# Siege of Theodosia (c. 365 BC)

The siege of Theodosia was a siege carried out by Leukon I sometime after his accession to the Bosporan throne in around 365 BC. Satyrus I, the father of Leukon, had previously laid siege on Theodosia but died during it. The exact numbers of the forces in the siege aren't known.

## Siege

After becoming king of the Bosporan Kingdom in 389 BC, Leukon would later attack the city of Theodosia perhaps as revenge for the death of his father, who died at Theodosia that same year. Tynnichus, a probable Heracleote commander, was sent with a small force to relieve the siege, numbering less than 200 men.
Tynnichus managed to send three small boats under the cover of darkness, in which each boat had a trumpeter. He then had his trumpeters make the loudest din they could possibly do, taking care that at least two were playing at the same time so that it would sound much stronger than it actually was. The Bosporan army, upon hearing the sound of what should've been an army coming to relieve the city, fled.
He also successfully defeated the Bosporans as he managed to destroy their siege weapons at night. Leukon was forced to retreat back to Panticapaeum.

## Aftermath

Leukon retreated back to Panticapaeum shortly after Tynnicus lifted the siege. Due to his failure at Theodosia, he had to deal with a conspiracy against his life by his closest friends and advisors. He swiftly dealt with the conspiracy with the aid of merchants and sometime in 360 BC, he attacked the city of Theodosia again, starting another siege, but this time finally being able to take the city.

# Silena Holman

Silena Holman (née Moore; July 9, 1850 – September 18, 1915) was an American activist. She was a strong supporter of temperance and active in the Temperance movement and spoke out for women's rights. She was also a part on the "New Women" movement.

## Personal life

Silena Moore was born on July 9, 1850, near Lynchburg, Tennessee, and died September 18, 1915. She married Doctor T.P. Holman in January 1875.
Her father, Captain J. L. Moore, fought in the Civil War as a Confederate Army officer and died from battle wounds when she was only fourteen. The family had to sell their homestead to pay off accumulating debts; as the oldest, Holman took on the responsibility of caring for her three sisters and brother by earning a living as a teacher and within two years she was able to pay off the family debts.
Silena Moore met future husband Dr. T.P. Holman when he treated her for a severe illness in 1874. They were married a year later. The couple had eight children together.

## Career

For fifteen years, Holman was the president of the Tennessee Woman's Christian Temperance Union which membership exceeded 4,000.
She wrote for the Gospel Advocate. Her first article appeared in the February 1888 issue entitled, "Shall the Church Help the Saloon To Live?" in the article to encouraged church members to make nonintoxicating drinks for refreshment and even included her own recipe.
Also, in 1888 Holman wrote a letter to the editor of the Gospel Advocate; she was responding to an article by the editor David Lipscomb in which he argued that women do not have the authority to teach men on spiritual matters and therefore shouldn't teach mixed groups of men and women in church or smaller studies. In her response,"Let Your Women Keep Silent," Holman took a different stance from the common interpretation of Paul's command. This sparked a debate between her and the editors about the role of women in the church.

## Views

Silena supported the traditional view that husbands are the head of their households and wives first role is to support the family; however, she believed there was no reason to prevent women teaching on biblical topics and to support her claims she pointed to examples of women in the bible who were placed in positions of power by God.
In the 1890s, Silena aligned herself with "New Women" movement which supported women's suffrage, better education for women, and more opportunities for church leadership.
# Simmudo

Simmudo is a martial art created by Grandmaster Song Pan-Gong of Siheung, Gyeonggi Province, of South Korea. Officially founded in 1999, Simmudo, pronounced shim mu doh, literally means "the way of the martial heart".
The techniques of Simmudo can be broken into three categories, hoshinsul, chaesul and kwonsul.
The self-defense (hosinsul) techniques of Simmudo are similar to Hapkido in that they use a wide variety of wrist and arm locks, come-alongs, and tripping and throwing maneuvers designed to bind the opponent and force them off balance, often into a throw.
The throwing techniques that complement these maneuvers comprise the second category of Simmudo, chaesul. They are designed to quickly drop and pin the attacker. Also similar to Hapkido, the techniques most often keep the thrower in a ready position to quickly engage additional attackers.
Kwonsul, or striking techniques, is a power-based striking system with many similarities to Tang Soo Do and Taekwondo. This includes punching and kicking common to Taekwondo, as well as trapping and blocking strikes to disable and protect.

# Yamaguchi Sekkei

Yamaguchi Sekkei (Japanese: 山口雪渓) also known as Yamaguchi Sōsetsu (山口宗雪) (1644/48, Kyoto - 22 October 1732, Kyoto) was a Japanese artist of the middle Edo period. He sometimes went under the names Baian (梅庵) or Hakuin (白隠).

## Life and work

Although his year of birth is generally considered to be 1644, documents at Kiyomizu-dera suggest that it may have been 1648 or even 1649.
It has been said that he was a great admirer of the artists Muqi (Chinese:牧谿) or "Mokkei" in Japanese, and Sesshū (雪舟) and that he created his art name by combining characters from both of their names. It is also believed that he was a student of Kanō Einō.
He didn't paint in the prevailing styles of his time, but rather used traditional styles to create his own. Among his best known works are a pair of screens depicting "Autumnal Maples" in Daigo-ji, which were shown in Berlin in 1939 as part of the Exhibition of Japanese Art [de]. They are registered as an Important Cultural Property.
Also notable are the murals in the Myōshin-ji. They comprise fifteen landscapes with figures, sixteen scenes with flowers and birds and twelve portraits of Buddhist saints. They are not accessible to the public.

# Sacking of Bergen (1393)

The Sacking of Bergen in 1393 was one of two attacks on Bergen by the Victual Brothers, a former trading guild turned to piracy. The second attack was many years later, in 1429. The Victual Brothers raided the town, pillaged and looted goods and killed the garrison and possibly also civilians. After they had taken control they proceeded to burn down the town before leaving with their booty.
# Safe Streets Act

The Safe Streets Act, 1999 (SSA) (the act) is a statute in the province of Ontario, Canada. The act prohibits aggressive solicitation of persons in certain public places. It also prohibits the disposal of "certain dangerous things" such as used condoms, hypodermic needles and broken glass in outdoor public places. It also amends the Highway Traffic Act to regulate certain activities on roadways. The act was enacted by the Progressive Conservative government of Mike Harris and received royal assent on December 14, 1999.
The act was created in response to what was seen as the growing problem of squeegee kids on the streets. By 1999, it was very common to see squeegee kids on some of the busiest intersections where they would solicit motorists for spare change.
The act was affirmed by the Ontario Court of Appeal on a constitutional challenge after the Ontario Superior Court also upheld its validity in 2005. The Supreme Court of Canada has denied an application for review.
In 2004, the province of British Columbia passed its own version of the Safe Streets Act, substantially a word-for-word copy of the Ontario version.

## Criticism

The act has been criticized by many anti-poverty groups such as OCAP (Ontario Coalition Against Poverty) for being too strict and too vague in how it defines aggressive panhandling. The bill states that "aggressive manner" means "a manner that is likely to cause a reasonable person to be concerned for his or her safety or security." This could mean almost anything as different people have different standards for when their own safety has been compromised. The act has also been criticized by The Homeless Hub, which argues that it is bad policy and practice for reasons including that issuing tickets to homeless people is a counter-productive way of dealing with a poverty issue, as homeless persons cannot pay SSA fines, and that the Safe Streets Act is not cost-effective.
The act was protested by a group of one hundred homeless in May 2006 in Ottawa who mostly identified themselves as anarchists. The march and protest was organized by the Ottawa Panhandlers' Union, a local branch of the Ottawa-Outaouais Industrial Workers of the World.

# Yashovarman II (Chandela dynasty)

Yashovarman (IAST: Yaśovarman; reigned c. 1164-1165 CE), also called Yashovarman II to distinguish him from the earlier Yashovarman I, was a member of the Chandela dynasty of central India. He is believed to have ruled the Jejakabhukti region (Bundelkhand in present-day Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh) for a short period.
Yashovarman was a son of the Chandela king Madanavarman. He is mentioned in the Bateshvar inscription of his own son Paramardi-deva, but other Chandela inscriptions do not mention his name in the list of Chandela kings. According to historian S. K. Mitra, the Bateshvar inscription clearly indicates that Yashovarman ascended the Chandela throne, even if for a very short period. It describes Yashovarman as "an ornament of great rulers causing joy to the people". Mitra theorizes that the other inscriptions omit his name because his short reign did not see any notable achievement.
Historian R. K. Dikshit, on the other hand, believes that the epithet "ornament of great rulers" is mere rhetoric. There is hardly any difference between the last known date of Yashovarman's father Madanavarman (1063 CE) and the earliest known date of his son Paramardi-deva (1066 CE). The inscriptions other than the Bateshvar inscription, including those issued by Paramardi, suggest that Paramardi succeeded Madanvarman. It is possible that Yashovarman died while his father Madanvarman was still alive.
According to the medieval legendary text Paramala Raso, Paramardi ascended the Chandela throne at the age of 5 years, which suggests that Yashovarman died prematurely.

# Sail batten

On sailboats, a sail batten is a flexible insert in a sail, parallel to the direction of wind flow, that helps shape its qualities as an airfoil. Battens are long, thin strips of material, historically wooden but today usually fiberglass, vinyl, or carbon fiber, used to support the roach of a sail. They are also used on tall ships to form the ladders up the shrouds in a fashion similar to ratlines.

## History

Battened sails are commonly found in junk ship. A junk is an ancient Chinese sailing ship design that is still in use today. Iconographic remains show that Chinese ships before the 12th century used square sails. A ship carving from a stone Buddhist stele shows a ship with square sail from the Liu Sung dynasty or the Liang dynasty (ca. 5th or 6th century). Dunhuang cave temple no. 45 (from the 8th or 9th century) features large sailboats and sampans with inflated square sails. A wide ship with a single sail is depicted in the Xi'an mirror (after the 9th or 12th century). Eastern lug sail, which used battens and is commonly known as "junk rig", was likely not Chinese in origin: The oldest depiction of a battened junk sail comes from the Bayon temple at Angkor Thom, Cambodia.$^{:460–461}$ From its characteristics and location, it is likely that the ship depicted in Bayon was a Southeast Asian ship.$^{:188–189}$ The Chinese themselves may have adopted them around the 12th century CE.$^{:21}$ Their rigs featured full-length battens that facilitated short-handed sail handling, including reefing.

## Applications in sails

The most common use of sail battens is in the roach of a mainsail. The batten extends the leech past the line that runs from the head and the clew of the sail to create a wider sail towards the top. Cruising sailboats may have four to six battens. Racing sailboats may have full-length battens, as well, that allow for better sail shape. Batten length near the head of the sail is limited by the need for the roach to pass ahead of the backstay, when tacking or jibing. Battens are also found in jibs of beach-cat catamarans.

## Batten materials and construction

Most modern battens are fiberglass pultrusions with a thin, rectangular cross section. An alternative shape is a hollow tube that rotates in the batten pocket and is more compatible with roller furling the mainsail. Because the ends of battens are likely to chafe the sail at the ends of the pockets into which they are inserted, they often have a soft, blunt shape affixed to them.
