70188178 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C8%98tefan%20Vellescu | Ștefan Vellescu | Ștefan Vellescu (December 24, 1838–October 2, 1899) was a Romanian stage actor and drama teacher.
Born in Craiova, he ran away from school at age 16, joining the local troupe of Costache Mihăileanu. Removed thence by his family and sent to continue his education in Bucharest, he again fled shortly afterward, appearing in minor theatrical roles. He then joined Matei Millo’s troupe at Sala Bossel. Four years later, Vellescu entered Elena Theodorini’s company at Craiova, earning plaudits in roles from Caterina Howard (Errico Petrella), La Dame aux Camélias (Alexandre Dumas fils), Othello (William Shakespeare) and Les Filles de marbre (Théodore Barrière), as well as playing the lead in Alfred de Vigny’s Chatterton.
Vellescu then returned to Bucharest, subsequently moving to Iași, where he played in Don César de Bazan (Jules Massenet) and The Barber of Seville (Pierre Beaumarchais). Briefly stopping in Bucharest again, he played the title role in V. A. Urechia’s Vornicul Bucioc. In 1867, sent by Urechia, he left for Paris, studying drama under François-Joseph Regnier. Three years later, he returned to the stage, distinguishing himself in Le Supplice d'une femme (Dumas fils), King John (Shakespeare) and Le gamin de Paris (Jean-François Bayard), the latter in 1877.
In 1873, Vellescu was named professor of declamation at the Bucharest Conservatory, where his students included Grigore Manolescu, Constantin I. Nottara and Ion Brezeanu. Among his publications are Istoria artei dramatice in Revista românească and Curs de declamațiune in Revista literară, as well as criticism. He wrote several dramas and comedies that appeared at the National Theatre Bucharest, where he was assistant director: Lăpușneanul, Banul Craiovei, Prea târziu, Mincinosul (in which Aristizza Romanescu played), Blond sau Brun and Hagi-Bina. He authored several poems and short stories, including “Din Florești”, “Moș Tudor” and “Schițe din viața contimporană”. He served on the Bucharest City Council and, from 1890 to 1895, was employed by the vital records division.

70188215 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olkaria%20VI%20Geothermal%20Power%20Station | Olkaria VI Geothermal Power Station | The Olkaria VI Geothermal Power Station, also known as the Olkaria VI Geothermal Power Plant, is a power station under construction in Kenya, with an electric capacity of 140 megawatts. The plant will be developed under a public private partnership (PPP) model, where the state-owned Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) will co-own the power station with a strategic partner.
Location
The power station would be located in the Olkaria area, in Hell's Gate National Park, in Nakuru County, approximately , by road, northwest of the city of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Olkaria VI would sit adjacent to Olkaria II Geothermal Power Station.
Overview
The Olkaria VI power station is designed to generate 140 MW, to be sold directly to Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KenyaPower), for integration into the Kenyan grid. About from the site of Olkaria VI, lies a 220kV substation, where the output from this power station will be directed for evacuation.
KenGen has drilled and tested steam holes and prepared the site where the power station will be built. When a strategic partner is identified and selected, an ad hoc special purpose vehicle (SPV) company will be formed, with KenGen owning 25 percent of the SPV.
Developers
In May 2020, KenGen concluded the first bidding round for the selection of the strategic partner. Four companies and one consortium were selected to proceed to the second round of bidding. The five entities are listed in the table below.
Notes: The Engie/Toyota Consortium comprises (a) Engie Energy Services of the United Kingdom (b) Toyota Tsusho Corporation of Japan (c) Kyuden International Corporation and (d) DL Koisagat Tea Estate.
Operations
The plan calls for the strategic partner to own, finance, build, operate and maintain the power station for the duration of the PPP contract. At the end of that contract, ownership would revert to KenGen. During the contract period, KenGen would be responsible for supplying the steam required to run the power station.

70188266 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomaderris%20helianthemifolia | Pomaderris helianthemifolia | Pomaderris helianthemifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Rhamnaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is a bushy shrub with hairy young stems, narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and small panicles of hairy yellowish flowers.
Description
Pomaderris helianthemifolia is a bushy shrub that typically grows to a height of , its stems covered with greyish to rust-coloured, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped or oblong, long and wide with stipules long at the base but that fall off as the leaf develops. The upper surface of the leaves glabrous and the lower surface is densely covered with soft, greyish, star-shaped hairs. The flowers are borne in panicles of about twenty to fifty and are yellowish. The sepals are long but fall of as the flowers mature and there are no petals.
Taxonomy
This species was first formally described in 1858 by Siegfried Reissek who gave it the name Trymalium helianthemifolium in Linnaea: ein Journal für die Botanik in ihrem ganzen Umfange, oder Beiträge zur Pflanzenkunde, from specimens collected by Ferdinand von Mueller in "Gipps Land". In 1951, Norman Arthur Wakefield changed the name to Pomaderris helianthemifolia in The Victorian Naturalist.
In 1997, Neville Grant Walsh and F. Coates described two subspecies in the journal Muelleria, and the names and those of the autonym are accepted by the Australian Plant Census:
Pomaderris helianthemifolia (Reissek) N.A.Wakef. subsp. helianthemifolia (the autonym);
Pomaderris helianthemifolia subsp. hispida N.G.Walsh & Coates has leaves long with stiff bristles or hairs on the upper surface;
Pomaderris helianthemifolia subsp. minor N.G.Walsh & Coates has leaves long with stiff bristles or hairs on the upper surface.
Distribution and habitat
This pomaderris usually grows on the banks of rocky streams. Subspecies helianthemifolia is only known from two restricted areas in Gippsland, in the Maffra-Briagolong area and near the Genoa River. Subspecies hispida is widespread, but not common in a few locations in New South Wales and in north-eastern Victoria and subspecies minor is found in north-eastern Victoria, but no longer occurs near Bendigo.

70188369 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip%20hop%20in%20Malawi | Hip hop in Malawi | Hip hop culture in Malawi is relatively young. Notable rappers who were early on the scene include Criminal A, Bantu Clan, Real Elements, Dynamike, Dominant 1, Knight of the Round Table, and Wisdom Chitedze. The scene started to gain traction in the late 90s and expanded further in the early 2000s when cheap computers and recording gear became widely available to artists. The launch of Television Malawi in 1999 provided a platform for rappers to have their music videos beamed to a national audience. The music video to Wisdom Chitedze's song Tipewe was on regular rotation on the station in its early days. In the early to mid-2000s artists such as Nospa G, M Krazy, David Kalilani, and Gosple helped push the music further. A lot of Malawi's early hip hop music contained social commentary, religious, and introspective themes.
By the late 2000s the scene had picked up further with artists such as Barry One, Basement, Mandela Mwanza aka Third Eye, Hyphen, Fredokiss, and Tay Grin gaining notoriety. Tay Grin's music video for the song Stand Up was featured considerably on Channel O. He was not the first Malawian rapper to get his song on that station; that accolade goes to the Real Elements. However, Tay Grin's got much more airplay. In 2009, Phyzix released his debut studio album The Lone Ranger LP which contained the hit singles Cholapitsa and Gamba. Around the same time, Christian rap started to gain popularity and that movement was spearheaded by Manyanda Nyasulu, DJ Kali, KBG, Double Zee, Liwu, C-Scripture, Asodzi, Erasto, Suffix, and Sintha.
Some of the producers who helped pioneer the sound of Malawian hip hop include Dominant 1, Dynamike, Maj Beats, The Dare Devils, Kond1, Keith Justus Wako, Qabaniso Malewezi, Tapps, Dizzo, Sonye, Kas Mdoka and Rebel Musiq.
DJs such as Dr Gwynz and Kenny Klips also helped push the music on radio. They hosted a show called The Hip Hop Drill which involved playing rap music and a phone-in rap competition whereby rappers called in and competed to spit the best bars.
Other rappers of note that helped push the music forward include Gwamba, Martse, Genetix, L Planet, King's Rifles, Sage Poet, and Episodz.

He is a Senior Researcher in the Laboratory for Studies in Economic Sociology at the Higher School of Economics, and heads Russia's first MA program in political philosophy at the Moscow School for the Social and Economic Sciences.
In early 2022, Yudin warned of a lack of political awareness amongst the Russian population about the Russo-Ukrainian crisis. On 22 February 2022, Yudin predicted that Putin was "about to start the most senseless war in history". After participating in protest against the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, he was beaten unconscious by police and needed treatment at the Sklifosovsky Institute in central Moscow.

70188464 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amar%20K.%20Mohanty | Amar K. Mohanty | Amar K. Mohanty is a material scientist and biomaterial engineer, academic and author. He is a Professor and Distinguished Research Chair in Sustainable Biomaterials at the Ontario Agriculture College and is the Director of the Bioproducts Discovery and Development Centre at the University of Guelph.
Mohanty has received a lot of recognition for his work in the field of bioplastics, biocomposites and advanced biorefinery. He has authored over 800 publications, has been cited over 43,000 times, and has 25 patents awarded. He is also the author of 25 book chapters, and 5 edited books, entitled Natural Fibers, Biopolymers, and Biocomposites, Packaging Nanotechnology, Handbook of Polymernanocomposites. Processing, Performance and Application: Volume A: Layered Silicates, Biocomposites: Design and Mechanical Performance, and Fiber Technology for Fiber-Reinforced Composites.
Mohanty is a Fellow of American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), Society of Plastics Engineers, Royal Society of Chemistry, and Royal Society of Canada. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of Sustainable Composites, Composites Part C -Open Access.
Early Life and Education
Mohanty was born in Odisha, India. He spent early life in Cuttack and Bubaneshwar, India. He studied at the Capital High School, Bhubaneswar.
Mohanty studied at Utkal University, and earned his bachelor's degree with Distinction in Chemistry in 1978, a master's degree in Polymer Chemistry in 1980, and Doctoral degree in chemistry in 1987.
Career
Following his Doctoral degree, Mohanty held appointment as a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer in 1987 at Government Colleges affiliated with Berhampur and Utkal University, India. From 1998 till 1999, he held brief appointments as Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at Berlin Institute of Technology, and as Post-Doctoral Associate at Iowa State University. Following these appointments, he joined Michigan State University as a Visiting Research Associate in 2000, and was promoted to Visiting Associate Professor in 2001, and to associate professor in 2003. He then moved to Canada, and held his next appointment at the University of Guelph as a professor in the Department of Plant Agriculture and School of Engineering.
Mohanty was Premier's Research Chair in Biomaterials & Transportation from 2008 till 2020, Research Leadership Chair from 2017 till 2020, and became OAC Distinguished Research Chair in Sustainable Biomaterials in 2020. Since 2007, he has also been serving as Director/Executive Committee Member of American Institute of Chemical Engineers at Forest Product Division.
Research
Mohanty has focused his research on engineering value-added uses of biomass wastes and industrial co-products from agro-food and biofuel industries. He has also worked extensively on circular economy, environmental sustainability, waste plastic valorization, biodegradable plastics as single-use plastic alternatives, biocarbon based composites and 3D printing of sustainable materials.
Biocarbon Composites
Mohanty was the first to demonstrate that biocarbon significantly improves barrier properties when used as a filler in composite materials. He demonstrated that biocarbon acts as an oxygen scavenger to improve oxygen barrier of biodegradable polymers and blends. Furthermore, he explored the impact of poly(propylene carbonate) polyol in the context of biobased epoxy interpenetrating network.
Mohanty was among the pioneers to report the effectiveness of bicarbon as a reinforcing agent, filler, and colourant in thermoplastic composites. He explored several ways to increase the renewable content in plastic resins, developed high-quality biocarbon from a variety of non-food biomass sources, and also showed that the morphology and allotropy of renewable biocarbon can be manipulated for materials design. He was the first to use biocarbon in thermoplastic composites and demonstrate its high potential in industrial applications, to be used as a reinforcement in polymer composite materials and to substitute carbon black, mineral fillers like talc, and short glass fibre. His research regarding biocarbon-based plastic biocomposites is utilized by Ford Motor Company, Volkswagen, General Motors, and Tesla, while conducting their trials of automotive parts.
Biocomposites
In his studies regarding bio-based plastics and bio-based fillers, Mohanty designed biocomposites to utilize closed-loop strategies to improve sustainability through the value-added integration of agri-food residues. While using “waste” from reclaimed coffee bean skins with more expensive compostable plastic blends, he developed numerous commercial resins, including the world's first 100% compostable coffee pod certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI). His invention combines the advantages of biodegradable plastics, green chemistry, reactive extrusion, and process engineering, along with the integration of the industrial ‘waste’ product of the coffee roasting industry. Mohanty along with Misra also developed a “green floor” formulation, based on a plant derived plastic resin, poly(lactic acid) (PLA). His innovation eliminated plasticizers containing harmful phthalates.

70188466 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound%20and%20language%20in%20Middle-earth | Sound and language in Middle-earth | J. R. R. Tolkien was both a philologist and an author of high fantasy. He had a private theory that the sound of words was directly connected to their meaning, and that certain sounds were inherently beautiful. Scholars believe he intentionally chose words and names in his constructed Middle-earth languages to create feelings such as of beauty, longing, and strangeness. Tolkien stated that he wrote his stories to provide a setting for his languages, rather than the other way around. Tolkien constructed languages for the Elves to sound pleasant, and the Black Speech of the evil land of Mordor to sound harsh; poetry suitable for various peoples of his invented world of Middle-earth; and many place-names, chosen to convey the nature of each region. The theory is individual, but it was in the context of literary and artistic movements such as Vorticism, and earlier nonsense verse, that stressed language and the sound of words, even when the words were apparently nonsense.
Context
Author
As well as writing high fantasy, J. R. R. Tolkien was a professional philologist, a scholar of comparative and historical linguistics. He was especially familiar with Old English and related languages. He remarked to the poet and The New York Times book reviewer Harvey Breit that "I am a philologist and all my work is philological"; he explained to his American publisher Houghton Mifflin that this was meant to imply that his work was "all of a piece, and fundamentally linguistic [sic] in inspiration. ... The invention of languages is the foundation. The 'stories' were made rather to provide a world for the languages than the reverse. To me a name comes first and the story follows." Human sub-creation, in Tolkien's view, to some extent mirrors divine creation as thought and sound together bring into being a new world.
Artistic and literary movements
The Tolkien scholar Dimitra Fimi notes that around 1900 there were multiple artistic and literary movements that stressed language and the sound of words, and the possibility of conveying meaning even with words that were apparently nonsense. These included Italian Futurism, British Vorticism, and the Imagism of the poet Ezra Pound. Fimi further observes that in the late 19th century, nonsense poets such as Lewis Carroll with his Jabberwocky and Edward Lear sought to convey meaning using invented words.
Tolkien's "linguistic heresy"
An aesthetic pleasure
The scholar of English literature Allan Turner writes that "the sound pattern of a language was the source of a special aesthetic pleasure" for Tolkien. The Tolkien scholar Tom Shippey notes that in The Fellowship of the Ring, the Sindarin poem A Elbereth Gilthoniel, is presented directly without translation:
Shippey asks rhetorically what any reader could be expected to make of that. He answers his own question by stating that Tolkien had a private theory of sound and language. This was that the sound of words was directly connected to their meaning, and that certain sounds were inherently beautiful. He intentionally chose words and names in his constructed Middle-earth languages to create feelings such as of beauty, longing, and strangeness. Shippey gives as one example Tolkien's statement that he had used such names as Bree, Archet, Combe, and Chetwood for the small area, outside the Shire, where Hobbits and Men lived together. Tolkien selected them for their non-English elements so that they would sound "queer", with "a style that we should perhaps vaguely feel to be 'Celtic'".
Shippey calls this "Tolkien's major linguistic heresy". It would work, he explains, if people could recognise different styles in language, somehow sense the depth of history in words, get some degree of meaning just from the sounds of words, and even judge some sound combinations beautiful. Tolkien, he writes, believed that "untranslated elvish would do a job that English could not". Shippey notes, too, that Tolkien is recorded as saying that "cellar door" sounded more beautiful than the word "beautiful"; the phrase had however been admired by others from at least 1903.
An unconventional view
Tolkien's point of view was a "heresy" because the usual structuralist view of language is that there is no connection between specific sounds and meanings. Thus "pig" denotes an animal in English but "pige" denotes a girl in Danish: the allocation of sounds to meanings in different languages is taken by linguists to be arbitrary, and it is just an accidental by-product that English people find the sound of "pig" to be hoglike.
Tolkien was somewhat embarrassed by the subject of his linguistic aesthetics, as he was aware of the conventional view, due to Ferdinand de Saussure and strengthened by Noam Chomsky and his generative grammar school, that linguistic signs (such as words) were arbitrary, unrelated to their real-world referents (things, people, places). The Tolkien scholar Ross Smith notes that Tolkien was in fact not the only person who disagreed with the conventional view, "unassailable giants of linguistic theory and philosophy like [Otto] Jespersen and [Roman] Jakobson" among them.
More recently, Sound symbolism has been demonstrated to be widespread in natural language. The bouba/kiki effect, for example, describes the cross-cultural association of sounds like "bouba" with roundness and "kiki" with sharpness.
True names
A specific form of direct association of word and meaning is the true name, the ancient belief that there is a name for a thing or a being that is congruent with it; knowledge of a true name might give one power over that thing or being. Tolkien hints at true names in a few places in his Middle-earth writings. Thus, the Ent or tree-giant Treebeard says in The Two Towers that "Real names tell you the story of the things they belong to in my language", while in The Hobbit, the Wizard Gandalf introduces himself with the statement "I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me".
In the case of Tom Bombadil, an enigmatic character in The Fellowship of the Ring who always speaks in a singing metre and often sings, Turner comments that "the propositional content of language seems to have been absorbed into the music of the sounds alone". Further, Shippey notes, when Tom Bombadil names something, like the ponies that the Hobbits are riding, "the name sticks – the animals respond to nothing else for the rest of their lives".
Analysis
Linguistic geography
In Turner's view, Tolkien's "linguistic heresy" explains why he believed that his use of different linguistic choices would allow his readers to feel, without understanding why, the distinct nature of each region of Middle-earth.
Keatsian listening
Tolkien allows his characters to listen and appreciate "in highly Keatsian style", enjoying the sound of language, as when the Hobbit Frodo Baggins, recently recovered from his near-fatal wound with the Nazgûl's Morgul-knife, sits dreamily in the safe Elvish haven of Rivendell:
When the Hobbits meet Gildor and his Elves while walking through the Shire, they get the feeling, as Turner comments, that even though they do not speak Elvish, they "subliminally understand something of the meaning". In The Two Towers, while a party of the Fellowship of the Ring is crossing the grassy plains of Rohan, the immortal Elf Legolas hears Aragorn singing a song in a language he has never heard, and comments "That, I guess, is the language of the Rohirrim ... for it is like to this land itself, rich and rolling in part, and else hard and stern as the mountains. But I cannot guess what it means, save that it is laden with the sadness of Mortal Men". When Gandalf declaims the Rhyme of the Rings in the Black Speech of the evil land of Mordor at the Council of Elrond, his voice becomes "menacing, powerful, harsh as stone" and the Elves cover their ears. When the Dwarf Gimli sings of the Dwarf-King Durin, the gardener Hobbit Sam Gamgee says "I like that! I should like to learn it. In Moria, in Khazad-Dum!" Shippey remarks that Sam's response to the sound of language is "obviously ... a model one".
Phonetic fitness of Tolkien's constructed languages
The linguist Joanna Podhorodecka examines the lámatyáve, a Quenya term for "phonetic fitness", of Tolkien's constructed languages. She analyses them in terms of Ivan Fonágy's theory of symbolic vocal gestures that convey emotions. She notes that Tolkien's inspiration was "primarily linguistic"; and that he had invented the stories "to provide a world for the languages", which in turn were "agreeable to [his] personal aesthetic". She compares two samples of Elvish (one Sindarin, one Quenya) and one of Black Speech, tabulating the proportions of vowels and consonants. The Black Speech is 63% consonants, compared to the Elvish samples' 52% and 55%. Among other features, the sound /I:/ (like the "i" in "machine") is much rarer in Black Speech than in Elvish, while the sound /u/ (like the "u" in "brute") is much more common. She comments that in aggressive speech, consonants become longer and vowels shorter, so Black Speech sounds harsher. Further, Black Speech contains far more voiced plosives (/b, d, g/) than Elvish, making the sound of the language more violent. Podhorodecka concludes that Tolkien's constructed languages were certainly individual to him, but that their "linguistic patterns resulted from his keen sense of phonetic metaphor", so that the languages subtly contribute to the "aesthetic and axiological aspects of his mythology".

70188896 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin%20Arsanis | Benjamin Arsanis | Benjamin Arsanis (; 1884–1957) was an Assyrian politician, writer, teacher and historian. Arsanis was, together with Freydun Atturaya and Baba Parhad, one of the co-founders of the first Assyrian political party, the Assyrian Socialist Party, and he served as the head of the party's central committee. Arsanis was also a prominent member, and in cases founder, of other Assyrian organizations, such as the Society of Assyrian Literary Culture which in the 1910s sought to increase enthusiasm for the Assyrian language and culture. Remembered by modern Assyrians as a respected patriot, writer and orator, Arsanis published several important works on language and history.
Biography
Arsanis was born in 1884 in the village of Digala in Urmia, Iran. Arsanis studied at a newly established Orthodox shool in Urmia from 1898 to 1910. After completing his studies there, he travelled to Russia, where he studied history at the Lazarev Institute of Oriental Languages. He later returned to Urmia and taught at his old school until it closed in 1918.
On 10 May 1912, Arsanis founded the Society of Assyrian Literary Culture, with the purpose to "increase enthusiasm for the nation and to expand authorship in the spoken language". The society, with Arsanis as director, met weekly for discussion meetings. Per the society's 1912 bylaws, both men and women could join and members were free to leave whenever they wished to. Arsanis strongly supported efforts to develop printing houses for Assyrian literature.
Inspired by the February Revolution in Russia, Arsanis in early 1917, together with the other Assyrian activists Freydun Atturaya and Baba Parhad, founded the Assyrian Socialist Party. The Assyrian Socialist Party, founded in Urmia, was the first ever Assyrian political party and prominently advocated for the creation of an independent Assyrian state in the Assyrian homeland, closely allied to the nascent Soviet Union. Originally operating under the full name Assyrian Socialist Party of the Transcaucasus, the Assyrian Socialist Party is today seen as the first step towards the many later Assyrian political organizations. Arsanis was chosen to be the head of the party's central committee. Later in 1917, the party established cells in various villages in Urmia and Salmas, as well as throughout the Transcaucasus (including Tbilisi and Yerevan) and reached more than two hundred full members.
Members of various Assyrian organizations were repressed in the early Soviet Union on account of their nationalist organizing. Some were arrested, some were sent to labor camps and some, such as Atturaya, were killed. Despite this, Arsanis continued to be involved in various Assyrian movements, at times within Soviet borders. Between 1925 and 1938, Arsanis and David Ilyan were the chief editors of the Assyrian magazine Kukva d'Madinkha, published in Tbilisi.
From 1952 to 1970, there was an increased Assyrian cultural output in Iran. The Iranian Assyrian community had two private schools (Behnam and Chouchon), its own magazine (Gilgamesh) and the newly founded Assyrian Youth Cultural Society. Arsanis, alongside other authors such as Nemrod Simono, Kourosh Benyamin, Pira Sarmas and William Sarmas, was an important figure in this movement and published several important works in the modern Assyrian language. Arsanis died in 1957.
Legacy
Arsanis is remembered by modern Assyrians as a respected patriot, orator and writer. An esteemed writer, particularly on language and history, many of Arsanis's works have been lost, though several also survive. In 2008, twelve of his books; Teaching Assyrian Language (two volumes), Assyrian Proverbs, The Fall of the Assyrian Empire, Assyrian Monument in China, Prophet Mohammed's Documents, Assyrian Accomplishments in Asia, The Tragedy of 2,000 Assyrian Maidens, Rescue of Iran, Assyrian History Relative to Kurds, Book of Riddles and A Short Story, were collected, edited and annotated in a single volume by author Youel A. Baaba.
During the visit of Mar Dinkha IV, the Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, to Russia in June–July 1982, the patriarch met with Guiwarguis and Marouna Arsanis, sons of Benjamin Arsanis, to discuss possible measures to be taken for the construction of an Assyrian church in Moscow.

70188969 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palazzo%20Filangeri-Cut%C3%B2%2C%20Palermo | Palazzo Filangeri-Cutò, Palermo | The Palazzo Filangeri-Cutò is a Baroque-style aristocratic palace located on via Maqueda 26 in the ancient quarter of Albergheria of central Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. Once the urban palace of a wealthy and prominent family, since the 19th-century the palace has been subdivided into numerous apartments and businesses, and in dire need of restoration.
History
The Filangeri family had been prominent in Sicily since the time of the Norman invasion. Alessandro I Filangieri e Bologna, born in 1664, had inherited the title of Baron of Miserendino, but upon marrying Giulia Platamone e Sisini, he had acquired the title of Prince of Cutò. Alessandro commissioned the large palace in the small town of Santa Margherita in Belice. His grandson, the 4th prince of Cutò, Alessandro II Filangieri e Gravina (1696-1761), commissioned this palace in Palermo. Construction lasted over 70 years and was not completed till 1760, the design is attributed to a priest, Giacomo Amato. The main internal staircase is attributed to Giovanni del Frago.
The last Filangieri to own this palace was Giovanna Nicoletta Filangieri (1850-1891) 9th Princess of Cutò. She also inherited the palace in Santa Margherita. She married Lucio Mastrogiovanni Tasca, Count of Almerita (1842-1918), and had five children. The eldest, Beatrice Mastrogiovanni Tasca Filangeri, married the Prince of Lampedusa, and was the mother of the famous author, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa.
The Filangieri, however, had been closely allied with the Bourbon monarchy and lost prestige after their overthrow by Garibaldi in 1860.
The palace was sold in the late 19th-century to the Baron Cirino di Nicosia, who subdivided the property into further owners. The large library once housed in the palace, and in 1838 was donated by Prince Nicolo to form part of the Biblioteca Comunale of Palermo. Alessandro was also reputed to have a prominent art collection, since dispersed.
Description
The main facade of the once large palace faces Via Maqueda with three similar portals, each consisting of a rounded arch flanked by two protruding large grey marble doric columns. The palace has numerous balconies supported by brackets and fronted by iron grill railings. The central arcade creates an arch (Arco de Cuto) over a small street/alleyway, via Chappara al Carmine, that leads to the Ballarò open market than runs behind the palace.

70188989 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022%20Russian%20financial%20crisis | 2022 Russian financial crisis | An ongoing financial crisis began in the Russian Federation in late February 2022, in the days after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent economic sanctions targeting the Russian banking sector, Vladimir Putin, and his government.
Background
Since 2014, Russia had been facing sanctions over its annexation of Crimea which hurt its economic growth. In 2020 to 2021, the COVID-19 recession and the 2020 Russia–Saudi Arabia oil price war also affected the Russian economy. Additional sanctions occurred in the lead-up to the invasion, and there was a stock crash merely from the military buildup.
Impact
Cost of food and crops
Wheat prices surged to their highest prices since 2008 in response to the attack. Ukraine is the fourth-largest exporter of corn and wheat and the world's largest exporter of sunflower oil, with Russia and Ukraine together exporting 29% of the world's wheat supply and 75% of world sunflower oil exports. The benchmark Chicago Board of Trade March wheat futures contract reached its highest price since 2012 on 25 February, with the prices of corn and soybean also spiking. The American Bakers Association president warned that the price of anything made with grain would begin rising as all the grain markets are interrelated. The chief agricultural economist for Wells Fargo stated that Ukraine will likely be severely limited in their ability to plant crops in spring 2022 and lose an agricultural year, while an embargo on Russian crops would create more inflation of food prices. Recovering crop production capabilities may take years even after fighting has stopped. Surging wheat prices resulting from the conflict have strained countries such as Egypt, which are highly dependent upon Russian and Ukrainian wheat exports, and have provoked fears of social unrest. On 24 February, China announced that it would drop all restrictions on Russian wheat, in what the South China Morning Post called a potential "lifeline" for the Russian economy.
Crude oil
As a result of the invasion, prices for Brent oil briefly rose above $100 a barrel for the first time since 2014 before losing some of its gains. In total from 22 February when sanctions started to 28 February when sanctions on Russia's Central Bank were applied, the price of West Texas Intermediate and Brent rose by roughly $5/bbl.
On 27 February, BP, one of the world's seven largest oil and gas companies and the single largest foreign investor in Russia, announced it was divesting from Rosneft. The Rosneft interest comprises about half of BP's oil and gas reserves and a third of its production. The divestment may cost the company up to $25 billion and analysts noted that it was unlikely that BP would be able to recover a fraction of this cost. The same day, the Government Pension Fund of Norway, the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, announced that it would divest itself from its Russian assets. The fund owned about 25 billion Norwegian krone ($2.83 billion) in Russian company shares and government bonds.
International organizations and corporations
Kristalina Georgieva, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, warned that the conflict poses a substantial economic risk for the region and internationally, and added that the Fund could help other countries impacted by the conflict, complementary to a $2.2 billion loan package being prepared to assist Ukraine. David Malpass, the president of the World Bank Group, said that the conflict would have far-reaching economic and social effects and reported that the bank was preparing options for significant economic and fiscal support to Ukrainians and the region.
Corporate boycotts and removals of service

UPS and FedEx announced that they would halt shipments to Russia and Ukraine.

Netflix will not add 20 Russian "propaganda" channels to their service, despite a requirement to host them under Russian law.
Fonterra, one of the world's largest dairy producers, suspended shipments of all its dairy products to Russia.
Stock markets, banking sector and the ruble
In Russia, the first round of economic sanctions in response to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine had an immediate effect. The Russian stock market crashed, falling 39%, as measured by the RTS Index, on 24 February, the first day of the invasion, recovering over 26% in the following day; however, on 28 February, a Monday, the Moscow stock exchange closed for the day because of the "developing situation".
The ruble fell to record lows as Russians rushed to exchange money. Moscow and St Petersburg Stock Exchanges were suspended. The Central Bank of Russia announced its first market interventions since the 2014 annexation of Crimea to stabilize the market. It also raised interest rates to 20% and banned foreigners from selling local securities. The sanctions put Russia's sovereign wealth fund at risk of disappearing. Long lines and empty ATMs have been reported in Russian cities.
The second round of sanctions which saw various Russian banks removed from SWIFT and direct sanctions on the Russian Central Bank saw the value of the ruble fall 30% against the U.S. dollar, to as low as ₽119/$1 as of 28 February. The Russian central bank raised interest rates to 20% as a result, in an attempt to balance the sinking ruble, it temporarily shut down the Moscow Stock Exchange, mandated that all Russian companies sell 80% of foreign exchange reserves, and prohibited that foreigners liquidate assets in Russia.
Also on 28 February, Mastercard Inc. blocked multiple Russian financial institutions from its payment network. On 1 March, VISA Inc. announced that it had blocked those on the sanction list and that they were "prepared to comply with additional sanctions that may be implemented". Binance, the worlds largest cryptocurrency exchange also announced that it would block Russian individuals who have been sanctioned but would not unilaterally freeze all Russian users accounts.

70189140 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shalash | Shalash | Shalash (Šalaš) was a Syrian goddess best known as the wife of Dagan, the head of the pantheon of the middle Euphrates area. She was already worshiped in Ebla and Tuttul in the third millennium BCE, and later her cult is attested in Mari as well. She was also introduced to the Mesopotamian and Hurrian pantheons.
Both in ancient Mesopotamian texts and in modern scholarships a long-standing issue is the differentiation between Shalash and the similarly named Shala, wife of the weather god Ishkur/Adad in Mesopotamia.
Name
The etymology of the name Shalash is unknown. Based on the attestations in the Ebla texts, theories of Hurrian origin can be rejected. However, as noted by Alfonso Archi, there is no plausible Semitic etymology either, similar as in the case of other Syrian deities like Kubaba or Aštabi. Lluis Feliu proposes that it might have originated in an unknown substrate language.
The spellings dsa-a-ša, dsa-a-sa and dša-la-ša are attested in documents from Ebla.
In Old Babylonian Mari the name was commonly written logographically as dNIN.HUR.SAG.GA. It is also possible that texts from the same city mentioning Ninlil and Ninkugi refer to Shalash.
In Yazılıkaya, the name is written in hieroglyphs as (DEUS)sa-lu-sa. The spelling Shalush is also known from Hurrian texts.
In Emar the name of Dagan's wife was written as dNIN.KUR, presumably as an extension of writing his own name logographically as dKUR. It has been proposed that this deity can be identified with Shalash, and that the western scribes treated dNIN.KUR as a synonym of dNIN.HUR.SAG.GA based on similar meanings of the names. A goddess named Ninkur is also known from Mesopotamian god lists, though there she is instead one of the ancestors of Enlil.
The god list An-Anum lists the Sumerian names Ninkusi ("lady of gold"), Ninudishara ("mistress who amazes the world") and Ninsuhzagina ("Lady, diadem of lapis lazuli") as synonymous with Shalash.
Association with other deities
Shalash was the wife of Dagan, and together they stood at the head of the pantheon of the middle Euphrates area in ancient Syria. No known text specifies if she was believed to have any ancestors. It is assumed that Adad was viewed as her son in Mari. Lluis Felieu additionally proposes that Hebat, the goddess of Halab (Aleppo) was a daughter of Shalash and Dagan.
In the texts from Ebla, Shalash is also associated with Wada'an(u), a god distinct from Dagan, worshiped in Gar(r)amu rather than Tuttul. Alfonso Archi proposes that they were regarded as consorts. It is assumed that his name had origin in a Semitic language. Unlike Dagan, Wada'an is not attested in any later sources.
In Hurrian tradition, Shalash was regarded as the wife of Kumarbi due to the syncretism between him and Dagan.
The Mesopotamian god list An-Anum equates Shala with Ninlil, and her husband with Enlil.
Shalash and Shala
In modern scholarship, Shalash is sometimes confused with Shala, a Mesopotamian goddess regarded as the wife of Adad.
According to Daniel Schwemer, while a degree of confusion between the two goddesses is also present in some ancient sources, it is largely limited to scholarly Mesopotamian texts, and no older than the fourteenth century BCE. According to Lluis Feliu, most evidence for it comes from the first millennium BCE.
In the god list An-Anum, Shalash is listed as one of the alternate names of Shala. However, it also separately equates Shalash (but not Shala) with Ninlil. In a late explanatory text, Ninkusi/Shalash is addressed as "Shala of the western steppe." In a single copy of a Maqlû ritual from Assur, Shala occurs in place of Shalash, present in other known copies of the same text.
Lluis Felieu rejects the possibility that the two were originally the same, and especially that the confusion between them was caused by Dagan being a weather god himself and thus analogous to Adad. He also notes that Shala is well attested in art as a goddess associated with the weather, while the character of Shalash, based on parallels with the wives of heads of other pantheons of ancient Near East (for example Ninlil, wife of Enlil and Athirat, wife of El), would be unlikely to resemble that of the wife of the Mesopotamian weather god. Additionally, the spelling of the name of the goddess paired with Adad in devotional inscriptions is consistent between various time periods and languages, and never ends with a sibilant.
There is very little evidence for confusion of the two goddesses in Hurrian and Hittite sources. Daniel Schwemer considers a treaty of king Shattiwaza to be one example. Lluis Felieu proposes that for Hurrians and Hittites the source of confusion might have been the fact the final -š in the name of Shalash name could be interpreted as a case ending in their languages, but he also remarks that the only possible instances might also represent simple scribal mistakes.
Worship
The earliest attestations of Shalash come from Ebla from the third millennium BCE. There is no indication she was commonly worshiped in that period, however. She was associated with the god Wada'an(u) worshiped in Gar(r)amu, a city in the Eblaite territory. In the documents of the royal vizier Ibrium there is also evidence for an association between dsa-a-ša (Shalash) and DBE du-du-luki, "lord of Tuttul," a title of Dagan. A statue of Shalash was apparently an object of cult in Tuttul.
In later periods the cult of Shalash is well attested in Tuttul, and Alfonso Archi goes as far as proposing that the view that she was the wife of Dagan originated in this city. However, there is presently no evidence that she was worshiped in the other cult center of her husband, Terqa.
In Halab Shalash was worshiped alongside Dagan and Hebat in the pagrā'um ritual, part of a mourning ceremony.
Both the worship of Shalash and her association with Dagan are well attested in Old Babylonian Mari. In earlier periods she already had a temple in this city, at one point rebuilt by Nûr-Mêr. Kings closely linked to the worship of Shalash (dNIN.HUR.SAG.GA) and Dagan include Yaggid-Lim, Yahdun-Lim and Zimri-Lim. Shalash was also worshiped by Hurrians living in the city. She appears in a number of theophoric names both from Mari itself and from the nearby Chagar Bazar, for example Shalash-tappi ("Shalash is my partner") and Shalash-turiya ("Shalash" is my refuge).
In Mesopotamia Shalash appears with Dagan on seals from the Isin-Larsa period.
In Hurrian sources she is listed in kaluti (offering lists) of the circle of Hebat, in some documents immediately after this goddess herself, in others between Aya and Adamma. She is also known from the kaluti of Shaushka. While in the former she appears with Kumarbi, he is absent from the latter. As early as in the Old Babylonian period Hurrians referred to Shalash as "Pidenhi." This epithet was derived from Piden (also spelled Bitin), a settlement mentioned in the texts from Alalakh, which was a cult center of this goddess.
On the reliefs from the Yazılıkaya sanctuary, Shalash is represented between Nabarbi and Damkina (figure number 52).

Triangle coins, probabaly pre-Mongolian mordovkas «of silver and copper, 22x23 mm size, with a depiction of a woman in a headdress» are described by Vyacheslav Zavaryukhin as he specifes they should be referred to as Mukhsha coinage according to the Christian Frähn's list.
Mongol Invasion
In September 1237 the Mongols invaded kingdom Murunza (Moxel 'Mokshaland' in Latin sources). They seized the capital Noronshasht and killed all the city dwellers. Narchat's father and brother together with Murunza army joined the Mongol hordes on their way to Europe. As soon as she found out her father, brother and many Moksha warriors were killed in Germany she attacked the Mongol convoys passing Mokshaland. On their way from Europe, Mongols returned to Murunza and seized Sernya. The city was burnt down, all the defenders were killed. Princess Narchat with a small group of warriors broke out of the burning fortress but Mongols chased her. Her men were slain and she jumped into the ice-hole in river Moksha and drowned together with her horse.

Sutliyan is written by Sudeep Nigam and Abhishek Chatterjee. This web-series is produced by Manor Rama Pictures. Sutliyan will be releasing on 4th March 2022 on ZEE5.
Plot
Sutliyan is a warm and fuzzy family drama set in the city of lakes and gardens Bhopal. The Chandel family gets together after a long interval for Diwali but unlike other years, everything is different now. Rajan(Shiv Panditt), Ramni(Plabita Borthakur) and Raman(Vivaan Shah) lost their father at the beginning of the early lockdowns and none of them could make it to his funeral, much to the angst of their mother Supriya (Ayesha Raza). The family reunites and while there is joy and nostalgia, as often happens with families, there is a fair share of angst and drama. The threads that bind us all together – Sutliyan - keep the family tied, yet we see an unspooling and unravelling at the same time.

70189253 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musselkanaal | Musselkanaal | Musselkanaal (also: Stads-Musselkanaal; Gronings: Muzzelknoal) is a town in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is located in the municipality of Stadskanaal. It was established by the city of Groningen in the 1840s to exploit the peat. It used to be part of the municipality of Onstwedde, but was merged into Stadskanaal in 1968.
History
The Bourtange moor was located in the south-east of Groningen. It was a raised bog with few inhabitants. Around 1600, corporations started to exploit the peat. In 1635, the city of Groningen took control, and established the , as a colony. The colony had advanced to Stadskanaal where it ended due to a border conflict with the province of Drenthe. In 1615, the border had been defined by the Semslinie, and the village and monastery of Ter Apel was assigned to Drenthe. In 1817, the line was modified with the so-called Koningsraai which assigned Ter Apel to Groningen.
In 1819, Groningen started extending the in a south-eastern direction close to the provincial border. The canal was initially called Stads-Musselkanaal and contains two bends due to the Koningsraai. In 1850, the canal was renamed . The village was named after the canal. Musselkanaal is a linear settlement, and contains five side-canals along which houses were built. There is a large park and sports ground in the south of the town. The Horstenerbos, a forest area, is located on the northern side.
The peat extraction resulted in an immigration from neighbouring Germany. Many of the immigrants were Catholics, and in 1843, a Catholic church was built in Zandberg. In 1903, a parish was established in Musselkanaal. It used to have a railway line and trainstation. In 1955, the line closed for passengers, and for goods in 1990. In 1992, the section Veendam–Stadskanaal–Musselkanaal was bought by which operates a museum line with steamtrains. The town used to be part of the municipality of Onstwedde, but was merged into Stadskanaal in 1968.

70189432 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20Munchausen%20by%20proxy%20cases | List of Munchausen by proxy cases | This is an incomplete list of Munchausen by proxy cases. Also known as Factitious disorder imposed on another, Munchausen by proxy is a condition in which a caregiver creates the appearance of health problems in another person, typically their own child. This may include injuring the proxy or altering test samples. The caregiver then presents the proxy as being sick or injured. Permanent injury or death of the proxy may occur as a result of the disorder. Although the caregiver typically does not benefit from their own behaviour, there are notable cases where the caregiver defrauds charities, insurance companies or local friends and family under the guise of using this for the aid of the proxy.
This list is not exhaustive and may not reflect all cases.
Notable victims
Jennifer Bush: used in a large-scale fraud involving political elites who saw the girl's case as an example of the need for medical reform; mother Kathy Bush was later discovered to have caused Jennifer's symptoms in a case of Munchausen by proxy.
Olivia Gant: killed by the removal of her feeding tubes after years of medical abuse by her mother, Kelly Renee Turner-Gant; Gant was convicted in 2022.
Julie Gregory: childhood victim of her mother's Munchausen by proxy, which she survived and later documented in her memoir, Sickened: The Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood
Hannah Milbrandt: girl who was convinced that she suffered from terminal cancer by her parents in a situation of Munchausen by proxy, using community donations in a widescale act of fraud. This is one of the first contested Munchausen by proxy cases, causing a debate about whether it was a situation of true Munchausen, or just medical fraud.
Garnett Spears: killed due to brain swelling induced by repeated salt poisoning by mother Lacey Spears, who was later convicted of murder.
Notable perpetrators
Beverley Allitt: British serial killer with Munchausen by proxy, who purposely sickened and killed a number of minor children.
Dee Dee Blanchard: Dee Dee, a Hurricane Katrina survivor, faked multiple chronic illnesses of her daughter, Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, both for sympathy and charitable benefits. Her abuse of Gypsy-Rose led to the girl eventually aiding a secret boyfriend in the murder of Dee Dee, after which the abuse was finally discovered. Gypsy-Rose's experience has been dramatized in movies and TV shows.
Wendi Michelle Scott: mother charged with child abuse after purposely sickening her four-year-old daughter.
Fictional examples
Edward "Eddie" Kaspbrak from the Stephen King novel It developed hypochondriac behaviours after a childhood living with his single mother in a situation of Munchausen by proxy.
Mandy Phillips from Fragile: British little girl with osteogenesis imperfecta, a condition purposely worsened by obsessed nurse Charlotte when she notices the girl's bones beginning to heal.
Esme Stoller from Love You to Death: a fictional cosplay fan and victim of her mother's Munchausen by proxy, told that she has cancer and developmental delays; Esme is loosely based on real-life victim Gypsy-Rose Blanchard.
Adora Crellin in the miniseries Sharp Objects poisons her daughter Marian.

The duties of nanushi included tax collection, general village administration, management of public natural resources (such as mountain, field, river and ocean) of the village called iriai, as well as negotiating with the territorial lord as the representative of the villagers.
The post was typically monopolized by one or more powerful peasant families through hereditary succession, though nominally appointed by the territorial lord who paid salary to the nanushi. The post was sometimes sold to the highest bidder, but was typically only given to a qualified person.
In castle towns (jōkamachi), there were town heads called machi-nanushi. In contrast to the nanushi of a village who served under a district magistrate (gun-dai), the machi-nanushi served under a town magistrate (machi-bugyō) or a ward head (machidoshiyori). A machi-nanushi was a townsman (chōnin).
History
Both the terms nanushi and shōya, meaning a village head, derive from medieval terms. In the Middle Ages, nanushi (<ZH><ZH>) was read as myōshu and referred to feudal lords of territorial fields (myōden) who were divided into petty lords (shōmyō) and magnates (daimyō), and shōya (<ZH><ZH>) referred to the manor building of a manorial estate.
In the Edo period, a new system of village administration was established, with three types of village officials appointed in each village: nanushi, kumigashira (<ZH><ZH>), and hyakushōdai (<ZH><ZH><ZH>). For each village there was one nanushi, a number of kumigashira, and one or more hyakushōdai. While the nanushi was the village head, the kumigashira were his advisors or assistants, and the hyakushōdai was the representative of village peasants who surveyed the work of village administrators. These offices were generally established between 1688 and 1704.

70189645 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halina%20Poon | Halina Poon | Halina Poon Suk-han () is a Hong Kong educational worker, currently serving as a member of the Election Committee, which is responsible for electing the Chief Executive.
Education career
Poon is the founding principal of Christian and Missionary Alliance Sun Kei Secondary School. She was promoted to the chairlady of the Hong Kong Subsidized Secondary Schools Council from vice-chair in 2016, and stepped down in 2020. A year later, Poon ran in the 2021 Election Committee Subsector elections as a pro-Beijing candidate from the newly formed Education Professional Alliance. She was elected with the highest vote amongst other candidates in the Education subsector.
Poon is also the member of the Council of the City University of Hong Kong. She had previously served as the courtier of the University of Hong Kong until 2020, and sat in a number of commissions of the Hong Kong Government as members. Poon was awarded the Medal of Honour by HKSAR Government in 2007 in recognition of her enthusiastic participation in educational and social affairs.
In February 2022, it is announced that Poon will become the principal of Guangzhou Nansha Minxin School for Hong Kong Children starting from September 2022. The primary-and-secondary school is headed by Leung Chun-ying, Hong Kong's former Chief Executive and vice-chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
Political stance
Poon was regarded as pro-Beijing after joining the establishment-leaning teacher's group Education Professional Alliance. The Election Committee is also described as skewing the pro-Beijing camp.
During her tenure as Subsidized Secondary Schools Council chair, large-scale protests erupted in the city. Poon was criticised for not signing a petition for an independent commission of inquiry. She later supported an independent commission of inquiry but on the arrest of teenagers. In the speech, she called on the Hong Kong authorities to rescue the institutions and livelihood, and hoped the Chinese Government not to give up on Hong Kong. She also claimed the fear of China for suppressing freedom of speech stems from bandwagon effect. She had contacted the police after "Glory to Hong Kong", the iconic song during protests, was heard from near the school she led.

70189697 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iakovos%20Makrygiannis | Iakovos Makrygiannis | Iakovos Makrygiannis (), born Dimosthenis Makrygiannis (; Alatsata, 1910 – 1971), was a Greek theologian and bishop who served as Metropolitan of Elassona.
Biography
Iakovos Makrygiannis, baptised Dimosthenis, was born in 1910 in Alatsata, Ottoman Empire. He studied Theology at the Department of Theology of the University of Athens. He was ordained a deacon in 1937 by the Archbishop of Athens, Chrysostomos, taking on the monastic name Iakovos. In 1940 he was ordained a priest and served as a vicar in the Archbishopric of Athens (Temple of Saint Demetrius of Psychiko) and as abbot of the monastery of Penteli from 1945 to 1955.
Metropolitan of Elassona
On 2 March 1956 he was elected Metropolitan of Elassona and two days later he was ordained a bishop in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Athens. He did important spiritual, philanthropic and cultural work, including:
founding camps
organising a youth foundation
creating a boarding school for the children from mountainous areas who studied in the Gymnasium in Elassona and couldn't afford shelte
He personally took care in public works such as the electrification of remote villages and the creation of roads. With his suggestion, the annual celebration of the Eleftheria of Elassona on 6 October was introduced, as a local holiday commemorating the liberation of the city on 12 October 1912.
Persecution by the dictatorship
On 2 August 1967, he was irregularly removed from his position by the Greek junta, which had intervened in the Synod of the Hierarchy of the Church of Greece, forcing him to resign. This was a common tactic by the regime used against different metropolitans as well. In this way the dictatorship managed to replace bishops who didn't cooperate with the regime with ones with more friendly attitudes.
Death and memory
Iakovos died on 20 July 1971 in Loutraki, where he resided as the dictatorship didn't allow him to return to Elassona. He was buried in the cemetery of Chalandri by relatives and friends. His boned were transferred by order of metropolitan Vasileios to the Panagia Olympiotissa Monastery, so Iakovos could return to the city post-mortem, despite his irregular removal from his position. In his memory, a central road in Elassona is named after him.

The competition for clubs who play below the top-tier Super League, with amateur clubs joining lower-tier professional clubs in qualification for the first time. The competition will be played from April to May 2022. The final will be played as a curtain raiser to the 2022 Challenge Cup Final at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London on 28 May 2022.
Format
The 2021 competition had run with an altered format due to the disruption caused to that season by the COVID-19 pandemic. Under these changes, the early rounds of the 2021 Challenge Cup served as the opening rounds of the 1895 Cup, with the four teams which progressed from round 2 of the Challenge Cup also becoming semi-finalists of the 1895 Cup. That format was popular among teams, and so the 2022 tournament returned with an adapted version of that, reflecting the re-formatting of the Challenge Cup to facilitate the re-entry of amateur sides to that tournament.
This adapted format for 2022 will see five teams progress from round 5 of the 2022 Challenge Cup, and hence qualify for the 1895 Cup. Any Championship, League 1 or Amateur team that subsequently wins in round 6 of the Challenge Cup will qualify automatically for the semi-finals of the 1895 Cup. Two of the remaining qualifiers will be drawn into a play-off match on 9th/10th April, to reduce the five qualifiers to four teams for the semi-finals on the 7th/8th May, with the final held as a curtain-raiser for the 2022 Challenge Cup Final on the 28th May.
Qualification
The early rounds of the Challenge Cup function as the qualification for the 1895 Cup, with the Fifth Round, played on the 12th/13th March, acting as the final qualifier. All professional RFL member clubs below the Super League are eligible to participate in the 1895 Cup, as well as those amateur teams which entered the Challenge Cup. Newly formed Cornwall R.L.F.C. who play in RFL League 1 decided not to enter the competition.

The IGC is convened in Geneva by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and has been meeting since 2001.
History and mandate
The IGC was established in 2001 by the General Assembly of WIPO, which reviews, updates, and extends the mandate of the IGC every 2 years at the Assembly's September meetings.
The IGC had a first diplomatic crisis in 2003, as "the enormity of its task was becoming clearer, as was the gulf in expectations among states as to the IGC’s overall purpose and anticipated outcomes." The crisis lasted until 2009, when WIPO Assembly "agreed on a much-strengthened mandate" for the IGC, asking it to draft a legal instrument towards the convening of a Diplomatic Conference to adopt one or several treaties.
Since 2010, the mandate of the IGC has remained mostly unchanged: to conclude a consensual text which would bridge the gaps between the numerous existing international legal instruments provide some, but insufficient protection on either traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expressions, or genetic resources (UNDRIP, Convention on Biological Diversity, Nagoya Protocol, FAO plant treaty, UNESCO conventions on culture and intangible heritage, etc.), none of which include explicit protections for indigenous peoples and local communities.
IGC's negotiations were suspended is 2020 because of the pandemic of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, resuming in 2022.
Work
The IGC convened an Indigenous panel at every meeting, and created the WIPO Voluntary Fund for Member States to fund the active participation and involvement of indigenous communities and civil society stakeholders.
A number of documents have been issued to guide the works of the IGC, including a series of Background brief documents, as well as guidelines and other information documents.
The IGC has also developed draft international legal instruments on traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expressions, and genetic resources.

70189838 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirrors%20of%20Embarrassment | Mirrors of Embarrassment | Mirrors of Embarrassment is an album by the American band Col. Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit. It is dedicated to Wayne Bennett.
The band supported the album by touring with the 1993 H.O.R.D.E. festival. Bruce Hampton left the band later the same year.
Production
The album was produced by Johnny Sandlin, who called the band the best that he had heard. Hampton played his "chazoid", an instrument that resembled a combination of guitar and mandolin. He spent a month writing the songs for the album, after the band had finished touring behind their debut.
Bela Fleck played banjo on "Dead Presidents"; John Popper also contributed to the album. "Trondossa" is built around the sound of a Hammond B-3.
Critical reception
Stereo Review stated: "Just imagine it—a six-string-bass jazz/funk virtuoso, a mandolin phenom with avant-garde leanings, a guitarist who'd have been a Southern-rock hotshot in another context, and a four-armed drummer (or so it seems), all coming together in a sound that combines the brisk tandem runs of bluegrass, the improvisational aspects of jazz, and the dynamics of rock." The Washington Post determined that "at times it's all a bit too clever and cluttered for its own good, but more often than not it evokes the open-ended possibilities that hippie-rock has often promised and rarely delivered."
The Star Tribune opined that "if you married two great San Francisco Bay Area bands of the 1970s, Tower of Power and the Grateful Dead, the result might sound like the Aquarium Rescue Unit." The Telegram & Gazette noted that "the playing is spirited, the sentiment a little demented." The State declared that "Matt Mundy's mandolin dances with Jimmy Herring's speed-of-light guitar licks in some of this century's most bodacious Southern-fried fusion."
AllMusic wrote that the album was "relaxed, smart, fun music with big fat friendly shouter vocals from the Colonel."

It aired in the United States on Fox on February 27, 2022. The episode was directed by Chris Clements and written by John Frink.
Plot
Lisa and Bart hold an intervention after feeling that Homer and Marge are stuck in a cringe-worthy relationship rut devoid of romance, so Homer and Marge reluctantly agree to go to a resort for couples in the wilderness with no technology or modern entertainment. But when an icy road results in a car crash, Homer and Marge find themselves lost in the frigid woodlands fighting for survival against the elements.
Reception
Tony Sokol of Den of Geek gave the episode a 4 out of 5 stars stating, "Some of this development is almost un-Homer-like. He is a little too competent in the wild. You get the idea he may have taken that crayon out of his nose again. He has the capacity to understand Marge has all the real solutions, and still finds a way to go a step further, by making sure she has matching rugs on her feet at the end of the episode. What Bart and Lisa see, when they look at Homer and Marge toss diaper bags into taco bins, is a couple who have given up. The wolverine scene proves it was all an exercise, like the “wax on, wax off,” lessons in Karate Kid."
Marcus Gibson of Bubbleblabber gave the episode a 7.5 out of 10 stating, "This is one of the episodes that don’t rely heavily on slapstick and concentrate on telling the story. The writers attempt to have Homer and Marge working together to survive against the wild and the deadly wolverine while providing a message about the beauty of the great outdoors. We also see more of Homer being a caring husband for Marge instead of a careless grouch like in some previous episodes, which is great for people who needed a break from his negligent attitude. The result is far from perfect, but it is as attractive as the couple’s spark regardless."

A terrestrial cable is a communications cable which crosses land, rather than water. Terrestrial cable may be subterranean (buried) or aerial (suspended from poles), and may be fiber or copper. The term "terrestrial cable" is principally used to distinguish it from submarine cable, although some overlap exists between the two.
Major terrestrial cable systems include the Europe-Persia Express Gateway and the family of Eurasia terrestrial cable networks.

70190039 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS%20PCE-869 | USS PCE-869 | USS PCE-869 was a for the United States Navy during World War II. She was renamed ROCS Yong Xing (PCE-42) and ROCS Wei Yuan (PCE-68) after being acquired by the Republic of China Navy on 28 August 1945.
Construction and career
PCE-869 was laid down by Albina Engineer & Machine Works, Portland on 2 September 1942 and launched on 6 February 1943. She was commissioned on 19 September 1943.
After the war on 28 August 1945, she was transferred to the Republic of China Navy as ROCS Yong Xing (PCE-42). ROCS Yung Shun (AM-44) and Yong Xing passed through the Gatun locks, Panama Canal, on 21 April 1946, flying Chinese flags, but still wearing U.S. Navy hull numbers. Yongxing Island was the namesake of the ship.
In October 1946, Yong Xing was led by Lin Zun and Yao Ruyu, together with the Tai Ping, Chung Chien and Chung Yeh ships, to the South China Sea to receive and station in the Xisha and Nansha Islands. The ship was incorporated into the 1st Fleet of Coastal Defense, participated in the civil war, and successively shelled the liberated areas and bombed the 228 incident on the coasts of Shandong, Guangdong and other places, as well as major ports in Hainan Island and Taiwan.
Captain Lu Weiyuan commander of Yong Xing, a graduate of the Qingdao Maritime Academy, was a person trusted by the commander-in-chief of the Navy, Gui Yongqing. Lin Cheng, a staff member of the CPC Shanghai Bureau's Rebellion Committee, instigated Navigation Officer Chen Wanbang (the 12th Navigation Class of Mawei Sea School) and Quartermaster Zhu Jigang to lead them to organize medical officers, a sergeant, a marine corporal, two telecommunication soldiers, two or three gun and artillery soldiers were planning to join the Chinese Communist Party. At the end of April 1949, Yong Xing was ordered to set off from Wusongkou in Shanghai to patrol the Jiangyin area. On May 1, 1949, when sailing to Baimaosha outside the mouth of Shihe, Taicang County, Jiangsu Province, Chen Wanbang directed the insurgents to make a sudden action.
On September 1, 1949, to commemorate the death of the former captain, Lieutenant Colonel Lu Weiyuan, the ship was renamed as Wei Yuan, and the number was PCE-42 after the reorganization. In 1965, the Navy added the escort patrol ship and the minesweeper to different fleets, so the number was changed to PCE-68, decommissioned in 1971.
From March to May 1964, in order to build the airfield on Dongsha Island, the Navy's 62 task force composed the Wei Yuan, Mei Chen, and Mei Song 3 ships into the 62.9 task force, Wei Yuan as the flagship, and the logistics fleet commander Rear Admiral Qian Huaiyuan. He also serves as the detachment leader, implements the Tamjiang No. 2 Project, and transports materials for the construction of the airfield.

70190130 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion%20tube | Diffusion tube | A diffusion tube is a scientific device that passively samples the concentration of one or more gases in the air, commonly used to monitor average air pollution levels over a period ranging from days to about a month. Diffusion tubes are widely used by local authorities for monitoring air quality in urban areas, in citizen science pollution-monitoring projects carried out by community groups and schools, and in indoor environments such as mines and museums.
Construction and operation
A diffusion tube consists of a small, hollow, usually transparent, acrylic or polypropylene plastic tube, roughly 70mm long, with a cap at each end. One of the caps (coloured white) is either completely removed to activate the tube (in the case of nitrogen dioxide sampling) or contains a filter allowing in just the gas being studied. The other cap (a different colour) contains metal mesh discs coated with a chemical reagent that absorbs the gas being studied as it enters the tube. Tubes that work this way are also known as Palmes tubes after their inventor, American chemist Edward Palmes, who described using such a tube as a personal air quality sensor in 1976.
During operation, the tube is opened and vertically fastened with cable ties to something like a lamp-post or road sign, with the open end facing down, and the closed, coloured cap at the top. The gas being monitored, which is at a higher concentration in the atmosphere, diffuses into the bottom of the tube and is quickly absorbed by the chemical cap. Since it's absorbed, the process of diffusion continues. After a fixed period of time (typically from two weeks to a month), the tube is sealed up and sent away to a laboratory for analysis. The atmospheric concentration of the gas being studied can be calculated using the amount captured and Fick's laws of diffusion.
Diffusion tubes can be used to sample various different gases, including oxides of nitrogen (nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide), sulphur dioxide, ammonia, and ozone. Although tubes sampling these gases all work through the same process of molecular diffusion, there are important differences. Nitrogen dioxide tubes use triethanolamine, TEA, as the absorbing (reagant) chemical, for example, while hydrogen sulphide tubes are opaque (rather than transparent) to prevent ultraviolet light from degrading the chemicals inside. Some types of tube can sample multiple gases at the same time.
Advantages and disadvantages
Diffusion tubes are reasonably accurate, relatively cheap, easy to use, extremely compact, passive (they need no power source), and have a fairly long shelf life; with careful positioning, they can be deployed more or less anywhere, indoors or outdoors. They give a reasonable indication of the long-term, average concentration of a pollutant gas, such as nitrogen dioxide, and they make it easy to compare average pollution levels in different places or at different times. Often, a series of tubes are mounted in exactly the same place for consecutive months of the year to enable longer-term comparisons of pollution levels. It's also common for local authorities to mount a number of tubes in different places over the same time period so pollution hotspots in towns and cities can be identified.
Since diffusion tubes are designed to be left in place for days or weeks at a time, they don't indicate shorter-term fluctuations of the pollutant being studied, such as the rising and falling levels of gas during the day, the difference between one day and the next or between weekdays and weekends, or the number of times guideline pollution levels are exceeded while they're in place. They're also much less accurate than the highly sensitive, automated monitoring equipment used in roadside pollution monitoring cabins. Sources of inaccuracy include air turbulence (caused by things like wind movements or air conditioners), pollution from building ventilation systems, ultraviolet light (theoretically absorbed by the plastic tube), and other pollutants.
