# James T. Farley

James Thompson Farley (August 6, 1829 – January 22, 1886) was a United States Senator from California.

## Early life

He was born in Albemarle County, Virginia, and moved to Missouri at an early age. Drawn by the discovery of gold and hastened by a duel in which he nearly killed a man who had been his rival for a woman's affections, Farley moved to California in 1849. He tried mining for gold in Calaveras and Tuolumne counties but had little success. As an alternative to the mining work, he studied law. Farley was admitted to the bar in 1854, commencing his law practice in Amador County.

## Political career

He was elected to the California State Assembly from Amador County at the age of 25 as a member of the Whig Party. At the time, only five years after California had become a state and in accordance with the original Constitution of California, members of the assembly were chosen annually. Farley ran for re-election in 1855, this time as a member of the Know Nothing Party, which was in the majority of the legislature at the time. He again shifted allegiances to the Democratic Party following the collapse of the Know Nothing Party, remaining with the strong political contingent in the assembly and was elected to be Speaker of the Assembly in 1856.
He moved from the state assembly to the California State Senate where he served for as a Democrat. He served as president pro tempore for one session, from 1871 to 1872. He was a friend and spokesperson for the administration of Governor Haight.
He was for several years the recognized leader of the Democratic Party in California, and in 1873 received the caucus nomination of his party for U.S. Senate to fill the vacancy created by the retirement of John S. Hager. However, his nomination was defeated by Governor Newton Booth, an independent anti-monopolist. Fortuitously, Senator Aaron A. Sargent retired three years later and Farley was again nominated, and this time elected to the U.S. Senate from California in 1877. He served there from 1879 until 1885. He was not a candidate for renomination in 1884.
He resumed the practice of law after leaving Washington, D.C., and died in Jackson, California in 1886 after three years of struggling with illness. He is buried in City Cemetery in Jackson.

## Personal life

Farley was described as having a "fine appearance, warmth and congeniality of feelings." His law practice in Jackson served as a launching pad for other California politicians such as Judge Henry L. Waldo who became the district attorney of Amador County from 1867 until 1870, as well as Anthony Caminetti, who also became the district attorney of Amador County but later became a United States representative from California from 1891 to 1895.
He was married in 1876 to Flora Forester Phelps of Amador County. They were the parents of a son and a daughter.

# Amphitheatre of Durrës

The Amphitheatre of Durrës (Albanian: Amfiteatri i Durrësit; Latin: Amphitheatrum Dyrrhachinum) is a Roman amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Durrës, Albania. Construction began under the emperor Trajan in the 2nd century AD and it was destroyed twice by earthquakes in the 6th and 10th centuries. It is the largest Roman amphitheatre ever built in the Balkan Peninsula, once having a capacity of 20,000 people.
The amphitheatre is included on the tentative list of Albanian UNESCO World Heritage Sites. It was discovered in late 1966, and has since become a popular tourist attraction.

## History

The amphitheatre was built in the beginning of the 2nd century AD, and was used for performances until the 4th century AD. The earthquake of 345/346 likely damaged the monument and closed the 'ludii gladiatorii'. An early Christian chapel was constructed on the amphitheatre in the second half of the 4th century. The chapel was initially decorated with frescoes; in the 6th century, mosaics were added. A medieval chapel was built in the 13th century, also decorated with frescoes. The amphitheatre was covered over in the 16th century, after the Ottoman occupation, when a wall was built nearby. Marin Barleti described the monument as 'well constructed'.
About one third of the site was discovered and excavated in the 1960s by Vangjel Toci; the rest was excavated in the 1980s by Lida Miraj. After excavation the amphitheater slowly deteriorated, as no conservation efforts were undertaken prior to the 2000s, and construction continued to take place around the site. In 2004, the University of Parma started restoration work to save the monument.

## Site

The amphitheatre has an elliptical shape with axes of 132.4 metres (434 ft) and 113.2 metres (371 ft). The arena is 61.4 metres (201 ft) by 42.2 metres (138 ft) and is 20 metres (66 ft) high. It is built on a sloping hillside, and inside the amphitheatre there are staircases and galleries at different levels. The chapel with mosaics is preserved.
The site currently functions as a museum.

## Dangers

The amphitheatre is surrounded on all sides by the city of Durrës, and a section of the arena itself has been built upon with modern housing. Thus, development pressures threaten the long-term preservation of the site. The municipality of Durrës is now planning to remove the houses.
The amphitheatre has serious structural deficiencies, and its mosaics and paintings are slowly decaying.
In 2013, the amphitheatre was shortlisted along with thirteen other sites by Europa Nostra as one of the most endangered cultural heritage sites in Europe.

# Libya–Syria relations

Libya–Syria relations are the bilateral relations between Libya and Syria. The two countries are members of the Arab League, OIC and the United Nations.

## History

Libya and Syria established diplomatic relations in 1963. Muammar Gaddafi visited Syria on November 16, 1970, just three days after the Corrective Movement, which brought Hafez al-Assad to power. In 1984, Gaddafi provided $200 million to vice-president Rifaat al-Assad and helped resolve the conflict between the two brothers, ensuring Hafez al-Assad's continued rule in Syria.
During the Syrian civil war, President Bashar al-Assad's response was often compared by protesters to Muammar Gaddafi's crackdown during the Libyan uprising in February 2011. On 16 September 2011, Syria voted at the United Nations General Assembly to accredit the National Transitional Council (NTC) as the representative of Libya. However, the Assad government permitted Al-Rai TV, a Syrian station, to broadcast pro-Gaddafi propaganda, including audio messages from Gaddafi, his family members, and former Information Minister Moussa Ibrahim.
On 10 October 2011, Libya became the first country to recognize the Syrian National Council (SNC), an opposition umbrella group, as "the sole legitimate government in Syria." NTC official Musa Al-Koni announced the recognition and stated that the Syrian Embassy in Tripoli would be closed until further notice. The NTC also promised to hand over control of the Syrian Embassy in Tripoli to SNC representatives.
On 1 March 2020, a Libyan delegation representing the Libyan House of Representatives visited Damascus to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) aimed at reactivating diplomatic missions between the two countries.
Following the fall of the Assad regime, Libyan Minister of State for Communication and Political Affairs Walid Ellafi visited Damascus on 28 December 2024 to meet Ahmed Al-Sharaa, the de facto leader of Syria. On 5 January 2025, 34 tons of Libyan humanitarian aid arrived at Damascus Airport to support the Syrian people.

# Bang Jun-hyuk

Bang Jun-hyuk (Korean: 방준혁; born December 23, 1968) is a South Korean businessman. The founder and chairman of the largest mobile gaming company in the country, Netmarble, he is among the richest people in South Korea. When Netmarble acquired Coway in 2019, he also became the chairman of Coway. In April 2024, Forbes estimated his net worth at US$1.01 billion and ranked him 40th richest in the country.

## Biography

Bang was born on December 23, 1968 in Seoul, South Korea. He was born into poverty. He claimed that, while he was in elementary school, he delivered newspapers to help support the family. In 1985, he dropped out after attending two years of high school and worked to help support his family. He was reportedly unsuccessful in much of his early career. He also reportedly was once the victim of a scam, and lost all of his money. At age 30, he founded an internet movie rental business, but the business failed. In 1999, founded an internet-related business that was popular but did not recoup its investment costs. Around this time, he heard that the video game developer Ipopsoft (아이팝소프트) was in crisis. While still a company outsider, he helped the company overcome its crisis by finding investors. When the company again went into crisis, he took over the company and reorganized it into Netmarble. Bang then oversaw Netmarble's rapid growth. After several initial successes, the company caught the attention of the conglomerate CJ Group, which agreed to acquire it in 2004. He stepped down from the company in 2006 due to unspecified health concerns (he later claimed to be exhausted), and took a hiatus for five years. He reportedly was attempting to start another gaming company before he was asked to return by CJ.
Upon his return to Netmarble, he shifted the business to focusing on the mobile gaming market. In 2015, Netmarble ranked 8th in app sales globally. In 2016, he owned around 32% of Netmarble stock. In May 2017, Netmarble went public after raising US$2.4 billion, which was the largest listing in the country in seven years. In 2017, he became the richest self-made billionaire in the country and the sixth richest in the country, then holding 24.47% of company stock.
He is reportedly a cousin of Bang Si-hyuk, who would eventually become CEO of Big Hit Entertainment. The two reportedly have collaborated on business ventures that utilized their respective companies' strengths.

## Personal life

He is married to Shin Hye-yeong (신혜영), with whom he has two sons and one daughter.

# Oxmoor Farm

Oxmoor Farm is an estate in Louisville, Kentucky located 8 miles (13 km) east of downtown. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. It has also been termed Oxmoor or the Bullitt Estate.

## History

Oxmoor was surveyed in 1774 and was the home of Sturgis Station fort by 1780, when it was granted to Col. William Christian. Alexander Scott Bullitt married Christian's daughter in 1786 and Christian gave the 2,000-acre (810 ha) farm to them as a wedding present. Christian was killed by Native Americans later that year.
Alexander Bullitt purchased an adjoining 1,000 acres (400 ha) in 1787 to expand the farm and named it Oxmoor after the fictional farm in Tristram Shandy, with a new house being completed in 1791, a year before Kentucky separated from Virginia to become a separate state. Alexander Bullitt became Kentucky's first Lieutenant Governor in 1800 and Bullitt County, Kentucky is named in his honor. Alexander Bullitt died in 1816 and willed the farm to his youngest son William. William Bullitt expanded the farmhouse in the late 1820s, but closed the house in 1863 and rented out the farmlands after slaves were freed in the United States under the Emancipation Proclamation. William Bullitt died in 1877 and his wife died in 1879. Then the farm was divided between their children.
From 1906 to 1909 a great-grandson of Alexander Bullitt, William Marshall Bullitt, purchased the lands from the different family owners and reopened the main house. When William Marshall Bullitt died in 1957, the farm was passed to his son Thomas Walker Bullitt under a trustee arrangement that prohibited him from selling it. In the 1960s, the farm was split under the process of eminent domain to build Interstate 64. Due to the trustee arrangement of the land, the Bullitt family formed Beargrass Corporation to manage the leasing of the land for Oxmoor Center, Oxmoor Country Club, and other commercial uses.
