# Tom Lanoye

Tom Lanoye (his name is pronounced the French way: /lanwa/) was born on 27 August 1958 in the Belgian city Sint-Niklaas. He is a novelist, poet, columnist, screenwriter and playwright. He is one of the most widely read and honoured authors in his language area (the Netherlands and Flanders), and makes regular appearances at all the major European theatre festivals.

## Biography

Lanoye was the youngest son of a butcher. He attended the catholic Sint-Jozef-Klein-Seminarie College in Sint-Niklaas. At the time it was a single-sex boys' school. He studied Germanic Philology and Sociology at Ghent University. Still a student, he self-published his first work. In his own words, 'Just like all the punk bands did in those days: out of dissatisfaction with the existing structures, and to learn the trade from the inside out'.
Lanoye lives and works in Antwerp and Cape Town (South Africa). His literary work has been published and/or performed in over fifteen languages.

## Literary work

In 1985 Lanoye published his prose debut, the semi-autobiographical novel Een slagerszoon met een brilletje (A Butcher's Son with Spectacles). His other books include Alles moet weg (Everything Has To Go) (1988), the melancholy coming-of-age novel Kartonnen dozen (Cardboard Boxes) (1991) and the trilogy comprising Het Goddelijke Monster (The Divine Monster), Zwarte tranen (Black Tears) and Boze tongen (Spiteful Tongues) which describes the disintegration of a rich and corrupt Belgian family. A ten-part television series based on this trilogy was broadcast on 'Eén', the Flemish public broadcaster's main channel, in autumn 2011.
Lanoye has made an impression as a contemporary dramatist abroad with his 12-hour verse adaptation of eight of Shakespeare's history plays entitled Ten Oorlog (To War) (1997). It has been performed in German at the Salzburg Festival and later on in several German stagings and cities. Several of his other plays — he wrote more than thirty — have been played at great festivals in Avignon, Amsterdam, Vienna,Paris and the Ruhr.
Lanoye started out as an enfant terrible, but has become an established writer who devotes himself to all forms of text and writing, for books, newspapers, periodicals and printed matter as well as for plays, cabaret and vocal performances, in any form whatsoever and in the broadest sense of the word' (a quote from the articles of association of his company, the LLC L.A.N.O.Y.E., set up in 1992).
In theatres he regularly performs literary shows, more like theatrical monologues than lectures.
Several of his books and plays won prizes. In 2007 he was granted the Gouden Ganzenveer for his entire collection of work and received an honorary doctorate from Antwerp University. In 2013 he again received a prize for his ‘oeuvre so far’ — the Constantijn Huygens Prize, the most important one in the Dutch language area.
His 2006 novel Het derde huwelijk was adapted by film director David Lambert for the 2018 film Third Wedding (Troisièmes noces).

# Al Deira Hotel

The Al Deira Hotel (Arabic: فندق الديرة, romanized: Funduq ad-Dayra) was a beach hotel located in Gaza, Palestine. It was built in 2000 and had 22 rooms which featured high, domed ceilings and views of the Mediterranean. The hotel was regularly used by foreign journalists covering Gaza.
A boutique hotel built around an inner courtyard, its architecture was said to have an "Ottoman elegance". The style blends traditional Moroccan and Arab architecture with modern design influences. It is built with dark brown sun dried mud bricks, with white arches, vaulted and domed ceilings, and handmade furniture. The architect was Rashid Abdelhamid. It was previously owned by UNDP employee Khaled Abdel Shafi and architect Rashid Abdelhamid. In 2015, new management took over.
The hotel has received a number of very positive reviews in Time magazine, by British journalist Alan Johnston and by Lonely Planet which described the Al Deira as "swish, stylish and tightly run", and "without question the best hotel in town". In 2010, UN Goodwill Ambassadors Mia Farrow and Mahmoud Kabil visited the hotel.
On July 16, 2014, four children were killed by Israeli rockets whilst playing football on the beach just outside Al Deira Hotel. Staff from the hotel brought wounded to the restaurant. Several foreign journalists were staying at the hotel and witnessed the killings.
In January 2024, during the Israel–Hamas war, the Al Deira Hotel was bombed and destroyed by Israeli forces. Two months later, musician Saint Levant, who is the son of the hotel's architect and former owner, paid homage to the venue in his single "Deira" (featuring MC Abdul), contained in the eponymous debut album Deira released the following June.

# Papal slippers

The Papal slippers (Italian: pantofole papali) are a historical accoutrement worn by the Pope. The papal slippers were a form of episcopal sandals worn by bishops. However, unlike the (rarely seen) episcopal sandals, which change with the liturgical colour, the papal slippers were always red.
Usually elaborate, papal slippers were made by hand with red satin, red silk, and gold thread; they featured an embroidered cross garnished with rubies and the soles were made of leather. Until the first half of the 20th century, it was customary for pilgrims having an audience with the Pope to kneel and kiss one of his slippers.
The pope traditionally wore the slippers inside the papal apartments, while red leather papal shoes were worn outdoors. Pope Paul VI discontinued the use of the papal slippers but continued to wear the red outdoor papal shoes, which were abandoned by Pope John Paul II in favour of cordovan brown leather walking shoes made in his native Poland.
Pope Benedict XVI restored the use of the red outdoor papal shoes, similar to those worn by Paul VI. However, it would seem that the papal slippers were not restored as photographs of Benedict showed him wearing red shoes inside the confines of the Vatican.
# Alpha Psi Rho

Alpha Psi Rho (ΑΨΡ), also known as APsiRho, is an Asian and Pacific Islander-interest fraternity founded at San Diego State University in 2000. It has expanded to include four chapters located in California and Nevada.

## History

The student founders of Alpha Psi Rho grew up in an era when Asian and Pacific Islander Americans were struggling to find their identities in the United States. Although the founders became involved in cultural organizations at San Diego State University, they wanted to create a group people who have similar interests, lived a similar lifestyle, and hungered to make greater impacts in the community.
The Ten Founding Fathers established Alpha Psi Rho on March 1, 2000, as a fraternity for Asian and Pacific Islander students. The fraternity was based on four pillars: Brotherhood, Academics, Prosperity, and Strength. Although established as an Asian or Filipino fraternity, it welcomes all races.
The founding fathers of Alpha Psi Rho are:
* Benjamin Abiva
* Reuel Anday
* Jay Balanay
* Kenny Fong
* Anthony Gambol
* James Kuniyoshi
* Ryan Lucina
* Kenny Ortega
* Jeremy Quirante
* Jason Valoroso
The fraternity's Beta chapter was established by five students at California State University, Northridge in 2003. This followed by the Gamma chapter at California State University San Marcos. Gamma chapter started as a special interest group called BAPS on August 26, 2006, and was chartered as Alpha Psi Rho on February 22, 2012. The Delta chapter at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas was chartered on April 2, 2011. Alpha Psi Rho members are referred to as "brhothers".
The Gamma chapter won the university's Community Development and Lifelong Membership award for 2014-2015. The fraternity hosts events such as a cultural festival at California State University, San Marcus for Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and participated in the annual Festival of Communities at UNLV. Members also volunteer with charities that work with Asian-Pacific Islander youth.
The fraternity's national headquarters is located in San Diego, California. Its publication is the Alpha Psi Rho Monthly Newsletter.

# Calantica cerasifolia

Calantica cerasifolia is a species of flowering plant in the family Salicaceae. It is the type species of its genus, Calantica.
The plant is endemic to Madagascar, where it occurs in all provinces, those being Antananarivo, Antsiranana, Fianarantsoa, Mahajanga, Toamasina and Toliara. It grows in humid to sub-humid evergreen forests and thickets, and in dry deciduous forests from sea level to 2,500 m (8,200 ft) in elevation.
The wood of Calantica cerasifolia is used in construction.

## Description

Calantica cerasifolia is a tree species that can grow up to 25 m (82 ft) in height and 100 cm (39 in) in diameter at breast height. The plant has pale bark. This species is notable for its large inflorescences, comprising numerous small flowers that are usually 5–7.5 mm (0.20–0.30 in) in diameter, though occasionally reaching up to 10 mm (0.39 in). The perianth is typically pale or yellowish-green to whitish, with rare descriptions noting it as yellow-orange. The glands are yellow to orange, while the disk is pale green or yellow, turning reddish over time. The filaments are white, and the anthers vary in color from red to brown, yellow, or black. The flowers are often reported to have a pleasant scent.

## Taxonomy

Calantica cerasifolia is likely to be closely related to Calantica grandiflora, and potential hybrids are theorized to exist.
The original material of Blackwellia cerasifolia was cited by Étienne Pierre Ventenat in 1803 as “originaire de Madagascar; cultivé dans le Jardin Botanique de l’Isle de France, où le Célèbre Naturaliste Riche avoit cueilli l’exemplaire que je fais figurer.” In 1857, Louis René Tulasne reassigned the species as Calantica cerasifolia.

## Conservation status

Although it is listed as LC by the IUCN Red List, there are still threats that endanger the species. Threats include residential and commercial development, logging, agriculture and aquaculture, and fire and its suppression, which have been linked to a continuing decline in population.
# Ammonium neodymium nitrate

Ammonium neodymium nitrate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Nd(NH$_4$)$_2$(NO$_3$)$_5$. The compound is classified as a rare earth metal salt, belonging to nitrates.

## Synthesis

The compound can be prepared by the reaction of neodymium oxide, nitric acid, and ammonium nitrate.
Also, it can be made by a reaction of neodymium oxide or neodymium carbonate with ammonium nitrate, releasing water as a byproduct:
       Nd$_2$​O$_3$​ + 6NH$_4$​NO$_3$ ​ → 2(NH$_4$​)$_2$​Nd(NO$_3$​)$_5$ + 3H$_2$​O

## Physical properties

Ammonium neodymium nitrate is soluble in water.
The compound forms a tetrahydrate of the composition Nd(NH$_4$)$_2$(NO$_3$)$_5$ • 4H$_2$O—red-violet crystals that melt in their own crystallization water at 47 °C.

## Chemical properties

The compound reacts with strong acids to form soluble complexes. It can release nitrogen oxides when decomposed.

## Uses

Ammonium neodymium nitrate is used as a precursor for the synthesis of many other neodymium compounds and also as a reagent for various chemical reactions.

# Borassus akeassii

Borassus akeassii is a species of palmyra palm which is native to west and central Africa. It occurs from Senegal to Congo-Kinshasa. It was first described in 2006, having previously been confused with Borassus aethiopum and Borassus flabellifer. It is used by local people for a variety of purposes, particularly sap extraction.

## Description

This palm reaches impressive height of 15 meters, typically developing a noticeably swollen trunk that may bear numerous irregular scars, often a result of external influences. The crown consists of a moderate to dense number of glaucous, fan-shaped leaves, each supported by a sturdy petiole with either serrated black teeth along the edges or, in some cases, nearly smooth margins. The leaf blade is relatively flat, divided into numerous rigid leaflets with pointed tips that may split over time. Fine, persistent hairs can sometimes be found along the ribs of younger leaves, gradually fading as they mature. The adaxial hastula is well-defined, while the abaxial hastula remains less pronounced.
Male and female inflorescences are distinctly structured, with the former branching multiple times and forming catkin-like spikes, while the latter tends to be either spicate or minimally branched. The rachillae of male flowers often end in small, rounded projections, housing tightly arranged clusters of blossoms. Female flowers are significantly larger, spirally arranged along the rachis, and enclosed within protective bracts. The fruits are notably large, ovoid, and slightly pointed at the tip, releasing a distinct fragrance as they ripen to a yellowish-green hue. Each fruit contains one to three sizable seeds encased in a tough, woody endocarp. Pollen grains exhibit a reticulate texture, with a dense covering of minute surface structures. The palm’s striking appearance and structural adaptations make it a noteworthy presence in its habitat.
