Critical reception
"Redemption" received positive reviews from music critics. Ovie O of NotJustOk commended Jesse Jagz for "delivering conscious dancehall music" and stated that the rapper was inspired by other Jamaican acts. A writer for OkayAfrica said the song is "anchored on an addictive clink-clank beat and swerving synth melody, which Jesse Jagz expertly rides and molds into a hip-hop-meets-dancehall gem." Alex Amos of Onobello considers Jesse Jagz to be "the truth" and said the record "expresses his confidence in the path that he has chosen." A writer for Pulse Nigeria commended Jesse Jagz's rastafarian delivery and said he started his imprint in style.

Paik Gahuim
|
Paik Gahuim (; born July 26, 1974) is a modern South Korean writer known for his disturbing stories.
Life
Paik Gahuim was born July 26, 1974, in Iksan, Jeollanam-do, South Korea. Baek Ga-heum debuted in 2001 when his short story “Flounder” was the winning entry in the Seoul Shinmun’s spring literary contest.
Work
Paik's work often makes readers feel uncomfortable, as in the case of his debut story which begins with a detailed description of filleting a flounder and then progresses to a portrayal of the narrator having intercourse with a girl from a hostess bar while imagining the inside of his mother’s womb. “When the Pear Blossoms Fade” describes the shocking abuse of children and the handicapped. In “Welcome, Baby” a young child watches a middle-aged couple have intercourse from inside a motel room closet, an infant without eyes or ears is abandoned, and a man tries to hang himself from a fan. In “Here Comes Cricket,” an aged mother who is beaten by her own son plans to end both their lives through joint suicide and “Dress Shoes” features a father who kills his entire family and then takes his own life. Although these ruthless stories fill readers with much discomfort, they are not too far-fetched, for the newspapers, television, and the Internet are full of stories like these. Baek Ga-heum's “The Tomb of a Ship” describes blood-curdling crime in a small port town. The return of a
photo criminal past the statute of limitations to his hometown results in vengeful violence and murder, a subversion of dichotomy between good and evil.
Paik's characters tend to the neglected and marginalized—those who are both socially and economically on the bottom rung of society: prostitutes, itinerant manual laborers, sailors running from the law, the mentally and physically handicapped, the elderly homeless living in condemned buildings, and women who are physically and sexually abused. A great number of these characters suffer from speech disorders or lack the mental capacity to recognize the gravity of the situation; the few who do realize their dire circumstances are without the proper education to articulate themselves.

Shōzō Tanaka
|
was a Japanese politician and social activist, and is considered to be Japan's first conservationist. Tanaka was politically active in the Meiji Restoration and leader in the Freedom and Popular Rights Movement. In Japan's first general election of 1890, he was elected to the House of Representatives as a member of the Rikken Kaishintō, a liberal political party. He is most well known for his advocacy of rural residents around the Watarase River whose health and livelihoods were negatively effected by pollution from the Ashio Copper Mine in the 1880s. Tanaka also contributed to philosophical thought on nature in the early Meiji era.
Early life
Tanaka was born in the Watarase River Basin. He was raised by his father, the headman of Konaka Village and principal of the Jōrenji Temple school in present-day Sano, Tochigi. Tanaka struggled with reading and writing in school, however, he excelled in aural memorization. For example he had the Confucian Analects and Mencius committed to memory. He was an apt farmer and engaged in some entrepreneurial farming projects during his youth. His community came to know Tanaka for his steadfast sense of judgement and responsibility. In 1857, Tanaka's father was promoted to superintendent of the eight villages that made up the domain. Even at the age of 17, Tanaka's village was happy to elect him as headman in his father's place, where he served for twelve years.
Political activism
Tanaka participated in the Freedom and Popular Rights Movement through his position as headman in the village of Kanaka.
The end of the Tokugawa era saw major changes in Japanese economic system, which allowed for a national market, domestic trade, and the commercialization of agriculture. Such changes created a stratified lower class, with village elites (Gono). Headmen like Tanaka were at the top tier of this newly stratified peasant class. As a headman, Tanaka rose up and challenged the feudal system made up of shogun government controlling the domain which encompassed his village. One of the only ways of doing this was through petition, which, Tanaka dedicated himself to at the risk his own life. In 1890, Gono took over local prefectural assemblies. These assemblies pushed against the oligarchical government and made demands on behalf of the peasant class they represented. The government halfway relented to these demands; however, it came at the expense of the Freedom and Popular Rights Movement. Although it took 10 years, successes of the prefectural assemblies eventually included a constitution from the emperor and an elected body.
In May 1868, Tanaka was imprisoned for challenging a higher-ranking official. Tanaka submitted a petition which called for the official’s arrest for the embezzlement of government money. In prison, Tanaka was tortured. He was forced to maintain to stress positions for extensive periods of time and survived for 30 days by licking a stick of dried bonito. Tanaka was convicted of, "...disturbing the peace of the Fief, betraying the trust of his position (as Headman of Kanaka), plotting in a nefarious manner and submitting presumptuous petitions...". He was released from prison in 1869.
After being released from prison, Tanaka taught in a small shrine. He studied with Oda Takizaburō in Tokyo before leaving for Iwate Prefecture. In 1870, Tanaka was arrested in relation to the murder of a man named Kimura. A biography about Tanaka Shozo, Ox Against the Storm by Kenneth Strong, contends that the blame shifted upon Tanaka was wrongful and likely due to his isolated position as an "...ex-peasant, with no samurai connections to protect him..." Kimura's son was eventually cross-examined and asserted that he had seen the killer before he left and that it could not have been Tanaka. He was placed in Iwate prison where he studied Jean Jacques Rousseau’s (1712–78) Du Contrat Social (1762) and Samuel Smiles’s (1812–1904) Self-Help (1859). He was released in April 1874.
In 1879, he founded the Tochigi Shimbun (or Tochigi News), a periodical in which he discussed human rights and contemporary issues.
Tanaka became a member of the Tochigi Prefectural Assembly in 1880, and served as its Chairman in 1886.
In the General Election of 1890, the first ever held in Japan, Tanaka was elected to the House of Representatives as a member of the Rikken Kaishintō, a liberal political party.
In 1902, Tanaka engaged in a political battle against the second Pollution Prevention Committee, which was an attempt to shift the blame of contamination from the Ashio Copper Mine incident to the movement of the river, "...they had concluded that only amounts of soluble copper were still reaching the rivers from the mine, committee held that the cause of current suffering was not mining, but flooding that agitated the polluted mud, allowing the embedded insoluble copper to escape and cause damage." The second Pollution Prevention Committee adopted a zero tolerance policy on flooding, asserting that the Watarase and Tone Valleys, historically Japan's most fertile agriculture zones, were ill suited to agriculture and required massive reengineering to make the river system flood-proof. This schema nationalized rivers and required a village called Yanaka to be demolished to make way for a flood control reservoir. Tanaka moved to Yanaka and protested these measures. He did so through a philosophical discourse portending the ineffectuality and hostility of such measures. See philosophy section for more. This was Tanaka's final political campaign before death.
Ashio Copper Mine activism
Tanaka is known for his anti-pollution activism and often referenced as Japan's first conservationist.
Tanaka is best known for his advocacy in connection with the pollution caused by waste from the Ashio Copper Mine owned by Furukawa Ichibei. The events resulting from the mine's industrial waste are considered to be Japan's first experience with industrial scale pollution and the birth of Japan's environmental movement. Tanaka's early political efforts in 1891-1892 involved questioning the inviolability of property rights versus the public rights in article 27 of the Meiji Constitution.
In the mid-1880s, people located on the watersheds near the mine, such as Watarase and Tone watersheds, began to observe and experience negative effects of the industrial pollution from the mine, such as dying fish populations, poor harvests, and ill health. In 1890, a large flood carried poisonous wastes from the mine into surrounding areas. The effects on the communities and industries in the area were deleterious, “Copper, arsenic, mercury and a host of other pollutants from the Ashio mine located at the headwaters of the Watarase river entered the river and destroyed significant agricultural, fishing and artisanal (silk, indigo) industries in the watershed.” In 1891, after having been elected to the National Diet via Japan’s first parliamentary elections, Tanaka gave a famous speech questioning why the Meiji government had not suspended Ashio's operations based on the Meiji Constitution’s guarantees of individual property rights.
An activist uprising consisting of farmers, fishing households, soil scientists, Tokyo intellectuals, nationalists, anarchists, Christian socialists, and early Marxists developed against the environmental pollution caused by the mine. Tanaka was at the center of the farmers movement and also a member of the Diet. In 1891, Tanaka raised questions in the Diet as to the cause of the damage. Some historians assert that the National Diet had financial ties to the Ashio Copper Mine. In Trends on Ecology in Japan since 17th Century, author Ui Jun states, “... [the government's response to the Ashio Copper Mine was] not clear and superficial, because high-ranked officers had the vested interest with the mine, and copper was strategic important export product.”
In 1900, villagers in the valley of the Watarase River, downstream from the mine, planned a mass protest in Tokyo, but were rebuffed by government troops and forced to disperse.
In 1901, Tanaka resigned from the Diet. At 11:20 on the morning of 10 Dec 1901, Tanaka attempted to perform a jikiso, “...an illegal, out-of-channels direct appeal to the sovereign punishable by death.” As an act of sacrifice, he attempted to deliver a petition written by himself and radical journalist Kotoku Shusui, directly to Emperor Meiji, who was returning to his residence from the 17th session of the Diet. He was arrested, placed in jail for the night, evaluated for mental stability, and then released. Newspapers ran editorials and front page news stories about the “Jikiso Scandal” the following day.
One success of this activism was the 1897 Third Mine Pollution Prevention Order. The order directed Furukawa, owner of the mine, to make mitigation efforts to control erosion and prevent waste from getting into the Watarase River.
In 1911, the Diet passed the Factory Law, requiring factory inspectors to conduct pollution control. This law was Japan's first law to address industrial pollution; however, Tanaka was unsatisfied with the little impact the law made by the laws weak wording.
Philosophy
Tanaka was a leader in a larger movement re-conceptualizing nature during the Meiji period. His activism associated with the Ashio Copper Mine touches on the Freedom and People's Rights Movement's ideologies of Natural Rights and Utilitarianism, ultimately leading to the development of environmental politics in Japan.
Tanaka’s political activism against the 1896 River Law led to the development of his ecological philosophy and terminology; poison (Doku) and flow (Nagare). This philosophy is described by Robert Stolz as an "...ecological theory of society based on the twin processes of nature..." In relation to the 1896 River Law, which sought to remake the Kanto Plain, Doku represented the unnatural damming of the river and the inevitable build-up of poisons in the watershed, while Nagare represented the natural way of things. Through his ideas on river flow, Tanaka predicted real engineering problems the dam would face. Tanaka believed his philosophy to be applicable, not only to nature, but to social and political situations as well.
Tanaka further developed his environmental philosophy upon moving to Yanaka, where he pioneered the philosophy of Yanakagaku (Yanaka studies). "Yanakagaku was meant to be a method of living in harmony with nature’s flows." According to Yanakagaku thought, the Japanese state's construction of dams and sluices inhibits the natural flow of the river, thereby increasing Doku. He studied ecology with the Tochigi water control research group by walking and surveying the river catchment. He died on tour of this practice.
Later life
Tanaka was a supporter of local autonomy and the primacy of agriculture. He spent the rest of his life developing a unique environmental philosophy and encouraging villagers to protest against various environmentally harmful construction projects. After leaving the Diet, he lived in Yanaka village, now a district of the city of Sano, until his death by stomach cancer in 1913. At the time of his death, Tanaka was penniless. His last possessions were an unfinished manuscript, a book of the New Testament, handkerchief paper, river nori, three pebbles, three diaries, a bound copy of the Meiji Constitution, and the Gospel of Matthew in a cloth bag.

Schultz's rule is a rule developed by Adolph Hans Schultz, declaring a relationship between the first tooth eruption of the molar versus the permanent teeth and the progress or aging of its carrier. It states that species that live longer have more wear on deciduous teeth and as a result start replacing them relatively early in life. Which is an indicator for examining fossil data. According to research, Myotragus balearicus follows Schultz's Rule.

M. E. Blanton House
|
The M. E. Blanton House is a two-and-a-half-story Craftsman style historic building in the community of Aloha in the U.S. state of Oregon. Built in 1912, it is situated along Southwest 170th Avenue less than a block south of Tualatin Valley Highway. The interior of the house is of the Arts and Crafts style. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989 and is used as a law office.
History
The land where Blanton House sits was first owned by Portland butcher Arthur Johnson. Starting in 1857 he began buying land west of Portland and eventually ended up with over that his estate sold in 1909 to the Merchants Savings and Trust. In 1907, the Southern Pacific Railroad started service in the area, which was converted to an electric interurban line in 1914, and had a station at Huber.
The bank sold the land it had acquired from the estate to William A. Shaw, a partner in the Shaw-Fear Company. Shaw-Fear was a local real estate development firm, and Mr. M. E. Blanton was a road grader for Shaw-Fear. Blanton purchased the lot where the house stands in 1911, and the next year a -story home was built on the property along what was Huber Road, today's 170th Avenue, and what became Blanton Street.
Blanton's employer developed the area and donated five lots to build a school, with Blanton grading the road through what was then the community of Huber. Tualatin Valley Highway was built in 1918 adjacent to the railroad. In 1922, Blanton sold his house to the Avondale Farm Company, with the property going through several ownership changes during the next thirteen years before Leonard H. and Alice M. Place bought it in 1935. The Places owned the home until 1949, and it was later used as a group home for drug and alcohol dependency. In 1929, the interurban railroad ceased service. Blanton house was turned into a commercial office in 1987. On March 2, 1989, the house was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
In 1989, attorney Lauren J. Paulson purchased the property and restored it. Washington County decided in 1999 to widen 170th Avenue, which would eliminate much of the yard and cause the removal of two arched entrance ways along with several trees. After a year of proposals, the project was approved in April 2001 despite neighbors objecting to the project, including Paulson. Paulson even filed an appeal with the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals, but it was rejected in September 2001. As of 2013, the building was used as the law office for Paulson.
Architecture
Blanton House has with seven bedrooms over storeys, plus a full basement. There is also a matching pump house and small pool on the grounds. The pool was the only pool in Aloha. When the property was listed on the NRHP it also had decorative entrances to the property consisting of two archways, but those were removed due to a road widening project.
The exterior is of the Craftsman style with horizontal lap siding and a hip roof. There are gables with truss ornaments and dormers in several places, plus a brick endwall on the south side. The building has two porches, and at the time of listing on the NRHP it had leaded, double-hung sash windows. Inside, the style is Arts and Crafts, which includes dark woodwork throughout. The first floor includes a living room, dining room, den, kitchen, foyer, and a small bathroom. The second and third floors consist of seven bedrooms and one bathroom, while the basement is unfinished. There are also a variety of pieces of built-in wood-furniture, such as a bench.

Teletruth
|
Teletruth is an early United States television series. It is notable as an early example of a television game show for kids, though it was not a network series. It aired on New York City station WNBT from 1945 to either 1946 or 1947. It was originally hosted by Pat Barnes. Jay Marshall later took over the hosting job.
Critical response
The October 20, 1945 edition of Billboard magazine gave the series a mixed review, saying of the series "Tele-truth, despite its corny name, is the first video quiz this department has seen so far which was 100 per cent visual and perhaps 85 per cent entertaining", but also said that "Teletruth could be improved considerably if a few things were done to it".
A later review in Billboard reported that a magician's hands were not fast enough, so that sometimes "it was obvious just what he was doing." The review also found fault with the camera work and noted that "questions must still be within the kid scope and plenty of them weren't this evening."
Episode status
Practical/viable methods to record live television did not exist during the run of the series. As such, it is most likely lost today, except possibly for still photographs.

Kwon Yeo-sun
|
Kwon Yeo-sun (born 1965) is a South Korean writer.
Life
Kwon Yeo-sun was born in Andong, North Gyeongsang Province of South Korea in 1965. Kwon enjoyed a brilliant literary debut in 1996 when her novel Niche of Green was awarded the Sangsang Literary Award. At the time, novels that reflected on the period of the democratization movement in South Korea, were prevalent.
Work
Kwon's work is often unconventional in form and topic and for that reason she sometimes has a reputation for being difficult to read
Kwon's first work Niche of Green was one of the most outstanding coming-of-age novels to emerge from the South Korean publishing world of the 1990s. Eight years after the publication of Niche of Green, Kwon published a short story collection called Maiden’s Skirt. This collection, a book that Kwon professes felt like publishing a love letter to herself, is about defeated individuals who, though troubled by their tragic fates, come to a place of resigned acceptance. The characters in this collection generally consist of people who are handicapped by relationships that society does not accept, such as extramarital affairs and gay relationships. Unable to overcome this sense of handicap, the characters witness their love collapse. In Kwon's second short story collection The Days of Pink Ribbon, the characters are often people who have failed rather than succeeded. They are generally people with defects in their character or physique. In Kwon's work, characters do not fail because of exterior causes but because of their own shortcomings or due to bad fate.
Her novel, told through interconnected short stories, Lemon, was expanded from her 2016 short story "You Do Not Know". It was her first work translated into English, with Janet Hong as the translator and the translation released in 2021.

Silas Taylor
|
Silas Taylor (16 July 1624–4 November 1678) was an English army officer of the Parliamentarian forces, known also as an antiquary and musical composer.
Life
The son of Silvanus Taylor, a parliamentary committee-man for Herefordshire and supporter of Oliver Cromwell, he was born at Harley, near Much Wenlock, Shropshire, on 16 July 1624. Anthony Wood calls him Domville or D'omville by surname, but it is not clear that Taylor ever used that name himself. After Shrewsbury School, he entered New Inn Hall, Oxford, at the beginning of 1641.
Taylor left Oxford to join the parliamentary army, in which he bore a captain's commission under Edward Massey. After the First English Civil War he became, by his father's influence, a sequestrator in Herefordshire. Initially the position was joint with Captain Benjamin Mason; after a sharp quarrel over the details of distraining money, and the accounts, Taylor emerged as the sole holder of the office. He was accommodating to the local gentry.
At the Restoration of 1660, Taylor had to rely on patronage. Sir Edward Harley, appointed governor of Dunkirk in June of that year, took Taylor with him in the capacity of commissary for ammunition. He returned to London in 1663, out of work for nearly two years. Sir Paul Neile with others found him the keepership of naval stores at Harwich. He held the post until his death, which took place on 4 November 1678 at age 54. He was buried in the chancel of Harwich Church.
Collector
Under the Commonwealth Taylor had access to the cathedral libraries of Hereford and Worcester for manuscripts; from the latter he copied an original grant of King Edgar dated 964, printed in John Selden's Mare Clausum. Allegations of the time that he misappropriated the contents on a large scale are now rejected.
Taylor left his collections for a history of Herefordshire at Brampton Bryan, the seat of Sir Edward Harley in the county; some went to the Harleian collection. His collections relating to Harwich fell into the hands of Samuel Dale, by whom they were published under the title of The History and Antiquities of Harwich and Dovercourt, … first collected by Silas Taylor alias Domville … and now much enlarged … in all its parts, with notes and observations relating to Natural History … by Samuel Dale, London, 1730 (second edition) 1732. The manuscript had been previously made use of by Edmund Gibson for his edition of William Camden's Britannia, by Richard Newcourt for Repertorium Ecclesiasticum, and by Thomas Cox for Magna Britannia. John Duncumb later used it for his Collections towards the History and Antiquities of the County of Hereford (1804).
Taylor died in debt, and his remaining collections were sold by his creditors.
Works
The only work Taylor published under his own name was The History of Gavel-Kind, with the etymology thereof … With some observations upon many … occurrences of British and English History. To which is added a short history of William the Conqueror, written in Latin by an anonymous author, i. 2 pts. London, 1663; the Latin tract had been passed to Taylor from the Bodleian Library by Thomas Barlow. He dated gavelkind to an earlier period than William Somner. Magnus Imposter was an anonymous attack on Richard Delamaine the younger. Taylor, his father and John Tombes took against Delamaine for religious and personal reasons, and some linked to the local politics of the quarrel with Benjamin Mason and Wroth Rogers.
Taylor left a manuscript play with Samuel Pepys for his opinion. He knew musicians: the Playfords, Henry Purcell the elder, and Matthew Locke. Two of his own compositions were published in John Playford's Court Ayres, London, 1655. Pepys heard an anthem of Taylor's performed in the Chapel Royal.

The Incandescent Ones
|
The Incandescent Ones is a science fiction novel by British astrophysicist Fred Hoyle and his son Geoffrey Hoyle. It was first published in 1977. The novel describes the eventful epic journey of the narrator, which seems to begin as a story of Cold War espionage but, involving life forces beyond Earth, finally leads to Jupiter.
Plot summary
The story is set in a future time where, after civilization decayed because of fuel shortage, the Outlanders came to Earth and provided energy from power beams, one to each of the political blocs; there is world peace because of the threat to cut off the power to either the Eastern or Western Bloc.
Peter, the narrator of the story, lives in Idaho, USA; he is a student of Byzantine art and a part-time ski instructor. His father Anaxagoras, known as Alex, was a grandson of a Russian priest; Alex taught Peter to ski; he disappeared in the mountains while skiing, presumed dead, when Peter was fifteen. Peter arranges to spend a year at a Moscow university; before going, he finds he is being recruited as a spy. In Moscow, after a sequence of planned encounters, he acquires instructions for a journey to Georgia; on the way he is instructed to cross into Turkey by ski via a mountain pass.
In the snow in the mountains of Georgia he meets his father Alex. They continue the journey; during a break Alex heats food with a battery, a source of power which he says would last billions of years. He says that he and Peter are Outlanders; there are two batteries, the one which was in America having been already removed from Earth after humans realized they could be independent of the power beams, which would threaten world peace; the remaining battery must be sent back. Alex says he will not go with him; that Peter is to go over the pass, where he will meet someone he recognizes. Telling Peter to leave and return, he turns up the battery's power and there is a huge explosion which produces a crater and melts the surrounding snow. At the centre of the crater Peter retrieves the battery and continues his journey.
After a difficult crossing of the pass, he finds a mountain hut and meets Edelstam, a physicist whom he once taught to ski back in Idaho; he must be the man Alex mentioned, and presumably an Outlander. He says that the explosion was to make the world powers think the battery was destroyed, and to delay matters with fear of radiation. To cause a diversion, Peter is to continue with a substitute pack instead of the battery, which Edelstam takes away.
In Turkey, Peter is picked up by local people in a truck; there is an explosion, seemingly caused by his replacement pack, and he later finds himself in hospital in Erzerum. Trying to leave the hospital, he is picked up outside and driven to a house in Ankara where he is interrogated by Russians. After eventually giving a muddled account of his contacts, he is given an injection which is meant to kill him; however he is revived and rescued from a coffin by another Outlander, who takes him to a farm to recover. Peter realizes that each Outlander has a particular function.
Peter is taken to a house where there is a gathering of upper-class people, some of whom he supposes are Outlanders; the host receives him as an expert on Byzantine art. He talks to another guest and realizes he is to go to Mars to take part in an energy conference.
From the Outlander space terminal in Anatolia he travels with other conference delegates to Mars; however on arrival he is unexpectedly transferred to another spaceship destined for Jupiter. On this second voyage Peter is accompanied by a Yorkshireman who plays cards extremely well but who seems unable to answer any of his questions. At the end of the journey Peter finds himself in a strange hall close to Jupiter itself.
The hall is empty except for the physicist Edelstam, who has the battery. He says that he himself is not an Outlander, but is there to learn. He says that Outlanders are like robots, each with a speciality; the real power, says Edelstam, is with the Incandescent Ones, who have been around longer than mankind; they operate the power beams, and they control the Outlanders "through ideas in the mind; ideas appear which seem spontaneous, but which are not really so." Peter is different from other Outlanders, "more complex, more all purpose, more given to responding to events as they arise." The Outlanders Peter met regarded him as their boss.
They see on a wall of the room an image of a skier on Jupiter, which seems to be a message from the Incandescent Ones. In a space suit and equipped with the two batteries (one on each ski), Peter skis on Jupiter towards a ball of light; arriving, he realizes he has come home.
Technical details
The battery
In the mountain hut in Georgia, Edelstam tells Peter that he has a notion of how the battery works, although the details are beyond him. He compares it to an ordinary battery, in which there are changes in how atoms fit themselves into molecules; in the Outlanders' battery he thinks the reconfiguration happens not amongst atoms, but in the nucleus of atoms, which has constituent particles and perhaps an unknown fine structure within that. Such reconfiguration would have the power of an H-bomb, which somehow is tightly controlled in the battery.
The battery has no visible controls; Peter was unable to operate it. Edelstam, talking to Peter near Jupiter, speculates that Alex's specialty as an Outlander was to be able to send signals to the battery.
The power beams
There are two power beams, which originate in the region of Jupiter and are directed towards the Sun. They are out of the plane of Jupiter's orbit so that they are never intercepted by another planet or asteroid; they are reflected to Earth, one directed to the Eastern Bloc and one to the West. Nuclear research is forbidden on Earth, in order to ensure reliance on the power beams.

Anthony Morgan of Kilfigin
|
Sir Anthony Morgan (died 1665) of Kilfigin, Monmouthshire, was a Royalist officer during the English Civil War.
Biography
Morgan was the son of Sir William Morgan of Tredegar, Monmouthshire, and Bridget, daughter and heiress of Anthony Morgan of Heyford, Northamptonshire. He seems identical with the Anthony Morgan who was appointed by the Spanish ambassador Cardenas on 9 June 1640 to levy and transport the residue of the two thousand soldiers afforded to him by King Charles I.
On 21 October 1642 Morgan was knighted by Charles at Southam, Warwickshire, and two days later fought at the Battle of Edgehill. By the death of his half-brother, Colonel Thomas Morgan, who was killed at the Battle of Newbury 20 September 1643, he became possessed of the manors of Heyford and Clasthorpe, Northamptonshire; he had other property in Monmouthshire, Warwickshire, and Westmoreland. He subsequently went abroad, but returned in 1648, when, though his estates were sequestered by the parliament by an ordinance dated 5 January 1646, he imprisoned several of his tenants in Banbury Castle for not paying their rent to him.
Morgan tried to compound for his property in May 1650, and took the covenant and negative oath, but being represented as a "papist delinquent", he was unable to make terms with the Committee for Compounding with Delinquents. In August 1658 he obtained leave to pay a visit to France.
One Anthony Morgan was ordered to be arrested and brought before Secretary Bennet on 5 June 1663, and his papers were seized (ib. 1663-4, p. 163). He died in St. Giles-in-the-Fields, London, in about June of 1665 (Probate Act Book, P. C. C., 1665), leaving by his wife Elizabeth (? Fromond) an only daughter, Mary. In his will (P. C. C., 64, Hyde) he describes himself as of Kilfigin, Monmouthshire.
The family tree for the Morgan Family of Heyford found on p199 of A history of the Church of St. Peter, Northampton, together with the Chapels of Kingsthorpe and Upton (by Serjeantson, R. M., found online at archive.org ) corroborates the family information. There is an error in the tree, however, as the Peter Fermor (c1637-16 Dec 1691) named in the tree states in his will that he married Mary the daughter of Sir Anthony Morgan (not his sister).

Sarhad Rural Support Programme
|
The Sarhad Rural Support Programme (SRSP) is the largest non-governmental organization working to alleviate poverty in North West Pakistan. It was established in 1989 with the aim of reducing poverty and ensuring sustainable means of livelihood in what is now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. SRSP is part of the Rural Support Programmes (RSP's) initiated by United Nations Environment Programme Global 500 Award winner Shoaib Sultan Khan. It is now the largest regional RSP, with extensive outreach into communities. In recent years because of its vast outreach, SRSP has had to play a prominent role in disasters that have hit Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. As a result, humanitarian work along with development has become a core competency of the organization.
Formation
SRSP began it operations in 1989. It was established by members of the civil society, members of the government in their individual capacities, and members of the academia, media and training institutions. SRSP was created to replicate the Rural Support Programmes approach from the province now called Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
Approach
SRSP's framework is based on the Rural Support Programmes (RSP's) approach to community empowerment, and economic and livelihood development. At the heart of this approach is the belief that marginalized communities and disadvantaged people have within them the capacity for self-help. Pakistan’s Rural Support Program (RSP) movement pioneered bottom-up, community-driven development using a flexible, autonomous, politically neutral approach, which has been replicated successfully across PakistanPakistan as well as in India and Bangladesh.
Programmes
SRSP specialises in social mobilisation, gender and development, community infrastructure, education, micro-finance, micro-enterprise development, governance, conflict resolution, humanitarian assistance, and human resource development.
SRSP’s wide array of programmes includes support for developing/sustaining/advancing:
Community physical infrastructure
Renewable energy
Community investment/livelihoods funds, microcredit, village banks
Social sector services
Human resource development
Enterprise and value chain development
Development and humanitarian programmes
Legal empowerment
Education
Health care
Achievements
Since its inception, SRSP has emerged as the largest non-government, non-profit organization in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It works in 22 out of 25 districts in the province. In 2007 it also initiated a programme for community empowerment and economic development in parts of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA).
SRSP has organized over 21,000 Community Organizations, covering 500,000 households; one third of the members being women. It has established over 7,000 small-scale infrastructure schemes worth PKR 32.6 billion benefiting a population of more than 10 million. Its major community infrastructure schemes include drinking water supply schemes, farm to market link roads and bridges, sanitation schemes, irrigation channels, micro-hydels, mini dams and rehabilitation of schools. SRSP has also installed more than 180 micro hydro power plants across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, with production capacities ranging from 20 kilo-watts to 2 mega-watts.
SRSP has played a significant role in leveraging resources and providing humanitarian assistance to disasters affected communities in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and its contribution has been acknowledged by the Federal and Provincial Government. During the earthquake of 2005, it helped rebuilt 62,000 houses in one of the biggest community driven housing programmes, funded by the Pakistan Poverty Alleviation Programme (PPAF). In addition to this, 40 public, public-private and community-based schools were reconstructed enabling over 5000 children to return to school. Following the IDP crisis in Pakistan of 2009 and the Pakistan floods of 2010, SRSP emerged as one of the largest implementing partners for United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), reaching out to over 3.5 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDP's). SRSP has reached out to over 263,000 families with its flood response projects and programmes.
SRSP, has remained one of the main partners of the government in the health sector and ran 570 basic health units (BHUs) throughout the province in 17 districts.

Il disco volante
|
Il disco volante is a 1964 Italian comic science fiction film with mockumentary elements directed by Tinto Brass and starring Alberto Sordi. The film features the renowned comedian in four distinct roles as a dim-witted Carabinieri brigadiere, a cheesepairing accountant, a decadent count, and an alcoholic priest. Involving characters from different social strata, Il disco volante is effectively a satire of the Italian society, particularly the people of Brass's adopted home region Veneto.
Plot
The sergeant of the Carabinieri of a Venetian village is charged with carrying out investigations on the arrival of a UFO of extraterrestrial origin. During the investigation he finds himself questioning a group of people who claim to have actually seen the Martians. In truth, only Vittoria, a poor widowed peasant with numerous children, manages to get hold of a Martian, which she sells to her effeminate master. His mother, however, suppresses the Martian, accuses the peasant woman of fraud and sends her son to an asylum. Here, sooner or later, other characters involved in the story will also arrive, most recently the sergeant himself, because they are all considered visionaries. The sensational event is therefore soon buried in general indifference.

Convoy ON 92
|
Convoy ON 92 was a trade convoy of merchant ships during the Second World War. It was the 92nd of the numbered series of ON convoys Outbound from the British Isles to North America. The ships departed from Liverpool on 6 May 1942 and were joined on 7 May by Mid-Ocean Escort Force Group A-3.
The convoy was discovered by Wolfpack Hecht on 11 May; seven ships were sunk before the U-boats lost contact with the convoy on 13 May. Surviving ships reached Halifax, Nova Scotia on 21 May.
Prelude
ON 92 was a west-bound convoy of 42 ships, either in ballast or carrying trade goods, and sailed from Liverpool on 6 May 1942 bound for ports in North America. The convoy commodore was Capt. R Gill in Southern Princess.
It was escorted by mid-ocean escort group A-3, comprising the United States Navy destroyer (Capt. J Heffernan as Senior Officer Escort), the United States Coast Guard cutter , and four Royal Canadian Navy corvettes , , and . The convoy was supported by a rescue ship, the North Sea packet . Two of the merchant ships were equipped as CAM ships, with a catapult-launched Hurricane fighter as temporary air cover. Heffernan had a background in destroyers and anti-submarine warfare but was inexperienced in convoy protection, as was his group. Only Bittersweet had the new 10 cm radar, and only the rescue ship Bury had HF/DF.
ON 92's passage was barred by the patrol group "Hecht", comprising six Type VII U-boats. Of these two commanders were experienced Knight's Cross holders, while the others were on their first Atlantic patrol.
Action
After making rendezvous with its ocean escort ON 92 proceeded west, following along the great circle route to reduce distance. However German intelligence (B-Dienst) was aware of its passage, and U-boat Command (BdU) was able to send group "Hecht" in pursuit.
On the morning of 11 May made contact and began to shadow. Its transmissions were detected by Bury, which was confirmed by the Admiralty that afternoon but Heffernan made no response until 1700, when he led Gleaves and Spencer in a wide sweep around the convoy. At 1749 Gleaves sighted a U-boat ahead and both proceeded to attack, continuing until after midnight. Meanwhile two more U-boats were in contact, and , both commanded by Knights Cross holders. After sunset the commodore ordered evasive maneuvers, but without success, and at 2300 U-124 attacked, sinking Empire Dell and damaging Llanover. A second attack by U-124 hit Mount Parnes and Cristales, while U-94 hit Cocles. Algoma sighted one and counter-attacked but with no success. At this point Gleaves and Spencer rejoined the convoy and no more attacks developed. Arvida and Shediac were able to pick up survivors, with Bury.
On 12 May the three U-boats in contact were joined by three more "Hecht" boats, , and , and all six continued to shadow. At 1300 Heffernan again detached Gleaves and Spencer in a sweep around the convoy; at 1943 Spencer sighted two U-boats northwest of the convoy, and engaged with gunfire, while at the same time Gleaves made a sonar contact southeast and again began an anti-submarine hunt.
At 2253 the U-boats around the convoy attacked again, U-94 hitting Batna. She was counter-attacked by Bittersweet, but escaped. Both ships with both firing star shell, which brought Gleaves and Spencer back to the convoy. At 0310 on 13 May U-94 had a final success, hitting Tolken, but was driven off by defensive gunfire from the merchant. At this point foul weather closed in and the pack lost contact.
No further attacks developed and on 13 May Bury, with 178 survivors on board, was detached to St Johns, escorted by Arvida. The convoy was joined by units of Western Local Escort Force on 17 May and made port at Halifax on 21 May.
Aftermath
ON 92 lost seven ships of a total of 42 that set out. The Admiralty and Western Approaches Command (WAC) were unimpressed with Heffernan's performance, particularly as he described it in his report as a success, commenting "all escorts are entitled to credit for a highly satisfactory performance." WAC disagreed, feeling the group had "failed lamentably" in its defence of ON 92. The commodores report sums up the episode by commenting "Gleaves was never there when ON 92 was attacked." After this Heffernan was moved to other duties, with leadership of A-3 being passed to USCG commander P Heineman of the cutter .
BdU had reason to be pleased with the sinking of seven merchant ships from the convoy, although this was the only successful attack on any North Atlantic convoy in the month of May. It was also noticeable that the only success fell to the two experienced commanders; the other four "Hecht" skippers achieved nothing.

Chae Ho-ki
|
Chae Ho-ki (Hangul: 채호기; born 13 October 1957) is a modern South Korean poet.
Life
Chae Ho-ki was born on October 13, 1957, in Daegu, South Korea and published his first poem in 1988 and since that time has been considered by South Korean critics as one of the major voices in Korean literature.
Work
If a desire for emotional union with the subject matter can be described as a general characteristic of Korean poetry, Chae departs radically from such a tendency to seek instead the complete obliteration of the boundary between the subject and the language in his poetry. His first volume of poetry, Ferocious Love, rejects love as an idea and an emotional state and focuses on its physicality and mortality:
Desire itself is objectified and given a physicality in "The Sad Gay", in which a gay man transforms himself into another being through the mechanical process of replacing body parts:
Chae's most successful attempt to create a oneness with another is judged to be his Water Lilies. In this volume of poetry, language acts as a corrosive agent that melts away the external shape of things to reveal their true essence by means of which a perfect union with others is achieved.

Anthony Morgan (politician)
|
Sir Anthony Morgan (1621–1668) was an English Royalist politician and soldier. In the English Civil War he was first a Royalist captain and then in 1646 changed sides and joined the Parliamentary army. He was a captain in Ireton's horse (cavalry) in Ireland in 1649 and had risen to the rank of major by 1662. He was a Member of Parliament for the Irish constituency of Wicklow and Kildare in the parliaments of 1654 to 1658, and represented the Irish constituency of Meath and Louth in 1659. The Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell knighted him in 1656 and after the Restoration, he was also knighted by King Charles II in 1660. He was a commissioner of the English auxiliaries in France and an original member of the Royal Society in 1663.
Biography
Morgan was born in 1621, son of Anthony Morgan, D.D., rector of Cottesbrook, Northamptonshire, fellow of Magdalen College, and principal of Alban Hall 1614-1620. The elder branches of the family were seated in Monmouthshire, where they possessed considerable influence. Anthony matriculated at Oxford from Magdalen Hall on 4 November 1636, was demy of Magdalen College from 1640 until 1646, and graduated B.A. on 6 July 1641.
Upon the outbreak of the First English Civil War he at first bore arms for the king, and was made a captain. The prospect of having his estate sequestered proved, however, little to his liking. He therefore, in March 1645, sent up his wife to inform the Committee of Both Kingdoms that he and Sir Trevor Williams undertook to deliver Monmouthshire and Glamorgan into Parliament's hands if they received adequate support. He also hinted that he ought to be rewarded by the command of a regiment of horse (cavalry). Colonel (afterwards Sir Edward) Massey was instructed to give him all necessary aid. By January 1646 he had performed his task with such conspicuous success that Sir Thomas Fairfax was directed to give him a command in his army until a regiment could be found for him in Wales, and on 3 November following the order from the House of Lords for taking off his sequestration was agreed to by the House of Commons.
Morgan, an able, cultured man, soon won the friendship of Fairfax. By Fairfax's recommendation he was created M.D. at Oxford on 8 May 1647. On 8 October 1648 Fairfax wrote to the Speaker William Lenthall, asking the Commons to pass the ordinance from the Lords for indemnifying Morgan for anything done by him in relation to the war, and on 27 October he wrote again, strongly recommending Morgan for service in Ireland. Both his requests were granted, and Morgan became captain in Ireton's regiment of horse. Various grievances existed at the time in the regiment, and the officers, knowing that Morgan could rely on the favour of Fairfax, asked him to forward a petition to the general. He took up his command in Ireland about 1649.
In 1651 Parliament granted him leave to stay in London for a few weeks to prosecute some chancery suits upon presenting a certificate that he had taken the engagement in Ireland; and in 1652, upon his petition, they declared him capable of serving the Commonwealth, notwithstanding his former delinquency. By then He was a major.
In the First (1654) and Second Protectorate parliaments Morgan represented the counties of Kildare and Wicklow, and in Third (1659) Meath and Louth. He became a great favourite with lord-deputy Henry Cromwell, and when in town corresponded with him frequently. In July 1656 on being sent over specially to inform the Protector of the state of Ireland, he was knighted at Whitehall. The next year Henry Cromwell requested him to assist Sir Timothy Tyrrell in arranging for the purchase of Archbishop Ussher's library.
At the Restoration Charles II knighted him, 19 November 1660, and appointed him commissioner of the English auxiliaries in the French army. When the Royal Society was instituted Morgan was elected an original fellow, 20 May 1663, and often served on the council. Pepys, who dined with him at Lord Brouncker's in March 1668, thought him a "very wise man". He died in France between 3 September and 24 November 1668. Owing to political differences he lived on bad terms with his wife Elizabeth, who, being a staunch republican, objected to her husband turning loyalist.

Robert Torto
|
Robert Torto is a Ghanaian hate criminal who murdered two Asian men, Khizar Hayat and Hamidullah Hamidi, in the London district of Kennington in 2006. He was described as the "Son of God killer" in the media, having claimed to be the Son of God during a court-hearing before his trial. His victims died of burns and smoke inhalation after he threw a petrol bomb into the shop in which they worked. Witnesses described him "laughing" as he ran from the scene.
Crimes
Torto, who suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and had a "history of assault", set out to target Hindus, Muslims and other communities in London. His first attack was on a newsagent in Tulse Hill on 14 April 2006. He threw a petrol bomb into the shop and caused serious burns to a customer, who later required skin grafts to his legs. Four days later, he attacked an off licence in South Norwood, leaving the owner with severe burns. Finally, on 27 April, he fire-bombed a food-and-wine shop in Kennington. Of the four people then on the premises, two were able to escape by running through the flames, although they suffered burns as they did so. However, staff-members Khizar Hayat and Hamidullah Hamidi were trapped because the rear door of the shop was locked. They suffered burns and smoke inhalation before the fire brigade was able to reach them. Hayat was declared dead on arrival at hospital, Hamidi died five days later on May 2.
Arrest and trial
Witnesses had seen Torto "laughing" as he ran from the scene of the arson. Using their description, the police examined CCTV footage and saw Torto leaving the scene in a green Ford Cougar, which he had also used for his two previous attacks. The car was placed under surveillance and Torto was arrested leaving his home in Stockwell. The police searched his home and found a handwritten list of targets, which included gay clubs, hospitals where sex changes were performed, prostitutes and members of all non-Christian religions, including Muslims, Hindus and pagans. Torto refused to explain why he had carried out his hate-crimes and did not express remorse for the deaths and injuries he had caused. Detective Chief Inspector David Garwood, who had led the investigation, said:
"Robert Torto clearly had a mission in mind and that was to attack people from a number of different communities with crude yet dangerous homemade accelerant devices. ... I am convinced that had Torto remained undetected he would have attacked again, which may have resulted in the further loss of life." The judge at the trial, Peter Beaumont, ordered Torto to be detained indefinitely under the Mental Health Act. He was sent to Broadmoor Hospital, a high-security hospital for the criminally insane.
Psychiatric history
Torto had a long history of involvement with police and mental services. In 1996, he confronted two Asian men, threatening them with a handgun and hitting one in the stomach. He was jailed for eighteen months for assault. In 1998, he twice targeted a supermarket, first telling the owner he would set him on fire, then saying he would blow up the premises. He was jailed for three months for using threatening words and behaviour and common assault. After release, Torto was examined by psychiatrists and prescribed anti-psychotic medication, but he failed to keep his appointments and was assessed again by psychiatrists in February 2001. He claimed he could influence the Ghanaian government and wanted the United Nations to ban sin. He was given a place at a psychiatric unit in March 2001, where he received compulsory medication, but after a month he "managed to fool doctors into letting him out". He seems to have had no further contact with psychiatric services until his arrest for double-murder in 2006. At a pre-trial hearing, he claimed to be the "Son of God".

Patten (musician)
|
Patten (stylised in lowercase) is the pseudonym of London-based electronic experimental musician and audiovisual artist Damien Roach.
Music
Patten began as an electronic music project by Roach under the pseudonym D. While running a record label called Kaleidoscope, he had released music on CD-Rs since 2006.
The first official Patten LP Glaqjo Xaacsso was released in September 2011 through the UK label No Pain in Pop.
In November 2013 Roach signed to Warp Records, releasing the Eolian Instate EP soon after in an edition of 500 12" picture discs, with artwork by frequent visual collaborator Jane Eastlight (revealed in 2022 via social media by patten to be another pseudonym).
February 2014 saw the release of the first LP for Warp, entitled Estoile Naiant. In addition to the LP, 2014 saw Roach release a number of free remixes of music by other artists on his website, called re-edits.
In the summer of 2014, Roach began to organise musical events at Power Lunches under the moniker 555-5555. The lineups featured sets from artists such as Logos, Karen Gwyer, Slackk, SFV Acid, Darkstar, Visionist, Fotomachine and Max Tundra.
In collaboration with Hisham Bharoocha, Patten contributed to Doug Aitken's "Station to Station" project, recording an EP of new music created from found sound and improvised percussion onsite at the Barbican Centre.
Furthermore, Patten has created several remixes for artists like Giorgio Moroder and Björk.
In September 2016, Patten's third album Ψ was released with the vocals of a member known as A featuring across the record.
In May 2017, Patten released Requiem, a four track digital-only EP, launched with a live audiovisual show at London's Institute of Contemporary Arts.
September 2019 saw the album Flex released on Patten's 555-5555 imprint, followed by a run of live audiovisual concerts and DJ sets across Europe.
In 2020 three Patten albums appeared in quick succession, starting with the beatless album Glow released in July during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. This was followed in August by Glo))), a heavy metal-inspired alternative version of the previous album. Aegis, the third album of 2020 was released in October, featuring ten tracks of experimental techno.
Fact magazine published a mini-documentary on Patten's history in August 2020.
Two EPs followed, Burner in 2021 with the track "Eat Smoke" (featuring Antipop Consortium's Beans (rapper)), and 2022's Desire Path EP, making Bleep's Tracks Of The Year with the track "Kiss U".
In January 2023, Patten announced Mirage FM, an album made using text-to-audio AI samples, due for release on April 14, 2023, via 555-5555.
Other projects
In November 2017, the 555-5555 agency created a commissioned line of apparel for Dummy magazine.
In June 2018, Roach created an online discussion forum, also named 555-5555.
Roach has created several audiovisual installations. In January 2018 a Patten installation titled 3049 premiered at Tenderpixel gallery in London. The audiovisual installation "CB-MMXVIII (I’ve been thinking of giving sleeping lessons)" was commissioned and exhibited in December 2018 by Somerset House in London for the Claire Catterall curated exhibition Good Grief, on the enduring influence of Charles Schulz and Peanuts.
In 2022, Roach was commissioned by Flat Time House to compose a soundtrack for Boyle Family's 1960s film Beyond Image. The soundtrack was exhibited in a group exhibition called "Gone Fishing", alongside works by John Latham, Marlie Mul, and Boyle Family. The soundtrack was performed live by Patten at Peckham Audio in the summer of 2022.
Making creative direction and design under the moniker 555-5555 since 2015, Roach has made numerous projects including the visual world behind Dan Snaith’s Jiaolong label and Daphni releases, the visual identity and design for Nathan Fake's Blizzards album, and the live visual show for Caribou's Suddenly album tour.

Palaiya Jumma Palli
|
Palaiya Jumma Palli () or Meen Kadai Palli is a mosque in Kilakarai, Tamil Nadu, India. Built in 628–630 AD, it is believed to be one of the oldest mosques in the world and along with Cheraman Juma Masjid in Kodungallur, Kerala and Barwada Mosque in Ghogha, Gujarat, the first mosque in India. It has an Islamic heritage of more than 1000 years. It is located in Kilakarai, an ancient port town in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu known for its Islamic culture. It was built in 628–630 AD and was re-constructed in 1036. The mosque, along with the others in the town, is one of the greatest examples of Dravidian Islam architecture.
History and construction
Constructed by the Yemeni merchants and trade settlers of the pre-Islamic period in Pandiya kingdom ordered by Baadhan (Bazan ibn Sasan) Governor of Yemen at the time of Prophet Muhammad, after they accepted Islam in 625–628 AD at the time of Kavadh II son of Khosrau II (king of Persia). This mosque was rebuilt in the 11th century after saheed war. It is one of the oldest mosques of India. Bazan Ibn Sasan, Tamim Ibn zayd al ansari, Ibnu Batutah, Nagoor Abdul Cadir, Ervadi Ibrahim Sahib, Sultan of Ottoman Murad and other most famous Islamic scholars visited the mosque and Ibn Battuta said in his travel notes "the people there lived as though they were in the Arab land".
Structure
The mosque architecture looks like a temple architecture, but does not have any idol carving on the pillars or walls. There is the Mihrab on the wall of inner Masjid which is unique identification of mosques for identifying the direction of prayer towards kaaba, mihrab of this mosque was exactly towards kaaba it's also proof of early navigation system followed here. the name 'pallavasal' means worship place with many door access, which is the tamil name of the mosque.

Association for the Urban Mobility on Bicycle
|
The Association for Urban Mobility on Bicycle (in Portuguese Associação pela Mobilidade Urbana em Bicicleta, known by its acronym MUBi) is a Portuguese cyclists association that aims to promote the bicycle and other active means of transportation in urban areas, as well as sustainable mobility. MUBi was legally established on the 22nd of June, 2009. It has influenced and worked with the parliamentarians for the revision of the traffic code in Portugal that took place in 2013, in order to make it more respectful to more vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians and cyclists. MUBi has also kickstarted a movement called "Friday by Bike" (Sexta de Bicicleta, in Portuguese), with the goal to encourage new users to use the bicycle at least once per week on their daily errands.
MUBi is also a full member of the European Cyclists' Federation and also supports the Critical Mass cycling event.

William Butler (physician)
|
William Butler (1535–29 January 1618) was an English academic and physician. A Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge, he gained a reputation as an eccentric, a drunkard, and "the greatest physician of his time".
Life
Butler was born at Ipswich in Suffolk and matriculated as a sizar at Peterhouse, Cambridge, in 1558 (BA 1561, MA 1564, Fellow 1561). In 1572 he was elected a Fellow of Clare Hall, Cambridge (later Clare College), and granted a licence to practise physic by the university.
According to the 17th-century antiquary John Aubrey, he lived at an apothecary's shop at Cambridge with a servant, an "old mayd" named Nell whose job it was to fetch him home each night from a tavern.
He first came to notice, Aubrey writes, in 1603 when he revived a local clergyman from an opium-induced coma by the unorthodox method of slaughtering a cow and placing the senseless parson inside the "cowes warme belly".
Although he had no medical degree, Butler was appointed a court physician by King James VI and I and attended the King's eldest son Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, during his fatal illness of November 1612. Butler is believed to have been neither a Galenist nor a Paracelsian, but rather an "empiric" physician, who based his treatments not on any theory but purely on reasoning and experience. He opposed the common practice of blood-letting (phlebotomy or venesection) and the then novel use of dangerous chemical remedies.
Some of Butler's papers are preserved at Clare College and show that he sometimes gave medical advice by letter. One begins with a reference to King Henry VIII:
"Moste honest and righte honorable Thomas, in the time of Graunde Harrye that vaste and Rumbleduste Gyaunte, that had better skill of a Butcher’s axe, then of a secretaries penne, (though he once confuted Luther) it fortuned that a Laureate poëte of his Courte fell Sike and departed his life." Another begins with a reference to a patient's drinking habits: "My lord, potton & Reelingworthe towne are not farre a sondere. The nearest way ys by tipplestall Grannge, whyche will brynge yowe to staggerington, and so to downfall in the vale."
Butler is credited with inventing a medicinal drink, Dr Butler’s purging ale, that was popular in 17th-century England. Shortly before his death he bequeathed £26 to Clare College for the purchase of "finest gold," from which a chalice and a paten were made.
According to a contemporary inscription on an engraved portrait titled "Guilielmus Butler Cantabrig. Huius Aetatis Princeps Medicorum. Anno 1620", Butler died in 1617 at the age of 83. The epitaph below it reads:
When now the Fates ’gan wonder that their thrids
Were so oft tied againe, halfe cut i’ th’ mids,
And Charon wanting his us’d Naulum sware,
He now a days did want of many a fare.
They all conspire, and found, at last, that it
Was skillfull Butler, who mens lives could knit.
All most untried, they kill’d him, and yet fear’d
That he from death by death would ghosts have rear’d.
Butler is buried in the chancel of the Church of St Mary the Great, Cambridge, where he has a monument and a Latin funerary plaque. He also has a pub sign in the City of London, The Old Doctor Butler's Head.

Heteronychus arator
|
Heteronychus arator (hetero+onychus = 'variable claw', arator = 'ploughman') is a species of beetle in the subfamily Dynastinae (the rhinoceros beetles). It is commonly called African black beetle or black lawn beetle. It is native to Africa and it is an introduced species in Australia, Norfolk Island and the North Island of New Zealand.
Morphology
It is a shiny black (or dark reddish brown) oval-shaped beetle 12-15 millimeters long. The head lacks a carina or tubercles, unlike some other scarabs. The clypeus is truncate with distinct lateral margins, and dentate with a denticle in the middle. Each mandible has 2-3 teeth on the outer edge and is visible when looking at the beetle from above. Each antenna is 10-segmented and ends in a 3-segmented club. On the underside of the head is a mentum with a rounded apex. Each eye is partially split by a glabrous (smooth) ocular canthus. The pronotum is smooth, convex and lacks punctures. The elytra have rows of shallow striae. The propygidium (dorsal plate of the second-last abdominal segment) has a pair of stridulatory bands. The hind legs have tibiae with truncate apices. All legs end in simple tarsal claws.
Diet
Adults feed on stems of plants at or just below ground level, while larvae feed on organic matter and roots in soil. This species may damage lawns and other turf, especially during the summer, as well as many crop plants, garden flowers, trees and shrubs. It prefers some plants over others: larvae gain more weight when feeding on ryegrass than on white clover or lotus.
Diseases
This species is infected by a small RNA virus. This virus develops in the cytoplasm of gut and fat body cells. It can also infect larvae of greater wax moth (Galleria mellonella) and some other insects, but cannot infect mice.

Connolly Mill
|
Connolly's Grist and Saw Mills were formerly located at East Point, Georgia.
Joseph Connolly migrated from his native Ireland to Dekalb County in the mid-1830s. He settled lands that were ceded by the Creek (Muscogian) Indians to Georgia in 1821. The local government known as Fulton County was created out of part of DeKalb County in 1853. Mr. Connolly established two mills along the tributaries of Utoy Creek. The first was a grist mill on the Connolly family plantation farm that supplied local farmers with the means to grind dried corn into meal and grits. This mill was mentioned in the reports of Lowery's Confederate Brigade. Major General Patrick Cleburne's Infantry Division of Hardees Confederate Army Corps was posted along a ridge adjacent to the mill.
The saw mill was built three-quarters of a mile away from the grist mill, on the main branch of South Utoy Creek—now the middle of GA Hwy 166. The large millpond supported the local lumber business. During the American Civil War, this millpond was noted as an obstacle to the US (Union) Forces of the XXIII Army Corps, Hascall's division, who attempted to break the line near the Connolly Grist Mill on August 18, 1864. The local Hopewell Church was destroyed by Union Army artillery fire during this engagement as the spire was used to aim at the opposing line.
The two mills were in operation until 1910–1911, when the discovery that malaria was carried by mosquitoes led to the draining of the millponds by the US Army. Flash floods had destroyed the Connolly Grist Mill on three previous occasions.
A third Connolly mill was established on a smaller tributary of Utoy Creek, adjacent to the current Headland Road in the "Frog Hollar" community. It was also destroyed by a flash flood and never rebuilt.

Orseolia oryzae
|
Orseolia oryzae, also called the Asian rice gall midge, is a species of small fly in the family Cecidomyiidae. It is a major insect pest of rice. The damage to the crop is done by the larvae which form galls commonly known as "silver shoots" or "onion shoots". The rice plant is stunted and the seed heads fail to develop.
History
In 1890, an unidentified insect was found to be attacking the rice crop in Munger district of Bihar, in India. The English zoologist James Wood-Mason identified the insect as a midge, called it Cecidomyia oryzae, and wrote about it in the American Naturalist, but did not formally describe it. The original outbreak faded away, but another occurred in Mysore in 1901, and others followed. By 1922, the rice crop in Tonkin Province in northern Vietnam was devastated and in 1936, crops in Indonesia were being attacked. It was the Indian entomologist M.S. Mani who in 1934 formally described the insect, retaining the name given it by Wood-Mason, because this was already widely known. In 1941 the midge was reported to be damaging crops in China and in 1946, it was reported from Sudan. In 1951, the Chinese researchers Li and Chiu worked out its life history. Even so, until the next decade it was a minor pest. Suddenly with the Green Revolution came higher yielding but more susceptible varieties, and ever since then O. oryzae has been among the top four insect pests (overall, not just in rice) in South and Southeast Asia and China.
Description
The Asian rice gall midge is a fly about the size of a mosquito. The females are about long, bright red, with broad abdomens and dense short hair, while the males are slightly smaller, yellowish-brown and more slender. O. oryzae and O. oryzivora are morphologically, and even microscopically, indistinguishable, and so DNA differentiation methods have been developed.
Distribution
It is a major insect pest of rice in Southern and Southeast Asia. The pest is distributed in various regions of India, Asia, and other neighboring countries and farmers face many problems due to the monetary loss caused by this insect pest. It is also found in rice-growing regions of Africa.
Life cycle
The adults are mainly nocturnal and hide during the day. The females lay small batches of eggs (two to six) on the undersides of rice leaves, totalling 100-400 in a lifespan. The eggs are red at first, but by the time they hatch, two to four days later, they are chocolate-brown. The tiny larvae crawl down the leaf sheath till they reach the leaf axil where they bore their way into the stem. After feeding for about ten days and forming a gall, they pupate inside. Four to seven days later they use spines on the tip of the abdomen to make a hole in the gall near its tip. Here the adult insects emerge. They live for three or four days, and there may be as many as eight generations of midge in the year.
Hosts
Oryza sativa, Cynodon dactylon, and Isachne aristatum. Scientific investigation of O. sativa resistance against O. oryzae began in India in 1948, and O. oryzae virulence against these O. sativa cultivars was first observed in 1969.
Damage
The larvae of the Asian rice gall midge irritate the tissues of the rice plant which forms a gall commonly known as a "silver shoot" or "onion shoot". This is a pale cylindrical, hollow tube with a green tip replacing the normal culm (stem). The gall is formed from the walls of the leaf sheath growing together, after which the culm stops developing. The stem is stunted and the seed-head does not develop. When the adult insects emerge, the gall withers away and the shoot dies. The plant may respond by producing more tillers, but these usually become infected in their turn. The disease may be localised and patchy or widespread throughout the crop.

Choe Jeongrye
|
Choe Jeongrye () (1955 – 16 January 2021) was a modern South Korean poet.
Life
Choe Jeongrye was born in 1955 in Hwaseong, Gyeonggi-do. She graduated with a doctorate degree in Korean poetry from Korea University. She participated in the (International Writing Program) (IWP) as a poet at University of Iowa in 2006 and stayed one year at University of California, Berkeley as a visiting writer in 2009. Her poems have been printed in Free Verse: A Journal of Contemporary Poetry & Poets, Iowa Review, Text Journal, World Literature Today, and various Korean and Japanese literary magazines. An English-language collection, Instances (which she co-translated), was published in 2011. Choe was a lecturer at Korea University.
She died in 2021 from cerebral hemorrhage after having been diagnosed a year earlier with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, a rare blood disease.
Work
Many of Choe's poems were about time and memory. She typically used fragments of time and memory as tools for looking into others and the world, or for identifying herself. What ultimately emerged from her exploration of fragmented memories and chaos of time was the sense of emptiness and loneliness: the core of existence.
Choe's poetic language was straightforward and condensed. She used simple language, subverting plain words to make them unfamiliar and strange. In Instances, her work is described as having:
"... a quality of imagination in her work that is still a rare thing in poetry—despite the opening up of form, content, and linguistic exploration that current innovative poetry has given us in the last few decades. Choi uses the image less for description than as enactment — almost as if the residue of the phantom in the poet’s brain were an action in itself — of reality."
"Choi’s images are what might be termed “surreal,” but they are also “magical realism,” and at times quite abstract. ... Her style of image-making has odd wit and sweep; she makes the memory a layered reality that speaks to the current poetic moment. Her reality is a braid of metaphor, memory, intellect, and feeling. ... Images can be quite radical—and the dazzle of Jeongrye’s work can remind American readers about the mental variety and hopes for art brought from Modernism."
Choe received several awards for her writing, including the Baekseok Literature Prize, Midang Literary Award, and Ojangwhan Literature Prize.

Nand Lal
|
Master Nand Lal (Hindi: मास्टर नंद लाल; 1 January 1887 – 17 April 1959), also referred to as Nanadlal of Jaranwala, was an Indian freedom fighter, politician and a member of the Constituent Assembly of India from East Punjab.
Early life
Nand Lal was born in 1887 and was the only son of his father Shri Kala Ram and mother Shrimati Rami Bai. He had a sister who was 6–7 years younger than him. Shri Kala Ram worked as a petition writer in the Fazilka and Firozpur districts of Punjab, India, and died in 1899 when Nand was 12 years old.
After his father's death, Shrimati Rami Bai, Nand's mother, took care of Nand and ensured a comfortable upbringing for her two children. Nand passed his 10th grade exams from KGC Hindu High School in Jhang, Pakistan, in 1904, following which he was appointed as a clerk in the Deputy Commissioner's Office at Lyallpur where his uncle was already working in the revenue department. However, Nand resigned from the post soon after, due to the corruption taking place there. He started preparing for the post of petition writer at Shahpur. He passed that exam, becoming a petitions writer and started his work in the town of Bhalwal.
Acting career
Nand Lal was always keen on drama and theatre, performing the role of the character Kanut in a drama During his fifth standard in school. Always enthusiastic to take part in political and religious dramas, he later wrote the Ramayan in a drama form and organized a play on the same on navratras and Dussehra festivals. Along with performing the role of Dashrath in the play, he was the director of those plays, earning the moniker "Master Ji".
In 1909, Lala Banke, a well-known freedom fighter and editor of the newspaper Jhang Sayal, came into contact with Master Ji in Jhang. This incident proved to be a turning point in his life.
Political life
In 1911, he moved from Bhalwal to Jaranwala in the district of Lyallpur, where he started working as a petition writer, and began considering seriously his political ideologies. In 1919, he went to Haridwar with some of his friends, and came across, Kana Bali, a female leader, giving a public lecture in support of Gandhi's call against the Rowlatt Act. This had a great impact on Master Ji's mind, who was so impressed that he fasted on her appeal.
Subsequently, he witnessed Anti-Rowlatt Act protests gaining ground, mass hartals and non-violent satyagrahas, and this period of his life proved a milestone in shaping his political ideology as well his intent to participate in the National Movement actively.
After returning home to Jaranwala from Haridwar he organized a public meeting to chalk out a political programme. Public processions, strikes and satyagraha methods were followed, including boycotting foreign cloth in favor of Khadi in support of the ongoing Non-Cooperation Movement. When Martial Law was proclaimed in Punjab against protestors, Master Ji was arrested in April 1919 and sentenced to 18 months of Rigorous Imprisonment. He was released early in January 1920 on grounds of general amnesty.
During the Nagpur Session of the Indian National Congress in December 1920, some crucial changes were made in its organizational setup, following which the first Congress Committee was formed at Jaranwala of which Master Nand Lal became the General Secretary. Subsequently, he became a member of the Punjab Congress Committee, and General Secretary to the District Congress Committee as well. Later, he also served as the District Congress Committee's President for about three years. He remained a member of the All India Congress Committee from 1925 to 1957.
In the coming years, he partook in all major National Congress-led struggles including protesting against the Simon Commission, the Civil Disobedience Movement and mobilized local public opinion through frequent meetings and processions. He was also highly active in taking up local issues and grievances. He was arrested in 1930 after he led a "jatha" (procession) in defiance of the Salt Act during the Civil Disobedience Movement.
Master Ji was present at the historic AICC meeting at Bombay, where the Quit India Resolution was passed on 8 August 1942. He was arrested upon his return on 14 August and remained at Multan and Sialkot jails for the next three years. A few months after his release he was again arrested in July 1945 for defying restrictions and continuing political activity.
Between 1919 and 1947, Master Nand Lal was imprisoned for nearly 11 years in various jails at Lahore, Multan, Sialkot, Dera Ghazi Khan, Ferozepur, Rawalpindi, etc.
Election to the Constituent Assembly
During the partition, Master Ji, along with his family, moved to India in September 1947, in order to avoid the riots in Jaranwala, and settled at Panipat in November.
Master Ji initially lived with a Muslim family, Panipat still being home to a number of them. A "Basau committee" was formed to help the incoming refugees, and Master Nand Lal was appointed as its President. He also contributed, among other things, by helping bring the Model Town and Industrial Area Schemes to Panipat.
Following the advice and support of some close friends and political leaders, Master Nand Lal applied for the reserved seats in the Constituent Assembly for the Hindu community. He was one of the two candidates elected by the Provincial Legislative Assembly and became a member in March 1948, and subsequently of the Provisional Parliament until 1952.
Later political life
He stood for the first General Election of the country in 1951-52, defeating Jan Sangh candidate, Dr. Gokul Chand Narang, vice-president of the All India Hindu Mahasabha, and became the first MLA from Karnal. He did not participate in 1957 elections due to failing health and old age. Nevertheless, he helped organize the election campaign with the Congress candidate, winning by a wide margin. Lal died on 17 April 1959.

The Hippocratic Crush II
|
The Hippocratic Crush II, also known by its Chinese title On Call 36 Hours II (Chinese: On Call 36小時 II) is a 2013 Hong Kong television medical drama series produced by Poon Ka-tak and TVB. The drama follows the lives of young housemen, residents, and their mentors working in Mercy Hospital (慈愛醫院), a fictional hospital set in Hong Kong.
Synopsis
The Hippocratic Crush II (a.k.a. On Call 36 Hours II) immediately follows off from The Hippocratic Crush (a.k.a. On Call 36 Hours), following the lives of doctors, new and old, facing the patients and challenges that unfold before them.
Cheung Yat Kin (Kenneth Ma) and Fan Chi Yu (Tavia Yeung) are now happily married to each other but life ahead is not easy for them. They have to face new obstacles together if they are to keep their relationship growing strong. Chi Yu finds herself pregnant but her intramedullary spinal cord tumour relapsed to which makes her unfit to continue with the pregnancy. However, she insists on carrying on with the pregnancy and this causes certain disputes between the couple. Though this does not mean that Yat Kin loves Chi Yu any less; he just can’t bear watching her suffer so he offers to carry some of her burdens.
Chi Yu’s illness causes her to eventually relent to getting an abortion, as well as making her incompetent to perform surgery on patients. This is a huge blow to her as well as Yat Kin. His mother also falls sick which added pressure on him, causing him to develop an anxiety disorder and stomach ulcer from chronic indomethacin (Motrin) use. However, with Yat Kin by her side, Chi Yu isn’t ready to give up yet; she wants to help Yat Kin to stand strong again. So she decides to switch afresh, switching from cardiology to pathology, learning under the disciplinary of Man Sang who helps her to regain her strength. In addition, Chi Yu (Yu Jai) believes that she could remain a pathologist if she were later required to use a wheelchair.
Yat Kin finds it difficult to accept the new challenges in his life, however, as he watches his friends and fellow subordinates, Mei Suet and Pui Chung grow to become independent, capable and experienced doctors, he learns that he must first protect himself before he can protect others. Will he be able to do this and protect those whom he loves and cares about? What is the true meaning behind being a doctor? It is merely about saving about patients? What about the doctors themselves?
The challenges that he has to face with Chi Yu on top of his stubborn personality takes a toll on his relationship with newly transferred pathology specialist, Lok Man Sang (Lawrence Ng). The two are constantly at each other’s throat with differing opinions and their approach with medicine which creates further tension between the two doctors. Lokman gets involved with fellow internal medicine doctor, Heung Chin Yi (Tracy Chu), who happens to be twenty years younger than him.
Man Sang and Chin Yi have a very different view of love. Lokman is a widowed man with a young daughter Yannis (Elkie Chong) while Chin Yi is left having to take care of her runaway (later revealed as deceased) boyfriend's son. Through mutual understanding and hardships, the two grow to love each other despite their age difference. Chin Yi was looking for her boyfriend, who was hired by Monica to do renovation work on Lokman's cafe and was with Monica when he died in a traffic accident in mainland China. Chin Yi was also the school classmate of the daughter of Neurosurgery Chief Dr. Lam, Che Che (played by Eliza Sam).
Lokman and David grew up together and with Monica (never shown) run a cafe. Lokman has CML leukemia. David suddenly needs brain surgery. David enters in a relationship with Yannis' aunt/defacto step-mother.
Meanwhile, Chi Yu’s sister, neurosurgeon Hong Mei Suet (Mandy Wong) also has her own challenges to face as she finally becomes a doctor in her own right. However, that is not the only challenge in her life. Her relationship with her orthopaedic surgeon boyfriend Lau Ping Chan (Benjamin Yuen) heads on the rocks as their relationship turns into a love triangle.
Fresh Cardiosurgeon, Yeung Pui Chung (Him Law) undergoes his own journey to become a better doctor. As his career picks up, he finds himself in a love triangle with his crush in Australia Ching Ching (Candy Chang, who appears in cameo), training doctor Chung Tsz Ting (Crystal Li) and Che Hiu Tung (Eliza Sam), 26 year old a social worker volunteer, who suffers from a chronic illness, brainstem glioma, partially resected at age 16 with a life expectancy of 3 to 10 years. Che Che (Che Hiu Tung) was a school classmate of Heung Chin Yi (played by Tracy Chu) and daughter of Dr. Lam, the chief of Neurosurgery and Dr. Cheung Yat Kin's boss. Che Che eventually develops symptoms of brainstem glioma growth, including double vision and facial paralysis.

Neriene montana
|
Neriene montana (syn. Linyphia montana) is a species of spider belonging to the family Linyphiidae. With a holarctic distribution, it is found throughout northern Europe.
The body length excluding legs is about 4 to 7 mm in both sexes, males having a slimmer abdomen. The carapace is dark brown with a darker midline and margins. The abdomen is marked with a broad brown folium with pale speckles and small indentations, surrounded by a pale area. The legs are yellow-brown with many annulations which, along with its size, help to distinguish N. montana from similar species. It builds a hammock-shaped web among bushes or low vegetation, on tree trunks, or under logs, which it rests beneath.

Peter To Rot
|
Peter To Rot (; 5 March 1912 - 7 July 1945) was a Papua New Guinea Roman Catholic. He served as a well-noted and beloved catechist in his village and was entrusted with the local parish during World War II when the Japanese occupied the region. He stood up for religious values in the face of Japanese oppression and continued to hold secret services when the Japanese restricted him from active pastoral service. To Rot valued marriage - he himself had been married since 1936 - and he was an outspoken critic of Japanese views on taking multiple wives.
His beatification was celebrated in Papua New Guinea in 1995.
Life
Education and marriage
Peter To Rot was born on 5 March 1912 on the New Pomerania island in the then-German New Guinea as the third of six children to Angelo Tu Puia (the well-respected village chief) and Maria Ia Tumul who had both converted to Roman Catholicism in 1898.
His father taught him the basics of catechism and sent him to the local mission school in 1919 despite the fact that education was not an obligation at the time. He was quite agile in climbing coconut trees and he was more than willing to do this to acquire coconuts for older villages. It was rare for him to be mischievous at school but he was honest and quick to help those in need. In 1930 the parish priest of Rakunai - Father Laufer - asked his father if he would allow To Rot to start his studies for the priesthood. His father said that the time was not right for that but it would be more than appropriate if his son studied to become a catechist. In 1930 he began his studies at Saint Paul's College of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart in Taliligap after which he was commissioned as a catechist for the parish of Rakunai in 1933 when the local bishop gave him the catechist's cross. To Rot then returned to his village where he would go on to aid Father Laufer. He was an excellent teacher and an organizer of classes for people and he had a Bible on his person at all times.
On 11 November 1936 he married Paula Ia Varpit and the couple went on to have three children; one died as an infant and another died soon after the war. His final child lived into old age and was born after To Rot's death. The pair were married in a church though some of the local and traditional customs were observed.
Catechist
Once the Japanese forces occupied the nation in March 1942 (forcing an Australian garrison out) their soldiers interned all of the foreign missionaries though remained indifferent to religion on the whole. The parish priest left To Rot in charge of his parish and he became its active leader as a result of this. In this role he cared for those who were ill and poor while also aiming to better educate converts. Towards late 1943 the Japanese authorities restricted religious services and a few months later forbade them in full. But To Rot continued to hold them in secret and did not fear the implications on his own life despite the fear of those around him. The destruction of the church a short while later saw him build a "bush church" outside the village to hold secret services; he kept records of baptisms and weddings there.
Metepa was married Christian and a policeman who worked for the Japanese; he lusted after a Protestant's wife named Ia Mentil. To Rot and Mentil's father prevented Metepa from kidnapping Mentil as his second wife and the furious officer reported him to his superior Kueka who summoned To Rot. The Japanese authorities had legalised taking a second wife but To Rot opposed this as being the opposite to doctrine. To Rot met Kueka who ordered that he cease his pastoral activities while meanwhile Metepa and another seized Mentil and beat up her husband. But To Rot and the village chief managed to find Mentil and get her back to Rakunai. This event served to augment To Rot's defense of traditional marriage with spies monitoring him to catch him in the act of piousness so as to arrest him. One couple reported him and the police arrested him after finding religious objects in a house search. He was planting vegetables to give to the Japanese when he was arrested on Christmas 1944.
To Rot was taken to the police headquarters where the chief of the police Meshida asked if he was preaching to which the catechist affirmed. Meshida beat him on the face and the back of his neck and ordered him to be imprisoned. The Methodist chief of Navunaram and the Christian Rakunai chief failed to secure his release even though he told them not to fret over it. He confided to his mother that he would die but assured her that he was more than prepared to die for Jesus Christ if that was the case; he was locked in a small and windowless cell. To Rot was sentenced to two months' imprisonment in the Vunaiara concentration camp. On one occasion his wife and two children came to visit him and she begged him to give up being a catechist so he would remain safe. But To Rot was adamant he would not relinquish his responsibilities to the people. On the date of his death he said to his mother: "the police told me that, this evening, a Japanese doctor will come to give me some medicine. Surprising since I'm not sick. I suspect this is a trick". He told his wife to bring his cross and good clothes so he could go to God dressed in proper attire.
Death
He was given lethal injection in 1945 and then given something to drink. But the guards saw that the poison was slow so made him lie down while the doctor covered his mouth; he was stricken with convulsions and was held down as he died while being struck on the back of his neck with a beam. Upon his death a policeman went to Rakunai and said: "Your catechist is dead". The incredulous chief of the village demanded to know what the officers did to To Rot but the officer said: "He fell ill and died". His uncle Taura was sent to the prison with Commander Meshida to view To Rot's remains and to take them for burial. His remains were found warm and still curled up with cotton stuffed in his ears and nose with blood and a red scarf wrapped around his neck. The back of his neck was swollen and bore wounds and a clear needle mark was present on his right arm. To Rot's remains were soon buried in Rakunai.
Commemoration
Pope Benedict XVI - in 2012 - encouraged all married couples to look to To Rot's "example of courage" and he later dispatched Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kium to participate in the celebrations at Rabaul to mark the centennial of the late catechist's birth. The pope had discussed To Rot in his "ad limina" meeting with the Papuan bishops on 9 June 2012 while the Archbishop of Rabaul Francesco Panfilo issued a pastoral letter around that time addressing the life and example of To Rot.
On 5 March 2012 the Papuan government issued a series of postage stamps in honor of the centennial of his birth.
Beatification
The beatification process began on 14 January 1986 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued the official "nihil obstat" to the cause and titled him as a Servant of God; the formal diocesan phase collecting documentation occurred in the Rabaul archdiocese from 21 January 1987 until 30 March 1989 when all documents were sealed in boxes and sent to Rome for the C.C.S. to review. The C.C.S. validated this inquest on 2 June 1989 and after received the Positio dossier from the postulation of the cause in 1991. Theologians approved the dossier's contents on 26 June 1992 as did the C.C.S. members on 1 December 1992. His beatification received approval from Pope John Paul II on 2 April 1993 after the pope confirmed that To Rot had been killed "in odium fidei" (in hatred of the faith). John Paul II beatified To Rot on 17 January 1995 while on his visit to Papua New Guinea.
The current postulator for this cause is Fr. Tomas Ravaioli.
Feast
His liturgical feast is affixed to the date of his death as is the norm. He is included in the Roman Rite liturgical calendar in his native Papua New Guinea as well as in the Solomon Islands and in Australia as well as for the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart.

Reidar Olsen
|
Reidar Brede Olsen (20 September 1910 – 1 September 1997) was a Norwegian footballer who played as a midfielder for Fredrikstad. He was capped twice for Norway. Olsen had two spells in Fredrikstad first-team squad, once in 1931 and another between 1938 and 1946, and won two Norwegian league titles and two Norwegian Cup while playing for the club. He also played bandy for Fredrikstad.
Career
Olsen was born in Fredrikstad, and made his debut for Fredrikstad FK in 1931. After an injury sidelined him, he started to play for Fredrikstad FK's bandy team. He scored two goals in the first ever bandy match played in Fredrikstad in 1935 and was a part of the Fredrikstad-team that won the district championship () in bandy in 1936.
In 1938, Olsen was back in the first-team squad of Fredrikstad's football department, and won both the 1937–38 League of Norway and the 1938 Norwegian Football Cup. Olsen was also a part of the team that won the Norwegian league during the 1938–39 season and the Norwegian Cup in 1940. In the 1940 Norwegian Cup Final against Skeid, Olsen was named as one of Fredrikstad's best players along with Gunnar Andreassen by Fredriksstad Blad.
No organized football was played between 1940 and 1945, because of the Second World War. Olsen was at that time involved in the Norwegian resistance movement Milorg. After the war was over, the Norwegian national team was meeting Denmark in a friendly match, which was dubbed "the independence match". The Football Association of Norway decided to primarily call-up players from the reigning Norwegian Cup champions, Fredrikstad. Six Fredrikstad-players started the match, and Thorleif Larsen, Bjørn Spydevold, Kjell Moe and Olsen made their international debut. Aged 34 years, 11 months, Olsen is the second oldest player ever to have made the debut for the Norwegian national time; Kjell Moe who was almost one year his senior and played in the same match being the oldest. Olsen made another appearances for the national team in the 10–0 loss against Sweden in Stockholm in October 1945.
Olsen played all three matches against Lyn, when Fredrikstad lost the 1945 Norwegian Football Cup Final. After his retirement, Olsen was head coach of Østsiden IL between 1948 and 1951, and in 1954. He was also head coach of Fredrikstad in 1963.
Personal life
Olsen's brother, Ivar, was playing as a goalkeeper when Fredrikstad won their first-ever Norwegian Cup in 1932. Reidar Olsen died in 1997.

Utoy, Georgia
|
Utoy, Georgia was a small village located along Utoy Creek in present-day Fulton County, Georgia, USA. The vicinity, now part of metropolitan Atlanta, was the scene of the August 1864 Battle of Utoy Creek during the American Civil War and is today the site of Utoy Indian Village, a tourist center with renditions of historic Native-American structures and which offers a "Civil War Battlefield Tour."
History
Aboriginal period
A branch of the Creek (Muscogian) people living on the boundary of the Chattahoochee and Cherokee lands existed since the 15th century in this area hunting local deer and farming maize, peas, squash, the polk plant and other items. They lived in wood cabins known as lodges which were filled with clay. Early settlers were taught to subsist in the Muscogian manner and to survive the winter using local herbs and plants. They were peaceful farmers who subsisted well with their neighbors.
In 1521, the vicinity was likely visited by Spanish Explorer Juan Ponce de León in his travels looking for both gold and the fountain of youth. He traveled to modern day Atlanta up the Indian Sandtown Trail, today's Cascade Road.
Colonial period
At the time of the American Revolution the Muscogee (Creek) people maintained peaceful relations with the white settlers to the south who were fighting the British Army. In return in 1789 they were granted a treaty from the United States Senate ostensibly guaranteeing the sanctity of their lands.
In 1816 a South Carolina Missionary from the Methodist Church named Gilbert ministered to the local Indians at the village of Utoy.
In 1821 the US Government forcibly moved the local Creek Indians to Oklahoma on what is referred to as the so-called Trail of Tears.
In 1822 the First US Post Office was established here the first in Dekalb at the former site of the Utoy Trading Post.
The first settlers in the Atlanta area settled here as the lands had already been cleared and were ready for immediate farming. Existing trails, taking the form today of Sandtown Road, provided a major trading path that developed trade into the new county seat of Decatur from the Chattahoochee River.
Civil War period
Full article: Battle of Utoy Creek
In 1864 the town of Utoy was visited by US Forces moving to break the railroads at East Point. August 267th 1864 the Entire US Army moved down the Fairburn Road in the vicinity of the town of Utoy en route to Shadnar Church (Red Oak) to cut the West Point Railroad bringing supplies to the Confederate Army.
Post-war years
In 1933 the postal function was moved to Adamsville (The former village of Lick Skillet, named for the "Lickskillet Pub") and the Utoy post office was closed.
In the 1950s the area became one of the most affluent suburbs of Atlanta with many prominent citizens residing here in Cascade heights. The housing boom with US Army veterans purchasing homes utilizing the VA Housing Guarantee caused great expansion of the former farmlands
In 1975 the area became predominantly African American 85% and still maintained as one of Atlanta's affluent suburbs. Former Mayor Andrew Young, Shirley Franklin, Hank Aaron and the first president of the Savannah College of Art and Design are all from the area.

Bonne Maison Aerodrome
|
La Bonne Maison Aerodrome was a temporary World War I airfield in France, located near the city of Fismes, in the Marne department, on the plateau above the village of Courville, east of the farm "La Bonne Maison".
It was built some time in early 1917, with the "Groupe de Combat no 12" arriving on 26 March, in support of the French 6th Army. It saw activity until spring 1918, and the last unit to be stationed here was Air Service 103rd Aero Squadron, 10 to 30 April. Earlier in February, the squadron had arrived from training with 3rd AIC on Issoudun Aerodrome at "La Noblette" aerodrome where the American pilots of the "Escadrille Lafayette" joined it, operating as part of the "Groupe de Combat no 21" in support of the French 4th Army.
After the start of the German Spring offensives, 103rd Aero Squadron left GC no 21 and flew to La Bonne Maison, with the French 6th Army, then moved to Flanders on 30 April with French "Détachement d'Armée du Nord" during the Battle of the Lys.
Operations
On 11 April, the squadron flew a patrol of two aircraft. During the patrol, Lt. Baer attacked a German biplane, firing 50 rounds. The enemy aircraft spun out of control and was lost in the clouds near Bouvancourt.
On 12 April, the squadron carried out four patrols, During the first patrol, Capt. Biddle attacked a German aircraft, firing about 100 rounds, causing the aircraft to spew white smoke as it fell out of the sky about 500 meters southeast of Forbury. Combat was made twice more during the day, causing the Germans to turn back to their own lines.
Due to rain, no patrols were flown until 20 April when four patrols were carried out, one of which shot down an enemy observation balloon about 18:00. Two German aircraft were also shot down during the day. Again, poor flying conditions were encountered and no patrols were flown for the next ten days.
On 30 April, with the battle ended, the squadron again moved by train to Bray-Dunes aerodrome, near Dunkerque for operations in the Flanders area with the French "Détachement d'Armée du Nord".
Subsequent use
The airfield was perhaps used by the Germans during their drive towards the river Marne in late Spring 1918, as the nearby aerodrome of "La Cense" was until the end of July, then no use is known, as the battle front quickly moved towards NE, making the airfield redundant. With the end of the war, its buildings were dismantled and the fields returned to the local farmers for agricultural use. Today not any traces of it remain.

Chaumont-sur-Aire Airdrome

Chaumont-Hill 402, was a temporary World War I airfield in France, named after the height (402 m) of its highest point. It was located East South East of the city of Chaumont, in the Haute-Marne department in the Champagne-Ardenne region of north-eastern France, between the main road and the "Ferme d'Heurtebise", west of the village of Laville aux Bois (in April 1919, French escadrille VB 101 stayed a few days on the airfield called "Laville aux Bois" in French Army archives).
Overview
The airfield was first leased by the Air Service on 11 October 1917, consisting of 89 acres. Air Service engineers constructed 12 wooden barracks and a mess hall on the site, plus five buildings to be used as warehouses and maintenance shops. A station administration building and a hospital clinic were constructed, plus an electrical grid and a telephone grid. The airfield had four French Bessonneau hangars erected.
In mid-November 1917, the facility was turned over to the First Army Air Service, which had it constructed with the help of the 91st Aero Squadron from 15 November to 14 December 1917 while training (its pilots did not arrived until February 1918, after the squadron had moved to Amanty aerodrome).
A few weeks later, the 12th Aero Squadron arrived at Chaumont, also in its ground training phase, staying from 16 January to 2 February 1918.
Chaumont Hill 402 Airdrome was selected as the Headquarters airfield for the nearby Headquarters, Air Service, AEF, which was stationed in the city of Chaumont; after February 1918, it was only occupied by a small detail of men, whose duty was to guard the Headquarters' aircraft.
The airfield was placed back into combat status in September 1918, station for the 85th Aero Squadron 30 September – 4 November 1918 (De Havilland DH-4), initially on training then being part of the Second Army Observation Group (with some French escadrilles stationed on other airfields), when the later's HQ arrived on 25 October 1918 and stayed until been demobilized on 4 November 1918.
The 1st Pursuit Wing had its HQ in Chaumont, 24 September to 17 December 1918, but most probably barracked downtown, which did not excluded liaison flying from the airfield.
After the Armistice was signed, the 99th Aero Squadron, part of the V Corps Observation Group flew from 13 December 1918 to 19 February 1919, with detachments on Prauthoy, Bourbonne-les-Bains, and Montigny-le-Roi airfields, before starting its demobilization at 1st Air Deport at Colombey-les-Belles.
The airfield was maintained for use by Headquarters until June 1919, when the Air Service in France was ordered demobilized and was turned over to the 1st Air Depot for de-construction. All hangars and other structures were dismantled, and all useful supplies and equipment were removed and sent back to the Depot for storage. Upon completion, the land was turned over to the French government.
Eventually, the land was returned to agricultural use by local farmers. Today, it is a series of cultivated fields located on the south side of the Départmental 417 (D417), about four miles east-southeast of Chaumont, with no indications of its wartime use.

Bruce E. Toll
|
Bruce E. Toll (born April 29, 1943) is an American businessman who co-founded the homebuilder company Toll Brothers.
Early life and education
Toll was born to a Jewish family and grew up in Elkins Park, Pennsylvania. He is the son of Sylvia (née Steinberg) and Albert Toll. His father, who emigrated from Ukraine, was a millionaire investor who lost everything in the Wall Street Crash of 1929. In 1965, Toll graduated with a B.A. from the University of Miami.
Career
In 1967, Toll and his brother Robert I. Toll founded Toll Brothers with a focus on building luxury homes ($500,000+) starting with a plot of land in Caln Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania given to them by their father. They grew the business using a conservative financial model always including a 10 percent expense cushion in all their project cost estimates, never assumed price appreciation during construction, and always used conservative sales estimates. Bruce was responsible for the book-keeping and Robert the legal side of the business. In the late 1980s, they expanded out of the Northeast to Washington, D.C., and in the mid-1990s, to California. The Tolls are credited with mass-producing luxury housing by taking a few standard home styles and increasing the scale several fold. Toll Brothers later expanded into building “active-adult” communities for the elderly affluent and urban high-rises for the newly affluent (Toll Brothers City Living). In 1998, Toll sold 5 million shares of Toll Brothers for $186.6 million although still remaining its second largest shareholder and vice-chairman. In November 2013, Toll Brothers purchased Shapell Homes (founded by Nathan Shapell) for $1.6 billion. As of 2013, Toll Brothers has sold over 40,000 homes in twenty-two states.
Using the proceeds from his stock sale, he has diversified his investments. Toll is principal of real estate investor and developer, BET Investments, and has a diversified pool of investments, including National Renal Alliance of Franklin, Tennessee, a for-profit chain of 12 kidney-dialysis centers; Premier Kids Care Inc. of Atlanta, Georgia, which sells human-growth hormones; Puresyn Inc., a Malvern, Pennsylvania, company which develops gene vaccines and gene-therapies; Colonial Management Group L.P., an Orlando, Florida , chain of 50 methadone-treatment centers; UbiquiTel Inc., a Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, company that sells Sprint-branded PCS wireless service in the West and Midwest; Aquilent Inc., a Laurel, Maryland, company which provides IT services to the government; several automobile dealerships in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, area, including Reedman-Toll Auto World of Langhorne, Pennsylvania, one of the largest dealerships in the US.
Philanthropy and accolades
Toll serves on the board of directors for the Home Builders Association of Bucks and Montgomery Counties, the Ben Franklin Technology Center of Southeastern Pennsylvania, Abington Memorial Hospital, and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Toll typically donates to the Republican party.
Personal life
Toll is married to Robbi S. Toll. Robbi is an interior designer and serves as secretary of the board of the National Museum of American Jewish History. They have four daughters; Michelle, Elizabeth, Wendy, and Jennifer. In 1997, his daughter Elizabeth married investor Leonard M. Tannenbaum; they divorced in 2010.
In 2010, Toll filed an unsuccessful lawsuit against Leonard M. Tannenbaum, his former son-in-law and founder and chief executive officer of Fifth Street Asset Management, alleging that Tannenbaum had promised and failed to pay his daughter Elizabeth half the profits from the management of Fifth Street's latest fund.
