Cristina Chapuli

Cristina Chapuli Egido (born 18 January 1975) is a retired Spanish rhythmic gymnast. She was World champion in 1991. The generation of gymnasts that she was part of is known by the nickname "Primeras Chicas de Oro". Biography Cristina started her sport career at the Club Atlético Montemar in her native Alicante, a club that saw the rise of other prominent gymnasts such as Carolina Pascual, Marta Baldó and Estela Giménez. In 1989 she was called up by the Spanish national team to join the junior group, trained by Rosa Menor, Paqui Maneus, Cathy Xaudaró and Berta Veiga. In the Junior European Championships in Tenerife, the group made up of Carmen Acedo, Noelia Fernández, Ruth Goñi, Eider Mendizábal, Montserrat Martín and Gemma Royo, with Cristina and Diana Martín as substitutes, won bronze in the group All-Around. In late 1989 she was incorporated into the senior group, training about eight hours a day at the Moscardó Gymnasium in Madrid under the direction of Emilia Boneva and Ana Roncero, who since 1982 had been national group coach and head coach. She would also live with all the members of the team in a house in La Moraleja. In 1990 Chapuli would be a substitute gymnast for the team, remaining in Madrid training as she was not called to competitions such as the European Championships or the World Cup. Of the four substitutes in the team that year, only two could travel to the competitions. The starting team that year was Beatriz Barral, Lorea Elso, Teresa Fuster, Montserrat Martín, Arancha Marty and Vanesa Muñiz, with Marta Aberturas and Gemma Royo being substitutes. Débora Alonso was also part of the team, but like Cristina she was not called to the competitions that year. In 1991 she a substitute gymnast, the two exercises for groups were six ribbons for the single-apparatus exercise and three balls and three ropes for the mixed-apparatus one. Their ribbon exercise used "Tango Jalousie", composed by Jacob Gade, for the music, while their mixed-apparatus one used the song "Campanas" by Víctor Bombi. To choreograph the dance steps of the six ribbons exercise, they had the help of Javier "Poty" Castillo, then a dancer with the National Ballet, although the team's usual choreographer was the Bulgarian Georgi Neykov. Before the World Championships, they won gold at the Karlsruhe tournament (ahead of the Soviet Union and Bulgaria) and three bronzes at the Gymnastic Masters in Stuttgart. On 12 October 1991, the Spanish team (consisting of Montserrat Martín, Débora Alonso, Isabel Gómez Pérez, Lorea Elso, Teresa Fuster and Gemma Royo, with Cristina and Marta Aberturas as the substitutes) won gold in the all-around at the World Championships in Athens. This medal was described by the media as historic, since it was the first time that Spain had won the World Championship in rhythmic gymnastics. The next day, they would also win silver in both of the two apparatus finals. After this achievement, at the end of 1991 they would tour in Switzerland. She retired at the end of the year. After Boneva's death on 20 September 2019, Cristina and other former national gymnasts gathered to pay tribute to her during the Euskalgym held on 16 November 2019. The event took place before 8,500 attendees at the Bilbao Exhibition Center de Baracaldo and was followed by a dinner in Boneva's honor. Legacy and influence The national rhythmic gymnastics group of 1991 won the first world title for Spanish rhythmic gymnastics at the World Championships in Athens. It was the first time a rhythmic gymnastics team from a Western country had prevailed over those from Eastern European countries. Reviews of this milestone appear in books such as Gimnasia rítmica deportiva: aspectos y evolución (1995) by Aurora Fernández del Valle, Enredando en la memoria (2015) by Paloma del Río and Pinceladas de rítmica (2017) by Montse and Manel Martín.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jom%20or%20the%20History%20of%20a%20people

Jom or the History of a people

Jom (or The History of a People) is a 1982 Senegalese color film by Ababacar Samb Makharam. Synopsis Jom is the source of all virtues: dignity, courage, a certain beauty of gesture, loyalty to commitment, respect for others and for oneself. The embodiment of African memory, Khaly the griot spans the ages to bear witness to the extent to which the Jom is at the root of resistance to oppression: a resistance that pits the colonizer against the enslaved people, the master against the servant, the factory owner against the workers. Plot In a deprived neighborhood, Gramimina vents her anger on her painter husband, for he fails to cover the household expenses. Another woman kicks her husband out for the same motives. A man enters and sparks his wife's (Aminata Fall) fury because he spent the night outside the house. During a meal, the griot Khaly says to a young audience, “My word is a maxim. It resembles an elastic band that stretches without snapping. It is an absolute and eternal truth.” As he addresses Madjeumbe, he shows him a photo of the head of a black person held at the end of a pick by a settler: “I question the past without ever answering”. As the images show a garden where women, adorned with bright colors, are on their way to a reception for the colony's commander, he states that everyone had two paths since the end of freedom. They either collaborate and maintain relations with the foreigner, or choose the path of refusal and preserve their jom. The commander is found in a hut where Dieri, child of Queen Dior Fall, is waiting for him, seated cross-legged. Khaly offers him a white coat “each fiber of which is a part of our people,” as well as a pistol. The women greet Dieri and encourage him to defend their honor. The elders arrive and do as the women, pointing out that separation is the consequence of any union. Dieri, who confirms that “the time to leave is the time to die”, goes to the headquarters of the colonial rulers and climbs alone into the office of a commander who calls him a troublemaker. Dieri refuses to cooperate, opposing the officer who tries to restrain him. Hearing gunfire, his friend Sarithie rushes in and the two of them kill the French and Senegalese soldiers before fleeing. Dieri offers Sarithie his sword. The griot Khaly praises his accomplishment. As he is followed into a baobab forest by the French-subjugated Prince Canar Fall, Dieri prefers to stab himself rather than be taken prisoner. Khaly says he defies death and transcends the ages, “as an eternal author, I take hold of History.” He is back in front of his dinner audience to affirm that his song is full of emotion and imagination. Madjeumbe joins his father in his jewelry workshop and tells him how his boss divides the workers. His father urges him to maintain his solidarity and not give in. At a union meeting, the workers disagree over whether or not to go back to work. Madjeumbe calms them down and encourages them to return to work only if the dismissed workers are reinstated. The workers vote on continuing the strike. Khaly introduces Madjeumbe as Dieri's spiritual son. In the neighborhood shown at the beginning of the film, a woman receives a letter for school fees. At school, the principal sympathizes with her difficulties. The factory manager, Mister Diop, offers the trade unionists a special raise, which infuriates Madjeumbe because the workers’ situation does not change. Their boss offers a trade unionist 4,000 French francs to encourage them to return to work. When the trade unionist arrives home, he offers some money to his wife and his mother, who refuse them, accusing him of treason. The manager goes to meet Madjeumbe's wife and gives her money “for the children”, but she becomes suspicious and refuses to accept it. He also goes to the workshop of Madjeumbe's father and gives him money to set his son straight. The father also returns the money. In a posh villa, the patroness of the house berates and scorns a servant. Khaly visits her husband, who asks her to host a traditional party. “I was born a griot and I live by it”, Khaly replies, but “I only tell beautiful and majestic tales”. He then tells the story of a drought that pushes people to flee from the country to the city. We witness their migration and the animals dying of thirst. The griot warns them that they are about to face the most difficult challenge of all: man, their fellow human being. When they arrive in Saint-Louis in Senegal, Khaly encourages them to come and welcome the great dancer Koura Thiaw. The woman who hosts him also mistreats her servants. During her fiery performance before a large crowd in a street adorned with the French flag, the dancer urges her to “leave the maids of Walo in peace”, reminding her that domestic work does not mean slavery. Freeze frame: Khaly proclaims that Koura Thiaw “restores dignity to the humiliated, and since then her song of revolt has been on everyone's lips every time the sun rises”. While the bribed unionist encourages the workers to go back to work, Madjeumbe objects, but the group splits in two. The women arrive, including Madjeumbe's wife and the wife of the corrupt unionist. Another unionist believes in going on strike but not preventing others from working. The women overpower him and chase away the strikebreakers. Khaly sings their praises in a final psalmody on the jom.

The final version is the fourth. It was produced with a mixed team of Western and African technicians, and a cast of professional and amateur actors including Oumar Seck and Isseu Niang from Théâtre national Daniel Sorano in Dakar. The musical score is by the renowned Senegalese musician and composer Lamine Konte. The budget of 60 million FCFA was partly financed by a loan from the Senegalese government. The production of the film took four years due to a chronic lack of funds, and the director found himself 50 million in debt. In 1982, the film was screened out of competition at the Semaine de la critique of the Cannes Film Festival, and was screened at the Paris International Third World Film Festival, as well as at the Mogadishu Pan-African and Arab Film Festival (Mogpaafis). Reception Some critics are bothered by the film's didactic aspect. Férid Boughedir went so far as to call it an “honorable failure”. Louis Marcorelles has a more positiveopinion: “It deploys the tones and relationships of color and light with infinite gentleness, like a story that sketches and dawdles, without ever wanting to prove anything”. As for Paulo Antonio Paranagua, he praises the plastic beauty of Jom and the human warmth stemming from the griot and the lively, energetic female characters. An American critic went so far as to compare Jom to Brazilian cinema novo, as a “political-aesthetic manifesto”. Awards Prix du jury catholique international at the 8th FESPACO, 1983. Grand prix of the Festival du nouveau cinéma de Montréal, 1983. Analysis Jom or the History of a people is one of the few Senegalese films to show social movements or protests. It is also one of the films in which the oral tradition breaks with realism. The first part of the film is based on the story of Dieri Dior Ndella, a legendary prince from the early twentieth century who had to kill a French colonial officer to save his honor. He is ambushed by Canar Fall, who also belongs to Senegal's feudal aristocracy. Ababacar Samb Makharam mentions that he favored American shots and close-ups to establish a link between the characters and the viewers, without seeking to link them to nature as in most films of that era, while respecting the African rhythm in storytelling, dialogue and behavior. Likewise, he avoided field-contradiction. See also Cinema of Senegal References 1982 films Films shot in Senegal

Euterpe (magazine)

Euterpe was a weekly music, theatre and literary magazine which appeared in Helsinki between 1900 and 1905. It was the first Swedish-language music-oriented magazine published in Finland. Its subtitle was Veckotidskrift for musik, teater och skönlitteratur (). History and profile Euterpe was first published in 1900 to report the recent developments in European art and philosophy to the readers living in Finland and Sweden. The magazine was headquartered in Helsinki. It was a publication of the Swedish-speaking Finnish intellectuals such as Emil Hasselblatt, Werner Söderhjelm and Jean Sibelius. The magazine had a European orientation, being close to the French thought. Euterpe came out weekly and featured articles on music, theatre and literature written in Swedish. However, in the first two years the magazine exclusively contained articles on music with a special reference to romanticism and introduced the new generation of Nordic composers, including Carl Nielsen. Later its focus on music decreased, and in its last year the magazine did not cover any music-related article. It was one of rare publications in Finland which included articles on the Dreyfus affair. The last issue of Euterpe appeared on 31 December 1905. It was succeeded by another Swedish magazine entitled Finsk Musikrevy ().

This film was shot in Bangkok, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Singapore for about twenty days. This film marked Chiranjeevi's first film shot outside of India. Although both Ranganath and Chiranjeevi's roles were given equal importance to the media during shooting, the film was promoted as a Chiranjeevi film prior to release due to his craze at the time post the success of Punnami Naagu (1980).

Abner E. Sprague

Abner E. Sprague (March 28, 1850 – December 27, 1943), born in Illinois, was a pioneer of Larimer County, Colorado, arriving in the Colorado Territory at the age of 14. He grew up in the Big Thompson Valley and settled in Estes Park and Loveland. He was an explorer, surveyor, mountaineer, civil engineer, innkeeper, rancher, and author. Most of his adult life was spent operating Sprague Hotel and Sprague Lodge outside of Estes Park. He built roads, brought in water and electicity for Sprague Lodge, and acted as a mountain guide for his visitors. Sprague Hotel, on Sprague's ranch, was called a dude ranch. His works include Reminiscence of a pioneer and My Pioneer Life: The Memoirs of Abner E. Sprague. He contributed to Enos Mills' The story of Estes Park and a guide book. Sprague Lake, Sprague Mountain, and Sprague Pass in Rocky Mountain National Park were named after Sprague. Enos Mills named Sprague Glacier. Early life Abner E. Sprague, the son of Thomas Sprague, was born in Dundee, Illinois on March 28, 1850. He had a brother Fred and sister Arab. Ten years after his birth, his father came to the Colorado Territory. Abner followed with an ox team in July 1864 and lived and was educated in the Big Thompson Valley in Larimer County, Colorado, near the border with Weld County. The family settled near Loveland. His father served in the legislature for the territory. In 1868, Spraque traveled on horseback for ten days with two friends in the Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park area. They visited Rattlesnake Park (now Pinewood Lake), Quillan Gulch, Little Elk Park, Muggins Gulch, and Park Hill. They spent a night in the cabin of Dave Likins, who settled near Quillan Gulch and the Little Thompson River drainage. In 1872, he returned to the area that would become Estes Park with a group of men and women who traveled on horseback and three wagons. They passed by Griff Evans' cabin and camped at the foot of Prospect Mountain. In July 1874, Sprague and Alson Chapman rode horseback on a two-week trek of rain and high winds up to Wind River and to the foot of Longs Peak, which he climbed for the first time. Innkeeper and civil engineer In 1875, Sprague homesteaded and built a cabin in Willow Park, now Moraine Park near Estes Park, and operated a sawmill and ranch. He, and his friend Clarence Chubbuck who homesteaded at the same time as Sprague, were among the first settlers in the area. Before they could build their cabins, the men went to Loveland for spring roundup and Chubbuck was shot and killed. Sprague took over Chubbuck's homesteading claim. Sprague's parents and siblings moved to Moraine Park with him. The Earl of Dunraven of Ireland bought thousands of acres of land, streams, and springs in the area of present-day Estes Park. Among his aspiration, Dunraven wanted to use the land as a cattle ranch and private hunting grounds. As settlers moved into the area, they built fences to keep Dunraven's workers from driving livestock onto their land. The fences were torn down, though, and cattle were driven over the settlers land. Theodore Whyte, Dunraven's manager and agent, tried to force Sprague to leave, driving Dunhaven's cattle onto Sprague's land. Sprague and his shepherd dogs foiled Whyte's attempts twice and talked to the man in person, which ended the conflict. After forming a group of likeminded settlers to oppose Dunraven, the assembly challenged the Irishman's ownership of the land. Sprague and Horace W. Ferguson built the Sprague–Ferguson Sawmill camp to cut Spruce and Douglas Fir shingles at Bierstadt Lake in the Mill Creek Basin beginning in the winter of 1876. To get to the camp, they built a "rough wagon road" to the camp from Hollowell Park. Beginning in 1876, the Spragues entertained tourists. Sprague served food to travelers and later built additional cabins as lodging for tourists on his dude ranch. Sprague made most of his income from tourists, so he built a large lodge there, called Sprague Hotel, and, by 1887, trails over the mountain. Guests were transported by Sprague's brother Fred and his business. Sprague and his brother Fred were guides. In 1879, Sprague guided William L. Hallett and his bride on a 30-day journey from Estes Park to Grand Lake. Sprague was a surveyor in Nebraska for the Missouri Pacific Railroad in the 1880s. At some point, he trained to be a civil engineer. After he completed his work in Nebraska, Sprague worked in Colorado for the Union Pacific Railroad as an assistant civil engineer. In 1902, Sprague and his wife Mary Alberta partnered with J.D. Stead and his wife, providing lodging for up to 100 people. Two years later, the Steads bought the ranch, lodge, and cabins. Sprague and his wife moved to Loveland in 1904. He worked as a surveyor, civil engineer, and rancher in Loveland. He surveyed for the town of Estes Park in 1905. In Larimer County, Colorado, he served as the county surveyor for three terms. He was instrumental in the growth of the city of Estes Park and the Rocky Mountain National Park. In 1908, he and his wife built a summer cabin in Glacier Basin (now in Rocky Mountain National Park) and two years later built a road to Glacier Basin from Tuxedo Park, which is now part of Bear Lake Road. In 1910 or 1914, Sprague built Sprague Lake, Cabin Lake (no longer in existence), and Sprague Lodge. He stocked the lakes with trout. He constructed pipes that brought in water from Boulder Brook and electricity from a hydroelectric plant west of the lodge from Glacier Creek. Sprague and Enos Mills printed tourist maps of the Estes Park area. Sprague added cabins to the property. His nephew and adopted child, Edgar Stopher, operated Sprague Lodge from 1939 to 1962. The site is now part of the Rocky Mountain National Park. On the 50th anniversary of his first ascent up Longs Peak, Sprague climbed it once again. Sprague wrote: Personal life Sprague met Mary Alberta Morrison when he worked in Nebraska for the Missouri Pacific Railroad as a surveyor in the 1880s. On December 20, 1888, Sprague married Morrison at Hickman, Nebraska. After their marriage, the couple lived in the Moraine Park area near Estes Park that he homesteaded. They did not have any children, but they took in Mary's sister's children, Alberta and Edgar Stopher. Sprague was a member of the Society of Colorado Pioneers and the Rotary International. He collected insects and he donated his collection a few weeks before his death to the Colorado Museum of Natural History. In their later years, Sprague and his wife built a house in Estes Park. Intending to spend the winter in Denver, at the Brown Palace Hotel, Sprague became ill. Two days later, he died on December 27, 1943, at Denver's Presbyterian Hospital. Legacy Places in Rocky Mountain National Park named for Sprague, Sprague Lake was named for Sprague Sprague Mountain Sprague Pass Enos Mills named Sprague Glacier of Rocky Mountain National Park.

Louise Jama-van Raders

Louisa Elisabeth Hermine Jama-van Raders (Batavia, 2 March 1871 – The Hague, 24 April 1946) was a Dutch portrait painter. Life and work Louise van Raders was born in the Dutch East Indies, the daughter of Willem Herman Frederik Hendrik van Raders (1827–1889), director of Public Works in Batavia, and Jeanne Madelaine Prins (1842–1918). In September 1879, the Van Raders family moved to Zutphen. After her father was appointed director of the Dutch-Indian Railway Company (1882) and the Java Railway Company (1883), the family moved to The Hague in 1885. Van Raders was educated at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague (c. 1896 – 1900) as a pupil of Frits Jansen and took anatomy classes with Louis Bolk in Amsterdam. She then studied in Munich, where she met the painter Matija Jama (1872–1947). He would become one of the important early-20th-century Slovenian impressionists alongside Rihard Jakopič and Ivan Grohar. Van Raders and Jama married in 1902. Three children were born from this marriage, including composer Agnes Jama (1911–1993). The couple participated in several Slovenian art exhibitions. The Jama family lived in Croatia, Germany and Austria, among other places, until they moved to The Hague in 1915 because of World War I. That year, Jama-van Raders exhibited paintings and drawings with Constance de Nerée tot Babberich and Willemien Testas at Pictura gallery in The Hague and de Vries gallery in Arnhem. Due to a lack of income, the couple opened a boarding house in The Hague in 1920.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History%20of%20agriculture%20in%20Palestine

History of agriculture in Palestine

The history of agriculture in Palestine dates back to 8000 BCE and some of the earliest agricultural settlements in the world. Several of the crops grown by the earliest famers continued to be important throughout the long history of Palestinian agriculture. In the 19th century CE the Ottoman Empire discouraged, with limited success, the long-standing communal land system called musha'a practiced by the Palestinian Arab farmers living in the highlands. Wheat and barley were their most important crops and were grown primarily for subsistence rather than the commercial market. Olives are an important traditional crop. In the late 19th century Palestinians began to grow commercial and export crops such as citrus in the lowlands near the Mediterranean Sea coast. Large landowners, both resident and non-resident, owned a large part of the land, especially near the coast. Jewish immigrants, with financing and technical assistance from abroad, began to purchase land and establish agricultural settlements in the coastal area of Palestine beginning in 1882. Jewish farmers focused on producing commercial and export crops such as vegetables and citrus. By 1941, Jews owned 24.5 percent of the cultivated land in Palestine. Most Palestinian Arabs continued to live in the highlands and practice subsistence agriculture. The partition of Palestine into the country of Israel and the Palestinian territories in 1947–1948 resulted in a war in which most Palestinian farmers living in Israel were dispossessed of their land which was subsequently farmed by Israelis. Additional land farmed by Palestinians in the Palestinian territories (and subsequent State of Palestine) has since been gained by Israel as a result of more wars and uprisings and Israeli settlements. Israeli policies limiting the supply of water, access to farmland, and other factors of production have impacted Palestinian agriculture. Early agriculture Jericho, near the Jordan River in Palestine, is one of the oldest agricultural settlements in the world dating to 8,000 BCE or earlier. Eight founder crops were grown at that time or shortly thereafter: three cereals (Einkorn and emmer wheat and barley); four pulses (lentils, peas, chickpeas, and bitter vetch), and flax The fig tree may have been domesticated even earlier, possibly around 9000 BCE. The olive tree was domesticated about 6000 BCE. Citrus trees originated in Southeast Asia but were introduced into Palestine during the first millennium BCE. The early farmers of Palestine had four important domesticated animals: goats, sheep, oxen, and camels. The importance of Palestinian agriculture was attested in the 10th century by the Palestinian geographer Al-Maqdisi who cited olives, cotton, grapes, and sugar cane among the crops of the region. In the 16th century, Franciscan priest Francesco Suriano added apples, citrus, and sesame to the list of important Palestinian crops. Cotton and sesame were exported to Europe from the 16th century onward. Ottoman rule The Ottoman empire conquered the Palestinian region in 1516 and ruled until World War I (1914–1918). Under pressure from European rivals and steeped in a traditional system, the Ottomans attempted a modernization and reform of their society during the Tanzimat period beginning in 1839. Among the reforms was a 1867 law which permitted foreigners to own land in the Ottoman empire. In the mid 19th century most Palestinians lived in the hills and mountains that run down the center of the region. This was due to the prevalence of malaria and the danger of Bedouin raids in the lowlands. The highlands were densely populated compared to the lowlands. Many highland villages also owned land in the lowlands and established satellite settlements there. The population in the lowlands increased towards the end of the 19th century as population pressure forced highland farmers to migrate and the Ottomans pushed the Bedouin tribes eastward beyond the Jordan River. Opportunities to profit from commercial agriculture for export also motivated highlanders to move toward the Mediterranean Coast on the west and the Dead Sea and Jordan River on the east. The years after 1856 were a period of economic growth for Palestine, especially for agricultural exports to Europe and regional markets. Wheat and barley were the most important crops, grown on 75 percent of cultivated land. Yields were best in the northern Jordan valley and the lowland coast with many highland areas having poor yields. Most of the wheat and barley was consumed by the farmers rather than sold. Olive cultivation was common or poorer lands in the highlands both for home use and as a cash crop. Grapes were grown in the vicinity of Hebron. Citrus production expanded in the latter decades of the 19th century near the Mediterranean and was an important export. Theoretically, almost all the agricultural land in the empire was owned by the Ottoman state, but inheritable rights to use the land was granted to individuals and villages. The most important systems of land tenure for agriculture in Palestine were musha'a (also masha'a) and mafrouz, a land tenure system that roughly corresponds to the European concept of private property. Mafrouz land made up only a small percentage of agricultural land. The larger percentage of land called musha'a was allocated and utilized in common by a village or community and parceled out to individuals and peasant families. At intervals of one to five years the peasants redistributed the land usually by lot. Thus, a village farmer did not have rights to a single plot of land, but rather the plot of land he cultivated changed every few years. The redistribution process tended to equalize the economic possibilities of each peasant. A peasant allocated a poor plot of land might find himself with a better plot of land with the redistribution and vice versa. The musha'a system is often criticized as inefficient and hindering agricultural progress. Given the periodic redistribution of land, the peasant had no incentive to improve the land he was cultivating. The opposite view is that no evidence proves that the musha'a system was less efficient than individual land-holdings and that the musha'a system reduced risks to peasant communities and encouraged communal cooperation and responsibility. In the late 19th century, the growing dependence of some farmers on selling to local and foreign markets for agricultural products and encouraged the increase in individual entrepreneurs who operated in a monetary economy rather than the collective and traditional nature of the musha'a. The Ottoman government attempted, without much success, to eliminate the musha'a with its land law of 1858. The Ottomans aimed to increase its revenue from taxation and to exert more control over land. Jewish settlers who wished to buy land in Palestine beginning about 1880 found the musha'a system inconsistent with their preference for clear titles and boundaries to land. The British continued the effort to eliminate musha'a after they overthrew Ottoman rule during World War I. The British conducted surveys and implemented policies to convert land cultivated in common by Palestinian communities into private property. As a consequence, the percentage of land cultivated by Palestinian communities in the musha'a system declined from 70 percent in 1917 to 25 percent in 1940. By the end of the Ottoman period, the small farmers of the musha'a system were impoverished by government policy hostile to the continuation of collective land tenure, higher taxes, indebtedness, and increased pressure on the land due to population growth. Land was increasingly owned by large investors, many of whom were not resident in Palestine. Beginnings of Jewish agriculture The first Jewish agricultural settlements were established in 1882 after purchasing land from Palestinians. Their inhabitants were eastern European Jews who had little knowledge of agriculture and adopted local practices. The first settlements were in danger of failing, but were saved when banker Edmond de Rothschild invested in the settlements, encouraging and financing commercial rather than subsistence agriculture and the adoption of modern European technology. By the year 1900, more than 5,000 Jews were engaged in agriculture and they cultivated of land mostly devoted to grains and vineyards. The settlements were located in the plains near the Mediterranean coast where Palestinian commercial agriculture was also expanding. This was the most fertile area of Palestine. The emphasis was on citrus production for export to Europe. By 1914, near the end of the Ottoman empire, Jews owned an area of of land, 6.4 percent of cultivated land in Palestine. British mandate The dissolution of the Ottoman Empire after World War I led to the League of Nations giving Great Britain a mandate to administer Palestine. The mandate lasted from 1920 to 1948. The mandate "included the incompatible goals" of encouraging settlement of Jews while protecting the rights of the Palestinian Arabs and a small population of European Christians. According to 1922 census, Jews made up 11 percent of the population of 750,000 in the British mandate with Palestinians, both Muslims and Christians, making up almost all of the remainder. The mandate period is characterized by the side-by-side existence of the indigenous agricultural systems of Palestinians and the imported technology of Jewish farmers, the decline of the traditional musha'a system, the rise of capitalism in the agricultural sector, the rapid increase in the Jewish population due to immigration, and the progress in growing and marketing cash crops by both Jewish and Palestinian farmers. Palestinian Arab agriculture During the mandate period, the typical Palestinian farmer in the highlands continued to practice subsistence farming of wheat, barley, and millet and continued to have problems of too-small holdings, debt, and uncertain tenancy. "They devoted their energies into holding on to what they had." Yields of the grain crops varied greatly from year to year and imports were necessary to make up deficits in the demand for grain for local consumption. However, the share of farmland devoted to growing grain declined (as did the musha'a system of land tenancy in favor of privately owned land) as Palestinian agriculture increased in diversity. Palestinian production of export and commercial crops increased rapidly. Vegetables (including potatoes, a new crop), olives, and fruit, especially citrus, were the most important commercial crops. As opposed to grain production in the highlands, most commercial agriculture was on the plains near the Mediterranean Sea and irrigation was commonly used to make up deficits in precipitation. Inland Galilee was an area of increase in growing olives and producing olive oil. During the mandate period, Palestinian vegetable production increased more than ten-fold, olive production more than doubled, and acreage planted in citrus increased more than seven-fold. Citrus comprised about 40 percent of the value of the agricultural exports of the Palestinian Arabs. Jewish agriculture During the mandate period the Jewish population in Palestine increased much more rapidly than the Arab Palestinians. In 1918, the population of Palestine consisted of about 60,000 Jews and 630,000 non-Jews. By 1947, the population was 630,000 Jews as compared to 1,324,000 non-Jews. The increase in the Jewish population was mostly due to immigration. Jewish agriculture increased as the Jewish population did. In 1914, the 6.4 percent of cultivated land owned by the "European sector" (predominately Jews) increased in 1941 to of land, 24.5 percent of cultivated land. By 1945, Jewish production of vegetables and citrus exceeded that of the Palestinians. Agriculture and the acquisition of agricultural land served the Zionist objective of creating a Jewish state. The Jews mostly purchased land from large landowners on the plains near the fertile Mediterranean coast rather than from the musha'a peasants in the hills and mountains in the interior. The first Jewish settlements utilized Palestinian labor, but soon the standard was to employ only Jews on Jewish-owned land even although the cost was higher than when Palestinian labor was used. The Jews claimed that the money they spent for land stimulated the former landowners to invest in modernizing Palestinian agriculture. Charles S. Kamen doubts that view as many land owners were urban dwellers or not residents of Palestine, although some of the money may have been invested in Palestinian citrus plantations. Palestinians claim that the Jewish land purchases displaced many farmers. Kamen estimates that the displacement amounted to between 10,000 and 30,000 Palestinians. Crops (1943) In 1943, 91.7 percent of crop land was rainfed and 8.3 percent was irrigated. Most of the Jewish land was cultivated in commercial and export crops while most Palestinians continued to practice subsistence farming growing wheat and barley. The acreage devoted to crops (including both Palestinian and Jewish land) was the following. Partition and war The post-World War II civil war in Palestine and the 1948 Arab-Israeli War resulted in the partition of Palestine into the independent state of Israel, inhabited primarily by Jews, and the Palestinian territories, inhabited primarily by Palestinian Arabs. The wars resulted in 700,000 Palestinians (85 percent of the Palestinian population living within the borders of Israel), mostly farmers, being forced off or abandoning their land in what became Israel—and few of them have been able to return. For example, prior to the war about one-half of the commercially-important citrus orchards near the Mediterranean coast were owned by Palestinians. Palestinian and Israeli citrus-growers cooperated as members of a Citrus Board. In 1950, after the Palestinian owners had been expelled from their lands, several prominent Jewish citrus growers requested the Israeli government to allow four Palestinians who had been members of the Citrus Board to return and reclaim their property. The Israeli government turned down the request and the former Palestinian citrus orchards remained in Israeli hands. The value of the agricultural land of the Palestinians lost to the Israelis was valued in 1996 at between 2.2 and 2.6 billion dollars (1993 dollars), about $5 billion in 2023. Eighty percent of the 2,185,000 dunums () Israel claimed was brought into cultivation after the 1948 war was agricultural land that belonged to and had been cultivated by the Palestinians before their displacement from the land during the war. This displacement and disruption caused the near disappearance of Palestinian agriculture in Israel and the replacement of Palestinian farmers by Israelis. In the Palestinian territories (and since 1988 the State of Palestine), much farmland has been occupied by Israeli settlers. Concurrently, Israeli policies limiting Palestinian access to land, water, markets, and technology have been detrimental to Palestinian Arab farmers and favorable to Israeli settlers in Palestine, a situation which endures into the 21st century.

María Eugenia Aubet

María Eugenia Aubet Semmler (30 April 1943 – 18 February 2024) was a Spanish archaeologist and historian. A professor of prehistory and founding director of the Archaeology Laboratory at Pompeu Fabra University, she was considered a pioneer of Phoenician and Punic archeology in Europe. Biography María Eugenia Aubet Semmler was born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1943. She attended the University of Barcelona, graduating with a bachelor's in ancient history in 1969 and a doctorate in history in 1970. After over a decade at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, in 1993 Aubet became a senior professor of prehistory at Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, where she founded and directed the Archaeology Laboratory. Her primary research areas were Phoenician–Punic archaeology and Mediterranean protohistory. From 1986 to 1992, she led research on Phoenician colonization in the Bay of Málaga and its hinterland, financed by the Andalusian government. The Catalan government also supported her work on Mediterranean prehistory and archeology. Other significant projects included her 1991 research on Tartessian cultural exchange and mechanisms of social transformation during the Atlantic Bronze Age and the Orientalizing period; her work as co-director of research on the Phoenicians in the Nerja area, also in 1991; explorations of colonial commerce in the Mediterranean in the 8th–6th centuries B.C.E., which she conducted in 1991–1993 and 1994–1997; and various excavations and studies on Phoenician–Punic cultural contact and colonialism, from 2000 to 2008. Notably, she led the archaeological excavations of the Phoenician necropolis of Tir Al-Bass in Tyre, Lebanon, as part of a project by the Spanish Ministry of Education. She and her collaborators were the first to obtain permission from the Lebanese authorities to excavate in the area of what was once the center of ancient Tyre, where the city's temples, palaces, and markets were located. Between 1997 and 2009, she and her collaborators excavated almost 300 Phoenician tombs. These remains from the necropolis, at the entrance to the city of Tyre, were dated to the 9th and 10th centuries B.C.E., and were uncovered alongside hundred of funerary amphoras, amulets, and jewels. After three years' pause, Aubet and her team resumed excavations in May 2014. She also worked on various projects to coordinate research around the Mediterranean. From 1994 to 1997, she directed the European Union's Med-Campus "Odysseus" research exchange program, focusing on Phoenician archaeology, which connected experts in Barcelona, Beirut, Cyprus, Tübingen, Cagliari, and Malta. Aubet was the author of various books on Mediterranean archaeology. Her 1987 work Tiro y las colonias fenicias de occidente is one of the most consulted and translated books in the field of Mediterranean protohistory; it was first published in English as The Phoenicians and the West: Politics, Colonies, and Trade in 1993. In 2005, she was honored by the government of Catalonia for her work promoting university research. After retiring in 2016, she was awarded the Gold Medal of Merit in the Fine Arts in 2019. She died in 2024, at age 79, in Barcelona.

Liechtenstein–United Kingdom relations

Foreign relations between the United Kingdom and it's predecessors with Liechtenstein date back to World War I. Both countries established diplomatic relations in May 1992. Since then, the relations between the two countries have been stable. The United Kingdom does not have an embassy in Liechtenstein, but the British ambassador to Switzerland, located in Bern, is also accredited to Liechtenstein. Similarly, the Swiss embassy in London also represents Liechtenstein. History Diplomatic relations between the United Kingdom and Liechtenstein date back to World War I. The United Kingdom sided with the Entente countries during throughout the war. Though Liechtenstein remained neutral throughout the conflict, it retained close ties to Austria-Hungary and was sympathetic to the Central Powers. At the outbreak of the war, the United Kingdom interned Liechtensteiners and partially confiscated their assets. From 1916, Liechtenstein was embargoed by the Entente countries until the end of the war. Liechtenstein applied to join the League of Nations in 1920, though this was rejected by the League of Nations Assembly on 17 December 1920, of which the United Kingdom was a member, by a vote of 28 against and 1 in favour. During World War II, Liechtenstein remained neutral, and its neutrality was not violated by any of the combatants. The United Kingdom had been on the side of the Allies since 1939. Though this neutrality was respected by the United Kingdom throughout the war, Liechtensteiner organizations such as Marxer & Partner Rechtsanwälte were embargoed from 1943 due to its cooperation with individuals associated with the war industry of Nazi Germany. Both countries were members of the European Economic Area until the United Kingdom's departure on 31 January 2020. During the 2008 Liechtenstein tax affair, was revealed that secret bank information had also been sold to British tax authorities, which led to 100 British citizens being investigated for tax evasion. Liechtenstein reached an agreement with the United Kingdom in 2009 that will allow the about 5,000 British customers of Liechtenstein's banks that hold for them about £2-3 billion in secret accounts to come clear with British tax authorities under terms of a significantly reduced penalty. On 8 July 2021, Liechtenstein and the United Kingdom signed a free trade agreement in conjunction with members of the European Free Trade Association.

Joseph Clarke (physician)

Joseph Clarke (8 April 1758 – 10 September 1834) was an Irish physician. Biography Clarke was the second son of James Clarke, agriculturist, was born in Desertlin parish, co. Londonderry, on 8 April 1758. He studied arts at Glasgow in 1775–6, and medicine at Edinburgh in 1776–9, graduating in September 1779. In the spring of 1781 he attended William Hunter's lectures in London, and received a stimulus to obstetrical studies, which determined him to settle in Dublin as an accoucheur. Becoming pupil in 1781 and assistant physician in 1783 at the Lying-in Hospital, he was elected master (or physician) of that hospital in 1786, having in the same year married a niece of Dr. Cleghorn, founder of the anatomical school in Trinity College, whom he assisted in his lectures from 1784 to 1788. Already in 1783, Clarke had suggested the improved ventilation of the Lying-in Hospital, to diminish the serious mortality of infants there within nine days of birth, amounting to one in six, a mortality afterwards reduced to one in nineteen, and later to one in 108. On his appointment as master he began to lecture in the hospital, and established a school of midwifery. On the termination of his seven years of office as master he published (in vol. i. of the ‘Transactions of the King and Queen's College of Physicians in Ireland’) a report of 10,387 cases, recounting in detail all points worthy of note, and forming one of the most valuable records in existence on the subject. It was afterwards supplemented by his notes of 3,878 births in private practice, in which he had not lost one mother from protracted labour (see Collins, Sketch of Clarke). He was remarkable for his abstention from the use of the forceps, which he only employed once in private practice. His receipts in fees of from 10l. to 150l. amounted to 37,252l. He retired from practice in 1829, and died on 10 Sept. 1834 at Edinburgh, while attending the meeting of the British Association there. Clarke's ‘Observations on the Puerperal Fever,’ originally published in the ‘Edinburgh Medical Commentaries,’ xv. 299, 1790, have been reprinted by Dr. Fleetwood Churchill in ‘Essays on the Puerperal Fever,’ Sydenham Society, 1849. He published several important papers in the ‘Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy,’ of which he was vice-president, among which may be mentioned ‘Remarks on the Causes and Cure of some Diseases of Infancy,’ vol. vi., and ‘On Bilious Colic and Convulsions in Early Infancy,’ vol. xi. Two letters of his to Richard Price, D.D., author of ‘A Treatise on Life Annuities,’ dealing with some causes of the excess of mortality of males above that of females, were printed in the ‘Philosophical Transactions’ for 1786, p. 349.

Holmes Coote

Holmes Coote (10 November 1817 – December 1872) was an English surgeon. Biography Coote was born on 10 November 1817, and was second son of Richard Holmes Coote, a conveyancer. He was educated at Westminster School, and at the age of sixteen was made apprentice to Sir William Lawrence, one of the surgeons to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. In 1845 he obtained a prize at the College of Surgeons for an essay ‘On the Anatomy of the Fibres of the Human Brain, illustrated by the Anatomy of the same parts in the Lower Vertebrata.’ His first book was published in 1849, ‘The Homologies of the Human Skeleton,’ and is an explanation of the relation of the several bones of the human skeleton to the parts of the archetype skeleton of Richard Owen. It is a mere piece of book-work. He was elected demonstrator of anatomy in the St. Bartholomew's Medical School, and continued to teach in the dissecting-room till elected assistant surgeon in 1854. Shortly after he received leave from the governors of the hospital to be absent as civil surgeon in charge of the wounded from the Crimean war at Smyrna. After his return he published ‘A Report on some of the more important Points in the Treatment of Syphilis,’ 1857, and in 1863 he was elected surgeon to the hospital. Besides some shorter writings, Coote published in the ‘St. Bartholomew's Hospital Reports’ three papers on diseases of the joints (vols. i. and ii.), one on the treatment of wounds (vol. vi.), on rickets (vol. v.), on operations for stone (vol. iv.), and one on a case of aneurysm. In 1867 he published a volume ‘On Joint Diseases.’ He wrote easily, but without much collected observation, thought, or research, and it is only as evidence of the practice of his period that his works deserve consultation. He was a tall man of burly frame, of kindly disposition and convivial tastes. He married twice, but was never in easy circumstances, nor attained much practice. While still in the prime of life he looked older than his years, and was attacked by general paralysis with delusions of boundless wealth, and died in December 1872.

Helderberg Group (geology)

The Helderberg Group is a geologic group that outcrops in the State New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland New Jersey and West Virginia. It also is present subsurface in Ohio and the Canadian Providence of Ontario It preserves fossils dating back to the Early Devonian and Late Silurian period. The name was coined by T.A Conrad, 1839 in the New York State Geological Survey Annual Report. Named for the Helderberg Escarpment or Helderberg Mountains. The upper portion of the Helderberg, or the Kalkberg Formation is host to the Bald Hill ash bed, dated to 417.6 million years ago. The Helderberg is composed chiefly of limestone and dolomite. Stratigraphy Manlius Limestone The Manlius Limestone was first noted by Vanuxem (1840, p. 372) as a "waterlime" (hydraulic limestone) near Manlius, New York. The Manlius is composed of limestone, grainstone, calcareous mudstone and bindstone. The Manlius is 419 - 411 Ma. The Thacher Member member of the Manlius along eastern New York and down into parts of northern New Jersey. It is characterised as a "ribbon rock", meaning that it contains very thin layers of alternating limestone and argillaceous rock. The color of the Thacher is dark blueish-black. The limestone is fine to medium grained. It averages 51 feet thick. It makes up the upper part of the Manlius in New York and makes up the entirety of the Manlius in northeastern New Jersey. Moving southwest it become more argillaceous and arenaceous, as it grades into the Depue Limestone. The Thacher contains fossils of stromatoporoids, crinoids, rugose corals, tabulate corals, tranchiopods, tentaculitids, and ostracodes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willet%20Green%20Miller%20Centre

Willet Green Miller Centre

The Willet Green Miller Centre is a multi-story research laboratory specializing in geological research and testing state-of-the-art geoscience technology. Established in  1990, The building houses many inter-governmental organizations relating to geoscience. The laboratory is located in Greater Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, off the shore of Lake Ramsey. The research laboratory was initially named the Mine & Mills Centre before being renamed the Willet Green Miller Centre after construction.  The building is structured in three divisions due to its purpose as a scientific building that houses a variety of governmental subdivisions. The main function of the laboratory is to provide the scientists with an environment that accommodates both the researchers and their equipment. Site The Willet Green Miller Centre is located on the southwestern side of Lake Ramsey, on the main campus of Laurentian University. Visitors and Researchers enter the building through either the primary entrance on University Rd or the entrance on Ramsey Rd. The surrounding area is part of Laurentian University's main campus and includes structures such as the Living with Lakes Ecology Centre, located directly on the lake's edge, and the Fraser Building, which follows University Rd. Architecture The Willet Green Miller Centre was designed by Townend Stefura, Baleshta Nicholls Architects, now known as Belanger-Salach. The design team was comprised of John Stefura, Rick Yallowega, Denis Comtois, Tony Niro, and Ted Matheson. John Stefura was the principal architect at the time with Rick Yallowega, a junior partner at the time but who would eventually become a principal architect, during the time of Nicholls Yallowega Bélanger Architects before it became Belanger-Salach Architects. The structure is comprised of three structures, each having their own purpose. The center structure supports the geologists' administrative offices, while the south is reserved for the scientists, equipping them with a state-of-the-art lab utilized for geological research. The third and final segment of the building is more industrial in nature. It houses a mine hoist rope testing facility, as that portion of the structure is prepared with specific qualities that mitigate the aftershock caused by the hoist rope’s failure. Facade The building is clad in stainless steel panels to reflect and symbolize the mining technologies of northern Ontario. Each panel weighs 360 lbs and is tig-welded to the steel stud frame behind the panels to not show any fasteners or marks left by the machine. The machine was required to be carefully calibrated as a challenge with using pure stainless steel panels was that if the charge was too high, the panels would show dimples and marks. If the charge was too low, the weld wouldn't hold and would eventually fail, causing the heavy panel to fall. History The Ontario Government commissioned various research buildings for northern Ontario, as they wanted to move many of the laboratories out of Toronto and into the north.  The Sudbury location was explicitly chosen as Sudbury was already a mining town at the time and thus had access to many geological elements. The commission was for five buildings in total located all over Ontario. The architects toured all across North America, researching and gathering inspiration. One such building that was case-studied by the design team was the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. In 2004 Laurentian University received 2,528600 From the NOHFC ( Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation), to relocate the department of earth sciences into Willet Green Miller Center. Construction Construction was completed in 1990, focusing on northern materials such as the two different types of granite used in the building being sourced from a local quarry. The building was inspired by multiple existing research laboratories whose design principles were reused in the Willet Green Miller Centre. In between each floor lays an interstitial mechanical floor to support & service the scientific equipment for every other floor, allowing each floor to receive the power and support required for the powerful machinery required for advanced analysis. Mine hoist rope testing facility The building features a mine hoist rope testing facility, designed to take a cable to absolute failure. The facility places such an immense amount of tension on the rope, that when it fails, the kinetic energy produced is strong enough to shake the earth around the site as the energy would be channelled into the rock beneath the Willet Green Miller Centre. To combat this, a large inertia block foundation was implemented into the design to mitigate the vibrations channelled into the rock. Early years Incident After Construction: Due to a wind vortex created by the structure, one of the 360lb stainless steel panels became loose on the frame and fell off the frame. This was caused by that specific panel not being tightened enough during construction, which, coupled with the wind vortex, caused the panel to loosen and eventually fall. This resulted in a complete re-test of every panel and multiple wind-tests being re-done. Present Currently, The Willet Green Miller Centre hosts many organizations and events and is also home to the recently founded Harquail School of Earth Sciences. The organizations located within the laboratory are the following: Mining Research Organization Harquail School of Earth Sciences Geoscience Laboratory Center for Excellence in Mining Innovation (CEMI) (Formerly) Graduates The Harquail School of Earth Sciences has produced many Graduates who have contributed significantly to the field. The students include but are not limited to: Ashley Kirwan: President & CEO of Orix Geoscience, Dr. Elizabeth Turner: Renowned Professor of Geoscience at Laurentian University & Geological Consultant, Dr. Nadia Mykytczuk: President & CEO of MIRARCO, Executive Director of Goodman School of Mines at Laurentian University.

Don't Tell Me That It's Over (EP)

Don't Tell Me That It's Over is a 2022 extended play released by Scottish singer–songwriter Amy Macdonald, released on July 7, 2022, via BMG. It features a total of three re–recorded songs – "Don't Tell Me That It's Over", "Run" and "Slow It Down" – from Macdonald's studio albums A Curious Thing (2010), This is the Life (2007) and Life in a Beautiful Light (2012) respectively. Background Macdonald re–recorded three new versions of previous her previous single releases – "Run" (2008), "Don't Tell Me That It's Over" (2010) and "Slow It Down" (2012), describing the songs as "fan favourites". Macdonald has claimed that the three songs have been re–recorded in the style of live performances and the way in which Macdonald performs each of the three songs whilst on tour. Speaking about the background and inspiration for the extended play, Macdonald claimed that "having played these songs live for years on the road, my band and I decided to reimagine the music a little bit, give them a new lease of life, and bring them into line musically with some of the tracks from my latest album. The result is a really exciting and modern vibe, and when we took them on the road and played them in front of an audience they got a great response, so we decided we wanted to put them down on record and share them with the world – hence this EP". The songs were chosen on the basis of their popularity during Macdonald's live shows, and between each of the three songs, they have accumulated a total of 75 million streams on streaming platforms worldwide. Release and reception The extended play was released on 7 July 2022 via Macdonald's record company BMG Rights Management (BMG Records). The extended play was released to promote Macdonald's busy touring schedule during the Summer period throughout 2022. Prior to its release, Macdonald played a sold out date at Glasgow's OVO Hydro before commencing on European dates which included arena and festival performances. Upon the release of Don't Tell Me That It's Over, Macdonald's vocal ability was praised by music critics who had complimented Macdonald's mature vocal range. "‘Don’t Tell Me That It’s Over’ shows how much Amy's voice has matured since the original version was released in 2010, while the production, less intricate but far more raucous, allows its driving pop-rock melodies to take on a powerful new momentum" said Mark Millar in XS Noize. The re–recording of "Run" was similarly praised, claiming that she had "raised the dramatic intensity from the original’s contrasting dynamics. ‘Slow It Down’ is perhaps the biggest reinvention of the set, now feeling like a blend between Amy's love of Springsteen's heartland rock and the sparkling synth undercurrent of The War on Drugs". Upon the release of the extended play, Macdonald said that she was "so proud" to share the release ahead of her upcoming run of festival shows across Europe. Promotional dates Macdonald toured Europe immediately following the release of Don't Tell Me That It's Over with shows in countries including Germany, Austria and her native Scotland. The list of dates in which Macdonald toured in support of its release are as noted below.

Alphapolyomavirus

Alphapolyomavirus is one of eight genera of non-enveloped dsDNA viruses in the polyomaviridae family. Member viruses primarily infect humans and other mammals. Transmission of the virus in humans is primarily spread via direct contact with parents or other high-contact individuals as children. The primary alphapolyomavirus that is of clinical significance to humans is Merkel cell polyomavirus (Human polyomavirus 5, MCV, or MCPyV). The apparent oncogenicity of MCPyV similar to other cancer-causing viruses such as HPV, Epstein-Barr virus, and Hepatitis C virus is a main area of research for the scientific community.

John Croft (surgeon)

John Croft (4 August 1833 – 21 November 1905) was an English surgeon. Biography Croft was born on 4 August 1833 at Pettinghoe near Newhaven, in Sussex, was son of Hugh Croft, who at the age of nineteen married his first wife Maria, aged sixteen. His grandfather, Gilmore Croft, a successful medical practitioner in the City of London, left Hugh Croft a competence, much of which was spent in farming. Hugh's first wife died in 1842, and marrying again he moved to Lower Clapton. John Croft was educated at the Hackney Church of England school, and through life held earnest religious views. He served a short apprenticeship with Thomas Evans of Burwash in Sussex, and entered St. Thomas's Hospital in 1850. Admitted M.R.C.S., and a licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries in 1854, he served as house surgeon at St. Thomas's Hospital. After spending five years (1855–60) as surgeon to the Dreadnought seamen's hospital ship, he returned to St. Thomas's to become demonstrator of anatomy and surgical registrar. He was successively resident assistant surgeon (Dec. 1863), assistant surgeon (1 Jan. 1871), and surgeon (1 July 1871), when the new buildings of the hospital were opened on the Albert Embankment. In the medical school he was in succession demonstrator of anatomy, lecturer on practical surgery, and lecturer on clinical surgery. He resigned his appointments in July 1891, when he was elected consulting surgeon. He was also surgeon to the Surrey dispensary; to the National Truss Society; to the Magdalen Hospital at Streatham, and to the National Provident Assurance Society. He was elected F.R.C.S. in 1859; was a member of the council (1882–90); vice-president in 1889, and a member of the court of examiners (1881–6). Croft was one of the earlier hospital surgeons in London to adopt the improved methods advocated by Lister. His name is chiefly associated with the introduction of 'Croft's splints,' which were plaster of Paris cases made with scrubbing flannel and shaped to the limb. They were employed in place of the ordinary splints and the 'gum and chalk' bandages which had previously been used in the treatment of fractures of the leg. Croft was a strong advocate for early excision of the joint in cases of hip disease. He died on 21 November 1905, and was buried in Kensal Green cemetery. He married in 1864 Annie, daughter of Alexander Douglas Douglas, but left no issue. Croft contributed to the 'St. Thomas's Hospital Reports,' Holmes's 'System of Surgery,' the 'Transactions' of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society, the Clinical, and other medical societies.

Stele of Quintus Aemilius Secundus

The Stele of Quintus Aemilius Secundus is a first-century Roman tombstone bearing a notable funerary inscription. It records how the dedicatee served in Roman Syria under Publius Sulpicius Quirinius, who was governor of Syria at the time, and there oversaw a census in the town of Apamea. It has been discussed in the context of the census in Judea mentioned in the Gospel of Luke, which was conducted under Quirinius's supervision. Text The inscription reads as follows: Quintus Aemilius Secundus son of Quintus, of the Palatine tribe, decorated with honours in the service of the deified Augustus under Publius Sulpicius Quirinius, legate of Caesar in Syria. He was prefect of cohors I Augusta and prefect of cohors II Classica. At the command of Quirinius, I carried out a census of the district of Apamea involving 117,000 citizens. Likewise when sent by Quirinius against the Itureans, I captured their fort on the Mount Lebanon. Before being involved in military service as a commander of a core of engineers, I was appointed by the two consuls as treasurer, and in the colony I was treasury secretary to the aedile twice, duumvir a second time and was as a priest. Quintus Aemilius Secundus son of Quintus of the Palatine tribe, his son and Aemilia Chia his freedwoman were placed there. This monument is excluded from the inheritance. Discovery The stele was discovered in Beirut in 1674, and a transcript was published in 1719. It was subsequently lost, and the transcript was suspected to be a forgery until the lower part of the original was rediscovered in 1880 on Giudecca, where it had served as a window sill in a private house.

Princess Feodora Adelheid of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg

Princess Feodora Adelheid of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg (Feodora Adelheid Helene Louise Caroline Pauline Alice Jenny; 3 July 1874 – 21 June 1910) was a member of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Augustenburg and was the daughter of Frederick VIII, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein. Life and work Princess Feodora was the youngest daughter of seven children of the (titular) Duke Frederick VIII, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein (1829–1880) and his wife Princess Princess Adelheid of Hohenlohe-Langenburg (1835–1900), second daughter of Ernst I, Prince of Hohenlohe-Langenburg and the Princess Feodora of Leiningen. Through her mother, she was the great-niece of the British Queen Victoria and her eldest sister Augusta Victoria had been with the Crown Prince of Prussia since 1881 and later Emperor Wilhelm II. She spent a harmonious childhood with her siblings in Dolzig, Kiel and at Primkenau Castle in exile, which since 1853 was owned by her grandfather, Christian August II, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein belonged. The princess was educated exclusively at home by governesses and tutors; She spoke several foreign languages and was artistically talented and interested in many ways. Feodora studied at the Art Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden. Her paternal mentor, Privy Councilor Max Lehrs, dedicated words of appreciation to her posthumously. She was a princess in spirit and what might be more said, a princess of heart and... She maintained a particularly close relationship with Fritz Mackensen, the co-founder of the Artists' Colony Worpswede near Bremen (1889) . Mackensen was her artistic teacher. The Princess visited Mackensen in Worpswede in 1899, where she also came into contact with the other members of the artist community -Heinrich Vogeler, Hans am Ende, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Otto Modersohn – stepped. Vogeler provided the book decoration for her Fischer novel Through the Fog, published in 1908 by G. Grotesche Verlagsbuchhandlung, Berlin.. In 1903, Princess Feodora moved into the Krongut Bornstedt in Bornstedt near Potsdam and was given it to use for life. In the following years she developed Bornstedt into an artist's farm with writers, literary circles and painters. During extensive travels in the following years she got to know the painters Hans Thoma and Max Klinger. The princess found the motifs for her Impressionist paintings in the surroundings of the crown estate and in Schleswig-Holstein, which was perceived as her homeland. Since 1906, Princess Feodora turned back to writing, which she saw as her real calling. As a writer, under the pseudonym “Feodora Holstein” or “F. Hugin” (one of Odin's ravens), Feodora sought contact to North German writers, to whom she saw herself connected as Princess of Schleswig-Holstein. She also drew the themes of her naturalistic stories such as Hahn Berta or Through the Fog from their environment. For example, a letter from April 18, 1904 to the author Gustav Frenssen about the Bornstedt crown estate has been preserved. Baroness Roeder von Diersburg was the princess's lady-in-waiting in Bornstedt. Princess Feodora, who had been ailing for several years, died unexpectedly on June 21, 1910, on their property in Hochfelden in the Black Forest. Contemporaries spoke of typhoid fever; the real cause of death remains unclear. Her remains were buried on the family property at Primkenau Castle in Lower Silesia. The grave was looted in 1945.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kherad-name

Kherad-name

The Kherad-nâme-ye Eskandari (Alexandrian Book of Wisdom) (also referred to as the Khiradnāma) of Abd-al-Rahmân Jâmi is a piece of Persian literature which existed as an heir to the tradition of the Khamsa of Nizami Ganjavi (d. 1209). It constitutes the final book of Jami's larger seven-book composition, his Haft Awrang. More specifically, it focuses on legends of Alexander the Great as recounted in Nizami's Iskandarnameh and ultimately in the tradition of the Alexander Romance genre of literature. Jami's representation of the genre offers his readers a spiritual reflection on Alexander's journeys interspersed with long philosophical meditations exemplified through short anecdotes (hekâyat). As with other Islamic authors of this era, Alexander is ultimately identified with Dhu al-Qarnayn in his construction of the eastern wall against Gog and Magog. The text was composed before 1489, possibly in 1485, and was dedicated to the Timurid ruler of Herat (one of the cities believed to have been originally constructed by Alexander during his conquest of the Achaemenid Empire), Sultan Husayn Bayqara (r. 1469–1506). It is roughly 2,300 verses long, making it comparatively short with other Persian literature. Synopsis Jami chose to focus on stories that reflect wisdom and its mysteries as opposed to renarrating the life and journeys of Alexander in detail, as had been done with Alexander the Great in the Shahnameh or Nizami's Alexander. Jami's anecdotal and didactic approach focuses on civil and philosophical issues, while only touching on a few major episodes of the life of Alexander, starting with his education under Aristotle and ascent to the throne, followed by a long section discussing the court philosophers including the wisdom works of Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Hippocrates, Pythagoras, Ascelpius (which acts to substitute Vettius Valens, Apollonius, and Porphyry in Nizami's poem). Alexander's conquests from Egypt to Persia are reduced to a brief summary:He uprooted the temples of the idols from their very foundation, And threw Zoroaster and the Zoroastrians into flames, He purged the earth from all religions, Save that of the pure and pristine God (din-e yazdân-e pâk) He built many a city in different locations, Such as Samarqand, Marv, and Herat. Bent on building a barrier, he headed east, Closing the gate of sedition to the Yâjuj. Having traversed the expanse of the earth, From dry land he reached the ocean green. Alexander also contributes to the progress of civilization by minting gold and silver coins, beginning the use of iron in construction and other materials, inventing the mirror (here following the Ayina-i Iskandari or Alexandrine Mirror of Amir Khusrau), performing the first space measurements, and translating Persian literature into Greek. Alexander also visits China, India, and the Blessed City. After visiting Mount Qaf, he receives an announcement of his incoming death; this becomes the subject of the last section of the poem. He ultimately dies and is buried in Alexandria (the greatest city he built in Egypt during his journeys), and lamentations are given by his mother and various sages. Influence Jami's poem had a substantial influence on the Sadd-i Iskandarī (Alexander's Wall) of Ali-Shir Nava'i, the only Alexander legend composed in Chagatai Turkish.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourdotia%20%28fungus%29

Bourdotia (fungus)

Bourdotia is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are effused, waxy, and occur on dead wood. Macroscopically they resemble waxy species of Exidiopsis, but are distinguished microscopically by the presence of gloeocystidia and "myxarioid" basidia (vertically sepate with an enucleate stalk cell). Only the type species, described from France, is currently confirmed as belonging to the genus. Taxonomy History Bourdotia was originally published in 1908 by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola as a subgenus of Sebacina, a genus then used for any species with tremelloid (vertically septate) basidia and effused basidiocarps. It was raised to the level of genus in 1913. Many additional effused species with gloeocystidia were subsequently described in Bourdotia until 1963 when Canadian mycologist E. Robena Luck-Allen transferred the majority into the genus Basidiodendron which she considered distinct. Current status Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has confirmed Luck-Allen's separation of Basidiodendron and Bourdotia. Sequencing of the type species, Bourdotia galzinii, has shown that the genus is close to Ductifera (which also has gloeocystidia) and may not be distinct.

Lee Carson

Lee Carson Reeves (1921/1922? – 1973) was an international war correspondent covering front line combat in the European theater in World War II from 1943 to 1946. She received the International News Service Medal of Honor in 1945 and the National Headliners Club Award for outstanding achievement. Early life Carson attended Smith College in Chicago at the age of 14 but left after two years to become a reporter at the Chicago Times. She also contributed articles to Good Housekeeping, Ladies Home Journal and Harper’s Bazaar. Career Carson joined the International News Service in 1940. She was made a war correspondent in 1943. J.C. Oestreicher, head of overseas news for the Hearst Group in New York, personally sent Carson to France to cover the war. While there, Carson also studied at the Ecole Anglaise in Paris. Dubbed the "best-looking war correspondent" by Newsweek, Carson was said to use this toward her advantage; but never let that distract from her job. In an article for Look magazine, Carson said: “the best break I got in war of preparation for the battle front came … when I was born into a family of outspoken, uninhibited sons.” Fighter pilot Colonel Hubert Zemke recalled how in the Spring of 1944, Carson caused a commotion while visiting the 56th Fighter Group by coercing a pilot into allowing her aboard a bomber on D-Day. Nursing units arrived on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Women correspondents were not allowed due to a SHAEF decree; but Carson managed to bypass the restrictions by coercing a group commander at an air base who allowed her a seat aboard a plane and an aerial view of the attack. Upon her return, Carson was able to cable a first hand eyewitness report of the invasion, days before other newsmen. When word circulated around the news desks, angry editors accused Carson of "batting her eyelashes" to get the story. SHAEF issued an order of discipline against her. Carson managed to allude military police and later went on to state: “Sure, I knew it [the policy that women could not cover combat]. But my job was to get the news.” Carson was the first Allied War Correspondent to enter Paris after its liberation. Accompanying the 4th Army, she reported on the Paris civilians who resisted the occupation; and later crossed the Siegfried Line at Aachen with fellow war correspondent Iris Carpenter alongside the 1st Army. Carpenter and Carson both reported on the Battle of the Bulge and the first GIs encountering Soviet forces at the Elbe River. On April 15, 1945, Carson entered Colditz after the liberation of the Castle and snapped the only photograph of the "cock" glider, built by inmates hidden in the attic. On April 23, 1945, Carson witnessed the liberation of the Erla Work Camp at Leipzig. On Saturday, June 16, 1945, Carson was awarded the Headliner medal from the National Headliners Club. Carson retired from the International News Service in 1957. Personal life Carson was married to CIA officer, Jay Reeves. She died of cancer at the age of 51 in 1973 at the Lankenau Hospital in Overbook, PA. References 1973 deaths

Mott Hooton

Mott Hooton (April 16, 1838 – May 30, 1920) was an American soldier who retired at the rank of U.S. Army brigadier general in 1902. Serving almost continuously since 1861, Hooton fought in the American Civil War, the Indian Wars, and the Spanish–American War. He was wounded in action twice during the Civil War and commanded troops in Cuba and the Philippines. Early life and family Mott Hooton was born on April 16, 1838, in Philadelphia to Ann Eliza (née Carpenter) and Mott Hooton Sr. His elder brother was Colonel Francis Carpenter Hooton, who commanded the 175th Pennsylvania Infantry Regiment during the American Civil War and later served as Chester County district attorney. Both sides of his family were of English heritage. Hooton's paternal great-grandfather, John Hooton, was a Loyalist captain of dragoons during the American Revolutionary War, while his maternal great-grandfather, Thomas Carpenter, was a Continental Army captain and colonel of Pennsylvania militia. After Francis and Mott Hooton's father died in 1838, his mother took the children back to her family hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania, where she soon married a local farmer named Maris Rhoads. Francis and Mott Hooton both attended Bolmar's Academy in West Chester. Military service Civil War Hooton enlisted in the Union Army on June 3, 1861, starting his military career as first sergeant of Company A of the 1st Pennsylvania Reserve Regiment, commanded by Captain Henry McIntire. Commissioned as a second lieutenant on June 10, he became captain and commanding officer of Company A on October 16, McIntire having risen to lieutenant colonel. As part of the Army of the Potomac, he fought in the Peninsula Campaign and the Battle of Gaines' Mill. Seriously wounded at the Second Battle of Bull Run in August 1862, he took the better part of a year to recover. Hooton returned to active duty in time to serve at the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1863), the Bristoe campaign and the Battle of Mine Run (October and November 1863), the Overland Campaign (May 1864), and other actions. Wounded again at the Battle of Totopotomoy Creek at the end of May 1864, he was honorably mustered out on June 13, 1864, when his term of enlistment expired. Nearly one year later, on March 13, 1865, he was brevetted a major of U.S. Volunteers for his "gallant and meritorious services in the Wilderness campaign." Indian Wars On February 23, 1866, Hooton enlisted in the United States Regular Army, receiving a commission as first lieutenant in the 13th Infantry Regiment. He served over thirty years on the American frontier, mostly garrisoning against Indian attacks. He deployed to Texas and Montana and spent six years at Fort Lewis in Colorado. He was transferred to the 31st Infantry Regiment on September 21, 1866, and to the 22nd infantry Regiment on May 15, 1869. He gained a promotion to captain on August 5, 1872, and a brevet to the rank of major on February 27, 1890, "for gallant and meritorious services in action against Indians at Spring Creek, Montana, October 15 and 16, 1876," when he led his troops in running clashes with Sioux warriors at the Battle of Cedar Creek. In 1880, Hooton took a yearlong leave of absence from the army and traveled to Japan. In 1880–81, he crossed Siberia from Vladivostok west to Yekaterinburg, becoming the first American officer to complete this journey. In 1895, he published a short article entitled "Certain Historical Data Regarding Extended Order" in the Journal of the Military Service Institution of the United States. Spanish–American War On May 1, 1896, Hooton became major of the 25th Infantry Regiment, a Buffalo Soldier regiment. He became lieutenant colonel of the 5th Infantry Regiment on October 4, 1898, and deployed to Santiago de Cuba. He fought in the Santiago campaign and served a total of nine months in Cuba. He became colonel and commanding officer of the 28th Infantry Regiment on February 2, 1901, serving with his regiment in the Philippines. Promoted to brigadier general on April 15, 1902, he accepted mandatory retirement after 39 years of military service a day later on April 16, 1902. Hooton's proposed promotion to brigadier general gained strong support from West Chester dignitaries as well as both U.S. Senators from Pennsylvania, Matthew Quay and Boies Penrose, who petitioned President Theodore Roosevelt to nominate Hooton for the promotion before he reached the Army's mandatory retirement age of 64. The U.S. Senate ultimately held a special executive session on April 15 to approve the nomination. Later life and death Hooton never married and had no children. He moved to Maine after his retirement and died on May 30, 1920, at the age of 82 in Gardiner, Maine. He was interred at Oaklands Cemetery. His papers are held in the collections of the Chester County History Center.

Serena of Rome

Serena of Rome is a legendary third-century martyr and saint listed in the Martyrologium Romanum. She is listed as the wife of Diocletian, however that claim is unproven and she has been removed from the calendar of saints. Background The Martyrologium Romanum states that her feast day is on August 16 and that she was the wife of Diocletian. Tradition has it that Serena was Diocletian's first wife, before he reached his highest office. A convinced and conscious Christian, when her husband learned of her faith, he repudiated her, perhaps fearing that the presence of a Christian at her side would jeopardize her political career. This may have led to her martyrdom. However, Serena's existence is considered doubtful. In De mortibus persecutorum, Lactantius states that Prisca and Valeria were the wife and daughter of Diocletian. The Monks of Ramsgate wrote in their Book of Saints (1921), According to tradition about Saints Marcellus and Susanna, Serena defended the Christians against the persecutions under her husband. She was cast out and suffered martyrdom. In the legend of Cyriacus, he is credited with exorcizing demons from two girls, one of whom was Artemisia (or Artemia), the daughter of Diocletian, which resulted in both Artemisia and her mother Serena converting to Christianity. According some sources, Serena did not die a martyr, but instead spent her days in exile in Magliano Sabina, in the Italian region of Lazio. She is the patron saint of and the in is dedicated to her. She is not mentioned in the current martyrology due to her legendary nature. See also Alexandra of Rome Prisca Bibliography References External links Santa Serena di Roma Saints from Roman Italy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasim%20Jahan

Nasim Jahan

Nasim Jahan (born: Nasim Shahnawaz, marital name: Nasim Akbar Khan) was a women's activist and a politician of the Pakistan Peoples Party. She was married to General Akbar Khan and played a key role, largely unknown, in the First Kashmir War. She was accused as a co-conspirator in the Rawalpindi Conspiracy Case but acquitted. Later she was became a founding member of the Pakistan Peoples Party and was elected to the National Assembly of Pakistan and contributed to the formulation of the Constitution of Pakistan. Nasim Jahan was the daughter of Mian Muhammad Shahnawaz and Begum Jahanara Shahnawaz of the elite Mian family of Baghbanpura. Family Nasim Jahan was born Nasim Shahnawaz in the prominent Mian family of Baghbanpura. Her parents Mian Muhammad Shahnawaz and Begum Jahanara Shahnawaz were both politicians, and so was her maternal grandfather Sir Muhammad Shafi. Begum Jahanara was one of the first Indian Muslim women to abandon the veil and pursue high education. She participated in the Round Table Conferences as the sole representative of Indian Muslim women. Nasim's elder sister Mumtaz Shahnawaz was also an activist and politician, who died in an air crash while on her way to represent Pakistan in the United Nations. Activism, 1947–1959 Nasim Shahnawaz married Colonel Akbar Khan, who became a decorated war hero in World War II. Nasim is often described as ambitious and well-connected, and having been a significant influence on Akbar Khan's activities. Her activism came to the fore soon after the Partition of India, during the Kashmir conflict. Akbar Khan, who was apparently part of a plan to capture Kashmir by invasion, wondered how to influence Pakistan's political leadership to back it. Soon he came in contact with Mian Iftikharuddin, a leader of the Muslim League in Punjab and a cousin of Nasim, and Sardar Ibrahim Khan, an activist of Kashmir's Muslim Conference who was looking to launch a rebellion against the Maharaja of Kashmir and seeking Pakistan's help. In a 12 September planning meeting with the prime minister Liaquat Ali Khan, both Iftikharuddin and Akbar Khan participated. After this meeting, Akbar Khan was barred from participating in Pakistan's covert action, but Nasim seems to have been closely involved. She attended a meeting in Murree towards the end of September, where Khurshid Anwar briefed the Muslim Conference activists about the invasion plan. On 23 October, the day after the tribal invasion was launched, she and the Commissioner of Rawalpindi Division, Khawaja Abdur Rahim, went to announce to Sardar Ibrahim that he was to be the President of the Azad Kashmir provisional government. During the evidence presented to a tribunal later in the 1950s, a witness mentioned that she and her sister (Mumtaz Shahnawaz) appeared to have "sponsored" Sardar Ibrahim to be the leader. After the first phase of the invasion, Akbar Khan was given the charge of commanding the invasion. He assumed the nom de guerre of 'General Tariq' and moved to Murree, where he lived with Nasim and established his operational headquarters. When Captain Wajahat Hussain visited the couple on one occasion, he found Akbar Khan talking in even tones, but Nasim is said to have loudly complained about lack of support from the government and the Army headquarters. After this assignment, Akbar Khan was sent to command the Kohat Brigade. The Kashmir War ended in a ceasefire on 1 January 1949. It is said that Nasim and Akbar Khan entertained lavishly in Kohat, inviting other military officers, and discussing world politics and government inefficiency. Akbar Khan is said to have openly canvassed for a military dictatorship. Nasim brought to the table her leftist and communist contacts, including Faiz Ahmad Faiz, who was said to be close a friend. The government was on to them before long, and a special Deputy Inspector General of police was assigned specifically to investigate the interactions between Faiz and Nasim. By 1951, Akbar Khan was promoted to Major General, and appointed as the Chief of General Staff. It is said that the new commander-in-chief, General Ayub Khan, kept him in the General Headquarters in order to monitor his activities. Between 9 and 10 March, Nasim and Akbar Khan, Faiz and several other army officers deemed to have been part of the conspiracy were arrested. A Special Tribunal conducted trials for what came to be known as the Rawalpindi Conspiracy Case, and delivered a verdict in January 1953. Nasim Akbar Khan was acquitted but Akbar Khan received a twelve-year prison sentence. Akbar Khan and Nasim were divorced in 1959. Afterwards, Nasim took "Jahan" as her last name. Activism in the 1970s Nasim Jahan was a founding member of the Pakistan People's Party, founded by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in 1967. During the 1970 general election, she motivated and mobilised Punjabi women, especially from Lahore, in democratic participation. She was elected to the National Assembly from a reserved constituency for women. She was selected by Bhutto, along with Begum Ashraf Abbasi, for the Constitution Committee, to formulate a new constitution for Pakistan. She fought for retaining the principle of female suffrage for the reserved women's seats, but was unsuccessful in carrying it through the National Assembly. But the constitution ensured some social and political rights to women through articles 25, 32, 34, 35 and 2238.

Political Disappointment

Political Disappointment: A Cultural History from Reconstruction to the AIDS Crisis is a nonfiction book by Sara Marcus. The book focuses on the Reconstruction era and the 20th century in the United States, conducting close readings of various works from the period to support the thesis that supporters of social justice experienced it as a succession of "political disappointments". Political Disappointment was published by Belknap Press in 2023. It was positively reviewed in The Nation and The Yale Review, though both reviewers desired further evidence to demonstrate the role of political disappointment in historical political organizing. Background Sara Marcus is a cultural critic and literary scholar. Marcus' first book, Girls to the Front, focused on the riot grrrl movement and was published in 2010. Her doctoral dissertation in English at Princeton University was titled "Political Disappointment: A Partial History of a Feeling"; she received her PhD in 2018. Political Disappointment: A Cultural History from Reconstruction to the AIDS Crisis was published by Belknap Press on May 30, 2023. Synopsis The main thesis of Political Disappointment is that supporters of social justice and political change have experienced the Reconstruction era and the 20th century in the United States as a succession of political disappointments, in which apparent opportunities for major change or revolution were suddenly closed off. She defines disappointment as "a persistent desire for an object that is less available than it previously had been". Marcus discusses the examples of Reconstruction and the Jim Crow laws, the Communist Party transition from the Third Period to the Popular Front, and the shift from classical civil rights movement organizing to Black power organizing in the face of white terrorism. Also discussed later in the book is second-wave feminism and its attempts to build a political coalition, as well as the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the United States. After providing historical information and context about each "political disappointment" she focuses on, Marcus conducts close readings of relevant works. When analyzing HIV/AIDS, she focuses on the art of Marlon Riggs and David Wojnarowicz. She explores Reconstruction through W. E. B. Du Bois' "Sorrow Songs" in The Souls of Black Folk, and discusses the Popular Front era alongside Tillie Olsen's writing and Lead Belly's music. Reception In December 2022, Publishers Weekly selected Political Disappointment as one of the top 10 "Essays and Literary Criticism" publications scheduled for Spring 2023. Ari Brostoff interviewed Marcus for Jewish Currents shortly after the book was published. In 2023, Lynne Feeley wrote a positive review of Political Disappointment in The Nation, praising Marcus' close readings while noting that she would have liked further discussion of how political disappointments have historically played a role in continued political organizing. Feeley also expressed appreciation of Marcus' treatment of disappointment as a "fundamentally generative" force in contrast to disillusionment or disavowal. Jennifer Ratner-Rosenhagen reviewed the book in The Yale Review alongside Costica Bradatan's In Praise of Failure. Ratner-Rosenhagen noted that Marcus' "limited and curated source material" does not fully support her claim that 20th century politics were consistently characterized by political disappointment. Still, Ratner-Rosenhagen praised Political Disappointment as having "the power to rouse readers out of their disenchantment".

Never (JID song)

"Never" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rapper JID, released on December 16, 2016, as the lead single from his debut studio album The Never Story (2017). It was produced by Christo and Childish Major. Background In a press statement, JID said he wrote the song "at a point in my life when I had nothing and when my future seemed uncertain. Throughout it all I had was my family and great people around me who allowed me to pen my pain and take a chance on pursuing my dreams." Composition The song finds JID describing the hard times in his life and what he lacked, stating he has "never been shit", "never had shit" and "never knew shit" among other things, as well as his perseverance and how he "never gave two shits". He concludes with the lyrics "make the crowd jump like Zoboomafoo". JID's performance of the song has been described as evoking Kendrick Lamar's style in the album Good Kid, M.A.A.D City. Critical reception Peter A. Berry of XXL commented the song is "basically the nimble wordsmith's casual resignation to a bleak lifestyle". Scott Glaysher of HipHopDX praised the song, writing "He really steps up his bravado on the million viewed hit 'NEVER'. Christo Welch and Childish Major provide the type of hypnotic beat that has the potential to choke slam you into the sunken place." Music video The music video was released on February 20, 2017. It begins with JID sitting alone in a "half-way broken down" bus, under flickering lights. He is then seen being beaten by a couple of police officers and is running from them by the end of the video.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy%20Escott

Lucy Escott

Lucy Escott (4 January 1829–26 November 1895) was an American soprano and actor-manager who found success in her native country but who had an even greater success in Europe and the United Kingdom. She spent eight years in Australia with the opera company of W. S. Lyster. Life Lucy Escott was born as Lucy Evans Grant in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1829, the daughter of Luther Grant and his wife Lorinda née Williams. She was trained in music from an early age, and was a successful teacher of music in Springfield in her teens. On 24 March 1846, aged 17, she married the British-born musician Richard Eastcott (1817–1880), who was teaching music in Springfield. From 1834, he had studied at the Royal Academy of Music in London and claimed to have played at the coronation of Queen Victoria in 1837. He emigrated to America in 1839, where he taught piano and violin in Worcester, Massachusetts and performed in local concerts. In 1845, 'Miss Grant, pupil of E. Hamilton'appeared in concert with him, and as 'Mrs Eastcott' appeared again with him in concert the month after they were married. Following her marriage, the couple moved to Providence, Rhode Island, and then to Albany, New York, where Lucy Eastcott sang at St Paul's Church alongside tenor Henry Squires. Eastcott and Squires sang together again in concert at Tripler's Hall in New York City. Move to Italy The Eastcotts decided to move to Italy to allow Lucy to further her studies, and the couple were settled in Florence by August 1852. Lucy was hired by the Teatro Nuovo in Naples as a soprano, and became a favorite there following her premiere on 10 January 1853 in Violetta, which Saverio Mercadante wrote expressly for her. While in Italy, her surname also became adjusted to Escott. Career in England After acquiring experience and confidence in the various opera-houses of Italy, her ambition led her to London. Here in June 1854 as 'Madame Lucia Escott' she appeared in a concert at the Hanover Square Rooms. On 2 December 1854, Lucy Eastcott gave birth to a son, Louis Edgar (died 1940), in Antony, Cornwell, the home of Richard Eastcott's family. In 1855 she made her London theatre debut at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in La donna del lago. In 1856 she was engaged to play Arline in The Bohemian Girl, Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor and Leonora in Il trovatore at Drury Lane opposite Augustus Braham as Manrico and Henri Drayton as the Conte di Luna. Other roles at this time included Battista's Esmeralda, Maritana, Aeolia in The Mountain Sylph and Amina in La sonnambula. When J. W. Wallack made a guest appearance Escott played one of the witches in his Macbeth. She sang Galatea in Acis and Galatea, Adina in L'elisir d'amore and sang Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor once more. These roles stamped her reputation, and after singing in the principal cities of the United Kingdom she visited the United States, and was enthusiastically received by her countrymen as a leading vocalist in the companies of Maurice Strakosch and Max Maretzek. In 1857 Escott joined the National English Opera Company, for whom she toured the British provinces in Il trovatore, Maritana, Lucia di Lammermoor, Esmeralda, The Bohemian Girl, Cinderella, Norma, Lucrezia Borgia and La traviata. In June 1857 the company played at the Surrey Theatre in London for about three months, including a controversial performance of La traviata in English. By 1858 she was the company's manager, and in September that year she took her now-named Escott English Opera Company to the United States for a three month season at Burton's Theatre in New York. However, William Evans Burton broke the contract after a week, and although he was after successfully sued for $4,000, Escott and her company were forced to tour in concerts and smaller opera houses in America for a year. In Australia In 1858 W. S. Lyster engaged her for an extended tour. This Lyster Opera Company had some success in the western states of America, and Lyster brought his company to Australia towards the end of 1860, where it remained for about eight years, giving performances of the operas of Italian, German, French and English composers, including Don Giovanni in 1861, and Les Huguenots in 1862. Eastcott became an immense favourite in Melbourne. Light or heavy, Italian or English, operas were all the same to her, and one of her most memorable triumphs was on the night of her benefit, when she took the part of Azucena in Il trovatore and electrified the house by her splendid singing and acting, to say nothing of the compass of her voice. Lyster took his Lyster Opera Company to San Francisco in the Alexander Duthie in August 1868; the tour was a failure from the start and Escott and Squires left Lyster's company while in America. Later years Lucy Escott and Henry Squires married in 1870 after having retired from the stage. As her husband Richard Eastcott was still alive in America a divorce must have been finalised. They eventually took up residence in Paris, where Lucy Escott devoted herself to the study of painting and sculpture with as much energy as she had previously infused into her operatic work; and the married life of the two vocalists was an ideally perfect one. Lucy Eastcott died of pneumonia supervening on an attack of quinsy on 26 November 1895, and was cremated according to her wishes and was buried in Père Lachaise Cemetery. On her death, Squires returned to his native Bennington, Vermont, where he died in 1907.

Der gelbe Bleistift

Der gelbe Bleistift. Reisegeschichten aus Asien () is a 2000 book by the Swiss writer Christian Kracht. It is a collection of travel writing originally published in Welt am Sonntag. Summary The book collects 20 pieces of Christian Kracht's travel writing originally published in a Welt am Sonntag column from 1992 to 1999. It mainly covers Southeast Asia and includes reflections on places including Phnom Penh, Peshawar, Vientiane, Tokyo and Yangon. Reception Henrike Thomsen of Der Spiegel called Kracht "a master of suggestion", who shows both amazement and respect for the contradictions he observes, and whose desire to be cool makes him describe also the most odd situations in a detached manner. Thomsen wrote that a fear of being confused with the tourists and old hippies Kracht encounters may be the reason for his "pseudo-aristocratic disgust", and that this disgust provides some insightful observations. Enno Stahl of Deutschlandfunk compared the book to Kracht's debut novel Faserland, where the narrator describes his observations with faux naivety, calling both books reminiscent of Walter Serner's dandy literature, where everything is a pose but manages to say things about the author. He wrote that Kracht "is not real pop culture", calling Kracht's comparisons between the arbitrary popular culture he participates in at home and his observations in Southeast Asia insightful. Stahl compared the texts to the essays of Botho Strauss but also called them forgettable. Christina Jung of wrote that the book avoids what is expected from the genre, such as personal impressions, tips for visitors or condemnations of Western imperialism. She called Kracht funny and knowledgeable, while showcasing a "non-committal, snobbish and shallow" attitude that is typical for his generation of German-language writers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayina-i%20Iskandari%20of%20Ahli%20Shirazi

Ayina-i Iskandari of Ahli Shirazi

The Ayina-i Iskandari (Alexandrine Mirror) of Ahli Shirazi is a Persian courtly version of the Alexander Romance literature, completed in 1543. The Ayina-i Iskandari was influenced by earlier Persian compositions about Alexander, including the Iskandarnameh of Nizami Ganjavi and even moreso an earlier text of the same name, the Ayina-i Iskandari of Amir Khusrau composed in the 13th century. It is roughly 2,300 verses in length and was dedicated to Tahmasp I, the mid-16th century Safavid Shah of Iran. Synopsis The work is divided into two sections (daftar). The first is much longer than the second, running 1,757 verses long. It revolves around the clash and subsequent peace between Alexander and the Khagan of China. Alexander's world conquest and journeys are quickly summarized as well, and then a love story between Alexander and the Chinese Amazon, following Amir Khusrau's representation. The second section is devoted to describing how Alexander protected the arts (including engineering, architecture, painting, and so on), erects a barrier against Gog and Magog (in the Islamic tradition of corresponding Alexander with the figure named Dhu al-Qarnayn in the Quran), builds a fortified city and oversees a contest between Chinese and Rumi painters. The painting competition is a version of an earlier story that first appears in an Arabic work known as the Ehyâ’ olum al-din by Al-Ghazali (d. 1111). In the final section, Alexander destroys pagan Greece and only Plato, Heraclides, and the physician Hippocrates survive. In the account of Amir Khusrau, the same occurs, except Porphyry survives in the place of Hippocrates. Editions Abdi Beyg Shirâzi, Âyin-e Eskandari, ed.
