The International Day of Light is celebrated each year on May 16. Its purpose, per UNESCO, is to strengthen cooperation and leverage its potential to foster peace and development. Light-based technologies play an important role in education, science, art, culture,  sustainable development, communications, energy and medicine. The annual celebration is organized by UNESCO

History 
The first International Day of Light celebration was organized by UNESCO on May 16, 2018, the anniversary of the day in 1960 when engineer and physicist Theodore Maiman successfully fired the first laser.

The International Day of Light followed the International Year of Light in 2015. The Day was proposed by Ghana, Mexico, New Zealand and the Russian Federation and was supported by UNESCO's Executive Board. The UNESCO General Conference approved the proposal in November 2017.

Purpose 

The study of light, and light-based technologies, has helped us transform our world in extraordinary ways. Light-based technologies include microscopes, X-ray machines, telescopes, cameras, electric lights and television screens.  The International Day of Light is intended to promote scientific cooperation and to harness the potential of science to foster peace and sustainable development.

York Island is an island in Sierra Leone. It is a small island located  to the east of Bonthe, Sherbro Island. It is part of the Bonthe Island Municipality.

The principal settlement on York Island is York, a small fishing village. The population is in decline, something which is attributed to the designation of the Sherbro River as a Marine Protected Area. This has had a negative impact on the livelihoods of the inhabitants who are now unable to build canoes of sufficient size to make sea fishing safe and viable.

History
York Island was rented from a Bulom King by the English Royal Africa Company, who built a factory for use in the slave trade on the island. This was fortified with stone walls and equipped with cannon. Thomas Corker's career took off following his appointment as chief agent on York Island.

The "Sport" camera is the series production model of a prototype camera called Gelveta. The Gelveta was designed and built by A. O. Gelgar between 1934 and 1935. It is the earliest known production 35mm SLR camera ever to be built, but fewer than 320 examples were made. The actual launch date of the "Sport" is somewhat uncertain, however it was in series production by 1936 and must undoubtedly be one of the two earliest generally available SLR cameras using the 35mm film format, the other being the German Ihagee Kine Exakta, launched in 1936. It was manufactured by the Soviet camera factory Gosudarstvennyi Optiko-Mekhanicheskii Zavod, The State Optical-Mechanical Factory in Leningrad. GOMZ for short. The camera name is engraved in Cyrillic on the finder housing above the lens: „Спорm“. The manufacturer's prism logo in gold on black with the factory initials ГОМЗ (GOMZ) is shown behind a circular magnifying window on the top left camera front. An estimated number of 19,000 cameras were made before Leningrad was besieged in September 1941 and suffered heavy damage. The design concept was not continued later.

The development of the "Sport" was a lengthy process. It was predeceeded by the "Filmanka" SLR designed in Russia by A. A. Min as early as 1931. The "Filmanka" was transferred to GOMZ and may have inspired the pre-production Gelveta design, which turned into the "Sport" production model.  The B and 1/25 to 1/500 second focal-plane shutter employs a pair of metal plates, which form a vertically rising slit during exposure. The slit width determines the exposure. The shutter operation incorporates a quick-rising non-returning reflex mirror. The combined shutter speed dial and wind-on knob, situated on the right-hand side, is stationary during exposure. The film transport is from cassette to cassette, no rewind is provided. The original pair of cassettes would take enough film for fifty exposures. A manual-reset frame counter is at the base of the wind-on knob. The camera has an eye-level vertical viewfinder for looking down onto the focusing screen, as well as a built-in direct vision "action finder". The integral camera base and back is removed for film loading. The camera was designed to take interchangeable bayonet mounted lenses, but the only lens available was the Industar "И-10  1 : 3, 5  F = 5 cm" lens. Except for a few examples there is no serial number on the camera body, the lens serial number is used for identification. The camera bayonet lens mount incorporates the focusing helix with an infinity catch, and the mount itself is similar to that for the Zeiss Ikon Contax.

Jacques Gamelin (October 3, 1738 – October 12, 1803) was an artist born in Carcassonne, France, the son of a successful merchant. After receiving an education from the Jesuits, he went into the service of Nicolas Joseph de Marcassus, baron de Puymaurin (1718–1791), a wealthy industrialist of Toulouse, in order to learn the ways of business. Puymaurin quickly saw that his young assistant had little talent or interest in business but showed great promise as an artist. Gamelin's father rejected Puymaurin's suggestion that Jacques be sent to an art academy, so the baron paid his way at the Académie royale de Toulouse himself. After five years study, Jacques Gamelin won the Académie's first prize and he went to Paris to continue his studies. Gamelin later went to Rome with Puymaurin's financial assistance to study under Jacques-Louis David and Joseph-Marie Vien and eventually became a painter to Pope Clement XIV. On the death of his father, which left Jacques a wealthy man, he returned to Toulouse where he taught at the Académie. He is most known today for his paintings and engravings of battle scenes, which can be found in art museums throughout France. Jacques Gamelin died in Carcassonne on October 12, 1803.

When Jacques Gamelin returned to France after his father's death, he undertook his great work, Nouveau recueil d'ostéologie et de myologie, most likely funding its publication using some of his great inheritance. The work is known for its display of both talent and imagination, with striking scenes of the Resurrection, the Crucifixion, and skeletons at play. Aside from the full-page copperplate illustrations by Gamelin and the engraver Lavalée, the work contains a number of intriguing vignettes on the title pages and elsewhere, which show battle scenes, visitations by death on unsuspecting revelers, and the anatomical artist's studio.

Ilias Degiannis (; 22 December 1912 – 18 June 1943) was a Greek navy officer Resistance leader during the Axis occupation of Greece.

Degiannis had participated in the abortive pro-Republican coup attempt of March 1935, and been dismissed from the navy as a result. 

He was one of a number of pro-Liberal or left-wing Greeks contacted and recruited by Section D of British intelligence in early 1941, forming an intelligence cell called "Prometheus" (Προμηθεύς) under the leadership of Colonel Evripidis Bakirtzis. Due to the German invasion of Greece and the rapid conquest of the country in April–May 1941, the British were not able to organize their clandestine network on a firm basis or provide them with suitable material such as radios. Following the British withdrawal, only the Prometheus group used its transmitter to send information to SOE in Cairo. 

In early 1942, Bakirtzis was forced to leave Greece because his identity had been revealed to the Germans. Degiannis, along with fellow participants in the 1935 coup Charalambos Koutsogiannopoulos and Dimitris Bardopoulos, was left in charge of the group which was reorganized as "Prometheus II". The group collected intelligence for the SOE and engaged in a successful sabotage campaign against Axis shipping. 

He was arrested, tortured and executed by the Germans on 18 June 1943. He was promoted posthumously to Commander.

In December 1980 the Hellenic Navy commissioned the La Combattante IIIb-class fast attack craft Ypoploiarchos Degiannis (P 26) in his honour. 

His brother Theodoros Degiannis became an admiral and chief of the Hellenic National Defence General Staff in 1982–1984, while another brother Ioannis Degiannis became a senior judge, presiding over the Greek Junta Trials.

Aisin Gioro Chong'an (崇安; 5 September 1705 – 14 October 1733) was Qing dynasty imperial prince as Chuntai's fourth son and sixth-generation descendant of Daišan, Nurhaci's second son. Chong'an was the third Prince Kang of the First Rank before his peerage was renamed back to "Prince Li of the First Rank" in commemoration of Daishan's contribution to establishment of the Qing dynasty.

Life 
Chong'an was born on 5 September 1705 to lady Irgen Gioro, Chuntai's secondary spouse. Chong'an inherited father's princely title on 20 June 1709, having barely been 4 years old. As a prince Kang of the First Rank, Chong'an became the general commander of the Manchu Plain Red Banner.In 1725, Chong'an and other ministers charged Yunsi with litany of 40 crimes, including attempt of usurpation of the imperial throne through creation of the "Eight Lord Party". Those accusations led to Yunsi's banishment from the imperial clan and condemnation of his supporters.

Chong'an was furthermore entrusted with affairs of the Imperial Clan Court, which happened in 1727. In 1731, Chong'an commanded the defence of Guihua city from Dzungars. When the defence failed, Chong'an was appointed as a generalissimus of Eight Banners force. Shortly after receiving the seals, Chong'an was summoned back to the capital. He died of injuries during the battle on 14 October 1733 and was posthumously honoured as Prince Kangxiu of the First Rank.

Family 
Chong'an was married to lady Magiya, daughter of duke Zhongda Malishan (马礼善).
