# Deborah Tall

Deborah Anne Tall (March 16, 1951 – October 19, 2006) was an American writer and poet. From 1982 until 2006, she was a professor of literature and writing at Hobart and William Smith Colleges and edited the literary journal, The Seneca Review. She is the author of four books of poetry and three works of nonfiction and co-edited the anthology, The Poet's Notebook, with David Weiss and Stephen Kuusisto. Her most recent book of poems, "Summons," was chosen by Charles Simic to receive the Kathryn A. Morton Poetry Prize and was published by Sarabande Books. Her memoir, "A Family of Strangers," chronicles her search for her father's missing relatives and her struggle to uncover the past her parents have tried to forget.

## Life

Tall grew up in a middle class Jewish family in the Philadelphia suburbs. As a child she studied dance and piano. Her father was an engineer and her mother was a homemaker. She attended the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, intending to major in philosophy, but switched her major to English instead. She graduated in three years. During her final year, she took up with a visiting professor, Tom MacIntyre, and the two subsequently moved to Ireland one summer in the 1970s. They spent five years on the island of Inishbofin, off the west coast of Ireland. They lived among a very small island population, and the experience is chronicled in her book, Island of the White Cow. After her return to the United States, she attended Goddard College, earning an MFA in Writing. She met husband and fellow poet, David Weiss, while living in New York City. While at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, they met fellow writers Stephen Scully and Rosanna Warren. She has two daughters, Zoe and Clea.
In 2004, Tall was diagnosed with inflammatory breast cancer from which she died in 2006.

# Aiden Morris

Aiden Joseph Morris (born 25 April 1993) is an English former first-class cricketer.
Morris was born at Nottingham in April 1993. He was educated at Loughborough Grammar School, before going up to Loughborough University. While studying at Loughborough, he made two appearances in first-class cricket for Loughborough MCCU, both against Hampshire in 2012 and 2013. He scored 23 runs in his two matches, with a high score of 18 not out, in addition to taking 2 wickets with right-arm medium-fast bowling.
# Itkillik River

The Itkillik River is a 220-mile (350 km) tributary of the Colville River in the North Slope Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska. The river flows northeast then northwest out of the Endicott Mountains near Oohlah Pass to meet the larger stream about 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Harrison Bay on the Beaufort Sea. An Iñupiaq map, drawn in about 1900, identifies the river as It-kil-lik, meaning Indian.
A melting permafrost formation exposed along the Itkillik River is the largest known yedoma in Alaska. The formation, deposited between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago, contains remains of bison, muskoxen, mammoths, and other animals embedded in an ice cliff that is 100 feet (30 m) high and 1,200 feet (370 m) long. The ice is rich in methane. Odors emitted by the gasses released when the ice thaws have led to the site's nickname, the Stinking Hills or Stinky Bluffs.
# Bud (dog)

Bud, a bulldog (or American Bulldog), was the mascot of Horatio Nelson Jackson and Sewall K. Crocker on the first automobile trip across the United States in 1903. The pair travelled in a Winton car, dubbed the Vermont, from San Francisco to New York City, and picked up Bud near Caldwell, Idaho.
According to Jackson, the pair had left Caldwell, but turned back to fetch a forgotten coat. A man stopped them and offered them the young light-colored dog. Since Jackson had been looking for a mascot, he accepted, giving the man $15 for the dog. Contemporary newspapers told other versions of the story. On the journey, Jackson purchased driving goggles for Bud to keep the dust out of his eyes. In 1944, Jackson donated Bud's goggles, his car and newspaper clips to the Smithsonian Institution. The National Museum of American History has the items on display in their America on the Move exhibit, including replicas of Jackson standing by his car, and Bud sitting ahead of him wearing goggles.
The trio, including Bud, became celebrities, and Bud was pictured in newspapers with his goggles. Jackson noted that the dog was the only one of the trio who didn't use foul language. At one point during the journey, when the men hadn't eaten for 36 hours, Jackson said they were "stealing speculative glances at Bud as we tightened our belts."$^{:74}$ Bud briefly went missing when the party was leaving Chicago; according to one newspaper, he had gone sightseeing.
Bud stayed with Jackson and his family, and lived out his life with them. The dog appears in media such as Horatio's Drive: America's First Road Trip, a 2003 documentary, and the children's book Jackson and Bud's Bumpy Ride: America's First Cross-Country Automobile Trip (2009).
# Wanakena Footbridge

The Wanakena Footbridge was a pedestrian suspension bridge located at Wanakena in St. Lawrence County, New York. It was constructed in 1902 and spanned the Oswegatchie River. It was originally constructed to provide a crossing for the employees of the Rich Lumber Company to reach the no longer extant mills.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. In 2014 it was destroyed by an ice jam that floated downstream and collided with the bridge; two years later it was removed from the Register. In July 2016 a new bridge was dedicated and opened after fund raising by the Wanakena Historical Association and others.
# Ayush Badoni

# Sam Ziwa

In Mandaeism, Sam Ziwa (Classical Mandaic: ࡎࡀࡌ ࡆࡉࡅࡀ) is an uthra (angel or guardian) from the World of Light. Sam Ziwa is considered to be the Mandaean equivalent of Shem. He is also considered to be a guardian of the soul.
Sam is also a Mandaean masculine given name (see for example Abdullah bar Sam).

## Sam Mana Smira

Sam Ziwa may be identified with Sam Mana Smira (Smir Ziwa 'pure first Radiance', or Sam Smir Ziwa; Smir means 'preserved'), an uthra is mentioned in Qulasta prayers 9, 14, 28, 77, and 171, and Right Ginza 3 and 5.4. Yawar Mana Smira and Sam Smira Ziwa are mentioned in Right Ginza 14. Lidzbarski (1920) translates Sam Mana Smira as "Sām, the well-preserved Mānā."
# Carl Dilena

Carl Dilena (born 17 March 1967) is a former Australian rules footballer who played with Fitzroy and North Melbourne in the Victorian/Australian Football League (VFL/AFL).

## Playing career

Dilena started his career at South Australian National Football League (SANFL) club Sturt and was involved in a controversial incident late in the 1988 SANFL season when he was knocked unconscious from a charge by Russell Johnston. The Port Adelaide captain was suspended for five weeks and as a result missed playing in their premiership winning team.
He was selected by Fitzroy with the club's first pick, and third overall, in the 1988 VFL Draft. After appearing in the first seven rounds of the 1989 VFL season, he played just four more games for the rest of the year and another 12 in 1990.
North Melbourne then secured Dilena in the 1991 Pre-season draft, with pick 15. He performed well initially and in just his second game for his new club, against Adelaide, Dilena was influential with 39 disposals, with the next best North Melbourne player having just 20 disposals. In 1992, his final season, Dilena played just twice, but put in another good effort against Adelaide when he kicked a career high four goals.

## Executive career

Dilena joined the North Melbourne Football Club board in 2008, and he was CEO from 2013 to 2019.
In October 2022, Dilena joined the St Kilda Football Club board as Chief Operating Officer. Upon Simon Lethlean's departure in January 2024, Dilena became acting CEO. Dilena was formally appointed CEO on 9 May 2024.

## Personal life

Dilena was also a talented junior cricketer, representing South Australia at the 1981/82 National Under 16 Australian Cricket Championships.
# Raising hands in dua

In Islam, raising hands in Dua (Arabic: رفع اليدين في الدعاء) is the action of using hands to invoke Allah in dua.

## The view of limitation

Many scholars including especially Salafis limit this practice. According to them, basing on a lack of hadiths for other instances, with a fully authenticated chain, the practice of raising hands is specific to irregular prayers for needs and the Qunut of the Witr/Fajr prayers. This view excludes the practice of regularly raising the hands as sunnah and a mustahabb act of ibadah after fardh salah accompanying a dua. These scholars however do recognize raising hands during a dua not done after salah, saying that the Muslim should raise his hands with humility to Allah in the way instructed by Muhammad.
A few cases of Raising the hands in Dua being regarded as a forbidden innovation (Bidʻah) are:
* Salah (except for Qunut)
* Khutbah (in specific cases)
* Tawaf
* Sa'iye
* Ruku
* Standing up from Ruku [ar]
* Sujud
* Sitting in salah

## The view encouraging hand-raising after salah

Some scholars, while agreeing with not raising hands in Sujud, etc. extend its scope of application. Many such scholars hold the view of praiseworthiness of consistently praying dua after fardh Salah with hands raised, as a Sunnah action. For example, according to Ahmad ibn Idris al-Fasi there is no room for debate: "there are hadiths transmitted in support of this. One finds in Tirmidhi: “In the ritual prayer you beg. You are wretched and you are humble, and at the end you raise hands and exclaim “Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord!” Without this the prayer is a miscarriage” And this is manifestly true, being attested by a clear report. In the report they have established what the Messenger, God’s blessings and peace be upon him, did and ordered, and what he said about raising one’s hands."

# John II, Count Palatine of Simmern

John II (21 March 1492 – 18 May 1557) was the Count Palatine of Simmern from 1509 until 1557.

He succeeded his father in 1509. John II allowed printing to be established in Simmern and was a patron of sculpture. He introduced the Reformation into Simmern which led to increased tensions with his neighbours, the Archbishoprics of Trier and Mainz.

# Tomoya Okawa

Tomoya Okawa (Japanese: 大川智矢; born January 3, 1993) is a wushu taolu athlete from Japan. He is a one-time world champion, and multiple-time medalist at the World Wushu Championships and the Taolu World Cup.

## Career

Okawa started training wushu at the age of ten. He originally just practiced taijiquan, but eventually switched to modern changquan and later to jianshu and qiangshu in 2012. Okawa's international debut was at the 2013 World Wushu Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where he became the world champion in men's jianshu. He also won a silver medal in qiangshu. Two years later, Okawa competed in the 2015 World Wushu Championships and won a bronze medal in qiangshu. His high placements in changquan and jianshu qualified him to compete in three events at the 2016 Taolu World Cup in Fuzhou, China, where he won a gold medal in qiangshu and a silver medal in jianshu. That same year, he also won a silver medal in jianshu at the Asian Wushu Championships in Taoyuan, Chinese Taipei. A year later, Tomoya suffered a major ACL injury during training, but was able to compete and place high in the 2017 World Wushu Championships. He then went on to win silver medals in jianshu and qiangshu at the 2018 Taolu World Cup in Yangon, Myanmar.
# Scott Samuel

Scott Samuel is an American entrepreneur, early internet adopter and investor. He founded Honesty.com, ws CEO of Ethical Technologies, LLC, Chief Community Officer of Andale Inc, and an auction listing tool for eBay. LinkedIn's founder Reid Hoffman credits Samuel's early internet pioneering work in his book The Alliance: Managing Talent in the Networked Age.

## Career

Samuel ran God's Country a Diversi-Dial, or DDial, an online chat server that was popular during the mid-1980s. He ran the service between 1985–87 and 1989–1998.
Samuel originated the idea of internet auction page counters by setting up a prototype on his eBay listings. Users viewed his page and asked if they could use it. He presented it to eBay's board of directors. The number of users for the counter reached 20 within a couple of minutes, 100 within a week, and by late 1998, was being used by 10,000 sellers. He founded Honesty.com to host the auction counters on eBay. Honesty.com grew to 1.1m users from 1999 until it was acquired by Andale Inc. for $35m in 2000. Online Traders Web Alliance (OTWA) was the oldest independent messaging forum in the online-auction industry. Jim and Crystal Wells-Miller founded the site in 1999. In 2000 Honesty.com purchased OTWA.
In 1999 eBay was down for 22 hours due to a system crash. Tens of thousands of angered customers messaged eBay's support board. eBay CEO Meg Whitman responded by closing the boards. In an interview with Fortune, Samuel criticized the decision, "There was a joke going around: 'I guess there are no more problems at eBay' "These are your customers—you don't do that." At the 2004 eBay Live convention Samuel was one of the special guests to be auctioned off at the eBay Community Celebrity Auction to benefit Disabled Online Users Association (DOUA).

## Book Mentions

Samuel is mentioned in Greg Holden's 2006 book Secrets of the eBay Millionaires. In The Alliance: Managing Talent in the Networked Age, LinkedIn co-founder and former PayPal CEO Reid Hoffman credits Honesty.com's success with adoption of their counters and the techniques that Samuel developed as directly influencing PayPal to use their “Pay with PayPal” feature to encourage sellers to use their service. This same leveraging of users helped PayPal see exceptional growth.
