The B-ration (officially Field Ration, Type B) was a United States military ration consisting of packaged and preserved food intended to be prepared in field kitchens by cooks. Its modern successor is the Unitized Group Ration – M (UGR-M), which combines multiple types of rations, including the B-ration, under one unified system. The B-ration differs from other American alphabetized rations such as the A-ration, consisting of fresh food; C-ration, consisting of prepared wet food when A- and B-rations were not available; D-ration, consisting of military chocolate; K-ration, consisting of three balanced meals; and emergency rations, intended for emergencies when other food or rations are unavailable. Overview Field rations such as the A-ration, B-ration, and emergency rations consisted of food items issued to troops operating in the field. Like the A-ration, the B-ration required the use of trained cooks and a field kitchen for preparation; however, it consisted entirely of semi-perishable foods and so did not require refrigeration equipment. As of 1982, the B-ration consisted of approximately 100 items which were issued in bulk and packaged in cans, cartons, pouches, and other packing material. An individual ration had a gross weight of 3.639 pounds, measured 0.1173 cubic feet, and could supply approximately 4,000 calories. B-rations were organized into a ten-day menu cycle which ensured a variety of different meals each day and could be altered as the service needed. The advantage of the B-ration was that it provided balanced nutrition in all climates and individual components could be easily substituted with fresh foods when they became available, a practice highly encouraged to avoid food monotony. However the meals could not be made without trained cooks and required significant investment. Preparing a meal for 100 personnel using B-rations required two to three hours for two cooks to prepare (plus additional personnel to help with serving and clean-up) and on average 75 gallons of potable water. Unitized Group Ration M The modern equivalent to the B-ration is the Unitized Ground Ration – M, formerly called the Unitized Ground Ration – B. It is distinct from other forms of UGR, such as the UGR-H&S, in that it consists of dehydrated ingredients with an intended recipe in mind, as opposed to precooked or preassembled meals. Unlike the B-ration, the UGR-M is only issued to the United States Marine Corps. References Military food of the United States

Uncommon Valour is an omnibus edition book containing two historical novels by John Stevens: The Frigate Captain and Broad Pendant. It was published by Jada Press, a small vanity press in Florida, in June 2005. The two novels, written in the epistolary style, tell the story of John Sinclair and William Mason, two Royal Navy officers during the American Revolution and runs from February through September in 1779. An epilogue to the main stories — appearing only in the omnibus — looks back on the events from the vantage point of 1852. The Frigate Captain The "Frigate Captain" by John Stevens is a historical novel set in 1779. Published in 2005 as the first half of an omnibus edition titled Uncommon Valour. It follows the adventures of John Sinclair and William Mason, two Royal Navy officers, their friends and family. Sinclair is the English Captain of the frigate Sapphire just returning to sea after a wound that nearly killed him. Mason is the loyalist American Commander of the sloop-of-war Paladin. Other important characters are Mason's young wife Jennifer (Willis) Mason, his older brother Richard Mason III, younger brother Stephen Mason and younger sister Tara Mason; Sinclair's physician and best friend Fred Bassingford, his gigantic Scottish cox’n MacGregor, and the treacherous French Captain Montaigne. Plot The tale follows Sinclair as he readies his ship for sea, while crossing the Atlantic he encounters Mason returning to England with a key French spy, Leveque, as his prisoner the same man who had murdered Sinclair's wife sixteen years earlier. The two men strike up a friendship and Sinclair offers Mason the run of his estate while he recovers from a wound suffered while capturing Leveque. Upon reaching Portsmouth Mason is surprised to find his younger brother Stephen, who had run away from home on a merchant vessel, and takes him under his wing. They travel to White Oaks, the Sinclair family estate in Thornbury, and settle in. While there Mason becomes involved in the hunt for Benjamin Willis, his wife's cousin and heir to the Willis Woolen Mills, who had embezzled money bankrupting the firm and fled with his mistress. Mason aids his friend and brother-in-law, Captain Michael Gilmore, in saving the mills. In America Jennifer Mason has established an identity in New York as the widow of a young naval officer and from this position she acts as an agent for Admiral Lord St. John's intelligence network, aided by her friend Mary Stewart, the wife of Mason's cox’n Nicholas Stewart and under the supervision of her brother-in-law Dick Mason. When Dick receives word that his wife, also an agent, has been killed Jennifer leaves the spy business and starts doing charity work with the wives of the soldiers stationed in New York. Soon after her sister-in-law Tara Mason, worn down by caring for her father who had lost touch with reality following his wife's death two months earlier, comes to stay with them. Mary and Jennifer slowly begin nursing her back health while Dick sets sail for England in search of answers to his wife's murder. While en route to New York, Sinclair captures the French frigate Enchanté captained by Henri-Albere Montaigne. Upon his arrival in the city he calls on Jennifer Mason and meets Tara, sparks fly between the two almost immediately despite a 24-year age difference. When Sinclair is attacked by three ruffians and seriously wounded Tara nurses him back to health and a deep abiding love blossoms between the two. Back in England Will Mason has been promoted to Junior Post Captain and appointed to command the frigate Vanessa as a reward for his part in Leveque's capture. While he and Stephen are in London, Dick Mason meets up with them and then returns to Thornbury with them. There he learns that his wife Lucy survived the attack in February but was severely injured and has been in hiding since on the White Oaks estate. Investigations reveal that her attacker was none other than Benjamin Willis who was paid to kill her. The Mason brothers and their allies track Willis down in London; he is killed while attempting to escape but not before revealing that the man behind the attack on Lucy was her trusted bodyguard Lloyd, who was in fact a Spanish double agent. Dick swears to track the man down and someday bring him to justice. In America, Sinclair, his wounds largely healed, returns to his ship but continues his romance with Tara. Shortly thereafter Montaigne escapes and with the aid of two hired confederates captures Tara and takes her to the Yankee prison on Pollepel Island at West Point where he intends to have her executed as a traitor and spy. Sinclair and a small force of picked men, including Bassingford and MacGregor, ride after them and arrive barely in time to save Tara from rape at the hands of the prison guards. They manage to occupy the prison but they are cut-off within its walls, awaiting relief from two regiments that were following them north. Dr. Bassingford and Sinclair tend to Tara's wounds, primarily a dislocated shoulder, badly abused feet and psychological trauma. Once she seems more her old self Sinclair proposes to Tara and she accepts, but all is not sunshine for the northbound soldiers are being harried by skirmishers and slowed to a crawl while supplies within the prison are running out. Montaigne has convinced the Americans that they are all English spies and taunts them with threats of what he intends for Tara in French which none of the Yankees speak. But he is found out when George Washington and one of his aides arrives on the island. Incensed at such dishonorable behavior Washington sends the vile Frenchman home in disgrace and he and Sinclair, whom he had met years earlier, negotiate the release of the prisoners. They arrive in New York to find Tara's father, Richard Mason Jr., recovered and awaiting them, he gives his consent to their engagement as the story ends and it is clear that the two men are well on their way to being fast friends. The story is picked up in Broad Pendant, the second half of the omnibus. Broad Pendant Broad Pendant by John Stevens is a historical novel set in 1779. Published in 2005 as the second half of an omnibus edition titled Uncommon Valour. It continues the adventures of John Sinclair and William Mason, two Royal Navy officers, their friends and family. Sinclair is the English Captain of the frigate Sapphire on station in New York. Mason is a loyalist American Captain newly appointed to command the frigate Vanessa outfitting at Plymouth. Other important characters are Sinclair's fiancée Tara Mason who is Will Mason's younger sister, Will's wife Jennifer (Willis) Mason, father Richard Mason Jr., his older brother Richard Mason III, younger brothers Robert and Stephen Mason; Sinclair's physician and best friend Fred Bassingford, his gigantic Scottish cox’n MacGregor, and Patrick Franklin, Captain of the frigate Predator. Plot The tale picks up exactly were the previous volume, The Frigate Captain, left off with Mason at the Sinclair family estate of White Oaks following the death of his wife's treacherous cousin, Benjamin Willis, and Sinclair in New York following the action at Pollepel Island. Mason meets Captain Patrick Franklin and learns that he and Vanessa will be part of the escort for a convoy that will actually be carrying General Lord Cornwallis back to America, where he will take up a new command, aboard his brother Dick's Indiaman Resolute Star. The convoy assembles in Ireland and sets sail in early June. Along the way trouble ensues aboard Vanessa. Will has taken his lay about brother Robert, a naval lieutenant, into his company but only as a Master's Mate, and has rated his younger brother Stephen a Midshipman. Stephen has been working hard and is fitting in well, but Robert is sullen, resentful, insubordinate, sneering toward his juniors and at times even violent — particularly to Stephen. His insolence to the newly commissioned third lieutenant earns him a sharp reprimand, but when he appears on deck both naked and roaring drunk Will has no choice but to have him flogged, much as he hates it, and cuts off his grog ration for the remainder of the voyage. Cut off from the rum Rob shows all the signs of being addicted to alcohol. Will and his devoutly religious Sailing Master, Elijah Boyd, work to cure him of his dependence on rum but it is slow going. In New York rumors have begun that Sinclair and the others at Pollepel Island escaped by bartering secrets to General Washington. The first rumors suggest that he gave away shipping timetables but the stories rapidly escalate to passwords, signals and finally that the whole affair at Pollepel was nothing but a smokescreen for a clandestine meeting between Sinclair and Washington where the captain was paid £20,000 for betraying his country. After investigating, Sinclair becomes convinced that the man behind it all is Colonel the Honorable Charles Courtenay whom he had, had a disagreement with when the later had taken passage to America aboard Sapphire several months earlier. Together with Major Collins of the Provost Marshal's office they lay a trap to tempt Courtenay into revealing himself. The desperate gamble works, thinking Sinclair on his deathbed from a poisoning attempt Courtenay brags about having hired the three ruffians that attacked Sinclair when he first arrived in New York, slipping Capitaine Montaigne the knife that he used to escape in June, precipitating the affair at Pollepel Island, and having started the rumors and passed the secrets on to rebel agents; then done with his gloating, Courtenay attempts to smother Sinclair to death. But the poisoning story is a sham and Sinclair gives Courtenay the severe thrashing that he has earned. Major Collins, who had heard every word from the next room, arrests Courtenay for High Treason and Sinclair and his fiancée Tara are re-united. At sea the convoy is nearing the American coast when the rebel frigate Lexington, formerly the Mason Line Indiamen Brave Star, under Mason's rebel cousin Geoff Quinn, attempts to slip into the convoy but is recognized and chased off by Vanessa and the sloop-of-war Sandfly. Shortly after the convoy drops anchor in New York and Mason boards Sapphire with sealed orders from Admiral Lord St. John: Captain Sinclair has been appointed Commodore over a squadron consisting of Sapphire, Predator, Vanessa, Sandfly and the former French frigate Enchanté which Sinclair had captured in April and was now renamed HMS Enchanted; the squadron is to seek out and destroy a combined American/French frigate squadron that has been wreaking havoc among loyalist shipping for months. Sinclair posts his first lieutenant, Bartholomew Jones, to command Enchanted and he immediately begins working up his crew. At a party given in honor of Sinclair's hoisting his broad pendant Robert Mason shows up drunk and proceeds to insult everyone there. He is confronted in succession by Tara, Will, his father, and finally Sinclair before being confined to Vanessa. The next day Sinclair comes aboard and delivers both a painful thrashing and an acid-tongued dressing down that leaves Rob battered and both ashamed and repentant. With Mr. Boyd beside him he begins the long road back from the brink of damnation where he had teetered and reconciles with his family. When news reaches New York of the enemy whereabouts the squadron sets sail for the long overdue confrontation while at the same time escorting the Mason ships Resolute Star and Star of Honour much of the way to the safety of the Mason home at Halifax. The squadron reaches the rebel base at Machias Bay but finds only two of the expected five enemy ships at anchor. Braving the fire of several shore batteries Sinclair attacks, laying a bombardment from offshore with his large ships while the smaller ones sweep inshore and engage the enemy directly. The French frigate Magicien is captured but not before battering Predator into a hulk, while the American brigantine Diamondback is sunk. Sinclair orders Franklin to transfer to the captured Magicien, soon renamed HMS Jaguar, scuttle Predator at the harbor mouth and with Sandfly in company to sail for Halifax with the prisoners as soon as possible, while he takes the rest of the squadron and searches for the other enemy vessels. Robert, who has acquitted himself with honor, is raised back up to lieutenant to fill a vacancy the action has left aboard Enchanted. The next day the squadron's lookouts sight Resolute Star and Star of Honour being pursued by the remaining ships of the enemy squadron. Ordering the Mason ships to break off to the south Sinclair engages immediately. Enchanted faces off against the Yankee frigate Queen of France and manages to send her to the bottom with the aid of a well-timed rake from Sinclair, Mason and Vanessa engage Lexington and manage to board and capture her with the aid of Enchanted. Mason and his cousin square off in a duel when Quinn refuses to surrender, with Mason emerging triumphant, but in the melee Robert is badly wounded saving Stephen's life. The big French frigate Arronbourge is battered badly in action with Sapphire but manages to slip away in the gun-smoke and fog when Sinclair breaks off to answer Mason's request for Dr. Bassingford's aid. Despite his best efforts he is forced to amputate Robert's right hand and some of the forearm, shattered by a Yankee pistol ball, thus ending the naval career that he had only just reclaimed. Once the squadron arrives at Halifax, the dockyard puts their damages to rights while the officers and crew make the rounds of several parties in their honor. Franklin undergoes a court martial for the loss of Predator but is speedily acquitted of any wrongdoing. The Masons prepare to leave Canada behind, relocating to England, and soon the squadron accompanied by Resolute Star and Brave Star, now back in Mason hands after Sinclair buys her himself and presents her to Richard Mason, are sailing eastward for the British Isles. But there is yet a final obstacle in their way. There have been rumblings of war with Spain for months and now it has come. The squadron encounters three big Spanish frigates escorting three troopships in the St. George Channel bound for Ireland. Recognizing that the Spanish must be intending to ferment a rebellion in a land that was already sympathetic to the American cause Sinclair orders the Mason ships to sail south and engages at once. In a fierce battle two Spanish frigates are taken and the last one is sunk although Captain Jones is seriously wounded and Sandfly’s Commander Boothroyd is killed. Once their escorts have been defeated the troopships lower their colors. Arriving in Bristol, Sinclair is knighted by His Highness Prince Edward Henry, Duke of Gloucester. The novel ends with the wedding of Sir John Sinclair and Tara Mason on the grounds of White Oaks two weeks later.

The Imperial Oil Building, now known as Imperial Plaza, is a skyscraper located at 111 St. Clair Avenue West in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The 21-storey building was completed in 1957 as the headquarters of Imperial Oil, Canada's largest oil company. The building's design had previously been rejected for a proposed new Toronto City Hall. After several decades of use as the head office of Imperial Oil, the building was sold in 2010 and converted into a condominium apartment building. Description The building sits atop a high escarpment with a commanding view to the south, and before the construction of the downtown banking towers in the late 1960s, the top floor observation deck was, at almost 800 feet (244 metres) above sea level, the highest point in Toronto; on a clear day visitors could see the rising spray from Niagara Falls, across Lake Ontario. The interior layout in its office days was based on the 'core' concept, with most offices having windows and with the various service elements (elevators and meeting rooms) clustered in the center. With its thick walls, relatively small windows, a built-in cafeteria, a location separated from major targets, and large offices that could be converted to wards, the IOB was designed to be used, in the event of nuclear attack, as an alternative hospital. The ground floor lobby features a famous mural, "The Story of Oil", executed by York Wilson in 1957. Three years in the planning and construction, the two panels of the diptych are each 25 feet by 32 feet; the left-hand side of the mural depicts the nature of oil from its prehistoric origins, while the right-hand panel portrays the modern benefits of its exploitation. The mural is made of vinyl acetate and is mounted to the wall in such a way that vibrations in the building will not be transmitted to the artwork, possibly causing it to crack. In addition, a ventilation system behind the same wall prevents moisture collecting on the material. Crawley Films of Ottawa was engaged to document the artwork's realization. A three-part mural by Oscar Cahén was completed in 1956, for the building's staff lounge and dining facility on the eighth floor. These were abstract compositions in bold, bright colours, one with a sun motif. Painted on canvas, two sections were de-installed in 1979 and are now owned by the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Ontario. As of 2014, they await conservation and a permanent home. The third section was lost. History The architectural model for this building was originally a proposed design for a new Toronto City Hall. However, Nathan Phillips, Toronto's mayor in 1955, rejected the Mathers and Haldenby design for city hall and opened the commission to an international competition that was eventually won by Finnish architect Viljo Revell. Imperial Oil, in search of a design for their Toronto head office, bought the design from Mathers and Haldenby. During construction, catering to the wealthy local residents, welding was used, rather than the then-customary and much noisier riveting technique. The building, on completion, was the largest all-welded steel frame building in the world. When Imperial Oil assembled the residential properties for the site, Isabel Massie, owner of a house at 59 Foxbar Road, on a long angular lot at the rear of the site, refused to sell, despite being offered up to $100,000 for her house, at the time a princely sum. As a result, Imperial Oil had to move its building closer to St. Clair Avenue than planned. Until she died in 1964, her property jutted into the Imperial Oil parking lot, an icon of a citizen's refusal to give in to a corporation. Her heirs sold the house for $70,000 to Imperial Oil, which demolished it to expand the parking lot. The last traces of Isabel Massie's house, roughly across the street from 38 Foxbar Road, were dug up in 2012 when the subsequent owner excavated for an underground parking garage. Closure As announced in a press conference on September 29, 2004, Imperial Oil re-located to Calgary, Alberta (some corporate operations moved to the Esso Building at 90 Wynford Drive in the Don Mills district). Thereafter, the building was unoccupied for several years. Soil testing before the property was listed for sale found that sand about 40 feet below the eastern part of the parking lot was contaminated with heating oil that had leaked from an underground storage tank. The soil was then excavated and replaced. In preparation for the sale, Imperial Oil told Deer Park United Church next door that they would no longer supply building heat to the church, effective July 2008. This led the dwindling congregation to vacate the church building and share space with a nearby Presbyterian congregation (Calvin Presbyterian Church) which had split off from the original Deer Park congregation in the mid 1920s. The church building remains vacant as of late 2016, but it is slated for incorporation into a new condominium development, named "Blue Diamond". Imperial Plaza The Imperial Oil building was sold in the summer of 2010 to condominium developer Camrost-Felcorp, which then began converting it into a condominium apartment building. At the same time, the church building next door was sold to a related developer, who subsequently sold a major interest to Camrost-Felcorp. The Imperial Oil building is now known as "Imperial Plaza". In addition to residential condominium units, the building includes an LCBO store and an upscale grocery store on the main floor. The developers secured the City of Toronto's approval for a second tower near the southeast corner of the site, a third tower replacing most but not all of the former Deer Park United Church building, and 17 townhouses along the Foxbar Road frontage. As of February 2017, the tower near the southeast corner is under construction, and its street address is 101 St. Clair Avenue West. It is planned as a 26-storey building that will contain 229 high-end rental apartment units.

Hannah Stranger (1600s – after 1679) was an English Quaker missionary and a supporter of James Nayler who was found guilty of blasphemy when he was tried by the English parliament. Life All the details of her early life are unknown. She comes to notice in 1656 when she and Martha Simmonds began singing to interrupt Francis Howgill and Edward Hubberthorne at a Quaker meeting. Martha had published her ideas about Quakerism including "O England, Thy Time is Come". This included some text by Stranger. In October she went with a group that included her husband John to request the release of James Nayler from the jail in Exeter. They had an authorisation obtained by Martha. Nayler was released and they then set out for Bristol via the towns of Wells and Glastonbury. The three of them were accompanied by six others including Martha and Thomas Simmonds and Dorcas Erbery. They entered Bristol on 24 October with Nayler on a horse with to his left and right Hannah and Martha Simmonds. They were all imprisoned and the local magistrates interrogated them before Nayler was dispatched to London to face trial for blasphemy. The evidence included letters that Hannah had written to Nayler where she called him "only begotten son of God" and "Prince of Peace". On one of the letters was a postscript by her husband where he suggested that Nayler should not be "James" but "Jesus". Their "confessions" were gathered and they also included those of Timothy Wedlock according to a contemporary account that also included the Quakers "damnable opinions". Nayler was tried in December but parliament had an interest, and they got involved in Nayler's trial. On December 27, Nayler's vicious punishment was made. This included having his tongue pierced with a hot spike and a B branded on his forehead. Hannah, Martha Simmonds and Dorcas Erbury were at the base of his pillory mirroring the three Mary's who were at Jesus's crucifixion. She later recanted her actions in writing on 2 November 1669 when she joined a Quaker meeting in Bristol. By this time she had remarried to Thomas Salter and she had two children. In 1671 she went to lobby the King for the release of Margaret Fell at the request of Fox. The details of her death are unknown. She was recorded to be in America in 1679 at Tokaney, Delaware.

Ahmadiyya is an Islamic branch in Nigeria under the caliph in London. Members of the organization are predominantly from Western Nigeria. As part of its social service scheme, the movement has built up to ten schools and two hospitals in located in Apapa and Ojokoro, Lagos. History Establishment The Ahmadiyya Movement was founded in British India by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, an Islamic reformist and mystic, who in 1891 claimed that he was a prophet, mujaddid (“renewer”), and the Messiah or Mahdi anticipated by Muslims. The Ahmadiyya Movement was formally organized in Lagos in 1916 but there are several, though not contradictory, versions of how Ahmadiyya came to Nigeria. One account has it that in 1913, one school teacher called Hamid stumbled upon a copy of the Review of Religion, a journal founded by the Ahmadiyya Movement in Qadian and started communicating with them. Another version has it that one Lagos businessman, Alhaji Ali Fahm traveled to Egypt in 1914 and got copies of Ahmadiyya literature which he brought to Nigeria, after studying which he and some of his friends wrote to the headquarters of the Movement in Qadian to declare that intention of becoming members of the movement. Alhaji Imran Adewuyi Onibudo was one of those who claimed to have taken the bia’ah (oath of allegiance) in 1914. Many pioneer members of the society were associated with the Muslim Literary Society in Lagos, headed by Muhammed Basil Agusto, a Lagosian of Afro-Brazilian heritage. Agusto had started a short-lived school for Muslims and had interest in creating awareness about Western education among the Muslim Jamaat. Between 1916 and 1919, Agusto was the focal point of the group, he published his own pamphlets to complement those he requested from Qadian and the movement's gatherings were predominantly held in his private residence. Agusto may have also influenced the entry of many Afro-Brazilians into the movement in 1919. In 1919, he was appointed its first president and was succeeded by Jibril Martin when Agusto traveled to London to earn a law degree. In London, he became acquainted with the Lahore faction, and he eventually left the Ahmadiyya movement. When he returned to Nigeria in 1924, he established his own group, the Islamic Society of Nigeria. 1920 - 1940 In the beginning, Ahmadi Muslims were challenged by orthodox Muslims, a cleric, Adamu Animashaun used his printing press to attack the movement, a sustained vitriol directed towards the Ahmadis was alleged to have caused an assault on members in 1921. Animashaun and other Muslims were found responsible for instigating hostilities against the Ahmadis and were handed three-month sentences in prison, thereafter physical confrontation against the members stopped. Among members closing the gap in education between Christians and Muslims in Lagos was one of their unifying interests. Adherents of the movement were among the earliest Lagosians to embrace Western education, two prominent members, Jibril Martin and Mohammed Agusto are the pioneer Muslim lawyers from Nigeria while another member, Abdul Hamid Saka Tinubu was the earliest trained Muslim doctor in the country. To promote its interest in education, in 1922, the movement established a primary school in Elegbeta, Lagos Island, Lagos. Prior to the establishment of the school, a request for an Ahmadi teacher from India was placed in 1921, Maulana Abdur Rahim Nayyar, a representative of the Ahmadiyya movement in colonial India and who was an associate of Ghulam Ahmad was sent to Nigeria as missionary in charge. Colonial authorities were initially suspicious about the presence of Nayyar within the fragile Muslim community in Lagos which had split into five groups, the Lemomu group, the Quranic group, the Ahmadis, Jamaat party, and the Ogunro group. Suspicions were doused after Nayyar gave an interview stating he was in Lagos to preach adherence to the customs written in the Quran and also to the laws of the colonial government. He delivered his first lecture at the non Ahmadi Shitta Bey mosque and was active in bringing in new members to the movement. Nayyar did not make inroads within the other factions with the exception of the Quranic group, primarily based in Okepopo and Aroloya. After an agreement to merge with Ahmadiyya, Imam Dabiri of the Quranic group was selected as Chief Imam. Dabiri was succeeded in the 1930s by Imam Ajose. Nayyar's stay in Lagos coincided with the establishment of additional branches in Ebutte-Meta and Epe. Movement activities commenced in Yaba in 1921, and within two years, members had established missions in Ibadan, Kano and Zaria. Expansion into Ado-Odo, Otta, Ijede and Ondo was completed by the mid 1930s. Between 1933 and 1940, internal wrangling caused a split within the mission into two factions. A group was loyal to Imam Ajose and another group was loyal to F. R. Hakeem a Pakistani and representative of the Khalifa who aspired to replace Imam Ajose as lead Imam. Unlike, Nayyar's mellow demeanor, Hakim was heavily involved in the affairs of the Ahmadi's and his presence caused dissension in the group. A faction surrounded Imam Ajose and sought some form of local autonomy while Hakeem wanted strict adherence to the Ahmadi doctrines. The Khalifa withdrew recognition of the Ajose group and in 1940, the Hakeem led Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission was formally inaugurated in the country with the support of the Khalifa. The Ajose group maintained the name, the Ahmadiyya Movement in Islam and the Hakeem group was launched with the name Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission later came to represent the core of the Ahmadi's in Nigeria. 1940 - 1970 After the split, both groups gained members within the Yoruba Muslim communities and also among Muslims in Etsako, Edo State and in Nasarawa. In Egbado division, the support of a local produce merchant led to the establishment of a mission in Ilaro. A plot of land was acquired in the Sabo area of town and on the land a mosque was built to hold jumat services and Quranic lessons for children. Proselytizing activities of this group strengthened a young mission in Abeokuta. A mission house located in Idumagbo was completed in 1945 and in 1951, the mission began distributing a weekly newsletter, The Truth, to proselytize the ideals of the movement. 1970 - present In 1970, Mirza Nasir Ahmad, the third Khalifa visited the country, he was hosted by in Lagos by General Gowon. Ahmad inaugurated a social service program to expand educational and medical facilities to be managed by the movement. He returned in 1980, this time not only meeting members in Lagos, Ilaro and Ibadan but members in other branches such as those in Benin and in Kano In the 1970's, the Imam Ajose group further split with a section renamed Anwar ul Islam. Since the split, the majority of Ahmadis in Nigeria are predominantly members of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Mission, the faction loyal to the Khalifa's choice of Hakeem as amir in 1940. In 1988, Mirza Tahir Ahmad, the fourth Khalifa visited the country, he appointed Abdul Rasheed Agboola as the first Nigerian Missionary in Charge. Organizational structure The movement's governance structure is led by the Amir also known as the Missionary in Charge, he is assisted by six deputy Amirs, in addition, there is a national executive committee which is replicated in local circuits. Nayyar, the first amir and missionary in charge had established a national executive committee in 1921. The national executive committee is composed of the Secretary-General, secretary in charge of Tabligh, auditor, treasurer and representatives of branches within the movement.

Circle of Love () is a 1964 French drama film directed by Roger Vadim and based on Arthur Schnitzler's 1897 play Reigen. The film generated minor controversy because of Jane Fonda's nude scene, the first by a major American actress in a foreign film. Synopsis In 1913, a sentimental Parisian prostitute offers herself freely to Georges, a handsome soldier, because he resembles her true love. Seeking to take advantage of all opportunities for lovemaking, the soldier seduces Rose, a lonely housemaid, and then goes off to make other conquests. Returning home, Rose allows her employer's son Alfred to make love to her. Encouraged by the experience, the young gentleman next makes love to Sophie, a married woman. Refreshed by the encounter, Sophie makes bold overtures to her stuffy husband Henri. Later, Henri takes a mistress who forsakes him for an author whom she hopes will write a play for her. Instead, he pursues Maximilienne de Poussy, an established actress with whom he had had an affair years before. He has little success, however, for the actress finds satisfaction only with young men, and she has a brief affair with the count, a young officer. Following their encounter, the count embarks on a night of wild revelry. In the morning, he is in the sentimental prostitute's apartment, who this time collects a fee for her services, and the cycle of love is now complete. Cast Marie Dubois as La fille / Die Dirne – the prostitute Claude Giraud as Georges / Der Soldat – the soldier Anna Karina as Rose / Das Stubenmädchen – the maid Jean-Claude Brialy as Alfred / Der 'Junge Herr' – the young man Jane Fonda as Sophie / Die 'Junge Frau' – the wife Maurice Ronet as Henri / Der Ehemann – the husband Catherine Spaak as La midinette / Das 'Süße Mädel' – the midinette Bernard Noël (fr) as L'auteur / Der Dichter – the author Francine Bergé as Maximilienne de Poussy / Die Schauspielerin – the actress Jean Sorel as Le comte / Der Graf – the young officer Denise Benoît as Yvette Guilbert Production After having recently directed the box-office hit Les liaisons dangereuses, Vadim took on another adaptation of a classic erotic text that became La ronde. As Vadim later said: When I make a picture about relations between people, something erotic comes through; I can't help it! But sex has been an inspiration, the greatest inspiration, since art exists. I don't mean pornography. But when I do something I like to go to the end with what I express. It is very difficult in France to talk about anything but sex! Politics, the army, the police, Catholicism - in that order. There is the influence of priests in censorship; no rule forbids you to discuss the church but they will stop you somehow. During filming, Jane Fonda began a romantic relationship with Vadim that continued for several years. Catherine Spaak later claimed that Vadim was so focused on Fonda during the making of the film that "everyone suffered." Reception The film was released in the United States as a dubbed version that Vadim loathed; this inspired him to make his next film, The Game Is Over, in both English and French versions. One French reviewer said that Jane Fonda had a "French accent a la Laurel et Hardy." The Guardian praised the film's color and production values but added "there is a vulgarity about Vadim's frequent fleshy close ups which compares sadly... with Ophuls' elegant chiaroscuro. Anouilh and Vadim stick closely to Arthur Schnitzler's original but the film is obviously embroidered with imagery of Vadim's creation - a visual superfluity." Writing in The Observer, Kenneth Tynan called the film "a masterpiece of colour photography" and "the nearest approach to an organised work of art that M. Vadim has yet directed." The movie was advertised in New York with an eight-story billboard in Times Square that displayed a nude Fonda. She subsequently sued the producers for $3 million. Fonda said: "To me it was a great big opportunity to do a beautiful comedy and my first costume picture," recalled Fonda. "They ruined it here [in the US]. That awful dubbed English. And that big poster of me, nude! Vadim resented it too." New York Times reviewer Eugene Archer called the film "a total debacle... a dull, pointless, ineptly acted vulgarization of a distinguished play, with nothing to recommend it beyond some attractive color photography." Awards The film was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Censorship In 1967, Vadim and five of the film's stars were charged with obscenity in Italy for the film's content.

The GBCT is a non-profit organization that serves as a representative body for camera technicians who work in the film and high-end television production industry worldwide. With approximately 450 members, many of whom are also affiliated with other moving image craft organizations such as the British Society of Cinematographers and the Association of Camera Operators, the GBCT operates out of Panavision London offices. Affiliations As a member of the Cine Guilds of Great Britain (CGGB), the GBCT does not act as a trade union. The relevant trade union for UK members is the Broadcasting, Entertainment, Communications and Theatre Union (BECTU). Other members of the CGGB include the British Society of Cinematographers (BSC), the society of British Film Editors (BFE) and the British Film Designers Guild (BFDG). In 2011 the GBCT joined with the BSC, GBFTE and BECTU to form a not for profit collecting society, Screen Craft Rights, to receive copyright payments from sales of film and TV productions to Finland, Germany, Norway and Sweden and distribute them to UK cinematographers, designers and editors. On 12 May 2020, the GBCT was one of four signatories on a statement related to Covid-19 safer working practices. Other signatories were the BSC, ACO and BECTU Camerabranch. The GBCT has a long-standing affiliation with the University of Arts London through the UAL Diploma provision. Camera craft Professionals in the industry have long recognised the importance of camera craft to finished films and television programmes, with specific awards for cinematography from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences the British Academy of Film and Television Arts as well as more craft specific awards such as The Operators Award, organised by the GBCT, the BSC and the Association of Camera Operators as well the Guild of Television Camera Professionals Awards for Excellence in Camerawork. The GBCT, along with CGGB, made representation to the UK parliaments Select Committee on Culture, Media and Sport in 2007 to ask for assistance in training existing technicians to deliver effective training to new entrants. History The Guild, as it is known colloquially among members and the industry, was formed in 1977 by focus pullers Terry Cole and John Deaton and camera operators Mike Fox and Geoff Glover who wanted to create a non-political association with an authoritative presence in the industry. Their intention was to create an organisation that protected the interests and aspirations of a growing freelance workforce while developing new talent and maintaining high standards.

(born June 24, 1955) is a Japanese economist and the Harold H. Helms '20 Professor of Economics and Banking at Princeton University. He is especially known for proposing several models that provide deeper microeconomic foundations for macroeconomics, some of which play a prominent role in New Keynesian macroeconomics. Career He received a B.A. from University of Tokyo in 1978. After receiving his doctorate in economics from Harvard University in 1985, Kiyotaki held faculty positions at the Univ. of Wisconsin–Madison, the Univ. of Minnesota, and the London School of Economics before moving to Princeton. He is a fellow of the Econometric Society, was awarded the 1997 Nakahara Prize of the Japan Economics Association and the 1999 Yrjö Jahnsson Award of the European Economic Association, the latter together with John Moore. In 2003, Kiyotaki was elected a Fellow of the British Academy (FBA), the United Kingdom's national academy for the humanities and social sciences. He is also a fellow of the European Economic Association. Thomson Reuters lists Kiyotaki among the 'citation laureates' who are likely future winners of the Nobel Prize in Economics. Kiyotaki also received the Stephen A. Ross Prize in Financial Economics together with John Moore. In 2020 he was awarded the BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the category "Economics, Finance and Management". Contributions In 1987, together with Olivier Blanchard, Kiyotaki demonstrated the importance of monopolistic competition for the aggregate demand multiplier. Most New Keynesian macroeconomic models now assume monopolistic competition for the reasons outlined by Blanchard and Kiyotaki. Later, Kiyotaki worked with Randall Wright to construct a model of the role of money, showing how money increased economic efficiency by permitting trade of many different types of goods which might not be traded under a system of barter. This model, which formalized William Stanley Jevons' insight about the double coincidence of wants as a barrier to economic activity under barter, has come to be known as the Kiyotaki–Wright model. In 1997, with John Moore, Kiyotaki constructed a model to show how small shocks to the economy might be amplified into large output fluctuations through the interaction between real estate prices and restrictions on the availability of credit. This model of 'credit cycles' is now known as the Kiyotaki–Moore model.

was a Japanese serial killer who killed his girlfriend's estranged husband and the latter's girlfriend in 1998, after being paroled from prison for a previous murder conviction in 1969. For the latter crimes, Nakayama was sentenced to death, but died in prison before the sentence could be carried out. Early life and first murder Susumu Nakayama was born on January 13, 1948, in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Little is known about his upbringing, by the time he was a young adult, he had moved to Kōchi and worked an unspecified job. At the time, he was known to hang around with a group of delinquents who, along with himself, were constantly short on cash, prompting them to start committing crimes. On March 16, 1968, Nakayama conspired with a friend of his to raid a gun shop in Otsu Village, from where they stole a total of four rifles and five airguns amounting to 117,500 yen. After that, he and several others decided to do a bank robbery, which they began planning sometime around January or February 1969. In order to carry it out, Nakayama raided several stores around Kōchi, stealing bullets and gunpowder and even torching one of the buildings down to cover his tracks. He and his accomplices then stole a car, and tested one of the rifles by firing a single shot at a public toilet in Kōchi. Finally, Nakayama attempted to steal a police officer's handgun, later claiming that "one boat of rifles is not enough to rob a bank." In response to the multiple crimes reported in the area, the Kōchi Prefectural Police established a special unit to deal with the incidents. At around 21:00 on March 15, 1969, Nakayama and two others ambushed a patrolling police officer near the Sagawa Police Station and shot at him with a rifle. Their timing was off, however, and the officer managed to escape unharmed. On the following day, the three men prepared rifles, bullets and machetes and went to Sagawa by car in search of more policemen, but were forced to turn back after they failed to find any. However, Nakayama, who was involved in a traffic accident just before departure and was being demanded to pay 23,000 yen in damages, came up with the idea of robbing a car somewhere near Takamatsu. Around 22:30, the trio were driving a car along National Route 23 near Kami when they stopped a 36-year-old motorist and threatened him with a .22-caliber rifle. When the man attempted to get help from passers-by, Nakayama fired one shot into his arm in an attempt to intimidate him. However, the man started to scream, prompting Nakayama to attempt to fire a second shot, which failed to discharge. He then fired a third shot which hit the motorist in the head, killing him instantly. The trio decided against stealing anything, and instead, put the victim's body in the car trunk, whereupon they transported it to a vacant lot in Kami, 900 meters away from the crime scene, and abandoned it there. The man's body was found at around 7:30 the following day, prompting officers from the local Yamada Police Station to form a special unit to investigate the murder. Initially, it was believed that the incident might be related to the recent shootings perpetrated by Norio Nagayama, but an examination of the shell casings ruled out that possibility. It was eventually established that Nakayama and the two accomplices were responsible for this crime, leading to their arrests not long after. At trial, the prosecutors requested the death penalty for Nakayama, pointing out that '[his] reckless behavior cannot be tolerated'. As a result, he was found guilty on the charges of murder, theft, and attempted arson and subsequently sentenced to death. His accomplices, 23 and 17, respectively, were sentenced to life imprisonment and 15 years imprisonment each. Nakayama later appealed the sentence to the Takamatsu High Court, which commuted his sentence to life imprisonment on the grounds that the murder was not premeditated and the rash decisions were the result of the defendant's naive personality. In that same ruling, his accomplices' sentences were also reduced to 15 and 12 years, respectively. After this, Nakayama spent approximately 18 years behind bars, mainly in Okayama Prison, from where he occasionally sent money to his victim's family members. He was released on parole in April 1991. Release and relationship Having acquired carpentry skills in prison, Nakayama became seriously involved in the construction industry after his release while keeping in touch with his parole officers. At the time, he worked predominantly in the Kantō region, but after January 1995, when he became involved in reconstruction work following the Great Hanshin earthquake, he permanently moved into his brother-in-law's house in Toyonaka, Osaka Prefecture. In the summer of 1996, Nakayama went to a coffee and snack bar near his brother-in-law's house, where he became acquainted with one of the female employees. Despite technically being married and with three children, the woman was estranged from her husband and started flirting with Nakayama, resulting in the pair beginning to date around November or December of that year. Around January 1997, Nakayama ended his work in the Kantō region and returned to his native Shinjuku, followed only a month later by his girlfriend and her third son, who found a job as a nurse in Adachi. Eventually, Nakayama broke up with another woman he was living with at the time, and sometime in May, he moved in to live with his girlfriend and her son in Adachi. At the time, the woman was discussing potential divorce proceedings with her husband over the phone, but the man showed no interest in the matter and stalled the negotiations. Nakayama's girlfriend then told him that her husband was not interested in divorcing her, alleging that he had beaten her and dated another woman in the past, causing Nakayama to grow disgusted with him. Around December 28, when the pair were traveling from Nakayama to Kōchi, they stopped by her husband's house in Toyonaka, where she found him sleeping in the same futon as his new girlfriend. When they woke up, the husband's girlfriend (hereinafter referred to as 'B') claimed that the husband (hereinafter referred to as 'A') could not get divorced because his wife did not sign the divorce papers. When questioned about this, A attempted to avoid the question while seemingly expressing interest in rekindling his relationship with his wife. His wife then left the house and returned to Nakayama's car, where she told him what had happened. Nakayama learned that if his girlfriend divorced her husband, she would have custody over her two older children, which would mean that they would move in with them. In response to this, his brother-in-law suggested that they renovate a house he owned in the city and turn it into a snack bar, which he would hand over to Nakayama. The construction work began on January 7, 1998, and the following February, Nakayama began looking for a new residence to accommodate his girlfriend and her children. In the meantime, the pair returned to Toyonaka with the youngest son in an attempt to continue negotiations on the divorce, staying overnight at the renovated snack bar. On the following day, Nakayama and his girlfriend went to A's house, but he was not there. They continued searching for him around the city until they found his car parked in a parking lot in front of a pachinko parlor near Shōnai Station. The pair asked the employees whether they had seen A, but the employees claimed that they had not seen him. Later that same evening, Nakayama's girlfriend was driving her car on the highway en route to Tokyo with her third son when A called on her mobile phone. In the conversation, he told her that he missed her and that he had taken out their older sons to a family restaurant, inviting her to join them. She accepted, but when the topic of divorce was brought up again, A was dismissive and indecisive. The talk lead nowhere, and after finishing their meals, the woman returned to Tokyo and explained the situation to Nakayama over the phone and face-to-face later on. Around January 29, Nakayama's girlfriend received a phone call from her husband, who claimed that he wanted to get back with her and that he intended to break up with his girlfriend. Upon hearing this, she immediately went to Toyonaka to hear his suggestion, whereupon A stated that he would temporarily hand the children over to B while he searched for a new residence to loan, pointing out that he would not accept Nakayama into the house. Upon returning to Tokyo and informing him of this, the relationship between Nakayama and his girlfriend became awkward. Double murder Around February 10, Nakayama went to search for A at least twice, skulking around the vicinity of B's residence. Four days later, he rushed back to Adachi and started talking with his girlfriend about breaking up with her, but gave up on the idea when she told him that she wanted to be with him. During this conversation, Nakayama revealed his criminal record to her, and after going to an interview with his parole officer with her, the pair returned to Toyonaka. Infuriated by A's refusal to divorce his wife, Nakayama planned to kill him. On the early morning of February 16, he gathered several spear-shaped knives from the snack bar and wrapped their handles with either black insulation tape or a towel painted with black ink. Then, with these knives, he got into a truck and staked out a residential area to ambush A, who failed to appear. Nakayama continued to survey the place for three more days until February 19, at around 1:30 in the morning, when he spotted A and B walking down the street. Upon seeing them, Nakayama rushed at A and repeatedly stabbed him in the neck and chest with a sashimi knife. When B started screaming for help, Nakayama proceeded to stab her multiple times with a sashimi knife and another smaller knife, causing her serious injuries. A was decapitated on the spot, while B was transported to a nearby hospital with one of the knives still stuck in her back, succumbing to her injuries soon afterward. At the time of death, the pair were 37 and 40 years of age, respectively. In the meantime, Nakayama attempted to flee in his truck, but was pursued by local residents and an off-duty police sergeant. He then collided with a minibike in a narrow alleyway, prompting him to abandon the truck and attempt to flee on foot, but was then caught by an off-duty police officer who had rushed to the scene after receiving an emergency call. Trial After his arrest, Nakayama was charged with two counts of murder, weapons, and parole violations. On August 7, 2001, his trial began at the Osaka District Court with presiding Justice Makoto Himuro. The Osaka District Public Prosecutor's Office announced that they would seek the death penalty, citing the accused's lack of remorse and callousness. On November 20, Nakayama was found guilty on all charges and sentenced to death. During the proceedings, he claimed that while he intended to make A suffer, he did not intend to kill him. His claims were rejected by the court, which determined that the depths of the wounds inflicted on the victims, the planned nature of the crime, the fact that it was committed while on parole and the apparent murderous intent contradicted them. Nakayama then attempted to appeal to the Osaka High Court, but the sentence was upheld by Justice Kazuo Hamai on October 27, 2003. His final appeal to the Supreme Court was also dismissed in a similar manner. Imprisonment and death After his conviction, Nakayama was placed on death row at the Osaka Detention House to await execution, but continued to petition the courts for a retrial. On June 11, 2013, he was diagnosed with esophageal cancer and transferred to the Osaka Medical Prison in December of that year. He succumbed to the effects of his illness on the night of May 15, 2014. In an inquiry form dated November 16, 2015, the Osaka Bar Association said that after being transported to the Osaka Medical Prison, the employees presiding over Nakayama failed to provide him with appropriate medication for his cancer. When queried for a reason, the prison administration gave no reply. In response to this, the association issued a statement on March 15, 2018, stating that Nakayama's human rights had been violated and that cancer patients should be given proper treatment, regardless of the severity of their crimes.

The Soledar Salt Mines (also called Artemsil Salt Mines after the State Enterprise Association Artemsil that operates the mines) are located in the city of Soledar in the Bakhmut Raion in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, which is controlled by Russia since the Battle of Soledar. The scale of the mines is vast, with of tunnels at a depth of , and many of the chambers are in height. The largest resembles a hangar of about length and width and height, and has accommodated soccer matches and the inflation of a hot air balloon. There are accommodation areas in the chambers and even a church. The temperature underground is constant at 14–15 °C, with 14.93 PSI air pressure and 60% humidity regardless of the time of the year, giving rise to claims of healing properties for lung conditions. History The mining of salt started in the town of Soledar in the 19th century. Russian invasion of Ukraine During the Battle of Soledar, on 10 January 2023, pro-Russian outlets, including Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, claimed the mines were largely occupied by Russian and Wagner Forces, although these reports were not independently verified. After the claimed Russian capture of the whole city, Denis Pushilin, head of the Russian occupation administration of Donetsk Oblast, said during a visit to Soledar in late January 2023 that the salt mines remained damaged and difficult to descend into. Tourism Soledar's long history of mining has created an "underground city" of tunnels that Deutsche Welle described as a "magnet for tourists". There are guided tours as deep as , with attractions including sculptures made of salt crystals. In 2004 and 2006, a cave was repurposed to host classical music concerts by the Donetsk Symphony Orchestra underground. In September 2020, the same chamber was also used for a soccer (football) match. It was also host to the first-ever underground hot air balloon flight, as listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Since the early 1990s, the chambers have also contained "speleosanatoriums": rooms made of salt that attempt to "recreate the allegedly restorative conditions of salt mines", where 100 patients with respiratory diseases are treated. This practice is part of the controversial halotherapy industry, in which it is believed that the inhalation of salt dust is a "miracle cure for respiratory illnesses". Science A particle physics detector, the , is located in the mine. See also Wieliczka Salt Mine References Salt mines in Ukraine Show mines Soledar

Parminder Kaur Nagra (born 5 October 1975) is a British actress of Indian Punjabi Sikh heritage. She is known for portraying Jess Bhamra in the film Bend It Like Beckham (2002) and Dr. Neela Rasgotra in the NBC medical drama ER (2003–2009). Her other television roles include Meera Malik in the first season of the NBC crime drama The Blacklist (2013–2014) and a recurring role in the ABC/Marvel series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (2016–2017) as Ellen Nadeer for season four. More recently, Nagra has starred as the titular character of the ITV series DI Ray (2022). Early life Nagra was born on 5 October 1975 in Leicester, England to Sukha and Nashuter Nagra, Sikh factory workers who emigrated from the Punjab region of India in the 1960s. She is the eldest of four children with two brothers and one sister. Nagra attended the Northfield House Primary School in Leicester. At her comprehensive school, Soar Valley College, she played the viola in the youth orchestra and also appeared in her first theatrical productions. A few months after sitting her A-levels and leaving school, Nagra was approached by Jez Simons, her former drama instructor, about becoming part of the Leicester-based theatre company Haithizi Productions, for which he served as the artistic director. She accepted and was cast as a chorus member in the 1994 musical Nimai presented at the Haymarket Theatre. Only a week into rehearsals, she was switched from the chorus to replace the lead actress, who had dropped out. Simons recalls that Nagra, a good singer and actress, also had a quality that raised her above other actresses which led him to select her as the new lead, despite the inconvenience of performing with her arm in a cast. Career 1990s to early 2000s Nagra left Leicester for London and decided not to go to university. Instead she pursued a theatrical career and her childhood ambition of becoming an actress. Nagra's first London theatrical job came in 1994, when she was cast as the Princess in the pantomime Sleeping Beauty at the Theatre Royal Stratford East. After Sleeping Beauty, Nagra worked with small Indian theatre companies such as Tara Arts and Tamasha. These roles eventually led to radio and television appearances that defined her career throughout most of the 1990s. She also appeared in "The 6th Wonder of the World: The Kali Tutti Story", in 1994. In 1996, Nagra took a small part in Chikamatsu Monzaemon's Fair Ladies at a Game of Poem Cards that was performed at Cottesloe, Royal National Theatre. Despite lacking formal theatrical training, Nagra signed with Joan Brown, a veteran London-based agent, after which she was cast in minor television roles in the British medical drama series Casualty, and in the television film King Girl, in which she played an abusive member of an all-girl gang. In 1997, Nagra appeared in the three-part drama Turning World alongside Roshan Seth. The following year, she appeared on Casualty again. In 1999, she played a convenience store clerk in the television film Donovan Quick, opposite Colin Firth. Also of note were appearances on the British comedy Goodness Gracious Me. Nagra also co-starred in radio plays including, among others, plays by Tanika Gupta. In 1998, Nagra co-starred in the radio play Dancing Girls of Lahore which was co-written by her future Bend It Like Beckham co-star Shaheen Khan. Nagra's other notable stage roles during this period include: Skeleton (1997), with critical acclaim for her "bright-eyed vivacity" as the village girl A Tainted Dawn (1997) where she played a Hindu boy accidentally left in Pakistan and brought up by a Muslim couple Fourteen Songs, Two Weddings & A Funeral (1998) where she showed her skills as a romantic comedian, also to critical acclaim Krishna's Lila—A Play of the Asian World (1999) where she was part of a five-person cast in a controversially titled piece The Square Circle (1999) in the demanding role of an illiterate peasant girl who becomes a rape victim River on Fire (2000), as Kiran, in a retelling of Sophocles' Antigone In 2001, Nagra voiced a Muslim girl in the docu-drama Arena: The Veil about women who choose to wear the Muslim head scarf. In 1997, not long after Fair Ladies at a Game of Poem Cards, Nagra was cast in Oh Sweet Sita, an adaptation of Indian mythology about Rama and his wife Sita, in the title role of Sita. During that time, Nagra caught the attention of director Gurinder Chadha. Bend It Like Beckham Nagra played the lead role in Gurinder Chadha's 2002 comedy-drama Bend It Like Beckham, which became her breakthrough film, alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Anupam Kher, Archie Panjabi, Shaheen Khan, and Keira Knightley, for whom this film also became a career breakthrough. It was directed by Chadha. Nagra played Jesminder "Jess" Bhamra, a teenage Sikh football player who idolises football superstar David Beckham and defies her traditional parents to pursue her dreams of playing football. The small-budget film was a critical and financial success in the United Kingdom, eventually making the leap around the world and to Canada and the United States where it earned over $30 million at the box office. The script was written by Chadha with her husband Paul Mayeda Berges and Guljit Bindra with Nagra in mind. While initially indifferent to the game of football, Nagra found the football-centred story to be both funny and touching. She agreed to audition and eventually accepted the role. An intensive ten-week training course in the game Futebol de Salao, coached by Simon Clifford, put Nagra through rigorous nine-hour-a-day workouts. Nagra learned to "bend" or curve the ball in flight, as she did in a scene in the film. Acknowledging Nagra's actual burn-scarred leg, Chadha wrote it into the film. Nagra received critical and professional acclaim for her performance. She was nominated, and won, several awards, including the FIFA Presidential Award (2002), making her the first woman to have done so. 2004–present Not long after filming ended on Bend It Like Beckham, Nagra co-starred in the fantasy romantic comedy Ella Enchanted alongside Anne Hathaway where she played Areida, the best friend of Hathaway’s's title character. In addition, she took on two notable television roles for Channel 4—as Viola/Cesario in a multicultural version of William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, and as Heere Sharma in the two-part Anglo-Indian drama Second Generation, loosely based on Shakespeare's King Lear, directed by Jon Sen and starring Om Puri. Although Second Generation was a ratings flop, it was a critical success, earning a place in The Observer newspaper's top 10 British TV programmes of 2003. It garnered Nagra an Ethnic Multicultural Media Academy (EMMA) Award. For the role, Nagra had to gain the courage to do some of the love scenes that she had vowed not to do as an actress. Her visit to Calcutta to film the final scenes set there was Nagra's first visit to India. While on a promotional junket in Los Angeles for Bend It Like Beckham, Nagra was informed by her agent that John Wells, one of the producers of the NBC medical drama series ER, was interested in meeting her. Bend It Like Beckham writer and director Gurinder Chadha revealed during a 2007 episode of BBC's Movie Connections that she arranged the meeting, because she had recommended Nagra for the role of the new Indian character in ER during a conversation with her friend Wells. Not long after the meeting, Nagra signed a one-year contract that included an option for three additional years. Despite her new status, Nagra said, "I don't think Hollywood has changed me at all. The first thing I did when I arrived was buy chapati flour and lentils." Nagra made her first appearance on ER on 25 September 2003, in the tenth-season premiere titled "Now What?" as Neela Rasgotra, a new Yale-educated Anglo-Indian medical student at County General Hospital. Wells adapted the role to suit Nagra, so she could use her own English accent while working. Nagra appeared in twenty-one of the season's twenty-two episodes, including the twelfth episode titled "NICU" and the seventeenth episode titled "The Student", episodes in which her character played a central role. Noah Wyle, announcing his departure from the series in 2004, described Nagra as "the future" of ER, and the media concurred, anointing her as one of the show's "golden girls". In October 2008, following the departures of Goran Visnjic, Maura Tierney, and Mekhi Phifer, Nagra became the longest-serving cast member and lead actor of ER and remained so until the series concluded with season 15: episode 22, the two-hour series finale titled "And in the End..." which aired on 2 April 2009. When Nagra finished filming the eleventh season of ER in 2005, she returned to her native Leicester to star in Love in Little India directed by Amit Gupta. She was nominated in 2006 for an Asian Excellence Award, in the category of Outstanding Female Television Performance, for her work in ER, and won the award the following year. Nagra was awarded the Honorary Degree of Doctors of Letters by the University of Leicester on 11 July 2007. In 2008, Nagra voiced Cassandra in the DC animated film Batman: Gotham Knight. Later, she co-starred as Dr Lucy Banerjee in the Fox science fiction drama series Alcatraz which ran for one season from 16 January to 26 March 2012. Nagra starred as CIA agent Meera Malik in the first season of the NBC crime drama series The Blacklist from 2013 to 2014. In 2016, Nagra joined the second season of British arctic psychological thriller Fortitude. In 2018, Nagra joined the second season of the Netflix web television series 13 Reasons Why as Priya Singh, the new counsellor of Liberty High. More recently, Nagra has starred as the titular character of the ITV series DI Ray (2022). One series of four episodes has aired. A second series of six episodes began filming in May 2023. Personal life While on the set of the Fair Ladies at a Game of Poem Cards, Nagra met Irish actor Kieran Creggan with whom she later moved into a flat in Kennington, South London. They were in a relationship for five years. On 17 January 2009, after a seven-year relationship, Nagra married photographer James Stenson. Her ER co-stars Scott Grimes and John Stamos performed at the ceremony, and her friend and former ER co-star Maura Tierney officiated. On 19 May 2009, she gave birth to their son Kai David Singh Stenson. On 8 February 2012, it was reported that Nagra had filed for divorce. The divorce was finalised in July 2013. Nagra was one of the bearers of the Olympic torch as it passed through London on its way to the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. As of 2022, she lives in Hollywoods Hills, Los Angeles.

The K-IV water project (), abbreviated as K-IV, is a pending water supply project being jointly developed by the provincial and federal governments in Karachi, Pakistan, to augment the city's daily water supply. The estimated cost was approximately Rs25.5 billion, which now increased to 150 billion PKR, while the project is designed to provide 650 million gallons of water daily to Karachi in three phases. The new water supply will be extracted from Keenjhar Lake through three water canals. The project was slated for completion in mid-2019. The K-IV water project is part of Karachi Bulk Water Supply Project. The responsibility of implementation of K4 project was handed over to WAPDA by the federal government in October 2020. The WAPDA vowed to complete the project in minimum time of two years so that the citizens of Karachi can benefit from it. Like many other projects for Karachi, this project was once again delayed, till October 2023. Background The project was first conceived in 2002, and the project’s feasibility studies and design were completed by Osmani & Company Limited (OCL). Estimates prepared by the consultants in 2007–08 based on the preliminary designs were reviewed by different tiers of provincial and federal governments and finally the project was approved for Rs25.5 billion by ECNEC in the year 2011. Due to the negligence of federal and provincial governments during the span of decades, project costs have been increased from the original Rs25.5 billion to Rs150 billion and project work is still pending.

Gaspare Canino (Partinico, 28 May 1900 – Alcamo, 1977) was an Italian artist and one of the last puppetmasters of the Canino family, working in Alcamo in the province of Trapani; his activity, interrupted in 1970, has been resumed in 1990 by Salvatore Oliveri, his grandson. Biography Gaspare Canino was born in Partinico, in the province of Palermo, on 28 May 1900. The Canino family came from Trapani and in 1700 moved to Palermo, where Alberto (don Liberto Canino), who later became a puppetmaster, was born; at first he made cylinder pianos. Don Liberto had two sons that inherited their father's art: Antonio e Luigi. Antonio settled in Partinico and Luigi in Alcamo. The latter married Maria Concetta La Rocca and had five children: Alberto, Giuseppe, Gaspare, Guglielmo and Rosetta. In 1913 Don Luigi expatriated alone to Argentina in search of his fortune, leaving the family; his son, Gaspare, after a quarrel with his uncle, whom he lived with, started to wander through Sicily, until he settled in the small theatre-laboratory of his father, who came back home after four years and resumed his activity of puppetmaster. Gaspare and Guglielmo continued the work they had learnt: Guglielmo settled in Sciacca, while Gaspare remained with his father in Alcamo. Gaspare got married with Antonia Fundarò, and had three daughters: Maria Concetta, Melchiorra e Rosetta. As Don Luigi could not run the activity any longer, because it implied also a continuous work of maintenance, it was up to Gaspare to get the old little theatre of via Manzoni in order, and represent the enterprises of Charlemagne and his paladins, Guido Santo, Jerusalem Delivered, Trabazio emperor of Constantinople, Saint Genevieve, Beati Paoli, the brigand Giuseppe Musolino and the Battle of Roncevaux Pass. Besides there were some farces with comic popular characters like "Virticchiu and Nofrio". In the 1960s cinema and television attracted young people, so fewer people went to see the Opera dei Pupi. One day, dottor Antonio Pasqualino, who was passionate about Sicilian puppets, decided to buy all that the puppet masters wanted to sell, and created the Museo internazionale delle marionette (International Museum of Puppets) in Palermo; Gaspare sold everything too: his puppets, backclothes, playbills and wings. On the initiative of Regione Siciliana, don Gaspare Canino was given a silver plaque as Cavaliere of Sicilian Folklore, at the museum Giuseppe Pitrè, and on the same occasion he donated an old puppet made by his grandfather Liberto to the foundation. He died in Alcamo in 1977; since 1990 his work has been continued by his niece, Salvatore Oliveri, who builds puppets, has a puppet theatre inside the Castle of the Counts of Modica in Alcamo and gives public shows. Works Gaspare Canino sculpted and created his puppets, painted backclothes and playbills, and also carts even if his father was not so clever as him, people from Alcamo have always known them as "Don Luigi's puppets ". Among the characters he realized, there are the puppets of Charlemagne, Roland, Renaud de Montauban, Angelica, Astolfo, Ganelon and the fairy Alcina. The most part of the puppets in the house-museum Antonino Uccello, at Palazzolo Acreide (in the province of Syracuse), come from the collection of don Gaspare Canino: besides them, there are a lot of handwritten scripts and a letter containing his autobiography. Don Gaspare tells: ... io sono nato 28 Maggio 1900, nato a Partinico provincia di Palermo la mia nascita è un romanzo perché mio padre Luigi Canino era in viaggio da Palermo in Alcamo e non-potendo più andare avanti causa di mia Madre dovette fermarsi a Partinico e diede me in luce sù il palcoscenico da mio zio Antonino Canino fratello di mio padre che ne stava con il teatrino a Partinico la cuale io faccio il mestiere 9 mesi prima di nascere poi sono di vera origine di colui che e sperimentato i pupi Siciliani il signor Canino Alberto fu mio nonno che nel 1830 creo i pupi snodabili e più umani... . (I was born 28th May, born in Partinico province of Palermo my birth is a novel because my father Luigi Canino was travelling from Palermo in Alcamo and as he could not go further cause of my Mother he had to stop at Partinico and gave birth to me on the stage of my uncle Antonino Canino brother of my father who stayed at Partinico with his small theatre who I do the job 9-month before I was born then I really come from the man has experimented Sicilian puppets signor Canino Alberto was my grandfather who in 1830 created articulated puppets and more human....) There are also a hundred of playbills, that is the advertisements put near the small theatre, and that publicized the evening show of the Opera dei Pupi: a lot of them represent a scene with various characters. In the collections there are also the playbills of the Palermo type, realized by Canino: in comparison with those of the Catania type, they are bigger, arranged in the vertical direction, tempera painted and with various frames; they describe the most important scenes of the story, and are similar to those of cantastorias.

A clinical coder—also known as clinical coding officer, diagnostic coder, medical coder, or nosologist—is a health information professional whose main duties are to analyse clinical statements and assign standardized codes using a classification system. The health data produced are an integral part of health information management, and are used by local and national governments, private healthcare organizations and international agencies for various purposes, including medical and health services research, epidemiological studies, health resource allocation, case mix management, public health programming, medical billing, and public education. For example, a clinical coder may use a set of published codes on medical diagnoses and procedures, such as the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), the Healthcare Common procedural Coding System (HCPCS), and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) for reporting to the health insurance provider of the recipient of the care. The use of standard codes allows insurance providers to map equivalencies across different service providers who may use different terminologies or abbreviations in their written claims forms, and be used to justify reimbursement of fees and expenses. The codes may cover topics related to diagnoses, procedures, pharmaceuticals or topography. The medical notes may also be divided into specialities, for example cardiology, gastroenterology, nephrology, neurology , pulmonology or orthopedic care. There are also specialist manuals for oncology known as ICD-O (International Classification of Diseases for Oncology) or "O Codes", which are also used by tumor registrars (who work with cancer registries), as well as dental codes for dentistry procedures known as "D codes" for further specifications. A clinical coder therefore requires a good knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, a basic knowledge of clinical procedures and diseases and injuries and other conditions, medical illustrations, clinical documentation (such as medical or surgical reports and patient charts), legal and ethical aspects of health information, health data standards, classification conventions, and computer- or paper-based data management, usually as obtained through formal education and/or on-the-job training. In practice The basic task of a clinical coder is to classify medical and health care concepts using a standardised classification. Inpatient, mortality events, outpatient episodes, general practitioner visits and population health studies can all be coded. Clinical coding has three key phases: a) abstraction; b) assignment; and c) review. Abstraction The abstraction phase involves reading the entire record of the health encounter and analysing the information to determine what condition(s) the patient had, what caused it and how it was treated. The information comes from a variety of sources within the medical record, such as clinical notes, laboratory and radiology results, and operation notes. Assignment The assignment phase has two parts: finding the appropriate code(s) from the classification for the abstraction; and entering the code into the system being used to collect the coded data. Review Reviewing the code set produced from the assignment phase is very important. Clinical coder must ask themselves, "does this code set fairly represent what happened to this patient in this health encounter at this facility?" By doing this, clinical coders are checking that they have covered everything that they must, but not used extraneous codes. For health encounters that are funded through a case mix mechanism, the clinical coder will also review the diagnosis-related group (DRG) to ensure that it does fairly represent the health encounter. Competency levels Clinical coders may have different competency levels depending on the specific tasks and employment setting. Entry-level / trainee coder An entry-level coder has completed (or nearly completed) an introductory training program in using clinical classifications. Depending on the country, this program may be in the form of a certificate, or even a degree, which has to be earned before the trainee is allowed to start coding. All trainee coders will have some form of continuous, on-the-job training, often being overseen by a more senior coder. Intermediate-level coder An intermediate-level coder has acquired the skills necessary to code many cases independently. Coders at this level are also able to code cases with incomplete information. They have a good understanding of anatomy and physiology along with disease processes. Intermediate-level coders have their work audited periodically by an advanced coder. Advanced-level / senior coder Advanced-level and senior coders are authorized to code all cases including the most complex. Advanced coders will usually be credentialed and will have several years of experience. An advanced coder is also able to train entry-level coders. Nosologist A nosologist understands how the classification is underpinned. Nosologists consult nationally and internationally to resolve issues in the classification and are viewed as experts who can not only code, but design and deliver education, assist in the development of the classification and the rules for using it. Nosologists are usually expert in more than one classification, including morbidity, mortality and case mix. In some countries the term nosologist is used as a catch-all term for all levels. Classification types Clinical coders may use many different classifications, which fall into two main groupings: statistical classifications and nomenclatures. Statistical classification A statistical classification, such as ICD-10 or DSM-5, will bring together similar clinical concepts, and group them into one category. This allows the number of categories to be limited so that the classification does not become too big, but still allows statistical analysis. An example of this is in ICD-10 at code I47.1. The code title (or rubric) is Supraventricular tachycardia. However, there are several other clinical concepts that are also classified here. Amongst them are paroxysmal atrial tachycardia, paroxysmal junctional tachycardia, auricular tachycardia and nodal tachycardia. Nomenclature With a nomenclature, for example SNOMED CT, there is a separate listing and code for every clinical concept. So, in the tachycardia example above, each type and clinical term for tachycardia would have its own code listed. This makes nomenclatures unwieldy for compiling health statistics. Qualification and professional association In some countries, clinical coders may seek voluntary certification or accreditation through assessments conducted by professional associations, health authorities or, in some instances, universities. The options available to the coder will depend on the country, and, occasionally, even between states within a country. Professional bodies that provide certification for clinical coders may also represent other health information management professionals. Australia Clinical Coders' Society of Australia (CCSA) Health Information Management Association of Australia (HIMAA) Canada Canadian Health Information Management Association (CHIMA) Saudi Arabia Saudi Health Information Management Association (SHIMA) United Kingdom Clinical coders start as trainees, and there are no conversion courses for coders immigrating to the United Kingdom. The National Clinical Coding Qualification (NCCQ) is an exam for experienced coders, and is recognised by the four health agencies of the UK. Institute of Health Records and Information Management (IHRIM) are the awarding body. England In England, a novice coder will complete the national standards course written by NHS Digital within six months of being in post. They will then start working towards the NCCQ. Three years after passing the NCCQ, two further professional qualifications are made available to the coder in the form of NHS Digital's clinical coding auditor and trainer programmes. Scotland In 2015, National Services Scotland, in collaboration with Health Boards, launched the Certificate of Technical Competence (CTC) in Clinical Coding (Scotland). Awarded by the Institute of Health Records & Information Management (IHRIM), the aims of the certificate include supporting staff new to clinical coding, and providing a standardised framework of clinical coding training across NHS Scotland. The NCCQ is a recognized coding qualification in Scotland. Wales The NCCQ is a recognized coding qualification by NHS Wales. Northern Ireland Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland recognizes the NCCQ as a coding qualification. United States , the typical qualification for an entry-level medical coder in the United States is completion of a diploma or certificate, or, where they are offered, an associate degree. The diploma, certificate, or degree will usually always include an Internet-based and/or in-person internship at some form of a medical office or facility. Some form of on-the-job training is also usually provided in the first months on the job until the coder can earn an intermediate or advanced level of certification and accumulate time on the job. For further academic training, a baccalaureate or master's degree in medical information technology, or a related field, can be earned by those who wish to advance to a supervisory or academic role. A nosologist (medical coding expert) in the U.S. will usually be certified by either AHIMA or the AAPC (often both) at their highest level of certification and speciality inpatient and/or outpatient certification (pediatrics, obstetrics/gynecology, gerontology, oncology are among those offered by AHIMA and/or the AAPC), have at least 3–5 years of intermediate experience beyond entry-level certification and employment, and often holds an associate, bachelor's, or graduate degree. There are several associations that medical coders in the United States may join, including: AAPC (formerly American Academy of Professional Coders) American Board of Health Care Professionals (ABHCP) American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) Some medical coders elect to be certified by more than one society. The AAPC offers the following entry-level certifications in the U.S.: Certified Professional Coder (CPC); which tests on most areas of medical coding, and also the Certified Inpatient Coder (CIC) and Certified Outpatient Coder (COC). Both the CPC and COC have apprentice designations (CPC-A and COC-A, respectively) for those who pass the certification exams but do not have two years of on the job experience. There is no apprentice designation available for the CIC. After completing two years of on the job experience the apprentice credential holder can request to have the apprentice designation removed from their credential. There are also further specialist coding certifications, for example, the CHONC credential for those who specialize in hematology and oncology coding and the CASCC credential for those who specialize in ambulatory surgery center coding. The other main organization is American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) which offers the Certified Coding Specialist (CCS), Certified Coding Specialist-Physician-based (CCS-P), and the entry-level Certified Coding Associate (CCA). Some U.S. states now mandate or at least strongly encourage certification from either AAPC or AHIMA or a degree from a college to be employed. Some states have registries of medical coders, though these can be voluntary listings. This trend was accelerated in part by the passage of HIPAA and the Affordable Care Act and similar changes in other Western countries, many of which use the ICD-10 for diagnostic medical coding. The change to more regulation and training has also been driven by the need to create accurate, detailed, and secure medical records (especially patient charts, bills, and claim form submissions) that can be recorded efficiently in an electronic era of medical records where they need to be carefully shared between different providers or institutions of care. This was encouraged and later required by legislation and institutional policy.

Elizabeth Eleanor Field was a British chemist and the Head of Chemistry at Royal Holloway College for over nineteen years. She is also noted as one of the nineteen signatories of the 1904 petition which aimed to grant women the status of Fellows of the Chemical Society. Education Field graduated from Newnham College, Cambridge, in 1887 and worked as Assistant Demonstrator in Chemistry from 1889 to 1890. She undertook research under Matthew Moncrieff Pattison Muir as part of her Bathurst studentship from 1891 to 1893. Career Field left Cambridge to work for two years as assistant mistress (teacher) at Liverpool College for Girls from 1893 to 1895 before taking up the role of Lecturer and Head of Chemistry at the Royal Holloway College where she remained for the next nineteen years until 1913. The 1904 petition Female heads of department at Royal Holloway College were given the title of Senior Staff Lecturer while their male counterparts were titled Professor. In 1904, Field, along with eighteen other British women chemists, signed a petition setting out their reasons to the Chemical Society why they should be afforded Fellowship status like their male counterparts. The petition eventually led to the admission of women as Fellows of the Society (one of the Societies that amalgamated to become the Royal Society of Chemistry), as well as identifying prominent female chemists working in Britain at this time. Mildred Gostling, was another of the notable names on the list of petition signatories. She obtained her degree from Royal Holloway College in 1897 so is almost certainly to have been taught by Field.

An interdictor is a type of attack aircraft or tactical bomber that operates far behind enemy lines, with the express intent of air interdiction of the enemy's military targets, most notably those involved in logistics. Interdiction prevents or delays enemy forces and supplies from reaching the battlefront; the term has generally fallen from use. The strike fighter is a closely related concept, but puts more emphasis on air-to-air combat capabilities as a multirole combat aircraft. Larger versions of the interdictor concept are generally referred to as "penetrators". In the post-war era, the RAF introduced interdictor variants of their English Electric Canberra jet bomber, as aircraft were released from the strategic bombing role as they were replaced by the new V bombers. Desiring a more modern aircraft for this role, development of the BAC TSR-2 (from "Tactical Strike and Reconnaissance, Mach 2") began, but this program was later cancelled. The US began development of a similar aircraft around the same time, which emerged as the General Dynamics F-111. The failure of the TSR-2 and a desire by other European nations for a similar design led to the Multi Role Combat Aircraft (MRCA) program, although operating over shorter ranges in the European theatre which was realised as the Panavia Tornado Interdictor/Strike (IDS). The Soviet Sukhoi Su-24 emerged in the early 1970s. In order to safely traverse a heavily defended front line, they flew at very low altitudes (in some cases having to pull up to clear power lines) to use terrain masking to protect them from enemy radar-guided weapons. Flying at low altitude also demands much greater fuel use, and thus interdictor aircraft were generally fairly large.

Physicus: Save the World with Science! is a 1999 educational adventure video game developed by Ruske & Pühretmaier Edutainment and published by Heureka-Klett-Softwareverlag and Tivola Entertainment. It aims to teach players about physics concepts. It is part of a series that includes the chemistry-themed Chemicus and biology-themed sequel Bioscopia. It was the second learning adventure game by Ruske & Pühretmaier after the music-based Opera Fatal. The game's website had a minigame called "PHYSICO DriveIn" that players could download and complete in to get the highscore, which would win them a free copy of a game by the studio. A sequel entitled Physicus: The Return was later released, and was remade for the iOS. Gameplay Gameplay is similar to Myst, in which players traverse through a series of computer generated static screens. Players can investigate physical locations, manipulate items, and complete puzzles to progress through the game. The educational content covered four areas: Optics, Mechanics, Acoustics, and Electricity. Plot When a meteorite collides with Earth, its planetary rotation ceases causing one hemisphere to be plunged into heat and the other into coldness. The player is tasked with using science to save the planet. Reception Tap Repeatedly thought the game was made in the same vein as Myst, and complimented its "charming... lighthearted" design philosophy that effectively taught players in an engaging manner. Allgame noted that the game's use of the metric system and British accent of the narrator could act as barriers to North American players. Adventure Spiele wrote that the game would be able to teach some physics concepts to even the uninitiated. Quandaryland thought it would be a shame if the game's educational nature turned people off an experience as enjoyable as many non-educational titles. Adventure Gamers noted the game's potential application within schools.

Jay David Bolter (born August 17, 1951) is the Wesley Chair of New Media and a professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His areas of study include the evolution of media, the use of technology in education, and the role of computers in the writing process. More recently, he has conducted research in the area of augmented reality and mixed media. Bolter collaborates with researchers in the Augmented Environments Lab, co-directed with Blair MacIntyre, to create apps for entertainment, cultural heritage and education for smart phones and tablets. This supports his theory regarding remediation where he discusses "all media functions as remediators and that remediation offers us a means of interpreting the work of earlier media as well" (Bolter & Grusin, 2000, p. 55). Biography Bolter received his B.A. degree in Greek from Trinity College, in the University of Toronto, in 1973. In 1977 and 1978 he received his Ph.D. in Classics and an M.S. in Computer Science, both from the University of North Carolina. Bolter received prominent fellowships at Yale University, Cornell University, University of Göttingen, and with the American Council of Learned Societies. From 1979 until 1991, Bolter held various faculty positions at the University of North Carolina. In 1991 he moved to the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he remains today. Storyspace Along with John B. Smith and Michael Joyce, Bolter co-created Storyspace, a software program for creating, editing, and displaying hypertext fiction. It was developed to support hypertext fiction in particular, although it can also be used for organizing and writing fiction and non-fiction intended for print. Although always credited as a coauthor of Storyspace with Joyce and Bolter, Smith wanted to clarify in an interview that he wasn’t involved in the development of either TALETELLER (which was a precursor to Storyspace) or Storyspace — but that he made more of an intellectual contribution insofar as "there was a sort of cloud of ideas that we were all drawing on in the discussions we’d have in this research entity at UNC, Textlab" Some of the notable hypertext fictions created in Storyspace include: Michael Joyce's afternoon, a story, Stuart Moulthrop's Victory Garden and Shelley Jackson's Patchwork Girl. Bolter has used Storyspace to revise several of his own books. More importantly, Storyspace provides facilities for writing and editing, which includes a map of the structure of the links, making it accessible for new users. Storyspace is currently being developed by Mark Bernstein of Eastgate Systems. Trivia Brian Eno has referred to Bolter as "the new Gutenberg." Bolter states in Writing Space: Computers, Hypertext, and the Remediation of Print that "Hypertext in all its electronic forms — the World Wide Web as well as the many stand-alone systems — is the remediation of print". Jay David Bolter and his writing partner, Richard Grusin, make the claim in their text Remediation: Understanding New Media, " At this point, all mediation is remediation."

The Naga Peace Accord is a peace treaty, signed, on 3 August 2015, between the Government of India, and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN), to end the insurgency in the state of Nagaland in Northeast India. The Government’s interlocutor for Naga Peace Talks, R. N. Ravi signed it on behalf of the Government of India, whereas Lt. Isak Chishi Swu, Chairman and Thuingaleng Muivah, General Secretary signed on behalf of the NSCN, in presence of the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. Naga Peace Talks The Naga peace talks refer to talks undertaken between the Indian government and the various stakeholders in Nagaland to resolve decades-old disputes. Some of these issues date back to the colonial era. According to reports, the demand for a Greater Nagaland, or Nagalim— covering Nagaland, its neighboring states and even parts of Myanmar— has been an important part of Naga nationalism. It's a demand being made for decades, and was first crystallized via the formation of a Naga Club in 1918. The Naga Club had reportedly told the Simon Commission that the Nagas should be left alone "to determine for ourselves as in ancient times". On August 14, 1947, the Naga National Council (NNC) led by Angami Zapu Phizo declared Nagaland an independent state. Phizo also formed an underground Naga Federal Government (NFG) and a Naga Federal Army (NFA) in 1952, which the Indian government sought to crush by sending in the Army in Nagaland and enacting the Armed Forces (Special) Powers Act, or AFSPA. History Over the course of years, even as the insurgency continued in Nagaland, efforts were made by the government to bring the insurgents to the table. In 1975, a peace accord between the government and the NNC was signed. Called the Shillong Accord, according to the agreement, the NNC promised to give up arms, but several senior leaders within the NNC did not agree with the agreement and broke away to float their own factions. One such faction was the NSCN, which later split to form the NSCN(I-M) faction. In 1997, the NSCN(I-M) signed a ceasefire agreement with the government. The agreement ensured that while the government would not push for counter-insurgency operations against the NSCN (I-M) cadre and its leadership, the rebels on their part would not target armed forces. In 2015, with the Narendra Modi government firmly in power, and PM Modi's push towards bringing an early resolution to the dispute, a framework agreement was signed, setting the stage for the ongoing peace talks. Framework Agreement Termed as "historic" by PM Modi, the agreement was signed after over 80 rounds of talks between the government and various stakeholders, but the exact details of the agreement haven't been revealed. In a statement after the agreement was signed, the government said it has "recognised the unique history, culture and position of the Nagas and their sentiments and aspirations. The NSCN understood and appreciated the Indian political system and governance". According to a report by The Hindu, there was discomfort within sections of Nagaland after the government decided to bring other Naga armed groups on board under the aegis of the Naga National Political Groups (NNGP). The report states that certain sections in Nagaland suspect that this was done by the government to exploit existing divisions between the Nagas. In August 2020, National Socialist Council of Nagaland released copies of the confidential Framework Agreement (FA). The Naga groups were insisting on changing the interlocutor R. N. Ravi. and the release of copies of agreement was a result of chain of events that emanated from this demand. In October 2020, the current chief of NSCN-IM Thuingaleng Muivah expressed strong reservations against moving forward with the agreement in a 55 minute long interview given to Karan Thapar. Deadlines The Centre's interlocutor and Nagaland Governor RN Ravi had stated that the NSCN (I-M)'s demand for a separate flag and constitution would not be fulfilled, and had accused the organisation of delaying talks. Ravi had said the NSCN(I-M) had taken a "procrastinating attitude" to delay the settlement. On October 28, a team of the NSCN (I-M), led by its general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah and Ravi met again to discuss the possible ways of finding an "honourable" solution by resolving the sticky issue of a separate flag and Constitution for the Nagas. "The dialogue, which lasted for more than four hours, remained inconclusive and both sides agreed to meet again soon. However, a final agreement between the NSCN (I-M) and the government is unlikely to take place by October 31, 2019" an official privy to the development. As of October 2020, the final agreement hasn't taken place and differences emerged out of demand for special flag, constitution, and greater Nagalim by NSCN (IM) is delaying and fatiguing the talk process. Impact For one thing, the fact that the NSCN (I-M)'s idea of a Nagalim includes parts of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Manipur has alarmed the states. Civil society organisations in the three states have stated that no compromise on their territorial integrity would be accepted. But they have reasons to be wary, since NSCN (I-M) is considered to be one of the largest rebel groups in the sub-continent with access to sophisticated weaponry, its actions are bound to affect the states in a negative manner. However, the respective state governments have decided to adopt a "wait and watch" attitude until the final peace deal is announced.

The hair hang is an aerial circus act where performers (usually young women) are suspended by their hair, performing acrobatic poses and/or manipulation. Some believe the act originated in South America; others claim the act hails from China. Performers hang suspended by their hair, which is tied into a hairhang rig; the techniques used to tie the performer's hair, and the acrobatic techniques involved in the act are key. Many people underestimate the tensile strength of hair. A single strand can potentially carry a weight of up to ; in theory, with proper technique, a full head of human hair could eventually hold between 5,600 kg and 8,400 kg (12,345 to 18,518 lbs) without breaking individual hairs or pulling out any follicles. However, the act still hurts, especially for new performers. Hair hanging acts are prominently featured in the Cirque du Soleil touring productions Volta and Bazzar. In 2020, American violinist Lindsey Stirling hung from her hair while playing her signature piece Crystalize as part of her Home for the Holidays virtual concert.

The Pointsman () is a 1986 Dutch film directed by Jos Stelling, starring Jim van der Woude, Stéphane Excoffier and John Kraaijkamp, Sr. It tells the story of a French woman who moves in with a Dutch railwayman at a remote railway station. The two are unable to converse, but soon begin a strange game of seduction. The film is based on the novel De wisselwachter by Jean-Paul Franssens. Kraaijkamp was awarded the Golden Calf for Best Actor for his performance in the film. Plot A French woman gets off a train by mistake at a remote location. She tries to ask the pointsman for help, but the two do not understand each other's languages. She waits for another train to arrive, but it never happens. She eventually moves in with the man at the station. Without being able to speak, the two begin to develop a relationship over the next few months. Cast Jim van der Woude as the pointsman Stéphane Excoffier as the woman John Kraaijkamp, Sr. as the machinist Josse De Pauw as the mailman Ton van Dort as the machinist's assistant Reception Critical response Janet Maslin of The New York Times described the film as "a mixture of strange, inchoate passions and even stranger Dutch humor, and there is little about it to capture the imagination. The characters and their actions are inscrutable, made even more so by the near-total absence of dialogue. The film's empty, mutable vistas (the exteriors were shot in Scotland) look good but evoke very little." Time Out London wrote: "Taking no account of plausibility, Stelling's exploration of the uses and abuses of power is art house fare, but neither obscure nor elitist. Enthralling performances generate a claustrophobic tension, but there's humour too."

"Soliloquy of the Spanish Cloister" is a soliloquy written by Robert Browning, first published in his collection Dramatic Lyrics (1842). It is written in the voice of an unnamed Spanish monk. The poem consists of nine eight-line stanzas and is written in trochaic tetrameter. The plot of the poem centers around the speaker's hatred for "Brother Lawrence", a fellow monk in the cloister. The speaker notes the trivial ways in which Brother Lawrence fails in his Christianity, and then plots to murder, or damn the soul of, Brother Lawrence. However, the poem ends before the speaker can finish, when he is interrupted by the bells proclaiming it is time for vespers.

John Casimir Zichy Woinarski is an Australian ornithologist, mammalogist, and herpetologist. He was awarded the 2001 Eureka Prize for Biodiversity Research. In the same year he was the recipient of the D. L. Serventy Medal, awarded by the Royal Australasian Ornithologists Union for outstanding published work on birds in the Australasian region. Dr. Woinarski is currently Professor in the Research Institute for the Environment and Livelihoods, a part-time position at Charles Darwin University, in Darwin, Northern Territory. Much of his work has been focused on the conservation of threatened species and he has extensively published work on the responses of biodiversity to fire. He is a co-author of The Action Plan for Australian Mammals 2012. In February 2019, speaking about the confirmed extinction of the Bramble Cay melomys, considered the only mammal endemic to the Great Barrier Reef and the first documented extinction of a mammal species due to climate change, he said that its loss was foreseeable and preventable. It had been known for years that its position was precarious, and he believed that its loss is at least partly due to under-funding for conservation programs and the fact that it was not an animal charismatic enough to garner much public attention. After the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season Dr. Woinarski became a member of the Australian Commonwealth’s Wildlife and threatened species bushfire recovery Expert Panel. In May 2020 the Federal Court of Australia accepted Dr. Woinarski's contributed expert opinion for the protection of some important forests in South Eastern Australia, being the threatened natural habitat of Australia's iconic Greater Glider and the Leadbeater’s Possum.

Prince Konstantine Bagration of Mukhrani () (14 March 1889 – 1 June 1915) was a Georgian nobleman from the House of Mukhrani. A member of the Russian Imperial Guard, Konstantine fought with distinction and died in World War I - actions for which he posthumously received the Order of St. George, the highest military decoration of the Russian Empire. Konstantine was in a brief but controversial marriage with Princess Tatiana Constantinovna of Russia, a member of the Russian Imperial Family. Life Konstantine was the son of Prince Alexander Bagration of Mukhrani (1856–1935), a descendant of the Georgian royal Bagrationi dynasty: Alexander was the son of Mikheil (1831-1907), son of Constantine IV, Prince of Mukhrani. Konstantine's mother was Princess Nino Tarkhan-Mouravi (1869–1934), also of Georgian noble blood. He was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, at that time a part of the Russian Empire. In the winter of 1910, Konstantin made acquaintance of his future wife Tatiana Constantinovna of Russia, from the Russian imperial House of Romanov, during a visit to one of Romanovs' estates. According to Prince Gabriel Constantinovich of Russia, Tatiana's parents were against her marriage to the Georgian prince, since the Georgian royal house of which he was part had not been a ruling house in some time and was not deemed equal of the Russian Imperial family. To prevent the marriage, Tatiana's father, Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich of Russia, demanded that Konstantine leave Saint Petersburg, prompting the Georgian nobleman to return to his hometown of Tiflis (Tbilisi, Georgia), and awaiting military deployment to Tehran. As a result of his departure, Konstantine and Tatiana remained apart for an entire year. Their love, however, withstood the time and distance. Due to Tatiana's stubbornness, three Imperial Family Councils were convened on the matter of marriage, with the participation of Emperor Nicholas II of Russia himself. The outcome of these family councils was that the Emperor issued an order, allowing the couple to get married. Konstantine and Tatiana wed in 1911 at the Pavlovsk Palace in the presence of the entire imperial family. World War I and death Several years after his marriage, Konstantine entered World War I as part of the Chevalier Guard Regiment, and in 1915 was awarded the Gold Sword for Bravery due to his heroic actions in the course of combat and reconnaissance missions. Konstantine died in combat later that year and was awarded the Empire's highest military decoration - the Order of St. George. Konstantine's remains were moved to Mtskheta, Georgia's ancient capital, and buried at the Cathedral of the Living Pillar where many other Georgian royalty rest. Along the way, Konstantine's remains were saluted by a line of Russian Imperial troops, soldiers from all local educational establishments and the Cadet Corps.

Jeffrey King is a fictional character from the soap opera One Life to Live. The character was introduced in 2013, and the role was originated by Corbin Bleu. A freelance journalist, Jeffrey is a friend of Llanview residents Danielle Manning and Matthew Buchanan, both of whom he met off-screen while Danielle attended boarding school in London in 2009. The character plays a pivotal role in the show's relaunch as his arrival and introduction as the star reporter at The Banner helps to reignite the iconic long standing feud between Victoria "Viki" Lord and Dorian Cramer Lord. Creation Background and casting In January 2013, head writer Susan Bedsow Horgan posted photos on Facebook of herself and co-head writer Thom Racina as they brainstormed over a list of character names. The newly created character of Jeffrey was at the bottom of the list. A brand new character listed among the usual One Life characters led to speculation that the name was code for an already established character. Several other characters emerged in audition scripts, including "Sam" and "Mick Wilder" which led to speculation that the three were the same character. On March 14, 2013, producers Prospect Park sent out a press release announcing that star Corbin Bleu, known for his supporting role of Chad Danforth in the musical franchise High School Musical, had been cast in the role of Jeffrey King. Bleu later took to Facebook to express his excitement about joining the series in its next life. Bleu told Us Weekly that the producers called and offered him the role. The actor revealed in an interview with Soap Opera Digest that the executive producer reached out to him personally. Bleu made his first appearance in the series premiere of the revived series on Hulu, on April 29, 2013. Characterization Jeffrey was listed as "Black + British" in his 20s. According to the original press release, Jeffrey is a "brilliant young reporter who moves to Llanview to work for publisher, Victoria Lord (Erika Slezak) at Llanview’s newspaper, The Banner." The official series description from iTunes described the character as "Viki’s sexy, young reporter." According to Bleu, Jeffrey is a very "eager" reporter. He is "smart," "quick" and "power hungry". "I love that he is able to spit out information without thinking," said Bleu; Jeffrey really knows journalism. According to Bleu, Jeffrey is a "driven person", but he also has a "laid back side to him." Bleu also described the character as "motivated" and "very savvy". In addition, Jeffrey is also very "eager" in his professional life. Jeffrey is not the average "good character", according to Bleu. The character has "a little bit of [good and bad]" in him. The one-time teen star said what appealed to him was Jeffrey's "transformation" from his work persona to his who he is when he hangs around with friends. Bleu revealed that Jeffrey's "dark side" plays a part in both his personal and professional life. When asked if his character would ever take a page from his High School Musical character and perform, Bleu stated that "singing" would not be very in character for Jeffrey. Development Because Jeffrey is a new and un-established character, Bleu said, "[T]he possibilities are endless." According to Bleu, "[Viewers] see lots of different sides to him." In an interview, Bleu stated that there was a lot that would happen with the character of Jeffrey. Bleu revealed in Soap Opera Digest that the character of Jeffrey intermingles in quite a few storylines. Bleu's first major storylines provides him with the opportunity to work with not only the newcomers to the show but also longtime veterans. When asked about a potential love interest, Bleu revealed that there was a potential pairing with Jeffrey and Destiny Evans (Shenell Edmonds) coming up. Bleu referred to Jeffrey's past as having a "puppet strings" effect on his future. In November 2011, Bleu said that the series would soon delve into Jeffrey's past and reveal his "true purpose". By late November, Ron Raines, known for his role as Alan Spaulding on Guiding Light was cast in the role of Carl Peterson, Jeffrey's longtime mentor. Introduction Jeffrey is a friend of Matthew Buchanan (Eddie Alderson) and Danielle Manning (Kelley Missal) from England. According to the official series description released by iTunes, the character of Jeffrey "uncovers a scandal that ends Dorian’s senatorial career." This development puts Jeffrey right in the middle this longtime feud. During an interview with Michael Fairman, Erika Slezak revealed that Bleu's Jeffrey "is going to be pivotal in the length of this show". She also stated that the character's sole purpose is not just to help revive The Banner. "There is a lot more that is going to happen with him," Slezak said. Bleu said that Jeffrey has a "quick-paced way of speaking" during an interview for Jet Bleu described his character's personality when hanging out with his roommates as Jeffrey's "younger side". Matthew and Danielle At the inception of the online series, Jeffrey, Matthew and Dani are sharing an apartment which Bleu described as "really funny stuff." According to Bleu's costar Kelley Missal, they and costar Rob Gorrie work well off of each other. It is speculated that the three may have attended boarding school together back in 2009. According to Bleu, Jeffrey's dynamic with Dani and Matthew is "very fun and humorous" and at times comes off as a sitcom. The trio are constantly "jabbing at each other and getting into trouble together." A review from TV Source said that the chemistry between Missal and Gorrie's characters helps to establish Jeffrey's place on in the canvas as their friend. Viki and The Banner Head writer Thom Racina described Jeffrey as becoming a savior for Slezak's Victoria at The Banner. Jeffrey and Viki develop a very close relationship. "He'll become her star reporter in a story that will also heavily involve Viki's longtime rival, Dorian Lord (Robin Strasser)" Bleu's Jeffrey helps to keep the struggling newspaper alive by helping to bring into the "digital age" said Bleu. In Jeffrey's eyes, the newspaper is failing because it is "still in the old school way of doing things". Bleu describes Jeffrey as being Viki's "adviser" to bring the paper into the digital era. It is in his work that viewers "see who Jeffrey really is". The character has a "strong personality when it comes to his work", and he is not afraid to challenge Viki about what her paper needs to survive. Jeffrey has no problem telling Viki "the truth" and he is not "afraid of her at all." "It’s a great dynamic that the show has never really seen before and the two of them have a mutual respect for one another." During an interview on the behind the scenes series, More One Life to Live, Bleu stated "Everybody answers to Viki. And this is the first time, I think, that you get a chance to see a relationship where she is taking advice from someone else. There is a "power struggle" between Jeffrey and Viki, explained Bleu, because Jeffrey is someone young who tries to come in and "take over". This struggle is displayed when Jeffrey convinces a reluctant Viki to run a very damaging quote from Dorian, despite her suspecting that Dorian is being framed by a government official. On Jeffrey's missing out on the permanent staff position at The Banner, Bleu said, "He'll get his day." Storylines Jeffrey King was working as a freelance reporter for The Banner in April 2013 when he uncovered a bombshell of a story: the CIA was conducting covert intelligence gathering operations, otherwise known as black ops, even though the president had outlawed such missions. Jeffrey reported that Dorian Lord (Robin Strasser), the junior senator from Pennsylvania, had been tipped off about the operations but kept quiet. Dorian, meanwhile, insisted that she had passed on the information to the heads of the Senate intelligence committee, and they were responsible for the cover up. As Jeffrey continued to dig deeper into the story, he caught up with old friends Matthew Buchanan (Robert Gorrie) and Danielle Manning (Kelley Missal), who attended the same London prep school as Jeffrey. Jeffrey and Matthew moved in together and soon were joined by Dani. As Jeffrey adjusted to life in Llanview, he worked closely with Viki Lord (Erika Slezak) to bring the Banner online and befriended fellow Banner employee and mother of Matthew's child Destiny Evans (Laura Harrier). With Matthew's consent, Jeffrey started dating Destiny and he asked her to be his date to the "Man of the Year" gala. As the gala neared, Jeffrey looked forward to the arrival of the keynote speaker, philanthropist Carl Peterson. Jeffrey had been raised by Carl and during Carl's visit; the men discussed how Jeffrey had intentionally befriended Matthew in boarding school years ago. Carl was impressed with the connections Jeffrey had made with the Buchanan family and with Viki. He assured Jeffrey that although the plans with Victor Lord, Jr. had hit a snag, Carl's sister Allison Perkins had Victor secured. Carl then instructed Jeffrey to tamper with Clint Buchanan's medication and Jeffrey complied. Reception In addition to the casting news being announced by the usual soap press, Bleu's casting garnered the attention of several pop publications including Entertainment Weekly, Access Hollywood, Perezhilton.com, Michael Ausiello's TVLine, Nikki Finke's Deadline Hollywood, and several others. The casting also made news in the Broadway world due to Bleu's recent appearances in Godspell and In the Heights. Bleu later took to Twitter where he promised to release a photo of his character's first appearance if his followers could the show's new Twitter account reach 5,000 followers, which it did. Daytime Confidential's Jillian Bowe responded to the casting news with "Prospect Park ain't playing around!" referencing the prior perception that Prospect Park did not take the task of relaunching OLTL and its sister show seriously. With such a wide variety of acting credits, from Broadway, to television and film, TVSource Magazine's Omar Nobles said Bleu "should fit in quite nicely in the world of soaps". Sara Bibel referred to Bleu as an "unexpected addition" to the cast. Bibel continued, and stated that an actor of Bleu's caliber joining the series was definitely a sign of future success. Soap Opera Network's Errol Lewis said fans would definitely be able to relate to the young adult Jeffrey's storyline in which he lands his dream job as reporter. "A character given a job that doesn't feel forced just because their portrayer is a “name” actor is refreshing" Lewis said in reference to Bleu's Jeffrey. In a review of the show's premiere episode, Jamey Giddens of Daytime Confidential referred to Bleu and his costar Robert Gorrie, who portrayed Matthew Buchanan as two of the "most promising" newcomers to join the series in recent years. Thomas Montalto of Soap Opera Network noted that the Jeffrey character "fits in well" despite him being unfamiliar with Bleu's previous work. Jodie Lash of Access Hollywood said Bleu "fits in like he’s been in Llanview for years" and said Jeffrey is a "great character." Fan response has been overwhelming positive from Bleu's fans, a lot of whom are new to the soaps. Though they only tuned in to see his character, they have gotten hooked on the series. Soap Opera Digest said Bleu's Jeffrey helped round out the cast without the character feeling "forced". The character of Jeffrey was listed on Daytime Confidential's list of Shirtless Soap Hunks of May 2013 and was described as a "hot cup of mocha." Bleu was voted as second most popular newcomer in the June 10, 2013 issue of Soaps In Depth with 31% of votes. Michael Fairman listed Bleu as a runner up for the "Best Newcomer Male" in 2013. Daytime Confidential ranked Bleu at #6 on their list of the "10 Best Soap Opera Newbies" for the year and said they were quite "surprised" by his portrayal.

Matthew Minicucci is an American writer and poet. His first full-length collection, Translation, won the 2015 Wick Poetry Prize, and his second collection, Small Gods, won the 2019 Stafford/Hall Oregon Book Award in Poetry. Having received numerous fellowships and residencies, including with the National Park Service, the C. Hamilton Bailey Oregon Literary Fellowship, the Stanley P. Young Fellowship in Poetry from the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, and the James Merrill House, Minicucci was named the 2019 Dartmouth College Poet-in-Residence at the Frost Place. Career After completing a degree in Classical Literature and Languages, Minicucci pursued his MFA at the University of Illinois; he has trained with Brigit Pegeen Kelly, Tyehimba Jess, and A. Van Jordan. His chapbook, Reliquary, marshalls the Stations of the Cross to explore themes later positively received in the full-length Translation. The Kenyon Review remarked the book's ″attention to craft as well as its thematic concerns and narrative devices [invoke] ancient history and myth to make sense of the poet's own personal history of loss.″ In his citation for the Oregon Book Award, judge and 2019 Pulitzer-prize winner Forrest Gander remarkedThe lexicon is inordinately rich, somehow both precise and lush. And the poems are insistently but never portentously philosophical, grounded as they are in bailing twine, bared teeth, baptismal tears. Disinterested in irony, softly-toned, Minicucci opens depths inside us that we can sense long after we’ve closed his book. Minicucci's poetry, essays, fiction, and reviews have appeared in Alaska Quarterly Review, The Believer, The Cincinnati Review, Copper Nickel, the Gettysburg Review, Hayden's Ferry Review, The Massachusetts Review, Oregon Humanities magazine, Passages North, Pleiades, Poetry, Poetry Northwest, Salamander, Southern Indiana Review, The Southern Review, Tupelo Quarterly, the Virginia Quarterly Review, and West Branch, among others. It has also been featured on Verse Daily and Poetry Daily. He serves as a member of the advisory board for Ninth Letter, and as senior poetry editor to Silk Road Review: A Literary Crossroads. Minicucci has taught writing at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Millikin University, Pacific University, the University of Portland, and Linfield College. He is currently a senior fellow with the Blount Scholars Program at the University of Alabama.
