# Sitting and Smiling

Sitting and Smiling is an endurance art performance by Benjamin Bennett. In a typical performance, Bennett looks into a video camera recording him while sitting and smiling motionless for four hours.
Bennett uploaded his first Sitting and Smiling video on July 28, 2014. Over the next several years, he uploaded similar videos at a rate of about one per week. Currently, his videos have earned over 31 million views with over 380,000 subscribers.
Bennett cites Claire Bishop's 2012 Artificial Hells: Participatory Art and the Politics of Spectatorship as an inspiration for his art.

## Walking and Talking

On February 24, 2019, after reaching 300 Sitting and Smiling videos, Bennett began a new video series entitled Walking and Talking, in which he walks and talks continuously for four hours, or until his camera battery runs out. He speaks extemporaneously and reflexively, describing his subjective experience in real time, with subjects such as philosophy of mind, consciousness, and nonduality arising out of his self-reflection.

## Incidents on stream

During the fifth stream, a burglar entered Bennett's home. After opening the door to Bennett's room, the burglar said, "Hello?" and then proceeded to shut the door and leave. This incident stacked attention online, and the video has over 8.4 million views.
In a separate incident in his 52nd livestream, Bennett clearly urinates himself, with a wet puddle seeping out from under him and gradually evaporating over the remainder of the footage. He never acknowledges this or breaks his composure and continues to sit and smile at the camera.
During streams 238 and 257, Bennett spontaneously bursts into tears several times, briefly losing composure.

## Critical response

   "There isn't a purpose. My inbox is full of people asking me why I'm doing this, but I don't think that question applies to this type of activity."
One reviewer commented, "One of the strangest aspects of this project is its apparent lack of explanation."
Other reviewers said that the performance was "bizarre", "tip of the creepy iceberg", and "bonkers".
Timothy Kennett of The Atlantic wrote:
   Sitting and Smiling is, therefore, an extreme version of engagement with the present. It takes concepts like mindfulness (it is perhaps not coincidental that Bennett's cross-legged pose recalls the stance of meditation), attention to the present, and discomfort with the speed and busyness of modern life and pushes them until they are unpleasant, even unbearable. ...By making the videos borderline unwatchable, Bennett suggests that experiencing time in a way that is unmediated, focused, and 'real' is impossible. But, of course, Bennett manages it, smiling the whole time.
# Hussein al-Khalil

Hussein al-Khalil (Arabic: حسين الخليل; born 1955 in Burj al-Barajneh) is a senior political figure and advisor within Hezbollah and member of the supreme Shura Council. He became one of Hezbollah's earliest members upon its emergence in 1982. He was one of the closest aides to Hezbollah's Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, and plays a critical role in the organization's political strategy and negotiations.

## Military career

Al-Khalil began his career in Musa al-Sadr’s Amal Movement. However, after the Imam’s disappearance in 1978 and Nabih Berri’s subsequent assumption of the party’s leadership, al-Khalil broke away from the party along with other members including Hassan Nasrallah and Abbas al-Musawi to found Islamic Amal.
He initially rose to prominence in Hezbollah as one of the organization's main leaders in the Beqaa Valley, maintaining a senior role in Hezbollah's command structure. During the mid- to late 1980s, he played a significant role in establishing Hezbollah's security apparatus and served as the operational coordinator for its military units. From 1989 to 1990, al-Khalil headed the organization's Politburo, now known as the Political Council.

## Political career

In July 1995, al-Khalil was appointed political advisor to Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah, a role he has held since, significantly shaping Hezbollah's domestic and regional strategies. As a key member of the political bureau, he actively participates in high-level discussions and decisions that influence the group's activities and policies. Al-Khalil has also played a critical role within Hezbollah's Central Security Apparatus, serving as the primary liaison between the organization's security and intelligence branches and coordinating closely with Iranian intelligence.
An investigation by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) alleged al-Khalil's involvement in the 2008 assassination of Lebanese Internal Security Forces Captain Wissam Eid and in Hezbollah's secret activities.
Khalil's position within Hezbollah includes acting as a mediator and negotiator on behalf of Hezbollah in dealings with other Lebanese political parties and factions along with international entities. He has notably managed Hezbollah's alliance with the Amal Movement and the Free Patriotic Movement. Khalil was considered a close confidant of Hassan Nasrallah until Nasrallah's death.

# La Chapelle-Faucher

La Chapelle-Faucher (French pronunciation:; Occitan: La Chapela Fauchier) is a commune in the Dordogne department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.
This small but quaint rural French village has a Romanesque-style church, Notre Dame de l'Assomption built in the 12th century, a rambling ancient chateau overlooking the Cole River built in the 13th century (some of which has been restored and used for wedding receptions and other events), a kindergarten and a town hall. La Chapelle-Faucher is set above the river Côle, a tributary of the Dronne river which runs through the nearby town of Brantôme.

## History

In the 14th century, the entire town was burnt to the ground during the Hundred Years' War. The village was gradually rebuilt, but religion's powerful hand frequented the village. On 2 July 1569, Protestants led by Gaspard de Coligny, rounded up 260 Catholic peasants (men, women and children), put into the chateau and brutally killed one by one during the wars of religion. The local priest pleaded that they be saved but to no avail. According to the local chronicler of these wars at the time, Pierre de Bourdeille, seigneur (and abbé) de Brantôme, the killings began at 9 am and finished around 2 pm. Some residents say you can hear the voices of distressed peasants in the darkness of the night...

# Amynthas mekongianus

Amynthas mekongianus, the Mekong worm or Mekong giant earthworm, previously known as Megascolex mekongianus, is a species of earthworm in the family Megascolecidae. It is native to the vicinity of the River Mekong in southeastern Asia and may have more than 500 segments and grow to a length of 2.9 m (10 ft).

## Description

The Mekong giant earthworm may grow to a length of up to 2.9 m (10 ft). Compared to their great length, these worms are relatively slender. The type specimen was one metre long and 8 mm (0.3 in) wide at the broadest point (segment 5). It had 370 segments and was a greyish colour, rather paler on the ventral surface. The prostomium was poorly preserved. The second segment had 46 setae (bristles) in an incomplete ring with a gap on the ventral surface. Segments 3 to 25 bore about 100 setae each, arranged in a complete ring. The male pores were on segment 17, but this specimen was immature and lacked a clitellum.

## Distribution and habitat

The type specimen was recorded as being from "Ban Leum on Mekong River, Annam". This was mistakenly believed to refer to a village in Central Vietnam well away from the River Mekong, but it has been found that "Ban leum" means "[I] forget the place" in the local dialect, and the type locality is thought to be in Thailand or Laos. The river forms a delta at that point and contains extensive mud and sand flats and embankments where the worms live. Pigs forage and fishermen dig worms for bait there.

## Ecology

Unlike most other species of giant earthworm, which generally inhabit pastureland, the Mekong worm burrows into the muddy banks of the River Mekong in Laos. The worm forms complex networks of tunnels and brings large quantities of ingested soil to the surface in the form of worm castings. The worms may be collected from the mud, but are more easily collected from underwater at depths around 40 cm (16 in). Little is known of the worm's ecology.

# Legend of Himiko

Legend of Himiko (火魅子伝, Himiko-Den) is a Japanese media franchise, consisting of an anime television series, a manga series, a novel series, and a PlayStation game. All four were released in early 1999.
The PlayStation game was created by Hakuhodo and was released in Japan on March 11, 1999. The manga is a single volume series written by Kō Maisaka and illustrated by Oh! great and released in Japan by Kadokawa Shoten in early 1999. It has been licensed in France by Panini Comics and Germany by Planet Manga.
The 12 episode television series aired on TV Tokyo between January 7, 1999 and March 31, 1999. It was released in Japan by Group TAC. The anime has been released in the US in a 3-disc release by Central Park Media. The anime is technically based on the PlayStation game, even though the anime started airing before the game was officially released.

## Plot

The Legend of Himiko is probably based on an ancient Japanese tale told in the Chinese history book Sanguo Zhi. The nation of Yamatai is under threat from the overseas kingdom of Kune (probably based on the nation of Kunekoku). In an attempt to stave off an invasion, the people of Yamatai attempt to install a Queen to rule over their kingdom, which is to be chosen by the mysterious Bokka.
However, the Kune army attacks Yamatai before the selection of the Queen can be completed, and the Bokka disperse the six queen candidates across the nation. The Bokka themselves take shelter in a newborn girl named Himiko and the pendant she is wearing and transport her to modern times, where she is found by Masahiko Kutani.
Several years in the future, Himiko and Kutani attend high school together. When the two are wandering around an archeological dig, Himiko's pendant activates, sending both back into ancient Japan where they are found by Imari, one of the queen candidates, and Iga within Kune's place in Yamatai, three years after Kune's initial attack.
Both Himiko and Kutani learn about the Bokka and what relationship they have with it. The six queen candidates also finally all join back together, for the first time since they were dispersed when Kune first attacked. They eventually fight against Shikara, the governor-general of Yamatai and the son of the king of Kune, in order to free Yamatai from Kune's rule.

# Boone County Courthouse (Iowa)

The Boone County Courthouse, located in Boone, Iowa, United States, was built in 1917. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981 as a part of the County Courthouses in Iowa Thematic Resource. The courthouse is the third building the county has used for court functions and county administration.

## History

The first county seat for Boone County was located in Boonesboro, and a double log house was used for court purposes. It was the first building constructed in town after it was declared the county seat in 1851. The first building to properly be called a courthouse was a two-story building constructed in 1856 at a cost of $2,100. When it was decided to build a new courthouse the town of Montana desired the new structure be built there. After two votes Boonesboro retained the county seat and a three-story brick courthouse was completed in 1868 for $35,000. It featured prominent porticos with full-height columns and a central tower capped with a dome that rose 68 feet (21 m) above the ground. Amateur artists frescoed the walls over the years. Meanwhile, the town of Montana continued to grow and expand and changed its name to Boone and incorporated what had been Boonesboro in 1892.
Space in the old courthouse had become insufficient so plans were made for a new courthouse. The present courthouse was completed in 1917 for $250,000. The Renaissance Revival building was designed by Des Moines architect Norman T. Vorse. It features marble walls, terrazzo floors, coffered ceilings, and stained glass skylights. On the exterior of the main facade, eight columns in antis are located between the windows on the two upper floors. The columns have capitals in the Corinthian order. A dentilated cornice circles the building. The courthouse's significance is derived from its association with county government, and the political power and prestige of Boone as the county seat.

# Dibao

Dibao (ti-pao), sometimes called headmen or constables, were local officials in Qing and early Republican China, typically selected from among the prominent landowners. Working in communities of around 100 households, they were charged with overseeing boundaries and land disputes. He notarized all real estate deeds on a commission basis and collected the land tax, as well as overseeing minor punishment such as the cangue.
As foreign missionaries and businessmen gained the right to hold property in China from the unequal treaties, the local headmen could be caught between them and their superiors in the Chinese hierarchy, for instance during the construction of the Woosung Road.
The dibao administered villages under the ordinary Chinese administrative system. A similar office called the shoubao (shou-pao) was established under the Qing in 1725 to manage the Banner system.
The dibao were the successors of the Qin and Han tingzhang, the Sui and Tang lizheng, and Song baozheng. They were occasionally also known as baozheng or as dijia
After 1900, they began to be replaced by less autonomous cunzheng, although this transition was not completed until the Republican era.

# Cuban Australians

Cuban Australians (Spanish: cubanos australianos) are Australians whose full or partial ancestry can be traced back to Cuba.
2,135 Cuban Australians were residing in Australia as of 2023, of whom 1,021 had been born in Cuba, whereas some other 1,114 people had been born in Australia and claimed either partial or full Cuban ancestry.
The number of Australian residents of Cuban descent who were born elsewhere abroad does not seem to be available at the moment, for which the total number of Cuban Australians may have varied throughout times, including both Cuban-born and Australian-born residents of Cuban descent.
The Cuban immigration to Australia goes back to the early 1980s, to a point where millions of Cubans left Cuba during the takeover of Fidel Castro's regime for many other countries worldwide, of whom many have settled in Oceania, mainly in Australia.
Between 2018 and 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics registered 71 new Cuban-born individuals residing in the country.
Most Cuban Australians are concentrated in New South Wales, from the Greater Sydney area to Campbelltown, New South Wales, referred to as to the pinpoint gateway of immigration for Cuban migrants in the country, where is hosted the fastest growing population.
Another wave of Cuban Aussies is also vibrant and currently growing in Queensland, from Gold Coast, Queensland to the Brisbane metro area, followed by Victoria: with Melbourne being the most notable area of settlement and Western Australia, both hosting currently growing populations of Cuban Australians.

## Notable Cuban Australians

* Hector Lombard, mixed martial artist and bodybuilder
* Josh Mansour, former professional rugby and football player of Cuban, Portuguese and Lebanese descent
* Soledad O'Brien: broadcast journalist and executive producer born to a father from Australia and an Afro-Cuban mother from Cuba
