https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto%20Winkelmann
Otto Winkelmann
Otto Winkelmann (4 September 1894 - 24 September 1977) was a German police official and SS-Obergruppenführer who served as the Higher SS and Police Leader (HSSPF) in Hungary during the deportation and extermination of Hungarian Jews. Early life Otto Winkelmann was born in Bordesholm the son of the city administrative director. After volksschule in Bordelsholm and secondary school in Kiel, he entered the University of Kiel to study law in 1914. However, he dropped out of school to enlist in the Imperial German Army on the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914. He served on the western front with Reserve Infantry Regiment 64. He applied for a commission and became a Leutnant in August 1915. Transferring to Infantry Regiment 58, he served with that unit until the armistice, being wounded several times and earning the Iron Cross, first and 2nd class. He remained in the army and became a member of the Freikorps. He fought in the Ruhr and in Silesia until November 1919. He was discharged from the army on 31 January 1920 with the rank of Oberleutnant after joining the Prussian uniformed police as a police lieutenant. Career with the police and SS Winkelmann was assigned to police duty in Düsseldorf where he became involved in anti-French activities during the occupation of the Ruhr. In May 1923, he was promoted to police captain, but in December 1923, he was sentenced to a one-year jail term and fined 500 Reichsmarks by a French military court for his involvement in separatist actions. However, in March 1924 he was released and transferred to police duty in Altona, where he remained for two years before transferring back to Düsseldorf in June 1926. In February 1930 he became Director of Police in Görlitz, Saxony. There he joined the Nazi Party on 1 November 1932. Winkelmann's next important career move came in November 1937 when he was posted to the Hauptamt (Main Office) of the Ordnungspolizei (Orpo) located in Berlin. On 1 July 1938, he joined the SS (SS No. 308,238) in the rank of SS-Sturmbannführer. Over the next few years, he advanced steadily in rank, being promoted to SS-Gruppenführer and Generalleutnant of Police in November 1942. From August 1942, he headed the Command Office in Orpo, and functioned as deputy to Orpo Chief Kurt Daluege. He continued in this position until 19 March 1944 when, as a recently promoted SS-Obergruppenführer and General of Police, he was named to the newly created position of Higher SS and Police Leader for Hungary. During Winkelmann's tenure in Hungary, in an operation directed by Adolf Eichmann, over 437,000 Hungarian Jews were deported between May and July 1944, most all of whom perished in the Nazi extermination camp at Auschwitz. After the Hungarian government of Miklós Horthy began negotiations to sue for peace, Winkelmann, along with Edmund Veesenmayer the German Plenipotentiary to Hungary, immediately acted to remove the Horthy regime and install the Arrow Cross puppet government on 15 October 1944. On December 1, 1944, Winkelmann was made a General of the Waffen-SS. Adolf Hitler declared Budapest to be a fortress city and appointed Winkelmann as city commandant. The siege of Budapest lasted until the city's fall to the Red Army on 13 February 1945, and Winkelmann retreated into Austria where he took up the position of commander of all police on 1 March. For his services in Budapest, Winkelmann was awarded the Knight's Cross of the War Merit Cross. Post-war life On 1 May 1945, Winkelmann was captured by American forces and interned at Camp King. He was temporarily transferred to Hungary on 27 October 1945 to testify at war crimes trials of members of the Arrow Cross government. The Hungarian government applied for the extradition of Winkelmann, intending to try him also as a war criminal in Hungary. However, after lengthy negotiations, the American authorities denied the request. On 1 September 1948, Winkelmann was allowed to return to Germany, where he was released. Winkelmann took up residence in his hometown of Bordesholm, later moving to Großharrie and then to Kiel. In April 1955 he was elected to the municipal council of Kiel. In May 1961 he provided a written deposition in Germany to provide evidence in the Eichmann trial being held in Israel. In this document, he denied all culpability for the deportation and murder of Hungarian Jews, testifying that Eichmann did not receive orders from him, but directly from the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA) in the matter of the Final Solution. Winkelmann subsequently served as President of the Association of Retired Police Officers. He retired in 1964 and was awarded the pension of a General of Police. This generated controversy, as did the fact that he never stood trial for any role he may have played in the Hungarian holocaust.

Wilhelmine Christine of Nassau-Siegen
Countess Wilhelmine Christine of Nassau-Siegen (1629 – 22 January 1700), , official titles: Gräfin zu Nassau, Katzenelnbogen, Vianden und Diez, Frau zu Beilstein, was a Countess from the House of Nassau-Siegen and through marriage Countess of . Biography Wilhelmine Christine was born in 1629 as the youngest daughter of Count William of Nassau-Siegen and Countess Christiane of Erbach. The exact date and place of birth of Wilhelmine Christine are unknown; she was baptised on 10 June 1629 in Heusden, the city of which her father had been governor since 1626. Count William Frederick of Nassau-Diez, the stadtholder of Friesland, noted in June 1645 in his diary that the sixteen-year-old Wilhelmine Christine was the favourite girlfriend of Prince William II of Orange, ‘die hij zoo dicwils custe als hij woude, alleen sijnde, en de borstjes tastede’. William II had to promise Wilhelmine Christine ‘sich deechlijck te hauden’, but the consequence of this intimacy was that her mother Christiane did not want Wilhelmine Christine to be alone with Prince William, ‘doch dat sie het allebeide sochten’. When Christiane came in ‘maeckte prins Wilhelm den slaepert’. Also after the death of Christiane in 1646, the prince was still in contact with Wilhelmine Christine. In November 1648, William Frederick wrote in his diary that William had told him that he had secretly visited her dozens of times and had seen her in bed twice, but that he had stayed ‘degelijck’, ‘niet als kussen en eens geraeckt, doch en passant en op het lest’. Earlier, William had mentioned that he would have wanted Wilhelmine Christine ‘heel’; he would have preferred her as wife to anyone else. Wilhelmine Christine married at Arolsen Castle on 26 January 1660 to Count Josias II of Waldeck-Wildungen (Wildungen, 31 July 1636 – Kandia, 8 August 1669), the second son of Count Philip VII of Waldeck-Wildungen and Countess Anne Catherine of Sayn-Wittgenstein. In 1660 Josias was granted the district of Wildungen as an appanage, later also the districts of and . Wilhelmine Christine and Josias were closely related. Elisabeth of Nassau-Siegen, Josias’ grandmother, was the eldest sister of Wilhelmine Christine’s father. Also from his mother’s side, Josias was related to Wilhelmine Christine. His great-grandmother, also named Elisabeth of Nassau-Siegen, was a younger sister of Count John VI ‘the Elder’ of Nassau-Siegen, the great-grandfather of Wilhelmine Christine. Agnes of Wied-Runkel, the great-great-grandmother of Josias, was a daughter of yet another Elisabeth of Nassau-Siegen, a younger sister of Count William I ‘the Rich’ of Nassau-Siegen, who was also the great-great-grandfather of Wilhelmine Christine. Finally, both Wilhelmine Christine and Josias descended from Count Wolrad I of Waldeck-Waldeck, Wilhelmine Christine through her grandmother Magdalene of Waldeck-Wildungen. Wilhelmine Christine outlived her husband by almost 31 years; she died in Hildburghausen on 22 January 1700 and was buried in Saalfeld on 27 January. Issue From the marriage of Wilhelmine Christine and Josias, the following children were born: Eleonore Louise (Arolsen Castle, 9 July 1661 – Arolsen Castle, 25 August 1661). William Philip (Arolsen Castle, 27 September 1662 – Arolsen Castle, 29 December 1662). Charlotte Dorothy (Arolsen Castle, 9 October 1663 – Arolsen Castle, 10 December 1664).

Afghans in Ukraine
Afghans in Ukraine are the country's largest diasporic community with origins outside of the former Soviet Union. During the existence of the Soviet Union, Afghans were the largest foreign group studying in Ukraine. After the resignation of the pro-Soviet president of Afghanistan, Mohammad Najibullah, in 1992, some Afghans in Ukraine applied for asylum. Other Afghans had returned to Afghanistan and served in the security forces during the Afghan Civil War of 1989 to 1992, with some then returning to Ukraine. Some male students married Ukrainian women. Many Afghans in Ukraine live in Kyiv and Dnipro, where some run small businesses that recruit workers from Afghanistan. There is also an Afghan community in Odesa, "made up of successive waves of exiles, refugees, and migrants" as well as commercial traders. The 2001 Ukrainian census recorded 1,008 people of Afghan nationality. In 2019, Ukraine was hosting 1,034 Afghan refugees. At the end of 2020, 1,449 Afghans had permanent residency in Ukraine and 233 had temporary visas. After the withdrawal of United States and other foreign troops from Afghanistan, in September 2021 the Ukrainian military evacuated Afghans alongside Ukrainian citizens from Afghanistan, now under the control of the Taliban. This followed previous rescue missions that had followed the fall of Kabul on 15 August 2021. In the context of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, TOLOnews reported that there were around 6,000 Afghan refugee in Ukraine, many of whom lacked permission to leave the country.

Abajo Formation
The Abajo Formation is a geologic formation in the Los Pinos Mountains of central New Mexico. It was deposited about 1660 million years (Ma) ago, corresponding to the Statherian period. History of investigation The unit was first defined by S.H. Baer in 2004. and assigned to the Manzano Group by Amy Luther in 2006. Geology The formation is divided into two members. The Abajo Lithic Arenite consists of various metasedimentary rocks interbedded with amphibolites interpreted as metamorphosed gabbroic dikes. The Abajo Schist consists of medasedimentary schist interbedded with metamorphosed basaltic dikes and flows. The formation is interpreted as sediments deposed during a period of volcanic activity. Detrital zircon grains in the formation are almost identical in age and isotope composition to the underlying Sevilleta metarhyolite, suggesting that the sediments of the quartzite were weathered almost exclusively from local sources. The minimum zircon age is about 1660 Ma, and radiometric dating of underlying and overlying formations place the age of the formation at about this time.

Robert Bordo
Robert Bordo is a New York-based, Canadian-American artist known for paintings that blend modernist formal concerns with postmodern approaches to image, subject matter and metaphor. Throughout his career, he has worked in painting series positioned between representation and abstraction that critics characterize as conceptually structured, yet sensual in execution. These series explore recurring, often overlapping themes, such as memory and experience, the passage of time, landscape and weather phenomena, mapping, and mark-making as an indicator of thought. New York Times critic Roberta Smith described Bordo's early map paintings as charting an idiosyncratic "hybrid discipline … a kind of cartographically conscious rerouting of modernism"; in a 2019 New Yorker review of his "crackup" paintings, Andrea Scott wrote, "Bordo's imagery is an apt metaphor for our current, contentious political climate, but his true subject is painting itself: how easily it can tip realism into abstraction or shift figure-ground relations until it's impossible to discern whether you’re on the inside looking out or vice versa." Bordo's work belongs to several public art collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Hammer Museum. In 2007, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. He has also received a Robert De Niro, Sr. Prize and awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and Canada Council, among other recognition. His first major solo exhibitions were held at Brooke Alexander Gallery in New York (1987–1992) and Mira Godard Gallery in Toronto (1991). In 1995, he joined the faculty at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York, heading its painting program from 1996 to 2017. He became a faculty member of Bard College's MFA painting program in 2010. Bordo maintained studios in both the Hudson Valley in upstate New York and Brooklyn in the first two decades of the 2000s and now works from Kinderhook, New York. Artwork and reception Bordo's painting series are intuitive in their development, often originating from ruminations on banal images, objects or clichés, which give way to explorations of the space, vocabulary and material practice of painting. Critics David Cohen and Stephen Maine have related Bordo's art to an American tradition of stylized abstraction from nature that includes Alex Katz and Milton Avery, while also linking him to critically self-aware contemporary painters such as Raoul De Keyser, Thomas Nozkowski, and Merlin James. Cohen distinguishes Bordo from both groups in his greater focus on "painterly experience" and the physical qualities of color, substance and application. Bordo's earlier series were noted for lyrical qualities recalling Cézanne and the color-field painters Clyfford Still and Agnes Martin; his later series feature a blunter, more anxious sensibility that writers compare to the late work of Philip Guston. Early series (1988–1998) In his early work, Bordo sought to integrate an abstract painting language with subject matter and metaphors related to landscape, social narratives, modernism, and his personal history as a Canadian and Montrealer living in New York. He initially painted globes, before turning to two-dimensional landforms and graphic elements, most prominently in his "Map Paintings." His approach to imagery and form—as well as his suggestive titles—kept this work open to a range of political, historical and physical interpretations. Stephen Westfall described them as "homeless paintings" of drift and restlessness, of area but not place, grounded by concrete qualities of texture, surface and intimate scale. Other writers identified metaphors involving emigration, journey, change and loss, or—citing their military, economic and geographic references—contemporary geopolitical commentary (e.g., Hidden Agenda, Thaw). Bordo exhibited map paintings in six solo exhibitions between 1987 and 1996. In these modestly scaled, quasi-minimal canvasses, he rendered the abstract shapes and irregular contours of landmasses from globes in glazes and textured fragments of color, which hovered between topographical suggestions of land, water or sky and abstraction, augmented by camouflage patterns, frames and elements from airmail envelopes, barely visible ledgers and stenciled aircraft forms (e.g., Exile, Letter). Roberta Smith likened these works to "the infinite spaces" of Edward Ruscha and Vija Celmins and the fictional stamp paintings of Donald Evans. Bordo's 1990s work also included his "Speech Bubble" and "Denim" paintings. The former works employ ghostly, hand-painted, empty speech bubbles set against monochrome white or gun-metal gray backgrounds—an iconic reference to speechlessness during the height of the AIDS crisis. The "Denim" works employ stenciled bootprints on blue monochromes and consider themes involving mapping, walking, cruising, and queering of the field of painting. Postcard paintings and landscape abstractions Bordo began exploring motifs involving abstracted landscape, the presentation of sublime space, and human archiving and recall of image memories in the late 1990s. In solo shows at Alexander and Bonin (1999 and 2002), he exhibited wide-format paintings featuring small, rectangular landscape abstractions derived from picture postcards his mother had collected. He rendered the images in quiet, carefully limited palettes and a no-frills manner without descriptive detail, then overlapped them in loose grids or clustered constellations over unmodulated, matte grounds (e.g., Lookout, 1999; Back Seat, 2003). Reviews compared the paintings to work by Robert Ryman or the "foggy infinitude of Agnes Martin and Mark Rothko." New York Times critic Grace Glueck termed them reticent "mindscapes"—generalized impressions of landscape that others equated to links in the associative chain of private thought and emotions, elusively suggesting the possibility of resolution into coherent subjects or sites. With exhibitions at Alexander and Bonin, Rubicon Gallery (Dublin) and Mummery + Schnelle (London) between 2005 and 2009, Bordo departed from multi-image postcard works, producing some of his most, understated, abstract paintings. In simple, frontal works, he distilled a sense of light, space and place into a minimum of color and surface incident—brushy, wet-into-wet stretches of mint, blue or taupe overlaid with dots, daubs, tiny brushstrokes, or slabs—pushing the limits of suggestive representation (e.g., Another Day, 2005). Art in America'''s Stephen Maine wrote that the "muted colors and veiled imagery" evoked an understated theatrical quality of intrigue that prompted viewers "to hang on every painterly syllable … drawn into what seems like an artworld subplot." Later paintings such as Heatwave and Green Girl (both 2008) consisted simply of free, seemingly casual, lyrical brushstrokes, applied in blended colors over a monochrome ground. Reviews of both shows noted the work's strong connection with nature, in palette and atmospherics, despite the high degree of abstraction. Later series: windshield, rear-view mirror and "crackup" paintings Bordo's paintings in the 2010s displayed a new sense of anxiety, reflecting issues such as the dramatic political polarization in the U.S. and climate change. Artforum's Barry Schwabsky wrote that these paintings left behind the more delicate, lyrical touch of the landscape works, "evince[ing] a Gustonesque brusqueness and spleen… with a blunter, more robust facture and a more implacable presence." This somewhat larger work was more explicitly structured by its imagery—often car windshields and rear-view mirrors, which served as metaphors for consciousness and movement in space and time, forward and backward (e.g., Rear-view, 2011; Wacko, 2012). In the "Windshield" paintings, Bordo continued to engage characteristic interests in visual and tactile pleasure, flatness and depth, conflating the picture plane with the windscreens of cars often depicted driving through unpredictable, rainy weather with active wipers (e.g., Dial, The Future, both 2012).<ref These paintings typically employed a complex sense of space, with overlaps, splits, doublings, changes of scale, and expressive horizontal and vertical lines suggesting journeys anticipated or recalled.Heinrich, Will. "Robert Bordo: Three Point Turn at Alexander and Bonin," The New York Observer, April 2, 2013. Roberta Smith wrote that the thick, wet-on-wet paint handling, blurred transparencies and fractured spaces of broken center lines and red lights created "an effect that is deliciously and darkly comic, but also abstract and rather ham-handedly beautiful." In the latter half of the 2010s, Bordo developed several offshoots from the windshield paintings. He exhibited loosely painted, abstracted heads rendered with thick, squeegeed paint in "Greater New York" (MoMA PS1, 2015)—closeups of his own worried face, blurred and moving, in eyeglasses and sometimes smoking a cigar—that emerge from rearview mirrors, box forms or rough grids.Hirsch, Faye, "Greater New York," Art in America, December 8. 2015. His "Skinny Jeans" paintings (2016) developed out of the self-portraits, as he simultaneously saw the eyeglasses in them as back pockets on jeans. He created the paintings by scraping outlined forms out of dark monochrome surfaces with a palette knife, revealing lines of bright underpainting. Writers described them as both humorous and homoerotic examinations of looking and being looked at, desire and mortality, that refer back to the queer abstraction of his "Denim" paintings. In 2019 at Bortolami, Bordo exhibited his "crackup" paintings, which drew upon prior series by employing monochrome grounds and lines incised into wet, oil surfaces that appeared like broken window panes. They depict dark holes on their surfaces, surrounded by spidery cracks that seemingly threaten to shatter further. The show included nine canvases in moody greens and blues, ranging from imposing (seven feet tall) to intimate (twenty inches), that reflected a contemporary, contentious political climate. Awards and collections Bordo has been recognized with a Guggenheim Fellowship (2007), Robert De Niro Sr. Painting Prize (2014), and awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (2012), New York Foundation for the Arts (2012), Ballinglen Foundation (2010), Tesuque Foundation (1998), MacDowell (1994), and Canada Council (1991, 1977).Macdowell.

Thomas J. Sparrow (March 4, 1805 – December 22, 1870) was a prominent American architect active in the first half of the 19th century. Only three of his designs are known to be extant, with two of them now being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Early life Sparrow was born in Portland, Maine, on March 4, 1805. Career Sparrow began in the organ-manufacturing business under John K. Paine. He then moved into carpentry and was listed as a joiner in the Portland Directory of 1837. Its next edition, four years later, showed him as being the city's first native professional architect. He was active into the 1860s, when ill health prevented him from partaking in the rebuilding of Portland after the great fire of 1866.

El Grillo (song)
El Grillo, translated into English as The Cricket, is a frottola by Josquin des Prez. Possibly written in the early sixteenth century, it is regarded as one of Josquin's most popular works. History Possibly written in the early sixteenth century, El Grillo is attributed to an "Iosquin Dascanio", traditionally identified as French composer Josquin des Prez. Several scholars have posited that Josquin wrote the song to either honour or make fun of his colleague at the House of Sforza, an Italian court singer named Carlo Grillo. The Frottole libro tertio, published by Ottaviano Petrucci in 1505, is the only contemporaneous source of El Grillo. It received considerably little attention from modern musicologists until 1931, when it was included in Geschichte der Musik in Beispielen by Arnold Schering. Analysis The song is scored for four voices. Written from a third-person perspective, El Grillo concerns the cricket. The opening section is about the cricket's lengthy song, while the second one compares crickets and songbirds. The song concludes by suggesting that crickets may be better singers than songbirds, particularly because they sing all the time, rain or shine. The song contains both homophony and onomatopoeia, with its rhythm mimicking a cricket's mannerisms. Uncharacteristically for a frottola, the ripresa of the poetic lines mostly have seven syllables, whereas the piedi and volta have eight. According to musicologist Jaap van Benthem, the number of notes in the ripresa (88) spells "Des Prez" in gematria, while the 99 notes in the volta spell "Josquin". Legacy El Grillo is considered one of Josquin's most popular works. Willem Elders calls it "one of the most brilliant songs of the late fifteenth century", while Richard Sherr describes it as a "delightful jokey little piece." Henry Vyverberg writes that it "represents the frottola at its most attractive." References Citations Works cited Renaissance music Compositions by Josquin des Prez 16th-century compositions

Nannie Webb Curtis
Nannie Webb Curtis (, Austin; after first marriage, Webb; after second marriage, Curtis; June 22, 1861 - March 29, 1920) was an American lecturer, temperance activist, widely-known clubwoman. She wrote essays on the topic and edited a magazine. She served as National vice-president of Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), sat on the National Executive Committee, and was also on the Official Board of the National WCTU, the lawmaking body of organization. Her father having been a Methoidist minister, she made her living lecturing as a pulpit orator on the topics of prohibition and woman suffrage on behalf of the National WCTU, Chautauqua, and the lyceum circuits. Frequently characterized as being "bigger than her state", Curtis was a patriot and a speaker of national fame. Early life and education Nannie Austin was born in Hardin County, Tennessee, June 22, 1861. Her parents were Rev. D. J. and Julia Ann (Couch) Austin. On her paternal side, her great-grandfather was Benjamin A. Austin, an uncle of Stephen F. Austin. Moses Austin was also a distant relative. From her childhood, Curtis was bent on temperance reform. The Rev. Atticus Webb, in The Union Signal for April 8, 1920, related that Curtis' father, a prosperous merchant, included a large number of barrels of liquor in his stock, and that one day, during her father's absence, Curtis turned on the faucets of all the casks in the cellar, and allowed the contents to run to waste. When her father remonstrated with and threatened to whip her, she replied that if he did she would burn the liquor up the next time. She was brought to Texas in her early girlhood by her parents who settled in Bivins, Texas. Coming info the world during that period when the South was struggling back from the devastation of civil war, Curtis was early inured to the lessons of effort, which developed in her a never-dying determination to contend for the right against the wrong regardless of popularity or public opinion. She received her early education in the public schools of Mississippi. Career From 1879 to 1894, with intervals at home, Curtis taught in various schools. In 1881, she married W. J. Webb (d. 1890) while residing in Texarkana, Texas later moving to Sherman, Texas. They had four son, W. Earl Webb, Roy Orson Webb, Clyde Lee Webb, and one dying in infancy. The family moved to California for the husband's health, but he died there in 1890, and they family returned to Texas the following year. She married secondly, in 1893, I. S. Curtis (d. 1915), of Texarkana. When her sons reached the graded schools, she realized that her education was not sufficient to stand side by side with the education of her boys. With a desire for greater knowledge along academic lines, she entered the North Texas Female College (now Kidd-Key College), Sherman, Texas, for a two-year course in oratory, at the same time her boys went away to school. From this place, in 1900, she was called to the platform as State Organizer of the Texas Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Having completed the course in oratory, she was elected in 1906 to the Board of National lecturers of the WCTU of America. She became national organizer and lecturer, WCTU, in 1907. In 1910, while living in Sherman, she was elected president of the Texas WCTU and continued in office to her death. Curtis also served as National vice-president, WCTU, as well as State superintendent of temperance in the International Sunday-School Associationn for Texas. Curtis lead in every major city campaign in the South against the liquor traffic, as well as the State campaigns North, West and South, having toured every Southern State that voted on this question. On these tours she was given the sobriquet, "the Henry Clay of her sex", and also, "the silver-tongued orator of Dixie". She took part in campaigns in Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Virginia, as well as in her own State of Texas. In 1912, she was called to the Chautauqua work, and there she was called "the queen of the Southern platform". For four consecutive years, she spent her summers with the National Lincoln Chautauquas. Her second widowing occurred in 1915. That year, now residing in Waco, Texas, Curtis was unanimously re-elected president of the Texas WCTU, at the 39th annual convention of that organization in Houston. At that convention, she was also appointed as a delegate to the National Anti-Saloon Convention to be held at Atlantic City, New Jersey. She refused many Chautauqua offers for 1917, because she felt that Texas needed her, but her Chautauqua Association succeeded in securing her for 1918. She was a member of the International Lyceum Association, lecturing on "Woman, Her Progress and Future" and "The Country's Greatest Need". Curtis was made a member of the Sociological Conference, Nashville, Tennessee, 1912, and was appointed each year a delegate to the Southern Sociological Congress. She was asked to take a place on the Child Welfare Commission of Texas. She occupied many places of honor by appointment as recognition of her ability and her work for social, political and moral reforms. She took an active part in promoting the cause of Woman Suffrage woman suffrage. When Oklahoma was preparing itself for Statehood, Curtis was invited to address its constitutional convention on the subject of Statewide prohibition of the liquor traffic, and as a result of her address before that body, Statewide prohibition was written into the Constitution of that State. When America entered World War I, she served on the National Council of Defense. As a young woman, Curtis wrote and read temperance essays and pushed local campaigns in the schools of Mississippi. Later in life, she was the editor of the Texas White Ribbon, the official organ of the Texas WCTU, in Austin, Texas, and a collaborator on the Red Back medical journal, in the same city. She was also a contributor of articles to many periodicals in the US. Personal life After her second marriage, she converted from the Baptist faith to the Methodist Church. By 1918, having caught a severe cold, Curtis had fallen ill and was living in a sanitarium in Waco. Nannie Curtis died at the home of her son, Roy, in Dallas, Texas, March 29, 1920, after a lingering illness of three months. Burial was in Oakland Cemetery, Dallas. On June 15, 1920, the Texas Senate, by a rising vote, adopted a resolution giving its "expression of appreciation and loss by reason of the death of this noble woman".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temporary%20Protection%20Directive
Temporary Protection Directive
The Temporary Protection Directive (TPD; Council Directive 2001/55/EC) is a 2001 European Union directive providing for immediate, temporary protection for displaced people from non-EU countries, intended to be used in exceptional circumstances when the regular European Union asylum system has trouble handling a "mass influx" of refugees. It was introduced in the aftermath of the Yugoslav Wars, but has never been used. If invoked, it would require EU member states to accept refugees as allocated based on their capacity to host them, following a principle of solidarity and a "balance of efforts" among member states. Officials have proposed invoking the directive multiple times since it was passed. On 1 March 2022, EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson expressed hope that it would be invoked in response to the refugee crisis caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Origins The directive was passed in 2001 in the aftermath of the Yugoslav Wars. The directive has been in effect since 7 August 2001, but it has never been triggered. Details The Temporary Protection Directive aims to harmonize European Union policies with respect to displaced people and increase solidarity and collaboration between member states in a refugee crisis. The directive discusses procedures for triggering and ending temporary protection, rights of people under temporary protection, and special provisions for specific categories of people (survivors of trauma, unaccompanied minors, and potential security threats). Temporary protection, which is distinct from asylum, can last up to three years depending on circumstances. People under temporary protection can obtain a residence permit without the complicated bureaucracy normally associated with seeking asylum. They are allowed to work and access social welfare, and are entitled to protection throughout the EU. Children must be allowed to access education the same way as EU residents. To invoke the directive, the European Commission would need to make a proposal to member states, and a qualified majority of the Council of the European Union (generally at least 55% of EU countries, representing at least 65% of the bloc's population) would need to vote in favor. The directive is intended to be invoked in the event of a "mass influx" of refugees; the definition of "mass influx" is left vague and meant to be defined on a case-by-case basis, in order to allow flexibility in its application. When invoked, the directive would compel all member states (except Denmark, which has an opt-out clause) to accept refugees, issue residence permits, minimize red tape, and take other steps to assist displaced people. Refugees would be distributed among member states on a voluntary basis, based on member states' capacity to host them. The directive originally did not apply to Ireland due to its opt-out clause, but on 11 April 2003, the Irish government stated its desire to opt in, which was accepted by the European Commission. However, as of 2016 the Irish government has not transposed the directive. Proposals for use or repeal Though the directive has never been invoked, its possible use has sometimes been discussed. In 2011, the EU received more than 300,000 refugees, partly due to the First Libyan Civil War. The Italian and Maltese governments argued for using the TPD, and the European Commission discussed invoking it to address tension between Italy and France over their differing refugee policies. However, the directive was not invoked, partly due to opposition from the German government. Amid the 2015 European refugee crisis, the UNHCR, some members of the European Parliament, and activists called for the directive to be invoked. EU foreign policy official Josep Borrell discussed the possibility of invoking the directive in 2021 to aid Afghan refugees following the United States military's withdrawal from Afghanistan. The directive has also been discussed as a response to the 2022 Ukrainian refugee crisis. On 27 February 2022, EU ministers asked Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson to prepare plans for invoking the directive. However, Anders Ygeman and Mattias Tesfaye, migration ministers from Sweden and Denmark respectively, said that they did not yet think the directive was merited. Gérald Darmanin has announced plans to propose invoking the directive at a meeting on 3 March 2022. There has been discussion of the directive in the context of climate refugees, but it is thought that it would probably not be applicable due to the gradual nature of climate change. Possibility of repeal In 2020, a proposed regulation stated that the Temporary Protection Directive "no longer responds to member states’ current reality" and should be repealed. John Koo, lecturer in EU law at London South Bank University, has argued that the directive benefits neither EU member states nor refugees themselves, and that its mechanisms contain problems.

Torgovaya Square
Torgovaya square is the central square of the of Russian town Ustyuzhna in Vologda Oblast. The square had appeared in the XVI-th century and since then was the center of the social and economic life of the city. In 1778 it was redeveloped according to the architectural plans of the Catherine II's commission and received a modern form. The building of the square was formed later — from the XIX-th to early XX-th centuries. Annual Trade fairs are held at the square. Torgovaya square is located in the center of Ustyuzhna, on the right bank of Mologa river, at the intersection of Lenin Street and Korelyakova Lane. It is rectangular in plan, stretching from west to east. The size of the square is 210 x 140 meters. From the east, the area is bounded by Vorozha River's pond, which separates Torgovaya Square from the Cathedral one. Together these squares form the planning kernel of the whole city. The buildings are located on all other sides along the setback lines. References Literature Ustyuzhna Ustyuzhna

Sérgio Sampaio
Sérgio Moraes Sampaio (April 13, 1947 — May 15, 1994) was a Brazilian singer and songwriter. His compositions span several musical genres from samba and choro to rock and roll, blues and ballads. Sampaio was considered an outsider name ("maldito") in Brazilian music. Life and career Sampaio was born in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, to Raul Gonçalves Sampaio, owner of a shoestore and bandleader, and Maria de Lourdes Moraes, schoolteacher A fan of radio programs, where he followed the singers of the time such as Orlando Silva, Sílvio Caldas, and Nelson Gonçalves, who inspired him, he made impressions of radio broadcasters such as Luiz Jatobá and Saint-Clair Lopes, getting a job at a radio station in his hometown, XYL-9. In 1964 he tried to work in Rio de Janeiro at Rádio Relógio, returning after four months. In late 1967 he moved permanently to Rio, initially to try his hand at a career as a radio broadcaster, and to attend the city's nightlife. Sampaio could not keep a job; he lived in cheap boarding houses and even on the street, even begging for food. Sergio had started singing at night in bars, until February 1970, when he resigned from Rádio Continental to dedicate himself entirely to music. He applied to the Festival Fluminense da Canção, a stage of the Festival Internacional da Canção (III FIC) of that year, and was among the twenty finalists with the song "Hei, você".. In Rio de Janeiro he met Raul Seixas, then a record producer at CBS (currently Sony Music) company, and a long friendship and partnership began. After a test with Paulo Diniz's partner Odibar, he was hired in his place the following year, participating in several recordings, as part of the chorus of Renato e seus Blue Caps. He signed, under the pseudonym Sérgio Augusto, the lyrics to the song "Sol 40 graus", recorded by Trio Ternura and which was a hit in 1971. The Trio recorded other of his compositions, such as "Vê se dá um jeito nisso" - a partnership with Raul Seixas, with whom he also shared "Amei você um pouco demais", recorded by José Roberto. Raul produces his first compact in which Sergio experienced some success with "Coco Verde", soon re-recorded by Dóris Monteiro. He returned to his hometown in July, where he participated in the "II Festival de MPB", winning first place and also taking fourth place. Together with Raul Seixas he started the production of an opera-rock project, whose lyrics were censored by representatives of the Brazilian military dictatorship. In spite of this, the songs became part of Raul Seixas' first record: "Sociedade da Grã-Ordem Kavernista Apresenta Sessão das 10", featuring Míriam Batucada and Edy Star. In 1973 he released his first LP by Philips, produced by Raul and named "Eu Quero Botar Meu Bloco na Rua", with several renowned musicians; the record failed in sales, despite his appearance in television programs and the good airplay of songs like "Cala a boca, Zebedeu", by his father, in the radios.

As we began writing our way through it, we just realized this connection to all of the breaths that have been snuffed out over the past years because of racism and discrimination. So the first idea was centered around us bracing ourselves for the next issue, the next trending topic, the next killing, the next trial, and how necessary it is for us as believers—and just people in general—to make sure that we don’t miss out on living, praising, and believing because of worry."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valeriya%20Golubtsova
Valeriya Golubtsova
Valeriya Alexeyevna Golubtsova (15 May 1901 in Nizhny Novgorod — 1 October 1987 in Моscow) was a scientist who was the director of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute from 1943 to 1952. She was the wife of Georgy Malenkov. Biography Golubtsova was born in Nizhny Novgorod in the family of a teacher in the cadet corps, State Councilor Alexei Golubtsov (1852 – 1924), and Olga Nevzorova, who was a member of an old noble family. Nevzorova's older sisters were the famous "Nevzorov sisters" (Zinaida, Sophia, and Augustine) — Vladimir Lenin's comrades-in-arms in Marxist circles back in the 1890s. Zinaida married Gleb Кrzhizhanovky in 1899, who in the 1920s headed the GOELRO Commission. The Golubtsov family raised five children: Lyudmila, Valeriya, Roman, Vyacheslav (later Professor of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, corresponding member of the Аcademy of Sciences of the Soviet Union), and Elena. In 1917, Golubtsova graduated from a gym in Nizhny Novgorod, and then did library courses. Since 1920, during the Russian Civil War, she worked as a librarian on the Тurkestan Front, and in the agit-train of the cavalry brigade, she met the Commissar, Georgy Malenkov. In 1920, she married him (though without official registration until her death, and the preservation of her maiden name) and joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. After moving to Moscow in 1921, Golubtsova got a job at the Organizing Department of the Central Committee at got a separate room in the Loskutnaya Hotel on Тverskaya Street— the center of the Moscow Communist bohemia. Malenkov then entered the Bauman Moscow State Technical University (the couple decided to graduate one-by-one). From 1928 to 1930, she worked as a standardizer at the Moscow Metallurgical Plant. In 1930, at the direction of the party organization, Golubtsova entered the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, where, as a student, she took the post of Secretary of the Institute Organization of the CPSU. After graduating in 1934, she worked as an engineer at the Dynamo Plant until 1936. In 1936, she entered the graduate school of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, but was interrupted in 1938 due to giving birth to two sons. During the Great Patriotic War, from 1941 to 1942, Golubtsova was evacuated with her family to Samara, where she worked as an instructor in the Samara Regional Committee of the CPSU, responsible for the aviation and electrical industries. For the work con commissioning the evacuated factories at a rapid pace, general quarters, and start-up of enterprises, and fulfillment of the plan at all costs, Golubtsova was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour. In 1942, she returned to Moscow. On 3 June 1943, Golubtsova, an assistant at the Department of Cable Engineering, was appointed director of the Moscow Order of Lenin of the V.M. Molotov Power Engineering Institute. She was the director of the university until 4 January 1952. As the director of the MEI Beginning to lead the MPEI, Golubtsova knew the institute well, since she herself graduated from it, studied at its graduate school, and, during her studies, was repeatedly elected to the party bureau of the institute. She knew the teaching staff, the party, Komsomol, trade union activists, the traditions, and the material base of the institute. In turn, she was well known in the circles of the top party and state leadership of the country, as well as the leadership of the electric and thermal power industry, among which were MPEI graduates Alexei Pavlenko, Dmitry Zhimerin, and Аnatoly Petrakovsky. In the position of the director of the institute, Golubtsova did a lot to expand the institute and increase its scientific potential. Those who knew her at work noted her ability to see the future and the ability to organize people to solve tasks. According to Boris Chertok's memoirs about Golubtsova during the Great Patriotic War:She assumed full responsibility, removed the confused director from the leadership, and organized, as far as possible, a normal evacuation and then the continuation of the educational activities of the institute in a new place. <...> After the war, Golubtsova, as director, showed exceptional activity in the construction of new educational buildings, a pilot plant, the expansion of the laboratory and research base, the construction of a palace of culture, a hostel and residential buildings for professors and teachers. Largely thanks to her energy, combined with her proximity to the highest authorities of the country, a whole town of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute grew up in the area of Krasnokazarmennaya Street. <...> God generously endowed her with organizational talent. The sensitivity inherent in women helped her to unite the efforts of all scientists of the institute with a minimum of contradictions. In any case, the solid MPEI professorship supported the director in all her activities.The work of Golubtsova as director was highly appreciated by her colleagues. Professor R.G. Romanov stated: Valeria Alekseyevna's place is among the most prominent MPEI figures. In my opinion, after the creator of the MPEI Karl Krug, Valeria Alekseevna Golubtsova is in second place in terms of importance, in terms of the weight of all her daily work.Professor A.N. Starostin stated: I saw in her not only a beautiful intelligent woman, a scientist, and a leader, but also a loving mother, for whom the success and happiness of children is the most important thing in life.Academician Alexander Sheindlin stated: This woman, to be objective, really did a lot to turn the MPEI into a first-class institution of higher education.The director of the MPEI at the time of Golubtsova's application for the post, Ilya Teltelbaum, stated: Director of the MPEI V. A. Golubtsova acted exceptionally bravely and decently. After reviewing the documents and the main works of Ilya Markovich and talking with him, in the midst of the "doctors' case" and the fight against "cosmopolitanism", she ordered the head of the MPEI personnel department to take this employee under her personal responsibility.Golubtsova found an opportunity and took care of the life of students. From the memoirs of students of this time:Valeria Alekseevna tried to do everything possible to help poor students, and literally dressed the graduate Kalina from head to toe, sending her to the disposal of the Altaienergo department after defending her diploma. Professor A. L. Zinovev stated: Valeria Alekseevna constantly found opportunities to provide specific targeted assistance to those in particular need of it. And always "at first there was a word", a kind word…At the same time, in the memoirs of Raisa Kuznetsova, the wife of the Director of the IIET Ivan Kunetsov, Golubtsova's pronounced antisemitism is clearly noted, in her opinion. In 1944, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR issued a resolution on the development of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, an all-Union training base for power engineers. Valeria Alekseevna took up the implementation of the government's decision with her characteristic energy and perseverance. In a short time, she obtained the necessary funds and materials for the construction of the main building of the MPEI — House Number 17. The construction battalion, with the active participation of students and employees, built buildings "B", "C", "G", "D" of house number 17, row buildings on the territory of a student hostel, all red brick houses on Energeticheskaya Street. Under the conditions of hostilities, such construction was practically impossible, since each builder was counted, but Valeria Alekseevna succeeded. It was she who was able to resolve the issue of transferring two buildings to MPEI: a large 8-story building No. 13, built in 1928-1930 according to the project of a team of domestic authors, and house No. 14, where until 1944 the headquarters of the partisan movement in the Great Patriotic War was located. Later, house number 14 was completed. In the spring of 1945, Golubtsova, who had the rank of major, visited Vienna, which had just been taken, in order to obtain a test bench and measuring equipment for MPEI, which were located at the Allgemeine Electrische Gesellschaft (AEG) electrical enterprise that was to be dismantled. Golubtsova personally supervised the MPEI research department, the capital construction department, the campus, and the educational department. She took away from the people's commissars, or in her words, "grabbed captured equipment in Germany" what was needed to equip the MPEI. With the participation and assistance of Valeria Alekseyevna, the MPEI built the only education and experimental combined heat and power plant in the USSR — the MPEI CHPP with a capacity of 12 megawatts, commissioned in 1951. She achieved the allocation of territory for the construction of rest houses near Moscow and in Crimea, in Аlupka, and when the rest house in Alupka was confiscated from the MPEI and converted into a tuberculosis sanatorium of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions, she insisted on compensation, and the MPEI was allocated a site for the construction of a sports camp in Crimea, in the Аlush ta region, which later became a cult place for MPEI students. Golubtsova actively helped employees in difficult moments of their lives: for many she "knocked out" work cards and vouchers to a sanatorium. She did not expel Boris Chertok (in the future, a prominent figure in the Soviet rocket and space industry) from the MPEI for debt, and Vladimir Kotelnikov (later a radio physicist) covered up from the Minister of State Security Viktor Kotelnikov. Among the personal nominees of Golubtsova are MPEI graduates Vladimir Kotelnikov, Boris Chertok, Vladimir Kirillin, Alexander Sheindlin, Аlexei Vogomolov, and dozens of professors. Later years and death In 1952, after a serious illness, she was forced to leave the post of director, and took up scientific work. From 1953 onwards, she was deputy director of the Institute of the History of Natural Science and Technology. In 1956 she defended her doctoral dissertation on the history of the development of cable technology in the USSR, at the same time she was awarded the academic title of professor in the department of general electrical engineering. V. A. Golubtsova put forward the idea of publishing and became the editor-in-chief of the capital two-volume History of Power Engineering in the USSR (1957). After her husband, Georgy Malenkov, was removed from all party and state posts in 1957, she followed him into exile in Oskemen, and later in Ekibastuz. After the death of her mother-in-law in 1968, they moved to the village of Udelnaya in the Moscow region. In 1971, she was made a political pensioner. From 1973 onward, she lived with her husband in Moscow, on 2 Sinichkina Street, in a two-room apartment. In 1980, by the order of Yuri Andropov, they were given a two-room apartment on theFrunzenskaya Embankment, where the couple spent the last years of their lives. Golubtsova died on 1 October 1987. She was buried with her husband at the Kuntsevo Cemetery in Moscow. Family Her husband was Georgy Malenkov, a Soviet statesman and party leader, and an ally of Joseph Stalin. They had three children, who each chose various professions, and who all became doctors of science. Volta Malenkova (1924—2010) was an architect. She had one son from her first marriage, Sergei (1946—2010). Inher second marriage she had another son, Alexander Stepanov. Together with Alexander, they had Proterozoic Aleksandrovich Stepanov (1953—2014). Malenkova took part in the construction of the Church of St. George the Victorious in the village of Semyonovskoye near Moscow. Andrei Malenkov (born 29 May 1937) is a Doctor of Biological Sciences, a professor, a specialist in the field of biophysics; and the honorary vice-president of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. Georgy Georgievich Malenkov (born 20 October 1938) is a Doctor of Chemical Sciences, a professor, and a member of the editorial board of the Structural Chemistry Journal. Grandchildren Daria Andreevna Malenkova is a marketing director in a food-related firm.

Michner Plating site
The First Businesses The Michner Plating Co. - Mechanic Street Site, as dubbed by the EPA, is a 140,000 square foot industrial complex that sits by the Grand River in Jackson, Michigan on the corner of N Mechanic Street and W Trail Street. The very first buildings on this site were constructed in the late 19th and early 20th century; these companies were Weeks Drug & Chemical, Lewis Blessings Cigar & Paper Box, and Novelty Manufacturing. By 1920 Lewis Blessings and Weeks Drug & Chemicals' property on Mechanic Street had been acquired by S.M. Isbell Seed Co. Isbell's Seeds Isbell Seed, was Michigan's biggest supplier of agricultural produce, specifically beans at the time. After the acquisition of the buildings, the S.M. Isbell Company preceded in demolition of multiple structures on site, excluding Weeks's three story building. Isbell Seed expanded the Weeks building until 1930. When looking over that site today viewers are able to observe the original Isbell signs that'd been painted on the building's facade, standing the test of time. Michner Acquisition In 1935 the three story complex was purchased by Joseph Michner, in which he would found Michner Plating Corp. The company manufactured and plated automobile parts, particularly seat belts and other small parts. Engraving, heat treating, chrome, and electroplating also made up the bulk of manufacturing that occurred at Michner Plating Co. The Michner Plating Corporation renovated the Isbell buildings for plating, repainting them with the Michner name, and continue the expansion of the buildings. The company also bought the former Novelty Mfg., site allowing them to expand on the north end of the site. Michner's changes: 1936 – New chrome line with conveyor access to the former Isbell structures 1940's – Northern loading area restructured with more coverage and access 1962 – Two floor office building and loading room, under new management of Walter Michner 1963 – Former Isbell Complex sold to SalCo Engineering 1965 – Nickel & zinc plating lines expansion, modern machinery Later Years After the site split Michner Plating Co. began receiving numerous violation notices for their Mechanic St. site. In 2007 Michner ceased operations at the Mechanic St. site, relocating to Angling Rd. where Jason Michner would take over. The vacancy time allowed for Michner to salvage metals by cutting pipes, which sparked a small fire in the unused building. Michner Plating Co. entered foreclosure in 2013 due to $1.6 million unpaid back-taxes. SalCo later relocated to Micor Drive in 2015 following the EPA's investigation into the site, discovering over '1,100 drums, vats, totes, and other containers potentially containing cyanide, zinc cyanide, nickel chloride, chromic acid, hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid, ignitable wastes, reactive wastes and other chemicals'. Groundwater soil tests were performed across the site for PFAS, due to its proximity to the Grand River, with a Hazardous Ranking System score of 39.12. In 2016 the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission inquired about Novelty Manufacturing's business in radium isotopes, which could actively harm the environment around the facility. Current status During the late 2010s the abandoned buildings became a popular spot to vandalize and explore. Due to Jackson's graffiti ordinance none of the graffiti, has been repainted since being obtained by Jackson County. The complex seems to be very popular among local underground photographers. In 2021 a portion of the roof in the north building collapsed due to age and weathering. The same section caved in again in summer 2021. The EPA returned in 2021, and designated Michner Plating as a Superfund Cleanup site, citing numerous barrels containing industrial chemicals, buried within the building's foundation. Jackson County is developing a plan to demolish the building for site reuse by December 2022. All entry points in the northern building have been sealed for the cleanup process.

The Water Thief (2012 novel)
The Water Thief is a 2012 mundane science fiction novel by American writer and philosopher Nicholas Lamar Soutter about a hyper-capitalist future in which "corporations own everything, even the air we breathe". Plot Charles Thatcher is a typical citizen in a future hyper-capitalist society. He is the property of Ackerman Brothers Securities Corporation and in this society, every commodity, even air, is sold on the market. The population is kept under control with horrific punishments delivered by a corrupt, profit-driven police service. Given that turning in thieves of resources is inventivized with the profit motive, when Charles sees a woman steal rainwater (which is corporation property), his first thought is to call the police. Hoping to secure a larger reward, he tells authorities that she is not only a water thief; he claims she is a revolution-minded militant who is agitating for the return of the ancient system known as “government.” She disappears, and he realizes that his creative editorializing in his report may have in fact been true. As he connects with the underground resistance, he learns more about the hyper-capitalist nature of the ruling corporations. At the same time, he even starts to wonder if the lure of profit is tempting the revolutionaries. Writing process After reading Ayn Rand's libertarian-themed novel Atlas Shrugged, which he found to be "quite flawed". Soutter decided to rebut Rand's arguments from Atlas Shrugged by writing a novel, The Water Thief which is about a future in which "corporations own everything, even the air we breathe". Reception In 2012 The Water Thief won a Kirkus Star from Kirkus Reviews. Kirkus Reviews called his work “[p]rofound...[and] sure to spark a reaction" and said he was "scathing, [and] ceaselessly engaging”. In 2013, the host of Blog Talk Radio, Susan Wingate, called the work a "thought-provoking novel". The 2016 edition of SFX (#277, September) calls The Water Thief an example of mundane science fiction, making the specific claim that the novel should be categorized as "Mundane SF future-history". Martha Sorren of Truthout states that Soutter "does an excellent job of building of this dystopian world and expertly connecting it to the flaws of our society today, making it easy for the reader to believe our government could morph into this corporate conglomerate if we aren’t careful."

Battle of Kiyosu Castle
Battle of Kiyosu Castle or Battle of Kaizu (August 16, 1552) was the first victory of the young Oda Nobunaga in his struggle to unite the province of Owari against his cousin, Oda Nobutomo, deputy governor of southern Owari. Background At the time when the seventeen-year-old Oda Nobunaga inherited family estates (of the so-called Shibata branch of Oda family, though Shobata Castle, built before 1520. by his grandfather, was abandoned in 1538) in the southwestern part of Owari Province (around Nagoya Castle) in spring of 1552, the southern parts of the province were ruled by his cousins, Oda from Kiyosu Castle, and the eastern parts of Owari were ruled by the powerful Imagawa clan, who at the time ruled the neighboring provinces of Mikawa, Totomi and Suruga, and their vassals, the Matsudaira clan (later Tokugawa) from Mikawa. First Battle Immediately after the death of Nobunaga's father Oda Nobuhide in spring of 1552, his cousin Oda Nobutomo, deputy governor (shugodai) of the southern Owari, attacked his domain and captured two castles, but was suppressed by Nobunaga and his uncle, Oda Nobukatsu , lord of Moriyama Castle. Together, they recaptured both forts and defeated Nobutomo's forces at the village of Kaizu (3 km from Kiyosu), killing more than 80 prominent samurai, and burned the outskirts of Kiyosu on August 16, 1552 (Lunar calendar). Second Battle Next year, on July 12, 1553, Oda Nobutomo executed the legal governor (shugo) of the province, Shiba Yoshimune, who lived as a glorified hostage at his castle, for conspiring with Nobunaga. Such a brutal violation of the governor and Shogun's authority (who was formally venerated by all Japanese daimyos at the time as their legal and ancestral lord) isolated Nobutomo from the former allies, and the governor's son Shiba Yoshikane managed to escape to Nobunaga in Nagoya. Nobunaga mobilized his forces and on the July 18th defeated Nobutomo under the walls of Kiyosu, mainly thanks to the unusually long spears (between 18 and 21 feet) of his ashigaru, which Nobunaga has designed himself. Retainers of Kiyosu suffered significant losses (more than 30 prominent samurai), but Nobunaga did not dare to attack the castle, so left it under a blockade, waiting for the opportunity to take it by cunning. Fall of Kiyosu Castle After defeating the powerful Imagawa clan in the Battle of Muraki (January 24, 1554), and liberating parts of southeastern Owari from their domination, Nobunaga gained a great reputation in Owari and got a free hand for the final showdown with Odo Nobutomo of Kiyosu. Having lost most of his vassals in the battles around the castle, Sakai Dozen, Nobutomo's chief adviser, offered Nobunaga's uncle Nobumitsu the position of provincial governor if he betrayed Nobunaga. Nobumitsu apparently agreed to betray Nobunaga, and with a group of warriors he was released in Kiyosu, but during the night his men opened the gates and the castle was conquered by storm (April 20). Oda Nobutomo was forced to commit sepuku, while Sakai Dozen managed to escape to the province of Suruga, finding refuge with Nobunaga's archenemy, Imagawa Yoshimoto. Thus Nobunaga conquered Kiyosu Castle and became lord of the southern Owari: as a reward, his uncle Nobumitsu was given Nagoya Castle and two eastern districts (out of four) of lower Owari, while Nobunaga moved to Kiyosu Castle as his new seat.

She was an eye-witness of the expulsion of Germans from Czechoslovakia. She became the first woman to hold a procuriate in Vorarlberg, and to be elected to the Schruns municipal council where she cared for cultural and social improvements. She was the mother of Cardinal Christoph Schönborn and the actor Michael Schönborn.

He was a soldier who sympathized with the resistance to the Nazis. He stubbornly refused to become an officer in the Wehrmacht, which would have been his position, and was convinced, that Hitler was a criminal. He wanted to do as little as possible for the war. In October 1944, he deserted in Belgium to the British forces. In 1945, she was expelled from Czechoslovakia, and fled with her two small children Philipp and Christoph. She found shelter first with relatives in in Lower Austria. From 1945, she lived with her sister in Graz, where she was later reunited with her husband.

Nesticus cellulanus
Nesticus cellulanus,also known as the cavity spider, is a species of scaffold web spider, with a holarctic distribution. Description Adult males have a body length of 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in), females 3.5–6 mm (0.14–0.24 in). Besides this slight size difference, the sexes are very similar in appearance.

The abdomen is also pale yellow, with three or four dark rings to either side of an irregular median band. The legs are coloured as the carapace, and sometimes bear dark annulations. The colour of the markings can vary depending on the light level of the habitat, with darker habitats causing lighter markings. Habitat Nesticus cellulanus are found primarily in damp, dark habitats such as caves, cellars, sewers and hollow trees, where they construct a web similar to steatoda. Taxonomy Nesticus cellulanus contains a single subspecies, Nesticus cellulanus affinis. References Nesticidae Spiders described in 1757

Statue of Napoleon (Rouen)
The Statue of Napoleon in the Place du Général-de-Gaulle, Rouen, Normandy was erected in 1865. The equestrian statue was sculpted in bronze by Gabriel-Vital Dubray, and its pedestal was designed by Louis Desmarest. It stands in front of the city hall. In 1881, during the Third French Republic, the city's administration saw the statue of the emperor as contrary to their values. There were plans to melt it into a new statue of an effigy of the republic, or to remove the man and leave only the horse; these plans did not come to fruition due to lack of funds. In June 2020, the statue was taken down for repairs. Fractures in the hoof of the horse meant that it could have fallen down. A treasure chest of bronze, silver and gold coins of Napoleon III – Napoleon's nephew and reigning emperor at the time of inauguration – was found inside the pedestal. In September, mayor Nicolas Mayer-Rossignol (Socialist) wished to replace it with a statue or work of art dedicated to the recently deceased feminist Gisèle Halimi. The plans were strongly opposed by the leader of the city's opposition, Jean-François Bures. Historian Thierry Lentz, director of the Fondation Napoléon, called the plans "cancel culture" and argued that Napoleon was a benefactor of Rouen, making him more locally relevant than Halimi. In December 2021, a survey of 4,080 residents found that 68% wanted the statue to remain, and the city council said it would respect the result. Later in December 2021, the statue was registered as a monument historique. References Rouen Rouen Napoleon Napoleon Napoleon Monuments historiques of Normandy

Tomskneft
JSC Tomskneft VNK — is a Russian oil and gas company, headquartered in Strezhevoy, Russia. Founded in 1966, Tomskneft is one of the largest companies of the Tomsk region and Siberia. As of 2022, the Independent Oil Company and Gazpromneft own 50% of the company respectively. History Tomskneft is the successor company to a Soviet plant that was founded in January 1966 by the decree of the Tyumen oil and gas industrial enterprise. The plant extracted the first million tons of oil in 1969. By 1974, it produced 25 million tons of oil. In 1977, the Ministry of Oil Industry separated Tomskneft from the Tyumen oil and gas industrial enterprise, thus forming the Tomskneft industrial assosiation. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Tomskneft was privatized in 1993. The next year, together with the Achinsk oil refinery, the , and several smaller Siberian oil companies it formed the basis upon which the newly founded was organized. In 1997, Yukos, one of the largest Russian oil producers at the time, acquired the majority interest of the EOC, thus taking over Tomskneft and the EOC's other subsidiaries. Tomskneft was a part of Yukos until 2007, when its shares were sold to Rosneft and Gazpromneft due to the parent company's bankruptcy. Each company acquired 50% of Tomskneft's stocks. In August 2021, Rosneft sold its block of Tomskneft's shares to the Independent Oil Company. Activity Tomskneft operates in the oil and gas industry, mainly focusing on exploration and extraction of the sources. As of 2020, the company owned 32 oil and gas fields, extracting annually up to 5,2 million of tons of oil. Controversies In December 1998, «Asirota Limited», a Cypriot company, holding 13% of Tomskneft's shares, accused Yukos of violating the rights of minority shareholders by lowering Tomskneft's oil prices. This case was later used in a trial against Mikhail Khodorkovsky, Yukos's former owner. He was allegedly accused of stealing 350 million tons of oil from Tomskneft and other Yukos's subsidiaries. Russian economist Sergei Guriev later regarded the trial and subsequent incarceration of Khodorkovsky as a political repression.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas%20Leyva
Lucas Leyva
Lucas Leyva (born October 25, 1986) is an American director, screenwriter, and producer. He has written and directed multiple acclaimed short films (often in collaboration with visual artist Jillian Mayer), as well as several music videos for bands such as Arcade Fire, Jacuzzi Boys, and Hundred Waters. Leyva is the founder of the Borscht Film Festival and the Borscht Corporation. Early life and education Leyva was born and raised in Miami, Florida. He graduated from New World School of the Arts high school in 2005 where he studied theater, and Fordham University in 2008 where he studied communications and visual art after being expelled from the theater program. Both of his parents are from Cuba. Career Leyva wrote his first one act play when he was sixteen and it was published by Playscripts inc while he was still in high school. In 2009 he founded a theater company called Foryoucansee Theater with Marco Ramirez and Alex Fumero. Their first production was an original reggaeton musical titled Toners in Time. His directorial debut was the 2009 short film Day N Night Out from a screenplay by Tarell Alvin McCraney, which screened at the Cannes Film Festival. In 2010 he began a fruitful collaboration with visual artist Jillian Mayer by producing her short film Scenic Jogging. It was shown at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 2010 as part of YouTube Play, and was selected as one of the event's 25 winners, which were also shown at the sister museums in Bilbao, Berlin, and Venice. The next year they released the one minute short film I Am Your Grandma on YouTube, which went viral with over 4 million views. The film features Mayer giving a message to her eventual grandchildren in a variety of strange, futuristic costumes. CBS blogger William Goodman described it as "oddly hypnotizing," and it was selected to screen at many film festivals and art galleries. His followup directorial effort was a collaboration with Jillian Mayer, 2012's Life and Freaky Times of Uncle Luke. A remake of Chris Marker’s La Jetee starring Luther Campbell, the short film premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, and later played SXSW. Sundance programmer Mike Plante referred to it as “an incredibly original film, both in terms of its tone and the technique of its storytelling” with “a very healthy disrespect for convention and authority." The short was called “mindblowing,” "both very smart and gleefully nuts" and “a work of whacked-out originality and manic invention” by Filmmaker Magazine and named “One of 25 essential shorts from over a century of cinema” by Fandor. The film is part of the permanent collection at the Perez Art Museum Miami and was acquired by the Criterion Collection. In 2012 he and Mayer directed a music video under the pseudonyms “Jacuzzi Gals” for the song Glazin''' by Miami garage rock band Jacuzzi Boys. The video briefly went viral before it was banned for having vagina puppets. It was called the “best music vid of the year” by Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric and “the worst music video ever” by Joseph Kahn (director of the Thong Song music video). The controversial video and legal drama surrounding it were the subject of a SXSW panel in 2013 titled “Vagina Puppets and Fair Use.” In 2012 his short film Reinaldo Arenas, starring his father and narrated by a dying shark, premiered at the 2012 Slamdance Film Festival and played SXSW. It was called “a beautiful metaphor” by the Miami New Times. In 2012, four different Mayer/Leyva projects by were in competition at SXSW, landing them a spot on Filmmaker Magazine’s "25 New Faces of Independent Film" list. The next year he reteamed with Mayer for 2013's #PostModem, a short musical film based on the theories of futurist Ray Kurzweil. The film premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, played SXSW, New York Film Festival, and MoMA as part of the Filmmaker Magazine 25 year retrospective. It was called “One of the 10 most stunning independent movies at Sundance” by Huffington Post and “among the best, the strangest, and the most entertaining films at SXSW” by TIME Magazine. The film was considered a "favorite of Sundance 2013" by IndieWire. Although it was originally intended to be developed into a feature film, Mayer and Leyva eventually realized that their concept was too expensive, despite being supported by Sundance's 2013 New Frontier Story Lab. Mayer and Leyva also teamed up with Bleeding Palm in 2013 to make the animated short film Adventures of Christopher Bosh in the Multiverse!, which tells a fantastical story of Miami basketball star Christopher Bosh and faced legal action from Bosh's lawyers and representatives. In 2014 he wrote and directed the short film The Coral Reef are Dreaming Again. Created in collaboration with marine biologists Coral Morphologic, it tells the story of two corals living in the underwater remains of Miami and premiered at the 2014 Slamdance Film Festival where it was nominated for a grand jury prize. In 2014, the Glasgow Short Film Festival hosted a retrospective of his work. In 2014 he reteamed with Mayer for yet another short film, Cool As Ice 2, described as an unauthorized sequel to the 1991 feature film Cool as Ice. According to Indiewire, the script by Leyva recounts Vanilla Ice’s rise and fall using voiceover pulled in part from his discredited autobiography, but is also a rumination on notions of failure found in the poems of Frank O’Hara and Vladimir Mayakovsky, and features a talking, dying sun that provides the main counterpoint to Ice’s attempt to get to the bottom of his post fame woes. The film was described as "side-splittingly funny" and an "absolute showstopper" with "the audacity to power a half dozen inspired features” in Indiewire and “Wildly clever, insanely absurd, and surprisingly emotionally compelling” in Bullet. In a review in Art Papers, critic Nick Pinkerton said “Cool as Ice 2 proves them boundlessly resourceful artists, getting a maximum of coup de theater effect from a minimum of resources. It gets across more cinematic awe, feeling, unexpected humor, and take-home ideas than Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar, in one-eighth the time and God knows what fraction of the budget.“ Despite the positive reception, the film has not been screen publicly since, nor released online. In 2015, he created and directed a web series called No Seasons for MTV, a “surreality show exploring the underbelly of Miami” featuring Miami personality Julian Yuri Rodriguez as an unreliable narrator. No Seasons received a Webby Award for Outstanding Reality Series in 2016. In 2015, the IFP Center hosted a retrospective of his work. His most recent short was 2017's Kaiju Bunraku, based on a play he wrote for a 24-hour theater festival. The film, made entirely with bunraku puppets, premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival and later played Fantastic Fest, where it won a jury award for “Biggest Facemelter.” Known as the first Mothra film to make it to Sundance, the short was called “a technical masterpiece” by IndieWire, “breathtakingly beautiful” by the Fountain, and “A singular vision executed with flawless abandon” in an Eye on Film review. It was acquired by The Criterion Collection to be paired with the film Mothra vs. Godzilla on the streaming platform Criterion Channel. Leyva and producer Andrew Hevia introduced Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney, and were credited with the genesis of the collaboration that would lead to the creation of the Miami-set Moonlight. Director Barry Jenkins has said that without Leyva and Hevia, Moonlight "would not exist." The film would go on to win three Oscars, including the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 89th Academy Awards in 2017. Moonlight has been cited as one of the best films of the 21st century. In response to years of frustration at his inability to get financing for his own feature film ideas, Leyva created a satirical PDF ostensibly pitching potential investors on the idea of buying him a speedboat rather than financing an independent film. Although it began as a joke, the pitch was effective and became the basis of the 2020 omnibus feature film Omniboat: A Fast Boat Fantasia, which Leyva co-wrote and co-directed with Daniels, Hannah Fidell, Alexa Lim Haas, Olivia Lloyd, Phil Lord, Jillian Mayer, The Meza Brothers, Terence Nance, Brett Potter, Dylan Redford, Xander Robin, Julian Yuri Rodriguez, and Celia Rowlson-Hall The film is made up of several different stories chronicling the life of Lay'n Pipe, a 47-foot TopGun Cigarette boat, from its conception through the end of human civilization.Omniboat: A Fast Boat Fantasia premiered on January 26, 2020, at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival as part of the NEXT category. The film received mixed reviews, though critics praised the film's originality. Dennis Harvey of Variety'' gave the film a mixed review, describing it as "an absurdist delight until it wears out its welcome" and an "adventurous experiment with some great bits, and might yet achieve the cult status that would’ve been ensured by a less unwieldy scope" concluding "there’s so much crazy invention to this project, it’s a pity the whole is exhaustingly so much less than the sum of its parts." Ben Pearson of /film gave the film a positive review, calling it "the wildest movie of Sundance 2020" and "an inexplicable, unforgettable, see-it-to-believe-it ode to one of the country’s most unique cities." He goes on to conclude "in a world in which Hollywood is dominated by intellectual property, I'm thrilled that these filmmakers willed into existence a piece of IP that's actually intellectual, as well as being bonkers, bizarre, and occasionally brilliant. I wouldn't even begin to know how to give this a traditional number rating, so instead I'll simply suggest that if you're an adventurous moviegoer and the opportunity ever arises to see this, grab as many of your friends as possible and check it out."

Troika (D'Virgilio, Morse & Jennings album)
Troika is a collaborative album by progressive rock/metal musicians Nick D'Virgilio (Big Big Train, ex-Spock's Beard), Neal Morse (The Neal Morse Band, Transatlantic, Flying Colors, ex-Spock's Beard) and Ross Jennings (Haken, Novena) under the moniker D'Virgilio, Morse & Jennings. It was released through InsideOut Music on February 25, 2022. Background The album was envisioned by Neal Morse, who wanted to create acoustic songs with vocal harmonies. He first thought of his former Spock's Beard mate Nick D'Virgilio, and then they considered Ross Jennings for the third voice. Jennings commented that people shouldn't expect a "Spock's Beard meets Haken" album, and the trio has compared itself to Crosby, Stills and Nash. The album was officially announced in September 2021. In November 29 they teased the first single "Julia"; the song was later released on December 21, 2021, alongside the announcement of the album's release date. "Julia" was written by Jennings as a 8-minute epic, which was later shortened by Morse. The second single, "Everything I Am", came on January 11, 2022. It was written by Morse "one morning when my wife was having a bad day and it's about how no matter what happens our lives are fully intertwined no matter what." The third single, "You Set My Soul on Fire", was written by D'Virgilio and came out on February 8. Critical reception Scott Medina, on Sonic Perspectives, commented that "to some degree, the project has already realized its potential within the course of one minute. The rest is just icing." He criticized the song order, believing that the first half was "much more acoustic-based and the rockers coming towards the latter half, making for a confusing listening experience. Mixing it up more could have made for a better-rounded presentation of the range of the material."

Sara Pelham Speaks
Sara Pelham Speaks (November 7, 1902 – August 23, 1984) was an American lawyer and activist. She was the first Black woman to run for a Congressional seat as the candidate of a major party, when she was the Republican candidate who opposed Adam Clayton Powell Jr. in 1944. Early life and education Sara Pelham was born in Washington, D.C., the daughter of Robert A. Pelham and Gabrielle Lewis Pelham. Her father was a lawyer and newspaper editor; her mother was a pianist, music educator, and founder of the Detroit Study Club. Her uncle was a noted civil engineer, Frederick Blackburn Pelham. Her sister was Dorothy Pelham Beckley, the second national president of Delta Sigma Theta. Pelham graduated from Dunbar High School and from the University of Michigan in 1924, where she majored in chemistry, and protested unequal treatment at a lunch counter near campus. She completed a law degree at New York University in 1936. Career Speaks helped her father organize the Capital News Service and worked as a journalist in Washington, D.C. after college. She ran for a seat in the New York State Assembly in 1937, and won her primary, but lost the general election by a small margin. In 1944, she ran as the Republican candidate against Adam Clayton Powell Jr. for a new Congressional seat in New York City; she lost decisively, partly based on a campaign of rumors about her racial identity, but she won the endorsement of the New York Amsterdam News, and was the first Black woman to be a major party's candidate for a Congressional seat. The New York Amsterdam News framed her loss as holding the promise of future success: "The old precedent has been broken and the way opened for a Congresswoman from the ranks of Negro women. The future holds that." She was disbarred in 1948, following accusations of misconduct. Speaks was active in the Urban League, Delta Sigma Theta, the New York State Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs. She worked on Republican presidential campaigns in 1932, 1936, and 1940. Personal life Sara Pelham married physician F. Douglas Speaks in 1926; they had one son. She died in 1984, aged 81 years, in New York. References External links Sara Pelham Speaks, with Francis E. Rivers and James R.

It follows a dog on his quest to become human again, but the only way he can become human again is to find true love. It stars Stephen Kramer Glickman, Jana Camp, Aneese Khamo, Michaelina Lee, and Gloria Winship Ayon. It was panned by critics, however in the years since, the film has garnered a cult following after it was reviewed by YouTuber Ralphthemoviemaker. It is infamous for having no music in the entire movie. Plot A man named Alvin Flang has been cursed by a lake, and must find true love in order to become human again. He then meets comes into the care of Lisa, a young woman who will not date. Lisa has two relationships, however both end as the first one ends in a confession that he is gay, and the second when he tries to rape her. Alvin rescues her from the man, and she dubs him "Prince." Lisa, now stressed, overdoses. Prince brings the police to her and she conesses she loves him, turning him into the human form of Prince. They soon learn, howeer, that Prince becomes dog by day and human by night. To earn money, Prince stars in some ads. However, Lisa finds out, and is furious. Lisa's mother's friend and mother both invite Lisa to dinner to meet Prince. They both pressure Lisa into meeting Lisa at the courthouse at 10 the next day to get married. Prince does not show up, because he is a dog, and Lisa's mother goes into cardiac arrest. Lisa goes to her new boss's house for dinner with Prince, but he turns into a dog in front of everyone. Lisa becomes furious at Prince, and he runs away in shame. Lisa realizes she loves Prince, and Prince comes back. However, just before they meet, he is hit by a car and dies. Years later, Prince is reincarnated. He meets with Lisa again, and the two of them get married. Cast Jana Camp as Lisa Stephen Kramer Glickman as Alvin Flang/Prince (dog voice-over) Aneese Khamo as Alvin Flang/Prince (human) Gloria Winship Ayon as Lisa's Mother Michaelina Lee as Friend Additionally, Shane Ayon is a Store Owner Production According to cast member Steven Kramer Glickman, he was paid with wontons and canteloupes by direction Fen Tian.Tian had apparently also got the money to create the movie from a Chinese Church, thinking it would be a religious film. When seeing the final product, they requested their name be removed. Glickman also sang at random times in the film, assured by Tian that music would be filled in in post-production. However, due to copyright issues, Tian was unable to put music in the film. As a result, there is not music in the film whatsoever. The editor of the movie also requested his name be removed from the film following viewing it. As of February 2022, the identity of the editor has not been revealed to the public. Reception and Legacy Love on a Leash was negatively received by critics. Mitch Ringenberg of the Midwest Film Journal criticized the audio, explaining, "Throughout the runtime, it sounds like he’s either reading his lines from across the room or simply deep-throating the mic to get as close as possible." He ended his review stating, "It goes so far down the rabbit hole of unwatchability that it emerges on the other side as something entirely new." Sujay Utkarsh of The Tartan also criticized the coherency, saying "This is far and away the most confusing thing I’ve ever seen." In early 2018, YouTuber Ralphthemoviemaker reviewed the film and told his followers to give it a 10/10 on IMDb. This resulted in Love on a Leash becoming the highest rated film on IMDb and the subsequent banning of his account. He then moved to Letterboxd, where it remains the most controversial film on the site. References

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice%20confinement%20fusion
Lattice confinement fusion
Lattice confinement fusion is a type of nuclear fusion which generates energy via exposing deuteron-saturated metals to gamma radiation, avoiding the usage of magnetically confined high-temperature gasses used in other methods of fusion energy generation. A team of NASA researchers seeking a new energy source for deep-space exploration missions, recently revealed a method for triggering nuclear fusion in the space between the atoms of a metal solid. The method NASA revealed accomplishes fusion reactions with the fuel (deuterium, a widely available non-radioactive hydrogen isotope composed of a proton, neutron, and electron, and denoted “D”) confined in the space between the atoms of a metal solid. In previous fusion research such as inertial confinement fusion, fuel (such as deuterium/tritium) is compressed to extremely high levels but for only a short, nano-second period of time, when fusion can occur. In magnetic confinement fusion, the fuel is heated in a plasma to temperatures much higher than those at the center of the Sun. In the new method, conditions sufficient for fusion are created in the confines of the metal lattice that is held at ambient temperature. While the metal lattice, loaded with deuterium fuel, may initially appear to be at room temperature, the new method creates an energetic environment inside the lattice where individual atoms achieve equivalent fusion-level kinetic energies.

Prosecution of Offences Act 1884
The Prosecution of Offences Act 1884 was an act of the United Kingdom Parliament. Its main purpose was to modify the original Prosecution of Offences Act 1879, merging the roles of Director of Public Prosecutions and Treasury Solicitor (Section 2), though it also put in place a requirement for Commissioners and Assistant Commissioners and District Superintendents of the Metropolitan Police, Commissioners of the City of London Police, Chief Constables and the heads of every other county, city and borough police forces in England to report to the Director (Sections 3–4). Its Section 2 was itself repealed by the Prosecution of Offences Act 1908, again splitting the two roles. References Prosecution services of the United Kingdom United Kingdom Acts of Parliament 1884

Jean-Claude Dondel and Roger Dhuit
Jean-Claude Dondel (1904 – 1989) and Roger Dhuit (1910 – unknown) were a team of French architects. Career Dondel came to notice at the Viard & Dastugue study, where he co-designed the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris for the 1937 World's Fair. Dhuit spent some of his early years working for Henri Bernard. Dondel and Dhuit started their formal collaboration in 1955. Both men owned the government-sanctioned title of Architecte des bâtiments civils et palais nationaux (English: Chief Architect of Civilian Buildings and National Palaces) which, before more open competitions became standard in the early 1980s, positioned them as prime candidates to design public sports and educational facilities in the country. Dondel was also an architecture advisor to the French Ministry of Education. In 1963 Dondel and Dhuit, in association with Dhuit's former mentor Henri Bernard, won the tender to design a proposed 100,000 seat national stadium in Vincennes, but the project stalled and was later abandonned in favor of a rebuild of the existing Parc des Princes. Dondel and Dhuit would instead make their mark producing more utilitarian buildings at a very high rate in order to satisfy France's rapid demographic growth, with some of their less expensive projects re-using previous design templates. Within a relatively short span of eleven years, their partnership is credited with some thirty schools across French territory, in addition to many sports facilities. Following his collaboration with Dhuit, Dondel was part of another team that designed the "Iris" model of prefabricated swimming pool in 1971. It was selected for large scale production by the French Ministry of Youth and Sports as part of the Plan 1000 piscines (English: 1000-Pool Plan), an effort to increase France's network of aquatic facilities. Fifty-four of them were made.

Eleninsky Institute
Petersburg Institute of St. Helena () is a closed women's educational institution of the Russian Empire, part of the department of institutions of Empress Maria, which existed from 1821 to 1918 in St. Petersburg. History On 5 October 1821, by decree of Emperor Alexander I and with the assistance of Empress Maria Feodorovna, the School for Mutual Education according to the Lancaster system was created at the St. Petersburg Orphanage, created to educate children of both sexes. The first head of the school was a student of Joseph Lancaster, Sarah Kilgum. Education at the school was carried out according to the Bell-Lancaster system. In the structure of the School, two departments were created: male and female, in total there were one hundred and forty children of both sexes. The main subjects of study at the School were arithmetic, writing and reading. In 1830, after the death of Empress Maria Feodorovna, Grand prince Elena Pavlovna took the School under her patronage. In 1855, a building was purchased for the School, which belonged to the previously famous writer Ivan Krylov on the Petersburg side at Tserkovnaya Street, 29, in 1851, rebuilt and expanded by the architect N. P. Grebyonka. From 1871 to 1872, the building underwent a superstructure under the guidance of the architect N.F. Montandra, and in 1898 to 1900 the task was rebuilt under the guidance of the architect A.I. Shambacher and with the participation of the architects N.I. Poleshko and F.B. Nagel. In 1898, the house Church of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Constantine and Helena was built, and on 2 February 1901, it was consecrated by Metropolitan Anthony in the presence of Empress Maria Feodorovna. The shroud and icons for the church were painted by the painterCarl Timoleon von Neff. On 20 November 1854, Emperor Nicholas I, at the request of Grand prince Elena Pavlovna, signed a Decree on renaming the School of Mutual Education into the School of St. Helena, in honor of the heavenly patroness of the School - the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Empress Elena, from that moment on, the School becomes a closed women's educational institution, part of the department of institutions Empress Maria. On 5 February 1865 and 7 March 1878 Emperor Alexander II visited the School. On 27 July 1880, the Charter of the educational institution was adopted, according to which the School was transformed into the Institute of St. Helena, becoming an educational institution of the 2nd category. About one hundred and seventy pupils from poor families of all classes studied at the institute on a full board basis. The main subjects of study at the institute were: natural history, pedagogy, foreign languages, Russian language and literature, hygiene, music, dancing and gymnastics. In 1901, the institute began issuing diplomas of home tutors to its graduates. In 1910, the institute received the official right to be called a women's institute, and its pupils, who successfully completed the course of study, acquired the right to receive a golden cipher. Over the years, the teaching staff of the institute was made up of well-known people in their fields: the educational part was headed by K. K. Arngeim, the history was headed by V. A. Butenko, the musical part was headed by Mily Balakirev, F. A. Kanille and E. S. Azeev, the teacher was V. G. Pevtsov. Vladimir Stoyunin and the well-known lawyer Anatoly Koni, who wrote the draft Charter of the institute, were members of the Council of the institute. The well-known writer Vladimir Odoyevsky was an assistant in the management of the institute. In 1918, after the October Revolution and the advent of the new government, the Eleninsky Institute was closed. On the basis of the institute, the Unified Soviet Labor School No. 199 was created with a boarding school No. 3 named after Nikolay Dobrolyubov. At the moment, the former building of the institute houses the Secondary School No. 77 with an in-depth study of chemistry in the Petrograd region.
