# Balthazar Armas

Balthazar Armas (Caracas, Venezuela, 1941 – 2015) is considered one of the pioneers of the contemporary figurative art movement in Latin America, where the industrial and urban influences in his paintings make them both approachable and distinctive. His most recent work exhibits a postmodern influence, reflected in the presence of social narratives, indigenism, and social criticism. His most recent series, Andé Andé (2003), Botánica (2007), and Sobre el Vuelo (2007), convey the energy and mysticism of the people and environments of Latin American cultures.
Born in Caracas, Venezuela, he began as a self-taught artist in the 1950s and participated in the experimental theater movement at the Academy of Dramatic Art Carmen Antillano in Caracas. He later studied at the Neumann Institute of Graphic Arts and the Center for Graphic Studies (CEGRA) with a focus on engraving. Balthazar's first solo exhibitions date back to 1966, and he has since participated in numerous design, engraving, and art exhibitions across Latin America, Europe, and the United States, including at MOKA Gallery in Chicago, Illinois.
His awards and recognitions includes the Pratt Institute, Havana biennial, IE in Norway, Library of Congress, Art Museum of the Americas in Washington D.C, IE Gracovia, Poland, Premio "Braulio Salazar" Salón de Artes Arturo Michelena, Venezuela, and more.

# Elizabeth-Irene Baitie

Elizabeth-Irene Baitie (born 1970) is a Ghanaian writer of fiction for young adults.

## Biography

After attending Achimota School, Baitie studied biochemistry and chemistry at the University of Ghana, Legon, then received a postgraduate degree in clinical biochemistry from the University of Surrey and now runs a medical laboratory in Adabraka. She wanted to write stories since she was seven years old and fits her writing around her day job and family life in Accra with three children and a husband. She writes after work, during weekends and also during commuting time.

## Awards

She has twice won First Prize in the Burt Award for African Literature given by the Canadian Organisation for Development through Education with support from the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY): in 2009 for her novel The Twelfth Heart and in 2012 for The Dorm Challenge. The Twelfth Heart went on to sell 35,000 copies in the couple of years following the prize. In 2006 Baitie won the Macmillan Prize for Africa (Junior Readers) for her story "A Saint in Brown Sandals", and four years earlier her novel Lea's Christmas was shortlisted for the 2002 Macmillan Writers' Prize for Africa (Senior Readers). It has been suggested that there are more women writers in Ghana than a couple of decades ago, and that prizes for their work contribute to their success and encourage publishers to sign them up.

## Writing

Baitie writes for preteens as well as older teenagers. She visits schools and has worked with organisations like the Young Educators Foundation to promote reading and books. She likes to offer her readers excitement and a chance to escape into a different world, choosing not to emphasise themes of poverty and disadvantage in her books, unlike some other young people's literature in Ghana. In both The Twelfth Heart and The Dorm Challenge the theme of friendship is explored through the central character of Mercy, a girl who leaves her small village behind and meets new people at boarding school.

# Tekiya

Tekiya (的屋 or テキ屋; "peddlers") are itinerant Japanese merchants who, along with the bakuto ("gamblers"), historically were predecessors to the modern yakuza. A loose American equivalent of the tekiya could be seen in carnies.

## History

Tekiya ranked as one of the lowest social groups during the Edo period. As they began to form organizations of their own, they took over some administrative duties relating to commerce, such as stall allocation and protection of their commercial activities. During Shinto festivals, these peddlers opened stalls and some members were hired to act as security. Each peddler paid rent in exchange for a stall assignment and protection during the fair.
The tekiya were a highly structured and hierarchical group with the oyabun (boss) at the top and kobun (gang members) at the bottom. This hierarchy resembles a structure similar to the family – in traditional Japanese culture, the oyabun was often regarded as a surrogate father, and the kobun as surrogate children. During the Edo period, the government formally recognized the tekiya. At this time, within the tekiya, the oyabun were appointed as supervisors and granted near-samurai status, meaning they were allowed the dignity of a surname and two swords.
Unlike the bakuto who gamble (gambling was and still is illegal in Japan), the tekiya's line of work was generally legal. However, they also engaged in illicit activities such as the creation of protection rackets and would sometimes engage in gang warfare with other groups. In addition, their itinerant lifestyle often attracted fugitives to join their ranks.
Although the tekiya/bakuto lines have been blurred with the emergence of the modern Japanese yakuza in the 20th century, many of today's yakuza still identify with one group over the other.

# Siege of Naples (536)

The siege of Naples in 536 was a successful siege of Naples by the Eastern Roman Empire under Belisarius during the Gothic War.
The Byzantine army under Belisarius, having subdued Sicily with ease, landed on mainland Italy in late spring 536, and advanced along the coast on Naples. The citizens of Naples, after being roused by two pro-Gothic orators named Pastor and Asclepiodotus, decided to resist, even though Belisarius presented the city with very favorable conditions for surrender. The citizens of Naples were also under the impression that Theodahad, king of the Ostrogoths, would send an army to relieve them.
However, the siege dragged on for twenty days with numerous Byzantine casualties, and Belisarius was preparing to abandon it, until an Isaurian soldier under his command discovered an entrance into the city through its disused aqueduct. Belisarius sent engineers to widen the hole in the aqueduct while sending some soldiers to clear out the noise of the engineers working by banging their shields together. After giving the city a final chance to surrender, Belisarius launched his troops in a brutal sack.
   The gold and silver are the just rewards of your valour, but spare the inhabitants, they are Christians, they are suppliants, they are now your fellow subjects. Restore the children to their parents, the wives to their husbands; and shew them by your generosity, of what friends they have obstinately deprived themselves.
According to John Julius Norwich:
   Belisarius had warned the Neapolitans at the beginning of the siege that if they put up any resistance he would be unable to restrain his army - which, he reminded them, was largely composed of semi-savage barbarians - from the murder, rapine and pillage which they would consider their just reward after the capture of the city. But the warning had been ignored, and the miserable citizens now paid the price of their heroism. It was many hours before Belisarius was able to persuade his motley hordes of Alans and Isaurians, Herulians and Huns - these last the most terrifying of all time, being pagans, they had no compunction in burning down the churches in which their intended victims had sought asylum - to put up their swords and spears and return to their various camps.
The Ostrogothic garrison of 800 men was taken prisoner and treated well.The citizens of Naples, meanwhile, angrily killed Asclepiodotus for convincing them to reject Belisarius's demands, while Pastor committed suicide as the city fell.

### Firouzja controversy

Going into the final round of the tournament, Alireza Firouzja had the chance to tie for first with a win in his final game. However, due to the tournament's tiebreaker rules, he would be unable to compete for first place even if he finished with the same number of points as the tournament's leaders. In his final round matchup against Radosław Wojtaszek, the arbiters suggested mid-game that the two move to a different table, irritating Firouzja. The situation generated controversy, with many players supporting Firouzja and claiming that arbiters shouldn't interrupt games in such situations. and the event organizers ultimately apologized. The game ultimately ended in a draw, and Firouzja placed fifth in the tournament with a score of 8/13 (+4-1=8). Firouzja accepted the organizers' apology, but demanded a financial compensation for the incident as part of negotiations for his participation in 2022. His demand was turned down, and Firouzja didn't participate in the 2022 tournament.
