# Portrait of Anne-Jules de Noailles

Portrait of Anne-Jules de Noailles is a 1691 oil on canvas painting by Hyacinthe Rigaud of Anne Jules de Noailles, 2nd Duke of Noailles, now in the Museum of Grenoble. It seems to be the best version of the main painting of the subject, commissioned in 1691 for 188 livres, a half-length painted by Rigaud in tribute to his military successes in Catalonia. It shows him in his blue sash of the Order of the Holy Spirit (presented on 31 December 1688) and with the chest decoration of a Commander of that order. A battlefield tent appears in the background.
Rigaud's birthplace of Perpignan meant that he frequently met de Noailles. In 1703 he, Jean-Batiste Colbert and Julle Hardouin-Mansart were the witnesses to the planned marriage between Rigaud and a young woman from Châtillon : Rigaud's 1716 biography states that when the painter was added to the nobility of Roussillon de Noailles (then governor general of the province) "honoured him by writing to congratulate him on his new title".
A second portrait of de Noailles was painted by Rigaud in 1693 to mark his promotion to marshal of France, valued at 122 livres and 10 sol and also a half-length. In 1694, when de Noailles became viceroy of Catalonia, Rigaud had his assistants make three replicas, one by Verly and one by Le Roy. In 1702, two large copies of the portrait were made, either by Rigaud himself or with the finishing touches by him - the first was valued at 250 livres and the second at 100 livres. These probably extended the half-length into a full-length standing portrait and one of them may now be in the Army Museum in Paris. ·
In a letter from the marquise de Sévigné to her daughter Madame de Grignan dated 10 June 1695, stating that de Noailles "was coming back [to sit again] to complete his portrait at Rigaud's house".
# Pra River (Ghana)

The Pra River is a river in Ghana, the easternmost and the largest of the three principal rivers that drain the area south of the Volta divide. Rising in the Kwahu Plateau near Mpraeso and flowing southward for 240 km (149.129 mi) through rich cocoa and farming areas and valuable forests in the Akan lowlands, the Pra enters the Gulf of Guinea east of Takoradi. In the 19th century, the Pra served as the border between the Ashanti Confederacy and the Gold Coast.
The Pra has many cataracts, notably the Bosomasi Rapids at Anyinabrim, and for most of its length is not navigable even by canoe. However, in the early part of the twentieth century the Pra was used extensively to float timber to the coast for export. This trade is now carried by road and rail transportation. The main tributaries are the Ofin, Anum and Birim rivers. The northern part of the Pra is still worked for artisan gold with metallic mercury, which has caused some contamination. The Birim river valley is a major source of diamonds.
Akim Oda is the commercial centre of the northern Pra basin.
# Neptis frobenia

Neptis frobenia is a butterfly in the family Nymphalidae. It is found on Mauritius.
It is a member of the frobenia group of Neptis. The species of this small group are confined to the Mascarene and Comoro Islands and do not seem to occur on Madagascar, but closely approximate to Neptis saclava, which is found there. They are distinguished by the yellow markings of the upper surface from all the other species except two of the last group [exaleuca group] . The discal band of the forewing is twice interrupted, in cellules 1 b and 4, and discal spot 4 is absent or small and joined to the spot in 3. In the males the underside of the forewing at the hindmargin is grey with a strong mother-of-pearl gloss as far as vein 2.
* Neptis frobenia F. (48 c). The median band of both wings is placed beyond the middle and on both surfaces the wings are unicolorous without markings as far as the transverse band. The transverse band of the forewing is divided into three groups of spots, consisting of a very small hindmarginal spot in 1 a and 1 b, a middle division in 2 and 3 and a subapical band in 5—-8. Mauritius.
* Neptis dumetorum Bdv. is very similar to the preceding species, but the cell of the forewing has above white, beneath yellowish dots and the transverse band is placed further from the distal margin and beneath, at least on the hindwing, is white. Island of Bourbon; common especially in the damper and more wooded parts of the island.
* Neptis mayottensis Oberth. (48 c), like the preceding species, has light dots in the cell of the forewing; the discal band is light yellow above, yellowish white beneath and on the hindwing broader than in the two pre¬ceding species; the hindwing beneath at the base chequered with brown and grey. Island of Mayotte.
* Neptis comorarum Oberth. (48 c) differs from the others in having the yellow hindmarginal spot of the fore wing entirely absent, otherwise agrees almost exactly with mayottensis, but is somewhat larger. Island of Grand Comoro.
The larvae feed on Acalypha species and Erythrospermum mauritiana.

# Rupert Scofield

Rupert Scofield (1949–2022) was an American financier and social entrepreneur who was the co-founder, president, and CEO of FINCA International from 1994 until his death in 2022.

## Education

Scofield had two MAs in Agricultural Economics and Public Administration from the University of Wisconsin and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Brown University.

## Career

Scofield dodged the Vietnam War draft in 1971 and instead joined the Peace Corps where he assisted farmers in the highlands of Guatemala. It was during this time that Scofield saw how microloans could have an effect on a community.
After leaving the Peace Corps, Scofield worked for the American Institute for Free Labour Development on land reform in El Salvador. Scofield noted that his time in El Salvador was dangerous due to landlords in the country disputing the expropriation of their plantations. This culminated in Scofield's boss being murdered.
Scofield made his first $50 loans to farmers in Guatemala in 1971. In 1984, Scofield co-founded FINCA with John Hatch to provide savings accounts, loans, and other financial services to poor and low-income people. FINCA initially focused on lending to women, with Scofield explaining "Women are more honest about repaying loans; they're also more likely to invest profits in their children."
In 2017 FINCA had over 2 million clients across five continents and a loan portfolio of $1 billion. Scofield commented that FINCA's work since its inception meant that "There are many people now with access to financial services that didn't have that access before."

## Personal life

Scofield hosted The Social Enterprise Podcast, a monthly podcast that explored the challenges of starting, building and running a social enterprise.
His book, The Social Entrepreneur's Handbook: How to Start, Build and Run a Business that Improves the World (McGraw-Hill, 2011), tells the story of how FINCA was built in addition to providing guidance on building social businesses.
Scofield served as the Chair Emeritus of the Partnership for Responsible Financial Inclusion, a collaborative effort by leaders from ten international organizations that promotes microfinance around the world
Scofield died on November 27, 2022, at the age of 73.
# Božidar Petranović

Božidar Petranović (18 February 1809 – 12 September 1874) was a Serbian author, scholar, journalist, and one of the leading historians of Serbian literature and a distinctive proponent of world literature. He is also mentioned as Theodor (Greek version of Serbian Božidar) Petranović in some publications. He is regarded as one of the early Serbian bibliographers.

## Biography

Born in Šibenik, Dalmatia, Božidar Petranović was one of the first Dalmatian Serbs to be educated in the newly constructed Metropolitanate of Karlovci's Gymnasium of Karlovci. He was also educated in Graz together with Ljudevit Gaj.
Božidar Petranović was the founder and publisher of the first Serb academic and scientific paper in Zadar, entitled the "Serbian-Dalmatian Magazine" (Srbsko-dalmatinski magazin). In 1838, Petranović claimed that the greater part of the population of the Kingdom of Dalmatia was "of Serb name" and spoke "true Serbian dialect". He later hired the Dubrovnik Eastern Orthodox priest Georgije Nikolajević as an editor of Magazin, and the two promulgated Ljudevit Gaj-Vuk Karadžić's language reforms. He also corresponded with authors Niccolò Tommaseo, Francesco Dall'Ongaro, journalist Pacifico Valussi (1813–1893), Ivan August Kaznačić (1817–1883), Medo Pucić, and Stipan Ivičević (1801–1871).
Throughout 1848–1849, Petranović argued that to secure a better economic future it was necessary to transfer Dalmatia into a commercial haven between sea and hinterland, between the Mediterranean and Balkan trade by lifting maritime custom taxes. In this pursuit, Petranović, along with Stipan Ivičević and Zora dalmatinska editor Ante Kuzmanić, tried to found a Dalmatian-Bosnian newspaper. Ivičević also sought to convince Habsburg authorities to set up a railroad line that connected Dalmatia directly to Mostar, Sarajevo, and Belgrade.
In 1838, he claimed Dubrovnik's literary tradition for Serbia since Dubrovnik's (also known as Ragusa of old) authors "wrote in Serbian, but with Latin letters." (Croats particularly members of the Catholic clergy were of the opposite opinion and so the dispute continues to this day). Similar theories were proposed by Vaso Glušac (1879–1955) at the beginning of the 20th century, and contemporary historian Dragoljub Dragojlović in his 1987 book.
Ljubomir Nedić, Svetozar Marković, Bogdan Popović, Pavle Popović, Jovan Skerlić, Slobodan Jovanović and Branko Lazarević all took a particular liking to him.
Petranović died in Venice on 12 September 1874.

# Siege of Lesbos (1771)

The Siege of Lesbos in 1771 took place during the Russo-Turkish war (1768–1774). The Ottoman Navy under the command of Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Pasha liberated Lesbos from the siege by the Russian Navy under the command of Aleksey Orlov between 11 and 16 November 1771.

## Background

After the burning of the Ottoman Navy in the Battle of Chesma, the commander of the Russian Navy, Aleksey Orlov, who was left free in the Aegean Sea, turned to the idea of establishing an Princedom of the Islands under the Tsardom of Russia within the framework of the protection demands he began to receive from the islands with a dense Greek population. Following the defeat he suffered in the Siege of Lemnos in October 1770, Admiral Orlov set out for St. Petersburg in November to receive instructions from the Tsarina Catherine the Great on this matter, and left the command of the Russian fleet to Grigory Spiridov. On January 12, 1771, Admiral Spiridov promised 14 Aegean islands autonomy under Russian protection (by 1774 the number of islands wishing to become Russian protectorates would increase to 27). Lesbos and Kos, which did not submit this request and were described by the Russians as hostile islands, were the scene of attacks by the Russian navy.

## Siege

The Russian fleet under the command of Admiral Orlov, returning from St. Petersburg, arrived in front of Lesbos on November 11, 1771, and dropped anchor. They then demanded the surrender of the main castle and the island from the Turkish garrison, but this demand was rejected by the local Ottoman commander, Osman Pasha. Thereupon, after subjecting the castle to cannon fire for three days, the Russian fleet landed troops on the island on November 13 and began a major plundering campaign.
Kapudan Pasha Cezayirli Gazi Hasan Pasha, on the other hand, had received advance notice that the island was being targeted and requested military reinforcements. Hasan Pasha, who received the necessary reinforcements, raided the island on November 16, 1771. While the Russian forces, who did not expect this attack, quickly retreated to their ships, the Russian fleet retreated in disorder, leaving 25 soldiers as prisoners in a hairpin called "Santorino". Hasan Pasha, who had the hairpin burned, sent 25 captured Russian soldiers to Istanbul.

# Orbetello Airfield

Orbetello Airfield Agostino Brunetta, is an abandoned World War II military airfield in Central Italy, which is located approximately 5 km north-northeast of Orbetello in the province of Grosseto (Tuscany).
Built from the Regia Marina in Lagoon of Orbetello for the Italian Navy Aviation, in 1925 was transferred to Regia Aeronautica. The airfield was the main Italian seaplane base.
The minister Italo Balbo himself led some transatlantic flights from Orbetello. The most famous was the 1930 flight of twelve Savoia-Marchetti S.55 flying boats from Orbetello Airfield to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil between 17 December 1930 and 15 January 1931. From 1 July to 12 August 1933, he led a flight of twenty-four flying boats on a round-trip flight from Rome to the Century of Progress in Chicago, Illinois. The flight had seven legs; Orbetello — Amsterdam — Derry — Reykjavík — Cartwright, Labrador — Shediac — Montreal ending on Lake Michigan near Burnham Park. After it was used by the 31º Stormo.
The airfield was a former Luftwaffe base seized by the United States Army in June 1944.
After its capture, it was used by the United States Army Air Force Twelfth Air Force.
* HQ, 64th Fighter Wing, 19 June–19 July 1944
* 86th Fighter Group, 19 June–12 July 1944, P-47 Thunderbolt
* 439th Troop Carrier Group, 18 July–24 August 1944, C-47 Skytrain
According to the group historian of the 86th, the airfield was put into use by the group with the front lines just a few miles north of the field. When the first elements arrived, they found a burnt-out German half-track with numerous casualties in it, along with numerous empty German helmets scattered around. At Orbetello the 86th transitioned from the A-36 Apache to the P-47 Thunderbolt and was redesignated a Fighter Group from its former Fighter-Bomber designation. Also, the 64th Fighter Wing set up headquarters on the airfield.
As part of the invasion of southern France (Operation Dragoon), the 439th Troop Carrier Group flew three squadrons of C-47s on the base where Army paratroopers had assembled and were flown to their drop zones in southern France during the invasion.
When the Americans moved out the airfield was closed and dismantled. Today, the location of the airfield is visible in aerial photography, with its runway visible. However the remainder of the airfield has been obliterated by agricultural use of the land.
