Edward Moore Gawne

Edward Moore Gawne (1802–1871) was Speaker of the House of Keys in the Isle of Man.

Mr Gawne served as a Member of the House of Keys from 1829, at the relatively young age of 26, and became Speaker in 1854 following the death of his uncle. Having fought strenuously against the introduction of popular elections, Gawne oversaw what was, for him, the lowest point in the long and illustrious history of the Keys when the self-elected House was finally dissolved in 1867 and replaced by an elected body.  He was offered a knighthood but turned it down.  On his retirement from the Keys, he was presented with the antique Speaker's chair belonging to the House.  In politics he was a Tory of the old school.

He was also Captain of the Parish of Rushen.

Henry and Ribsy

Henry and Ribsy is the third book in the Henry Huggins series of humorous children's novels written by Beverly Cleary. Henry's dad has promised to take him salmon fishing on one condition – he has to keep his dog Ribsy out of trouble for two months. That's not easy to do, especially when Ramona Quimby gets involved. First published in 1954, Henry and Ribsy was originally illustrated by Louis Darling.

Henry wants to go on a salmon-fishing trip with his father. However, Ribsy has been causing a lot of trouble for the family. For example, after Henry got the job of taking out the garbage, whenever the garbage man comes, Ribsy tries to prevent the garbage man from taking away the trash because Ribsy thinks it belongs to Henry. Henry's father says that Henry can only come salmon fishing if he can keep Ribsy out of trouble for a month. Henry is able to do this, and Ribsy actually helps him catch an enormous 30 pounder salmon at the end of the day.

Knotts Island, North Carolina

Knotts Island is a marshy island and a small unincorporated community. The island is shared by Currituck County, North Carolina and Virginia Beach, Virginia, United States, bounded by the Currituck Sound, North Landing River, Back Bay, and Knotts Island Bay.  Knotts Island is home to Mackay Island National Wildlife Refuge. Knotts Island is accessible overland from Virginia Beach using Princess Anne Road, or by water from the Currituck County mainland; the North Carolina Department of Transportation operates a free ferry between Knotts Island and Currituck on the mainland.  The ZIP Code for Knotts Island is 27950.

This island is a hunting and fishing community. It has numerous duck hunting blinds located in the bay as well as on land and is home to the Swan Island Hunting Club, a guided duck hunting club located across the bay on Swan Island. It is a favorite winter travel destination of artist/painter Bob Timberlake, among others.

Over the years, many residents of the former Outer Banks community of Wash Woods, Virginia moved across the sound to settle on Knotts Island.  Eventually, Wash Woods became a ghost town, but descendants continue to live on Knotts Island to this day.

The island supports an elementary school, two churches, a post office, and a community park. 

There are several businesses located on the island. Knotts Island Market is the original general store on the island. Next to the market now there is a Dollar General store.  The only restaurant and bar on the island is Pearl's Bay Villa, commonly referred to as "Pearl's" in reference to the former owner. There are no lodgings except for a single Airbnb on Knotts Island Bay.

There is also a winery on the Island: Martin Farm and Winery which offers waterfront views with a wine tasting room and ‘pick-your-own’ peaches, apples, and muscadine grapes.

Knotts Island hosts a Peach Festival every year in June.

James de Barry, 4th Viscount Buttevant

James de Barry, 4th Viscount Buttevant and 17th Baron Barry (1520–1581) was an Irish magnate. He joined the rebels in the Desmond Rebellion and died in captivity at Dublin Castle.

Birth and origins 
James was born in 1520, probably at Rathbarry in Barryroe barony, eldest son of Richard de Barry and Isabel FitzGerald. His father was a son of James de Barry, Lord of Ibane, and his wife Elane MacCarthy of Muskerry. James's full name, inclusive of the patronymic, therefore was James FitzRichard de Barry.

His mother was a daughter of Sir James FitzGerald of Leixlip, a younger son of Gerald FitzGerald, 8th Earl of Kildare.

Marriage and children 
Before 1550 Barry married Ellen (also called Ilene), an illegitimate daughter of Cormac na Haoine MacCarthy Reagh, 13th Prince of Carbery. This was a very good marriage for him, as a member of a cadet branch of the Barry dynasty.

 
James and Ellen had five sons:
 Richard (died 1622), born deaf and dumb, was passed over in the succession and died unmarried.
 David (1550–1617), the second son, succeeded as the 5th Viscount
 William Barry, of Lislee.
 Edmund Barry, married Eleanora, daughter of James Butler, Baron Dunboyne. 
 John Barry (died 1627)

—and five daughters, of which four are known by name:
 Joan, married David Roche, 7th Viscount Fermoy
 Honora, married Patrick Condon
 Eleanor, married Sir Owen O'Sullivan, knight
 Ilane, married Callaghan MacTeighe MacCarthy of Muskerry

Viscount Buttevant, later life, and death 
His predecessor in the viscountcy, James Fitz John Barry, died childless in 1558. Barry was his cousin but not his heir, but he seized the land and usurped the title.

In 1567 Buttevant was knighted in Limerick by the Henry Sidney, the Lord Deputy.

In 1570 Buttevant received a lease, to hold for twenty-one years, of "the site of the house of the friars at Killnamullagh, alias Buttevante, County Cork, with its appurtenances at an annual rent of 16 shillings and 8 pence".

In 1575 Barry received a pardon. 

In 1579 at the outbreak of the second Desmond Rebellion, Buttevant as well as David, his son and successor, joined the rebels. Buttevant was arrested in July 1680 and detained at Dublin Castle where he died on 10 April 1581.

In the subsequent confiscations of his estates, the Buttevant Franciscan Friary, together with its glebe, passed into the hands of the poet, Edmund Spenser.

Iswarati Center for Badminton Learning

Iswarati Center for Badminton Learning (ICBL) is a school of Badminton, opened by famous former three-times Indian National Badminton Champion and two-times Olympian, Mr. Dipankar Bhattacharjee in Guwahati, Assam, India. The training center is specially created to train the youths of Assam and North-Eastern India. ICBL is a private non-profit association and created by Dipankar himself in 2004.

It is started as an association in 2004 at Guwahati with the support of few interested people morally backing Dipankar in his efforts.

Dipankar has unsuccessfully approached many sponsors like the big businesses in the area. But he is pursuing support from sponsors in the future to make this effort successful.

Dipankar takes care of coaching the students at a regular basis. The players are promised with bright future in the national and international badminton arena.

Dipankar feels that this Academy for Badminton learning is a very important step for the future of Badminton in Assam, North-East India, and India as a whole. There are ongoing efforts by authorities of Badminton like International Badminton Federation (IBF) to popularize badminton and draw more sponsors and fans into it. Dipankar also believes in these efforts and he is doing his part to contribute to the future success of making Badminton a much more entertaining and popular sports. He is constantly approaching potential sponsors in Assam and N.E. India as well as from other neighbouring states. He is optimistic that there will be growing attention towards Badminton and more interest from the big companies who already advertise their brand through other sports like Cricket and Tennis in India.

He has been one of the first member at BPL Prakash Padukone Academy in Bangalore and had
the fortune of training with Prakash. His association with Prakash has given him more hopes in venturing out in popularising Badminton and training talented youths of the oft-neglected region of Assam and the North-East India.

Jean-Sélim Kanaan

Jean-Sélim Kanaan (July 28, 1970 – August 19, 2003) was a United Nations diplomat, Egyptian, Italian and French national, who was killed in the Canal Hotel bombing in Baghdad, Iraq, along with  Sérgio Vieira de Mello and other members of his staff. Born in Rome, Italy, he was the son of an Egyptian UN diplomat, and he spoke seven languages.

Biography 
Kanaan devoted his life to humanitarian relief operations from the age of 23 until his death. In 1996 he graduated from Harvard Kennedy School with a Master of Public Policy, after graduating in business with a MBA Institute in Paris in 1992. Before that, he served in Mogadishu, Somalia, in 1992, and the following year, as a relief coordinator for Médecins du Monde in central Bosnia. In his first assignment with the UN from 1996 to 1998, he was employed by the UNOPS and served with the UN’s director of peacekeeping operations in Bosnia as the Assistant Programme Coordinator, and, from 1999 to 2000, in the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo as an assistant to Bernard Kouchner, the UN's special representative to Kosovo. Following Kosovo, and until his mission in Iraq (2003), Kanaan worked with UNOSAT at the UN Headquarters in New York City where he was managing policy questions promoting the use of GIS and other novel technologies for peacekeeping operations.  In 2002, he published a book, Ma guerre à L’indifference, (English: My war against indifference), with a preface written by Christine Ockrent. He climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and was an aviator.

Kanaan left behind his wife, Laura Dolci-Kanaan, and his three-week-old baby, Mattias-Sélim Kanaan. He was buried in a Roman Catholic cemetery in Cairo, Egypt: "Jean Sélim, martire della pace e dell'umanesimo".

Kanaan was awarded the French Legion of Honour posthumously for his work in "helping the world's weak and oppressed".

Circulation has recovered to 50,000 since then, and the paper has undertaken new initiatives, including expanded internet offerings, live events, a branding and marketing division, JJ Branding, TRIBE magazine, launched in December 2009, and Jewish Insider. The Jewish Journal, like other news media, faced financial pressures (cutting staff positions and salaries  during 2009, though since it has resumed growth in both areas), but it strengthened its financial situation in May 2010, when it received commitments from a group of local Jewish philanthropists for additional funding intended to assure its continuing financial viability.

In 2015, Tribe Media Corp. acquired Jewish Insider, a daily news service based in Washington, D.C. that was started by Max Neuberger. In 2021, Jewish Insider acquired eJewish Philanthropy.

As of at least 1999, David Suissa is the editor-in-chief and president of the Journal. Contributing writers include Rabbi Bradley Shavit Artson, Karen Lehrman Bloch, Judea Pearl, Tabby Refael, Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback, and Jonathan Kirsch, who also serves as Book Editor. Shmuel Rosner is Senior Political Correspondent.

In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack, the issue of January 16–22, 2015 was renamed "Jewish Hebdo".

 Circulation, readership, and reception 
It received awards from the Los Angeles Press Club in 2005 and 2009.

As of May 2016, the site reported about 4 million unique users per month.

 Awards 
The Jewish Journal'' received five Rockower Awards in 2021, and ten Rockower Awards in 2022, including 6 first places. In 2023, the magazine was awarded 21 Rockower Awards.

Martin Nedić

Martin Nedić (Tolisa 1 April 1810 – 26 April 1895) was a Bosnian poet. He wrote mostly under the pseudonym "Stari Ilir iz Bosne" (Old Illyrian from Bosnia) "Martin Nedić Bošnjak" and "fra Martin Nedić Bošnjačanin" (Martin Nedić the Bosniak).

Nedić attended school in Tolisa under fra Bono Benić Jr. He went on to gymnasium in Kraljeva Sutjeska and studied philosophy and theology in Subotica, Szolnok, Agrija, Gyöngyös and Vác.

As a student he was drawn to the ideas of the Illyrian Movement which he soon adopted and incorporated into his own writing. He wrote historical poems as well as commemorative, with eventful and sacramental contents.
Together with Marijan Šunjić, Ivan Franjo Jukić, Jako Baltić, Blaž Josić and fra Grgo Martić, Nedić's cultural and political orientation was based on the para-political tradition of Bosna Srebrena as a Franciscan province and the only officially recognized entity under the influence of the Catholic Church in the Ottoman Balkans at the time. The group's national belonging was always and primarily defined as Bosnian, in such a way so as to include all ethnic and denominational groups inhabiting that space.
Nedić also wrote memos from Bosnia, compiled reports about the state of Catholic schools in Bosnia, and collected and published historical materials and national treasures.

Death & Taxes (film)

Death & Taxes is a 1993 documentary film directed by Jeffrey F. Jackson about Gordon Kahl, a tax protester who was killed in a shootout with local law enforcement officials in Smithville, Arkansas in 1983.

Synopsis
The documentary focuses on Kahl, a tax protester that was killed as part of a shootout in Arkansas in 1983. It utilized interviews and archive material, as well as footage from Kahl's exhumation and the 1991 made-for-TV movie In the Line of Duty: Manhunt in the Dakotas starring Rod Steiger.

Reception
Variety reviewed the documentary, writing that it was "a hard-hitting reinvestigation of the 1983 Gordon Kahl case, about which questions still linger. Jackson's unfazed, investigative reporting style approach and inventive handling of familiar material make this a controversial item for fests and progressive webs." Billboard also looked at the film and noted that it "has only a slim potential audience, but provides plenty of fodder for those interested in its subject matter."

Luitpold, Margrave of Bavaria

Luitpold (or Liutpold) (modern Leopold) (died 4 July 907), perhaps of the Huosi family or related to the Carolingian dynasty by Liutswind, mother of Emperor Arnulf of Carinthia, was the ancestor of the Luitpolding dynasty which ruled Bavaria and Carinthia until the mid-tenth century.

Biography 
In 893, he was appointed margrave in the March of Carinthia and Upper Pannonia by Arnulf of Carinthia, then King of East Francia. Luitpold succeeded the deposed Margrave Engelschalk II of the Wilhelminer family; unlike his predecessors he could extend his power unimpeded by the mighty Margrave Aribo, acquiring numerous counties in Carinthia as well as on the Danube and in the Nordgau around Regensburg from 895 on, and setting himself up as the most prominent of Bavaria's aristocracy. Though he thereby laid the foundations of the renewed stem duchy, it was his son Arnulf the Bad who, based on his father's acquisitions, first assumed the title of a Bavarian duke.

As Luitpold remained a loyal supporter of the Carolingian monarch Arnulf of Carinthia and his son Louis the Child, he enjoyed their support and was entrusted with the defence at the Hungarian and Moravian borders. In 898 he fought successfully against Mojmír II, the king of Great Moravia, on behalf of the king's rebellious brother Svatopluk II and forced Mojmír to become a vassal of Arnulf. In 903, Luitpold held the title of a dux Boemanorum, "Duke in Bohemia". He organised the Frankish defence against the Magyars under Grand Prince Árpád after invading Hungary, on 4 July 907 was killed east of Vienna in the Battle of Pressburg.

Marriage and issue
Luitpold married Cunigunde of Swabia, daughter of Berthold I, royal Count palatine in Swabia, and sister of Duke Erchanger of Swabia, a member of the Ahalolfing dynasty. After Luitpold's death Cunigunda married King Conrad I of Germany in 913. Luitpold had two sons by her: 
Arnulf the Bad, Duke of Bavaria from 907 to 937
Berthold, Duke of Bavaria from 938 to 948.
From his descendants' titles, Luitpold is often called a duke of Bavaria or margrave of Bavaria, the latter title being more accurate to his actual status.

Burma zebra danio

The Burma zebra danio or KP01 danio is a tropical fish belonging to the minnow family (Cyprinidae).  It is believed to originate in Myanmar. This fish was discovered in 2006 and is believed to be a separate species from the zebra danio (which occurs many miles away in India) to which it has a close resemblance. However, it is more likely to be closely related to the Yoma danio (also from Myanmar), and is believed to be a similar size, 6–9 cm, to the latter.

In the wild, the Burma zebra danio is likely found in rivers in a tropical climate and prefer water with a 6.5 - 7.0 pH, a water hardness of 5.0 - 12.0 dGH, and an ideal temperature range of 75-82 °F (24-28 °C).  The Burma zebra danio is oviparous (an egg layer).

Julius Bartels

Julius Bartels (17 August 1899, Magdeburg – 6 March 1964) was a German geophysicist and statistician who made notable contributions to the physics of the Sun and Moon; to geomagnetism and meteorology; and to the physics of the ionosphere. He also made fundamental contributions to statistical methods for geophysics. Bartels was the first President of the International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy (IAGA). With Sydney Chapman, he wrote the influential book Geomagnetism.

Life and career
Bartels was awarded his Ph.D. from Göttingen in 1923, then worked at the Potsdam magnetic observatory as a post-doctorate. In 1928, he was named professor at Eberswalde, teaching meteorology. He became full professor at Berlin University in 1936, and director of the Potsdam Geophysical Institute. From 1931 until the second year of World War II, he was also a research associate at the Carnegie Institution of Washington. He collaborated with Sydney Chapman to publish the two-volume work Geomagnetism, a definitive reference on geophysics.

In 1933, Bartels signed the Vow of allegiance of the Professors of the German Universities and High-Schools to Adolf Hitler and the National Socialistic State.

Following the war in 1946, he became professor in Göttingen. He was also a director at the Max Planck Institute for Physics of the Stratosphere (today Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research) between 1955 and 1964. When, in 1958 International Council for Science, created the Committee on Space Research (COSPAR), Bartels became chairman of the West-German branch. From 1954 until 1957, he served as first President of the IAGA. Between 1960 and 1963, he was vice-president of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics.

Research

Among his contributions was the development of the Kp-index, and he suggested the existence of "M-regions" on the Sun that resulted in geomagnetic activity. These coronal holes were later confirmed by the Skylab mission. Finally he also helped initiate the International Geophysical Year, which took place in 1957/8.

The Bartels' Rotation Number of the Sun based on a regular 27-day cycle is named after him. It is similar to the Carrington rotation which is based on 27.2753 days.

Awards and honors
 Posthumously awarded the William Bowie Medal of the American Geophysical Union.
 The Julius Bartels Medal, of the European Geosciences Union Division on Solar-Terrestrial Sciences, was named in his honor.
 The crater Bartels on the Moon is named after him.
The Chree Medal and Prize in 1953
