## Activism

Axelrod was named one of The Jewish Week’s "36 Under 36" in 2021. During pandemic theater shutdowns, he began posting on social media about Holocaust awareness and against antisemitism. He declared his goal of giving "voice to the voiceless", noting that Jews in 20th century American musical theater felt like outsiders despite their major contributions.
After the October 7 Hamas-led attacks on Israel and Broadway's tribute to Israel's hostages, Axelrod incorporated "Bring Him Home" into his show "A Place for Us". Some Jews told him his show had "given them more confidence to live Jewishly". Axelrod's approach to his activism includes not only fighting against antisemitism, but "fighting for Jewish vitality". When one audience member interrupted to demand that Axelrod consider suffering "in all parts of the world", Axelrod was reportedly open to the shout-out and respectfully agreed.

## Personal life

Axelrod had brain surgery during college.

Barton Chapel Congregational Church is a historic church in Robbins, Tennessee. The church building on U.S. Highway 27, built in 1926, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
The Congregational church in Robbins was established in 1885 as the Pilgrim Church. It was renamed Barton Chapel in honor of its first minister, William E. Barton. After attending Berea College, he spent two years as a circuit-riding preacher serving the church in Robbins as well as churches in Glenmary, Deer Lodge and Lancing. He left Robbins to continue his education at a seminary in Ohio. After finishing at the seminary, he went on to serve the First Congregational Church in Oak Park, Illinois, as its pastor for 25 years. He left Illinois to finish his career as a member of the faculty of the School of Religion at Vanderbilt University in Nashville. When the Congregational church in Robbins built a new building in 1926, the building was dedicated to Barton, who attended the cornerstone-laying ceremony.
The church is built from brick produced in Robbins, which was a center for brickmaking. The brick for the church was donated by the Southern Clay Manufacturing Company; the church walls were laid three bricks thick. Interior furnishings in the church include a podium and two altar chairs from Barton's church in Oak Park, pews donated by the women of the Oak Park church, and light fixtures donated by a friend of the Barton family.

# Statue of Gilgamesh, University of Sydney

The Statue of Gilgamesh at the University of Sydney, Camperdown, was created by Assyrian-Australian artist Lewis Batros on commission from the Assyrian community, and unveiled in 2000. The 2.5m concrete statue depicts Gilgamesh, an ancient Sumerian king of the city-state of Uruk whose legendary exploits are told in the Epic of Gilgamesh, an Akkadian epic poem written during the late second millennium BC, based on much earlier material.
The Gilgamesh Cultural Centre, on behalf of the Assyrian community, presented the statue to the University to commemorate its sesquicentenary. The statue was unveiled by Dame Leonie Kramer, A.C., and D.B.E., on 15 October 2000. It is located in the Camperdown/Darlington Campus of the University of Sydney between the Old Teachers College Building and the Women's Sports Centre, facing towards the Charles Perkins Centre.

## History

Gilgamesh was a king of Uruk in the land of Sumer, Mesopotamia. Gilgamesh is described as a demigod of superhuman strength, as he was two-thirds God from his mother, Ninsun, and one-third human from his father, the former king, Lugalbunda. Gilgamesh built the city walls of Uruk to defend his people. Gilgamesh fought the demon Humbaba (or Huwawa), along with wild man Enkidu and brought his head back to Uruk on a raft. The pair also defeated the Bull of Heaven sent by the furious goddess Ishtar. These conquered beasts can be linked to the creature in the statue as a representation of Gilgamesh's strength and power. Gilgamesh is seen as a worldly-wise, cultured king and protector who is at the centre of human society. The statue was erected to celebrate the might and power of Gilgamesh and commemorate his achievements as a protector and king.

## Inscription

Situated with the Statue of Gilgamesh is a bronze plaque with an inscription of the story of Gilgamesh, which reads:
   Gilgamesh, Assyrian King of Uruk during the third millennium BC, is part god and part man. He sets out on a quest to seek immortality. In the course of his quest, he finds compassion, friendship, courage, love and peace. In the 19th century, Sir Austen Henry Layard found clay tablets recounting The Epic of Gilgamesh in Ashourbanipal's 8th century BC library at Nineveh. This epic, one of the oldest written stories, is the basis of many myths, legends and tales, including modern ones.

## Artist

The statue was sculpted by Lewis Batros, whose other sculptures are exhibited in Fairfield and Sydney Olympic Park in Australia, in Moscow, and in the US. He has done many Assyrian-inspired works, some of which have been controversial, including a 4.5-metre-high (15 ft) monument to Assyrian victims of genocide commissioned by Fairfield council. He obtained a degree in fine art in 1986 and migrated to Australia in 1990. Many of Batros' works take inspiration from Assyrian heritage, stories, art and culture.
# Arene brasiliana

## Description

The shell can grow to be 7 mm in length.
The species' small, solid, white shell features radiating rose-pink blotches and approximately four whorls, the earlier of which are subtabulate. The suture is closely appressed. The minute protoconch is smooth. Spiral sculpture consists of three prominent crenulated cords on the body whorl's periphery, with a smaller thread in the interspaces, and three or four minor threads between the suture and the posterior major cord. On the base, the deep, narrow umbilicus has a coarsely crenulate margin and four equal crenulate minor threads between it and the anterior peripheral cord. The aperture is circular with a thickened peristome, somewhat crenulated by the external sculpture. Very fine incremental lines give the interstices a velvety appearance.

## Distribution

Arene brasiliana can be found from Panama to North Brazil. in climates of tropical to subtropical. The species is demersal, with a depth range from 10 to 81 meters at 9°N - 21°S, 82°E - 29°E.

The species is a mostly gonochoric and broadcast spawner. The embryos develop into planktonic trocophore larvae and later into juvenile veligers before becoming fully grown adults.
# Northwest Science Museum

Northwest Science Museum is a creationist museum in Idaho. It opened on June 14, 2014. The museum's directors plan to create a 350,000 square foot facility including a full-scale model of Noah's Ark near Boise, Idaho, replacing the museum's current "Vision Center" near the state capitol in Boise. The museum's founders say that their collection of Ica stones offer proof that humans and dinosaurs coexisted, that out-of-place artifacts constitute "damaging evidences [sic] against evolution", and they can show with other evidence the Earth is 6,000 years old and it was physically possible for Noah to bring dinosaurs on board the Ark.

## Inspiration

Fundraising documents published by the founders cite the Creation Museum in Kentucky as establishing the viability of a similar concern in Idaho.

## Collection

The museum's collection includes petrified wood, fossil dinosaur eggs, the Ica stones mentioned above and a replica of the "Lone Star" mastodon skull. They present the fossils as having been formed about 4,500 years ago in the Biblical Flood.

## Criticism

Almost three years before the museum opened, Hemant Mehta said "this place is going to be ripe for mockery...misnamed twice over — it's not science and it's hardly a museum". The Raw Story called Northwest Science Museum's Ica stones "fraudulent" and "a favorite artifact of many conspiracy theorists". London's The Independent newspaper filed the museum's opening under "weird news". A Salon.com editorial called it "beyond frustrating [n]ot just because of the pseudo-science dribbling out, but the fact that young children are being fed nonsense under the guise of 'true science'". Salon also found "much to take issue with — right down to the organization’s misleading use of the terms 'science' and 'museum.'"
# Evangelical Community in Congo

The Evangelical Community in Congo was established by Swedish missionaries, the Mission Covenant Church of Sweden, in 1881. The center of their activities was in Lower Congo, where British and American Baptist had already established mission points. The Svenska Missionsförbundet and the Baptists shared the beliefs of credobaptism. The church become independent and it shares a theological seminary in Kinshasa. The first year of the new denomination was marked by a revival of Pentecostal movement, but later it became more conscious of their Reformed heritage.

# Oak Hill Welsh Congregational Church

The Oak Hill Welsh Congregational Church is a historic former church in the village of Oak Hill, Ohio, United States. It was originally home to a congregation of Welsh immigrant miners, and it has been named a historic site.
Welsh miners from Cardiganshire began immigrating to the Hanging Rock region of southern Ohio as early as 1818, working in the blast furnaces and iron mines of the region. Some of them were Congregationalists, and some who established themselves in Jackson County formed a church in 1832. Nine years later, the church moved into Oak Hill, but their church building was not finished until 1869.
The church building is a brick structure with a tin roof and foundation of sandstone. Its primary builders, Isaac Parry and Thomas Herbert, produced a Greek Revival structure; although just one story tall, it features a bell tower atop the roof. The building as a whole is a simple rectangle, although the bell tower is octagonal.
Following decades of decline, the congregation disorganized in 1962; local Baptists bought the building, but after nine years they moved to a new structure. In 1972, local residents of Welsh descent purchased the former church and began operating it as a museum of Welsh culture, the "Welsh-American Heritage Museum". It has since become associated with the Welsh studies center at the nearby University of Rio Grande.
In 1978, the church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, qualifying both because of its architecture and because of its role in local religious and ethnic history. It is one of twelve Jackson County locations on the Register.
