Aba Island is an island on the White Nile to the south of Khartoum, Sudan.  It is the original home of the Mahdi in Sudan and the spiritual base of the Umma Party.

History 

Aba Island was the birthplace of the Mahdiyya, first declared on June 29, 1881 as a religious movement by Muhammad Ahmad, the self-proclaimed Mahdi.

The island was the site of the first battle of the Mahdist War on August 12, 1881.

In the early 1920s, between 5,000 and 15,000 pilgrims were coming to Aba Island each year to celebrate Ramadan. Many of them identified 'Abd al-Rahman with the prophet Jesus, and assumed that he would drive the Christian colonists out of Sudan.

The British found that the Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi was in correspondence with agents and leaders in Nigeria and Cameroon, predicting the eventual victory of the Mahdists over the Christians. They blamed him for unrest in these colonies. After pilgrims from West Africa held mass demonstrations on Aba Island in 1924, Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi was told to put a stop to the pilgrimages.

Airstrike (1970) 
Responding to a 1970 Ansar protest against his newly established government in Khartoum, Gaafar Nimeiry attacked the island in March-April 1970 with the help of Egyptian Air Force fighter-bombers, allegedly directed by Hosni Mubarak who was then a young air force chief.  About 12,000 Ansar were killed in the assault including the uncle of Sadiq al-Mahdi and the extensive holdings and property of the Mahdi family were sequestered by the state.

The Canaan Meetinghouse is a historic meeting house on Canaan Street in Canaan, New Hampshire. Built in 1794, with some subsequent alterations, it is a good example of a Federal period meeting house, serving as a center of town civic and religious activity for many years. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, and included in the Canaan Street Historic District the following year. The building is still owned by the town, and is available for rent.

Description and history
The Canaan Meetinghouse is located at the southwest corner of Canaan Street and Apple Blossom Road, overlooking Canaan Street Lake to the east. It is a 2½-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. A square tower projects from the short front side, rising  to a clock stage and open octagonal belfry. The current main entrance is at the base of the tower, framed by pilasters and a corniced entablature; the original main entrance is located at the center of the long south side, with a slightly simpler surround. The interior is outfitted with bench pews, a replacement for the original box pews, and the gallery level has been covered over to provide a full second story.

The Federal-style building was constructed for use as a church in the mid-1790s. It was also used for town meetings from an early date, and was purchased by the town in 1829, at which time it was reoriented to have the entrance on the short end. Originally built with projecting stairwells on the short sides, one of the stairwells was mounted on top of the other to create the tower after the town bought the building. In 1841 the upper gallery was converted to a full second floor, intended for use as a church space by the local Baptist congregation.

The action of 10 May 1915 was a naval encounter between the Russian pre-dreadnought squadron and the Ottoman battlecruiser Yavuz Sultan Selim  in the Black Sea. After a brief exchange of fire the Ottomans withdrew.

Background
On 9 May 1915, a Russian squadron attacked Ottoman shipping between Kozlu and Eregli, sinking four steamers and many sailing ships. The battlecruiser Yavuz Sultan Selim, under Captain Richard Ackermann, immediately put to sea in order to intercept the Russians. Early on the morning of 10 May, a bombardment force detached from the Russian squadron in order to attack the Bosphorus forts. This consisted of the obsolete pre-dreadnoughts  and  Panteleimon, the seaplane carriers Almaz and Imperator Alexander I, as well as a screen of destroyers and minesweepers.

Battle
The Ottoman destroyer , acting as a guard ship at the mouth of the Bosphorus, sighted the bombardment force and radioed a warning to Yavuz. Captain Ackermann promptly set his ship on a course to intercept at . The destroyer proceeded to engage the minesweepers but was forced to withdraw under heavy fire from the battleships. The protected cruiser  then spotted Yavuz and reported it to the fleet, giving the bombardment force time to break off before it was sighted.

Cruising  off of the Bosphorus at  was Russian Admiral Andrei Eberhardt's covering force, consisting of the newer pre-dreadnoughts  (the flagship), , and . Ackermann was unaware of this, and ran right into the squadron.

At 07:53 hours, Eberhardt's force met Yavuz sailing along a parallel course. Ackermann believed this to be the bombardment detail, though he was confused as to why he was facing three battleships instead of two. He soon realized his mistake when Tri Sviatitelia and Panteleimon joined the Russian battle line. The Ottoman battlecruiser fired 160  shells in the ensuing engagement, but scored no hits and caused no damage. One near miss on Evstafi sent a cascade of water over the flying bridge, drenching Admiral Eberhardt and his staff. In return, the Russians landed one heavy caliber shell on Yavuzs forecastle, and another on her forward armoured belt. Outnumbered and outgunned, Captain Ackermann ordered his ship to disengage at 08:12. The Russians pursued the battlecruiser to the north before it doubled back and returned to Ottoman waters.

Aftermath
Though the Ottomans had been forced to retreat, the damaged they suffered was minimal and they disrupted the Russians' planned bombardment in the Bosphorus. The action also made the Russians more wary about dividing their pre-dreadnought squadron.

The Brit Award for International Song is an award given by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), an organisation which represents record companies and artists in the United Kingdom. The accolade is presented at the Brit Awards, an annual celebration of British and international music. The winners and nominees are determined by the Brit Awards voting academy with over one thousand members, which comprise record labels, publishers, managers, agents, media, and previous winners and nominees. The inaugural winner of the category was Olivia Rodrigo.

History
The category was introduced in 2022 following a restructuring which resulted in the removal of gendered categories. It is the first award to recognise individual songs by international artists and only the second category, following the Brit Award for International Album (1977, 2002-2011), to honor the work of international artists rather than the artists themselves.

The Swiss 7.5mm center-fire revolver cartridge, also known as 7.5x23mmR, was used militarily in the 1882 and 1882/1929 revolvers of the Swiss army, as well as in Swiss civilian revolvers of the 'bulldog' type.  The case is of brass; the heeled bullet is of a hard lead alloy, fully jacketed and coated externally with a wax lubricant. Originally it was loaded with  of black powder.

Very similar revolver cartridges were used in the late 19th century military revolvers adopted by the armies of Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, and Serbia.

.32 S&W Long with lead (non-jacketed) bullets is very similar ballistically and in dimensions, so Swiss revolvers are often shot with it, especially by handloaders.

Edmund Holloway (c. 1820 – 18 August 1906) was an Australian actor.

History
Edmund "Old Ned" Holloway was born in Hull, England, and came out to Australia as a sailor "jumping ship" at Hobart. He worked on the Melbourne stage for some years before his first appearance in Sydney as Pythias to James Stark's Damon in 1853. In later years he played supporting roles to such stars as G. V. Brooke and Charles Kean. Perhaps owing something to his years before the mast, he would later play nautical parts with conviction. He had a fine deep voice, and was a popular "Raimondo" in Lucia di Lammermoor.

He was in partnership with George Coppin turning an old brewery in Geelong into a theatre. He tried his hand as stage manager, and was well respected by actors but had little success as a promoter and was forced to declare himself insolvent in 1861.

In 1865 he teamed up with Lachlan McGowan (full name Lachlan McGowan Todd) and Freyberger as lessees of the Theatre Royal, Ballarat, enjoying some success until mid-1869, when they began losing money and were obliged to file for insolvency.

In 1870 Mr and Mrs Holloway toured New Zealand. before playing Augustin Daly's Under the Gaslight at the Adelphi.

In 1874 he leased the Queen's Theatre, Sydney where the couple played Palgrave Simpson's Broken Ties to good houses, the first appearance for both actors in three years.

In 1875–76 he teamed up with McGowan as lessees of the Theatre Royal, Newcastle in opposition to George P. Carey at the Victoria.
Later that same year they leased the Olympic Theatre, Maitland, where Frank and Annie Towers played Uncle Tom's Cabin showcasing their precocious daughter Rosa.

From 1878 to 1901 Holloway was closely associated with Alfred Dampier and his Australian Dramatic Company at the Alexandra Theatre, playing Robbery Under Arms, For the Term of His Natural Life (as the hominivorous "Gabbit") and W. J. Lincoln's The Bush King and as Paul Kruger in Briton and Boer (1900).

He died at his residence, "Chowringhie", Garden Street, South Yarra, and was buried at St Kilda. His age was thought to be close to 90.
Reckoned the oldest Australian actor still working, his last role was as Dan Moran, Starlight's rival in Robbery Under Arms.

Personal 
Holloway married three times. His second wife Elizabeth (c. 1838 – 23 May 1887), whom he married 1870 or earlier, was a fine actress and a most sympathetic person. She was Irish; her remains were buried in the Catholic section of Waverley Cemetery.
They had a home at 109 Goulburn Street, Sydney.

He married again, in August 1900, to actress Miss Jennie (or Jenny) Nye. No mention of children has been found.

Holloway was extremely reticent about his age, which associates thought to be "close to 90" when he died. He was not related to William and Charles Holloway, both also well-known actors of the era.

Terang College is a government school located in Terang, Victoria, Australia. The school was established in 1848 as Terang Primary School.

The school educates over 400 students from preparatory to year 12 on two campuses. The primary campus is located on the Southern (Warrnambool) side of the town and houses years preparatory to 4. The secondary campus is on Strong Street, and comprises a middle years section and an upper years section. This campus caters for children in years 5 to 12.

Three of its students have been killed in road accidents. To commemorate the dead students, and to draw attention to road safety, in 2008–09 two students led a school-based apprenticeship project to build a 35-metre treated pine boardwalk.

A wetlands precinct has been established to highlight and educate about the changing needs of the environment, and this is situated at the secondary campus. A student vegetable garden is in use, and is tended to each year by a certain year level of students.

The produce from this garden is frequently utilised in the school's home economics section.

Students at the school in 2008 were able to become members of the Academy of Sport, which focuses on students being given an opportunity to receive specialised training in particular sports, as decided each year. This is one of only a few schools in the state to run such programs.
