Murder by Death (band)
|
Murder by Death is an American six-piece indie rock band from Bloomington, Indiana. Their name is derived from the 1976 Robert Moore film of the same name.
Murder by Death released its first studio album (Like the Exorcist, but More Breakdancing) in 2002, and has since released eight more studio albums. The band's current lineup consists of two founding members, Adam Turla and Sarah Balliet. Balliet plays cello for the band, an instrument that has been present consistently throughout the band's evolution. Murder by Death's 2012 album Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon reached #76 on the Billboard 200, making it the band's most successful release.
History
Early years (2000–2002)
Murder by Death was formed in 2000 in Bloomington, Indiana, by guitarist Adam Turla, cellist Sarah Balliet, percussionist Alexander Schrodt, keyboardist Vincent Edwards, and bassist Matt Armstrong. One of the group's first shows was at the Channing-Murray Foundation's cafe The Red Herring in Urbana, Illinois, with former American Football drummer Steve Lamos' solo project DMS. After the show, the head of the TEAM AV record label with which Lamos was working offered to help Turla and his bandmates secure additional shows. Around the same time the band met Thursday vocalist, Geoff Rickly, when the two bands played on the same bill at a gig in their hometown of Bloomington. Rickly introduced the band, known at the time as Little Joe Gould, to his friend Alex Saavedra (owner of Eyeball Records), who also took an interest in the band.
In 2001 the band self-released the eponymous Little Joe Gould EP and early the next year contributed the song "I'm Afraid of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" to the TEAM AV compilation Foreign Nationals. A short time later the group changed their name to Murder By Death, which they felt better represented their sound.
First works (2002–2006)
While still performing under the name Little Joe Gould, the band headed out on an 11-date tour stretching from California to Louisiana with the Chicago-based band Volta Do Mar. On this tour the band honed the songs for their debut album, which was recorded in several Chicago studios with Tim Iseler, then a guitarist with the TEAM AV-affiliated band Re:Rec. Both the tour and the recording engineer were arranged by the TEAM AV label, and the resulting Like The Exorcist, But More Breakdancing was released on Eyeball in August 2002. The band extensively toured behind the album with bands such as Cursive, Interpol, and The American Analog Set. In July 2003 the band released a split album with Volta Do Mar entitled Konrad Friedrich Wilhelm Zimmer in honor of the grandfather of the TEAM AV label owner who appears on the cover. Along with the song "Canyon Inn, Room 16" from the Little Joe Gould EP, Murder By Death also contributed "Knife Goes In, Guts Come Out" and the instrumental track "We Watch a Lot of Movies" alongside an alternative version of "A Masters in Reverse Psychology". Konrad Friedrich Wilhelm Zimmer was recorded with producer D. James Goodwin during sessions that would ultimately bear the release of Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them? in October. In December the band released a tribute 7" single for friend and musician Matt Davis of the band Ten Grand who had died earlier that year, before continuing to tour nationwide with Lucero, The Weakerthans, William Elliott Whitmore, and Rasputina.
"Those Who Left", from Like The Exorcist..., is an eight-minute instrumental, often played live in total darkness. This song is often paired with "Those Who Stayed," a shorter instrumental from the same album. This pairing, played during encores, is seen on setlists as "The Two Evils" or "Medley of Evil."
My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way provides guest vocals on Who Will Survive... track "The Devil in Mexico."
Thursday frontman Geoff Rickly provides guest vocals on the Who Will Survive... track "Killbot 2000."
William Elliott Whitmore provides guest vocals on the Who Will Survive... track "Until Morale Improves, The Beatings Will Continue." According to the band's website, he sang to them through a telephone while he was on the side of the road in Texas.
In Bocca Al Lupo (2006–2008)
Pianist Vincent Edwards left the band in 2004 in order to return to academia. Cellist Sarah Balliet added keyboard duties to her cello playing. More touring was followed by a stint back at school, during which time the band wrote their third album, In Bocca Al Lupo, which was released in May 2006 on their own label Tent Show Records, an imprint of East West Records. Vocalist/guitarist Adam Turla described the records's inspiration as coming from "a basic idea—sin, in the Dante/Divine Comedy sense—and doing 12 songs that were very unique and about different people." The title is an Italian good luck wish, literally translating as "in the mouth of the wolf" and therefore a likely nod to the language and subject matter of Dante's epic poem, which Turla was reading during the writing of the album. The record also resembles the 1976 murder mystery from which the band takes its name - a pastiche of bad deeds and of good intentions, heroism and forgiveness. Like its predecessor, In Bocca Al Lupo is a concept album, which also builds on the band's previous experimentation with unusual musical styles to include waltzes, jigs and gospel music. The songs are presented in the same Spaghetti Western theme as previous works, but Turla's vocals are sung in a new baritone range, which has been likened by many to that of Johnny Cash. The album was well received and touring continued through the summer of 2006, including headlining shows supported by Langhorne Slim.
Red of Tooth and Claw (2008–2010)
Red of Tooth and Claw, Murder By Death's fourth album, and first with Vagrant Records, was released in March 2008. Produced by Trina Shoemaker Recorded at Dark Horse Recording Studio and Mixed at East Iris Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, the record features former keyboardist Vincent Edwards on the song "Ball & Chain" and is also the first album to feature new drummer Dagan Thogerson, who replaced founding member Alex Schrodt. It continues with the band's trademark themes: "lust, betrayal, and classical archetypes of good and evil." In Turla's words, the record is an "Homer's Odyssey of revenge, only without the honorable character at the center." The vocals are again sung in the same low, baritone range as In Bocca Al Lupo causing a few critics to speculate that Red of Tooth and Claw breaks less new ground than previous efforts, although in general the album has been well received. As described by allmusic.com the album "carries over some of the Old West outlaw feel of its predecessor, but it's more aggressive and freewheeling here. [...] [The album] isn't a departure for Murder By Death, but their ability to keep their sound fresh and vibrant speaks well of their musical abilities." To celebrate the album's release, Murder By Death played two shows on the same night in their hometown of Bloomington.
The song "Comin' Home" from Red of Tooth and Claw was featured in a trailer for Quentin Tarantino's award-winning film Inglourious Basterds. It was also used in an episode of Sons of Anarchy.
Good Morning, Magpie (2010–2012)
On January 19, 2010, Murder by Death announced the pending release of their fifth full-length album, Good Morning, Magpie, on April 6 of the same year. Many of its songs were written by vocalist/guitarist Adam Turla during a two-week solo camping trip in the Great Smoky Mountains. Although it is not built around a unifying concept, like several of the band's previous albums, Good Morning, Magpie continues to draw on folklore for inspiration. The title track, as explained by Turla in an interview, is a nod to the superstition that the magpie "has a bit of the devil in him -- and if you don't greet the devil before he sees you he can steal a part of your soul."
After having been a touring member in the fall of 2010, multi-instrumentalist Scott Brackett (of Okkervil River fame) joined as a permanent member in May 2011.
Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon (2012)
On July 2, 2012, the band announced that their sixth album, Bitter Drink, Bitter Moon, would be released on September 25, 2012, on new label Bloodshot Records. The first single from the album, titled "I Came Around", was released on July 10. On July 11, they released a one-month project for $100,000 on Kickstarter. In total, it raised $187,048, making it the third highest music project on Kickstarter to date. The Canadian dates on the BDBM tour featured support from post-punk revival group Big John Bates.
Big Dark Love (2015)
On February 3, 2015, the band released their seventh album, Big Dark Love, on Bloodshot Records. A pre-sale of the album through Kickstarter raised $278,486.
The Other Shore (2018)
On June 1, 2018, the band announced that their eighth album, The Other Shore, would be released on August 24, 2018, on Bloodshot Records. The first single from the album, titled "True Dark", was released on June 26. A Kickstarter for the album raised $327,407.
Spell/Bound (2022)
On April 29, 2022, the band announced that their ninth studio album, Spell/Bound, would be released on July 29, 2022. The first single from the album, titled "Never Be", was released on May 13. A second single, titled "Everything Must Rest", was released on June 15. A presale of the album through Kickstarter raised $440,439, making it the 7th highest funded Kickstarted project in the music category at the time, surpassing The Other Shore at 11th.
Style
Murder by Death plays a range of music including instrumentals, rock, and alt-country. The band uses cello (with an electric cello for live shows) to create a gothic sound with occasional Western references.
The band often arranges themes such as whiskey and the Devil into concept albums. For example, the band's second album, Who Will Survive, and What Will Be Left of Them?, describes a story in which the Devil wages war against a small village in Mexico.

Zachęta National Gallery of Art
|
The Zachęta National Gallery of Art (Polish: Zachęta Narodowa Galeria Sztuki) is a contemporary art museum in the center of Warsaw, Poland. The Gallery's chief purpose is to present and support Polish contemporary art and artists. With numerous temporary exhibitions of well-known foreign artists, the gallery has also established itself internationally.
The word "zachęta" means encouragement. The Zachęta Gallery takes its name from Towarzystwo Zachęty do Sztuk Pięknych (Society for the Encouragement of the Fine Arts), founded in Warsaw in 1860.
History
Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts
Before 1860 there were neither public museums nor libraries nor other generally accessible institutions that allowed for exchange between artists. The repression that resulted from the November Uprising, made higher artistic education virtually impossible. The last major exhibition took place in 1845. After protests by artists during the 1850s, the Wystawa Krajowa Sztuk Pięknych (National Exhibition of Fine Arts) was approved in 1858, and lead to negotiations with Russian rulers who in the end permitted the foundation of the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts in 1860. The Society's statutes were set by artists and art experts. The first official meeting and the election of a board of directors took place on 13 December 1860. The board had twelve members, six artists and six art experts, and was elected annually. The members remained in office for at least one month but no longer than one year.
The primary aim of the Society was the dissemination of fine arts as well as support and encouragement of artists. Furthermore, its intention was to create general awareness of art among the Polish society. In 1860 the Society had 234 official registered members. Only one year later the number had increased to 1464.
Initially, all artworks were on display until they were sold. Soon enough that lead to crowded walls and a monotonous permanent exhibition. After fundamental changes made between 1900 and 1939, the permanent exhibition was shown only in addition to temporarily changing exhibitions.
The Society hosted annual salons, funded scholarships and offered other aid to young artists, both members and candidates.
The Building
First tenders for the design of a new building were put out in 1862. However, due to a lack of financial resources the plans were not realized. After the Society was given land by the municipality, another competition was announced in 1894, won by the Warsaw architect, Stefan Szyller. He presented an architectural design in neo-Renaissance style with classical elements. The portal is ornamented with allegorical figures and sculptural works by Zygmunt Otto. The architrave of the building is engraved with the Latin word Artibus.
Construction work began in 1898. In December 1900, the front building was officially opened followed by the opening of the south wing in 1903. Both the opening and extension of the building were exceptionally well reviewed. Szyller's plans originally included the construction of two more wings which could not be implemented at that time.
In 1958, the Ministry of Art and Culture decided to reconstruct the building. Surrounding houses had been destroyed during the war and thus, involuntarily, gave way to the extension of the building. The Warsaw architects, Oskar Hansen, Lech Tomaszewski and Stanisław Zamecznikow, were entrusted with the reconstruction, but the planned reconstruction was postponed.
In 1982, the reconstruction plans were taken up again and executed by the Shop for Preservation of Monuments. From 1991 to 1993, the reconstruction was supervised and executed by the company, Dom i Miasto (Home and City). The company was also responsible for the extension of the staircases inside the building, which allowed for direct access to the exhibition halls within the new part of the building. The resulting monumental perspective is emphasized by the Gladiator, a work by the Polish sculptor, Pius Weloński, which remained from the Society's former collection.
The extension of the building created a larger exhibition space, a storage facility for the artwork, an unloading platform and an office wing with a separate entrance. The largest exhibition hall was named after the Polish painter, Jan Matejko. Another room is named after Gabriel Narutowicz, the first president of the Second Polish Republic, who was assassinated at Zachęta on 16 December 1922 by Eligiusz Niewiadomski, a Polish painter and critic. To commemorate the president and Wojciech Gerson, one of the founders of the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts, two plaques were revealed during the gallery's anniversary celebrations in 2000.
Since its official opening in 1900, the Zachęta building has housed several institutions:
1900–1939: Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts
1939–1945: House of German Culture
1945–1989: Central Bureau for Art Exhibitions
1989–2003: Zachęta State Gallery of Art
since 2003: Zachęta National Gallery of Art
The Zachęta building was registered as a historical monument in 1965.
1939 to 1945
During the Invasion of Poland at the beginning of the Second World War almost all of the buildings surrounding the museum were destroyed while the Zachęta building remained comparatively undamaged. Following the Polish capitulation, German units occupied the building and converted it into the Haus der Deutschen Kultur (House of German Culture) which was mainly used for propaganda purposes. The Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts was dissolved. The artwork, as well as other documents belonging to the Society, were largely brought to the Muzeum Narodowe, or confiscated and sent to Germany. The transport took place on open trucks without any proper documentation. During the Warsaw Uprising the Zachęta building was heavily damaged by artillery and bombs and thus needed to be fully renovated at the end of the war. Traces of a flammable substance were found, suggesting that German units planned to set the building on fire before their withdrawal.
1945 to 1989
After the war, the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts was not reactivated. It was replaced by the Centralne Biuro Wystaw Artystycznych (Central Bureau for Art Exhibitions) which was founded in 1949 by the Ministry for Art and Culture at the request of the Association for Fine Arts, Poland. In 1951, the bureau began to host exhibitions. The first director (1949–1954) was Armand Vetulani.
The central bureau was responsible for the organisation of art exhibitions, and all other artistic activity, throughout the entire country. Branch offices were opened in Kraków, Katowice, Poznań, Łódź, Zakopane, Gdańsk, Szczecin, Wrocław, Olsztyn and Opole. Eventually, the Central Bureau for Art Exhibitions became the most important institution in the area of cultural policy.
The 1980s were characterized by radical political changes related to the declaration of martial law, leading to a boycott of all official galleries. In fact, the central bureau never really recovered from these drastic failures.
After 1989
The fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the Iron Curtain changed political circumstances fundamentally, and also affected the structure of the central bureau. Barbara Majewska, the director of the bureau, moved the bureau away from its former old and centralistic structures, andon May 30, 1994, the Central Bureau for Art Exhibitions was closed and turned into the Zachęta State Gallery.
In 2003, the Polish minister of culture, Waldemar Dąbrowski, renamed the gallery Narodowa Galeria Sztuki (National Gallery of Art).
Exhibitions
In 2000, the gallery marked its 100th anniversary with the exhibition, Polonia - Polonia. The exhibition included over 100 objects from different times and representing different types of media. All of the artwork presented national subjects.
In the same year, the gallery opened the exhibition Słońce i inne Gwiazdy (The Sun and other Stars) based on a survey taken in 1999. The survey was directed primarily to Polish art historians, critics and curators, and asked for the most important artists of the 20th century. The result was two lists: one presenting the most important Polish artists and the other presenting the most important foreign artists. Słońce i inne Gwiazdy exhibited ten of the elected Polish artists: Magdalena Abakanowicz, Tadeusz Kantor, Katarzyna Kobro, Roman Opałka, Henryk Stażewski, Władysław Strzemiński, Alina Szapocznikow, Witkacy, Witold Wojtkiewicz and Andrzej Wróblewski.
Also in 2000, the ten most important foreign artists were presented in another exhibit and consisted of Pablo Picasso, Francis Bacon, Joseph Beuys, Marcel Duchamp, Wassily Kandinsky, Andy Warhol, Kazimir Malevich, Salvador Dalí, Piet Mondrian and Constantin Brâncuși.
In 2000, the Swiss art historian, Harald Szeemann, curated an exhibition featuring Maurizio Cattelans, La Nona Ora (The ninth Hour). The artwork shows Pope John Paul II hit and buried by a meteor. As the influence of the Catholic Church in Poland still is very strong, the presentation of Cattelan's work led to a public scandal.
Permanent Collection
The collection began with a picture of Józef Simmler's Death of Barbara Radziwiłł. Objects have come mainly from donations and wills. At the end of the 19th century, the collection already comprised over one thousand items.
The permanent collection of Zachęta National Gallery of Art today comprises 3600 objects of which about 700 are paintings, almost 80 are video works and around 100 are sculptures and installations. In addition, the gallery owns an extensive collection of over 2600 works on paper such as graphic works, drawings and photographs. Polish artists from the 20th century, like Tadeusz Kantor, Henryk Stażewski and Alina Szapocznikow, are represented within the collection as well as Polish contemporary artists such as Mirosław Bałka, Katarzyna Kozyra, Zbigniew Libera, Wilhelm Sasnal and Krzysztof Wodiczko.
The works of the collection not only reflect the often complicated past of the institution, but also show the focus of the gallery. Today, it concentrates on works of contemporary Polish artists, both works that have been shown in the gallery and works which were produced in cooperation with the gallery. Some of these projects are exhibited in other locations, such as the Polish Pavilion at the Biennale in Venice. There is no permanent exhibition of the collection. The works either become integrated in temporary shows or are on loan for exhibitions in other Polish institutions or abroad.
Decisions about changes to the collection are made by the Commission for Purchases, Donations and Deposits, formed in 1990. Since 2008, the Department of Collections and Inventories is responsible for taking care of Zachęta's collection.
Gallery
Library
The Zachęta library includes:
Catalogues about Polish artists who are working in Poland and abroad, about foreign artists who are working in Poland, as well as catalogues about certain cycles of exhibitions. The catalogue collection is one of the most extensive in Poland.
Books about contemporary art and related subjects.
Magazines: Polish as well as foreign magazines about art in general.
The Department for Documentation archives the lives and works of Polish artists since 1945. In addition to biographical notes, there is a list of exhibitions the respective artists took part in as well as newspaper clippings and exhibition catalogues. The archive is accessible but can only be used on-site.
The gallery's bookshop is located on the ground floor of the building, offering catalogues, books and magazines of Polish and foreign artists as well as catalogues of exhibitions which took place at both the Zachęta and Kordegarda.
The gallery also runs a separate Pedagogy Department which is responsible for the organisation of lectures, meetings and talks with artists and art historians, concerts, guided tours as well as educational programmes.
Project Kordegarda
The Kordegarda Gallery (literally: guardroom) was founded in 1956 as a branch of the Zachęta and situated on Krakowskie Przedmieście in Warsaw. It was an additional exhibition space, directed and organised by Zachęta, yet to a certain extent independent with regard to its exhibition programme.
In 2010, the Kordegarda Gallery moved to Gałczynskiego street, just off the historic Ulica Nowy Świat (New World Street). While still directed by the Zachęta, the Kordegarda Gallery became more independent, devoting its attention to young artists, both Polish and foreign. The main idea is to present the artists within the context of urban structures and emphasize the cooperation of artist and gallery. In fact, the exhibition room is just as important as the art within, which is why every artist is asked to work individually with the exhibition room and design the artwork, especially for the given space.
Currently, the Zachęta is updating both the concept and programme of the Kordegarda Gallery.
Controversies
In the past, the influence of the catholic church in Poland was demonstrated by the censoring of various exhibitions due to blasphemy.
In December 2000, the Polish right-wing politician Witold Tomczak damaged Maurizio Cattelan's sculpture, La Nona Ora, and prompted the dismissal of director, Anda Rottenberg. In a letter addressed to the prime minister, Tomczak denounced Rottenberg, suggested that she should curate "rather in Israel than in Poland", and then demanded the dismissal of the "civil servant of Jewish origin". He also proposed prosecution due to violation of religious sentiments.

Viuda e hijas de Roque Enroll
|
Viuda e hijas de Roque Enroll was an Argentine all-female band formed in 1983 in Buenos Aires. It was part of the renewal movement of Argentine rock (Spanish: rock nacional; "national rock") that occurred after the return to democracy in 1983, along with other "fun" and upbeat acts such as Los Twist, Los Abuelos de la Nada, Virus and Soda Stereo
History
Claudia Sinesi and Maria Gabriela Epumer met in 1978, and played together in a garage band. Epumer joined the cover band Rouge in 1982, and proposed that Sinesi joined it as well. The band broke up when the military junta forbade music in English language, as their set list was composed completely of covers of English-speaking bands. Sinesi and Epumer stayed together, and Mavi Diaz proposed them to start an all-girls band. Their first long play was released in 1984, with songs such as "Potpourri (Olla podrida)", "Te Encargo mi Modernidad" and "Bikini a Lunares, Amarillo, Diminuto, Justo Justo", a cover of Brian Hyland's single Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polkadot Bikini. The second long play included a popular cover of the song "Lollipop".
The third album had lower sales, and the records label went into bankruptcy, leading to the break up of the band. The band reunited for concerts along the years.

Mariners Apartment Complex
|
"Mariners Apartment Complex" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey for her sixth studio album Norman Fucking Rockwell! (2019). She wrote the song after a late night walk with her then partner, while they were reaching an "apartment complex". Produced by Del Rey and co-writer Jack Antonoff, it combines country, psychedelic folk, and soft rock over a balladic production. Lyrically, the narrator assures her lover of constant support and guidance in their beautiful yet problematic relationship. The song was released as the lead single from the album on September 12, 2018, by Polydor and Interscope Records.
Critics lauded "Mariners Apartment Complex" for its songwriting, production, and Del Rey's vocals. It was listed as one of the best songs of 2018 by Consequence of Sound and Rolling Stone. The song entered on the national charts in Australia, Croatia, France, Hungary, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Release
On September 7, 2018, Del Rey announced that she would be releasing two new songs, with "Mariners Apartment Complex" being released the following week. She subsequently shared a snippet of the song and its accompanying music video, which was shot by her sister, Chuck Grant. The song was released on September 12 after premiering on BBC Radio 1. In an interview preceding the premiere, Del Rey stated:
"The song is about this time I took a walk late at night with a guy I was seeing, and we stopped in front his friend's apartment complex, and he put his hand around my shoulder, and he said "I think we are together because we're both similar, like we're both really messed up" and I thought it was the saddest thing I'd ever heard. And I said, "I'm not sad, I didn't know that's why you thought you were relating to me on that level, I'm actually doing pretty good". And he was upset, and that's when I wrote the song. I thought, I had to do so many times, where you know like I had to sort of step on that role where I was showing the way and I was sort of being the brighter light. But that's why it's so cool that you’re playing it. 'Cause I thought that I'd just put it out and it would be one of those things that I'd put out just to have there for myself, but it's cool being able to share it with people too."
Music video
A music video for "Mariners Apartment Complex" was released on September 18, 2018, six days after the song's release. The video was filmed by Del Rey's sister, Chuck Grant.
Composition
"Mariners Apartment Complex" was characterized by Rolling Stones Ryan Reed as a folky psychedelic song. Pitchfork critic Marc Hogan described the song as "a somber 1970s-style rock ballad with piano, acoustic guitar, and swooping strings." Mark Beaumont of NME called it "a classically Del Rey smoulder of silken acoustic country music and orchestral washes."
Critical reception
The song received widespread acclaim from music critics. Billboards Starr Bowenbank wrote that the song "features Del Rey's lush vocals against a beautiful backdrop of country-influenced guitar work, with her singing in wondrous whispers and dreamy layered harmonies about a beautiful, yet tumultuous, romance." In a review for Pitchfork, Marc Hogan stated that the song "posits a Lana Del Rey who is not only a fully rounded character but also a port in a storm, as recognizable and reassuring as the old AM radio staples the song updates." Rolling Stones Brittany Spanos opined that the song "feels like a spiritual sequel" to Leonard Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel #2", stating that "Negating her earliest works, growing out of her previous attitudes and forsaking the image of the Good American Girl looking for a figure to make her feel wanted, desired and cool, this Del Rey has 'become the daddy.'" Anna Gaca from Spin noted that Del Rey "asks your understanding... your forgiveness... your grace... and in return, she offers everything: her power as a cypher and her vulnerability as an individual, bottled up tight in the character of Lana Del Rey and cast into the waves."
Critics' lists
Rolling Stone and Consequence of Sound ranked "Mariners Apartment Complex" at number 6 and number 29 on their respective lists of the 50 Best Songs of 2018.

2012 Washington State Senate election
|
The 2012 Washington State Senate elections took place on November 6, 2012. Twenty-five of Washington's forty-nine state senators were elected. Each state legislative district has one senator elected to a four-year term, but state senate elections alternate so that about half of the senators are elected in presidential election years (e.g., 2008, 2012) and the other half are elected in non-presidential even numbered election years (e.g., 2010, 2014). A top two primary election on August 7, 2012 determined which candidates appear on the November ballot. Candidates were allowed to self-declare a party preference.
25 seats were regularly scheduled to be up this cycle, along with 1 additional seat holding a special election to fill an unexpired term: the 46th district, held by appointed Senator David Frockt, whose former incumbent Scott White vacated the seat.
Democrats gained the 5th district seat and Republicans gained the 10th and 25th district seats for a net gain of one seat for the Republicans. While the Democratic Party won a majority of the seats in the election, two Democratic senators joined the Republicans to form the Majority Coalition Caucus on December 10, 2012, giving Republicans an effective majority of seats.
Overview
Composition
On December 10, 2012, two Democratic Senators joined in a coalition with the Republican Caucus to form a conservative majority, called the "Majority Coalition Caucus".

Victor Zâmbrea
|
Victor Zâmbrea (1924, Reni, Ismail county, Romania – 2000, Chişinău, Moldova) was a Bessarabian painter.
Early years
Victor Zâmbrea was born in 1924 in Reni, Ismail county, Bessarabia, Romania. In 1936, he finished the Gymnasium (Junior High School) in native Reni, and graduated from the Evening Lyceum (High School) in Bucharest in 1940. In 1941, he enrolled in the School of Fine Arts, Bucharest. In 1963, he graduated from the University of Popular Art in Moscow. He was a member of the Union of Plastic Artists of the Moldovan SSR.
In 1942, he voluntarily enrolled in the Romanian Royal Navy's School of Scuba diving in Constanţa.
Anti-communist activity
In November 1944, he was arrested by the Soviet NKVD, and sent to an NKVD filtration point in Chişinău. Released in June 1945, he went to Izmail, where he joined the anti-Soviet resistance group "Vocea Basarabiei" (). In May 1948, he was arrested for Romanian propaganda activity. He succeeded to escape from his prison, and changed his name to Dumbrovschi.
Victor Zâmbrea then established himself in Chişinău, and made contacts with an anti-Soviet resistance group in the city. In the evening of 6 July 1949 he was arrested within the course of Operation Yug of mass deportation of ca. 40,000 civilians of the Moldovan SSR to Siberia and northern Kazakhstan. Soon afterwards, interrogation and investigation of his identity started. He was accused in virtue of Article 58 of the Russian SFSR (on the grounds that the investigation was being carried in Russia, not in Moldova) of "anti-Soviet propaganda, and [being a] traitor of the Soviet people". The March 1953 amnesty decree after the death of Joseph Stalin saved him from capital punishment by execution squad. A year later he obtained a transfer to the city of Tyumen to work under guard as painter in the Railroad Club.
Post detention years
Following his release in 1958, he settled in Chişinău, where he worked as a painter in the University Central Store. Until his retirement in 1984, he also worked as a painter for the Fund of Plastic Arts in Chişinău. Since 1954, his works have participated in various expositions.
In 1994, he opened a personal exposition "Bessarabian Romanians deported to Siberia" in Chişinău. His works are found in private and public collections in Paris, Bucharest, Moscow, Kyiv, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Buenos Aires, Montreal, Riga, Vilnius, Timișoara, Braşov, Odesa, Mykolaiv, Tumen, Novokuznetsk, Esentuki, Sighetu Marmaţiei.

Philip Saffman
|
Philip Geoffrey Saffman FRS (19 March 1931 – 17 August 2008) was a mathematician and the Theodore von Kármán Professor of Applied Mathematics and Aeronautics at the California Institute of Technology.
Education and early life
Saffman was born to a Jewish family in Leeds, England, and educated at Roundhay Grammar School and Trinity College, Cambridge which he entered aged 15. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1953, studied for Part III of the Cambridge Mathematical Tripos in 1954 and was awarded his PhD in 1956 for research supervised by George Batchelor.
Career and research
Saffman started his academic career as a lecturer at the University of Cambridge, then joined King's College London as a Reader. Saffman joined the Caltech faculty in 1964 and was named the Theodore von Kármán Professor in 1995. According to Dan Meiron, Saffman "really was one of the leading figures in fluid mechanics," and he influenced almost every subfield of that discipline. He is known (with his co-author Geoffrey Ingram Taylor) for the Saffman–Taylor instability in viscous fingering of fluid boundaries, a phenomenon important for its applications in enhanced oil recovery, and for the Saffman–Delbrück model of protein diffusion in membranes which he published with his Caltech colleague and Pasadena neighbour Max Delbrück. He made important contributions to the theory of vorticity arising from the motion of ships and aircraft through water and air; his work on wake turbulence led the airlines to increase the minimum time between takeoffs of aircraft on the same runway. Saffman also studied the flow of spheroidal particles in a fluid, such as bubbles in a carbonated beverage or corpuscles in blood; his work overturned previous assumptions that inertia was an important factor in these particles' motion and showed instead that Non-Newtonian properties of fluids play a significant role.
Along with his many research papers, Saffman wrote a book, Vortex Dynamics, surveying a field to which he had been a principal contributor. Russel E. Caflisch writes that "This book should be read by everyone interested in vortex dynamics or fluid dynamics in general."
Awards and honours
Saffman was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1986, and the recipient of the American Physical Society's Otto Laporte Award. His nomination for the Royal Society reads:
Personal life
Saffman was survived by his wife (Ruth Arion whom he married in 1954), three children (Mark, Louise, Emma), and eight grandchildren (Timothy, Gregory, Rae, Jenny, Nadine, Aaron, Miriam, Alexandra and Andrey.

Sony α6000
|
The Sony α6000 (model ILCE-6000) is a digital camera announced 12 February 2014. It is a mirrorless interchangeable lens camera (MILC), which has a smaller body form factor than a traditional DSLR while retaining the sensor size and features of an APS-C-sized model. It is targeted at professionals, experienced users, and enthusiasts. It replaced the NEX-6 and NEX-7. Review websites note that although the α6000 uses a 24 MP sensor like the Sony NEX-7, the Sony α6000 can also be seen as more of a replacement of the Sony NEX-6. In the Firmware version 1.10, an android subsystem was added. The sub system was used to run Sony's apps.
At the time of its release, the Sony α6000 was advertised featuring the "world's fastest autofocus" with lag of 0.06 second and 11 fps continuous shooting with tracking AF. Its MSRP is $700 with a 16–50 mm power-zoom kit lens f/3.5-5.6.
Despite the announcement of an updated model in February 2016, the α6300, Sony has said they will continue production of the α6000.
Compared to its predecessor, Sony NEX-6
The Sony α6000 was released one and a half year later, and has a slightly different shaped body than the NEX-6. The α6000's body silhouette is almost like a perfect rectangle. They use the same sensor size, but the α6000 has a 24 megapixel resolution, which is a 50% higher resolution, than the 16 MP NEX-6. The alpha model has an extra physical control dial, compared to the NEX model. The newer model has a slightly faster burst rate (11 fps vs 10 fps) and has almost twice as many autofocus points (179 vs 99), which makes it a lot more capable of sports photography. The α6000 also offers Near-field communication and smartphone remote control over Wi-Fi, which the NEX cannot do. The SD card slot supports UHS-I in the α6000 whereas the NEX-6 doesn't support any UHS standards. But there is one aspect which is a bit indistinctive and better in the older model: The NEX-6 has a 63% higher resolution electronic viewfinder than the α6000 (2,359,000 dots vs 1,440,000 dots).
Compared to its other predecessor, Sony NEX-7
The NEX-7 was introduced in 2011 and has a more rounded body, than the 3 years newer α6000. They use the same, 24 MP image sensor, but the noise performance is better in the newer model, thanks to the better processor. It also offers a higher maximum sensitivity (25,600 vs 16,600). The biggest difference is the autofocus: The NEX-7 only has 25 focus points, the α6000 has 179, so it's a lot more accurate and also faster. The burst rate is the same as the NEX-6 in the NEX-7, (10 fps), the α6000 can shoot a tiny bit faster continuously (11 fps). Similarly to the NEX-6, there is no NFC, Wi-Fi remote control or UHS memory card support in the NEX-7, but the α6000 has these features. The Alpha model is 56g lighter than the NEX. However, there is also one aspect, which the NEX-7 is clearly better, than its successor, and this is the fact, it has a microphone jack input, which is present in the NEX, but the α6000 lacks it for some reason. In terms of buttons, they have a different layout, but there are the same dials and buttons on the two cameras.
Popularity
The Sony α6000 proved to be an extremely popular camera. By early 2016, it was reported to be the best-selling interchangeable-lens camera in the over-US$600 price range as well as the best-selling mirrorless camera of all time.
Firmware updates
Firmware version 1.10, released on 30 October 2014, added faster start up time and support for the "Smart Remote Control" Play Memories application.
Firmware version 1.20, released on 26 March 2015, improved images captured on new lenses and added a few minor enhancements.
Firmware version 1.21, released on 6 April 2015, fixed an error in version 1.20 and improved lens performance.
Firmware version 2.00, released on 16 June 2015, enabled video capture with the XAVC S codec to support high Bit Rates.
Firmware version 3.10, released on 17 March 2016, optimized lens performance (applied to the lenses releasing after 2016 March).
Firmware version 3.20, released on 26 July 2016, optimized lens performance (SEL-70200GM).
Firmware version 3.21, released on 19 March 2019, improved stability of the AF operation.
Mobile phone application update 2019
There is an application (Image Edge Mobile) which allows a user to control the Sony A6000-A6500 camera. The application also allows a user to transfer photos over wireless to the user's mobile phone.

Tymion
|
Tymion (Greek: Τυμίον) was an ancient town in Phrygia, Asia Minor (in today's Uşak Central District, Uşak Province, Aegean Region). Its site is located at the Turkish village of Şükraniye. From the middle of the 2nd century CE to the middle of the 6th century CE, Tymion was an important town for the ancient Christian church of Montanism. The Montanists, whose church spread all over the Roman Empire, expected the New Jerusalem to descend to earth at Tymion and the nearby town of Pepuza; Pepuza was the headquarters of Montanism and the seat of the Montanist patriarch. One of the founders of Montanism, Montanus, called both towns "Jerusalem." In late antiquity, both places attracted crowds of pilgrims from all over the Roman Empire. Women played an emancipated role in Montanism. They could become priests and also bishops. In the 6th century CE, this church became extinct.
Since 2001, Peter Lampe of the University of Heidelberg has directed annual archaeological campaigns in Phrygia, Turkey. During these interdisciplinary campaigns, together with William Tabbernee of Tulsa, numerous unknown ancient settlements were discovered and archaeologically documented. Two of them are the best candidates so far in the search for the identification of the two holy centers of ancient Montanism, Pepuza and Tymion. Scholars had searched for these lost sites since the 19th century.
The archaeological site at Şükraniye (Karahallı area) that Peter Lampe identified as Tymion was already settled in late Bronze and early Iron Ages. It flourished in Roman and Byzantine times as a rural town where predominantly tenant farmers lived. They worked on an imperial estate and were often oppressed by travelling magistrates or imperial slaves. In a petition, the farmers asked for help from the emperor. The emperor Septimius Severus wrote back that his procurator would support the farmers. The imperial rescript is preserved on an inscription.

I Make Hamburgers
|
"I Make Hamburgers" is a song by The Whitlams. It was first released to radio in February 1995 as the band's debut single. It was released on CD single in November 1995 as the first single from their second album, Undeniably.
The song was number 79 in the 1996 Triple J Hottest 100, a ranking of songs voted for by Triple J listeners. It was included on the compilation CD for that year.
Reception
The Guardian said the song was, "the closest to a novelty song the Whitlams have. Hollering 'more sauce!' during live performances ranks up there with 'no way, get fucked, fuck off' in the pantheon of Australian music call and responses. But underneath the fun, it still has heart: a burger-flipping lothario who just likes giving girls the world."

LaTourette was uncontested in the primary, and won the general election with 68% of the vote. Her district included most of Geauga County and the northern part of Portage County. She resigned on May 5, 2019, to accept the job as executive director of the nonprofit Ohio Family and Children First.
Bills against abortion
LaTourette is an ardent opponent of abortion, and worked for two years as a lobbyist for anti-abortion organizations. LaTourette introduced Bill 214 to the Ohio House of Representatives in 2017, prohibiting "anyone from performing or inducing an abortion if that person has knowledge that the diagnosis or test result indicating Down syndrome in an unborn child is the reason for seeking the abortion [and] Violation of the statute would be a fourth-degree felony and would result in the State [of Ohio] Medical Board revoking a physician’s license."

Grassa (restaurant)
|
Grassa is a restaurant with multiple locations in the Portland, Oregon metropolitan area, in the United States. The original restaurant opened in Southwest Portland in 2013; subsequent locations have opened in Northwest Portland's Northwest District, in Southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood, and in Vancouver, Washington.
Description and history
Grassa was established by chef Rick Gencarelli. Eater Portland Brooke Jackson-Glidden has described Grassa as "a casual, kid-friendly pasta shop with turntables playing old records and bowls of noodles named for [Gencarelli's] kids". The original Grassa (sometimes called "West End Grassa") opened in Southwest Portland's West End neighborhood in 2013.
A second location, nicknamed "Grassa Vol. 2", opened in Northwest Portland's Northwest District in 2016. Grassa's third location opened near the intersection of Hawthorne and 15th Avenue in Southeast Portland's Buckman neighborhood around December 31, 2019.
Another location opened along Vancouver Waterfront Park, in Vancouver, Washington.
The business has confirmed plans to operate at the Portland International Airport. Gencarelli has also planned to open Grassa restaurants in Lake Oswego, Oregon, as well as Japan.
Reception
Chris Onstad of the Portland Mercury wrote, "The offerings at Grassa are robust, and often intense. This isn't a feather on a fulcrum, it's a barbell, and it's remarkably balanced. For that, as well as for price and quality, it's highly recommended for a casual meal." In her review for the Portland Tribune, Anne Marie DiStefano said, "Grassa is a good ambassador, a place where someone with average pasta expectations can be pleasantly surprised by the high quality of everyday, affordable food in Portland."
In his 2016 review of the Washington Street location, Willamette Week Matthew Korfhage wrote, "Like an old punk rocker who now works in marketing, craft-pasta spot Grassa has aged surprisingly gracefully. The restaurant's rough edges—unpredictable tunes at unpredictable volume, dining-room staff with occasional kitchen manners—have become idiosyncratic elements in a machine that's now quite well-oiled." Eater Portland contributors have included Grassa in lists of "15 Primo Italian Restaurants in Portland" (2018) and "16 Quintessential Restaurants and Bars in Slabtown" (2019).

Kingstree Star
|
The Kingstree Star was a weekly newspaper published in South Carolina's Williamsburg District (Williamsburg County after 1868) from 1855 until approximately 1878, with stops and starts in between, for the American Civil War (publication was suspended from 1861 until 1866) and due to financial challenges. About a dozen individual issues survive in American newspaper archives.
Description
The Kingstree Star was a 23-inch by 32-inch, four-page newspaper published on Wednesdays, with a circulation of between 300 and 650 subscribers. In 1916 an old copy of the Kingstree Star from 1872 was described as having typography that compared favorably to other papers of its time, and having "a great scarcity of local advertisements," with Charleston merchants heavily represented instead. In 1872 an annual subscription cost . The newspaper's motto was Be steady in a noble end, and show mankind that Truth has still a friend.
History
The Kingstree Star was the first newspaper published in the Williamsburg District. The Star was founded in 1855 by partners Gilbert & Darr using a printing press from the Sumter Banner, which had been folded into the Sumter Watchman. The press and other surplus materials from the Banner were hauled the from Sumter to Kingstree by wagon since there were not yet any connecting rail lines. The paper was then sold and resold, and in 1856 was acquired by Richard Columbus "Lum" Logan. Logan served as editor, with his brothers Texas Logan and Calhoun Logan "as the printing force." Publication was suspended in January 1861 due to forthcoming unpleasantness: The Charleston Daily Courier reported, "Our spirited contemporary the Kingstree Star of Williamsburg is under temporary suspension—occultation by Mars—editors, foreman and compositors are all in arms and now near this city. Our exchanges and readers interested, will accept this explanation for an interruption, which we trust will be short." Publication of the Kingstree Star resumed in spring 1866.
In 1868, ex-South Carolina governor Benjamin Franklin Perry commended the Kingstree Star for being the only paper in the state bold enough to endorse his editorials opposing the Reconstruction Acts. In January 1868, publication of the Kingstree Star was suspended. Publication must have resumed because it was again suspended in July 1874. Samuel W. Maurice, an attorney and Confederate veteran, purchased the Kingstree Star in October 1874. Maurice was shortly "forced to give it up...on account of his health." Maurice's association with the Kingstree Star ended in 1878. In 1878 it was reportedly to be revived by "Mr. James S. Heyward, editor and proprietor of the Orangeburg Taxpayer. The Star will be edited by D. B. Gilland, a young lawyer of Kingstree." Heywerd was the editor of the Kingstree Star and Eagle at the time of his 1879 testimony before the U.S. Senate about Stephen A. Swails and the racial/political climate of the county. The paper changed hands several times after that, and was published intermittently; successors were entitled The Williamsburg Herald, and The Star and Herald.
Editorials written by Logan in 1871 during the Reconstruction Era were said to have "flayed" state legislators. An 1876 report in an Ohio paper on South Carolina politics called the Star one of the "bitterest sheets in the state." Another account described it as having been known as a "staunch Democratic newspaper."
In 1933, "Several ancient copies of the Kingstree papers were found recently by Mrs. Wilmot S. Gilland, who is a granddaughter of the Mr. Logan the editor." As of 2023, only 13 individual issues of the Kingstree Star are known to exist in holdings spread across four American libraries.
Editor
R. C. Logan (1832–1904) was the youngest signer of the South Carolina Declaration of Secession. He served as a first lieutenant with the Wee Nee Volunteers of the 1st (Hagood's) South Carolina Volunteers regiment of the Confederate States Army. In later life he was always known as Colonel Logan "gaining by courtesy his higher military title by reason of his high-toned chivalry and ideals of community service." A history of Williamsburg County published in 1923 states that, Logan edited the Star "for a number of years during the dark days of reconstruction...He was very active and powerful in fighting the carpetbagger administration in South Carolina, and was one in Williamsburg who never forgave the usurpers." In 1875 Logan was hired as editor of the Greenville Enterprise and Mountaineer of Greenville, South Carolina. He returned to Kingstree in 1885 as the founder of the Williamsburg County Record newspaper, which persisted as the major county newspaper for another 50 years.

Kepínski (crater)
|
Kepinski is a lunar impact crater on the Moon's far side. It lies to the northwest of the larger crater Vernadskiy, and northeast of Meggers. Its name comes from Polish astronomer Felicjan Kępiński.
Kepinski has an outer rim that is marginally eroded due to subsequent impacts, especially along the southwest side. The inner walls are relatively featureless, sloping down to the interior. The floor is prominently occupied by a concentric, bowl-shaped crater. This feature is offset slightly to the northwest of Kepinski's midpoint. The diameter of this concentric feature is less than half that of Kepinski, although it also has a small outer rampart.
Satellite craters
By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Kepinski.

The following year, he was commissioned into the Royal Engineers as a second lieutenant in October 1947. He proceeded to matriculate to Magdalene College, Cambridge in 1948. While studying at Cambridge, he played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club from 1949 to 1950, making 21 appearances; amongst these were two appearances in The University Match against Oxford University at Lord's. Described by his contemporary Oliver Popplewell as "a good all-rounder", he took 39 wickets for Cambridge at an average of 35.38; he took one five wicket haul, with figures of 6 for 100 against Gloucestershire in 1950. As a batsman, he scored 772 runs for Cambridge at an average of 28.59; he made three half centuries and one century, a score of 160 opening the batting against Worcestershire in 1949. His final appearance in first-class cricket came for Hampshire against Worcestershire at Dudley in the 1950 County Championship.
Rimell later undertook post-graduate studies in the United States at the Harvard Business School. From there, he went into business and was later director of the steel firm Firth Cleveland. Rimell died on 18 October 2007 at Sonning, Berkshire.

John Weale (publisher)
|
John Weale (1791 – December 18, 1862 in Maida Vale) was an English publisher of popular scientific, architectural, engineering and educational works.
Life
He went into the trade first with George Priestley in St Giles, London who died around 1812, and worked then with Priestley's widow. He took a particular interest in the study of architecture. In 1823 he issued a bibliographical Catalogue of Works on Architecture and the Fine Arts, of which a new edition appeared in 1854. He bought the architectural publishing business at 59 High Holborn built up by Isaac Taylor and his son Josiah Taylor as The Architectural Library, after Josiah's death in 1834.
He followed the Catalogue in 1849–50 with a Rudimentary Dictionary of Terms used in Architecture, Building, and Engineering, a work which reached a fifth edition in 1876.
Weale died in London on 18 December 1862.

Weale's Rudimentary Series
Weale was on good terms with many men of science, and published cheap literature for technical education. His Rudimentary Series (over 130 works, usually selling at one shilling) and other educational series comprised standard works, both in classics and science. They were suggested initially by William Reid, and were continued after his death, first by James Sprent Virtue. The Rudimentary Series was later followed by the Weale's Scientific & Technical Series (1881-1923), published first by John Weale and then by Crosby, Lockwood and Son.
Source: Lists at end of the publications. The series was later taken on by the publisher Crosby Lockwood, who added volumes while retaining the system of reference numbers (across editions).
One of John Weale's earliest books published was Steam Navigation, Tredgold on the Steam Engine Appendix A which was edited and published under direction from Thomas Tredgold himself. Steam Navigation, Tredgold on the Steam Engine, Appendix A was printed by W. Hughes, King’s Head Court, Gough Square.
Its value in August 1839 was twelve shillings.

Montgomery Advertiser
|
The Montgomery Advertiser is a daily newspaper and news website located in Montgomery, Alabama. It was founded in 1829.
History
The newspaper began publication in 1829 as The Planter's Gazette. Its first editor was Moseley Baker. It became the Montgomery Advertiser in 1833. In 1903, Richard F. Hudson Sr., a young Alabama newspaperman, joined the staff of the Advertiser and rose through the ranks of the newspaper. Hudson was central to improving the financial situation of the newspaper, and by 1924 he owned 10% of its stock. Hudson purchased the remaining shares of the company in 1935, and five years later he bought the Alabama Journal, a competitor founded in Montgomery in 1889. Ownership of the Advertiser subsequently passed from Hudson's heirs to Carmage Walls (1963), through Multimedia Corp. (1968) to Gannett (1995).
Grover C. Hall, Jr. (1915–1971) worked at the paper from age 20 and served 15 years as editor after World War II. He allied with the politician George C. Wallace in 1958. In 1975, the newspaper investigated the shooting of Bernard Whitehurt by police and wrote news stories that questioned the original police reports.[5] To counter claims that newspaper was fabricating stories, publisher Harold E. Martin took and passed a polygraph.[5]
The Alabama Journal continued as a local afternoon paper until April 16, 1993, when it published its last issue before merging with the morning Advertiser. The Advertiser is the largest of the 22 daily newspapers published in Alabama.
Civil rights and race relations
While the Advertiser opposed secession in 1861, after the Civil War it aligned itself with the cause of white supremacy.
According to a 2018 review by the Advertiser itself, from 1883 to the early 1900s the paper covered the region's frequent lynchings ambivalently. While it nominally condemned the mob murders of black people, its coverage assumed that the victims were guilty of crimes, such as a 1919 editorial that held that "as long as there are attempts at rape by black men, red men or yellow men on white women there will be lynchings". Consequently, the paper's proposals on how to address lynchings focused on how the accused could more efficiently be legally executed instead. It also tended to be more concerned about how lynchings might be treated by Northern papers than about the crimes themselves. In an editorial published on the occasion of the 2018 opening of the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, the editorial board recognized the paper's "own shameful place in the history of these dastardly, murderous deeds", acknowledging that the paper's "careless" coverage of lynchings was "wrong".
The newspaper won the first of its three Pulitzer Prize awards under the direction of Grover C. Hall (1888–1941), who came to the Advertiser in 1910 and served as editor from 1926 until his death. The Advertiser waged war on the Ku Klux Klan during the 1920s, and became nationally prominent for its coverage and editorial stance. Hall later argued for release of the black Scottsboro Boys. Nonetheless, by the 1950s, the paper's coverage of the civil rights movement was "indifferent and antagonistic", often criticizing civil rights activists and their goals.
In 2004, Wanda Lloyd became the Advertisers first black executive editor.
Awards
The newspaper has earned numerous state, regional and national awards, including three Pulitzer Prizes:
1928: Grover C. Hall, Editorial Writing, for "his editorials against gangsterism, floggings and racial and religious intolerance."
1970: Harold E. Martin, Investigative Reporting, for "his expose of a commercial scheme for using Alabama prisoners for drug experimentation and obtaining blood plasma from them."
1988: Staff of The Alabama Journal, General News Reporting, for "its compelling investigation of the state's unusually high infant-mortality rate, which prompted legislation to combat the problem."
In 1995, the Montgomery Advertiser was recognized by the Pulitzer Prize for work that probed management self-interest, questionable practices, and employee racial discrimination allegations in the SPLC.

2014 Chhattisgarh sterilisation deaths
|
In November 2014, 15 women died after undergoing mishandled sterilization operations performed in the Indian state of Chhattisgarh. In addition to the 15 deaths, 70 women were hospitalized in critical condition, 20 of whom were put on mechanical ventilation.
Background
Each of the women was paid to undergo the procedure. Reports have differed on how much, with some saying the amount was 1,400 rupees, while others said it was 600. The government of India sometimes pays women to be sterilized in order to curb population growth in the country.
Sterilisations
On November 8, 2014, Dr. R. K. Gupta and an unnamed assistant carried out tubectomies on around 140 women in two different camps in Pendari, Bilaspur district. He was then honored by the Chhattisgarh government for carrying out the record number of sterilizations.
However, the women fell ill on November 10, 2014, two days after the surgery. By that night, eight of them had died, and their deaths were announced the following day. By November 13, 2014, 13 deaths were reported with seventy hospitalized and some admitted in AIIMS.
Investigation
S.K. Mandal, the chief medical officer in Chhattisgarh, suggested that the doctor who performed the operations was under pressure to meet government-set targets for a number of sterilizations that had to be performed.
According to an unnamed medical official, by performing 83 sterilizations in six hours, the doctor had breached guidelines requiring surgeons to perform no more than 30 sterilizations per day. The unnamed doctor reacted by saying that the women were well when they left the hospital. In a telephone interview, he attributed their vomiting and abdominal pain to antibiotics they had been given. Mandal described the doctor in question as a "very senior and respected surgeon".
The exact cause of the deaths remains unclear. According to Amar Singh, the deputy health director of Chhattisgarh, the women appeared to have died from either blood poisoning or hemorrhagic shock.
The leader of the investigation, police inspector S.N. Shukla, said that preliminary investigations suggested that the deaths were caused by either contaminated equipment or adulterated medicines. According to district medical officer M.A. Jeemani, results of autopsies performed on some of the women who died suggested that the administration of tainted medicines might have caused the women's deaths. On November 15, two senior Chhattisgarh officials stated that tablets of ciprocin that had been linked to the deaths contained zinc phosphide, a chemical often used in rat poison. This conclusion arose from a preliminary report, and samples of the tablets have been sent to other laboratories for verification. The company responded to this finding by releasing a statement which said that information about the incident had been exaggerated, denying that the pills they produced were contaminated.
Arrests
After being condemned by Chief Minister Raman Singh, on 12 November, Dr. Gupta was arrested and subsequently suspended. He said, "It was not my fault - the administration pressured me to meet targets. The surgeries went well but the problem was with the medicines given to the women." The case was presided over by Mahadev Katulkar.
On November 14, 2014, the Director of Mahawar Pharma, the company that supplied medicines used in the sterilizations, was arrested and charged with fraud, and the company's drugs were banned from consumption.
Response
Chief Minister Raman Singh blamed negligence for the incident, and as a result, four health officials were suspended by the state, including the district's chief medical officer. The government promised to pay the equivalent of about $6,600 to each of the affected families.
Unnamed local health officials denied any responsibility for the deaths, with some suggesting added pressure from the government to perform many operations in a short space of time. Chhattisgarh Health Minister Amar Agarwal said that the government has banned six unnamed medicines for such operations pending the investigation.
A team of doctors from All India Institute of Medical Sciences reached Bilaspur to probe the incident. Few other surgeons from the neighboring state of Andhra Pradesh were called on to assist in this crisis.

Allen Arena
|
Allen Arena is an indoor arena at Lipscomb University in Nashville, Tennessee. The arena was named in honor of James C. and Linda Allen, the facility's primary benefactors. James Allen is a member of the board of trustees for the university and worked for the university at one time. The arena is primarily used for basketball and volleyball athletic events and is also used for daily chapel services and occasional concerts.
Facilities
Other than hosting athletic events and on campus convocations, the arena hosts many events such as dinners, concerts, area-wide worship services, and graduations (the university and Nashville surrounding high schools). The facility has been host to events such as the annual Minnie Pearl Cancer Foundation Concert, bringing entertainers such as former Vibe host Sinbad, Dana Carvey, and Jay Leno.
Besides being the home of Lipscomb sports teams, it served as the home of the now-defunct Nashville franchise, the Nashville Rhythm, in the revived American Basketball Association. It was also the home of the Music City Stars, an American Basketball Association team during the 2009-10 season.
History
The Allen Arena opened on October 28, 2001, with a local worship service called "In His Hands". The Arena and adjacent parking garage was the site for the school's old McQuiddy Gym name after J.C. McQuiddy Part of the McQuiddy Gym was retained along with the adjacent Student Activities Center (SAC). Yearwood Hall, a women's dormitory, was torn down for construction of the arena.
In the first Lipscomb Bisons home game at Allen Arena, Bison Clayton Osborne made an inbounds shot from three-quarters of the court away. With no time remaining, the ball fell through the net, giving the Bisons a 78-77 victory over the North Texas Mean Green.
The arena hosted the 2008 and 2009 Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball tournaments.
Due to the damage incurred to the Grand Ole Opry House during the May 2010 Tennessee floods and because the Ryman Auditorium was unavailable, Allen Arena hosted the June 5 and June 15, 2010 editions of the Grand Ole Opry. In October 2013, the arena held the nationally televised 44th GMA Dove Awards for the Christian music scene.
Capacity
Arena seating capacity is between 4,000 and 5,000 depending upon the purpose for which it is being used, and is officially given as 5,028, which is the capacity in the format typically utilized.

Working People's Art Class
|
The Working People's Art Class (WPAC), founded by Edward Rupert Burrowes in 1945, was the first established art institution in the colony of British Guiana, now the country of Guyana.
A number of well-known Guyanese artists were taught at the WPAC.
Foundation
Burrowes started to lead Working People's Free Art Classes in 1945 and formally founded the WPAC organization in 1948.
The name drew the attention of the British authorities, who were concerned that the classes might be a front for a communist organization. They sent two detectives to join the class and see what was going on. One of them, Inspector John Campbell, became interested in drawing and painting and continued with the WPAC, later participating in exhibitions.
By 1947, there were 86 students enrolled in the free WPAC, which had started in Georgetown in April that year.
Operation
The WPAC was an institution in which common working people could develop their artistic skills.
As well as teaching the people art history and appreciation, the WPAC contributed to developing a national consciousness, an awareness of the country and its peoples.
It was funded by businesses and institutions.
Burrowes was the only teacher, and gave classes on traditional Western artistic methods to anyone who chose to attend in whatever space he could find.
The British Council became interested in the WPAC, and provided help in the form of £50 worth of art materials annually, materials that could not otherwise be obtained in British Guiana, as it was then.
The WPAC put on annual shows.
In 1954 its exhibition of paintings and sculpture had contributions from the WPAC and from the Guianese Art Group, the Friday Art Club and the Young Contemporaries' Art Club, as well as from one or two individual artists.
The WPAC continued until 1956, and was housed at Queen's College.
Influence
The WPAC helped a number of Guyanese artists at the start of their career.
In 1947 Donald Locke attended a Working People's Art Class taught in Georgetown by Burrowes, which inspired him to take up painting.
Locke later contributed regularly to WPAC exhibitions, and became a secretary or assistant to Burrowes in the early 1950s.
Stanley Greaves was another Guyanese artist who attended the WPAC as a teenager and later became well known.
Emerson Samuels was another artist who studied at the WPAC.
The painter Aubrey Williams studied with E. R. Burrowes in the Working People's Art Class after returning from a two-year term with the Agriculture department in which he had lived with indigenous people in the jungle.

Wanchese, North Carolina
|
Wanchese () is a census-designated place (CDP) on Roanoke Island in Dare County, North Carolina, United States. It was named after Wanchese, the last known ruler of the Roanoke Native American tribe encountered by English colonists in the sixteenth century. The population was 1,642 at the 2010 census. Today, Wanchese is the center of commercial fishing and boatbuilding on the Outer Banks.
The residents of Wanchese are governed by the Dare County Board of Commissioners. Wanchese is part of District 1, along with Manteo, Roanoke Island and Manns Harbor.
Geography
Wanchese is located at , and on the southern end of Roanoke Island.
According to the United States, the CDP has a total area of , of which is land and (14.26%) is water.
History
Also see: History of Roanoke Island
Archeological evidence shows that Wanchese was the site of the first fishing village on Roanoke Island. Indigenous people inhabited the area 1500 years ago, and their various cultures used this site for fishing for 1100 years. They also collected oysters and shellfish from nearby beds in the Sound.
What is called the Tillett Site (after the last owners) had been occupied originally when it was still part of the mainland, during the entire Archaic Period (8000-1000 BC). After the sea levels rose and it became an island, the saline conditions of the Sound became established, giving rise to the later indigenous fishing culture, including that of the historic Roanoke tribe.
Three later periods of occupation were identified:
Mount Pleasant component, beginning around 400 and ending around 800;
Colington component, the prehistoric manifestation of the Carolina Algonkian culture, from 800 to 1650; and
Historic period component, related mostly to the Green family use of the site as a farmstead from c. 1884 to 1910/20. There was also fishing in this area.
During the first two periods, the Tillett site was a seasonal settlement. The Roanoke came to it from the mainland to fish and collect shellfish. At the time of English exploration, the Algonquian-speaking Roanoke tribe used the site for seasonal fishing. Their main town was on the western shore of Croatan Sound.
After permanent English colonization in the 1650s, the site continued to be used for fishing by the Anglo-Americans. During the 19th century Wanchese had the only light-house on Roanoke Island, called Marshes Light, which has since been reconstructed in Manteo. In the 1980s, it was to be redeveloped for a major commercial fishing port and seafood processing facility.

Derrick Jensen

Derrick Jensen (born December 19, 1960) is an American ecophilosopher, writer, author, teacher and environmentalist in the anarcho-primitivist tradition, though he rejects the label "anarchist". Utne Reader named Jensen among "50 Visionaries Who Are Changing the World" in 2008, and Democracy Now! says that he "has been called the poet-philosopher of the ecology movement".
Jensen is a critic of the mainstream environmental movement's focus on preserving civilization and technology over preserving the natural world. He specifically challenges the lifestyle changes and individualistic solutions broadly advocated, considering them drastically inadequate to the global scale of environmental catastrophe. Instead, he promotes civil disobedience, radical activism, and dismantling infrastructure on a massive level in order to halt what he has called "the murder of the planet".
Jensen is a founder and leader within Deep Green Resistance; his and the organization's belief that women-only spaces should exclude trans women has led to accusations of transphobia.
Jensen lives in Crescent City, California.

Roel Paulissen
|
Roel Paulissen (born 27 April 1976 in Hasselt) is a Belgian former professional mountain biker. Throughout his sporting career since 1993, he has won more than ten Belgian national championship titles, mounted top-five finishes at both the European and World Cup series, and claimed a total of four medals, including two golds, in men's cross-country race at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships. Paulissen also represented his nation Belgium in four editions of the Olympic Games (1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008), where he competed in men's mountain biking since it officially became an Olympic sport in 1996. By the start of the 2010 season, Paulissen had been overshadowed by a doping issue after he tested positive for clomiphene that sidelined and effectively ended his mountain biking career. Having lifted a two-year suspension from doping in early 2013, Paulissen came out from his short retirement to join and race professionally for the Italian team Torpado.
Racing career
Early years
Born and raised in Hasselt, Paulissen discovered and started cycling at the age of sixteen, when he purchased his first ever mountain bike. He took part in numerous regional and local races across Belgium, and soon joined the Ghislain Cycles Club by the following year. In the summer of 1994, Paulissen surprisingly earned his first trophy under the junior category at the Belgian Championships. Because of his exquisite talent and prowess in the sport, Paulissen offered a spot to train and race professionally for the Dutch team called the American Eagle two years later.
International career
Paulissen officially made his international debut for Belgium at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, where he finished seventeenth in the inaugural men's cross-country race with a time of 2:33:53.
At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Paulissen could not match his best possible ride from Atlanta with a nineteenth-place effort in the same program, posting an official time of 2:16:54.
In 2001, Paulissen became an elite professional rider by officially signing an exclusive, two-year sponsorship contract with Italy's Rainer Wurz MTB Team, and then capped off his season by mounting four top-ten finishes at the UCI World Cup series. With a sudden departure of his teammate and Olympic silver medalist Filip Meirhaeghe because of a doping issue, Paulissen continued to refurnish and penetrate Belgium's cycling success by earning his first World Cup triumph in Houffalize, and a prestigious bronze medal in men's cross-country race at the 2003 UCI World Championships in Lugano, Switzerland. Strong results landed him a place on the Siemens Mobile-Cannondale pro cycling team, followed by his short stint with Belgium's Jong Vlaanderen 2016 at the start of the 2004 season.
While competing for his third Belgian squad at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Paulissen scored a career-high, fourth place in the men's cross-country race with a time of 2:18:10, finishing just off the podium by more than a minute. In that same year, Paulissen managed to earn another triumph on the second stage of the UCI World Cup series in Houffalize, and eventually edged out his teammate Meirhaeghe to take home the overall silver medal in the final round of the circuit. In 2005, Paulissen took a year off from mountain biking after he was suddenly stricken with rib injuries, fever, and acute bronchitis that prompted his decision to skip from the World Cup series and the Belgian Championships.
In 2006, Paulissen left his team Jong Vlaanderen 2016 for health reasons and long absence to join the Netherlands' Cannondale-Vredestein. He also capped his successful season by collecting the bronze medal in men's marathon race at the UCI World Championships in Oisans, France. A year later, Paulissen continued to flourish his ample success in mountain biking by reclaiming the Belgian national championship title, and later adding a silver to his career hardware at the UCI World Championships in Verviers, trailing behind Switzerland's Christoph Sauser by more than five minutes.
Paulissen won his first Absa Cape Epic in 2005 with team member Bart Brentjens. He then came back again in 2007 with new partner Jakob Fuglsang, placing 2nd place overall. The team then competed in the marathon stage race again in 2008, this time claiming 1st place after 2 stage wins.
2008 season
Paulissen started his 2008 season by defending the men's cross-country race title at the Belgian Championships and by taking part in the Roc d'Azur MTB Marathon tournament, where he registered two more triumphs in the process. In July, Paulissen grabbed his first major success in men's marathon race at the UCI World Championships in Villabassa under a more controversial decision. With only 70 meters left to go, Paulissen held off a sprint duel match against Switzerland's Christoph Sauser for a spectacular finish, until they suddenly made contact with their handlebars and arms near the barrier and then both crashed. Being the first man up after hitting the tarmac hard, Paulissen reluctantly carried his broken bike towards the finish, while his rival Sauser remounted his lead to cross the line first, but ended his campaign with a protest. After the race, the UCI officials decided that Sauser was relegated to second place for riding "dangerously" in the sprint and instead Paulissen was declared the World champion with a time of 4:46:56. Following his controversial triumph, Paulissen admitted, "I am very happy with this success. Unfortunately, this great race in the area where I live ended this way, but I think the jury was right."
Twelve years after his official Olympic debut, Paulissen qualified for his fourth Belgian squad, as a 32-year-old and a cycling team captain, in the men's cross-country race at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by receiving one of the nation's three available berths for his team from the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), based on his top-ten performance at the World Cup series, World Championships, and Mountain Biking World Series. He successfully completed a 4.8-km sturdy, treacherous cross-country course with a nineteenth-place effort in 2:03:30, radically shortening his chances to climb the Olympic podium on his fourth bid.
Post-Olympics
Paulissen started the 2009 season by claiming his tenth Belgian national championship title, and by signing an exclusive, two-year sponsorship contract with Germany's Cannondale Factory Racing pro team. He also defended his men's marathon race title and rainbow jersey at the UCI World Championships in Graz, Austria with a time of 4:34:46, edging out the home nation's Alban Lakata on another tight, sprinted duel match by fifty-one seconds.
On 16 July 2010 Paulissen had been overshadowed by a doping issue after he tested positive for a banned hormone substance clomiphene, mainly used to avert infertility problems. Breaching the team's clear anti-doping policies, Cannondale Factory Racing team had decided to end its sponsorship with Paulissen and consequently drop him off the roster. Moreover, he ordered a two-year suspension from the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) for failing the doping test, missing a chance to defend his Belgian national championship title and pursue for his fifth Olympic bid. With an immediate effect from an issue, Paulissen shortly and suddenly ended his sporting career.
Having lifted a two-year doping suspension in November 2012, Paulissen announced his official comeback from a short retirement to join and ride for Italy's Torpado Surfing Shop Team at the start of the 2013 season.

Mark Churella
|
Mark Churella, Sr. (born c. 1957) is a former American wrestler and collegiate wrestling coach. He was a three-time NCAA national champion from 1977 to 1979. He served as the head wrestling coach at UNLV from 1979 to 1984. He has been inducted into the University of Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor (1996) and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame (1999) and was the 2012 recipient of the Bob Ufer Award for outstanding service to the University of Michigan Athletic Department.
Early years
Churella was raised in Farmington, Michigan. As a student at Farmington High School, he was selected as a High School All-American in wrestling in 1975 and finished third, second, and first in the state, respectively, in his final three years in High School. He has been inducted into the Farmington High School Sports Hall of Fame.
University of Michigan
Churella attended the University of Michigan where he was a member of the Michigan Wolverines wrestling team from 1976 to 1979. As a wrestler at Michigan, Churella compiled a record of 132–13; his .910 winning percentage is the second highest in University of Michigan wrestling history. He won the NCAA national championship in the 150-pound weight class in 1977 and 1978 and the national championship in the 167-pound weight class as a senior in 1979. He was selected four times as a collegiate wrestling All-American and was also named the most outstanding participant in the 1978 NCAA Division I wrestling championships. Churella also received the 1979 Big Ten Medal of Honor for proficiency in scholarship, athletics and community service. When he graduated from the University of Michigan in 1979, Churella was the school's all-time record-holder in career wins (132), career falls (41) and single-season wins (44). Churella's collegiate success foreshadowed his qualification for the 1980 Summer Olympics, but the US' boycott of the event prevented the opportunity.
Coaching career
After graduating from Michigan, Churella served as the head wrestling coach at UNLV from 1979 to 1984. While holding that position, Churella established the Las Vegas Collegiate Invitational Tournament, later renamed the Cliff Keen Invitational. After UNLV discontinued its wrestling program, Churella returned to the University of Michigan as an assistant coach from 1985 to 1987.
Later years
Churella later went into the insurance services business and became the president and CEO of FDI Group, in Novi, Michigan. Three of his sons, Mark, Jr., Ryan and Josh were wrestlers at the University of Michigan. Churella returned to the program as an assistant coach from 2007 to 2008. Son Josh Churella joined the Michigan Wolverines wrestling coaching staff in 2012.
Churella was inducted into the University of Michigan Athletic Hall of Honor in 1996 and the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in 1999. He was also a charter member of the Michigan Wrestling Hall of Fame. In 2012, he received the Bob Ufer Award for outstanding service to the University of Michigan Athletic Department.

Marianne Rosenberg
|
Marianne Rosenberg (born 10 March 1955) is a German Schlager music singer and songwriter.
Personal background
Rosenberg is of Roma and Sinti background. Her father, Otto, an Auschwitz death camp survivor, was an activist on Roma and Sinti issues. Her sister, Petra, also advocates for Roma issues.
Career
Rosenberg's musical career was consolidated throughout the 1970s with hits such as "" ("Stranger"), "" ("He belongs to me"), "" ("I am like you") which was later sampled by Blue Adonis on their track "Disco Cop", "Marleen", and "" ("Songs of the Night"), often making appearances on TV and radio.
She is considered one of the most successful performers of German Schlager of the last four decades. She was one of the first German singers to introduce disco in the German music market with "Ich bin wie du". Her career underwent another revival in 1989 with the hit song "I Need Your Love Tonight" from the soundtrack ("Racetrack Rivals"), written by Dieter Bohlen.
Eurovision Song Contest
"" was a finalist in the competition to select a Eurovision Song Contest entry for Germany in 1975 but only placed tenth, even though the song became one of Rosenberg's biggest hits. Rosenberg's attempts to sing in Eurovision took a surprising turn in 1976 when she was shortlisted to represent Luxembourg with the song "". Although it did not win, it went on to be a German hit under the title "". In 1978, Rosenberg competed in the German heats again, and this time placed seventh with "" ("No, I Won't Cry"). Her 1980 entry "" ("I'll Be There If There Is a Storm") was not as successful, finishing twelfth (and last). Rosenberg's final challenge for Eurovision was in 1982 with the song "", a ballad which took eighth place.
Rosenberg also achieved chart success in other European countries, including Austria and the Netherlands. She is also considered a gay icon in several countries, such as the Netherlands and her native Germany.
Continued success
In 2004, Rosenberg re-released Marleen in a remixed version and with a new promotional video. The single reached number 33 on the official German Charts as compiled by Media Control. The follow-up single "" reached number 77. Both singles were taken from her 2004 disco-flavoured album , which reached number 12 on the German album charts, and consisted of remakes of her hits from the 70s.
In 2008, Rosenberg released her first jazz and chanson album, I'm a Woman.
In 2011 she released her first album with new music since Himmlisch in 2000. With Regenrhythmus she was trying to change her sound from being a German Schlager singer to a more modern sound. She was involved in the production of the album and received positive reviews for the result. The album reached number 29 on the German charts.
It wasn't until 2020 when Rosenberg released her next album. With Im Namen der Liebe she made it to the number 1 spot of the German album charts for the first time in her career. She released a Jubiläums Edition of the successful album later in 2020, which contained a second CD with remixes and new songs.

Release
The film was shown at the Method Fest Independent Film Festival on June 17, 2001.
Reception
Dave Lukens of The Dove Foundation gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Overall, this is a great film."
Robert Koehler of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote, "If only the storytelling in helmer Jefferson Davis’ and co-writer Kari Skogland’s script of John John in the Sky had half the aching beauty and resonance of lenser Joel Daavid’s color-saturated images of a bygone rural South, this family drama would be a bracing experience. As it is, tale of a man recalling his coming of age plays like a false piece of dress-up Americana, its humanistic aims undermined every step of the way. Despite presence of country star Randy Travis, this slice of Dixie will fade quickly after modest fest exposure."
TV Guide gave the film a mixed review: "Although this convoluted father-son drama doesn’t always gel, it contains many affecting moments."

Charles Knott
|
Charles James Knott (26 November 1914 – 27 February 2003) was an English first-class cricketer. Knott was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm off-break and right-arm medium pace.
Early life
Knott was born in Southampton and educated at Taunton's School, where he developed first as a footballer before turning to cricket. On leaving school he went into his father's fishmonger's business; his father, Charles Knott senior, was an important figure in Southampton during the 1930s, having built the Banister Court Stadium for greyhound racing and motor-cycle racing alongside the county cricket ground. Within a year or so of going into the business, Charles junior was in charge of the fishmonger's.
Despite his work for the family business, he found time for cricket on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, and soon began to turn in excellent performances bowling medium-pace for Deanery, in the Southampton League. He also helped Phil Mead's son to operate the scoreboard at the County Ground.
Cricket career
Knott made his first-class debut for Hampshire in the 1938 County Championship against Kent. Knott represented Hampshire in 16 first-class matches before the Second World War and a further 150 from 1946 to 1954. Knott's final appearance for the county came in the 1954 County Championship against Kent at the County Ground, Southampton.
In his 266 matches for the county, Knott scored 1,023 runs at a batting average of 6.95, with a high score of 27. Knott's poor batting record was due to the fact he was primarily a bowler and as such batted as a tailender.
Employed as a bowler, Knott was a consistent bowler taking 647 wickets for the county at a bowling average of 23.53, with 44 five wicket hauls and 8 ten wicket hauls in a match, with best bowling figures of 8/26 against Cambridge University in 1951. The 1946 season was Knott's best with the ball, during which he took 122 wickets at an average of 18.47, with 12 five wicket hauls, 3 ten wicket hauls in a match and best figures of 7/36. It could be said that Knott never had a poor season with the ball, with him taking 100 wickets in a season in 1946, 1948, 1949 and 1950. In addition Knott took 57 catches in the field.
In addition to playing first-class matches for Hampshire, Knott also represented Marylebone Cricket Club, making his debut for the club in the 1951 season, during which he played twice for the club against Yorkshire and Surrey. Knott's final first-class match in 1957 came for the club in a match against Scotland at Mannofield Park. Knott took 19 wickets for the club at an average of 11.15, with two five wicket hauls and best figures of 8/38 against Scotland.
Knott also played first-class cricket for the Gentlemen in the Gentlemen v Players fixtures of 1946 and 1950, where he took 8 wickets at an average of 25.12, with one five wicket haul of 5/66 in the 1950 fixture. Knott also played single first-class matches for the Over 32s and the Rest of England.
Legacy
Knott died at Southampton, Hampshire on 27 February 2003. A housing estate near the old county ground at Southampton, built on the site of the speedway stadium, was named "Charles Knott Gardens", in tribute to both father and son.

Swap Execution Facility
|
A Swap Execution Facility (SEF) (sometimes Swaps Execution Facility) is a platform for financial swap trading that provides pre-trade information (i.e. bid and offer prices) and a mechanism for executing swap transactions among eligible participants.
Swap Execution Facilities are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. The regulated trading of certain swaps is a result of requirements in the United States by the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (in particular Title VII). Financial swaps have traditionally been traded in over-the-counter (OTC) markets. However, regulatory changes have driven reporting, clearing, and settlement functions to SEFs, which are much more tightly regulated. The SEF-execution mandate responds to one of the four derivatives-related European Union, have proposed similar changes in swap market structure but none have yet been adopted.
As of October 2, 2013, any swap listed by a SEF may be traded by the parties on the SEF, but may also be traded off-SEF in any other lawful manner. The swaps that must be traded on SEFs are both subject to a CFTC-centralized clearing mandate and have been determined to be "made available to trade" (MAT) by at least one SEF. Four categories of interest rate swaps and two categories of credit default swaps are currently subject to clearing mandates.
Regulation
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is responsible for regulating dealing and trading in security-based swaps, such as many equity swaps and credit default swaps. Proposed rules for security-based Swap Execution Facilities (SB-SEFs) have been pending since 2011.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is responsible for regulating the dealing and trading of a much wider range of over-the-counter derivatives, including interest-rate swaps, commodity-linked swaps and certain FX, credit default swaps, and equity swaps. CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton suggested that the primary benefits will be greater transparency, improved price formation, and better regulatory compliance. The CFTC's final SEF rules went into effect in August 2013 and the first SEFs began operating in October 2013. Previously operating swap trading platforms with multiple-to-multiple trading capability within the regulatory definition of "swap execution facility" could no longer operate legally without registering with the CFTC. The SEF launch on October 2, 2013, was facilitated by a CFTC guidance letter and several conditional and time-limited grants of relief from enforcement against non-compliance with certain technical elements. However, the CFTC in its no-action letters did not grant relief for SEFs from the October 2, 2013 deadline requiring swap trading venues to register. The CFTC regulations further require SEF's to report certain data arising from the execution of a swap to a swap data repository either for real-time public dissemination or confidential regulatory use. Regulations require that if a swap is executed on a SEF, the SEF must provide written confirmation of the terms to each counterparty. After the CFTC certified Javelin Capital Markets SEF's Made Available to Trade (MAT) Submission on January 16, 2014, certain swaps were required to trade on SEFs as of February 15, 2014.

Brisbane River Classic
|
The Brisbane River Classic ('BRC') is a yearly fishing tournament held on the Brisbane River in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is held usually in November or December each year and is the only fishing tournament to be held on the Brisbane River. The 2008 tournament saw the changing of the Longest Shark and Longest Catfish categories, into Photo and Release categories. The other categories are Longest Bream, Best Miscellaneous and Junior BRC (Best Miscellaneous). The 2009 tournament saw the introduction of a new category, Longest King Threadfin.
The tournament sparked debate in the 2007 Brisbane River Classic fishing tournament with the winning entry for the Heaviest Shark a record-sized 2.9m bull shark. It is believed that the shark was the largest caught in the river. It was weighed but the scales registered to only 200 kg and is estimated to have been 250 kg to 300 kg. The tournament has now introduced Photo and Release entry methods.

Reinhard Stupperich
|
Reinhard Stupperich (born 26 July 1951 in Münster) is a German classical archaeologist.
The son of the theologian Robert Stupperich, he studied history, Greek, Latin and classical archaeology at the University of Münster from 1970 to 1971. In 1975 he passed the First Philological State Examination for teaching at grammar schools. From 1975 to 1976 he studied classical and provincial Roman archaeology as well as ancient history at the University of Oxford. In the summer of 1976 he was involved in excavations at the Roman villa of Gorhambury in Verulamium and in Mycenaean beehive tombs in Messinia. In 1977 he received his doctorate from Münster for the dissertation Staatsbegräbnis und Privatgrabmal im klassischen Athen ("State funeral and private tomb in classical Athens"). In 1977 and 1979 Stupperich took part in excavations in Oberaden and Messinia. Stupperich received a travel grant from the German Archaeological Institute in 1980–81. From 1983 he worked as a university assistant at the University of Münster. In 1989 he also completed his habilitation in classical archaeology. From 1990 to 2001 he taught as a professor at the University of Mannheim. From 1989 to 1994 he led the excavation in the Westtor necropolis of Assos. At the end of 2001, after the closure of the Classical Archaeology department at the University of Mannheim, he was transferred to the Institut für Klassische Archäologie und Byzantinische Archäologie (Institute of Classical Archaeology and Byzantine Archaeology) at Heidelberg University. He retired in 2019.
In 1994, Stupperich, together with the contemporary historian Heinz A. Richter, founded the journal Thetis. Mannheimer Beiträge zur klassische Archäologie und Geschichte Griechenlands und Zyperns ("Thetis. Mannheim contributions to classical archeology and history of Greece and Cyprus"). In addition, in 1995 the two launched the publication series Peleus. Studien zur Geschichte und Archäologie Griechenlands und Zyperns ("Peleus. Studies on the history and archaeology of Greece and Cyprus"). Since Volume 23 (2016–2018), Thetis has been published by Stupperich alone and under the new subtitle Mannheimer Beiträge zur Archäologie und Geschichte der antiken Mittelmeerkulturen ("Mannheim Contributions to the Archaeology and History of Ancient Mediterranean Cultures"), and is, therefore, dedicated only to topics of classical studies. Since the same time, the series Peleus has been published without Stupperich's participation and is limited to topics in the modern history of Greece and Cyprus.
Stupperich was First Chairman of the Deutscher Archäologen-Verband (German Archaeological Association) from 1998 to 2002 and has been a corresponding member of the German Archaeological Institute since 1995.

Saida Menebhi
|
Saida Menebhi (1952 in Marrakesh – 11 December 1977 in Casablanca) was a Moroccan poet, high school teacher, and activist with the Marxist revolutionary movement Ila al-Amam. In 1975, she, together with five other members of the movement, was sentenced for seven years of imprisonment for anti-state activity. On November 8th 1977, inside the jail in Casablanca, she participated in a collective hunger strike, and died on the 35th day of the strike at Avicenne Hospital.
Her poetry, collected and published first in 1978, and later again in 2000, is considered a prime example of Moroccan revolutionary and feminist literature. She wrote in French. Translations of a selection of her poems to English were published for the first time in 2021 by See Red Press.
Abduction
On January 16, 1976, Saida Menebhi was abducted and detained—along with 3 other female militants, Rabea Ftouh, Piera di Maggio and Fatima Oukacha—in the secret Moulay Sherif Prison in Casablanca, now known as a prominent center of torture in the period of King Hassan II. There, they were subjected to a number of different kinds of physical and psychological torture before being transferred to the civilian prison in Casablanca. Menebhi and her comrades Fatima Oukacha and Rabea Ftouh were sentenced to indefinite solitary confinement in the civilian prison of Casablanca.

Thomas Octavius Prichard
|
Thomas Octavius Prichard (1808–1847) was an English psychiatrist, one of the earliest advocates of "moral management", the humane treatment of the mentally ill.
Having served as superintendent for two years at Glasgow Royal Lunatic Asylum, Prichard was appointed founding superintendent of the Northamptonshire County General Lunatic Asylum in 1838. Funded by public subscription, it was intended for "private and pauper lunatics". He built the number of patients up from 70 to 260 by 1844, claiming never to have to put patients under physical restraint. He saw non-restraint as part of "a system of kind and preventative treatment, in which all excitement is as much as possible avoided, and no care omitted": it is not clear whether he was influenced by the earlier work of Robert Gardiner Hill. When the poet John Clare entered the asylum in 1841, Prichard encouraged him to continue his writing.
Prichard resigned from the Northampton asylum in 1845 following allegations of professional misconduct. He opened a private asylum at Abington Manor near Northampton. Prichard died in 1847. The asylum was taken over by his cousin, Thomas Prichard (d.1878) who also married his widow (d.1852). She had been matron of the Northampton asylum and had five children from her first marriage.

Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center
|
The Henry M. Jackson Visitor Center is a day-use facility located in the Paradise area of Mount Rainier National Park. The facility offers exhibits, films, guided ranger programs, a book store, a snack bar, a gift shop, and public restrooms, as well as informational brochures and maps.
The first Jackson Visitor Center opened in 1966 as part of the National Park Service's Mission 66 program. Originally known as the Paradise Visitor Center, it was renamed in 1987 after the death of Senator Henry M. Jackson, who had been instrumental in the development of the program at Mt. Rainier. Construction of a new Jackson Visitor Center was completed in 2008, and the original building was demolished in November 2008.
History
Mount Rainier was a pilot park in the Mission 66 program to expand National Park visitor services. The plans for the Paradise Visitor Center as a day-use facility came about as a compromise when the program was still trying to determine whether overnight lodging would be feasible. Construction began in 1964, and facilities were to include a restaurant, museum, information center, ski rental shop, and a warming hut. By the time construction was completed in 1966, costs had grown to US$2 million.
Architecture
The original building was designed by Whimberley, Whisenand, Allison & Tong of Honolulu, with McGuire & Muri of Tacoma, Washington. The structure's round shape and distinctive roof were intended to fit its surrounding mountain landscape. A flyer produced for the opening ceremony spoke of "the swooping, bough-like shape of the beams, the branching 'tree' columns, the 'switchback trail' ramps, and the sloped 'cliffs' of the stone base".
The architecture, which was consistent with the modernist style common to many of the Mission 66 projects, although a distinct departure from National Park Service Rustic, was always controversial. Drawing frequent comparisons to a flying saucer, it reminded others of a sunken Seattle Space Needle. It was accused of not fulfilling its goal of appropriateness for its setting, instead being "incompatible with the rustic character of Paradise". Others disagreed with this assertion, claiming that "although it doesn't match the rustic styling of Paradise's other buildings, its grandness seems to fit the location".
Replacement
Beyond the varied response to the building's appearance, other more significant architectural problems led the National Park Service to replace the Jackson Visitor Center with a more traditional design. The roof of the original structure was not designed to handle the copious amounts of snowfall in the Paradise area each winter, requiring the consumption of of diesel fuel per day during the snow season to melt snow and prevent the roof from collapsing. Additionally, the building no longer met building and accessibility codes, despite ramps and other features that required a disproportionate amount of space.
The National Park Service began construction of a smaller, more energy-efficient visitor center in 2006. The new Henry M. Jackson visitor center opened on October 10, 2008. Demolition of the original Jackson Visitor Center was accomplished in the Spring of 2009.

Carlo Nocella
|
Carlo Nocella (25 November 1826 – 22 July 1908) was an Italian cardinal. He was Secretary of the Sacred Consistorial Congregation (1892–1899), Latin Patriarch of Antioch (1899–1901), and Latin Patriarch of Constantinople (1901–1903).
Biography
Nocella was born in Rome and studied at the Pontifical Roman Athenaeum S. Apollinare, from where he obtained a doctorate in canon and civil law. Ordained a priest on 2 September 1849, he joined the faculty of the Pontifical Roman Athenaeum S. Apollinare and later became Secretary of Latin Letters, canon of the Liberian Basilica and of St. Peter's Basilica, and protonotary apostolic de numero participantium. He was named Secretary of Briefs to the Princes on 5 December 1884, and Secretary of the Sacred Consistorial Congregation on 21 March 1892.
On 22 June 1899, Nocella was appointed Latin Patriarch of Antioch by Pope Leo XIII. He received his episcopal consecration on the following 16 July from Cardinal Mariano Rampolla, with Archbishops Felice Maria de Neckere and Casimiro Gennari, at the altar of the Chair of Peter in St. Peter's Basilica. He was transferred to the Latin Patriarchate of Constantinople on 18 April 1901.
Leo XIII created him Cardinal Priest of S. Callisto in the consistory of 22 June 1903. He participated in the 1903 papal conclave, which elected Pope Pius X. Nocella died in Rome, aged 81; he is buried in Campo Verano cemetery.

Van der Waerden's theorem
|
Van der Waerden's theorem is a theorem in the branch of mathematics called Ramsey theory. Van der Waerden's theorem states that for any given positive integers r and k, there is some number N such that if the integers {1, 2, ..., N} are colored, each with one of r different colors, then there are at least k integers in arithmetic progression whose elements are of the same color. The least such N is the Van der Waerden number W(r, k), named after the Dutch mathematician B. L. van der Waerden.
Example
For example, when r = 2, you have two colors, say red and blue. W(2, 3) is bigger than 8, because you can color the integers from {1, ..., 8} like this:
and no three integers of the same color form an arithmetic progression. But you can't add a ninth integer to the end without creating such a progression. If you add a red 9, then the red 3, 6, and 9 are in arithmetic progression. Alternatively, if you add a blue 9, then the blue 1, 5, and 9 are in arithmetic progression.
In fact, there is no way of coloring 1 through 9 without creating such a progression (it can be proved by considering examples). Therefore, W(2, 3) is 9.
Open problem
It is an open problem to determine the values of W(r, k) for most values of r and k. The proof of the theorem provides only an upper bound. For the case of r = 2 and k = 3, for example, the argument given below shows that it is sufficient to color the integers {1, ..., 325} with two colors to guarantee there will be a single-colored arithmetic progression of length 3. But in fact, the bound of 325 is very loose; the minimum required number of integers is only 9. Any coloring of the integers {1, ..., 9} will have three evenly spaced integers of one color.
For r = 3 and k = 3, the bound given by the theorem is 7(2·37 + 1)(2·37·(2·37 + 1) + 1), or approximately 4.22·1014616. But actually, you don't need that many integers to guarantee a single-colored progression of length 3; you only need 27. (And it is possible to color {1, ..., 26} with three colors so that there is no single-colored arithmetic progression of length 3; for example:
An open problem is the attempt to reduce the general upper bound to any 'reasonable' function. Ronald Graham offered a prize of US$1000 for showing W(2, k) < 2k2. In addition, he offered a US$250 prize for a proof of his conjecture involving more general off-diagonal van der Waerden numbers, stating W(2; 3, k) ≤ kO(1), while mentioning numerical evidence suggests W(2; 3, k) = k2 + o(1). Ben Green disproved this latter conjecture and proved super-polynomial counterexamples to W(2; 3, k) < kr for any r. The best upper bound currently known is due to Timothy Gowers, who establishes
by first establishing a similar result for Szemerédi's theorem, which is a stronger version of Van der Waerden's theorem. The previously best-known bound was due to Saharon Shelah and proceeded via first proving a result for the Hales–Jewett theorem, which is another strengthening of Van der Waerden's theorem.
The best lower bound currently known for is that for all positive we have , for all sufficiently large .
Proof of Van der Waerden's theorem (in a special case)
The following proof is due to Ron Graham, B.L. Rothschild, and Joel Spencer. Khinchin gives a fairly simple proof of the theorem without estimating W(r, k).
Proof in the case of W(2, 3)
We will prove the special case mentioned above, that W(2, 3) ≤ 325. Let c(n) be a coloring of the integers {1, ..., 325}. We will find three elements of {1, ..., 325} in arithmetic progression that are the same color.
Divide {1, ..., 325} into the 65 blocks {1, ..., 5}, {6, ..., 10}, ... {321, ..., 325}, thus each block is of the form {5b + 1, ..., 5b + 5} for some b in {0, ..., 64}. Since each integer is colored either red or blue, each block is colored in one of 32 different ways. By the pigeonhole principle, there are two blocks among the first 33 blocks that are colored identically. That is, there are two integers b1 and b2, both in {0,...,32}, such that
c(5b1 + k) = c(5b2 + k)
for all k in {1, ..., 5}. Among the three integers 5b1 + 1, 5b1 + 2, 5b1 + 3, there must be at least two that are of the same color. (The pigeonhole principle again.) Call these 5b1 + a1 and 5b1 + a2, where the ai are in {1,2,3} and a1 < a2. Suppose (without loss of generality) that these two integers are both red. (If they are both blue, just exchange 'red' and 'blue' in what follows.)
Let a3 = 2a2 − a1. If 5b1 + a3 is red, then we have found our arithmetic progression: 5b1 + ai are all red.
Otherwise, 5b1 + a3 is blue. Since a3 ≤ 5, 5b1 + a3 is in the b1 block, and since the b2 block is colored identically, 5b2 + a3 is also blue.
Now let b3 = 2b2 − b1. Then b3 ≤ 64. Consider the integer 5b3 + a3, which must be ≤ 325. What color is it?
If it is red, then 5b1 + a1, 5b2 + a2, and 5b3 + a3 form a red arithmetic progression. But if it is blue, then 5b1 + a3, 5b2 + a3, and 5b3 + a3 form a blue arithmetic progression. Either way, we are done.
Proof in the case of W(3, 3)
A similar argument can be advanced to show that W(3, 3) ≤ 7(2·37+1)(2·37·(2·37+1)+1). One begins by dividing the integers into 2·37·(2·37 + 1) + 1 groups of 7(2·37 + 1) integers each; of the first 37·(2·37 + 1) + 1 groups, two must be colored identically.
Divide each of these two groups into 2·37+1 subgroups of 7 integers each; of the first 37 + 1 subgroups in each group, two of the subgroups must be colored identically. Within each of these identical subgroups, two of the first four integers must be the same color, say red; this implies either a red progression or an element of a different color, say blue, in the same subgroup.
Since we have two identically-colored subgroups, there is a third subgroup, still in the same group that contains an element which, if either red or blue, would complete a red or blue progression, by a construction analogous to the one for W(2, 3). Suppose that this element is green. Since there is a group that is colored identically, it must contain copies of the red, blue, and green elements we have identified; we can now find a pair of red elements, a pair of blue elements, and a pair of green elements that 'focus' on the same integer, so that whatever color it is, it must complete a progression.
Proof in general case
The proof for W(2, 3) depends essentially on proving that W(32, 2) ≤ 33. We divide the integers {1,...,325} into 65 'blocks', each of which can be colored in 32 different ways, and then show that two blocks of the first 33 must be the same color, and there is a block colored the opposite way. Similarly, the proof for W(3, 3) depends on proving that
By a double induction on the number of colors and the length of the progression, the theorem is proved in general.
Proof
A D-dimensional arithmetic progression (AP) consists of
numbers of the form:
where is the basepoint, the 's are positive step-sizes, and the 's range from 0 to . A -dimensional AP is homogeneous for some coloring when it is all the same color.
A -dimensional arithmetic progression with benefits is all numbers of the form above, but where you add on some of the "boundary" of the arithmetic progression, i.e. some of the indices 's can be equal to . The sides you tack on are ones where the first 's are equal to , and the remaining 's are less than .
The boundaries of a -dimensional AP with benefits are these additional arithmetic progressions of dimension , down to 0. The 0-dimensional arithmetic progression is the single point at index value . A -dimensional AP with benefits is homogeneous when each of the boundaries are individually homogeneous, but different boundaries do not have to necessarily have the same color.
Next define the quantity to be the least integer so that any assignment of colors to an interval of length or more necessarily contains a homogeneous -dimensional arithmetical progression with benefits.
The goal is to bound the size of . Note that is an upper bound for Van der Waerden's number. There are two inductions steps, as follows:
Base case: , i.e. if you want a length 1 homogeneous -dimensional arithmetic sequence, with or without benefits, you have nothing to do. So this forms the base of the induction. The Van der Waerden theorem itself is the assertion that is finite, and it follows from the base case and the induction steps.

The AMF Chevvron is a British two-seat microlight aircraft of the 1980s and 90s. It is a single engined mid-winged monoplane with side-by-side seating. 41 were built.
Design and development
The Chevvron was designed to meet a requirement for an aircraft conforming with the Civil Aviation Authority's regulations for microlight aircraft and fitted with conventional three-axis controls. The Chevvron is a mid-wing monoplane with a pod-and boom configuration and high aspect ratio wings. It is built of composite materials and is fitted with a fixed nosewheel undercarriage. The normal powerplant was a single König SD 570 two-stroke, four-cylinder air-cooled radial engine rated at and driving a three-bladed propeller.
The first prototype, fitted with a V-tail, made its maiden flight in late 1983. A modified second prototype, with a conventional tail flew in October 1986.
Operational history
AMF Microflight began production of the Chevvron in 1987, with 19 completed at their Membury factory by 1990. A single example was built of the Sea Chevvron, a floatplane version fitted with a more powerful () König engine, while examples were also fitted with a Limbach engine. In total, 41 Chevvrons were built. In the 1990s, a single-rotor wankel engine from the MidWest AE series was successfully fitted to a Chevvron.

Waverley, New South Wales
|
Waverley is a suburb in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Waverley is located 7 kilometres east of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of Waverley Council.
Waverley Council takes its name from the suburb but its administrative centre is located in the adjacent suburb of Bondi Junction, which is also a major commercial centre. Waverley is the highest point of altitude in Sydney's Eastern Suburbs.
History
Waverley takes its name from a home built near Old South Head Road in 1827 by Barnett Levey (or Levy) (1798–1837). It was named Waverley House, after the title of his favourite book, Waverley, by author Sir Walter Scott. Waverley Municipality was proclaimed in June 1859. The house was a distinctive landmark and gave its name to the surrounding suburb.
Waverley Cemetery (South Head General Cemetery) was established in 1877 and is one of Australia's most notable cemeteries due to its cliff-side location. The cemetery features the graves of several notable Australians including poet Henry Kendall and aviator Lawrence Hargrave.
Edina, a late Victorian mansion built on a grand scale in Birrell Street by Ebenezer Vickery for himself and his family, was completed around 1884. Vickery was a leading merchant and a prominent patron of the Methodist Church. Other buildings in the group include Banksia, Witchagil and the Nellie Vickery Memorial Chapel. Banksia and Witchagil are two-storey villas that Vickery built for his sons.
This distinguished group of Victorian buildings is now used as the War Memorial Hospital. Edina, Banksia and Witchagil are on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate. Other heritage items in Waverley include the two weatherboard cottages in Judges Lane, off Bronte Road. A building in Waverley once collapsed into a large hole that swallowed ten houses and an entire street.
Heritage listings
Waverley has a number of heritage-listed sites, including:
240 Birrell Street: St Mary's Anglican Church, Waverley
45 Victoria Street: Mary Immaculate Catholic Church, Waverley, designed by John Hennessy in 1912. Its twin-towered design is said to be reminiscent of the Italian Renaissance and is an example of the Federation Academic Classical style.
Victoria Street, Presbyterian Church (Jubilee Church currently) was designed by Sydney architects Messrs Nixon and Allen. The foundation stone was laid by Mrs. Grahame on 8 May 1897.
Victoria Street, the Catholic Friary was demolished in 1985 after sustaining extensive fire damage (see gallery below).
Population
In the 2016 Census, there were 4,346 people in Waverley. 54.1% of people were born in Australia. The most common countries of birth were England 7.9% and New Zealand 2.7%. 69.6% of people only spoke English at home. The most common responses for religion were No Religion 32.0% and Catholic 24.7%.

The sori (Persian:سری) is a symbol that corresponds to a quarter step higher in tone in Persian traditional music. It is written as a ">" sign, crossed by two vertical lines, and can be used like an accidental.
In the early 20th century, Iranian master musician Alinaghi Vaziri established this sign for the sori for use in written Persian music using standard western notation. Character representation of this accidental symbol together with Koron encoding (encoded as U+1D1E9 and U+1D1EA) microtones used in modern Iranian classical music added to the Unicode standard in Version 14.0.0.

Ape Cognition and Conservation Initiative
|
Ape Cognition and Conservation Initiative is a sanctuary and scientific research facility in Des Moines, Iowa. It is dedicated to understanding the origins and future of culture, language, tools and intelligence. The facility was announced in 2002 and received its first ape residents in 2004, and is currently home to a colony of seven bonobos involved in non-invasive interdisciplinary studies of their cognitive and communicative capabilities.
Facility
Ape Cognition and Conservation Initiative is situated on 230 acres and houses a family of seven bonobos: Kanzi, Elikya, Maisha, Nyota, Teco, Clara, and Mali. Three of the bonobos learned important elements of human culture during their crucial first year of life. As a youngster, Kanzi acquired language competency by simply watching humans attempt to teach language to Matata, the wild-caught grandmother of the family. Nyota is the first ape reared both by humans and a language-competent ape mother. The youngest, Teco, provides a unique look into the epigenetic effects of language acquisition. All three of these bonobos communicate with humans using a collection of over 400 "lexigram" symbols printed on paper or appearing on computer touch screens.
It has been repeatedly claimed that these bonobos can think, make plans and understand simple spoken English. Kanzi has been filmed making music, building a fire, and crafting simple stone tools. More than 400 scientific papers and many books document the near-human capabilities of the bonobos, and films portraying their achievements have been broadcast worldwide. Television coverage includes features with Oprah, Anderson Cooper, 60 Minutes (in Australia), BBC, Paul McCartney and Peter Gabriel.

29th Division (Yugoslav Partisans)
|
The 29th (Herzegovinian) Division () was a Yugoslav Partisan division formed on 16 November 1943. It was formed from the 10th, 2nd and 3rd Herzegovinian Brigades which had a total strength of 1,567 fighters. Since its formation, the 29th Division was a part of the 2nd Corps.
History
Until January 1945, it fought against units of the German V SS Mountain Corps, whose units were occupying Eastern Bosnia, Herzegovina and southern Dalmatia. Until the spring of 1944, Herzegovina was occupied by the 7th SS Mountain Division, which was then replaced by the 369th Legionary Division. Parts of the 118th Jäger Division from southern Dalmatia were also engaged in the actions.
The Division took part in the Battle of Vukov Klanac in October 1944.
In 1945, the 29th Division fought in the Mostar operation, where it was subordinated to the headquarters of the 8th Corps, and in the Sarajevo Operation.
From mid-April, the division was subordinated to the headquarters of the 4th Army, and participated in the Trieste Operation.
On 8 May the division, together with units of the Seventh Slovenian Corps, liberated Ljubljana.

John George Kilburn (2 July 1876 – 2 April 1976) was an English-born Australian politician.
He was born in Middlesbrough in Yorkshire to bricklayer George Kilburn and Ellen Horner. In January 1898 he married Elizabeth McNamara, with whom he had four children. He migrated to New South Wales in 1912 and followed his father's trade; he was also a member of the Australian Socialist Party until 1917 and was involved in attempts to form a Marxist party in 1919. In 1922 he joined the Labor Party, and served on the central executive from 1923 to 1924. In 1924 he became secretary of the Bricklayers' Union. He was a Labor member of the New South Wales Legislative Council from 1931 to 1934. He remained union secretary until 1943, and was also on the Labor central executive from 1938 to 1939 and from 1940 to 1941. Kilburn died at Hammondville in 1976, three months short of his hundredth birthday.

Catryna Bilyk
|
Catryna Louise Bilyk (; born 7 February 1959) is an Australian politician. She is a member of the Australian Labor Party (ALP) and has been a Senator for Tasmania since 2008.
Early life
Bilyk was born in Hobart. She worked as an industrial officer for the Australian Services Union, a researcher for psychiatric pioneer Eric Cunningham Dax, an early childhood educator, and an advisor to Tasmanian Labor Ministers David Crean, Ken Bacon and David Llewellyn. She has also been ALP National Vice-President. She is married with two adult children.
Senate
Bilyk was elected to serve a six-year term in the Senate at the 2007 federal election, after being placed in the third position on the Australian Labor Party's Tasmanian ticket. She was elected to the sixth Senate seat for Tasmania, on preferences distributed from Andrew Wilkie, the Australian Greens' second candidate for the Senate in Tasmania in the 2007 election. It was second time lucky for Bilyk, who had also been preselected in third spot on the Labor Senate ticket in Tasmania at the 2001 federal election, but failed to win a seat.
On 27 February 2016, Bilyk announced that she supports same-sex marriage, having previously opposed it.
Cancer diagnosis and advocacy
In March 2008, as a senator-elect, Bilyk was diagnosed with two benign brain tumours, which were surgically removed. Her experience with brain tumours motivated her to raise funds for research to improve the survival rate for cancer. To date, events she has organised have raised over $120,000 for Cure Brain Cancer Foundation.
On 6 December 2016, Bilyk was appointed chair of a newly-formed Senate Select Committee into funding for research into cancers with low survival rates. The Committee has been tasked with inquiring into and reporting on "the impact of health research funding models on the availability of funding for research into cancers with low survival rates."

Gaius Salvius Liberalis
|
Gaius Salvius Liberalis Nonius Bassus (fl. 80s CE) was a Roman senator and general, who held civil office in Britain and was a member of the Arval Brethren. He was suffect consul in the last nundinium of 85, with Cornelius Orestes as his colleague.
Life
Gaius Salvius Liberalis is known to have come from Urbs Salvia in Picenum. According to Ronald Syme, he may have been first cousin to the consul Lucius Flavius Silva Nonius Bassus. However, Olli Salomies provides some evidence against this, most notably an inscription that indicates his mother's name was Ann[ia(?)]. An inscription recovered from Urbs Salvia supplies his father's praenomen, Gaius; more importantly it provides details of his cursus honorum.
The first office listed is the record of holding the chief magistracy of his home town in four census years; Anthony Birley explains this would extend 15 years from the first to the last tenure of this office. Next was his adlection into the Roman Senate as an ex-praetor, although another line of the inscription states he was adlected as an ex-tribune; from this, and in analogy of the career of Gaius Caristanius Fronto, Birley deduces Salvius Liberalis "probably also held equestrian military appointments and had been on the right side in the year 69."
He was co-opted into the Arval Brethren 1 March 78, replacing the deceased Gaius Salonius Matidius Patruinus; however, Salvius Liberalis was absent from the Arval ceremonies, returning by 30 October 81. Syme dates his tenure as juridicius Augustorum in Britain to 78–81, while H. Peterson argues that Salvius was commander of the Legio V Macedonica from May 78 to 24 June 79 or slightly later, becoming juridicius between those dates. Birley proposes yet a third chronology, dating his command of V Macedonica prior to his co-option into the Arval Brethren, in which case "if the priesthood was in some sense a reward for meritorious service as a legionary legate, it would be intelligible that it should be mentioned after it." Salvius Liberalis would then have held command of V Macedonica from 74 to 78, and served as juridicius from 78 to 81.
Afterwards Salvius Liberalis was proconsul of Macedonia. Syme argues, based on his absence again from the rituals of the Arval Brethren, he was proconsul in 84/85. In contrast, Paul Leunissen suggests instead a slightly earlier proconsular tenure, 82/83. Birley also dates the proconsulship to 82/83.
He returned to Rome accept appointment as suffect consul. Syme argues that in the aftermath of the trial of Gaius Caecilius Classicus, Salvius Liberalis was sent into exile. Birley notes he was "an outstanding advocate, fluent and forcible, whether prosecuting or for the defence" then notes, "His outspokenness won Vespasian's approval, but under Domitian he was in trouble, perhaps exile."
He returned at a later date, probably after the assassination of Domitian, Salvius Liberalis returned to Rome where he served as a lawyer. In 100, he was advocate for the defense of a proconsul of Africa prosecuted by Agricola. He is recorded as present for the meetings of the Arval Brotherhood in 101, but is missing from their Acta for 105, and it is likely he died between those years.
Family
A gravestone found near Rome dedicated to his wife, Vitellia C.f. Rufilla, by his son, Gaius Salvius Vitellanius, provides details of his family. Salvius Vitellanius is known to have been a military tribune in Legio V Macedonica and legate to the proconsul of Macedonia; Birley suspects in both cases he served under his father.
In fiction
Gaius Salvius Liberalis appears in books II-V of the Cambridge Latin Course as a conniving and evil man. He sentences many slaves to death, is disliked by most people and the main antagonist, who helps the emperor coordinate the downfall of many people. He is involved in a conspiracy against Tiberius Claudius Cogidubnus and unravels the affair between Paris and the emperor's wife, Domitia. Eventually, he is tried for his crimes and exiled for five years.

John Leigh Philips
|
John Leigh Philips (1761–1814), was a manufacturer in Manchester, England.
Early life
He was the son of John Philips (1734–1824), who founded the cotton spinning firm Philips & Lee. The family had significant community and legal connections; in addition to his cotton business John Philips held public office as Deputy Lieutenant for Cheshire, Justice of the Peace for Lancashire and Cheshire, and Chairman of Magistrates at Stockport. They were also related to the founders of textile manufacturers J. & N. Philips, who operated businesses in the Manchester area—John Philips (1724–1803), Nathaniel Philips (1726–1808) and Thomas Philips (1728–1811).
John Leigh Philips himself became involved in the textile industry. For a time he was in business with his brother Francis, who outlived him, dying in 1850.
As a young man Philips frequented the Roscoe Circle in Liverpool—the intellectual group around William Roscoe—meeting there William Paulet Carey, James Currie and Daniel Daulby.
Military service
In late 1803 Philips was granted command of the First Regiment of the Manchester and Salford Corps, a volunteer militia which served as part of Britain's Home Guard during the French Revolutionary Wars. His brother Francis was appointed to a subordinate role in the same corps alongside three of his cousins.
The Philips' family's elevated social status encouraged John Leigh Philips to consider himself the natural leader of Manchester's military establishment. He was therefore offended when another militia commander, Joseph Hanson of the Salford and Stockport Independent Rifles, declared himself "Lieutenant Colonel Commandant" with authority over all local volunteer corps. Hanson's claim rested on his corps being older and larger than others in the district, and formed after letters of encouragement from the Earl of Derby acting as Lord Lieutenant of Lancashire, and from Britain's Secretary of State Lord Hawkesbury. Philips rejected these arguments and publicly questioned Hanson's loyalty to the Crown.
When Hanson refused to concede, a furious Philips challenged him to a duel and the two men met on Kersal Moor on 28 July 1804. At the moment they were about to shoot the duel as broken up by constables from Manchester. Philips and Hanson were arrested, but released after a caution to keep the peace.
Undeterred, Philips began a lengthy correspondence with both the Earl of Derby and Lord Hawkesbury, seeking adjudication of the dispute in his favour. Derby replied first, supporting Hanson's claim but refusing to get further involved. After some delay Hawkesbury also replied, and in blunter terms. Hanson's right to the title of Lieutenant Colonel Commandant was upheld and Philips was rebuked for "disputing the authority under which the [militia] regulations were made."
Philips immediately resigned from the militia, as did all 53 officers of his regiment. Leaderless, the regiment itself collapsed and its men were subsumed into other companies.
Later life
An early adopter of gas lighting, he introduced it in the family business in 1805.
Philips was also a good friend of Joseph Wright of Derby.
Legacy
Philips purchased natural history illustrations produced by John Abbot and other illustrators.. He collected over a number of different areas.
After Philips died, his book and art collections were sold. Also for sale was his "cabinet of insects", in three showcases, which was bought by Thomas Henry Robinson with the natural history collection, for over £5,000. It was acquire by a group who in 1821 set up the Manchester Natural History Society (properly the ""Manchester Society for the Promotion of Natural History"). A meeting was called for 30 June 1821, for the specific purpose of preserving the entomological and ornithological collections of Philips: as well as Robinson, Edward Holme and other members of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society attended. Thirty members joined. A new building for the collection was opened in 1835. That museum later became the Manchester Museum.
Family
Philips married Caroline Renny, and they had five children. The youngest was Nathaniel George Philips.

New World Order (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier)
|
"New World Order" is the first episode of the American television miniseries The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, based on Marvel Comics featuring the characters Sam Wilson / Falcon and Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier. It follows the pair as they adjust to life after returning from the Blip at the end of Avengers: Endgame (2019). The episode is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), sharing continuity with the films of the franchise. It was written by head writer Malcolm Spellman and directed by Kari Skogland.
Sebastian Stan and Anthony Mackie reprise their respective roles as Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson from the film series, with Wyatt Russell, Erin Kellyman, Danny Ramirez, Georges St-Pierre, Adepero Oduye, and Don Cheadle also starring. Development began by October 2018, with Spellman hired to serve as head writer of the series. Skogland joined in May 2019. They focused on exploring the title characters, including themes related to Wilson's life as a Black superhero in America and his response to being handed the mantle of Captain America in Endgame. Filming took place at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, with location filming occurring in the Atlanta metropolitan area and in Prague.
"New World Order" was released on the streaming service Disney+ on March 19, 2021. It became the most-watched Disney+ series premiere, surpassing the series premiere of WandaVision. The episode received positive reviews from critics, with praise going to its opening action sequence, the characterization of Wilson and Barnes, and the racial themes included. However, it received criticism over Wilson and Barnes not sharing any scenes together and there were some negative comparisons made between the episode and Marvel Television's Netflix series. It received several accolades, including a Primetime Emmy Award nomination for Cheadle's role as James Rhodes.
Plot
Six months after half of all life returned from the Blip, the U.S. Air Force sends Sam Wilson to stop a plane hijacking over Tunisia by the terrorist group LAF, led by Georges Batroc. With ground support from first lieutenant Joaquin Torres, Wilson fights the terrorists and rescues Air Force Captain Vassant before they cross into Libyan airspace and cause an international incident. On the ground, Torres tells Wilson about another terrorist group, the Flag Smashers, who believe life was better during the Blip.
In Washington, D.C., Wilson gives Captain America's shield to the U.S. government to display in a museum exhibit about Steve Rogers. He later explains to James Rhodes that he feels like the shield still belongs to Rogers. In Delacroix, Louisiana, Wilson's sister Sarah struggles to keep the family fishing business going. He offers to use his status as a famous superhero to help them get a new loan, but they are turned down due to the business's poor profits and Wilson's lack of income during his five year absence.
Meanwhile, in New York City, Bucky Barnes attends government-mandated therapy after being pardoned for his actions as the brainwashed assassin known as the Winter Soldier. He discusses his attempts to make amends for his time as the Winter Soldier with his therapist, Dr. Raynor. Barnes later has lunch with an elderly man named Yori, who convinces him to go on a date with a waitress named Leah. Both Yori and Leah discuss how Yori's son RJ was killed with no explanation. Barnes recalls killing RJ as the Winter Soldier, which happened after RJ witnessed an assassination by him in the hotel where he was staying. Barnes is unable to reveal this to Yori, and has also been ignoring text messages from Wilson.
Torres investigates the Flag Smashers and sees a bank robbery in Switzerland perpetrated by a group member with superhuman strength. Torres confronts him, but is knocked unconscious. He later informs Wilson of what he has learned. Wilson then sees the government announce a new Captain America, giving Rogers' shield to John Walker.
Production
Development
By October 2018, Marvel Studios was developing a limited series starring Anthony Mackie's Sam Wilson / Falcon and Sebastian Stan's Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films. Malcolm Spellman was hired as head writer of the series, which was announced as The Falcon and the Winter Soldier in April 2019. Spellman modeled the series after buddy films that deal with race, such as 48 Hrs. (1982), The Defiant Ones (1958), Lethal Weapon (1987), and Rush Hour (1998). Kari Skogland was hired to direct the miniseries a month later, and executive produced alongside Spellman and Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige, Louis D'Esposito, Victoria Alonso, and Nate Moore. Written by Spellman, the first episode is titled "New World Order", and was released on the streaming service Disney+ on March 19, 2021.
Writing
The series is set six months after the film Avengers: Endgame (2019), and the episode's title refers to the state of the MCU following the Blip as seen in that film. Wilson and Barnes do not appear together in the episode, which explores where each of the characters are separately after Endgame. This was Feige's idea, as he said the two characters had always existed within a larger context in the MCU films, and he felt they needed to be introduced to the series' audience as individuals before they could be brought together as a team. Spellman explained that in showing the two characters lives after the events of Endgame, they wanted to explore commonalities between the post-Blip MCU and the real world, focusing on smaller details such as Wilson trying to get a loan. Spellman revealed that the specifics of that scene were debated "all the way up to the top" at Marvel Studios, to ensure it would resonate with audiences due to the struggle for a Black family to get a bank loan that it depicts. He added, "every one of us who is Black in day to day life have those experiences ... how could you ever write [Wilson] going to get a loan without dealing with the reality of what happens when Black people try to get loans?" The opening scene features an extended sequence in which Falcon flies in the skies and subdues a group of terrorists. Skogland wanted the sequence to establish the tone of the series and wanted to depict Falcon flying due to his action sequences in previous MCU films, which did not focus on Falcon's action sequences as much.
The creative team made the deliberate decision to introduce more elements of Wilson's life, including his family, friends, and hometown. Though Wilson was originally based in Harlem from the comics, the team decided to base him in New Orleans, as the writing team based those elements around Mackie's actual life, as Mackie had lived there. For Barnes, the episode shows him attempting to make amends for his violent actions as the Winter Soldier. This includes befriending Yori, the father of one of his victims, who Spellman intended to personify all of the Winter Soldier's victims. Barnes is also shown learning to live in the modern world, such as discussing online dating. Spellman stated that Barnes had not fully reconciled with his past as the Winter Soldier while also not feeling "like a citizen of any era".
The central conflict that Spellman and Marvel wanted to explore with the series was whether Wilson would become Captain America after being handed the shield by Steve Rogers at the end of Endgame. They felt that having the government "betray" Wilson by naming someone else as Captain America would be the most appropriate way to approach this question while aligning with the series' themes, and went through "50,000 different versions" before settling on the final storyline: Wilson chooses to give up the shield early in the episode, and then John Walker is introduced as a new government-approved Captain America at the end. Skogland described this ending as "the hammer into the nail" for the conversation started when Wilson decides to give up the shield, and said it is what kickstarts the rest of the series' story. She highlighted the nationalistic language used in the government announcement, such as "relatable", "this country", and "America's greatest values". Spellman explained that Wilson seeing the government handing the shield to "some unknown white guy" played into his doubts about himself, and added that a Black man being betrayed by his country was "powerful" but unsurprising to Wilson and the audience. He was confident in exploring that interpretation of betrayal as the writers' room mostly consisted of Black people, feeling "equipped" to candidly portray the difficulties the first African-America superhero would face. He identified Wilson's uncertainy as stemming from Rogers' absence, which had put pressure on Wilson, and also being uncertain about taking Captain America's mantle due to his identity as a Black man, with Spellman going on to say "you would be dishonest to tell a story about a Black man holding that shield without his identity making him very, very ambivalent about whether or not it's a good thing to do". Spellman initially wanted the government to take the shield from Wilson, but Moore suggested that Wilson relinquish it on his own to make it more of a character moment.
When Wilson decides to give up the shield, his decision is questioned by James "Rhodey" Rhodes. Skogland noted that Rhodes serves as a mentor to Wilson in the series, while Spellman said the two have "a shorthand" that allows the audience to "fill in the blanks" when the pair pause in the scene. Spellman also felt that it was apparent to audiences that the scene features the two main Black superheroes from the MCU having a quiet moment together, and said there is an underlying suggestion that Rhodes as the hero War Machine has filled the role left by Tony Stark / Iron Man and he is wondering why Wilson has not done the same for Rogers' mantle. Many iterations of this scene were discussed, including a version where Wilson and Rhodes talk while flying in their respective superhero suits, but ultimately a quieter and more poignant direction was taken.
Casting
The episode stars Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, Anthony Mackie as Sam Wilson, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Erin Kellyman as Karli Morgenthau, Danny Ramirez as Joaquin Torres, Georges St-Pierre as Georges Batroc, Adepero Oduye as Sarah Wilson, and Don Cheadle as James "Rhodey" Rhodes. Also appearing are Desmond Chiam, Dani Deetté, and Indya Bussey as the Flag Smashers Dovich, Gigi, and DeeDee, respectively, Amy Aquino as Barnes' therapist Dr. Raynor, Chase River McGhee and Aaron Haynes as Wilson's nephews Cass and AJ, Ken Takemoto as Yori, Ian Gregg as Unique, Miki Ishikawa as Leah, Vince Pisani as a loan officer, Alphie Hyorth as a government official, Rebecca Lines as Senator Atwood, Jon Briddell as Major Hill, Miles Brew as Colonel Vassant, Charles Black as Carlos, and Akie Kotabe as Yori's son RJ. Archival audio of Chris Evans as Steve Rogers from Avengers: Endgame is heard in the episode.
Filming and visual effects
Filming took place at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, with Skogland directing, and P.J. Dillon serving as cinematographer. Location filming took place in Atlanta metropolitan area and in Prague. Additional filming occurred in the Maxwell Air Force Base and Dobbins Air Reserve Base, in Georgia and Alabama, respectively. Feige encouraged Skogland to use her own directing style rather than trying to match with the MCU films, and she chose to use different camera work that was "more off-kilter than Marvel usually is" to create a more intimate feeling. This included opening the episode with Wilson quietly ironing, which conveyed "intimacy and perspective", while using shallow focus and "interesting" camera angles for Barnes' therapy scenes. She felt the latter would allow the audience to get inside Barnes' head. For Wilson's opening action sequence, Skogland wanted the audience to feel like they were with the character, and researched birds, how people use Go Pro cameras when jumping out of airplanes and wear squirrel suits. Most of the scene was filmed practically, with a stunt person navigating a wingsuit near a flying helicopter. Skogland wanted the final scene, introducing Walker as the new Captain America, to be "hero-ise[d]", using low angles and "sneaky imagery" to make it more difficult to see Walker's face.
Visual effects for the episode were created by Weta Digital, QPPE, Cantina Creative, Trixter, Crafty Apes, Stereo D, Digital Frontier FX, and Tippett Studio. Weta Digital was tasked with working on the opening action sequence, being delivered 150 shots. They began by reviewing the previsualization work of the scene to help improve the story points and animation in order to lend a sense of "jeopardy". For those shots, they creating computer-generated body replacements for footage of Falcon in flight against bluescreens, then integrated it into the CG canyon environment, alongside additional depth-of-field changes, lighting modifications, and production of a fish-eye effect to give the impression of it being Go Pro footage. The plate footage also required CG replacements of background and costume components, and placing stunt doubles in CG environments, then compositing it by creating digital assets for the motion and integration alongside shots featuring the C130 plane. The team based the canyon environment on the Paria Canyon, which is located near the Arizona-Utah border. Following the assets' creation, the team began reworking the animation and focused on the altitudes of various objects in the scene. They determined the altitudes of the canyon and outer desert based on height maps of the Paria Canyon and deserts in Libya, respectively. Weta Digital also composited interior and exterior parts to connect practical and CG footage, as actors fighting in the helicopters were shot in interiors and practical footage of Mackie, on wire rigs, arriving near the C310 plane was shot at an Air Force base with bad weather. Since the plane was on the ground, the team also had to perform additional modifications to make it look like it was flying, including modifying lighting and initially using a digi-double handover as Falcon flies towards the plane before changing into live-action.
Music
Selections from composer Henry Jackman's score for the episode were included in the series' Vol. 1 soundtrack album, which was released digitally by Marvel Music and Hollywood Records on April 9, 2021.
Marketing
On March 19, 2021, Marvel announced a series of posters that were created by various artists to correspond with the episodes of the series. The posters were released weekly ahead of each episode, with the first poster, designed by SzarkaArt, being revealed on March 19. After the episode's release, Marvel announced merchandise inspired by the episode as part of its weekly "Marvel Must Haves" promotion for each episode of the series, including apparel, accessories, toys, a replica Captain America shield, and collectible Topps trading cards for the digital card game Marvel Collect!
Reception
Audience viewership
Disney+ announced that "New World Order" was the most-watched series premiere for the service in its opening weekend (March 19 to 22, 2021), besting the premieres of WandaVision and the second season of The Mandalorian. Using its proprietary Automatic Content Recognition technology on opted-in smart TVs, Samba TV reported that 1.7 million households watched the episode in its opening weekend. Nielsen Media Research, who measure the number of minutes watched by United States audiences on television sets, listed The Falcon and the Winter Soldier as the second-most-watched original series across streaming services for the week of March 15–21, with 495 million minutes viewed. This is around 9.9 million views based on the episode's running time, and is ahead of the 434 million minutes of WandaVision that were viewed in its premiere week.
Critical response
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 92% approval rating with an average score of 7.6/10 based on 133 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, "An ambitious blend of big screen action and intimate storytelling, The Falcon and the Winter Soldiers opening episode makes a strong case that smaller MCU moments can still pack a serious punch."
Giving the episode a "B+", Matt Webb Mitovich from TVLine said the episode promised feature film-quality action as well as overdue insight into the characters of Wilson and Barnes. He called the opening set piece "a piece of filmmaking" that upgraded Wilson from a sidekick to a lead hero, and also enjoyed the intimacy of Wilson's scenes with his sister. Matt Purslow at IGN gave the episode an 8 out of 10, saying it was somber, measured, and possessed "genuine depth". Purslow praised the action and felt the episode thoughtfully tackled themes such as trauma, duty, and legacy, especially highlighting the scene where Sam and Sarah attempt to get a loan from the bank which he called "brilliantly multi-faceted". Writing for Variety, Daniel D'Addario said the episode's action was "lighter and more fluid than the dirgey relentlessness of Avengers megabattles" but also felt it had a "curiosity about what it is to be a superhero" that D'Addario felt was missing from the MCU films. Daniel Fienberg from The Hollywood Reporter felt he needed to review the episode as two shows: Wilson's show features "the boffo action opening, and also a richer exploration of the lives of those left behind in the Snap and of the internal contradictions of being a Black superhero in a country that doesn't fully embrace Blackness", adding there was an overall "freshness" with Wilson's story; Barnes' story, however, "feels basically like the Marvel shows Jeph Loeb produced for Netflix" which was "familiar and glum". Fienberg was looking forward to when the two characters would begin to interact.
Entertainment Weeklys Chancellor Agard felt the opening set piece was Marvel wanting to prove that the series would match the production value of the films. He felt the strongest aspect of the episode was its examination of Wilson and Barnes, with Mackie and Stan having "more complex material to play than they ever got in the movies". Agard also enjoyed the bank loan scene, since it presented an interesting obstacle for Wilson and acknowledged the "harsh realities about being Black in America", and was excited to see how Walker's introduction as the new Captain America would intersect with the Flag Smashers. However, Agard criticized the episode's pacing which he felt prioritized the season's story over the episode's, comparing this to the Marvel Netflix series. He was also critical of Mackie and Stan not having any scenes together. He gave "New World Order" a "B". Agard's colleague Christian Holub described the episode as "fairly straightforward" and felt the series would most likely not lend itself to all the theorizing that the previous Marvel Studios' series, WandaVision, had. Like Agard, Holub enjoyed the action particularly in the opening, but was "less engaged" with the episode's character-focused scenes.
Sulagna Misra gave the episode a "B" for The A.V. Club, calling it a "redux" of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) without Captain America. Misra said the opening sequence was "surprisingly inventive", likening it to Top Gun (1986), but was unclear how the ideals of the Flag Smashers aligned with each other and felt the ending of the episode was more abrupt than a cliffhanger. She also felt the episode had too much exposition and setup, but said its character moments "feel true and fleshed out" and she was hopeful that the next episode would include scenes between Wilson and Barnes. Alan Sepinwall at Rolling Stone said the episode "mostly echoes what we've seen before", comparing it to a big-budget version of the Marvel Netflix series. He felt the opening sequences had some "cool individual beats", but ultimately found it to be repetitive and lacking uniqueness for Wilson's character. He described the rest of the episode as "a lot of languid shots of one hero or the other feeling bummed about the current state of their lives, and about the state of the world", and was critical of Wilson and Barnes not having scenes together. Giving the series 3 out of 5 stars, Alec Bojalad of Den of Geek said the episode came across as a longer Marvel Studios: Legends recap episode and was frustrated that Barnes' story covered "a lot of the same ground that the character has trod thus far" unlike Wilson's.
Accolades
In response to criticism that he should not have been nominated for an Emmy award due to his short screentime in the episode, Cheadle said that he did not "really get it either".

District of Carmarthen
|
Carmarthen District Council () was one of six local government districts of the county of Dyfed, west Wales, from 1974 to 1996.
History
The district was formed on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, covering the area of four former districts from the administrative county of Carmarthenshire, which were abolished at the same time:
Carmarthen Municipal Borough
Carmarthen Rural District
Newcastle Emlyn Rural District
Newcastle Emlyn Urban District
Carmarthen district was abolished 22 years later under the Local Government (Wales) Act 1994, with the area becoming part of the new Carmarthenshire unitary authority on 1 April 1996.
Political control
The first election to the council was held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority before coming into its powers on 1 April 1974. A majority of the seats on the council were held by independents throughout the council's existence.
The most significant political grouping (as distinct from the independents) was the Labour Party who held a number of seats in Carmarthen Town and the former mining wards of the Gwendraeth Valley.

Writing for Billboard, Lyndsey Havens ranked it the third best song on Twelve Carat Toothache, noting it "impossible not to smile" at its titular lyric, "I like you, I do," further going on to praise Doja Cat's verse and harmonies which make the song "sweeter."
Commercial performance
Following the release of Twelve Carat Toothache, "I Like You (A Happier Song)" debuted at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. The song later peaked at number three in its 16th week on the chart.
