73169157 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embassy%20of%20Peru%2C%20Tokyo | Embassy of Peru, Tokyo | The embassy of Peru in Japan () represents the permanent diplomatic mission of the South American country in Japan, in addition to two consulates general in Nagoya and Tokyo.
The current Peruvian ambassador to Japan is Roberto Seminario.
History
Both countries established relations in 1873, and 790 Japanese immigrants arrived to Peru 20 years later in 1899. Today, Peru has the second largest Japanese population in Latin America after Brazil.
During the early 20th century, Peru had consulates in Tokyo, Kobe and Osaka. These were closed after Peru severed relations with Japan in January 1942 due to the Attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II. Relations were reestablished after the treaty of San Francisco, and legations between both countries were reopened between 1952 and 1955, being followed in 1956 by an exchange of embassies.

73169171 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minha%20Biblioteca%20Cat%C3%B3lica | Minha Biblioteca Católica | Minha Biblioteca Católica (en: My Catholic Library) is a Brazilian publisher, aimed at the Catholic public.
Created in 2017 in Dois Irmãos, Rio Grande do Sul, it has printed more than three million copies, including spirituality classics, reissues of religious publications and unpublished works in the country. The company distributes the content through a subscription club.
History
The club emerged in December 2017, from the idea of three friends — among them producer Matheus Bazzo — who had a common interest: the search for quality Catholic books. With this, my Catholic Library was conceived, operating as a subscription club with monthly sending of works to the public. The first shipment was made in January 2018 and there was quickly a high demand. In the first month, subscriptions beat the stock, requiring the closure of the site for two days.
Since its inception, the company has counted 150,000 subscribers and has printed more than three million copies. Monthly, boxes are sent with a book related to the Catholic faith, support readings and other items. Today, the Library has 70 employees. The based is located in Porto Alegre, with the logistics service being operated in Dois Irmãos.
Among the published publications are Story of a Soul, by Teresa of Lisieux, Theology of the Body, by St. John Paul II, and Interior Castle, by Teresa d'Ávila. In 2019, the company produced the series Sons of Cister, about a group of Cistercian monks in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul. The production was the kickoff to the creation of Lumine TV, an on-demand video service aimed at Catholic audiences.
It is the largest religious signature club in Brazil.

73169255 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesium%20goetzeanum | Thesium goetzeanum | Thesium goetzeanum is a species of plant from Africa, where it grows between South Africa and Kenya.
History
Species in the genus Thesium are poorly understood. This was particularly the case for the Thesium goetzeanum complex, which was assessed in 2018. It contained a number of morphologically similar and variable species in southern Africa. The number of species in this complex was reduced from sixteen to nine.
Thesium goetzeanum was found to have the highest number of synonyms. Five species were determined to be a synonym. These are T. coriarium A.W.Hill, T. deceptum N.E.Br, T. macrogyne A.W.Hill, T. nigrum A.W.Hill, and T. orientale A.W.Hill.
Description
Plants start off herbacoues with virgate growth form (erect, rod-like stems) and become increasingly woody and often decumbent (branches grow along the ground but turn up towards the ends) with age. It has a rhizomatous rootstock. The leaves are linear or lance shaped and often have roughly hairy margins. Flowers are present between August and February. They are long and borne in racemose cymes. The bracts are mostly fused to the stalk. There is no fruit stipe.
Similar species
Thesium goetzeanum is commonly confused with Thesium resedoides as both have similar growth forms. Thesium goetzeanum, however, has sparser branches with parallel stem (grow at about 45° in T. resedoides), vegetative shoots that grow past the inflorescences, and larger flowers.
Distribution and habitat
This species is found growing between South Africa and Kenya. It is found in Botswana, Burundi, Eswatini, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. While it prefers the grassland biome, it has also been recorded from rocky savanna areas. It grows at altitudes of .
Ecology
This species occurs in the highest density in areas that have recently burned.
Etymology
This species is named after Walter Goetze, a German naturalist, explorer and photographer who collected botanical and zoological specimens in Tanzania.
Conservation
As this species is abundant and widespread, it is classified as least concern.

The Engineers represented Lehigh University and were coached by Charles W. Simmons in his 5th season.
Season
When Lehigh opened their season, they had agreed to participate in a 3-game tournament in Clinton, New York. Unfortunately, as most of the team were new additions who had only 4 practices to get used to one another, the Engineers performed rather poorly. After getting stomped by the hosts 3–17, the squad was throttled by Middlebury 0–22, setting numerous program records on both sides. While the results of the final match with Union were comparatively much better, the Dutchmen were very weak competition.
As if to drive the point home about just how much ground the Engineers had to make up, a further game with Hamilton shortly thereafter ended 0–15. In fact, Lehigh would be shutout in five consecutive games, an NCAA record (since broken), and would not score again until their meeting with Georgetown on February 14. After a further pair of lopsided losses, the Engineers played probably their best game of the season when they took on the Harrison Maple Leafs. While their comeback ultimately fell short, it was the closest the team came to a victory all year and showed that the offense did have some fight in them.

73169396 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%20Andrew%27s%20F.C.%20%28Glasgow%29 | St Andrew's F.C. (Glasgow) | St Andrew's Football Club was a Scottish football club based in the city of Glasgow.
History
The club was formed in 1874. Its first recorded match was a 1–0 win over the Ramblers club at the latter's Queen's Park ground, thanks to a goal "taken in capital style" by Marshall, who dribbled past the Ramblers' half-backs and putting in a shot just under the tape.
St Andrew's had enough members to form two sides by 1875 as the second XI beat the Hamilton Academical F.C. second XI 1–0 in September that year.
The club's only entry to the Scottish Cup was in 1875–76. In the first round the club beat Telegraphists F.C. at home 3–0; St Andrew's held the Telegraphists off in the first half, playing into a heavy wind, but scored three times in the first 15 minutes of the second.
In the second round, the club lost 2–0 against Dumbreck F.C. at Ibroxhill, with a third Dumbreck goal not allowed as the umpires could not agree on an offside.
The last listed fixture for the club was at Lancefield F.C. in January 1876. For the 1876–77 season, at least three of the St Andrew's players are found playing for Alexandra Athletic.
Ground
In common with a number of other Glasgow clubs, the club used the Glasgow Green whenever hosting matches.
Notable players
Sam Ricketts, later a Rangers player and official, played for the side in 1874.

73169403 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javelina%20Jundred | Javelina Jundred | Javelina Jundred is a 100 mile (160 km) ultramarathon held at McDowell Mountain Regional Park in Fountain Hills, Arizona. Founded in 2002, it is one of the most popular ultramarathons in the United States, with over 800 participants as of 2023. The course also hosts shorter distances including a and a race.
Race course and description
Javelina Jundred is unique among top 100 mile races in that the course consists of loops that all begin and end at race headquarters. Hundred mile runners complete a total of five loops, while the 100k is three and the 31k is one loop. The course is relatively flat and fast for a trail ultramarathon, with of cumulative vertical gain for the hundred mile distance.
Though fall temperatures are relatively cool for the Sonoran Desert, the course is still completely without shade and daytime temperatures can reach up into the 90s. Heat is often one of the top reasons for runners to drop from the race, though at night temperatures drop rapidly.
Held in late October around Halloween weekend, the race has a unique culture with many runners wearing costumes, and unconventional awards such as best costume and best ass. Race organizers typically warn participants and crew that the race is "R rated". Despite the festive atmosphere, the race has recently attracted a competitive field of elite runners, due to the fast course and the fact that it is a qualifier for the Western States Endurance Run, with the top mens and women finishers earning a "Golden Ticket" automatic entry.
History
Founded by Geri Kilgraff in 2002, the inaurgural year of the race had 180 runners. By 2008, the race was organized by Jamil Coury of Aravaipa Running. By 2014, the race had around 700 runners and instituted a waitlist for entrants.

73169615 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary%20Adelaide%20Dickey | Mary Adelaide Dickey | Mary Adelaide Dickey (1882-1960) was an American vaudeville performer, who performed as Adelaide or La Petite Adelaide. She was best known in the 1910s and 1920s as half of 'Adelaide and Hughes', a husband-and-wife dance partnership with Johnny J. Hughes.
Life
Mary Adelaide Dickey was born in Cohoes, New York, in 1882, the oldest of three girls born to W. James and Josephine Dickey. She studied dance under C. H. Van Arnum in Troy, and by 1894 was toe dancing as La Petite Adelaide in New York City. In 1897 she made a movie, La Petite Adelaide, for American Mutoscope Company. Her speciality dance was a Doll Dance.
Around 1900 Adelaide married a fairground agent, William A. Lloyd. However, within a year Lloyd was arrested for stealing and pawning her clothes and jewelry, and the pair divorced. Adelaide performed for theater operators including B. F. Keith, Lee Shubert and Oscar Hammerstein. She appeared with James T. Power in The Blue Moon, and with Eddie Foy in The Orchid (1907). In 1908 she performed a toe dance on horseback at the New York Hippodrome. Only four foot five in height, she continued to be able to perform child roles.
Adelaide began dancing with Johnny J. Hughes, and toured Europe with him in 1911. Their act mixed genres: it was "operatic, ballet, and stage dancing, dashed through with the paprika of the Cakewalk and the Tango". On their return to the US, they appeared with Charlotte Greenwood in The Passing Show of 1912. The pair opened a dance studio in Brooklyn and married in 1913, touring together in an 8,000 mile honeymoon across the United States.
Adelaide and Hughes appeared together on Broadway in Monte Christo Jr. (1914) and Town Topics (1915). Together, the pair choreographed dances for vaudeville shows including Pierrot and Pierette (1914), The Dancing Divinities (1917), Classics of an Age (1917) and The Garden of the World (!917). They continued dancing together until Hughes's death in 1927. She retired from dancing and lived on until 1960.

Biography
Bénard was born in Redon, a town in Brittany. His father was the local stationmaster for the Compagnie d'Orléans. In 1873, his father was transferred to Bordeaux where Bénard graduated school. He entered the École navale at the age of 16 and completed his training in 1886. In the French Navy, he was at sea near Newfoundland, among other places. He quit the navy in 1891 with the rank of Enseigne de vaisseau. In the following, Bénard settled in Bordeaux, where he was on the boards of directors of several civilian shipping companies. In 1899, he co-founded the Société d'Océanographie du Golfe de Gascogne, through which he made friends with fellow oceanography and exploration enthusisast Albert I, Prince of Monaco.
In 1908, Bénard led an expedition named Mission Océanographique Arctique Française. The expedition's main goals were estimating the potential for fishing off the coast of Northern Norway, oceanographic studies of the Barents Sea, and geological investigations on Novaya Zemlya. The newly constructed sailing vessel Jacques Cartier served as the expedition ship. The voyage was under the patronage of Prince Albert, while Jules Charles-Roux chaired the expedition committee. Jacques Cartier set sail from Dunkirk on 12 April 1908 with 19 people aboard. The chief medical officer was named Candiotti, the captain Desmazières. During most of June, the ship stayed at Hammerfest where the local fishing could be studied. In the Barents Sea, oceanographic observations were made. On 7 July, Novaya Zemlya was reached when the ship anchored at Belushya Guba and the expedition made contact with the local Nenets population. On 24 July, the Russian geologist Vladimir Rusanov was dropped off by mail steamer to join the party. Several exploring trips were made across the archipelago. Candiotti and Rusanov led a successful crossing of the northern island, mapping for the first time. Bénard himself conducted surveying work around , and in the interior of the peninsula Gusinaya Zemlya. In late August, Jacques Cartier left Novaya Zemlya for Arkhangelsk where after some disagreement about continuing the expedition work next season, she was finally sold and the crew was repatriated.
In 1914, Bénard returned to Novaya Zemlya, where he hiked across the southern island alone, before crossing Gusinaya Zemlya by dogsled together with a Nenets companion.
At the start of the First World War, Bénard was mobilised and put in command of the squadron of minesweepers at Toulon. He was later promoted to the rank of Capitaine de frégate.
After the war, Bénard moved to Penmarc'h, where he devoted himself to archaeology. When marine officer and notable archaeologist Louis Eugène Le Pontois died in 1919, Bénard added "Le Pontois" to his name to honor his distant cousin. In 1922, he divorced his wife Suzanne, but remarried Gabrielle Philippson-Goldschmidt the following year. She was the daughter of a wealthy Belgian banker and herself divorced. The couple had two children together. With Théodore Monod and , Bénard Le Pontois performed excavations in the local area and founded the . In 1931, Gabrielle and Charles divorced. Shortly after returning from an expedition with Monod to the Sahara desert, Bénard Le Pontois learned that his ex-wife intended to take their two children and end her alimony payments to him. Unable to face this situation, he asphyxiated his children and himself.

73169660 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lassis%20Inn | Lassis Inn | Lassis Inn is a restaurant in Little Rock, Arkansas founded in 1905. It was a meeting place for local civil rights leaders in the 1950s and 60s. In 2017 it was one of three inaugural inductees into the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame and in 2020 was named an America's Classic by the James Beard Foundation.
History
The restaurant was founded by Joe and Molassis Watson around 1905. The couple started the business by selling sandwiches from their home. As the business grew, they added fried catfish and built a separate structure for the carryout business. In 1931 the Watsons moved the building and business to East 27th Street and in 196 moved again slightly due to freeway construction.
The restaurant was a meeting place for civil rights leaders in the 1950s and 60s, including Daisy Bates, while they were planning efforts such as the desegregation of Little Rock Central High School.
It is one of the oldest restaurants in Arkansas.
Menu
The restaurant specializes in catfish, including fried catfish and catfish steaks, "fish ribs" (made from local specialty buffalo fish) and hushpuppies.
Southern Living calls out the fish ribs, saying "it's actually a type of bony, white-fleshed, freshwater fish. The buffalo fish's larger bones are butchered with enough flesh on each side of the bone to resemble spareribs. The result is a crunchy, hot, and meaty rib". The buffalo fish is not a preferred fish due to its many small bones; the only part of the fish that is free of these is the rib.
Recognition
In 2017 it was among the three inaugural inductees into the Arkansas Food Hall of Fame, along with Rhoda's Famous Hot Tamales and Jones Bar-B-Q Diner. In 2020, it was named an America's Classic by the James Beard Foundation. Arkansas Online called the restaurant's catfish and buffalo "some of the state's best fried fish". Kelley Bass in Heaping Spoonful called it "a truly lengendary restaurant". Southern Living named the restaurant in 2022 to their compilation of the South's Best Soul Food.
Ownership
The restaurant was purchased by Elihue Washington Jr. and Maria Washington in 1989.

The theorem should not be confused with the Grothendieck trace formula from algebraic geometry.

History
The club was founded in 1873.
St Andrew's first entered the Scottish Cup in 1876–77, and was drawn at home to Ayr Eglinton in the first round. The game ended in a 1–1 draw.
The replay was played on 7 October at the neutral Robbsland Park (the ground of Ayr Thistle F.C.) and lasted only an hour, St Andrew's winning 1–0.
In the second round, the club was drawn to play at the Portland club, on the latter's ground at Nursery Park, on Holehouse Road. The home side won 2–0 in a "one-sided game".
The club played matches regularly until the end of the season, the final one advertised being against Rosevale of Strathbungo on 14 April 1877, but the club appears to have wound up before the start of the 1877–78 season, as it scratched from its first round Scottish Cup tie with Ayr Thistle, and did not enter the new Ayrshire Cup.
Colours
The club's colours were black and red hoops.
Ground
The club originally played at Holehouse Road. It moved to Grange Park in time for its Cup tie with Ayr Eglinton.

73169779 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikita%20Mikado | Mikita Mikado | Mikita Mikado is an IT entrepreneur of Belarusian origin, creator of PandaDoc unicorn.
Business
Mikado was born in Minsk in 1986, he studied at the Belarusian State University of Informatics and Radioelectronics in 2001–2006. At the age of 19, Mikado went to the USA on a Work&Travel programme. Along with half-time jobs, he tried himself in web-design and software development.
In 2011, Mikado returned to Belarus. Together with his partner Sergey Barysiuk, he created Quote Roller, a document automation tool. By 2013, the start-up had grown into PandaDoc, an e-document platform that lets its customers create, share and sign official documents online. PandaDoc was growing quickly and soon had more than 3000 clients.
In 2013, Mikado returned to San Francisco and managed to raise $5 mln investments to PandaDoc from such prominent investors as Kima Ventures, Altair Capital, and Fabrice Grinda. As of 2015, 16 employees worked in the Minsk office and 14 worked in San Francisco.
In 2017, PandaDoc attracted $15m in investment from Rembrandt Ventures Partners, as well as Microsoft Ventures, HubSpot, EBRD and Altos Ventures.
In 2020, Mikado starred in Yury Dud's documentary on Russian-speaking startupers of Silicon Valley. Along with other heroes of the film, Mikado ‘woke up famous’ after the release. The role made him famous among young Russians and turned him into a role model to those who dreamt of a career in IT.
In 2021, PandaDoc raised a new financing round at a $1 billion valuation.
Social activity
Immediately after the violent crackdown on the Belarusian protests of 9–13 August, Mikado joined the ‘Protect Belarus’ initiative and offered legal, educational and financial assistance to those former policemen who left their jobs in protest. Dozens of them successfully moved to work in the IT sector. The authorities responded with a strike against Mikado's company: four employees of the Minsk office were jailed in trumped-up cases. Three of them were released in several months, while product manager Victor Kunshinov had spent more than 1 year in prison.
In 2022, Mikado invested into ‘Mesto’ start-up, a platform that helps IT workers, entrepreneurs, digital creators and companies relocate to Cyprus and Bali. ‘Mesto’ founded communities of those who have already relocated and offered them legal assistance, insurance, co-living accommodation, and helped with visas and bank accounts.

She is the Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Dynamics and a Huck Scholar in Entomology. Her research investigates the bacterium Wolbachia as a strategy for biocontrol and to better understand the basis of its interactions with insects. She was elected a Fellow of the American Society for Microbiology.
Early life and education
McGraw was an undergraduate biology student at the University of Michigan. She moved to Pennsylvania State University where she studied the evolution of virulence genes in human pathogens and was awarded a PhD in 1998.
Research and career
After her PhD, she joined Yale University for her postdoctoral research, where she studied the Wolbachia insect system. She was particularly interested in being able to ask questions about the evolution of mutualism. She moved to the University of Queensland as a postdoctoral researcher.
McGraw was appointed to the faculty at the University of Queensland, then moved to Monash University as a Larkins Fellow in 2011, where she studied how bacteria affect host biology and how insects invest in response to a symbiont. She has extensively studied the endosymbiont Wolbachia. Wolbachia prevents harmful pathogens replicating inside mosquitos, which may offer hope for biocontrol against mosquito-borne diseases. Her research showed that when Wolbachia was inside mosquitoes it could prevent viruses from replicating. She showed that Dengue virus could not become resistant to Wolbachia, and that Dengue viruses grown with Wolbachia were less effective at infecting mosquito cells and were less able to replicate.
In 2017, McGraw joined Pennsylvania State University as a professor in entomology.
Awards and honors
McGraw was elected Fellow of the American Society for Microbiology in 2023.

73169813 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preboreal%20oscillation | Preboreal oscillation | The preboreal oscillation (PBO) was a short cooling period within the preboreal stage of the Holocene epoch.
Definition
Based on evidence from pollen, early Holocene cooling periods have been discovered already from the 1960s on. Locally, they were referred to as ‘Friesland Oscillation’ (Denmark ), ‘Youngest Dryas’ (Germany ), ‘Rammelbeek Phase’ (Netherlands ), and ‘Piottino Oscillation’ (Switzerland ). The term "preboreal oscillation" was derived from attempts to synchronize these events .
Dating
The greenland ice cores record a distinct decline in stable oxygen isotope data dated to 11 650–11 270 ice layer a BP (11 700–11 320 b2k) with the coldest part between 11 470 and 11 350 ice layer a BP (11 520–11 400 b2k) labelled as the ‘11.4 ka event’ .
In lake sedimentary records, the exact timing and duration of the PBO remain uncertain because of dating uncertainties due to two early Holocene radiocarbon plateau and unclear proxy evidence. Two ash layers derived from volcanic eruptions are frequently used as time markers for the PBO: the Askja-S and Hässeldalen tephras shortly before and after the event. The ages of these layers were constrained to 11.228 ± 226 cal a BP and 11.380 ± 216 cal a BP, framing the cold event to a maximum duration of 152 +11/-8 years by varve counting.

73169866 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy%20Bernardy | Amy Bernardy | Amy Allemand Bernardy (January 16, 1880 – October 1959) was an Italian journalist, folklorist, ethnographer, and writer.
Early life and education
Amy Bernardy was born in Florence, the daughter of an Irish-American diplomat and an Italian mother. She was educated at l'Istituto di Studi Superiore in Florence, graduating in 1901 with a thesis on the history of Turkish-Venetian relations. Her academic mentor was Pasquale Villari; he was president of the Dante Alighieri Society, and she was the society's vice president.
Career
Bernardy was a lecturer on Italian subjects at Smith College in Massachusetts from 1903 to 1910. While in America, she wrote for American and Italian newspapers and magazines. She was commissioned by the Italian government to report on the effects of emigration on Italian-born women and their children in North America, including a visit to Ellis Island, and studies of regional differences and of "Little Italy" neighborhoods in American and Canadian cities. She presented her findings at a conference on Italian ethnography in 1910. She also studied Italian expatriate communities in Turkey and in the West Indies. She returned to the United States from 1917 to 1920, to work at the Italian embassy in Washington, D.C., during World War I.
Bernardy spoke against women's suffrage and for protections for workers' families, on a lecture tour of the United States in 1910. She taught at the University of Florence in the 1930s, and toured in Canada as a speaker on Italian social issues and expatriates, especially on education, in 1934. On that tour, she defended the policies of Italy's fascist government, and dismissed criticisms against it as being based on 'fables'.

73169875 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David%20W.%20Nevin | David W. Nevin | David Williamson Nevin was an American politician from Easton, Pennsylvania, who served as the city's mayor and is considered to be "Easton’s greatest citizen".
Early life
Nevin was born on September 9, 1853, in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, to a farmer, Samuel Williamson Nevin and his wife Harriet Macomb Née Balch. He had an older brother, Joseph Pierce Nevin a physician, a younger sister Anna Mary Nevin and a younger brother George Balch Nevin, a composer. When he was 10 years old his father took him to Gettysburg where he heard the Gettysburg Address. His uncle, David Robert Bruce Nevin was a major in the Union Army and later an attorney from Philadelphia. Nevin went to study law at Lafayette College however, while he was studying he was nearly killed by Tuberculosis in 1872. This near death experience played a key role in the remainder of Nevin's life as he would be described as full of energy, boundless, and never took anything for granted.
Career
Early legal career
Following his belated graduation in 1875 Nevin worked for a city attorney for two years before passing the Northampton County bar and opening his own law firm in 1877. That year he would also run for Northampton County district attorney, but would lose the election.
Real estate development
In 1887, Nevin's "butter and egg man" a local farmer named John Mann, who delivered produce to Nevin every Friday afternoon, was asked if he would be willing to sell his farm to Nevin on behalf of his uncle from Philadelphia, D.R.B. Nevin. Mann agreed citing the rising taxes which where threatening to put him out of business. Shortly after the sale was closed the Lafayette Traction Company, of which David was a principle shareholder, built the first electric trolley line up College hill in 1888. This came despite resistance from the city's influential Republicans who sought to preserve the rural nature of the area. Shortly after Nevin constructed an inn on Mann's former property on the summit of Weygadt Mountain named the Paxinosa Inn at the price of $100,000 in 1889 (roughly $34,500,000 in 2023). The inn was named after Chief Paxinosa of the Shawnee Indians who was pivotal in the ratification of the 1757 Indian treaty. Shortly after in 1890 Nevin began developing the area around his inn into luxury villas and a neighborhood known as "Paxinosa Heights", the district is still intact today but is now known as "College Point". As part of the development and due to his stature as a devout Presbyterian he financed the construction of the College Hill Presbyterian Church and helped oversee its library. There he would develop a patent for a library record system. The Paxinosa Inn was never profitable and Nevin was forced to sell it at auction in 1896. Shortly thereafter it burned down in a fire. It was rebuilt in 1905 with fireproofed bricks, but would burn down a second time shortly after. It was never rebuilt. The cause of the inn's destruction is credited it to being 600 ft above the Delaware River preventing firefighters from having a steady stream of water due to poor infrastructure and pumps at the time. Nevin designed and donated two parks to the City of Easton. One of which, Nevin Park, hosted the city's original fountain from Easton's center square in 1899 after the erection of the soldier's monument that stands there today. The fountain would be melted down as part of a scrap metal drive for World War II. Despite his real estate business taking a turn for the worse, Nevin became the director of the Easton National Bank and to serve as the secretary and treasurer of the Easton Suspension Bridge Company.
Political career
Nevin never stopped showing an interest in local politics after his 1877 district attorney defeat. Ever since his encounter with Abraham Lincoln at the age of 10 he had been a lifelong progressive Lincolnite Republican.
He would hold a series of roles in the city government before being elected as a city councilor for the second and third ward. By 1888 he was the council president and he motioned for the creation of the Easton Industrial Association to help bring industrial jobs to the city. Nevin would be elected mayor in 1911 and take office in 1912 serving two terms until 1920. Nevin is best remembered for his tough on crime platform. Easton, at the time, was a resort town people from New York and other cities to go and commit vices they otherwise wouldn't be able to, the largest of which was prostitution. Nevin would make it his top priority to shut down the city's 27 brothels in a manner that wouldn't be embarrassing to the women working in them. During his time as mayor he also worked to expand the city's fire and police departments. Additionally, in 1913 the city abolished the "select and common councils" for a new city commission government. The old system had a large 36 member elected "common" council that would represent the 25,000 residents of the city, while the "select" council was appointed by the mayor. This system was heavily criticized due to having the unelected select council having almost all the power, and with there being too many members of the common council resulting in endless political infighting.
Legacy
Nevin park still bares the mayors namesake and in 2014 a $200,000 replica of the city's original iron fountain was restored to the park. Near the end of his second term, local historian William Jacob Heller wrote that Nevin had contributed to Easton's development "perhaps more than any living man." Nevin was married and had three sons, Samuel W. Nevin, D. Burrowes Nevin and John D. Nevin. His father was an Elder of the College Point Presbyterian church. Due to Nevin's long life he would often talk about his trip to Gettsyburg when he was 10 years old and lamented that: "I wish I had extended my hand, for if the president had taken one step toward me we could have shaken hands."

73169989 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murunwa%20Makwarela | Murunwa Makwarela | Murunwa Makwarela (born 1972) is a South African politician, genetic engineer, academic and businessman who is the Mayor of Tshwane, in office since 28 February 2023. A member of the Congress of the People, he serves as the party's lone councillor in the municipality. Prior to his election as mayor, he was the council speaker, serving as part of a multi-party coalition led by the Democratic Alliance and other parties.
Early life and education
Makwarela was born in 1972 in Cullinan outside Pretoria in the then-Transvaal Province of South Africa. He grew up in the village of Tshitereke in the Venda bantustan. Makwarela graduated from the University of Venda in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science in Botany and Zoology. He subsequently studied at the University of Natal's Durban campus from which he obtained an honours degree in Plant Biotechnology in 1995 followed by a Master of Science in Eucalyptus Genetic Engineering in 1997. He received his doctorate from University of the Witwatersrand in 2006. While completing his doctorate, he did his research at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Institute in Missouri in the United States.
Career
Makwarela started his career at the University of the Witwatersrand where he worked as a researcher cassava genetic engineering between 2000 and 2005. From 2005 to 2007, he was the first Divisional Head: Gene Banks at the Agricultural Research Council. Makwarela then found employment at the City of Tshwane as the strategic executive director of the municipality's Agriculture and Environmental Management Department between 2007 and 2012. He then proceeded to work for the TAHAL Group as the chief executive officer of the company's South African branch, TAHAL South Africa between 2012 and 2014.
Makwarela also served as a non-executive director and as board chairperson of the Biofuel Business Incubator from 2014 to 2019. He was a non-executive director at the SA Essential Oil Business Incubator as well. He served as a non-executive director at the Johannesburg Development Agency as chairperson of the HRREMCO committee from 2020 to 2021 and as a non-executive director at the Johannesburg Market from 2021 to 2022. He is also a co-founder of and chairperson of the Maluti Green Med, a cannabis-licenced pharmaceutical company, based in Lesotho.
Political career
Makwarela was appointed regional chairperson of the Congress of the People in Tshwane in 2020. He was elected as the party's lone proportional representation councillor in the City of Tshwane in the November 2021 local government elections.
Tshwane council speaker
Makwarela was elected speaker of the Tshwane City Council on 20 January 2022 as part of a coalition agreement COPE signed with the Democratic Alliance, ActionSA, the African Christian Democratic Party, the Inkatha Freedom Party, and the Freedom Front Plus to form a majority government in the council. In April 2022, the African National Congress and the Economic Freedom Fighters called for him to resign as council speaker amid allegations of graft and sexual assault levelled against him, which he responded to by saying: It"s all lies. As things stand, it's premature for me to resign. The ANC wants to use these untested allegations as a political plot and to be a law unto themselves."
On 17 November 2022, Makwerela opened a criminal case at the Brooklyn Police Station after he was allegedly assaulted by ANC councillors during a council meeting two days earlier.
On 13 February 2023, Randall Williams announced his resignation as Tshwane mayor, however, he soon after amended it, changing the date of his resignation to 28 February 2023, which caused confusion amongst councillors. Makwarela's office sought legal advice and Makwarela announced on 21 February 2023 that Williams' first resignation letter was valid and his second one not, which meant that the metro was now without a mayor. The DA, as per the coalition agreement signed between the parties, nominated MP Cilliers Brink as their candidate whom Makwarela initially pledged to support. COPE was soon removed from the coalition after Makwarela refused to schedule an urgent council meeting to elect a new mayor.
Mayor of Tshwane
During a council meeting on 28 February 2023, Makwarela was nominated for the position of mayor by the African Transformation Movement with the support of the EFF and ANC. Makwarela defeated Brink in the mayoral vote which saw a majority of 112 councillors voting for him and only 101 councillors voting for Brink. It is suspected that some of the DA's coalition partners voted for Makwarela.

It is the third installment of her Neapolitan Novels, preceded by My Brilliant Friend and The Story of a New Name, and succeeded by The Story of the Lost Child. It was translated to English by Ann Goldstein in 2014.
The novel was adapted by HBO and RaiTV in their series My Brilliant Friend. The content of this novels corresponds to the third season of the show, which aired in February 2022.
Plot
Before her wedding, Elena briefly goes back to Naples. Lila finally confides to her about the bad situation she is living in the bologna factory where she works, where she is subject to brutal work and to sexual harassment. Pasquale and Nadia convince Lila to go to a meeting of the Italian Communist Party, where she shares about her working conditions. This causes the people present to write a panphlet about her boss and piquet the factory, which in turn causes her to be more harassed. At night, however, Lila and Enzo study informatics, believing this will lead to a better life.
Lenù writes an article dennouncing the situation of the factory, and, with Pietro's connections, she manages to have it published in the newspaper L'Unità. This brings her a discrete fame, but she soon goes back to Florence for her marriage with Pietro.
Lenù had planned not to have children right away, but discovers too late that Pietro did not agree with that plan. She becomes pregnant in her honeymoon, giving birth to her daughter Adele (Dede), named after Pietro's mother. Two years later she has her second daughter, Elsa. At home with two young girls, Lenù has a hard time writing, and feels trapped and allienated. She manages at cost to write another book, based on her and Lila's childhood in Naples, but after Adele, Pietro's mother and her editor, judges the book to have no merit, she abandons the project.
Lenù briefly comes back to Naples to find the city much changed. Lila and Enzo's computer lessons paid off, and they managed to find work for IBM as computer programs, constructing a better life. They have now been working with Michele Solara, who the neighborhood continues to fear for his Camorra connections. When Lenù is shocked to learn this, and compares it to a betrayal, Lila tells her that Lenù's little sister, Elisa, has been living with Marcello Solara.
In Florence, Lenù runs into Nino again when her husband Pietro brings him home. She discovers she is still attracted to him despite the fact that he abandoned her friend after their love affair. She feels inspired by Nino, who seems to recognize her intellect and blames Pietro for letting her be wasted by a routine with small children. Inspired by this, she writes a feminist text which Adele deems worthy of publication. She and Nino start an affair, which makes Elena realize how unhappy she is in her marriage.
Lenù tells Lila she plans to leave her husband to be with Nino, which horrifies her friend. Nino tells her he can't leave his wife, and Lenù decides to leave Pietro with or without him. The book ends when they board a plane together.
Main characters
Elena Greco (known as Lenuccia or Lenù), the narrator and main character. At the age of twenty-five, she marries Pietro Airota, and they have two young daughters, Adele (Dede) and Elsa. She is quickly disillusioned by the marriage, and which further unravels when she meets again her childhood love, Nino Sarratore.
Raffaella Cerullo (known as Lila or Lina), Lila's best friend. She starts a relationship with Enzo, and starts working at IBM.
Pietro Airota, Lenù's husband, and father to Dede and Elsa. A young professor at the university, he believes his carrier and intellect are superior to his wife's, which she comes to resent. At the end of the novel, she leaves him for Nino Sarratore.
Giovanni Satrratore (Nino), Lenù's childhood love and Lila's former lover, who comes back to her life when she is living in Florence. He is married with a son, and has at least two children outside of the marriage.
Enzo Scanno, Lila and Lenù's childhood friend, who starts a relationship with Lila after he helps her leave her abusive marriage.
Themes and reception
The book was very well received by the critics.
It was praised by its portrayal of an intelligent young woman who finds motherhood stifling, something not often portrayed, as presented by Roxana Robinson for The New York Times: "She (Elena) has joined the intelligentsia and is about to marry into the middle class, yet her life is still rife with limitations. Her distinguished husband is narrow-minded and restrictive, and she finds motherhood numbing."
The novel was also praised for its social themes, showing the neighborhood's changes under the Camorra's influence, and the struggles during the 70s Lead Years in Italy: "During the struggles of the 1970s between the Communists and the Socialists she [Elena] turns to politics, only to find that the Camorra rules here too."
Often presented as the main topic of the series, the theme of female friendship appears also in the third volume, in spite of it being the one where the two main characters spend the most time apart. Lila and Lenù continue to influence each other, since one is always pushing the other: "The book’s center is Elena’s friendship with Lila, yet this woman-to-woman relationship is always threatened."

Roger Cohen wrote for the New York Review of Books: "The interacting qualities of the two women are central to the quartet, which is at once introspective and sweeping, personal and political, covering the more than six decades of the two women’s lives and the way those lives intersect with Italy’s upheavals, from the revolutionary violence of the leftist Red Brigades to radical feminism."
Darrin Franich has called the novels the series of the decade, saying: "The Neapolitan Novels are the series of the decade because they are so clearly of this decade: conflicted, revisionist, desperate, hopeful, revolutionary, euphorically feminine even in the face of assaultive male corrosion."

73170067 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employee%20Retention%20Credit | Employee Retention Credit | The Employee Retention Credit is a U.S. federal tax credit for employers.
Overview
The Employee Retention Credit is a refundable tax credit against an employer's payroll taxes. It was established during the Donald Trump administration in 2020 through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) in order to help employers during the pandemic.
Eligibility
There are two ways for an employer to be eligible for the Employee Retention Credit for a particular calendar quarter.
The employer experienced a significant decline in gross receipts, or
The employer either fully or partially suspended its operations because of governmental orders related to COVID-19 that limited commerce, travel, or group meetings.
An eligible employer must be either a for-profit entity or an organizations that is tax-exempt under section 501(c) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Significant Decline in Gross Receipts
For 2020, a significant decline in gross receipts begins during a calendar quarter in which gross receipts decreased by at least 50percent compared to the corresponding quarter in 2019. Gross receipts include all income for the employer, including donations and grants. When an employer meets this test for a calendar quarter, the effective date is the first day of that particular calendar quarter. When an employer's gross receipts for a calendar quarter decreased no more than 20percent compared to its gross receipts for the same corresponding quarter in 2019, the employer's eligibility ends on the day following that calendar quarter.
For 2021, a "significant decline in gross receipts" begins during a calendar quarter in which gross receipts decreased by at least 20percent compared to its gross receipts for the same corresponding quarter in 2019. Alternatively, an employer can compare its gross receipts to the previous calendar quarter.
Fully or Partially Suspended Operations
The employer is eligible if there was an order from the government to limit commerce, travel, or group meetings that resulted in the employer's partial or full suspension of operations.
An order from the government includes an official rule from any federal, state, or local government that has jurisdiction over the employer. The governmental order must have caused the employer to either fully or partially suspend its operations.
Only governmental orders and manditory requirements qualify. Recommendations, suggestions, and best practices issued by governmental entities do not qualify.
In order to qualify, the order from the government must have affected an activity of the employer that constituted at least 10percent of the employer's total gross receipts in 2019. Alternatively, the limitation must affect a portion of the employer's operations that constituted at least 10% of the working hours performed by its employees in 2019.
Amount of the Employee Retention Credit
For 2020
The Employee Retention Credit is equal to 50percent of qualified wages paid to eligible employees between March 13, 2020, and December 31, 2020.
Eligible employee is defined differently depending on the size of the employer. If the employer averaged 100 or fewer full-time employees during 2019, then all of its employees are eligible employees. For larger employers, only employees who were paid for not performing work are considered eligible employees.
Qualified wages are defined as wages that are subject to social security tax and that were paid to employees between March 13, 2020, and December 31, 2020. Qualified wages may not exceed $10,000 per eligible employee during that period.
In addition, an eligible employer may take the Employee Retention Credit based on 50percent of the qualified health plan expenses that the employer incurred and paid for eligible employees between March 13, 2020, and December 31, 2020. Qualified health plan expenses include employer-paid costs for group health insurance, group dental insurance, group vision insurance, group prescription drug insurance, health flexible spending account (FSA), or a healthcare reimbursement account (HRA).
An employer is not allowed to take the Employee Retention Credit on any wages or health plan expenses that the employer counted for its Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness, Emergency Paid Sick Leave, or Emergency Paid Family Leave.
Because an employer may claim a 50-percent tax credit on up to $10,000 per eligible employee, an employer may take a maximum tax credit of $5,000 per eligible employee in 2020.
For 2021
The Employee Retention Credit is equal to 70 percent of qualified wages paid between January 1, 2021, and September 30, 2021. If the employer is a startup recovery businesses, then it is based on qualified wages paid between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021.
Qualified wages are wages subject to social security tax and paid to employees between January 1, 2021, and September 30, 2021, limited to up to $10,000 per quarter per employee in 2021. Just like 2020, qualified wages also include qualified health plan expenses, but exclude wages used for its Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan forgiveness and payments of Emergency Paid Sick Leave and Emergency Paid Family Leave. A 70-percent tax credit on up to $10,000 per employee per quarter means the maximum Employee Retention Credit is $7,000 per employee per quarter in 2021.
For 2021, if the employer had an average of 500 or fewer full-time employees in 2019, then all of the employer's employees are eligible employees. Otherwise, only employees who were paid and who did not perform work are generally eligible employees.
Receiving the Employee Retention Credit
During 2020 and 2021, an employer was able to use the Employee Retention Credit to reduce its federal tax deposits, namely its the deposits of federal withholding tax, employee social security tax, employee Medicare tax, employer social security tax, and employer Medicare tax.
If the employer's Employee Retention Credit exceeded its federal tax deposits, the employer was able to receive the additional tax credit refunded to it by check when it filed its Form 941.
Employers that wanted to receive the tax credit before its next Form 941 was filed was able to fax a completed Form 7200 to the Internal Revenue Service in order to request a check sooner.
An employer that has already filed its Form 941 for each quarter may file a Form 941-X with the IRS in order to request the tax credit be refunded to it by a check by mail.

Procedure
Under the internal rules of the Democratic Party, if an incumbent Secretary resigns, the National Assembly can either decide to dissolve itself and call a new primary election, or choose a new Secretary who will serve until the expiration of the Assembly's five years term.
History
The 2019 Democratic Party leadership election had seen the victory of Nicola Zingaretti, who had become Secretary after winning over 66% of the vote. On 4 March 2021, Zingaretti resigned, claiming he was disappointed in his members for only caring about power, and asked the National Assembly to choose former Prime Minister Enrico Letta as his successor. Letta, who at the time was working in Paris as a university professor, immediately returned to Italy, where he was elected Secretary by the National Assembly in a nearly unanimous vote. In his first speech as leader of the Democratic Party, he claimed there was a need to form a broad alliance of centre-left and centrist political forces. In the same speech he also expressed support for socially progressive measures, such as making it easier for children of immigrants to obtain Italian citizenship and lowering the minimum voting age to 16. He further claimed he would have attempted to introduce institutional reforms which would have discouraged party defections and changed the electoral law.

Synopsis
The hour-long comedy sketch special
shows a series of comedy sketches taking the audience from the womb, theough childhood, adulthood and beyond, accompanied by song.
Production
Demetriou said he was approached by Netflix to pitch sketch comedy ideas. Initially, he said he planned “a more sprawling sketch show and then we figured that an hour is a testing amount of time for something that isn’t narrative.” Demetriou described the show as “birth to death in songs and sketches." The show was commissioned prior to the Covid-19 pandemic and had a delayed production until after the outbreak. The project was produced by BBC Studios Productions and Guilty Party Pictures with Demetriou writing and starring.

Reception
Stuart Heritage in The Guardian said he “laughed harder and for longer than I can remember”. Isobel Lewis in The Independent said the comedy was “decidedly British but with a Netflix sheen…silly, but lacking the sharpness of Stath or his live sketch characters. It’s that attempt to straddle both worlds that leaves Demetriou’s comedy feeling surprisingly watered down.” Chris Bennion in The Daily Telegraph called it “a wild, ribald sketch comedy special that… shows, in flashes, its creator’s sublime genius, offering moments of sheer joy, punctuated by longer, more baffling sections that ultimately disappoint.”

The current Peruvian ambassador to Cuba is Gonzalo Flavio Guillén Beker.
History
Peru and Cuba established relations in 1902. After the Cuban Revolution, relations continued, but their troubled nature led to Peru to sever diplomatic relationships on December 30, 1960, leading to the closure of the Peruvian embassy. After the establishment of Juan Velasco Alvarado's Revolutionary Government, Peru reestablished its relations with Cuba on 8 July 1972, which have remained since.
1980 crisis
On early 1980, a small group of Cuban citizens made their way into the embassy, instigating an international crisis over the diplomatic status of around 10,000 asylum-seeking Cubans who joined them over the following days after the Cuban government ceased its protection of the embassy.

73170268 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ennui%20%28novel%29 | Ennui (novel) | Ennui is a novel by Maria Edgeworth published in 1809. It is a fictitious memoir of the Earl of Glenthorn, an English man who experiences excessive boredom (ennui) and attempts to find novelty and meaning in life. Edgeworth began writing the novel before 1805, and though she said she finished it that year, she likely continued revising it until around 1808.
Background and textual history
Maria Edgeworth was an Irish writer who wrote about national identity, gender roles, and social issues. Her novels include Ennui, Castle Rackrent (1800), and The Absentee (1812).
The pre-publication history of the novel is unclear. While Edgeworth wrote in an 1805 letter that she was "finishing Ennui", her father later wrote that she substantially revised it after 1805, and she included scenes inspired from an 1806 event. She probably continued writing and revising the novel until a year or two before its 1809 publication. The novel was published shortly after the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and the official union between Ireland and Britain in 1800. It was inspired in part by Erasmus Darwin's Zoonomia; or, The Laws of Organic Life (1794), a medical tract discussing ennui by a family friend, and William Cullen's First Lines of the Practice of Physic (1777–1784). The novel was written during a time of great literary interest in ennui, including Thomas Skinner Surr's A Winter in London (1806) and several stories in Lady's Magazine.
Edgeworth published the novel alongside two others in her Tales of Fashionable Life, a collection of scandalous stories in the model of other commercially successful writing. By 1813, Edgeworth published three further editions of the text, and her Tales were successful.
Synopsis
The Earl of Glenthorn is a rich English man with excessive boredom – ennui, a male condition corresponding to hysteria. His marriage is unhappy and culminates in divorce. He attempts to find novelty in life by gambling, eating food, and traveling; gambling is the only activity which brings him any excitement. He tries to kill himself but fails. He visits Ireland to find meaning in life and engages in democratic projects, yet he remains bored. His parentage is revealed: He was switched at birth and he is not the true Earl of Glenthorn but the son of an Irish mother. Following this reveal, he has a more fulfilling and appreciative life, which includes being remarried and taking on a new name.
Reception and legacy
According to Esther Wohlgemut, in Edgeworth's novel, "foreignness is not so much a political classification as a psychological relationship" that can lead to emotional excesses like ennui. She argues that while Glenthorn ultimately visits Ireland, he remains foreign to that place; even though his parents are Irish, he has an essentially English identity prior to the reveal. Critics generally understand the novel as a commentary on the formation of the British–Irish union, a union which Edgeworth had conflicting opinions on. The novel is understood by critic Deborah Weiss as a commentary on class, though she understands Edgeworth's writing as not anti-aristocratic; for Weiss, Edgeworth's essential point is that all social classes can improve.

73170291 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shilaidaha%20Rabindra%20Kuthibari | Shilaidaha Rabindra Kuthibari | Shilaidaha Rabindra Kuthibari, in short Shilaidah Kuthibari, is one of the major tourist places in Bangladesh. It is located seven kilometers north of Kushtia on the banks of Padma in Kumarkhali Upazila of Kushtia District.
History
This Kuthi was built by a indigo-planter named Shelly which was later owned by Ramlochan Tagore. In 1807, Dwarkanath Tagore got the ownership of this kuthibari with the inheritance of estate. In 1892, due to the erosion of the river caused by the flood, the Kuthibari was likely to disappear, so it was demolished and a new building was constructed elsewhere in the next year. Dwarkanath Tagore's grandson Rabindranath Tagore came to Shilaidaha several times to look after the estate. He had the opportunity to stay in this cottage. He wrote many literatures during his stay at Shilaidah Kuthibari. During his stay here in 1912, he began the work of translating the Gitanjali into English. During his stay in this building in 1905, he wrote a song which is now the national anthem of Bangladesh.
Before its acquisition to the Government of East Bengal in 1947, the ownership of this Kuthibari was transferred from the Tagore family to another landlord. In 1958 it came under the Department of Archeology of Pakistan. In 1969, the provincial government planned to preserve it as an archaeological site. Since the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, it has been under the Department of Archeology of Bangladesh. In 2013, then President of India, Pranab Mukherjee visited Shilaidah Kuthibari. He then told the government that he wanted to provide financial assistance to build a complex at the Kuthibari site. After four years, the decision was finalized between the two countries and the construction of the complex was completed by 2020. In 2018, a dam was constructed to protect Shilaidah Rabindra Kuthibari, but a part of it collapsed in the same year. Later in 2022, another part of the dam collapsed.
Architecture
Shilidaha Kuthibari was built on 11 acre land of the village. This walled building is three storey museum that has 18 rooms with a central hall. There are a total of 17 doors for entering and exiting the 18 rooms. The building has a total of 30 windows to let in sunlight. The building has an area of 273.87 square meters. Built in Indo-Saracenic style, this building is 8.74 meters high.
Tourist attractions
Layout
There are two buildings near the gate of Kuthibari. The two buildings are named Gitanjali and Sonar Tori. There is a library, two ponds, a mango orchard, a garden and an auditorium.
Museum
In 1986, it became a museum. The Department of Archaeology has preserved at least 80 photographs of Rabindranath Tagore as well as items used by Rabindranath Tagore at Shilaidah Kuthibari.
Tourism
It is a tourist attraction for Bangladeshi as well as foreign tourists. A three-day event is organized every year on the occasion of Rabindranath Tagore's birth anniversary. In the fiscal year 2017-18, the Bangladeshi government earned by selling entry tickets to the Kuthibari. However, the government refrained from organizing events here in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In popular culture
The stall of the Department of Archeology set up at the 2022 Ekushey Book Fair was modeled after Rabindra Kuthibari.

73170344 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koos/Together | Koos/Together | The Koos/Together Movement (), officially Social Movement for Peace and Stable Development of Estonia (; ) is a pro-Russian political movement established in Estonia on 19 May 2022, which has joined the Estonian United Left Party for the 2023 Riigikogu election.
The non-profit association Koos Rahu Eest in Eesti is registered with the movement.
The movement is led by chiropractor Aivo Peterson (born Krõlov) and crypto businessman Oleg Ivanov.
On 24 April 2022, Ivanov posted a video where he called the Bucha massacre staged. He also urged the "Baltic regimes", which can organize a similar murder in the Baltic countries, to shoot "dissidents". "Estonia is destined to be destroyed in the war with Russia. The allies are fighting Russia with the hands of their vassal states, and not directly. According to the plans of the allies, Estonia will be destroyed. Everything is being done so that the Baltic states become the next hotbed of war. The same criminals who brought the masses to syringes are now pushing countries to go to war with Russia."
In November 2022, Ivanov participated in the program of the well-known Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov, where he said that Estonia should be open to negotiations, but the current orientation towards "escalation" does not bode well: "Our main message is peace and inter-ethnic harmony in Estonia."
"I know that Putin launched a military operation. But I also know that if Putin had not done it, the Ukrainian army would have attacked Donbass within days," Danish Radio (DR) quoted Ivanov as saying.
On 30 November 2022, the registry department of the Tartu County Court did not register the movement as a political party, as the total number of its members was below the required minimum - at least 500 members. Therefore, the movement decided to participate in the 2023 elections as part of the Estonian United Left Party.
The election program of the movement envisages the neutrality of the Republic of Estonia and non-membership of military alliances (i.e. Estonia outside of NATO), as well as granting Estonian citizenship to all people who lived here in 1991 and abolishing the institution of non-citizens (the so-called "gray passport"). The election program also includes "preservation and protection of traditional values, family, religion, cultural and historical heritage. A ban on rewriting history and destroying monuments. Defense spending should not exceed 1% of the gross domestic product."

He was a member of the Lwów School of Mathematics.
Biography
Early life and career (1889–1919)
Żyliński was born in to a landless noble family. In 1907 he graduated with a gold medal from the gymnasium in Kiev, and in 1911 with a first-degree diploma from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the University of Imperial Saint Vladimir University in Kiev, where he then worked from 1912to 1914, while doing internships in Göttingen, Cambridge and Marburg. In 1914 he obtained a master's degree (equivalent to today's PhD).
In 1916 he was drafted into the Imperial Russian army. He graduated from a military-engineering school in Kiev and an electrical engineering school in St. Petersburg in 1917 put himself at the disposal of the 1st Polish Corps. From 1918, as an associate professor, he lectured at the Polish University College and the Higher Technical Institute in Kiev. In 1919 he stayed in Warsaw, performing military service as an officer of the Polish Army.

From October 1919, he was associate professor at the Jan Kazimierz University in Lwów and in July 1922 Żyliński was appointed full professor at University in Lwów, and then head of the Department of Mathematics A at the Faculty of Philosophy. In 1925, he proved that "there are exactly two binary functors (namely, binegation and the Sheffer stroke) each of which is sufficient for defining all other unary and binary functors of classical propositional logic." His colleagues included mathematicians such as Stefan Banach and Hugo Steinhaus. 1929 he was dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the Jagiellonian University and was the promoter of Władysław Orlicz's doctoral dissertation.
During the Soviet occupation of Lwów he worked as the head of the Algebra Department at the University of Lwów, and during the German occupation (1941–1944) he took part in clandestine teaching at the Jagiellonian University.
Postwar career (1945–1954)
After Lwów was reoccupied by the Red Army, he started working at the university. From March 15, 1945, Żyliński was a member of the Union of Polish Patriots in Lviv but was removed from the union in 1946. After the deportation from of Poles Lviv, he initially settled in Łódź. At that time, he worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and was also nominated as consul general in Kiev, but did not assume this office. In 1947 he moved to Gliwice, where in the years 1946–1951 he was the head of the Department of Mathematics at the Faculty of Engineering and Construction of the Silesian University of Technology. In 1951 he retired and returned to Lodz. Żyliński died there in 1954 of a cerebral hemorrhage.

The competition will see a format change, with League A now featuring sixteen teams in two groups of a Swiss system, followed by a quarter-final round. The Nations League will begin with the group stage in September 2023, and will conclude with the Nations League Finals in March 2024. The Nations League also serves as qualification for CONCACAF teams to the 2024 Copa América in the United States.
Format
On 28 February 2023, CONCACAF announced a format change for the 2023–24 season of the CONCACAF Nations League. As a result, no teams will be relegated from the 2022–23 season.
The size of League A will be increased from twelve to sixteen teams, and will now feature a quarter-final round. The twelve lowest-ranked teams in the CONCACAF Rankings of March 2023 will enter the group stage, now using a Swiss-system tournament format. The teams will be divided into two groups of six teams, with each team playing four matches against group opponents (two at home and two away). The top four teams will advance to the quarter-finals, and will be joined by the four top-ranked teams in the CONCACAF Rankings of March 2023. The teams advancing from the group stage will be drawn into ties against the top-ranked teams, which will be played on a two-legged home-and-away basis. The four quarter-final winners will advance to the Nations League Finals, which retains its previous format of a semi-final round, third place play-off and final match to determine the champions. In addition, the 2023–24 Nations League will determine the six CONCACAF teams which will qualify as guests for the 2024 Copa América in the United States. The quarter-final winners will qualify directly to the tournament, while the losers will advance to a qualification play-in, featuring two single-leg matches.
League B will remain unchanged, featuring sixteen teams divided into four groups of four. Each team will play six matches in a double round-robin home-and-away format (three at home and three away). Following the format change, League C will be reduced from thirteen to nine teams and from four to three groups. Teams will be divided into three groups of three teams, with each team playing four matches in a double round-robin home-and-away format (two at home and two away).
Promotion and relegation will resume for the 2023–24 season, with the fifth and sixth placed teams in League A and the fourth-placed teams in League B being relegated for the next season. The group winners of Leagues B and C will be promoted, as will the best second-placed team of League C.
Entrants
All of CONCACAF's 41 member associations will enter in the competition. Teams will be divided into leagues based on their results of the 2022–23 season, while the pots will be determined by the CONCACAF Ranking of March 2023. The four top-ranked teams in League A will receive a bye to the quarter-finals. The group stage draw will take place on 16 May 2023.

Days later, the state body decided to change the date to April 18, which was criticized by the producer of the documentary and was described as an attempt at censorship. Peruvian directors Marcela Cossios and Marina León added to the criticism for the reprogramming, as well as the candidate for the presidency Verónika Mendoza of the Together for Perú party. The time change caused the documentary to be massively pirated and shared. do for viewing through YouTube or Facebook, causing a Streisand effect.

73170608 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ylostins | Ylostins | The Ylostins was a Frisian castle or a so-called stins in the city of IJlst, Friesland, Netherlands
History
It is not clear whether the city of IJlst gave its name to the Ylostins, or whether it was the other way around. The Harinxma thoe IJlst family founded the Ylostins in the Middle Ages, probably around 1400. After the family, the castle was also called Harinxmastins. The Ylostins was on the south side of the city. Together with the church on the north side, it formed a defensible complex. The owner of the Ylostins was also the “eeheer or olderman” of IJlst.
The Ylostins consisted of a detached residential tower with bartizans at the top, with an U-shaped residential building next to it. The tower was additionally crowned with a hipped roof with decorative weather vanes. There also seem to have been painted windows, probably by the couple Tiete and Bernardina van Galama. If this is correct, then these windows may have been made by Julius van Galama, who married in IJlst in 1670. The last remains of the Ylostins were demolished in 1778. In terms of shape, the stins had great similarities with the Gruytermastins in Sneek.
The residential center for the elderly in IJlst is named after the castle: 'Nij Ylostins'.

73170688 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middlesbrough%20Development%20Corporation | Middlesbrough Development Corporation | The Middlesbrough Development Corporation (MDC) is a proposed mayoral development corporation to fund and manage regeneration in Middlesbrough town centre and Middlehaven, England.
History
The establishment was first proposed in August 2022 by the Tees Valley Combined Authority as a publicly owned statutory body with increased powers (including planning, business rate relief, and acquisition of land by compulsory purchase order). Initially, the corporation was planned to be in operation by the end of 2022.
The proposals included £10 million of investment from the Tees Valley Combined Authority, as well as £8 million from the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities to transform the area of Gresham. Following the consultation, a shadow board for the corporation was established comprising elected and private-sector members from:
Tees Valley Combined Authority (mayor Ben Houchen, a chief executive)
Middlesbrough Council (mayor Andy Preston, deputy mayor, a chief executive)
Cleveland Police (commissioner Steve Turner, a chief constable)
Teesside University (vice chair)
and a member of a local non-profit youth organisation
At a council meeting on 24 February 2023, Middlesbrough Council voted 16 to 12 against the planned development corporation. All 16 Labour party councilors opposed the plans, and many councilors (including mayor Andy Preston) did not attend.
The major concerns voiced were around a loss of planning powers for the council, the transfer of council assets to the new entity, and a 'lack of expertise' on the board. The proposed council assets for transfer to the MDC include:
Middlehaven - including brownfield sites, Middlesbrough Dock, and surrounding land of around 40 acres
Middlesbrough bus station
The Crown (former pub) and neighbouring units (Linthorpe Road)
Broadcasting House Enterprise Centre and freehold of Sainsbury's site (Wilson Street)
Units under A66 along Wilson Street
and a number of sites and council owned car parks (Station Street, Amber Street, Buxton Street, and Jurys Inn) earmarked for redevelopment.
On 28 February 2023, the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities confirmed the development corporation would go ahead despite not receiving backing from Middlesbrough Council. Middlesbrough MP Andy McDonald called it a “scandalous denial of democracy". However, the announcement came after 25 of the 46 councilors signed an open letter of support for the MDC sent to the secretary of state Michael Gove.

73170866 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun%20Odyssey%20379 | Sun Odyssey 379 | The Sun Odyssey 379 is a French sailboat that was designed by Marc Lombard as a cruiser and first built in 2011.
The design was named the 2012 Domestic Boat of the Year and Best Midsize Cruiser by Cruising World magazine.
The design was developed into the Sun Odyssey 389 in 2015.
Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 2011 until 2015, but it is now out of production.
Design
The Sun Odyssey 379 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass, with wood trim.

The hull has a hard chine, a plumb stem, a reverse transom with a drop-down tailgate, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by dual wheels tiller and a fixed "L"-shaped fin keel with a weighted bulb, optional shoal-draft wing keel or stub keel and centerboard, combined with twin rudders. A life raft well is fitted aft.
The fin keel model displaces empty and carries of cast iron ballast, the shoal draft version displaces and carries of cast iron ballast, while the centerboard version displaces and carries of ballast.
The keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of , the shoal draft keel-equipped version of the boat has a draft of , while the centerboard-equipped version has a draft of with the centerboard extended and with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water.

Operational history
In a 2012 boats.com review, Zuzana Prochazka wrote, "it is a sign of the times that a 37-foot boat like the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 379 is the entry length in a new product line. Boats have been getting bigger in recent years but larger has not necessarily meant more unique or comfortable. It seems to take more innovation to create a streamlined vessel that offers as much as bigger models, which is exactly what Jeanneau has done with this boat."
In Sail Magazine, Bill Springer's 2012 review concluded, "plenty of boats call themselves good-looking and rewarding to sail. Many boats are also designed to be comfortable at sea and in port. But after testing the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 379 in a healthy sailing breeze, I can honestly say it comes closer to achieving these goals than most. It was a blast to sail. It was easy to sail. It was comfortable to sail, and its accommodations are both spacious and stylish."
Alvah Simon wrote in a 2013 review for Cruising World, "while wanting to appear hard hitting and discerning, I am hard pressed to find any criticisms of this boat. It’s the rare boat I test that I would personally want to own and operate. But for me the 379 hits its marks perfectly regarding safety, size, style, speed, accommodation and equipment."

73170881 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List%20of%20ambassadors%20of%20Austria%20to%20Peru | List of ambassadors of Austria to Peru | The Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Austria to Peru is the official representative of the Republic of Austria to the Republic of Peru. The ambassador in Lima is also accredited to Bolivia.
Both countries established relations in the 19th century. In 1851, Austria-Hungary recognized the independence of Peru, and both countries subsequently established relations. By 1859, ethnic Germans from Austria and Germany established and founded the colony of Pozuzo.
As a result of World War I, Peru severed relations with both Germany and Austria-Hungary, reestablishing them with the First Austrian Republic after the war. After the incorporation of Austria into the German Reich in 1938, Peru ceased to have relations with Austria, instead continuing its relations with Germany until 1942. During this period, the Austrian population in Peru saw itself polarized between Austrian loyalists and National Socialists.
In 1947, Peru recognized the Republic of Austria, and in 1949, bilateral relations were resumed, being elevated to embassy level in 1968.
