# Varima-te-takere

In Cook Islands mythology, Varima-te-takere ("goddess of the beginning") also called Vari (/ˈvɑːri/ VAH-ree), was the primordial mother of the gods and mortals.
According to Gill, Vari, a female spirit or demon of flesh and blood, was admitted to the lowest depth of the interior of Avaiki, a place described as resembling a vast hollow coconut shell. Such is the narrowness of her territory that her knees and chin touch, no other position is possible. Her name in full, Vari-ma-te-takere, Gill translates as "The very beginning". The word vari, however, also means "mud", and, taken in conjunction with takere (canoe bottom or keel), the name literally means "The mud at the bottom"; suggesting the mud on the bottom of Avaiki. Vari is the mud of taro swamps and connotes potential plant growth. As applied to a female, it means menstruation. It conveys a connection with the female womb and the origin of human growth. The following passage from a dramatic song of creation (circa 1790) mentions Vari:
   But we have no father whatever: Vari alone made us. That home of Vari is The very narrowest of all! Vari's home is in the narrowest of spaces, A goddess feeding on raw taro At appointed periods of worship! Thy mother, Vatea, is self-existent.
Vari was very anxious for progeny. At various times she created six children, three bits of flesh were plucked from each side of her body, and moulded into human form. These six are the primary gods of the universe. Yet no marae or image was ever sacred to them, nor was any offering made to them. These gods are: Vatea (or Avatea), the father of gods and men; Tinirau, lord of the seas; Tango, lord of the birds; Tumu-te-ana-oa, an echo of the rocks; Raka, lord of the winds; and Tu-metua, a beloved daughter whom Vari kept close to her in Avaiki. Tu-metua (or Tu-papa) was the tutelary deity of the island of Moorea, and the fourteenth night in every moon was sacred to her.
# Moody Street Historic District

The Moody Street Historic District is a historic commercial district at Moody and Crescent Streets in Waltham, Massachusetts. It consists of eight commercial properties facing Moody Street as it runs south from the Charles River toward Newton. The area was developed between about 1880 and 1950, and is a reminder of the city's economic prosperity in that time. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
One of the most prominent buildings in the area is the Cronin's Landing complex, located at the north end of the district between Crescent Street and the river. This architecturally eclectic building was built in stages between 1879 and 1930, serving most notably as a department store. Predominantly Art Deco in its styling, it also has Panel Brick and Colonial Revival elements. It has been rehabilitated into residences on the upper floors and retail space on the first floor.
The building at the northeast corner of Moody and Pine Streets (240-254 Moody) is the only single-story building in the district. It was built in the 1930s, and features modern storefronts separated by ziggurat-style stone piers. Across Pine Street stands a two-story Georgian Revival building (266-274 Moody), built c. 1900. It also has modern storefronts, with Doric piers in between, and an unaltered second story facade. At the southeastern corner of the district stands the four story brick Romanesque Revival building built for the Ancient Order of United Workers in 1887.
The southwest corner of the district is anchored by the Art Deco F. W. Woolworth building, built 1948–49; the storefront still shows evidence of its use as a Woolworth store, and is one of the city's finer examples of Art Deco styling. Next to this building stands the Lincoln building, a Romanesque Revival structure built in 1887 that once housed the Adams Department Store. A small modern brick building stands north of the Lincoln building, and does not contribute to the district's significance. The Hall building, a two-story brick Georgian Revival building, anchors the southwest corner of Moody and Crescent Streets, across Crescent Street from the Cronin building.

# Mario Levi

Mario Levi (25 February 1957 – 31 January 2024) was a Turkish novelist, journalist and scholar with a focus on modern Turkish literature.

## Biography

Mario Levi was born in Istanbul on 25 February 1957. He graduated from Saint Michel High School in 1975 and from Istanbul University Faculty of Literature French Language and Literature Department in 1980. His first articles were published in the newspaper "Şalom". These were followed by his other articles in the publication organs like "Cumhuriyet", "Studyo Imge", "Milliyet Sanat", "Gosteri", "Argos", "Gergedan", "Varlik".
His first published book was "Jacques Brel: A Lonely Man" (1986). This book is a novelized version of his university graduation thesis. His first book of short stories, "Not Being Able to Go to a City" was published in 1990. These autobiographical stories are an account of the writer with both his loves, his childhood and preteen years. The book won the Haldun Taner Story Prize of the year. His second book of short stories, "Madame Floridis May Not Return" published in 1991, includes people in Istanbul who are having difficulty in adapting to their own minority group and to society. In 1992, his first novel, "Our Best Love Story," was published. Then a long silence took place.

## Reception

Historian Marc David Baer states that Levi "creates characters that are far more believable than the stereotypical tolerant Turks, grateful Jews, and anti-Semitic Armenians and Greeks long propagated by historians."
# The Steamship Appam

The Steamship Appam, 243 U.S. 124 (1917), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court affirmed a lower court's decision to restore the British prize of a German warship to the British owners.

## Background

On January 15, 1916, the British steamship SS Appam was captured off the Canary Islands by the German auxiliary cruiser SMS Möwe. A 22-man prize crew, and 138 passengers taken from other captured ships, were put aboard and she was taken to Hampton Roads, Virginia, arriving on February 1. Appam's British owner, the British and African Steam Navigation Co, filed suit to recover possession of her from her captors. Federal Judge Edmund Waddill of Virginia, in a 15,000-word opinion, directed, July 29, 1916, that the vessel, with the cargo remaining aboard her and the proceeds of the perishable cargo already sold, should be restored at once to her British owners.

## Supreme Court

The German government appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States, which on March 6, 1917 handed down a decision that a belligerent nation may not bring prizes of war into a neutral port. The Supreme Court held that it would be unneutral for the United States to permit either belligerent to bring prizes into American ports, and that Germany could not claim such right under any of the existing treaties between that country and the United States. In bringing Appam into an American port, it was held, the German officials were committing a clear breach of American neutrality.
Ship and cargo, valued at between three and four million dollars, were delivered to the British owners March 28, 1917. The decision, written by Justice William R. Day, affirmed decrees by Federal Judge Waddill, and upheld the original ruling by Secretary of State Robert Lansing that prizes coming into American ports unaccompanied by captor warships have the right to remain only long enough to make themselves seaworthy. The court stated that neither the Treaty of 1799 with Prussia, the Hague conventions nor the Declaration of London, entitled any belligerents to make American ports a place of deposit of prizes as spoils of war under such circumstances.
The opinion adds:
   The principles of international law, leaving the treaty aside, will not permit the ports of the United States to be thus used by the belligerents. If such use were permitted, it would constitute the ports of a neutral nation harbors of safety into which prizes might be safely brought and indefinitely kept.
   From the beginning of its history this country has been careful to maintain a neutral position between warring governments, and not to allow use of its ports in violation of the obligations of neutrality, nor to permit such use beyond the necessities arising from perils of the seas or the necessities of such vessels as to seaworthiness, provisions and supplies.

## Aftermath

After return to its initial owners, the ship was renamed SS Mandingo for the rest of the war before reverting to her original name in 1919. Thereafter she traded for many years on routes to West Africa and was scrapped in 1936.
# Moreland Street Historic District

The Moreland Street Historic District is a historic district roughly bounded by Kearsarge, Blue Hill Avenues, and Warren, Waverly, and Winthrop Streets in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It encompasses 63 acres (25 ha) of predominantly residential urban streetscape, which was developed between about 1840 and 1920. Housing types represent a cross-section of architectural styles from the period, including Second Empire, Italianate, and Queen Anne style. It is a fairly well-preserved grouping in an area where many sections have been negatively affected by urban blight and redevelopment. One notable house is at 130 Warren Street: it is the only house in the district built out of Roxbury puddingstone. That building is currently under study as a pending landmark for the Boston Landmarks Commission.
The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

# Baldy Mountain (Colfax County, New Mexico)

Baldy Mountain (official name), Baldy Peak, Mount Baldy, or Old Baldy is the highest peak in the Cimarron Range, a subrange of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico. It is located in Colfax County, about 6 miles (10 km) northeast of Eagle Nest. It rises abruptly, with 3,640 feet (1,110 m) of vertical relief (in 3 miles/4.8 km), from the Moreno Valley to the west and has a total elevation of 12,441 feet (3,792 m).

## Philmont Scout Ranch

Baldy Mountain lies on the northwestern border of the Boy Scouts of America's Philmont Scout Ranch. The valleys on the eastern side of the peak are home to some of the many small camps that are scattered throughout the Ranch. Four wheel drive roads and a radio tower exist high on the western slopes. In 1963 Norton Clapp bought 10,098 acres (4,087 ha) around the mountain and donated it to the Boy Scouts of America.

## Mining

Copper, gold, and silver were mined in the Baldy Mining District starting in 1866, and the top of Baldy Mountain was developed as the Mystic Lode copper mine. Other mines near Baldy Mountain were the Aztec, French Henry mine, Bull-of-the-Woods, Homestake, Black Horse, and Montezuma mines. Mine workings and prospects are still evident on the slopes of the mountain as well. There are about 70 miles (110 km) of mines in the whole mountain.

### Baldy Town

On the east side of Baldy Mountain, a small town grew up around the mining operations from 1868 to 1941. Baldy Town has since been incorporated as a staff camp at Philmont Scout Ranch.

# Walda Heywat

Walda Heywat (Amharic: ወልደ ሕይወት; 1633–1710), also called Mitku, was an Ethiopian philosopher. He was the beloved disciple of Zara Yacob, who wrote a well regarded work on the nature of truth and reason. Heywat took his mentor’s work and expanded upon it, addressing issues encountered by Ethiopians of that time.

## Biography

Walda Heywat was one of the sons of Habtu, a rich Ethiopian merchant from Emfraz, and the student of Zera Yacob, whose work he continued in his Treatise of Walda Heywat, written in Ge'ez. Walda Heywat was the son of Habta Egziabher (called Habtu), a friend of Zera Yacob in the town of Emfraz, where Zera Yacob spent the second part of his life. Zera Yacob was the teacher of the sons of Habtu and introduced Walda Heywat to his philosophy.
It was Walda Heywat who encouraged Zera Yacob to write his Treatise of Zera Yacob, describing both his life and his thoughts.

## Philosophical work

The personality of Walda Heywat comes out clearly from the analysis of his social ethics. Being a disciple of Zera Yacob and heavily influenced by his master's thought, he wrote his Treatise to explore and explain the ideas of his teacher. Although Zara Yacob's ideas were relatively individualistic, Walda Heywat was a social ethicist. In his writing, Walda Heywat states, "God did not create me only for myself, but placed me in the midst of other created [men] who are equal to me." He also adds, “Man cannot come to existence, grow, and serve by himself without the help of other men."

# Donald Gibson (architect)

Sir Donald Edward Evelyn Gibson CBE (11 October 1908 – 22 December 1991) was Coventry's first City Architect and Planning Officer, from 1938 to 1954; most famous for the postwar redevelopment of Coventry city centre following the Coventry Blitz.

## Education

Gibson was educated at the High School of Dundee and Manchester Grammar School before attending the Manchester School of Architecture. He spent his fourth year at Harvard, training in Boston, USA, before returning to the UK to qualify in 1932.

## Redevelopment of Coventry

At the age of 29, Gibson was appointed as Coventry's first city architect and planning officer.
The re-planning of Coventry City Centre began before the Blitz in 1940–1941; indeed, Gibson produced the initial plan to rebuild part of the city in early 1940, in order to resolve the problems of overcrowding and congestion of the medieval town centre. It was, however, the extensive wartime damage that enabled the Gibson plan to be turned into reality.
The Gibson plan involved a re-thinking of the city centre, introducing what was then a brand new town planning concept, with the main premise being a separation of motor traffic and pedestrians. Such traffic-free shopping precinct was the first in Europe, and was seen as a "truly pioneering design" in its day. In addition, Gibson was responsible for the first rooftop parking plus the development of a civic theatre (the Belgrade Theatre) and the circular market.
The Gibson plan saw extensive consultation with local people, with the "proposals and suggestions for the physical reconstruction and planning of the City of Coventry" set out in a book entitled The Future Coventry, published by the Corporation of Coventry. It was also supported by the Government, where the then Minister of Works, Lord Reith commented, "Coventry would be a test case, not for me and my authority, but for the Government and for England".
Gibson was succeeded by Arthur Ling who was City Architect from 1955 until 1964.
The redevelopment of the city was featured in a special edition of Architectural Design published in December 1958.

## Later career

Gibson left Coventry in 1955, and became County Architect in Nottinghamshire. Gibson subsequently knighted and became the government's senior architect, responsible for raising architectural standards.
Gibson was external professor of architecture at the University of Leeds from 1966 to 1968.

## Awards

Gibson was awarded the Coventry Award of Merit in 1966.
He was President of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1964–65. A half-length portrait of Gibson in oil, by Olwyn Bowey, owned by RIBA, hangs in the Green Room at the Victoria and Albert Museum. A copy, also by Bowey and dated 1965, was auctioned at Colwyn Bay in August 2023 for a hammer price of £800.
