# Small Fry (short story)

"Small Fry" (Russian: Мелюзга, romanized: Melyuzga) is a short story by Anton Chekhov originally published in Oskolki magazine (No. 12 issue), on 25 March [O.S. 12 March] 1885 25 and signed A. Chekhonte (А. Чехонте). It featured in all the 14 editions of Chekhov's collection Motley Stories (Пёстрые рассказы) first published in Saint Petersburg in 1886, and was included by Chekhov in Volume 3 of his Collected Works, published by Adolf Marks in 1899–1901.

## Synopsis

The petty clerk Nevyrazimov, sitting in his office on the Easter Eve in the company of a cockroach scurrying the table, muses upon what he might do to make it in the world (steal big money or perhaps report on somebody to the secret police) but comes to the conclusion that such deeds would be beyond his abilities. Disgusted with the feeling of his own unworthiness he takes it out on the cockroach and "feels better".
# Siege of Lier (1582)

The siege of Lier of 1582, also known as the capture of Lier or betrayal of Lier, took place between 1 and 2 August 1582 at Lier, near Antwerp (present-day in the Belgian province of Antwerp, Flemish Region, Belgium), during the Eighty Years' War and the Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604). On 2 August the Spanish army commanded by Governor-General Don Alexander Farnese, Prince of Parma (Spanish: Alejandro Farnesio), supported by part of the States garrison (a discontent group of Scottish troops led by Captain William Semple), captured and seized the town, defeating the rest of the Dutch, English and German troops under Governor of Lier. The entire garrison was killed or captured. The news of the Spanish victory at Lier was a shock to the States-General at Antwerp, where the sense of insecurity was obvious, and many of the Protestant citizens sold their houses and fled to northern Flanders.
The consequences of Semple's action were considerable because Liere was a strategic position, regarded as "the bulwark of Antwerp and the key of the Duchy of Brabant". The betrayal of Bruges in the following year by Colonel Boyd was probably prompted by his countryman's example. After a short visit to Prince Alexander Farnese at Namur, Semple was sent to Spain with a strong recommendation to King Philip II of Spain, who according to the Italian Jesuit Famiano Strada, handsomely rewarded him.
The next Spanish success was on 17 November, when the Spaniards led by Johann Baptista von Taxis (Spanish: Juan Baptista de Taxis) captured Steenwijk (taken by Dutch States forces on 23 February 1581) forcing the Protestant troops to surrender.

# Mohamad v. Palestinian Authority

Mohamad v. Palestinian Authority is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held the Torture Victim Protection Act of 1991(TVPA), 28 U.S.C. § 1350, applies exclusively to natural persons and does not impose liability against any organizational entity.

## Background

In 1995, Azzam Rahim, a naturalized American citizen, was arrested by intelligence officers of the Palestinian Authority while visiting the West Bank. He was detained in a prison in Jericho, where he died two days later. His body was returned to his family, showing evidence of torture, including cigarette burns and broken bones. In 1996, the U.S. Department of State confirmed that Rahim had died while in the custody of Palestinian Authority intelligence officers.

## Procedural history

In 2005, Rahim's widow and children filed a lawsuit against the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian Liberation Organization under the TVPA. The TVPA grants federal courts jurisdiction over lawsuits filed by foreign nationals for torts committed in violation of international law. It specifies that "an individual" can be held liable in a civil action for acts of torture or extrajudicial killing committed under the authority or color of the law of any foreign nation.
In September 2009, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed the suit, ruling that the TVPA applies exclusively to natural persons and does not extend liability to organizations.
The United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed the lower court's ruling in March 2011.
The U.S. Supreme Court granted the plaintiffs' petition for certiorari on October 17, 2011.

## Opinion of the Court

The Court unanimously held that, as used in the TVPA, the term "individual" encompassed only natural persons, and consequently, the TVPA did not impose liability against organizations. The Court affirmed the judgment of the lower courts.
The Court's decision hinged on the statute's use of the term "individual" as opposed to the term "person," which in U.S. law and statutes typically encompasses both individuals and organizations. The Court considered the term's ordinary meaning and the TVPA legislative history to interpret it. The court noted that the original draft of the TVPA used the word "person," however, during a U.S. House committee review, one of the bill's sponsors proposed an amendment to specify that the Act would apply solely to individuals, not corporations or organizations.
Justice Sotomayor delivered the Court's opinion, with Justice Scalia joining the majority opinion except for Part III-B. Justice Breyer filed a concurring opinion.

## Impact

Legal scholars criticized the decision, arguing that it creates significant obstacles for victims of torture seeking redress in U.S. courts. They contend that the ruling makes it nearly impossible for plaintiffs to recover damages unless they can identify the individual perpetrator and prove that the person acted as an agent of a government.
# Manipuri Brahmin

Manipuri Brahmins (Meitei: Manipuri Bamon) or Meitei Brahmins (Meitei: Meitei Bamon) are the Brahmins who speak the Manipuri language as their native tongue and mainly reside in the valley areas of Manipur.

## Description

Manipuri Brahmin origins stretch as far as Bengal, Odisha, Mithila, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and other parts of India. Each Brahmin family within the community belongs to a specific gotra indicating their origin.

## Ethnicity, origin and history

The recording of the migration of Brahmins from other parts of India, including Bengal, Mithila, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and Odisha to the Manipur Valley started from the 15th century. The appearance of Brahmins in Manipur in the 15th century may be due to the rise of Muslim power in Bengal. Followed by a steady stream of Brahmin migration to Manipur who were brought in based on their requirements after the adoption of Vaishnavism in Manipur. These Brahmins learned the Manipuri language, mixed the customs they brought in with the local customs which are acceptable to Brahmin culture, later inter-marrying with the local Manipuri women, and became a part of the larger Manipuri society.

Most Mikisew Cree First Nation members live in Fort McMurray, Edmonton, and Fort Chipewyan in Alberta and in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories.
According to former chief Lawrence Courtoreille, starting in 1944 many Dene people were induced by the government of to transfer their registration to the Mikisew band, including Courtoreille's own mother, leading to "a little over fifty percent" of the Mikisew Cree band members having some Dene heritage as of 2022. Dene people were denied access to hunting, fishing, and gathering within the boundaries of Wood Buffalo National Park unless they switched their registration, and were threatened with eviction from the Birch River settlement. In the end, Cree access to the park was restricted as well.

# Vladislaus III of Moravia

Vladislaus III, also called Vladislaus Henry III (c.1227 – 3 January 1247), was the margrave of Moravia and duke of Austria from 1246 until 1247.
Vladislaus was born around 1227. A member of the Přemyslid dynasty, he was the eldest son and heir of Wenceslaus I, King of Bohemia, and his wife Kunigunde, daughter of Philip of Swabia, King of Germany. His younger brother was the latter King Ottokar II. He was named after his uncle and great uncle, who were also margraves of Moravia. When his other uncle, Přemysl, died in 1239, Wenceslaus took control of Moravia. In 1246, he appointed Vladislaus margrave. Pope Innocent IV wrote a letter to Vladislaus on 24 November 1246 concerning the activity of the papal collector Gotfryd.
As Duke Frederick II of Austria was without a male heir, Wenceslaus sought to acquire the Duchy of Austria by arranging the marriage of Vladislaus with the late duke's niece Gertrude, daughter of Duke Henry II of Mödling, second son of Duke Leopold VI of Austria. Frederick was forced to consent to this arrangement under duress. In 1246, however, Frederick reneged, alleging that the couple was related within the prohibited degree. Wenceslaus obtained a dispensation from the pope. The wedding took place after Frederick's death later that year. He was recognized as duke and is so titled in contemporary Austrian sources. He received the homage of the Austrian nobility, but died suddenly on 3 January 1247, before he could take possession of the duchy. His death was most likely natural. He had no children in his short marriage. According to the Anonymous Austrian Chronicle:
The Annals of Prague give substantially the same account:
Vladislaus was succeeded in Moravia by his younger brother, who soon rebelled against their father. After his death, she married Prince Roman Danylovych. As a result, central Europe was plunged into the War of the Babenberg Succession.
