# Volturara Appula

Volturara Appula is a town and comune in the province of Foggia in the Apulia region of southeast Italy. Once a flourishing city, the comune now has a population of less than 400.

## History

The date of his foundation is not known; the first historical paper citing it, is a document of Pope Giovanni (John) XIII that, in 969 A.D., lists Volturara as a bishopric, depending from Benevento. Vulturaria, as it was previously called, was ruled in various times by its bishops, and by a number of noble families, including a branch of Caracciolos that built the so said 'Dukedom Palace'.

## Main sights

The Apulian Romanesque cathedral was built in the 13th century. It has a massive bell-tower with three bells of bronze with a noteworthy percentage of silver. Another church, the 16th-century Santuario di Maria SS. della Sanità (Shrine of Our Lady of Health) was reputedly built by Marquis Bartolomeo Caracciolo in thanksgiving for recovery from illness.

## Bishopric

Its bishopric, the Diocese of Vulturara, was united with that of Diocese of Montecorvino to form the Diocese of Vulturara e Montecorvino in 1433. Giuseppe Cappelletti gives detailed information about most of its bishops. In 1818, upon a reorganization of the dioceses within the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the diocese ceased to exist as a residential see and its territory became part of the diocese of Lucera. It is now included in the Catholic Church's list of titular sees.

## People

Giuseppe Conte, the Prime Minister of Italy in 2018-2021 was born in Volturara, but grew up in San Giovanni Rotondo.

# Michael Sionidis

Michael Sionidis (Greek: Μιχαήλ Σιωνίδης or Μιχάλης Σιωνίδης, Mihális Sionídis; c. 1870–1935) was a Greek leader of makedonomachoi in the Macedonian Struggle.

## Early life

Michael Sionidis was born in the village of Grčište, Ottoman Empire (near Bogdanci in the present-day North Macedonia) in about 1870.

## Military career

At the outbreak of the Macedonian Struggle in 1904, Sionidis fought against the pro-Bulgarian komitadjis, acting in an area covering Grčište, Gevgelija and Doirani. Sionidis first fought under Georgios Zira, then under Emmanuel Katsigaris [bg], before he finally founded his own militia.
In the autumn of 1904, Bulgarian komitadjis killed several of Grčište's Greek inhabitants, including the teacher Catherine Hadjigeorgiou, who was Michael's cousin, the teacher Constantine Sionidis, Andronikis' daughter, and five other Greeks. In retaliation, Sionidis led his militia in an attack on the village of Marvinci, where the komitadjis were hiding. After getting injured, he went to Gevgelija to recuperate (January 1905).
After the First Balkan War, Grčište came under Serbian control, and Sionidis moved to the village of Matsikovo (modern Evzonoi), which was at the time on the Greco-Serbian border. During the Balkan Wars, King Constantine I of Greece established his headquarters in his house. Sionidis participated in the Battle of Kilkis-Lahanas, where he was injured. Sionidis also participated in the Battle of Skra-di-Legen during World War I, and worked as a secret agent of the Third Army Corps behind enemy lines, in the area of Strumica.

## Later years

Following the end of World War I, Sionidis, as president of Matsikovo community, retrieved the remains of nine evzones whom the Bulgarians had killed during the Second Balkan War, and buried them in his village. In 1927, the Epitropi Metonomasias renamed Matsikovo to Evzonoi in their honour. Michael Sionidis died in 1935.
For his services, he was awarded the Golden Cross of Valour, Greece's highest bravery award, along with the War Cross and the Commemorative Medal of the Macedonian Struggle.

# Lambros Koromilas

Lambros Koromilas (Greek: Λάμπρος Κορομηλάς: c. 1856 – 1923) was a Greek economist and diplomat, and one of the leading figures in the Macedonian Struggle during his tenure as Greek Consul-General to Thessaloniki in 1904–1907. He also served as Finance Minister in 1910–1912 and Foreign Minister before and during the Balkan Wars of 1912–1913.

## Life

Koromilas was born in Athens in about 1856, the second son of the publisher Andreas Koromilas. After studies in Physics and Mathematics in Athens, he continued his studies in France and Germany. On his return to Greece, he took up his father's business, but shortly after he was appointed director of the National Printing House. He later succeeded his elder brother Dimitrios (a noted theatrical writer) in running the newspaper Efimerida.
In 1888, he left Greece and went to the Ottoman capital, Constantinople, where he studied the Turkish language and the structure of the Ottoman government. On his return to Greece, he participated in the Cretan Revolt of 1896, as well as in the subsequent Greco-Turkish War of 1897. After the war, he was appointed General Secretary of the Finance Ministry, a post he held until 1899. In January 1904 he was sent as Greek consul to Philippopolis, and in May of the same year he was transferred to the Greek Consulate General in Thessaloniki. From this point he became one of the main figures of the Macedonian Struggle, the Greek effort to compete with the pro-Bulgarian Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization (IMRO) for the allegiance of the population of Macedonia. Koromilas activity as the central coordinator of the Greek armed bands across Macedonia did not go unnoticed by the Ottoman government, which demanded his recall. In 1906 he was dismissed from his consular post, but appointed instead as Inspector General of the Greek consulates in Macedonia, continuing his work until his final recall under Ottoman pressure in late 1907.
Koromilas was then sent to the United States as ambassador. During his three-year tenure there he was successful in bringing unity of purpose and cohesion among the Greek immigrant organizations in the country. On his return to Greece in 1910, Koromilas resigned from the diplomatic service and entered politics. He was elected to the Hellenic Parliament in 1910 and became Finance Minister in the cabinet of Eleftherios Venizelos until 17 August 1912, when he was appointed Foreign Minister (although he already directed the ministry's affairs since 1 May). He kept his post through the Balkan Wars, and resigned on 18 August 1913 following disagreements with Venizelos.
Koromilas was then sent as ambassador to Rome, where he remained until his resignation and retirement in 1920. He then left for the United States, where he remained until his death in 1923.

## Honours and works

For his work in the Macedonian Struggle and later in bringing about the Balkan League, Koromilas was awarded the Grand Commander of the Order of the Redeemer. Among his numerous publications, the most important were the book Greek finances from 1848 to 1903, and the 1892 article Income and taxes.
# Wyoming Highway Patrol

The Wyoming Highway Patrol is the highway patrol and de facto state police agency for the U.S. state of Wyoming, and has jurisdiction across the entire state. The goals of the Wyoming Highway Patrol are to make Wyoming's highways safer by reducing the number of traffic crashes, deaths, and injuries; to apprehend and arrest criminals using Wyoming's highways; and to assist motorists in trouble. It is also tasked with providing security and transportation to the Governor of Wyoming.

## History

The Wyoming Highway Patrol was created in 1933 to protect the lives, property and constitutional rights of all people in Wyoming. It was created after the Wyoming Department of Law Enforcement, whose sole duty was to enforce prohibition laws, disbanded. On May 23, 1933, the Highway Commission named Captain George Smith as the leader of the Wyoming Highway Patrol. Captain Smith, along with six other newly trained Patrolmen, left the state capital charged with the duty to “enforce the laws of the state relating to the registration and licensing of motor vehicles, the laws relating to use and operation of motor vehicles on highways, and all laws for the protection of the highways.”
As of June 2021, the Wyoming Highway Patrol has 208 troopers on patrol. In 2019, troopers investigated nearly 8,000 motor vehicle crashes across the state and removed over 1,300 intoxicated drivers from Wyoming roadways.
The current new sidearm for 2021 is the SIG Sauer P320 9MM 3.9 Inch Barrel XCarry Pro Series replacing the Glock Model 35 Gen 4 .40, which replaced the Smith & Wesson M&P .40.

# Fateless (film)

Fateless (Hungarian: Sorstalanság) is a Hungarian film directed by Lajos Koltai, released in 2005. It is based on the semi-autobiographical novel Fatelessness by the Nobel Prize winner Imre Kertész, who also wrote the screenplay. It tells the story of a teenage boy who is sent to Auschwitz and Buchenwald.
The film's music was composed by Ennio Morricone, and one of its songs was sung by Lisa Gerrard. The film is one of the most expensive ever produced in Hungary, with a cost of $12 million. The film also features British actor Daniel Craig, who plays a cameo as a United States Army sergeant.
The film was screened in Hungary and Germany (at Berlinale), at the Telluride Film Festival in Telluride, Colorado as well as the Toronto International Film Festival.

## Critical response

Holocaust film scholar Rich Brownstein, who lectured at Yad Vashem about the history and quality of Holocaust films, regards Fateless as one of the greatest Holocaust films ever made. In his 2021 Holocaust Cinema Complete: A History and Analysis of 400 Films, with a Teaching Guide, Brownstein wrote, "Like The Grey Zone (2001), the Hungarian film Fateless - Sorstalanság (2005) is among the most unknown and underrated of all Holocaust films. Fateless stands alone presenting one person’s journey from innocent young man to death camp survivor. Certainly, part of Fateless’ greatness resulted from the authentic screenplay by Nobel Laureate for Literature Imre Kertész (1929 - 2016), based on his semi-autobiographical novel from 1975: Fatelessness. And perhaps Fateless’ beauty resulted from the gorgeous cinematography of first-time director Lajos Koltai (1946 - ), who is best known as an Oscar-nominated cinematographer, with more than 60 films under his belt from 1970 through 2006. And Fateless could be great also because of the acting of newcomer Marcell Nagy, whose character moves seamlessly through the Holocaust with dignity and grace."

# David Gwynn

David 'Dai' Gwynn (28 December 1861 – 8 March 1910) was a Welsh international rugby union wing who played club rugby for Swansea, and county rugby for Lancashire. Gwynn played for Wales on six occasions and was the brother of William Gwynn, who also played international rugby for Wales.

## Background

Gwynn was born in Swansea, Wales, and he died aged 48 in Swansea, Wales.

## Rugby career

Gwynn made his first club appearance for Swansea in 1878 and in 1882 he was part of the third Welsh national team. Under the captaincy of Charles Lewis, this was the first home game played by Wales, and the match at St. Helen's ended in another defeat by Wales at the hands of the English. This was Gwynn's last international match for just over four years, and during this period his brother played for Wales five times and the brothers never played in the same team national team together. When Gwynn was selected again, it was for the 1887 Home Nations Championship in a game against Scotland. Gwynn found himself on the losing side for a second time and was forced to wait another three years before his was selected to play for his country again. When Gwynn was reselected he was chosen to face England as part of the 1890 Championship, which saw Wales beat the English for the very first time, thanks to a try from William Stadden. This was followed by a draw against Ireland as part of the same tournament.
Gwynn played two final games for Wales, the Scotland and Ireland matches of the 1891 Championship. Gwynn moved north and played for Oldham during this period, though continued to turn out for Swansea when he could. He was joined at Oldham by William McCutcheon who not only played for Swansea, but also represented Lancashire with Gwynn at county level. When Gwynn left the sport of rugby, he became heavily associated with Swansea Cricket Club and umpired for the club.

### International matches played

Wales
* England 1882, 1890, 1891
* Scotland 1887, 1891
* Ireland 1890

## Change of Code

When Oldham converted from the rugby union code to the rugby league code on Thursday 29 August 1895, David Gwynn would have been approximately 34 years of age. Consequently, he may have been both a rugby union, and rugby league footballer for Oldham.
