# Nikolay Burenin

Nikolay Yevgenyevich Burenin (Russian: Николай Евгеньевич Буренин, also known with aliases "German Fedorovich", "German", "Neburenin" and "Viktor Petrovich"; December 17, 1874 – June 30, 1962) was a Russian Bolshevik revolutionary, writer, concert pianist and music collector who worked as an organizer and specialist for Bolshevik illegal operations. He was a member of the Union of Soviet Writers.

## Life

Burenin was born in Saint Petersburg into a wealthy merchant family. He graduated from the Petrovskoye School of Commerce in 1892 and studied later at the Imperial Academy of Arts. He worked as concert pianist and joined the Russian revolutionary movement in 1901. Burenin was a member of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party since 1904.
The Burenin family owned a mansion in Kirjasalo near the border between Russia and its autonomous part Grand Duchy of Finland. It was used for smuggling weapons and illegal literature across the border and for organizing border crossings for delegates of the 4th and 5th Congress of the Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. Transports arrived at the Roshchino railway station where they were picked by Burenin and his associates. He was also organizing underground printing presses and warehouses for propaganda literature, arranged safe houses and raised funds for the revolutionary action. Burenin was involved with the 1905 attempt to smuggle arms for the Finnish resistance with steamboat John Grafton and the 1906 robbery of Russian State Bank branch in Helsinki.
After the bank robbery Burenin traveled to the United States as Maxim Gorky's personal secretary on his fund-raising trip. In November 1906 Gorky, Maria Andreyeva and Burenin arrived in Italy. He spent three months on the island of Capri as Gorky stayed there for seven years. Burenin was arrested in 1907 and kept in Kresty Prison for one year but still continued his activities in the Bolshevik movement. After the October Revolution he worked in the People's Commissariat for Education and later in the theater department of the Department of Public Education in Saint Petersburg. In the 1920s Burenin served as a trade representative in Finland (1920–1925) and in Germany (1925–1929). In the early 1930s Burenin was working on the archives relating to the history of the Russian revolution. He retired in 1935. Burenin's memoirs were published posthumously in 1967.

## Memory

In the Krasnogvardeysky District of Saint Petersburg is a street named after Burenin. His musical collection is archived in the National Library of Russia. It is suggested that the character "Behemoth" in Mikhail Bulgakov's novel The Master and Margarita was inspired by Burenin.

# Shelbyville Daily Union

The Shelbyville Daily Union, "Shelby County's No. 1 News Source," was a daily newspaper serving Shelbyville, Illinois. It was owned by Community Newspaper Holdings Inc.
Missing only two editions since starting as the Shelbyville Weekly Union in 1863, the Union was the county's first daily on January 22, 1887. The Union passed through several local ownership groups before being acquired by Hollinger International in May 1999. That company held on to the Union for a year and a half before selling it to CNHI, which still owns it.
On May 28, 2020, CNHI Effingham, locally represented by publisher Darrell Lewis, announced that they would be switching from print to a digital format. This resulted in the Golden Prairie News, owned by Paddock Publications and Southern Illinois Local Media Group, being the only active weekly newspaper remaining in Shelby County. That changed in July 2020 when the Paddock-owned Shelbyville Eagle was established, making it the second newspaper in Shelby County under Paddock ownership. The day-to-day operations of the Shelbyville Eagle were handled by the Sullivan News Group in Sullivan, Illinois.
As of July 2021, the Daily Union website is no longer populating content, with Shelbyville and Shelby County news permanently established inside the Effingham Daily News.

# Thagyamin

Thagyamin (Burmese: သိကြားမင်း, pronounced; from Sanskrit ၐကြ Śakra) is the highest-ranking nat (deity) in traditional Burmese Buddhist belief. Considered as the king of Heaven, he is the Burmese adaptation of the Hindu deities Indra.

## Etymology

Thagyamin (သိကြားမင်း) is derived from the combination of the Sanskrit word "Shakra" (शक्र; a synonym of Indra) and the Burmese word "Min" (မင်း; a common title meaning Lord/King). He is also known by his nickname ''U Magha'' (ဦးမာဃ) derived from his preexistential name.

## Description

Thagyamin is often portrayed as holding a conch shell in one hand, and a yak-tail fly-whisk in the other, and seated or standing atop a three-headed white elephant (Airavata). He is described as the ruler of the celestial kingdom Trāyastriṃśa (တာဝတိံသာ).
He was designated as the supreme deity of the official pantheon of 37 ahtet nat (အထက်နတ်, upper deities) by King Anawrahta in the 11th century, in an effort to streamline animist and Hindu practices among the populace and merge these practices with Theravada Buddhism. He is the only nat in the official pantheon not to have undergone a sudden and violent death, called a "raw" death (အစိမ်းသေ).
According to Burmese traditional folklore, every year at the first day of Thingyan (the Burmese new year), Thagyamin visits the earth while being invisible. There, he observes every person: he records the names of good people in a golden book, and writes the names of evildoers in a book made of dog-skin leather. On the third day of Thingyan, he returns to heaven.

# Dossabhoy Muncherji Raja

Khan Sahib Dossabhoy Muncherji Raja (1873–1947) was the first native Indian to be appointed 'Principal Appraiser' of precious stones for the customs office of the Bombay Presidency, which was then a province of British India.
The title of Khan Sahib was conferred upon Dossabhoy Raja on 2 January 1933 by the (then) Viceroy and Governor General of India, Lord Willingdon, in recognition of his role in the apprehension of a gang of smugglers. Raja had surreptitiously visited Jamnagar on the Gulf of Kutch in Gujarat, which was then under a Nawab's rule and outside British Imperial jurisdiction. Clad in a dhoti and posing as a Gujarati trader, Raja had then risked his life to collect information on smugglers operating on the northern borders of the Presidency. The information Raja collected led to the arrest of the gang.
Dossabhoy Muncherji Raja was a Parsi-Zoroastrian and a resident of Bombay's (today Mumbai) Dadar Parsi Colony. The Citation (Sanad) of the Khan Sahib title and the coveted Khan Sahib medal are today in the possession of Raja's descendants in Mumbai.

# Oxford and Cambridge Musical Club

The Oxford and Cambridge Musical Club was founded in London in 1899 as a residential Club for Gentlemen. At the club's foundation, it was open (principally) to past and present members of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The club's original purpose was the performance of chamber music, augmented by song and solo piano and instrumental items. Its first premises were at 47 Leicester Square but from 1914 to 1940 the club was situated at 6 Bedford Square. Ladies were first admitted in 1938. After 1940 the club ceased to be a residential club. In later years the programmes expanded to include orchestral music, and from 1956, an annual opera.
Today the club provides music-making activities in central London with membership open to all. It has an association with the University College London Chamber Music Club but no longer maintains connections with the universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

## Club history

The heyday of the club in its original form was from 1900 to 1940 and many famous musicians, politicians and artists of the day were members. The first President of the Club was Dr. Joseph Joachim, the violinist and friend of the composer Brahms. At the establishment of the Club, a number of prominent people were invited to become honorary members, including the Prime Minister Arthur Balfour - who succeeded Joachim as Club President, composers Sir Hubert Parry and Sir Alexander Mackenzie and the conductor Hans Richter.
The Club Archives are held at the Bodleian Library Department of Special Collections in Oxford. An electronic archive of concert programmes from March 1922 onwards is maintained on the Club's website.

# Cuba–Greece relations

Cuba has an embassy in Athens and Greece has an embassy in Havana. Greek positions on matters concerning Cuba are elaborated jointly with other European Union members.

## History

There are between 30 and 50 people of Greek descent in Cuba. They are located mostly in Havana, where there is a Greek embassy. In 2004, Cuba built its first church in 43 years, the St. Nikolaos Greek Orthodox Church in Old Havana. It serves Havana's estimated 8,000 Orthodox Christians, 50 of whom are Greek. Cuba's first Greek Orthodox church, Saints Constantine and Helen, was built in 1950 but was never used for church services. As of 2004, it remained the home of a children's theater company, despite diplomatic efforts by Giorgos Kostoulas, Greece's ambassador to Cuba, to return the church to its original purpose.
The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was one of 30 political leaders, and the only one in Europe, to attend Fidel Castro's funeral in 2016.
# Maher Marwan

Maher Muhammad Marwan (Arabic: ماهر محمد مروان) is the current Governor of Damascus, appointed on 15 December 2024 following the fall of the Assad regime.

## Early life and education

Maher Marwan was in Damascus, Syria. He holds a bachelor's degree in Islamic Sharia and worked for ten years in business administration.
During the early stages of the Syrian civil war in 2011, Marwan fled to Idlib due to persecution by security forces loyal to the Assad regime. There he became a vocal critic of Assad, describing him as having "built a wall between himself and the people".

## Statements on Israel

In December 2024, Marwan made headlines for remarks during an interview with NPR, where he stated, "We are not afraid of Israel, nor do we want to engage in anything that threatens Israel's security or any other nation's security". He later clarified his comments, emphasizing that his focus was on internal peace in Syria, not foreign relations.
Marwan also called on the United States to convey a message to Israel, expressing a desire for peace. His comments sparked reactions from both local and international analysts, with some viewing them as indicative of a pragmatic shift in Syrian policy.

## Personal life

Marwan has consistently denied affiliations with extremist groups such as al-Qaeda. He expressed support for the decision by Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham to sever ties with al-Qaeda, aligning with his focus on national stability and reform.
