The Self-Government of Tbilisi ( or თბილისის მთავრობა) is organized under the Constitution of Georgia and Local Self-Government Code of Georgia and provides for a mayor-council system. The mayor is elected to a four-year term and is responsible for the administration of city government. The Tbilisi City Assembly is a unicameral body consisting of 50 members, selected through a mixed electoral system, normally for four-year terms. 25 of them are elected from a local districts of the city. The remaining 25 members are chosen by political parties and are apportioned according to their support citywide. Tbilisi self-government went through a difficult and interesting process before its formation. Tbilisi, as the political and cultural center of Georgia, has been in the center of multifaceted attention for centuries. In the Middle Ages, the ruler of Tbilisi - Mourav, was personally appointed by the king, which also indicated the uniqueness of his political status. The capital was passing from hand to hand due to the invasion of many enemies in Georgia. During the rule of the Russian Empire, Tiflis was the central city of the Caucasus, where the residence of the viceroy of the Caucasus was also located. Tiflis was ruled by city heads in 19th century Georgia. Tbilisi had a special status during the Soviet period. After the restoration of independence in 1991, the Law of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Georgia "On the Capital of Georgia" entered into force. With this law, the territorial body became the local body of state power, and the city hall and the prefecture became the governing body. The latter was abolished by order of January 4, 1992, and after the Civil War, power was transferred to the temporary special representatives of the Military Council of the Republic of Georgia. On December 19, 1992, the Parliament of Georgia approved a regulation, according to which the City Council of the City Hall was instructed to exercise its powers before the elections of the local representative body of Tbilisi. In 1998, the Parliament of Georgia adopted a new law "On the Capital of Georgia - Tbilisi", according to which the self-government in Tbilisi is exercised by a representative body - Tbilisi City Assembly, and the executive body - Tbilisi City Hall.

Ib Kamara, also known as I.B., IB, or Ibrahim Kamara (b.1990) is a Sierra Leone-born, London based fashion journalist, stylist and creative director who, in January 2021, was named editor of Dazed magazine. Early life and education Born Ibrahim Kamara in Sierra Leone in 1990, Kamara and his parents took refuge with relatives in Gambia after civil war broke out, before settling in London when Kamara was sixteen years old. Kamara attributes his turbulent early years and growing up watching world affairs develop via CNN and BBC news programmes with inspiring his focus on current affairs. Before coming to London, he spent three years studying sciences with the intention of becoming a doctor and pleasing his parents, but was unhappy doing so, and decided to pursue fashion as a career option. After enrolling on an art & design course at Westminster Kingsway College, Kamara studied fashion communication at Central Saint Martins. Kamara has dyslexia which he regularly acknowledges in interviews. Career Fashion Kamara's approach is based upon gender identity, fluidity and exploration, queerness and also upon Blackness and African identity and beauty. He attributes his early studies of science with helping him develop his focus and attention to detail. While he originally thought he might become a designer, Kamara became an assistant to the stylist Barry Kamen which established his career as a stylist. His inspirations include the composer Hans Zimmer, the film director Quentin Tarantino and the American fashion journalist Diana Vreeland, who Kamara admires for their ability to create instantly identifiable worlds. Kamara was first noticed in 2016 when he curated an exhibition in London titled "2026" which focused upon Black African masculinity. The models, recruited off the street of Soweto, dressed in outfits made using second-hand clothing, and photographed by Kristin-Lee Moolman, helped Kamara address and challenge conventional ideas of race, gender and sexuality in fashion while also aiming to suggest what menswear would look like a decade later. The exhibition was shown at Somerset House, which led to him being introduced by Jamie Morgan to Robbie Spencer of Dazed who gave Kamara his first fashion editorial. As a stylist, Kamara was popular with the late Virgil Abloh of Louis Vuitton menswear and Off-White, and also styled catwalks and advertising for Riccardo Tisci of Burberry and Erdem. Other clients include Stella McCartney, Dior, Kenneth Ize and Lorenzo Serafini. Comme des Garçons invited him to design hats for their show, and H&M signed him up to direct their first circularly-designed (zero-waste) collection. He worked with Rihanna, both for her label Fenty, and as her personal stylist when she was featured on the cover of Dazed. Abloh described Kamara as a prime example of how "diversity can bring out the best of the fashion industry". For his work as a stylist, Kamara was awarded the Isabella Blow Award by the British Fashion Council on 29 November 2021. In 2021, Iain R. Webb was asked by the Fashion Museum, Bath to choose garments representing 2020 for their Dress of the Year collection. Among the outfits he chose to represent 2020 was an unique dress called "A Dress of Hope", designed by Dazed'''s art director, Gareth Wrighton and styled by Kamara out of vintage table-linens and doilies collected by Webb. Journalism Kamara worked as a senior editor-at-large for i-D magazine from 2019 onwards, and has also worked for British Vogue, Vogue Italia, System, and W. In January 2021 he became editor in chief for Dazed. His first issue of Dazed celebrated the National Health Service and people working together for change, and Kamara's aim is for the magazine to be globally relevant to readers from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures. When he received the Isabella Blow award in 2021, he said he was proud to be a beneficiary of the WWD awards' new focus on individual change-makers rather than companies and brands. As part of his approach to running Dazed, Kamara tries to secure contributors from all around the world, especially from underrepresented fashion centres such as those in Africa and the Middle East. In addition to having their collaborative design chosen as a look for 2020, Kamara and Wrighton were the journalists chosen by the Fashion Museum, Bath to select the Dress of the Year for 2021. They chose the Armani wrap dress worn by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex for her and her husband's interview with Oprah Winfrey. Kamara and Wrighton argued that because Oprah with Meghan and Harry'' became an "iconic" and "definitive anti-establishment moment" that would endure in the British collective memory, it made sense to consider the dress worn by the pregnant Duchess as part of this story.

2 Samuel 20 is the twentieth chapter of the Second Book of Samuel in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible or the second part of Books of Samuel in the Hebrew Bible. According to Jewish tradition the book was attributed to the prophet Samuel, with additions by the prophets Gad and Nathan, but modern scholars view it as a composition of a number of independent texts of various ages from c. 630–540 BCE. This chapter contains the account of David's reign in Jerusalem. This is within a section comprising 2 Samuel 9–20 and continued to 1 Kings 1–2 which deal with the power struggles among David's sons to succeed David's throne until 'the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon' (1 Kings 2:46). Text This chapter was originally written in the Hebrew language. It is divided into 26 verses. Textual witnesses Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Codex Cairensis (895), Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008). Fragments containing parts of this chapter in Hebrew were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls including 1Q7 (1QSam; 50 BCE) with extant verses 6–10 and 4Q51 (4QSam; 100 ‑ 50 BCE) with extant verses 1–2, 4, 9–14, 19, 21–25. Extant ancient manuscripts of a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint (originally was made in the last few centuries BCE) include Codex Vaticanus (B; B; 4th century) and Codex Alexandrinus (A; A; 5th century). Old Testament references : Analysis Verses 1–3 of this chapter conclude the account of Absalom's rebellion with David safely back in his residence in Jerusalem: Rebellion of Sheba (20:1–22) The discontent of the northern tribes recorded at the end of the previous chapter led to another rebellion, this time under Sheba, 'the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite', and a representative of the Saulide camp (cf. Bechorath in 1 Samuel 9:1). Although verse 2 suggests that 'all Israel' (the tribes other than Judah) left David and followed Sheba, verse 14 shows that only the Bichrites were the active rebels, but the significance of this group must not be overlooked. David perceived in verse 6 that this dissent was potentially more harmful than Absalom's rebellion, because it endangered the structure of the kingdom. Significantly Sheba's rallying cry (verse 1) was repeated when the kingdom of Israel was really divided after the death of Solomon (1 Kings 12:16). Once David had settled in Jerusalem and made arrangements for his ten concubines, whom he left behind (verse 3), he turned his focus to the dissension. The newly appointed commander, Amasa (2 Samuel 19:13), was given three days to rally a force, but did not do as requested. Abishai was immediately put in charge of the army, but Joab who still had 'men' under his command (verse 7) took the lead to pursue Sheba. When Amasa met them at Gibeon, Joab pretended to kiss Amasa by pulling his beard to kiss him, but used a hidden short sword in his girdle to kill Amasa. Now Joab unquestionably became the leader of the army (his brother Abishai was no longer mentioned after verse 10) and the pursuit reached Abel of Beth-maacah in the north, near Dan, where Sheba went into. During the siege a 'wise woman' spoke to Joab from the rampart, offering a plan to save Abel-beth-maachah, a city which had a reputation for wisdom (verse 18) and considered a 'mother city' in Israel (verse 19), by beheading Sheba and throwing his severed head to Joab. With this, the rebellion ended, all people went home to their own cities as Joab returned to Jerusalem to report to David. There are obvious links between the appearance of the wise woman of Abel and that of Tekoa in 2 Samuel 14: Both women spoke to Joab the 'heritage of the LORD' became an issue in both (verse 19; cf. 2 Samuel 14:16). Verse 8 Then the king arose and took his seat in the gate. And the people were all told, "Behold, the king is sitting in the gate." And all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his own home. "Israel": comparing to 2 Samuel 18:16–17 this may refer to the supporters of Absalom (cf. 2 Samuel 18:6–7). "Every man to his own home": Hebrew: “each to his tent.” David's court officials (20:23–26) The chapter concludes with another list of David's court officials not exactly identical to the previous list in 2 Samuel 8:15-18. The comparison is as follows: Joab remained the established commander of the army, and Benaiah remained in charge of the Cherethites and Pelethites. Adoram (written as "Adoniram" in 1 Kings 4:6), not mentioned in the previous list, was in charge of forced labor, which was established in the latter part of David's reign. All the other names are identical with those in the previous list, except Ira, who replaces David's sons at 2 Samuel 8:18 and was called 'the Jairite', probably denoting his origin from the village of Jair (Numbers 32:41; Deuteronomy 3:14).

Sir Henry ToRobert (1942–2018) was a Papua New Guinean civil servant who was the first governor of the Bank of Papua New Guinea. He also played a major role in developing the Credit Corporation (PNG) Ltd and was president of the Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee for 30 years. Early life and education Henry ToRobert, an ethnic Tolai, was born in the village of Romale in what is now the East New Britain Province of Papua New Guinea (PNG), on 22 October 1942. This was at a time during World War II when Japanese forces had just captured the area. A bright child, he went to Vuvu Secondary school on the Gazelle Peninsula at the age of ten and at the age of 14 was awarded a full scholarship by the Australian government to attend St. Brendan's College, Yeppoon in Queensland. His fellow student there was John Momis, who would become President of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville in PNG. After graduating from St. Brendan's, he went to the Australian School of Pacific Administration (ASOPA) in Sydney with the intention of training as a teacher. However, two weeks after arriving there he learnt that he had received a full scholarship from the Reserve Bank of Australia to study at the University of Sydney. He graduated with a degree in economics, being the first Papua New Guinean to obtain a degree in that subject and only the second to receive a degree from an Australian university. Career In 1967, ToRobert returned to what was, at the time, the Territory of Papua and New Guinea, and started work in Port Moresby for the Reserve Bank of Australia. In 1973, just a month before Papua New Guinea became self-governing, he became the Governor of the Bank of Papua New Guinea, a position he would hold until 1993. On 16 September 1975, PNG became independent. From 19 May 1975, the new currency, the Kina, was introduced. This circulated along with the Australian dollar until 31 December 1975, when the latter ceased to be legal tender. ToRobert was responsible for overseeing the transfer. He paid particular attention to ensuring that all coins had designs that illustrated an animal unique to PNG, i.e., a turtle, cuscus, cassowary and crocodile. The one-kina coin has a hole in the middle, inspired by the shell that was often used for trading in the country at the time. After leaving the Bank of PNG in 1993, ToRobert became the chair of Credit Corporation (PNG) Ltd, building it up to be one of PNG's most-successful companies, before resigning in 2007 to compete unsuccessfully in the national elections as a candidate of the New Generation Party for Kokopo in East New Britain. He became a trustee of the Papua New Guinea Institute of National Affairs, a private-sector-funded think-tank, chair of the Institute of Applied Social and Economic Research, now known as the Papua New Guinea National Research Institute, and chair of the management board of the PNG Bankers' College. He was managing director of PNG's Privatization Commission and chair of the Gazelle Restoration Authority, which was established in 1995 after the 1994 volcanic eruption of Mount Tavurvur. A keen rugby player and golfer, ToRobert was president of the Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee from 1980 to 2000 and from 2003 to 2012. Among other sporting roles, he was president of the PNG Softball Association. Awards and honours ToRobert was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) in the 1981 Birthday Honours at the age of 39. In 2015 Papua New Guinea made him a Grand Companion of the Order of Logohu (GCL), the highest PNG award, which allowed him to be referred to as "Chief". In 1991, the Bank of Papua New Guinea opened a new headquarters, and the building was named "ToRobert Haus". In 2013, his image appeared on a Kina 6.00 stamp, as one several stamps produced to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Bank. Another of the stamps included a picture of ToRobert Haus. Death ToRobert died on 18 October 2018 and was buried in his village. He and his wife, Lady Janet ToRobert, had five children.

Francesco Landi was a Two Sicilian Brigadier General who was notable for being the main commander at the Battle of Calatafimi against Garibaldi's Red Shirts. Biography Francesco was the son of Antonio Landi who was an officer of the army of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and Raimonda Buonocore, daughter of an officer of the Army of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, he had 6 brothers, of whom four (Donato, Luigi, Giovanni and Nicola) will follow a military career, while Giuseppe would practice a legal career and Gennaro would take his vows. Francesco Landi was admitted at 14 as a pupil of the Nunziatella Military School at the beginning of the French decade. Landi and his pupils were first assigned to a regiment as volunteers, to then become graduates of the troops, non-commissioned officers and finally second-lieutenants. Landi was first assigned as a volunteer to the 3rd line infantry regiment and then became a second lieutenant in November 1809. Joachim Murat had been sitting on the throne of Naples since 1 August 1808 and organized an expeditionary force made up of 20,000 French and 8,000 Neapolitans to attempt an invasion in Sicily against Ferdinand I of Sicily and quell the brigandage in Calabria, fomented in turn by loyalists to the crown of Ferdinand I. Their base of operations was in Calabria, and Francesco Landi participated in the expedition with the 3rd line regiment until 1813 when as a lieutenant he was assigned to the 8th line regiment. He participated in the Siege of Ancona in 1814 and in Joachim Murat's campaign against the Austrians until the defeat at Tolentino on May 2, 1815, after having received promotion to captain and the knight's cross of the Royal Order of the Two-Sicilies. With the defeat of Murat at the Battle of Tolentino, Ferdinand I of Sicily ascended to the throne of Naples with the name of Ferdinand I of Naples. Captain Landi, according to the Casalanza Treaty, will maintain the honors and degrees by taking an oath of loyalty to Ferdinand I of Naples. Under the new Bourbon regime, Francesco Landi, confirmed in the rank of captain, was assigned in 1816 to the 3rd regiment of the Regina line, stationed in Bari. The Murattian and Sicilian officers, until recently on opposite fields, were to now live together in a condition of hostile rivalry which would tend to worsen following some divisive measures of the Bourbon government. The decorations of the Royal Order of the Two Sicilies would be a divisive sign between the two factions and this would generate an underground discontent among the Murattian officers which will lead to the formation of some of these officers of carbonare lodges however there was no records on Francesco Landi's involvement in these carbonare lodges, even if Landi adhered to the constitutional movement of 1820–21 with which Ferdinand I of Naples was forced to grant the constitution, then revoked a few months later with the help of the Austrians. In 1818 Francesco Landi married Raffaella De Marinis, belonging to a noble family from Campania and had five children who would serve first in the Two Sicilian army, to then be re-enlisted in the Royal Italian Army. Landi would participate in the Carbonari uprisings of 1820–1821, where his regiment would be distinguished by the numerous desertions and acts of indiscipline. Following the end of the constitutional regime with the help of the Austrian army which will remain as occupier at the expense of the Kingdom of Naples, the national army is dissolved with a criminal trial for the officers most involved and an examination of the service record for the others. Following this examination, which would assess political rather than military conduct, Landi was placed on exile, together with other officers. Landi's career seems to have been cut short at that moment. The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, in the absence of a national army, would have to be based on the Imperial Austrian Army and on the formation of Swiss regiments, A turning point in the military policy of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies took place with the ascent to the throne of Ferdinand II who passionate about the military and with sympathy for the veterans of the Napoleonic campaigns excluded with the purge of 1821, who started the formation of a national army rescuing from the Murattian veterans and the Sicilian army cadres in which the ancient practice of the sale of degrees was still taking place. In this renewal, in 1832, Landi was recalled among the officers in reserve, only to be employed in operational departments only in 1838. In 1840 he was assigned to the 2nd Hunters Battalion where he remained for eight years as captain. In 1848 he was assigned to the 3rd Prince Regiment which was engaged in the repression of a revolt against the Bourbon regime in Calabria, receiving for his services the knight's cross of the Royal Order of Francis I. He will not participate in the campaign for the recovery of Sicily in the period 1848–49. In 1849 he was promoted to major and transferred to the 1st King Regiment and was then promoted to lieutenant colonel and commanded the 9th Hunters Battalion and in 1856, to the 6th Farnese Infantry Regiment stationed in Palermo, before assuming the rank of colonel. Expedition of the Thousand With the 6th Farnese Regiment, Francesco Landi was engaged in the repression of the of early April 1860 which ended on April 14 with the executions of dozens of conspirators. His service during the revolt led to his promotion to brigadier general on April 19 at the age of 68. In this phase of his life, Francesco Landi suffered from an unsteady health and difficulty in staying on horseback for a long time, preferring the carriage in operational movements, which was also the usual means for senior officers. In Sicily there was no revolution but there was a revolutionary situation that could get out of hand, due to the various outbreaks of revolt present. The attitude of the Sicilians were hostile not only because they are dissatisfied with the government, but also because of the intolerance towards the Neapolitan occupation. From the Revolt of the Gancia, there was a succession of actions by armed gangs, which, although not decisive, enjoyed popular support, especially from Cavour's Piedmontese agents and had the effect of keeping in constant pressure and a state of alarm the army, forcing it to long and exhausting marches and displacements to face the various threats. In April 1860, there were 25,000 soldiers in Sicily, garrisoned mainly at Palermo who reached the various parts of Sicily with mobile columns according to needs. The troops in Sicily depended on Lieutenant general Paolo Ruffo, Prince of Castelcicala, in charge of the land and sea forces stationed in Sicily. The army had a territorial order, so the constitution of brigades and divisions took place only when they had to operate, creating heterogeneous and not very close-knit units precisely in moments of operational peak. This order was justified by the conviction that a policy of international isolation would keep the kingdom safe from conflicts, considering the army as a tool to be used mainly to maintain public order. Although the hypothesis of a landing in Sicily had been aired for some time, the authorities had not prepared a plan until May, limiting themselves to sending mobile columns of troops where armed bands were reported. The passage of mobile columns near the inhabited centers created inconvenience, especially for the supplies found locally on which the mobile columns depended. For lack of coordination between General Paolo Ruffo, head of the Sicilian command, and General , head of the square of Palermo, the return to Palermo by sea from Trapani of the columns led by General Giuseppe Letizia was ordered, and at the same time the sending of a mobile column from Palermo to deal with the news of new insurgents in Sicily and in particulaly, a prediction of an imminent landing of Giuseppe Garibaldi, who departed from Quarto on May 5, expected, according to information from the Neapolitan command, in the stretch of Sicilian coast between Mazara and San Vito Lo Capo. The War Council decided to give command of the operations to stop Garibaldi to Francesco Landi, preferring him to General Giovan Luca von Mechel as he was of Swiss origin and therefore deemed a foreigner. Landi's mobile columns left Palermo on May 6, 1860, but the command's concern was not to defeat Palermo, which was itself the potential hotbed of a revolt, and therefore to use as few men and means as possible. The general would move very cautiously, and lamented the lack of postal services along the way and the presence of broken telegraph poles. In his correspondence with superiors, Landi complained about the absence of telegraphic communications and the lack of a fast relay service that would allow the rapid exchange of messages with the commands of Palermo, less than 80 km from Calatafimi, so he would have to rely on pedestrians for communication. On May 9, Landi was at Alcamo where he remained until May 12, when he would receive communication from Palermo of Garibaldi's landing in Marsala, receiving the order to meet him, with the promise that reinforcements would join him in Calatafimi. Landi arrived at Calatafimi at dawn on May 13. In correspondence with the superior commands, Landi would report the presence of a growing mass of insurgents who had their headquarters in Salemi. Landi, out of prudence, decided not to head towards Salemi to face the insurgents, considering it more favorable to wait for the impact of the insurgents in Calatafimi in order to cut the road to Palermo. Landi had a total of about 3,000 soldiers in mobile columns, while he didn't know the size of the enemy expedition, nor did he have precise information on their movements. Landi then asked Palermo for further troops who could seize the enemy from behind however these troops wouldn't arrive. On May 14 from Palermo, Landi would receive a communication to fall back to Partinico, in contradiction with the previous orders to deal with the expedition. A perplexed Landi sent a patrol expedition on May 15 to identify the enemy troops, preferring this solution to the continuation of the initial attack plan or the retreat towards Partinico. The patrol columns were composed of several companies, including those of the 8th Hunters battalion under the command of Major Sforza, who would meet the Garibaldians and, after an initial phase of observation, will autonomously decide to attack around 10:00 in the morning, although there was no order to that as it was directly part of Landi himself but without the necessary coordination with the other companies present and this led to the Battle of Calatafimi. The confrontation would last around eight hours and would end with the retreat ordered by Landi, after an unexpected resistance by Garibaldi and his men. Landi was heavily criticized of his conduct during the Battle of Calatafimi in which excessive prudence, the lack of coordination of the first attack, and an early retreat would determine an important impact on the morale of the troops, generating a chain of events that will lead to the fall of Palermo and an incredible military defeat. Part of the responsibilities, according to de Cesare in his account, are to be attributed to the contradictory orders of the various commands, afflicted by internal rivalries, to the delay in the arrival of reinforcements from Naples, to the untimely change of the lieutenant general on the same day of the Battle of Calatafimi. headed for Paolo Ruffo, Prince of Castelcicala with the lieutenant general , seventy-two years old at the time, and the well-founded fear of the presence in the surroundings of Calatafimi of insurgent formations that could support Garibaldi and seize Landi from behind. During the orderly retreat towards Palermo, Landi will be ambushed by armed gangs that will force him to a limited defense due to the scarcity of the remaining ammunition. Back in Palermo, General Lanza will show Landi the excessive haste in retiring. The defense of Landi was based on the contradictory orders received from the command, in the meantime passed from General Paolo Ruffo to General Ferdinando Lanza, and on the description given of the events. These explanations will be considered exhaustive by Lanza, as the latter will confirm Landi in command and will use him in positions of responsibility until the Siege of Palermo which exploded on May 27 with the arrival of Garibaldi at the gates of the city. Accusations of Treason Landi, together with the other generals who had participated in the Sicilian defeat, would be subjected to a commission of inquiry, which would however conclude with a favorable judgment, attributing the failure to exceptional events not attributable to the conduct of the generals. After this judgment, Landi left the army and died a few months later in Naples, following a pleurisy, on February 2, 1861. To mitigate the sins of the regime, the Bourbon thesis was that the fall was due to the betrayal of the leaders, ancient murattists, ungrateful for having been readmitted after the initial expulsion. Lieutenant General Paolo Ruffo, Prince of Castelcicala, after his removal as lieutenant for Sicily on the day of the Battle of Calatafimi, would accuse Landi of treason, regarding the excessively long time taken by the latter in the movements of his troops. Ruffo's accusations will also involve other officers, including General Lanza. A commission of inquiry had already addressed the issue, exonerating all generals, including Landi. Added to this is that in 1861 the news was spread, without evidence, according to which Francesco Landi, now on leave, would've gone to the Banco di Napoli, to collect a credit policy of 14,000 gold ducats as a reward received by Giuseppe Garibaldi in order not to oppose his advance, then proved, according to rumors, a falsified faith worth only 14 ducats, hence the alleged sudden death from a stroke. Raffaele de Cesare also specified that Landi died after a few days of illness and not suddenly as the Bourbon writers said. On the event, one of the general's sons managed to obtain a letter of denial from Garibaldi himself. De Cesare believes that Landi's retreat to Calatafimi, while decisive, was only the first of a disastrous series of debacles. Landi was not the only one to be, in retrospect, accused of treason, as a long series of other generals were accused of alleged treason both in Sicily and on the continent. He attributed the defeat to the serious systemic errors committed by the Bourbon army, the absence of a single command, internal rivalries and the tendency to avoid responsibility on the part of the highest officers: References Bibliography 1792 births 1861 deaths 19th-century Neapolitan people People of the Kingdom of Naples (Napoleonic) Kingdom of the Two Sicilies military personnel Expedition of the Thousand Military personnel from Naples

The Victory of Faith is an oil on canvas painting by Irish artist Saint George Hare that was completed in 1891. It depicts two sleeping nude women, one shackled, likely Christian martyrs sentenced to death by beasts (see damnatio ad bestias). The Victory of Faith is one of several paintings by Hare showing shackled women, another notable example being The Gilded Cage. A contemporary article in The Homiletic Review called it an "impressive depiction of Christian faith and steadfastness" and described the two women to be in a "sisterly embrace", while a modern description by Kobena Mercer named the work as an example of an interracial lesbian couple, likening it to Les Amis by Jules Robert Auguste. The Victory of Faith was exhibited at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition of 1891 and at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. It is currently at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, having been donated to the gallery in 1905. Notes References 1891 paintings Irish paintings Nude art

Battle of Akatsuka (or Akazuka, May 10, 1552) was the first recorded battle of the young Oda Nobunaga in his struggle to unite the province of Owari, against one of the former vassals of his late father (Oda Nobuhide, died in 1552), who switched is allegiance to the powerful Imagawa clan of Suruga province. Background Oda Nobuhide, a daimyo with significant influence in southern Owari, passed away on March 3, 1552, after a short contagious illness. His heir, Oda Nobunaga, who was barely 18 at the time, inherited a large feudal domain around Nagoya Castle, but he enjoyed generally bad reputation amongst the people of Owari for his eccentric and rude public behavior. Nobunaga mostly spent his time between the age of 13 (age of maturity at the time) and 18 in hunting, riding, practicing archery and shooting arquebus (still a novelty in Japan at the time), but also wrestling, swimming, watching sumo and visiting taverns and brothels with his friends. He also showed complete disdain for formal clothing and proper social behavior of a lord, wearing sleeveless bathrobe and short trousers tied with hemp rope in public, eating melons while riding backwards on his horse and often dancing in female clothing in taverns, gaining the nickname The Fool of Owari. Many of his father's retainers presumed their new lord as too weak or immature to lead and protect them and their lands, and some even contemplated open rebellion and replacing Nobunaga with his younger brother, Oda Nobuyuki, or defecting to more powerful regional lords. Battle In spring of 1552, barely a month after his father's death, one of Nobunaga's senior retainers, Yamaguchi Noritsugu, the castellan of Narumi Castle, and his son Yamaguchi Kurojiro (Noriyoshi) defected to the powerful Imagawa clan of Suruga (who controlled neighbor eastern provinces of Mikawa and Totomi) and invited their troops to Owari, who made several fortifications on Oda land. In response, on April 17 th (Lunar calendar) Oda Nobunaga raised some 800 men in Nagoya Castle and advanced to Narumi: on the way, his force was intercepted about a mile north of the castle by some fifteen hundred men led by young Yamaguchi Kurojiro. Battle was fought on foot, in close quarters with cold steel and lasted from the Hour of the Serpent (around 10 a.m) to the Hour of the Horse (around noon). After two hours of intense fighting, Nobunaga lost some 30 men, and retreated the same day back to Nagoya, leaving contested lands in eastern Owari under Imagawa control. Aftermath Nobunaga's first display as a battlefield commander impressed none, and further rebellions and attacks against Nobunaga were soon to follow, as his neighbors and relatives were trying to exploit his youth and presumed weakness for their benefit.

In February 1930 he became Director of Police in Görlitz, Saxony. There he joined the Nazi Party on 1 November 1932. Winkelmann's next important career move came in November 1937 when he was posted to the Hauptamt (Main Office) of the Ordnungspolizei (Orpo) located in Berlin. On 1 July 1938, he joined the SS (SS No. 308,238) in the rank of SS-Sturmbannführer. Over the next few years, he advanced steadily in rank, being promoted to SS-Gruppenführer and Generalleutnant of Police in November 1942. From August 1942, he headed the Command Office in Orpo, and functioned as deputy to Orpo Chief Kurt Daluege. He continued in this position until 19 March 1944 when, as a recently promoted SS-Obergruppenführer and General of Police, he was named to the newly created position of Higher SS and Police Leader for Hungary. During Winkelmann's tenure in Hungary, in an operation directed by Adolf Eichmann, over 437,000 Hungarian Jews were deported between May and July 1944, most all of whom perished in the Nazi extermination camp at Auschwitz. After the Hungarian government of Miklós Horthy began negotiations to sue for peace, Winkelmann, along with Edmund Veesenmayer the German Plenipotentiary to Hungary, immediately acted to remove the Horthy regime and install the Arrow Cross puppet government on 15 October 1944. On December 1, 1944, Winkelmann was made a General of the Waffen-SS. Adolf Hitler declared Budapest to be a fortress city and appointed Winkelmann as city commandant. The siege of Budapest lasted until the city's fall to the Red Army on 13 February 1945, and Winkelmann retreated into Austria where he took up the position of commander of all police on 1 March. For his services in Budapest, Winkelmann was awarded the Knight's Cross of the War Merit Cross. Post-war life On 1 May 1945, Winkelmann was captured by American forces and interned at Camp King. He was temporarily transferred to Hungary on 27 October 1945 to testify at war crimes trials of members of the Arrow Cross government. The Hungarian government applied for the extradition of Winkelmann, intending to try him also as a war criminal in Hungary. However, after lengthy negotiations, the American authorities denied the request. On 1 September 1948, Winkelmann was allowed to return to Germany, where he was released. Winkelmann took up residence in his hometown of Bordesholm, later moving to Großharrie and then to Kiel. In April 1955 he was elected to the municipal council of Kiel. In May 1961 he provided a written deposition in Germany to provide evidence in the Eichmann trial being held in Israel. In this document, he denied all culpability for the deportation and murder of Hungarian Jews, testifying that Eichmann did not receive orders from him, but directly from the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA) in the matter of the Final Solution. Winkelmann subsequently served as President of the Association of Retired Police Officers. He retired in 1964 and was awarded the pension of a General of Police. This generated controversy, as did the fact that he never stood trial for any role he may have played in the Hungarian holocaust.

Countess Wilhelmine Christine of Nassau-Siegen (1629 – 22 January 1700), , official titles: Gräfin zu Nassau, Katzenelnbogen, Vianden und Diez, Frau zu Beilstein, was a Countess from the House of Nassau-Siegen and through marriage Countess of . Biography Wilhelmine Christine was born in 1629 as the youngest daughter of Count William of Nassau-Siegen and Countess Christiane of Erbach. The exact date and place of birth of Wilhelmine Christine are unknown; she was baptised on 10 June 1629 in Heusden, the city of which her father had been governor since 1626. Count William Frederick of Nassau-Diez, the stadtholder of Friesland, noted in June 1645 in his diary that the sixteen-year-old Wilhelmine Christine was the favourite girlfriend of Prince William II of Orange, ‘die hij zoo dicwils custe als hij woude, alleen sijnde, en de borstjes tastede’. William II had to promise Wilhelmine Christine ‘sich deechlijck te hauden’, but the consequence of this intimacy was that her mother Christiane did not want Wilhelmine Christine to be alone with Prince William, ‘doch dat sie het allebeide sochten’. When Christiane came in ‘maeckte prins Wilhelm den slaepert’. Also after the death of Christiane in 1646, the prince was still in contact with Wilhelmine Christine. In November 1648, William Frederick wrote in his diary that William had told him that he had secretly visited her dozens of times and had seen her in bed twice, but that he had stayed ‘degelijck’, ‘niet als kussen en eens geraeckt, doch en passant en op het lest’. Earlier, William had mentioned that he would have wanted Wilhelmine Christine ‘heel’; he would have preferred her as wife to anyone else. Wilhelmine Christine married at Arolsen Castle on 26 January 1660 to Count Josias II of Waldeck-Wildungen (Wildungen, 31 July 1636 – Kandia, 8 August 1669), the second son of Count Philip VII of Waldeck-Wildungen and Countess Anne Catherine of Sayn-Wittgenstein. In 1660 Josias was granted the district of Wildungen as an appanage, later also the districts of and . Wilhelmine Christine and Josias were closely related. Elisabeth of Nassau-Siegen, Josias’ grandmother, was the eldest sister of Wilhelmine Christine’s father. Also from his mother’s side, Josias was related to Wilhelmine Christine. His great-grandmother, also named Elisabeth of Nassau-Siegen, was a younger sister of Count John VI ‘the Elder’ of Nassau-Siegen, the great-grandfather of Wilhelmine Christine. Agnes of Wied-Runkel, the great-great-grandmother of Josias, was a daughter of yet another Elisabeth of Nassau-Siegen, a younger sister of Count William I ‘the Rich’ of Nassau-Siegen, who was also the great-great-grandfather of Wilhelmine Christine. Finally, both Wilhelmine Christine and Josias descended from Count Wolrad I of Waldeck-Waldeck, Wilhelmine Christine through her grandmother Magdalene of Waldeck-Wildungen. Wilhelmine Christine outlived her husband by almost 31 years; she died in Hildburghausen on 22 January 1700 and was buried in Saalfeld on 27 January. Issue From the marriage of Wilhelmine Christine and Josias, the following children were born: Eleonore Louise (Arolsen Castle, 9 July 1661 – Arolsen Castle, 25 August 1661). William Philip (Arolsen Castle, 27 September 1662 – Arolsen Castle, 29 December 1662). Charlotte Dorothy (Arolsen Castle, 9 October 1663 – Arolsen Castle, 10 December 1664). Charlotte Joanne (Arolsen Castle, 13 December 1664 – Hildburghausen, 1 February 1699), married in Maastricht on 2 December 1690 to Duke John Ernest of Saxe-Saalfeld (Gotha, 22 augustus 1658 – Saalfeld, 17 December 1729).

Afghans in Ukraine are the country's largest diasporic community with origins outside of the former Soviet Union. During the existence of the Soviet Union, Afghans were the largest foreign group studying in Ukraine. After the resignation of the pro-Soviet president of Afghanistan, Mohammad Najibullah, in 1992, some Afghans in Ukraine applied for asylum. Other Afghans had returned to Afghanistan and served in the security forces during the Afghan Civil War of 1989 to 1992, with some then returning to Ukraine. Some male students married Ukrainian women. Many Afghans in Ukraine live in Kyiv and Dnipro, where some run small businesses that recruit workers from Afghanistan. There is also an Afghan community in Odesa, "made up of successive waves of exiles, refugees, and migrants" as well as commercial traders. The 2001 Ukrainian census recorded 1,008 people of Afghan nationality. In 2019, Ukraine was hosting 1,034 Afghan refugees. At the end of 2020, 1,449 Afghans had permanent residency in Ukraine and 233 had temporary visas. After the withdrawal of United States and other foreign troops from Afghanistan, in September 2021 the Ukrainian military evacuated Afghans alongside Ukrainian citizens from Afghanistan, now under the control of the Taliban. This followed previous rescue missions that had followed the fall of Kabul on 15 August 2021. In the context of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, TOLOnews reported that there were around 6,000 Afghan refugee in Ukraine, many of whom lacked permission to leave the country.

The Abajo Formation is a geologic formation in the Los Pinos Mountains of central New Mexico. It was deposited about 1660 million years (Ma) ago, corresponding to the Statherian period. History of investigation The unit was first defined by S.H. Baer in 2004. and assigned to the Manzano Group by Amy Luther in 2006. Geology The formation is divided into two members. The Abajo Lithic Arenite consists of various metasedimentary rocks interbedded with amphibolites interpreted as metamorphosed gabbroic dikes. The Abajo Schist consists of medasedimentary schist interbedded with metamorphosed basaltic dikes and flows. The formation is interpreted as sediments deposed during a period of volcanic activity. Detrital zircon grains in the formation are almost identical in age and isotope composition to the underlying Sevilleta metarhyolite, suggesting that the sediments of the quartzite were weathered almost exclusively from local sources. The minimum zircon age is about 1660 Ma, and radiometric dating of underlying and overlying formations place the age of the formation at about this time.

Robert Bordo is a New York-based, Canadian-American artist known for paintings that blend modernist formal concerns with postmodern approaches to image, subject matter and metaphor. Throughout his career, he has worked in painting series positioned between representation and abstraction that critics characterize as conceptually structured, yet sensual in execution. These series explore recurring, often overlapping themes, such as memory and experience, the passage of time, landscape and weather phenomena, mapping, and mark-making as an indicator of thought. New York Times critic Roberta Smith described Bordo's early map paintings as charting an idiosyncratic "hybrid discipline … a kind of cartographically conscious rerouting of modernism"; in a 2019 New Yorker review of his "crackup" paintings, Andrea Scott wrote, "Bordo's imagery is an apt metaphor for our current, contentious political climate, but his true subject is painting itself: how easily it can tip realism into abstraction or shift figure-ground relations until it's impossible to discern whether you’re on the inside looking out or vice versa." Bordo's work belongs to several public art collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and Hammer Museum. In 2007, he was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship. He has also received a Robert De Niro, Sr. Prize and awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and Canada Council, among other recognition. His first major solo exhibitions were held at Brooke Alexander Gallery in New York (1987–1992) and Mira Godard Gallery in Toronto (1991). In 1995, he joined the faculty at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York, heading its painting program from 1996 to 2017. He became a faculty member of Bard College's MFA painting program in 2010. Bordo maintained studios in both the Hudson Valley in upstate New York and Brooklyn in the first two decades of the 2000s and now works from Kinderhook, New York. Artwork and reception Bordo's painting series are intuitive in their development, often originating from ruminations on banal images, objects or clichés, which give way to explorations of the space, vocabulary and material practice of painting. Critics David Cohen and Stephen Maine have related Bordo's art to an American tradition of stylized abstraction from nature that includes Alex Katz and Milton Avery, while also linking him to critically self-aware contemporary painters such as Raoul De Keyser, Thomas Nozkowski, and Merlin James. Cohen distinguishes Bordo from both groups in his greater focus on "painterly experience" and the physical qualities of color, substance and application. Bordo's earlier series were noted for lyrical qualities recalling Cézanne and the color-field painters Clyfford Still and Agnes Martin; his later series feature a blunter, more anxious sensibility that writers compare to the late work of Philip Guston. Early series (1988–1998) In his early work, Bordo sought to integrate an abstract painting language with subject matter and metaphors related to landscape, social narratives, modernism, and his personal history as a Canadian and Montrealer living in New York. He initially painted globes, before turning to two-dimensional landforms and graphic elements, most prominently in his "Map Paintings." His approach to imagery and form—as well as his suggestive titles—kept this work open to a range of political, historical and physical interpretations. Stephen Westfall described them as "homeless paintings" of drift and restlessness, of area but not place, grounded by concrete qualities of texture, surface and intimate scale. Other writers identified metaphors involving emigration, journey, change and loss, or—citing their military, economic and geographic references—contemporary geopolitical commentary (e.g., Hidden Agenda, Thaw). Bordo exhibited map paintings in six solo exhibitions between 1987 and 1996. In these modestly scaled, quasi-minimal canvasses, he rendered the abstract shapes and irregular contours of landmasses from globes in glazes and textured fragments of color, which hovered between topographical suggestions of land, water or sky and abstraction, augmented by camouflage patterns, frames and elements from airmail envelopes, barely visible ledgers and stenciled aircraft forms (e.g., Exile, Letter). Roberta Smith likened these works to "the infinite spaces" of Edward Ruscha and Vija Celmins and the fictional stamp paintings of Donald Evans. Bordo's 1990s work also included his "Speech Bubble" and "Denim" paintings. The former works employ ghostly, hand-painted, empty speech bubbles set against monochrome white or gun-metal gray backgrounds—an iconic reference to speechlessness during the height of the AIDS crisis. The "Denim" works employ stenciled bootprints on blue monochromes and consider themes involving mapping, walking, cruising, and queering of the field of painting. Postcard paintings and landscape abstractions Bordo began exploring motifs involving abstracted landscape, the presentation of sublime space, and human archiving and recall of image memories in the late 1990s. In solo shows at Alexander and Bonin (1999 and 2002), he exhibited wide-format paintings featuring small, rectangular landscape abstractions derived from picture postcards his mother had collected. He rendered the images in quiet, carefully limited palettes and a no-frills manner without descriptive detail, then overlapped them in loose grids or clustered constellations over unmodulated, matte grounds (e.g., Lookout, 1999; Back Seat, 2003). Reviews compared the paintings to work by Robert Ryman or the "foggy infinitude of Agnes Martin and Mark Rothko." New York Times critic Grace Glueck termed them reticent "mindscapes"—generalized impressions of landscape that others equated to links in the associative chain of private thought and emotions, elusively suggesting the possibility of resolution into coherent subjects or sites. With exhibitions at Alexander and Bonin, Rubicon Gallery (Dublin) and Mummery + Schnelle (London) between 2005 and 2009, Bordo departed from multi-image postcard works, producing some of his most, understated, abstract paintings. In simple, frontal works, he distilled a sense of light, space and place into a minimum of color and surface incident—brushy, wet-into-wet stretches of mint, blue or taupe overlaid with dots, daubs, tiny brushstrokes, or slabs—pushing the limits of suggestive representation (e.g., Another Day, 2005). Art in America'''s Stephen Maine wrote that the "muted colors and veiled imagery" evoked an understated theatrical quality of intrigue that prompted viewers "to hang on every painterly syllable … drawn into what seems like an artworld subplot." Later paintings such as Heatwave and Green Girl (both 2008) consisted simply of free, seemingly casual, lyrical brushstrokes, applied in blended colors over a monochrome ground. Reviews of both shows noted the work's strong connection with nature, in palette and atmospherics, despite the high degree of abstraction. Later series: windshield, rear-view mirror and "crackup" paintings Bordo's paintings in the 2010s displayed a new sense of anxiety, reflecting issues such as the dramatic political polarization in the U.S. and climate change. Artforum's Barry Schwabsky wrote that these paintings left behind the more delicate, lyrical touch of the landscape works, "evince[ing] a Gustonesque brusqueness and spleen… with a blunter, more robust facture and a more implacable presence." This somewhat larger work was more explicitly structured by its imagery—often car windshields and rear-view mirrors, which served as metaphors for consciousness and movement in space and time, forward and backward (e.g., Rear-view, 2011; Wacko, 2012). In the "Windshield" paintings, Bordo continued to engage characteristic interests in visual and tactile pleasure, flatness and depth, conflating the picture plane with the windscreens of cars often depicted driving through unpredictable, rainy weather with active wipers (e.g., Dial, The Future, both 2012).<ref These paintings typically employed a complex sense of space, with overlaps, splits, doublings, changes of scale, and expressive horizontal and vertical lines suggesting journeys anticipated or recalled.Heinrich, Will. "Robert Bordo: Three Point Turn at Alexander and Bonin," The New York Observer, April 2, 2013. Roberta Smith wrote that the thick, wet-on-wet paint handling, blurred transparencies and fractured spaces of broken center lines and red lights created "an effect that is deliciously and darkly comic, but also abstract and rather ham-handedly beautiful." In the latter half of the 2010s, Bordo developed several offshoots from the windshield paintings. He exhibited loosely painted, abstracted heads rendered with thick, squeegeed paint in "Greater New York" (MoMA PS1, 2015)—closeups of his own worried face, blurred and moving, in eyeglasses and sometimes smoking a cigar—that emerge from rearview mirrors, box forms or rough grids.Hirsch, Faye, "Greater New York," Art in America, December 8. 2015. His "Skinny Jeans" paintings (2016) developed out of the self-portraits, as he simultaneously saw the eyeglasses in them as back pockets on jeans. He created the paintings by scraping outlined forms out of dark monochrome surfaces with a palette knife, revealing lines of bright underpainting. Writers described them as both humorous and homoerotic examinations of looking and being looked at, desire and mortality, that refer back to the queer abstraction of his "Denim" paintings. In 2019 at Bortolami, Bordo exhibited his "crackup" paintings, which drew upon prior series by employing monochrome grounds and lines incised into wet, oil surfaces that appeared like broken window panes. They depict dark holes on their surfaces, surrounded by spidery cracks that seemingly threaten to shatter further. The show included nine canvases in moody greens and blues, ranging from imposing (seven feet tall) to intimate (twenty inches), that reflected a contemporary, contentious political climate. Awards and collections Bordo has been recognized with a Guggenheim Fellowship (2007), Robert De Niro Sr. Painting Prize (2014), and awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters (2012), New York Foundation for the Arts (2012), Ballinglen Foundation (2010), Tesuque Foundation (1998), MacDowell (1994), and Canada Council (1991, 1977).Macdowell.

Thomas J. Sparrow (March 4, 1805 – December 22, 1870) was a prominent American architect active in the first half of the 19th century. Only three of his designs are known to be extant, with two of them now being listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Early life Sparrow was born in Portland, Maine, on March 4, 1805. Career Sparrow began in the organ-manufacturing business under John K. Paine. He then moved into carpentry and was listed as a joiner in the Portland Directory of 1837. Its next edition, four years later, showed him as being the city's first native professional architect. He was active into the 1860s, when ill health prevented him from partaking in the rebuilding of Portland after the great fire of 1866.

El Grillo, translated into English as The Cricket, is a frottola by Josquin des Prez. Possibly written in the early sixteenth century, it is regarded as one of Josquin's most popular works. History Possibly written in the early sixteenth century, El Grillo is attributed to an "Iosquin Dascanio", traditionally identified as French composer Josquin des Prez. Several scholars have posited that Josquin wrote the song to either honour or make fun of his colleague at the House of Sforza, an Italian court singer named Carlo Grillo. The Frottole libro tertio, published by Ottaviano Petrucci in 1505, is the only contemporaneous source of El Grillo. It received considerably little attention from modern musicologists until 1931, when it was included in Geschichte der Musik in Beispielen by Arnold Schering. Analysis The song is scored for four voices. Written from a third-person perspective, El Grillo concerns the cricket. The opening section is about the cricket's lengthy song, while the second one compares crickets and songbirds. The song concludes by suggesting that crickets may be better singers than songbirds, particularly because they sing all the time, rain or shine. The song contains both homophony and onomatopoeia, with its rhythm mimicking a cricket's mannerisms. Uncharacteristically for a frottola, the ripresa of the poetic lines mostly have seven syllables, whereas the piedi and volta have eight. According to musicologist Jaap van Benthem, the number of notes in the ripresa (88) spells "Des Prez" in gematria, while the 99 notes in the volta spell "Josquin". Legacy El Grillo is considered one of Josquin's most popular works. Willem Elders calls it "one of the most brilliant songs of the late fifteenth century", while Richard Sherr describes it as a "delightful jokey little piece." Henry Vyverberg writes that it "represents the frottola at its most attractive." References Citations Works cited Renaissance music Compositions by Josquin des Prez 16th-century compositions

Nannie Webb Curtis (, Austin; after first marriage, Webb; after second marriage, Curtis; June 22, 1861 - March 29, 1920) was an American lecturer, temperance activist, widely-known clubwoman. She wrote essays on the topic and edited a magazine. She served as National vice-president of Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), sat on the National Executive Committee, and was also on the Official Board of the National WCTU, the lawmaking body of organization. Her father having been a Methoidist minister, she made her living lecturing as a pulpit orator on the topics of prohibition and woman suffrage on behalf of the National WCTU, Chautauqua, and the lyceum circuits. Frequently characterized as being "bigger than her state", Curtis was a patriot and a speaker of national fame. Early life and education Nannie Austin was born in Hardin County, Tennessee, June 22, 1861. Her parents were Rev. D. J. and Julia Ann (Couch) Austin. On her paternal side, her great-grandfather was Benjamin A. Austin, an uncle of Stephen F. Austin. Moses Austin was also a distant relative. From her childhood, Curtis was bent on temperance reform. The Rev. Atticus Webb, in The Union Signal for April 8, 1920, related that Curtis' father, a prosperous merchant, included a large number of barrels of liquor in his stock, and that one day, during her father's absence, Curtis turned on the faucets of all the casks in the cellar, and allowed the contents to run to waste. When her father remonstrated with and threatened to whip her, she replied that if he did she would burn the liquor up the next time. She was brought to Texas in her early girlhood by her parents who settled in Bivins, Texas. Coming info the world during that period when the South was struggling back from the devastation of civil war, Curtis was early inured to the lessons of effort, which developed in her a never-dying determination to contend for the right against the wrong regardless of popularity or public opinion. She received her early education in the public schools of Mississippi. Career From 1879 to 1894, with intervals at home, Curtis taught in various schools. In 1881, she married W. J. Webb (d. 1890) while residing in Texarkana, Texas later moving to Sherman, Texas. They had four son, W. Earl Webb, Roy Orson Webb, Clyde Lee Webb, and one dying in infancy. The family moved to California for the husband's health, but he died there in 1890, and they family returned to Texas the following year. She married secondly, in 1893, I. S. Curtis (d. 1915), of Texarkana. When her sons reached the graded schools, she realized that her education was not sufficient to stand side by side with the education of her boys. With a desire for greater knowledge along academic lines, she entered the North Texas Female College (now Kidd-Key College), Sherman, Texas, for a two-year course in oratory, at the same time her boys went away to school. From this place, in 1900, she was called to the platform as State Organizer of the Texas Woman's Christian Temperance Union. Having completed the course in oratory, she was elected in 1906 to the Board of National lecturers of the WCTU of America. She became national organizer and lecturer, WCTU, in 1907. In 1910, while living in Sherman, she was elected president of the Texas WCTU and continued in office to her death. Curtis also served as National vice-president, WCTU, as well as State superintendent of temperance in the International Sunday-School Associationn for Texas. Curtis lead in every major city campaign in the South against the liquor traffic, as well as the State campaigns North, West and South, having toured every Southern State that voted on this question. On these tours she was given the sobriquet, "the Henry Clay of her sex", and also, "the silver-tongued orator of Dixie". She took part in campaigns in Alabama, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, and Virginia, as well as in her own State of Texas. In 1912, she was called to the Chautauqua work, and there she was called "the queen of the Southern platform". For four consecutive years, she spent her summers with the National Lincoln Chautauquas. Her second widowing occurred in 1915. That year, now residing in Waco, Texas, Curtis was unanimously re-elected president of the Texas WCTU, at the 39th annual convention of that organization in Houston. At that convention, she was also appointed as a delegate to the National Anti-Saloon Convention to be held at Atlantic City, New Jersey. She refused many Chautauqua offers for 1917, because she felt that Texas needed her, but her Chautauqua Association succeeded in securing her for 1918. She was a member of the International Lyceum Association, lecturing on "Woman, Her Progress and Future" and "The Country's Greatest Need". Curtis was made a member of the Sociological Conference, Nashville, Tennessee, 1912, and was appointed each year a delegate to the Southern Sociological Congress. She was asked to take a place on the Child Welfare Commission of Texas. She occupied many places of honor by appointment as recognition of her ability and her work for social, political and moral reforms. She took an active part in promoting the cause of Woman Suffrage woman suffrage. When Oklahoma was preparing itself for Statehood, Curtis was invited to address its constitutional convention on the subject of Statewide prohibition of the liquor traffic, and as a result of her address before that body, Statewide prohibition was written into the Constitution of that State. When America entered World War I, she served on the National Council of Defense. As a young woman, Curtis wrote and read temperance essays and pushed local campaigns in the schools of Mississippi. Later in life, she was the editor of the Texas White Ribbon, the official organ of the Texas WCTU, in Austin, Texas, and a collaborator on the Red Back medical journal, in the same city. She was also a contributor of articles to many periodicals in the US. Personal life After her second marriage, she converted from the Baptist faith to the Methodist Church. By 1918, having caught a severe cold, Curtis had fallen ill and was living in a sanitarium in Waco. Nannie Curtis died at the home of her son, Roy, in Dallas, Texas, March 29, 1920, after a lingering illness of three months. Burial was in Oakland Cemetery, Dallas. On June 15, 1920, the Texas Senate, by a rising vote, adopted a resolution giving its "expression of appreciation and loss by reason of the death of this noble woman".

The Temporary Protection Directive (TPD; Council Directive 2001/55/EC) is a 2001 European Union directive providing for immediate, temporary protection for displaced people from non-EU countries, intended to be used in exceptional circumstances when the regular European Union asylum system has trouble handling a "mass influx" of refugees. It was introduced in the aftermath of the Yugoslav Wars, but has never been used. If invoked, it would require EU member states to accept refugees as allocated based on their capacity to host them, following a principle of solidarity and a "balance of efforts" among member states. Officials have proposed invoking the directive multiple times since it was passed. On 1 March 2022, EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson expressed hope that it would be invoked in response to the refugee crisis caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Origins The directive was passed in 2001 in the aftermath of the Yugoslav Wars. The directive has been in effect since 7 August 2001, but it has never been triggered. Details The Temporary Protection Directive aims to harmonize European Union policies with respect to displaced people and increase solidarity and collaboration between member states in a refugee crisis. The directive discusses procedures for triggering and ending temporary protection, rights of people under temporary protection, and special provisions for specific categories of people (survivors of trauma, unaccompanied minors, and potential security threats). Temporary protection, which is distinct from asylum, can last up to three years depending on circumstances. People under temporary protection can obtain a residence permit without the complicated bureaucracy normally associated with seeking asylum. They are allowed to work and access social welfare, and are entitled to protection throughout the EU. Children must be allowed to access education the same way as EU residents. To invoke the directive, the European Commission would need to make a proposal to member states, and a qualified majority of the Council of the European Union (generally at least 55% of EU countries, representing at least 65% of the bloc's population) would need to vote in favor. The directive is intended to be invoked in the event of a "mass influx" of refugees; the definition of "mass influx" is left vague and meant to be defined on a case-by-case basis, in order to allow flexibility in its application. When invoked, the directive would compel all member states (except Denmark, which has an opt-out clause) to accept refugees, issue residence permits, minimize red tape, and take other steps to assist displaced people. Refugees would be distributed among member states on a voluntary basis, based on member states' capacity to host them. The directive originally did not apply to Ireland due to its opt-out clause, but on 11 April 2003, the Irish government stated its desire to opt in, which was accepted by the European Commission. However, as of 2016 the Irish government has not transposed the directive. Proposals for use or repeal Though the directive has never been invoked, its possible use has sometimes been discussed. In 2011, the EU received more than 300,000 refugees, partly due to the First Libyan Civil War. The Italian and Maltese governments argued for using the TPD, and the European Commission discussed invoking it to address tension between Italy and France over their differing refugee policies. However, the directive was not invoked, partly due to opposition from the German government. Amid the 2015 European refugee crisis, the UNHCR, some members of the European Parliament, and activists called for the directive to be invoked. EU foreign policy official Josep Borrell discussed the possibility of invoking the directive in 2021 to aid Afghan refugees following the United States military's withdrawal from Afghanistan. The directive has also been discussed as a response to the 2022 Ukrainian refugee crisis. On 27 February 2022, EU ministers asked Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson to prepare plans for invoking the directive. However, Anders Ygeman and Mattias Tesfaye, migration ministers from Sweden and Denmark respectively, said that they did not yet think the directive was merited. Gérald Darmanin has announced plans to propose invoking the directive at a meeting on 3 March 2022. There has been discussion of the directive in the context of climate refugees, but it is thought that it would probably not be applicable due to the gradual nature of climate change. Possibility of repeal In 2020, a proposed regulation stated that the Temporary Protection Directive "no longer responds to member states’ current reality" and should be repealed. John Koo, lecturer in EU law at London South Bank University, has argued that the directive benefits neither EU member states nor refugees themselves, and that its mechanisms contain problems.

Sérgio Moraes Sampaio (April 13, 1947 — May 15, 1994) was a Brazilian singer and songwriter. His compositions span several musical genres from samba and choro to rock and roll, blues and ballads. Sampaio was considered an outsider name ("maldito") in Brazilian music. Life and career Sampaio was born in Cachoeiro de Itapemirim, to Raul Gonçalves Sampaio, owner of a shoestore and bandleader, and Maria de Lourdes Moraes, schoolteacher A fan of radio programs, where he followed the singers of the time such as Orlando Silva, Sílvio Caldas, and Nelson Gonçalves, who inspired him, he made impressions of radio broadcasters such as Luiz Jatobá and Saint-Clair Lopes, getting a job at a radio station in his hometown, XYL-9. In 1964 he tried to work in Rio de Janeiro at Rádio Relógio, returning after four months. In late 1967 he moved permanently to Rio, initially to try his hand at a career as a radio broadcaster, and to attend the city's nightlife. Sampaio could not keep a job; he lived in cheap boarding houses and even on the street, even begging for food. Sergio had started singing at night in bars, until February 1970, when he resigned from Rádio Continental to dedicate himself entirely to music. He applied to the Festival Fluminense da Canção, a stage of the Festival Internacional da Canção (III FIC) of that year, and was among the twenty finalists with the song "Hei, você".. In Rio de Janeiro he met Raul Seixas, then a record producer at CBS (currently Sony Music) company, and a long friendship and partnership began. After a test with Paulo Diniz's partner Odibar, he was hired in his place the following year, participating in several recordings, as part of the chorus of Renato e seus Blue Caps. He signed, under the pseudonym Sérgio Augusto, the lyrics to the song "Sol 40 graus", recorded by Trio Ternura and which was a hit in 1971. The Trio recorded other of his compositions, such as "Vê se dá um jeito nisso" - a partnership with Raul Seixas, with whom he also shared "Amei você um pouco demais", recorded by José Roberto. Raul produces his first compact in which Sergio experienced some success with "Coco Verde", soon re-recorded by Dóris Monteiro. He returned to his hometown in July, where he participated in the "II Festival de MPB", winning first place and also taking fourth place. Together with Raul Seixas he started the production of an opera-rock project, whose lyrics were censored by representatives of the Brazilian military dictatorship. In spite of this, the songs became part of Raul Seixas' first record: "Sociedade da Grã-Ordem Kavernista Apresenta Sessão das 10", featuring Míriam Batucada and Edy Star. In 1973 he released his first LP by Philips, produced by Raul and named "Eu Quero Botar Meu Bloco na Rua", with several renowned musicians; the record failed in sales, despite his appearance in television programs and the good airplay of songs like "Cala a boca, Zebedeu", by his father, in the radios.

Valeriya Alexeyevna Golubtsova (15 May 1901 in Nizhny Novgorod — 1 October 1987 in Моscow) was a scientist who was the director of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute from 1943 to 1952. She was the wife of Georgy Malenkov. Biography Golubtsova was born in Nizhny Novgorod in the family of a teacher in the cadet corps, State Councilor Alexei Golubtsov (1852 – 1924), and Olga Nevzorova, who was a member of an old noble family. Nevzorova's older sisters were the famous "Nevzorov sisters" (Zinaida, Sophia, and Augustine) — Vladimir Lenin's comrades-in-arms in Marxist circles back in the 1890s. Zinaida married Gleb Кrzhizhanovky in 1899, who in the 1920s headed the GOELRO Commission. The Golubtsov family raised five children: Lyudmila, Valeriya, Roman, Vyacheslav (later Professor of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, corresponding member of the Аcademy of Sciences of the Soviet Union), and Elena. In 1917, Golubtsova graduated from a gym in Nizhny Novgorod, and then did library courses. Since 1920, during the Russian Civil War, she worked as a librarian on the Тurkestan Front, and in the agit-train of the cavalry brigade, she met the Commissar, Georgy Malenkov. In 1920, she married him (though without official registration until her death, and the preservation of her maiden name) and joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. After moving to Moscow in 1921, Golubtsova got a job at the Organizing Department of the Central Committee at got a separate room in the Loskutnaya Hotel on Тverskaya Street— the center of the Moscow Communist bohemia. Malenkov then entered the Bauman Moscow State Technical University (the couple decided to graduate one-by-one). From 1928 to 1930, she worked as a standardizer at the Moscow Metallurgical Plant. In 1930, at the direction of the party organization, Golubtsova entered the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, where, as a student, she took the post of Secretary of the Institute Organization of the CPSU. After graduating in 1934, she worked as an engineer at the Dynamo Plant until 1936. In 1936, she entered the graduate school of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, but was interrupted in 1938 due to giving birth to two sons. During the Great Patriotic War, from 1941 to 1942, Golubtsova was evacuated with her family to Samara, where she worked as an instructor in the Samara Regional Committee of the CPSU, responsible for the aviation and electrical industries. For the work con commissioning the evacuated factories at a rapid pace, general quarters, and start-up of enterprises, and fulfillment of the plan at all costs, Golubtsova was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labour. In 1942, she returned to Moscow. On 3 June 1943, Golubtsova, an assistant at the Department of Cable Engineering, was appointed director of the Moscow Order of Lenin of the V.M. Molotov Power Engineering Institute. She was the director of the university until 4 January 1952. As the director of the MEI Beginning to lead the MPEI, Golubtsova knew the institute well, since she herself graduated from it, studied at its graduate school, and, during her studies, was repeatedly elected to the party bureau of the institute. She knew the teaching staff, the party, Komsomol, trade union activists, the traditions, and the material base of the institute. In turn, she was well known in the circles of the top party and state leadership of the country, as well as the leadership of the electric and thermal power industry, among which were MPEI graduates Alexei Pavlenko, Dmitry Zhimerin, and Аnatoly Petrakovsky. In the position of the director of the institute, Golubtsova did a lot to expand the institute and increase its scientific potential. Those who knew her at work noted her ability to see the future and the ability to organize people to solve tasks. According to Boris Chertok's memoirs about Golubtsova during the Great Patriotic War:She assumed full responsibility, removed the confused director from the leadership, and organized, as far as possible, a normal evacuation and then the continuation of the educational activities of the institute in a new place. <...> After the war, Golubtsova, as director, showed exceptional activity in the construction of new educational buildings, a pilot plant, the expansion of the laboratory and research base, the construction of a palace of culture, a hostel and residential buildings for professors and teachers. Largely thanks to her energy, combined with her proximity to the highest authorities of the country, a whole town of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute grew up in the area of Krasnokazarmennaya Street. <...> God generously endowed her with organizational talent. The sensitivity inherent in women helped her to unite the efforts of all scientists of the institute with a minimum of contradictions. In any case, the solid MPEI professorship supported the director in all her activities.The work of Golubtsova as director was highly appreciated by her colleagues. Professor R.G. Romanov stated: Valeria Alekseyevna's place is among the most prominent MPEI figures. In my opinion, after the creator of the MPEI Karl Krug, Valeria Alekseevna Golubtsova is in second place in terms of importance, in terms of the weight of all her daily work.Professor A.N. Starostin stated: I saw in her not only a beautiful intelligent woman, a scientist, and a leader, but also a loving mother, for whom the success and happiness of children is the most important thing in life.Academician Alexander Sheindlin stated: This woman, to be objective, really did a lot to turn the MPEI into a first-class institution of higher education.The director of the MPEI at the time of Golubtsova's application for the post, Ilya Teltelbaum, stated: Director of the MPEI V. A. Golubtsova acted exceptionally bravely and decently. After reviewing the documents and the main works of Ilya Markovich and talking with him, in the midst of the "doctors' case" and the fight against "cosmopolitanism", she ordered the head of the MPEI personnel department to take this employee under her personal responsibility.Golubtsova found an opportunity and took care of the life of students. From the memoirs of students of this time:Valeria Alekseevna tried to do everything possible to help poor students, and literally dressed the graduate Kalina from head to toe, sending her to the disposal of the Altaienergo department after defending her diploma. Professor A. L. Zinovev stated: Valeria Alekseevna constantly found opportunities to provide specific targeted assistance to those in particular need of it. And always "at first there was a word", a kind word…At the same time, in the memoirs of Raisa Kuznetsova, the wife of the Director of the IIET Ivan Kunetsov, Golubtsova's pronounced antisemitism is clearly noted, in her opinion. In 1944, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR issued a resolution on the development of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, an all-Union training base for power engineers. Valeria Alekseevna took up the implementation of the government's decision with her characteristic energy and perseverance. In a short time, she obtained the necessary funds and materials for the construction of the main building of the MPEI — House Number 17. The construction battalion, with the active participation of students and employees, built buildings "B", "C", "G", "D" of house number 17, row buildings on the territory of a student hostel, all red brick houses on Energeticheskaya Street. Under the conditions of hostilities, such construction was practically impossible, since each builder was counted, but Valeria Alekseevna succeeded. It was she who was able to resolve the issue of transferring two buildings to MPEI: a large 8-story building No. 13, built in 1928-1930 according to the project of a team of domestic authors, and house No. 14, where until 1944 the headquarters of the partisan movement in the Great Patriotic War was located. Later, house number 14 was completed. In the spring of 1945, Golubtsova, who had the rank of major, visited Vienna, which had just been taken, in order to obtain a test bench and measuring equipment for MPEI, which were located at the Allgemeine Electrische Gesellschaft (AEG) electrical enterprise that was to be dismantled. Golubtsova personally supervised the MPEI research department, the capital construction department, the campus, and the educational department. She took away from the people's commissars, or in her words, "grabbed captured equipment in Germany" what was needed to equip the MPEI. With the participation and assistance of Valeria Alekseyevna, the MPEI built the only education and experimental combined heat and power plant in the USSR — the MPEI CHPP with a capacity of 12 megawatts, commissioned in 1951. She achieved the allocation of territory for the construction of rest houses near Moscow and in Crimea, in Аlupka, and when the rest house in Alupka was confiscated from the MPEI and converted into a tuberculosis sanatorium of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions, she insisted on compensation, and the MPEI was allocated a site for the construction of a sports camp in Crimea, in the Аlush ta region, which later became a cult place for MPEI students. Golubtsova actively helped employees in difficult moments of their lives: for many she "knocked out" work cards and vouchers to a sanatorium. She did not expel Boris Chertok (in the future, a prominent figure in the Soviet rocket and space industry) from the MPEI for debt, and Vladimir Kotelnikov (later a radio physicist) covered up from the Minister of State Security Viktor Kotelnikov. Among the personal nominees of Golubtsova are MPEI graduates Vladimir Kotelnikov, Boris Chertok, Vladimir Kirillin, Alexander Sheindlin, Аlexei Vogomolov, and dozens of professors. Later years and death In 1952, after a serious illness, she was forced to leave the post of director, and took up scientific work. From 1953 onwards, she was deputy director of the Institute of the History of Natural Science and Technology. In 1956 she defended her doctoral dissertation on the history of the development of cable technology in the USSR, at the same time she was awarded the academic title of professor in the department of general electrical engineering. V. A. Golubtsova put forward the idea of publishing and became the editor-in-chief of the capital two-volume History of Power Engineering in the USSR (1957). After her husband, Georgy Malenkov, was removed from all party and state posts in 1957, she followed him into exile in Oskemen, and later in Ekibastuz. After the death of her mother-in-law in 1968, they moved to the village of Udelnaya in the Moscow region. In 1971, she was made a political pensioner. From 1973 onward, she lived with her husband in Moscow, on 2 Sinichkina Street, in a two-room apartment. In 1980, by the order of Yuri Andropov, they were given a two-room apartment on theFrunzenskaya Embankment, where the couple spent the last years of their lives. Golubtsova died on 1 October 1987. She was buried with her husband at the Kuntsevo Cemetery in Moscow. Family Her husband was Georgy Malenkov, a Soviet statesman and party leader, and an ally of Joseph Stalin. They had three children, who each chose various professions, and who all became doctors of science. Volta Malenkova (1924—2010) was an architect. She had one son from her first marriage, Sergei (1946—2010). Inher second marriage she had another son, Alexander Stepanov. Together with Alexander, they had Proterozoic Aleksandrovich Stepanov (1953—2014).

The First Businesses The Michner Plating Co. - Mechanic Street Site, as dubbed by the EPA, is a 140,000 square foot industrial complex that sits by the Grand River in Jackson, Michigan on the corner of N Mechanic Street and W Trail Street. The very first buildings on this site were constructed in the late 19th and early 20th century; these companies were Weeks Drug & Chemical, Lewis Blessings Cigar & Paper Box, and Novelty Manufacturing. By 1920 Lewis Blessings and Weeks Drug & Chemicals' property on Mechanic Street had been acquired by S.M. Isbell Seed Co. Isbell's Seeds Isbell Seed, was Michigan's biggest supplier of agricultural produce, specifically beans at the time. After the acquisition of the buildings, the S.M. Isbell Company preceded in demolition of multiple structures on site, excluding Weeks's three story building. Isbell Seed expanded the Weeks building until 1930. When looking over that site today viewers are able to observe the original Isbell signs that'd been painted on the building's facade, standing the test of time. Michner Acquisition In 1935 the three story complex was purchased by Joseph Michner, in which he would found Michner Plating Corp. The company manufactured and plated automobile parts, particularly seat belts and other small parts. Engraving, heat treating, chrome, and electroplating also made up the bulk of manufacturing that occurred at Michner Plating Co. The Michner Plating Corporation renovated the Isbell buildings for plating, repainting them with the Michner name, and continue the expansion of the buildings. The company also bought the former Novelty Mfg., site allowing them to expand on the north end of the site. Michner's changes: 1936 – New chrome line with conveyor access to the former Isbell structures 1940's – Northern loading area restructured with more coverage and access 1962 – Two floor office building and loading room, under new management of Walter Michner 1963 – Former Isbell Complex sold to SalCo Engineering 1965 – Nickel & zinc plating lines expansion, modern machinery Later Years After the site split Michner Plating Co. began receiving numerous violation notices for their Mechanic St. site. In 2007 Michner ceased operations at the Mechanic St. site, relocating to Angling Rd. where Jason Michner would take over. The vacancy time allowed for Michner to salvage metals by cutting pipes, which sparked a small fire in the unused building. Michner Plating Co. entered foreclosure in 2013 due to $1.6 million unpaid back-taxes. SalCo later relocated to Micor Drive in 2015 following the EPA's investigation into the site, discovering over '1,100 drums, vats, totes, and other containers potentially containing cyanide, zinc cyanide, nickel chloride, chromic acid, hydrogen peroxide, sulfuric acid, ignitable wastes, reactive wastes and other chemicals'. Groundwater soil tests were performed across the site for PFAS, due to its proximity to the Grand River, with a Hazardous Ranking System score of 39.12. In 2016 the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission inquired about Novelty Manufacturing's business in radium isotopes, which could actively harm the environment around the facility. Current status During the late 2010s the abandoned buildings became a popular spot to vandalize and explore. Due to Jackson's graffiti ordinance none of the graffiti, has been repainted since being obtained by Jackson County. The complex seems to be very popular among local underground photographers. In 2021 a portion of the roof in the north building collapsed due to age and weathering. The same section caved in again in summer 2021. The EPA returned in 2021, and designated Michner Plating as a Superfund Cleanup site, citing numerous barrels containing industrial chemicals, buried within the building's foundation. Jackson County is developing a plan to demolish the building for site reuse by December 2022. All entry points in the northern building have been sealed for the cleanup process.

Phalaenopsis tsii is a species of orchid native to Southeast China. The specific epithet tsii honours Zhan-huo Tsi, who discovered Phalaenopsis subparishii. It has only been known from Mount Shunhuang in Hunan, China. Description The stems are 0.7-1.2 cm long and bear distichously arranges leaves of 7–10 cm in length and 2.4-3.3 cm in width. The inflorescences are 6–9.5 cm long and they produce flowers with greenish base colouration and brown spotting on the adaxial surface of the petals and sepals. The flowers are spurred, like all other members of the subgenus Hygrochilus. The spur is horn-shaped and 1.3-1.5 cm long. The androecium consists of four pollinia, which are arranged in two equal pairs. This is a characteristic shared by the very similar Phalaenopsis subparishii, from which it differs due to the smaller size, the larger white labellum in addition to the longer spur and column of Phalaenopsis tsii. Ecology This species if found growing epipytically on tree trunks in forests at elevations of 1200–1850 m. Conservation This species is protected unter the CITES appendix II regulations of international trade.

The Water Thief is a 2012 mundane science fiction novel by American writer and philosopher Nicholas Lamar Soutter about a hyper-capitalist future in which "corporations own everything, even the air we breathe". Plot Charles Thatcher is a typical citizen in a future hyper-capitalist society. He is the property of Ackerman Brothers Securities Corporation and in this society, every commodity, even air, is sold on the market. The population is kept under control with horrific punishments delivered by a corrupt, profit-driven police service. Given that turning in thieves of resources is inventivized with the profit motive, when Charles sees a woman steal rainwater (which is corporation property), his first thought is to call the police. Hoping to secure a larger reward, he tells authorities that she is not only a water thief; he claims she is a revolution-minded militant who is agitating for the return of the ancient system known as “government.” She disappears, and he realizes that his creative editorializing in his report may have in fact been true. As he connects with the underground resistance, he learns more about the hyper-capitalist nature of the ruling corporations. At the same time, he even starts to wonder if the lure of profit is tempting the revolutionaries. Writing process After reading Ayn Rand's libertarian-themed novel Atlas Shrugged, which he found to be "quite flawed". Soutter decided to rebut Rand's arguments from Atlas Shrugged by writing a novel, The Water Thief which is about a future in which "corporations own everything, even the air we breathe". Reception In 2012 The Water Thief won a Kirkus Star from Kirkus Reviews. Kirkus Reviews called his work “[p]rofound...[and] sure to spark a reaction" and said he was "scathing, [and] ceaselessly engaging”. In 2013, the host of Blog Talk Radio, Susan Wingate, called the work a "thought-provoking novel". The 2016 edition of SFX (#277, September) calls The Water Thief an example of mundane science fiction, making the specific claim that the novel should be categorized as "Mundane SF future-history". Martha Sorren of Truthout states that Soutter "does an excellent job of building of this dystopian world and expertly connecting it to the flaws of our society today, making it easy for the reader to believe our government could morph into this corporate conglomerate if we aren’t careful."

Battle of Kiyosu Castle or Battle of Kaizu (August 16, 1552) was the first victory of the young Oda Nobunaga in his struggle to unite the province of Owari against his cousin, Oda Nobutomo, deputy governor of southern Owari. Background At the time when the seventeen-year-old Oda Nobunaga inherited family estates (of the so-called Shibata branch of Oda family, though Shobata Castle, built before 1520. by his grandfather, was abandoned in 1538) in the southwestern part of Owari Province (around Nagoya Castle) in spring of 1552, the southern parts of the province were ruled by his cousins, Oda from Kiyosu Castle, and the eastern parts of Owari were ruled by the powerful Imagawa clan, who at the time ruled the neighboring provinces of Mikawa, Totomi and Suruga, and their vassals, the Matsudaira clan (later Tokugawa) from Mikawa. First Battle Immediately after the death of Nobunaga's father Oda Nobuhide in spring of 1552, his cousin Oda Nobutomo, deputy governor (shugodai) of the southern Owari, attacked his domain and captured two castles, but was suppressed by Nobunaga and his uncle, Oda Nobukatsu , lord of Moriyama Castle. Together, they recaptured both forts and defeated Nobutomo's forces at the village of Kaizu (3 km from Kiyosu), killing more than 80 prominent samurai, and burned the outskirts of Kiyosu on August 16, 1552 (Lunar calendar). Second Battle Next year, on July 12, 1553, Oda Nobutomo executed the legal governor (shugo) of the province, Shiba Yoshimune, who lived as a glorified hostage at his castle, for conspiring with Nobunaga. Such a brutal violation of the governor and Shogun's authority (who was formally venerated by all Japanese daimyos at the time as their legal and ancestral lord) isolated Nobutomo from the former allies, and the governor's son Shiba Yoshikane managed to escape to Nobunaga in Nagoya. Nobunaga mobilized his forces and on the July 18th defeated Nobutomo under the walls of Kiyosu, mainly thanks to the unusually long spears (between 18 and 21 feet) of his ashigaru, which Nobunaga has designed himself. Retainers of Kiyosu suffered significant losses (more than 30 prominent samurai), but Nobunaga did not dare to attack the castle, so left it under a blockade, waiting for the opportunity to take it by cunning. Fall of Kiyosu Castle After defeating the powerful Imagawa clan in the Battle of Muraki (January 24, 1554), and liberating parts of southeastern Owari from their domination, Nobunaga gained a great reputation in Owari and got a free hand for the final showdown with Odo Nobutomo of Kiyosu. Having lost most of his vassals in the battles around the castle, Sakai Dozen, Nobutomo's chief adviser, offered Nobunaga's uncle Nobumitsu the position of provincial governor if he betrayed Nobunaga. Nobumitsu apparently agreed to betray Nobunaga, and with a group of warriors he was released in Kiyosu, but during the night his men opened the gates and the castle was conquered by storm (April 20). Oda Nobutomo was forced to commit sepuku, while Sakai Dozen managed to escape to the province of Suruga, finding refuge with Nobunaga's archenemy, Imagawa Yoshimoto. Thus Nobunaga conquered Kiyosu Castle and became lord of the southern Owari: as a reward, his uncle Nobumitsu was given Nagoya Castle and two eastern districts (out of four) of lower Owari, while Nobunaga moved to Kiyosu Castle as his new seat.

Linda Uttley (26 October 1966 – 27 November 2009) was an English rugby union footballer. She was born in Barnes, London and was the youngest of eight siblings. Her rugby career began in 1989 at Teddington Rugby Club. She moved to Wasps Rugby Club in 1995 and won her first international cap in 1997, the start of her career with the Women's England Team. She won a total of thirteen caps, playing in every position except full-back, hooker and prop, and was a member of the squads in the Five Nations and World Cup in 1998. She went on to play for the Classic Lionesses in Bermuda in 2000. Uttley loved everything about rugby – she was skillful, strong, fast and a great teammate. In November 2007 she was diagnosed with 'end-stage' leiomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer. Huge support from the rugby community raised funds for specialist treatment overseas. Despite her illness, she continued to work for the Rugby Football Union and toured with the England Lionesses. She died on 27 November 2009 at Princess Alice Hospice in Esher at the age of 43. Since then, winners of the RFU Linda Uttley Award, in recognition of the commitment and dedication of an individual, have included Sophie Hemming and Catherine Spencer.
