Massalongiaceae is a small family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Peltigerales. It has three genera and seven species. Species in this family have cyanobacteria as their primary symbiotic partner (cyanobiont), so they belong to the group known as "cyanobacterial lichens". Taxonomy The family was circumscribed by Mats Wedin, Per Magnus Jørgensen, and Elisabeth Wiklund in 2007. Molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that the three genera formed a well-supported monophyletic group that was distinct from other similar families in the Peltigerales. The family was named after the type genus, Massalongia; the genus name honours Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo. Massalongiaceae has a sister taxon relationship with the family Peltigeraceae, and these two families together form a clade that is sister to a clade containing the families Vahiellaceae and Koerberiaceae. Previous phylogenetic studies had placed genus Massalongia in a group together with Peltigeraceae, Nephromataceae and Lobariaceae, although the relationships of Massalongia within this group were not precisely determined. Description The thalli of Massalongiaceae lichens range in form from squamulose (scaley) to microfoliose (tiny and leafy) or microfruticose (tiny and bushy). The photobiont partner is a member of the cyanobacterial genus Nostoc. In the squamulose to microfoliose species, the lobes are rounded to elongated, and the branches in microfruticose species are terete (more or less circular in cross-section) and delicate. The ascomata are in the form of apothecia, and they are usually biatorine (where the outer layers of the apothecium are light-coloured and contain no algae). The hamathecium (a collective term for all kinds of hyphae or other tissues between asci) consists of unbranched to branched paraphyses, and is amyloid. The asci are semifissitunicate (i.e., discharge of spores from the ascus involves the separation of wall layers), with a thin apical tholus (the thickened inner part of an ascus tip) with an amyloid ring-structure, and cylindrical. The structure of the asci is particularly important in distinguishing between related families in the Peltigerales. For example, Peltigeraceae has a distinctive apical tube, while Nephromataceae lacks any amyloid apical structure, and Lobariaceae has an indistinctive amyloid layer that is not comparable to the apical cap found in the asci of the Massalongiaceae. There are eight ascospores in each ascus. The spores have septa that divide the spore transversely, and have a shape ranging from spindle-shaped (fusiform) to ellipsoid. The conidiomata are in the form of pycnidia; the conidia are hyaline, lack septa, and are rod-shaped to spindle-shaped. No secondary compounds are known to occur in the family. Habitat and distribution Massalongiaceae lichens grow on rocks, and are often associated with bryophytes, growing among or on top of them. Collectively, the family has a cosmopolitan distribution, but with more representation in northern temperate zones. Genera and species Leptochidium L. albociliatum L. crenatulum Massalongia M. carnosa M. griseolobulata M. microphylliza M. patagonica Polychidium P. muscicola Several additional species of Massalongia have been described, but some cannot be identified precisely due to lack of sufficient type material, as they are only known from the type collection, and some have been transferred to other genera.

Cystofilobasidium is a genus of fungi in the family Cystofilobasidiaceae. Species occur as yeasts, but produce filamentous sexual states that form dikaryote teliospores, from which the unicellular basidia (if present) are formed. The hyphae usually have dolipore septa without a parenthesome, and their cell walls contain xylose. The genus currently contains six species worldwide. References Tremellomycetes

Captain Sylvanus Blanchard (April 9, 1778 – January 6, 1858) was an American merchant sea captain. A native of North Yarmouth, Maine, after retiring from the seas, he became a noted shipwright, owner of one of the big four shipyards at the harbor of today's Yarmouth during the town's peak shipbuilding years of 1850–1875. Early life Blanchard was born on April 9, 1778, to Joshua Blanchard (1748–1835) and Jane Prince (1750–1850). He was one of eleven children, the others being William (born 1772), Elizabeth (Betsey) (born 1773), Hannah (born 1775), Saba (born 1780), Nathaniel (born 1783), Perez (born 1785), Reuben (born 1787), Huldah (born 1789), Theodotia (born 1792) and Levi (born 1794). Career After a successful career as a sea captain, he became a shipwright after returning to shore full-time. He formed the shipbuilding company Blanchard Brothers, with his sons Paul, Sylvanus Cushing and Perez, which was in operation between 1857 and 1893. Under master builder Joseph A. Seabury, among the ships his company built was Admiral, Commodore, S. C. Blanchard, Pacific, Star and Detroit. The sons continued the business after their father's death. Personal life Blanchard married Dorcas Prince Blanchard (1781–1863), daughter of Cushing Prince and Hannah Blanchard, on October 25, 1804. They had eight children: David Prince Blanchard (1806–1828), Paul Greely Blanchard (born 1808), Sylvanus Cushing Blanchard (born 1811), Perez Nathaniel Blanchard (born 1815), Samuel Woodbury Blanchard (1818–1857), Dorcas Jane Blanchard (1822–1862), Ammi Mitchell Blanchard (born 1825) and Olive Elizabeth Blanchard (1826–1861). Paul, Sylvanus Cushing and Perez became sea captains. Having lived for a period at today's 158 Main Street in Yarmouth, in 1855 Blanchard had built the home at today's number 317. He lived to enjoy it for only three years, however, before his death. The home passed to one of his sons, and is today known as the Captain Sylvanus Cushing House. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Death Blanchard died on January 6, 1858, aged 79. He is buried in Yarmouth's Old Baptist Cemetery.

The Tribute Money. Peter Finding the Silver Coin in the Mouth of the Fish is a painting by Jacob Jordaens created some time between 1616 and 1634. It is in the collection of the National Gallery of Denmark in Copenhagen (Inventory number KMS3198). It depicts the story of Jesus sending the apostle Peter to find a silver coin in the mouth of a fish as recounted in the Gospel according to Matthew 17:24-27. The composition was referred to as the "Ferry Boat to Antwerp" by the 17th-century German art historian and painter Joachim von Sandrart who interpreted the composition as a genre scene showing the ferry boat to Antwerp setting off from the quay. Description The painting is derived from the story in Matthew 17:24-27 which recounts Jesus asking the apostle to go to the lake at Capernaum to throw out his line and open the mouth of the first fish he would catch. Jesus assures Peter he will find a four-drachma coin in the fish's mouth. The coin was needed to pay the local temple tax, which every Israelite was required to pay to the temple in Jerusalem. The Gospel story does not itself recount the story of Peter following up on Jesus' instruction and catching the fish. Jordaens has depicted the biblical scene as an event occurring in 17th-century Flanders. The composition shows two groups of people: on the left people are on a ferryboat which is setting off and on the right is a group with a man (Saint Peter) pulling a fish from the water and looking at the coin he has found in its mouth. Only the apostles on the right surrounding Peter are concerned with him and his find. All passengers on the ferry are just minding their own business and do not pay any attention to the miraculous find that is occurring on the shore. The gunwale of the ferryboat is only just clear of the water as the boat is heavily loaded with animals and passengers of all ages and nationalities. Within the group on the boat can be distinguished a man hoisting the sail and another one pushing the boat from the shore with an oar. They are stocky, muscular men solely wearing loincloths. Behind them watching their work and huddled together are several persons, one of them a child crying because his apple has fallen into the water. The group on the boat includes an African man, possibly a trader, in an exotic turban and with a white horse. It must be windy as two persons are holding the rims of their hats to prevent them from flying away as the boat violently sets off. The scene on the boat with its lively crowd is the centre piece of the composition. It overshadows the scene on the right which is being watched from the boat by a peasant leaning on his cow. He is the only one who is not affected by the violent jerk, because he is witnessing the miraculous event on the share. He is looking at the large coin which a swarthy fisherman holds in his hand after finding it in the mouth of a large fish which he is still holding with his other hand. This almost naked fisherman is sitting on the jetty while four men who are no different from the rest of the people in the boat, either, are bending over him to see the coin, with expressions of amazement. The painting is a very decorative piece, with figures who are clearly distinguished in character and posture. The groups are well composed and connected. The scene is lively and full of movement. The brushwork is rather superficial and the light and palette are varied and harmonious. History of the painting The work was painted by Jordaens in Antwerp between 1616 and 1634. The work was in the private collection of Louis de Geer or Gier (II) (originally from Liège) at Finspång Castle in the 17th century. It was brought to Finspång Castle by either Louis de Geer II or Louis de Geer III in 1695. It was in the early 20th century in the private collection in Stockholm/Mogård of the Swedish politician Axel Ekman. It was acquired from him in 1912 by the National Gallery of Denmark.

Naematelia is a genus of fungi in the family Naemateliaceae. All Naematelia species are parasites of other fungi (Stereum species) and produce anamorphic yeast states. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies), when produced, are gelatinous and are colloquially classed among the "jelly fungi". Four species of Naematelia are currently recognized worldwide. One species, Naematelia aurantialba, is commercially cultivated for food. Taxonomy History Naematelia was introduced in 1816 by Elias Magnus Fries for fungal fruit bodies having a gelatinous outer layer and a hard inner core, as in the type species Naematelia encephala. The name was subsequently used by some mycologists, whilst others considered Naematelia synonymous with Tremella since its basidia were Tremella-like. In a 1961 paper, American mycologist Robert Bandoni showed that the hard inner core of Naematelia encephala was largely comprised of host tissue (Stereum sanguinolentum) and that Naematelia therefore represented no more than a Tremella species and its host. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has however shown that Tremella is polyphyletic (and hence artificial). A different generic name was therefore required for a group of species not closely related to Tremella mesenterica (the type species of Tremella) and in 2015 Naematelia was selected as the earliest such name available. Comparatively few species, however, have yet been sequenced. Description Fruit bodies are gelatinous (but may have a hard inner core mainly composed of host hyphae) and are variously cephaliform (like a brain, with folds and ridges), lobed, or foliose (with leaf-like or seaweed-like fronds). Colours are typically pinkish, ochraceous, yellow, or brown. Microscopic characters Naematelia species produce hyphae that are clamped and have haustorial cells from which hyphal filaments seek out and penetrate the hyphae of the host. The basidia are "tremelloid" (globose to ellipsoid, sometimes stalked, and vertically or diagonally septate), giving rise to long, sinuous sterigmata or epibasidia on which the basidiospores are produced. These spores are smooth, globose to ellipsoid, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells. Conidiophores are often present, producing conidiospores that are similar to yeast cells. Habitat and distribution Species are parasitic on fruit bodies of Stereum species that grow on dead attached or fallen wood. Hosts include Stereum hirsutum on broadleaf trees and Stereum sanguinolentum on conifers. As a group, Naematelia species occur worldwide, though individual species may have a more restricted distribution. Species and hosts References Tremellomycetes

Les Princes et la Princesse de Marinca (English: The Princes and the Princess of Marinca) is a French-Canadian fairy tale from Gaspésie published by Canadian folklorist . Summary A prince gets lost in his own realm and reaches a house, where three orphan sisters are talking: the elder wants to marry the royal gardener, the middle one the royal baker and the youngest the king. The youngest marries the king and, while, he is away at war, gives birth to a little girl, "the most beautiful under the sun", with a golden sun on her left shoulder. Her jealous sisters take the girl and cast her in the sea. The next year, the queen gives birth to twin boys, "the most beautiful under the sun", one with a golden moon on his left arm, the other with a silver star on his right arm. Years later, they are sent for a bird that speaks, a tree that sings and plays music and a jug of golden water. By pouring down the jug into a basin, a fish will come out with glass scales, glistening like mirrors. Analysis Tale type The tale corresponds to tale type ATU 707, "The Three Golden Children", of the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index, which is known in Franco-Canadian sources as Les Trois Fils dorés ("The Three Golden Sons"). According to folklore scholar Stith Thompson, the French-Canadian variants represent one of three traditions of tale type 707 that occur in America, the others being the Portuguese and Spanish. Scholarship points that the French oral repertoire of fairy tales was "well implanted" in North America and Canada, with many regions producing several variants of the tale type. At least 25 variants are reported to have been collected from francophone North America. More specifically, Canadian and Franco-Canadian folklorists report 30 tales recorded in the archives of the Laval University. This led Canadian folklorist Edith Fowke to state that the type was "quite popular among French Canadians". Variants Professor Marius Barbeau collected a variant from French Canada (Québec), from teller "Mme. Prudent Sioui", from Lorette, and published it in the Journal of American Folklore. In this tale, titled Les Soeurs Jalouses ("The envious sisters"), three sisters, daughters of an old couple, complain that their parents are old and frail and wonder about their future, planning to find good husband for themselves. The next day, the prince overhears their talk: the elder one wants to marry a baker, the middle one a butcher and the youngest the prince. The prince summons them to their presence and marries them to their respective husbands of choice. The youngest sister, now a princess, gives birth to a boy, "more beautiful than anyone else in the world", who the aunts replace for a monkey. The boy is cast into the sea in a box, but he is saved by an old man who collects flotsam for a living, and adopted by the old man and his wife. Professor collected and published two other French-Canadian variants: La Barriere verte ("The Green Barrier") and Les trois enfants perdus ("The Three Lost Children"). In the first tale, three brothers marry three sisters, and the third couple is already expecting a child, to the envy of the other two. The children are cast into the other and, when adults, must seek "L'eau qui bouille, l'arbre qui chante et l'oiseau qui dit tout" ("the water that boils, the tree that sings and the bird that teils everything"). In the second tale, the youngest sister promises to give birth to triplets: a boy with the moon on the forehead, another with a star, and a girl from whose hair falls money. They are cast into the water, are rescued by a peasant couple and seek "the rose tree with all kinds of roses", from "the Garden of the End of the World", "water that boils in all colors and a blackbird that tells all truth". In a variant by teller Isaïe Jolin, L'Oiseau de Vérité ("The Bird of Truth"), a king's son is asked by his father to find a wife. The prince then rides a chariot to look for potential brides and stops by a humble house, where a poor man dwells with his two daughters. The prince is invited to dine with them. He returns twice and asks the prettiest daughter in marriage. She consents and promises him she will bear the most beautiful children, their names written in gold on their backs, along with their parents' names. She gives birth to three children (a boy and two girls), who are cast in the water by her sister, who also forges a letter with a command to arrest the princess. The three children are saved by a king from another realm. The sisters send their brother, Tit-Jean, for a golden apple that makes one richer than the king. Tit-Jean obtains the apple, which begins to play "the best music there is" and produces money. Next, he seeks the olive tree branch that sings and the bird of truth that only tells truths. Author collected two tales from teller Joseph Patry, from Lac Saint-Jean. In the first one, titled L'oiseau vert ("The Green Bird"), a pair of siblings named Julie and Jean (Ti-Jean) leave home with four galettes and go into the forest. They survive by eating roots and berries, until they find an old oman who begs for a bit of food to eat. The siblings give the women some of their galettes and she rewards them with a magic cane. The siblings use the cane to summon a génie and command the creature to build them a palace overnight. The next day, the queen, who lives in a nearby palace, admires the beauty of the palace that suddenly appeared and tells Julie that their abode it magnificent, albeit lacking the rosebush that feels and the green bird. Although he classified it as type 707, the collector noted that it was a truncated version of the tale. In the second tale from Joseph Patry, titled Le deux bessons ("The Twins"): a princess named Rosa prays to God to give her twins, a boy with a sun on his belly and a girl with the moon. This tale lacks the usual abandonment of the children and the quest of the other variants, but was still classiified as type 707. Carmen Roy collected another variant from Gaspésie with the title Le vieux fermier. In a variant from Newfoundland, collected from a Mrs. Kerfont and titled The Bluebird, the twins, a boy and a girl, are raised by a white bear and sent on a quest for "a blue bird in a golden cage". Germain Lemieux's collection Québécois folklorist collected from teller Maurice Prud'homme a tale titled Les Trois Vieilles Filles ("The Three Old Maidens"). In this tale, the third sister wishes to marry the king himself. She does and gives birth to three children in three consecutive pregnancies: two boys and a girl, all with "great beauty". They are rescued by the gardener and his wife. Years later, they are told of the treasures by a passing old man with long beard: the singing olive branch, the talking bird, the shining glass ball and the curtain made of golden mist. The old man explains that the golden mist appears from a stream of golden water that flows from the base of the olve branch. In another tale published by Lemieux with the title Belle-Étoile, collected from teller Alfred Simard, three sisters live a humble life with their ailing mother, who worries for their future. The three sister find work in a hotel. The prince, his vizier and his aide-de-camp stay at the hotel for a night and listen to the sisters' conversation: the youngest, named Marie, wishes to marry the king and promises to bear him a beautiful daughter named Belle-Étoile, with a star on the front and golden hair; the middle one wants to marry the vizir and bear him a boy named Beau-Jour, and the oldest the aide-de-camp and to bear him a boy named Chéri. Their wishes are fulfilled and marriages are arranged. The old queen mother, however, hires a sorceress to take the children and cast them in the sea. The three cousins grow up together and become proficient at playing instruments. For this, the sorceress convinces Belle-Étoile to find a singing apple that plays every kind of music and a speaking bird. In another tale published by Lemieux with the title L'oiseau de vérité, collected from teller Celine Sirois, the three sisters are invited by their neighbours to a celebration. They lose their way, but end up near the prince's mansion. They admire his beauty and social rank and tell each other what they will do if they marry the prince, the youngest promises to give him twins, a boy with the image of the moon, and a girl with the image of the sun. Years later, both twins are sent for four willow trees that produce music, water that rejuvenates and the bird of truth. In another tale, collected from teller Jos Hudon with the title Le Prince de Marinka, a young prince finds a girl lost in the woods, takes her in and marries her. With time, she gives birth to a boy "of marvellous beauty" with an effigy of a golden sun on his left arm, and the next year a girl "with unparalleled beauty" with a golden sun on her left breast. The queen mother, their grandmother, tries to get rid of them. They survive and are sent for a wonderful lake with a magical golden fish, and a golden bird that sings. In a tale collected from teller Joseph Tremblay with the title L'arbre chanteur... L'oiseau parleur... ("The Singing Tree... The Talking Bird..."), the tale begins like tale type ATU 709, "Snow White": a woman tries to kill her own daughter with the help of her fairy godmother, but she fails and her daughter survives. In the second part of the tale, the Snow White-character marries a king and her sisters-in-law are the antagonists. The queen gives birth to two sons and a daughter in three consecutive births, who are taken from her by the sisters-in-law and cast in the water. They are saved by a miller and years later they are sent for a golden fountain, a tree that sings and a bird that talks.

Naematelia aurantia (synonym Tremella aurantia) is a species of fungus producing yellow, frondose, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies). It is widespread in north temperate regions and is parasitic on another species of fungus (Stereum hirsutum) that grows on dead attached and recently fallen branches of broadleaf trees. It is commonly called golden ear in North America. Taxonomy Tremella aurantia was first published in 1822 by German-American mycologist Lewis David de Schweinitz, based on collections from North Carolina. In 1921, the species was transferred to Naematelia by Edward Angus Burt, but remained better known as Tremella aurantia until molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, showed that Naematelia was a distinct genus. The epithet aurantia means "golden". Description Fruit bodies are gelatinous, bright yellow, up to 15 cm (6 in) across, and lobed to frondose (like seaweed). Microscopically, the hyphae are clamped and occur within a dense gelatinous matrix. Haustorial cells arise on the hyphae, producing filaments that attach to and penetrate the unclamped hyphae of the host. The basidia are tremelloid (spherical to ellipsoid, with oblique to vertical septa), 13–14 by 9–13 μm, sometimes stalked. The basidiospores are subglobose to ellipsoid, smooth, 5.5–9.5 by 4.5–7.5 μm, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells. Similar species Naematelia aurantialba is a very similar species cultivated for food and medicine in China. It was only described in 1990 and differs largely in microscopic details. Tremella mesenterica is a widespread, north temperate fungus that also has bright yellow, gelatinous fruit bodies, but parasitizes the mycelium of Peniophora species, often on dead attached twigs. Habitat and distribution Naematelia aurantia is a parasite of Stereum hirsutum, growing on and often completely enveloping host basidiocarps.

Tulio Botero Salazar, C.M. (Manizales, March 9, 1904 — Medellín, March 1, 1981), was a Colombian ecclesiastic of the Catholic Church, belonging to the Congregation of the Mission . He was Auxiliary bishop of the Archdiocese of Cartagena, first bishop of the Diocese of Zipaquirá and archbishop of the Archdiocese of Medellín. Life and work Early years He was born in Manizales on March 9, 1904. His parents were Francisco Botero Jaramillo and Maria Francisca Salazar Jaramillo, both belonging to traditional Caldense families of Antioquian origins and cousins between them. Botero was baptized in the old Manizales Cathedral on March 13 of the same year, under the name of Francisco Tulio by Father Benjamín Muñoz. He did his primary studies with the Marist Brothers and his secondary (high school) studies with the Lazarist Fathers (Congregation of the Mission) in Santa Rosa de Cabal, Risaralda. After the death of his father, he retired from the Apostolic and studied law for a year at the Colegio del Rosario. He joined the community of the Lazarist Fathers and began the internal seminary (novitiate) on February 27, 1924, joining the community through vows in 1926. Priesthood and Episcopate He was ordained a Priest in Bogotá by Ismael Perdomo Borrero on December 19, 1931. Until 1934, he missioned in Cundinamarca with Father Nicanor Cid. From 1934 to 1941, he worked at the Popayán Seminary. From 1941 to 1948, he was director of the Internal Seminary and Director of students in Bogotá (headquarters of the Congregation of the Mission); simultaneously, from 1945, he was private secretary of the Apostolic Nunciature. In 1948 he was appointed rector of the Tunja Seminary. On May 7, 1949, he was named Titular bishop of Marida and Auxiliary bishop of Cartagena. He was consecrated in Manizales by Bernardo Botero Álvarez on August 14, 1949. He remained in Cartagena from September 7, 1949, to May 1952; From there, he passed to the newly created Diocese of Zipaquirá, when Pope Pius XII, through the Papal bull of May 1, 1952, appointed him as its first bishop. He took canonical possession of the Diocese on August 15 of the same year, thus beginning the new ecclesiastical jurisdiction. Because of his great devotion to the Virgin, Botero asked the Holy Father to declare her the patron saint of the new Diocese, under the title of the Assumption. Pius XII, accepting his request, issued the Papal bull of August 2, 1952, by which he appointed the Blessed Virgin of the Assumption as Patron of the Diocese. Among Botero's priorities for the new Diocese was the Council Seminary; thus, on December 8 of the same year, he blessed and laid the first stone for the construction of his headquarters and, on February 24, 1953, he opened the Minor Seminary under the direction of the Vincentian Fathers. To help in the solution of certain economic problems of some seminarians, he created the «San Pio X Foundation»; to help the presbytery, he created the "Clergy Relief Fund." His interest in Catholic education led him to support and encourage the creation of Diocesan Colleges in most parishes; his love for Mary and his desire to promote Marian piety led to the first Marian Congress being held in August 1954. Because of his interest in the spiritual formation of the faithful, he established a Diocesan House called "House of Mary Immaculate"; he also promoted the foundation of the San José Social Center for the comprehensive training of workers. In support of the peasants, he created the Casa Campesina Parroquial with its own statutes. In July 1956, he organized the first Diocesan Catechetical Congress with the participation of all the parishes, and ended his pastoral work in the Diocese with the first pastoral week in December 1957. On December 8 of that same year, he was appointed to the Archbishop's Headquarters of Medellín, of which he took possession on February 2, 1958. Botero Salazar participated as Council Father in the four sessions of the Second Vatican Council. He was one of the forty bishops who signed the Pact of the Catacombs of Domitilla, through which they committed to sharing time with the poor, assuming a simple lifestyle and renouncing all symbols of power In Medellín, he reformed the archdiocesan curia; he built the current building of the Major Seminary in the Loreto sector; allowed the entry of various religious communities; held the third Diocesan Synod; He had Miguel Antonio Medina Medina and Octavio Betancourt Arango as auxiliary bishops and Alfonso López Trujillo as coadjutor archbishop, who later succeeded him at the See. He established 124 parishes; he personally ordained 158 priests and the other bishops ordained 45 more priests; that is, in his administration, 203 priests were ordained in total. He handled the crisis of the 1960s. He promoted the Faculty of Theology at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana and allowed seminarians to study at said university; he founded the Bachilleres seminary, which lasted forty years. He established Casa Pablo VI in 1971 and gave it statutes in 1977, for special vocations of students who had to work to financially support their families. In 1979, after 21 years at the head of the Episcopal See of Medellin, his resignation was accepted due to his age. He died on March 1, 1981.

Naematelia encephala (synonym Tremella encephala) is a species of fungus producing pink, brain-like, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies). It is widespread in north temperate regions and is parasitic on another species of fungus (Stereum sanguinolentum) that grows on dead attached and recently fallen branches of conifers. In the UK, its recommended English name is conifer brain. Taxonomy Tremella encephala was first published in 1801 by Dutch mycologist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, based on an earlier description by Carl Ludwig Willdenow who had described the species from Germany as Tremella encephaliformis. In 1818, it was selected by Elias Magnus Fries as the type species of Naematelia, a new genus proposed by Fries to accommodate fungi having gelatinous basidiocarps with a hard or compact core. It was not until 1961 that this central core was shown by American mycologist Robert Bandoni to be the remains of the host fungus, Stereum sanguinolentum. The epithet encephala means "brain", with reference to the shape and colour of the basidiocarps. Description Fruit bodies are gelatinous, dull pale pink to yellowish pink, up to 3 cm (1 in) across, and brain-like (compact and densely folded) with a hard, whitish core when cut. Microscopically, the hyphae are clamped and occur within a dense gelatinous matrix. Haustorial cells arise on the hyphae, producing filaments that attach to and penetrate the unclamped hyphae of the host (abundant in the central core). The basidia are tremelloid (spherical to ellipsoid, with oblique to vertical septa), 13–20 by 12–17 μm, usually unstalked. The basidiospores are mostly subglobose, smooth, 6–11 by 5.5–9 μm, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells. Habitat and distribution Naematelia encephala is a parasite of Stereum sanguinolentum, growing on and often completely enveloping host basidiocarps. Following its host, fruit bodies are typically found on dead, attached or recently fallen branches of conifers. The species has a north temperate distribution and is known throughout North America, Europe, and northern Asia. It has also been recorded from Australia.

Days of Rage: The Young Palestinians is a documentary film produced by Jo Franklin-Trout about Palestinian views on the Israeli occupation, first aired on PBS in 1989. The film stirred controversy in the United States. Production The documentary was filmed in the occupied territories in the summer of 1988, during the First Intifada. Broadcast After months of delays, the film was first broadcast on September 6, 1989, by about 300 PBS stations throughout the US. Kenneth Bialkin, president of New York's Jewish Community Relations Council, and other members of the JCRC described the film as "anti-Israeli propaganda." After an agreement between WNET-TV and Bialkin and other Jewish leaders, the 90-minute film was aired with an hour of "wraparound" programming designed to "counterbalance the film's anti-Israeli stance," including a panel discussion with Seymour Reich, James Zogby, Richard Murphy, and Walter Ruby. The 2 ½ - hour program aired under the title "Intifada: The Palestinians and Israel." Reception The New York Times published on August 31, 1989, before the film was aired nationally on PBS in September, that "screenings of ''Days of Rage'' around the United States have provoked protests from Jewish and human-rights organizations. Many journalists, though, have said the film, while biased, presents information about the uprisings not easily available to American television viewers."

Nathalie Elma d'Esménard was a French artist, botanical illustrator, and student of Pierre-Joseph Redouté. Biography Nathalie d'Esménard was born in Paris on 6 September 1798 to Joseph d'Esménard, a French politician, and Jeanne Adolphine Kalegraber. At age three, her parents had another daughter, Inès d'Esménard, who would also go on to become a painter, though one who specialized in portrait miniatures. Soon after, her father was killed while travelling in Italy. Nathalie would go on to become a student of Pierre-Joseph Redouté, an esteemed botanical illustrator. As a student, she displayed the influence of Redouté in the realm of botanical illustration in her use of detail, color, and design. Her works would be put on exhibition twice in the Parisian salons, in 1822 and 1827, where they were received positively. Nathalie married Baron Antoine Renaud, a field marshal and recipient of the Legion of Honour, and several of her paintings were signed with her married name of "Renaud". However, Baron Renaud died and left Nathalie a widow. On 25 February 1843 she remarried to a man named Pierre de Ricordy from a patrician family in Nice. She died in Nice on 15 December 1872 at the age of 74. Art Nathalie primarily painted botanical depictions of flowers and other flora. She used mainly watercolor, but also oil, on canvas and vellum. Selected works The following are several paintings by Nathalie d'Esménard: Noisette Rose: 1823, copy of Redouté's Rose le Philipp Noisette Narcissi and pansies: 1823 A rose, anemone, mignonette and daisies: 1824 Camellia japonica (Camellia): 1826 A spray of violas and primulas A spray including single roses, violas and cineraria References French women artists Botanical illustrators 1798 births 1872 deaths

Curry, a spicy Asian-derived dish, is a popular meal in the United Kingdom. Curry recipes have been printed in Britain since 1747, when Hannah Glasse gave a recipe for a chicken curry. In the 19th century, many more recipes appeared in the popular cookery books of the time. Curries in Britain are widely described using Indian terms, such as korma for a mild sauce with almond and coconut, Madras for a hot, slightly sour sauce, and pasanda for a mild sauce with cream and coconut milk. One type of curry, chicken tikka masala, was created in Britain, and has become widespread enough to be described as the national dish. The first Indian curry house opened in London in 1810. More followed early in the 20th century; Veeraswamy, founded in 1926, is the oldest surviving Indian restaurant in Britain. By the 1970s, over three-quarters of the Indian restaurants in the country were owned and run by people of Bengali origin, mainly from the Sylhet area. National dish Curry is very popular in the United Kingdom, with a curry house in nearly every town. Such is the popularity of curry in the United Kingdom, it has frequently been called its "adopted national dish". It was estimated that in 2016 there were 12,000 curry houses, employing 100,000 people and with annual combined sales of approximately £4.2 billion. The food offered is Indian food cooked to British taste, but with increasing demand for authentic Indian styles. As of 2015, curry houses accounted for a fifth of the restaurant business in the U.K. but, being historically a low wage sector, they were plagued by a shortage of labour. Established Indian immigrants from South Asia were moving on to other occupations; there were difficulties in training Europeans to cook curry; and immigration restrictions, which require payment of a high wage to skilled immigrants, had crimped the supply of new cooks. History The first curry recipe in Britain was published in The Art of Cookery made Plain and Easy by Hannah Glasse in 1747. The first edition of her book used only black pepper and coriander seeds for seasoning of "currey". By the fourth edition of the book, other ingredients such as turmeric and ginger were called for. The use of hot spices was not mentioned, which reflected the limited use of chili in India — chili plants had only been introduced into India around the late 16th century and at that time were only popular in southern India. Many curry recipes appeared in 19th century cookery books such as those of Charles Elmé Francatelli and Mrs Beeton. In Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management, a recipe for curry powder contains coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cayenne, mustard, ginger, allspice and fenugreek; although she notes that it is more economical to purchase the powder at "any respectable shop". Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, curry grew increasingly popular in Britain owing to the large number of British civil servants and military personnel associated with the British Raj. Following World War II, curry became even more popular in Britain owing to the large number of immigrants from South Asia. Curry has become an integral part of British cuisine, so much so that, since the late 1990s, chicken tikka masala has been referred to as "a true British national dish". Curry house In 1810, the entrepreneur Sake Dean Mahomed, from the Bengal Presidency, opened the first Indian curry house in England: the Hindoostanee Coffee House in London. Before then, curry had been served in some London Coffee Houses. The first modern "upscale" Indian restaurant in Britain is thought to have been The Shafi in 1915, followed by Veeraswamy in London's Regent Street, founded in 1926; the latter is still standing and is the oldest surviving Indian restaurant in Britain. Bengalis in the UK settled in big cities with industrial employment. In London, they settled in the East End, which for centuries has been the first port of call for many immigrants working in the docks and shipping from east Bengal. Their regular stopover paved the way for food and curry outlets to be opened up catering for an all-male workforce as family migration and settlement took place some decades later. Brick Lane in the East London Borough of Tower Hamlets is famous for its many curry houses. Until the early 1970s, more than three-quarters of Indian restaurants in Britain were identified as being owned and run by people of Bengali origin. Most were run by migrants from East Pakistan, which became Bangladesh in 1971. Bangladeshi restaurateurs overwhelmingly come from the northeastern division of Sylhet. Until 1998, as many as 85% of curry restaurants in the UK were British Bangladeshi restaurants, but in 2003 this figure declined to just over 65%. The dominance of Bangladeshi restaurants is generally declining in some parts of London and the further north one travels. In Glasgow, there are more restaurants of Punjabi origin than any other. In the early 2010s the popularity of the curry house saw a decline. This has been attributed to the sale of this style of food in generic restaurants, increased home cooking of this style of food with easy supermarket availability of ingredients, and immigration restrictions brought in from 2008 making the availability of low-wage chefs and other staff difficult. Regardless of the ethnic origin of a restaurant's ownership, the menu is influenced by the wider South Asian cuisine, and sometimes cuisines from further afield, such as Persian dishes. Better quality restaurants make up new sauces on a daily basis, using fresh ingredients wherever possible and grinding their own spices. More modest establishments may resort to frozen or dried ingredients and pre-packaged spice mixtures. Varieties Restaurants in Great Britain use Indian terms to identify popular dishes. Although the names derive from traditional Indian dishes, the recipes have often been adapted to suit western tastes. Representative names include: Balti – a style of curry thought to have been developed in Birmingham, traditionally cooked and served in a cast iron pot called a balty. Bhuna – medium, thick sauce, with some vegetables. Biryani – spiced rice and meat cooked together and usually served with vegetable curry sauce. Dhansak – in the curry house, it may be made with either lamb or chicken and frequently contains pineapple. Dopiaza – medium curry containing onions which have been both boiled and fried. Jalfrezi – onion, green chili and a thick sauce. Kofta – dishes containing meatballs (most frequently lamb or beef), or vegetable meat-substitutes (most often ground nuts). Korma – mild, yellow in colour, with almond and coconut powder. Madras curry – "the standard hot, slightly sour curry at the Indian restaurant." Pasanda – a mild curry sauce made with cream, coconut milk, and almonds or cashews, served with lamb, chicken, or king prawns. Pathia – a hot curry, generally similar to a "Madras" with the addition of lemon juice and tomato purée. Phaal – "the hottest curry the restaurants can make. There is nothing like it in India – it is pure invention." Roghan josh – a medium-spicy curry, usually of lamb/beef with a deep red sauce containing tomatoes and paprika. Sambar – medium-heat, sour curry made with lentils and tamarind. Tandoori, Tikka – dry pieces of tandoori chicken and chicken tikka, spiced and cooked in the tandoor, a cylindrical clay oven. Vindaloo – generally regarded as the classic "hot" restaurant curry. References Curry British cuisine National dishes
Pseudotremella is a genus of fungi in the family Bulleraceae. All Pseudotremella species are parasites of other fungi and produce anamorphic yeast states. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies), when produced, are gelatinous and are colloquially classed among the "jelly fungi". Four species of Pseudotremella are currently recognized worldwide. Two of these species are, as yet, only known from their yeast states. Taxonomy History Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has shown that Tremella is polyphyletic (and hence artificial). In 2017 the new genus Pseudotremella was proposed to accommodate a group of species that resemble Tremella species morphologically, but are only distantly related to the latter genus. Description Fruit bodies (when present) are gelatinous, white to amber or violet, and pustular to cephaliform (like a brain, with folds and ridges). Microscopic characters Pseudotremella species produce hyphae that are typically clamped and have haustorial cells from which hyphal filaments seek out and penetrate the hyphae of the host. The basidia are "tremelloid" (globose to ellipsoid, sometimes stalked, and vertically or diagonally septate), giving rise to long, sinuous sterigmata or epibasidia on which the basidiospores are produced. These spores are smooth, globose to ellipsoid, and germinate by hyphal tube or by yeast cells. Conidiophores are often present, producing conidiospores that are similar to yeast cells. Habitat and distribution Species are parasitic on wood-rotting fungi in the phyla Ascomycota, specifically those that occur on dead attached or fallen branches. As a group, Pseudotremella species occur worldwide, though individual species may have a more restricted distribution. Species and hosts References Tremellomycetes
Irreligion in Latvia pertains to atheism, agnosticism, and lack of religious affiliation in Latvia. Irreligious thought in Latvian history is associated with national identity and a period of Communist rule. The irreligious make up a significant minority group in Latvia today, with 29% of Latvians identifying as irreligious. History Secularism in Latvia first became notable during the formation of a Latvian national identity in the 18th century, when German influences such as Christianity came in conflict with romantic nationalism influenced by ancient Latvian culture. Irreligious ideas as a whole became more prominent in the 19th and 20th centuries with the spread of irreligious ideologies like freethought and socialism. Religious education was the main issue faced by irreligion in Latvia during the early 20th century, though marriage, divorce, and baptism also saw secular government regulation. Pēteris Stučka, Jānis Sudrabkalns and Andrejs Upīts were notable contributors to irreligious ideas during this period. Following Latvian independence in 1918, separation of church and state was established. Following the 1934 Latvian coup d'état, religion and irreligion were both restricted, with the church controlled by the dictatorship of Kārlis Ulmanis. After World War II, Latvia was occupied by the Soviet Union and state atheism was established. Latgale retained its Catholic character during this time, so attempts to spread atheist propaganda in this area were expanded in the 1950s. Over the course of Soviet rule, traditions and day-to-day life became increasingly secularized. Secular celebrations, such as kapu svētki and bērnības svētki, were introduced to replace Christian celebrations. After Latvia regained independence, the Constitution of Latvia established freedom of religion and separation of church and state. However, Christianity and Judaism are given extra legal privileges. Much of Soviet-era secularization has been reversed, and Christianity is still seen as a major component of Latvian culture in the 21st century. Demographics In 2018, 32% of Latvians identified as irreligious or undecided, with 15% of Latvians explicitly identifying as atheist. The region of Latgale has fewer irreligious citizens than other parts of the country, with a 2011 survey finding that only 5.8% of the population was irreligious. Below is a table detailing prevalence of irreligious belief in Latvia since 2000. See also Demographics of Latvia Religion in Latvia References Religion in Latvia Irreligion by country

The Minnesota–St. Cloud State men's ice hockey rivalry is a college ice hockey rivalry between the Minnesota Golden Gophers men's ice hockey and St. Cloud State Huskies men's ice hockey programs. The first meeting between the two occurred on 3 October 1987 but wasn't played annually until 1990. History While Minnesota and St. Cloud State both fielded varsity ice hockey teams since at least the early 1930s, the two programs never faced one another for over 50 years. Despite their campuses being just 65 miles apart, Minnesota was competing with the top tier colleges while St. Cloud were matched with the smaller schools. In the mid-80s, the administration at St. Cloud State decided to raise the profile of their college and hired legendary Gopher coach, Herb Brooks to head the team in 1986. He led the Huskies to their first ever NCAA Tournament appearance and, though he left for the NHL after the year, he set the program on the road to Division I play. The team was promoted to DI the following year and played their first game at that level against Minnesota. After a few years of playing as an independent, St. Cloud joined the WCHA in 1990 and the two programs became conference rivals. The two played several times each season afterwards, with Minnesota carrying the balance of play for several years. Beginning in 1997, the two teams began facing one another with regularity in the conference playoffs. From '97 through '09, the Huskies and Gophers met nine times in the postseason. These frequent meeting had the effect of entrenching the rivalry between the two programs. After Minnesota and St. Cloud went their separate ways in 2013, the two were part of agreement to found the North Star College Cup, a Minnesota-based version of the Beanpot. The tournament didn't last long but both Minnesota and St. Cloud State continued their rivalry by scheduling one another in non-conference meeting more often than not. Game results Full game results for the rivalry, with rankings beginning in the 1998–99 season.

The 1475 Tenochtitlan earthquake (9 Cane of the Aztec calendar) was an earthquake that occurred in Ancient Mexico-Tenochtitlan (current Mexico City), during the reign of Tlatoani Axayacatl. Because it happened during Pre-Hispanic times, little is known about this earthquake, but it is considered to be perhaps the most significant of those dates. The only record appears in the Aubin Codex, and thanks to Spanish franciscan friar Juan de Torquemada who reported in his book, Monarquia Indiana according to the codex, that the earthquake "Was so strong that not only did many houses fall, but the mountains and mountains in many places they crumbled and fell apart". The Mexicas considered the earthquake as the prophecy of the end of their Empire. Earthquake Damage This earthquake left all the houses in the Valley of Mexico destroyed and caused considerable damage to the palaces and teocallis in the area. Several chinampas sank, the hills were washed away, crumbled and disintegrated, cracks were created in the earth and caused a Tsunami in Lake Texcoco. Epicenter and Magnitude SIMMSA geologists have carried out various studies which have determined that the possible epicenter of this earthquake would be in the current Cuajimalpa, due to local faults and with an approximate magnitude of 7.5 on the Richter scale.

His research interests include fatigue of materials, durability, damage mechanics, dynamics and vibration of structures, and fracture mechanics. He has authored the books Logic and Islam Part I: Faith issues: Answers to current questions; Logic and Islam Part II: Scientific issues; Mechanics of Adhesives in Composite and Metal Joints; Finite Elements In Fracture Mechanics and Dynamics and Vibration: An Introduction and has edited 25 books. Education Wahab received his BSc in Civil Engineering in 1988 and his MSc in Structural Mechanics in 1991 from Cairo University, Egypt. In 1995, he completed his PhD in Structural Mechanics from KU Leuven, Belgium and in 2008, he was awarded a Doctor of Science Degree from the University of Surrey. Career Wahab's academic appointments include being an Assistant lecturer of Finite Element Analysis at KU Leuven from 1995 to 1999. After that, he became a lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Surrey till 2003. From 2003 to 2008, he was a Senior Lecturer of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at University of Surrey. Then, at Xios University College Limburg, he was a Professor of Civil Engineering till 2009 From 2009, he joined Ghent University, where he is currently a Full Professor. Research Wahab's research focuses on finite element analysis, computational mechanics, fretting fatigue, fatigue of materials, durability, damage mechanics, fracture mechanics and dynamics and vibration of structures. Computational Mechanics In a paper for nonlinear transient analysis of smart piezoelectric functionally graded material (FGM) plates, Wahab and his team presented a generalized shear deformation theory in combination with isogeometric (IGA) approach. Using the total Lagrange approach based on the von Kármán strains, a nonlinear transient formulation for plates is formed which includes thermo-piezoelectric effects, solved with the Newmark time integration scheme while the electrical potential through the thickness of each piezoelectric layer is assumed to be linear. According to the Mori-Tanaka schemes and the rule of mixture, the material properties vary through the thickness of FGM. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, various numerical examples were presented. Using a novel numerical approach based on Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) and Higher order Shear Deformation Theory (HSDT), static, free vibration and dynamic control of piezoelectric composite plates integrated with sensors and actuators was investigated. The formulation fulfilled the high-continuity generalized displacements and the numerical studies showed good performance of the method used. Another study explored a new simple fur-unknown shear and normal deformation theory (sSNDT) for static, dynamic and buckling analyses of functionally graded material (FGM) isotropic and sandwich plates and in the relation between pain and stress, the fully three-dimensional material matrix is used. Through the Galerkin weak form, the discrete system of equations is derived and isogeometirc analysis (IGA) is used to numerically solve it. This required the C1-continuity of the displacement field and the condition is easily satisfied by the NURBS basis functions in IGA. Many examples are shown to illustrate the efficiency of the method used. To study the size dependent analysis of functionally graded carbon nano-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) nanoplates, a computational formulation was used based on IGA and generalized higher-order shear deformation theory (GHSDT). When compared to the other available numerical approaches used, the numerical results from this study prove high accuracy and reliability of this particular method. In another paper studying the size-dependent geometrically nonlinear transient analysis of functionally graded material (FGM) nanoplates, IGA integrated with high-order shear deformation theory (HSDT) was used. Wahab and his team investigated the effect of the resulting nonlocal approach on the behaviours of the FGM nanoplates with several volume fracture exponents and performed several numerical results to prove the reliability of the method used. Fatigue of Materials Wahab and co-workers proposed and compared different techniques to derive dynamic bending stiffness of the experimentally determined modal characteristics of a reinforced concrete beam. As a result of the cracking of the reinforced concrete, there is degradation stiffness which provides information the severity and location of the damage that has taken place. They investigated the effect on the fatigue behaviour of CFRP/epoxy lap- strap joints by the test environment and pre-conditioning and it was found that the there was no significant variation observed in the fatigue resistance of the lap-strap until the glass transition temperature, Tg was approached, which is when a significant reduction in the fatigue threshold load could be seen. There is also a considerable reduction in the Tg of the adhesive because of the absorbed moisture and the locus of failure was observed to be highly temperature dependent. Another outcome was that the crack grew along the lap-strap joint, and the resolution of the forces at the crack tip had the tendency to force it into the strap adherend, possibly resulting in complex mixed mode fracture surfaces. In a paper, Wahab presented a literature review of articles published in the Web of Science from 1975 to 2011 on fatigue in adhesively bonded joints. There are about 222 cited articles reviewed and presented and the paper is concluded with highlighting topics important for future research. Damage Assessment Wahab studied the effect of temperature variations on modal parameters recorded at two different times in a prestressed concrete highway bridge. To excite the bridge, a drop weight and ambient vibration were used and to support and verify the dynamic measurements, a finite element model was developed. The effect of the resulting changes in temperature were analysed and interpreted on the structure's natural frequencies. In an investigation of the long-term durability of adhesively bonded aluminium, composite and dissimilar substrate joints exposed to humid environments, the failure of the joints was modelled with a cohesive zone model (CZM) approach. In the dissimilar substrate joints, large residual stresses were induced because of the mismatch of coefficients of expansion of the substrates. The residual strength of the double lap joints was overestimated due to the predicted degradation which was possibly because of residual stress-enhanced degradation mechanism. Islamic Studies Besides Wahab's research in engineering, he has conducted research in the Islamic religion. Over the past 15 years, he has been an Associate Imam and has also delivered Friday Ceremony speeches and Islamic talks in many mosques in the UK and Belgium. Wahab also authored the book Logic and Islam Part I: Faith issues: Answers to current questions. He authored a second book in this area Logic and Islam Part II: Scientific issues in 2020.

Eugène Pluchart (Russian: Евгений Александрович Плюшар, 1809, Saint Petersburg - c. 1880, Dresden) was a Russian painter and photographer of French ancestry. Biography His father, , was a typographer, originally from Valenciennes, who moved to Russia in 1805; becoming Director of publications for the Collegium of Foreign Affairs. His mother, Sophie Henrietta, née Wagner (1782-1857), was German. His older brother, , also went into the publishing business. He began his artistic studies in 1825, at the Beaux-Arts de Paris, with Louis Hersent. This was followed by a study trip to Italy. From 1828 to 1832, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, then returned to Russia. His painting of an odalisque earned him the title of "Academician Candidate" from the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1836. Three years later, he became a full Academician for his portrait of the composer and violinist, Karol Lipiński. From 1840 to 1842, he lived in Moscow, where he was a professor at the . He specialized in portraits of well-known personalities, predominantly female, but also created a number of frescoes at Saint Isaac's Cathedral in the 1840s. During the 1850s, he operated a photography studio. He left Russia sometime between 1860 and 1862, and settled in Dresden; his mother's home town. Not long after, he briefly considered returning to Saint Petersburg, to repair his frescoes, which had been damaged by dampness, but chose not to. Very little is known of his later years.

The Long Island Cup is a multi-team lacrosse tournament among the four Division I college lacrosse programs located on Long Island, New York. It consists of Hofstra University and Long Island University in Nassau County, Stony Brook University in Suffolk County and St. John's University in Queens County, which is part of the geographical definition of Long Island but not the cultural one. Stony Brook is the only public school involved in the tournament. The first edition of the tournament was held in 2022 at Hofstra's James M. Shuart Stadium and was won by Stony Brook. The winner of the tournament is said to be the champions of Long Island lacrosse, earning bragging rights over its regional rivals. The tournament has been compared to the Beanpot, an annual ice hockey tournament involving the same group of four Boston schools since 1952. Format The four teams that participate in the Long Island Cup are: Hofstra Pride LIU Sharks St. John's Red Storm Stony Brook Seawolves History St. John's head coach Chris Miller brought up the concept of a midseason Long Island lacrosse tournament to Hofstra's head coach Seth Tierney. Soon after, LIU's head coach Eric Wolf and Stony Brook's head coach Anthony Gilardi were added to the text chat planning the tournament. The tournament appealed to the program's coaches because of the ability to promote the sport of lacrosse on Long Island through high school student attendance, media coverage and rotating host schools. However, there were concerns about how tournament would restrict the number of local teams that each school could play, and concerns about the future uncertainty caused by the 2021–22 NCAA conference realignment with Stony Brook joining Hofstra in the Colonial Athletic Association beginning in 2023. In the inaugural 2022 Long Island Cup, LIU beat Hofstra 14–11 in the semifinals; it was LIU's first win over Hofstra since 1987, when LIU was known as C.W. Post. Stony Brook beat St. John's 17–10 in the other semifinal. Stony Brook won the first-ever Long Island Cup by beating LIU 10–6 in the championship game.

Fertility fraud is the failure on the part of a fertility doctor to obtain consent from a patient before inseminating her with his own sperm. This normally occurs in the context of people using assisted reproductive technology (ART) to address fertility issues. The term is also used in cases where donor eggs are used without consent and more broadly, to instances where doctors and other medical professionals exploit opportunities that arise when people use assisted reproductive technology (ART) to address fertility issues. This may give rise to a number of different types of fraud involving insurance, unnecessary procedures, theft of eggs, and other issues related to fertility treatment. Types Although the main sense of fertility fraud is non-consensual insemination of a patient by her doctor, there are many other types of fertility fraud, and it can take place at various stages of fertilization: Competing for patients via misleading information about success rates, either in advertising or during personal interviews Performing an ART procedure not covered by insurance, and then billing for a different procedure Performing unnecessary or futile procedures on patients who are misinformed or poorly informed False claims of pregnancy, followed by assertions of fetal death Misuse of sperm, eggs, and embryos, in particular, a health care person substituting their own sperm for donor sperm Inadequate screening of donors Embezzlement from sperm banks, or theft of human eggs ("egg-snatching") or embryos, or use of eggs without consent Egg theft One of the earliest cases involved egg theft occurred in 1987 at Garden Grove California, in a clinic run by Doctor Ricardo Asch. Asch took eggs from women undergoing diagnostic procedures and used them in fertility procedures in other women. An estimated 67 women were victims of egg or embryo theft. Doctor Ricardo Asch along with two partners were accused of taking eggs and embryos from patients without their consent, and using them to cause pregnancies in other women, along with defrauding insurance companies. Thirty-five patients filed legal actions against him. Insemination fraud There have been numerous cases of a health care provider fraudulently substituting their own sperm for donor sperm, resulting in pregnancy and birth. The first "test tube baby" was facilitated by Robert Edwards in 1978, and he allegedly used eggs without the consent of the women involved. In 1980s in Virginia, at least seven instances were identified in which fertility doctor Cecil Jacobson was the biological father of his patients' children, including one patient who was supposed to have been inseminated with sperm provided by her husband. DNA tests linked Jacobson to at least 15 such children, and it has been suspected that he fathered as many as 75 children by impregnating patients with his own sperm. Donald Cline used his own sperm in his fertility practice in Indianapolis the 1970s and 1980s to father dozens of children. This came to light in 2014, when home DNA test kits were proliferating, and led to the discovery of Cline having used his own sperm to fertilize his patients' eggs. Because there was no law concerning the practice in Indiana, he was charged with obstruction of justice, false advertising, and immoral conduct, and lost his license to practice medicine. The first law in the United States came into effect in 2019 in the State of Indiana as a result of this case. Similar cases were found in other states, including one doctor in Virginia who fathered 75 children, but he couldn't be prosecuted because no law existed in Virginia prohibiting it. Legal status In the United States, medical students in the 1960s and 1970s donated sperm, and later while trying to develop their practice as a physician, may have gone on to use their own sperm in order to establish a track record of success. There were no laws on the books at the time prohibiting such activity. Hundreds of children have been fathered by non-consensual insemination worldwide by their physician, including in the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands, but without specific laws outlawing it, the legal consequences are unclear. Sometimes other laws related to the fertility fraud are used against the physician, such as mail, travel, or wire fraud, while others face civil suits. Some physicians have faced ethics charges by the governing bodies of their profession and lost their license to practice medicine. Activists have pushed for legislation that would make fertility fraud a crime, and as of February 2022, seven U.S. states have passed laws, and seven others were considering it. Scope In the United States, over fifty fertility doctors have been accused of fraud in connection with donating sperm.

Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea is the soundtrack to the 2021 Malayalam-Tamil language historical war film of the same name directed by Priyadarshan. The film features five songs composed by Ronnie Raphael, whilst the original score is composed by Rahul Raj, Ankit Suri and Lyell Evans Roeder. The album features lyrics written by Prabha Varma, B. K. Harinarayanan, Shafi Kollam for the Malayalam version, and Priyadarshan, R. P. Bala, Samji for the Tamil version, whereas the lyricists for the dubbed versions are: Vennelakanti (Telugu), Aniruddha Sastry, Vybhav M (Kannada), Nawab Arzoo and Ishtiaq Feroz (Hindi). The album released through Saina Music on 1 August 2021. Composition Score The original score was composed by Rahul Raj, Ankit Suri and Lyell Evans Roeder. Suri and Roeder, composers of Alternative Fidelity, a British-American music production house were hired to compose the score for battle sequences in the film. It was also their debut in Malayalam cinema. A few months later, Rahul Raj, who freshly graduated from Berklee College of Music was hired to independently compose and produce the rest of the score. Raj was chosen by Priyadarshan after being impressed watching a video of him conducting a 52-piece London orchestra as part of his thesis in Berklee. While scoring, Raj avoided giving a regional touch to the music which would have been easier for a film set in Malabar, as Priyadarshan was clear that he was making a film which caters for a global audience and it should resonate in its music too. Deviating from his usual norm, Priyadarshan gave full creative freedom to Rahul Raj for scoring, who is known for giving references and definitive instructions to his composers. His only instruction was to imagine as if he is working for a Hollywood epic and compose with that on mind. Raj wanted a soundscape that could bring an epic feel as in films produced during the golden age of Hollywood. He mentioned Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments as examples. Beside composing, Rahul Raj also performed programming and production entirely by himself as opposed to have additional programmers in many regular film scores. The Chennai Strings Orchestra played string pieces for some of the significant portions. Songs The original songs in Malayalam were composed by Ronnie Raphael. In the initial stage, Priyadarshan planned only fours songs in the film, with one being instrumental. His plan was to experiment by diving three songs to three composers. However, all songs were finally given to Raphael. Raphael had composed music for Priyadarshan's Hindi film Anamika in the Forbidden Love series, after which he was offered the position in Lion of the Arabian Sea too. He composed five songs for the film. Recording began as early as November 2018 when filming had not begun. The songs were sung by K. S. Chithra, M. G. Sreekumar, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Shweta Mohan, Shreya Ghoshal and Zia Ul Haq, with lyrics by Prabha Varma, B. K. Harinarayanan, Shafi Kollam, and Priyadarshan. Saina Music acquired the music rights in February 2020 for an all time record sum in Malayalam cinema. Production In the initial stage, Priyadarshan planned only fours songs in the film, with one being instrumental. His plan was to experiment by diving three songs to three composers. However, all songs were finally given to Ronnie Raphael, who worked with Priyadarshan's film Anamika, a short segment in the anthology series Forbidden Love. He composed five songs for the film. Recording began as early as November 2018, even before the filming was started. The songs were sung by K. S. Chithra, M. G. Sreekumar, Vineeth Sreenivasan, Shweta Mohan, Shreya Ghoshal and Zia Ul Haq, with lyrics by Prabha Varma, B. K. Harinarayanan, Shafi Kollam, and Priyadarshan. Raphael stated that he was given to sing two or three songs, before being hired to compose the original songs. The following day, the first track "Kunju Kunjali" was recorded which was being a lullaby. For the track "Kannil Ente", Priyadarshan asked to include a Sufi version of the track. He first arranged the melody portion of the song which was well received by the director, and then he incorporated the Sufi version of the track later. All the tracks in the film were composed according to the periodic setting, except for "Ilaveyil". which was given a modern attempt. The tracks are arranged in such a manner that they intertwine with the story and context. As few sequences being set in China, a part of the storyline, Priyadarshan showed Raphael an Chinese music instrument which did not exist in the current time. As the sound was very hard to crack, he mixed the particular song using Ukulele and Keyboard for two of the tracks. Marketing and release The music rights of the film were purchased by Saina Video Vision, based subsidiary audio label Saina Music, thereby becoming the highest bid and a record for Malayalam film. On 10 February 2021, the first single track "Kunju Kunjali", sung by K. S. Chithra was released in all languages. The flute cover of this track, performed by Josy Alappuzha was released on 22 February 2021, through YouTube, and was later released on digital music platforms on 3 March 2021 as a track in the album. The song teaser of the second track, "Kannil Ente" was released on 24 March 2021, whereas the full song was released a week later, on 31 March 2021. The third track "Chembinte Chelulla", sung by Vishnu Raj was released in all languages on 21 May 2021, marking Mohanlal's birthday. The full album was released on digital music platforms on 1 August 2021. On 10 November 2021, the theme of "Marakkar" composed by Rahul Raj, was launched through streaming platforms and also on YouTube.
