# Golden Girdle of Gaea

The Golden Girdle of Gaea is a fictional object depicted in the DC Comics book Wonder Woman. Originally created by William Moulton Marston as the Magic Girdle of Aphrodite from its tradition as originating from the Girdle of Aphrodite or Venus as an allegory for the power of women's allure, it is based on the mythological girdle obtained by Heracles from Hippolyte as part of his Twelve Labors.

## Comic book history

Originally when the Themyscirian Amazons were created by the Olympian gods, they assigned Hippolyta and Antiope to rule as co-queens to the new nation. When they assigned these titles they gave each of the Amazon queens a Golden Girdle of Gaea, which were made from the original girdle belonging to the Earth goddess Gaea. The belts provided the two queens with enhanced strength and heightened their other abilities.
Eventually the demi-god Heracles was successful in stealing Hippolyta's belt at the urging of his half-brother Ares. After denouncing the Olympian gods for perceived false judgement, Antiope gave Hippolyta her girdle and left the Amazon nation with a group of faithful Amazons with her. They later became the Amazons of Bana-Mighdall. Together they retrieved Hippolyta's stolen belt and kept it as an heirloom.
Thousands of years later when Wonder Woman discovered this lost tribe of Amazons, she battled one of their warriors named Shim'Tar. Shim'Tar used the power of the Girdle of Gaea to defeat Diana. She would have been successful had the Olympian god Hermes not come to Diana's aid. After Shim'Tar was defeated Diana took the belt and returned it to her mother Hippolyta.
Similarly, the belt given to Hippolyta by Antiope was taken from Hippolyta by the goddess Hestia and transformed into Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth.
# Youngstown station (Erie Railroad)

Youngstown was a station along the Erie Railroad and later the Erie-Lackawanna Railway, from 1922 to 1977 in Youngstown, Ohio. All railroad tracks behind the terminal have been removed, and the building is currently known as Erie Terminal Place, alternative student housing for students attending Youngstown State University.

## Passenger train services

The station into the 1960s served several long distance Erie-Lackawanna trains (each, former Erie Railroad trains) on the road's Hoboken, New Jersey–Chicago, Illinois circuit: the Atlantic Express/Pacific Express, the Erie Limited, the Lake Cities. The final run of the Lake Cities, the last of these trains after 1965, was in January 1970.
The Erie-Lackawanna, and then, Conrail, continued commuter rail services between Cleveland Union Terminal and Youngstown. Conrail ended this service on January 14, 1977.
# Mona-Kimbundo

Mona-Kimbundo is a town and commune of Angola, located in the province of Lunda Sul.
# Attajdid

Attajdid (The Renewal in English) is a Moroccan newspaper which is published in Arabic.

## History and profile

Attajdid was established in 1999. The paper has a generally Muslim conservative stance and the media outlet of the Movement of Unity and Reform. It has also close ties with Justice and Development Party. The paper is headquartered in Casablanca.

## Controversy

In 2003, the paper published critical articles against those who listened to heavy metal in the country and developed an analogy between heavy metal music and satanism. On 6 January 2005, Attajdid published an article by its editor-in-chief Lhassan Sarrat that the deadly 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and ensuing tsunami was God's punishment for sex tourism, homosexuality and child trafficking in southeast Asia, and that the best warning system for such catastrophes was following the teaching of Islam. They stated that Morocco was the next destination for this "tourism of debauchery". This statement attracted considerable controversy and opposition. The newspaper then distanced itself from the article; director Abdelilah Benkirane declared that the article represented only the opinion of its author.
# Type Kō Rifle

The Type Kō prototype automatic rifle (Japanese: 試製自動小銃甲号 Shisei Jidō Shōjū Kō Gō) was a semi-automatic rifle developed by the Empire of Japan during the 1930s. Its design is heavily based on the Pedersen rifle.
# Darren Robbins

Darren Robbins (born April 14, 1966) is a singer-songwriter from Chicago, Illinois. Robbins released the seminal power pop CD "Darren Robbins Steals Your Girlfriend" in 1988 with production and musical backing by CBS/Portrait act The Elvis Brothers.
Trouser Press publisher Ira Robbins (no relation) called Robbins' debut effort "as much a showcase for the star’s solid skills as an indication of the Elvis Brothers’ talent, 'Steals Your Girlfriend' is a delight."
Robbins released two CDs under the name Time Bomb Symphony. Most recently, he has released his first CD of new material in seven years under yet another pseudonym, Destroy The Heart. The self-titled CD was produced by Adam Schmitt.
Of the album, Bullz-Eye writer Jeff Giles writes:
"The album’s biggest (and most pleasant) surprise is that it sounds like it could have been recorded a year or two after 'Steals Your Girlfriend' – or a decade before. Trying to pretend the last 30 years never happened isn’t anything new for power pop records, of course; the difference here is that Robbins and producer Adam Schmitt actually manage to pull it off. The drums are dry and punchy, the guitars sharp and wiry, the vocals soaked in vinegar and honey – you can close your eyes and pretend Rockpile never broke up, and Cheap Trick never recorded 'The Flame.'
In 2008, Robbins reformed Time Bomb Symphony with former Material Issue members Mike Zelenko and Ted Ansani.
According to a feature in The New York Times, Robbins formed the company Big D Custom Tour Merch in 2011, providing full-service tour merchandising to many major rock acts as well as custom screen printing services.
In 2014, Robbins, now a prolific street artist working under the pseudonym "Lemmy Cornhole", made headlines after his arrest for malicious destruction to a building in his hometown of Dowagiac, Michigan. Charges were later dropped. His hand-made street art-style cornhole boards are now in high demand and sell for upwards of $2,500 on the secondary market.

# Garden School

Garden School is a co-educational independent school in East Elmhurst and Jackson Heights, Queens, New York City offering a K-12 education.

## History

Garden School was founded in 1923, taking its name from the newly conceived garden apartment complexes in the then-rural community of Jackson Heights.
The first classes were grades K–3 and met in the Laburnum Court Apartments under the guidance of Dorothy Gleen, Charles Townshend, and Josephine Wech. In 1925, grades 4–6 were added as John Bosworth Laing became the director. In 1927 Otis Flower assumed leadership as headmaster and moved the school to its current location. It had its first graduating class in 1929, presenting three students. Within three years Garden Country Day School became an independent school, with a board of trustees, under the New York State guidelines for not-for-profit schools.
Amid financial trouble in 2012, the school agreed to sell an athletic field to the city for $6 million.
The school's sports team is called the Garden Griffins, and offers multiple sports per season.
As of 2021, the Head of School is Christopher F. Herman.
# Paya Lebar

Paya Lebar (/ˈpɑːjɑː ˌleɪbɑːr, ˈpɑːjə-/ PAH-yah LAY-bar, PAH-yə) is a planning area located in the East Region of Singapore, bordered by Hougang to the west, Sengkang to the northwest, Tampines to the east, Bedok to the south and Pasir Ris to the north.
As part of the Singapore Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA) Master Plan 2014, Paya Lebar Central was identified as one of the five growth areas. It was since earmarked as an up-and-coming commercial hub, in line with the wider decentralisation strategy to ensure the city's sustainable growth. Paya Lebar participates in the pilot Business Improvement District (BID) programme.
Although they have similar names, Paya Lebar Central, Paya Lebar MRT station and Paya Lebar Road are not part of Paya Lebar Planning Area, instead are part of Geylang East planning subzone, part of Geylang. Paya Lebar itself contains five subzones; Airport Road, Paya Lebar East, Paya Lebar North, Paya Lebar West and Plab (Paya Lebar Air Base).

## Etymology and history

Paya Lebar was formerly a swamp close to Kallang River. In Malay, Paya means "swamp" and lebar means "wide".
Due to the swamp, the area mainly consisted of squatters who reared pig and poultry and also grew market produce.
In 1865, Richard Owen Norris bought part of the area and lived there with his family.

## Paya Lebar Air Base

The Singapore International Airport was built in Paya Lebar from 1952 to 1955, and opened on 20 August that year by the Secretary of State for the Colonies, Alan Lennox-Boyd. Singapore International Airport began to be gradually converted into a military air-force base from late 1967 onwards. It became a complete military airbase in 1981 when Singapore Changi Airport was opened and was subsequently renamed as Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB) in the same year.

## Politics

Paya Lebar covers Aljunied GRC and Tampines GRC which were warded by the Workers' Party and the People's Action Party, respectively. One notable Member of Parliament for the ward was the former Secretary-General of the Workers' Party, Low Thia Khiang, where his ward covers a majority of Paya Lebar, including the Paya Lebar Air Base. Following his retirement, it was taken over by Gerald Giam.
From 2025, Paya Lebar will then be covered under Tampines GRC because of the development of Paya Lebar Airbase.

# Ya'akov Riftin

Ya'akov Riftin (Hebrew: יעקב ריפתין; 16 March 1907 – 14 May 1978) was an Israeli politician who served as a member of the Knesset for Mapam between 1949 and 1965.

## Biography

Born in Wólka Profecka near Puławy in the Russian Empire (today in Poland), Riftin joined the HaShomer youth movement, and was later a member of Hashomer Hatzair, becoming one of the leaders of the movement in Poland. He made aliyah to Mandatory Palestine in 1929, and joined kibbutz Ein Shemer in 1931.
Riftin also joined the Histadrut trade union, becoming a member of its executive committee and co-ordinating committee. He served as a member of the Assembly of Representatives and of the Jewish National Council, as well as being a member of the Yishuv's security committee.
During 1947 and 1948 he was part of the Jewish delegation to the United Nations, and served as the political secretary of the Israeli delegation from independence (in 1948) until 1954. Despite being part of the UN delegation, he was elected to the Knesset in 1949, and was re-elected in 1951, 1955, 1959 and 1961. According to the Vasili Mitrokhin documents, Riftin regularly passed on classified documents, including top secret ones, to the Soviet Embassy.
He lost his seat in the 1965 elections. A member of the left-wing group in Mapam, he left the party in 1968 when it formed an alliance with the Labor Party in 1968, and formed the Left Independent Socialist Zionist Union, which unsuccessfully ran in Histadrut elections. He died in 1978.
# Evdokim Alekseevich Egorov

Evdokim Alekseevich Egorov (Russian: Евдоким Алексеевич Егоров; 1832 - 1891) was a Russian painter, porcelain painter, and etcher. He was the son of Alexei Yegorovich Yegorov.

## Biography

He was born in Saint Petersburg, the son of Alexei Yegorovich Yegorov and Vera Ivanovna Martos (1799 - 11 January 1856), daughter of the sculptor Ivan Martos.
He studied at the Imperial Academy of Saint Petersburg, and then became curator of the Moscow Museum. Later, in 1874, he moved to Paris.
He lived in Paris with his wife. From his arrival in Paris in 1874 through the 1880s he owned studios in Paris, working on "perfecting the craft and studying French techniques." Among his students was Yelena Polenova. Vasilii Dmitrievich and Ilya Repin also spent time in his studio.
He was keen on "fostering the ceramic arts, especially raising their prestige, and hoped to teach peasants the craft."
Russian academicians became interested in ceramics too, and in June 1876 Dmitry Grigorovich requested that the artists working with Egorov sent him examples of their work, wishing to improve Russian production.
Egorov died in Paris in 1891, having lived 17 years in the city.
It was said that he didn't reach his father's fame as a painter.
