS) entered the town of Bourasso, firing in the air and leaving shortly after. They returned later that night, threatening churchgoers and prompting arguments and confrontations in front of the local church. Passerby joined these arguments, as this instance was not the first time ISGS militants had entered Bourasso. ISGS then fired on civilians in front of the church, immediately killing 14. They then headed for the center of the village, killing another 20 inhabitants according to the local priest. Survivors of the massacre allege the death toll is over thirty, although the diocese of Nouna announced an official count of 22 dead. The governor of Boucle du Mouhoun region where Bourasso is located, Babo Pierre Bassinga, corroborated the death toll of 22 and claimed the wounded were sent to hospitals in Nouna and Dédougou. Namissiguia massacre On July 2, 2022, an attack on Namissiguima in Yatenga Province killed around a dozen people. In the attack, the Burkinabe government stated that six VDP civilian militiamen were killed, along with three civilians, although an anonymous local security source claimed the death toll was around twelve. Following the attack, the Burkinabe government claimed to have clashed with the perpetrators near Barga-Mossi, Burkina Faso, killing seven jihadists and wounding an unknown amount more.

The Tomb of Mary of Burgundy is a funeral monument completed in 1501 built to cover the grave of Mary of Burgundy in the Church of Our Lady, Bruges. Mary died in March 1482 aged 25, following injuries sustained at a hunting accident a number of weeks earlier. Mary was born in 1457 as the only child of Charles and Isabella of Bourbon (1434-1465). On her father's death at the Battle of Nancy, she became the last of the House of Valois-Burgundy and inherited the Duchy of Burgundy, making her the then richest woman in Europe. The tomb was commissioned by her husband Maximilian of Austria and their eldest child Philip the Fair, based on a rough design specified during her deathbed wishes. A number of designers, sculptors and stonemasons, perhaps headed by Renier van Thienen, were involved in its creation; records suggest contributions by Jan Borman, Pieter de Backere and Jehan Hervy, although the chronology and the extent of their individual work is unknown. Death of Mary of Burgundy Mary was born in 1457 as the only child of Charles the Bold (b. 1477) and Isabella of Bourbon (d. 1465). Mary was eight years old when her mother died. She was a well recogonised patron of the arts and aged 18 commissioned a tomb for her mother (which she had significant input into Isabella's tomb, it was still incomplete by the time of her own early death). She oversaw and approved many elements of its design—as she later did with the tomb for her uncle Jacques de Bourbon. In order to counter the French king Louis XI's attempts to bring Burgundy under his control, Charles (who had spent most of his life battling Louis) betrothed Mary to Maximilian of Austria in 1476. They married the following year when they were both in their early teens. Although marriage arranged, the two developed a romantic bond and were faithful to each other. As Charles had planned, their union allowed his faily to retain parts of the Burgundian lands, although the inheritance line changed from the House of Valois to the House of Habsburg. Charles was killed at the Battle of Nancy in January 1477 while fighting against Louis XI, making her, at 19 years, the sole inheritor of the Duchy of Burgundy and the last of the House of Valois-Burgundy. Mary was falconing on a hunt with Maximilian and knights of |
the court in a forest outside Bruges when her horse fell over and threw her in a ditch, before landed on top of her. Having sustained massive internal injures and a broken back, she died several days later on 27 March, having dictated a will and testament that outlined her wishes for a monument which she requested that she would be buried —according to an 1844 reproduction of the will— "honorably according to her station" and that a "large and beautiful" image of the Virgin was placed "before this sepulcher or sarcophagus." As per her dying wishes, she was buried under the choir of the Church of Our Lady, Bruges on 3 April 1482. Bruges was then at the height of its commercial and cultural importance and was the birthplace of her son, while it was important to Mary that the church bore her own namesake. Although the court was near bankrupt at the time, Maximilian threw a lavish ceremony, partly funded by melting down and selling off their cutlery and silverware. Due to these financial constraints, work of Mary's tomb did not begin until at least September 1488. Commission and attribution Mary's dying wishes were carried out under the patronage of her husband and her eldest son Philip the Fair (d. 1506). Although the circumstances of the build was not well documented, it known that from archives dated 1488 the project was overseen by the executor of her will, Thibault Barradot (d. 1503), a high ranking financier who had been her Maître de la Chambre des Denier (Master of Coins), and was appointed to the project almost immediately after her death. Barradot had difficultly raising funds for the monument due to political and legal complications around the distribution of Mary's wealth to her two surviving children. He first had to pay off substantial debts to her creditors, which he funded via rents and taxes from her estates. Eventually he was able to purchase the marble from the stone merchant Martin de Bouge for 30 pounds and hire a number of well known designers and sculptors. Records indicate that stonemasons were working on the monument c. July 1493 when Renier van Thienen was formally contracted to oversee the initial build and to hire masons and stonecutters to begin work on the base, although he may have been involved in it planning since 1491.

to the sequence and specific attributions of individual artists, art historians generally attribute a group that includes Jan Borman Pieter de Backere and Jehan Hervy, although the chronology and the extent of their individual contributions is uncertain. Description Unlike the tombs of her ancestors reaching back to that of Philip the Bold (d. 1404) and his son John the Fearless (d. 1419), Mary's is made from metal rather than alabaster and marble, and lacks the characteristic mourners ("weepers" or "pleurants") found on the sides of most Burgundian tombs, a deliberate choice made to instead honour both sides of her family via heraldry. The monument consists of Mary's gilt-bronze effigy placed over a hollow rectangular tomb made of black stone. The tomb's long-sides are heavily decorated with gilt-bronze branches of her family tree, and hanging enameled shields displaying the coats of arms of her ancestors. The short-side below her head contains her own coats of arms. Her effigy is recumbent (that is lying flat). Her head rests on a pillow, and her hands are joined and raised in prayer. Her epitaph appears in a long scroll that has angels on either side. It is written in gothic script and reads "Marie de Bourgongne Archiduchesse daustrice fille Charles duc de Bourgongne et de Ysabeau de Bourbon." References Sources Armstrong, Charles Arthur John.

Månglare was a historical profession in Sweden. A female månglare was often called månglerska. A månglare was essentially a street vendor with permission from the city authorities to engage in trade without being a member of the Guild, which was otherwise a necessity for anyone wishing to engage in business in the city. The profession was dissolved along with the Guilds by the Decree of Extended Freedom of Trade (Sweden) of 1864. History In the Middle Ages, the månglare were essentially the sales people who sold the goods of the merchants in the city markets. Since they were not member of the Guilds which normally had the trade monopoly in the cities, special regulations were introduced to avoid conflict between them and the Guilds. The Law of 1623 stated that the profession of månglare should be reserved for poor city people in need of supporting themselves. The regulation of 1749 stipulated that a månglare permit should foremost be granted to poor urban women who could not otherwise support themselwes. While the profession was never reserved for women, and male månglare always existed, women where in clear majority among the månglare from 1749 onward. The city authorities normally granted a månglare permit to a married woman whose husband was unable to support the family, a divorced woman, an abandoned wife, or a widow. While it was not forbidden for an unmarried woman to apply for a månglare permit, the permit was essentially granted to women who could argue that they were in need of financial support and had no other way to do so, and since young unmarried women could always became domestic workers (the most common profession for any working woman), while married women were customarily never employed as maidservants, a young unmarried woman was less likely getting her application approved. Definition A månglare was essentially engaged in small trade. There were three different categories of månglare: 1) "walking månglare", who walked the streets as street vendors selling their goods from baskets; 2) "sitting månglare", who sold their goods sitting behind a stand in the market place of the squares; 3) and finnally "sale from shop", which described those månglare allowed to sell their goods indoors from an actual shop. Månglare were primarily given permission to sell goods which were not included in the goods reserved by the Guilds. Typical goods sold by the månglare were fruit, birds, sea food, |
sausage, eggs, berries, nuts, chicken, coockies and pastries, non-valuable ornaments and decorations, knitted works, buttons, ribbons, cheap jewelry, sewing tools, collars, smaller clothing articles and second hand clothing and other used goods. The månglare were given dispensation from the Guilds, and in exchange there were regulations preventing the månglare from growing to big. A månglare were not allowed to delegate their business and employ adult men or young women as assistants, which acted as a regulation preventing their business to expand beyond what was needed to support the individual månglare. Despite these regulations, there are examples of månglare who achieved remarkable success and became rich on their business, such as Maria Boberg. Position The Guilds were normally hostile toward the månglare because the månglare had been given a dispensation to conduct trades normally monopolised by the Guilds, and it was common with legal disputes between the Guilds and the månglare, in which the Guilds accused the månglare of having abused their dispensation: in these disputes, the Guilds were often hostile toward the månglare, while the city authorities normally took the side of the månglare if they were female, because of the limited professional opportunities of women, who would otherwise need to rely on charity or poor relief. Dissolution The 1846 law Handelsordningen undermined the Guilds: from this year, a månglare permit was issued to anyone who applied for it and not only to on the strict grounds of a need of self support, and the månglare business were given more generous terms to expand. In the Decree of Extended Freedom of Trade (Sweden) of 1864, both the Guilds as well as the profession of månglare was dissolved and free trade established, enabling anyone with sufficient funds to start a business and to expand it freely, and many successful former månglare, such as Charlotta Christina Boberg and Johanna Strömberg, became shop owners.
