Siegel's subsequent auctions included world-famous classic postage stamps. In 1970 and 1980, he sold the unique British Guiana 1c magenta, for record prices.

## Philatelic activity

Siegel remained active in the American Stamp Dealers Association and served on its board for twelve years. As an expert on rarities, Siegel supported the Philatelic Foundation with his advice and support.

## Honors and awards

Siegel received the Mortimer Neinken Medal in 1987 and was named Man of the Year by the American Stamp Dealers Association in 1990. He was named to the American Philatelic Society Hall of Fame in 1994.
# Theodoros Disseris

Theodoros Disseris (born 31 January 1975) is a Swiss-Greek former footballer who played in the 1990s and 2000s as defender.
Disseris played his youth football with BSC Old Boys and in 1992 advanced to their first team, who at that time played in the Nationalliga B, the second tier of Swiss football.
Disseris joined Basel's first team for their 1995–96 FC Basel season under head-coach Claude Andrey. Disseris played his domestic league debut for the club in the home game in the St. Jakob Stadium on 4 October 1995 as Basel won 1–0 against Young Boys.
Disseris stayed with the club for four seasons, but he never really broke into the team and was mainly used as substitute. Disseris played a total of 44 games for Basel without scoring a goal. 21 of these games were in the Nationalliga A, one in the Swiss Cup one in the UEFA Intertoto Cup and 21 were friendly games.
After his time with Basel, Disseris moved on to play three years for Winterthur, who at that time played in the Nationalliga B. In the middle of this time he was also loaned out for six months to SC Cham one league lower. Disseris returned to Winterthur and became regular starter in the team. During the summer break in 2001 Disseris returned to Basel, but did not play in the first team and so in the winter break he moved on to play the second half of the 2001–02 season for Kriens. Disseris then moved on to play one season for Grenchen and retired from professional football.
Disseris ended his active football playing at least three seasons for SC Dornach.
Since March 2018 Disseris is working as material manager for the foundation Youth Campus Basel in Münchenstein.

Nnadi's works have been published in many reputable mediums including Poetry Magazine, Fantasy Magazine, New Orleans Review, Poetry Ireland Review, Descant, Suburban Review, River Heron Review, North Dakota Quarterly, Lunaris Review, Quarterly West, Nonbinary Review, The Capilano Review, Gutter Magazine, Fourteen Hills, Rough Cut Press, Lolwe, Uncanny, The Quill, Agbówo, among others.

Reviewing Nature Knows A Little About Slave Trade in The Republic, the Nigerian critic Ancci recognises Nnadi's poetic distinction. The conclusion of the review reads:
"From such poets as Nome Patrick Emeka to Samuel Adeyemi, the bulk of new Nigerian poetry is characterized by self-expression. Although while embedded in the same literary culture, Samuel's temperament cannot be so provincially defined. His poetry, taken together, is an expansion of our new poetry for the straightforward but nonetheless interesting reason that he seems to have found a distinctive way of articulating his personal, if sometimes imagined, history while, at the same time, effusing their universal contexts quite decisively and seamlessly."

# This Law of Ours and Other Essays

This Law of Ours and Other Essays is a book written by Muhammad Asad, first published by Dar al-Andalus, Gibraltar in 1987. The book is a collection of Asad's writings, lectures and radio broadcasts—some written as far back as the 1940s—which aims to clarify some of the confusion in the Muslim Ummah about the scope and practical implications of Islamic law.
The book's preface was written by Pola Hamida, Asad's wife, who first gathered his writings and radio talks and persuaded him to publish a book. In the preface, Hamida points out that the reader will be struck "not only by the extraordinary timeliness and timelessness of these thoughts and predictions, but also by their great consistency."

## Argument

Asad points out what is incumbent on a Muslim: namely, belief in the "Oneness of God" — indivisible in His existence, unattainable by human thought, all-embracing in His wisdom and power — and in the apostleship of Muhammad.
A large portion of the book elaborates on Islamic and western civilization and Muslim law. In particular, it deals with the role of ijtihad and the creative outlook of Muhammad's companions and the great jurists of the past, on the necessity for independent thinking grounded in the Qur'an and the Sunnah of Muhammad. It also contains the author's perspective on the ideological basis of Pakistan as well as on Islam's encounter with the west.

## Table of contents

The essays contained in the book represent Asad's work and thought from the mid-1940s to 1987. The following essays are included:
* This Law Of Ours
   * Prolegomena
   * A Time of Change
   * Talking of Muslim Revival

# Aluka

Aluka was an online digital library focused on Africa-related material. It focused on globally connecting scholars by building a common platform for online collaboration and knowledge sharing. Aluka's intended audience was higher education and research communities.
Aluka was an initiative of Ithaka Harbors, a non-profit organization focused on incubating promising new projects that use technology for the benefit of higher education. It aims to grow successful projects into independent services or adjoined to larger, existing organizations for the academic community. In June 2008, the Ithaka and JSTOR Trustees approved a recommendation that the Aluka initiative be integrated into JSTOR.
Founded in 2003, Aluka was an initiative of Ithaka, a non-profit organization based in New York City and Princeton, New Jersey. The initial funding was provided by the Mellon Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the Stavros S. Niarchos Foundation.
The first release of Aluka took place in early February 2007 with preview access to JSTOR subscribers. Aluka was made free to all academic and other not-for-profit institutions in Africa.
The name 'Aluka' is derived from a Zulu word meaning 'to weave'.
Aluka sought to attract other collections of scholarly interest from institutions and individuals worldwide. By bringing materials together, it created new opportunities for research and collaboration. Documents and materials that were previously hard or impossible to access were made globally available to researchers.

## Content

The Aluka digital library was focused on three major areas:
* African Plants Initiative: Collection of African plants specimens and related material funded by the Mellon Foundation, which was migrated to JSTOR
* Cultural Heritage: 3D models, panorama tours, plans, sections, and elevation data derived from the 3D models and a collection of photographs documenting African heritage sites, which were created and provided by the Zamani Project. This collection includes the Djingereyber mosque in Timbuktu, the great mosque of Djenne, the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, Petra, the Swahili ruins on Kilwa Kisiwani and Sonog Mnara, the Lamu fort, the Shela mosque, Elmina Castle, Fort of São Sebastião, and many more. This content area also includes a large collection of African Rock Art.
* Struggles for Freedom: Documents, images, and other materials documenting the liberation struggles in Southern Africa, including those from Angola, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe.

# José Luis Caso Cortines

José Luis Caso Cortines (Comillas April 15, 1933 – Irun December 11, 1997) was a Spanish politician, a victim of ETA.

## Biography

José Luis Caso Cortines was born in Comillas in a large family. Even though he was born in Cantabria, he moved to the Basque Country at the age of 22 in the 50s. He was the founder of Alianza Popular in the Basque country in 1982. Later, he was President of the People's Party of Irun as well as Councillor there, where he was living.
Jose Luis was retired and had been working as a councillor for the People's Party (PP) in Renteria ( Guipuzcoa) since 1995. The attack took place at the end of 1997. He also belonged to the Board of Directors of Guipuzcoa's PP and the Board of Directors of PP of the Basque Country. He was a married man with two children and a granddaughter. At the time of the murder, he was 64 years old of age.
His successor in office, Manuel Zamarreño Villoria, was murdered a few months later, in June 1998.

### Murder

In December 1997, ETA members Francisco Javier García Gaztelu, alias Txapote, Irantzu Gallastegui Sodupe, alias Amaya, Sebastián Lara Mendiaraz, Alfonso Sebastian Iriarte, Jesus Maria Lombide Lorente, Maria Cristina Gete Echevarria and Ana Belén Egües Gurruchaga formed part of the Donosti command. They had intended to attack PP and Spanish Socialist Workers' Party councillors in the Basque Country. On December 11, 1997, José Luis Caso was in Trinche bar in Irun. He used to go there every day. He was located at the back of the bar having a drink. At 22:54, Jose Luis was approached by an individual who fired at him, reaching the right parieto-temporo-occipital. José Luis died instantly from this shot.
The shooter, whose identity was not identified, threatened five customers and the owner of the bar with a revolver to ensure they would not follow him. After the police officers arrived, the judge of guard ordered the lifting of the corpse around 0:30 p.m. The following day, thousands of people marched in San Sebastian in protest against this murder.
The Third Section of the Criminal Chamber of the National Court issued the judgment nº 44/2006, dating back to June 30, 2006. The accused were acquitted of the crime of murder, which they were accused of by the public prosecutor, due to lack of proof.
After this attack, there was no claim of responsibility by ETA in the following days. However, the judgement was that they were responsible.

# Wisma Putra

2°55′34″N 101°41′35″E﻿ / ﻿2.92611°N 101.69306°E﻿ / 2.92611; 101.69306
Wisma Putra is a metonym for the Malaysian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is also the name of the RM170 million Ministry of Foreign Affairs complex located at the country's administrative capital, Putrajaya.
The name Wisma Putra was given to the original Ministry of Foreign Affairs building in Jalan Wisma Putra, Kuala Lumpur back in 1966. The name "Putra" was given in honor of Malaysia's father of Independence, Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, since the Ministry stood on the site of the official residence of the Chief Minister of the Federation of Malaya. On 1 February 2001, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad officially announced Putrajaya as Malaysia's third federal territory, and the entire Ministry moved to Putrajaya on 17 September 2001.
When the Ministry eventually moved to a bigger complex in Putrajaya, it carried the name Wisma Putra to Putrajaya.
The current Minister of Foreign Affairs is Mohamad Hasan. His office is in Wisma Putra.

# Weyl sequence

In mathematics, a Weyl sequence is a sequence from the equidistribution theorem proven by Hermann Weyl:
The sequence of all multiples of an irrational α,
       0, α, 2α, 3α, 4α, ...
    is equidistributed modulo 1.
In other words, the sequence of the fractional parts of each term will be uniformly distributed in the interval [0, 1).

## In computing

In computing, an integer version of this sequence is often used to generate a discrete uniform distribution rather than a continuous one. Instead of using an irrational number, which cannot be calculated on a digital computer, the ratio of two integers is used in its place. An integer k is chosen, relatively prime to an integer modulus m. In the common case that m is a power of 2, this amounts to requiring that k is odd.
The sequence of all multiples of such an integer k,
       0, k, 2k, 3k, 4k, …
    is equidistributed modulo m.
That is, the sequence of the remainders of each term when divided by m will be uniformly distributed in the interval [0, m).
The term appears to originate with George Marsaglia’s paper "Xorshift RNGs". The following C code generates what Marsaglia calls a "Weyl sequence":
       d += 362437;
In this case, the odd integer is 362437, and the results are computed modulo m = 2$^{32}$ because d is a 32-bit quantity. The results are equidistributed modulo 2$^{32}$.
