HMS Podargus (1808)
|
HMS Podargus was a Crocus-class brig-sloop of the Royal Navy. She participated in one major battle during the Gunboat War between Britain and Denmark. After the war she served at Saint Helena for five or six years. On her return to Britain in 1820 she was laid up; she was finally sold in 1833.
Career
Commander William Hellard commissioned Podargus in September 1808 for the Downs. On 15 August 1809, Podarguss master and a master's mate arrived at the French prisoner-of-war prison at Verdun. The master's mate escaped in 1813, but it is not clear how the men came to be captured.
On 19 August 1809 Podargus captured the Fortuna. Three days later she recaptured the Margaretha. was in sight for the recapture of the Margretha. Podargus also carried Major General Broderick and his suite to Corunna.
Commander John Lloyd recommissioned Podargus in November 1810. On 2 December Podargus was on station off Boulogne when her crew retrieved an abandoned, swamped Dutch boat. The boat had to be over-turned to bring her on board Podargus, but even so, money was found aboard her, amounting to 13 gold guineas, four half-guineas, and some silver French coins. Then in October 1811 Commander John Bradley replaced Lloyd.
Commander William Robilliard commissioned Podargus in November 1811 for the Baltic. On 4 October 1812 Podargus captured the Danish sloop Speculation and shared the prize money with , , and by agreement. Then on 17 October Persian and Erebus were again in company with Podargus when Podargus captured the Danish vessels Anna Maria, Twende Brodre, and two market-boats. Next month, on 11 November Podargus captured Syerstadt, with Persian and Erebus in company.
Napoleonic Wars
In 1812, during the Gunboat War, the British saw an opportunity to enforce the blockade and break the back of Dano-Norwegian seapower. They therefore sent a small squadron consisting of the 64-gun Third Rate ship-of-the-line (Captain James Patteson Stewart), and three brigs, the 18-gun Cruizer class brig-sloop (Commander Weir), Podargus, and the 14-gun gun-brig (Lieutenant Thomas England), to seek out the Danes. On 6 July 1812, the squadron was off the island of Merdø on the coast of Norway, when the squadron sighted and chased a Danish squadron.
Robilliard and Podargus led the British attack because she had a man onboard who had sailed in those waters some time ago; nevertheless, she grounded. During the subsequent Battle of Lyngør Flamer stayed with her to protect her. However, Dictator and Calypso succeeded in destroying the new, 40-gun frigate and badly damaging the 18-gun brigs Laaland, Samsøe, and Kiel, as well as a number of gunboats. The British captured and tried to take out Laaland and Kiel but abandoned them when they grounded. The British did not set fire to either as the Norwegian vessels still had their crews and wounded aboard.
The action cost Dictator five killed and 24 wounded, Calypso three killed, one wounded and two missing, Podargus nine wounded, and Flamer one killed and one wounded. Najaden lost 133 dead and 82 wounded and the Danes acknowledged losing some 300 men killed and wounded overall.
Commander Weir received immediate promotion to post-captain; Robilliard received his promotion on 14 December; Dictators first lieutenant, William Buchanan, received promotion to commander. In 1847 the surviving British participants were authorized to apply for the clasp "Off Mardoe 6 July 1812" to the Naval General Service Medal.
Several days later the British sent the cutter to reconnoiter the situation. Nimble reported seeing four vessels at Christiansand, two of 18 guns and two of 16 guns. Nimble also saw numerous gunboats about. The Battle of Lyngør effectively ended the Gunboat War.
Commander George Rennie replaced Robilliard in January 1813. Podargus then served under Viscount Keith in the Channel and in the Royal Navy's Bordeaux operations.
On 21 March 1814, Rear-admiral Penrose, in the 74-gun , anchored in the Gironde with a squadron that included Podargus. On 2 April the boats of captured one gun-brig, six gun-boats, one armed schooner, three chasse-marées, and an imperial barge. They burned one gun-brig, two gun-boats, and one chasse-marée. The squadron shared the subsequent prize money. Two days later, the 74-gun joined Egmont to prepare for to attack the French 74-gun Régulus, three brig-corvettes, other vessels lying near her, and the batteries that protected them. Before the British could launch their attack, the French burnt Régulus and the other vessels.
Between June and August 1814, Podargus was under the temporary command of Commander Houston Stewart. Commander James Wallis then recommissioned her.
On 9 July 1815, Podargus captured the French vessel Deux Amis.
Post-war
Wallis sailed Podargus to St. Helena. Napoleon Bonaparte, though denying any involvement in Captain Wright's death, apparently was quite angry at Wallis being appointed to St Helena, viewing the appointment as a deliberate British provocation.
In April 1817, the transport brig , belonging to the Cape Town Dockyard, was the first European vessel to enter the Knysna. She struck a rock, now known as Emu Rock, and was holed. Her crew ran Emu ashore to prevent her sinking. In late April Podargus arrived to render assistance. After surveying the area, Wallis sailed Podargus into the Knysna and retrieved Emus cargo.
Commander Henry John Rous recommissioned Podargus at St Helena in November 1817.
In January 1819, while Podargus was still at St Helena, the London Gazette reported that Parliament had voted a grant to all those who had served under the command of Admiral Viscount Keith in 1812, between 1812 and 1814, and in the Gironde. Podargus was listed among the vessels that had served under Keith in 1813 and 1814. She had also served under Kieth in the Gironde.
Lieutenant James Webb Cairnes was appointed to replace Rous in 1818, however, he did not take command until 1819. Cairnes had been first lieutenant of . Rous was still in command of Podargus when he wrote a letter on 29 March 1819 to Admiral Robert Plampin, extolling the virtues of Hout Bay, 14 miles from Cape Town, as the site of a dockyard.
Fate
By 1820 Podargus was back in Britain and laid up in ordinary at Portsmouth. The Admiralty offered her for sale on 7 August 1833, still at Portsmouth. She was sold on that day to Mr. John Small Sedger, Rotherhithe, for £510 for breaking up.

Standish Lawder
|
(1936 – 21 June 2014) was an American artist, art historian and inventor, who contributed to the structural film movement in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Biography
Born in Connecticut in 1936, Lawder attended Williams College and the National Autonomous University of Mexico as an undergraduate, and studied at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. While at the University of Munich, he became a test subject for a neurologist researching phosphenes at around 1960. During these experiments, he was injected with measured amounts of LSD, mescaline and psilocybin, and "spent a whole day in the clinic". In this, he became an early subject of psychedelics. Afterwards, he received his doctor of philosophy as an art historian at Yale University. His thesis, which was later published as The Cubist Cinema, examines the correlation between the history of film and its impact on modern art, described as a holistic overview by Anthony Reveaux in Film Quarterly.
His body of work is purported to span over 25 films and his literary works encapsulates several essays on experimental film. His first endeavors with experimental films started in his basement during a sabbatical of his in the late 1960s and early 1970s. One of his works during this span, Necrology, has been cited by fellow filmmaker Hollis Frampton as "the sickest joke I've ever seen on film".
For several decades Standish ran a Community Non-Profit Darkroom called the Denver Darkroom. It began as Standish's dream workspace which he cordially extended to visiting Filmmakers, Artists, Journalists and Friends. It was an artistic hotspot housing a large commercial-size black and white darkroom, studios, a library, a kitchen, a dining room/ gallery and sleeping lofts/ prop storage. The demand for the community darkroom was huge and it became a non-profit in 1998, accepting paid memberships to cover operating costs. Beginning in 2000 classes in Photography were offered by Artists and faculty of Metropolitan State College of Denver (now MSU) at the Denver Darkroom.
Lawder's wife, Ursula, was the daughter of Richard Strauss-Ruppel and Frieda Ruppel, who later married Dadaist artist Hans Richter. Lawder died in 2014.
Inventions
For the production of his first two films, Runaway and Corridor, Lawder built his own contact printer using an incandescent light bulb housed within a coffee can. With it, he would expose his films by manipulating the brightness of the light bulb, then shined the beam it created through the flashlight tube to the film gate of his camera.
Preservation
The Academy Film Archive has preserved several of Standish Lawder's films, including "Necrology," "Catfilm For Katy and Cynnie," and "Raindance."

Mariano Bolizza
|
Mariano Bolizza or Marin Bolica (1603 – 27 November 1643) was a nobleman and writer from Cattaro.
Biography
Bolizza was born in Kotor, at the time part of the Republic of Venice (now Montenegro). He studied at the University of Padua and, having embraced a priestly life, moved to Venice where he became a secretary of nuncio Giovanni Battista Agucchi. Bolizza wrote Agucchi's funeral oration with a dedication to his mentor Claude de Mesmes, comte d'Avaux, the French ambassador to the Republic of Venice. A member of the Bolizza family, his ancestor and family progenitor was Zuane Bolizza, mentioned in 1538. The Bolizza were central in ensuring the safe transport of correspondence between Venice and the Ottoman Empire. They had received an exclusive contract after the Battle of Lepanto (1571). Family heads were often appointed vice-proveditors of Cattaro. His brother was Francesco Bolizza.
Work
A public servant of Venice, he was assigned to provide information on the Sanjak of Scutari, a paper known in Italian as Relazione e descrizione del sangiacato di Scutari. He delivered his documents at Venice on May 25, 1614. The Sanjak of Scutari included the vilayet of Montenegro, which paid an annual tribute. The work contains the earliest description of the people and geography of the modern era Montenegro.
Legacy
The Croatian Encyclopedia describes him as a 'Croatian writer' and notes his works in Latin and Italian.

Elmwood, West Hartford
|
Elmwood is a neighborhood in West Hartford, Connecticut that encompasses the area south of Interstate 84 and east of South Main Street, extending to the borders of neighboring Newington and Hartford. It is primarily a middle-class and working-class enclave of 10,800 residents composed mostly of postwar single-family homes and duplexes.
History
As with the rest of West Hartford, Elmwood was mostly rural and sparsely populated, consisting of farmland and agriculture, until suburban residential development unfolded throughout the 20th century. Once home to a substantial Irish and Italian American community, Elmwood today is West Hartford's most racially diverse section of town.
Education
Public schools

Sword of Desperation
|
is a 2010 Japanese jidaigeki drama film directed by Hideyuki Hirayama. It was released in Japan on July 10, 2010.
It was written by Hidehiro Itō and Itaru Era, based on a novel by Shūhei Fujisawa, and was produced by Hidehiro Itō.
Plot
Ukyo-dayu, a powerful Edo-era daimyō, and his court attend a kabuki play in the courtyard of his palace. After the performance ends, members of the court bow in respect as Lord Ukyo and his family, including his favorite concubine Lady Renko, are leaving. Suddenly, a samurai named Sanzaemon Kanemi unsheathes his tantō and stabs Lady Renko to death. He surrenders his weapon and is taken into custody. Despite expecting to be put to death for murdering his lord's consort, Kanemi is surprised to learn that Lord Ukyo has instead sentenced him to spend a year under house arrest.
Kanemi's estate is barricaded and placed under watch by armed guards, while Kanemi himself is sealed in a makeshift cell inside a woodshed. His servants are dismissed, and only his young niece, Rio, is left to feed and care for him since his wife died years earlier from sickness. As the months pass by, Kanemi reflects on his crime and the circumstances surrounding it. Flashbacks reveal how Lady Renko had upset senior officials of the court, including Lord Ukyo's chief advisor Minbu Tsuda, by interfering with efforts to reduce unnecessary expenses such as lavish clothes for her and her ladies-in-waiting, insisting that taxes on the clan's farmers be raised even in the midst of a devastating famine, and diverting large sums of money towards the renovation of a decrepit temple controlled by her family.
Hayatonosho Obiya, a senior military commander, is horrified to discover that Lady Renko arranged for the execution of several peasants and the public display of their heads for daring to present Lord Ukyo with a petition to stop collecting taxes. He argues with his lord to get rid of Lady Renko, only to be sent away. Eventually, Tsuda realizes that something must be done and asks Kanemi to assassinate Lady Renko. He then personally convinces Lord Ukyo to spare Kanemi's life and is rewarded for his handling of the situation with a promotion in court rank.
After a year passes, Kanemi is freed from imprisonment and learns that he has been appointed to serve as Lord Ukyo's bodyguard by Tsuda. Ukyo is not pleased with this decision but refuses Kanemi's request to be dismissed from his new office. Tsuda secretly confides in Kanemi that his service as a bodyguard is in fact part of a larger strategy to deal with Obiya, who has become disillusioned with Lord Ukyo's rule and plans to remove him from power and replace him with his own handpicked daimyo. Kanemi was chosen based on Tsuda's awareness of the "Sword of Desperation", a technique Kanemi himself created in which a samurai can land an unblockable blow on an opponent. However, Kanemi explains that for the technique to work, the user must first be "half-dead", which Tsuda does not understand.
Kanemi tries to introduce Rio to a potential suitor, telling her that she will never be happy unless she marries and leaves him. However, Rio confesses that, while caring for her uncle, she developed romantic feelings for him and begs to be allowed to stay. One night, after failing to fall asleep, Kanemi visits Rio and has sex with her. The next day, he orders her to travel to a remote village and wait for him, swearing that once all of his obligations to the court are complete, he will come and find her.
Obiya arrives at Lord Ukyo's palace and forces his way past the guards, threatening him with violence if he fails to step down. Kanemi confronts him and the two men duel; Kanemi manages to lodge Obiya's sword into the wall and then fatally stab him. Suddenly, Tsuda and dozens of samurai emerge from hiding and surround him. Tsuda declares that Kanemi is a murderer and condemns him to death. Another flashback reveals that Tsuda made a promise to Lord Ukyo that once Kanemi had dealt with Obiya, he would see to it that he was executed for Lady Renko's murder.
Unwilling to hurt his fellow samurai, Kanemi is severely wounded before managing to kill a handful of his attackers and crawl on his hands and knees up to Tsuda. A blade is thrust into his shoulder, causing him to seemingly fall over and die from blood loss. As Tsuda calmly approaches his body, Kanemi springs to life and performs the "Sword of Desperation", killing Tsuda. Lord Ukyo panics and hides as his samurai repeatedly stab Kanemi while he quietly kneels and dies, a look of peace on his face. The film ends with Rio, now holding Kanemi's infant son in her arms, as she awaits his return.

Wang Xuwen (), who goes by the pseudonym Infi, is a Chinese professional esports player of the real-time strategy games Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne and Starcraft II. He previously served in team World Elite, Tyloo and VICI GAMING. He is considered one of the best Human players in the world.

Wang "Infi" Xuwen and the other three were considered the four kings in Chinese Warcraft III. He played Starcraft II for a few years before retiring from competitive gaming.
Playing style
Wang "Infi" Xuwen has been nicknamed "Tower Race" or "the Six Race" as he was known for building many towers as a defensive and sometimes offensive strategy. In extreme cases, his towers could control sizable areas of the map. He often builds a large number of towers for detection as well, and then uses invisible Summoned creatures to raid his opponent. He employed this strategy and beat Fly100% in the grand final of World Cyber Games 2009.

He is the first non-Korean champion in this tournament and also the first non-Korean champion in a tournament which was held in Korea. In 2008, he was the champion of KODE5 in Moscow and World e-Sports Games. Infi saw success in the World Cyber Games, whose tournaments are considered some of the most important for Warcraft III players. After beating Weiliang "Fly100%" Lu, Dmitry "Happy" Kostin and Jang "Moon" Jae Ho, he won the championship for World Cyber Games 2009. In 2010, he was the runner-up of Battle.Net Season VIII. At the end of 2010, Infi left World Elite and joined team PanDa, which shortly afterwards merged with team Tyloo. He played for ViCi Gaming as a Starcraft II player for a few years before switching back to Warcraft III again.

Eastern Orthodoxy in Guatemala
|
Eastern Orthodoxy in Guatemala refers to adherents, communities and organizations of Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Guatemala. Many of the Eastern Orthodox Christians in Guatemala are ethnic Mayas. Although the dominant religion in Guatemala is historically Roman Catholicism, in recent decades other Christian denominations have gained adherents there. Eastern Orthodox Christianity in particular has been growing rapidly, as a number of schismatic Catholic groups have expressed their desire to become Eastern Orthodox and have been received under the jurisdiction of Eastern Orthodox hierarchs. Currently, there are two distinct Eastern Orthodox communities in Guatemala, the Antiochian and the Constantinopolitan.
Antiochian
Eastern Orthodox Christianity arrived in Guatemala at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century with immigrants from Eastern Europe and the Middle East. In the 1980s two Catholic women, Mother Inés and Mother María, converted to Eastern Orthodox Christianity and established a monastery dedicated to the Holy Trinity. In 1992 they were received into the Antiochian Patriarchate and in 1995 the Catholic Apostolic Orthodox Antiochian Church in Guatemala was formally established. The state orphanage of Hogar Rafael Ayau, established in 1857, was privatized and transferred to their care in 1996.
The Antiochian Eastern Orthodox Church in Guatemala is part of the Antiochian Patriarchate's Archdiocese of Mexico, Venezuela, Central America and the Caribbean. Its first temple was dedicated in 1997.
On 5 November 2017, the Monastery of the Holy Trinity and the associated orphanage, Hogar Rafael Ayau, were canonically transferred from the Orthodox Church of Antioch to the Serbian Orthodox Church. Amfilohije, Metropolitan of Montenegro and the Littoral and the Administrator of South-Central America, came to Amatitlán to greet Mother Inés.
Constantinopolitan
A different, mostly indigenous Mayan, group was accepted into the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in 2010. This had been a group which was part of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal movement and had rocky relations with the Roman Catholic Church. Eventually, the group's leader, Father Andrés Girón, who had previously served as a congressional representative, as a senator in 1991 and as an ambassador to the United Nations, left the Roman Catholic Church over tensions related to his support for land reform and their support for "liturgical reform". Girón and his followers, who numbered between 10,000 and 100,000, first joined the Society of clerks secular of Saint Basil, and later moved towards Orthodoxy, being received into the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople in 2010. According to the Orthodox Christian Mission Center, this may well be the largest mass-conversion to Orthodoxy since the Christianization of Kievan Rus' in 988. The Orthodox Church promptly sent missionaries to Guatemala to educate and catechize the newfound converts.

Attempted assassination of Arthur Calwell
|
On 21 June 1966, an assassination attempt was made on Arthur Calwell, then leader of the Australian Labor Party.
It was arguably the third assassination attempt in Australian political history following Henry James O'Farrell's attempt on the life of Prince Alfred in 1868 and the assassination of NSW Legislative Assembly Member Percival Brookfield in South Australia in 1921, though Thomas Ley, who died while imprisoned at Broadmoor Asylum for murder, was suspected of killing four political opponents in the 1920s.
Assassination attempt
On the evening of 21 June 1966, while campaigning for the 1966 federal election, Arthur Calwell addressed an anti-conscription rally at Mosman Town Hall in Sydney. Senator Douglas McClelland described the meeting as "quite a rowdy one", although Calwell himself stated it was "without incident".
Peter Kocan, a 19-year-old factory worker, stood waiting in the town hall's lobby. At some point he left to retrieve a sawn-off .22 calibre rifle that he had hidden on the grounds of a nearby Methodist church; he concealed it under his overcoat. He later told police that he had sawn off the barrel and stock the night before, as it was too big to fit under his coat. The meeting concluded at about 10:45 p.m., after which Calwell walked to the waiting Commonwealth car to be driven back to his hotel. He sat in the front passenger seat next to the driver Frederick Smith. Calwell usually travelled with his car window open, but it was closed when Kocan shot at him from point-blank range. According to Calwell, "there was an exploding sound coming from my left and the glass in the front nearside window shattered and I felt a stinging sensation to the front of my face in the vicinity of my chin". The bullet shattered the window before coming to rest in the left lapel of Calwell's coat. He received a number of wounds to his face from the shattered glass and bullet fragments, and his shirt was "badly blood-stained".
Calwell re-entered the town hall briefly to telephone his wife, and was then driven to Royal North Shore Hospital where he spent the night. He was released the following evening. Kocan attempted to flee, but was restrained by members of the crowd, including Bob Gould, Barry Robinson, and Wayne Haylen (son of Les Haylen).
The police said Kocan told them after his arrest:
Unless I did something out of the ordinary I realized I would remain a nobody all my life. I came to the conclusion that however hard it was I would have to do something that would set me apart from other nobodies. I would not have done anything so cruel as shoot someone if I had any alternative. That's why I shot Mr Calwell. I'm sorry I caused pain to Mr Calwell... I went there with that intention [to shoot him] and when I fired a shot I didn't care if I hit him or not. I just wanted to get it over with... When I read an advertisement in the paper last Saturday about the meeting... [The rifle was ..] was too bulky. If I was going to assassinate anyone like Mr Kennedy from a window it would have been all right, but it was too bulky to conceal under any clothing... I stood in the lobby of the town hall. I just waited for Mr Calwell to come out, and he came out and talked to various people, and then he went towards his car talking to other people. He got into his car; time was running out. I had the gun in my belt under my coat. I drew the gun, walked up to the window and fired in the general direction of the window. I didn't expect to get away, and I did not intend to run, but when it happened, I decided to run away as a reflex action... I did not intend to shoot Mr Calwell at first. I wanted to assassinate some public figure. I did not agree with Mr Calwell's politics and that made it easier to choose him.
Kocan later reflected, "the shooting logic was in the air at the time", pointing to the assassinations of Ngô Đình Diệm, John F. Kennedy, Hendrik Verwoerd and Malcolm X. "Unfortunately, we are creatures who pick up on what's around", he said. "If it had been a different era, my actions may have been different... Insofar as I had any thoughts about what would happen after the shooting, I assumed I'd be cut down in a hail of bullets."
Sentencing
Kocan was found guilty of attempted murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. The presiding judge Leslie Herron ruled that:
It is necessary for me to pass such a sentence to deter any other person from even considering an attempt upon the life and safety of our public men... You have pleaded guilty to one of the most serious crimes in the criminal calendar and the plain fact must be faced that on June 21 at Mosman Town Hall a bullet fired by you lodged in the lapel of Mr Calwell's coat and portion of it, with shattered glass, stuck in his chin. This public figure had a close call — his life I believe hung by a thread. Indeed, it seems that only by the intervention of Providence he is still alive... All these preparations and your intent was to kill a public figure who was innocent of any offence against you except that you differed from his political views.I regret to say your previous good character must be set aside on this occasion because it must be out weighed. I think, by the gravity of the offence. I am satisfied your motive was to acquire notoriety or as you thought, the fame perhaps of assassinating a public figure. In this you were, I am absolutely satisfied, influenced by the publicity attending the assassination of President Kennedy. But community in Australia does not want the introduction of such criminal acts here. Public men in Australia must be free to go about their important affairs of State without fear of danger to life or limb. I must see that the law protects them to its utmost.
The sentence was upheld on appeal.
Kocan was initially jailed at Sydney's Long Bay Gaol before being transferred to Morriset Psychiatric Hospital for the criminally insane, where he began to study literature, philosophy and history, and to write poetry. Kocan was released after ten years in August 1976.
Calwell visited Kocan at Morriset, and wrote a letter to Kocan forgiving him for the act.

Three for the Road (2007 film)
|
is a 2007 Japanese film directed by Hideyuki Hirayama.
Plot
A courtesan (Okino) is tired of her life in Edo, and is starting to be outshone by younger women, so she tricks a man (Yaji) into helping her escape the brothel where she is bound by contract to stay. Okino claims that her father is dying of "hearth trouble" and she needs to visit him right away. The two pair up with an actor (Kita) who made a mess of a scene in a popular kabuki play and so cannot show his face in Edo, and the three set out to find her father.
They meet with various adventures along the way to Okino's hometown. The rakugo story of Teresuko is intertwined with their tale, possibly referring to various kinds of trickery played by the characters on each other in trying to better their lives.

Aviation English
|
Aviation English is the de facto international language of civil aviation. With the expansion of air travel in the 20th century, there were safety concerns about the ability of pilots and air traffic controllers to communicate. In 1951, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) recommended in "ICAO Annex 10 ICAO (Vol I, 5.2.1.1.2) to the International Chicago Convention" that English be universally used for "international aeronautical radiotelephony communications." Despite being a recommendation only, ICAO aviation English was widely accepted.
Miscommunication has been an important factor in many aviation accidents. Examples include: the 1977 Tenerife airport accident (583 dead); the 1990 crash of Avianca Flight 52, in which crew failed to impart their critical fuel emergency to air traffic controllers (73 dead); and the 1996 Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision (349 dead). ICAO has acknowledged that "communications, or the lack thereof, has been shown by many accident investigations to play a significant role". In 2003, the ICAO "released amendments to annexes of its Chicago Convention requiring aviation professionals involved in international operations to demonstrate a defined level of English language proficiency in the context of aeronautical communications".
ICAO requires that this level of proficiency is to be demonstrated by means of a formal language proficiency assessment, and that the results of this assessment are to be recorded as an endorsement on the professional licenses of pilots and controllers." ICAO has defined the language skills to be assessed in its Holistic Descriptors of Operational Language Proficiency (Appendix to Annex 1 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation), and has provided the means to describe the extent of proficiency in these skills in its Language Proficiency Rating Scale (Attachment to Annex 1 of the Convention on International Civil Aviation). The minimum level of proficiency in English required by pilots and air traffic controllers involved in international operations is that described at Operational Level 4 in this Scale.
Although the language proficiency of aviation professionals who are native speakers of English may typically be considered to be equivalent to Expert Level 6 on the ICAO Scale, they may also be sub-standard communicators in Aviation English, specifically by being prone to the use of non-standard terms, demonstrating impatience with non-native speakers, and speaking excessively, as well as too quickly. Such native speaker failings tend to worsen in emergency situations.
Aviation English is a type of English for specific purposes, with several specific idiosyncratic structures: for example, any correction of a misspoken word must always be conveyed using the word "correction".
Tests
The need for standardized language proficiency assessments to allow pilots and controllers to demonstrate compliance with the revised 2008 ICAO language proficiency standards has led to the creation of a large number of Aviation English tests. Examples of such tests are the English Language Proficiency for Aeronautical Communication (ELPAC) by Eurocontrol, the Test of English for Aviation (TEA) by Mayflower College, UK, the Test of English for Aviation Personnel (TEAP) by Anglo-Continental School, UK, and the English for Aviation Language Testing System (EALTS) by LTAS Ltd, UK. While the ELPAC test for air traffic controllers (developed by Eurocontrol, in partnership with Zurich University of Applied Sciences/ZHAW) and ENOVATE) is currently the only test formally recognized by ICAO as being fully compliant with ICAO Doc 9835, the TEA, the TEAP, and the EALTS all have recognition from numerous National Aviation Authorities and licensing authorities, including the UK CAA, as being both ICAO Doc 9835 and EASA compliant.
Language assessment bodies
The testing of the Aviation English for pilots and air traffic controllers is provided by test service providers termed 'Language Assessment Bodies' (LABs). The term "Testing Service Provider" (TSP) is also used with the same meaning. Around the world, language assessment bodies are approved by National Aviation Authorities (NAA) for the purpose of the testing of English for Aviation language proficiency.

The arterial roads to Kadapakkam are the Anna Salai (Andarkuppam-Redhills Road), Tiruvottiyur-Ponneri High Road. This part of Chennai was considered socially backward a decade ago. However, due to rapid increase in need for quality affordable residential areas in and around Chennai, Kadapakkam became a hunting ground for real estate agents. With the Inner Ring Road becoming functional the area was easily accessible from the Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus.

Ajax Experience
|
The Ajax Experience was a museum dedicated to AFC Ajax' club history in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. The museum, located at the Rembrandtplein, was opened on 24 September 2011 and closed within two years after a 9 million euro loss.
History
On 24 September 2011, Ajax Amsterdam opened the Ajax Experience as an attempt to bring the World of Ajax tour closer to Amsterdam-Centrum. Designed by Sid Lee and Gsmprjct°, the Ajax Experience was an interactive experience which shared the philosophy of the club with the public, as well as bring the audience closer to the likes of Johan Cruijff, Marco van Basten or Wesley Sneijder. Various national and international trophies that were won by the club over the years were on public display as well. With an estimated 3,5 million to 4,5 million fans in the Netherlands, and even more abroad, the Ajax Experience aimed to cater to the various fans who not only frequent the Amsterdam ArenA or Sportpark De Toekomst, but also those who are visiting Amsterdam as a tourist destination who are not looking to deviate too far from the trusted central area near by frequented destinations such as Stopera, Joods Historisch Museum, Tunfun, or Artis.
Location
Situated on the famed Rembrandtsplein in Amsterdam-Centrum in a former ABN-AMRO banking facility, the 1,400 m2 space proved to be optimal to provide the needed room to supply an interactive experience which featured cinematic match summaries, while showcasing the overall successes and big names associated with the club on the historic downtown square.
Dissolution
On 23 July 2013 it was announced that Ajax would discontinue the Ajax Experience, citing a loss in revenue as the cause for the discontinuation of the establishment. The World of Ajax situated at the stadium would however continue to serve as a touristic function for the club, while the fanshop situated at the same location as the Experience remained open until 1 February 2014. The club made a reported €9 Million loss over the course of two years through the museum, which resulted in its immediate shutdown only 2 years after its opening day.

Donald Larnach
|
Donald Larnach (17 July 1817 – 12 May 1896) was a banker, financier and High Sheriff of Sussex in 1882.
Larnach was the son of the late William Larnach, of Newton, Caithness, Scotland, and was born in Scotland. It was also the year in which the Bank of New South Wales in Australia, which he would later lead, was founded (1817).
At the age of seventeen he emigrated to Sydney, New South Wales, where he engaged with great success in squatting and mercantile pursuits. In 1845 he married Jane Elizabeth, daughter of William Walker, a prominent Sydney merchant. In the following year he became a director of the Bank of New South Wales, and was chosen president in 1852. On the discovery of gold in Australia in 1851, Larnach, in conjunction with his colleagues, entered largely into the purchase of the precious metal on account of the Bank, and in 1852 doubled the capital out of profits. In the latter year he returned to England and became manager of the London branch, in the founding of which he was the active spirit.
Larnach retained his connection with the management of the Bank of New South Wales for twenty-five years, and on his retirement was elected Chairman of the London Board of the Bank. In 1858 he became a director of the London Joint Stock Bank, and is also on the board of the Indemnity Mutual Marine Insurance Company. Whilst the Bank of New South Wales held the agency of that colony, its monetary affairs were conducted with great success by Larnach, who is regarded as one of the leading financial authorities in the city of London.

Allan J. Wilson
|
Allan James Wilson was a Canadian-born American horse racing executive.
Early life
Wilson was born on February 16, 1886, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. He spent the first eleven years of his life on his family's farm in Charlottetown, where he began his work with horses. Before he reached his teens, Wilson's family moved to an apartment in Boston.
Business
Due to his family's economic circumstances, Wilson had to stop attending school after eight grade to take a job as a messenger boy at the Frost Forwarding Company. However, he was able to complete a three-year night school course in business at a local high school. After two or three years with the company, Wilson had moved up to the position of head clerk. While still in his teens he became foreman and assistant superintendent. When Wilson was 21, the firm's superintendent died and Wilson was chosen to succeed him. Three years later, Wilson joined the A. Towle Company, a larger competitor of Frost Forwarding, as an equal partner.
Jockey
Wilson was one of the top amateur harness racing drivers in the United States. He competed in Grand Circuit races in Avon, Connecticut, Goshen, New York, and Syracuse, New York.
Track executive
Wilson began his career as a track executive in 1917 as the owner and operator of Sage Park, a harness track in Windsor, Connecticut. Wilson turned the run-down track into one of the showplaces of harness racing in the 1920s. He created area's first $5,000 and $10,000 stake events for two- and three-year-olds as well as a $10,000 stakes for aged horses. Wilson's races attracted horsemen from as far away as St. Louis and Milwaukee. In July 1928 Wilson held a $25,000 Pacing Derby, which was won by Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame horse Grattan Bars.
On January 12, 1921, Wilson was elected president of the Short Ship Circuit, a harness racing chain. From 1929 to 1935 he was president of the Bay State Light Harness Circuit.
In 1932 Wilson played an instrumental role in bringing the Grand Circuit back to Rockingham Park. He served as manager of the meet, which was sponsored by the Boston Garden Corporation in connection with its New England States Fair. It was the first Grand Circuit meet at Rockingham since 1913. In 1933 he secured the rights to host The National and The Great American Stakes, two tune-up races for the Hambletonian Stakes, for Rockingham Park.
On January 12, 1935, Wilson was elected vice president of Eastern Racing Association, Inc., a corporation formed to open the Suffolk Downs thoroughbred race track in East Boston. Six months later he was given the additional duty of managing director. He retained this post until it was abolished in December 1936.
In 1939, Wilson was one of the financial backers of a proposed horse track in Natick, Massachusetts.

On April 17, 1948, Wilson resigned as president and general manager. He was asked to stay on as chairman of the board, but declined because he wanted to cut down on his business and racing responsibilities.
In 1950, Wilson was named vice president and general manager of Scarborough Downs. He was succeeded by Sidney M. Goldfine after the track's first season.

Wilson owned a horse stable based in Newton, Massachusetts. His son, Allan, Jr. was one of his drivers.

Giant City Stone Fort Site
|
The Giant City Stone Fort Site is the site of a prehistoric stone enclosure located within Giant City State Park in Jackson County, Illinois, United States. The Stone Fort dates to the Late Woodland period and was constructed and used in the period from c. AD 600–900; it is one of ten such sites known in Southern Illinois. All ten were constructed atop either promontories or hilltops; the Giant City site is in the former group, as it sits atop a sloped ridge. The purpose of these enclosures is unclear; while archaeologists originally theorized that they were military fortifications, the present archaeological consensus suggests that the sites were used as meeting places or ceremonial locations of some nature.
The original stone wall of the fort was dismantled by European settlers in the region, who used the stone as a building material; the stone base is all that remains of the original wall. In 1934, the Civilian Conservation Corps reconstructed the wall while improving the state park. The first professional archaeological investigations of the site were conducted in 1956 by archaeologists from Southern Illinois University, while the first in-depth survey of the site took place in 2000–2001. The site is accessible to park visitors via a nature trail.
The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 9, 2002.

International Wool Secretariat
|
The International Wool Secretariat (IWS) was formed in 1937 to promote the sale of wool on behalf of woolgrowers and review research carried out by independent bodies such as the Wool Industries' Research Association at Torridon, Headingley Lane, Leeds, England.
IWS was formed by the Wool Boards of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, and funded by levies on wool grown in those countries. Uruguay joined IWS in 1970. The IWS was the overseas extension of the Australian Wool Corporation and eventually was merged into it.
In 1997, IWS changed its name to The Woolmark Company. Since 2007, the Woolmark Company has been a subsidiary of Australian Wool Innovation Limited (AWI), a nonprofit organization that conducts research, development and marketing along the global supply chain for Australian wool on behalf of approximately 60,000 woolgrowers that cooperatively fund the company.
History
In 1936, in response to the surge in the production of artificial fibres, such as rayon (now polyester), used in place of wool, woolgrowers in the three main woolgrowing countries, led by Australia, voted to impose a 6 pence levy for each wool bale produced, with the funds going to research and promotion. (Germany alone produced 9,200 tons of these artificial fibres in 1934, 19,600 tons in 1935 and 45,000 tons in 1936. It had been estimated that the production for 1937 would be 90,000 tons.) On July 1 1937, they formed the International Wool Publicity and Research Secretariat, which was quickly renamed the International Wool Secretariat (IWS). Based in London, the IWS had offices in every major wool-producing country by the mid-1950s.
In 1964, IWS developed and launched the Woolmark logo.
In December 1993, the Australian Wool Corporation (formed in 1973) and the Wool Research and Development Corporation were merged to form the Australian Wool Research and Promotion Organisation (AWRAP). International Wool Secretariat (IWS) and Australian Wool Innovation Limited (AWI) were subsidiaries of AWRAP.
In 1997, IWS’s name was changed to The Woolmark Company Pty Ltd (TWC).
In 2001, Australian Wool Services Limited (AWS) was formed to resolve 36 legacy issues stretching back more than 80 years through previous administrations, including AWRAP and its two subsidiaries. AWI was de-merged from AWS in 2002 and TWC was sold by AWS to AWI in 2007.
What remained of AWS became Graziers’ Investment Company Limited (GIC), which went into liquidation in October 2017, with A$20 million in its bank account. As at March 2020, GIC was close to finalising the liquidation.
Woolmark
The Woolmark logo was developed by the IWS, then under the control of two Australians, William (Archer) Gunn (1914-2003) who was chairman and William Vines (1916-2011) as managing director.
A certification mark used on pure wool products that met the standard of quality set by IWS. The logo was launched in August 1964 after it had been selected following a 1963 competition won by Milanese Francesco Saroglia (most probably a pseudonym chosen by designer Franco Grignani).
The two main objectives were to position wool at the top of the textile market and to ensure that products bearing the Woolmark label were made from pure new wool and manufactured to the highest standards. It was such a success it eventually ranked with a large scallop shell or three-pointed-star in terms of consumer recognition and understanding.
In 2011, British design magazine, Creative Review, declared the Woolmark number one of the top twenty logos of all time.
International Woolmark Prize
In 1953, IWS launched the International Woolmark Prize, with winners including Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld. The award continues to recognise outstanding designers across the globe. It was later suspended.
The International Woolmark Prize was relaunched in 2012 by IWS’s successor, The Woolmark Company (TWC). The objective of the award is to generate long-term demand for Australian Merino wool by increasing the knowledge of and lifetime loyalty to the fibre amongst the competition’s designers around the globe. The 2020 awards were made in February 2020 at the London Fashion Week.
Boston Marathon promotion
The Woolmark Company formed a partnership with Adidas and the Boston Athletic Association to design and manufacture the first Best in Class running shirts, which were given to the top twenty 2018 Boston Marathon finishers in each age group. The shirts were made of 75% merino wool and 25% polyamide (nylon).

Giovanni Battista Canaveri

Giovanni Battista Canaveri (1753-1811) was an Italian nobleman, Bishop of Biella and Vercelli, first Aumônier of Madame Letizia. He was appointed as Baron of the [[Nobility of the First French Empire|French Empire]] in February 1808.
Biography
Canaveri was born September 25, 1753, in Borgomaro, Liguria (Italy), his family was originally from Piedmont and Alpes-Maritimes. His father had exercised the first Magistracy, in the city of Borgomaro. He began his studies at Giaveno and finished at the University of Turin where he received a doctorate at the age of 18. He then studied at the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, and was ordained a priest on September 21, 1776, by the Archdiocese of Turin. In 1797 he was appointed Bishop of Biella, was consecrated in Rome, but by the request of Pius VII he resigned his position. He was consecrated bishop of Vercelli on February 4, 1805.
Confessor of the Princess María Felicita of Savoy, Giovanni Canaveri had founded the "Convitto Principessa Maria Felicita di Savoia," a home created for Noble ladies. The institution was led by the same Canaveri.
French Empire
Because of their aversion to the Jacobins, Canaveri not had difficulty in accepting the government of the First Consul, and in these pastoral letters of 29 September 1801 and 4 Vendemiaire of 1802, he threatened with divine suspension, of the anti-French priests who were against the annexation of the Piedmont to the territory of France. His pro-French attitude, aroused the disapproval of his clergy. On June 1, 1803, was suppressed the diocese of Biella, Canaveri moved to Paris, where he became a member of the Council of the Great Emperor, and was appointed first Chaplain of Letizia Ramolino, mother of Napoleon. After the appointment as Bishop of Vercelli, Canaveri made frequent trips to Paris: from May to October 1806, December 1807 to March 1808, from the summer until October 28, 1808, then again in June 1810. In February of that 1808 was appointed Baron of the Empire. He adopted the Frenchified name of Jean-Baptiste Canavery.
Works
His pastoral letters were mostly a political content and decidedly anti-Jacobin, was the author of Panegyrics, including san Giuseppe and sant'Eusebio. He also wrote some Pastoral Letters in Latin and Italian among them; Dell'ubbidienza dovuta al sovrano; Notizia compendiosa dei monasterj della Trappa, fondati dopo la rivoluzione di Francia''.
Giovanni Battista Canaveri died in the Diocese of Vercelli on January 13, 1811.

Demographics of Metro Detroit
|
As of the census of 2010, there were 5,196,250 people, 1,682,111 households, and 1,110,454 families residing within the Detroit–Warren–Ann Arbor Combined Statistical Area (Detroit CSA). Within the Detroit–Warren–Dearborn Metropolitan Statistical Area (Detroit MSA), there were 4,296,250 people residing. The census reported 70.1% White, 22.8% African-American, 0.3% Native American, 3.3% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 1.2% from other races, and 2.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 6.2% of the population. Arab Americans were at least 4.7% of the region's population.
As of the 2017 American Community Survey estimates, the median income for a household in the MSA was $57,101, and the median income for a family was $72,119. The per capita income for the MSA was $44,403.
History
In 1701, French officer Antoine de La Mothe Cadillac, along with fifty-one additional French-Canadians, founded a settlement called Fort Ponchartrain du Détroit, naming it after the comte de Pontchartrain, Minister of Marine under Louis XIV. The French legacy can be observed today in the names of many area cities (ex. Detroit, Grosse Pointe, Grosse Ile) and streets (ex. Gratiot, Beaubien, St. Antoine, Cadieux).
Later came an influx of persons of British and German descent, followed by Polish, Irish, Italian, Lebanese, Assyrian/Chaldean, Greek, Jewish, and Belgian immigrants who made their way to the area in the early 20th century and during and after World War II. There was a large migration into the city from the rural South following World War I.
Population by ethnicity
The census of 2010 reported 70.1% White, 22.8% African American, 0.3% Native American, 3.3% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 1.2% from other races, and 2.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 6.2% of the population. Arab Americans were at least 4.7% of the region's population.
Ethnic groups
According to the United States Census Bureau, as of July 2018, approximately 79.1% of those residing in the City of Detroit proper are African American. Most but not all of the suburban cities are still predominantly white. In the 2000s, 115 of the 185 cities and townships in Metro Detroit were over 95% white. Of the more than 240,000 suburban blacks in Metro Detroit, 44% lived in Inkster, Oak Park, Pontiac, and Southfield. Highland Park and Hamtramck, two cities surrounded by Detroit, have a similar split with Highland Park being 93% African American but Hamtramck only 15%. In Wayne County, the city of Dearborn has a large concentration of Arab Americans, mainly Lebanese. Recently, the area has witnessed some growth in Albanian, Asian and Hispanic populations. Immigration continues to play a role in the region's projected growth with the population of Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint (CMSA) estimated to be 6,191,000 by 2025.
Oakland County is among the most affluent counties in the United States with populations over one million.
Religion
Religious groups in Metro Detroit include Christianity (67%), Islam (3%), Judaism (2%), Hinduism (1%), Buddhism (1%), and other groups.
Immigration and foreign-born origins
A 2013 report by Global Detroit and Data Driven Detroit stated that there were almost 400,000 immigrants combined in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, and Washtenaw counties. The largest groups are, in order, India, Mexico, Iraq, Canada, and Lebanon. Throughout the entire U.S. the largest immigration group comes from Mexico. Of those living in the four county region as of 2013, about 8% were not born in the United States. That year, the percentages of people not born in the United States were 41% in Hamtramck, 27% in Dearborn, 26% in Troy, and 23% in Sterling Heights. 5% of people within the city of Detroit are immigrants, making the percentage of immigrants in Detroit the lowest such percentage out of those of the 25 largest cities in the United States. The national average is about 13%.
The first wave of immigrants, including Germans, Irish, and Poles, arrived in the mid-19th Century. In 1900 Detroit had 96,503 people who were not born in the United States. This figure increased to 157,534 in 1910. In the early 20th Century the largest wave of immigrants came to work at automobile factories. The immigrants arrived from Armenia, Belgium, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Russia, Syria, and Ukraine. Initially the volume was in the thousands. The volume increased to the tens of thousands after Henry Ford announced that workers would be paid $5 per day. As a result, Austrians, Bulgarians, Croatians, Finns, Lithuanians, Macedonians, Norwegians, Romanians, Serbians, Slovaks, and Swedes traveled to Detroit. By 1925 almost half of Detroit's population was not born in the United States.
By 2001 many Bangladeshi Americans had moved from New York City, particularly Astoria, Queens, to the east side of Detroit and Hamtramck. Many moved because of lower costs of living, larger amounts of space, work available in small factories, and the large Muslim community in Metro Detroit. Many Bangladeshi Americans who moved into Queens, and then onwards to Metro Detroit had origins in Sylhet. In 2002 over 80% of the Bangladeshi population within Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties lived in Hamtramck and some surrounding neighborhoods in Detroit. That area overall had almost 1,500 ethnic Bangladeshis, almost 75% of Bangladeshis in the entire state of Michigan.
LGBT population
As of 2007 Ferndale is the center of the LGBT community in Metro Detroit. As of 1997 many LGBT people reside in Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge, and Royal Oak. Model D stated in 2007 that there are populations of LGBT people in some Detroit neighborhoods such as East English Village, Indian Village, Lafayette Park, and Woodbridge and that the concentration of gay bars in Detroit is "decentralized". As of 1997, Detroit is reported to be racially segregated between gays of different economic and racial backgrounds.

Sulpicia Praetextata
|
Sulpicia Praetextata () was an ancient Roman noblewoman who lived in the Roman Empire in the 1st century.
Family background
Praetextata was a member of the gens Sulpicia. She was the daughter of Quintus Sulpicius Camerinus Peticus, suffect consul in 46 and an unnamed mother. Her brother was Quintus Sulpicius Camerinus Pythicus, who was of consular standing.
Marriage, issue and life
Praetextata married Marcus Licinius Crassus Frugi who served as a consul in 64. He was one of the four sons born to the Roman Politician Marcus Licinius Crassus Frugi and Scribonia.
Praetextata bore Frugi the following children:
Daughter, Licinia Praetextata who served as Chief Vestal Virgin.
Son, Lucius Scribonius Libo Rupilius Frugi Bonus who served as a suffect consul in 88. Frugi Bonus married the daughter of emperor Vitellius, Vitellia, by whom he had a daughter called Rupilia Faustina who became the paternal grandmother of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius.
Son, Marcus Licinius Scribonianus Camerinus.
Son, Gaius Calpurnius Piso Crassus Frugi Licinianus, who served as a consul in 87. Calpurnius Piso and his wife Agedia Quintina conspired against the Roman emperor Nerva, who banished them to Taranto. Piso tried to escape and was banished by the emperor Trajan to a solitary island. He died in the course of a second escape attempt. Calpurnius Piso was placed in the tomb of Licinii Calpurnii.
Frugi was executed by the Roman emperor Nero between 66 and 68, because of information brought against him by Marcus Aquilius Regulus. In 70, early in the reign of emperor Vespasian, Praetextata brought her children to a Roman Senate meeting, seeking vengeance for her husband's death. Regulus and his associated political circle were prosecuted by the Senate. After this episode no more is known of Praetextata.

Ennio Porrino
|
Ennio Porrino (20 January 1910 – 25 September 1959) was an Italian composer and teacher. Amongst his compositions were orchestral works, an oratorio and several operas and ballets. His best known work is the symphonic poem Sardegna, a tribute to his native Sardinia, which premiered in Florence in 1933.
Life and career
Porrino was born in Cagliari and studied at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome. He later studied with Ottorino Respighi from 1932 to 1935. According to Alfredo Casella, he became one of Respighi's disciples, championing an Italian national music movement and openly opposing composers such as Casella, Dallapiccola, and Malipiero for their Modernist music. After Respighi's death in 1936, Porrino and Respighi's widow Elsa completed his unfinished opera Lucrezia for its posthumous premiere at La Scala in 1937.
In the course of his career, Porrino taught at the conservatories of Rome, Venice, and Naples, and in 1956 became the director of the Cagliari Conservatory. That same year he married Malgari Onnis (born 1935), a painter and theatrical designer. She designed the production of Porrino's last work, the opera I Shardana, which premiered on 21 March 1959, six months before his death. The couple had one daughter, Stefania (born 1957), who became a playwright and stage director.
Porrino died in Rome in 1959 at the age of 49. The Concorso Internazionale di Pianoforte Ennio Porrino was established in his memory in 1980.

The Woman I Am (Kellie Pickler album)
|
The Woman I Am is the fourth studio album by American country music artist Kellie Pickler. It was released on November 11, 2013, via Black River Entertainment. The album includes the singles "Someone Somewhere Tonight," "Little Bit Gypsy," and "Closer to Nowhere."
Content
The Woman I Am was produced by Frank Liddell and Luke Wooten, the same team who produced Pickler's third album, 100 Proof. Pickler co-wrote three of the album's twelve tracks, all of which she co-wrote with the help of husband and songwriter Kyle Jacobs.
"Someone Somewhere Tonight," a song previously recorded by both Kenny Rogers and Pam Tillis, was released as the album's lead single on May 14, 2013. After eight weeks, it reached a peak of number 49 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in July 2013. "Little Bit Gypsy" and "Closer to Nowhere" were released as the album's second and third singles, peaking at number 50 and number 59, respectively.
Critical reception
The Woman I Am garnered critical acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, they assign a "weighted average" score to ratings and reviews from mainstream critics, which based upon four reviews the album has a Metascore of an 82, and this signifies "universal acclaim". At USA Today, Brian Mansfield felt that Pickler's "albums are as much fun as hearing her talk." Stephen Thomas Erlewine at Allmusic claimed that this album was not one "that makes a career, but rather one that helps a career be built." At Rolling Stone, Rob Tannenbaum alluded to how Pickler "continues to [write] vibrant drama from her crazy family". Glenn Gamboa for Newday highlighted that "With 'The Woman I Am,' Pickler shows how the next phase of her career may be bigger than she ever dreamed." At Entertainment Weekly, they said Pickler "ditches modish pop-country for old school songs about cheating and her pistol-packin' great grandma", and felt that "she shines brightest on the autobiographical title track." At Music Is My Oxygen, Rob Burkhardt noted that her underrated status was "poised to change" because the album will put "her in a position to come into her own." Furthermore, Burkhardt told that the release comes "with the perfect combination of old and new, spunk and honesty."
At Country Weekly, Tammy Ragusa evoked that "Kellie has made a natural evolution while managing to stay true to those things that are important to her" on the release. Also, Ragusa claimed that "with her commitment to the integrity of her music and sound, she’s definitely a female force to be reckoned with." Blake Boldt of Engine 145 noted how with this release Pickler "affirms her status as an authentic personality and, more importantly, an intelligent picker of songs." In addition, Boldt wrote that for the duration of the album Kellie "proves how a current hitmaker can emphasize the genre’s traditions while still engaging with contemporary sounds and themes", which this allow her "to resurrect the past and move it into the future." At Roughstock, Matt Bjorke proclaimed that "Kellie's 12 tracks on The Woman I Am are some of the best music she's made." Donna Block at Got Country Online proclaimed that "There are even more Kellie-country gems on the album", which is why "Country music fans will agree, we are all thankful Kellie has found her sound, herself, and shares it with all of us."

Oh Kyu-won
|
Oh Kyu Won (December 29, 1941 – February 2, 2007) was a South Korean writer.
Life
Oh Kyu Won's original name was Oh Gyuok. Born on December 29, 1941 in Miryang, Gyeongsangnam-do, he attended Busan Teachers' School before graduating from the Law Department of Dong-a University. He was the president of the Munjangsa publishing company, and is presently a professor in the Department of Creative Writing at the Seoul Institute of the Arts.
Work
Oh Kyu Won's early poems use witty, sparkling, and ironic language in an effort to destroy established forms and provide a critique of the baseness and emptiness of capitalist consumer culture. Through the process of the endless deconstruction and regeneration of his poetic material, he refashioned everyday words and recognizable images in order to produce the “unconsciousness of modernity,” and in doing so capture certain realities of everyday life particular features of our mental landscape that are generally passed by unnoticed. His poems thus derive strength from the quotidian, but only by recreating and reconceptualizing it. Irony is another of Oh's techniques adopted to criticize a false and fetishistic ideal world. By thus lifting aspects of the mundane and banal up to his scrutinizing eye, out of the fabric of our “modern unconsciousness,” he captures the contradictory and complex features of the modern petit bourgeois and helps us to rediscover our own lives. Oh's poems also demonstrate the influence of the fable and his fascination with the most common of words, which often serve him as elements of parody and ironic critique.
Oh Kyu Won's work has attempted to demolish old conceptual frames and stale assumptions and to look at the world in its naked reality. In order to do this, Oh frequently uses the technique of reversal:
The coffin of the man asphyxiated by coal briquet gas
Passes through the gate of the apartment dragging two men along
A lilac tree steps out of the crowd of onlookers and leaves reality in the company of the coffin.
Through such reversals of death and life, mobile and immobile, Oh tries to provide a fresh point of view, one that might even be characterized as Brechtian.
Oh has received such prizes as the Contemporary Literature Prize and the Yeonam Literature Prize as well as the Korea culture and arts prize for literature and I-San Literary Award.

Betty Hill (politician)
|
Margaret Elizabeth Hill ( Dubois; May 12, 1937 – November 4, 2013) was a Canadian pre-amalgamation municipal politician in Ottawa, Ontario. She was the reeve of Richmond, Ontario and following amalgamation in 1974, was mayor of Goulbourn Township, Ontario until 1981. She also sat on the council of the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton.
In 1994, she was elected to Ottawa-Carleton Regional Council, two years after getting a law degree. She won election by just 75 votes. She represented Western Townships Ward, which covered Goulbourn, Rideau and West Carleton Townships. She was re-elected by acclamation in 1997.
In 1997, Hill ran for the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada in Nepean—Carleton, but disagreed with party leader Jean Charest over calling Quebec a 'distinct society'. She finished third in the race with 19.0%. A "firebrand conservative", Hill opposed bilingualism in her career, was a fierce francophobe (source: Riley, Susan, 'Tory cheer belies huge electoral challenge, The Ottawa Citizen; Ottawa, Ont. [Ottawa, Ont]. 10 Mar 1997: D.4.), was a tax hawk, supported suburban developments and opposed social projects.
Prior to Ottawa's amalgamation in 2001, Hill ran 2000 municipal elections for the new Goulbourn Ward, but lost to Goulbourn Mayor Janet Stavinga.
Hill died from diabetes complications on November 4, 2013, at the age of 76.

Dendrodrilus rubidus
|
Dendrodrilus rubidus is a species of earthworm in the family Lumbricidae. It is native to Europe, and it is a widespread introduced species, occurring on every continent except Antarctica, as well as many islands. It is often invasive. It is sometimes used as fishing bait, and is marketed under many nonspecific names, including red wiggler, jumping red wiggler, red trout worm, jumbo red worm, and pink worm. Other common names include bank worm, tree worm, and gilt tail.
Description
This earthworm is 2 to 10 centimeters long and dark red in color with a yellowish or orange tail end.
Habitat
This is an epigeic species, one which occurs on the soil surface in leaf litter and in the top layers of the soil, up to 10 centimeters deep. It prefers substrates rich in organic material, such as rotting wood and other plant matter, compost, peat, and manure. It occurs in many habitat types. It is common in the coniferous forests of its native range, and in cultivated soils. In North America it is often found in biological surveys of caves. It inhabits the organic soils of the nest mounds of the red wood ant (Formica aquilonia) in the forests of Finland, and it may help to keep the nests free of fungi. This earthworm is tolerant of soils with high levels of heavy metals and toxic semimetals. It has been observed in mine spoils contaminated with arsenic and in nickel- and copper-contaminated soils near smelting operations. It also tolerates acidic conditions, allowing it to thrive in the acidic litter of conifers.
Biology
The species has a high rate of reproduction, and can complete its life cycle in 75 days. There are morphs that reproduce sexually and by parthenogenesis, producing young without fertilization.
While the worms themselves are sensitive to cold temperatures, the cocoons are very cold-hardy. They can stay viable over the winter in temperatures below −40 °C. In an experiment, 50% of a sample of cocoons kept at the temperature of liquid nitrogen (−196 °C) for 24 hours still had viable embryos. Their ability to survive such cold comes from their very low water content and the presence of cryoprotectant compounds such as sorbitol. In cold climates the adults die off and the cocoons overwinter, a new generation emerging when temperatures rise.
As an invasive species
This is one of many European earthworms that are now familiar worldwide as introduced and sometimes invasive species. For example, the Upper Midwest region of the United States has no native earthworms today, the last native taxa having been extirpated during the Ice Age. With European settlers came European earthworm species such as D. rubidus, which now make up the local earthworm fauna. A similar pattern occurred on parts of the Russian Plain, which has a few native earthworms and many introduced species. D. rubidus and other exotic epigeic earthworms are considered invasive because they alter the composition and stratification of the leaf litter on the forest floor as they consume it; this alters the ecosystems involved with the various soil horizons, a change which has a cascading effect through other ecosystems.
One common way this species spreads is through the release of bait worms into the habitat. It is a "nightcrawler", an earthworm used as fishing bait, and one of several species sold in American bait shops as "red wigglers". It can often be found in shipments of worms labelled as another species, such as Lumbricus terrestris or L. rubellus. Bait worms are commonly lost and dumped in the habitat on fishing trips; sites of invasive populations are often near lakes. Exotic earthworms in general are also introduced when the cocoons are transported on vehicles and machinery, in ballast, and on the water itself.
There are no good control methods for exotic earthworms that do not have the potential to affect other organisms, so prevention of introductions is more important.

Izrael Poznański Palace
|
The Izrael Poznański Palace () is a 19th-century palace in Łódź, Poland. Initially the site of a tenement building, the property was transformed into a Neo-Renaissance and Neo-baroque style residence during the years 1888 to 1903.
History
The history of the palace goes back to the 1860s. It was during this time that Kalman Poznański, a Polish-Jewish trader from Kowal in the Kuyavia region, arrived and began to live in Łódź. Kalman started a cotton industry, but it was not successful. However, when the business was taken over by his son, Izrael (1833–1900), there was a phenomenal rise in the price of cotton around the world. Izrael made a fortune from cotton and spent a large part of his earnings on the palace, which eventually took on his name.
When Izrael Poznański acquired the site of the palace, there was a modest two-story building standing already. He renovated and expanded the building into a large residence. Taking his inspiration from the French neo-Renaissance, architect Hilary Majewski (and later Adolf Zeligson who modified the building) designed a suitably lavish abode which was meant to be the residence of Poznański, one of the key industrialists that drove the textile revolution in Łódź. The palace was marked for its opulence and grand size, and distinguished itself from the surrounding residences.
The palace is also notable because of its L-shaped design. Another feature of the palace is the southern wing, which is topped with the tall domed roofs. It also included gardens filled with "botanical phenomena" so rare to the country that their Latin names had no Polish equivalent at the time, a shooting range and exteriors boasting majestic domes, fancy embellishments and sculptures representing allegories of industry. Inside, a ballroom, a chamber of mirrors and a glass-ceilinged winter garden were also added to the labyrinthine layout. The interior decoration of the large Dining Room as well as the Ballroom was designed by a renowned Łódź artist and painter Samuel Hirszenberg.
Before the outbreak of World War II, members of the Poznański family emigrated to Western Europe. During the German occupation, the palace served as headquarters of Nazi German authorities. After the war, the building served as the seat of the voivodeship office.
Since 1975, the palace has housed the Museum of the City of Łódź (Muzeum Miasta Łodzi). The museum possesses rich collections of numismatics, iconography, painting, sculpture, graphics, books and manuscripts. The palace served as a setting to a number of films, most notably Andrzej Wajda's 1975 Academy Award-nominated drama film The Promised Land.
Modern times
In 2015, the palace was officially included on the List of Historic Monuments of Poland. In 2017, the process of revitalization of the palace was initiated, and work began on renovating the palace's facade. Renovation of the palace was completed in 2020 on the 200th anniversary of "Modern Łódź" and the building "(has) regained its perch as one of the nation’s most magnificent urban structures."

Phrynarachne decipiens
|
Phrynarachne decipiens, the bird-dropping spider, is a species of tropical crab spider from Malaysia and Indonesia (Sumatra and Java). It mimics a bird dropping in its appearance and the way it behaves.
Description
The bird-dropping spider is a master of deception. It crouches stationary on a leaf or other level surface and exhibits an elaborate combination of form and colour, the posture it adopts and the character of its web so as to simulate accurately a patch of bird's excreta. The underside of its abdomen is chalky white and its legs black. It weaves a small irregular white web on the surface of a prominently placed leaf and adopts an upside-down pose near the centre of the web with its legs folded, anchoring itself in place with some spines on its legs. The effect of this is to create the impression of a semi-solidified bird's dropping with a white raised centre with black specks, a surrounding thinner, more liquid portion and even a drip effect on the lowest margin ending with a little knob. The mimicry is enhanced by the fact that the spider emits an odour not unlike bird excreta.
Discovery
Here is how the Scottish naturalist Henry Ogg Forbes described how he first came to discover the spider:
Later Forbes found another specimen on Sumatra and sent it back to Britain. He was a believer in Charles Darwin's theory of evolution through natural selection but found it difficult to understand how the mimicry of a variable object like a bird dropping could have evolved. The arachnologist Reverend Octavius Pickard-Cambridge brushed his doubts aside. The spider was not attempting to mimic the dropping and the web spun on the surface of the leaf was solely to anchor the spider in a position where it could await the arrival of winged prey. The fact that it then in some way resembled a bird dropping was fortuitous and natural selection merely acted to enhance the similarity.

Rafaël Rozendaal

Rafaël Rozendaal (born 1980) is a Dutch-Brazilian visual artist currently living and working in New York City. He is known as a pioneer of Internet Art.
BYOB
Rozendaal founded BYOB (Bring Your Own Beamer), an open source exhibition concept. The idea is that anyone can create an exhibition of media art with or without budget. The manual of BYOB reads: " 1) Find a space, 2) Invite many artists, 3) Ask them to bring their projector." With this concept Rozendaal wanted to bring the internet to a real life physical space and allow viewers to "‘walk through the internet".
Since its beginning in 2010, more than 150 BYOB events were organized around the world. In 2011, BYOB was the theme of the II Internet Pavilion for the Venice Biennale
Selling websites
Rozendaal is one of the first artists to sell websites as art objects. His websites are sold to art collectors, who then own the domain name of that given work. Both the artist and the collector sign a contract that the work has to remain publicly accessible. The name of the collector is placed in the source code and the title of the webpage. Rozendaal created the Art Website Sales Contract, which is a public document that can be used by any artist or collector to help in the selling of public website art. In 2013, Rozendaal’s www.ifnoyes.com website sold at an auction at Phillips (auctioneers) in New York for $3,500.
NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)
In August 2021 Rozendaal launched an NFT project titled Endless Nameless, which consisted of 1,000 artworks generated by an algorithm on the Ethereum blockchain. Half of the proceeds of the sale were donated to the arts nonprofit Rhizome, resulting in a donation of 164 Ether (approximately $430,000 at time of donation).. This is the largest private donation in Rhizome's history.

Thomas Bonham (physician)
|
Thomas Bonham M.D. (c. 1564c. 1628) was an English physician, now remembered for his involvement in Dr. Bonham's Case, of legal rather than medical significance.
Life
Bonham was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. in 1581, and M.A. in 1585. He was incorporated B.A. at Oxford in 1584, and on 9 July 1611 was M.D. there. He practised his profession in London, and was an assistant to the Society of Medicine-Chirurgians. His death occurred about 1629.
Bonham's Case
Bonham was a physician by qualification, with a Cambridge medical degree (date now unclear), styling himself a medical doctor by 1602. He was not thereby qualified to practise in London by administering internal remedies, without a license from the College of Physicians of London. Bonham took the side of the surgeons, then a separate profession, who in 1605 petitioned parliament, unsuccessfully, for full rights as doctors. Then putting himself forward for examination by the College of Physicians in 1605, and 1606, he had a confrontation with Henry Atkins of the college on the second occasion. Finding himself in Newgate Prison for contempt of the college, he was freed by his lawyer under habeas corpus.
Still faced with a large fine from the college for unlicensed practice, Bonham pursued the matter by legal means, which set the Court of Common Pleas against the Court of King's Bench. Sir Edward Coke in the Common Pleas ruled for Bonham, who was again in prison, and fined the college, at the same time commenting on the college's status (a charter confirmed by parliament) as potentially subject to the common law. Coke's decision outraged the king and some leading lawyers, and continued to resonate for two centuries.
Works
Bonham left books and papers to his servant, Edward Poeton, by whom they were edited and published as The Chyrurgians Closet, or Antidotarie Chyrurgicall, London 1630. The work was dedicated by Poeton, then residing at Petworth in Sussex, to Frances, Dowager Countess of Exeter, second wife of Thomas Cecil, 1st Earl of Exeter.

The Haggerston by-election was a Parliamentary by-election held on 1 August 1908. The constituency returned one Member of Parliament (MP) to the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, elected by the first past the post voting system.
Vacancy
Sir Randal Cremer the sitting member died on 22 July 1908. He had been Liberal MP for the seat of Haggerston since the 1900 general election.
Electoral history
The seat had been Liberal since they gained it in 1900. They easily held the seat at the last election, with an increased majority;
No Labour Party or Socialist candidate had ever stood. At the 1907 London County Council election The Conservative backed Municipal Reform Party had gained Haggerston from the Liberal backed Progressive Party.
Candidates
The local Liberal Association selected Walter Richard Warren to defend the seat. He was standing for parliament for the first time.
The Conservatives retained 34-year-old Hon. Rupert Guinness as their candidate. He served as a captain in the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve and was commanding officer of HMS President (London Division RNVR) from 1903. He was standing for parliament for the second time, having lost here in 1906. However, in 1907 he experienced electoral success in Haggerston when he was one of the two Municipal Reform candidates elected to serve on the London County Council
The Socialist Social Democratic Federation chose to intervene in the by-election, and fielded Herbert Burrows a 63-year-old former civil servant from Suffolk, one of the organisers of the Matchgirls Strike. He was standing for parliament for the first time.
Campaign
Polling Day was fixed for 1 August 1908.
Result
The Conservatives gained the seat on a swing of 10.25%;
The result was seen as a victory for Tariff Reform and a disappointment to the third party Social Democratic Federation.
Aftermath
Warren sought election to parliament at the next general election at the Conservative seat of Wandsworth, without success. Guinness once again faced Burrows and a new Liberal candidate who defeated him;
Warren switched his attention to municipal politics and in March 1910, standing for the Liberal backed Progressive Party, he gained a seat from the Conservative backed Municipal Reform Party at Battersea in the 1910 London County Council election.

Storgatan, Umeå
|
Storgatan ("Main Street" or literally "Great Street") is one of the longer streets in Umeå (Sweden), about 4 kilometers long. Storgatan passes by the main city areas on the north side of Ume River. The street reaches from the old city limits at Tvärån in the west to Umeå East Station, near the Norrland's University Hospital, in the east.
Along Storgatan lies a number of Umeå Municipality's historic buildings, and five of the city's major parks. On average around 8,900 vehicles per day passes on this street (2006).
History
When Umeå was founded in 1622, on the northern side of the Ume River, it was staked out in a grid pattern with two longitudinal streets parallel to the river and five perpendicular alleys that ran all the way to the river. The southern long street (nowadays Storgatan) continued onwards from the city limits in the form of the coastal road that ranged between Stockholm and Tornio.
The coastal road's local route went from Röbäck, to the ferry location on the Ume River at Backenkyrkan (literally "The Hillside Church"), through Umeå and then around Nydalasjön's southern tip and on to Innertavle.
In 1780, Storgatan was paved and in 1782 the houses along it received house numbers, since it was decided that all houses and farms in Umeå should be numbered. The number had to be painted on a wooden board and nailed above the main entrances.
In 1864 Umeå got a new city plan, which had influences from Nikolaistad (Now the City of Vaasa) that was rebuilt after a fire in 1852.
In this plan the width of the streets were extended. The width of Storgatan increased from about 4–5 meters to roughly 18 meters (60 feet). The new plan also made room for sidewalks and plant beddings along the street. These approximately 3 meters (10 feet) wide beddings had to be planted with flowers and shrubs at the homeowner’s expense. The house owners even got a fencing obligation, meaning that a property facing the street must be enclosed by a plank wall or fence, and it had to be built in a "tasteful" style. However those rules did not apply to already developed areas, for cost reasons.
In 1866 the new building ordinance for Umeå established that along the pavement edge suitable broadleaf trees had to be planted at regular intervals and thus Umeå had it first street birches. These were planted along the western part of Storgatan. However, the planting of birches on the city sidewalks was not done on a large scale until after the 1888 fire. In 1892 it was decided that the birch tree was the most suitable tree to plant on the city sidewalks.
The transformation of the City Centre in the 1950 - 1960 centuries also affected the buildings along Storgatan.
Only a few of the old wooden houses were spared from being demolishing and the rest was replaced by modern buildings, such as the 1963 Domus department store (the current MVG mall) that has one of its sides to Storgatan.
In 2002, the center part of Storgatan was restored to have a more original look. The street got a 6.5 meter wide carriageway and a 5 meter wide walkway with birch trees on both sides of the roadway. Between the birches parking spots where added.
Listed buildings along Storgatan
Along Storgatan a number of listed buildings are located: Gamla lasarettet, Bagare Thillmans gård, Gamla slöjdskolan, Löjtnant Grahns gård, The Court of Appeal for Upper Norrland, Färgare Höglanders gård, von Ahnska magasinet, Gamla bankhuset ("Smörasken"), Sparbankshuset, Umeå Town Hall, Handelsbanken, Riksbankshuset, Moritzska gården, Scharinska villan, Ringstrandska villan, Länsresidenset and Umeå Old Prison.

Ramjit Raghav
|
Ramjit Raghav (1916 – 11 February 2020) was an Indian man who was claimed by various media outlets as the world's oldest father. He resided in Haryana with his wife. He claimed to have had his first child with his wife at age 94. He fathered a second child at age 96. A vegetarian who claimed to engage in sexual intercourse around three times a day, Raghav was chosen to be an ambassador for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) in November 2012.
Biography
Ramjit Raghav was born in India in 1916. In his younger days, he worked as a professional wrestler. Later, he switched to farming.
Raghav was a strict vegetarian, living predominantly on milk, almonds and butter, and credits vegetarianism for his longevity and clean bill of health. He was quoted by The Telegraph as saying:
In 2010, at the supposed age of 94, Raghav claimed to have become the world's oldest father when his wife, then aged 49, gave birth to a son, whom the couple named Bikramjeet.
In November 2012, PETA selected Raghav to be one of its international ambassadors. He was featured in a PETA awareness-raising advertisement with the slogan "Vegetarians Still Got It at the Age of 96".
In 2012, when Raghav claimed to have been 96, his 52-year-old spouse allegedly gave birth to another son, named Ranjeet. Raghav stated that the couple would not have a third child, as they were experiencing financial troubles. He also announced that his wife would be undergoing tubal ligation to avoid the possibility of an accidental pregnancy.
Raghav died in a fire at his home in February 2020 at the age of 104.
Oldest fathers: medical considerations
The website of the world record authority Guinness World Records lists the oldest father ever as Australian Les Colley (1898-1998), who allegedly fathered his ninth child at age 92 with a Fijian woman he met through a dating agency. In contrast, in a random international sample of 11,548 men confirmed to be biological fathers by DNA paternity testing, the oldest father was found to be just 66 years old at the birth of his child. Regarding Raghav's case, an Indian hospital worker stated, "Having babies at such an age is a remote possibility, but it just needs one sperm to fertilise an egg."

Thangjam Manorama
|
Thangjam Manorama (1971–2004) was a 32-year-old woman from Manipur, India who was killed by the Indian paramilitary unit, 17th Assam Rifles on 11 July 2004. Her bullet-ridden and badly mutilated dead body was found abandoned three kilometers away from her home where she was arrested the night before. She was shot several times. Investigations revealed that she was tortured and raped before being killed but there was involvement of Assam Rifles.
Disparities in official version
At the time of the arrest, no incriminating items were found, as per the arrest memo. Later it was stated that a grenade and other items had been seized from her home.
Assam Rifles claimed that she was shot while trying to escape. However, no blood was found near the body despite six bullet wounds. No soldier was identified as having tried to run or detain her.
Given these disparities,
a commission of inquiry was set up by the Manipur government in 2004, and submitted its report in Nov 2004.
However, the Guwahati High court also looked into the matter and ruled that since the Assam Rifles had been deployed
under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958, the state government did not have jurisdiction over them,
and the case should be dealt with by the central government. Thus, the report was never released subject to this judgment.
Protests against the AFSPA
The failure to assign culpability in the alleged rape and murder case led to widespread and extended protests in Manipur and Delhi.
Five days after the killing, around 30 middle-aged women walked naked through Imphal to the Assam Rifles headquarters, shouting: "Indian Army, rape us too... We are all Manorama’s mothers."
Padma Shree author M. K. Binodini Devi returned her award in protest.
Protests have continued in 2004 and over the years.
In early 2012, the Justice Varma committee includes measures for reviewing AFSPA as part of a set of steps to reduce violence against women; these measures are partly been attributed to the protests involving Manorama.
Recently, in December 2014, in a case filed at Supreme Court of India, the apex court told to government to pay a compensation of Rs. 10 lakhs to Manorama's family. The case was accepted for hearing in the court. It was seen as one of the partial victory, but the doubt remains the same as even in past, compensations were declared for victims of AFSPA, but courts could not spell any judgement against culprits for awarding punishment.

Pachaimalai Subramanya Swamy Temple
|
Pachaimalai Arulmigu Subramanya Swamy Temple, also known as the Pachaimalai Balamurugan Temple, is one of the two major hill temples located in Gobichettipalayam, Tamil Nadu, India. The temple is dedicated to the Lord Murugan. The temple is constructed in the Tamil style of architecture and is located on top of a small hillock in the outskirts of the town of Gobichettipalayam near Pudupalayam, Tamil Nadu. Here, Kartikeya is venerated as Balamurugan or Subramanya Swamy.
Origin of name
Pachaimalai means "green hill". It is believed that the presence of a water spring directly below the sanctum sanctorum gives the hill its name. During the drought years of 2001 to 2005, when the wells went dry in the areas around the hill, water was still available on top of the hill.
History
According to legend, Saint Durvasa visited the Shiva temple at Kunnathur during his temporary stay at Kongu Nadu.
His mystic powers revealed to him that Modachur, a village near Gobichettipalayam, was the most suitable place for undertaking a penance on Lord Shiva. Upon reaching Modachur, he invokes Lord Shiva and went into a deep meditation. However, he longed for the dharshan of Lord Murugan. On Lord Shiva's advice, he reaches a small hillock: Pachaimalai. He worships Sri Murugan as Dhandayuthapani and installed a statue of him facing towards the west.
As time went on, the temple at Pachaimalai was forgotten and left in a dilapidated state. However, in 1954, Amarar. P. K. Kuppusamy Gounder is said to have a seen a divine light emanating from the sanctum sanctorum of the shrine. He endeavored to start regular poojas and codified the practices and events at the temple. As a result of his efforts, the temple was completely rebuilt by 1980.
Architecture
The temple has a five story gopuram, a feature of Dravidian architecture. The main deity is Balamurugan, the child form of Lord Murugan. The main deity faces west. The temple also has a 40 feet (12.2 m) statue of Lord Senthilandavar, which is visible from the town of Gobichettipalayam. It is one of the largest statues of Murugan in the state.
The temple also has shrines dedicated to various gods and goddesses including Vidya Ganapathy, Maragatheeswarar and His consort Maragathavalli, Kalyana Subramanyar with His consorts Valli and Deivanai, Maragatha Venkatesa Perumal with His consorts Sridevi and Bhoodevi, Dakshinamurthi, Bhairavar, and the Navagraham. At Pachaimalai, Navagrahangal can be seen with their consorts seated on their respective mounts, which is considered unusual.
Moolavar - Balamurugan
The presiding deity of the temple is Sri Balamurugan in the form of Bala Dhandayuthapani. Swarnabandanam–the gold plate covering the pedastal–has been done for Moolavar.
Lord Shanmugar
Pachaimalai is known for Lord Shanmugar, who is the manifestation of Lord Murugan with six faces. Every month during the days of Visakam, Shasti and Kiruthigai, Abihekam, and special Shanmugarchanai is performed for the Deity. During Skandha Shasti, Shanmugarchanai is done for six days consecutively. During the annual Bhramotsava which falls in the month of Panguni, one can witness Lord Shanmuga in three attires. In the first one, Lord Shanmuga and his consorts are adorned completely in white conveying that he is Brahma, the Creator. In the second, red attire conveys that he is Shiva, the Destroyer. On the day of Panguni Uthiram, he is clad in green, symbolizing that he is Vishnu, the Protector. Devotees offer green flowers, clothes, and rose water to the Deity on that day.
Lord Kalyana Subramanya
At Pachaimalai, Sri Kalyana Subramanya presides over the chariot festival held on Panguni Uthiram every year. Kalyana Urchavam, the marriage ceremony, is performed for Lord Subramanya during Panguni Uthiram, Thai Poosam, and Kandar Shasti. He goes on fast for seven days during Kandar Shasti and Soorasamharam (சூரசம்ஹாரம்) is enacted by him in Gobichettipalayam. It is believed that the statue of the Subramanya is over 600 years old.
Kadamba tree
The Kadamba Tree is honored as the Sthala Viruksham at Pachaimalai. The tree is considered very auspicious for Lord Murugan. The name "Kadamban" for Lord Murugan is derived from the name of this tree. The tree flowers only during the month of Chitirai.
Pujai
There are seven poojas scheduled daily at the temple. The pooja at 7 p.m. is considered auspicious.
Every Tuesday, New Moon Day (Amavasai), Sankatahara Chathurthi, Pradhosham, Full Moon Day (Pournami), Theipirai Bhairavar Ashtami, Shashti and Kiruthigai are celebrated with special poojas. The temple has a golden peacock and a golden chariot in which the Deity is taken in a procession at 7 p.m. Arulmigu Dhandapani is taken to the golden chariot in his 'golden peacock' mount in complete golden attire.
Festivals
Panguni Uthiram
The Brahmotsavam festival of the temple is celebrated in month of Panguni. Lord Kalyana Subramanyar is taken in a procession around the hill on the first six days in different mounts such as the Bootha Vahanam, Yaanai Vahanam (Elephant), Rishaba Vahanam (Ox), Annapatchi Vahanam (Swan), and Attukidai Vahanam (Goat). On the sixth day, Thiru Kalyana Utsavam is performed and the Sri Subramanyar graces the Wooden Chariot. On Panguni Uthiram day, the temple is visited by thousands of devotees who carry Kavadi and perform abishekam. The massive temple chariot is run on the same evening. Annadhanam is done to feed the thousands of devotees who visit the temple throughout the day.
Skandha Shasti Soorasamharam
The Skanda Shasti Soorasamharam festival is enacted in the town of Gobichettipalayam. The Deity, mounted on an elephant, presides over the function to defeat and give salvation to Soorapadman, the personification of Ego. The festival is a symbolic celebration of the victory of the good over evil. The Deity and devotees undertake "Kandar Shasti Viratham", fasting for seven days. The fast is broken on the day after Kandar Shasti, after the Thirukalyana Utsavam.
Thai Poosam
During the first half of the day, Kavadi abishekam is performed continuously. During the later part of the day, the presiding Deity of the temple graces in Thanga Kavasam–the golden Kavacha.
Vaikaasi Visaagam 'Lacharchanai'
The annual Lacharchanai is conducted during Vaikasi Visakam for three days. On the final day, Shatru Samhara Homam and a grand abishekam is done for the Deity.
Special practices
Shatru Samhara Thirisadai Archanai
Shatru Samhara Thirisadai Archanai glorifies and invokes Lord Subramanya using the six syllables of Sa-Ra-Va-Na-Bha-Va in different arrangements. It is done at Pachaimalai every Tuesday morning. Devotees are encouraged to recite the mantras along with the acharyas. The multitude of voices at the same time is said to give a sense of peace to the mind.
Participation in this archanai is believed to lead to the destruction of evil and enemies. It is also considered to bestow the boon of marriage and children.
Shatru Samhara Homam
Shatru Shamkara Homam is the yagna invoking Lord Subramanya. The purpose is to free oneself from the evils within oneself such as anger, ego, jealousy, and arrogance. It also cures the ill effects of pilli soonya (black magic). Shatru Shamkara Homam is done in a grand manner at Pachaimalai during Vaikasi Visagam (birth star of Muruga). It is done for six days consecutively during Skandha Shasti and Panguni Uthiram. It involves six sivacharyas who perform the Shatrusamhara thirisadai Archanai which is followed by the yagna.
Thaarabishekam
Thaarabishekam is a vedic ceremony in which milk is dripped slowly on the Deity, through a Tharai or a Vessel. The ceremony is accompanied by the recitation of Rudram eleven times, invoking Shiva as Rudra and Parabrama.
Thaaraabishekam is done simultaneously for Sri Balamurugan (the presiding Deity) and Sri Maragatheeshwarar. It is done regularly during Agni Natchatiram, the hottest period of the year.
Thei Pirai Ashtami Bhairava Pooja
On every Thei Pirai Ashtami, special poojas and homam are conducted for Kala Bhairava. The rituals begin in the evening with the Maha Kala Bhairava Homam. It is believed that participation in this homa will protect one from evil and black deeds. The homam or the yagna is followed by special (ritual bathing) for Kala Bhairava. Punuku, a kind of natural scent, is offered to the deity. Hundreds of devotees can be found offering eleven Ellu Deepam, which is considered sacred to Lord Bhairava. At the end of the pooja, bitter gourd rice and Vada are given as Prasadam. This pooja attracts hundreds of devotees every month.
Annadhaanam
Pachaimalai is also well-known for Annadhaanam–the act of feeding the devotees. Ceremonies at the temple are usually followed by Annadhanam. This temple is covered under the Annadhaanam Scheme of the Government of Tamil Nadu.

Lee–Lin rivalry
|
The Lee–Lin rivalry was a rivalry between two professional badminton players, Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan. It is considered among the greatest rivalries in badminton history.
Of their 40 meetings, Lin won the head to head battle by 28–12. They met in the final 22 times, semi-finals 15 times, including twice in the final of the Olympic Games and World Championships, which Lin took all the victories. Lin was also better in their 11 meetings in Super Series finals (including Super Series Premier) tournaments, which Lin took 9 of them.
Each athlete has their own successes. Lee won 47 Super Series titles between 2007–2017 and ranked first worldwide for 349 weeks, which included a 199-week streak from 21 August 2008 to 14 June 2012. Lin achieved a "Super Grand Slam" at the age of 28 by winning all 9 premier titles.
Their last meeting was 2018 All England Open, which Lin won, before Lee announced retirement due to nose cancer.
Background
Lee and Lin have played a total of 40 times, with Lin having the upper hand in their rivalry with a final head to head record of 28–12. Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan are by far two of the most dominant players across three generations and many regard Lin Dan as the greatest of all time, leading to media and players alike to liken the period between 2006 and 2016 as the Lin-Lee era.
As both great athletes, they are noted for their signature playing styles. Lee is famed for his incredible speed, counter-attacking prowess, crouch defence, recovery, deceptive net play and steep, hard-hitting jump smashes. Some have considered the cross-court smash as Lee's favourite shot despite its difficulty to execute. Lin, on the other hand, is famed for his patience, tactical awareness in adjusting to his opponents' style of play, sudden unleashing of huge and especially heavy attacks, sliding defence and all-round court play. Over the years, with the decline of fellow legend Taufik Hidayat and Danish great Peter Gade, Lee and Lin continuously adjusted their game to better suit the playing styles of each other, having already reached a level far beyond everyone else and thus began cementing their duopoly which lasted around a decade. During this time, they often swatted other competitors aside before engaging one another in major tournament finals. This continued until the emergence of eventual 2-time world champion and 2016 Olympic champion Chen Long and 2017 world champion Viktor Axelsen as Lin and Lee entered their 30s.
In their homeland, each hold a military rank, with Lee a Commander (Honorary) of the Royal Malaysian Navy Volunteer Reserve unit and Lin a retired Lieutenant colonel in the People's Liberation Army Sports branch, having been promoted from the ranks of Lieutenant commander and Major respectively, meaning they have the same seniority in terms of military rank. In 2015, Lin Dan announced he was to leave the PLA's Bayi Badminton Club after a 20-year service due to strict military protocols prohibiting him from partaking in any commercial activities.
They have contested in many major tournament finals and are currently the only two badminton men singles players who have contested in two Olympic finals consecutively, which saw Lin triumph both times to become the only man in history to defend his Olympic gold. Lin first won in Beijing 2008 in a one-sided final before the 2 men clashed once again 4 years later in an unprecedented but widely anticipated repeat final at London 2012. This time around, the match was much closer with Lee drawing first blood before Lin hit back to take the match to a decider. The game swung back and forth with 13 ties, the last one 19-19. Lin Dan then took the next 2 points to win his second Olympic gold. As Lin celebrated, Lee remained motionless and teared up before his coaches consoled him to leave the court. While some people questioned Lee's mental strength at critical matches afterward, such notion was not supported by match results. For example, five times during the Lee-Lin rivalry, the match went to 3 games and was decided by only 2 points in the final game. Lee led Lin 3-2 in such extremely tight contests, the last such match came during their colossal 2016 Summer Olympics semi-final, which Lee won the decider with a score of 22-20.
They have also contested two BWF World Championships finals, one Asian Games final and semi-final, similarly in the Badminton Asia Championships and four All England Open Badminton Championships finals where almost all matches were very close hard-fought three-setters. Their 2011 World Badminton Championship match widely touted as one of the greatest badminton matches of all the time. In the semi-finals of the 2016 Rio Olympics, a match widely touted to be the de facto final for possibly the last Olympic Games of both athletes' careers, Lee Chong Wei won against Lin Dan in his third try on the Olympic stage and became the second shuttler in any discipline of the sport in history to reach 3 consecutive finals after Fu Haifeng who had achieved the feat a day earlier in men doubles. Despite the immense pressure Lee must be feeling in the decider match with the score tied at 20-20, he successfully took the next two points to notch one of his biggest wins against Lin Dan and sank to his knees in celebration. Videos uploaded onto social media captured the overwhelming and emotional response from Malaysians watching throughout the country, further cementing Lee's megastar and hero status in his home country. The two players then exchanged a special moment in their rivalry and exchanged shirts as they exited the court.
Early on in their career, whenever Lin and Lee were to play one another, fans were extremely hostile towards their opposite number, often trading barbs, insults and even expletives. Occasionally, Lee had to remind fans that Lin was a personal friend of his and hoped that his fans would change their attitude towards his arch-rival. Over time, hostility became admiration, hatred became respect as fans realised that what they were witnessing was a once in a generation great sporting rivalry of the highest level and began cheering for both players, most evidently when they played in Malaysia and China. Most evidently, when Lee returned from his 8-month doping suspension to represent Malaysia in the 2015 Sudirman Cup held in Dongguan, China, he was given a rousing ovation when announced onto court to take on Lee Dong-keun. This prompted commentator, Gillian Clark, to quip, "Listen to the crowd here, it isn't a Chinese player, it's Lee Chong Wei!". Lee's coach Tey Seu Bock even labelled their rivalry 'limited-edition'. However, this does not stop some hardcore fans who take every opportunity that arises to disparage Lee's accomplishments and status by comparing the two and will point out the fact that Lee, the perennial World No. 1, has never won an Olympic or world title whilst Lin has won both multiple times. Unfortunately, this usually leads to heated exchanges from both sides of supporters, especially on social media. Level-headed fans will try to calm things down by reminding that this once-in-an-era rivalry has entered its final chapter and everyone should be appreciating what the two men has showcased throughout their storied careers rather than be at loggerheads till the very end. Over the years, both Lee and Lin mentioned numerous times in interviews that they would never have become what they are without the other as their motivation. Nevertheless, the pair are good friends off court, having invited one another to each other's weddings and sharing a mutual love for fast cars and watches. Among the cars that Lee is known to own or have owned include a blue Lamborghini Huracán, blue Range Rover Sport, blue BMW M5, crystal grey Bentley Continental GT, a white Audi R8, a white Ferrari F430, a grey Nissan Skyline GTR, Range Rover Evoque, Range Rover, yellow Lamborghini Aventador and a BMW X6 besides the cars given to him by national automaker Proton, mostly bearing the car plate number of 6, including a 'BMW 6' currently registered to his M5. Lin, on the other hand, has a Porsche Panamera, a grey Aston Martin DBS and also a black Nissan Skyline GTR among his vast collection of supercars.
Most fans and professionals regard Lee Chong Wei and Lin Dan as among the finest shuttlers the sport has ever seen, becoming huge crowd attractions and their battles dubbed the 'Lin-Lee War'. Hence, it is widely believed that they will eventually take their place in the uppermost echelon of badminton folklore alongside legends from the yesteryears such as Wong Peng Soon, Sir George Thomas, Eddy Choong, Erland Kops, Han Jian, Rudy Hartono, Liem Swie King, Zhao Jianhua, Morten Frost and perhaps the greatest in the history of the sport, Yang Yang, who are among the handful who have reached the peak of badminton, and inducted into the Badminton Hall of Fame as well when they hang up their racquets for good.

Relationship
Although Lin was often criticised for his brashness and arrogance on the court, Lee and Lin are friends on and off the court, using each other to improve on themselves. Lee attended Lin's wedding in 2012, and they partnered together for exhibition matches.
During the 2013 World Championships final, Lin checked on Lee when the latter suffered leg cramps. In the post match interview, Lin said that they are no longer the opponents they were before, and that they cherish every opportunity to play against each other.
In April 2020, on Facebook Live, Lee described Lin as a legend, adding that his titles speak for themselves and that badminton fans need to salute him for his career. He considers Lin as the greatest badminton player, and also admitted that his obsession to be better than Lin motivates him to work harder. Lee has also said that Lin has won all the major titles and does not need to prove anything else.
Cultural impact
The Lee–Lin rivalry has been hailed as the greatest rivalry in badminton and one that transformed the world of badminton. It has been credited for the resurgence of interest in badminton.
After the Rio Olympics semi-finals clash which Lee won, Lin allegedly wrote an emotional letter to Lee. The letter was revealed to be fake and written by an unnamed fan, though it was described as touching by the media.
Retirements
In 2019, Lee announced his retirement from the sport, members of the media and players alike paid tribute to him. His career-long rival, Lin has joined in and wrote on Sina Weibo that he now has to "head into battle alone, as he no longer has a companion anymore (独自上场没人陪我了)", and shared a song titled "Don't Cry, Friend" (朋友别哭).
A year later in 2020, Lin also announced his retirement, ending the rivalry of the two great badminton players and good friends. Lee has also a heartfelt tribute to Lin by posting "You were king where we fought so proudly" on Twitter.
