Mausoleum of Baba Rokneddin
|
The Mausoleum of Baba Rukn al-Din (Persian: مقبره بابا رکن الدین) or just Mausoleum of Baba Rokneddin is a mausoleum located within the grounds of the Takht-e Foulad cemetery in Isfahan, Iran. It is number 201 on the list of national monuments of Iran. The mausoleum entombs the remains of the Sufi mystic Masoud ibn Abdullah al-Beyzawi, who is known by his title Baba Rukn al-Din.
The original construction of the mausoleum dates back to the Ilkhanate period. During the reign of Shah Abbas I, restorations and renovations were done to the mausoleum. These works added a tiled porch and several new facilities to the mausoleum. Baba Rukn al-Din's tomb was the only surviving structure from the Ilkhanid era, and this remains true in the present time.
The mausoleum is made with bricks, while the exterior of the building is covered in decorative tiles. The dome is conical in shape, but has five sides.
Inside the mausoleum, there are alcoves on each side of the structure (save for the entrance). One of them holds the grave of Baba Rukn al-Din. His grave has a tombstone made of marble.

Dars (TV show)
|
Dars (Dari and Pashto: درس, lit. 'Lesson') is an educational programme by the BBC launched in April 2023.
Broadcasting episodes in Dari and Pashto, the national languages of Afghanistan, the programme is aimed at children aged between 11 and 16, including girls whose secondary education has been stopped by the Taliban government. The weekly programme is broadcast on BBC News Afghanistan, as well as on social media streams of BBC News Pashto and BBC News Dari.
Following the Taliban takeover, schools for girls were closed. The Taliban stated that the closures were "temporary" until a "suitable environment" was created. The Taliban has said delays to reopening the schools have been caused by the country's aid payments being frozen.
Dars is hosted by female journalists from the BBC's Dari and Pashto services who were evacuated from Afghanistan during the 2021 Taliban takeover. It is filmed in London, United Kingdom.
Dars uses existing BBC's existing educational content, most notably BBC Bitesize, a free online resources for pupils in the United Kingdom, in subjects including maths, science, history, and IT. The videos' adaptations including adding Dari- or Pashto-speaking presenters and removing references that would not make sense in an Afghan context. The episodes are aimed at children aged 11 to 16 who are not accessing education.
Dars airs weekly for half-hour episodes which are broadcast four times a day, Monday to Saturday, on BBC News Afghanistan, as well as being posted online. The first episode premiered on 1 April 2023.
In October 2023, Dars launched its second series, scheduled to run the end of the Afghan academic year in December 2023.
The United Nations called Dars "a learning lifeline" for children barred from schools in Afghanistan.

Sara Mayfield
|
Sara Mayfield (September 10, 1905 – January 15, 1979) was an American writer, journalist, and inventor. Her writing included plays, novels, short stories, and newspaper articles.
Mayfield spent her early life in Montgomery, Alabama where her childhood acquaintances included Tallulah Bankhead, Zelda Fitzgerald, and Sara Haardt.
Mayfield attended Goucher College in Baltimore, Maryland. While there, she won a short-story prize in 1924, which brought her into contact with the journalist and satirist H. L. Mencken. Menken invited Mayfield to supper at Baltimore's Schellhase Palazzo restaurant. As a chaperone, she took her friend Haardt. After a lengthy courtship, Menken and Haardt married on August 27, 1930, in Baltimore.
Mayfield penned three book-length works: The Constant Circle; H.L. Mencken and His Friends, Exiles from Paradise: Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald, and Mona Lisa, the Woman in the Portrait: a Fictional Biography in addition to numerous articles for the Baltimore Sun, the Paris Herald, the New York Herald Tribune, Transradio Press, and the Birmingham News. She worked as an assistant editor at the University of Alabama Press from 1967 to 1969.
In 1946, Mayfield experimented with byproducts from cotton productions. She devised a method for combining waste cellulose with water, which caused the material to harden into a durable material with marketable applications. She called the material Plasticast and incorporated a business called Southern Cellulose Corporation to develop the material's potential.
Following what she considered erratic behavior, Susie Mayfield, Mayfield's mother, had her daughter taken from their home, Idlewyld, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama and confined to Bryce Hospital on March 23, 1948. Zelda Fitzgerald had perished two weeks earlier on March 10 at Highland Hospital in Asheville, North Carolina. Mayfield was released from Bryce on February 25, 1965.

De Poezenkrant
|
De Poezenkrant was an irregularly published Dutch magazine with short reports about and many illustrations about cats that came out between 1974 and 2023. The 'Letters' section was infamous, not least because of the answers and threats from the editors. The magazine was written, designed, and published by graphic designer Piet Schreuders. Writer Willem Frederik Hermans and photographer Ed van der Elsken also often contributed. The design was experimental and eclectic in format, layout and style; the later issues increasingly appeared as pastiches of well-known publications, ranging from National Geographic magazine to the gossip magazine Privé. Because it was published irregularly, subscriptions were taken out per issue, rather than per quarter until 2019. After that, the magazine could only be purchased individually at widely varying prices per edition. The magazine also featured submissions from readers, including the poet Jean Pierre Rawie.
In reality, De Poezenkrant was not a magazine focused on cats at all, but it was a playful vehicle for graphic design and typography by Piet Schreuders, it was only later that the paper evolved into what newspaper Het Parool described a "cultural-historical phenomenon"
De Poezenkrant was first published on February 7, 1974 and initially came out about once a month, although two newspapers appeared on July 10, 1974. From the fifteenth issue onwards, the newspapers (sometimes in the form of small booklets) were published more irregularly. Later the intervals between editions increased to several years. The combined number 50-51 was published in October 2004, number 52 in 2007 and number 53 in spring 2009. Number 57 from 2013 was the booklet Poes in oppression and resistance 1940-1945 by Paul Arnoldussen. Number 67 from 2021 was the aforementioned pastiche on the magazine Privé. In issue 70, dated 7 February 2024, a footnote reads "Last issue".
In 2005 the Amsterdam Public Library devoted an exposition to De Poezenkrant.

Baby macintosh
|
The Baby Macintosh (also referred to as simply the Baby Mac) was a cancelled Macintosh computer from 1986. It was designed by Hartmut Esslinger, using the brand new snow white design language.
The Baby mac, as described by Esslinger himself, was his "best design never to be produced". It was an all-in-one Macintosh computer that was being designed mainly in 1985. The Baby mac's development stopped after Steve Jobs had been kicked out of Apple inc. because of contradictory computer ideologies with John Sculley.
Esslinger and the design team had worked with Toshiba to create multiple cutting-edge features that would've been seen in the Baby mac; a new CRT front, high-end plastics with no paint and a flat-screen display. Esslinger's team chose a flat-screen display to "avoid the cheap look of a regular CRT screen" The Baby mac was intended to be designed to be as small as possible, so Esslinger experimented with the first Apple wireless keyboard and mouse concepts to achieve this design. Esslinger said that the Baby mac was a zero-draft design, and that it was specifically chosen as the winning design for a new computer.
The design of the Baby macintosh has been noted to have a superficial resemblance to the egg design of the iMac G3 from 1998.

Mavis Claytor-Ford
|
Mavis Claytor-Ford (born 1943) was the first black woman admitted to the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Nursing in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1968 and the first African American to receive a bachelor's degree from the school in 1970. She became one of the first black nurses to work at the university's hospital, paving the way for other black nurses in a newly desegregated Virginia.
Claytor-Ford started her training at Provident Hospital in Baltimore and worked as a surgical nurse in Roanoke. After receiving her bachelor's degree, Claytor-Ford's mentor recommended she pursue her master's degree, and she later earned a master's degree in mental health nursing in 1985. With her master's, Claytor-Ford began working at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salem, where she worked for 30 years and eventually retired as the chief nurse for geriatrics and extended care.

Margaret Bryant
|
Margaret Bryant (15 April 1870–14 February 1942) was an English writer, literary "devil", and contributor to the British Encyclopaedia Britannica.
Margaret Anne Bryant was born in Lincolnshire in 1871, the daughter of T. W. Bryant. She worked as a high school teacher until 1901, when she joined the staff of the Encyclopaedia Britannica. She went on to edit The Daily News Year Book, and contributed to the Manchester Guardian and The Observer.
In her own words, Margaret Bryant “had no academic pretensions.” She was, though, described as a “born writer”, whose work often “passed unaltered into the print of surveys, reports and books signed by high- sounding and household names.” Bryant “devilled” (conducted research in the name of someone else) for Alfred George Gardner on The Life of Sir William Harcourt, and for J.L. Garvin on The Life of Joseph Chamberlain.
She worked as a researcher and writer for the Ministry of Food during the First World War, and the League of Nations from 1926. She was described as "a periodical and always welcome visitor to Geneva where her visits came to be known as heralding an unusual outburst of activity on the part of the league Secretariat.”
She then began working for the Royal Institute of International Affairs (Chatham House), remaining there until the end of her life. A colleague later wrote that:
When her spare little figure came almost apologetically round the half-opened door there was always a sheaf of manuscript under her arm, a pencil in one hand and a cigarette in the other. She came to the point at once, stuck to it (for she was firm!), and then took her leave, saying “All right, I'll get that done." She always did “get things done” on time.
Margaret Bryant died in Oxford on 14 February 1942. On her death, the Louth Standard described her as a "distinguished former resident" of Stickney, Lincolnshire, whose "politico-literary career" was "of considerable interest". A correspondent of The Times wrote that:
Margaret Bryant was one of those rare few who earn the title of indispensable. She had a passion for knowledge and a skill in using its store which made her one of the best-informed experts in many fields. The readers of the Bulletin of the Royal Institute of International Affairs always knew that the initials "M.B.” were the hall-mark of competence, and now they know whose modest signature they were. Even at the age of 71 Margaret Bryant was still in harness as the mainstay of the Information Department of Chatham House, and it is the plain sad truth that she literally died in its service. The Institute is indebted to her for some of its best-known published studies: ‘‘World Agriculture,” "Unemployment,’ and the “Colonial Problem"; and she did a great deal of the work of Sir John Hope Simpson’s “Refugee Survey.”
The Observer remembered Bryant as:
a worker and a fighter, concealing an iron will under a deceptively meek exterior, loving gay company, helping and inspiring all who came into contact with her, never sparing the ‘pygmy body’ which housed a gallant soul.
In 1992, Gillian Thomas profiled Margaret Bryant as part of A Position to Command Respect: Women and the Eleventh Britannica. Thomas described Bryant as "a poignant example" of the "nearly invisible work" of women both as contributors to the Britannica, and as workers in governmental and international agencies. She concluded:
Margaret Bryant worked, for the most part, in anonymity and her name is not included in Chisholm’s acknowledgements in the introduction [to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition]. She is, however, formally credited with whole or part authorship of ten different articles.

¡Vamos! Let's Go Eat
|
¡Vamos! Let’s Go Eat is a children’s picture book written and illustrated by Raúl the Third, with Elaine Bay as the colorist. It was published in 2020 by Versify/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. It is a bilingual book in both Spanish and English that shares a story of Little Lobo and his love for food and wrestling. It also celebrates Mexican culture, which helped it win the Pura Belpré Award in 2021. It is part of the ¡Vamos! series and is a sequel to ¡Vamos! Let’s Go to the Market.
This book is the second in Raúl the Third's ¡Vamos! series, which also includes ¡Vamos! Let's Go to the Market and ¡Vamos! Let's Cross the Bridge. Raúl the Third has created a World of Vamos! through these three books and due to their success there are plans to create an animated series. This series was written with regards to Raúl the Third's childhood as he was born in El Paso, Texas but grew up on both sides of the border. ¡Vamos! Let’s Go to Eat was released in 2020 by Versify/Houghton Mifflin Harcourt and is a 32 page long story made for children's literature. ¡Vamos! Let’s Go Eat continues with the two characters we met in ¡Vamos! Let's Go to the Market, as Little Lobo and his canine sidekick Bernabé are getting ready for a new day with their delivery business.
¡Vamos! Let’s Go Eat begins with Little Lobo and Bernabé making their way to "el Coliseo" in their brand new delivery bike. Then, they get a message from el Toro (the wrestler) that their delivery assistance is needed before lunchtime for the big match. Once they arrive, Kooky Dooky leads them into el Toro's training room where they give Little Lobo all of their lunch orders such as carnitas, churros, elotes and more. Little Lobo travels to the food trucks outside the "el Coliseo" and orders as much Mexican food as possible for el Toro and his friends. Once Little Lobo picks up all the necessary food, he delivers the food to el Toro and they all feast together at a large table before the big wrestling match. This story ends with Little Lobo, Bernabé and all their friends watching the wrestling match.
¡Vamos! Let’s Go Eat is a valuable story because of its incorporation of both English and Spanish text. This helps make this children's book a vocabulary lesson with the numerous labels and signs about the "ingredients, food trucks, and culinary delicacies". Much of this can be contributed to the vibrant illustrations by Raúl the Third and colorist Elaine Bay, which is why Pino believes that readers could "spend ages pouring over them to discover something new in the scenery". All of this in-turn helps ¡Vamos! Let’s Go Eat celebrates the Mexican culture, Spanish language and the significance of street food in Mexico. In addition, Pino mentions that the simplistic and straightforward plot of this story will help keep readers engaged and turning the page.
This children's book has been met with a very positive reception. For instance, Johnson sees this book as a "love letter to street vendors and Mexican American culture and food". In addition, the National Council of Teachers of English believes that children will not be able to take their eyes off these pages. Finally, Joyner asserts that the "iconic elements of Mexican culture, food trucks and lucha libre" will create a very positive reception that will make readers hungry for the foods mentioned and excited for more stories told by Raúl the Third.
Illustrator Raúl the Third and colorist Elaine Bay created the artwork of ¡Vamos! Let’s Go Eat with inspiration from the Mexican comic books that Raúl the Third read as a child. Each page is full of vibrant, intrinsic and special illustrations that fill up the entire page and allow readers to become lost. Specifically, the illustrations give the reader context clues and detailed elements that contribute to the meaning of the story. To add, Long discusses how the characters are portrayed to be very animated which helps the scenes become "vibrant with activity and movement".
To keep readers engaged in ¡Vamos! Let’s Go Eat, Raúl the Third includes several popular cultural references. For instance, the book takes a similar approach to Where’s Waldo as pointed out by the National Council of Teachers of English. This decision adds an element of surprise to this piece of literature, to keep children reading and flipping through the pages. In addition the book references Ciudad Juáres-El Paso landmarks, a Chavo del Ocho and a Chapulín Colorado marionette. While knowledge of these references is not needed to understand the context of this book, it helps add a new layer where readers can feel the Mexican culture through each page.
¡Vamos! Let’s Go Eat won the Pura Belpré Award in 2021. This award is given to a Latino/Latina writer and illustrator to celebrate a work of literature for children and youth that best portrays Latino cultural experiences.

Then, they get a message from el Toro (the wrestler) that their delivery assistance is needed before lunchtime for the big match. Once they arrive, Kooky Dooky leads them into el Toro's training room where they give Little Lobo all of their lunch orders such as carnitas, churros, elotes and more. Little Lobo travels to the food trucks outside the \"el Coliseo\" and orders as much Mexican food as possible for el Toro and his friends. Once Little Lobo picks up all the necessary food, he delivers the food to el Toro and they all feast together at a large table before the big wrestling match. This story ends with Little Lobo, Bernabé and all their friends watching the wrestling match.",

"text": "¡Vamos! Let’s Go Eat is a valuable story because of its incorporation of both English and Spanish text. This helps make this children's book a vocabulary lesson with the numerous labels and signs about the \"ingredients, food trucks, and culinary delicacies\". Much of this can be contributed to the vibrant illustrations by Raúl the Third and colorist Elaine Bay, which is why Pino believes that readers could \"spend ages pouring over them to discover something new in the scenery\". All of this in-turn helps ¡Vamos! Let’s Go Eat celebrates the Mexican culture, Spanish language and the significance of street food in Mexico. In addition, Pino mentions that the simplistic and straightforward plot of this story will help keep readers engaged and turning the page.",

Specifically, the illustrations give the reader context clues and detailed elements that contribute to the meaning of the story. To add, Long discusses how the characters are portrayed to be very animated which helps the scenes become \"vibrant with activity and movement\".",

For instance, the book takes a similar approach to Where’s Waldo as pointed out by the National Council of Teachers of English. This decision adds an element of surprise to this piece of literature, to keep children reading and flipping through the pages. In addition the book references Ciudad Juáres-El Paso landmarks, a Chavo del Ocho and a Chapulín Colorado marionette. While knowledge of these references is not needed to understand the context of this book, it helps add a new layer where readers can feel the Mexican culture through each page.",

Nabhan family
|
The Nabhan family (Arabic: نبهان) is a family of Syrian origin that has members in various countries, such as the United States, Brazil, and Palestine. The name Nabhan means "fruitful" or "productive" in Arabic.
The family traces its roots to the city of Aleppo in northern Syria, where it was involved in trade and commerce. Some of the family members migrated to other parts of the Middle East, such as Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine, in search of better opportunities. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, some of the Nabhan family members fled from Palestine to neighboring countries, such as Egypt and Syria, as refugees.
The Nabhan family has its origins in the Levant region, which comprises the current countries of Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and Palestine. The first records of the surname Nabhan date back to the 13th century, when some members of the family participated in the resistance against the Mongol invasions in Syria. The Nabhan family belongs to the orthodox Christian religion and their patron saint is Saint George, the martyr.
In the mid-20th century, some of the Nabhan family members immigrated to the United States, where they settled in New York City. They worked in various fields, such as education, medicine, engineering, and business. Some of the notable members of the Nabhan family in the United States are:
The Nabhan family's immigration to Brazil occurred at the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, amid the political and economic turbulence that affected the Ottoman Empire, which dominated the Levant region. The first immigrants from the Nabhan family settled in the state of Paraná, where they dedicated themselves to agriculture and commerce. Some of them later moved to the state of Mato Grosso, where they became pioneers in the colonization and development of the region. The Nabhan family also has members in Brazil, where they are involved in various activities, such as agriculture, commerce, and politics. Some of the notable members of the Nabhan family in Brazil are:
The Nabhan family has also been affected by the recent conflicts in the Middle East, especially in Gaza, where some of the family members live. In May 2023, the family's home in Jabalia refugee camp was destroyed by an Israeli airstrike, leaving 42 members of the extended family homeless. The airstrike also left four children with special needs without their wheelchairs, crutches, and medical equipment needed to move about. Israel said the building was used as a command center by the Islamic Jihad militant group, which was involved in launching rockets at Israel during the five-day escalation of violence that killed 33 Palestinians and two Israelis. The family denied any connection to the militant group and said they were innocent civilians.

Eugenics in United States immigration
|
Eugenics can be defined as the belief that different traits- physical and otherwise- can be bred in people. Simply put, it is the pseudoscience of selective breeding. There are two kinds of eugenics- positive and negative. Positive eugenics focuses on improving the human race by promoting the reproduction of people perceived to have desirable traits. Negative eugenics does somewhat the opposite, by discouraging those with supposedly undesirable traits from reproducing. Termed by Sir Francis Galton in 1883, Eugenics was hoped to be the science of improvement of humans through more efficient breeding. Eugenics was seeing much popularity in America, primarily in the late 1800s moving into the early 1900s. In America, this movement became some sort of game as for example, for contests were held throughout America to determine which families were the best-bred similar to how livestock were judged at these events. But as did many other powers in American history, this power of controlling breeding among citizens quickly turned very racial and political.
Between the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, the United States had a massive influx of immigrants. Many saw the United States as a new beginning with its enticement of economic opportunity, something these people were not finding in their homelands. However, due to beliefs regarding white-American racial supremacy, as well as the economic crisis that would later hit America-which left many to lose their jobs to these foreigners- immigrants were swiftly and intensely blamed. Eugenics and the belief that those descending from northern European heritage were inherently superior paved the path for which immigrants were not received well into America.
It was pseudoscience that immigration loathing was based upon, and therefore, even the slightest offenses forced immigrants to be turned away. A very common reason for deportation was poor physique, explained to be a symbol of negative genetic makeup. In 1882, the first major Immigration Act was enforced. In this law, the federal government attempted to prevent people considered to be a public charge from entering the American borders. To do so, the government imposed a tax of 50 cents on each immigrant, while also keeping a special eye out for those deemed to be a setback for the American people. The people deemed to be setbacks were simply anyone with mental or physical defects, and the Eugenics Record Office studied heredity paths of immigrants to determine whether they were fit to be in America or not. These studies were very flawed and clearly prioritized immigration restriction and forced sterilization.
As the years progressed, immigrants received much backlash for their heredity and genetic patterns, however figures such as Philip Cowen-a staple on the immigration board, appointed by Teddy Roosevelt-attempted to sway away from Eugenics and give these immigrants what they had not been given before-a chance. However, despite some pushes against this form of immigration prevention, it was progressively only getting stronger, reaching the point of the Johnson Restrictive Immigration Act of 1924, the greatest triumph of the eugenics movement in national affairs. This act highly limited the number of immigrants that could be accepted into America, allotting a minimal amount visas of the population of each foreign nation, as determined by the 1890 census. This deeply hurt European immigrant and the act also practically excluded all of Asia. Literacy tests as well as tax payments were increased as well all to make it more difficult for an immigrant to pass the eugenic test to make their way into America.
The Supreme Court also backed up the eugenic movement against immigrants, as court decisions such as those made in Buck v Bell and Jacobson v Massachusetts ruled that public health was more important than individual rights in cases where people with unfit conditions or characteristics could pass these traits on. States began enforcing involuntary sterilization laws, beginning with Indiana in 1907 and making its way to 30 states by 1931. These states used this power to sterilize those with mental illness or anyone they saw unfit for being a parent. The nation's troubled racial history also allowed them to use this power against those they saw as inferior races without much backlash from federal power. Immigration acts were getting more strength, and physicians were only getting less retaliation from the government for using eugenics to carry out twisted and altered regulations, making eugenics seem like the locked door preventing immigrants from ever fully assimilating into American culture.
For immigrants, the key unlocking their entrance into true American life came into the eye-opening observations made in Europe regarding negative uses of Eugenics. Similar to supremacy beliefs seen in America, Adolf Hitler was very prideful of his German nationality and wanted it to be purified. He therefore wanted it only to consist of those deemed to be valuable. Hitler ensured that anyone he deemed as invaluable including mental-defects, homosexuals, and especially Jews were not only left out of his prosperous Nazi regime, but instead murdered at the hands of Hitler, being what we know today as the Holocaust. America obviously did not want to be associated with mass genocide of such magnitude in any way, and therefore quickly limited their sterilizations on immigrants to attempt to disassociate themselves from the concept of eugenics altogether. Eugenics was not completely thrown away, but numbers did decrease heavily, institutions dropping by hundred or thousands of sterilization cases. In many cases, the issues lied in the fact that immigrants, due to their foreign culture and language, did not understand the procedure of immunization and were basically being forced into this against their will. So, in cases such as Madrigal v Quilligan in California, and others across the nation, institutions were required to explain more clearly and thoroughly to immigrants what the immunization process was. Today, there are no more facilitiies run by state legislature that attempt to use eugenics to prevent certain American citizens their rights as American citizens, and are instead supported as they look at possible positive or negative genetic makeup of possible offspring.
Upon the introduction of eugenics in America in the early 1900s, it was very popular and widely accepted. It was even praised, as "Fitter Family" contests were introduced in fairs to give glory to families that displayed the best eugenic properties, in much the same way that produce and livestock were judged at such events. There was more public support for eugenics than even the eugenicists themselves expected.
As eugenics progressed, it moved away from something that American citizens to sought to compete for and towards something for them to cling to in terms of ethnic purity. Anglo-Saxon superiority had been a widely accepted belief for many years, and immigrants began to threaten this belief. Immigrants were also aliens to the late nineteenth century/ early twentieth century American public, with an alien culture that Americans had difficulty accepting into their own. White supremacists used eugenics to argue the inferiority of other races, particularly when it came to immigration. Americans were afraid that Anglo-Saxon superiority was at risk due to racial mixing and being overrun by the masses of ethnic minorities. They felt that Anglo-Saxons would disappear, like the Native Americans and the buffalo. Because the "native" American population had a lower birth rate than the immigrant population, eugenicists claimed that even if immigrants started having fewer children, there were still more immigrants entering the country, overwhelming the "native" American population. To eugenicists, more immigrants meant greater danger of tainting the population with undesirable traits, and therefore tainting future generations. They claimed that because of technological advancements, unfit people were living longer when they otherwise would have been eliminated due to survival of the fittest. Thus, immigration needed to be restricted to compensate for the increased amount of unfit people.
For these reasons, U.S. citizens were genuinely scared of immigrants and were unwilling to totally accept them into their society. Therefore, the newly developed concept of preventing unfit people from repopulating was widely accepted, and eugenics was used as a sort of cover-up to prevent racism, sexism, ableism, and many other discriminatory beliefs to be illuminated. In fighting for immigration restriction policies, eugenicists argued that the United States had let every nation throw whatever it wanted into the American melting pot, with no regard for what the results might be. They claimed that since selective breeding was used on livestock and plants, then the practice should also be applied to humans because they were superior creatures. While eugenics continued to limit the number of accepted immigrants, the public voted on ways to continually keep immigrants out. In California, Proposition 187 was a form of doing so, as it prevented many immigrants from receiving federal services.
Some Americans said that if it was survival of the fittest, the overwhelmed Anglo-Saxons might as well go under, but eugenicists disagreed. They felt that it was not about survival of the fittest, but rather about survival of the best. The eugenics movement lost momentum in the Great Depression. Around that time, critics spoke loudly about perceived flaws in the eugenics concept, such as the impact of the environment on a person, thus sparking up the debate of nature versus nurture. This was not the first wave of criticism for eugenics. People disagreed from the very beginning. Critics argued that eugenics wasn't a true science- there was too much hearsay. The data collected was mostly anecdotal, and therefore questionable and unreliable. Some Americans felt that immigrants being included in the melting pot could result in a generation that was superior, both mentally and physically, but they were few and far between.
Just as widely as it was accepted in the early 1900s, eugenic power over immigration was rejected after World War II. Americans realized that their eugenics movement had been a major influence of the racial cleansing of Nazi Germany. America looked to sweep their actions under the rug. The American public had once esteemed eugenics, but due to the realization of its role in the Holocaust, the eugenics movement died out.

Genevieve Mora
|
Genevieve Mora (also known as Genevieve Mora Holder, born September 19, 1994) is a New Zealand mental health activist and co-founder of Voices of Hope, a story-telling based platform that focuses on suicide prevention. She has authored numerous books promoting mental health, hosted podcasts and co-founded the eating disorder resource app Love Your Kite. Mora currently serves as the general manager for Voices of Hope. She continues to contribute to the mental health community through sharing her own journey battling mental illness and has received numerous awards for her work.
Genevieve Mora was born on September 19, 1994, in Auckland, New Zealand. She has been open about her battle with mental illness throughout her childhood and adolescence. Mora states that she first developed anxiety at age ten before being diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder at age thirteen and later was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa. She received intensive treatment for her eating disorder and was in and out of Starship Hospital for nearly two years receiving care. Since then she states that she is doing well and continues to share her story through her career to help others.
In September 2014 Mora moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. She has since appeared in the film Reporting Live (2013), Camp-Off (2014) and numerous commercials and short films. Mora currently lives back in Auckland, New Zealand focusing on her work for the organization Voices of Hope. She recently married her fiancé Izak Holder
Along with fellow mental health activist Jazz Thornton, Mora founded the organization Voices of Hope in 2014. Voices of Hope serves as an online platform to share the lived experiences of individuals who faced battles with mental health. Through the organization people are able to post a video telling the story of their journey in hopes of inspiring others to keep fighting. One campaign that Voices of Hope spearheaded is “Behind the Jersey” which encourages athletes to have open dialogue about their mental health and seek support when needed. On this project Voices of Hope collaborated with numerous professional athletes such as Jack Salt, former professional basketball player, Alrie Meleisea boxer and MMA fighter, and Tayla Clement former Paralympian to name a few. Other campaigns Voices of Hope have led are ‘How are you, really?’ and ‘You wouldn’t say it to their face’.
Genevieve Mora’s primary job is serving as the general manager of Voices of Hope. Additionally, through the organization she hosts her own podcast and participates in campaigns that go into schools and other community groups to raise awareness surrounding mental health. Mora maintains a large social media presence through her YouTube Channel, Instagram and TikTok accounts to advocate for mental health resources and share her own journey to inspire others that they can get to the other side of their mental health battles.
She also serves on the External Eating Disorder Advisory Board of New Zealand as their lived-experience advocate. In 2018 Genevieve Mora and her co-founder of Voices of Hope Jazz Thornton, participated in a meeting with various mental health initiatives from across New Zealand. The discussion took place at Maranui Cafe in Wellington New Zealand and deliberated the mental health crisis in the nation. They were joined by organizations such as Key to Life, Lifeline and the national helpline service 1737 as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who were on their Australian leg of the tour.
In February 2021 Mora released the eating disorder resource app Love Your Kite that she co-founded with Hannah Hardy-Jones. Mora helped to adapt Hardy-Jones’ Kite Program, an initiative founded by Hardy Jones that provides self-development for wellbeing and mental illness for eating disorder treatment. As of August 2021 the app had over 1000 users internationally and was acknowledged by the Butterfly Foundation a prominent eating disorder resource organization in Australia.
Genevieve Mora has also produced numerous literary works surrounding mental health and treatment. She co-authored My Journey Starts Here: A Guided Journal to Improve Your Mental Well-Being with Jazz Thornton which was released worldwide on January 5th, 2021. The book is meant to serve as a practical guide for eating disorder recovery with inspirational quotes, coping mechanisms and spaces for creative outlet. On July 4, 2023 Mora released her own book Bite Back: A compassionate guide to navigating Eating Disorders. Bite back is a three part novel that describes her own battle with OCD, anorexia, anxiety, tips for those struggling and how their loved ones can provide support and other stories of recovery. Together Thornton and Mora constructed the film 'Dear Suicidal Me' which had over 80 million views as of 2020.

Mustafa Al-Kurd
|
Mustafa Al-Kurd (born 1945) is a Palestinian musician and composer who blends various musical traditions in his music, including classical Arabic oud music, Sufi chants and rhythms, Byzantine singing, European organ music, and Palestinian folklore. Using these traditions, he has created a new genre of contemporary Palestinian political music and chansons. As a composer and songwriter, he also sets to music the texts of famous Palestinian poets such as Mahmud Darwish, Rashid Hussein, Tawfiq Ziad, Fadwa Touqan, as well as his own poems, accompanying them on his oud.
Al-Kurd received his education in the Old City of Jerusalem at the Omariyeh School. He was thirteen when his father died in 1958. Subsequently, he had to work to support his mother and four younger siblings. Until 1970 he worked as a metalworker. Self-taught and learning from traditional oud players, he became a skilled oud player within a few years, initially playing it only privately. It was only after the June War in 1967, the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and particularly the annexation of his hometown Jerusalem by Israel, that he began to play his music publicly. He began writing political songs, setting his own texts to music as well as poems by recognized Palestinian poets to music, and performing them throughout the country.
His Palestinian anthem, "The Plow" ("Give me the plow and the sickle and never leave your land..."), created in 1972, resonated throughout Palestine, including the West Bank, Gaza, and notably within the Palestinian population in Israel. Journalist and diplomat Eric Rouleau wrote about this time in 1984: "In the Arab part of Jerusalem, young people in jeans and colorful shirts visit each other, listening attentively to a record produced in East Jerusalem. Through his poetic and accusatory criticism, Mustafa al-Kurd indirectly draws attention to the occupation of the land, the struggle of the Palestinian National Front, but also the longing for peace."
From 1972, al-Kurd collaborated with the Jerusalem theater group Ballalin, serving as one of its influential actors and composing theater music. Following the group's dissolution in 1975, he performed in 1976 with another group in the play "We Are Insane," written by the actors themselves. He was arrested on stage and placed in administrative detention without any charges or trial. Through joint efforts of several Palestinian and Israeli lawyers, he was released at the end of 1976. After his release, however, he had to leave the country. Al-Kurd settled in Beirut, where he worked as a musician and theater specialist until 1979, collaborating with Lebanese artists. In 1979, he left the region and lived until 1985 in exile in West Germany.
In December 1976, al-Kurd left the West Bank and initially went to Jordan, then continued to Damascus. In January 1977, he embarked on a concert tour in Finland, followed by his participation in the Festival of Political Songs in East Berlin in February. On May 1, 1977, he took part in a concert in Amman to mark the release of Jordanian Communist Party leader Yaqub Ziyadin from Jordanian custody.
During the summer of 1977, al-Kurd toured Western Europe, including Düsseldorf, where he participated in the Anti-Imperialist Solidarity Concert of the German Communist Party. From there, he proceeded to the Fête de L’Humanité in Paris before returning to Beirut.
Over the next two years, al-Kurd shared his rich experiences in theater and music, particularly in political songs, with Lebanese artists like Ziad ar-Rahbani and Lebanese activist Jean Chamoun. He also collaborated with the playright Roger Assaf, focusing on theater.
While in Lebanon, al-Kurd visited Palestinian refugee camps in the southern part of the country, performing his songs. In 1978, he spent some time in Rome, where the film "Tell ez-Zaatar" by Palestinian director Mustafa Abu-Ali was produced. Al-Kurd composed and recorded the film's music. A highlight during this period was his participation in the "Contr’Eurovision" Festival in Brussels in April 1979, where he gave a solo concert and performed some songs in the general program. His solo concert was released in 1979 as an LP titled "Mustafa al-Kurd. The Voice of Palestine."
From Beirut, Mustafa al-Kurd initially moved to Göttingen with his wife, the political scientist Helga Baumgarten, who was pursuing a Ph.D. at the local university and working as an assistant.
He gave several concerts in Göttingen. The first major tour in 1980 took him, along with poet Samih al-Qassem and Pastor Shehadeh Shehadeh, throughout Germany. Al-Kurd's first significant political song in German was "Ohne Reisepass" (Without a Passport), based on the words of the Palestinian poet Raschid Husain, who had died in exile in America. The song addresses the theme of Palestinian exile.
From 1981 to 1985, al-Kurd lived in Berlin with his wife and their son Sami Darwish, born in 1981, where his wife worked as an assistant at the Free University of Berlin.
During this period, he performed in concerts and concert tours throughout Europe. After the Lebanon War against Palestinians and the expulsion of the Palestine Liberation Organisation from Lebanon, he toured several German cities in 1983 with Palestinian poet and lyricist Mahmud Darwish. In these performances, he sang his songs about Ariel Sharon's campaign against the Palestinians and the Sabra and Shatila massacre. In the same year, he created his first cycle of Jerusalem songs, which gained widespread popularity in Europe, Palestine, and among Palestinians in Israel.
In 1981, the theater group al-Hakawati, which evolved from the core group of Ballalin, led by François Abu Salem, toured Germany, especially Berlin and Hamburg. Al-Kurd performed short concerts within the same context. Building on this revived collaboration, he traveled to southern France in the spring of 1982, working with François Abu Salem on a new theater production titled "One Thousand and One Nights for a Stone Thrower." Al-Kurd composed and recorded the music for the new play. The initial performances took place in Denmark and later in Tunis. In Tunis, al-Kurd continued working with al-Hakawati and held his own concerts.
In 1984, he traveled from Berlin to Jerusalem and inaugurated the new theater for al-Hakawati with a grand and widely acclaimed concert. A year later, the final return to Jerusalem became possible, largely due to the efforts of his lawyer, Lea Tsemel.
At the first Palestinian theater in Jerusalem, al-Hakawati, or simply Hakawati (now the Palestinian National Theatre, located in the former Al-Nuzha cinema), al-Kurd established a music department in 1986. There, he taught Arabic music, composed music for numerous plays, and organized concerts, including his own solo performances, joint concerts with other musicians, or guest concerts by Palestinian or international artists. In 1988, after a year of Intifada, the Hakawati group left Jerusalem. This led to Mustafa al-Kurd separating Nuzha al-Hakawati Theater and establishing an independent institute, the Jerusalem Center for Arab Music. He continues to lead this center today.
Upon his return to Jerusalem in August 1985, al-Kurd composed a cycle of chansons dedicated to his hometown. They were first performed in the summer of 1989 in a concert at the Cloister of the Lutheran Church in the Old City. The arrangement was revolutionary, featuring two ouds and percussion instruments, but unfortunately, there is no recording of this performance. In a different arrangement, the Jerusalem cycle was eventually released in 1993 as a CD titled "Fawanis" in Switzerland by Giovanni Schumacher of the Sacco and Vanzetti label.
During the First Intifada (1987–1990), al-Kurd wrote a series of political songs about the events, released on cassettes titled "Children of the Intifada" or "Les Enfants de la Palestine 1 and 2." In July 1988, the The Guardian wrote "Perhaps the most beautiful song of the Intifada is the song 'Stone and Onion' on the cassette 'Children of the Intifada,' the sadly underrated but still widely distributed and celebrated album of Jerusalem singer Mustafa al-Kurd." The second cassette was also released as a CD in 1992. This particular recording features al-Kurd's voice and oud accompanied by computer-controlled synthesizers, creating an impressive blend of original Palestinian-Arabic music and modern Western electronic music. Since the mid-90s, his music has become richer, more complex, and fuller. It shifted away from the directly political songs of the first 25 years of the occupation towards a distinctly lyrical direction, where the artist's deepest feelings take center stage. He set an entire cycle of poems by Fadwa Tuqan, the "grand old lady" of Palestinian poetry from Nablus in the West Bank, to music. Some of these appeared on his second CD, "Fawanis," released and distributed in Switzerland.
In a concert in the former synagogue in Freudental near Stuttgart in 1989, he and his newly formed ensemble presented these songs for the first time in Germany, following the premiere of these songs in the cloister of the Evangelical Church/Provost in the Old City of Jerusalem.
Mustafa al-Kurd embarked on concert tours across various countries and participated in numerous international festivals.
Mustafa al-Kurd's participation in these events showcased his music on the international stage, contributing to the appreciation and recognition of Palestinian cultural expression worldwide.

Amjad Najmi
|
Amjad Najmi (1899–1974) was an Indian poet, dramatist, prose writer, and nationalist. He has contributed to the development of the Urdu language in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh.
Amjad Najmi was born on October 29, 1899, in Buxi Bazar, Cuttack. His father, Muhammad Yousuf Yousuf (d. 1924), was an Urdu poet, and besides Urdu, he also had good skills in Odia, Persian, and English.
He received his early education at Madrasa Islamia Buxi Bazar, Cuttack, and the Roman Catholic Middle English School. The head of the Roman Catholic school and an Odia poet, Pandit Shyam Ghan Narayan, tutored him in Odia poetry when he was only thirteen to fourteen years old.
In 1916, he was admitted to the Peary Mohan Academy, Cuttack, for his 10th examination, where he began to study Urdu and Persian regularly and, at the same time, trained for a year in poetry with Habibullah Tasnim Jaipuri, an imam of Paltan Masjid, Buxi Bazar, Cuttack.
After Habibullah Tasnim Jaipuri moved to Rangoon, keeping his name hidden, he started taking corrections from his father, Muhammad Yusuf Yusuf, and at the same time, he also benefited a little from Rahmat Ali Rahmat (d. 1963), father of Karamat Ali Karamat. He was influenced by the poet of the East, Muhammad Iqbal, on the basis of which he wanted to seek reform from Iqbal through correspondence. But Iqbal avoided him as usual and advised him to study the collections of the senior poets. Later, when he developed a passion for poetry in Persian, he consulted Shamsuddin Shams Muneeri, when Muneeri was residing in Cuttack as a law lecturer at Ravenshaw College.
When he was matriculating, the movements of Khilafat and non-cooperation spread all over India; students were saying goodbye to the school and college, and he also joined the same movement. He used to recite his poems and others' poems in programs.
He also met Mahatma Gandhi at the time, when Gandhi first visited Orissa (now Odisha) in March 1921. At the same time, Najmi was jailed, and when he was released, his father sent him to his uncle in Ranchi. After a year, when he returned to Cuttack, he got a job on the railways there, and then he worked in 1922. In the same year, he founded Bazm-e-Adab in Cuttack with some regional and non-regional poets, whose first Mushaira was held on July 1, 1923, in Madrasa Sultania, Cuttack.
In 1924, he was stationed at Guru Jatia (now Gurudijhatia), Cuttack, and in 1926, at Rajathgarh, Cuttack. At that time, in 1928, he founded the Young Muslim Club in Jatni, Khorda, under which plays were performed. In 1938, he moved to Waltair, Visakhapatnam, so he established Bazm-e-Adab there with the support of some friends, of which he was also president from 1941 to 1954 and which was named later the All-Andhra Urdu Majlis, which still continues the sense for poetry and literature among the Urdu-speaking classes there.
After retiring from his work, Najmi returned to Cuttack in October 1954. He was asked to take on the role of president of Bazm-e-Adab, Cuttack, which he did, serving in that capacity until he fell out with the Majlis administration. He gave up his position as president. He was a follower of Muhammad Iqbal in poetry and Agha Hashar Kashmiri in drama.
In 1954, he retired from service on a pension; the pension was meager. Therefore, the government of Odisha issued him a literary stipend of Rs. 50 per month. At the same time, he also established a school named City Commercial School to teach typing and stenography, earned some income from this, and also earned a living by stone carving.
From 1965 to 1973, he was the editor-in-chief of the monthly Shakhsar. Also, he compiled his father Muhammad Yousuf Yousuf's poetry collection, Nakhat-i-Bagh-i-Yousuf, which is still unpublished.
Najmi first started writing poetry in Odiya during her school days, inspired by Radhanath Ray and Madhusudan Rao. In 1916, he started formal ghazal poetry, and by 1920, he had mastered Urdu, Odia, Persian, and English. He had a strong grasp of these four languages and mastered poetry in Persian. However, according to Karamat Ali Karamat, the ghazals written from 1916 to 1920 were excluded from Najmi's collection, so don't be safe.
In 1961 and 1969, his two poetry collections were published under the names Tulu-e-Sahar and Joo-e-Kahkashan, respectively, which were compiled by Karamat Ali Karamat. In 2017, Karamat published Najmi's published and unpublished poetry under the name Kulliyat-i-Amjad Najmi.
In 1916–17, Najmi turned to acting and playwriting inspired by Agha Hashar's style, appeared on the formal stage in 1921, and by 1928 began directing plays.
From 1928 to 1938, he was so busy with dramas that he started neglecting poetry to some extent. He has played a major role in beautifying, refining, and popularizing the Urdu stage in Odisha. He wrote four plays: Badnaseeb Badshah, Kaamyaab Talwar, Kishore Kanta, and Insaf Ka Koda. These plays are still unpublished.
According to Hafizullah Nawalpuri's statement, another aspect of Najmi's prose writing and literary importance is his correspondence. His letters written on various topics were compiled by him in 1966 under the name Sarir-e-Qalam and have not been published until now. However, many of his letters have been published in the monthly Shakhsar, Cuttack, and in Rahnuma-e-Taleem, Delhi.
In his memory, the Najmi Academy, a literary and welfare-registered institution in Odisha, has been founded, through which the Najmi Award is given to poets and writers of various languages besides Urdu each year. In his honor, a library is also named Najmi Library.
In 1988, Nuruddin Ahmed wrote a book in English called The Brightest Heaven on Najmi's thought and art, and in addition, Ahmed, under the supervision of Muhammad Qamaruddin Khan, wrote a thesis in English on Western influence on the poetry of Iqbal and Najmi and obtained a doctorate degree from Utkal University. Similarly, Masihullah Masih completed his doctorate by writing a thesis titled The Life and Work of Amjad Najmi in 1980, under the supervision of Prof. Samiul Haq.
Shaikh Quraish had published a special issue of his journal, Sada-e-Orissa, Najmi Number. Also, Najmi's poetry collection Joo-e-Kahkashan is included in the syllabus of MA (Urdu) at the Universities of Odisha and Fazil-e-Urdu at the Odisha State Board of Madrasa Education (OSBME).
In 1954, Najmi was honored with the title of Najm ash-Shu'ara (transl. Star of Poets) by the All Andhra Urdu Majlis at the annual conference held at Machilipatnam in recognition of his poetic excellence and his literary services. Shamsuddin Shams Muneeri, in his poetry collection Gulbang, vouched for a stanza of Najmi and mentioned him as Shayer-e-Orissa (transl. the poet of Orissa) in the margin.
Amjad Najmi died on February 1, 1974, and was buried at Qadam-e-Rasool Graveyard in Dargah Bazar, Cuttack.

Fal-i Qur'an
|
A fal-i Qur'an is a divinatory Qur'an used to predict and interpret the future for the user. The word fal-i comes from Persian and means divination. Islamic divinatory and occult practices grew in popularity during the Safavid Empire's rule, and manifested through practices such as astrology, geomancy, and the use of fal-i Qur'ans. The use of the fal-i Qur'an draws on previous practices across religions of using holy books for bibliomancy. Engaging in these divinatory tools allowed users to interpret events in their lives and offer advice. Fal-i qur'ans are often associated with falnama, decorated fortune telling books. A fal-i Qur'an is made up of a standard Qur'an with a divination chart, also referred to as a divination grid, at the end. The divination charts found in fal-i Qur'ans consist of a letter table and corresponding explanations which users can understand by following specific steps, to answer and offer advice to posed questions. The majority of fal-i Qur'ans still extant today are from the Safavid period, therefore created in the Safavid Quranic style. Safavid Qur'ans covered a range of styles from simple handwritten copies to very ornate and decorated versions with various colors.
Fal-i Qur'ans function within a larger Islamic practice of bibliomancy, with methods derived from earlier bibliomaniac practices in Judaism, Christianity, and Central Asian Buddhism. Multiple texts, including the Qur'an, have been used in Persian Islamic practices. Other texts include the Divan, or the "Compendium of Poems" written by Persian poet Hāfiz. This text and excerpts from it are still used today for bibliomancy. In Persian fal-i Qur'an practices, manuscripts detailing how to use and interpret Qur'anic divination were often referred to as falnama, and could be included in the back of the Qur'an or as free standing text. These falnama texts formed the basis of Ottoman fal-i Qur'an practices beginning in the 15th century when a Shi'i falnama was translated into Ottoman Turkish. Persian or Shi'i fal-i Qur'an divination were derived from the interpretive power of Qur'anic verses. In order to answer a divinatory question using a fal-i Qur'an, the practitioner was instructed to recite certain verses from the Qur'an, such as the "Throne Verse from the al-Baqarah surah. The practitioner would then navigate to a random page in a complete Qur'an codex, and find the first letter of the seventh line on the page on the right of the randomized opening. The divination tables included in the back of the divinatory Qur'an would then be used to interpret the selected letter, with each letter of the Arabic alphabet and its corresponding positive and negative omens included in the table.
A Safavid Qur'an is made up of many materials that take the skills of multiple artists. Every aspect of the Qur'an, from the binding, the decorations, and the calligraphy of the text required the mastery of a different set of materials. The calligraphy was inscribed in multiple styles depending on the text. Thuluth, a style of Arabic calligraphy, was used to label sura titles and number verses. It was often written in blue or white ink. The names of Allah were written in muhaqqaq, another style of Arabic calligraphy, in blue or gold ink. Blue and gold are the primary colors used in Safavid Qur'ans, with red black and white making up the secondary color scheme, enriching the color palette. Gold pigment and blue ink made from lapis lazuli were used in smaller quantities in the final layer. Other colored ink was pigmented by dye from plants and insects. Safavid Qur'ans were often bound in lavishly decorated gilded leather, protecting the more fragile parchment. The leather was covered in decorative motifs that stood in relief to the red-brown leather. Some sections were left ungilded to highlight the contrast in color and textures of the shiny gold and matte leather. The leather covers were practical for protecting the Qur'an while serving a decorative purpose. The text of the Qur'an was written on parchment or paper made of linen and hemp rags. In both cases, the result was a smooth thick surface that absorbed ink easily. In some cases, divination tables were added into the ends of Qur'ans after they were bound. This meant that the texture of the paper and hues of the ink may not match the original Qur'an exactly, though the materials used are the same.

Charles Picqué (painter)
|
Charles Picqué (20 June 1799 – 21 March 1869), also called Charles-Louis Picqué, was a Belgian painter, lithographer and engraver known for his neo-classical and romantic works. He was distinguished in several fields: portraiture, landscape, still-life, sacred art and history painting.
Charles Louis Picqué, born in Deinze in 1799, was the son of a master tailor, Philippe Picqué, and of Marie-Josine Cras. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Ghent as a student of Joseph Paelinck. In 1823, he won first prize from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels and exhibited the same year at the Ghent Salon.
In 1824, he presented two works at the Brussels Triennial Salon and received first prize for Le vieux Tobie, aveugle, bénissant son fils ('Old, Blind Tobias Blessing his Son'). In August 1826, he received the grand prize for painting at the Ghent salon for his Hébé et l'Aigle de Jupiter ('Hebe and the Eagle of Jupiter').
In 1827, he obtained a scholarship to go to Rome and train there for three years. In 1830, he also went to Naples before returning to Belgium. He also made numerous trips to Great Britain.
He is also known for having created a painting representing a group portrait of the members of the Belgian provisional government of 1830.
Around 1845, he gave up history painting for portraiture and thereafter signed his works "Carlo Picqué". He died at the age of 69, on 21 March 1869, at his home on the rue de l'Étuve in Brussels.
On 27 June 1833, Charles Picqué married Marie Jeanne Françoise Catherine Lubin (1807–1861) in Brussels. Two children were born from this union: Camille Joseph (1834–1909) and Virginie Hélène (1836–1917).
Charles Picqué remained faithful to neoclassicism when he stayed in Rome, but he later took liberties in the application of neoclassical precepts. The Flemish sense of colour in some of his work evokes Baroque painters such as Rubens and van Dyck. In addition to religious subjects, Picqué also painted folkloric scenes during his training in Rome.

Ants on a Shrimp
|
Ants on a Shrimp is a 2016 documentary film directed by Maurice Dekkers about chef René Redzepi's journey to create a temporary restaurant in Tokyo.
The team only had one month to get ready for the five week event in Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo. During this, they create a 14-course menu from local ingredients. Redzepi himself only arrives in Japan 15 days before opening to see what his team has come up with.
Eater said "To see this in action isn’t quite as good as eating at Noma, but it’s the closest we’ll probably ever get."

South German Confederation
|
From 1866 to 1869, the South German Confederation or Südbund, was the idea that the southern German states of Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden and Hesse-Darmstadt would form a confederation of states. Article 4 of the Peace of Prague after the Austro-Prussian War spoke of this possibility (literally: “meet into an association”). However, due to disagreement among themselves, the southern German states concerned did not make use of this.
In the north, the Kingdom of Prussia formed the North German Confederation as a new German federal state. The North German Confederation and Prussia individually concluded defense treaties with the southern states, the protection and defence alliances . In 1870/1871, after France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War, the North German Confederation absorbed the southern states and transformed itself into the German Empire.
At the time of the Erfurt Union in 1849/1850 it already looked like the Kingdom of Prussia could only unite the north of Germany. The large kingdoms of Bavaria and Württemberg, as well as Saxony, which finally had to join the North German Confederation after 1866 as a result of its defeat on the side of Austria, vehemently rejected the attempt at unification under Prussian leadership. However, the “Third Germany” did not manage to run an independent line between Austria and Prussia in the following twenty years. Bavaria saw itself in a leadership role that was not recognized by the other medium-sized and small states.
As early as 1850, France was also against Prussia expanding its power south of the Main River. Instead, the French Emperor Napoleon III tried. In the 1860s, they sought to annex West German territories, for example on the occasion of a secret treaty with Austria in June 1866. If Bismarck founded the upcoming federal state only with the northern German states, this reassured not only Austria but also France.
On July 14, 1866, Prussia and France agreed that Prussia could establish a federal state in the north. The southern German states should be allowed to unite to form a southern alliance that should be internationally independent. The northern state and the southern federal government were allowed to freely regulate their relationship with one another. From the French perspective, the foreseeable coexistence of the northern state, the southern federal state and Austria would not have disturbed the European balance. The Southern Confederation was only mentioned in the Peace of Prague of August 23 and not yet in the Nikolsburg Preliminary Peace of July 26, 1866, despite the otherwise identical statements.
In the largest of the four states, Bavaria, Prime Minister Hohenlohe was in favor of joining Prussia, while the king was against it. Baden also sought to join the new (North German) Confederation. However, the Peace of Prague prohibited Prussia from incorporating southern German states into its new alliance. The situation of Hesse-Darmstadt was special, as only one of its three provinces (Upper Hesse) became a member of the North German Confederation.
In a ministerial declaration of May 6, 1867, Bavaria and Württemberg advocated that the southern German states should be associated with the North German Confederation through a confederation of states. This confederation of states was intended as a copy of the German Confederation. Prussia rejected such a construction. Hohenlohe, in turn, rejected Bavaria's accession to the North German Confederation in parliament on October 8, 1867, as well as a final southern German federal state or a "constitutional alliance of the southern German states under the leadership of Austria". Rather, the southern German states should individually “establish closer contact” with northern Germany.
Although Prussia wanted German unification, it did not dare to openly violate the Peace of Prague. Baden, Württemberg and Hesse-Darmstadt preferred to communicate directly with Prussia and not become dependent on Bavaria. On November 23, 1867, Hohenlohe proposed a confederation of states, the United South German States, including a draft constitution. On Prussia's advice, Baden treated the Bavarian proposals with delay, thereby bringing them to a standstill in 1868.
On the occasion of the peace treaty with Prussia in 1866, the southern German states had already signed (initially) secret military alliances with Prussia, as the dissolution of the German Confederation meant that there was no longer any military guarantee and they would therefore have been left defenseless against an attack by France. They also partially standardized their military constitutions among themselves.

Clemenstorget
|
Clemenstorget is a public square in Lund, Sweden. It is located about 100 metres to the northeast of Lund Central railway station and is one of the largest squares in the city. Clemenstorget is known for its market activity, most of all flea markets.
The square was founded in the 1890s and was originally called Clementstorget (the name was changed in 1923). Several houses were built around the square, including imposing stone houses on the north and east sides of the square. On the west side of the square is the customs house, now used for auctions, and there has been a pedestrian bridge over the railway station since 1997.
The municipality of Lund planned a rectangular zoning plan to the east of the square in the late 19th century, which was never built. Instead the Spoletorp area was built to the north of the square, which is an example of a well-preserved lush stone house block from the early 20th century. The stone house planned to the northeast opposite the All Saints Church were never built, instead the Lindeberg school and the Ribbing sanatorium were built in a lush and respected park milieu. There later was discussion about a "renovation plan" for the square, whose result was that all houses in the area, except for one Art Nouveau building on the south side of the square from 1900 were preserved. A warehouse and office build was built in the place of this building from 1975 to 1997, and this building now significantly dominates the area around the square.
All sides of the square, except for the east side, have later received frequent traffic from the city and regional buses, as the Lund Central Station is located right next to the square.
On 5 April 2003 the sculpture Eos, den rosenfingrade by Staffan Niblén was built near the pool in the middle of the square. The sculpture was later removed in June 2017 because the square was being renovated for the Lund tramway. In spring 2017 eight trees were moved to Brunnshög to make way for the tram line. The sculpture Eos was moved back to the square, at a new place, on 4 December 2020.
The central terminus of the Lund tramway, called Lund C, is located diagonally across the square.

William Harrison Nebergall
|
Crest (toothpaste)Joseph C. Muhler
William Harrison Nebergall (21 December 1914 - 2 September 1978) was an inorganic chemist who synthesized the fluoride compatible polishing agent calcium pyrophosphate. This discovery combined with stannous fluoride led to the development and release of the first fluoride containing toothpaste, Crest, in 1955. In 1960 Crest became the first toothpaste to be endorsed by the American Dental Association as an effective decay-preventing agent. In 1959 he cowrote one of the first widely used textbooks of college chemistry titled General Chemistry, which was published in six editions.
William H. Nebergall was the second of four children of Clarence Cleveland Neberball and Zelpha Maude Miller Nebergall. He was born in a farm house in Cuba, Illinois and attended a one-room school house in Cuba. Nebergall felt like phonetis and extensive drilling in spelling and arithmetic were more important in education than extensive curricula and palatial physical facilities. He married Florence Johnson on 18 September 1940 and had three children: William, James, and Susan.
Nebergal received his Bachelor of Education Degree at Western Illinois State Teachers College in 1936 and his Masters of Science in chemistry from University of Illinois in 1939. He spent the next 10 years as a college chemistry instructor, including East Tennessee State Teachers College in Johnson City from 1939 to 1941, at the University of Kentucky from 1941 to 1942, at State Teachers College in Superior, Wisconsin from 1942 to 1944 and then starting in 1944 at the University of Minnesota where he received his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1949.
In 1950, Nebergall was offered and took a position at Indiana University Department of Chemistry as an assistant professor. It was here that he was introduced to Joseph C. Muhler, DDS, who was working on Ph.D. in chemistry.
While Muhler was in dental school at IU he had begun research in the use of fluoride to reduce dental carries. It had been widely known that natural occurring fluoride in ground water could reduce or elimite dental caries based on studies performed early in the 1900s by the dentist Frederick McKay. Muhler began using samples of various fluoride salts that were produced by fellow IU chemists Frank C. Mathers and determined that stannous fluoride produced the most robust dental decay prevention.
During the course of the stannous fluoride research it was found that the dicalcium phosphate polishing agent in the dental paste readily absorbed fluoride making it unavailable for use in fighting cavities. Nebergall knew that heating the dicalcium phosphate to between 300 and 1100 degrees Celsius resulted in the structure being converted to calcium phyrophoshate which would not react with the stannous fluoride while keeping the polishing properties of dicalcium phosphate. This finding led to Nebergall's US patent number 2,876,166.

Fight Club was theatrically released on 15 December 2023 and received positive reviews from critics.
In North Chennai, Joseph and a drug peddler named Kiruba kills Joseph's brother Benjamin "Benji" as he warned them to stop their illegal activities. Kiruba frames Joseph for killing Benji and escapes punishment. Joseph gets released from prison, where he learns that Kiruba is now a politician and plots to finish him. Joseph befriends a football player named Selva, where he manipulates Selva and his gang to exact revenge against Kiruba for Benjamin's death.
Reel Good films announced their maiden venture titled Fight Club, which features Vijay Kumar in the lead role and Abbas A Rahmath in his directorial debut. The technical crew consists of music composer Govind Vasantha, cinematographer Leon Britto and editor P. Kripakaran.
The music and background score is composed by Govind Vasantha.
Fight Club was released theatrically on 15 December 2023.
The streaming and satellite rights of the film were acquired by Disney+ Hotstar and Star Vijay.
M. Suganth of The Times of India gave 3.5 out of 5 stars and described "Sasi's story is familiar, but the filmmaking makes the film engaging." Kirubhakar Purushothaman of The Indian Express gave 3 out of 5 stars and termed it as "bloody and slick where style precedes essence." Janani. K of India Today gave 2 out of 5 stars and noted "the technical aspects and performances as the major positives, but criticized the script and clichèd story."
Gopinath Rajendran of The Hindu wrote "Despite some impeccable action sequences, Vijay Kumar’s ‘Fight Club’ doesn’t live up to its true potential thanks to the wafer-thin plot and predictable writing." Bharathy Singaravel of The News Minute gave 2.5 out of 5 stars and described that "the film doesn’t quite manage to pull a coherent narrative and relays on its stylish execution." S. V. Harshini of Film Companion praised the "technical finesse", which actually saved the film from "narrative setbacks."
Siddarth Srinivas of OnlyKollywood rated 3.25 out of 5 stars and described "On the whole, Fight Club turns out to be a really good ‘boys action film’ that is worth watching for its action sequences. If we don’t mind the wafer thin plot, the film is one to spike up your adrenaline."

Dutch Masters of Motocross
|
The Dutch Masters of Motocross (DMoMX) is the premier domestic Dutch Motocross series, sanctioned by the Koninklijke Nederlandse Motorrijders Vereniging.
The series runs annually throughout spring each year and typically consists of 3-4 rounds. The premier classes are the 500cc and 250cc but there are also classes for younger riders on 125cc and 85cc motorcycles.
Up to the end of the 2015 season, the series was known as the Open Dutch Motocross Championship (ONK). The series was renamed in 2016 in a bid by the KNMV to increase the international status of the championship and attract more riders from the FIM Motocross World Championship. The ONK championship resumed in 2017 separately to the Dutch Masters of Motocross, with the series catering for national-level riders predominantly.
Under the original guise of the Open Dutch Motocross Championship, the first national motocross championship took place in 1949, running annually up until the end of the 2015 season. After a fall in the interest of international riders in competing in the series over the previous seasons, the national federation (KNMV) took the decision reconstruct the series from the 2016 season onwards.
This resulted in the renaming of the championship to the Dutch Masters of Motocross and the changing of the championship classes to the following:
In its opening season, the championship consisted of five events but in recent years it has had three events. Jeffrey Herlings and Kay de Wolf have been the most successful riders since the re-structuring of the championship in 2016, picking up four titles each.
Rounds of the Dutch Masters of Motocross typically have a single day format. Each class has a combined free and timed practice session in the morning, with the times from the timed practice session acting as the qualifying positions for the main races. Following on from this, all four classes have two races each, with the overall winner being the rider with the highest aggregate score from those races. The senior classes (500cc & 250cc) have 25 minute plus one lap races whilst the junior classes (125cc & 85cc) have 20 minute plus one lap races.
Points are awarded to finishers of the main races, in the following format:

Lego Fortnite (video game)
|
Lego Fortnite (stylized as LEGO Fortnite) is a open world survival sandbox video game, developed and published by Epic Games, in association with The Lego Group, within the game Fortnite. It was released on December 7, 2023, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
Before entering, players can select the Lego Fortnite game mode option while in the lobby. Upon doing so, the player's normal outfit, if compatible, will be converted into a minifigure. They can then select a world, with some options including turning on or off hunger, hostile mobs, and dying, as well as having the ability to invite up to eight players in a single world. After this is done and the game has started, players can roam around the map, and collect materials, such as wood, by punching trees, while also being able to build buildings and tools. They will also have to keep an eye out for enemy mobs, if this option was activated, such as spiders, wolves, and skeletons. When dealt with damage, players can heal themselves by consuming items such as pumpkins, corn, eggs, raspberries, meat, etc. Fireflies will also appear from time to time, and are unable to be caught due to their speed. Instead, players can follow them, which will lead to them discovering chests and loot llamas, the latter of which will explode with items after being pet.
On April 7, 2022, Epic Games announced that they had entered a partnership with The Lego Group, and while details were scarce, the two companies were working on creating a "metaverse" designed for younger audiences. As a result, Lego's parent company, Kirkbi A/S, invested $1 billion USD into Epic Games.
A year later on November 21, 2023, Lego uploaded a teaser to the social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), unveiling the Supply Llama from the game made out of Lego bricks, thus confirming that the collaboration was underway.
Over 1,200 outfits were converted into Lego minifigures during the game's original launch, with Epic Games confirming that more would be on the way by early 2024.
On December 20, 2023, YouTube personality MrBeast received a Lego style for his in-game outfit's re-release on the Item Shop earlier that day.
The preview for the game was first revealed during The Big Bang event on December 2, 2023 through the following day, alongside two other then-upcoming game modes, Rocket Racing and Fortnite Festival, with the game being released on December 7, 2023, for the majority of platforms supported on the base game.
Upon launch, the game reached over 2.4 million concurrent users, becoming the most popular game mode, by surpassing the player counts of Battle Royale, Rocket Racing, Fortnite Festival, and Save the World respectively.
The game has received generally positive reviews from critics, however has drawn heavy comparisons to Minecraft, another sandbox game which involves crafting items.
Phil Hornshaw of IGN gave it a rating of 7/10, saying that there was "a solid foundation here that developer Epic Games will surely build on over time" and noted that it felt "somewhat empty at launch", and went on by addressing its "thin" building aspects and lack of any real goals.
James Herd of Destructoid also brought up the game's target audience, believing that the mode was made to circumvent some concern over the other pre-existing modes' violence.

Nymphaea jamesoniana
|
Nymphaea jamesoniana is a species of waterlily native to the USA (Western Florida), Mexico, and tropical South America.
Nymphaea jamesoniana is a long-lived, perennial aquatic herb. The abaxial leaf surface is marked with short, dark purple, sometimes bifurcating lines.
The granulose, pilose, ellipsoid seeds feature trichomes in longitudinal, interrupted lines.
The diploid chromosome count is 2n = 28.
Stolons and proliferating pseudanthia are absent.
Water disperses the seeds (i.e. hydrochory).
It grows in various freshwater habitats, such as marshes, canals, shallow waters, flooded ditches, flooded flatwoods, ponds, slowly flowing streams, and lakes. It is intolerant of saltwater.
Nymphaea jamesoniana was first published by Jules Émile Planchon in 1852.
The type specimen was collected in Ecuador by Jameson.
It is placed in Nymphaea subgenus Hydrocallis.
The specific epithet jamesoniana honours the Scottish botanist William Jameson (1796-1873).
In Puerto Rico, USA it faces habitat destruction. The NatureServe conservation status is secure (G5). In Florida, USA it is considered to be endangered.
Nymphaea jamesoniana has been employed in the treatment of conditions such as irritated eyes, dysentery, and skin lesions. It has been utilized for its astringent properties. There are claims that its flowers possess narcotic properties. The Chorote people of Argentina use the rhizomes as food. Apart from the Chorote people, the rhizomes are also used by Wichi, Western Toba, and Pilagá.
It is suitable for cultivation in the USDA zones 9a - 10a.

Dykeius
|
Dykeius is an extinct genus of large shark in the family Chlamydoselachidae. It contains a single known species, D. garethi, from the Late Cretaceous Northumberland Formation of Canada. The genus and species names honor paleontologist Gareth J. Dyke.
It was a gigantic relative of the modern frilled shark (genus Chlamydoselachus). The teeth are much larger than those of any other known chlamydoselachid species, and comparison with modern frilled sharks estimates a total body size of at least 7 metres (23 ft).
As with modern frilled sharks, it appears to have inhabited a deepwater environment. It is one of several giant frilled sharks known from the Late Cretaceous, along with Rolfodon goliath and undescribed taxa known from teeth, suggesting that such large sharks were not uncommon. It may have been specialized to hunt large cephalopods such as certain belemnites and ammonites, and eventually went extinct due to the disappearance of its prey.

New Ross Town Hall
|
New Ross Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile Ros Mhic Thriúin), formerly known as The Tholsel, is a municipal building in Quay Street, New Ross, County Wexford, Ireland. The building, which was used as the local market house through much of its life, is now used as a civic building.
The building was commissioned by the local member of the Irish parliament and mayor of New Ross, Charles Tottenham. The site he selected had been occupied by the medieval market cross, which was erected in 1320. The foundation stone of the new building, which was inscribed to record the fact that it was laid on an anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, was laid on 1 July 1749. The building was designed by William Kent in the neoclassical style, built in ashlar granite and was completed in around 1750.
The design involved a symmetrical main frontage of five bays facing onto Quay Street. It was arcaded on the ground floor, so that markets could be held, with an assembly hall on the first floor. There were five openings with imposts, voussoirs and double keystones on the ground floor and five sash windows with architraves on the first floor. At roof level, there was a cornice, a parapet and three urns. There was also a two-stage cupola with a square first stage and an octagonal second stage with clock faces, all surmounted by an ogee-shaped dome and a weather vane.
The building, then referred to as the "Main Guard", was used by the loyalist forces as their headquarters for their successful defence of the town against an attack by 3,000 rebels during the Battle of New Ross in June 1798 during the Irish Rebellion. Following subsidence associated with the close proximity of the building to the River Barrow, it was substantially rebuilt to a design by John Robinson in 1806.
By 1837, the building was deemed too small for the sale of agricultural products and, instead, it was used for the sale of leather. The assembly room on the first floor was used by the borough council until New Ross Corporation was abolished under the Municipal Corporations (Ireland) Act 1840.
By the mid-19th century, the ground floor had been enclosed and converted into reading rooms. The town commissioners, appointed to administer the town at that time, decided to use the assembly room on the first floor as their meeting place. The building then became the offices and meeting place of New Ross Urban District Council when it was formed in 1900. A statue depicting a rebel pikeman, designed by the Reverend Edward Foran to commemorate the Irish men and women who had died in the Battle of New Ross in 1798, was unveiled outside the town hall by the Reverend Thomas Quigley on 28 June 1907.
A plaque to commemorate the life of the Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, James Warren Doyle, was installed above the front door and unveiled on the centenary of his death by the Provincial of the Order of Saint Augustine, Father Joseph Hennessy, on 16 June 1934. Following the death of the founder of the Pioneer Total Abstinence Association, the Reverend James Cullen, in 1921, another plaque was unveiled in his memory, in the spandrel above the windows on the right-hand side of the building. A further plaque, intended to commemorate the life of the rebel leader, Michael O'Hanrahan, who took part in the Easter Rising, was installed in the spandrel above the windows on the left-hand side of the building in the 1940s.
In June 1963, President John F. Kennedy visited the town to see where his ancestors had lived before emigrating to the US during the Great Famine. Following his assassination in November 1963, a bust of the former president was commissioned and installed in the town hall. The building continued to be used as the offices of the urban district council until 2002, and then as the offices of the successor town council, but ceased to be the local seat of government in 2014, when the council was dissolved and administration of the town was amalgamated with Wexford County Council in accordance with the Local Government Reform Act 2014.

Croesnewydd Hall
|
Croesnewydd Hall is a Grade II* listed building in Wrexham Technology Park, in the west of Wrexham, North Wales.
It was built in 1696 as a small mansion, with a farmhouse, possibly to the designs of Peter Ellice. It was purchased and renovated in the 1980s by Clwyd County Council into offices as part of the technology park to develop hi-tech services to assist the neighbouring medical institutions, such as Wrexham Maelor Hospital.
The brick building also houses a cafe in the adjoining glazed atrium.
Croesnewydd Hall is located in Wrexham Technology Park, within Offa, Wrexham. It serves as the centre-piece of the technology park. It is located next to Wrexham Maelor Hospital and other medical institutions such as a nerve centre.
It was built in 1696 as a small mansion and a farmhouse, replacing an earlier building. It was possibly designed by Peter Ellice, and was the second building built on the site. In c. 1985, it was extensively restored and extended. It was converted into generally offices, while also into a "medical technology and business development centre" by Clwyd County Council, who had purchased the building, to develop a hi-tech sector assisting the neighbouring medical institutions.
In 2016, a private medical practice located in the building and run by Grosvenor Medical, introduced 3D/4D pregnancy scanning. The School of Medical and Health Sciences of Bangor University is also connected to the building.
The Servery is attached to the hall, and has catering facilities, such as a kitchen. It is situated within a fully glazed atrium, which links the main parts of the hall with the NHS Medical Institute. In 2019, a cafe known as "The Atrium Cafe" was established in this part of the building.
The building's exterior is made of brick, with some stone dressings which include plinth and angle quoins. It is two-storeys, with a hipped slate roof, and internally has attics and a cellar (its attic could be classed as a third storey). The hall is arranged in a shallow U-plan, with its entrance facing the west, while its wings enclose a small courtyard to its east. There are symmetrical entrance fronts of five bays, while the outer two bays located either side are slightly very advanced, with hipped roofs which continue the main roof-line. The central entrance steps up in a bolection moulded doorcase, with a stressed architrave window located above the door. It has sash windows (possibly since its construction), with flat arched stone heads that have decorative keyblocks. In the basement, there are stone mullioned windows, while there are two hipped dormer windows on its roof. The return and rear elevations of the building have mainly mullioned and transomed windows, with sash windows being only on the return of the front rooms. It has side entrances, providing access to hallways located at a foot of a staircase to both sides of the building's interior. The stairs have intermediate height mullioned and transomed windows.
The building is an early example of a brick building in "this part of North Wales".
The building's entrance hall covers a central range, and either side there are principal rooms. The building's southern room has bolection moulded panelling, with dado, main panels and a cornice, on its walls, while its ceiling is of ribbed plaster with two lozenge panels, divided by a central beam. Dado panelling is also present in the room above, while panelling with unmoulded rails is in one of the upper rear rooms. The plan's symmetry has two dogleg staircases situated either side to the angle of the main range and rear wings, with the staircases rising to the entire building height. The principal stairs to the southern side, has turned balusters and a mounded closed string, with the secondary stairs to the north, having much more simpler details.

Swainsona dictyocarpa
|
Swainsona dictyocarpa is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae and is endemic to central areas of South Australia. It is a small erect perennial herb with imparipinnate leaves with 3 to 7 elliptic leaflets, and racemes of purple flowers in racemes of 2 to 6.
Swainsona dictyocarpa is an erect perennial herb, that typically grows to a height of up to 6 cm (2.4 in) and has gabrous stems. The leaves are imparipinnate, mostly 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) long with 3 to 7 elliptic leaflets, the leaflets 5–9 mm (0.20–0.35 in) long and 2–4 mm (0.079–0.157 in) wide on a petiole 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) long. There are lance-shaped stipules 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) long at the base of the petioles. The flowers are purple, arranged in racemes of 2 to 6 on a peduncle 25–100 mm (0.98–3.94 in) long with bracts 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) long at the base. Each flower is 8–10 mm (0.31–0.39 in) long on a pedicel about 2 mm (0.079 in) long, the sepals 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long and joined at the base with lance-shape lobes longer than the tube. The standard petal is about 10 mm (0.39 in) long, the wings about 8 mm (0.31 in) long and the keel 8 mm (0.31 in) long. Flowering usually occurs from June to October, and the fruit is a cylindrical pod 12–14 mm (0.47–0.55 in) long and 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) wide.
Swainsona dictyocarpa was first formally described in 1930 by John McConnell Black in the Transactions and Proceedings of the Royal Society of South Australia, from specimens collected by John Burton Cleland north of Lake Gairdner in 1929.
This species of pea grows in central South Australia.

Brokers of Deceit: How the U.S. Has Undermined Peace in the Middle East
|
Brokers of Deceit: How the U.S. Has Undermined Peace in the Middle East is a book about United States foreign policy and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict by the American-Palestinian historian and academic Rashid Khalidi. It was published in 2014 by Beacon Press. The book critically examines the role of the United States in the Israeli–Palestinian peace process.
Khalidi analyses three key moments in the recent history of the conflict: the Camp David Accords in 1978, the Madrid Conference of 1991, and President Barack Obama's retreat from his initially firm stance on the settlement issue in the early years of his presidency. Throughout the book, Khalidi argues that the United States, which claims to be an impartial broker of peace, is in fact heavily biased toward Israel. He uses the term "Brokers of Deceit" to describe how American officials have used doublespeak and obfuscation to manage a rhetorical commitment to peace while actually consolidating the status quo and undermining the potential for a just resolution to the conflict.
The author also discusses the influence of domestic politics and the powerful Israel lobby in the United States shaping U.S. policy in the Middle East. Khalidi contends that this consistent bias towards Israel has resulted in the entrenchment of occupation and has hampered the likelihood of achieving peace based on international law and recognition of Palestinian rights.

Isabelle Staude
|
Isabelle Philippa Staude (born 1982) is a German photonics researcher and Professor at the Friedrich Schiller Universitaet, Jena. Her research involves the creation of plasmonic nanostructures and metamaterials for the dynamic manipulation of light.
Staude was born in Germany. She was an undergraduate student in physics at the University of Konstanz. She moved to Karlsruhe Institute of Technology for her doctoral research, where she studied photonic band gap materials. She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Australian National University, where she started working on optica nanoantennas and plasmonic structures. She was Deputy Leader of the Australian Research Council centre CUDOS (Centre of Excellence for Center for Ultrahigh bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems).
Staude joined the Abbe Center of Photonics at the Friedrich Schiller Universitaet, Jena in 2015. Her early work considered functional photonic nanostructures, and was supported by an Emmy Noetherfellowship. She was made a professor in Photonic Nanomaterials in 2020.
Staude is interested in optically resonant dielectric metasurfaces, which can be used to manipulate the nanoscale properties of light. Metasurfaces were originally proposed as passive structures, but dieletric meta surfaces can be used for dynamic control of light, nonlinear optics and emission.
She has created tunable metadevices that can modulate transmittance electrically, which can be used to make more efficient and sustainable displays. In 2021 she started working alongside ANU on the development of holographic mobile phone displays.

In 2015, while playing for Procyon BK in the Swedish fifth division, Joseph came to Bangladesh to attend trials for the Bangladesh national team for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Although he impressed coach, Fabio Lopez, he was not added to the final squad as Lopez deemed he did not have time to add new players to the squad. Before returning to Sweden, Joseph was assured that he would be recalled to the national camp for the 2015 SAFF Championship.
In 2016, Joseph joined Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Club in the Bangladesh Premier League after failing two national trials. He was included in the squad for the 2016 AFC Cup, however, failed to make an appearance. On 21 August 2017, he made his Premier League debut during a 3–1 victory over Arambagh KS. Due to continuous injuries, Joseph departed the club and after a month long stint with Bangladesh Police FC he joined Vaksala SK in Sweden's fifth division in June 2020.
Joseph returned to Bangladesh by joining Brothers Union in the Premier League in December 2020. On 14 February 2021, he scored his first goal in Bangladesh against Mohammedan SC in a 2–1 defeat during a league fixture. In 2022, he joined Fortis FC in Bangladesh's second-tier, the Bangladesh Championship League. He only managed to make one appearance as Fortis secured the league title along with promotion, suffering a major injury following his debut against Gopalganj SC on 20 February 2022. While injured he worked as a junior coach in the Fortis FC Academy.

Christian Courier (Canada)
|
The Christian Courier is a Canadian monthly Christian newspaper. The editor-in-chief is Angela Reitsma Bick.
The periodical was established in August 1945 as the Canadian Calvinist, an English-language targeted at Dutch Canadians. Paul De Koekkoek was the founding editor. In 1951 it merged with Contact (a Dutch-language newspaper which had started in 1949) to become Calvinist Contact. Calvinist Contact was all in Dutch and this gradually developed to be all in English by 1983. It adopted its current name in 1992. At this point the circulation was 5,000, down from a peak of 10,000 in the 1970s. As of 2015, it had 2,100 print subscribers.
Christian Courier was originally bimonthly, changed to weekly in 1954, and monthly in 2020. It originally served the Christian Reformed Church community, and reported on issues such as trade unions, Christian education, and women in office.

HuCow
|
Human cow, or HuCow, is a BDSM subculture where people roleplay as dairy cows. Since the 2010s, it gained prominence through dedicated forums, fanart websites, and hentai repositories.
HuCow participants broadly consider themselves as cows or farmers. The cow is usually submissive and objectified by the farmer. Scenes are often centered around the farmer milking the human cow's breasts. Human cows are often portrayed with large-sized breasts or pecs, and as being able to lactate. A popular trope in HuCow are settings which emulate the cattle industry, with names like The Dairy Department. Besides breast lactation, bondage is also prevalent in HuCow, where the human cow is bound by a harness to emulate livestock crushes. A dominant partner can also be cattle. In that case, they are instead referred to as a bull or HuBull and often incorporate breeding fetish components in HuCow scenes. In the gay community, both milking the nipples and milking the penis of its semen are popular fantasies. HuCow is also related to pet play, but unlike conventional forms such as kitten play, it formed a more defined subculture with a less generic name.
Members of human cow communities also enjoy cosplay. Vendors on Amazon have started to offer products related to this community as the demand grew. Some accessories and costumes used by HuCows enthusiasts are:
The modern concept of HuCow emerged in the early 2010s, but hentai porn has portrayed similar scenarios beforehand. HuCow participants span across all sexual orientations. According to Justin Lehmiller, a research fellow at the Kinsey Institute, the fetish is popular with gay and bisexual man communities because it incorporates transformation fantasies and BDSM, both of which are well-represented in queer male communities. As of 2018, the dedicated HuCow subreddit had more than 23,000 subscribers and a popular HuCow Tumblr had more than 10,000 followers. Some porn studios are dedicated to HuCow, like hucows.com.
The 2018 Doja Cat single Mooo! is credited with rousing public interest in cow-branded apparel and cow-related fantasies.

Virginia Garner
|
Virginia Garner (1915–2007) was an American filmmaker who often collaborated with her husband, Ray Garner, on documentary and educational films worldwide. Among their most notable productions are films supported by the Harmon Foundation for the African Motion Picture Project.
Virginia Garner, known as "Jinny" was born in Brooklyn, New York, on March 18, 1915. Virginia and Ray Garner married in 1938. She and her husband has a daughter and son.
Several of the Garners' films supported by the Harmon Foundation are available at the Library of Congress and the National Archives. Reportedly, the Garners worked with the Harmon Foundation from 1938 to 1956. African Motion Picture Project, a series of films supported by the Harmon Foundation consists of a series of films shot in Central Africa for 18 months in the late 1930s to early 1940s. According to one writer, "The missionary films produced and sponsored by the Harmon Foundation’s Religious Motion Picture Foundation were meant for a Western audience to consume. It was the hope that this consumption would generate additional support for missionary work in Africa, and by extension, support for colonization." The Garners made Africans remove the clothes they wore so that they might look more primitive and thus in line with the expectations of American audiences.
The Garners took up residence in Idyllwild, southern California, in 1966. Virginia was made Trustee Emeritus of the Board of Governors and Trustees of the Idyllwild Arts Foundation for her contributions to the organization.

Brit Award for British R&B Act
|
The Brit Award for British R&B Act is an award given by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), an organisation which represents record companies and artists in the United Kingdom. The accolade is presented at the Brit Awards, an annual celebration of British and international music. Alongside the other genre categories, the winner of the award is selected by the British public. It was presented for the first time at the 2024 Brit Awards.
Following the removal of the gendered categories in 2021, it was announced that four new genre categories would be introduced that were voted for by the public. One of these cateogies, Best British Pop/R&B Act, was first presented at the 42nd Brit Awards alongside Rock/Alternative Act, Dance Act and Hip Hop/Grime/Rap Act).
In 2023, it was announced that the Pop/R&B category would be split into British Pop Act and British R&B Act and would be presented for the first time at the 2024 Brit Awards. The change followed criticism that the existing category did not fairly represent the genre and that R&B artists were less likely to be nominated against pop artists.
