# The Village in the Jungle

The Village in the Jungle is a novel by Leonard Woolf, published in 1913, based on his experiences as a colonial civil servant in British-controlled Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in the early years of the 20th century. Ground-breaking in Western fiction for being written from the native rather than the colonial point of view, it is also an influential work of Sri Lankan literature. It was republished by Eland in 2008.

## Background

Leonard Woolf worked for the British Ceylon Civil Service in Sri Lanka for seven years after graduating from Cambridge University in 1904. In Cambridge Woolf had met and befriended members of the Bloomsbury Group. He became Assistant Government Agent in Hambantota District, dealing with a variety of administrative and judicial issues. The district he was in charge of had a population of 100,000 people. Books he took with him to Sri Lanka included the complete works of Voltaire. Woolf also kept a comprehensive diary while there, and later said that his experiences in the country led to him adopting liberal political views and becoming an opponent of imperialism. He wrote The Village in the Jungle, his first novel, after he returned from Sri Lanka to England in 1911 while he was courting his future wife Virginia Stephen. He dedicated the novel to her.

## Plot

The novel describes the lives of a poor family in a small village called Beddegama (literally, "The village in the jungle") as they struggle to survive the challenges presented by poverty, disease, superstition, the unsympathetic colonial system, and the jungle itself. The head of the family is a farmer named Silindu, who has two daughters called "Punchi Menika" and "Hinni hami". After being manipulated by the village authorities and a debt collector, Silindu is put on trial for murder.

## Reception and influence

Written two decades before George Orwell's much better known anti-imperialist novel Burmese Days, The Village in the Jungle has been described by Nick Rankin as "the first novel in English literature to be written from the indigenous point of view rather than the coloniser's." Victoria Glendinning described it as "a foundational novel in the Sri Lankan literary canon", but the novel remains little known in the wider world. In 1980 a Sinhalese language film entitled Beddegama was released based on the novel.
# Omara Khan Massoudi

Omara Khan Massoudi is an Afghan museum director. He was born in 1948.He helped save more than 20,000 valueble meusem art work to safety. In 1964 he won the Prince Claus award.

## Education

Massoudi studied History and Geography at Kabul University. After he obtained his degree, he was a teacher in the first four years of his career. Subsequently, he did four months of research for the Ministry of Information and Culture, and then he was employed at the National Museum of Afghanistan in Kabul, which was known by the name Kabul Museum at that time.
When the Russian troops started to leave the country in May 1988, it appeared to be clear that the artifacts of the museum were at risk for the approaching rebels. In co-operation with President Mohammad Najibullah the artifacts were transferred to safe locations, where they stayed in the years to come. From 1992 to 1994 the museum suffered heavily under the fierce shellings, particularly of the rocket strike of May 12, 1993.
In 2001 Massoudi was appointed to director of the museum, and in 2003 he able to inform President Hamid Karzai of the safeguarded artifacts. In spite of his actions, still around 70% of all artifacts got lost because of destruction or plundering of the rebels.
In 2004 Massoudi was honored with a Prince Claus Award from the Netherlands, for his share in the rehabilitation of the museum and the prevention of lootings of important cultural and historic locations. In 2008, he was in Amsterdam at a special exhibition of artifacts of the National Museum of Kabul.
Under Massoudi's direction, his museum revives with a growing number of visitors: 16,000 in 2010 and 23,000 in 2011.
Massoudi received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters degree from New York University on May 22, 2013.

# Australian round fifty-cent coin

The round fifty cent coin was the highest-denomination and largest diameter coin of the Australian decimal coins, introduced in 1966. It has a nominal value of half an Australian dollar, equivalent to five shillings in the pre-decimal accounting system. Due to the large number minted in 1966, and the rising cost of silver, it was not made in any other year. It was replaced by a twelve-sided 50 cent coin in 1969, which retained its reverse of the Australian Coat of Arms.
The round fifty cent coin contained 80% silver and 20% copper but, because the value of silver quickly increased after the coins were issued, their bullion value became higher than their face value, so they were withdrawn from circulation. A total of 36.45 million coins were minted, with 14 million being put into circulation.
Round 50c coins are still legal tender, but they are rarely used as means of payment. As of 12 November 2023, the bullion value of a round 50c coin was about AU$11.94
# USS Mystery (ID-2744)

The second USS Mystery (ID-2744), often identified as SP-2744, was a minesweeper support ship that served in the United States Navy from 1918 to 1919.
Mystery was built in 1886 by A. C. Brown at Tottenville, New York, as a commercial fishing trawler. The 3rd Naval District inspected her on May 7, 1918 for possible World War I U.S. Navy service. The Navy chartered her from Empire Water Co., Inc., of New York City on 18 July 1918, took her over 20 August 1918, assigned her Identification Number (ID. No. 2744) and commissioned her as USS Mystery (ID-2744) on 2 September 1918. Confusingly, the designation "SP-2744" was painted on her bow and this designation is reported as her official one by many sources, although this contradicted her official data card, which identifies her as "Id. No. 2744," a more likely official designation for her given that "SP" numbers were usually much lower and because she did not have the patrol vessel role of most "SP" boats.
Assigned to the 3rd Naval District, Mystery served as a support ship for minesweepers operating in the approaches to New York Harbor. Her career overlapped with that of the first USS Mystery (SP-428).
Mystery was returned to her owner on 18 January 1919.
# Frederick Alexander James

Frederick Alexander James (17 December 1884 – 19 March 1957) was an Australian merchant and litigant.
Born at East Marden in South Australia to Thomas James and Emily, née Pitt, he received a sketchy education and after studying at the Muirden College for Business Training joined his father's fruit business Trevarno, which he and his brother took over in 1910. He married Rachel May Scarborough on 19 October 1910 at Glenelg. After a financial disaster during World War I when the brothers were left out of pocket after shipping a quantity of fruit to Germany, they dissolved the partnership and Frederick established new orchards at Berri, successfully dealing in dried fruit from 1920. He stayed out of the Australian Dried Fruits Association in protest at the restrictive sale rules. During this period he also gained extensive familiarity with Australia's Constitution.
In 1925 James successfully sold large quantities of his export quota to New Zealand, but his contracts were annulled when he tried to repeat his feat the following year. He successfully had his quota raised, but on the advice of a solicitor sold more than double his quota to brokers in New South Wales and Victoria, resulting in the South Australian Dried Fruits Control Board initiating legal proceedings against him. The High Court ruled in favour of James, as it was often to do, in James v. South Australia (1927). He was also successful in James v. The Commonwealth (1928), but the court ruled against him in James v. Cowan (1930), upholding the state's right to invoke compulsory acquisition; this was reversed by the Privy Council in 1932. James was involved in many significant legal cases in the 1930s and won most of them.
Originally a Country Party member, he left when it embraced organized marketing and, after an unsuccessful attempt to gain United Australia Party preselection, ran for the Senate in 1937 on an independent ticket, winning 7.9% of the vote. In 1936 his wife initiated divorce proceedings but James persuaded her to settle out of court. She died in 1949 and he remarried Constance Winifred Timothy-Keighley on 19 April 1950. He died at Toorak Gardens in 1957.

# NASA INSPIRE

NASA INSPIRE (Interdisciplinary National Science Project Incorporating Research and Education Experience) was a NASA educational program that operated between 2008 and 2013. It was a year-round project designed for students in ninth to 12th grade interested in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) topics and careers.
Students mostly participated in INSPIRE through an online learning community, and the program provided activities, projects and challenges, which were completed individually or with other INSPIRE students and/or NASA personnel. During the 2012–13 school year, there were 305 active students in INSPIRE. Those accepted into the program could participate in group research and design competitions.
In this Online Community, students discussed STEM topics with other participants, INSPIRE alumnae who were in college, and NASA personnel, participated in weekly group chats with NASA scientists and engineers, and earned points for completing STEM activities. The points were a factor in selections for additional activities and in determining eligibility of the participants to apply for summer opportunities; in later years, these opportunities ranged from virtual experiences to a multi-day program at Kennedy Space Center.

# Line of Gennari

The line of Gennari (also called the "band" or "stria" of Gennari) is a band of myelinated axons that runs parallel to the surface of the cerebral cortex on the banks of the calcarine fissure in the occipital lobe. This formation is visible to the naked eye as a white strip running through the cortical grey matter, and is the reason the V1 in primates is also referred to as the "striate cortex." The line of Gennari is due to dense axonal input from the thalamus to layer IV of visual cortex. It is the name given to the enlarged external band of Baillarger. The structure is named for its discoverer, Francesco Gennari, who first observed it in 1776 as a medical student at the University of Parma. He described it in a book which he published in 1782. Although non-primate species have areas that are designated primary visual cortex, some (if not all) lack a stria of Gennari.
Vicq d’Azyr published the stripes in Traité d'anatomie (1786), and for a while it was known as the stripe of Vicq d’Azyr.
