Sherry Harris

Sherry D. Harris (born February 27, 1957) is an American activist and politician who served as a member of the Seattle City Council from 1992 to 1996. She was the first out black lesbian elected to public office in the United States. Early life and education Harris was born on February 27, 1957, in Newark, New Jersey, to a single mom. She grew up in Newark's ghetto as an only child and experienced poverty and other hardships, including the 1967 Newark riots. In 1978, Harris graduated from New Jersey Institute of Technology with a degree in Human Factors Engineering (Ergonomic Engineering) and later earned her Master of Business Administration. After college she would move to Seattle, working at Pacific Northwest Bell Telephone Company and Boeing as an engineer. She was active in community activism around Seattle focusing on city improvements, women's rights, and LGBT rights. Seattle City Council 1991 Election Harris ran in the 1991 Seattle City Council against longtime councilmember Sam Smith, who was the first Black person to be elected to the Seattle City Council. Due to health complications related to diabetes, and long hospitalizations, Smith was unable to run an effect campaign against Harris. In the November general election, Harris won in a landslide with 65% of the vote compared to Smith's 35%. Harris would be the first elected black lesbian to elected office. Tenure While in office, Harris chaired the council's Housing, Health, Human Services and Education Committee and served on the Transportation and Utilities Committees. She co-sponsored and supported several pro-LGBT legislation and would help raise over $1 million to fight anti-gay ordinances in the state of Washington. Harris was also instrumental in adding 50 additional low-income housing units at Sand Point. Although her historic status as a triple minority, being a black woman who was a lesbian, was an asset during her election and could be considered a hindrance while in office. Harris would state, "My triple minority status proved to be controversial while I was in office, but it gave me a unique perspective on civil rights," and "I had greater expectations put on me, yet who I am as a minority has nothing to do as to why I want to be on the council." 1995 and 1997 elections In 1995, Harris ran for reelection and her major opponent was John E. Manning, a Seattle Police Department sergeant. In the general election, Manning would defeat Harris, 54% to 46%. In 1997, Harris ran again for city council against a YMCA director Richard Conlin. Harris would have some missteps in the election, like not mentioning she was a lesbian when attempting to get the endorsement of the Harvey Muggy Democrats, a gay political organization. Harris would lose in a landslide to Conlin, 66% to 34%. Sexual harassment complaint In 1994, an intern turned paid staffer of Harris accused the councilmember of sexual harassment and creating a toxic work environment. At the time, Harris denied the allegations stating, "Anyone who knows me or has dealt with me...knows that any rumor, innuendo, claim or suggestion of harassment or discrimination on my part is absurd..." and would claim that the complaint was blackmail. According to the former staffer, Rev. Dorinda Henry, Harris threatened her if she chose to file a complaint by saying, "I'll destroy you. You won't be able to do anything in this city," Henry would be fired from her position after filing the sexual harassment complaint with the city. In a 2018 interview, Harris would continue to deny the sexual harassment allegations stating, "I've never sexually harassed anyone, and certainly not my interns". Personal life During her first election and tenure in office, Harris was in a domestic partnership with Judith Scalise, but it ended after her 1995 election loss. Harris published her book, Changing the World from the Inside Out: Politics for the New Millennium, in 2010. She started her own business, Seattle: Spirit Mind Body Educational Resources, focusing on teaching core skills for living consciously and manifesting intended results.

Raphael Flauger

Raphael Manfred Flauger (born 7 July 1979 in Nuremberg; Ger. Nürnberg) is a German theoretical physicist and cosmologist. (Doctoral Dissertation with Vita on p. 321) Education and career After receiving in June 1998 the Abitur from the Leibniz-Gymnasium in Altdorf bei Nürnberg, Raphael Flauger entered in July 1998 the German Air Force for his compulsory military service. In October 1998 he enrolled in a long-distance education program in mechanical engineering offered by TU Dresden. After the completion of his military service in April 1999, he enrolled in the physics program at the University of Würzburg. There he received the Vordiplom in August 2000. He continued to study physics at the University of Würzburg until July 2001. In 2001 he joined the Weinberg Theory Group at the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin). There in August 2002, he receive an M.A. in physics under the supervision of Sonia Paban. In autumn 2002, Flauger matriculated at Imperial College London. There in September 2003, he received an M.S in Quantum Fields and Fundamental Forces under the supervision of Arkady Tseytlin. After received his M.S., Flauger returned, as a Ph.D. student, to study with the Weinberg Theory Group at UT Austin. From January to August, he was a Graduate Fellow at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP). In August 2009 at UT Austin, he successfully defended his doctoral dissertation entitled Constraining Fundamental Physics with Cosmology. His doctor supervisor was Steven Weinberg. In addition to Weinberg, Flauger's doctoral committee consisted of Arno Bohm, Willy Fischler, Dan Freed, and Sonia Paban. As a postdoc, Flauger did research from 2009 to 2011 at Yale University. From 2011 to 2014 he was a postdoctoral fellow at New York University, as well as a temporary member of the Institute for Advanced Study. He was from 2014 to 2015 an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University and from 2015 to 2019 an assistant professor at UT Austin. In 2019 he joined, as an associate professor, the physics department of the University of California, San Diego, where he is now a full professor. Flauger is interested in predictions about the early universe from the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), in particular from the data of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and the Planck space-based observatory. He is also interested in quantum field theories, quantum gravity and string theory (both with phenomenological models and with formal aspects). In 2014, Flauger played a key role in criticizing and refuting the then sensational claims of the BICEP2 collaboration (2nd generation of Background Imaging of Cosmic Extragalactic Polarization project) to have found gravitational waves and evidence of inflation in the CMB (even before the analysis of the Planck telescope team). At that time (2013–2014) he was at the Institute for Advanced Study. He was the lead author of an article, published in May 2014, indicating that polarized emission from interstellar dust could explain the findings of the BICEP2 science team. As a doctoral student of Weinberg at UT Austin, Flauger had predicted the B-modes in the CMB as an indication of gravitational waves that the BICEP2 science team thought they had found.Flauger, Weinberg, Tensor Microwave Background Fluctuations for Large Multipole Order, Phys. Rev. D, Volume 75, 2007, 123505, Arxiv Flauger then worked on phenomenological string theory models that predict observably large B-modes, whereas previously it was generally assumed that such B-modes would not be predicted in string theory models because the associated energies are close to the GUT scale. According to Flauger and colleagues, this also opened up the possibility of testing string theory with CMB data. For example, he searched with Eva Silverstein and Liam McAllister for axion signals in the CMB, which are predicted by some string theories. In 2015 Flauger received a two-year Sloan Research Fellowship. In 2016 he was awarded a New Horizons in Physics Prize.

Araceli Saucedo Reyes

Araceli Saucedo Reyes (born 8 January 1980) is a Mexican politician who has served in both chambers of Congress. Previously affiliated with the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), she joined the ranks of the National Regeneration Movement (Morena) in the Senate on 28 August 2024. Career Saucedo Reyes was born in Opopeo, Michoacán, in 1980. She holds a bachelor's degree in law and social science from the Universidad Michoacana de San Nicolás de Hidalgo and studied for a master's in public administration and e-government at the . In the 2012 general election she was elected to the Chamber of Deputies on the PRD ticket as the alternate of Antonio García Conejo in Michoacán's 11th district; however, she never occupied the seat. In the 2015 mid-terms she was elected to Congress in her own right for that seat on behalf of the PRD. She also served a term in the Congress of Michoacán from 2018 to 2021 and was the municipal president of Salvador Escalante, Michoacán, in 2021 to 2024. She was the general secretary of the PRD in Michoacán in 2020 and had contended for the position of the party's national general secretary in 2014. In the 2024 general election she contended for one of Michoacán's Senate seats representing the Fuerza y Corazón por México coalition between the PRD, the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) and the National Action Party (PAN). The coalition placed second in the state and Saucedo Reyes was awarded the state's third seat in the Senate. Days before the 66th congressional session was about to begin, however, she and José Sabino Herrera Dagdug, senator-elect for Tabasco, announced their defection from the PRD to the ruling National Regeneration Movement (Morena) party. The move left Morena and its allies one seat short of controlling supermajorities in both chambers of Congress. The defections were decried by PRD President Jesús Zambrano, who said they were a decisive step towards the death of democracy in Mexico. Marko Cortés, the president of the National Action Party, noted that Saucedo had received more votes from the PAN than from the PRD and said that her name should be inscribed on the national wall of shame.

Tudor Arghezi House

The Memorial House of Tudor Arghezi also known as Casa Mărțișor is a Historic Monument located in the Dealul Piscului (Peak Hill) area of Sector 4 in Bucharest, Romania. The building was the home of Romanian literature writer Tudor Arghezi from 1930 until his death in 1967.CIMEC - Ghidul muzeelor: Casa Memorială „Tudor Arghezi”, accesat 3 martie 2014. History On June 10, 1926, writer Tudor Arghezi becomes the owner of the land where the memorial house was going to be built. The area was initially situated on the former Mahalaua Cărămidarilor (The Brickalyer's Slum), in the proximity of Piaţa Sudului (Southern Market) and the Văcărești Monastery. He starts its construction with the support of a Swedish architect named Jahanes. The house was built according to the plans of imagined and wished by Arghezi himself. The building hosts a total of twenty rooms as Arghezi and his wife Paraschiva only lived in three of them which were finished by 1930. Between 1935 and 1937, the annex building was also built, which became Arghezi's personal printing house, a place where he worked with his son, journeyman Baruțu, printing books and magazines. In 1948, Arghezi's property was nationalized by the Romanian Communist Party, the poet giving in his assets on the condition that this property be used as a memorial house after his passing. Seven years after the poet's death, on May 20, 1974, the doors of the house were opened, so that from 2006 it became a Memorial Museum, under the coordination of the National Museum of Romanian Literature. For a long time, the honorary director of the now-museum property was the daughter of Tudor Arghezi, Mitzura. The museum was organized on the first floor of the building, the ground floor always belonging to the heirs of the family.Ce s-a ales de paradisul de la Mărțișor, locul pe care Arghezi îl numea „ACASĂ”. Poetul e îngropat în curtea casei, alături de dragostea lui, de Mitzura și de câinele Zdreanță, Aura Stan, în a1.ro, 6 martie 2017. Traian Radu, a very close friend and confidant of Mitzura Arghezi, remained the heir. This decision was contested by the niece, Doina Theodorescu Arghezi. In the garden, on the place where the first house was and then the prisaca, today are the graves of Tudor and Paraschiva Arghezi, as well as the grave of Mitzura.

Great Triana Raid

The Great raid of Triana in 1178 was an expedition under the orders of Prince Sancho of Portugal against the Almohad Caliphate in the modern territories of Extremadura and Alentejo. Sancho would achieve an astonishing victory over the Muslims. It would be one of the most daring military operations conducted in the history of Portugal and allowed the prince Sancho to affirm himself as a worthy commander and heir to the throne.Miguel Gomes Martins: De Ourique a Aljubarrota - A Guerra Na Idade Média, A Esfera dos Livros, 2011, pp. 105-124. History Portuguese ambassadors had been dispatched to Seville and a truce was established in 1173. Once the truce with the Muslims was over, Sancho decided to launch a raid into Almohad territory. Soldiers were gathered in Coimbra. They included both infantry and cavalry from the Order of Calatrava, as well as the militias of the city of Coimbra, Santarém, Lisbon, Évora and many others. Many hosts of some of the main nobles in Portugal also participated. The contingent consisted of around 5000 footmen and 2300 cavalry. It had been one of the largest forces mobilized by the Portuguese yet. They started the campaign by sacking the Almohad regions of Beja. Going through modern territories of Extremadura in Spain, the Portuguese crossed Sierra Morena and arrived in Seville in November, yet their forces were not enough to attack the city. They set up camp just a few kilometers to the west of Seville and defeated an Almohad army, in a large battle outside the city, that was sent to stop them. The city was situated on the west bank of the river, while the Triana suburbs were on the east bank and were connected by a bridge of barques near the Torre del Oro. The suburbs were then sacked and rich spoils were captured. While coming back to Coimbra, Gibraleón and Niebla were raided. A Portuguese contingent of 1400 cavalry and the garrison of Alcácer do Sal defeated an Almohad army coming from Beja and Serpa led by the qaids Ibn Wazir and Ibn Timsalit, who both died in the battle. Retaliation for Sancho's bold "Triana Raid", as it was later called, came soon. The Muslims invaded Portugal again in 1179. They besieged the city of Abrantes, but they were unsuccessful in capturing it. A Muslim fleet also attacked the outskirts of Lisbon. Portugal gained recognition as an independent kingdom in 1179 through the Papal decree Manifestis Probatum, marking a significant moment in Portuguese history attributed to King Afonso I for his efforts in fighting the Muslims. In 1182 and 1183 a new Portuguese campaign against the Muslims was launched. Formed by local militias from Lisbon and Santarém, they sacked Ajarafe, a land of villages and olive orchards to the west of Seville. They took numerous captives.

Sorbonne Faculty of Science and Engineering

The Sorbonne Faculty of Science and Engineering is the second largest of Sorbonne University's three major faculties, in terms of the number of students enrolled. Formed in 1808 as the Faculty of Science of the University of Paris, it became an autonomous university between 1970 and 2017 under the name of the Pierre and Marie Curie University, before becoming a faculty again when it joined the new Sorbonne University. It has been located on the Jussieu campus since 1956, in the 6th arrondissement of Paris, bordering the historic Latin Quarter to the west. It also has four satellite campuses in various regions of France: Roscoff in Brittany, Banyuls-sur-Mer in the Pyrenees and Villefranche-sur-Mer in the Alpes Maritimes. Alongside the Faculty of Science of the Paris Cité University (9,000 students) and the Paris-Saclay Faculty of Sciences (10,000 students), it is one of the three inheritors of the former Faculty of Science of the University of Paris, with almost 22,000 students and one of the largest science schools in France and Europe. The faculty's programs and research cover the fields of biology, earth, environmental and climate sciences, life sciences, physics, chemistry, mathematics, electronics, computer science, mechanics and engineering. In 2024, the faculty's departments rank the Sorbonne 4th worldwide in mathematics and oceanography, and 12th worldwide in earth sciences according to the Shanghai ranking. History 19th century The decree-law of May 10, 1806 created the Imperial University of France. In application of this law, the imperial decree of March 17, 1808 established the general organization of the Imperial University of France, within which the faculties had as their mission "advanced sciences and the conferring of degrees". It was specified that in Paris, the Faculty of Sciences would be formed by the union of two professors from the Collège de France, two from the Museum of Natural History, two from the École Polytechnique, and two professors of mathematics from high schools, one of these professors being appointed dean. thumb|Tower of the astronomical observatory of the old buildings of the Faculty of Sciences on the Sorbonne campus In 1855, under the Second French Empire, the French chemist Jean-Baptiste Dumas obtained the creation of the first laboratory of the faculty devoted to research, the laboratory of improvement and research for chemical studies, financed by the special budget of higher education. Thirty-two years previously, Jean-Baptiste Dumas, appointed chemistry tutor at the École Polytechnique in 1824, had created a small personal laboratory there, the school no longer having research equipment. He maintained this laboratory at his own expense until the revolution of 1848 following which he occupied important political functions. In 1851, Henri Sainte-Claire Deville, appointed lecturer in chemistry at the École normale supérieure, was responsible for creating a research laboratory there. The laboratory for advanced training and research for chemical studies at the faculty was thus temporarily installed near Deville's laboratory before moving to premises on rue Saint-Jacques. It was intended in particular for graduates wishing to prepare for a doctorate. Alfred Riche, the faculty's chemistry preparer, was appointed head of chemical works at the laboratory. He was replaced by Paul Bérard, preparer at the laboratory, in 1862, then by Victor de Luynes in 1866. Following the reconstruction of the Sorbonne, the Faculty of Science at the University of Paris was able to move into larger premises. But as the number of students and courses grew, the new premises themselves soon became too small. Multiple additional campuses were created in Paris, and even in France for some laboratories. Between 1809 and 1909, the number of professors increased more than sixfold. The faculty had 350 students in 1890, rising to 1990 twenty years later. Between 1825 and 1880, the budget increased from 73,041 francs to 485,260 francs. thumb|Chemistry amphitheater at the Sorbonne In 1896, the various faculties of Paris, including the Faculty of Sciences, were grouped together within the University of Paris, while still retaining a very large degree of autonomy. As early as 1941, there was talk of expanding the premises allocated to the Faculty of Science, and in 1946 it was decided to transfer it to the Halle aux Vins in Paris, within the future Jussieu campus. In 1958, due to the overcrowding of teaching and the growing number of students in the Sorbonne premises and the delay in the transfer, it was decided to move part of the teaching of the Faculty of Science to Orsay, to a new satellite campus 20 kilometers south of Paris. In 1971, it became what is today the Paris-Saclay Faculty of Sciences. 20th century The Jussieu campus is built on the site of what was once the Abbaye Saint-Victor, founded in 1113 by philosopher and theologian William of Champeaux. Closed in 1790 and destroyed in 1811, all that remains of the Abbey today are a few foundations still visible beneath the Esclangon building, used as a cellar when the Halle Aux Vins of Paris was set up there between 1813 and 1955. However, the abbey did not occupy all the grounds of the former abbey, since at no. 12 rue Cuvier were built the premises of the Faculty of Science of the University of Paris, opened in 1894, where Marie Curie carried out her research from 1906 to 1913. The campus was inaugurated in 1959, but underwent continuous renovation until 2016. The Faculty of Science of the University of Paris, cramped in its old premises, needed to find conditions more suited to the demands of the post-war era. The campus is mainly made up of a “grid” of bars designed by architect Édouard Albert between 1964 and 1971, raised above a slab that in turn overhangs the surrounding streets. The grid features a central tower, the Zamansky Tower, and is flanked on two sides by older buildings of 65,000 m2, including two buildings (Cassan bars) erected by architect Urbain Cassan between 1958 and 1961, overlooking the Quai Saint-Bernard and Rue Cuvier. In 1971, following the Faure Law, the Faculty of Science of the University of Paris gave way to two new autonomous universities: Pierre et Marie Curie University, for its scientific part, and Diderot University (now Paris Cité University), the only interdisciplinary university integrating literary and scientific disciplines. The scientific library, the result of the transfer of recent science collections from the Sorbonne Library, was renamed the Jussieu Scientific Library. Organization Sorbonne Faculty of Science and Engineering consists of the following divisions: Sorbonne University Polytechnic School the Henri Poincaré Institute the Paris Institute of Astrophysics the Paris Institute of Statistics (ISUP) Roscoff Biological Station (SBR) Villefranche Marine Station Banyuls Oceanological Observatory the Institute of Computing and Data Sciences (ISCD) the Institute of Health Engineering (IUIS) Sorbonne Institute for Environmental Transition Sorbonne Center for Artificial Intelligence (SCAI) and the Sorbonne University Library's Sciences department (former Jussieu Scientific Library) It has 79 laboratories in the Paris region, most in association with the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS). Some of the most notable institutes and laboratories include the Institut Henri Poincaré (Mathematics), Institut d'astrophysique de Paris (Astrophysics), LIP6 (Informatics / Computer Science), Institut des systèmes intelligents et de robotique (Robotics), Institut de mathématiques de Jussieu – Paris Rive Gauche (foundations of Mathematics, shared with University of Paris Cité) and the Laboratoire Kastler-Brossel (Quantum Physics, shared with PSL University). The Faculty also hosts the European headquarters of the European Marine Biological Resource Centre (EMBRC), which is Europe's ‘research infrastructure’ for marine biological resources, bringing together 14 marine biology stations in 9 European countries.

Embassy of the Philippines, Dublin

The Embassy of the Philippines in Dublin was the diplomatic mission of the Republic of the Philippines to the Republic of Ireland. Opened in 2009, it was located at the fourth floor of Hainault House along the southern perimeter of St Stephen's Green in central Dublin. Closed in 2012 due to a reduction in the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide during the presidency of Benigno Aquino III, the mission is scheduled to reopen in 2024. History Although diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Ireland were established in 1984, relations were initially conducted through an honorary consulate in Dublin. A resident embassy in Ireland was not opened until the presidency of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, when the Philippine Embassy in Dublin was opened on July 9, 2009. Initially operating out of temporary office space at 77 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, it began offering consular services a week later. The Embassy then inaugurated its permanent chancery on November 30, 2010, coinciding with Bonifacio Day, with an open house for the Filipino community in Ireland being held two days before. Expansion of the Philippines' diplomatic presence abroad during the Arroyo presidency was not without controversy: in 2010, Senator Franklin Drilon questioned the need for embassies in countries with small Filipino communities, including a number of countries in Europe, and called for a review of the Philippines' diplomatic presence worldwide. This would lead to the closure of ten posts under Arroyo's successor, Benigno Aquino III, and ultimately to the closure of the Embassy by October 31, 2012, which took effect nearly three months earlier on July 16, 2012. Ireland was then placed under the jurisdiction of the Philippine Embassy in London, with services provided through a reopened honorary consulate, although Filipinos in Ireland have asked for the Embassy to be reopened due to the limited services provided by the honorary consulate. By 2019, the Philippine government had begun considering reopening a resident mission in Ireland, with Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. announcing that the Philippine Embassy in Dublin would reopen as part of an expansion of the country's diplomatic presence under Aquino's successor, Rodrigo Duterte. On November 15, 2022, during budget deliberations for the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), Senator Loren Legarda announced that the Embassy was one of four missions that would reopen in 2024, and the DFA, spurred in part by the reopening of the Irish Embassy in Manila in 2021, itself confirmed during a debate on Ireland–Philippines relations at Trinity College Dublin on May 30, 2024, that a resident mission in Ireland would reopen in late 2024. Staff and activities The Philippine Embassy in Dublin was headed by Ambassador Ariel Y. Abadilla, the Philippines' first (and so far, only) resident ambassador to Ireland. A career diplomat who was appointed to the position by President Arroyo on February 17, 2009, he previously served as Consul General at the Philippine Consulate General in Honolulu. His appointment was confirmed by the Commission on Appointments (CA) on March 4, 2009, and he presented his credentials to Irish President Mary McAleese on June 29, 2009. Abadilla was subsequently recalled with the Embassy's impending closure, and at the time it closed it was headed by Hjayceelyn M. Quintana as chargée d'affaires. With the embassy's impending reopening it is set to be headed by a new ambassador, Daniel R. Espiritu, who was appointed to the position by President Bongbong Marcos on August 4, 2024. Prior to becoming ambassador, Espiritu, a career diplomat, served as the DFA's assistant secretary for ASEAN Affairs. His appointment is currently pending before the CA, which will decide on his appointment on September 10, 2024.

Giuseppe Zurlo

Giuseppe Zurlo, also called Giuseppe Zurolo, (Baranello, 6 November 1757 – Naples, 10 November 1828) was an Italian jurist and politician, belonging to the Zurolo family. thumb|Hand-drawn drawing of the Italian politician and jurist Giuseppe Zurlo. Biography A member of the Freemasonry, in 1784 he became Scottish Master of the aristocratic lodge La Vittoria of Naples, elevated by the Grand Lodge of London to a provincial Grand Lodge. In 1813 he was Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Naples. From a young age he held highly prestigious judicial and administrative positions within the administration of the Kingdom of Naples, up to that of Minister of Finance, under Ferdinand I, and Minister of the Interior during the French government (1806 –1815) and during the riots of 1820. As Minister of the Interior, Giuseppe managed the process of abolition of feudalism, decreed with a series of provisions approved by the sovereigns Joseph Bonaparte and Gioacchino Murat between 1806 and 1811. He decreed the transfer of disputes between the barons and the municipality to the feudal commission, removing them from the ordinary judiciary. The commission, an extraordinary judiciary whose procedures reflected the vertical logic typical of the executive and whose sentences were final, proved to be much faster and more effective in resolving disputes and in executing the law. A staunch supporter of the need for a radical change in the system of government, Giuseppe, through his personal life experience, knew first-hand the ills that afflicted the populations of the South. In addition to the economic and social problems of his homeland, Molise, he had a thorough knowledge of the conditions of Calabria, where he stayed on two occasions: the first time, as a member of the commission set up to investigate the earthquake of 1783, and a second time, in 1790, when he was a judge of the Gran Corte della Vicaria. On this occasion he was given the task of carrying out a survey of the "defenses" of the Regia Sila and a verification of the occupations and usurpations of various lands carried out by local owners to the detriment of the royal state property. Assignments Minister of Justice and Worship (February 1809 - November 1809); Minister of the Interior (November 5, 1809 - May 1815).

P&G London Plant

The P&G London Plant is a large chemicals plant on the side of the Thames Estuary, in West Thurrock. History The factory started production in the late 1930s. Construction At a Thurrock Urban District meeting on Tuesday 6 July 1937, plans for a new factory at Thurrock were approved.Chelmsford Chronicle Friday 9 July 1937, page 9 In April 1938 the foundations were being built to 20 feet in depth. The site was 15 acres, with buildings up to 129 feet in height.Daily Herald Tuesday 12 April 1938, page 12 Detergent industry P&G introduced Tide onto the UK market in 1950; Tide now has around 15% of the world market. Tide was introduced in 1950 to compete with Unilever's leading products. To compete, Unilever introduced Surf in 1952, followed by Omo in 1954. In May 1963, the UK household detergent market was investigated by the government, reporting on 10 August 1966. It was found that 23% of the retail price, for both Unilever and P&G, was taken up by selling and promotion expenses, and the retailer's margin, for both, was 16%. Factory costs were 43%, of retail cost, for P&G, and slightly more for Unilever. The 1966 report found that Unilever and P&G had 96% of the UK market for laundry detergent powder products.Liverpool Echo Wednesday 10 August 1966, page 3 The industry was investigated by the National Board for Prices and Incomes in 1965.Liverpool Daily Post Wednesday 5 February 1975, page 16 Incidents 36 year old Kevin Scott-Dean, of Southend-on-Sea, was decapitated on a washing powder process line.

Phillip Dean Hancock

Phillip Dean Hancock (February 15, 1964 — November 30, 2023) was an American convicted murderer who killed a total of three people between 1982 and 2001. In 1982, Hancock was charged with fatally shooting a drug trafficker, Charles Lester Warren, which he claimed was a killing done in self-defense, and he was subsequently given a four-year jail term for first-degree manslaughter. 19 years later, Hancock would commit the double murder of James Vincent Lynch III and Robert Lee Jett Jr. by shooting both of them to death in 2001, for which he similarly claimed were killings done in self-defense. However, Hancock was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Hancock, who stood by his claims of self-defense throughout the post-conviction appeal process, was eventually executed via lethal injection on November 30, 2023. Background Phillip Dean Hancock, the elder of two sons, was born on February 15, 1964, and grew up in Oklahoma City. His younger brother was diagnosed with cerebral palsy due to him being born with the umbilical cord binding around his neck, and Hancock took care of his brother during their formative years, and even fought with older boys to defend him from bullying. As a child, Hancock would go to a Methodist church with his parents, but he would often go to nearby car salvage lots to smoke marijuana and cigarettes with other children. Hancock's father was reportedly abusive towards his children and wife, who had to run away from home at one point to escape the domestic violence. Murder of Charles Warren (1982) On May 26, 1982, at the age of 18, Hancock killed his first victim, 27-year-old Charles Lester Warren (June 20, 1954 – May 26, 1982), in a park in Oklahoma City. According to media sources and court documents, Hancock and his accomplice, 16-year-old Kenneth Ray Hulsey, were involved in a shooting incident that left one man dead and two bystanders injured. The deceased victim, Warren, was said to be a drug dealer who sold drugs to adolescent people in the park, and based on court testimonies, Warren and Hancock got into verbal altercations with each other due to a ring that had gone missing from Warren's house. According to 16-year-old Patrick Michael O'Brien, who was there at the scene of the crime, he saw Hancock being beaten by Warren inside the park, and Hancock allegedly said he wanted to shoot Warren. O'Brien tried to dissuade him from doing this considering the crowd in the park and the stupidity of such an intention. According to Hancock, Warren threatened to harm him and the menacing physique of the victim made him more fearful for his life. Hancock, who was being slapped by Warren a few times at the park on the day in question, admitted to the authorities that he said he wanted to "blow [Warren's] head off" after the slapping, only because he felt upset. After Warren allegedly threatened Hancock that he would force him out of his car and beat him up, Hancock took Hulsey's .22-caliber rifle and fired several shots at Warren, who sustained five gunshot wounds and died. During the shooting, 18-year-old Karen Barber and 19-year-old William J. Orr were both injured by Hancock. A day after the shootings, Hancock surrendered himself and he was charged with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of shooting with intent to kill on May 28, two days after the shooting. Jury selection commenced in October 1982, who was set to stand trial that same month. For the charge of first-degree murder, Hancock stood trial before a 12-member jury for four days before the trial ended with a verdict of first-degree manslaughter after his claims of self-defense were accepted by the jury. On October 21, 1982, the same day of the jury's ruling, Hancock was handed the minimum sentence of four years' imprisonment for the offense. Hancock would serve less than three years in prison before his release on parole. Hulsey was not tried for the killing of Warren due to his age. Murders of Robert Jett Jr. and James Lynch (2001) On April 27, 2001, 19 years after his first killing, Phillip Hancock once again committed murder, and this time, he shot two men aged 38 and 58 respectively in Oklahoma City. On that night itself, Hancock went to the house of one of the victims, 38-year-old Robert Lee Jett Jr. (February 12, 1963 – April 27, 2001), who had often supplied drugs to Hancock's then-girlfriend. Jett was together with Hancock and two more people in his house – Jett's 58-year-old friend James Vincent Lynch III (1943 – April 27, 2001) and a woman named Shawn "Smokey" Tarp – at the time of the shooting. Hancock reportedly quarreled with Jett and Lynch over a pack of cigarettes after the men ingested some drugs. It was allegedly during the quarrel that Jett had whipped out his pistol and Hancock disarmed Jett during a physical altercation, and Hancock shot both Jett and Lynch to death. According to Tarp, who was not hurt in the shootings (since she sought refuge in a bedroom), she witnessed Jett, who was injured, being chased down the backyard by Hancock, and when Jett fell onto the ground and said he was "going to die", Hancock coldly replied that Jett would die and finished him off. The police were alerted by one of Jett's neighbors who heard the gunshots, and the murders thus came into revelation.Hancock v. State [2007], Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals (United States). However, Hancock was not immediately caught for the double murder despite the police's efforts to identify him and a police sketch of his face (which was partly due to Tarp not knowing Hancock's name). In fact, he spent a year evading justice after he murdered Lynch and Jett before he was arrested and later convicted on March 26, 2002, for firearm and drug-related offenses, and incarcerated in the Great Plains Correctional Institution in Hinton. Shortly after he was sent to prison, Hancock's involvement in the murders was revealed after forensic evidence connected him to the slayings, and hence, Hancock was charged with two counts of first-degree murder on June 28, 2002. Although Hancock argued in court that he shot the two victims in self-defense by claiming that the victims were gang members who wanted to harm him, an Oklahoma County jury found him guilty of murdering both Lynch and Jett and recommended the death penalty for each count of murder on September 30, 2004. The trial judge Susan P. Caswell formally sentenced Hancock to death for the double murder on October 25, 2004. Death row and execution Since the end of his trial, Hancock spent the next 19 years of his life on Oklahoma's death row. Hancock's appeal was dismissed in 2007 by the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals. Hancock lost his final appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court in 2016, making him one of Oklahoma's 11 death row inmates eligible for execution, and the number increased to 16 as of March 2018. By February 2020, the number of inmates eligible for execution after exhausting all available appeals had rose to 26 (Hancock was one of them). Hancock and 27 other death row inmates filed lawsuit against the state over Oklahoma's execution protocol, and the lawsuit was dismissed in June 2022 after the courts ruled that there was no breach of constitutionality in the death penalty laws of Oklahoma. Hancock also appealed for new post-conviction DNA testing to back his claims of self-defense in July 2022. In August 2022, Hancock's death warrant was issued, scheduling his tentative execution date as May 4, 2023. In January 2023, following a court order from the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals, Hancock's execution was rescheduled to take place on November 30, 2023. Six other condemned prisoners – Jemaine Cannon, Anthony Castillo Sanchez, James Ryder, Michael Dewayne Smith, Wade Lay and Richard Glossip – also had their execution dates rescheduled between 2023 and 2024. In October 2023, a month before Hancock was slated to be put to death, a clemency hearing was scheduled for Hancock on November 8, 2023. Hancock and his lawyers implored the five-member panel of the Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board to grant clemency to Hancock and commute his death sentence to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, arguing that Hancock killed both Lynch and Jett out of self-defense and also asked for DNA testing to prove that Hancock acted in self-defense and stated that mercy should be given to Hancock, who was acting to protect himself for fear of his own life and safety. Assistant Attorney General Joshua Lockett rebutted the defense's arguments, stating that the self-defense claims did not tally with the objective evidence found at the crime scene and Hancock himself gave inconsistent accounts of what happened. Lockett said that Hancock's self-defense claims were thoroughly scrutinized by the jury before reaching the verdict of death in his case, and these arguments were also duly considered in multiple appeals before the death sentences were upheld. He stated that Hancock's acts of chasing the injured victims, telling them to die, and shooting them to death were not clear instances of self-defense. The families of both Jett and Lynch objected to clemency in the case of Hancock. Jett's brother, Ryan, conceded that his brother was not an angel by any means but rebutted that he did not "deserve to die in the backyard like a dog". On November 8, 2023, by a vote of three to two, the parole board recommended that Hancock should be granted clemency and agreed that his death sentence should be commuted to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Hancock's lawyers were gratified at the decision and they hoped that it would be approved by the governor of Oklahoma. However, James Lynch's brother Robert Lynch was disappointed with the decision and wanted Hancock's death sentence to be carried out as originally decided, and Lockett was similarly disappointed with the decision and he admonished Hancock for his lack of remorse and unwillingness to submit to his fate or seek forgiveness for his actions. The final decision laid at the hands of the Oklahoma state governor Kevin Stitt, who had the discretion to either grant or refuse clemency for Hancock. Prior to the death warrant of Hancock, Governor Stitt had granted clemency only once, to former death row inmate Julius Jones, whose death sentence for murdering a businessman in 1999 was commuted to life without parole merely hours before he was scheduled to be executed in 2021. Governor Stitt also rejected the parole board's recommendations for clemency in the two cases of Bigler Stouffer and James Coddington, both of whom were, in the end, executed for murder. On November 30, 2023, the same date of Hancock's impending execution, Governor Stitt announced his decision to reject Hancock's clemency plea and ordered that the execution should move forward. Merely three hours after Governor Stitt refused to grant clemency, 59-year-old Phillip Dean Hancock was officially put to death via lethal injection at the Oklahoma State Penitentiary. Before he was administered with a three-drug lethal injection, Hancock used his last words to express his gratitude to his lawyers and continued to insist till the end that the double murder was an act of self-defense, and expressed his wish to be exonerated after his death. Hancock also harshly criticized the prosecution under the office of Attorney General Gentner Drummond, and in his words, Hancock quoted: "They’re vile. They’re virtueless. They’re without honor." For his last meal, Hancock ordered a bucket of fried chicken — dark meat with no sides — from KFC and root beer. Aftermath Phillip Dean Hancock was the fourth and final condemned inmate to be executed in Oklahoma after Scott James Eizember (January), Jemaine Cannon (July) and Anthony Sanchez (September). Overall, Hancock was the last convict to be executed in the U.S. during the year of 2023, which oversaw a total of 24 executions, a sharp rise from 18 executions in the previous year of 2022. The execution of Hancock was greatly criticized by death penalty opponents. One focal point of criticism was that the Oklahoma state governor Kevin Stitt waited until the last minute before he announced his decision to not commute Hancock's death sentence and allowed the execution to move forward. Don Heath, a member of the Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, stated that he could not imagine the anxiety felt by Hancock to await the decision of Governor Stitt throughout the final weeks of his life after the parole board gave their decision. In response to the criticism, Governor Stitt released a media statement and expressed that he had duly considered the matter and relevant factors like Hancock's previous self-defense claims in the 1982 killing of Charles Warren. He stated that it was one of the "painfully difficult" decisions he was constrained to make in light of the situation and he did not take it lightly. One of Hancock's lawyers Shawn Nolan released a media statement after the execution, stating that the team of lawyers in Hancock's case were "profoundly sad" that Hancock was executed in spite of the parole board's recommendation to grant clemency and maintained that his case was a clear case of self-defense. On the other hand, the families of James Lynch and Robert Jett Jr. welcomed the execution of Hancock. On behalf of the families, Jett's brother Ryan told the press that justice was finally served 22 years after the double murder. Devon Moss, an atheist chaplain who interacted with Hancock for more than a year accepted an interview in January 2024, two months after Hancock was executed. The chaplain spoke about his experiences of conversing with Hancock on Atheism and what awaits an Atheist who did not believe in God after death, and how Hancock gradually chose to be Atheist over the years on death row. Moss was together with Hancock in the execution chamber throughout the execution process, until Hancock was pronounced dead at 11.29am.

2024–25 European windstorm season

The 2024–2025 European windstorm season is the decadal and upcoming season of the European windstorm naming in Europe. The new season's storm names were announced just before the start of the season on 28 August 2024. Storms that occur up until 31 August 2025 will be included in this season. This was the sixth season where the Netherlands participated (through KNMI), alongside the United Kingdom's Met Office and Ireland's Met Éireann in the western group. The Portuguese, Spanish, French and Belgian meteorological agencies collaborated for the eighth time, joined by Luxembourg's agency (Southwestern group). This is the fourth season where Greece, Israel and Cyprus (Eastern Mediterranean group), and Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Malta (Central Mediterranean group) named storms which affected their areas. Background and naming Definitions and naming conventions There is no universal definition of what constitutes a windstorm in Europe, nor is there a universally accepted system of naming storms. For example, in the Western Group, consisting of the UK, Ireland, and the Netherlands, a storm is named if one of the meteorological agencies in those countries issues an orange warning (amber in the UK), which generally requires a likelihood of widespread sustained wind speeds greater than 65 km/h, or widespread wind gust speeds over 110 km/h. (Required wind speeds vary slightly by agency and by season.) Both the likelihood of impact and the potential severity of the system are considered when naming a storm. The Southwest Group of Spain, Portugal, and France share a similar storm-naming scheme, though their names differ from those used by the Western Group. In Greece, however, naming criteria were established for storms when the storm's forecast winds are above 50 km/h over land, with the wind expected to have a significant impact to infrastructures. In Denmark, a windstorm must have an hourly average windspeed of at least 90 km/h (25 m/s). The Meteorology Department of the Free University of Berlin (FUB) names all high and low pressure systems that affect Europe, though they do not assign names to any actual storms. A windstorm that is associated with one of these pressure systems will at times be recognized by the name assigned to the associated pressure system by the FUB. Named windstorms that have been recognized by a European meteorological agency are described in this article. Naming conventions used in Europe are generally based on conditions that are forecast, not conditions that have actually occurred, as public awareness and preparedness are often cited as the main purpose of the naming schemes–for example, a reference. Therefore, an assignment of a storm name does not mean that a storm will actually develop. Western Group (United Kingdom, Ireland and the Netherlands) In 2015, the Met Office and Met Éireann announced a project to name storms as part of the "Name our Storms" project for windstorms and asked the public for suggestions. The meteorological offices produced a full list of names for 2015–2016 through 2017–2018, common to both the United Kingdom and Ireland, with the Netherlands taking part from 2019 onwards. Names in the United Kingdom will be based on the National Severe Weather Warning Service. The following names were chosen for the 2024–2025 season in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Netherlands. For a windstorm to be named, the United Kingdom's Met Office, Ireland's Met Eireann, or the Netherlands' Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) have to issue an amber weather warning, preferably for wind, but a storm can also be named for amber warnings of rain and snow (e.g. Storm Arwen in 2021). South-Western Group (France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and Luxembourg) This was the eighth year in which the meteorological agencies of France, Spain and Portugal named storms that affected their areas.https://www.aemet.es/es/conocermas/borrascas/2024-2025 Central Mediterranean Group (Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Malta) The following names are chosen for the 2024–25 season in Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Malta on 1 September 2024. Eastern Mediterranean Group (Greece, Israel and Cyprus) The Eastern Mediterranean Group works slightly differently compared to other naming lists, instead of ending a season on the 31 August of that year, they end the season on the 30 September of that year. The storm names in Greece, Israel and Cyprus will be announced on 30 September as there season begins and ends a month later than the other groups. Will be announced on 30 September 2024 Northern Group (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) This naming group, like the naming from the Free University of Berlin, does not use a naming list but names storms when it has not received a name by any other meteorological service in Europe and is projected to affect Denmark, Norway or Sweden. Central/FUB naming Group (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and Hungary) Like the Northern Group, the Free University of Berlin names storms based on low pressures across the continent and does not use a naming list. The storms listed below were strong enough or were anticipated to cause equal or more disruption than if it were named either by one of the other groups.

Steynsburg Reformed Church (GKSA)

thumb|426x426px The Steynsburg Reformed Church is the oldest congregation of the Reformed Churches in South Africa in the North Eastern Cape town of Steynsburg, which was founded by the church council and after elder A.P.J. Steyn was named because he took the lead in founding the congregation. Because of the congregation's zeal for education, it took an important place in the Reformed church association, especially during the first almost 80 years of its existence until around 1950.

Potchefstroom: Pro Rege. A school with 100 learners was opened here in 1875 and in 1905 a school for Christian national education (a counter to the state's anglicization policy) from which a teaching college developed.

Background In the vicinity of the present Karoo town Steynsburg, a number of members of the Reformed Church lived in Middleburg and Burgersdorp.SAhistory.org.za. URL besoek op 2 September 2013. The distance to their hometown was great and with a view to faithful ecclesiastical coexistence, the need for their own hometown and church place became stronger. Elder A.P.J. Steyn van Middelburg, a brother of pres. Paul Kruger's mother was the soul of the enterprise.Johannes Cornelis van Rooy se lewenskets op Die Van Rooy-familie in Suid-Afrika . URL besoek op 2 September 2013. He was undoubtedly a man of exceptional ability and great influence. Rev. YES. van Rooy describes him in his later memories as "a venerable figure, his countenance and entire physique show that he is an uncle of President Kruger." It is clear that the people of the area consulted with each other beforehand.Verhandeling of boek oor die Potchefstroomse Universiteit met onbekende titel. URL besoek op 2 September 2013. An organization of its own began to take shape when a commission of two persons, the aforementioned A.P.J. Steyn and L.S. van der Walt, be assigned to buy land with a view to establishing a new town and a congregation. The farm Grootvlei was purchased from two owners.Protes teen prof.

URL besoek op 3 September 2013. The part mainly north of the railway was bought from L.P. Vorster, grandfather of the later Rev. LP Frost. The land for a village plant is ready. However, the beginning of a town is closely linked to the establishment of a new congregation. Potgieter, D.J. (ed.) 1974. Standard Encyclopaedia of Southern Africa. Cape Town: Nasionale Opvoedkundige Uitgewery (Nasou). There is no reasoning about where exactly the site and task of the civilians is and where that of the church. There is no falling over all sorts of tidbits of procedures. No wonder that on 16 August 1872 elder Steyn did not request the church council of Middelburg to nominate a commission to establish a new congregation,Dr. J.D. du Toit en die onderwys.

Caloglossa

Caloglossa is a genus of algae in the Delesseriaceae. Description Caloglossa has thalli that resemble branching leaves. This "exogenous primary branching" differentiates the genus from other members of the Delesseriaceae, other than the closely related genus Taenioma. Species of Caloglossa are red to brown in color. Each thalli has a conspicuous midrib which is formed by a row of elongated cells. In fresh water, populations spread vegetatively. In brackish water, the plants may reproduce sexually. Distribution Caloglossa is a common genus worldwide, and is distributed in littoral zones from tropical to temperate waters. They can grow in habitats of varying salinity, and may be found growing on stones on marine coasts, in brackish estuaries, epiphytically in saltmarsh and mangrove habitat, and in total freshwater areas. Use The genus sees use in aquascaping and may be found in the aquarium trade. One species in particular, Caloglossa cf. beccarii, is popular as it exhibits a variety of colors and is easy to cultivate. Caloglossa beccarii has also been investigated as a potential food item in Thailand. It was found to have insignificant toxicity while providing a potentially rich nutritional benefit. Taxonomy Some authors have considered the taxon authority to be Jacob Georg Agardh instead of Georg Matthias von Martens. King & Puttock (1994) argued that Martens did not formally elevate Caloglossa to genus rank in his 1869 publication, preferring to follow Agardh's 1876 treatment instead. The diversity of species within Caloglossa has been heavily studied and subject to much revision. A mix of morphological and DNA analysis has informed researchers on the phylogeny of the genus. As of 2024, are 22 species recognized by AlgaeBase. Caloglossa adhaerens Caloglossa apicula Caloglossa apomeiotica Caloglossa beccarii Caloglossa bengalensis Caloglossa confusa Caloglossa continua Caloglossa fluviatilis Caloglossa fonticola Caloglossa intermedia Caloglossa kamiyana Caloglossa leprieurii Caloglossa manaticola Caloglossa monosticha Caloglossa ogasawaraensis Caloglossa postiae Caloglossa rotundata Caloglossa ruetzleri Caloglossa saigonensis Caloglossa stipitata Caloglossa triclada Caloglossa vieillardii References Category:Delesseriaceae Category:Edible algae Category:Red algae genera Category:Aquarium plants Category:Taxa described in 1869

Ethel M. Kelley

Ethel May Kelley (June 21, 1878 – August 1, 1955) was an American writer of novels, stories, and poems, active in the early twentieth century. Early life and education Kelley was born in West Harwich, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod, the daughter of Gersham Hall Kelley and Laura Etta Small Kelley. She began writing for a local newspaper when she was twelve years old, and sold poems to national publications while she was still in her teens. Career Kelley wrote novels, stories, and poetry. One of her novels, Turn About Eleanor, was adapted for the screen as The Deciding Kiss (1918). Her bestselling novel Wings (1925) was called a "pop-eyed, nutty book", mainly for its flapper characters and backwards timeline. However, the book was also compared with works by Edith Wharton and Willa Cather. Modern young people were also the main characters of Turn About Eleanor (1917) and Beauty and Mary Blair (1921). Kelley was fiction editor at Hampton's Magazine from 1906 to 1913, working with Theodore Dreiser. She commented on children's literature and recommended books for children. In 1927, she was one of the writers in a newspaper roundtable on the subject "Women and Wives—Are they Rebels Against Society?", along with Floyd Dell, Harvey Fergusson, Thyra Samter Winslow, and John Van Alstyne Weaver. She sometimes used the pen names "Barbara Kay" and "Lucia Whitney". thumb|When I Was Little (1915), by Ethel M.

Philander Smith (Mississippi)

Philander Smith (January 11, 1765June 29, 1824) was a colonial-era settler of the Natchez District of Mississippi in North America. He was involved in the political movement to make the district an American territory rather than a Spanish colony. In 1807 he served as foreperson of the grand jury in the Aaron Burr treason indictment. He served in the Mississippi territorial legislature from 1804 to 1811. Biography He arrived in the Natchez District of West Florida with his Loyalist parents in 1776. He was the eighth of 12 children. In 1797 he was a signatory, along with Peter Bryan Bruin, Gabriel Benoist, Daniel Clark, Frederick Kimball, William Ratliff, Roger Dixon, and Isaac Galliard, to a document known as the "Memorial to Congress by Permanent Committee of the Natchez District." The group presented themselves as democratically elected representatives of the white land-owning settlers of Mississippi, and signaled that they would rather be associated with the United States than their current Spanish governors, writing that "...to prevent anarchy, and confusion (when his Catholic Majesty may be pleased to withdraw his troops & cause this Country to be given up to the U.S.) prepare a Constitution or form of Govt for this territory which shall in your wisdom appear the best calculated to ensure to the inhabitants of this settlement in its infant State the blessings of peace safety & good order and that the officers of the new government may have the confidence of the people..." They requested that the U.S. Congress allow the continuation of slavery in the Mississippi lands, writing, "Your memorialists beg leave to represent that great part of the labour in this Country is performed by slaves, as in the Southern States, and without which, in their present situation the farms in this District would be but of little more value to the present occupiers than equal quantity of waste land. From this consideration your Memorialists request that the system of slavery may be continued as heretofore in this territory." In 1798 when the Mississippi Territory was organized he administered the oath of allegiance to the United States to several landed literate white men in his neighborhood, including his brother Calvin Smith. In 1807 he was foreperson of the Mississippi Territory grand jury in the Aaron Burr conspiracy case. He served in the Mississippi Territorial legislature from 1804 to 1811, and as speaker of the territorial house 1804 to 1805. He was buried in a family graveyard near his since-burned plantation along Second Creek.

Sita Swayamvara

thumb|Indian postal stamp showing Lord Rama stringing the divine bow Pinaka at the Sita Swayamvara Shabha in Mithila. Sita Swayamvara (Maithili: सीता स्वंवर) is a popular event in the history of the epic Ramayana in the Indian subcontinent. The event was related to a competition among the kings in the subcontinent to get an offer for marrying with the princess Sita of the Mithila Kingdom. The competition of the Sita Swayamvara was organised at the court of the King Shreedhwaja Janaka in Mithila. Background According to the scriptures of Hinduism, the divine bow Pinaka of Lord Shiva was given to Devarata Janaka of Mithila for its safe-keeping. That bow Pinaka of Lord Shiva was safe till the King Shreedhwaja Janaka as his heritage. It is said that the bow was such a powerful that no one was able to uplift it. There is a story that once princess Sita had lifted this bow in her childhood. When the King Janaka saw the princess Sita uplifting the divine bow Pinaka, he was impressed by her power and then he thought that she was no ordinary maiden. After King Janaka thought that princess Sita should marry to a more powerful man who can uplift and break the bow. Therefore, when the princess Sita later grew up and became eligible for marriage, then the King Janaka organised Swayamvara Shabha at his court for the selection of bridegroom to the princess Sita. In the Swayamvara Shabha, the King Janaka put a condition among the participating kings that to become bridegroom of the princess Sita one had to uplift and break the divine bow Pinaka. Description In different versions of Ramayana, there are some slight differences in the stories of the Sita Swayamvara. In the Ramayana serial of Ramanand Sagar, Sita Swayamvara ceremony is depicted as a single day ceremony at the court of King Janaka in which all the kings or princes of the kingdoms in the entire Aryavarta were invited. But according to some scholars and legends the Sita Swayamvara Shabha ceremony was not organised for a single day but for many different days. According to legend, there is also a story of participation of King Ravan without any invitation. In the story Banashur, the Shabhapati of the assembly for swayamvara, asked introduction with the King Ravana, then Ravana became very angry with him. The dialogue between King Ravana and Banashur is popularly known as Ravana-Banashur Samvada. It is said that Ravana tried to uplift the divine bow of Lord Shiva forcefully there but was not able to uplift the bow. He even failed to move the divine bow a little bit. It is said that princess Sita was also not interested from her heart to adopt Ravana as her life partner. Then he returned from there after being humiliated with the public present in the assembly. According to Shree Ramcharitmanas, the reason behind the failure of Ravana at the Swayamvar Sabha was his proudness of power. It took love, not power, to uplift the bow. The eligibility and virtues of a person to uplift the divine bow were being kind, soft-spoken, gracious and far from ego. Before and after the King Ravana, many other powerful kings and princes tried to uplift the divine bow but no one was able to uplift the bow by their powers. Arrival of princes Rama and Lakshmana It is said that Guru Vishwamitra received invitation from the King Janaka to come in the Sita Swayamvara Shabha. After receiving the invitation, Guru Vishwamitra along with his disciples Rama and Lakshmana went to the Kingdom of Mithila. After few days they reached at the court of King Janaka where Sita Swayamvara Shabha was organised. In the Swayamvar Sabha, when all the kings and princes became unsuccessful in uplifting the divine bow, then Guru Vishwamitra directed his disciple Rama to uplift the divine bow. It is said that the prince Rama first bowed to the divine bow Pinaka of Lord Shiva and then tried to lift it with the same ease and humility as princess Sita. His spirit succeeded and he was able to uplift the divine bow easily. After that he broke the bow. Then princess Sita came to prince Rama. She garlanded him with her swayamvara garland and accepted Lord Rama as her life partner. Legacy In the modern times the Sita Swayamvara ceremony is still played and shown in dramas, theatre and Ramleela, etc. at different parts of the Indian subcontinent. In 2016, Siya Ke Ram television serial of Star Plus made special and grand episodes on the topic Sita Swayamvara. They also launched 15 days Dhanush Yatra that traveled 107 major cities of India accross Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Punjab, etc for the awareness of the popular epic event "Sita Swayamvara" in Ramayana.

Governorship of Mark Gordon

Mark Gordon has served as the 33rd governor of Wyoming since January 7, 2019. A member of the Republican Party, he defeated Democratic challenger Mary Throne in the 2018 Wyoming gubernatorial election in a landslide victory. As governor, Gordon imposed some restrictions on indoor and outdoor public gatherings. He did not implement curfews, temporarily close any businesses or initially impose a statewide mask mandate. Gordon and his wife, Jennie Gordon, contracted COVID-19 later in the month. In December 2020, Gordon imposed a statewide mask mandate. In February 2021, he extended that order until the end of the month. On March 8, 2021, he announced that he would lift the mask mandate on March 16. On March 16, the mask mandate was lifted. As of March 30, Gordon has no plans to reinstate the mask mandate. He was also reelected in a landslide in the 2022 Wyoming gubernatorial election; his 74.07% margin of victory over Theresa Livingston was the state's largest victory ever since. He has generally governed as a conservative. 2018 gubernatorial election Gordon declined to run for Cynthia Lummis's seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2016, the one he ran for in 2008, and instead ran for governor of Wyoming in 2018. He won the Republican primary on August 21 and the general election on November 6, defeating Democratic state representative Mary Throne. Gordon was inaugurated on January 7, 2019. thumb|Results of the 2018 Wyoming gubernatorial election by county He won with 67.12 percent against Throne's 27.54 percent.

This was also the first election that a candidate won all counties since 2010, and the first that a candidate lost all. Policies COVID-19 Gordon imposed some restrictions on indoor and outdoor public gatherings. He did not implement curfews, temporarily close any businesses or initially impose a statewide mask mandate. Gordon and his wife, Jennie Gordon, contracted COVID-19 later in the month. In December 2020, Gordon imposed a statewide mask mandate. In February 2021, he extended that order until the end of the month. On March 8, 2021, he announced that he would lift the mask mandate on March 16. On March 16, the mask mandate was lifted. As of March 30, Gordon has no plans to reinstate the mask mandate. Economy In November 2020, Gordon proposed $500 million in cuts to the Wyoming budget to account for declining revenue from the fossil fuel industry (particularly coal mining), which is crucial to Wyoming's economy. On April 2, 2021, he signed a budget passed by the Wyoming legislature that cut $430 million instead of the $500 million Gordon proposed, due to improved budget forecasts for the year of 2021 and supplemental money from the American Rescue Plan Act signed by President Biden. The budget Gordon signed decreases the amount cut to the University of Wyoming and the Wyoming Department of Health. Environment In 2021, a New York Times investigation revealed that Gordon had been targeted by hard-right conservatives, such as Susan Gore, the heiress to the Gore-Tex fortune. Gore funded secret operatives who targeted Gordon. Part of this is due to Gordon's investment in renewable energy and policy on climate change, which led to a vote of no confidence by the state party. Gordon has embraced wind energy as a part of Wyoming's economic exports, such as the developing Chokecherry and Sierra Madre Wind Energy Project. Abortion On March 18, 2023, Gordon signed SF0109 into law, which banned abortion pills in Wyoming. Social Polling As of 2022, Gordon often polls as one of the nation's most popular governors. Ban On March 7, 2024, Gordon banned Delta 8 hemp in Wyoming. See also Governorship of Ron DeSantis Governorship of Arnold Schwarzenegger Governorship of Rick Perry Governorship of George W.

Diplodus argenteus

Diplodus argenteus, the silver porgy, is an ocean-going species of sparid fish (seabream/porgies) in the genus Diplodus. It is also called the South American silver porgy and the white bream in Uruguay, plus the silver seabream and the sargo though the latter three names are also used for other fish species as well.Nión, H., C. Ríos and P. Meneses, 2002. Peces del Uruguay: Lista sistemática y nombres comunes. Montevideo, DINARA, Infopesca. Taxonomy and naming The silver porgy was originally desrcibed in 1830 by the French zoologist Achille Valenciennes as Sargus argenteus, but it was later moved from the genus Sargus into Diplodus.

[Valenciennes is author of pp. 1-425, 493-559; Cuvier 426-491. i-xviii + 1-470 in Strasbourg ed.] Another binomial name, Sparus sargo, was erected by Dámaso Antonio Larrañaga in 1923 to describe fishes that are now considered to be silver porgies as well, meaning that Sparus sargo is considered a junior synonym for D. argenteus.

See also Devincenzi 1925 Etymology The genus name, Diplodus means "double toothed", a description which was not well-explained, but may have been done in reference to the species' two types of teeth: incisor-like and molar-like, or to the double incisor-like tooth shape common to this genus. The species name argenteus comes from the Latin word for silver, which is a reference to the fish's coloration, rather than its origin near Argentina, or anything to do with Argentina's etymology. Description As its name suggests, this D. argenteus''' silvery coloration (often with a yellowish tint on the scales and fins) is a significant characteristic of its appearance. Wells, V. Carpenter, C. 2011. A Field Guide to Coastal Fishes from Maine to Texas. Baltimore. Johns Hopkins University Press. In addition to its main coloring, there are nine dark, narrow bars that can be faintly visible on the anterior portion of its body (especially in younger individuals, as they fade with age), there is also a large, black blotch on the caudal peduncle, and the opercular membrane is also very dark in color.

Biology Silver porgies eat mostly shellfish especially crustaceans and mollusks, however the remains of algae and polychaete worms have also been found in the stomachs of specimens collected from the Brazilian coast. Relationship with humans The silver porgy is fished commercially, but only traded locally. Able to be caught via angling or through trapping, it makes up a major portion of the catch in the Cabo Frio region of Brazil, but is generally caught incidentally, and is even reported rare from fisheries in other parts of its range such as Cuba. Catches are generally very small and come from Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, through fishing for this species off the United States East Coast and Brazil once dominated the silver porgy catch for most of the late 20th Century. Because of its habitat and distribution, this species is often encountered by recreational SCUBA divers and snorklers. Despite its fairly high probably of being encountered in certain ecosystems, the silver porgy is seldom approaches divers, and generally moves away from divers when approached.

Battle of Tuzla (1878)

The battle of Tuzla was a two-month battle during the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Part of the Muslims was in favor of the fact that if the Ottoman Empire cannot remain, let another superpower come to power. Among the people, mostly Muslims, there was an opposing current that wanted and worked to keep things as they were and to defend the homeland from any attacker who would go to Bosnia. Many Muslims agreed with this trend. The Austrian imperial army advanced in the occupation of Bosnia and the settlements in Bosnia fell one after the other.Gračanički glasnik 31/16 Građa • Atif Hadžikadić: Borba protiv okupacije Bosne i Hercegovine: bojevi oko Tuzle, str. 75-77Bošnjačko oko Borba protiv okupacije Bosne i Hercegovine: bojevi oko Tuzle 1878.g. Dr Atif Hadžikadić, “Novi Behar” (br. 5, 1. VII. 1927., str. 8-9). Historijski retrovizor, 20. ožujka 2015. (pristupljeno 13. listopada 2017.) However, some pockets of resistance were extremely persistent. Tuzla and Zvornik remained among the last. Tuzla fell after a long battle. Zvornik surrendered without weapons and without resistance five days after the capture of Tuzla.  After interventions III. and IV. choir and fierce skirmishes on Mount Majevica, Tuzla was captured on September 22.Pavičić, Slavko (1943). Hrvatska vojna i ratna poviest i Prvi svjetski rat, Zagreb: Hrvatska Knjiga., str. 232 Arrival of the Austro-Hungarian army Austro-Hungarian forces came before Tuzla. On August 8, 1878, six Austrian battalions, 5,000 infantry, one squadron of cavalry, a total of 130 horsemen and three battalions with eight guns each headed for it.(boš.) Radio Kameleon Ibrahim Kabil: Bitka za Tuzlu 10. augusta 1878. godine 13. kolovoza 2017. (pristupljeno 13. listopada 2017.) Among the Muslims who opposed the occupation, the leaders were Hadži Hašimaga Mutevelić, muderis Tosun ef. Kifić, Salih Tučić Sahačija and others from the armed people ("ehalija"). The last Pasha in Tuzla, Muhetin Pasha, was interned in his house. A few days before the first Austro-Hungarian invasion, the Kladniks came to Tuzla on horseback and stripped Pasha of his clothes and dressed him in Bosnian clothes instead of his uniform. Then they immediately returned. Turmoil among Muslims A few days later, the Muslim interim government lasted until a new leader was appointed. The people of Zvornik came and with them Alijaga Talirević who lived there. Armed Muslim opponents of the occupation appointed Alijaga Talirević to the position of elder. Armed Zvornik residents with an armed regiment from Tuzla were preparing to meet the Austro-Hungarian attack. They took the youth and women to the Tuzla area, so only adults who could fight remained in the village. Part of the Muslims collected signatures for the Austro-Hungarian government. Muslim supporters of Austria-Hungary had to hide from the supporters of the resistance. They were hiding from the armed Muslim opponents of the occupation, and before the arrival of Mufti Taslidžak, they took refuge in Tuzla, disguised as Ferez. One prominent opponent took refuge in Morančani with the Catholic Croats, where he was hidden by friars. However, he was found, taken to his Dobrna where he was imprisoned until the Austro-Hungarian victory. Mufti Ganibegović took refuge in Dolove near Ibra Jahić. The first fights The first skirmishes with imperial troops were near Planin, near the later Bistarca station, on a Thursday at the end of July. On that day, the imperial forces camped in Bukinje in front of Donja Tuzla . On the other side, the people of Rogatic came to the aid of Tuzla and immediately entered the battle at Ravna Trešnja . In Tuzla, on that day, they opened a military ammunition depot in Gradina, which they distributed to the people for the fight. In the area of ​​the Tuzla region, the resistance of local Muslims was led by Mufti Mehmed Vehbi Šemsekadić of Pljeval. On August 7, 1878, he arrived in Tuzla with his 1,000 soldiers, and on the western approaches to Tuzla he was joined by defenders from Kladnje, Srebrenik, Lukavac and Zvornik. Around 10 am on August 9, the fighting for Tuzla began. The forces of the Muslim opponents were 3,000 men. Mufti of Pljeval , Mehmed Vehbi Šemsekadić was the main organizer of the defense.Pljevlja, osmanski Taslidža. (boš) Bosnjaci.net Fatih Hadžić: Taslidža - Pljevlja. Serijal iz knjige "Elementi materijalne i duhovne kulture Bošnjaka u Sandžaku" autor Fatih Hadžić, 7. travnja 2015. (pristupljeno 8. prosinca 2017.) On Friday, the bitter fight continued. Around noon of the same day, about two hundred horsemen arrived with Mufti Taslidžak. Taslidžak immediately took command of all the fighting units, and he forced the previously unengaged forces of the armed people to join the fighters and fight together with other Muslims who participated in the battle. The mufti reluctantly forced all those who opposed the fight and those who tried to avoid the fighting to fight with a whip. Mufti Taslidžak further organized the Muslim popular resistance by placing four cannons, one at each point: at Ilinčica, at Papinac, where a hospital was later built, the third at Borić, and the fourth at Bukovčice. The remaining ammunition from the warehouse at Gradina Taslidžak was collected and distributed to the fighters. In the meantime, the Austro-Hungarian forces came to the Moluccas and Rasovac. On August 9, the mufti ordered firing from those four positions. The infantry readily clashed with the Austro-Hungarian army at Kozlovac, Ravna Trešnja and Mosnik . The Austro-Hungarian army was stopped by fierce resistance. Fights were fought throughout Friday, lasted into the night and continued until Saturday noon. The stubborn resistance of the locals forced the Austro-Hungarian forces to retreat. Fierce firing from all sides and the arrival of the Muslim peasantry from the surrounding area to the aid of the mufti and the armed Muslim citizens achieved an effect.  Thus, already on that day, the Austro-Hungarian forces were stopped in front of Tuzla on Moluhama and Husin, beaten and forced to retreat towards Gračanica.(boš.) Vlada Tuzlanskog kantona Historija : Austro-ugarski period (pristupljeno 11. siječnja 2020.) The morning hours of August 10 saw decisive battles on the Moluccas. On the southern side, the Muslim forces were more successful, and on the northern side of the battlefield, the Austro-Hungarian army achieved good results and penetrated to the Tušanjski potok. The main battle was fought on the site of today's Slobode Stadium. There were many dead and seriously wounded Austrian soldiers lying on the battlefield mixed in with the Muslim opponents of the occupation who had died storming the positions of Szapary's army. Due to fierce defense, the Austro-Hungarian army stopped the attack in the afternoon. On that day, the people of Tuzla filled the units of the opponents of the occupation where there were losses. Austro-Hungarian troops had many dead on the battlefield, which he buried on the Moluccas . The buried soldiers were later transferred to Borić , where there was also a Catholic cemetery, but until then there was no such place. Muslim insurgents captured Tuzla on August 13. The lateral positions of the Austro-Hungarian forces were exposed to attacks by mufti's troops from the direction of Tušanj - Moluha and Mosnik - Miladije, so Field Marshal Szapary, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian forces, had to retreat all the way to Doboj.  Taslidžak engaged in persecution of the Austro-Hungarian forces. He chased them to Becelje near Trbuk and Šahin kamen.  Szapary managed to stop Šemsekadić's attacks near Doboj and they dug in there. At that, the Muslim forces dug in and held their position for six weeks. The situation on the surrounding battlefields was not favorable for the Muslim opponents of the occupation. Imperial forces advanced everywhere and captured Sarajevo, Travnik, Rogatica, Krajina and other places, and recently captured Brčko from where they were approaching Tuzla. It is estimated that around 100,000 new Austro-Hungarian soldiers went to the increasingly isolated Tuzla. They advanced towards it from two sides: from Brčko and Doboj. They were commanded by Generals Bienert and Szapary. The favorable position achieved by the rejection was risky to hold, so the mufti, seeing the danger of being surrounded and cut off, retreated back to Tuzla.  Austro-Hungarian forces penetrated through Brčko and Bijeljina towards Tuzla, which forced the Muslim forces to retreat. Tuzla was finally occupied by Austria-Hungary on September 22, 1878 Majevica He was preparing a new defensive line on Majevica . Towards the imperial forces, Taslidžak sent the troops of Hadži Hasimaga Mutevelić with armed people, who were motivated and held back the Austro-Hungarian forces for a while. Mufti Taslidžak held a defensive position on the western side of Tuzla. A fierce battle took place on Majevica. Regrouping and environment The forces of III arrived. and IV. call to help. The Austro-Hungarian forces could now regroup and attack. Gračanica was liberated on September 16 and Lukavac on September 19. Austro-Hungarian forces broke through from the eastern side. There was a threat of encirclement, because in the meantime the imperial forces had occupied Bijeljina and Brčko, and only Zvornik remained. The end of Ramadan was approaching for Muslims . Therefore, on September 23, Taslidžak was forced to withdraw and go to Zvornik. He moved along the Drina with his Taslidžians and some Bosnian leaders, among whom were: Selim bey Šahinpašić from Šapka, Alijaga Tahirević, Esad ef. Alikadić from Zenica and others.

Punta Guaniquilla

Punta Guaniquilla (Spanish for Point Guaniquilla) is a headland or small peninsula located immediately to the south of Buyé Beach and north of Boquerón Bay in the municipality of Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. The entirety of the headland is protected as the Punta Guaniquilla Nature Reserva (Reserva Natural Punta Guaniquilla) by the Conservation Trust of Puerto Rico and the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (Departamento de Recursos Naturales y Ambientales de Puerto Rico, or DRNA for short) since 1977, making it one of the oldest nature reserves officially protected by Puerto Rico Law #150. The nature reserve is famous for its otherworldly lagoon that contains some of the oldest geologic formations in Puerto Rico, in addition to its beaches, coral reefs, mangroves, dry forests and karst caves, one of which is associated with the pirate and folk figure Roberto Cofresí. Apart from its ecological value, the nature reserve also contains and preserves important archaeological sites associated with the indigenous Taino cultures and, more recently, Hacienda La Romana, a 19th-century sugarcane plantation. Geology Punta Guaniquilla forms part of the Puerto Rico southern karst, famous for its red limestone. Dating from the Early Cretaceous, more than 11,000,000 years ago, Punta Guaniquilla also contains some of the oldest geologic formations in Puerto Rico together with the nearby Sierra Bermeja hills. The area also contains strata belonging to the fossil-bearing Cotui Limestone and Sabana Grande Formations. In addition to limestone, the soils also originate from volcanic material that is highly acidic and fertile. Being part of the southern karst region, the area is notable for its caves located towards the relatively hilly center of the peninsula. Ecology The environment of the nature reserve belongs to the Puerto Rican dry forest and Greater Antilles mangroves ecoregions. Fauna Punta Guaniquilla is an important biodiversity spot, being home to fifteen of the seventeen endemic bird species of Puerto Rico. Laguna Cartagena also serves as a stopover for migrating birds from as far as the Canadian Arctic tundra and is designated an Important Bird and Biodiversity Area (IBA) by BirdLife International. The reserve is home to at least 81 species of birds, out of which 24 are migratory and 37 are resident. The West Indian whistling duck (Dendrocygna arborea), locally known as chiriría, is one of the most emblematic native bird species protected in the reserve. Flora The reserve is home to 89 species of tree, 77 species of herbs and grasses, and 46 species of bushes and shrubs, with 7 being endemic and most of the others being native to the island. Key plant species include all three species of mangrove native to Puerto Rico in addition to the almácigo (Bursera simaruba), the coast zapote (Manilkara pleeana), the marunguey (Zamia portoricensis), the pipe organ cactus (Pilosocereus royenii), the Puerto Rico manjack (Varronia rupicola), the roving pricklypear (Opuntia repens), the West Indian mahogany (Swietenia mahagoni), and the rare bromeliad Hohenbergia antillana. History Archaeological evidence shows the area was inhabited by the Taino before and during the arrival of the Spanish during the end of the 15th-century. The area was never formally settled and instead was used for cattle grazing. Throughout its history, some of the caves in the peninsula were used for smuggling, to the point that they were locally associated with the folklore surrounding the pirate Roberto Cofresí, who was active in the area during the early 19th-century. Hacienda La Romana was founded however sometime during the 19th-century. This sugarcane plantation and refinery that became the most prolific in the area during the 1870s. The nature reserve was formally established in 1977, making it the third oldest state-level designated nature reserve in Puerto Rico after the Manatí and Punta Yeguas nature reserves, today Hacienda La Esperanza and Inés María Mendoza Nature Reserves, respectively. In 1988 the area also became one of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-designated Critical Coastal Wildlife Areas of Puerto Rico. Recreation The nature reserve today is open to the public. Access to the nature reserve is through Buyé Beach, one of the most popular beaches in the area. It contains various hiking trails and is popular for activities such as kayaking and birdwatching.

He meets a woman playing the piano, the only person still able to move who invites him to dance. As the pair continued their dance, the rest of the frozen people suddenly began to move again. As the song's chorus lyrics hint, "dancing only with her, the people around were an orchestra accompanying us", the pair spreaded energy intense enough to bring the crowd of dancers back to life. The girl suddenly ran away, leaving Smiley confused and the rest of the dancers frozen again. The latter chases after her downstairs unsuccessful.

The runaway girl appears out of nowhere and starts dancing with Smiley again, on the same waltz rhythm of the very song until the end of the video. Song concept In an interview from January 2019, Smiley explained that the song represents a metaphor of a couple's relationship, a depiction about how two people "adjust" each other when they're together.

Saint Augustine of Hippo and Seraphim of Sarov Monastery

The Saint Augustine of Hippo and Seraphim of Sarov Monastery (Greek: Μονή Αγίων Αυγουστίνου Ιππώνος και Σεραφείμ του Σαρώφ) is a men's communal monastery that belongs to the Holy Metropolis of Phocis and was founded in 1991, by Archimandrite and Elder Nektarios Moulatsiotis, who is still the abbot of the Monastery.apostaseis.gr , «Οδηγικές χιλιομετρικές αποστάσεις μεταξύ πόλεων, χωριών, χωρών - apostaseis.gr». Ανακτήθηκε στις 03/04/2019 .. It is located NE of Nafpaktos at a distance of 13.5 km, near the village of Trikorfo in Phocis, and is built at an altitude of 600m. History The history of the Holy Monastery of Saints Augustine of Hippo and Seraphim of Sarov officially begins in 1991 with the installation of the first monks. Founder and Abbot of the Holy Monastery and spiritual guide is Elder Archimandrite Nektarios Moulatsiotis. In 1984 he decides to build Christian youth camps and returns to Trikorfo, where he begins with the help of God the work. In 1991, the first trainee monks arrived and the manning of the Monastery began. On August 15, 1993, the Catholic Church of the Monastery and the magnificent bell tower with its 400 signs and 62 bells were founded – as a minimum honor and revival of the legendary bell tower of Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. On June 15, 1994, the first Divine Liturgy will be celebrated in the erected Church on the feast day of Saint Augustine and his mother Saint Monica. On July 19 of the same year, on the feast day of Saint Seraphim of Sarov, the bell tower was inaugurated. The legendary Belfry - a symbol of the glory of Orthodoxy and Greece that fell silent in 1453, was about to ring again amidst sacrifices and tears of joy in the Monastery of Trikorfo. Saint Seraphim of Sarov is a healing saint who works miracles on the sick. In a miraculous way, he made his presence evident in 1990 for the first time in the Monastery to campers, believers and monks, at the time of the common prayer that the Elder did one evening during the camping season, when he asked for a sign from God that their prayer was being heard. Bright beams of light then surrounded the space and everything became like day. The date was July 19, the feast of the Saint (collection of his relics), but at that time no one yet knew Saint Seraphim of Sarov. However, the Saint of joy showed the Elder through two other miraculous events his protection and his love for the Monastery that he finally chose to become his home. Thus, through the love and grace of both Saints, the Monastery became known as the "Holy Monastery of Saints Augustine of Hippo and Seraphim of Sarov". 30 monks leave the Monastery. Catholic of the Monastery The Catholic of the Monastery is dedicated to Saint Augustine of Hippo and Saint Seraphim of Sarov. The rhythm of the Catholic is cruciform after a dome. The handmade wood-carved iconostasis has been crafted in Agiaso, Lesvos. It has performances from the lives of the Saints depicted and performances from the Old Testament. In the Holy Altar, according to the monastic Tradition, the Holy Altar is covered by a wood-carved Tabernacle whose canopy is supported by four angels in supplication. In the Holy Altar there are three Holy Tables. The central one is dedicated to Saints Augustine and Seraphim and the other two to Saint Nicholas and Saint Sophia. References Sources Αρχιμ.

Panagia Chrysopodaritissa

The Panagia Chrysopodaritissa Monastery (Greek: Μονή Παναγίας Χρυσοποδαρίτισσας) is a men's communal monastery, founded at the end of the 12th century. Dedicated to Dormition of Theotokos and is celebrated on August 23, the day of Apodosis Dormition of Theotokos, known to the people as the "Nine days of the Theotokos". The monastery is an abode for women with the only exception on the day of the religious festival. It has been declared a protected monument by the Ministry of Culture of Greece and nowadays it is the patron of the Municipality of Erymanthos. It is one of the oldest monasteries of Achaia, but the exact date of its foundation is unknown. It is likely that it was built at the end of the 12th century and the first temple functioned inside a cave with stalagmites on the walls of which hagiographies are preserved. Before its foundation there were hermitages in the area. Discovered 15th century frescoes as well as a 14th-century manuscript trace its foundation at least to late Byzantine times (1204 AD - 1453 AD) and earlier. Location It is located in mountainous Achaia, approximately in the central part of the prefecture and specifically in the historical area of ​​Nezera, administratively under the Local Community of Chrysopigi of the Municipality of Erymanthos. It is built on a cave of Erymanthos, almost at the bottom of the Piros river valley and near its banks, surrounded by centuries-old trees and gardens. It is about 20 km by road from Chalandritsa, 40 km from Patras and 44 km from Kalavryta. Designation According to local folk tradition, there are three versions for the name of the monastery: either it is due to the gold dedication of a believer for the treatment of his leg or feet, invoking the help of Theotokos, or from the "golden", i.e. miraculous, leg of Theotokos who rushes to help when she is invoked, or from the fact that the icon of Theotokos was moved, when the monastery was to be built in a different location from the cave in which it had been found.

Oruwari-Briggs House

The Briggs family is a prominent and influential lineage in Rivers State, Nigeria, deeply embedded in royalty, chieftaincy, and leadership within Kalabari land. The family is extensive and complex, encompassing multiple branches and houses, and has strong connections to the Amachree (pronounced Āmá-kiri) Royal family of the Kalabari Kingdom. Historical accounts suggest that Amachree (I), originally migrated from Amakalakala in Ogbia, another Ijaw sub-group. Primarily of Ijaw ethnicity, the Briggs family belongs to the Kalabari Ijaw subgroup in Rivers State. The family's prominence rose significantly through the Oruwari-Briggs House, previously led by the late High Chief Olu Benson Lulu-Briggs, popularly known as O.B. Lulu-Briggs. In 2012, Forbes estimated High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs' net worth at approximately $500 million, solidifying the Lulu-Briggs family as one of the most renowned and affluent in the Niger Delta region. High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs was among the few Ijaws who secured Oil Mining Licenses (OML) early on and retained them. Instead of selling his license, he transformed it into Moni Pulo Petroleum Development Company (MPPDC), now Moni Pulo Limited (MPL), an oil exploration and production company that employs hundreds of youths and generates significant wealth daily. This strategic decision played a pivotal role in establishing the family's long-lasting economic influence in the region. Historical Background The Oruwari House traces its origins to the Dueinala lineage in the Akialame ward. After Dueinala's era, leadership of the ward passed to Asukein, who lacked the resources to rebuild it. He was succeeded by Ikata, a renowned merchant, who also faced challenges in reuniting the dispersed lineage. The turning point came with Oruwari Biriki, later known as Oruwari-Briggs, who successfully rebuilt Dueinala's ward, which later became known as Dueinala's house. Oruwari's father, Inoma, and his mother, Iniibatangamuari, were both from the Dueinala lineage. His name, Oruwariyibo, reflects these circumstances, meaning "child born in a shrine." Oruwari later returned to Elem Kalabari, where he adopted his grandfather's trade name, Black Jimmy. Like other Ijaw sub-groups, the Kalabari participated in the 19th-century slave trade, acquiring slaves primarily to showcase wealth and expand their workforce. These slaves were eventually freed, with many being adopted into various families within the Kalabari Kingdom. The Kalabari Civil War and its Aftermath The socio-political tensions between the Amachree and Bob-Manuel alliances on one side, and the Awo-Barboy and Oruwari-Briggs alliances on the other, eventually weakened the state, pushing Princewill Amachree to seek British support. This culminated in the Treaty of Protection between Britain and Kalabari in 1883, which was signed by King Princewill Amachree IV and other leaders, including Chiefs Young-Briggs, George Amachree, Bob Manuel, John Bull, and Omekwe Horsefall Manuel. The Kalabari Civil War provided an opportunity for previously conquered communities to regain their independence. The war, combined with the migration of populations from Elem Kalabari and the founding of new towns like Bakana, Buguma, Krakrama and Abonnema, marked the decline of the Kalabari Empire and its transformation into a republic or confederacy. The conflict led to the dispersion of the population, with people settling in new areas based on strategic alliances rather than biological or familial ties. This period marked the beginning of significant changes in the political and social structure of the Kalabari Kingdom, ultimately reshaping the region's history. Activities The modern-day Briggs family is actively engaged in a broad range of activities, including philanthropy, business, and human capital development. Their influence extends far beyond Rivers State, with family members residing in various cities worldwide, contributing significantly across different sectors. Philanthropy and Activism Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, the son of the late High Chief Olu Benson Lulu-Briggs, is a significant figure within the family. He serves as the chairman and CEO of DLB Group, a conglomerate with diverse interests in the oil, gas, and marine industries. In addition, he is the chairman of Platform Petroleum Limited, an oil exploration and prospecting company. His leadership roles extend to his former positions as chairman of the governing council at the Maritime Academy of Nigeria, Oron, and as chairman of the board of management at the Federal Medical Centre, Owerri. His father, High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs, founded Moni Pulo Petroleum Development Company (MPPDC) in 1992, an oil exploration firm. Additionally, he was involved in Krakrama Investment Limited alongside Solate Lulu-Briggs, his daughter, and Lubrick Construction Company Limited. High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs was also a revered elder statesman, politician, trade unionist, businessman, and philanthropist who established the O.B. Lulu-Briggs Foundation, which continues to make significant contributions to the welfare of the less privileged. Ann-Kio Briggs, another notable family member, is an environmentalist and human rights activist. She founded the non-governmental organization Agape Birthrights and has served as the spokesperson for the Ijaw Republican Assembly (IRA) and the United Niger Delta Energy Development Security Strategy (UNDEDSS) as of 2011. Her advocacy work has made her a significant voice in environmental justice and the rights of the Ijaw people. Business and Leadership Hon. Victor Tubotamuno Abiye Briggs is a significant figure within the Briggs family, recognized for his leadership as the CEO of Vic-Briggs Nigeria Limited and his influential role as a political stakeholder in Abonnema City, located in the Akuku-Toru Local Government Area of Rivers State. His contributions highlight the family's continued impact in both business and politics within the region. Additionally, the late Professor Nimi Briggs made significant contributions to the educational sector as a professor emeritus at the University of Port Harcourt. He also served as the second Pro-Chancellor of the Federal University Lokoja and chairman of the university's governing council, leaving a lasting impact on Nigerian higher education. Another notable member of the Briggs family is Dr Ine Briggs. As of 2024, Dr. Briggs serves as the Acting Director General of the Rivers State Bureau on Public Procurement. She is a distinguished certified engineer with the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) and a seasoned Project Management Professional (PMP). With over 24 years of experience, Dr. Ine Briggs brings a wealth of expertise and knowledge to her role. Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, another key member of the family, is the current head of the Oruwari-Briggs House (Iniikeiroari VI). He continues to uphold and build upon the legacy of his father, High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs. High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs was a towering figure, serving as the Paramount Head of the Oruwari-Briggs War-Canoe House of Abonnema, and holding esteemed titles such as Iniikeiroari V of Kalabari Kingdom and Oruwari VI. His leadership and contributions laid a strong foundation for the family's ongoing prominence. Following the death of High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs in late 2018, his wife, Dr. (Mrs.) Seinye O.B. Lulu-Briggs, has emerged as chairman and chief executive of Moni Pulo Limited (MPL), guiding the company with the same visionary approach that her late husband was known for. Dr. Seinye's career began in the Computer Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria, where she honed the skills that would later propel her to success in the private sector. Recognized as one of Africa's top 20 most influential women, Dr. Seinye O.B. Lulu-Briggs has made substantial contributions to the Nigerian economy. She is the driving force behind La Sien Bottling Company, which produces premium beverages, including the well-known La Sien Premium Bottled Water. Additionally, she oversees Soliyama Limited, a company that specializes in haulage, asset-leasing, and manpower management, particularly within the oil and gas industry. Legacy and Influence The late High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs held a profound connection to both the Kalabari Kingdom and the broader Niger Delta region. His state burial was a monumental event, drawing a host of dignitaries from the political, royal, and business spheres, including the 14th President of Nigeria, His Excellency Dr. Goodluck Jonathan (GCFR, GCON), King Dandeson Douglas Jaja V of Opobo, former Nigerian First Lady, Her Excellency Hajia Aisha Buhari, and the former Rivers State Governor, His Excellency Nyesom Wike. The presence of these distinguished figures highlights the significant influence and respect the Briggs family commands in Nigeria. The Briggs family's legacy is defined by its unwavering commitment to the region, playing a pivotal role in shaping the cultural, political, and economic landscape of Rivers State, the Ijaw tribe, and the entire Niger Delta region. Controversy Surrounding the Oruwari-Briggs House Following the passing of High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs, the Oruwari-Briggs House became embroiled in a significant controversy that has attracted widespread attention. The dispute centers around his wife, Dr. Seinye O.B. Lulu-Briggs, and her late husband's sons, particularly the elder sons—Senibo Lulu-Briggs, Dumo Lulu-Briggs, and Sofiri Lulu-Briggs. This conflict has created a deep rift within the family and delayed the burial of the esteemed High Chief. Dr. Seinye alleges that her late husband's sons are obstructing her from performing the burial rites, accusing them of harassment and attempts to undermine her role as the widow. The sons, led by Dumo Lulu-Briggs, have accused Dr. Seinye of being responsible for their father's death, a charge that has further fueled the family feud. The sons reportedly have the backing of some of the compound chiefs in Abonnema, creating a divide between them and Dr. Seinye, who has the support of her four children and has been closely associated with High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs for the past two decades. Despite interventions from prominent figures, including the Amanayabo of Kalabari Kingdom, King Theophilus J.T. Princewill, Amachree XI, who established a committee to mediate the issue, the controversy persisted. Burial dates were repeatedly set and then canceled at the last minute, exacerbating tensions. The conflict also extended to the legal realm, where the sons sought to halt the reading of High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs’ will, claiming it contained specific instructions regarding his funeral. They obtained an injunction from a court in Rivers State to stop the will's reading and later introduced another will purportedly drafted by their father in 2003. This move added another layer of complexity to the already contentious situation. In June 2019, the conflict took a dramatic turn when Dr. Seinye was detained by the Nigerian Immigration Service upon her return from an overseas trip. Her passport was seized, and she was held for hours before being released, thanks to her lawyer's intervention. This incident, along with a previous detention by police from the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (FCIID) in Abuja, where Dr. Seinye was held for five hours, was seen by many as part of a broader effort to intimidate her by her stepsons. The roots of this controversy trace back to the early 2000s when the elder sons of High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs and other siblings took legal action against their father in multiple courts, including those in Abuja, Lagos, Houston, and London, in a bid to seize control of Moni Pulo Limited, the family's oil exploration company. However, High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs successfully defended his position in court, leading to two settlements in which he symbolically “bought” the purported shares of his three eldest sons—Senibo, Dumo, and Sofiri. The agreements stipulated that the sons would relinquish their claims to the company in perpetuity. Now, following High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs’ death, the sons appear to be renewing their efforts to claim their father's assets, a move Dr. Seinye believes is aimed at pushing her aside and disregarding the interests of the family's other children. This ongoing dispute has not only delayed the burial of High Chief O.B. Lulu-Briggs but has also cast a shadow over the legacy of the Oruwari-Briggs House, one of the most prominent families in the Niger Delta. Politics The Briggs family has been a powerful influence in the political landscape of Rivers State for many years. Their involvement spans various significant roles, reflecting their deep-rooted commitment to public service and leadership. Roseberry Robinson Briggs (1925–2013) was a distinguished Nigerian politician and a notable member of the Briggs family. As a member of the National Party of Nigeria, he made significant contributions to the political landscape of Rivers State. Briggs served as the first Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, holding the position for two consecutive terms from 1979 to 1987. In 2015, Tonye Briggs-Oniyide made notable contributions as the Rivers State Commissioner for Culture and Tourism under former Governor Nyesom Wike, where she played a key role in promoting the state's cultural heritage and tourism potential. Hon. Victor Tubotamuno Abiye Briggs has also been an influential political figure, particularly in Abonnema City within the Akuku-Toru Local Government Area, where he has been a key stakeholder in local governance and political decision-making. Chief Dumo Lulu-Briggs, another prominent member of the family, has actively pursued political leadership on a larger scale. He ran for the governorship of Rivers State in the 2019 elections under the National Democratic Party and again in the 2023 elections under the Accord Party. His repeated candidacy underscores the family's enduring influence and continued ambition to shape the political future of Rivers State.

Atlantic Money

Atlantic Money is a London-headquartered financial technology company that offers international money transfers for a fixed fee. The firm was founded in 2020 and officially launched in 2022 by two Americans, Neeraj Baid and Patrick Kavanagh, both early employees of the listed US financial services company Robinhood. Funding Atlantic Money received seed funding of $7.5M over two phases in 2022 from venture capital firms including Kleiner Perkins, Index Ventures (which also funded Atlantic Money's competitor Wise), Coinbase-backer Ribbit, Amplo, Harry Stebbings’ 20VC, Nordstar, Elefund, Susa Ventures, Webull founder Anquan Wang and Robinhood founders Vladimir Tenev and Baiju Bhatt. Business Model Atlantic Money operates on a fixed-fee model for international money transfers, which differs from the percentage-based fees often used by competitors. The company charges a flat fee of £3 or €3 for transfers up to £1 million or €1 million, respectively. This model aims to provide cost savings for customers, particularly for larger transfer amounts where percentage-based fees can become significant. Service Atlantic Money operates on a fixed-fee model for international money transfers, which differs from the percentage-based fees often used by competitors. The company charges a flat fee of £3 or €3 for transfers up to £1 million or €1 million, respectively. This model aims to provide cost savings for customers, particularly for larger transfer amounts where percentage-based fees can become substantial. Coverage and Supported Currencies Atlantic Money offers international money transfer services primarily within the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom. As of 2024, the company's services are available to residents of 29 European countries. Supported Countries Atlantic Money's services are available to residents of the following countries: United Kingdom All 27 European Union member states Norway Supported Currencies While Atlantic Money primarily deals with transfers in euros (EUR), US Dollar (USD), and pounds sterling (GBP), they support transfers to a wide range of global currencies. The exact number of supported currencies may vary and expand over time, but typically includes major world currencies such as: US Dollar (USD) Canadian Dollar (CAD) Australian Dollar (AUD) Swiss Franc (CHF) Japanese Yen (JPY) Danish Krone (DKK) Indian Rupee (INR) Norwegian Krone (NOK) Polish Zloty (PLN) Swedish Krona (SEK) And many others. Users can send money from their EUR, USD, or GBP accounts to these various currencies. Exchange Rates Atlantic Money uses the interbank exchange rate for currency conversions, without adding any markup. This practice, combined with their flat fee model, can result in significant savings for customers, especially for larger transfer amounts. Transfer Limits Atlantic Money allows transfers of up to 1 million pounds sterling or euros per transaction. This high limit is particularly beneficial for customers making large transfers, as the fixed-fee model becomes increasingly cost-effective for larger amounts. Market Position As a relatively new entrant in the international money transfer market, Atlantic Money positions itself as a disruptor to established players like Wise and PayPal. The company's fixed-fee model targets both individual and business customers who frequently make larger international transfers. While specific market share data is not publicly available, Atlantic Money has reported processing over £400 million in total transaction volume as of May 2024. Future Plans As of 2024, Atlantic Money has expressed intentions to expand its services beyond Europe, although specific timelines and target markets have not been publicly announced. The company has also indicated plans to introduce additional features to its platform, potentially including multi-currency accounts and integration with other financial services. Activities Published applications Atlantic Money has released mobile apps for both iOS and Android devices. The iOS app was launched first in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2022. On 9 February 2023, the Android app followed. Atlantic Money launched a desktop version of its app in May 2024 after hitting £400M+ in total volume. The service can be used across 29 European countries to send euros or pounds sterling into different foreign currencies. Complaints about Wise In January 2023, Atlantic Money suspected its competitor Wise of harming competition in an official letter to the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). Wise is said to have removed the cheaper challenger from its international money transfers price comparison table for economic reasons. Atlantic Money also charged Wise with denying access to other price comparison sites that the company owns and controls. In March 2023, Atlantic Money approached the European Commission with its concerns about Wise's conduct. To give people access to a comparison of the two companies, Atlantic Money published a comparison page where it compares in real-time against Wise.

Muyovozi River

The Muyovozi River () is a river in southeastern Burundi, a tributary of the Malagarasi River. Course The Muyovozi River is in the Mosso-Malagarazi depression, which has forest galleries in wooded fringes along the watercourses. The Muyovozi forms in the northwest of Rutana Province and flows south along the RN8 highway, then southeast or south-southeast where it is joined by the Musasa River to the northeast of Bukemba. The Muyovozi continues east to join the Malagarasi River. Falls The Nyaganza Falls are on the Muyovozi River. The Cikinga Falls are on Musasa River, a right bank affluent of the Muyovozi River. The Karera Falls are on the Karera River, a left bank affluent of the Muyovozi River. Sugar The Muyovozi River swamp has been heavily exploited, and contains several sugar cane plantations. The Muyovozi River supplies water to the Moso sugar project in Rutana Province, which was included in Burundi's third five-year economic and social development plan in the early 1970s, but began construction in 1986. It is run by the Moso Sugar Company (SOSUMO SM), founded in 1982. The project is in the Moso natural region. Marshes The Muyovozi-Malagarazi marsh subcomplex starts near Nyabihori (Rwabira) at election, , and reaches downstream along the Malagarazi to the level of the Muvumu colline at elevation, . The Muyovozi River was diverted at Rusabagi at elevation, , which created a large pond dominated by Cyperus papyrus. The Muyovozi River and the Kinwa River meet at and form a large channel that flows towards the Malagarazi through a huge papyrus grove. These channels are used to irrigate rice fields. Protection The upper Malagarazi – Muyovozi system has been protected as a Ramsar site since 2000. The Malagarazi Nature Reserve largely corresponds to the Muyovozi Marshland complex. The Réserve Naturelle de la Malagarazi covers , with a permanent freshwater river that is surrounded by marshes. The reserve is the Burundian part of the Tanzanian Malagarasi-Muyovozi Wetlands Ramsar Site. The reserve is an important breeding ground for endemic fishes of the Congo basin and the Sudano-Zambezian ecoregion. It is host to several bird species including the endangered grey crowned crane, Hadada Ibis and Cape wagtail. It is also home to hippopotamus, which are on the IUCN Red List. It contains a range of types of vegetation including woodlands, gallery forests, savannas and marshes. It is threatened by slash and burn agriculture, deforestation, siltation, the use of toxic chemicals in fishing, and waste water discharges from the nearby sugar-producing industry. A 2024 study of fish in the Upper Malagarazi Basin in Burundi proposed creation of a Muyovozi Nature Reserve to protect the upper stretches of the river, and the endemic fish species in this stretch. The proposed reserve would cover the headwaters of the river, and the main river down to and around the Nyaganza Falls.

Racing career Hall drove in three races for Marsh Racing in the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East in 2018. Driving their No. 31 Chevrolet, he earned a top-10 finish in his series debut at Langley. He then competed in the doubleheader races at South Boston, but unluckily crashed out in both. He finished 11th in the first race and 13th in the second one. Hall made his debut in the ARCA Menards Series in 2019 at their season-opener at Daytona driving Chad Bryant Racing's No. 22 car. It was his only scheduled start of the year, as the primary driver of that car for the season, Corey Heim, was only 16 years old and ineligible to race at the track. It was also announced at that time that he would be returning to Marsh's No. 31 in the East Series for the New Smyrna season-opener in that series. Hall did end up running one more race later in the season, which came at Michigan when Bryant's team fielded a third car, the No. 7, for him. Hall crashed out in that race and finished 16th. For the 2020 ARCA season, Hall returned to CBR, and drove the No. 22 for the second year in a row at Daytona. He had driven for the team along with teammates Jacob Heafner (in the No. 77) and Tom Hessert (in the No. 2) at the series' preseason testing at Daytona the prior month. With CBR's plans and driver lineup not set prior to the start of the season (their full-time driver Joe Graf Jr. moved to the Xfinity Series with SS-Green Light Racing and Heim left for Venturini Motorsports), Hall was entered in the Lucas Oil 200 Driven by General Tire at Daytona International Speedway, however, he would not race for the team in any other races that season. In 2022, Hall competed in the CARS Tour in a reunion with CBR. He finished second in the standings, but winning a race at Jacksonville Speedway. He intended to run the series full time again in 2023 in the No. 77 CBR entry, but due to his success in the NASCAR Advance Auto Parts Weekly Series, he ran only a partial schedule. He ultimately was named the national champion of the NASCAR series. In 2024, Hall returned full-time to the CARS Tour with No. 22 Nelson Motorsports entry. He replaced Landon Huffman, who ran part time for the team in 2023. Hall won his first tour race with Nelson Motorsports at Langley Speedway by .007 seconds in a three-wide photo finish. Hall also had success in other late model races in 2024, winning the first leg of the Virginia Triple Crown at the Tunder Road 200 held at South Boston Speedway and finishing second at the Hampton Heat Race at Langley Speedway. He had previously won the Hampton Heat Race in 2019. On July 31, 2024, it was announced that Hall would make his debut in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series in the race at his home track of Richmond Raceway driving the No. 91 truck for McAnally-Hilgemann Racing. Personal life Connor is from Hampton, Virginia where he was born to Earle and Denise Hall. He has a sister named Kelsey. His father was a Hydroplane racer where he won several world and national titles. Later, Earle became a partner in Bluewater Yacht Sales, where Connor works as a sales professional.

West Styria (National Council electoral district)

West Styria (), also known as Electoral District 6C (), is one of the 39 multi-member regional electoral districts of the National Council, the lower house of the Austrian Parliament, the national legislature of Austria. The electoral district was established in 2012 following the re-organisation of the regional electoral districts in Styria to reflect the new administrative district structure and came into being at the following legislative election in 2013. It consists of the districts of Deutschlandsberg, Leibnitz and Voitsberg in the state of Styria. The electoral district currently elects five of the 183 members of the National Council using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2019 legislative election the constituency had 159,101 registered electors. History West Styria was established in 2012 following the re-organisation of the regional electoral districts in Styria to reflect the new administrative district structure. It consisted of the districts of Deutschlandsberg, Leibnitz and Voitsberg in the state of Styria. The district was initially allocated five seats in April 2013. Electoral regulations require the allocation of seats amongst the electoral districts to be recalculated following each national census and in June 2013 the number of seats allocated to West Styria was reduced to four based on the population as at the 2011 national census. The number of seats allocated to West Styria was increased to five in June 2023 based on the population as at the 2021 national census. Electoral system West Styria currently elects five of the 183 members of the National Council using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. The allocation of seats is carried out in three stages. In the first stage, seats are allocated to parties (lists) at the regional level using a state-wide Hare quota () (valid votes in the state divided by the number of seats in the state). In the second stage, seats are allocated to parties at the state/provincial level using the state-wide Hare quota (any seats won by the party at the regional stage are subtracted from the party's state seats). In the third and final stage, seats are allocated to parties at the federal/national level using the D'Hondt method (any seats won by the party at the regional and state stages are subtracted from the party's federal seats). Only parties that reach the 4% national threshold, or have won a seat at the regional stage, compete for seats at the state and federal stages. Electors may cast one preferential vote for individual candidates at the regional, state and federal levels. Split-ticket voting (panachage), or voting for more than one candidate at each level, is not permitted and will result in the ballot paper being invalidated. At the regional level, candidates must receive preferential votes amounting to at least 14% of the valid votes cast for their party to over-ride the order of the party list (10% and 7% respectively for the state and federal levels).

Biography Elsie Marion Eves was born on 6 June 1915 in Penarth, Glamorganshire, Wales. From 1934 and 1937, she trained as a state registered nurse at Cardiff Royal Infirmary, Cardiff, Wales. She would later move into occupational health during the Second World War, and worked at the Westinghouse Brake and Signal Company in Chippenham, Wiltshire, England. There, she met her future husband Denis Welchman, who was working as an electrical engineer. They married in 1943 in Penarth, Wales, and settled in Bath, England. Her first career ended with motherhood, and they had three children together. Her only son Howard was born in 1955. He was otherwise intelligent but struggled with poor spelling at school for which he was often beaten. Looking for assistance, she reached out to the Word Blind Centre, which had been founded in London in 1963. They educated her on dyslexia and put her in contact with the emerging worldwide effort to combat it. The Orton Dyslexia Society, based in the United States, recommended a method of remediation and a specialist teacher for her son: the results were transformative and Howard would go on to run a publishing business in later life. Looking to expand such help to other children, Welchman established the Bath Association for Dyslexia in 1966. From 1966 to 1973, it ran training schools for teachers and parents with the assistance of Sally Childs of the Orton Dyslexia Society and then local professionals. Influenced by her successes, a number of other associations were founded across the United Kingdom. She also toured the United Kingdom to talk to parents, and undertook a six-week study tour of dyslexia organisations in North America in 1971. In 1972, she expanded her work nationally with the foundation of the British Dyslexia Association (BDA). She ran the BDA as its honorary secretary until 1979. Initially personally seen as a "fussy mother from Bath" and as part of a group of parents who were looking for "convenient excuses for the limitations of their children", they had to contend with politicians and many professionals who refused to accept the validity of dyslexia. Following the death of her husband in 1984, she began to travel internally to campaign for the recognition and remediation of dyslexia. She helped found the European Dyslexia Association in 1987 and then the World Dyslexia Network Foundation in 1995. In the 1992 New Year Honours, she was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) "for services to the British Dyslexia Association". Welchman was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukaemia, and was too ill to attend the BDA's 4th International Conference held in York in early 1997. She died on 19 April 1997 in Hatch End, Middlesex, England; she was aged 81.

Upper Styria (National Council electoral district)

Upper Styria (), also known as Electoral District 6D (), is one of the 39 multi-member regional electoral districts of the National Council, the lower house of the Austrian Parliament, the national legislature of Austria. The electoral district was established in 2012 by the merger of Styria North, Styria North West and Styria West following the re-organisation of the regional electoral districts in Styria to reflect the new administrative district structure and came into being at the following legislative election in 2013. It consists of the districts of Bruck-Mürzzuschlag, Leoben, Liezen, Murau and Murtal in the state of Styria. The electoral district currently elects seven of the 183 members of the National Council using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2019 legislative election the constituency had 271,302 registered electors. History Upper Styria was established in 2012 by the merger of Styria North, Styria North West and Styria West following the re-organisation of the regional electoral districts in Styria to reflect the new administrative district structure. It consisted of the districts of Bruck-Mürzzuschlag, Leoben, Liezen, Murau and Murtal in the state of Styria. The district was initially allocated nine seats in April 2013. Electoral regulations require the allocation of seats amongst the electoral districts to be recalculated following each national census and in June 2013 the number of seats allocated to Upper Styria was reduced to eight based on the population as at the 2011 national census. The number of seats allocated to Upper Styria was reduced to seven in June 2023 based on the population as at the 2021 national census. Electoral system Upper Styria currently elects seven of the 183 members of the National Council using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. The allocation of seats is carried out in three stages. In the first stage, seats are allocated to parties (lists) at the regional level using a state-wide Hare quota () (valid votes in the state divided by the number of seats in the state). In the second stage, seats are allocated to parties at the state/provincial level using the state-wide Hare quota (any seats won by the party at the regional stage are subtracted from the party's state seats). In the third and final stage, seats are allocated to parties at the federal/national level using the D'Hondt method (any seats won by the party at the regional and state stages are subtracted from the party's federal seats). Only parties that reach the 4% national threshold, or have won a seat at the regional stage, compete for seats at the state and federal stages. Electors may cast one preferential vote for individual candidates at the regional, state and federal levels. Split-ticket voting (panachage), or voting for more than one candidate at each level, is not permitted and will result in the ballot paper being invalidated. At the regional level, candidates must receive preferential votes amounting to at least 14% of the valid votes cast for their party to over-ride the order of the party list (10% and 7% respectively for the state and federal levels).

Vila de Gràcia Trophy

The Vila de Gràcia Trophy (Catalan: Trofeu Vila de Gràcia), officially the Trofeu Vila de Gràcia Memorial Carles Capella, is an annual summer friendly football tournament in the Vila de Gràcia, Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain). The tournament is usually held on 15 August, coinciding with the Festa Major de Gràcia, and in the Nou Sardenya, the home stadium of the organising Catalan football club CE Europa. The tournament serves as the official presentation of the first men's team of CE Europa and consists of a single match against an invited team. In 1995, the tournament was first organised to celebrate the reopening of the Nou Sardenya after three years of remodeling. Since that year, the tournament has been disputed every year, except for the editions in 2014 and 2022 (due to constructions in the stadium) and 2020 (due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

Second Scutari-Ottoman War

The Second Scutari-Ottoman War (Albanian:Lufta e Dytë e Shkodrës-Osmane Turkish:İkinci İşkodra-Osmanlı Savaşı) was a war fought in 1795 between the Ottoman Empire and the Pashalik of Scutari, Background After the conclusion of the war with Russia and the war with Austria, Sultan Selim III became acutely aware of the internal challenges facing the Ottoman Empire, among which was the issue of powerful regional magnates, such as Kara Mahmud of Shkodra, who also held the title of Vizier. Despite his involvement in the war against the Russians, Kara Mahmud was regarded as a potential threat by the Sublime Porte, capable of undermining central authority when the opportunity arose. War Kara Mahmud's first campaign Campaign in Vidin Before the end of the war against the Russians, particularly after his deployment to Vidin in 1791, where, as a vizier commanding a large army consisting of 25,000 men, Kara Mahmud demonstrated a willingness to act independently of the central authority, Kara Mahmud helped Osman Pazvantoğlu, a Bosnian ayan who had spent much of his life in Albania, to takeover Vidin and create his own semi independet State. Return to Shkodra Upon his return from Vidin to Shkodra in late 1791, Kara Mahmud committed numerous atrocities, misappropriated funds allocated for military campaigns, and began to reassert his control over the Pashalik of Shkodra. He eliminated rivals and replaced them with allies or family members, effectively restoring the Pashalik to its former strength. The Sublime Porte was informed of Mahmud’s actions by Abdullah Efendi, the provincial treasurer who accompanied him on his travels and witnessed the destruction caused by Kara Mahmud and his forces. Kara Mahmud also turned his attention to commerce, obstructing Venetian activities and supporting the Dulcignote fleet, which operated on his behalf. He imposed additional taxes on tobacco, violating the capitulations granted by the Sublime Porte to foreign merchants in the ports under his control. Aware of Kara Mahmud’s challenge to its authority, the Sublime Porte resolved to eliminate him after the war, seeing his removal as necessary to safeguard the empire’s stability. However, Kara Mahmud, through his agent in Istanbul, Teberdar Ali, was forewarned of the central government's intentions, allowing him to prepare for the impending confrontation. Campaigns in Albania, Kosovo and Macedonia The emergence of Jelali and Kırçalı bands, formed by veterans of the war, led the Kara Mahmud Pasha to intervene militarily to restore order in the Gegalık. He subdued many pashas, beys, and rebels in central Albania, conquering the Sanjaks of Skopje, Dukagjin, Prizren, Pristina, and Ohrid under his control.Kosovo: A Short History . p. 176 Kara Mahmud's actions provoked discontent among the Muslim population of Shkodra, who feared collective punishment from the Sublime Porte. Even his own brother, Ibrahim Pasha, chose to distance himself from Mahmud and aligned with the Sublime Porte. The Sublime Porte then sought to unify southern Albanian notables against Mahmud, securing the loyalty of both Ibrahim Pasha and Mahmud’s nephew, Mustafa Bushati. Additionally, the Porte sought to forge an alliance between Ali Pasha of Tepelena, aiming to consolidate support for a campaign against Kara Mahmud. As a result, the Sublime Porte removed the Kara Mahmud from his position and replaced him with his brother, Ibrahim Pasha. Ebu Bekir Pasha of Belgrade, who was also the Beylerbey of Rumelia at the time, was tasked with removing the Pasha from office. In this campaign, Ebu Bekir was aided by Ali Pasha Tepelena, Ibrahim Pasha of Berat, Jafer Pasha of Skopje, Mustafa Pasha of Kruja, Mehmet Pasha of Elbasan, and Kara Mahmud's brother, Ibrahim Pasha. A 30,000-40,000-strong army marched against him once again. Ottoman campaign Siege of Shkodra The Sublime Porte imposed an economic blockade on Shkodra, aiming to cripple Kara Mahmud’s resources. With the support of various Albanian pashas, Ebu Bekir Pasha advanced on Shkodra. Kara Mahmud retreated to the fortress of Rozafa with 500 of his loyal men while Ottoman forces besieged Shkodra on 20 August 1793. Ebu Bekir Pasha requisitioned seven hundred houses in Shkodra for military use and took forty hostages, imprisoning them in Vlora in an attempt to pressure the local population. However, these measures failed to weaken Kara Mahmud's position. The Ottoman forces persecution of Catholic inhabitants led them to rally behind Kara Mahmud, who, in contrast, showed tolerance and defended their rights. Kara Mahmud withstood the Ottoman siege for three months. On November 30, 1793, Kara Mahmud launched a successful sortie, defeating the besieging forces. The intervention of Catholic Highlanders from Lezha contributed to the retreat of the imperial army, which withdrew first to Elbasan and then to Ohrid, where they joined forces with Ali Pasha of Tepelena. Ali Pasha's campaign Ali Pasha Tepelena, who had his own ambitions for expansion in Albania and had been the most loyal Pasha of the Sublime Porte in Albania since 1792, made the greatest contribution against the Kara Mahmud. In the summer of 1793, leading a large Albanian army, Ali Pasha marched against Korçë and Ohrid, which had previously been under Kara Mahmud's jurisdiction. Aiming to eliminate the threat of Kara Mahmud in Toskeria, he made his conquests with lightning speed. For this, the Sultan rewarded him with the title Aslan (Lion). With his sons, he had managed to suppress every Pro-Shkodran uprising in southern Albania and Macedonia, and for this, the Sublime Porte rewarded him with the title of mir-i miran, while his son, Muhtar Pasha, was given the Sanjak of Ohrid in 1794, which had previously belonged to Ibrahim Bushati. Kara Mahmud's second campaign Reconquest of Southern Albania After the siege of Shkodra and the campaigns of Ali Pasha, Kara Mahmud launched a second campaign to reconquer parts of southern Albania. In the fall of 1794, he attacked and retook the Sanjak of Elbasan and the Sanjak of Ohrid. End of the War and last campaigns in Kosovo and Dibra Kara Mahmud, not wanting to antagonize the Sublime Porte again, wrote to them a letter in early 1794 about his victory and sought their forgiveness and understanding for his campaigns. In his letter to the Sultan, he assured him of his loyalty. The Sublime Porte responded to the rebel Pasha's request by asking him to explain the matter to the Sheikh-ul-Islam, the Grand Vizier. One of the conditions set by the Ottoman Divan for pardoning the Pasha was that he guarantee not to attack other pashas in the future, return the properties he had forcibly taken from beys and pashas, and become a supporter of the implementation of the "Nizam-i Cedid" in his Pashalik. Kara Mahmud accepted the Sublime Porte's offer, and a year later, on March 10, 1795, he officially resumed his posts and titles in Scutari. The pashas of Gjakova, Pristina, and Kruja also became his vassals right after. Battle of Prizren Despite his promises, Kara Mahmud attacked Prizren in Kosovo in 1795, targeting Tahir Pasha Rrotullari, who had ousted his nephew, Mehmet Pasha. Entering Prizren at the head of many troops from Shkodra and central Albania in September 1795, he engaged in a bloody battle in the city, crushing the Kosovar resistance and installing his nephew as the mutasarrif. His victory was so impressive that the Catholic bishop of Prizren, compared him to the biblical Maccabees or Skanderbeg. Kara Mahmud then led a campaign of plunder, devastation, and massacre against the local inhabitants all across Kosovo. Battle of Dibra Yusuf Beg, likely encouraged by Ali Pasha of Tepelena, ousted the previous ruler of Dibra, who had been an ally of the Bushatlis. This act provoked Kara Mahmud to swiftly retaliate. Despite Kara Mahmud's eventual defeat, likely due to the region's mountainous terrain and reinforcements from Ali Pasha, the Bushatlis succeeded in bringing the troublesome region under their control by negotiating an agreement with Yusuf Beg, ultimately converting him into an ally and reannexing Dibra into the Pashalik.

Varoš Gate

right|thumb|Kosančićev Venac right|thumb|Excavations in the area The Varoš Gate (), literally city gate, is a part of the city of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. It got its name from one of the original four historical gates, which allowed access to the city. It is located near the river Sava, Branko's Bridge and Pop-Lukina Street. History thumb|left|250px|Plaque at the location of the Varoš Gate This is one of the oldest parts of the city. In the vicinity of the Varoš Gate, during the Ottoman rule over Belgrade, mainly Serbs lived, while Kalemegdan and Dorćol were under the Otoman administration. avantartmagazin.com: Branislav Nušić: Varoš kapija In 1806, during the capture of Belgrade by the Serbian revolutionaries in the First Serbian Uprising, Sima Marković, one of the leaders of the uprising, led his men into the city through the Varoš Gate; his force was the first to enter the city. The gate was demolished in 1862, during the and the subsequent of the city. It was built of stone and clay and was primarily used to defend the Sava embankment against possible attack. However, compared to the Stambol Gate, it was considerably smaller and its importance was also not that great. In the 20th century, the preserved parts of the neighborhood served as backdrops for several well-known Serbian films and TV series, such as Otpisani (1974–76), The Marathon Family (1982), Underground (1995) by Emir Kusturica. There is also the tavern () "?", which is the oldest in Belgrade, and the St. Michael's Cathedral. Delimitation From the point of view of local administration, this part of the city belongs to Stari grad, which is located on a differently defined area. The area known as the Varoš Gate is defined by the streets Obilićev Venac, Kosančićev Venac, Pop-Lukina, Kosmajska and Carice Milice. This part of the city is located on a slope that leads from the river Sava to Knez Mihailova Street. South of the Varoš Gate, Brankova Street leads to Branko's Bridge, where Savamala begins. In this part of the city, some houses from the 19th century have been preserved, as well as period cobblestone paving. Underneath some of the houses there are extensive cellars and underground passages, that were used by the population during armed conflicts (e.g. World War I and World War II).

2024 Social Democratic and Labour Party leadership election

A leadership election is to be held for the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP) of Northern Ireland on 5 October 2024 following the resignation of Colum Eastwood on 29 August 2024 to focus on his role in the party's New Ireland Commission and as Member of Parliament (MP) for Foyle. The SDLP's other MP, Claire Hanna, ran unopposed for the leadership Background Eastwood was elected SDLP leader in 2015 after successfully challenging Dr Alasdair McDonnell to become the party's sixth leader in what was regarded as a "meteoric rise". The party lost 4 seats in the 2022 Northern Ireland Assembly election, losing ground to Sinn Féin. They held their two seats at the 2024 United Kingdom general election, but their performance was felt to be disappointing. Eastwood's own majority in Foyle was reduced from about 17,000 to just over 4,000. The leadership election briefly overlapped with an Ulster Unionist Party leadership election and an Alliance Party deputy leadership election. Procedure Eastwood will formally resign at the party's conference on 5 October 2024 to allow a new leader to be elected. Nominations for the leadership opened on 30 August with only Member of Parliament (MP) for Belfast South and Mid Down Claire Hanna and the party's eight Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) eligible to put their names forward over the following seven days. +Key datesDateEvent30 AugustNominations opened.6 SeptemberNominations closed at 12:00 BST.5 OctoberEastwood will formally resign at the party's conference.https://www.itv.com/news/utv/2024-09-01/claire-hanna-confirms-bid-to-seek-sdlp-leadership The new leader will be elected or ratified.

Jacques Philippart

Jacques Philippart (11 January 1909 – 25 August 1940) was a Belgian flying ace who served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the Second World War. The first Belgian flying ace of the war, he is credited with the destruction of at least six aircraft. Born in Mont-Saint-Guibert, Philippart joined the Aeronautique Militaire (Belgian Air Force) in 1932. He became well regarded for his flying ability, and was an aerobatic pilot. He flew in combat operations during the German invasion of Belgium in May 1940 but was withdrawn to France and served at the headquarters of the Aeronautique Militaire. Evacuated to the United Kingdom after the fall of France in June, he joined the RAF and was posted to No. 213 Squadron. He shot down a number of German aircraft during the Battle of Britain but was killed on 25 August after claiming his final aerial victory. Early life Jacques Arthur Laurent Philippart was born on 11 January 1909 at Mont-Saint-Guibert, in Belgium. He was a university student when he decided to join the Aeronautique Militaire (Belgian Air Force) in 1932, training at Wevelgem. Appointed a sergeant pilot, he became well regarded for his flying skills and represented Belgium in an aerobatic competition in Switzerland in 1937. By this time, he was a commissioned officer. In May 1938, he was part of the aerial escort for King Leopold III's visit to Holland for the baptism of Beatrix of the Netherlands. For this service, he was appointed a Knight of the Order of Orange-Nassau by Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands. Second World War Shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, Philippart was sent to the United Kingdom where he investigated the operational techniques of the Royal Air Force (RAF) with a view to passing on this knowledge to Belgian aircrew. In May 1940, when the Germans invaded Belgium, he flew a number of sorties before being withdrawn to France, along with much of the Belgian armed forces. There he was attached to the headquarters of the commander of the surviving elements of the Aeronautique Militaire, General Legros, liaising with the RAF which required regular trips to the United Kingdom. He was eventually evacuated from Bayonne, disembarking from a Dutch vessel at Plymouth on 23 June. Battle of Britain By agreement with the Belgian government in exile, pilots like Philippart were enlisted into the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve while serving with the RAF. Holding the rank of pilot officer, in early July he was sent to No. 7 Operational Training Unit at Hawarden to train on the Hawker Hurricane fighter. Philippart was then posted to No. 213 Squadron on 23 July. His new unit, equipped with Hurricanes, was based at Exeter in Devon, as part of No. 10 Group, and tasked with interception duties and patrolling along the English Channel. Philippart destroyed a Junkers Ju 88 medium bomber over Portland Bill on 11 August. This was followed three days later with his shooting down of three Messerschmitt Bf 110 heavy fighters to the south of Portland Bill. He also claimed a fourth Bf 110 as probably destroyed. On 22 August, he destroyed a Ju 88 to the south of Exmouth; with this aerial victory, Philippart became the first Belgian flying ace of the Second World War. On 25 August, Philippart destroyed a Ju 88 near Portland but was shot down after this engagement by Hans-Karl Mayer of Jagdgeschwader 53 (fighter wing 53). Philippart bailed out before his Hurricane crashed into the English Channel, coming down into the sea as well. He did not survive in the water and his body was recovered when it drifted onto the English coast a few days later. Philippart was posthumously awarded the Belgian Croix de Guerre in January 1943. After the war, in September 1946, he received another posthumous award, the Cross of the Order of Leopold with Palm. Originally buried in Exeter Cemetery, his body was relocated to Belgium and reinterred in the Belgian Airmen's Field of Honour at the Brussels Cemetery in October 1949. thumb|right|Philippart was posthumously awarded the Belgian Croix de Guerre in 1943 Military aviation historians Christopher Shores and Clive Williams credit Philippart with having destroyed six German aircraft, with another aircraft considered probably destroyed.

Meurig ab Arthfael

thumb|upright=1.3|Map of medieval south-east Wales, fifth to thirteenth centuries. The number "9" west of Gwent is listed in the map legend as Morgannwg, which superseded Glywysing as the name for the kingdom at the end of the tenth century.|alt=Map of south-east Wales (or Mouric, ruled ) was a king in south-east Wales. In the seventh century, Gwent was a single kingdom covering south-east Wales, but in the ninth century it was divided between Glywysing (Glamorgan), which had a higher status, and a smaller Gwent, covering the area which is now Monmouthshire. Historians disagree whether was king of Glywysing, with authority across south-east Wales, or only of Gwent. His sons and were only kings of Gwent, and they were subject to their cousin Hywel ap Rhys, King of Glywysing. The twelfth-century Book of Llandaff records charters in which Meurig granted land to the church or guaranteed grants by others. Two charters state that he ordered all churches were to be free from obligations to laymen, and in the view of the historian Wendy Davies, he was one of the few kings who attempted to guarantee ecclesiastical immunity from widespread lawlessness and arbitrary use of power. Historians disagree about his death date. Some date it definitely as 874, but others think that the Meurig whose death is recorded in 849 is also possible. Background The boundaries and names of Welsh kingdoms varied over time in the early medieval period. In the seventh century, south-east Wales was a single kingdom called Gwent, but historians of Wales do not agree on the situation in the ninth century, when some kings made grants in locations across the territory, while others were confined to the eastern part. Thomas Charles-Edwards thinks that the old Gwent was divided between Glywysing (later Morgannwg and then Glamorgan) in the west and a smaller Gwent (now Monmouthshire) in the east, with the ruler of Glywysing being an over-king. Wendy Davies argues that it is more likely that the old Gwent remained a single kingdom now called Glywysing. Patrick Sims-Williams thinks that either may be true, and that they "may amount to the same thing". Kingship The main sources for King are charters recorded in the twelfth-century Book of Llandaff. Much of this book is fraudulent, and until the late twentieth century most historians dismissed it as worthless, but since the work of Davies on the charters in the 1970s, they have been reappraised, and while some are judged to be forgeries, others are regarded as genuine in whole or part. However, they are undated, and it is not always clear which is being referred to. Confirmation that and his sons, and , ruled in the ninth century is provided by their notice in two independent sources. Asser in his biography of Alfred the Great mentions " and (sons of and kings of Gwent)", and charter 199bii is a grant by King , witnessed by his sons and . Davies dates 's reign as . Almost nothing is known of history in south-east Wales immediately before his time as his reign follows a gap in the Llandaff charters of some fifty years. His predecessor as king was probably his second cousin, Ithel ab Athrwys, who was killed in battle in 848 and was apparently the last of his line. According to a Harleian genealogy, Meurig was a son of . Davies locates 's grants across Glywysing and Gwent, and she and Charles-Edwards state that he ruled both territories as king of Glywysing. Charles-Edwards suggests that he and his brother probably ruled Glywysing successively. Sims-Williams dissents, arguing that in the only charter placing in Glywysing, his name was later interpolated, and that he had no power outside Gwent. Rhys ab Arthfael's son Hywel ap Rhys was king of Glywysing, and his cousins, 's sons, had an inferior status as kings of Gwent. Charters thumb|upright=1.2|Folio from the Book of Llandaff|alt=Page from the Book of Llandaff Medieval Welsh kings owned large landed estates, and a charter in the Book of Llandaff records a grant by to the church. In about 868, he surrendered the church at Tryleg to Bishop Cerennyr in charter 199bii. Around 850, charters 169b and 170 state that ordered that all churches were to be released from obligations to laymen. Davies comments that the Llandaff charters give an "impression of lawlessness and of the arbitrary use of royal power by those who held it." In her view, is one of the few exceptions, as he seems to have attempted to protect ecclesiastical immunity, but he cannot have been wholly successful as charters continued to grant churches in the tenth and eleventh centuries. Several charters approved by record grants by laymen to ecclesiastics. Two dated to around 850 record grants to Bishop Grecielis with Meurig's guarantee. In charter 169b, Fauu gave Cilpedec (Kilpeck) church with its land, and in charter 170 Cuinncum returned Cum Mouric (Little Dewchurch?) church to the bishop. In charter 74 dating to around 860, consented to a grant by Britcon and Iliwg of Lann Mocha (St Maughans) to Archbishop Dyfrig's church, but in another version (171b) of the charter guaranteed their grant of Lann Bocha to Bishop Grecielis, and it is not clear which version is genuine. Death Historians of Wales do not agree when died. Charles-Edwards thinks that he may be the whose death is recorded in the under 849, but Bartrum states that his death is recorded in 874 (in the Annales Cambriae for 873, recte 874). Davies argues that "the claims of the relative chronology of the witness sequence are such as to suggest that , the King of grants 169b-171b, 199bii (214?), 216b, 225 died in 874 rather than 849". Sims-Williams mentions both dates as alternatives. The royal line descended from appears to have ended with . Notes Citations Sources Category:9th-century Welsh monarchs
