William Fessenden Allen

William Fessenden Allen (1831–1906) was an American businessman in the Kingdom of Hawaii and Republic of Hawaii.
Life
William Fessenden Allen was born December 19, 1831 in Bangor, Maine.
His mother was Sarah Elizabeth Fessenden.
His father was politician and diplomat Elisha Hunt Allen (1804–1883). After his mother died in 1845, he was brought up by his mother's mother Patty Fessenden in Brattleboro, Vermont, along with his brother and his two sisters.
Allen attended Williams College from 1848 to 1850.
When his father was appointed Consul to the Kingdom of Hawaii, they sailed to Honolulu and arrived on May 31, 1850. However, the young Allen was attracted to the California Gold Rush and spent two years working in San Francisco. In 1852 he joined his father in Hawaii and worked as bookkeeper in a store selling supplies to whaling ships. He officially renounced his American citizenship and became naturalized to the Kingdom of Hawaii on June 19, 1860.
Allen married Cordelia Church Bishop (1837–1912), the cousin of banker Charles Reed Bishop, in 1865 at San Francisco.
He served as president of the sugarcane plantation in Princeville, Hawaii when his father traveled back to Washington, DC.
Government
Allen served as the Collector General of Customs for the Kingdom of Hawaii from January 1, 1864 until September 19, 1884.
On March 5, 1867 King Kamehameha V appointed him to his staff with ceremonial rank of Colonel. He was reappointed by King Lunalilo in 1873 and King Kalākaua in 1874. Kalākaua appointed Allen to his Privy Council on January 18, 1879.
After the overthrow of the Kingdom of Hawaii Allen was on the Advisory Council of the Provisional Government of Hawaii (serving as chairman in March 1894), and then the Executive Council of the Republic of Hawaii.
Allen's health started to fail in 1905 and he died after suffering a stroke February 5, 1906 in Honolulu.

Larry Rosenthal

Larry Rosenthal
Lawrence John Rosenthal (May 21, 1910 – March 4, 1992) was a professional baseball outfielder in the 1930s and 1940s. He first played with the Chicago White Sox in 1936, and hit .281 in 317 at bats. He actually started out spectacularly, getting on base three or more times in 19 of his first 50 games, two more than the next four players, who include Joe DiMaggio. He played with the White Sox until 1941, when he was purchased by the Cleveland Indians. He then spent two years in the minor leagues, returning to the majors in 1944. Rosenthal played poorly, and never had much playing time afterward, although he played briefly for the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Athletics.
Rosenthal is second all-time (Jeremy Giambi) for most walks with fewer than 1500 career

Terminus des anges

Terminus des anges (English: Angels' Last Stop) is a 2010 Moroccan anthology film directed by Mohamed Mouftakir, Hicham Lasri and Narjiss Nejjar, released in 2010. The film is a combination of three short films, each directed by a different director. It premiered at the National Film Festival of Tangier. The film tackles the subject of AIDS.
Synopsis
The film starts in the middle of the night on a Casablanca street, where a woman suddenly finds herself arrested for prostitution, after a police search revealed she was carrying condoms. In the second part of the film directed by Mohamed Mouftakir, the first wife of an HIV-positive man who committed suicide, watches a video he left her explaining the reasons for his suicide. The last part of the film features two young people who meet for the first time and want to make love. The young man, a failed artist and dreamer, would like to do so without a condom. The young woman refuses in spite of the various far-fetched arguments of her companion. Finally, by chance, all the characters of the film end up at the police station.

Maud Wagner

Maud Wagner
Maud Stevens Wagner (née Stevens; February 12, 1877 – January 30, 1961) was an American circus performer. She was the first known female tattoo artist in the United States.
Life and career
Wagner was born in 1877, in Emporia, Kansas, to David Van Bran Stevens and Sarah Jane McGee.
Wagner was an aerialist and contortionist, working in numerous traveling circuses. She met Gus Wagner—a tattoo artist who described himself as "the most artistically marked up man in America" while traveling with circuses and sideshows—at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (World's Fair) in 1904, where she was working as an aerialist. She exchanged a romantic date with him for a lesson in tattooing, and several years later they were married. Together they had a daughter, Lotteva, who started tattooing at the age of nine and went on to become a tattoo artist herself.
As an apprentice of her husband, Wagner learned how to give traditional "hokey-pokey" tattoos—despite the invention of the tattoo machine by Samuel O'Reilly on December 8, 1891—and became a tattooist herself. Together, the Wagners were two of the last tattoo artists to work by hand, without the aid of modern tattoo machines. Maud Wagner was the United States' first known female tattoo artist.
After leaving the circus, Maud and Gus Wagner traveled around the United States, working both as tattoo artists and "tattooed attractions" in vaudeville houses, county fairs and amusement arcades. They are credited with bringing tattoo artistry inland, away from the coastal cities and towns where the practice had started.
Death
Maud Wagner died of cancer twenty years after her husband, on January 30, 1961, at her daughter's home, in Lawton, Oklahoma. She is buried at the Homestead Cemetery in Homestead Township, Chase County, Kansas.

نهر أموندسن الجليدي

نهر أموندسن الجليدي هو عبارة عن جليدة ثلجية في القارة القطبية الجنوبية، بعرض يتراوح بين 7 و11 كم تر(4-6 أميال) وطول 150 كم (80 ميلاً)، وينشاً من هضبة القارة القطبية الجنوبية حيث يرتشح المنطقة الواقعة جنوب وغرب هضبة نيلسون وينحدر عبر جبال الملكة مود للدخول إلى حاجز روس غرب نتوء ماكدونالد الصخري الجليدي. يتدفق الرافد الجليدي بلاكوول شمال غرب على طول الجانب الشمالي الشرقي من نتوء هانسن لينضم إلى نهر أمندسن.
اكتشف هذا النهر الجليدي ريتشارد إيفلين بيرد أثناء رحلة طيران إلى القطب الجنوبي في نوفمبر 1929. اقترح الاس لورانس غولد على روال أموندسن قائد مجموعة بيرد الجيولوجية التي تخطت النهر الجليدي في ديسمبر 1929.

Assembly of the African Union

Assembly of the African Union
The Assembly of the African Union, which is formally known as the African Union Assembly of Heads of State and Government (AU-AHSG), is one of several decision-making bodies within the African Union. The other bodies are the Pan-African Parliament; the Executive Council, consisting of foreign ministers of the AU members states; and the African Union Commission. The Assembly of the African Union consists of the 55 heads of state and government of the member countries. The Assembly meets once a year.
The Chairperson of the Assembly presides the annual African Union Summit as well as the Pan-African Parliament during the election and swearing in of the President of the Pan-African Parliament.
History
The Assembly came into existence on 25 May 1963, as part of the ratification of Organization of African Unity (OAU). Initially the Assembly consisted of 32 independent members, the heads of state of the African states that had achieved independence by 1963. Until 2001, the governing constitution of the Assembly was the OAU Charter. The Assembly is now subject to the Union Act that created the African Union.
Functions
The Assembly has nine basic functions:
Set policies of the Union.
Decide on what action to take after consideration of reports and recommendations from the other organs of the Union.
Consider membership requests into the Union.
Create bodies for the Union.
Monitor the implementation of policies and decisions of the Union as well ensure compliance by all Member States.
Create a budget of the Union.
Provide direction to the Executive Council on conflicts, war and other emergency situations and the restoration of peace.
Select judges for and withdraw judges of the Court of Justice.
Appoint the Chairman of the Commission, Commissioners of the Commission, all respective deputies and determine how long they will serve and what duties they will perform.
Decisions
The Assembly shall take its decisions by consensus or, failing which, by a two-thirds majority of the Member States of the Union. However, procedural matters, including the question of whether a matter is one of procedure or not, shall be decided by a simple majority.
Two-thirds of the total membership of the Union shall form a quorum at any meeting of the Assembly.
The Assembly may delegate any of its powers and functions to any organ of the Union.
Members
The AU Assembly of the Heads of State and Government consists of the 55 heads of state and government of the member countries. The Assembly meets once a year at the AU Summit. The current Chairman of the Assembly is President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa.
The current members of the AU-AHSG are:
