# Battle of Mehrnbach

The Battle of Mehrnbach (also known as the Battle of Ried) on 30 October 1805 saw the French vanguard commanded by Marc Antoine de Beaumont engaging an Austro-Russian rearguard detachment during the War of the Third Coalition.

## Background

The battle of Mehrnbach took place shortly after the surrender of the Austrian troops in Ulm, from where the road to Vienna lay open to the Grande Armée. The French and Bavarian troops followed the retreating Austrian units commanded by Michael von Kienmayer, which had united with Russian troops at Braunau. In Braunau Maximilian von Merveldt took command of the Austrian troops and led them towards Vienna. There were several rearguard battles in the Danube region.

## Battle

The French troops setting off from Braunau marched on the road to Ried. At the head of the column was the 1st Regiment of Chasseurs à Cheval as well as the 8th and 12th Dragoon Regiments. Alongside the cavalry marched an infantry detachment from Davout's Corps (two battalions of the 17th Line Infantry Regiment and two battalions of the 30th Line Infantry Regiment). They were met in the environs of Mehrnbach by an Austrian cavalry unit positioned on the heights. Joachim Murat and his cavalry attacked the Austrian cavalry and threw them back. At the same time, an Austrian infantry company positioned in front of Mehrnbach surrendered to the French. The French official state newspaper Moniteur described the insignificant fighting as the victorious "battle of Ried".

## Aftermath

The Austro-Russian troops have been unable to stop the rapidly advancing troops of the Grande Armée. On the same day the French occupied the city of Ried and marched further west, where they clashed with the coalition allies again at Gaspoltshofen.

# Sutra of Hearing the Messiah

The Sutra of Hearing the Messiah (Chinese: 序聽迷詩所經; pinyin: Xùtīng Míshīsuǒ Jīng) is a Chinese language manuscript about Christian teachings from the Church of the East. It is considered to be one of the oldest of the Jingjiao Documents, dated between 635 AD and 638 AD. The Sutra of Hearing the Messiah was found at the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang and collected by Takakusu Junjiro.

## Contents

Composed of 206 verses, the document provides a basic outline of the fundamental teachings of Christianity. It begins with twenty verses of invocation about the invisible God and to the heavenly spirits that serve him, followed by a description of humanity and the distance caused by sin and the condition of mortality. The text continues to speak of the virgin birth and the death of Jesus Christ. The manuscript is incomplete, ending abruptly and mid-verse discussing Jesus' death.

## Chinese Terms

This document is thought to have been one of the early missionary devices of the Church of the East, dating around the time of Bishop Alopen, a Syriac-speaking Persian. The translations of names and religious terms in this text are different to the modern translations, and in some cases show influence from Buddhism. Some examples of translations of names are given in the table below.

# Úštěk Synagogue

Úštěk Synagogue (Czech: Synagoga v Úštěku, German: Die Synagoge in Auscha, Hebrew: בית הכנסת אושה) is a 18th century Jewish synagogue, located in the town of Úštěk, in the Litoměřice District of the Ústí nad Labem Region, in the Czech Republic. The building has been spared of near complete collapse after 1989 and eventually restored to its original baroque appearance. It has served as the region's Jewish museum since 2014, as well as an active place of worship of the tiny local Jewish community.

## History

The modest, Baroque synagogue is made of sandstone from a nearby quarry. The current structure was built shortly after the previous building was destroyed in a fire in 1793. It was in use until the Second World War. It survived the war, but the adjacent houses were torn down and the synagogue was allowed to deteriorate during the post-war period. The roof decayed, and the interior furnishings were burned.
The building was renovated by the Czech Jewish Federation in a project that began in 1995–2003 and 2010–2014. The synagogue was re-opened to the public in June 2014.

# 1979 Belizean general election

General elections were held in Belize on 21 November 1979. The result was a victory for the ruling People's United Party, which won 13 of the 18 seats. Voter turnout was 90%.

## Background

The PUP went into the election with a 13–5 majority, having picked up a seat after the previous election when Toledo District Area Rep. Vicente Choco crossed the floor from the opposition United Democratic Party in 1975. The election results confirmed that 13-5 majority.
In 1979, Belizeans were concerned about their progress toward independence and the Guatemalan claim to the colony. The UDP were not in favour of advancing on the former issue without a substantial settlement of the latter, and this led the PUP to turn the election into a sort of referendum on that question. By their turnout (a record high) and their support for the PUP, Belizeans made clear their preferences and set in motion the chain of events that would lead to independence in 1981.

## Results

Although the popular vote total was close, the PUP won a supermajority of seats due to the first-past-the-post voting system.
| Party | Party | Votes | % | Seats | +/– |
| | People's United Party | 23,309 | 52.44 | 13 | +1 |
| | United Democratic Party | 21,045 | 47.35 | 5 | –1 |

# Keith Gave

Keith Gave is an author and sportswriter.
In 1989, while working as a sports reporter for the Detroit Free Press, Gave secretly passed a message from the Detroit Red Wings to two Russian players, Sergei Fedorov and Vladimir Konstantinov, that the Wings had recently drafted. The two would eventually defect in order to play for the Wings, and were part of the Russian Five that led the Red Wings to two consecutive Stanley Cup wins in the 1990s. Gave later wrote a book about the Russian Five, and the book was also made into a documentary film in 2019.

## Early career

Before his sports journalism career, Gave worked as a Russian linguist for the National Security Agency for six years. He then spent 15 years covering hockey for the Detroit Free Press. His two careers put him in a unique position when Detroit Red Wings executive vice-president Jim Lites contacted him in July 1989, asking for his help in passing a secret message to two Soviet hockey players recently drafted by the Wings: Sergei Fedorov and Vladimir Konstantinov. Soviet players at the time were not allowed to leave their country to play in the NHL, and Gave was to be a go-between for the Wings at an exhibition game in Helsinki, letting the players know that the Wings wanted them to defect. This began a process that would eventually culminate in the Red Wings forming the Russian Five line.
While in Detroit, Gave also co-hosted a morning show called The Morning Battery with Butch Stearns on all-sports radio station WDFN-AM in Detroit from February 1995 until January 1996. Gave succeeded former Major League pitcher Lary Sorensen, who was the original co-host of the show which began in July 1994.

## Post-Detroit

Gave left Detroit for a time, working in Chicago for the Associated Press and then in Dallas for The Dallas Morning News. He also covered ice hockey at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan.

## Return to Michigan

In 2001, Gave left sports writing to teach journalism and English at Kirtland Community College in Michigan. In 2008, he took a job at Washtenaw Community College, where he taught until 2014. In February 2016, he was named the new Sports Director of the Blarney Stone Broadcasting radio network, where he also wrote columns for the network's website.

## The Russian Five book and film

In 2018, Gave's first book, The Russian Five: A Story of Espionage, Defection, Bribery and Courage, was published. The book included an account of his role in first contacting Fedorov and Konstantinov in 1989, and described in detail the overall story of how the Red Wings eventually brought the five Russians together, culminating in Detroit's first Stanley Cup since 1955. A documentary film based on the book, also called The Russian Five, was released in 2019. Gave served as a producer and writer on the film.
# Aleksei Kostylev
