# Pelican (1793 ship)

Pelican was a private man of war commissioned by a Liverpool merchant for offensive operations against French commerce following the outbreak of the French Revolutionary War in February 1793. Pelican sank in bad weather on 20 March 1793.

## Background

Pelican was a small, armed brig. Her owners intended to have her sail as a privateer to capture French merchant shipping for a profit under a letter of marque from the British government. Captain Samuel Higgins acquired a letter of marque on 1 March.
She was crewed and outfitted in the Mersey, and on 20 March 1793 was taking her owners and their families and friends on a pleasure and working up cruise in the mouth of the river. On board were 94 sailors and approximately 40 civilians, including several women.

## Worsening weather

During the brief journey, the weather took a sudden turn for the worse and the ship began to rock violently, causing many of those aboard to go below decks, worsening the impending tragedy.

## Pitching and rolling

The brig turned near Seacombe, opposite Liverpool. Suddenly and without warning, at about two in the afternoon, with the brig at the height of her pitch, several cannon, which had been improperly tied down, broke free. These became iron missiles that rolled across the deck and punched huge holes in the ship's opposite side, causing water to flood into the Pelican, which rapidly filled and sank. The location of the wreck was so shallow that her mast tops remained above the water, visible after the storm had died down. Unfortunately, because all unnecessary personnel had been ushered below and because the hatches were battened down during the storm, no one was able to escape the lower decks.
Just 32 people survived the disaster, 102 drowning in the sunken ship. The survivors were mainly men who had remained on deck and were able to launch boats, or those who were rescued from the masts some time later by rescue craft from the nearby shoreline. The disaster was reported in The Times three days later. Lloyd's List reported that Pelican had overset in the river at Liverpool and that some 60 people had drowned.
John Starkey, the excise surveyor, was able to rescue 25 people by taking his boat from the Pierhead. He later received a medal from the Humane Society. One of the people saved was the pilot. He was tried for manslaughter at Lancaster Assizes under the theory that his negligence had caused the disaster; he was acquitted.

# 1993 Nigerian coup d'état

The 1993 Nigerian coup d'état was a bloodless military coup which took place in Nigeria on 17 November 1993 when the Armed Forces, headed by Defence Minister General Sani Abacha, forced Interim President Chief Ernest Shonekan to resign. Shonekan assumed the interim presidency on 26 August 1993, succeeding General Ibrahim Babangida as head of state, in the aftermath of Babangida's annulment of the 12 June 1993 presidential election. In a nationwide broadcast following the coup, Abacha cited the stagnant nature of Shonekan's government, and his inability to manage the democratic process in the country as a cause of his resignation. In September 1994, Abacha issued a decree that placed his government above the jurisdiction of the courts, effectively giving him absolute power. Another decree gave him the right to detain anyone for up to three months.
Abacha stayed in power until his death on 8 June 1998 at the presidential complex (Aso Villa) in Abuja. He was succeeded by the Chief of the Defence Staff Major General Abdulsalami Abubakar as head of state.
# November 1993 Tuvaluan general election

Early general elections were held in Tuvalu on 25 November 1993, after the previous elections in September had resulted in a deadlock in Parliament, with supporters of incumbent and former Prime Ministers Bikenibeu Paeniu and Tomasi Puapua holding an equal number of seats.
As there were no political parties, all candidates for the twelve seats ran as independents. Following the elections, Puapua stepped aside and Kamuta Latasi was elected Prime Minister on 10 December, defeating Paeniu by seven votes to five. Otinielu Tausi became Deputy Prime Minister, while Tomasi Puapua was appointed Speaker.
Although Naama Latasi (the only female MP) had not re-elected in the September elections, she regained her seat in parliament in the November elections.

# Ananthasayana Temple

Ananthasayana temple in Ananthasayanagudi, Bellary district, Karnataka state, India was constructed by King Krishnadeva Raya (1524 AD) of the Vijayanagara Empire in memory of his deceased son.

## Etymology

The temple is known as Shri Ananthashayana, named after the deity Vishnu, who is depicted reclining on the cosmic serpent Ananta.

## History

The temple was erected by the renowned king Krishnadevaraya in 1524. Although the temple is significant, the inscription detailing its history is missing. The temple is believed to be connected to the artistic endeavors of the Vijayanagara Empire. This empire, renowned for its grandeur and achievements, was described by the 15th-century Persian ambassador, Abdur Razzak, as a remarkable place unmatched on earth. Today, the remnants of this once-glorious kingdom, particularly around Hampi in the Bellary district, stand as ruins that echo the empire's past splendor.

## Architecture

The temple is unique in its construction, featuring a large rectangular sanctuary that is accessed through triple doorways. This sanctuary was intended to accommodate a reclining image of Vishnu. The temple's structure is primarily made of plaster-covered brickwork, with only its long granite pedestal currently visible. A striking feature is the vaulted roof, which rises approximately 24 meters above the sanctuary, with semi-circular ends that are still intact, though partially restored. The sanctuary is preceded by a spacious mandapa supported by lofty columns.

## Cultural significance

The temple's architectural design reflects the artistic traditions of the time, particularly in the way it accommodates the deity. A notable legend associated with the temple tells of a guide tasked with transporting the idol of Anantasayana to its intended location, who was instructed not to look back. When he broke this agreement, the idol remained immovable at Holalu, reflecting the challenges faced during that era.

# The Winning of Barbara Worth

The Winning of Barbara Worth is a 1926 American silent Western film directed by Henry King, and starring Ronald Colman, Vilma Bánky and Gary Cooper (who replaced Monte Blue). Based on Harold Bell Wright's novel The Winning of Barbara Worth, the film is remembered for the climactic flood sequence, depicting the 1905 formation of the Salton Sea.

## Plot

As a child, Barbara is orphaned when her settler parents perish trying to cross a California desert. She is rescued and raised by Jefferson Worth, who dreams of irrigating the desert. Fifteen years later, Willard Holmes, the chief engineer of a company intent on diverting the Colorado River to do just that, arrives and is smitten with Barbara. However, he has a rival for her affections: local cowboy Abe Lee, who realizes, toward the end of the picture, that Barbara's love for him will never be anything more than the love a sister feels for a brother. Willard Holmes's greedy employer, meanwhile, refuses to spend the money to reinforce his gigantic water project. This results in a catastrophic flood, the visual and dramatic highlight of the film. Barbara is impressed by Willard's heroism, and he promises to return to marry her after he has conquered the Colorado River and turned the desert into a bountiful paradise.

# Rubus laciniatus

Rubus laciniatus, the cutleaf evergreen blackberry or evergreen blackberry, is a Eurasian species of Rubus. It is an introduced species elsewhere, often being considered invasive.

## Description

Rubus laciniatus is a deciduous, bramble-forming shrub growing to 3 meters (10 feet) tall, with prickly shoots. The leaves are palmately compound, with five leaflets, each divided into deeply toothed subleaflets with jagged, thorny tips. The flowers have pink or white petals. Fruits are similar to the common blackberry, with a unique, fruitier flavour. The fruits are not true berries in the botanical sense.
The species is unusual in the genus in having 3-lobed petals and also in having deeply divided leaves.
The fruits of this plant are eagerly consumed by a number of animal species, including many birds and mammals. The thickets provide valuable cover for animals.

## Distribution and habitat

It is an introduced species in Australia and North America, and has become a weed and invasive species in forested habitats in the United States and Canada, particularly in the Northeast and along the Pacific Coast, as well as in Australia.

## Cultivation

Wild Rubus laciniatus has been grown for its fruits since 1770. Several commercially important berry cultivars have also been bred from it.

# Košljun (island)

Košljun is a relatively small island in Puntarska Draga bay off the coast of Krk, facing Punat, in the Adriatic Sea, Croatia. It is approximately 300 meters in diameter and covers an area of 6.5 hectares and is rich in vegetation. The only inhabitants are a group of Franciscan friars living in St. Mary's Monastery.

## History

The earliest known settlement on Košljun was a Roman villa rustica belonging to a landowner of the Roman settlement on Curicum (Croatian: Krk). The next solid evidence of inhabitation is a written record from 1186 implying the existence of a Benedictine abbey built on its foundations. This was abandoned in 1447, and the Frankopans moved in Franciscans in their place. The present church was built by the Franciscans in 1480. The Benedictines remained on the island until the 15th century. After the death of the abbot Dominik, a Venetian priest held the title of Abbot of Košljun, and the island was abandoned.
A pair of Franciscan friars complained to the Pope that the monastery was sitting empty. At their request, the Benedictine monastery was abolished and the island of Košljun given to the Franciscans, whose monastery remains today.

## The collections

Near the jetty, one can find a statue of St. Francis with a wolf, a common iconographic motif for this saint. In addition to the statue, there is a text written in Glagolitic, located over the main entrance to the monastery, called, "Mir i Dobro" (peace and well-being), which is also dedicated to St. Francis. In the monastery, there is an ethnographic collection, including articles used by farmers and fishermen on Krk from the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century.
There is also a permanent exhibition of church artifacts housed in the old Benedictine church from the 12th century. As well as old masters (G. da Santacroce, F. Ughetto, Medulić and E. Jurič), the collection also includes works by more recent Croatian artists and sculptors such as: Dulčić, Bulić, Radauš, Orlić and Kršinić. The monastery owns a rich library of some 15,000 books, which contains a Jewish Bible from the 11th century, Glagolitic sermons, and Ptolemy's Atlas, printed in Venice in 1511.
