# Battle of Burnt Corn

The Battle of Burnt Corn, also known as the Battle of Burnt Corn Creek, was an encounter between United States armed forces and Red Stick Creeks that took place July 27, 1813 in present-day southern Alabama. This battle was the first engagement between the U.S. and Red Sticks in the Creek War.

## Background

In July 1813, Peter McQueen, an Upper Creek (Muscogee) chief, and a large party of Red Stick warriors proceeded to Pensacola in Spanish Florida to buy munitions, with $400 and a letter from a British officer at Fort Malden. In McQueen's words, the Spanish governor gave them "a small bag of powder for each ten towns, and five bullets to each man." The governor presented this as a "friendly present, for hunting purposes".
But Samuel Moniac, a Creek warrior, testified August 2, 1813 after the events, "High Head told me that, when they went back with their supply, another body of men would go down for another supply of ammunition; and that ten men were to go out of town, and they calculated on 'five horse-loads for every town'."

## Battle

United States soldiers at Fort Mims, having heard of Peter McQueen's mission, sent a quickly organized force, led by Colonel James Caller and Captain Dixon Bailey, to intercept McQueen's party. This force was joined by volunteers from Fort Glass under the command of Samuel Dale. The Americans ambushed the Red Sticks as they bedded down on the evening of July 27, 1813, on the banks of Burnt Corn Creek, in present-day southern Alabama (in what is now northern Escambia County, Alabama). It would become known as "The Battle of Burnt Corn" or the "Battle of Burnt Corn Creek," and would be seen as a part of the broader Creek War.
The Americans scattered the Red Sticks, who fled to the nearby swamps. Flush with victory, the Americans began looting the Red Sticks' pack-horses. From the swamp, the Creeks noticed that the Americans had dropped their guard. The Creek re-grouped and launched a surprise attack of their own, which scattered the Americans.

St. Paisius Orthodox Monastery is an Eastern Orthodox Christian women's coenobitic community in Safford, Arizona which follows the traditional rule of Serbian monastic life. The monastery is situated in the High Sonoran Desert at the base of Mount Graham. The English-speaking monastery is now also under the jurisdictions of Kyrill of the Western American Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR). It has 320 acres of land, making it the fifth largest monastery among the 80 American Orthodox Christian monasteries.

## History

The monastery was founded in 1993 and is dedicated to St. Paisius Velichkovsky, who dedicated his life to collecting and translating the texts of the Philokalia as a means of preserving the teachings of the Holy Fathers on the hesychastic way of life.
Since 1995, the sisterhood has welcomed teenage girls who wish to live and study at the monastery. The monastery home school is dedicated to the Protection of the Theotokos. The sisters tutor the girls in their studies and offer supplementary classes. Some of the students have chosen to remain as nuns in the monastery, while others have married and started their own families.

They also labor in cultivating the earth and tending the monastery's flock of purebred milk goats and other animals in order to be as self-sufficient as possible.
# Zapier

Zapier is an American multinational software company that provides integrations for web applications for use in automated workflows.

## History

Zapier was founded in 2011 in Columbia, Missouri, by Wade Foster, Bryan Helmig, and Mike Knoop. The idea for Zapier first emerged on September 8, 2011, when Foster and Helmig discussed creating a software tool that would allow users to integrate multiple technology applications, having identified a growing demand for app connectivity. Foster and Helmig, who were co-workers at Veterans United Home Loans, initiated the project, with Knoop joining later that year. For the first few months, the founders developed the software while maintaining their full-time jobs before officially launching Zapier. After presenting their product idea at a Startup Weekend in Columbia from September 30 to October 2, 2011, the three founders applied to Y Combinator, a Silicon Valley startup incubator, but were initially rejected. They reapplied a year later and were accepted after building a prototype and expanding their user base. In November 2011, entrepreneur Andrew Warner, host of the startup podcast Mixergy, became Zapier's first customer, paying $100 for access to its beta integration product.
The founders relocated to Mountain View, California, to launch Zapier. However, from its inception, Zapier operated as a fully remote company—a work model that was uncommon at the time but became more widespread following the pandemic.
In October 2012, Zapier received a $1.3 million seed round led by Bessemer Venture Partners.
In March 2017, the company offered a "relocation package", consisting of a $10,000 moving reimbursement to employees who wished to leave the San Francisco Bay Area.
In 2020, as the Covid-19 pandemic spread, Zapier set up a $1 million small business assistance fund for struggling customers.
Sequoia Capital and Steadfast Financial bought shares from some of the company's original investors in January 2021 at a valuation of $5 billion.
In March 2021, the company acquired Makerpad, a no-code education service, for an undisclosed sum of money.
As of January 2022, the company employs approximately 500 people in 38 countries.

## Products

Zapier provides workflows that allow different web applications to be used in the same workflow. Their products focus on automating recurring tasks, such as lead management. Users can set up "rules" that set up the flow of data between different tools and services.

# Yehuda Bibas

Yehuda Aryeh Leon Bibas (or Judah Bibas) (Hebrew: יהודה אריה ליאון ביבאס) (c. 1789 – April 6, 1852) was a Sephardic rabbi, the rabbi of Corfu and was the first of the precursors of modern Zionism.

## Biography
### Early life

Bibas was born in Gibraltar to Sephardi Jews who were descendants of Jews expelled from Spain and who had had settled in North Africa. One of his maternal ancestors was Chaim ibn Attar. His father came from a line of Rabbis in Tétouan that emigrated to Gibraltar after a pogrom against the Jews that followed the invasion of the city by Spain. Bibas studied as a child in Gibraltar and after the death of his father he moved to Livorno to live with his grandfather. Livorno had a very prestigious and educated Jewish community. Bibas received in Livorno most of his Jewish and secular education, including his title as a physician. He then returned to Gibraltar where he established himself as the Rosh yeshiva. His Yeshiva was attended by students from England, Italy and North Africa. In 1810 he came to London, where he met with the famous Jewish activist and philanthropist Sir Moses Montefiore. Rabbi Yehuda Bibas was fluent in English, Italian, Spanish and Hebrew, and he was also a physician. In 1831, Bibas was appointed as the Chief Rabbi of Corfu.

### Zionist activism

By the years 1839–1840, Bibas undertook a journey in Europe. While visiting many Jewish communities, he called upon the Jews to make Aliyah to Palestine and settle there. He was one of the first Rabbis to do so. In the same year, he met with Judah Alkalai, who became his student. Bibas's plan was to encourage Jews from all over the world to come to Palestine, conquer the land from the Ottomans, and create a Jewish society there. During some of his visits to London, he cooperated with Moses Montefiore on many subjects.

### Aliyah and death

By 1852, one year after his wife died, Bibas made Aliyah to Palestine, and was welcomed by his students in Jaffa. Later he went to Hebron where he established a seminary and built his extensive library. He died two months after his arrival to Palestine and was buried in the Old Jewish Cemetery in Hebron.

### Legacy

The Jewish community of Hebron used to hold a memorial ceremony for him every year on Yom Kippur evening. A street in Jerusalem is named in his memory. In 1953 a professor made the claim that the Dead Sea Scrolls may have come from Bibas's library after having been looted during the 1929 Hebron massacre. In 2022 President Isaac Herzog commemorated Bibas on the 170th anniversary of his passing in a ceremony at the President's Residence calling him "one of the first forerunners of Zionism... his tremendous historical contribution has not received sufficient recognition."
