C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS)
C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) is a long period comet discovered by ATLAS South Africa on 22 February 2023 and independently found in images by the Purple Mountain Observatory taken on 9 January 2023. The comet will pass perihelion at a distance of on 28 September 2024, when it is expected to become visible by naked eye. Observational history During the search perfomed by Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System using the 0.5-m f/2 Schmidt reflector at the Sutherland Observatory in South Africa an asteroidal object with an estimated magnitude of 18.1 was detected in images taken on 22 February 2023, when the comet was about from the Sun. After the first orbit calculations it was noticed that it is the same as an 18.7 magnitude object reported to the Minor Planet Center by the Purple Mountain Observatory that was detected in images taken on 9 January 2023. It was entered in the objects waiting confirmation list but after no follow up observations were reported, it was removed in 30 January 2023 and was considered lost. Based on the naming convections of comets, the comet received the name of both observatories. The object was subsequently detected in images taken by Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) in Palomar Observatory on 22 December 2022, when it had a magnitude of 19.2-19.6. These images also revealed it had a very condensed coma and a small straight tail 10" in length, indicating it is a comet. More evidence of cometary activity were reported by Hidetaka Sato, M. Mattiazzo, and Cristóvão Jacques. Upon discovery announcement the comet was estimated to reach a total magnitude of +3 during perihelion, assuming that an absolute magnitude (H) of 7 and 2.5n = 8, when it will be in low solar elongation. It will become better visible from Earth about three weeks after perihelion, after mid October, when it is estimated to be of forth magnitude. Gideon van Buiten estimated that the comet will reach a magnitude of 0.9 during perihelion and -0.2 at the time of the closest approach to Earth, assuming H = 5.2 and 2.5n = 10, and without taking into consideration the effects of forward scattering. Orbit The comet has a retrograde orbit, lying at an inclination of 139°. Τhe comet has its perihelion at a distance of 0.39 AU and the closest approach to Earth will be on 13 October 2024, at a distance of 0.47 AU. The comet doesn't approach close to the giant planets of the solar system. Due to planetary perturbations, the outbound orbit will be slightly larger than the inbound orbit.

Laghumānasa
Laghu-mānasa (c. 932 CE) is a Sanskrit-language text on astronomy by the Indian astronomer Mañjula. It is a karana text containing simple rules for astronomical calculations, aimed at panchanga-makers. It remained highly popular across a vast region of present-day India for several years: the first pre-modern commentary on it was written in Kashmir in 958, and the last one was written in 1732 in Kerala. Date and authorship Laghu-mānasa is the only surviving work of Mañjula, whose geographic location is not known. Mañjula adopted 10 March 932 CE (Saturday noon of Chaitra 1, Shaka 854) as the epoch of calculation in text, which suggests that he started composing the text sometime in 932 CE. According to Surya-deva Yajva's commentary on the text, Mañjula studied several works on astronomy, and summarized them in an earlier work called Laghu-mānasa. He asked one of his pupils to take a copy of the work to the local king. The pupil did so, but took credit for writing the work. When Mañjula later visited the king, he asked the king to test him and the pupil by making them write another text on the same day, in the king's custody. Mañjula then wrote the present-day Laghu-mānasa, while the pupil was unable to write anything. The king banished the pupil, rewarded Mañjula, and popularized the latest Laghu-mānasa. Content Laghu-mānasa, also called Laghumanāsam, is a karana text, that is, a work containing short and simple rules for astronomical calculations aimed to help the panchanga-makers. It is the smallest karana text of classical Indian astronomy: the main text contains 60 anushtubh-metre verses that provide the rules, plus an additional 5 arya-metre verses that provide the epochal constants required for the calculations. According to commentator Surya-deva Yajva, Mañjula wrote the additional verses in the arya metre so as not to mix up the constants with the main text, and to remind the reader to revise the consonants every 100 years. The text provides much of the planetary model information known to the contemporary Indian astronomers, and appears to derive information from earlier sources including Aryabhata's various works (c. 500), Brahmagupta's Brahma-sphuta-siddhanta (c. 628 CE), and Lata-deva's Surya-siddhanta (6th century). Chapters Different commentators divide the text into chapters in different ways. The critical edition by K.S. Shukla divides the text into 9 chapters (Sanskrit names in IAST): Dhruvaka-nirūpaṇādhikāraḥ (Dhruvakas or constant parameters): Verses 1–2, 1'-5' Madhyagatyadhikāraḥ (Mean motion): Verses 3-10 Sphuṭa-gatyadhikāraḥ (True motion): Verses 11-17 Prakirṇakādhikāraḥ (Miscellaneous topics): Verses 18-21 Tripraśnādhikāraḥ (The three problems): Verses 22-30 Graha-yuti-grahaṇadvaya-parilekhanādhikāraḥ (Conjunction of two planets, eclipses, and their graphical representation): Verses 31-50 Grahodayādhikāraḥ (Rising and setting of heavenly bodies): Verses 51-55 Mahāpātādhikāraḥ (Vyatīpāta and Vaidhṛta): Verse 56 Candraśṛṅgonnatyadhikāraḥ (Elevation of moon's horns): Verses 57-77 Pratashti-dhara divides the text into 8 chapters: Dhruvaka-nirūpaṇādhikāra: Verses 1–2, 1'-5' Madhyagatyadhikāra: Verses 3-10 Sphuṭa-gatyadhikāra: Verses 11-17 Prakirṇakādhikāra: Verses 18-21 Tripraśnādhikāra: Verses 22-30 Graha-yuti-grahaṇadvaya-parilekhanādhikāra: Verses 31-50 Grahodayāstadhikāraḥ: Verses 51-55 Mahāpātendu-śṛṅgonnatyadhikāra: Verses 56-60 Surya-deva Yajva divides the text into 4 chapters, sub-dividing the first chapter into 3 sections: Chapter 1 Madhyamādhikāra: Verses 1–10, 1'-5' Sphuṭa-gatyadhikāra: Verses 11-17 Prakirṇakādhikāra: Verses 18-21 Tripraśnādhyāya: Verses 22-30 Grahaṇādhyāya: Verses 31-50 Grahodayāstamayādhikāra: Verses 51-60 Parameshvara's classification is almost same as that of Surya-deva Yajva, but he titles the fourth chapter Saṃkīrṇādhikāra. He includes an additional verse (53' in Shukla's critical edition), but states that some people omit it. Yallaya and Bhūdhara divide the text into 8 chapters: Madhya-grahādhikāra: Verses 1–10, 20 Graha-sphuṭādhikāra: Verses 11–19, 21 Tripraśnādhikāraḥ: Verses 22-30 Grahaṇa-graha-yuti-parilekhanādhyāya: Verses 31-50 Grahodayāstādhikāra: Verses 53' and 53-55 Mahāpātādhikāra: Verse 56 Candracchāyādhikāra: Verse 57 Candraśṛṅgonnatyadhikāra: Verses 58', 58-60 Legacy Laghu-mānasa provides short and simple calendaric methods, generally not known to the earlier Indian astronomers, and thus, became an important work in the Indian astronomy. It is the earliest known text to use the process of differentiation in finding the velocity of a planet. It also the earliest known Indian text to outline the lunar correction comprising evection (commentator Yallaya attributes this correction to the Vateshvara-siddhanta, but the surviving manuscripts of that work do not mention it). Unlike earlier astronomers, Mañjula rejects the theory of oscillatory motion of the equinoxes, and recommends a progressive precessional motion. Laghu-mānasa was popular across a vast area of present-day India, as evident from the commentaries written on it. Commentators on the work include Prashastidhara of Kashmir, Surya-deva Yajva of Gangai-konda-Cholapuram (Tamil Nadu); Yallaya of Skanda-someshvara (Andhra Pradesh); Parameshvara of Alattur (Kerala), Bhudhara of Kampilya (Uttar Pradesh), and an anonymous commentator of Karnata-desha (Karnataka). Writers from several other places adopted or referred to Mañjula's work; for example, Bhoja of Malwa (Madhya Pradesh), Dashabala of Gujarat, Bhaskara II of Bida (Maharashtra), and Shri-datta of Nepala. The work was especially popular in present-day Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, as late as until the 17th-18th centuries, as attested by the composition of Telugu (1695 CE) and Malayalam (1732 CE) commentaries there. Commentaries and derivative texts Historical commentaries on the text include: Sanskrit commentary (958 CE) by Prashasti-dhara of Kashmir Sanskrit commentary (1248 CE) by Surya-deva Yajva of Andhra Sanskrit commentary (1409 CE) by Parameshvara of Kerala Sanskrit commentary (1486 CE) by Yallaya of Andhra Sanskrit commentary (1572 CE) by Bhudhara of Kampilya Sanskrit commentary by an unknown author from Karnata-desha (present-day Karnataka) Telugu commentary (1695 CE) by Ayyalu Somayaji Balaya Malayalam commentary (1732 CE), attributed to Puthumana Soamayaji The following historical works are derived from the Laghu-mānasa: A text (1178 CE), possibly a commentary, by Mallikarjuna Suri; quoted in Yallaya's commentary A commentator on Mallikarjuna's work may have been responsible for introducing two corrections in Mañjula's work. Makaranda-mānasa (1478 CE), a now-lost work by Makaranda; mentioned in Bhudhara's commentary; possibly a revised edition of Laghu-mānasa with new initial constants (epoch) Laghu-mānasaritya Surya-chandra-grahananayanam is a 16th-century text based on Laghu-mānasa The following texts adopt Mañjula's rules: Rajamrganka (11th century), attributed to Bhoja of Malwa; adopts several of Mañjula's verses with or without alteration Ganakananda (1460 CE) of Surya Suri alias Suryacharya of Andhra, the teacher of Yallaya Siddhanta-sara (1596 CE) of Mallaya Yajva of Andhra Karanamrta(1530 CE) by Chitrabhanu of Shivapura (Covvuram) in present-day Kerala; adopts several verses Siddhanta-sangraha (1606 CE) of Vira Suri, son of Kottachenna of Andhra Graha-ganita-bhaskara(1613 CE) by Tamma Yajva of Andhra Karana-kamala-martanda of Dashabala; adopts Mañjula's formula for evection, and improves his formula for calculating the hour-angle from the day-length 'Karanottama of Achyuta (died 1621) of Kerala; adopts several verses with or without alteration Critical editions A printed edition with commentary of Parameshvara was published as part of the Ānandāśrama Sanskrit Series from Pune in 1944. An English translation by N.K. Majumdar was published from Calcutta in 1951. Kripa Shankar Shukla's critical edition of the text with an English translation and notes was published as a supplement to the Volume 25 of the Indian Journal of History of Science (1990) by the Indian National Science Academy, New Delhi. It was based on 11 manuscripts, available at Government Oriental Library (Mysore; now Oriental Research Institute), Government Oriental Manuscripts Library (Madras), and Sampurnananda Sanskrit University Library (Varanasi).

Fabienne Kabou
Fabienne Kabou (born 14 June 1977) is a Senegalese–French woman who was convicted of murder for the death of her 15-month-old daughter, Adélaïde, on 19 November 2013. She gave birth to the child in secret and raised her alone in Paris. She traveled to Berck-sur-Mer with the intention of drowning her and left her on the shore, where she was found dead the next day. Kabou was quickly apprehended and sentenced to 20 years in prison after a trial in June 2016. The trial inspired the film Saint Omer (2022). Events Fabienne Kabou was born into a wealthy Catholic family in Dakar on 14 June 1977. Her father worked as a translator for the United Nations, her mother as a secretary. Kabou was a good student and apparently scored 130 on IQ tests. In 1995, she moved to France to study architecture and then philosophy, and was writing a thesis on Wittgenstein. She met a sculptor 30 years her senior named Michel Lafon with whom she became romantically involved, and she terminated two pregnancies while they were together. When she became pregnant a third time, she hid the fact from Lafon before giving birth to the child alone in their shared apartment in August 2012; the birth of the child, named Adélaïde ("Ada"), was not legally registered and unknown outside of the household, even to Kabou's mother. Kabou retreated from her academic and social life to raise Adélaïde; Lafon was apparently not interested in the child. Experiencing hallucinations and other conditions, Kabou spent €40,000 euros seeking help from "witchdoctors and healers" before the murder. On 19 November 2013, Kabou took Adélaïde by train to the coastal town of Berck-sur-Mer, where she checked into a hotel room. She had told Lafon that she was bringing the child to Senegal to live with her mother. After dusk she walked on the beach with Adélaïde in a stroller and breastfed her, and later claimed to feel an unexplainable urge to abandon the child. She recalled, "I put an end to her life because it was easier that way. It was as if I felt carried along, I just couldn't say stop". She laid her almost asleep daughter down in the tide, hugged her for some minutes while asking for forgiveness, and then ran from the scene. Fishermen discovered the child's drowned body on the shore the next morning. Kabou returned to Paris that day. The authorities arrested Kabou in Paris a few days after the incident; closed-circuit television had captured her trip. Kabou readily admitted to the plan of drowning Adélaïde. Trial and aftermath A trial for premeditated murder began in Saint-Omer on 20 June 2016 with a possibility of life imprisonment. Psychiatrists determined that Kabou was fit to stand trial despite suffering from "paranoid delirium". Kabou claimed that "evil forces" and "witchcraft" had inspired her to commit the act. A psychologist said that Senegalese traditions of witchcraft had "radically altered her view of the world", though the prosecution said that explanation was just a strategy for legal defense. Another psychologist suggested that postpartum depression was affecting her mental state. On 24 June 2016, Kabou was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Documentary filmmaker Alice Diop, who attended the trial, was inspired to write and direct a feature film based on the case. The film, named Saint Omer, premiered in 2022 at the Venice International Film Festival to positive reviews. Guslagie Malanda, who played the role based on Kabou, found being in character so taxing that she had nightmares for a year, while Diop fainted on set when the shooting wrapped.

Tempi train crash
A train crash occured on 28 February 2023 south of the Tempi Valley near the village of Evangelismos in Thessaly, Greece, when a delayed InterCity train travelling from Athens to Thessaloniki collided head-on with an intermodal train going the opposite way. With 44 dead, 85 injured and around 50 to 60 unaccounted for, it is the worst railway disaster in the history of railways in Greece. Background The passenger train, InterCity 62, the 19:22 Athens to Thessaloniki passenger train, departed from Athens at around 7:30 p.m. EET (5:30 p.m. UTC), a few minutes behind schedule, carrying approximately 350 passengers. This train was operated by Hellenic Train, a subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane, and was made up of a rake of Hellenic Train UIC Z1 coaches made by Siemens at SGP Graz and Bombardier at Dunakeszi Carriage Workshops based on the Viaggio Classic platform (themselves based on the ÖBB Modularwagen), towed by HellasSprinter locomotive 120 022. At the time of the accident, the train was well behind schedule, meant to arrive at 11:35 p.m. EET at Thessaloniki station. Meanwhile, a freight train with several flatcars loaded with containers and plate steel was travelling from Thessaloniki to Larissa, pulled by another HellasSprinter locomotive, 120 012 Earlier the same day, at Palaiofarsalos railway station, an explosion in the electricity network caused the overhead line to fall on another intercity train, which led to several delays on the line. The crash site was just next to an overpass of the A1 motorway, on a stretch of line that opened in 2003 as part of a line rebuilding program that targeted the Larissa to Thessaloniki segment of the mainline. There is a single block section starting from the exit signal at Larissa until the entry signal at Neoi Poroi. This is due to delays on ETCS implementation, meant to finish in 2020, that will ultimately be implemented in late 2023. This limits the line throughput to 7 trains per hour each way. Collision The two trains collided on the Athens-Thessaloniki mainline, which is operated by OSE, the Greek national railway company. The accident section, north of Larissa, was double-tracked and had automatic controls installed, but switching and signalling were still being controlled manually. The passenger train and the freight train collided head-on near Evangelismos just before midnight, In an interview with ERT, the governor of the Thessaly region, Kostas Agorastos, said the first four carriages of the passenger train were derailed, and the first two carriages caught fire and were "almost completely destroyed". Due to the darkness at the time of the accident and the lack of time for the train drivers to react to the accident, it was estimated that the passenger train was travelling at speeds between and . Passengers reportedly escaped out of windows that were either broken in the crash or after they broke them to escape. Many panicked due to the chaotic scene of the crash, with some in carriages that were tilted at least 45 degrees. Many train cars caught fire following the collision. Seventeen vehicles and 150 firefighters attempted to subdue the flames, while rescue efforts were made with 40 ambulances and more than 30 police officers at the collision site. The crash was so severe that crane trucks were used to help with vehicle extrication. The Hellenic Army was contacted to assist. Some 250 surviving passengers, including those with minor injuries, were evacuated from the collision site by buses to Thessaloniki. Victims 44 people were killed, with 85 injured. 25 people were seriously injured. 66 of the injured were hospitalized, and six were admitted to intensive care units. Identification of some of the victims proved difficult as temperatures inside the first carriage reached . Aftermath An emergency meeting was organized within Greece's government following the crash, and health minister Thanos Plevris went to visit the scene. President Katerina Sakellaropoulou cut short her visit to Moldova to visit the site, stating the need to "offer support" to the victims. Transport Minister Kostas Achilleas Karamanlis resigned following the train crash. Investigation Police questioned two rail officials after the crash. Police arrested a stationmaster and charged him with causing death and harm through negligence. The Larissa station master claimed the switch from the up line (northbound) to the down line (southbound) was not working and that the train was meant to stay on the up line to avoid the freight train. He also claimed he let the train through a red signal. Signalling issues are not uncommon in Greece. Reactions In response to the crash, the Greek government declared a three-day period of mourning, with all flags flown at half staff and celebratory events postponed. The STASY metro workers' union suspended a planned strike action on the Athens Metro out of respect for the victims of the accident. The president of the Greek train drivers' union said that the accident "would have been avoided if the safety systems were working". Flags outside the European Commission building in Brussels were lowered at half-mast the morning after the accident. French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna expressed her condolences to the victims' families on Twitter, as did European Commission President Ursula von Der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel. French President Emmanuel Macron wrote on Twitter: "France stands alongside the Greeks". State media of the People's Republic of China reported that President Xi Jinping sent a letter of condolence to Sakellaropoulou. The Turkish Foreign Ministry released a statement of condolence following the incident, wishing a speedy recovery to the injured of the incident.

Charles L. Drummond
Charles Lyle Drummond (November 12, 1864 – December 4, 1900) was an American labor unionist and politician. Born in Rockville, Indiana, Drummond moved with his parents to Huntington, Indiana, when he was an infant. In 1885, he moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, to work as a typographer for the Fort Wayne Gazette. However, on arriving, he learned that a strike was underway, and the local union, an affiliate of the International Typographical Union (ITU) offered to pay his fare to return to Huntington. Instead, Drummond opted to join the union and go on strike himself. Drummond later became city editor of the Fort Wayne Sentinel, and also writing on sports under the pen name "Sandy". In addition, he worked as a correspondent for several newspapers in larger cities. In the 1890s, he contributed to the Monday Morning Times, which supported the free silver movement. Drummond served stints as financial secretary and as president of the ITU local 78. He was a founding delegate of the Fort Wayne Trades and Labor Council in 1889, and was its president in 1893. That year, he was a delegate to the ITU's annual convention. There, he decided to organize the delegates from the small locals, using their combined voting strength to place them on various committees. In return, he was elected as a delegate to the American Federation of Labor (AFL) convention. At that meeting, he was elected as a vice-president of the AFL. During his time in the post, several Chicago newspapers published a fictitious account of a speech in which they claimed he had denounced the Pullman Strike. This damaged his reputation, although he received letters of support from many other unionists, including Eugene V. Debs. Drummond was active in the Democratic Party, and in 1900 was elected to represent Allen County, Indiana, in the Indiana House of Representatives. However, he died of typhoid before he could take his seat.

Detroit Football Company
The Detroit Football Company was an American syndicate which owned the Detroit Lions of the National Football League from 1948 to 1963. On January 15, 1948, the NFL owners unanimously approved the sale of the Lions from Fred J. Mandel to a seven-person syndicate. The original members were D. Lyle Fife, owner of an electrical supply company Edwin J. Anderson, president of the Goebel Brewing Company William D. Downey, president of the Kinsel Drug Co. Charles T. Fisher Jr., bank president Walter Briggs Jr., son of Detroit Tigers owner Walter Briggs Sr. Arthur Hoffman, pharmaceutical executive Harry Wismer, sports announcer Attorney Philip Hart helped negotiate the sale and was given the title of assistant secretary-treasurer, but held no stock. Fife became team president and pledged that the syndicate would invest around $300,000 in the team, which had been in debt under Mandel's ownership. He also stated that the group planned to add more members and hoped to operate like the Green Bay Packers, Inc. C. Ray Davisson, George Cavanaugh, and William Clay Ford Sr. were among the stockholders who later joined the company. During the 1949 season, Fife left his wife of 33 years for his secretary. The resulting scandal saw Fife resign and Anderson take over as president. Over the next seven seasons, the Lions won three NFL championships and four division titles. In 1961, a group of stockholders led by Fife attempted to remove Anderson as team president. Anderson resigned and one of his supporters, William Clay Ford Sr., was chosen to succeed him. Anderson was allowed to stay on as general manager. On November 22, 1963, 135 of the team's 144 stockholders voted to sell the team to Ford for $6 million. The deal was closed on January 10, 1964, and the Detroit Football Company was dissolved.

Battle of Amritsar (1767)
The Battle of Amritsar took place on 17 January 1767 between the Durranis and the Sikh Misls during Ahmad Shah Abdali's eighth campaign into India. Durrani commander Jahan Khan marched to the neighborhood of Chak where he was met by the Sikhs who became aware of Khan's movements. A battle ensued where the Afghans lost with 5000 to 6000 soldiers killed and wounded. Background Ahmad Shah Abdali marched his eighth campaign into India and reached Lahore on 22 December 1766. After Abdali marched to Sirhind from Lahore to go after the Sikhs, the Sikhs attacked and plundered his baggage near Lahore which caused Abdali to hurry back to protect the city. On 17 January 1767, Jahan Khan who had already faced many setbacks because of the Sikhs, marched towards Amritsar with 15,000 Afghans soldiers, where he was met by the Sikhs who were alerted of his movements. Battle took place where the Sikhs fell upon Jahan Khan and his forces. Battle When Jahan Khan and his soldiers came across the Sikhs, a battle took place for 3 hours which resulted in Jahan Khan’s retreat and 5000 to 6000 Afghan soldiers killed and wounded. Aftermath Upon hearing reports of Jahan Khan’s defeat by the Sikhs, Ahmed Shah Abdali left his baggage on the bank of the Beas at Jalalabad and rushed to assist Jahan Khan, but the Sikhs ended up carrying most of Ahmad Shah’s goods. The British suspected that Ahmad Shah Abdali’s aim for this latest campaign into India, was to assist Mir Qasim against the British. Lord Clive stated that if the Sikhs kept the ongoing of plunder of Abdali’s baggage and cutting of his supplies, then Abdali would be ruined and return back to his country.

Vera's Backyard Bar-B-Que
Vera's Backyard Bar-B-Que is a restaurant in Brownsville, Texas. In 2020 it was named an America's Classic by the James Beard Foundation. According to Texas Monthly the restaurant was as of 2022 the only commercial entity in Texas serving barbacoa made with the traditional pit-smoking method. History Alberto and Carmen Vera sold barbacoa from their home and opened the restaurant in 1955. Their son Armando Vera was born in 1960 and eventually took over. According to the James Beard Foundation, the methods they use date to the vaquero-cowboy culture of the area. Production is a once-a-week process that culminates on weekends. Vera gathers ingredients on Wednesdays, does prep work Thursdays, starts cooking Fridays, and serves Saturdays and Sundays. The restaurant uses whole cow heads (minus the brain since 2005 because of concerns over mad cow) which are washed and wrapped in foil unseasoned. A brick-lined pit is heated with mesquite coals and the foil packets are stacked in it, 40 to 90 at a time, then buried while they roast for eight hours. Because of health codes Vera's as of 2022 is unique in serving barbacoa made using this traditional method commercially because they are grandfathered in; all other legal commercial providers steam the meat rather than pit-smoking it. Menu The restaurant uses traditional methods to smoke barbacoa de cabeza, also called barbacoa de cabeza de res en pozo. The dish consists of a cow's head which is pit-smoked. Various parts such as the cheek, tongue, and eyes are sold separately as well as a pulled mixture of the remaining meats. The restaurant also offers other traditional offal dishes and brisket. Accompaniments consists of tortillas to make tacos and garnishes, and there are no side dishes. Local business is carryout; according to Cowboys and Indians only those from outside the area eat at the restaurant. Recognition In 2020 the restaurant was named an America's Classic by the James Beard Foundation. When the Beard Foundation called to inform Vera of the award, he hung up on them twice, thinking they were trying to scam him; he stopped answering the phone and the foundation had to call Brownsville mayor Trey Mendez to contact Vera and convince him the award was legitimate and very prestigious.

2023 Indonesian child abduction scare
In early 2023, rumours regarding child kidnappings across Indonesia triggered a series of mass hysteria and vigilante actions across the country. The rumours were mostly spread through WhatsApp, Facebook, and TikTok which, according to authorities, were mostly fake. The rumours resulted in injuries and fatalities in some places, with the most severe case in Wamena, leaving dozens dead shot by the police during the riot; and in Sorong, where a woman was burned alive. In other places such as North Musi Rawas Regency, five men were injured after being beaten by a mob who accused them of kidnapping; and in Surabaya, where a mentally ill person was also beaten to death. Background The rumours started in early January 2023 in various locations such as Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, and Papua. Most of these rumours appeared to be used against perceived outsider or migrant communities around them, while some blamed the mentally-ill. Officials argued this was due to low digital literacy within Indonesians, while experts added that this is due to low trust in the state instruments. The rumours multiplied fast through social media and caused mob rules and vigilante actions across the country. Most of the rumours were dismissed as fake and "scaremongering" by officials. Despite this, there are several viral kidnapping cases reported since December 2022 according to Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection. Timeline In Ambon, Maluku early January 2023, a rumour spread across communities that four elementary students were almost duped and kidnapped. This resulted in mayor of the city asked for investigation behind the rumour. However, until 11 January, there were no confirmation regarding the case. Later, head of police resort of the city, Meity Jacobus, clarified that the kidnapping never took place and the story was made up by the child. In late January 2023, a voice recording that said about an attempt of child kidnapping spread across WhatsApp in East Java. On 31 January, regional police of the province said that the rumour was fake and will investigate the source of said rumour. Screenshots of a conversation about a supposed child abduction with photo of the child's corpse were spread on WhatsApp through chain messages in Depok. The screenshots were later dismissed as hoax by the local Director of Cyber Crime. On 23 January, a woman in Tangerang Regency, Banten, escaped an attack after being falsely accused of kidnapping a child in a small neighbourhood. On 24 January, a woman in Sorong was accused of kidnapping a child. The police wanted to question her and escorted her to a police office, but were confronted by an angry mob who burned her to death during a riot. Rumours were spread through WhatsApp chain messages about a supposed child kidnapping case in Pontianak, coupled with a viral video of a supposedly kidnapped student from Jl. Ampera. This later was clarified to be false after authorities verified it to schools around the area. On 3 February 2023, in Surabaya, a man with mental illness who was giving out candy to children was accused of being a kidnapper by the children, and later beaten by angry mobs. A similar rumour was spread in Sampang, a school student claimed she was almost kidnapped in a video, but this was later disproven. On 7 February, five traders who were travelling from Jambi to Lubuklinggau stopped on North Musi Rawas Regency, where they were accused to have kidnapped a child by a woman who later reported them to her relatives and the head of her village. The head of the village made several announcements warning residents about the presence of a child kidnapper in the area through WhatsApp, which devolved into vigilante action against the traders. In early February, a man was arrested by police for sharing false rumours about a child abduction in Minahasa Regency using an old video of police chasing a motorcycle thief. Similar rumour was also dismissed by local police as "false" in Palu, Central Sulawesi. Several pamphlets were found scattered around Samarinda, East Kalimantan with messages warning about child kidnapping together with several photos of supposed-preparators. The information within the pamphlets were unverified and later removed by police on 2 February. Traders in a market in Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara complained about the widespread rumour of child kidnapping around the city to the regional police chief, which was assured by the police as "only rumours". The police also clarified in 1 February 2023, there was no report of child kidnapping case in the city since early 2022. On 23 February 2023, a rumour of child kidnapping in Wamena, Highland Papua, triggered a deadly riot resulting in 10 rioters dead, mostly killed by police; and two traders accused of kidnapping were also killed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pterostylis%20actites
Pterostylis actites
Pterostylis actites, commonly known as the coastal short-eared snail orchid, is a species of greenhood orchid endemic to south-western Australia. Description Pterostylis actites is a herbaceous terrestrial orchid with a loose basal rosette of 4-7 ovate leaves, green in colour, each measuring long and wide. When flowering, this species produces a single flower on a stalk measuring tall with 3-4 stem leaves. The flowers are a translucent white with green stripes and markings, long, and are notable for their extremely short and thick lateral sepals. Flowering occurs from July to September. Distribution and habitat Pterostylis actites is restricted to south-western Western Australia, occurring along the coast between Perth and Israelite Bay. It is common within this range, which includes a number of reserves and national parks. It can often be found within metres of the beach, growing on stabilised coastal dunes and in near-coastal heath and woodlands. Taxonomy and naming Diplodium actites was first formally described in 2019 by David L. Jones and Christopher J. French based on a type specimen collected in 2000 from Nornalup, Western Australia. The specific epithet was derived from the Greek word aktites, meaning 'shore dweller', as this species was noted for growing close to the sea. In 2020, Jones and French transferred the species to the genus Pterostylis as P. actites in a later edition of Australian Orchid Review. Texts published before 2019 often used a variation of the name Pterostylis sp. Coastal clubbed sepals to refer to this species, alluding to its coastal distribution and thick lateral sepals. Conservation status Pterostylis actites is listed as 'not threatened' by the Government of Western Australia Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.

The Eastern Illinois Panthers men's basketball statistical leaders are individual statistical leaders of the Eastern Illinois Panthers men's basketball program in various categories, including points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks. Within those areas, the lists identify single-game, single-season, and career leaders. The Panthers represent Eastern Illinois University in the NCAA's Ohio Valley Conference. Eastern Illinois began competing in intercollegiate basketball in 1908. However, the school's record book does not generally list records from before the 1950s, as records from before this period are often incomplete and inconsistent. Since scoring was much lower in this era, and teams played much fewer games during a typical season, it is likely that few or no players from this era would appear on these lists anyway. The NCAA did not officially record assists as a stat until the 1983–84 season, and blocks and steals until the 1985–86 season, but Eastern Illinois' record books includes players in these stats before these seasons.

Irreconcilables (Philippines)
Irreconcilables, in the context of the Philippines, were a group of former insurrectionists who, because of their unwillingness to swear allegiance to the government of the United States after their capture by U.S. forces during the Philippine-American War. were deported from the Philippinnes to the island of Guam by the U.S. Military Government of the Philippine. Deportation The deportation was effectuated by an order issued by Major General Arthur MacArthur Jr., the then U.S. Military Governor of the Philippines. The order read as follows: At the time this order was issued, the Philippine-American War was still underway. Prior to issuing this order, MacArthur has obtained authority to do so from the United States Secretary of War. Notable deportees Apolinario Mabini, Prime Minister of the First Philippine Republic Artemio Ricarte, Commanding General of the Philippine Revolutionary Army Pio del Pilar, [[Lieutenant General], Congressman from Negros Oriental Maximo Hizon. Congressman from Sorsogon Mariano Llanera, Lieutenant General Francisco de los Santos, General officer Detention and later release An initial group of more than thirty leaders of Philippine Revolution, including Pio del Pilar and Apolinario Mabini were transported to Guam abord the SS Rosecrans Gaum's governor, Seaton Schroeder was unprepared for their arrival, and they remained abard ship in Apra Harbor. A week later, on February 1, 1901 the USS Solace arriv4ed with eleven more deportees, who were transferred to join the others on the Rosecrans while a three acre site between Piti and Hagåtña, GuamAgaña was razed and construction of the Presidio (prison) de Asan began. On February 12, 43 prisoners and 15 servants disembarked at Piti and trekked for two miles to Asan, where they were initially housed under guard in tents. Construction of the prison ws completed on March 22. Prison facilities included exercise equipment, a small library, a dining room, and a kitchen separate from the prison barracks and run by servants. Each prisoner was assigned 28 square feet of floor space, an army cot, and shelf space for personal items. Most deportees agreed to take the U.S. oath of allegiance after some time in detention and were returned to the Philippines. Mabini and Ricarte were exceptions. Mabini refused to take the oath until February 1903, when he was formally notified that he could leave Guam to go anywhere other than the Philippines. Rather than accept this, he took the oath in order to be allowed to return. February 26, 1903. On the day he sailed, he issued this statement to the press: Mabini died on May 13,1903, less than three months safter his return from exile, at the age of 38. Ricarte never took the oath. He was deported to Hong Kong in February of 1903 and secretly returned to the Philippines in 1904. After being arrested and imprisoned, he was deported in 1910 to Hong Kong in 1910. He moved to Japan, living in Yokohama and returning to the Philippines in mid 1942, while he Philippines was under wartime Japanese rule.

The Flagmakers
The Flagmakers is a 2022 documentary film about the workers of employee-owned American flag manufacturer Eder Flag who manufacture American flags and flagpoles. The film focuses on the factory's diverse workforce, including locals, immigrants, and refugees. Directed and produced by veteran documentary makers Cynthia Wade and Sharon Liese, The Flagmakers was also produced by NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo. Synopsis The Flagmakers examines the workforce of the Eder Flag factory located in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, the largest manufacturer of American flags in the nation. Eder Flag's employees are largely refugees and immigrants from all around the world, including Asia, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Latin America. The film follows several different employees, examining the meaning behind the American flag through their individual stories. The main narrator, Radica, immigrated from Serbia when it was on the brink of war over 30 years ago. She learned English from watching episodes of Married With Children. The film contrasts the optimism of Ali, a war survivor from Baghdad, Iraq, with the after-effects of being attacked at a local store due to being an immigrant. The film explores the hardships felt by Eder Flag's employees, including production manager SugarRay, who reflects on recent tragedies including the murder of George Floyd and the shooting of Jacob Blake. He is quoted as saying: "Definitely love this country, you know what I mean? But it don’t always love you back." The film also explores the relationships between Barb, a midwesterner who is retiring from Eder due to health issues, and her "diverse immigrant co-workers". Co-director Cynthia Wade said that the Eder Flag factory was a "'visual tapestry' woven with the diversity of its employees and richness of the sewing process for flags". Filming began in 2019, before the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing the filmmakers to expand the narrative to include the impacts of the COVID-19 on the factory workers. Wade also said Eder Flag has seen an increase in flag orders since the film debuted. Release The Flagmakers had its world premiere at the 2022 Camden International Film Festival on September 16, 2022. The film was released on Disney+ on December 21, 2022. Reception Common Sense Media said: "In light of the flag's increasing use as a symbol of division, the film offers a heartening reminder of how people from different backgrounds can work together and find common ground." Tony Betti of LaughingPlace.com said the film offers an "oddly poetic look at one of the most successful manufacturers of American flags" in the United States. Accolades Stage adaptation Shortly after release, The Flagmakers was optioned to be adapted into a stage musical, with Saheem Ali attached as director.

Tampa Bay Magazine is a bi-monthly lifestyle print magazine published by Tampa Bay Publications, Inc. covering the Tampa Bay area. Tampa Bay Magazine is published six times a year, and it covers a range of topics including politics, business, philanthropy, food, fashion, health, beauty and lifestyle in the cities in and around the Tampa Bay area, including Tampa, Clearwater, and St. Petersburg. History Founded in 1986 by husband and wife publishing team Aaron R. Fodiman and Margart Wood Burnside, Tampa Bay Magazine was designed as a combination of New York Magazine and the Washingtonian magazine. Fodiman, who moved to the Tampa Bay area in the early 1990s having previously lived in Washington, D.C. and in New York City, noticed that the Tampa Bay area did not have any publications about the local lifestyle, restaurants, museums, exhibits and the arts. To fill the need, Fodiman started Tampa Bay Magazine from scratch; Burnside began working there shortly thereafter. They, with a small staff, continue to write, photograph, edit and publish Tampa Bay Magazine. Readership Fodiman and Burnside claim approximately 300,000 people read their magazine, but it is unclear if that figure is monthly or annually. Tampa Bay Magazine has a limited digital presence and does not make its content available on its website.

She formerly was the Associate Editor of Water Research, has been its Editor since 2022, and previously served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering since its founding in 2012 until becoming its Executive Editor in September 2022. Education Fatta-Kassinos received a Diploma in Chemical Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece, in 1993, and completed a M.Sc. in Environmental Management and Education in 1995 from European Association of Environmental Management and Education (EAEME). She then received her Ph.D. Chemical Engineering in 1999 from NTUA. Her dissertation was titled "Development of a methodology for the estimation of the pollution level of the groundwater aquifers in the vicinity of waste disposal sites." Following this, she served as a Postdoctoral researcher for three years at NTUA between 1999 and 2003. Career Fatta-Kassinos began her academic career in 2003 as a lecturer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Cyprus, was appointed as an assistant professor in 2007, and an associate professor in 2015. Previously, she had been also an Invited Faculty Member at the Cyprus International Institute for Environmental and Public Health in association with the Harvard School of Public Health from 2005 until 2009. As of 2020, she is a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Cyprus. Fatta-Kassinos was the founding Director of the Nireas, International Water Research Center at the University of Cyprus, the first Water Research Centre in Cyprus, for over a decade. She founded Gaia, Laboratory of Environmental and Engineered Water Processes and Systems, and has been serving as its Head since 2003. She is currently appointed a 2019–2024 term as the chair of the advisory board of the African Center of Excellence in Water and Environment Research (ACEWATER), based in Nigeria. Research Fatta-Kassinos has worked in the area of environmental science and authored numerous publications. Her research spans the fields of wastewater treatment and reuse, with a particular focus on the development, and use of techniques for identifying contaminants of emerging concern in wastewater, as well as antimicrobial resistance in the environment and wastewater technical systems. Among various honors, she is the recipient of the highest national research recognition award, the Nikos Symeonides National Research Award, and most recently was awarded the Noack Laboratorien Outstanding Science Career Award by the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC). She was the Proposer, and Chair of the European COST Action NEREUS ES1403, "New and emerging challenges and opportunities in wastewater reuse" from 2014 till 2018, and later, became the Project coordinator of "Antibiotics and mobile resistance elements in wastewater reuse applications: risks and innovative solutions" (ANSWER) Project. Wastewater management Fatta-Kassinos conducts research on wastewater issues with a scientific focus on the fate and risk of contaminants of emerging concern, such as pharmaceuticals, and development of new advanced treatment methods for their effective removal. Her early work presented the occurrence patterns, source, and fate of pharmaceuticals in water and wastewater, and investigated the effectiveness of numerous advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) technologies for the removal of residual pharmaceuticals in water bodies. Her further research extended the wastewater discipline, and discussed the unique nature, characteristics, transformations, and fate of pharmaceuticals. In particular, she has studied the chemical identification and quantification of pharmaceuticals, discussed the use of AOP processes for their removal, and analyzed the potential biological effects in aquatic matrices. Furthermore, her studies have elucidated the transformation pathways of pharmaceutical residues with regard to their presence both in wastewater-treatment plants and in water matrices. In one of her highly cited review works, she examined the formation, fate, and effects of transformation of pharmaceutical products during photolytic processes and AOP, and brought attention to the various factors that contribute to the lack of understanding of the scope of potential problems associated with the presence of residual pharmaceutical compounds. Antibiotic resistance and wastewater reuse Another important aspect of Fatta-Kassinos’ work is the investigation of antibiotic resistance, specifically the risks it poses and the most effective ways to combat it. In a 2015 joint study addressing the prevention of environmental contamination with antibiotic resistant bacteria and genes, she reported the existing knowledge gaps, and identified policy, and management options. Given the fact that conventional treatment facilities lack the design to tackle antibiotics, her research characterized the removal efficiency of antibiotics from wastewater with different treatment processes, such as advanced treatment technologies and disinfection. While indicating urban wastewater treatment plants (UWTPs) as one of the primary sources of antibiotics' release in the environment, she argued how the existence of antibiotics can lead to the selection of antibiotic resistance genes as well as antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB). In related research, she also determined that the removal efficiency of the wastewater treatment processes, e.g., biological and chemical processes is governed by the physiological properties of the antibiotics, and the operating conditions of the treatment processes. Much of her work has evaluated the fate of ARB and ARGs in UWTPs via different treatment processes, and focused on the significance of incorporating alternative techniques, like membrane processes and advanced oxidation processes (AOPs), before the final disposal in the environment in order to reduce the risks for human health and the environment. More recently, Fatta-Kassinos coordinated the ANSWER (ANtibioticS and mobile resistance elements in WastEwater Reuse applications: risks and innovative solutions) Project. In addition, her work, Wastewater Reuse and Current Challenges was also acknowledged in the European Commission's technical report on the development of a legislative instrument for water reuse in agricultural irrigation and aquifer recharge at EU level. Fatta-Kassinos has performed a set of bioassays to evaluate the biological potency of treated urban wastewater. She suggested the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) as a successful tool for the removal of organic and inorganic compounds from the urban water cycle. Having analyzed the issues associated with the discharge of treated wastewater in the environment for reuse, her work also assessed how the xenobiotic pollutants are taken up by the plants or accumulate in the soil. Afterwards, considering that reusable wastewater must be free of antibiotic compounds, she examined the application of a solar-based AOP for the antibiotic degradation, highlighted that first-order kinetics was followed, and confirmed that Ofloxacin and trimethoprim were entirely degraded. Among the other subjects she has addressed, includes the implications of reclaimed wastewater (RWW) use for irrigation, and development of analytical methods for tracking pharmaceutical residues in water bodies.

Geography Akarçay is located by the Euphrates, along a seasonal stream that dries up in the summer. The Birecik Dam and Karkamış Dam are both located nearby. The prevailing climate is a semiarid Mediterranean climate with dry summers and most rainfall happening in winter. Botanically, Akarçay is located in a transitional zone between the Irano-Turanian Region and the Mediterranean Region, with the Irano-Turanian flora predominating. The plant cover is characteristic of steppe regions; members of the Asteraceae family. Some plants documented in Akarçay's immediate surroundings include the flowering plants Ixiolirion tataricum, Eminium rauwolffii, Scutellaria orientalis, Moluccella laevis, Verbascum kotschyi, Heliotropium bovei, Anagallis arvensis, Rhagadiolus hamosus, Hedypnois cretica, Catananche lutea, Centaurea iberica, Sedum caespitosum, and Potentilla reptans, Ranunculus asiaticus, Ranunculus damascenus, Ranunculus ficaria, Adonis flammea, Papaver syriacum, Papaver argemone, Fumaria officinalis, Thlaspi perfoliatum, Isatis lusitanicus, Descurainia sophia, Minuartia decipiens, Dianthus strictus, Silene chaetodonta, Gypsophila ruscifola, Gypsophila antari, and Chenopodium album. Also in the category of flowering plants are several wild legumes such as Trigonella mesopotamica (related to fenugreek), lens orientalis (a type of lentil, and Astragalus russellii. There are also various grasses such as Melica persica, Cynodon dactylon, and Hordeum marinum''; Archaeology Akarçay Tepe Akarçay Tepe is a small, flattish, oval-shaped mound located west of the village. Along with nearby Mezraa Teleilat, it is one of the oldest known settlements in the Euphrates basin. It was first identified in 1989 by a team led by G. Algaze, who found Paleolithic flint tips and drill bits were found before any excavation took place. In 1998, a team led by Nur Balkan-Atlı surveyed the site; they then began excavation in 1999. In 2001, M. Özdoğan and N. Karul conducted further research at Akarçay Tepe and dated various artifacts found here to the Ubaid period, Late Chalcolithic, Iron Age, Neolithic, Pottery Neolithic, and Pre-Pottery Neolithic. The tepe consists of 7 layers, with the top being a "mixed" layer and the others being numbered Phase I through VI. The youngest and uppermost layer, Phase I, has been radiocarbon dated to 6225-6015 BCE, in the Copper Age. Below it is Phase II, which is dated to 6455-6200 BCE, spanning the end of the Pottery Neolithic up to the beginning of the Halaf period in the early Chalcolithic. Phase III is a "transitional" phase dated to 7185-6515 BCE. Below it is Phase IV, which is dated to 7595-7145 BCE, in the terminal Pottery Neolithic. Phase V is dated to 7940-7610 BCE, in the late Pottery Neolithic. Phase VI, the bottom layer, has not been radiocarbon dated but is estimated to belong to the middle Pre-Pottery Neolithic. Another site, known as Akarçaytepe 2, is located 250 m northeast of Akarçay Tepe, on both sides of the Su Dere. This is 300 m north of Akarçay village. It was first identified by G. Algaze's team in 1989, who identified finds from the Ubaid and Uruk periods of the Chalcolithic, along with the Middle Bronze Age. Akarçay Höyük Akarçay Höyük is a medium-sized mound, measuring 180x160 m, located 900 m south of Akarçay village. In Algaze's team's 1989 survey, pottery shards from the Early and Middle Bronze Age, Hellenistic period, Roman period, and Byzantine period were found here. Salvage excavations were conducted in 1998 under Y. Mergen and A. Deveci, and these excavations uncovered Early Bronze Age "metallic ceramics" samples, similar to ones found at Hayaz and Samsat. Then in 2001 a team led by M. Özdoğan and N. Karul uncovered Late Neolithic, Late Chalcolithic, and Byzantine-era artifacts. There is also a 13th-14th century CE cemetery at the site. Other sites Gre Virike: a small mound, measuring 60x70 m in diameter and 15 m in height, located near the village. First identified in 1989 by G. Algaze and then surveyed in 1998 by A.T. Ökse, who found artifacts dated to the Late Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age. Ökse then did a salvage excavation here in 1999 and concluded that the settlement at Gre Virike served as a cult center for surrounding villages during the Early Bronze Age. Özdoğan and Karul also did surface examinations here in 2001 and found various Early through Late Chalcolithic as well as Early and Middle Bronze Age. Gre Virike Yanı: first identified by G. Algaze in 1989; Özdoğan and Karul did a surface inspection in 2001 and they found items dated from the Iron Age. Karakız Höyük: surface examinations by Özdoğan and Karul at this small mound produced finds dated to the Ubaid phase of the Chalcolithic, Early and Middle Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Roman and Byzantine periods. Gre Gavuran: surface examinations by Özdoğan and Karul at this small mound produced finds dated to the Late Neolithic, Late Chalcolithic, Early and Middle Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Roman period. Kızmağarası Höyük: surface examinations by Özdoğan and Karul at this small mound produced finds dated to the Late Neolithic, Early-Middle Bronze Age, and Roman and Byzantine periods. Kırmızı Dere area: Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine finds in surface examinations by Özdoğan and Karul, with the Hellenistic finds predominating. Site located "opposite Şahinler Mahalle": surface examinations produced finds dated to the Paleolithic, Early-Middle Bronze Age, Roman, and Byzantine periods. Site located at the base of Habip Tepe: surface examinations by Özdoğan and Karul at this small mound produced finds dated to the Late Paleolithic, Iron Age, and Byzantint period.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asthma-copd%20overlap
Asthma-copd overlap
Asthma-COPD Overlap (ACO), also known as Asthma-COPD Overlap Syndrome (ACOS) is a chronic inflammatory, obstructive airway disease in which features of both asthma and COPD predominate. Asthma and COPD were once thought of as distinct entities, however in some, there are clinical features of both asthma and COPD with significant overlap in pathophysiology and symptom profile. It is unclear whether ACO is a separate disease entity or a clinical subtype of asthma and COPD. The pathogenesis of ACO is poorly understood, but it is thought to involve both type 2 inflammation (usually seen in asthma) as well as type 1 inflammation (seen in COPD). The incidence and prevalence of ACO are not well known. The risk factors for ACO are also incompletely understood, but tobacco smoke is known to be a major risk factor. Signs and Symptoms ACO presents with symptoms of both asthma and COPD. ACO presents in adulthood, usually after the age of 40 (after there has been significant tobacco smoke or other toxic fumes exposure), with symptoms of dyspnea (shortness of breath), exercise intolerance, mucous production, cough and episodes of symptomatic worsening known as exacerbations. Cause A history of significant and persistent noxious fumes exposure is required for the diagnosis of COPD, therefore is also required for the diagnosis of ACO. This can be due to tobacco smoking, indoor air pollution or outdoor air pollution. Pathophysiology ACOS presents with features of both asthma and COPD. Both asthma and COPD (as well as ACO) present with exacerbations, periods where symptoms deteriorate, with marked reductions in airflow. However, in asthma, the airflow limitation usually completely resolves after exacerbations, whereas in COPD it may not. ACO presents with a chronic airflow limitation or obstruction (due to inflammation), with characteristics of both asthma and COPD. Inflammation of the large and medium airways (classically seen with asthma) is seen in ACO. This consists of bronchoconstriction due to smooth muscle spasm as well as smooth muscle hyperresponsiveness (due to allergens or irritants) causing obstruction of airflow. Mucous production and inflammation in the airways can also cause airflow obstruction in asthma. Features of COPD (which includes the subtypes of chronic bronchitis and COPD) are also seen in ACO. These include the features of chronic bronchitis such as inflammation of the small airways and mucous production or hypersecretion. Peribronchial inflammation, which may lead to fibrosis (obliterative bronchiolitis). As well as features of emphysema including inflammation leading to alveolar destruction resulting in lung hyperinflation and air trapping. Diagnosis There are no widely accepted diagnostic criteria for ACO, however the diagnosis requires clinical features of both asthma and COPD. One diagnostic criteria, based on expert consensus, first described in 2016, requires the presence of 3 major and at least 1 minor criteria for the diagnosis of ACO. The major criteria are: a persistent airflow limitation (a ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second divided by forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) of less than 0.7 or below the lower limit of normal), a significant exposure history to tobacco smoke (defined as a greater than 10 pack year history)(or significant exposure to other indoor or outdoor air pollution) and a documented history of asthma or a significant improvement in FEV1 (of greater than 400mL) to an inhaled bronchodilator. The minor criteria include a history of atopy or allergic rhinitis, a more limited response to an inhaled bronchodilator (greater than 200 mL improvement in the FEV1 or a 12% improvement from baseline), and peripheral blood eosinophils greater than 300 cells/μL. Spirometry (documenting obstruction) is required for the diagnosis of ACO. In those with asthma, some features often seen in COPD that may aid in the diagnosis of ACO include emphysema seen on imaging or a decreased diffusion capacity (DLCO)(indicating significant lung tissue damage). In those with COPD, other features often seen in asthma that may aid in the diagnosis of ACO include an increase in the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO)(a marker that is specific to the degree of airway inflammation in those with asthma) or increased levels of IgE (either total IgE or specific to inhaled antigens). Treatment Treatment of ACO is based on expert opinion as there are no universally accepted clinical guidelines. Treatment is usually based on whether clinical features of asthma or COPD predominate. Inhaled corticosteroids are the primary treatment in those with ACOS. Inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) should be continued in those with asthma who develop decreased airway responsiveness to bronchodilators consistent with ACO. Therapy can be escalated to include a long acting beta-agonist (LABA) and inhaled steroid combination (ICS-LABA) or by adding on a long-acting anti-muscarinic inhaler (LAMA), known as triple therapy, in those with more severe or resistant disease. Monoclonal antibodies targeting type 2 inflammation (which is predominant in asthma) have been used to treat severe asthma, and may also be used in severe cases of ACO. These monoclonal antibodies include omalizumab (an Anti-IgE antibody), mepolizumab (an anti-IL-5 antibody) and benralizumab (an anti-IL-5 receptor α antibody). People with ACOS and eosinophilia have a better response to ICS; with fewer exacerbations and hospitalizations seen in ACOS treated with long term ICS. Systemic corticosteroids (intravenous or oral steroids) may be used during exacerbations of ACOS. Prognosis The progression of permanent airflow obstruction (as measured by the rate of FEV1 decline) is slower in ACO as compared to COPD, but ACO with late onset asthma is associated with a more rapid FEV1 decline (a more rapid progression of obstruction) and a worse prognosis. ACO with late onset asthma is associated with a higher mortality as compared to COPD, asthma or healthy controls. Excluding ACO with late onset asthma, ACO has better survival (lower mortality) than COPD, but higher mortality compared to asthma. In other studies, ACO was associated with worse dyspnea symptoms, more coughing, wheezing, sputum production as well as more frequent and more severe exacerbations as compared to COPD or asthma. Epidemiology Due to heterogeneity of diagnostic criteria and a paucity of clinical trials, the prevalence of ACO is not well known. Based on a meta analysis, the prevalence of ACO in the general population is estimated to be 2%, whereas the prevalence of ACO in those with asthma is 26.5% and in those with COPD it is 29.6%.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toolangi%20Forest%20Discovery%20Centre
Toolangi Forest Discovery Centre
The Toolangi Forest Discovery Centre (TFDC) is a forest education hub in Toolangi, Victoria, Australia. It was opened by the Victorian Minister for Natural Resources, Geoff Coleman, on 14 February 1994 but its origins can be traced back many decades earlier. History During the late 1960s the Forests Commission Victoria (FCV) started to deliver public information and schools’ education. Recreation on State forest received greater focus and a key moment for the commission, then under the new chairmanship of Dr Frank Moulds, was the creation of the Forest Environment and Recreation (FEAR) Branch in 1970. This was accompanied with the appointment of some specialist ranger and planning positions in the field. During the 1970s, local FCV district staff were encouraged to bring school groups into the bush and organise other ad hoc tours. Toolangi developed into an innovative forest education hub under the enthusiastic direction of Rod Incoll, the District Forester. By the early 1980s, Rod Incoll had convinced the Forests Commission that a modern office and depot complex was needed at Toolangi. The new building included, in-part, the FCV's first purpose-built community education centre. After the election of the Cain Labor Government in 1982, and the release of the ground breaking Timber Industry Strategy (TIS) later in 1986, the idea of a dedicated forest education centre began to take hold. In 1990, an education project to produce school curriculum materials was formalised. The group had strong representation from the Victorian Education Department and school teachers. The materials were deliberately designed to challenge students to think about the complexities, controversies and contradictions of forest and bushfire management, endangered species conservation, timber harvesting and timber sustainability, ecotourism and forest ecosystems. Meanwhile, several sites for a new education centre were considered including Barmah, Marysville, Macedon, Toolangi, the Dandenong Ranges and the Grampians. There were some concerns expressed about the TFDC location on the Healesville-Kinglake Road as being “off the beaten track”, and therefore generating limited passing traffic. However, the site had other big advantages of being within two hours of Melbourne schools and sited in an active “working forest” with a rich harvesting and sawmilling history. Toolangi also had proven credentials as being able to deliver education programs. The Building The Toolangi Forest Discovery Centre was designed by departmental architect Peter Pass to match its surroundings using many local timbers. It was deliberately nestled into the messmate bush near the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) offices and the cathedral-like building has a roof shape resembling overlapping gum leaves lying gently on the forest floor. The building was funded with a $1.5m grant from the Federal Government and another $200k being contributed from the State. The ongoing operating costs for teaching staff and building maintenance were to be met by DCNR. Forest Education Programs In the early years of the operations of the TFDC, qualified sessional teachers were recruited to run the education programs and it proved a huge success with between 10,000 and 12,000 students each year and many repeat visitors. A highlight in 1996 was the International Sculpture Festival and the establishment of a trail leading from the centre through the bush. But sudden departmental funding cuts at the end of 1998 caused the closure of the main TFDC building, although the education programs continued to operate from an adjacent tin shed (AKA the Discovery Tree) under a three-year contract with the Northern Melbourne Institute of TAFE. At the conclusion of the TAFE arrangement, the forest education programs came back under the department's umbrella using up to 10–12 sessional teachers. During this period, the main TDFC building was sometimes open on weekends and public holidays, depending on available funding. In 2003, the Natural Resources Conservation League (NRCL) closed its nursery in Springvale and needed a new home. It leased space at Toolangi, but in 2007 moved to the Waterwheel Centre in Warburton. Some forest education programs continued until June 2012, when the department announced that forest education was no longer “core business”. By the beginning of 2013 one of Australia's oldest registered environmental charities, the Gould League, had also been trained to run existing programs at the Discovery Tree, which continue to this day. Closure In about 2000 the proprietors of the Toolangi General Store approached the department to convert part of the main building into a coffee shop, the Crosscut Kiosk. The existing staff tearoom was extended and some of the displays were removed to make space for tables. However, the proposal did not ultimately succeed, and the Toolangi Tavern was built instead, next to the site of the general store. There had been grave fears for the wooden building during the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires when part of the adjoining departmental offices and State forest were destroyed. Between 2015 and 2018 there were several unsuccessful efforts by community groups to establish Committees of Management and revive the main TFDC as a tourist information centre, gallery and café. But critical maintenance of the iconic wooden building had been neglected, and the structure slowly deteriorated, while the costs of repair and restoration to modern building and fire protection standards began to climb into the millions. By August 2018 the Toolangi Forest Discovery Centre once again fell silent. The TFDC remains closed leaving a huge void in much needed, hands-on, balanced and factual education materials about forests and bushfires for students and the general public.

Plas Mawr, New Plymouth
Plas Mawr from New Plymouth, New Zealand, designed and built by the local architect and builder James Walter Chapman-Taylor in 1913 is an English Arts and Crafts style cottage. Plas Mawr, which translates to “big hall” in Welsh, is a Category 1 heritage building registered by Heritage New Zealand. History Plas Mawr was built for Charles Hayward Burgess, former mayor of New Plymouth from 1915 to 1919. The house was commissioned by his wife Anne and was completed in 1913. Because of the small, triangular section where the house was to be built, it was difficult to find an architect who would design it. Eventually, it was the architect James Walter Chapman-Taylor, born in London, but grown up in New Zealand, who designed and built it. He was inspired by the English Arts and Crafts movement's interpretation of rural English cottage construction and style, which was an attempt to revive traditional craft methods. After returning to New Zealand, Chapman-Taylor designed and built about 80 high-quality, hand-crafted homes, one the first ones being the two-storey cottage Plas Mawr in New Plymouth. The house was given the Welsh name “Plas Mawr”, translated variously as “great hall” or “large manor house” by Chapman-Taylor, and was designed to house two elderly people in comfort. Designing the house, Chapman-Taylor developed a “sun-trap” plan, which he used later for many other houses. After the completion of Plas Mawr, Chapman-Taylor commented that “although house building is generally a trade, it can and should be an art”. The house was owned by the Burgess family for almost 42 years. After that it has had a number of owners, the majority of them being retired couples. Description Built in the Arts and Crafts style, an expensive concept at the time, the two-storey house design required the inclusion of detailed quality, uncluttered woodworking and unique contemporary mechanisms. James Walter Chapman-Taylor, one of New Zealand's most important local architects of his time, was also a skilled craftsman, builder and furniture designer. He described the Plas Mawr as “a butterfly with two splayed wings”. The house has an open L shape, fitted neatly into a corner of the property, leaving the rest free for a garden. Built of brick covered with white, trowel-stroked plaster, the cottage has a roof of slate tiles. Inside, it features the hand-adzed jarrah wood and timber beams and hand-crafted built-in furniture typical of the Arts and Crafts style. The exposed timber beams of dark coloured jarrah contrast with the plastered white walls and the ceilings plastered as well between the beams. The house, well preserved today, over 100 years later, still features the hand-crafted, built-in timber shelves and seats characteristic of most of the Chapman-Taylor homes. The floor was made of concrete flagstones interleaved with small red tiles. The house has iron door hinges and window latches forged by hand.

Dokdo is Our Land
Dokdo is Our Land () is a 1982 pop song written by South Korean musician Park Moon-young and sung by comedian about the Liancourt Rocks dispute. The song has grown to become highly recognizable in South Korea as a point of anti-Japanese nationalism. History Dokdo is Our Land first debuted on the KBS comedy program Humor Number One and was written by production directors Kim Woong-rae and Park Moon-young. On the program, it was preformed by comedians Im Ha-ryong, , , and Jeong Kwang-tae and was intended to be a one time performance. Following the broadcast, Daesung Records offered to record the song, but scheduling conflicts led to Jeong being the only one available for the recording. The song was released as part of the compilation album "Funny Songs and Unfunny Songs" () on June 20, 1982. Jeong Kwang-tae would receive the New Artist Award at the 1983 KBS Music Awards for his performance. The song would later be briefly banned between July and November of 1983 by military dictator Chun Doo-hwan out of fear of worsening relations with Japan during Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone's visit to Korea amid the 1982 Japanese history textbook controversies. Re-release and remixes Since its release, Dokdo is Our Land has been remade and re-released several times by various artists. After the popularity of the song, the original album would be re-released in the next year under the name Dokdo is Our Land. The song was remade most recently in 2012 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the song's release. On June 5, 1985, Dokdo is Our Land would be released as part of Jeong Gwang-tae's second album Jeong Gwang-tae Golden (). In 1996, South Korean hip-hop group DJ DOC re-recorded the song and released it in their album "Long Live Korea" (). Lyrics The lyrics of the song reference various climatic and geographical details of Dokdo, as well as historical documents justifying South Korea's claim over the islands. Legacy The song has become highly recognizable among South Koreans as a point of national pride and anti-colonial sentiment, and is commonly used as a children's song. In 1989, Jeong Kwang-tae would be denied entry into Japan over the song. The South Korean national baseball team has been reported to do pregame workouts to the song along with other traditional Korean songs during the 2006 World Baseball Classic. The song is also commonly used in flash mobs within South Korea as a means of promoting South Korea's claim over the islands. The song's melody is commonly used by South Korean students as a study tool to help memorize information. In the 2019 film Parasite, an altered version of the song was sung by Choi Woo-shik and Park So-dam as a mnemonic device and would go viral as an internet meme known as the "Jessica Jingle." Neon, the film's production company, would release the jingle to fans as a ringtone. During the 2020 South Korean legislative elections, altered versions of the song were adopted as campaign songs by the United Future Party and by Song Young-gil of the Democratic Party.

Bannerless
Bannerless is a 2017 post apocalyptic novel by Carrie Vaughn. It takes place in the future, within the fictional society of the Coast Road, a network of agrarian communities that arises in California after natural disasters caused a societal collapse. Synopsis After climate change causes a series of natural catastrophes, the United States collapses in the Fall. A series of agrarian settlements in California form a new society called the Coast Road. The people of the Coast Road were able to maintain records of life before the Fall as well as basic medical and agricultural knowledge, but have lost most modern technologies. While socially progressive and egalitarian, the Coast Road implements a number of rules to prevent their society from being overtaxed.

Reception The novel received mostly positive reviews from critics. Clay Bonneyman Evans of Colorado Arts and Sciences described it as "a mélange of murder mystery, post-apocalyptic world-building and a serious argument in favor of sustainability and responsible social policy." Critics praised the novel's premise and worldbuilding for subverting post-apocalyptic tropes which typically feature more cynical characters and dystopian societies. Adrienne Martini of Locus and Liz Bourke of Tor.com praised the characterization of Enid, and the overall community of characters in the book. Martini and Bourke praised the use of flash backs to explore Enid's backstory, while Publishers Weekly felt that "the numerous flashbacks rob the story of its urgency, making this less powerful than it could have been." The book won the 2018 Philip K. Dick Award. References 2017 science fiction novels Post-apocalyptic novels Novels set in California Mariner Books books Houghton Mifflin books Philip K.

Elia Enid Cadilla
Elia Enid Cadilla Sulsona (born July 11, 1944, in San Juan, Puerto Rico) is a Puerto Rican actress, producer and television show host. Early life Cadilla's parents were both involved in show business: her mother was the poet Elia Sulsona, and her father was the Orquesta Sinfonica de Puerto Rico musician José Armindo Cadilla. As a little girl, Cadilla visited the radio station, WKBM, often to accompany her mom, who worked there. During one of those visits, Cadilla, aged four, had a chance to substitute an actress who had not shown up to work that day. After being read, by her mom, what the other actress had to say on the air, Cadilla memorized the lines and repeated them live, effectively beginning, without knowing it yet, her professional acting career. Cadilla began taking ballet lessons; this allowed the buddying young entertainer to work in theater and in commercials, at an age in which she saw her new car4eer as a side-hobby.
