70198588 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatode | Pneumatode | In botany, pneumatodes describe air-containing structures in roots. Their function is to allow gaseous exchange in root tissues. This can be beneficial to semi-aquatic plants, such as neo-tropical palms. Plants with photosynthetic roots, such as epiphytic orchids like Dendrophylax lindenii also posess these structures. They play a role in fungal interactions.
Etymology
The name of the structure is derived from the Greek word πνεῦμα (pneûma), meaning breath and ὁδός (hodós), meaning pathway.
Fungal interactions
Fungal infections of plants may begin through penetration of the roots through pneumatodes.
Functional analogy to stomata
Pneumatodes are considered as a special type of cyclocytic stomata. The entire structure may rise above the adjacent epidermis. The pneumatodes may function as double structures for gas exchange and liquid water elimination (guttation). Leafless orchids with photosynthetic roots rely on the gas exchange through pneumatodes for photosynthesis.
Taxonomic importance
These structures are characteristic for different species and can be used to differentiate between them. These features can be used to distinguish between palm species. They can also be used in the field of paleobotany, as the structures may be preserved in fossilized roots.

70198704 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My%20Long-Haired%20Life | My Long-Haired Life | My Long-Haired Life is an album by the American musician Marti Jones, released in 1996. It was released the same year as a live album, Live at Spirit Square, which was recorded in 1990. The albums marked a return from a six-year recording hiatus. My Long-Haired Life'''s title alludes to Jones's career before motherhood.
The album's first single was "It's Not What I Want".
Production
The album was produced by Don Dixon. Eight of the album's 11 songs are covers; the other three were cowritten by Jones and Dixon. The pair duetted on the cover of Joe Tex's "You Got What It Takes"; "Sleep of the Just" is a cover of the Elvis Costello song. Jones played a 1940 000-18 Martin guitar on the album.
Critical receptionNo Depression called the album "too adult for alternative rock, too pure pop for adult alternative, too smart for Top 40 ... Banished to eclectic public radio shows forever." The Austin Chronicle wrote that "the real surprise ... is that Jones shines brightest when pouring over her own songs penned with longtime cohort Don Dixon." The St. Louis Post-Dispatch concluded that My Long-Haired Life "is a lean, beautiful record and one of the best of 1996."
The Chicago Tribune stated: "Embracing folk, pop and blue-eyed soul, Jones displays a nimble vocal style and a broad range of influences." The San Diego Union-Tribune praised the "Marti-in-Memphis take" on Otis Redding's "Champagne and Wine". The Charleston Daily Mail'' thought that "the tunes showcase Jones' smooth, lilting alto and Dixon's ear-pleasing sense of 'what goes where'."
AllMusic called the album "a wonderfully eclectic pool of material."

70198709 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Sherlock%20%28Irish%20politician%29 | John Sherlock (Irish politician) | Sir John Sherlock (1603-1652) was an Irish landowner, politician and courtier of the seventeenth century.
He was born at Littlerath, near Sallins, County Kildare, eldest son of the wealthy merchant Christopher Sherlock and his first wife Eleanor. The Sherlock family had settled in Kildare early in the previous century.
He appear to have enjoyed the favour of King Charles I of England: he was knighted in 1635 and became a gentleman of the Privy Chamber. The family was traditionally Roman Catholic, but John conformed to the Church of Ireland. His father had sat in three Irish Parliaments between 1613 and 1642, and John himself entered the Irish House of Commons in 1642 as member for Dublin on the expulsion of Patrick Barnwall. As Roman Catholics were now in effect excluded from Parliament, he was required to take the Oath of Supremacy and apparently did so without any pressure, despite his Catholic background.
He died in March 1652 and was buried in St. Michan's Church, Dublin. He married twice: nothing is known of his first wife. His second wife, whom he married in 1634, was Katherine Ashburnham, who outlived him and remarried. He had no children, and his estates passed to his half-brother Phillip.

70198751 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirzapur%20%28soundtrack%29 | Mirzapur (soundtrack) | Mirzapur is the soundtrack for the Amazon Prime Original web television series of the same name, created by Karan Anshuman. The series directed by Anshuman, Gurmmeet Singh and Mihir Desai features Pankaj Tripathi, Shweta Tripathi, Divyendu Sharma, Ali Fazal, Vikrant Massey, Shriya Pilgaonkar, Rasika Dugal, Harshita Gaur and Kulbhushan Kharbanda in the first season, whereas the second season has Vijay Varma, Isha Talwar, Lilliput, Anjum Sharma, Priyanshu Painyuli, Anangsha Biswas and Neha Sargam in prominent roles.
The series features 12 songs composed by Anand Bhaskar and John Stewart Eduri, who also composed the background score. It features few songs from the first and second season respectively. It was released on 21 October 2020 by Zee Music Company label.
Development
Before composing for Mirzapur, Bhasker worked in an advertising agency, who later quit his job to pursue his career as a full-time musician. On bagging the project, he stated in an online news portal that he got a random call from Abbas Khan, the show's head producer, who informed him to the music producer Ankur Tewari. The creative team wanted Bhaskar to pen few songs so that Ankur want to work on the soundtrack.
The album had twelve songs compiled for both season one and two. It took him about a year to create all the songs in Mirzapur, however the time for the composition of the songs individually took a few months. He initially planned to release all the songs in March 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, it took him more time for composition.
Composition
For the songs "Tittar Bittar", Bhaskar roped in his entire band Anand Bhaskar Collective, along with indie musician Isheeta Chakravarty to render vocals for this number. Ginny Diwan, the lyricist of this song penned the lyrics within an hour. Anand stated that "It’s an ‘item song’ from a woman's point of view while a fight is on. I'm grateful the directors supported our wacky ideas". Later he also roped in Shipla Surroch and Keka Ghoshal, who were also independent singers to record the album. Anand Bhaskar planned to compose a wedding song for Guddu (Ali Fazal) and Sweety (Shriya Pilagonkar) which is touted to be a Sufi number. An original song titled "Varoon" was created for the same.
Bhasker stated that "Munna Rap" was not initially planned to happen in 2015. He opined that the makers of Mirzapur (Mihir Desai and Gurmmeet Singh) were focusing more on situational songs. He also had a Sufi song ("Varoon"), a Bhojpuri song ("Sajanwa Ki Gunwa") and a Punjabi wedding song ("Saure Chali Ve"). "Munna Rap" was difficult to compose, according to Bhaskar, since he had to mix influences from Uttar Pradesh folk as the modern hip-hop to achieve the right sound. With "Munna Rap" became an exceptional hit upon release Bhaskar stated that the song managed to give a chance to compose in genres that were out of his comfort zone. Being the last song that Bhaskar had composed for the series, the song also had a female version performed by Shilpa Surroch.

70198778 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moondog%20%281956%20album%29 | Moondog (1956 album) | Moondog is an album by the American composer and musician Moondog, released by Prestige Records in 1956. Moondog had released the same music on his own label earlier that year as Snaketime Series. Moondog was at the time a street musician in New York City who had attained some recognition as a composer. He was signed by Prestige Record, where Moondog became the first of three Moondog albums produced by Bob Weinstock. It contains eclectic works from Moondog's first decade as a composer.
Background
Louis "Moondog" Hardin was a blind street musician in New York City who had achieved some publicity and acclaim with a series of recordings in the early 1950s, some on his own labels and some released by established record companies. In 1955 he released a single with the tracks "Caribea" and "Oo Debut". They became the opening tracks of his LP Snaketime Series, released in 1956 on his own label. The same year he signed with Prestige Records which released the album Moondog with the exact same content as Snaketime Series. It became the first of three Moondog albums produced by Bob Weinstock and released by Prestige in the second half of the decade.
The material on the three Prestige records represent Moondog's output from his first decade as a composer and his way of performing on the streets during these years. As for his his outlook at the time they were released, they were already outdated; new influences such as Edgard Varèse and the realism of Niccolò Machiavelli were leading him in new directions.
Release
Although Snaketime Series and Moondog have the same content, Moondog's biographer Robert Scotto says their cover art reveal how they were intended for different audiences. Snaketime Series has a photograph of Moondog happily playing a flute on a rooftop, accompanied by his wife Mary who holds a Japanese short sword, and on the back identifies the other performers as "friends". Moondog shows the composer as a shadowy and imposing loner and contains a text about his "eclectic approach to composition". According to Scotto, Snaketime Series focuses on Moondog as a street performer whereas the Prestige album presents him as a prograssive jazz composer.
Reception
AllMusic's Richie Unterberger highlighted the unconventional nature of Moondog, which uses a lot of repitition, is driven by maraca and clave beats, uses Asian influences and incorporates animal noises. He called the album unpredictable and idiosyncratic and described the music as "very enigmatic yet attention-holding stuff, ripe for discovery by new generations". Scotto describes it as "Moondog on nature" and contrasts it with the love theme of the second Prestige album. He counts "Caribea", "Tree Trail", "Frog Bog" and Surf Session" to the composer's early, eclectic and dynamic way of working, whereas "To a Sea Horse", "Death, When You Come to Me" and "Trees Against the Sky" point toward his later works, saying they "underscore the power of Moondog's unadorned style". The Encyclopedia of Popular Music rates it four out of five stars, signifying an "excellent" album.

70198963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birdland%2C%20Neuburg%202011 | Birdland, Neuburg 2011 | Birdland, Neuburg 2011 is a live album by pianist Cecil Taylor and drummer Tony Oxley. It was recorded at the Birdland Jazz Club in Neuburg an der Donau, Germany in November 2011, and was released in 2020 by Fundacja Słuchaj! Records.
The album was one of two that were produced from recordings that Tony Oxley found in his personal archives in 2020, the other being Being Astral and All Registers – Power of Two.
Reception
Michael Rosenstein, in a review for Point of Departure, stated: "One can hear Taylor working through his 'unit structures,' spontaneously delving into his language of malleable clusters, fluid harmonic constructions, and vigorous sense of flow. Oxley locks right in as an active colleague, finding a gripping balance to Taylor's thrusts and parries, jointly moving toward unequivocal resolution... Taylor didn't perform or record much in his later years, so this document is welcome, particularly as it captures the two musicians at the top of their game."
In a review for Stereogum, Phil Freeman wrote: "This duo set... features both men at the top of their game. Oxley's particular contribution — what makes him unlike any other drummer, in free jazz or otherwise — is his crisp use of cymbals and small toms that sound like he's playing a collection of tuned plastic buckets. He cuts right through Taylor's tidal waves of piano, keeping pace with him at all times and offering compelling counter-narratives. The recording, courtesy of German radio, is impossibly clean and detailed; you can literally hear Taylor's piano bench creaking during many sections. This is an essential document for any Taylor fan."
Derek Taylor, writing for Dusted Magazine, commented: "A Cecil Taylor concert isn't context conducive to conversation or inattention. Allowing one's mind to wander isn't a luxury to indulge in lest the sequential intricacies of the ensuing architectures become obfuscated. Even within the accepted degree of unspoken decorum, the German assemblage distinguishes itself in its collective engagement. Taylor and Oxley reciprocate with an unbroken, animated dialogue riddled with elaborations and instigations. The minutes evaporate, eventually adding up to an approximate hour that feels much shorter in mental sum. A musical alliance forged three decades earlier on a different German stage remains indisputably intact."
In a review for The Whole Note, Ken Waxman remarked: "Taylor was 82 at this gig, yet displayed no loss of interpretative power. Paradoxically in fact, his playing is more adventurous and masterful than on his first LP in 1956. Like a late-career interpretation by Rubinstein or Horowitz, this CD is both defining and definitive."
A review at the Marlbank web site stated: "It's a reminder once again how remarkable Taylor's sound was, how in alliance with drummer Tony Oxley in a setting that emphasises the power he exerted at the piano and once again how uncompromising his approach was. Full of an intrepid sense of adventure and a sense of freedom where he can do anything he wants to Taylor teases out the tiniest phrase to expand his improvisations into an infinity and the album has a unity to it, Oxley's free flowing multi-directional style swirling and rising behind him in a thrilling combination."

70199061 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamchatka%20State%20Technical%20University | Kamchatka State Technical University | Kamchatka State Technical University () is a public university located in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia. It was founded in 1942.
History
The history of the university is usually counted from the moment of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Marine Fisheries Technical School foundation in 1942. Order of USSR People's Commissariat for Fishery Industry about technical school organization dated January 6, 1942 reached Petropavlovsk only on January 20. In the city began to build classrooms and a dormitory for students.
During World War II the Kamchatka fishing industry received an impetus to development: fishing was no longer seasonal, fishing began to be carried out from trawling vessels and not only near the shore, new types of products appeared and new types of fish processing and storage in the form of its freezing began to be introduced. The port of Petropavlovsk was expanded and began to be used as a transshipment base for cargo from the United States and Canada. The main user of the peninsula's natural resources, the Kamchatka Joint Stock Company, needed new qualified personnel.
In 1946, the technical school received a new name: "Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka Marine Fisheries Technical School of the Ministry of Fisheries Industry of the Eastern regions of the USSR".
In February 1952, the technical school was transformed into the Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka Naval Military School (PKMU). After the reorganization, students began to be called cadets, and the teaching staff included officers.
In 1960, the school began training radio specialists and opened a correspondence department. Engineers in Kamchatka began to be trained even earlier, since 1957, when in Petropavlovsk there was opened a training and consulting center of the Far East Technical Institute of Fish Industry and Economy.
Since January 1, 1991, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka Nautical College and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka Higher Marine Engineering School were transformed into an educational complex "Petropavlovsk-Kamchatka Higher Marine School" (PKVMU).
In 1997 PKVMU was renamed into KGARF (Kamchatka State Academy of Fishing Fleet). In 2000 it was renamed into Kamchatka State Technical University (KSTU). This name is kept by the educational institution until now.

The defending champions are the High Point Panthers.
Seeds
With the addition of North Carolina A&T before the season, the conference increased its membership to 12 teams and split into divisions for the first time since 2013–14. The division winners will be awarded the top two seeds, with the rest of the teams being seeded by record, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.
The tiebreakers operate in the following order:
Head-to-head record.
Record against the top-ranked conference team not involved in the tie, going down the standings until the tie is broken.

70199259 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1452/1453%20mystery%20eruption | 1452/1453 mystery eruption | The 1452/1453 mystery eruption is a volcanic eruption that took place in the 1450s.
In Antarctic and Greenland ice cores, a major eruption or series of eruptions is revealed as a spike in sulfate concentration, showing that the release in form of particles was higher than any other eruption since. Also, analysis of the ice cores pinpointed the event to late 1452 or early 1453. The volume of expelled matter is more than six times larger than that of the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo and would have caused a volcanic winter, a severe cooling of the entire planet the following three years. The link between the sulphur spike and the Kuwae caldera is questioned in a 2007 study by Károly Németh, et al. proposing the Tofua caldera as an alternative source candidate.
Climatic consequences of 1452–1453 event
The 1452/1453 ruption has been linked with the second pulse of the Little Ice Age, which had started two centuries earlier with the Samalas eruption and other three unidentified eruptions.
A study by Dr Kevin Pang of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory drew on evidence found in tree rings, ice cores and in the historic records of civilizations in Europe and China. Oak panels of British portrait paintings had abnormally narrow rings in 1453–55.
In Sweden, grain tithes fell to zero as the crops failed. Bristlecone pines of the Western United States show frost damage in 1453. The growth of European and Chinese trees was stunted in 1453–57.
Mexican codices describe autumn frosts in 1453 that affected agriculture throughout central Mexico.
According to the history of the Ming Dynasty in China in the spring of 1453, "nonstop snow damaged wheat crops". Later that year, as the dust obscured the sunlight, "several feet of snow fell in six provinces; tens of thousands of people froze to death".
Early in 1454, "it snowed for 40 days south of the Yangtze River and countless died of cold and famine". Lakes and rivers were frozen, and the Yellow Sea was icebound out to from shore.
The eruption occurred just before the Fall of Constantinople, the last bastion of the once-mighty Byzantine Empire. The Ottoman Turks, led by Sultan Mehmed II, laid siege to the city on 5 April 1453 and conquered it on 29 May 1453. Pang found mention of the volcano's after-effects in chronicles of the city's last days. Historians noted that the city's gardens, that spring, produced very little. On the night of 22 May 1453, the moon, the symbol of Constantinople, rose in dark eclipse, fulfilling a prophecy of the city's demise. On 25 May 1453, a thunderstorm burst on the city: "It was impossible to stand up against the hail, and the rain came down in such torrents that whole streets were flooded". The next day, on 26 May 1453, the whole city was blotted out by a thick fog, a condition that is unknown in that part of the world in that month.
When the fog lifted that evening, "flames engulfed the dome of the Hagia Sophia, and lights, too, could be seen from the walls, glimmering in the distant countryside far behind the Turkish camp (to the west)", historians noted. Residents of the city thought the strange light was from reflection from a fire set by the Turkish attackers. Pang said, however, that the "fire" was an optical illusion by the reflection of intensely red twilight glow by clouds of volcanic ash high in the atmosphere. Many such false fire alarms were reported worldwide after the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia.
Pang said, "I conclude that Kuwae erupted in early 1453.... The residual volcanic cloud could have made the apocalyptic June 1456 apparition of the Comet Halley look 'red' with a 'golden' tail, as reported by contemporary astronomers".

M. Rathnam. Anirudh Ravichander composed the film's soundtrack, collaborating with Ajith and Siva for the first time. The album featured four songs written by Madhan Karky, Rokesh, Viveka and Siva, and a theme track, although media falsely reported the film has five songs. The soundtrack album was released on 21 October 2015, while it's audio rights were purchased by Sony Music.
Release
On 1 May 2015, coincidng with Ajith's birthday, Anirudh reported to social media, that the introduction song and theme music for the film has been completed. "Veera Vinayaka", the introductory number is based on the Vinayagar Chathurthi celebrations, similar to "Maha Ganapathi" from Amarkalam (1999) and "Pillayarpatti Hero" from Vaanmathi (1996). The theme track of the film is rumoured to be titled "Verithanam" which was proved untrue. The album featured songs recorded by Shruti Haasan, and Punjabi-rapper Badshah, in his first Tamil song. The film's incomplete track list featuring the song titles, was released through Anirudh's Twitter handle on 12 October 2015, and the official track list was unveiled shortly after two days. It was reported that the soundtrack album will be released during the composer's birthday on 16 October 2015. But the album was eventually released on 21 October 2015, coinciding with Dusshera.

Reception
Reviewing for The Times of India, Sharanya CR wrote "After giving a hit album like Naanum Rowdy Dhaan, Anirudh effortlessly changes his game in this mass album." Behindwoods gave the album, a rating of 2.75 out of 5 saying "Anirudh serves it hot for Ajith fans!" Milliblog reviewed it as a "punchy" and "likeable commercial soundtrack." Indiaglitz gave a rating of 3 out of 5 and stated the album as "Modern", "youthful" and "energetic". In contrast, Bollywoodlife.com gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and stated the album as "okayish", while India.com rated the same and opined that "the album is a let down and the four songs and the theme fail to meet expectations." Reviewing for Moviecrow, Ramesh S Kannan who gave a rating of 2.5 out of 5 stated that "Anirudh has got mired into an unimpressive set of tunes with occasional highs in terms of orchestration. Overall, songs don't do justice to the high expectations or the legacy of the immensely innovative composer."

Elections will take place in 977 out of 7,904 municipalities, 26 of which are provincial capitals. Mayors and city councils will be elected for the ordinary five-year terms, lasting till 2027.
Voting system
The voting system is used for all mayoral elections in Italy in the cities with a population higher than 15,000 inhabitants. Under this system, voters express a direct choice for the mayor or an indirect choice voting for the party of the candidate's coalition. If no candidate receives 50% of votes during the first round, the top two candidates go to a second round after two weeks. The winning candidate obtains a majority bonus equal to 60% of seats. During the first round, if no candidate gets more than 50% of votes but a coalition of lists gets the majority of 50% of votes or if the mayor is elected in the first round but its coalition gets less than 40% of the valid votes, the majority bonus cannot be assigned to the coalition of the winning mayor candidate.
The election of the City Council is based on a direct choice for the candidate with a maximum of two preferential votes, each for a different gender, belonging to the same party list: the candidate with the majority of the preferences is elected. The number of the seats for each party is determined proportionally, using D'Hondt seat allocation. Only coalitions with more than 3% of votes are eligible to get any seats.

70199371 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben%20Lewis%20%28historian%29 | Ben Lewis (historian) | Ben Lewis is a British historian and translator specialising in German political thought between 1871 and 1945. He has a particular interest in the disputed legacy of European social democracy and is known for English-language translations of the works of Karl Kautsky, one of the leading theoreticians of German social democracy.
Education
Lewis was born in South Wales, studying German at Sheffield and Bonn. He has taught German grammar, language, translation, politics and history at the University of Sheffield, the University of Huddersfield, the Open University and King’s College London. His PhD research at Sheffield focused on historian and philosopher Oswald Spengler and is set to be published in book form in July 2022.
Career and research
Lewis collections of articles dealing with the history of European social democracy and communism, including Clara Zetkin: Letters and Writings (with Mike Jones); Kautsky on Colonialism (with Mike Macnair); and Zinoviev and Martov: Head to Head in Halle (with Lars T Lih). Lewis sole editor of Karl Kautsky on Democracy and Republicanism.
Lewis has a particular standpoint on the legacy of Kautsky and the relative disdain shown by the contemporary left towards his and work. Lewis partly follows the ideas of the historian Lars T Lih in stressing that VI Lenin’s denunciation of the “renegade Kautsky” in 1918 counterposed him to his earlier record “when he was a Marxist”. For Lewis, the pre-1914 Kautsky, “embodied the continuation of Marxism as it became a historical reality for millions of people”. Lewis sees three sources for the latter-day left-wing and academic ignorance of Kautsky: the Soviet Union and former Eastern Bloc’s bastardization of Marxism (and a smaller-scale Trotskyist copy); Western pro-capitalist Cold War historiography; and the neo-Hegelian interpretation of Marxism.

Designed by local architect John Young, the building is Category B listed, dating to 1881. Standing on Tay Street, the building was originally the home of the Perthshire Society of Natural Science Museum, constructed in memory of Sir Thomas Moncreiffe, 7th Baronet, a past president of the society. The museum housed two exhibits: a local (or regional) collection (which contained a collection of the animals, plants and rocks to be found in Perthshire and the basin of the Tay) and The Type (or Index) Museum, which illustrated the main types of animals, plants and rocks.
The museum was extended in 1895 by John Young's son, George Penrose Kennedy Young.
In 1902, the museum and its collection were given to the town council. The museum closed in 1934, and its artefacts moved to Perth Museum and Art Gallery on nearby George Street.
The building subsequently became a Masonic hall. A Masonic insignia is carved into the doorpiece.
The northern end of the building (number 68–72) were destroyed by a fire in 1987.
Number 63 is the home of restaurant 63 Tay Street.

70199438 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.%20Thomas%20Bradbury | A. Thomas Bradbury | Abraham Thomas Bradbury (April 4, 1902 – November 14, 1992) was an American architect best known for his work in Atlanta during the mid-1900s. During this time, he designed many buildings for the government of Georgia around the Georgia State Capitol. His most famous work is arguably the Georgia Governor's Mansion, located in the Buckhead district of the city. While many of his works tended to be in the modernist style, the mansion is a noted example of Greek Revival architecture in Georgia. According to the New Georgia Encyclopedia, he was "perhaps the most prominent architect of government buildings in the mid-twentieth century".
Biography
Early life
Abraham Thomas Bradbury was born in Atlanta, Georgia, on April 4, 1902, to Abraham Bradbury, a contractor, and Hannah Marco. As a young adult, Bradbury studied architecture at the Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech). From 1921 to 1923, while still a student, he worked for the Atlanta-based architectural firm of Robert and Company. In 1923, he completed his education at the school and received a certificate. Following this, he moved to Florida, following fellow architect John Llewellyn Skinner, who had served as the head of architecture at the school from 1923 to 1925 before moving to Florida. While Bradbury had hoped to establish an architectural practice in Miami, a hurricane in 1926 prevented him from doing so.
In 1927, Bradbury found work with the firm of Warren, Knight, and Davis in Birmingham, Alabama. By 1930, Bradbury was living in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but he returned to Atlanta in the early 1930s to study law. In 1933, he was admitted to the Georgia Bar Association. In 1934, he returned to work for Robert and Company, and in 1935 he worked for a short time with the firm Hentz, Adler & Schutze. During the mid-1930s, he cofounded the firm of Constantine and Bradbury, though this firm was dissolved in 1939. During this time, Bradbury designed the State Office Building, a government building located near the Georgia State Capitol. Throughout his career, Bradbury would work extensively on commissions for government buildings in the city. Also around this time, in 1936, Bradbury married Janette Lane, who was the chair of the board of trustees for the Atlanta Civic Ballet. Additionally, Lane had both a bachelor's and a master's degree in law. The couple would have three children: Janette Lane, Lynda Lane, and Thomas Lane. Bradbury would later remarry. In 1939, he established his own firm as A. Thomas Bradbury, Architect. Following a brief period in 1942 when the firm became Bradbury and Stockman, by 1943 the firm had been renamed to A. Thomas Bradbury and Associates.
Modernist architecture
Going into the 1940s, Bradbury was a strong embracer of modernist architecture, with many of his buildings from this period forward being built in that style. In 1954, Bradbury and Associates were contracted to design the Agriculture Building and the Law and Justice Building for the government of Georgia, with noted Georgia-based artist Julian Hoke Harris providing some sculptural ornamentation for the latter. Throughout the decade, his firm would design several more buildings for other governmental departments around the capitol in the modernist style, with a notable exception being the building for the Georgia Department of Transportation, which was built in a Bauhaus-inspired international style. From the 1950s through the 1960s, Bradbury designed six government buildings in the area, with their modernist style contrasting with the Beaux-Arts style of the capitol building. In 1957, he served as the lead architect for a renovation project to the capitol building itself. Discussing the style of these buildings, architecture critic Robert M. Craig stated that the "prevailing spirit" of the government buildings "was increasingly abstract, a faceless bureaucracy of officialdom deriving its architectural dress from a reduction of building form to colorless wall plane". Also during the 1950s, Bradbury pushed for changes to Georgia Tech's architectural department, specifically regarding its hiring of certain architectural firms. As a result, Bradbury became the lead architect behind several new projects at his alma mater, and in the following decades his firm would design academic buildings throughout the southeastern United States, arguably most notably the Georgia Mental Health Institute at Emory University.
Georgia Archives and the Georgia Governor's Mansion
Going into the 1960s, Bradbury would design two of his most notable works: a building for the Georgia Archives and a new Georgia Governor's Mansion. Bradbury began working on the former in 1962 as an extreme example of modernist architecture. The resulting building, completed in 1965, has been described by the New Georgia Encyclopedia as a "monumental box-on-pedestal". A 2011 article in Curbed Atlanta called the "monolithic building" a "modernist masterpiece", while architecture critic Robert M. Craig criticized the building and its overall box-shape as "an elemental form, but a boring one as well". On the other hand, the Georgia Governor's Mansion in Buckhead was designed in the Greek Revival style, modeled after the plantation house Tara from the film Gone with the Wind. The difference in architectural style from Bradbury's normal modernist style made him an odd choice for architect, and according to Curbed Atlanta, the archives building and mansion "present a fascinating dichotomy in architectural styles coming from one man". Work on the mansion lasted from 1964 to 1967.
Later life
In 1978, after 35 years of working through his own firm, Bradbury sold the firm and retired. He died in Atlanta on November 14, 1992.

It is about the automats once operated by Horn & Hardart. It features an original song by Mel Brooks. The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on September 2, 2021. It was released in the United States on February 18, 2022, by A Slice of Pie Productions.
Synopsis
Horn & Hardart, founded in 1888 by Joseph Horn and Frank Hardart, was noted for operating the first food service automats in Philadelphia and New York City. The restaurant chain was well known in the U.S. for serving food out of a vending machine for a nickel. The last New York Horn & Hardart Automat closed in April 1991.

Production
The documentary details the rise and fall of the Horn & Hardart automats. Director Lisa Hurwitz said she was inspired to create the documentary while sitting in an automat during her college days. The film features an original song titled "At the Automat" written and performed by Mel Brooks.
Release
The film premiered at the Telluride Film Festival on September 2, 2021. It was released in the United States on February 18, 2022, by A Slice of Pie Productions.
Reception
Box office
In the United States and Canada, the film earned $13,917 from the Film Forum theater in its opening weekend. It made $15,013 from three theaters in its second weekend.
Reception
The Hollywood Reporters Stephen Farber wrote, "Hurwitz supplements the talking heads with tasty archival footage and sharp graphics. Her film is sleek and unpretentious. It wins us over with humor and a pointed touch of melancholy." Varietys Owen Gleiberman said the film "taps into so many resonant aspects of what America used to be that to watch it is to be drawn into an enchanting and wistfully profound time-tripping reverie." Writing for The New York Observer, Rex Reed said it "gets to the core of the Automat's significance, cutting to the core of its social impact on New York and the changing world we live in." The New Yorkers Richard Brody said the best part of the film was "its blend of social and intellectual history with its anecdotal history—its evocation of the links between intention, practice, and experience; its depiction of a largely lost aesthetic of daily life."

70199673 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%20Mark%27s%20relics | St Mark's relics | St Mark's relics, the purported remains of Saint Mark the Evangelist, are held in St Mark's Basilica in Venice, Italy.
Venice
'Translatio'
The relics of Saint Mark are recorded in Venice as early as the ninth-century in both the will of Doge Giustiniano Participazio () and the travelogue of a Frankish monk on return from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. However, the oldest surviving written account of the , the transfer of the relics from Alexandria in Egypt to Venice, dates only to the eleventh century, although earlier writings evidently existed and were used as sources.
As narrated, a fleet of ten Venetian trading vessels seeks shelter in the Muslim-controlled city of Alexandria during a storm. This is said to be 'by the will of God'; hence there is no intentional violation of the edict of Emperor Leo V that forbids commercial contact with the Muslims. In Alexandria, two of the Venetian merchants, Buono da Malamocco (Metamaucum) and Rustico da Torcello, go daily to pray at the tomb of Saint Mark, located in a church near the port, and there, they make the acquaintance of Theodore and Stauracius, a priest and monk respectively. Theodore, fearful for the dwindling Christian community under Islamic rule, makes it known that the Caliph Al-Ma'mun has ordered the demolition of the church in order to recover building materials for new mosques, and it is suggested that the body of the saint be safely removed to Venice. To avoid raising suspicion, the body is first substituted with the remains of Saint Claudia, which are present in the church. The relics, placed into a basket and covered in pork, are then successfully smuggled past the Muslim customs officials and embarked on the Venetians' ship, which is preserved from shipwreck during the voyage by Saint Mark who appears and warns the sailors of the imminent danger. Other miracles occur, confirming the authenticity of the relics, until finally the ship arrives in Venice where the body is received by the Bishop of Olivolo and then taken in solemn procession to the Doge.
Independently of the pious inventions, the overall narration serves to justify the right of Venice to possess the relics. It simultaneously affirms the primacy of the Venetian church, the rightful successor of the Patriarchate of Aquileia, even over the ancient metropolitan see of Alexandria. As Buono and Rustico declare, evoking the tradition that Mark preached in northern Italy, the Venetians are the "first-born sons" () of the Evangelist. The translation of the relics to Venice is therefore a return of Mark to his rightful resting place.
Donald Nicol explained this act as "motivated as much by politics as by piety", and "a calculated stab at the pretensions of the Patriarchate of Aquileia." Instead of being used to adorn the church of Grado, which claimed to possess the throne of Saint Mark, it was kept secretly by Doge Giustiniano Participazio in his modest palace. Possession of Saint Mark's remains was, in Nicol's words, "the symbol not of the Patriarchate of Grado, nor of the bishopric of Olivolo, but of the city of Venice." In his will, Doge Giustiniano asked his widow to build a basilica dedicated to Saint Mark, which was erected between the palace and the chapel of Saint Theodore Stratelates, who until then had been patron saint of Venice.
'Praedestinatio'
With the (also ) the possession of Saint Mark's relics by Venice is further legitimized, in this case as the fulfillment of a divine plan. Traceable to Martino da Canal's thirteenth century , the legend in its definitive form narrates that Saint Mark, after his mission to northern Italy and the evangelization of Aquileia, returns to Rome. Passing through the Venetian Lagoon, he beaches his boat for the night, and he has a vision on the very site of the future city of Venice in which an angel appears, greeting him "Peace to you Mark, my Evangelist" (). A prophecy follows announcing that his body will one day find rest in Venice () and that it will be venerated by a virtuous and pious people who will build a glorious and eternal city.
'Inventio'
The (also ) confirms the special bond between Saint Mark and the Venetians. The legend concerns the rediscovery of the body at the time of the reconstruction of the church in the eleventh century. Although it is found no earlier than Martino da Canal's thirteenth-century , it may derive from the actual public exposition of Saint Mark's relics prior to their entombment in the new crypt. As narrated, the body of Saint Mark is hidden to prevent theft during work on the church, and after years all knowledge of its hiding place, known only to the Doge and a few trusted officials, is lost. Finally, after three days of fasting and prayer, an earthquake breaks open a pillar, revealing the body, which in later variations reaches out to the pious Venetians.
Alexandria
The Coptic church believes that the head of Saint Mark remains in a church named after him in Alexandria, and parts of his relics are in Saint Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral, Cairo. Every year, on the 30th day of the month of Paopi, the Coptic Orthodox Church celebrates the commemoration of the consecration of the church of Saint Mark, and the appearance of the head of the saint in the city of Alexandria. This takes place inside St Mark's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral in Alexandria.
In June 1968, Pope Cyril VI of Alexandria sent an official delegation to Rome to receive a relic of Saint Mark from Pope Paul VI. The delegation consisted of ten metropolitans and bishops, seven of whom were Coptic and three Ethiopian, and three prominent Coptic lay leaders.
The relic was said to be a small piece of bone that had been given to the Roman pope by Giovanni Cardinal Urbani, Patriarch of Venice. Pope Paul, in an address to the delegation, said that the rest of the relics of the saint remained in Venice.
The delegation received the relic on June 22, 1968. The next day, the delegation celebrated a pontifical liturgy in the Church of Saint Athanasius the Apostolic in Rome. The metropolitans, bishops, and priests of the delegation all served in the liturgy. Members of the Roman papal delegation, Copts who lived in Rome, newspaper and news agency reporters, and many foreign dignitaries attended the liturgy.

70199806 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022%20Ukrainian%20refugee%20crisis | 2022 Ukrainian refugee crisis | The 2022 Ukrainian refugee crisis is a large movement of people from Ukraine during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. It began with the initial invasion of Russian troops on 24 February 2022. Even before the invasion, several European countries were preparing to take in refugees.
Hundreds of thousands fled in the first few days after the attack. Most have found refuge in neighboring countries west of Ukraine: Poland, Hungary, Moldova, Romania and Slovakia. Many of those affected are seeking refuge in the homes of relatives who live abroad. The European Union and individual countries have announced that they will be open to Ukrainians so that refugees do not have to go through an asylum procedure. Railroad companies in several states such as Poland and Germany allow Ukrainian refugees to travel by train free of charge.
Legal
Officials of the European Union and individual states have discussed invoking the Temporary Protection Directive for the first time in its history so that the refugees do not have to go through the standard European Union asylum procedure. Railway companies in several countries, including Germany and Austria, are allowing Ukrainian refugees to travel by train for free.
Numbers
Figures on people fleeing Ukraine can change rapidly and are often only estimates. Travels from country to country are not necessarily registered officially. Ukrainians can travel to some countries in Europe without a visa. They may be allowed to stay in the country for an extended period, such as 90 days, without special permission. Elsewhere, they must apply for asylum. Moreover, crossing the border into a country does not mean that people will stay in that country (permanently).
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs estimated on 27 February that there will be 7.5 million domestic refugees in two months in Ukraine. 18 million people are affected by the conflict and 12 million people will need health help. Up to four million people are fleeing before the war.
At the United Nations Refugee Conference, on Sunday, 27 February 2022 it was announced that since the war over 368,000 people from Ukraine have fled. With more than 600,000 refugees believed to have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries as of 1 March 2022, the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) feared the situation could degenerate into "Europe's largest refugee crisis this century".
Accommodations and aid
The co-founder of Airbnb and two other officials sent letters to European leaders of nations that share a border with Ukraine offering the companies support in housing refugees temporarily. The scheme would be funded by donations made through the sites Refugee Fund and with support of hosts on the platform. Organizations such as UNICEF, the United Nations Refugee Agency, International Rescue Committee, United Ukrainian American Relief Committee and others began accepting monetary donations for helping refugees and those affected by the crisis. Others such as the Kyiv Independent began GoFundMe campaigns to raise money for specific causes or calls for physical items to be donated by an individual.
Countries
Belgium
Belgian State Secretary for Asylum and Migration Sammy Mahdi said on February 25, 2022, that Belgium stands in solidarity with Poland and Hungary. However, he called for Europe to coordinate the reception. Two days later, Development Minister Meryame Kitir announced that three million euros will be allocated for additional humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
Netherlands
Due to previous visa regulations with Ukraine, Ukrainians in search of safety can easily take the plane to the Netherlands and stay for three months. During this time, they basically have to find their own accommodation. Asylum centers are already "overcrowded." Moreover, Ukraine is still considered a safe country of origin, Petra Vissers summarized the legal situation on February 25. A further disadvantage for those affected, she said, is that life in the asylum center entails restrictions: there is an obligation to register, people cannot cook for themselves, and it is often difficult for children to attend school.
State Secretary for Migration Eric van der Burg said that the principle had always been emphasized that refugees should be received in their own region, if possible. "Now Europe is the region." At the time, 27 February, fewer than 50 refugees had arrived in the Netherlands from Ukraine.
Poland
As early as February 15, Poland was expecting a possible Russian attack. The government asked communities to prepare for up to a million refugees.
As of February 27, it was reported that more than 280,000 refugees had crossed the border into Poland. At the border crossing, non-European students from Ukrainian universities complained about "racist" unequal treatment.
Romania
Romanian media report that the first Ukrainians have reached the country. Romania can receive 500,000 refugees if necessary, Romanian Defense Minister Vasile Dîncu had announced on 22 February, 2022. Two days later the first refugees have arrived.
France
France "will take its part" in welcoming Ukrainian refugees: this announcement by Emmanuel Macron on Friday February 25, relayed by the mayors of metropolises and communities, was welcomed by associations of aid to migrants, even if they believe it is too early to assess needs.
Latvia
On 24 February, the Government of Latvia approved a contingency plan to receive and accommodate approximately 10,000 refugees from Ukraine, and two days later the first refugees, assisted by the Latvian Samaritan Association, began arriving. Several non-governmental organizations, municipalities, schools and institutions also pledged to provide accommodation. On 27 February, around 20 volunteer professional drivers departed to Lublin with donated supplies, bringing Ukrainian refugees to Latvia on their way back.
Slovakia
Since Saturday, February 26, 2022 at 6 a.m., the Slovakian police counted 12,400 refugees at the three border crossings with Ukraine. Passports were not required, anyone at the three border crossings is allowed to enter. About half came via Vyšné Nemecké. A day later, around 900 vehicles, nine buses and around 1,000 pedestrians are waiting in the afternoon. The waiting time is up to ten hours.
Switzerland
It is already possible for a Ukrainian citizen (with a biometric passport) to enter Switzerland without a visa. The length of stay is three months. Justice Minister Karin Keller-Sutter declared on 28 February that in future refugees without passports would be welcome too. Residence should no longer be limited in time. The federal government and the cantons will quickly provide accomodation for nine thousand people for refugees. According to SRF, all political parties are in favour of a quick admission of Ukrainian refugees.
Non-native Ukrainian population
Claims of unequal treatment by border guards and other authorities by non-native Ukrainian refugees were raised a few days into the crisis. Many foreigners claim to have been forced to the back of queues, with some alleging being beaten and clothing being torn by guards, however this is not a situation seen by all.
The Polish border police said that it helps all people fleeing Ukraine. Nationality does not matter. It is not true that Africans are being turned back for racist reasons. Representatives of Ghana and Somalia said they had no information about problems of their compatriots from Ukraine. The African Union, on the other hand, complained about related reports and called attempts to prevent Africans from crossing the border racist and not in line with international law.

entertainment, and nonprofit areas. The company is headquartered in Fountain Inn, SC, registered in the United States.
History
From William Chapman's Grandma's Secret potion for damaged or thinning hair, Chapman Products were launched in 1991.
The company was founded by husband and wife team William P. Chapman Jr. and Kimberly Chapman.
The couple initially worked to mix the ingredients and package the hair potion in an 800-square-foot building located near their Greenville home. CPC was created to fill the void of healthy hair care products in underserved or diverse communities.
While William Chapman works in the lab developing and refining products, Kim Chapman oversees staff and training along with other front-of-house duties. She has also contributed to product development, including a cradle cap remedy and hair serum.
Charitable Foundation

to those in need, and toys to the less fortunate. CFI's charitable gifts have reached over 250,000.00 annually (internationally).
Chapman Foundation was created to help stylists and barbers’ children attend school. It later grew to give to Historically black colleges and universities (HBCU).
The Chapman Foundation Scholarship Awards began as an initiative to assist the continuation of education for graduating high school students. William and Kimberly Chapman had the innate desire to give back to the community and to students that exemplify excellence. Since 1999, the foundation has awarded many scholarships. This has assisted graduating high school students in the pursuit of their dreams for a higher education and donated funding to many colleges. In 2017, a partnership was established with Urban League of the Upstate to support more students through these organizations. In addition, the Chapman Foundation maintains community outreach programs.
Operations
CPC manufactures, packages, and ships all of its products from its corporate headquarters located in Fountain Inn, SC. Sheen Magazine was founded by Kimberly Chapman in 2006, and has since grown into digital and social media. CPC manufactures hair and skincare products for Nairobi Professional, Congo Professional, Pamper, Kerafena Natural Hair Smoothing System, Grandma's Secret Potion, Affair Pro, and Akura Wellness Skincare.
In a 2020 interview, Black Enterprise talked to Kimberly Chapman about how the pandemic has affected her business and how being a Black woman entrepreneur allowed her to set her own standards to succeed in business. Mrs. Chapman was selected to become a member of the Black Doll Affair, appearing in Vogue Magazine.
The company was profiled in 2022 by television station WYFF for Black History Month.

It will take place on 5 March 2022, at Plough Lane, and contested by Chelsea and Manchester City.
Chelsea will make their third appearance in a League Cup final and their third consecutive appearance having won the previous two editions. Three-time winners Manchester City will contest their fifth League Cup final and their first since winning it in 2019, the last team to do so before Chelsea's back to back wins. It will be the first time the teams have met in a major cup final although they had previously met each other in three of the previous four League Cup knockout rounds at earlier stages.
Route to the final
Manchester City
In a change from previous years, teams competing in the UEFA Women's Champions League group stage were exempt from the League Cup group stage, earning a provisional bye to the quarter-finals. However, following their elimination during the second qualifying round at the hands of Real Madrid after the League Cup draw had been made, Manchester City were placed in the only remaining Northern region group with only four teams. It contained three WSL teams: Everton, Leicester City and Manchester United; as well as Championship side Durham. As a result of Manchester City no longer receiving a bye to the knockout stage, the best-placed runner up during the group stage would now also advance.
Despite a poor start to the WSL season, losing three of their opening five matches and sitting in 9th place, Manchester City opened their League Cup campaign with an emphatic 5–1 win over Everton who were struggling to gel following a heavy offseason of recruiting and investment. Caroline Weir had opened the scoring in the 8th minute and although Everton had equalised through Grace Clinton within a couple of minutes, Khadija Shaw had put City ahead before the halftime break. As Everton pressed forward in the second half in search of way back into the game, City capitalised as Lauren Hemp doubled City's leading before substitute Jess Park added a fourth and Ellen White saw her header fumbled into the goal by goalkeeper Courtney Brosnan in the final minute. The match was Willie Kirk's last game as Everton manager as he was sacked three days later. City once again struck early to open the scoring against Durham, this time through summer signing Filippa Angeldal in the 16th minute. The Championship side surrendered much of the possession to City who were denied a second goal with both Janine Beckie and Angeldal hitting the frame of the goal. Substitute Weir, on her 100th appearance for the club, finally managed to give City the cushion they were pushing for in the 87th minute, firing into the roof of the net from the edge of the Durham box. Beckie also got on the scoresheet in stoppage time as City ran out 3–0 winners. Having played out a thrilling 2–2 draw in the league the previous month, City traveled to Manchester United for the third group game. City's fast starts continue as Hayley Raso latched on to an early turnover, rolling the ball to Vicky Losada who fired the ball past Sophie Baggaley from the edge of the box with fewer than two minutes played. Despite controlling most of the opening exchanges, United managed to level on the half hour mark when goalkeeper Karima Benameur Taieb spilled the ball against her own body under pressure from Kirsty Hanson who knocked it back to Ivana Fuso to fire home from ten yards. With chances few and far between in a tighter second half, United broke the deadlock eight minutes from time when Ona Batlle broke down the wing to feed the ball to Alessia Russo in the box. The forward's shot was parried by Taieb and fell to Demi Stokes who was pickpocketed by Batlle before the Spaniard calmly stroked the ball into the net, sealing a 2–1 derby defeat for City. The final group game against Leicester City scheduled for 15 December 2021 was delayed due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the Manchester City squad. With all other games played, a victory over Everton had put United top of the group on nine points. City were three points behind with the delayed game still to play, although United were assured of a place in the knockout stage either as a group winner or as the best-placed runner up. City knew a win would send them top on goal difference while a win on penalties would send them through as the best second-placed team. However, opponents Leicester were also still alive as they could progress as runner-up if they won outright while a penalty shootout win for Leicester would see both teams miss out and instead send Group C runners-up Charlton Athletic through. The game was eventually played on 12 January 2022. Sitting bottom of the WSL, newly promoted Leicester had made a change of manager the previous month, bringing in Lydia Bedford who had guided the team to their first win of the season in the final game before the winter break. Despite the uptick in form, City blew a youthful Leicester side away as Bedford handed out five debuts including four academy players. For the third time in four group games, City led inside 10 minutes as Jess Park delivered a perfect cross for White to tap in. Hemp and Georgia Stanway both netted braces as City ran riot to punch their ticket to the knockout stage as group winner with a 5–0 win as teenage goalkeeper Khiara Keating kept a cleansheet on her senior debut.
Manchester City were drawn against Bristol City for the quarter-finals. Bristol had been beaten in last season's League Cup final and relegated in summer. At the time of their visit to the Academy Stadium, Bristol were 5th in the Championship as they struggled with consistency in their bid to return to the WSL at the first time of asking but had topped Group D including a 1–0 win over top-flight side Reading. Chelsea loanee Aggie Beever-Jones gave Bristol the early lead against the run of play, riding a Lucy Bronze challenge to drive into the City penalty area and pulling the ball back to force Alex Greenwood into a lunging block, turning the ball past Keating and into her own net. City's dominance was eventually rewarded through Shaw with the Jamaican twisting her way through the Bristol defence for the equaliser before latching on to the end of a Bronze cross to give City the lead a minute before halftime. A second half mix up between defender and goalkeeper gifted Losada a tap in as City kept control of the tie, seeing out a 3–1 win. For the semi-finals, City received another home tie, this time against surprise WSL top-three challengers Tottenham Hotspur. Having won three out of three including an 11–0 win against Watford during the group stage, Spurs had edged a 1–0 win over Championship leaders Liverpool to reach the semi-finals for the first time. City controlled the game from the start and tested Rebecca Spencer's goal early via Hemp and Shaw but were handed a warning when Jessica Naz dispossessed Keira Walsh to set up a one on one with the keeper only to drag it wide of the returning Ellie Roebuck's post. But for that chance, it was one-way traffic as Park eventually broke the deadlock with an enterprising dribble into the box capped by a deft far post finish before setting up Shaw for a tap in to double City's first-half lead. Bronze rattled the post from a corner before Hemp blazed over the rebound as City's refused to relent in the second half, finding a third goal in the 70th minute as Hemp rose highset to head home at the back post from Park's clipped cross and seal a comfortable 3–0 win.
Chelsea
In a change from previous years, teams competing in the UEFA Women's Champions League group stage were exempt from the League Cup group stage. Because Chelsea won the 2020–21 FA WSL title, they did not have to go through qualifying and were automatically entered into the Champions League group stage, subsequently giving them a bye to the knockout stage of the League Cup. As a result, Chelsea would only need to play two games to reach the final.
Entering at the quarter-final stage, Chelsea were drawn away to West Ham United for the opening game of their League Cup defence. West Ham had topped a group of Birmingham City, Brighton & Hove Albion and London City Lionesses, winning all three games without conceding. It was the first meeting of the season between the teams having had their league game in December postponed following a COVID-19 outbreak in the Chelsea squad. It was also the first game Chelsea had played after the winter break having had two league games postponed due to COVID outbreaks at both Chelsea and Everton. Pernille Harder gave Chelsea a 25th-minute lead when Jessie Fleming sprang Fran Kirby on the counter with West Ham committing players forward to attack a freekick. Having carried the ball from the halfway line, Kirby squared the ball to Harder who picked her spot past Anna Leat unchallenged. A wide open game, the teams went in at the break level when Kateřina Svitková received the ball on the left side of the box before cutting back inside on her right foot and shooting, catching a wrong-footed Ann-Katrin Berger off guard. Chelsea ramped up the intensity to begin the second half, retaking the lead from a 58th minute Erin Cuthbert header. Within eight minutes, West Ham had gone from level pegging to three goals down as Harder completed her hattrick, first by reacting quickest to the rebound as Leat parried a fizzing Kirby shot and then by cushioning a header back across goal and into the side netting. Not disheartened by the sudden deficit, West Ham battled back and scored a late concilation go through substitute Halle Houssein on her West Ham debut as Chelsea won 4–2. For the semi-final, Chelsea were drawn at home to Manchester United having handed them a bruising 6–1 WSL defeat in their only other previous meeting of the season. Chelsea won 3–1 with all four goals coming in a 13-minute flurry. Harder again opened the scoring, racing on to a long through ball as the United defence was caught napping. Fleming doubled the lead five minutes later reacting to a deflection to head the ball into the ground and looping over Sophie Baggaley. Some slick interplay between Jackie Groenen and Vilde Bøe Risa sliced open the Chelsea defence as the Norwegian halved the deficit just one minute later but the two goal cushion was restored shortly after when Jess Carter made a tearing near post run to cut infront of Aoife Mannion and turn the ball in. Chelsea held United at bay in the second half before Baggaley saw a straight red card in the 77th minute for clearing out an onrushing Sam Kerr 30 yards from goal. After the game United manager Marc Skinner lamented the suspensions of two key players, Ella Toone and Hayley Ladd, who were both missing for accumulating two yellow cards during their five-game run to the semi-finals while Chelsea had only previously played one game in the competition, suggesting the rules should be changed for future seasons.

In 2020 Nasiliu.net offered consultations to 960 victims of domestic violence at their premises.
In December 2020 the Russian Justice Ministry declared Nasiliu.net to be a 'foreign agent'. In February 2021 the Justice Ministry threatened to dissolve the group entirely, alleging charter violations. That month Nasiliu.net received an unsigned demand, allegedly from the Federal Agency for State Property Management, to "urgently vacate the premises voluntarily".Their landlord subsequently showed up and told them that they needed to vacate the premises. In March 2021 the group's legal challenge to its foreign agent status was refused by the Zamoskvoretsky Court. In April 2021 a Russian court fined the organization 300,000 roubles for infringing the foreign agent legislation.
In August 2021 the group announced it would provide emergency accommodation in Moscow hotels and hostels for victims of domestic violence.

70200320 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranunculus%20tripartitus | Ranunculus tripartitus | Ranunculus tripartitus, three-lobed crowfoot, is a species of flowering plant in the family Ranunculaceae, which grows in pools and muddy hollows in coastal parts of Europe, North Africa and West Asia. It is rare and endangered throughout its range, and is considered to be an indicator of favourable environmental conditions.
Description
Ranunculus tripartitus is a procumbent annual to perennial herbaceous plant that grows in shallow water and on exposed mud or peat. Under water it has finely divided, thread-like submerged (capillary) leaves. Floating on the surface, or growing on exposed mud, it has flat, deeply-lobed laminar leaves. Sometimes both leaf shapes are present on the same plant, but intermediate leaves are rare. The laminar leaves are reniform overall, divided more than half-way into three (rarely 5) lobes which are broadest towards the tip, and which are themselves shallowly indented (crenate) at the end. They are 0.5 - 1.5 cm across, with the middle lobe narrower than the side ones. The submerged leaves are 1 - 4 cm long, divided up to 5 times, with sometimes as many as 90 terminal segments. The leaves are opposite or alternate along stems that can be up to 50 cm long, with small stipules at the base of the petiole, which can be between 1 and 10 mm long. The stems and leaves are glabrous (hairless).
The actinomorphic flowers are borne singly on long stalks (pedicels) from the leaf axils. Each flower has 5 petals and 5 sepals. The petals are white with a yellow patch towards to base, up to 4.5 mm long, and there is a small space between them. Towards the base of each petal is a small crescent-shaped nectar pit. The sepals are up to 3 mm long, green with a blue tip, and recurved towards the flower stalk. There are 5 - 8 stamens and numerous (more than 6) carpels. The receptacle is hairy. The fruits are hairless and, as they develop, the pedicel becomes recurved.
Taxonomy
Ranunculus tripartitus is included in the taxonomically difficult subgenus (or "section") Batrachium of the buttercup family, which includes all the water-crowfoots. They are aquatic or amphibious species, with white petals, transversely ridged achenes (fruits), and stipules at the base of the leaf stalk. It can be separated from other members of the section by the three-lobed laminar leaves, the petals being about twice as long as the sepals and not contiguous, the reflexed pedicel and the hairy receptacle.
It was described by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle in 1808. The type specimen, which was thought to be in Paris, is missing, so the plate and description in de Candolle's "Icones Plantarum" has been designated a typotype. Ranunculus petiveri W.D.J. Koch, which was later found in Germany, and Batrachium lutarium Revel (France) are considered to be the same species.
There are no subspecies of R. tripartitus, but it does form hybrids with other species in the section, including R. omiophyllus (=R. × novae-forestae S.D. Webster) (which is only known in Britain); common water-crowfoot (also only in Britain); and R. ololeucos (= R. × felixii Segret) (only in France). A key feature for the identification of hybrids is the presence of leaves that are intermediate between the capillary and laminar forms; such plants are also sterile.
The chromosome number of R. tripartitus is 2n = 48.
Distribution
This is primarily a European plant, although it has been reported as far east as Turkey and as far south as Morocco, so it is perhaps present on three continents. Owing to the difficulty of identifying species in the section Batrachium, there is some uncertainty about its range. For example, the Turkish plants were recorded as R. kastamonuensis. It may occur on the Aegean Islands, but this is also unconfirmed.
In all parts of its range, R. tripartitus is considered to be rare and possibly endangered.
In Britain, it was first recorded (as R. innominatus) by C.C. Babington in 1848, "near Claremont House, Surrey", an area now known as Esher Commons. It still occurs in this part of the country. The other main populations in Britain are in the heaths of Sussex and Kent, the New Forest, the Lizard peninsula, Pembrokeshire and Anglesey. Because populations fluctuate dramatically, it is difficult to assess its conservation status. In 1962 it was thought to be present in 28 places (10 x 10 km squares) on the map. This had shrunk to 19 by 1987, as low as 10 by 1999, and back up to 27 by 2002. Given a Change Index of -1.09, it narrowly missed being classed as one of the 100 least successful plants in the British Isles.
Ecology
The habitat of R. tripartitus is in shallow pools and muddy hollows in heathland. It requires high levels of moisture and light, and low levels of nutrients. In Britain it is considered an axiophyte wherever it occurs, and it has been described as a useful bioindicator in the Mediterranean region. In the Doñana National Park in Spain, it is found in species-rich ponds of special conservation value.
Although it is typically found in coastal areas, it is not tolerant of saline conditions. Its Ellenberg values in Britain are L = 9, F = 10, R = 6, N = 3, and S = 0.
Disturbance, such as trampling and grazing by livestock, is an important factor in its conservation.
It is mainly a lowland plant, recorded only as high as 300 m in Britain, at Belstone in Devon (by William Keble Martin in 1934).

70200400 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre%20Singaravelou | Pierre Singaravelou | Pierre Singaravélou (born 18 January 1977) is a French Global historian who is a British Academy Global Professor of History at King’s College London. He is also full Professor of Modern History at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University and director of the Center for Asian History (Sorbonne). Professor Singaravélou is the former director of the Sorbonne University Press and an honorary fellow of the Institut universitaire de France (IUF, Academic Institute of France).
Career
From 2009 to 2014, he was senior lecturer at the Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University (Sorbonne) in the Department of history, and also taught at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. He then became a Fellow at the Institut universitaire de France (IUF, Academic Institute of France) from 2013 to 2018. As of 2015, he is full professor of modern history at the Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University. At the same time, he was appointed director of the Sorbonne University Press from 2015 to 2019. He is currently British Academy Global Professor at King’s College London.
Research
Pierre Singaravélou specialises in the modern period and has written extensively on global history and the history of colonial empires.
He is the author of several books, TV Documentaries and international exhibitions in French, English and Spanish. His particular focus has been on the ways in which empires exploit, adapt to, and are often disrupted by global movements. His works show how Globalisation was decisively shaped by nineteenth-century imperialism.
He is co-editor of Monde(s), French journal of Global history and the founding editor of the book series “histoire-monde”.
He occasionally writes op-eds for the French newspaper Le Monde and Libération’'.
Social Sciences in Colonial Context
Singaravélou began his research by proposing a social and political history of French Orientalism in Asia from the end of the 19th century to the 1950s. In his first book on the French School of the Far East, he demonstrated both the continuing archaeological predations in Indochina and the decisive role of asian intellectuals in the elaboration of knowledge. Then Pierre Singaravélou brought together the social and intellectual history ion the social sciences with imperial history. His book Professing Empire, he understood the ways in which French academic culture interacted with colonial expansion, through the institutionalisation of the colonial sciences between 1880 and 1940.
Counterfactual Thinking
In his book, written with Q. Deluermoz and published by Yale University Press in 2021, Pierre Singaravélou examines counterfactual history, futures past, and alternate histories of the future. ‘A Past of Possibilities. A History of What Could Have Been’ explores the limits and potentials of counterfactual thinking, providing a survey of its uses, methodological issues on the possible in history and social sciences, and practical proposals for using counterfactual history in research and the wider public.
Imperial Globalisation in China
His book Tianjin Cosmopolis (2017) is focused on a short period of time, between 1900 and 1902, when an international government took over the Chinese city of Tianjin.
Singaravélou studies also the establishment of nine imperial powers in the city and its agglomeration, in the form of foreign concessions, which quickly became, under the modernising influence of Chinese elites, a unique place for interaction between natives and foreigners. His work shows how part of the Chinese elites were able to meet the challenges of internationalisation at the end of the nineteenth-century.
France in the World
Pierre Singaravélou was one of the coordinators of France in the World. A New Global History published in 2017 under the direction of Patrick Boucheron. The book was released during the French presidential election and became a best-seller in France. The authors were attacked by Eric Zemmour and far-right intellectuals. This work had a great influence in almost all European countries where historians explicitly draw on this French book to propose their own version : Italy (Storia mondiale dell’Italia), Sicily (Storia mondiale della Sicilia), Netherlands (Wereldgeschiedenis van Nederland), Flanders (Wereldgeschiedenis van Vlaanderen), Spain (Historia mundial de España), Catalonia (Història mundial de Catalunya) and Germany (Deutschland. Globalgeschichte einer Nation).

History
WUIV signed on in March 1981. The station switched from soft rock by Olivia Newton-John, John Denver and Glen Campbell to gospel music on February 21, 1983. Jim Jacumin of Rutherford College, North Carolina was the primary owner. The gospel format included Southern gospel with quartets, harmony and piano, and contemporary gospel by artists such as Bob Dylan. The station was still losing money despite having more than twice as many advertisers, but over 2000 people signed petitions to make sure the new format stayed. Many listeners were shut-ins but there were also young people.
