Ashok Bose (September 23, 1922 - September 3, 1983) popularly known as Prakash Roy, was an Indian politician and leader of the Communist Party of India. He was a leading figure of the Tebhaga kissan movement of 1946 and a builder of Communist movement in Bengal and central India. Biography Early life Ashok (Prakash Roy) was born on September 23, 1922, in Bara Zugalia village in Nadia district, West Bengal. His father was Bisad Kumar Bose and mother Binapani Devi. His father was a jotedar, renting out paddy-growing land for share-cropping. His father died when Ashok was two years old. Thereafter he was looked after by his grandmother, Mrinalini Devi. Mrinalini was the niece of the famous revolutionary Bhupendranath Datta, youngest brother of Swami Vivekanand. Bhupendra Nath had attended congress of Communist International in 1921 in Moscow, and had met Lenin and other prominent leaders. Mrinalini Devi wanted to see Ashok grow with the mindset of Bhupendra Nath. Ashok was very intelligent, and Mrinalini paid special attention to him. She encouraged Ashok to mix-up and play with the boys of the poor families of share-croppers in the village. However, Ashok's father did not like Mrinalini Devi's approach. He took away Ashok from his village and got him admitted in New India English High School in Calcutta. Growing up as student leader Ashok stayed in a hostel in Calcutta and took part in cultural and social activities. When in Class IX, a call was given by national leaders in 1937 to observe ‘Demands day’ for the release of all political prisoners from Andaman Jail. Ashok led a successful strike of students and also organized picketing. The Assistant Head Master of the school called the picketers in his room and caned them thoroughly, claiing he was "preparing" them to bear the future punishments they would suffer at the hands of the British Police. It was in the course of this movement that Ashok came in contact with some Communist activists in that locality. His talent in organizational work was noted. They advised him to read books of Marx, Engels, Lenin and also on history of revolutions. Besides, they advised him to develop his contacts with the villagers. Ashok frequented his village and in this his grandmother Mrinalini Devi extended a helping hand. He passed matriculation exams with distinction, and was sent to a college for further studies. But finding Ashok moving towards a ‘dangerous’ path, his father cut short his studies and got him employed as a clerk in Post & Telegraph Department in Calcutta. Contact with TU movement Second World War broke out in 1939. Ashok, along with many others, was transferred to Patna Office of P&T department. In Patna he came in contact with the well- known leaders of postal employees, such as, Bhupen Ghosh and K.G. Bose. They had prior knowledge about Ashok and handed him responsibilities in trade union work among postal employees. The Great Bengal Famine broke out in 1943. Ashok gave up his postal service and went back to his home district to serve the famine- stricken people. Conflict with his father grew further. Ashok touched the feet of Mrinalini Devi, getting her blessings, vowed to become a whole timer and left his home. He contacted provincial leaders of the Communist Party, Bhowani Sen and Nityananda Chowdhury, for necessary guidance, who advised him to work in the Kisan Sabha. In Kisan and Tebhaga movement Famous Communist leaders like Moni Singh in Mymensingh district and Irabot Singh in Manipur were leading kisan struggles then. Ashok organized the kisans of Haringhata against forcible dispossession by the British authorities of over nine thousand acres of land. He led thousands of kisans, hoisting red flag on captured land. They tilled and harvested grain and distributed it. The displaced kisans got back their land. Ashok was also in the nearby district of 24 - Parganas. After some time, he was elected district secretary of CPI in 24-Parganas. In Bengal during 1940s, there was a great upsurge among the share-croppers against the landlords, demanding due share of paddy produce. In 1946, tens of thousands of share-croppers in more than 20 districts of Bengal demanded ‘two-thirds’ of their harvest (hence the name ‘tebhaga’ or three parts) instead of half they got till then. Ashok Bose was their effective leader. Tebhaga struggle was led by Kisan Sabha and Communist Party in 1946, spreading to districts of 24-Parganas, Nadia, Midnapur, Maldah, Bankura, Jalpaiguri, Mymensingh, Jessore and many more districts, involving some 60 lakhs of share-croppers including thousands of women. It was recognized internationally as one of the major peasant movements of the world. CPI general secretary P. C. Joshi played a crucial role in guiding it. The demand for Tebhaga was first raised in the Provincial Kisan Sabha Conference held at Jessore district (now in Bangladesh) in 1940. British government formed a Commission to recommend ways and means to increase revenue. They decided to collect more than a half of the paddy produce from the share-croppers. Kisan Sabha opposed, raising the demand of ‘Tebhaga’. 1946-47 were difficult years as communal riots engulfed Calcutta, 24- Paragans and other areas. Ashok Bose and his team mobilized their volunteers to prevent communal riots and conducted relief work. Despite communal situation, Tebhaga struggle continued for months together, and forced the Muslim League Ministry in West Bengal to propose a bill in 1947 named "Abolition of Landlordism and Tenant Rights Bill". There was wide- spread support from workers and creative left intellectuals for Tebhaga struggle. Famous singers like Salil Chowdhury and Hemanta Mukhopadhyay composed a number of popular songs in support. Movement spreads Kansari Halder, Ashok Bose and others were in the forefront of this historic struggle. About 2000 volunteers were mobilized by them, while landlords and jotedars sought help from government and police force. British authorities deployed heavy police force at different centers. Arrest warrants were issued in the name of Ashok Bose, Kansari Haldar and many others. They had to go under- ground. Ashok, however, kept up his contact with the base areas of Tebhaga movement, moving from place to place under the guise of names like ‘Bidyut’, ‘Nikunj’. There was terrible repression in Chandanpiri and nearby areas, particularly on women. Ashok Bose was the first accused in Kakdwip Conspiracy Case, the second one being the famous Kansari Haldar. Ashok went underground under the name of ‘Prakash Roy’. Proceedings were started against Gajen Mali, Manik Hajra and others, 26 in all, and were also sent underground. Once Ashok Bose was caught by police in Budakhali village in Kakdwip, put in shackles, his body bound with ropes and prepared to be shot. People including women surrounded and snatched him away from police. ‘Shishu Telangana’ was established in the Sundarbans in 1949–50 with Lalganj as the centre. "BTR Line" and its negative impact on Tebhaga BTR Line of 1948 forced Tebhaga struggle to resort to arms. Volunteers had to take up traditional arms to resist police, as they lacked modern weapons. Armed struggle took place in delta area of Bay of Bengal in Kakdwip, Mathurapur, Jainagar, Sandesh Khali, Hasnabad and other places, but failed, as reality was in conflict with the party line. Path of armed struggle led to havoc and destruction of the movement. Under PC Joshi, Tebhaga was following a successful mass line. Besides Ashok Bose and Kansari Haldar, Hemanta Ghosal, Rashbehari Ghosh, Manik Hazra, Abdul Razzak Khan and others were the leading figures. Police with modern arms beat down Tebhaga struggle with repeated attacks on volunteers. There were firings in Donga Jora and other places. 13 criminal cases were lodged by police against Ashok Bose, with government of West Bengal announcing a reward of Rs 50,000 to capture him, dead or alive. Down with T.B., Ashok was shifted by party to Rajnandgaon in Madhya Pradesh (now in Chhattisgarh). He was arrested for 6 months in 1948 and lodged in Alipur Central Jail. On release he went underground in the Sundarbans. Ashok Bose appears as "Prakash Roy" in Madhya Pradesh Ashok Bose came to Rajnandgaon along with his wife Madhavi Devi and son Amit of 2 years age, in June 1952. He was now ‘Prakash Roy’, so much so that even today, very few know his real name. They lived in a labour colony, running a study center for some 40 Bidi workers. Madhavi was a trained nurse. They together worked among Bidi workers’ families, organizing them under red flag. Workers’ families sustained Prakash's family. Prakash explained his wretched financial condition in a meeting of workers. They, particularly the women, decided to supply food grains, pulse, vegetable, oil etc. every week to his family. This went on for full four years. On occasions they even had to go hungry. Rajnandgaon being a big Bidi centre, thousands of workers worked under ‘ghar-khata’ system under merchants. Majority of workers were women. Prakash and Madhavi led many memorable struggles. Prakash Roy organized motor vehicle drivers and also BNC Mill workers under red flag. In an incident, he lay before a truck, whose driver apologized for keeping the engine running with the intention of running over him. Intellectuals like Professor Gajanand Madhav Muktibodh, freedom fighter Kanhaiya Lal Agrawal, Dr. Nandulal Chotiya, Ramesh Yagnik, Advocate Atal Bihari Dubey, journalist Sharad Kothari and others gathered around Prakash Roy. Party became a strong political force in Rajnandgaon. In Dalli-Rajhara Bhilai Steel Plant and its captive iron ore mines at Dalli-Rajhara, situated near Rajnandgaon, had come up by then. Gen- eral secretary of AITUC S.A. Dange sent Prakash Roy to organise mining workers under AITUC. Prakash's colleagues included Bajirao Shende, Arjun Shyamkar, Ganesh Ram Yadav, Mahadev Bomble, Nasim Alam Naqvi and a few others. Prakash Roy organized 15,000 manual contract workers. 3000 regular employees also got enrolled in the new union registered in 1960 with the name Samyukta Khadan Mazdur Sangh (SKMS). Branches of union were opened in coal, lime stone, dolomite mines and also at Bailadila and Bacheli iron ore mines in Bastar under NMDC. Senior TU trade union leaders like S. K. Sanyal (Nagpur), S. D. Mukherjee and P. K. Thakur (Jabalpur), Krishna Modi (Balaghat) and Sudhir Mukherjee (Raipur) helped work in Dalli - Rajhara and elsewhere. Prakash also met CR Bakshi, who as student had been arrested during Tebhaga and sentenced for one and a half years. Prakash Roy initiated labour co-operatives at Dalli-Rajhara, Nandini Lime Stone Mines and Hirri Dolomite Mines. Ten thousand local workers under contractors were regularized as BSP employees. All this while, Prakash Roy did not disclose his past background. On December 7, 1961, CPI delegation of SA Dange, Bhupesh Gupta, EMS, Ajoy Ghosh and Sohan Singh Bhakna met Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru with a memorandum demanding withdrawal of cases against Prakash Roy and others. Large number of prisoners were released in various states on August 15, 1962. Warrant against Ashok Bose alias Prakash Roy was withdrawn by West Bengal Government. CPI put up Prakash Roy as a candidate for parliamentary election from Rajnandgaon constituency. He polled more than 40 thousand votes. In CPI leadership Prakash Roy was elected to National Council of CPI in 1971 (Cochin, 9th congress), and also in the Tenth Congress, Vijayawada, 1975. When Indira Gandhi government attacked workers’ rights during emergency, Prakash Roy gave a call for strike by workers in BSP mines and in Bhilai Steel Plant. Prakash Roy worked hard to build party in Madhya Pradesh along with state secretary L.S. Khandkar, Homi Daji, Shakir Ali Khan, Balkrishna Gupta and P.K. Thakur. Prakash organized regional Kisan Sabha Conference at Rajnandgaon, and also regional TU school. Ill health and brain hemorrhage prevented Prakash Roy from active work, yet he continued to participate in mass activities. Revisiting Tebhaga areas Prakash, Madhavi and son Amit visited Kakdwip, Chandanpiri and other places in 1973. They were warmly welcomed by villagers in large numbers. Madhavi Roy died on December 3, 1975. Prakash Roy's health deteriorated further. Even then, he attended Bhatinda Congress of CPI in 1978 and actively took part in the debates. He also attended the 12th Party Congress at Benaras. Prakash Roy wrote a brief autobiography after his wife's death. He attended a meeting in September 1983 against a decision of state government to divide the forest division. Despite illness, Prakash Roy went to address the public meeting called by the political parties. While speaking, he suffered massive heart attack. He was rushed to hospital, and died next day on September 3, 1983, at the age of 61.

Paulo José Lisboa (1967 – February 4, 2022), known as The Chain Maniac (Portuguese: Maníaco da Corrente), was a Brazilian serial killer who was convicted of killing eleven prostitutes in São Paulo and Espírito Santo from 1980 to 2000, with the latter killings occurring while he was a fugitive. Convicted and sentenced to 9 years imprisonment for the latter crimes, he was released in 2017 and left on supervision until his death. Crimes Lisboa, then a pharmaceutical salesman, committed his first crimes in the city of São José do Rio Preto between the 1980s and 1990s, where he was convicted of killing five people and beating up six others, for which he was given 18 years imprisonment. After serving only a part of his sentence, he managed to escape from the Franco da Rocha Psychiatric Prison in 1998 and fled to Espírito Santo, from where he intended to move to Bahia. However, Lisboa fell in love with a local woman whom he later married and had two children with, eventually settling in the state. This did not deter him from committing crimes, and during this time, he is known to have committed six further murders and two attempted murders in the Greater Vitória region. His modus operandi was to arrange meetings with prostitutes, who were either young women or transvestites, whom he would assault as soon as they arrived on the scene using either a knife or latch, strangling his victims with the latter. However, as he usually used a chain to ultimately kill his victims, he became known by the pseudonym 'The Chain Maniac'. While little is publicly known about his victims' identities, two of them were identified as 15-year-old Aline Melo, stabbed 47 times on Christmas Day in 1987, as well as a transvestite named Paulo Constantino, who went by the name "Paulinha". Arrest, trial and sentencing After being on the run for 10 years, Lisboa was arrested in Vitória on September 16, 2008. He admitted full responsibility for the crimes, explaining how he killed his victims, claiming that he had picked on prostitutes because they were "easy targets." A psychiatric examination conducted on Lisboa concluded that he was a "social psychopath". Following his conviction in 2011, Justice Daniel Peçanha Moreira sentenced him to ten years imprisonment in a closed-regime prison. Lisboa served from 2008 to 2017, when he paroled under supervision. Death After his release from prison, Lisboa remarried and moved to Guarapari, where he avoided interacting with his neighbors. His decomposing corpse was found at the couple's home on February 4, 2022, by his wife, who had just returned home from visiting some relatives in Vila Velha. So far, coroners have been unable to establish a cause of death.

The telephone call between Hassan Rouhani and Barack Obama was a 15-minute telephone conversation that took place on September 27, 2013, during Hassan Rouhani's first visit to New York, at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City. This historic call received positive and negative reactions as it was the first telephone call since the two countries severed ties in 1979. Hundreds of international news agencies and newspapers headlined their news coverage by telephone calls from Barack Obama and Hassan Rouhani. Six years later, Rouhani re-defended the move, saying: Event description In the final hours of Friday, September 27, 2013, while Hassan Rouhani and the Iranian delegation participating in the 68th General Assembly of the United Nations were about to return to Iran from John F. Kennedy Airport, Hassan Rouhani for the first time in history of the Islamic Republic of Iran spoke directly to US President Barack Obama by telephone while sitting in a limousine heading to the airport, The phone call mostly emphasizing the political will of the two sides to resolve the Iranian nuclear issue quickly and setting the stage for resolving other issues and cooperating on regional issues. The news of this phone call quickly became the first news of the international media and it was referred to as a historical event. In the conversation, Rouhani ended the call by saying, "Have a Nice Day!" and Obama responded by saying "Thank you. Khodahafez (goodbye)." This phone call, because it was the first telephone conversation of the President of Iran with the President of the United States and was considered as the first verbal contact of senior officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran with senior US officials, was strongly reflected in the media inside and outside Iran. Who dialed? The Tehran Today newspaper wrote that Rouhani considered the talks to be held at the request of the American side. However, the American side also said that it had requested a dialogue from Iran. Hassan Rouhani says: There was some promises between our Minister of Foreign Affairs and the United States' Secretary of State about that on Friday, when I wanted to come Iran, Mr. Obama would call and have a brief phone conversation with us, which we finally encountered at the moment of departure, and they called our minister's cell phone. This happened when I wanted to leave the hotel and we talked on the phone for a few minutes. Rouhani and Obama's remarks Regarding the issues raised in this telephone conversation, the President of Iran said that the discussion I had with Obama was mainly the nuclear issue. I said that "this issue is not only the right of the Iranian people but also a part of the national pride of the Iranian". He continued: Regarding the P5 + 1, I said that "with the opportunity created by the Iranian nation, this opportunity should be used and expedited in this matter", so the President of the United States said: "I instruct the Secretary of State to expedite this matter;" Our main focus was to move faster on the nuclear issue. After the call, Barack Obama said on a television program: "Just now, I spoke on the phone with President Rouhani. Our conversation was about the current actions and efforts to reach an agreement on Iran's nuclear program. Hassan Rouhani said that in this regard, "I spoke with Mr. Obama on the phone, and this relationship between the two nations can be the beginning of a long way ahead. Of course, not all our problems with the West can be solved by a phone call or a meeting. From the very first letter that Mr. Obama wrote to me after the presidential election and congratulated me on the election, and other issues that he raised in the letter, and according to this phone call, it is quite clear that the viewpoint has changed. Obama told me on the phone that we have a lot of problems inside and you have a lot of problems inside Iran, so we have to think about how to overcome these problems." Hassan Rouhani stressed that Obama also said on the phone that "you both emphasized in your speech that you are not looking for nuclear weapons and that the Supreme Leader of Iran also said that the production of weapons is forbidden by Islamic law (fatwa), so the way is open to achieve results, but our nations should know that foreign policy issues are not a smooth path ahead. Rather, we have a difficult road ahead of us, and the problems of eight or ten years cannot be solved in ten days." Rouhani said about this phone call: "In my opinion, on the issue of Iran and the United States, we have a lot of problems, and I told Mr. Obama on this phone that there has been a very dark atmosphere between Iran and the United States for the past 35 years, and our nation were opposed to US actions on various occasions. It is not a problem that can be solved in the short term, and he replied that I also said that it can not be solved on one night and we need time. Iran's internal reactions Affirmative After Hassan Rouhani returned to Iran when he was in Mehrabad airport, some of his supporters demonstrated and chanted affirmative slogans. He was also greeted by some government officials at Mehrabad Airport. A group that went to greet Mr. Rouhani also sacrificed lamb for him and chanted slogans in support of the Iranian delegation. The greeters held purple placards stating that the president's trip to the United States was a success, chanting "Thank you Rouhani," "Greetings, Rouhani," and "Yes to you, not to war." Mohammad Javad Zarif, Foreign Minister of Iran: While emphasizing that the phone call was made by US officials, he wrote on his Facebook page on September 29, 2013, that the Americans called "five, six times" to prepare the ground for this phone conversation. Hamid Reza Tabatabai Naeini, Deputy Chairman of the Judiciary and Legal Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly: The action of the protesters is "disruption of national unity and a clear example of betrayal." Ahmad Reza Dastgheib, a member of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, stated that the President had made the "necessary arrangements" for talks with Mr. Obama. "There is no doubt that the White House has made the phone call," he said. Mohammad Taqi Rahbar, Friday prayer Imam of Isfahan: "Death to America is not a verse of the Quran that should always be recited. We treat the United States the same way we treated the Russians in those days and slogans are no longer necessary." He added: "These problems must be resolved with political smiles so that the United States also reduce its sanctions against the Iranian people." Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chairman of the National Security Committee of the Islamic Consultative Assembly: "If Mr. Rouhani accepted the proposal of the US President, it was because he would not tarnish the United States prestige anymore." Etemad newspaper wrote in an interview with Sadegh Zibakalam: "Today, no matter how much the supporters of enmity with the United States want to stop the relationship, they can not. It's like a damp wall. No matter how much they block it with plaster and cement, they still can not revive it. It is no longer worth saying death to America and burning the American flag by large sections of the educated and elite of the country." Ali Akbar Nategh-Nouri: "In the matter of the telephone conversation between the two presidents, it is not the case that the principles and values of the revolution have been violated or disrupted. However, this was a request from US side. Why do those who oppose this move, not point out that during the trip, the repeated requests of the US President to meet with Rouhani were rejected by Iran and the media wrote that this issue has humiliated Obama? Ali Larijani, Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly: In a joint meeting with Hassan Rouhani, he thanked him for his stances, speeches, and authoritative presence, as well as his meetings and talks during his trip to New York. Mohammad Ali Jafari, commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps: welcomed Rouhani positions in New York, calling them "appropriate and authoritative," but said the phone call "should have been postponed until after practical US action." Negative After Hassan Rouhani returned to Iran when he was in the Mehrabad airport, about 100 opponents of Mr. Rouhani's positions and negotiations who were member of the Student Basij gathered at the airport, protesting and chanting slogans against Rouhani. During the demonstration, one of the protesters threw a shoe at Mr. Rouhani's car. Kayhan newspaper: In the strongest reactions in this regard, Kayhan newspaper called the conversation between the presidents of the two countries "the most unfortunate" part of Mr. Rouhani's trip to New York. On September 29, 2013, the newspaper devoted its first headline to an article entitled "We gave cash points, we took credit promises," which strongly criticized some of Hassan Rouhani's positions in New York. Hossein Shariatmadari, managing editor of Kayhan Newspaper: In an editorial (September 29, 2013), he asked the members of the Government of Hassan Rouhani to explain "what did they give and what did they receive during their trip to New York and in their interaction with the United States and its allies?" emphasizing that "expecting an economic mutation from negotiations and relations with the United States is extremely naive", Shariatmadari wrote the United States, did not give "any concessions" in response to the "appeasement and concessions" offered by the Iranian delegation and "takes this appeasement and tolerance as Islamic Republic's compulsion and need." Elsewhere in the editorial, according to the US National Security Adviser, Susan Rice sayings about that the Iranian side had asked US officials to give Obama a phone call with Rouhani, Shariatmadari stated "If Mr. Rouhani requested the conversation, does not attributing it to the Americans contradict the slogan of the government of the truthful?" Hamid Rasaee, a conservative member of Islamic Consultative Assembly, said that the phone conversation was considered by foreign media to be "the surrender of Islamic Iran and the weakness and compulsion caused by the pressure of sanctions." He also said, "The events of the last minutes of your (Hassan Rouhani) trip revived the bitter memory of the Negotiations leading to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, while we hoped that given the recent statements of the revolutionary leadership, you would not forget what evil creature you are softening against. Mr. Rouhani, you really turn the win-lose situation of this trip in favor of Islamic Iran into a win-win situation for both sides at the last moment. The website of Rajanews, which is affiliated with the Front of Islamic Revolution Stability, echoed Hamid Rasaee's speeches, mocking Hassan Rouhani's remarks about pursuing a "win-win" game with the West over the nuclear issue, as well as using the phrase "Have a nice day" in English - which Mr. Rouhani is said to have uttered at the end of his conversation with Barack Obama. Islamic Associations of Independent Students of Iran: In a statement, it praised Mr. Rouhani for his "active diplomacy" and criticized the meeting between the Iranian and US foreign ministers at the P5 + 1 meeting and the telephone calls of the Iranian and US presidents. In a part of the statement of these students, referring to the recent statements of the Leader of the Islamic Republic about the permissibility of "heroic appeasement" in the field of diplomacy, it is stated: "Heroic flexibility and appeasement never means deviating from the principles and ideals." Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said the Americans wanted to compensate their humiliation with a telephone conversation that, if it had not happened, would then Iran's authority in the United Nations stay intact. Other opinions The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ali Khamenei, in a military ceremony on October 5, 2013, in his first speech after Hassan Rouhani's return from New York, emphasized: "We support the mobilization of government diplomacy, including the New York trip, because we trust and are optimistic about the serving government, but some of what happened during the New York trip was wrong, because we find the US government untrustworthy, arrogant, irrational and unfaithful. We trust our officials and we ask them to take firm steps carefully and with consideration from all sides, and not to forget the national interests." Referring to the Islamic regime's pessimism and distrust of the United States, Khamenei called the US government a government in the hands of the Zionists and added: "The US government is actually moving in the interests of the Zionists and extorting from the whole world and paying a ransom to the Zionist regime." Javan newspaper wrote: "Obama's attempt to inform the Zionist regime, or in other words to persuade Tel Aviv to contact Iran directly, was evident in a statement issued by the White House immediately after his telephone call. The US president said in a statement after talks with the Iranian president that his administration would work closely with Israel as it seeks to work with Iran. However, the Daily Beast reports that Congress opposes Obama's direct talks with Rouhani, the majority of whom are Republicans." Reactions outside Iran Abdullah Gül, President of Turkey, from a phone call from the new president of Iran; Hassan Rouhani and Barack Obama expressed satisfaction. He added: "I hope this contact will be a good start in the relations between the two countries." Abdullah Gül also said that he had always encouraged such talks. Hürriyet newspaper also called this phone conversation a historic event. The newspaper also described the phone call as the highest level of contact between the two countries since 1979 (the severance of US-Iranian relations). Khaleej Times website: This news site quoted Iranian media as saying that hundreds of Iranians celebrated Hassan Rouhani's return from New York with joy and happiness. The happiness was mostly due to Hassan Rouhani's historic phone call with Barack Obama. The website added that a small number of people shouted Death to America and threw eggs and shoes at the official car of the president who was leaving the Mehrabad airport. The Wall Street Journal: The Wall Street Journal newspaper wrote that the 15-minute telephone conversation between Rouhani and Obama, the first of its kind in more than 30 years, was solely about Iran's nuclear program. The New York Times: The New York Times said that Hassan Rouhani, by preferring phone calls to face-to-face meetings, avoided creating a politically problematic image of himself with Obama that would provoke extremist concerns in Iran. They established the first dialogue between Iran and the United States after 1979. Los Angeles Times: The Los Angeles Times wrote that after the phone conversation between Rouhani and Obama, both of them faced pressure and criticism in their country. The media added that Hassan Rouhani in Tehran was met with encouragement of the proponents and also opponents who threw eggs at him. In the United States, too, Congress reacted quietly and cautiously as a diplomatic response. Mercury News: The San Jose Mercury News wrote that conservatives in Iran have taken two approaches to the event, Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chairman of the House National Security and Foreign Policy Committee of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, saying the two presidents' phone call was a signal to Washington acknowledging Iran's power. But some more fanatical conservatives have described the United States as an unchangeable and unshakable enemy. Al-Quds Al-Arabi: The Jam News website quoted Al-Quds Al-Arabi as saying that Rouhani agreed to the phone call to protect Obama's reputation. Haaretz newspaper: Haaretz wrote that Obama briefed Israeli officials before the telephone conversation with Rouhani. CNN: Obama and Rouhani: Dialogue is better than war. The Guardian: Obama made historic contact with Rouhani, pointing to the lifting of sanctions. Reuters: Rouhani and Obama's historic call. Al Arabiya: For the first time in the last 34 years: The US president called his Iranian counterpart.

The Olkaria VI Geothermal Power Station, also known as the Olkaria VI Geothermal Power Plant, is a power station under construction in Kenya, with an electric capacity of 140 megawatts. The plant will be developed under a public private partnership (PPP) model, where the state-owned Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) will co-own the power station with a strategic partner. Location The power station would be located in the Olkaria area, in Hell's Gate National Park, in Nakuru County, approximately , by road, northwest of the city of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. Olkaria VI would sit adjacent to Olkaria II Geothermal Power Station. Overview The Olkaria VI power station is designed to generate 140 MW, to be sold directly to Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KenyaPower), for integration into the Kenyan grid. About from the site of Olkaria VI, lies a 220kV substation, where the output from this power station will be directed for evacuation. KenGen has drilled and tested steam holes and prepared the site where the power station will be built. When a strategic partner is identified and selected, an ad hoc special purpose vehicle (SPV) company will be formed, with KenGen owning 25 percent of the SPV. Developers In May 2020, KenGen concluded the first bidding round for the selection of the strategic partner. Four companies and one consortium were selected to proceed to the second round of bidding. The five entities are listed in the table below. Notes: The Engie/Toyota Consortium comprises (a) Engie Energy Services of the United Kingdom (b) Toyota Tsusho Corporation of Japan (c) Kyuden International Corporation and (d) DL Koisagat Tea Estate. Operations The plan calls for the strategic partner to own, finance, build, operate and maintain the power station for the duration of the PPP contract. At the end of that contract, ownership would revert to KenGen. During the contract period, KenGen would be responsible for supplying the steam required to run the power station.

It is a bushy shrub with hairy young stems, narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped leaves with the narrower end towards the base, and small panicles of hairy yellowish flowers. Description Pomaderris helianthemifolia is a bushy shrub that typically grows to a height of , its stems covered with greyish to rust-coloured, star-shaped hairs. The leaves are narrowly elliptic to lance-shaped or oblong, long and wide with stipules long at the base but that fall off as the leaf develops. The upper surface of the leaves glabrous and the lower surface is densely covered with soft, greyish, star-shaped hairs. The flowers are borne in panicles of about twenty to fifty and are yellowish. The sepals are long but fall of as the flowers mature and there are no petals. Taxonomy This species was first formally described in 1858 by Siegfried Reissek who gave it the name Trymalium helianthemifolium in Linnaea: ein Journal für die Botanik in ihrem ganzen Umfange, oder Beiträge zur Pflanzenkunde, from specimens collected by Ferdinand von Mueller in "Gipps Land". In 1951, Norman Arthur Wakefield changed the name to Pomaderris helianthemifolia in The Victorian Naturalist. In 1997, Neville Grant Walsh and F. Coates described two subspecies in the journal Muelleria, and the names and those of the autonym are accepted by the Australian Plant Census: Pomaderris helianthemifolia (Reissek) N.A.Wakef. subsp. helianthemifolia (the autonym); Pomaderris helianthemifolia subsp. hispida N.G.Walsh & Coates has leaves long with stiff bristles or hairs on the upper surface; Pomaderris helianthemifolia subsp. minor N.G.Walsh & Coates has leaves long with stiff bristles or hairs on the upper surface. Distribution and habitat This pomaderris usually grows on the banks of rocky streams. Subspecies helianthemifolia is only known from two restricted areas in Gippsland, in the Maffra-Briagolong area and near the Genoa River. Subspecies hispida is widespread, but not common in a few locations in New South Wales and in north-eastern Victoria and subspecies minor is found in north-eastern Victoria, but no longer occurs near Bendigo.

Hip hop culture in Malawi is relatively young. Notable rappers who were early on the scene include Criminal A, Bantu Clan, Real Elements, Dynamike, Dominant 1, Knight of the Round Table, and Wisdom Chitedze. The scene started to gain traction in the late 90s and expanded further in the early 2000s when cheap computers and recording gear became widely available to artists. The launch of Television Malawi in 1999 provided a platform for rappers to have their music videos beamed to a national audience. The music video to Wisdom Chitedze's song Tipewe was on regular rotation on the station in its early days. In the early to mid-2000s artists such as Nospa G, M Krazy, David Kalilani, and Gosple helped push the music further. A lot of Malawi's early hip hop music contained social commentary, religious, and introspective themes. By the late 2000s the scene had picked up further with artists such as Barry One, Basement, Mandela Mwanza aka Third Eye, Hyphen, Fredokiss, and Tay Grin gaining notoriety. Tay Grin's music video for the song Stand Up was featured considerably on Channel O. He was not the first Malawian rapper to get his song on that station; that accolade goes to the Real Elements. However, Tay Grin's got much more airplay. In 2009, Phyzix released his debut studio album The Lone Ranger LP which contained the hit singles Cholapitsa and Gamba. Around the same time, Christian rap started to gain popularity and that movement was spearheaded by Manyanda Nyasulu, DJ Kali, KBG, Double Zee, Liwu, C-Scripture, Asodzi, Erasto, Suffix, and Sintha. Some of the producers who helped pioneer the sound of Malawian hip hop include Dominant 1, Dynamike, Maj Beats, The Dare Devils, Kond1, Keith Justus Wako, Qabaniso Malewezi, Tapps, Dizzo, Sonye, Kas Mdoka and Rebel Musiq. DJs such as Dr Gwynz and Kenny Klips also helped push the music on radio. They hosted a show called The Hip Hop Drill which involved playing rap music and a phone-in rap competition whereby rappers called in and competed to spit the best bars. Other rappers of note that helped push the music forward include Gwamba, Martse, Genetix, L Planet, King's Rifles, Sage Poet, and Episodz. References Music Hip hop African music

Amar K. Mohanty is a material scientist and biomaterial engineer, academic and author. He is a Professor and Distinguished Research Chair in Sustainable Biomaterials at the Ontario Agriculture College and is the Director of the Bioproducts Discovery and Development Centre at the University of Guelph. Mohanty has received a lot of recognition for his work in the field of bioplastics, biocomposites and advanced biorefinery. He has authored over 800 publications, has been cited over 43,000 times, and has 25 patents awarded. He is also the author of 25 book chapters, and 5 edited books, entitled Natural Fibers, Biopolymers, and Biocomposites, Packaging Nanotechnology, Handbook of Polymernanocomposites. Processing, Performance and Application: Volume A: Layered Silicates, Biocomposites: Design and Mechanical Performance, and Fiber Technology for Fiber-Reinforced Composites. Mohanty is a Fellow of American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), Society of Plastics Engineers, Royal Society of Chemistry, and Royal Society of Canada. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of Sustainable Composites, Composites Part C -Open Access. Early Life and Education Mohanty was born in Odisha, India. He spent early life in Cuttack and Bubaneshwar, India. He studied at the Capital High School, Bhubaneswar. Mohanty studied at Utkal University, and earned his bachelor's degree with Distinction in Chemistry in 1978, a master's degree in Polymer Chemistry in 1980, and Doctoral degree in chemistry in 1987. Career Following his Doctoral degree, Mohanty held appointment as a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer in 1987 at Government Colleges affiliated with Berhampur and Utkal University, India. From 1998 till 1999, he held brief appointments as Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at Berlin Institute of Technology, and as Post-Doctoral Associate at Iowa State University. Following these appointments, he joined Michigan State University as a Visiting Research Associate in 2000, and was promoted to Visiting Associate Professor in 2001, and to associate professor in 2003. He then moved to Canada, and held his next appointment at the University of Guelph as a professor in the Department of Plant Agriculture and School of Engineering. Mohanty was Premier's Research Chair in Biomaterials & Transportation from 2008 till 2020, Research Leadership Chair from 2017 till 2020, and became OAC Distinguished Research Chair in Sustainable Biomaterials in 2020. Since 2007, he has also been serving as Director/Executive Committee Member of American Institute of Chemical Engineers at Forest Product Division. Research Mohanty has focused his research on engineering value-added uses of biomass wastes and industrial co-products from agro-food and biofuel industries. He has also worked extensively on circular economy, environmental sustainability, waste plastic valorization, biodegradable plastics as single-use plastic alternatives, biocarbon based composites and 3D printing of sustainable materials. Biocarbon Composites Mohanty was the first to demonstrate that biocarbon significantly improves barrier properties when used as a filler in composite materials. He demonstrated that biocarbon acts as an oxygen scavenger to improve oxygen barrier of biodegradable polymers and blends. Furthermore, he explored the impact of poly(propylene carbonate) polyol in the context of biobased epoxy interpenetrating network. Mohanty was among the pioneers to report the effectiveness of bicarbon as a reinforcing agent, filler, and colourant in thermoplastic composites. He explored several ways to increase the renewable content in plastic resins, developed high-quality biocarbon from a variety of non-food biomass sources, and also showed that the morphology and allotropy of renewable biocarbon can be manipulated for materials design. He was the first to use biocarbon in thermoplastic composites and demonstrate its high potential in industrial applications, to be used as a reinforcement in polymer composite materials and to substitute carbon black, mineral fillers like talc, and short glass fibre. His research regarding biocarbon-based plastic biocomposites is utilized by Ford Motor Company, Volkswagen, General Motors, and Tesla, while conducting their trials of automotive parts. Biocomposites In his studies regarding bio-based plastics and bio-based fillers, Mohanty designed biocomposites to utilize closed-loop strategies to improve sustainability through the value-added integration of agri-food residues. While using “waste” from reclaimed coffee bean skins with more expensive compostable plastic blends, he developed numerous commercial resins, including the world's first 100% compostable coffee pod certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute (BPI). His invention combines the advantages of biodegradable plastics, green chemistry, reactive extrusion, and process engineering, along with the integration of the industrial ‘waste’ product of the coffee roasting industry. Mohanty along with Misra also developed a “green floor” formulation, based on a plant derived plastic resin, poly(lactic acid) (PLA). His innovation eliminated plasticizers containing harmful phthalates.

J. R. R. Tolkien was both a philologist and an author of high fantasy. He had a private theory that the sound of words was directly connected to their meaning, and that certain sounds were inherently beautiful. Scholars believe he intentionally chose words and names in his constructed Middle-earth languages to create feelings such as of beauty, longing, and strangeness. Tolkien stated that he wrote his stories to provide a setting for his languages, rather than the other way around. Tolkien constructed languages for the Elves to sound pleasant, and the Black Speech of the evil land of Mordor to sound harsh; poetry suitable for various peoples of his invented world of Middle-earth; and many place-names, chosen to convey the nature of each region. The theory is individual, but it was in the context of literary and artistic movements such as Vorticism, and earlier nonsense verse, that stressed language and the sound of words, even when the words were apparently nonsense. Context Author As well as writing high fantasy, J. R. R. Tolkien was a professional philologist, a scholar of comparative and historical linguistics. He was especially familiar with Old English and related languages. He remarked to the poet and The New York Times book reviewer Harvey Breit that "I am a philologist and all my work is philological"; he explained to his American publisher Houghton Mifflin that this was meant to imply that his work was "all of a piece, and fundamentally linguistic [sic] in inspiration. ... The invention of languages is the foundation. The 'stories' were made rather to provide a world for the languages than the reverse. To me a name comes first and the story follows." Human sub-creation, in Tolkien's view, to some extent mirrors divine creation as thought and sound together bring into being a new world. Artistic and literary movements The Tolkien scholar Dimitra Fimi notes that around 1900 there were multiple artistic and literary movements that stressed language and the sound of words, and the possibility of conveying meaning even with words that were apparently nonsense. These included Italian Futurism, British Vorticism, and the Imagism of the poet Ezra Pound. Fimi further observes that in the late 19th century, nonsense poets such as Lewis Carroll with his Jabberwocky and Edward Lear sought to convey meaning using invented words. Tolkien's "linguistic heresy" An aesthetic pleasure The scholar of English literature Allan Turner writes that "the sound pattern of a language was the source of a special aesthetic pleasure" for Tolkien. The Tolkien scholar Tom Shippey notes that in The Fellowship of the Ring, the Sindarin poem A Elbereth Gilthoniel, is presented directly without translation: Shippey asks rhetorically what any reader could be expected to make of that. He answers his own question by stating that Tolkien had a private theory of sound and language. This was that the sound of words was directly connected to their meaning, and that certain sounds were inherently beautiful. He intentionally chose words and names in his constructed Middle-earth languages to create feelings such as of beauty, longing, and strangeness. Shippey gives as one example Tolkien's statement that he had used such names as Bree, Archet, Combe, and Chetwood for the small area, outside the Shire, where Hobbits and Men lived together. Tolkien selected them for their non-English elements so that they would sound "queer", with "a style that we should perhaps vaguely feel to be 'Celtic'". Shippey calls this "Tolkien's major linguistic heresy". It would work, he explains, if people could recognise different styles in language, somehow sense the depth of history in words, get some degree of meaning just from the sounds of words, and even judge some sound combinations beautiful. Tolkien, he writes, believed that "untranslated elvish would do a job that English could not". Shippey notes, too, that Tolkien is recorded as saying that "cellar door" sounded more beautiful than the word "beautiful"; the phrase had however been admired by others from at least 1903. An unconventional view Tolkien's point of view was a "heresy" because the usual structuralist view of language is that there is no connection between specific sounds and meanings. Thus "pig" denotes an animal in English but "pige" denotes a girl in Danish: the allocation of sounds to meanings in different languages is taken by linguists to be arbitrary, and it is just an accidental by-product that English people find the sound of "pig" to be hoglike. Tolkien was somewhat embarrassed by the subject of his linguistic aesthetics, as he was aware of the conventional view, due to Ferdinand de Saussure and strengthened by Noam Chomsky and his generative grammar school, that linguistic signs (such as words) were arbitrary, unrelated to their real-world referents (things, people, places). The Tolkien scholar Ross Smith notes that Tolkien was in fact not the only person who disagreed with the conventional view, "unassailable giants of linguistic theory and philosophy like [Otto] Jespersen and [Roman] Jakobson" among them. More recently, Sound symbolism has been demonstrated to be widespread in natural language. The bouba/kiki effect, for example, describes the cross-cultural association of sounds like "bouba" with roundness and "kiki" with sharpness. True names A specific form of direct association of word and meaning is the true name, the ancient belief that there is a name for a thing or a being that is congruent with it; knowledge of a true name might give one power over that thing or being. Tolkien hints at true names in a few places in his Middle-earth writings. Thus, the Ent or tree-giant Treebeard says in The Two Towers that "Real names tell you the story of the things they belong to in my language", while in The Hobbit, the Wizard Gandalf introduces himself with the statement "I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me". In the case of Tom Bombadil, an enigmatic character in The Fellowship of the Ring who always speaks in a singing metre and often sings, Turner comments that "the propositional content of language seems to have been absorbed into the music of the sounds alone". Further, Shippey notes, when Tom Bombadil names something, like the ponies that the Hobbits are riding, "the name sticks – the animals respond to nothing else for the rest of their lives". Analysis Linguistic geography In Turner's view, Tolkien's "linguistic heresy" explains why he believed that his use of different linguistic choices would allow his readers to feel, without understanding why, the distinct nature of each region of Middle-earth. Keatsian listening Tolkien allows his characters to listen and appreciate "in highly Keatsian style", enjoying the sound of language, as when the Hobbit Frodo Baggins, recently recovered from his near-fatal wound with the Nazgûl's Morgul-knife, sits dreamily in the safe Elvish haven of Rivendell: When the Hobbits meet Gildor and his Elves while walking through the Shire, they get the feeling, as Turner comments, that even though they do not speak Elvish, they "subliminally understand something of the meaning". In The Two Towers, while a party of the Fellowship of the Ring is crossing the grassy plains of Rohan, the immortal Elf Legolas hears Aragorn singing a song in a language he has never heard, and comments "That, I guess, is the language of the Rohirrim ... for it is like to this land itself, rich and rolling in part, and else hard and stern as the mountains. But I cannot guess what it means, save that it is laden with the sadness of Mortal Men". When Gandalf declaims the Rhyme of the Rings in the Black Speech of the evil land of Mordor at the Council of Elrond, his voice becomes "menacing, powerful, harsh as stone" and the Elves cover their ears. When the Dwarf Gimli sings of the Dwarf-King Durin, the gardener Hobbit Sam Gamgee says "I like that! I should like to learn it. In Moria, in Khazad-Dum!" Shippey remarks that Sam's response to the sound of language is "obviously ... a model one". Phonetic fitness of Tolkien's constructed languages The linguist Joanna Podhorodecka examines the lámatyáve, a Quenya term for "phonetic fitness", of Tolkien's constructed languages. She analyses them in terms of Ivan Fonágy's theory of symbolic vocal gestures that convey emotions. She notes that Tolkien's inspiration was "primarily linguistic"; and that he had invented the stories "to provide a world for the languages", which in turn were "agreeable to [his] personal aesthetic". She compares two samples of Elvish (one Sindarin, one Quenya) and one of Black Speech, tabulating the proportions of vowels and consonants. The Black Speech is 63% consonants, compared to the Elvish samples' 52% and 55%. Among other features, the sound /I:/ (like the "i" in "machine") is much rarer in Black Speech than in Elvish, while the sound /u/ (like the "u" in "brute") is much more common. She comments that in aggressive speech, consonants become longer and vowels shorter, so Black Speech sounds harsher. Further, Black Speech contains far more voiced plosives (/b, d, g/) than Elvish, making the sound of the language more violent. Podhorodecka concludes that Tolkien's constructed languages were certainly individual to him, but that their "linguistic patterns resulted from his keen sense of phonetic metaphor", so that the languages subtly contribute to the "aesthetic and axiological aspects of his mythology".

Benjamin Arsanis (; 1884–1957) was an Assyrian politician, writer, teacher and historian. Arsanis was, together with Freydun Atturaya and Baba Parhad, one of the co-founders of the first Assyrian political party, the Assyrian Socialist Party, and he served as the head of the party's central committee. Arsanis was also a prominent member, and in cases founder, of other Assyrian organizations, such as the Society of Assyrian Literary Culture which in the 1910s sought to increase enthusiasm for the Assyrian language and culture. Remembered by modern Assyrians as a respected patriot, writer and orator, Arsanis published several important works on language and history. Biography Arsanis was born in 1884 in the village of Digala in Urmia, Iran. Arsanis studied at a newly established Orthodox shool in Urmia from 1898 to 1910. After completing his studies there, he travelled to Russia, where he studied history at the Lazarev Institute of Oriental Languages. He later returned to Urmia and taught at his old school until it closed in 1918. On 10 May 1912, Arsanis founded the Society of Assyrian Literary Culture, with the purpose to "increase enthusiasm for the nation and to expand authorship in the spoken language". The society, with Arsanis as director, met weekly for discussion meetings. Per the society's 1912 bylaws, both men and women could join and members were free to leave whenever they wished to. Arsanis strongly supported efforts to develop printing houses for Assyrian literature. Inspired by the February Revolution in Russia, Arsanis in early 1917, together with the other Assyrian activists Freydun Atturaya and Baba Parhad, founded the Assyrian Socialist Party. The Assyrian Socialist Party, founded in Urmia, was the first ever Assyrian political party and prominently advocated for the creation of an independent Assyrian state in the Assyrian homeland, closely allied to the nascent Soviet Union. Originally operating under the full name Assyrian Socialist Party of the Transcaucasus, the Assyrian Socialist Party is today seen as the first step towards the many later Assyrian political organizations. Arsanis was chosen to be the head of the party's central committee. Later in 1917, the party established cells in various villages in Urmia and Salmas, as well as throughout the Transcaucasus (including Tbilisi and Yerevan) and reached more than two hundred full members. Members of various Assyrian organizations were repressed in the early Soviet Union on account of their nationalist organizing. Some were arrested, some were sent to labor camps and some, such as Atturaya, were killed. Despite this, Arsanis continued to be involved in various Assyrian movements, at times within Soviet borders. Between 1925 and 1938, Arsanis and David Ilyan were the chief editors of the Assyrian magazine Kukva d'Madinkha, published in Tbilisi. From 1952 to 1970, there was an increased Assyrian cultural output in Iran. The Iranian Assyrian community had two private schools (Behnam and Chouchon), its own magazine (Gilgamesh) and the newly founded Assyrian Youth Cultural Society. Arsanis, alongside other authors such as Nemrod Simono, Kourosh Benyamin, Pira Sarmas and William Sarmas, was an important figure in this movement and published several important works in the modern Assyrian language. Arsanis died in 1957. Legacy Arsanis is remembered by modern Assyrians as a respected patriot, orator and writer. An esteemed writer, particularly on language and history, many of Arsanis's works have been lost, though several also survive. In 2008, twelve of his books; Teaching Assyrian Language (two volumes), Assyrian Proverbs, The Fall of the Assyrian Empire, Assyrian Monument in China, Prophet Mohammed's Documents, Assyrian Accomplishments in Asia, The Tragedy of 2,000 Assyrian Maidens, Rescue of Iran, Assyrian History Relative to Kurds, Book of Riddles and A Short Story, were collected, edited and annotated in a single volume by author Youel A. Baaba. During the visit of Mar Dinkha IV, the Patriarch of the Assyrian Church of the East, to Russia in June–July 1982, the patriarch met with Guiwarguis and Marouna Arsanis, sons of Benjamin Arsanis, to discuss possible measures to be taken for the construction of an Assyrian church in Moscow.

The Palazzo Filangeri-Cutò is a Baroque-style aristocratic palace located on via Maqueda 26 in the ancient quarter of Albergheria of central Palermo, region of Sicily, Italy. Once the urban palace of a wealthy and prominent family, since the 19th-century the palace has been subdivided into numerous apartments and businesses, and in dire need of restoration. History The Filangeri family had been prominent in Sicily since the time of the Norman invasion. Alessandro I Filangieri e Bologna, born in 1664, had inherited the title of Baron of Miserendino, but upon marrying Giulia Platamone e Sisini, he had acquired the title of Prince of Cutò. Alessandro commissioned the large palace in the small town of Santa Margherita in Belice. His grandson, the 4th prince of Cutò, Alessandro II Filangieri e Gravina (1696-1761), commissioned this palace in Palermo. Construction lasted over 70 years and was not completed till 1760, the design is attributed to a priest, Giacomo Amato. The main internal staircase is attributed to Giovanni del Frago. The last Filangieri to own this palace was Giovanna Nicoletta Filangieri (1850-1891) 9th Princess of Cutò. She also inherited the palace in Santa Margherita. She married Lucio Mastrogiovanni Tasca, Count of Almerita (1842-1918), and had five children. The eldest, Beatrice Mastrogiovanni Tasca Filangeri, married the Prince of Lampedusa, and was the mother of the famous author, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. The Filangieri, however, had been closely allied with the Bourbon monarchy and lost prestige after their overthrow by Garibaldi in 1860. The palace was sold in the late 19th-century to the Baron Cirino di Nicosia, who subdivided the property into further owners. The large library once housed in the palace, and in 1838 was donated by Prince Nicolo to form part of the Biblioteca Comunale of Palermo. Alessandro was also reputed to have a prominent art collection, since dispersed. Description The main facade of the once large palace faces Via Maqueda with three similar portals, each consisting of a rounded arch flanked by two protruding large grey marble doric columns. The palace has numerous balconies supported by brackets and fronted by iron grill railings. The central arcade creates an arch (Arco de Cuto) over a small street/alleyway, via Chappara al Carmine, that leads to the Ballarò open market than runs behind the palace.

An ongoing financial crisis began in the Russian Federation in late February 2022, in the days after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent economic sanctions targeting the Russian banking sector, Vladimir Putin, and his government. Background Since 2014, Russia had been facing sanctions over its annexation of Crimea which hurt its economic growth. In 2020 to 2021, the COVID-19 recession and the 2020 Russia–Saudi Arabia oil price war also affected the Russian economy. Additional sanctions occurred in the lead-up to the invasion, and there was a stock crash merely from the military buildup. Impact Cost of food and crops Wheat prices surged to their highest prices since 2008 in response to the attack. Ukraine is the fourth-largest exporter of corn and wheat and the world's largest exporter of sunflower oil, with Russia and Ukraine together exporting 29% of the world's wheat supply and 75% of world sunflower oil exports. The benchmark Chicago Board of Trade March wheat futures contract reached its highest price since 2012 on 25 February, with the prices of corn and soybean also spiking. The American Bakers Association president warned that the price of anything made with grain would begin rising as all the grain markets are interrelated. The chief agricultural economist for Wells Fargo stated that Ukraine will likely be severely limited in their ability to plant crops in spring 2022 and lose an agricultural year, while an embargo on Russian crops would create more inflation of food prices. Recovering crop production capabilities may take years even after fighting has stopped. Surging wheat prices resulting from the conflict have strained countries such as Egypt, which are highly dependent upon Russian and Ukrainian wheat exports, and have provoked fears of social unrest. On 24 February, China announced that it would drop all restrictions on Russian wheat, in what the South China Morning Post called a potential "lifeline" for the Russian economy. Crude oil As a result of the invasion, prices for Brent oil briefly rose above $100 a barrel for the first time since 2014 before losing some of its gains. In total from 22 February when sanctions started to 28 February when sanctions on Russia's Central Bank were applied, the price of West Texas Intermediate and Brent rose by roughly $5/bbl. On 27 February, BP, one of the world's seven largest oil and gas companies and the single largest foreign investor in Russia, announced it was divesting from Rosneft. The Rosneft interest comprises about half of BP's oil and gas reserves and a third of its production. The divestment may cost the company up to $25 billion and analysts noted that it was unlikely that BP would be able to recover a fraction of this cost. The same day, the Government Pension Fund of Norway, the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, announced that it would divest itself from its Russian assets. The fund owned about 25 billion Norwegian krone ($2.83 billion) in Russian company shares and government bonds. International organizations and corporations Kristalina Georgieva, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund, warned that the conflict poses a substantial economic risk for the region and internationally, and added that the Fund could help other countries impacted by the conflict, complementary to a $2.2 billion loan package being prepared to assist Ukraine. David Malpass, the president of the World Bank Group, said that the conflict would have far-reaching economic and social effects and reported that the bank was preparing options for significant economic and fiscal support to Ukrainians and the region. Corporate boycotts and removals of service Main article 2022 boycott of Russia and Belarus UPS and FedEx announced that they would halt shipments to Russia and Ukraine. Disney announced it would pause theatrical releases in Russia. Netflix will not add 20 Russian "propaganda" channels to their service, despite a requirement to host them under Russian law. Fonterra, one of the world's largest dairy producers, suspended shipments of all its dairy products to Russia. Stock markets, banking sector and the ruble In Russia, the first round of economic sanctions in response to Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine had an immediate effect. The Russian stock market crashed, falling 39%, as measured by the RTS Index, on 24 February, the first day of the invasion, recovering over 26% in the following day; however, on 28 February, a Monday, the Moscow stock exchange closed for the day because of the "developing situation". The ruble fell to record lows as Russians rushed to exchange money. Moscow and St Petersburg Stock Exchanges were suspended. The Central Bank of Russia announced its first market interventions since the 2014 annexation of Crimea to stabilize the market. It also raised interest rates to 20% and banned foreigners from selling local securities. The sanctions put Russia's sovereign wealth fund at risk of disappearing. Long lines and empty ATMs have been reported in Russian cities. The second round of sanctions which saw various Russian banks removed from SWIFT and direct sanctions on the Russian Central Bank saw the value of the ruble fall 30% against the U.S. dollar, to as low as ₽119/$1 as of 28 February. The Russian central bank raised interest rates to 20% as a result, in an attempt to balance the sinking ruble, it temporarily shut down the Moscow Stock Exchange, mandated that all Russian companies sell 80% of foreign exchange reserves, and prohibited that foreigners liquidate assets in Russia. Also on 28 February, Mastercard Inc. blocked multiple Russian financial institutions from its payment network. On 1 March, VISA Inc. announced that it had blocked those on the sanction list and that they were "prepared to comply with additional sanctions that may be implemented". Binance, the worlds largest cryptocurrency exchange also announced that it would block Russian individuals who have been sanctioned but would not unilaterally freeze all Russian users accounts.

Shalash (Šalaš) was a Syrian goddess best known as the wife of Dagan, the head of the pantheon of the middle Euphrates area. She was already worshiped in Ebla and Tuttul in the third millennium BCE, and later her cult is attested in Mari as well. She was also introduced to the Mesopotamian and Hurrian pantheons. Both in ancient Mesopotamian texts and in modern scholarships a long-standing issue is the differentiation between Shalash and the similarly named Shala, wife of the weather god Ishkur/Adad in Mesopotamia. Name The etymology of the name Shalash is unknown. Based on the attestations in the Ebla texts, theories of Hurrian origin can be rejected. However, as noted by Alfonso Archi, there is no plausible Semitic etymology either, similar as in the case of other Syrian deities like Kubaba or Aštabi. Lluis Feliu proposes that it might have originated in an unknown substrate language. The spellings dsa-a-ša, dsa-a-sa and dša-la-ša are attested in documents from Ebla. In Old Babylonian Mari the name was commonly written logographically as dNIN.HUR.SAG.GA. It is also possible that texts from the same city mentioning Ninlil and Ninkugi refer to Shalash. In Yazılıkaya, the name is written in hieroglyphs as (DEUS)sa-lu-sa. The spelling Shalush is also known from Hurrian texts. In Emar the name of Dagan's wife was written as dNIN.KUR, presumably as an extension of writing his own name logographically as dKUR. It has been proposed that this deity can be identified with Shalash, and that the western scribes treated dNIN.KUR as a synonym of dNIN.HUR.SAG.GA based on similar meanings of the names. A goddess named Ninkur is also known from Mesopotamian god lists, though there she is instead one of the ancestors of Enlil. The god list An-Anum lists the Sumerian names Ninkusi ("lady of gold"), Ninudishara ("mistress who amazes the world") and Ninsuhzagina ("Lady, diadem of lapis lazuli") as synonymous with Shalash. Association with other deities Shalash was the wife of Dagan, and together they stood at the head of the pantheon of the middle Euphrates area in ancient Syria. No known text specifies if she was believed to have any ancestors. It is assumed that Adad was viewed as her son in Mari. Lluis Felieu additionally proposes that Hebat, the goddess of Halab (Aleppo) was a daughter of Shalash and Dagan. In the texts from Ebla, Shalash is also associated with Wada'an(u), a god distinct from Dagan, worshiped in Gar(r)amu rather than Tuttul. Alfonso Archi proposes that they were regarded as consorts. It is assumed that his name had origin in a Semitic language. Unlike Dagan, Wada'an is not attested in any later sources. In Hurrian tradition, Shalash was regarded as the wife of Kumarbi due to the syncretism between him and Dagan. The Mesopotamian god list An-Anum equates Shala with Ninlil, and her husband with Enlil. Shalash and Shala In modern scholarship, Shalash is sometimes confused with Shala, a Mesopotamian goddess regarded as the wife of Adad. According to Daniel Schwemer, while a degree of confusion between the two goddesses is also present in some ancient sources, it is largely limited to scholarly Mesopotamian texts, and no older than the fourteenth century BCE. According to Lluis Feliu, most evidence for it comes from the first millennium BCE. In the god list An-Anum, Shalash is listed as one of the alternate names of Shala. However, it also separately equates Shalash (but not Shala) with Ninlil. In a late explanatory text, Ninkusi/Shalash is addressed as "Shala of the western steppe." In a single copy of a Maqlû ritual from Assur, Shala occurs in place of Shalash, present in other known copies of the same text. Lluis Felieu rejects the possibility that the two were originally the same, and especially that the confusion between them was caused by Dagan being a weather god himself and thus analogous to Adad. He also notes that Shala is well attested in art as a goddess associated with the weather, while the character of Shalash, based on parallels with the wives of heads of other pantheons of ancient Near East (for example Ninlil, wife of Enlil and Athirat, wife of El), would be unlikely to resemble that of the wife of the Mesopotamian weather god. Additionally, the spelling of the name of the goddess paired with Adad in devotional inscriptions is consistent between various time periods and languages, and never ends with a sibilant. There is very little evidence for confusion of the two goddesses in Hurrian and Hittite sources. Daniel Schwemer considers a treaty of king Shattiwaza to be one example. Lluis Felieu proposes that for Hurrians and Hittites the source of confusion might have been the fact the final -š in the name of Shalash name could be interpreted as a case ending in their languages, but he also remarks that the only possible instances might also represent simple scribal mistakes. Worship The earliest attestations of Shalash come from Ebla from the third millennium BCE. There is no indication she was commonly worshiped in that period, however. She was associated with the god Wada'an(u) worshiped in Gar(r)amu, a city in the Eblaite territory. In the documents of the royal vizier Ibrium there is also evidence for an association between dsa-a-ša (Shalash) and DBE du-du-luki, "lord of Tuttul," a title of Dagan. A statue of Shalash was apparently an object of cult in Tuttul. In later periods the cult of Shalash is well attested in Tuttul, and Alfonso Archi goes as far as proposing that the view that she was the wife of Dagan originated in this city. However, there is presently no evidence that she was worshiped in the other cult center of her husband, Terqa. In Halab Shalash was worshiped alongside Dagan and Hebat in the pagrā'um ritual, part of a mourning ceremony. Both the worship of Shalash and her association with Dagan are well attested in Old Babylonian Mari. In earlier periods she already had a temple in this city, at one point rebuilt by Nûr-Mêr. Kings closely linked to the worship of Shalash (dNIN.HUR.SAG.GA) and Dagan include Yaggid-Lim, Yahdun-Lim and Zimri-Lim. Shalash was also worshiped by Hurrians living in the city. She appears in a number of theophoric names both from Mari itself and from the nearby Chagar Bazar, for example Shalash-tappi ("Shalash is my partner") and Shalash-turiya ("Shalash" is my refuge). In Mesopotamia Shalash appears with Dagan on seals from the Isin-Larsa period. In Hurrian sources she is listed in kaluti (offering lists) of the circle of Hebat, in some documents immediately after this goddess herself, in others between Aya and Adamma. She is also known from the kaluti of Shaushka. While in the former she appears with Kumarbi, he is absent from the latter. As early as in the Old Babylonian period Hurrians referred to Shalash as "Pidenhi." This epithet was derived from Piden (also spelled Bitin), a settlement mentioned in the texts from Alalakh, which was a cult center of this goddess. On the reliefs from the Yazılıkaya sanctuary, Shalash is represented between Nabarbi and Damkina (figure number 52).

Narchat () was a Moksha princess, ruler of the Murunza kingdom in Mokshaland, Middle Volga. She was the daughter and successor of king Puresh and sister of Atämaz. She led the uprising against Mongols in 1242 and was slain in Sernya battle in 1242.

Ethnographist Vladimir Aunovsky wrote that he encountered coins with Narchatka portrait in traditional Moksha woman's headdress and they say: "This is our queen". These coins are called mordovkas in slang, or silver coins type B as they are described by Bogdan Zaikovsky with inscription in Moksha Cyrillic ( 'goes only for half gold [coin]') and might be dated as 13th century. Triangle coins, probabaly pre-Mongolian mordovkas «of silver and copper, 22x23 mm size, with a depiction of a woman in a headdress» are described by Vyacheslav Zavaryukhin as he specifes they should be referred to as Mukhsha coinage according to the Christian Frähn's list. Mongol Invasion In September 1237 the Mongols invaded kingdom Murunza (Moxel 'Mokshaland' in Latin sources). They seized the capital Noronshasht and killed all the city dwellers. Narchat's father and brother together with Murunza army joined the Mongol hordes on their way to Europe. As soon as she found out her father, brother and many Moksha warriors were killed in Germany she attacked the Mongol convoys passing Mokshaland. On their way from Europe, Mongols returned to Murunza and seized Sernya. The city was burnt down, all the defenders were killed. Princess Narchat with a small group of warriors broke out of the burning fortress but Mongols chased her. Her men were slain and she jumped into the ice-hole in river Moksha and drowned together with her horse.

Musselkanaal (also: Stads-Musselkanaal; Gronings: Muzzelknoal) is a town in the Dutch province of Groningen. It is located in the municipality of Stadskanaal. It was established by the city of Groningen in the 1840s to exploit the peat. It used to be part of the municipality of Onstwedde, but was merged into Stadskanaal in 1968. History The Bourtange moor was located in the south-east of Groningen. It was a raised bog with few inhabitants. Around 1600, corporations started to exploit the peat. In 1635, the city of Groningen took control, and established the , as a colony. The colony had advanced to Stadskanaal where it ended due to a border conflict with the province of Drenthe. In 1615, the border had been defined by the Semslinie, and the village and monastery of Ter Apel was assigned to Drenthe. In 1817, the line was modified with the so-called Koningsraai which assigned Ter Apel to Groningen. In 1819, Groningen started extending the in a south-eastern direction close to the provincial border. The canal was initially called Stads-Musselkanaal and contains two bends due to the Koningsraai. In 1850, the canal was renamed . The village was named after the canal. Musselkanaal is a linear settlement, and contains five side-canals along which houses were built. There is a large park and sports ground in the south of the town. The Horstenerbos, a forest area, is located on the northern side. The peat extraction resulted in an immigration from neighbouring Germany. Many of the immigrants were Catholics, and in 1843, a Catholic church was built in Zandberg. In 1903, a parish was established in Musselkanaal. It used to have a railway line and trainstation. In 1955, the line closed for passengers, and for goods in 1990. In 1992, the section Veendam–Stadskanaal–Musselkanaal was bought by which operates a museum line with steamtrains. The town used to be part of the municipality of Onstwedde, but was merged into Stadskanaal in 1968.

This is an incomplete list of Munchausen by proxy cases. Also known as Factitious disorder imposed on another, Munchausen by proxy is a condition in which a caregiver creates the appearance of health problems in another person, typically their own child. This may include injuring the proxy or altering test samples. The caregiver then presents the proxy as being sick or injured. Permanent injury or death of the proxy may occur as a result of the disorder. Although the caregiver typically does not benefit from their own behaviour, there are notable cases where the caregiver defrauds charities, insurance companies or local friends and family under the guise of using this for the aid of the proxy. This list is not exhaustive and may not reflect all cases. Notable victims Jennifer Bush: used in a large-scale fraud involving political elites who saw the girl's case as an example of the need for medical reform; mother Kathy Bush was later discovered to have caused Jennifer's symptoms in a case of Munchausen by proxy. Olivia Gant: killed by the removal of her feeding tubes after years of medical abuse by her mother, Kelly Renee Turner-Gant; Gant was convicted in 2022. Julie Gregory: childhood victim of her mother's Munchausen by proxy, which she survived and later documented in her memoir, Sickened: The Memoir of a Munchausen by Proxy Childhood Hannah Milbrandt: girl who was convinced that she suffered from terminal cancer by her parents in a situation of Munchausen by proxy, using community donations in a widescale act of fraud. This is one of the first contested Munchausen by proxy cases, causing a debate about whether it was a situation of true Munchausen, or just medical fraud. Garnett Spears: killed due to brain swelling induced by repeated salt poisoning by mother Lacey Spears, who was later convicted of murder. Notable perpetrators Beverley Allitt: British serial killer with Munchausen by proxy, who purposely sickened and killed a number of minor children. Dee Dee Blanchard: Dee Dee, a Hurricane Katrina survivor, faked multiple chronic illnesses of her daughter, Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, both for sympathy and charitable benefits. Her abuse of Gypsy-Rose led to the girl eventually aiding a secret boyfriend in the murder of Dee Dee, after which the abuse was finally discovered. Gypsy-Rose's experience has been dramatized in movies and TV shows. Wendi Michelle Scott: mother charged with child abuse after purposely sickening her four-year-old daughter. Fictional examples Edward "Eddie" Kaspbrak from the Stephen King novel It developed hypochondriac behaviours after a childhood living with his single mother in a situation of Munchausen by proxy. Mandy Phillips from Fragile: British little girl with osteogenesis imperfecta, a condition purposely worsened by obsessed nurse Charlotte when she notices the girl's bones beginning to heal. Esme Stoller from Love You to Death: a fictional cosplay fan and victim of her mother's Munchausen by proxy, told that she has cancer and developmental delays; Esme is loosely based on real-life victim Gypsy-Rose Blanchard.

Nanushi (Japanese: 名主) was a village official in the Edo period. They were village headmen, administering a village (mura) under a district magistrate (gun-dai), the daikan of a district governor (gunji). Their duties included tax collection and serving as the most local administrator of a rural village in direct contact with the villagers. The term nanushi was used in Kantō, while a village head was called shōya (庄屋) in Kansai and kimoiri (肝煎) in Tōhoku and Hokuriku. Overview The duties of nanushi included tax collection, general village administration, management of public natural resources (such as mountain, field, river and ocean) of the village called iriai, as well as negotiating with the territorial lord as the representative of the villagers. The post was typically monopolized by one or more powerful peasant families through hereditary succession, though nominally appointed by the territorial lord who paid salary to the nanushi. The post was sometimes sold to the highest bidder, but was typically only given to a qualified person. In castle towns (jōkamachi), there were town heads called machi-nanushi. In contrast to the nanushi of a village who served under a district magistrate (gun-dai), the machi-nanushi served under a town magistrate (machi-bugyō) or a ward head (machidoshiyori). A machi-nanushi was a townsman (chōnin). History Both the terms nanushi and shōya, meaning a village head, derive from medieval terms. In the Middle Ages, nanushi (名主) was read as myōshu and referred to feudal lords of territorial fields (myōden) who were divided into petty lords (shōmyō) and magnates (daimyō), and shōya (庄屋) referred to the manor building of a manorial estate. In the Edo period, a new system of village administration was established, with three types of village officials appointed in each village: nanushi, kumigashira (組頭), and hyakushōdai (百姓代). For each village there was one nanushi, a number of kumigashira, and one or more hyakushōdai. While the nanushi was the village head, the kumigashira were his advisors or assistants, and the hyakushōdai was the representative of village peasants who surveyed the work of village administrators. These offices were generally established between 1688 and 1704. See also Daimyo Bugyō Gōzoku References Officials of the Tokugawa shogunate Government of feudal Japan
