The Iowa Senate is the upper house of the Iowa General Assembly, the legislature of the U.S. state of Iowa. One State Senator is elected from each of the state's 50 electoral districts, with each Senate district containing two House of Representatives districts. The 2023–25 term is part of the 90th General Assembly. , 16 of those seats are held by Democrats and 34 by Republicans. The presiding officer is the President of the Senate, who is chosen by the majority party and elected by the Senate. In addition, senators elect a President pro tempore, chosen in the same manner as the President, and the respective party caucuses elect a majority and minority leader, a majority and minority whip, and assistant party leaders.

Senators serve for four-year terms and are elected in even-numbered years, with half of the Senate elected every two years in the general election on election day, as part of the presidential and midterm elections.  Newly elected senators are sworn in and begin work on the second Monday of January. Should a senator resign from office before his or her term expires, the governor calls a special election to replace the senator. Senators are not term-limited.

Senators generally serve on several standing committees and often serve on joint appropriations subcommittees, permanent statutory committees and various boards and commissions.

The Banu Mustaliq () is an Arab tribe. The tribe is a sub-clan of the Banu Khuza'a, descended from Azdi Qahtani. They occupied the territory of Qadid on the Red Sea shore between Jeddah and Rabigh.

History

The Banu al Mustaliq, allied to the Quraish of Mecca, were the subject to an attack by Muslims in the month of Sha'ban of the year 626 CE (5 AH) according to Leone Caetani. The Muslim force met the Banu Mustaliq in battle at a watering place called al-Muraysi‘ and defeated them soundly, taking the Mustaliq chief, al-Harith and others captive.

Among the captives taken by the Muslims was al-Harith's daughter Juwayriya. She initially fell among the booty of Muhammad's companion Thabit ibn Qays ibn Al-Shammas. Troubled by this, Juwayriya sought a deed of redemption from Muhammad. Muhammad proposed to marry her and as a result freed her from the bondage of Thabit and consequently ameliorated the condition of her captured tribe.

The campaign also involved a conflict between the Muhajirun and the Ansar when, on the march home, a Bedouin servant of Umar pushed an ally of the Khazraj, whose chief Ibn Ubayy reportedly tried to spread discontent. Muhammad forestalled any fighting by immediately continuing the march. Later on, Muhammad's wife Aisha was rumoured to have committed adultery, an accusation that was settled by Muhammad announcing that he had received a revelation confirming Aisha's innocence.

Invasion of Banu Mustaliq

Invasion of Banu Mustaliq took place in December, 627 CE, 8th (Sha'ban) month of 6 AH of the Islamic Calendar. 200 families were taken as captives, 200 camels and 5000 sheep and goats, as well as a huge quantity of household goodswere taken as booty. The household goods were sold in an auction to the highest bidders.

Julius Guttmann (Hebrew: יוליוס גוטמן), born Yitzchak Guttmann (15 April 1880 in Hildesheim – 19 May 1950 in Jerusalem), was a German-born rabbi, Jewish theologian, and philosopher of religion.

Biography 
Julius was born to Jakob Guttmann (1845–1919) while Jakob served as Chief Rabbi at Hildesheim during the years 1874 to 1892, when Hildesheim still had a large Jewish population. Jakob himself published papers on a number of philosophical topics.  The family moved to Breslau in 1880. 

Julius received his basic training at the Breslau Rabbinical Seminary and the University of Breslau.  He was lecturer at Breslau from 1910 to 1919, and Lecturer at the Hochschule for the Academic Study of Judaism (The Reform Seminary) in Berlin from 1919 to 1934.  At that time, he became Professor of Jewish Philosophy at Hebrew University, a position which he held until his death.

Works 
Guttmann is best known for  Die Philosophie des Judentums (Reinhardt, 1933), translations of which are available in Hebrew, Spanish, English, Japanese, etc.  The English title is The Philosophy of Judaism: The History of Jewish Philosophy from Biblical Times to Franz Rosenzweig.

 sees in this publication "the last product in the direct line of the authentic Judaeo-German 'Science of Judaism',"  more commonly known as Wissenschaft des Judentums.  While that movement did not utterly expire with the publication of Guttman's work—its spirit living on in the work of G. Scholem and H.A. Wolfson among many others—it is certainly the case that the Wissenschaft movement in Germany had by the 1930s already ceased to thrive.

The original German edition of Philosophie des Judentums ends with Hermann Cohen, the primary influence on Guttman's own philosophy, while the later Hebrew edition includes Franz Rosenzweig.  It is also notable that Guttman's work excludes major thinkers of the Kabbalistic school, which reflects his own attitude toward Jewish philosophy (Werblowsky 1964).

Diaballik is an abstract strategy board game designed by Philippe Lefrançois. It attempts to simulate a sport wherein two teams are simultaneously trying to get their ball to the opposite team's goal line. The board depicts a 7x7 grid.

Rules 
Diaballik's rules are simple. Each opponent has a team composed of seven players, one of which has a ball. There is no mechanism to remove players, so there are always 14 players in the game.

The goal of the game is to bring a player to the opponent's side with the ball.

Opponents take turns and can optionally take three actions during their turn in any order: two moves and one ball throw. A move is to move one player just one horizontal or vertical space.

The player with the ball can throw his ball to another player of his team who is located in the vertical line, the horizontal line or a diagonal line and if no opposing player is in the way. As in handball, the player with the ball cannot move while he has the ball. So to move, the ball holder must pass to one of his partners. Moves can only be made in the horizontal or vertical direction and only if the destination is unoccupied. Moving diagonally requires two moves, since one must move horizontally, then vertically, in two stages (as such one cannot move diagonally between two pieces).

Anti-game rule 
Opponents need to bring at least one of their players to the other side. If all players of a team are adjacent, one per column, the adverse team cannot reach the adverse side, because they form an uncrossable line. The "anti-game" rule dissuades opponents to make an uncrossable line. In practice the "anti-game" rule specifies that if an opponent puts its players in an uncrossable line and at least three opposing players are adjacent to this line, then the opponent players wins.

Variant 
With the variant configuration, it is possible to attack very quickly.

Strategy 
At each turn, the number of possible actions averages between 200 and 1,000. To win it is essential to attack but it is also crucial to defend from the opponent's attacks.

Jeffrie Eugene Long Jr. (born November 12, 1996) is an American politician who is a member of the Maryland House of Delegates for District 27B in Calvert and Prince George's counties in Maryland.

Background
Long graduated from Huntingtown High School and later attended Liberty University, where he earned a Bachelors of Arts degree in clinical psychology. He is currently the pastor at Communion Church in Huntingtown, Maryland. Long previously served as a legislative aide to then-President of the Maryland Senate Thomas V. Miller Jr. and state senators Joanne C. Benson and Michael Jackson.

In 2020, Long was elected as a Democratic National Convention delegate, pledged to Joe Biden, with 19.5 percent of the vote.

In February 2021, Long applied to fill a vacancy in the Maryland House of Delegates left by the appointment of state delegate Michael Jackson to the Maryland Senate. The Prince George's County Democratic Committee nominated Jacqueline Steele-McCall to fill the vacancy, but the Calvert County Democratic Central Committee picked Rachel Jones to fill the vacancy. Jones was ultimately appointed to the seat by Governor Larry Hogan on February 17, 2021. Long challenged Jones' incumbency in the 2022 Maryland House of Delegates election, defeating her in the Democratic primary with 54.3 percent of the vote. He faced no opposition in the general election.

In the legislature
Long was sworn into the Maryland House of Delegates on January 11, 2023. He and Joe Vogel are the first Gen-Z members of the Maryland General Assembly. He is a member of the House Environment and Transportation Committee.

Political positions
Long has described himself as a "fiscal conservative". During his House of Delegates candidacy, Long campaigned on topics such as women's rights, making schools safer, fixing the state's transportation system, and making Maryland more retiree-friendly.

Personal life
Long lives in Huntingtown, Maryland. During his 2022 House of Delegates campaign, he lived in Brandywine, Maryland.

In April 2023, Long was charged with home invasion and first-degree felony assault after allegedly breaking into his aunt's Huntingtown home and threatening her with a pipe. His attorneys denied the charges, arguing that Long was not in the area when it occurred and that the charges were the result of an undisclosed family matter. If convicted, Long faced a maximum of 25 years in prison for each charge. In May 2023, both charges were downgraded before trial to misdemeanors, second-degree assault and fourth-degree burglary. In August 2023, the St. Mary's County State's Attorney's Office dropped all charges against Long.

An autonomy referendum was held in North Macedonia on 7 November 2004. Voters were asked whether they approved of overturning the municipal redistricting plans that gave greater autonomy to ethnic Albanians following the Ohrid Agreement that ended the 2001 conflict between ethnic Albanian militants and the predominantly ethnic Macedonian government forces. These had been changed to give ethnic Albanians greater control in districts where they had significant presence and gives local authorities greater control over education, health and development. It also reduced the number of municipalities from 123 to 84.

Although 95% voted in favour of the change, the voter turnout of 27% was well below the 50% threshold, resulting in it failing.

Background
The referendum was initiated by the World Macedonian Congress, led by Todor Petrov, whose "group of Voters" party won 0.25% of the vote in the 1998 parliamentary election. It was backed by conservative parties, notably VMRO-DPMNE, and non-Albanian ethnic minority parties. Backers were opposed to the Ohrid Accord and said the law was divisive and would lead to the breakup of the Republic of Macedonia.

The then Prime Minister, Hari Kostov said he would quit if the referendum succeeded and urged voters to boycott the vote, so it would fail to meet the 50% turnout requirement.

The European Union and United States also urged a boycott, and said that accession to the EU and NATO would be more difficult. Four days before the vote the United States announced they would start referring to the country as the Republic of Macedonia rather than the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in a move said to strengthen the government position.

Prior to the vote, a Macedonian newspaper carried a story suggesting that if the referendum succeeded, Albanian militants had planned to blow up a pipeline carrying water to the capital Skopje.

Opinion polls prior to the vote suggested support of between 56 and 65% of voters.
