# Altar of Consus

The Altar of Consus (Latin: Ara Consi) was an ancient Roman altar dedicated to the gods Consus and Mars, as well as the lares, which were ancient Roman household guardians. It was located beneath the Circus Maximus. The altar may have also served as the first turning post of the Circus Maximus. It is possible the subterranean location of this altar is connected to the Roman practice of storing wheat underground and specifically paralleled by the ancient mundus of Ceres supposedly instituted by Romulus at the founding of the city. This is in turn associated with the modern interpretation of Consus as an agrarian deity. Dionysus of Halicarnassus wrote that some ancient Romans believed the altar was located underground because they thought that the god Consus corresponded to Poseidon, who was also a god of earthquakes. He also claims that other Romans believed that the altar was dedicated to an unamenable god who presided over hidden councils. This explanation is associated with the ancient connections between Consus and secrecy and hidden councils. Tacitus mentions the altar as a landmark of his conjectural reconstruction of the pomerium, the sacred border of the city of Rome proper, as originally established by Romulus's sulcus primigenius.
The site was covered for most of the year, although it was uncovered during religious occasions for sacrifices and rituals. Roman author Tertullian stated that public priests made sacrifices at the altar on 7 July during the Caprotinia. He also wrote that the Flamen Quirinalis and a group of virgins, potentially the Vestal Virgins, made sacrifices at the altar on 21 August. This was in celebration of the Consualia, a Roman holiday which honored Consus. As part of this holiday, games commemorating the Rape of the Sabine Women were held at this altar.
Tertullian wrote that it bore an inscription which read:
   Consus consilio, Mars duello, Lares coillo potentes
This translates to:
   Consus is mighty in counsel, Mars in war, the Lares in coillo
This inscription may not be authentically archaic. Many modern scholars are critical of the potential etymological link between Consus and consilium, the Latin word for counsel. The German classical philologist Georg Wissowa argued that in a genuine ancient inscription from this time period the names of the gods would be expected to be in the dative case, not in the nominative, which is the case used in the inscription. Theodor Mommsen, a German classical scholar, believed that Tertullian may have incorrectly transcribed the Latin words coitu or cubiclo when he utilized the word coillo. Alternatively, it may have been a transcription of the Greek word for the Lacus Curtius. Coillo could possibly be a synonym of Compito. The Latin word compito means crossroads, and the Lares were frequently worshipped at these crossroads. Similarly, consilio has been theorized to be a misreading of consivio, meaning "gathering of the harvest." This theory has been criticized for being unsupported by Tertullian, who appears to have directly derived the word consilio from his source.
# Wilfred Sanders

Wilfred Sanders (4 April 1910 – 22 May 1965) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket between 1928 and 1934 for Warwickshire. He was born in Chilvers Coton, Warwickshire, and died in Nuneaton, also in Warwickshire.
Sanders was a right-handed lower-order batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who played as a professional. He first appeared in first-class cricket in the 1928 season and was identified in the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack report on Warwickshire for that season as "a player of real promise". He played in a dozen matches that season and against Northamptonshire he took four first-innings wickets for 44 runs and these were the best bowling figures of his career: he never achieved five wickets in an innings.
Sanders was again an irregular player in the 1929 season, but in both 1930 and 1931 he held a regular place in the Warwickshire side, though his batting and bowling figures indicate that he rarely made the headlines. In 1930, he had his only days of batting success. Against Yorkshire, batting at No 11, he joined Reg Santall with Warwickshire still 30 runs short of avoiding an innings defeat and proceeded to hit 54 in a last-wicket partnership of 128 that was a Warwickshire record at the time. Four weeks later, under less pressure in the first innings of a run-heavy match, Sanders and Santall all but repeated the feat, putting on 126 for the ninth wicket against Nottinghamshire, and Sanders' 64 was his highest score. He maintained his place in the team throughout 1931, but his bowling was not effective, with just 29 wickets in his 23 games at the high average of 43.93 runs per wicket.
After that, Sanders' first-class cricket career petered out. In both 1932 and 1933, he was again an infrequent player and he played his last first-class game in 1934, though he was in the Warwickshire second eleven up to 1937.
# Dickie Brooks

Richard Alan Brooks (born 14 June 1943), known as Dickie Brooks is an English former cricketer who played first-class cricket for Oxford University and Somerset.

# Pindikuthi Perunnal

Pindikuthi Perunnal (Malayalam: പിണ്ടികുത്തി പെരുന്നാൾ) or Rakkuli Perunnal (Malayalam: രാക്കുളി പെരുന്നാൾ) is a traditional and important festival of Saint Thomas Christians celebrated on 6 January. Pindikuthi Perunnal is the Saint Thomas Christian counterpart of Denha (Baptism of Jesus) in Eastern church and Epiphany in Western Church. The liturgical season Denha Kaalam (Epiphany season) begins with the Sunday nearest to Pindikuthi Perunnal.

## Etymology

The term Pindikuthi is a compound Malayalam word composed of pindi (പിണ്ടി) which means "trunk of the plantain tree" and kuthi (കുത്തി) which is the past simple form of kuthal that means "to prick or pierce". Therefore, Pindikuthi means "to prick or pierce the plantain trunk". Rakkuli literally means "bath in the night"

## Celebrations, rituals and practices

A specially decorated plantain trunk is erected in front of houses with many torches attached to it. On the previous night of Denha celebration, family members used to go around it singing a Syriac hymn "El Payya", which means "God is radiant". Special dishes are prepared during this time, especially meat dishes. Some parishes organise competitions for the best decorated plantain. There are special prayers conducted in certain churches.
Saint Thomas Christians certain areas such as Palai and Pulincunnoo used to perform a ritual bath (in imitation of the Baptism of Jesus Christ in the River Jordan) on the previous night (ravu) of the feast of Denha in the rivers flowing near the churches in these localities after the solemn celebration of Ramsha, the Evening Liturgy.
Pindikuthi Perunnal (sometimes erroneously called Pindi Perunnal) is a prominent celebration in areas such as Irinjalakuda and Kunnamkulam. Most of the people in Irinjalakuda regardless the caste and creed await the festival for at least two or three months in advance. The main celebrations will start on the morning of previous day. The start of the festival is heralded by drumming which goes through the main roads of Irinjalakuda. This starts frenzied activities starting from preparing the right plantain in front of the house. placing a right plantain decorated in front of the house is a prestigious issue for every house owner.
There are also "Sacred Arrow" processes for each family unit, which starts on Saturday. The "Sacred Arrow" is to commemorate the arrows which pierced the body of Saint Sebastian. This is brought to each home to be venerated by the house members, to make offerings. This Sacred Arrow is escorted to the decorated chariots after sometime accompanied by a lot of fireworks. These happen mainly on Saturdays and Mondays.
The main festival is on Sunday. Everyone sporting a new dress eagerly participates in the procession or awaits it. The main procession starts by around 3:00 pm accompanied by prayers, and is preceded by heavy fireworks. People flock from various places to share the festivities.

# Col Maxwell

Colin Maxwell (1917–2001) was an Australian international rugby league footballer whose career ran from the 1930s to the 1950s. He was a centre for the Australian national team in one Test in 1948 in which he captained the side.

## Club career

Born in Lismore in northern New South Wales he played for Bowraville and Coffs Harbour and in Country representative sides. He joined Wests Newcastle in 1938. He came to Sydney in 1940 for one season with the St George Dragons. After World War II he played for the Western Suburbs Magpies for a season, then returned to Newcastle to captain-coach Wests Newcastle in 1946-47 before another two Sydney seasons with the Magpies in 1948–49.

## War service

He spent three years from 1942 -1945 in the RAAF as a leading aircraftmen and appeared in a number of armed forces rugby league exhibition matches.

## Representative career

1948 was the sole year of Maxwell's controversial representative career. His only state appearance for New South Wales was in the first match of that year's interstate series against Queensland.
When the Australian Test side was chosen for the domestic series against New Zealand Maxwell was named as a reserve back and did not figure in the Tests. He had been dropped from the New South Wales squad before the end of the interstate series and on the night the Kangaroo Tour side was announced Maxwell wasn't in Sydney with the other representative hopefuls having already left on a train bound for Newcastle. Inexplicably Maxwell was not only selected to the tour squad but was named captain and was expected to take on the duty of coaching the squad during the tour of England and France.
Whilst Maxwell was a reliable centre whose career had been interrupted by the war and injuries the mystery concerned how the incumbent Test captain Len Smith who one week earlier had led the Kangaroos to victory over New Zealand was suddenly not good enough to fit into the 28 man touring squad. Theories abounded regarding either religious bigotry from the selectors or coaching politics. See Selection controversy in Len Smith.
Due to injury and illness Maxwell did not play in the first Test loss against Great Britain at Leeds. He played in 11 minor tour matches and captained Australia in the second Test at Swinton which Great Britain won 16–7. Although Maxwell was a popular captain on Tour the match results were not good. He is listed on the Australian Players Register as Kangaroo No.262. He did not represent at state or national level again.
Maxwell's final seasons were as captain-coach of Maitland from 1950 -1952. After football, he ran a newsagency.

# Al-Kafat

Al-Kafat (Arabic: الكافات) is a Syrian village located in the Salamiyah Subdistrict of the Salamiyah District of the Hama Governorate. According to the Syria Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), al-Kafat had a population of 1,893 in the 2004 census. Its inhabitants are predominantly Ismailis.

## History

Al-Kafat was founded in 1870 by Ismaili peasants from Akkar in modern-day northern Lebanon. They initially began farming in the area surrounding al-Kafat, but mostly lived in nearby Salamiyah, the center of Ismaili life in Syria. The Akkari Ismailis of Salamiyah were forced off their land in the mid-19th century on the orders of the Ismaili emir (prince) of the city, who gave the land confiscated from them to his relatives. Part of the Akkaris returned to Akkar, while others went on to eventually establish al-Kafat, which became a prosperous suburb of Salamiyah.

# Chen Yongqiang (footballer)

Chen Yongqiang (simplified Chinese: 陈永强; traditional Chinese: 陳永強; pinyin: Chén Yǒngqiáng; born November 1, 1978, in Dalian, Liaoning) is a Chinese former professional football player.

## Club career

Originally starting his career for Bayi Football Team he could not break into the squad and found it difficult to join another team until Shenzhen Ping'an Kejian took him on in October 1999 to begin his professional football career. He would go on to make debut during the 2000 league season and go to make ten league appearances, scoring one goal during the season. With his good physical presence and excellent composure he would firmly establish himself within the Shenzhen team and become their main defensive midfielder within the team. By the 2004 league season his consistency would be rewarded when he helped Shenzhen win the inaugural Chinese Super League title.
After this success he would receive his first international call-up, however on June 11, 2005, he was severely attacked at a restaurant on a night out with his wife and her family, with his injuries he would miss much of the 2005 league season. When he returned to Shenzhen he found that the club had changed significantly with many of his influential team mates leaving due to the financial problems at the club while Chen remained with team for the next several seasons to help them fight off relegation. With several managers coming in fight off relegation Chen found himself slipping down the pecking order within the team with the 2009 league season being the difficult period for Chen after he fell out of favour within the team and only played a small part within the campaign. When the season ended the club decided not to renew his contract, however he was recommended to Shanghai Shenhua where despite being over 31 years old and one of the oldest players within the squad he would still quickly establish himself as regular within the team. While he gained significant playing time out of position within defence at the start of the season, his importance within the team would dwindle throughout the season and Chen was allowed to leave for second tier football club Tianjin Runyulong at the beginning of the 2011 league season.
