Bukownica is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Grabów nad Prosną, within Ostrzeszów County, Greater Poland Voivodeship, in west-central Poland. It lies approximately 6 kilometres (4 mi) south-west of Grabów nad Prosną, 9 km (6 mi) north-east of Ostrzeszów, and 130 km (81 mi) south-east of the regional capital Poznań.

## History

The oldest known mention of the village comes from 1294, it was also mentioned in the Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis from around 1305. It was then part of the medieval Piast-ruled Kingdom of Poland.
During the German invasion of Poland, which started World War II, on September 2, 1939, Germans carried out executions of seven local Poles, then set fire to local houses and shot people fleeing from the fire (see Nazi crimes against the Polish nation).
# BitFlyer

bitFlyer is a Japanese cryptocurrency exchange headquartered in Tokyo. It was founded in 2014 and is one of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in Japan.

## History

bitFlyer was founded in 2014 by Yuzo Kano, a former derivatives and bonds trader from Goldman Sachs. bitFlyer's cryptocurrency exchange was launched in April 2014, a few months before the once market-dominant bitcoin exchange, Mt. Gox, went out of business. In 2018 the exchange stopped taking new customers after Japanese regulators accused the exchange of not taking actions to stop money laundering and terrorist financing. Regulators stated that most directors were friends of the CEO Yuzo Kano, a former Goldman Sachs trader. By February 2016, it had 100,000 users and was processing about 7 billion yen ($64 million USD) in monthly cryptocurrency transactions, making it the largest Bitcoin exchange in Japan. It raised about $36 million USD in venture capital over three funding rounds. The company established partnerships with retailers, mobile app companies, and payment processors to facilitate smartphone-based cryptocurrency payments at retail locations. bitFlyer also secured regulatory approval to sell cryptocurrency to institutional investors.
bitFlyer expanded internationally to the United States in November 2017 and to Europe in January 2018. By 2018, the company was processing 80 percent of bitcoin transactions in Japan and had grown to 150 employees. In 2018, bitFlyer was one of six exchanges ordered to improve their procedures against money laundering, causing bitFlyer to temporarily suspend services while it implemented new systems.
In 2019, bitFlyer created a subsidiary focused on blockchain technology and services.
In May 2023, BitFlyer was fined by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) for failing to meet state cybersecurity requirements. The company was fined $1.2 million.

## Services

Users of the bitFlyer exchange can buy/sell cryptocurrency with each other, or buy/sell directly with bitFlyer itself.
bitFlyer's first service was its cryptocurrency exchange, which was initially focused on bitcoin. The company later added futures contracts and bitcoin derivatives to the exchange. As of 2017, 75 percent of transactions on bitFlyer are for derivatives, where users make investments based on their prediction of future bitcoin prices.
bitFlyer first introduced its blockchain technology, called Miyabi, in 2016. In 2019, bitFlyer added other cryptocurrencies to its exchange, such as Ethereum and Litecoin. The company also added features to pay for goods at retailers using cryptocurrency and to buy cryptocurrency using credit cards or points from loyalty programs. In June 2020, bitFlyer introduced a blockchain-based voting service called bvote. The company also introduced a blockchain consulting arm.

# Battle of Akabar

The battle of Akabar took place on April 1, 2018, between French and Malian forces aided by Tuareg rebels against Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin and the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara.

## Prelude

The Menaka region of southeast Mali, near the borders of Niger and Burkina Faso, has been a hotbed of jihadist violence since 2016 and 2017 when the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara exercised control over it, along with Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin, a coalition of five al-Qaeda aligned jihadist groups that have rebelled against the Malian government since 2012. Just prior to the battle of Akabar, on March 28, 2018, joint Franco-Malian forces launched an operation to combat JNIM and ISGS, with the Franco-Malian forces aided by the local Tuareg militant groups Movement for the Salvation of Azawad and Imghad Tuareg Self-Defense Group and Allies, along with the Nigerien government.

## Battle

A skirmish broke out near the village of Akabar on April 1, 2018, in an area under heavy ISGS influence. In response, French forces deployed a group of commandos and air support to combat the sixty ISGS militants on motorcycles. The clashes lasted until nightfall, at which point the French commandos, Malian soldiers, and MSA and GATIA fighters retreated from the area. The troops returned the following morning to conduct reconnaissance, by which point the jihadists had fled.

## Aftermath

The French general staff stated on April 5 that there were no French losses, but that Malian soldiers were killed. The French government also estimated that thirty jihadists were "neutralized" in the battle. The MSA released a statement on April 1 affirming twenty "bandits" had been killed, and some were captured. The MSA statement also claimed that three MSA and GATIA fighters were killed, and five injured. The leader of the MSA, in an interview with RFI on April 23, claimed over a dozen Tuareg fighters had been killed, and 30 to 40 jihadists had been killed.
Bruno Guibert, the commander-in-chief of Operation Barkhane, stated the battle was fought jointly by JNIM and ISGS, adding that the attack was not jointly planned by either group and rather shared goals between the two groups in that singular instance.

# Meet Virginia

"Meet Virginia" is a song by American roots rock band Train, released as the lead single from their self-titled first album and as their debut single. Originally serviced to adult album alternative radio in March 1998, the song took over a year to gain popularity on mainstream radio, eventually reaching number 20 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart in January 2000, becoming Train's first top-20 hit and their first single to appear on the Hot 100. It also reached the top 20 in Canada, peaking at number 15 on the RPM 100 Hit Tracks chart.

## Background

When asked whether the girl in the song was real or imaginary, Train's Twitter page said, "She's real parts of real woman [sic] that make up a woman that I've always wanted to meet". Singer Patrick Monahan added that one of the women who inspired the song was bassist Charlie Colin's girlfriend, who came over from a wedding shower still wearing a long dress and high heels, and proceeded to play shortstop for Train's team. This inspired the line, "Wears high heels when she exercises".

## Reception

Roxanne Blanford of AllMusic says "Meet Virginia" is one of a few songs from the album Train that has "inspired hooks and reflective lyrics". Christa L. Titus, of Billboard magazine in her review of their second album, called the song an "ode to a wrong-side-of-the-tracks girl full of quirky contradictions."

## Music video

"Meet Virginia" has a music video that takes place inside a diner and stars actress Rebecca Gayheart. The video was shot at the Merritt Bakery and Restaurant in Oakland, California. Located on the south-western shore of Lake Merritt at 203 East 18th Street. The restaurant closed after a fire in 2016.

# Akohime

Akohime (阿古姫) was a Japanese noble woman from the Chōsokabe clan during the Sengoku period to the early Edo period. She was the daughter of Chōsokabe Motochika, the daimyō of Tosa Province in Shikoku. She was the last notable survivor of the clan after the Siege of Osaka; being responsible for continuing the Chōsokabe's lineage in Sendai domain when she became retainer of Date Masamune.

## Biography

Akohime was the daughter of Chōsokabe Motochika, known for having Unified the island of Shikoku. She was also the sister of Chōsokabe Morichika and wife of Satake Chikanao, a retainer of the Chōsokabe, and bore two sons which would later be known as Igarashi Motonari e Shibata Tomomoto.
In 1615, during the Summer Campaign of the Siege of Ōsaka, Akohime accompanied the Chōsokabe army who were allies of the Toyotomi clan in the fight against the Tokugawa clan. Akohime, Chikanao and Chōsokabe Morichika enter Ōsaka Castle, but the Toyotomi lost the battle while Chikanao was killed in action. When Ōsaka Castle fell, Akohime and her two sons were captured by soldiers under the command of Date Masamune, the head of the Sendai domain. Masamune spared the lives of Akohime and her sons, after which Akohime served as a personal maid of the Date family under the name of Chūjō.

## Chōsokabe influence in Sendai

The lands of the Chōsokabe clan had been confiscated after the end of the Siege of Osaka, but Akohime who was spared from death used her influence to continue the Chosokabe lineage. Akohime was well-educated and articulate, so she was trusted by Masamune and served him into his later years.
Because of Akohime's efforts, each of her sons was adopted by a senior vassal and both became successors to their respective adoptive parents. Her sons also became servants of the family. Later, her second son, Motomaru, succeeded a senior retainer named Shiho Shibata and adopted the name of Shibata Tomomoto. For that reason, there were people related to Chosokabe who went to Sendai with the help of Akohime and her children.
Tomomoto worked as a magistrate. In 1671, during the Date Disturbance, he died in a sword fight against Harada Munesuke at the residence of Sakai Tadakiyo.
While serving as a personal maid to Masamune, Akohime requested of her cultured lord a work of calligraphy for which he wrote a song from Kiyohara no Motosuke, a revered noble and poet from the tenth century in the Heian period.

# Juqueri State Park

The Juqueri State Park (Portuguese: Parque Estadual do Juqueri) is a state park in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. It protects one of the last remnants of cerrado in the São Paulo metropolitan region, as well as areas of Atlantic Forest.
In August 2021 a fire burnt half of the Land of the park.

## Location

The Juqueri State Park is in the municipality of Franco da Rocha, 38 kilometres (24 mi) from Praça da Sé in the center of São Paulo. It has an area of 2,058.09 hectares (5,085.7 acres). The highest point has an altitude of 942 metres (3,091 ft). The park is named after a common plant found on the banks of the rivers of the region, called yu-kery by the indigenous people, who extracted salt from it to season their food. The plant is also known as "Sleeping Mary". When touched, it closes its leaves for a while.

## History

The area was a ranch, Fazenda Juquery, when it was acquired in 1895 by São Paulo state, under the direction of governor José Alves de Cerqueira César. The state then built the Juquery Psychiatric Hospital, designed by the architect Ramos de Azevedo, and the Juquery Agricultural Colony. In 1989 the architectural complex, the collection of documents and the green area of the Fazenda Juquery were registered by the Council for Protection of the Historical, Archaeological, Artistic and Tourist Heritage of the State of São Paulo (CONDEPHAAT). The Juqueri State Park was created in June 1993 through Decree No. 36,859 to conserve important remnants of native vegetation and to preserve the water sources of the Cantareira System.
12 of 20 square kilometer of the park burnt in August 2021. The fire has been caused by a hot air balloon and extinguished by 100 firemen.

## Environment

The park contains one of the last remnants of cerrado in the São Paulo metropolitan region, as well as areas of Atlantic Forest. It is home to diverse flora and fauna. The park is threatened by wildfires and invasion by exotic species such as North American pines and Mexican agaves. The park is increasingly surrounded by urban areas. The Serra da Cantareira Forest Reserve is nearby, but the corridor linking the park to the reserve is not protected and may soon be urbanized, leading to loss of biodiversity and sustainability.
