76388898 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucienne%20Lanaz | Lucienne Lanaz | Lucienne Lanaz (born 1937 in Zurich) is a Swiss documentary filmmaker. Her work was recognized in 2017 with the Prize for the Arts, Literature and Sciences of the Bernese Jura council (Conseil du Jura bernois, CJB).
Career
Lucienne Lanaz grew up in Zurich and lives and works in a farmhouse in Grandval in the Bernese Jura. Her various training as a commercial clerk and sports teacher and her work as a secretary at the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC)]] and as a simultaneous translator at film festivals kept her on the move. From 1972 she worked as an assistant in Swiss film productions. In 1974, she worked with Marcel Leiser on the documentary Le Bonheur à septante ans (Late Happiness), and with her first documentary Fire, Smoke, Sausages (The Smoking Kitchen, 1976), she became an independent director and producer. She founded her own production company, Jura-Films, in order to release her films herself. Because the situation for female filmmakers was catastrophic, a number of female filmmakers, including Isa Hesse, Greti Kläy, Isolde Marxer and Tula Roy, got together and founded the association CH-Filmfrauen in 1975, which was active until the end of the 1980s. A text by Lucienne Lanaz about the women's film festival in Sorrento around 1977 describes the situation in the 1980s and 1990s:
In 1979/80, co-directed with Anne Cuneo, Erich Liebi and Urs Bolliger, she published the 75-minute humorous documentary on the Swiss film newsreel Ciné-journal au féminin (The Image of Women in the Swiss Film Newsreel), a research project to examine this medium for representations of women. Out of 9000 contributions, 300 were also about women and 12 were only about women. From the 1940s until 1975, the Schweizer Filmwochenschau broadcast current information in the cinema before the main film, which was intended to inform objectively and strengthen the independent spirit.
Lanaz has been an honorary member of the Swiss Association of Film Directors, a member of the Swiss Cinema Society Committee for 5 years, a member of the Photo, Cinema and Video Commission of the Canton of Bern for 8 years and an active member of the Alpinale-Vorarlberg, Austria film working group for 15 years.
Lanaz has worked at various international festivals. She was president, European commissioner, festival coordinator and member of the international jury of the Bludenz Festival (1990, 1993, 1997) and member of the international jury of the Bilbao (1978), Imola (1996), San Giovanni Lupatoto (1997), Oberhausen (2001) and Leeds (2001) festivals. In 2008, she gave film readings at the Freiburg School of Social Work as part of the Freiburg International Film Festival.

76388972 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024%20Kolkata%20building%20collapse | 2024 Kolkata building collapse | On 17 March 2024 at 23:49 IST, a building under construction collapsed in the Garden Reach area of Kolkata, India, killing at least nine people and injuring at least 17.
Casualties
According to early media reports, several people were stuck in the debris of the building, some were thought to be dead. 18 people have sustained injuries, 13 of that is still undergoing treatment at SSKM Hospital and 5 of them has been discharged. Emergency personnel raced to the scene to save the lives of the surviving and tend to the wounded.
Response and Rescue Operations
The Kolkata Police, Disaster Management Department, National Disaster Management Department, Fire Brigade and Civil Defence, together have started rescue operations with emergency response teams and firefighters, quickly mobilized to the collapse scene. Rescue attempts were started to find all those who could have been trapped under the debris. The rescue operations were stopped at Monday night and again resumed at 07:30 AM on Tuesday morning, March 19.
Investigation and Causes
After the tragedy, an investigation into what caused the structure to collapse was soon launched. Initial investigations suggested that the collapse might have been caused by structural flaws or building errors, although the precise reason was still being looked into.
Reactions
The local community and beyond were rocked by news of the building's fall. The area's construction projects' safety regulations and regulatory control have drawn criticism. The public was given the assurance by the government that a comprehensive inquiry would be carried out to ascertain the reason behind the collapse and to avert such occurrences in the future.
Aftermath
After the Garden Reach Building collapsed, there were attempts to support the victims and their families and deal with safety issues pertaining to continuing construction projects in the area. To ensure that building laws and regulations are followed, authorities promised to take strict measures to ensure that disasters like these don't happen again.

76388982 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sapiens%20dominabitur%20astris | Sapiens dominabitur astris | Sapiens dominabitur astris (Latin for "the wise man shall master the stars") is a Latin maxim initially used in astrology, theology, philosophy and literature from the late 13th to late 17th centuries. The phrase has been traditionally attributed to Greco-Roman scientist Ptolemy, but modern scholarship views it as a compilation from two later sources. Presently, the phrase is featured on the emblem of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine.
History
The phrase began to be used in the late 13th century by both astrologers and their detractors. To astrologers, the phrase meant the mastery of astrological knowledge to predict destiny while for others it implied allegiance to Christian belief on free will and dominance of reason over fatalism and superstition.
Modern scholarship views the phrase as being likely derived from the pseudo-Ptolemaic work Centiloquium and passages from the introduction to the Introductorium maius in astrologiam (Kitāb al-mudkhal al-kabīr) by the Islamic astrologer Abu Ma'shar al-Balkhi. Both works were translated into Latin in the 1130s, making them available to most Western scholars of the time. One passage of the Centiloquium stated that "a skillful person acquainted with the nature of the stars is enabled to avert many of their effects and to prepare himself for those effects before they arrive", while another passage stated that "a sagacious mind improves the operation of the heavens, as a skillful farmer, by cultivation, improves nature". Al-Balkhi, in turn, mentioned "the benefit to the wise masters of stars through foreknowledge of the power of the conditions of the stars in this world which is evident to them".
While the phrase uses the word astra for "stars", which is synonymous with stellae, in an astronomical and astrological context the word sidus has been used more often.
Modern usage
In 2016, sapiens dominabitur astris appeared on the new emblem of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of Ukraine. The phrase was chosen during the Russo-Ukrainian War in response to the Russian military intelligence's motto "above us only stars".

76389011 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clotilde%20Catal%C3%A1n%20de%20Oc%C3%B3n%20y%20Gayol%C3%A1 | Clotilde Catalán de Ocón y Gayolá | Clotilde Catalán de Ocón y Gayolá (1863 - 1946) was a Spanish entomologist and poet, noted for her study of lepidoptera in the Sierra de Albarracín. She was the first Spanish woman to actively practice entomology, and was the author of several poems under the pseudonym La Hija del Cabriel. Her older sister, Blanca Catalán de Ocón y Gayolá, became the first Spanish female botanist.
Early life and education
Clotilde Catalán de Ocón y Gayolá was born in Calatayud in the Province of Zaragoza on 1 March 1863 to Loreto de Gayolá (1839–1887) and Manuel Catalán de Ocón (1822–1899), members of an aristocratic Aragonese family. She spent most of her childhood and youth in Monreal del Campo, her father's ancestral village. The family spent long periods of time at "La Campana", a house they owned in Valdecabriel, sited between the municipalities of El Vallecillo and Frías de Albarracín, Teruel, in the Sierra de Albarracín. Her mother had been educated in Switzerland, and encouraged her two daughters, Clotilde and Blanca, to develop their interests in botany and entomology and instilled in them a love of nature. Her older sister, Blanca Catalán de Ocón y Gayolá, became the first female Spanish botanist.
Entomology
Although Clotilde Catalán did not pursue formal studies, she trained with Bernardo Zapater y Marconell, Canon of Albarracín and one of the greatest botanical scholars in Spain, who put her in contact with other scientists working in field. She became a notable collector of insects and formed a collection of lepidoptera that she gradually classified. Part of this collection was published in the journal Miscelánea Turolense in 1894, under the epigraph Fauna entomológica turolense with the subtitle Catálogo de Lepidópteros que han sido cazados en el Valle de Valdecabriel por la Señorita Clotilde Catalán de Ocón. The piece was published under Bernardo Zapater's name, and was a list of 54 butterflies with their corresponding scientific names. It emphasised the importance of Catalán's entomological collection. Zapater wrote in the article that "The young and distinguished Miss Clotilde Catalán de Ocón ... has attracted the attention of entomologists for the rare species she has been able to capture in the Valdecabriel Valley, being able to cite among many others, Colias Edussa, Hyale, Polyommatus Gordius, Lyaena Baetica and Coridon, Lyccena Damon, Melitaca Artemis, a beautiful Melitacca, Parthenie very rare in our country, and Coenonympha iphioides which is a very interesting subalpine variety".
Poetry
Catalán was a poet as well as an entemologist, and wrote from childhood until well into the twentieth century. She was best known amongst her contemporaries for her work as a poet. References to the area in which she lived abound in her texts, with references to “A mi valle”, “El sueño del Cabriel” and “La sierra de Albarracín”, and also featured in her elegies Súplica, Tristeza, Cantares, Del Pasado, Ayer y Hoy o Adiós a Valdecabriel. She signed them all as La Hija del Cabriel (The daughter of Cabriel). Her pastoral poems revolved around human virtues and the sensations perceived during contact with nature. She regularly featured in the contemporary press under the pseudonym of "La hija del Cabriel", with compositions of a romantic and melancholic nature. On 1 February 1888, the Revista del Turia published her Contestación a la poesía 'El ruiseñor de mi jardín''', publicada por D. José Mª Catalán en un periódico de Alcañiz. In El Turolense, she published A mi valle, A Manolita y José María, Adiós al valle, No te olvido... She published A una mosca in El Eco de Teruel, Ante la tumba de mi madre (To a fly in El Eco de Teruel, Before my mother's grave) in Miscelánea turolense, (a magazine published in Madrid between 1891-1901, which showcased the culture of the province of Teruel including articles on botany). Other writings were publised in the Cancionero de los Amantes de Teruel''.
Later life
After the death of her mother in 1887 and of her sister Blanca in 1904, she moved to Figueras to a property belonging to her mother's family. Although she had maintained a close relationship with Blanca, Catalan gradually lost contact with her nephews, nieces and brother-in-law following her sister's early death at only 43. After living for a time in Madrid, she settled permanently in Barcelona and died there, at the age of eighty-three, on 12 May 1946. She was buried in the family vault in the Figueras cemetery.
Commemoration
Catalán made some real estate investments in the Ciudad Lineal on the outskirts of Madrid. For many years there was a street in the area dedicated to "Clotilde Catalán", which was still in existence in the mid-1950s, although it was later renamed.

76389053 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul%20J%C3%A9r%C3%B4me | Jean-Paul Jérôme | Jean-Paul Jérôme (February 18, 1928 August 14, 2004) was a painter, designer and sculptor, who was a co-founder of Les Plasticiens in 1955. He was a key figure in Quebec's abstract art scene of the second half of the 20th century.
Career
Jérôme was born in Montreal and as a young person studied the work of Vincent Van Gogh, then attended the École des Beaux-Arts de Montréal (1944-1949). Among his subjects at the school was fresco painting with Stanley Cosgrove. Later, while working at Radio Canada in props and as a decorator, Jérôme's paintings were shown in the annual Art Association of Montreal Spring Shows (1951-1953), in the Quebec Provincial Exhibition of 1952 and in a first solo show at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (1954). In these years he also met Louis Belzile, Fernand Toupin and Jauran (alias Rodolphe de Repentigny).
In 1955 he joined with Belzile, Jauran and Toupin to write the "Manifeste des Plasticiens", a reaction against the paintings of Borduas and his followers towards more geometric structure and control. In 1956 Jérôme became a member of the Non-Figurative Artists Association of Montreal.
He travelled to Paris in 1956 and remained there till 1958, also travelling to Italy, Switzerland and Austria. While abroad, he met Giacometti and Vasarely and found he shared with artist René Mortensen and others an affinity for a harmony between shapes and colours. He also learned from the wide variety of artists he met about the multitude of approaches open to abstraction.
In 1957 he had a solo show at Galerie Arnaud in Paris and Montreal professor and writer Jean Simard wrote about his work, saying he used Canadian and specifically northern colour.
Upon his return to Montreal, he taught visual arts at the École des Beaux-Arts in Montreal until 1973, when he set up a large studio in his former family home. In 1978, he was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts.
Jérôme has had numerous exhibitions at private and public galleries. In 2001, the Musée du Bas Saint-Laurent had a retrospective exhibition titled Jean-Paul Jérôme: modern vibrations of his paintings and in 2005, the Musée des Beaux Arts de Sherbrooke devoted a retrospective to the Plasticiens. A documentary film titled Jean-Paul Jérôme: Color, Light, Form was made about Jérôme's work which was shown at the Festival International du Film sur l'Art de Québec in 2018. The Musée d’art contemporain de Baie-Saint-Paul held an exhibition of his work in 2019 and also in 2019, the Joliette Art Museum held an exhibition titled Jean-Paul Jérôme: The Lyrical Abstractions.

76389064 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strengths%20test | Strengths test | Strengths test is a psychometric assessment developed by Dmitry Golubnichy from the HIGH5 Test. The company launched the test in 2017. Test takers are introduced to the assessment which contains 120 paired statements. It takes up to 20 minutes to finish the assessment. With paired statements, test takers are provided with the option to select which corresponds with their option of the paired statement. Upon completing the assessment you are presented with the report that outlines test takers' 5 strengths areas they scored highest in, an explanation of each strength, and how to use those strengths for personal and professional development.
Dmitry and his team developed the test using the principles of strengths-based practice and positive psychology. They have arrived to the current specification of the HIGH5 model. It measures 20 applicable strengths across 4 strength domains. The 4 strength domains are: doing, feeling, motivating and thinking. Within those domains, there are 20 strength areas:
Doing: Believer, Deliverer, Focus Expert, Problem Solver, Time Keeper;
Feeling: Chameleon, Coach, Emphathizer, Optimist, Peace Keeper;
Motivating: Catalyst, Commander, Self-Believer, Storyteller, Winner;
Thinking: Analyst, Brainstormer, Philomath, Strategist, Thinker.
From 2017 to 2024, approximately 5,000,000 people took the strengths test and 25,000,000 strengths have been identified. Their platform helps individuals further develop their strengths, while managers, team leaders, and coaches can train and grow the strengths of their teams.
Each psychometric assessment or tool should be valid and reliable. That's why there are 3 major indicators for assessing the validity and reliability of any psychometric test. Those are: discriminant validity, internal consistency and test-retest reliability.
The discriminant validity's maximum accepted value is 0.7-0.8, while HIGH5's strengths test is 0.29. Higher scores mean would imply that there is not too much difference between the two strengths evaluated.
A coefficient called Cronbach’s Alpha is designed to measure internal consistency and its maximum accepted value is 0.7, while the strengths test has 0.87. Any lower values imply that questions might not measure the intended strength.
Repeatability is the correlation between the test results today and the results of retaking it after a significant period of time. The strengths test has a value of 0.81. The minimum acceptable correlation is 0.7. The higher the value is, the more consistent the test results are across time.
This test is usable for various situations and scenarios, from personal development and growth to professional development, career choices and organizational recruitment.

76389072 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco%20Trombetti | Marco Trombetti | Marco Trombetti (born March 14th, 1976) is an Italian computer scientist, entrepreneur, investor, and ocean sailor. He co-founded Translated, a pioneer of artificial intelligence in the language industry. Through Translated, he helped develop the first AI-powered open-source Computer Assisted Translation (CAT) tool, Matecat, which also introduced the first adaptive machine translation system. He is considered one of the most influential leaders and innovators in the language industry. His research on progress toward the language singularity, presented during a keynote at the Association for Machine Translation in the Americas (AMTA) conference in 2022, has provided invaluable insights into the field of artificial intelligence.
Early Life and Education
Trombetti was raised in Rome and started programming at a very early age. Between 14 and 19, Trombetti distributed software he developed on Fidonet BBS. Among the software he distributed was ArcyCD, which efficiently converted music CDs into cassettes, and MoneyMaker, which allowed small shop owners to use barcode readers, which were only available to the largest store. While studying astrophysics at Roma Tre University, Trombetti continued developing technical solutions, specifically for the digital mapping, information retrieval, and image manipulation markets. In 1999, with Gianluca Granero, he created an online community WebChatWorld, whose traffic asset was acquired by Doubleclick, now part of Google; the capital gained was used to fund Translated.
Business career
Translated
During an Erasmus Programme year at the Joseph Fourier University in Grenoble (France), Trombetti met his future co-founder and wife, Isabelle Andrieu. In 1999, he dropped out of Roma Tre University, and together, they founded Translated, one of the very first online translation services. They aimed to “allow everyone to understand and be understood in their own language” and promote universal communication. By providing translators with the most advanced translation software free of charge, they aimed to foster a mutually beneficial relationship between translators and machine translation, where translators would teach machines to translate better, and machines would improve in real time to provide better translation suggestions.
To realize this vision as CEO and CTO of Translated, Trombetti led the investment in research and development of a computer-assisted translation (CAT) tool to speed up the translation process and the first adaptive machine translation system to enable mutually successful human-machine interaction. In 2022, Gartner recognized Translated as a leading provider of AI-enabled translation services. The following year, the IDC MarketScape acknowledged Translated's Adaptive MT system as the world's leading enterprise translation AI.
Memopal
In 2007, Trombetti, together with Gianluca Granero, started Memopal, one of the first cloud storage companies. Marco served the company as the CEO until the company was acquired by Defenx, a publicly listed security company.
Pi Campus
In 2007, Trombetti, along with Isabelle Andrieu and Gianluca Granero, founded Pi Campus, first as a place to host the investments he made in startups, then as a startup district and later as a venture firm. In 2016, former CVC Capital Partners co-founder Roberto Lombardi joined the company by acquiring an undisclosed amount of shares. Trombetti oversees Pi Campus' investments, which include more than 50 in Europe and the U.S. It is one of the many firms that regularly invests with Y Combinator in startups that have just graduated from Y Combinator's accelerator program. Under the Pi Campus brand, Trombetti published a book, The New Prince, exploring the counterintuitive reasons and strategies that have led new generation of entrepreneurs to success. The book is a collection of essays written by Trombetti to answer the recurring questions asked by founders of the startups he has invested in.

In 2017, together with researcher Marcello Federico and funded by Translated and the Fondazione Bruno Kessler, Trombetti led the creation of ModernMT, the first commercial application of the Transformer (deep learning architecture) technology to provide adaptive neural machine translation.
In 2023, an independent evaluation by CSA Research recognized ModernMT as the most advanced implementation of responsive MT.
The same year, researcher and MT consultant Achim Ruoop designed an MT evaluation and comparison toolkit to compare adaptive and generic MT solutions in a real-world scenario and test ModernMT against other leading, generic, publicly available solutions. The results confirmed ModernMT's ability to perform better than any competitor. In 2024, Translated repeated the test with the latest version of the MT systems tested by Ruoop and added GPT-4 to the competition. ModernMT performed the best in most evaluation tests.
Pi School
In 2017, together with Jamshid Alamuti, Trombetti founded Pi School, an innovative educational venture to develop a new class of AI specialists. Pi School provides personalized coaching from world-renowned AI authorities and experienced engineers selected through a global application process. Students must apply their new skills to industry projects provided by their employers, tech companies, corporations, or fast-growing startups.
Pi School's scientific advisory board includes Marcello Federico (Senior Principal Scientist at Amazon), Hassan Sawaf (Founder of aiXplain and former AI Director at Facebook and Amazon), and Alexander Waibel (former Director of Language Technologies at Facebook).
Contributions to the Language Industry
Open Source CAT Tool With Built-In Machine Translation
In 2010, Trombetti began promoting the idea of a free CAT tool with a built-in neural machine translation system that could learn from corrections in real time. He rallied the Fondazione Bruno Kessler, the Le Mans University, and the University of Edinburgh around the project. The newly formed consortium won a three-year grant from the European Union's Seventh Framework Program for Research, Technological Development and Demonstration. The consortium set aside the neural machine translation component and focused on the tool, released as open-source software in 2014 under the name MateCat. The first version of Matecat included an adaptive static MT system developed by Translated, allowing the user to use a different machine translation solution. Trombetti was involved in the design of the tool and led the development team, pursuing research in machine learning models that could integrate machine translation into a human translation workflow.
In 2015, Matecat won the TAUS Game Changer Innovation Contest for the development of an integrated, adaptive, static machine translation system inside a CAT tool. The same year, it was recognized as one of the most successful AI initiatives funded by the 7th Research Framework Programme of the European Union.
Adaptive Neural Machine Translation
In 2014, as a follow-up of the Matecat project, Trombetti organized a new research consortium consisting of Translated, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, the University of Edinburgh, and TAUS to develop a neural machine translation system that could improve in real-time based on the corrections it received.
In 2017, the resulting system, backed by a research grant from the European Union through the 2020 Innovation Action (2015–2017), debuted as ModernMT.
Ocean Sailing as a Marketing Tool
In 2020, companies still considered the adoption of AI-based translation solutions risky. Recognizing that the spray-and-pray approach wasn't working to sell Translated's new AI-first localization platform, TranslationOS, Trombetti began looking for a smart way to identify innovators and early adopters in the translation industry. Despite being completely new to ocean sailing, he decided to participate in the Ocean Globe Race, a round-the-world regatta celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Whitbread Round the World Race, which limited the use of technology and the presence of professionals on board. Translated's sailboat was named Translated 9, a reference to T9 (predictive text) technology, the first language model used to assist typing on early cell phones. Trombetti called out for interested parties worldwide to assemble the crew, including himself as co-skipper. A twin boat in San Francisco was dedicated to providing an offshore training experience for people in the localization industry who wondered if they could become part of the Translated 9's crew. The training in San Francisco was conducted by the famous yachtsman Paul Cayard, winner of the 1998 Whitbread. This approach allowed Translated to understand potential customers' propensity for adventure and, therefore, for risk and innovation.
In preparation for the Ocean Globe Race, Trombetti participated in the 2023 Cape 2 Rio Race with Translated 9. This was his first ocean regatta.
On the hull of Translated 9, Trombetti wrote: "We believe in humans." This motto expresses the company's belief in people who challenge themselves to go beyond what others think is possible. Translated 9 won legs 1 and 2 of the Ocean Globe Race 2023 and was leading leg 3 until it was forced to retire after successfully rounding Cape Horn due to a hull breach. Under Trombetti's leadership, the crew was able to repair the hull and return for the start of Leg 4 to complete the round-the-world regatta. In March 2024, SeaHorse Magazine named Trombetti Sailor of the Month.
Personal life
Trombetti is married to linguist Isabelle Andrieu and is the father of three children. He is fluent in Italian, English, and French.

76389124 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Mona%20Lisa%20Curse | The Mona Lisa Curse | The Mona Lisa Curse is a 2008 documentary directed by Mandy Chang starring Australian art critic Robert Hughes. The film was made by Oxford Film & Television and Channel 4. It won best arts documentary at the International Emmys in 2009. It also won a Grierson Award, the Rose d'Or, and a Banff World Television Award.
Synopsis
Robert Hughes argues that Mona Lisa has large influence over the art world because of its 1963 American tour, where the painting was treated like a celebrity on a publicity tour. The art was treated like a commodity. According to Hughes, this event marks the beginning of the degradation of the quality of modern art and the domination of the art market by celebrity artists and wealthy investors, which he describes as a curse. The documentary is polemical with Hughes describing artists such as Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst and Richard Prince as celebrity businessmen, and criticizing museums such as The Louvre and The Guggenheim for marketing themselves as commercial brands. For Hughes, the financialization of the art market changed art's relationship to the world and undermined its critical purpose in contemporary culture.
The film has a 75 minute run time.

76389237 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder%20of%20Ahora%20Murthi%20Krishnasamy | Murder of Ahora Murthi Krishnasamy | On 21 December 1973, nearby a Kampong Kapor community centre, 24-year-old crane driver Ahora Murthi Krishnasamy was stabbed to death by a Malaysian labourer after he sought to resolve a previous dispute between the killer and Murthi's friend. The murderer, K. Vijayan Krishnan, was arrested and charged with murder. Vijayan put up a defence that he was gravely provoked into using a chopper to inflict 11 stab wounds on Murthi and thus caused Murthi's death. However, the defence was rejected on the grounds that Vijayan had intentionally killed Murthi and was not provoked into killing Murthi, and hence, Vijayan was found guilty of murdering Murthi and sentenced to death in November 1974. Vijayan's execution was carried out on 30 April 1976, after the higher courts rejected Vijayan's appeals and confirmed his death sentence.
Fatal stabbing
On the night of 21 December 1973, a young man was stabbed to death outside a Kampong Kapor community centre, and a youth was arrested for the stabbing, which was classified as murder. The motive for the stabbing was not known at that point of time, and the police investigations were conducted to find out the reason behind the killing.
The victim was identified as 24-year-old Ahora Murthi Krishnasamy, who worked as a crane driver at the time of his death. Professor Chao Tzee Cheng, a senior forensic pathologist, conducted an autopsy on the victim, and he found that Murthi sustained a total of 11 stab wounds on his body, and one of them penetrated the heart while another had cut through the right lung, and both these injuries were sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death.
On 23 December 1974, the suspect, a 21-year-old Malaysian whose name was K. Vijayan Krishnan, was charged with murder under the name "Sukumaran Krishnan". Prior to the murder, Vijayan came from the Malaysian state of Johor, and he worked as a labourer. He was later remanded at the Central Police Division for further investigations after his indictment in court.
Murder trial
On 11 November 1974, K. Vijayan Krishnan officially stood trial at the High Court for the murder of Ahora Murthi Krishnasamy. Defence lawyer Ng Kong Yeam represented Vijayan, while Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Lawrence Ang led the prosecution, and the trial was presided over by two judges - Justice T Kulasekaram and Justice A V Winslow.
The trial court was told that one night in December, just days prior to the murder, there was a dispute between two roommates living at a Serangoon rental flat, due to the two men kicking each other while sleeping and it evolved into an argument, and Vijayan, who knew one of the roommates, had made threats against the other party and his friends. A man named Mutayan, who was threatened by Vijayan, decided to seek the help of Murthi to help bury the hatchet between the parties involved in that particular dispute. Subramaniam Gopal, Murthi's friend who was present with him at the time of the murder, testified that he and Murthi went together to the house in Kampong Kapor to look for Vijayan, hoping to resolve the matter together with Vijayan, and he added that Murthi was intoxicated by alcohol when he made the request. Upon the duo's arrival at Vijayan's house, Murthi and Vijayan shook hands after they came to an agreement to resolve the matter. However, based on the facts brought forward, Murthi began to shout repeatedly while in a drunken state, and he allegedly said, "Who has given houses to Malaysians?" when he asked who Vijayan's girlfriend was, and he also challenged Murthi to a fight. According to the witnesses present at the scene, Vijayan went to grab a meat chopper from his house and he attacked Murthi, and gave chase after Murthi. By the time they reached Kampong Kapor community centre, Vijayan had stabbed Murthi 11 times, and it caused Murthi to die from the stabbing. Vijayan himself was arrested on the scene for the murder, and many witnesses identified him as the perpetrator behind the fatal stabbing of Murthi.
During Subramaniam's time on the stand, the defence subjected him to a severe cross-examination and brought forward their contention that Murthi had in fact, attacked Vijayan with a chopper and it made Vijayan acted in self-defence by disarming Murthi and used the chopper to kill him, which was denied by Subramaniam. The defence also suggested to Subramaniam that Murthi had assaulted and continually abused Vijayan, and Subramaniam had took part in the assault, and these were likewise denied by Subramaniam. The prosecution later re-examined Subramaniam, who stated that Murthi was clearly drunk from the onset and it would have been apparent to anyone else at the scene. At one point while making his testimony, Subramaniam was feeling unwell and another witness had to take his place to testify in court.
Vijayan's main defences were sudden and grave provocation and self-defence. After he opted to enter his defence, Vijayan testified that Murthi approached him and threatened him that he would kill him since he had previously murdered people before, and aside from verbally abusing Vijayan, Murthi allegedly assaulted him and wanted to use a chopper to use on Vijayan, and Subramaniam also came to beat him. Vijayan claimed that he was angered at Murthi's actions and abuse, and a struggle therefore ensued between him and Murthi, and the chopper fell onto the ground. Vijayan testified that he quickly retrieved the chopper before Murthi could do so, and therefore attacked him using the chopper. Vijayan denied that he intentionally murdered Murthi, and he summarily insisted that he killed Murthi in a moment of uncontrollable anger and instinctively out of self-defence.
On 26 November 1974, the trial judges - Justice A V Winslow and Justice T Kulasekaram - delivered their verdict, with Justice Winslow pronouncing the decision in court. Justice Winslow stated that the judges unanimously considered Subramaniam and many other prosecution witnesses as "truthful witnesses", and they did not believe Vijayan's story. The judges accepted the arguments of DPP Ang that there was no chopper attack or assault initiated by Murthi prior to the stabbing, and hence his claims of self-defence were not to be believed. Additionally, the judges took issue with the other defence of sudden and grave provocation, finding that Vijayan was not provoked and had not lost his self-control at the time of the murder, given the fact that Murthi's words did not amount to provocative remarks and taking into consideration Murthi's state of intoxication at the material time, it was clear that, per the prosecution's stand, Vijayan wanted to take this opportunity to finish off Murthi once and for all, and this was corroborated by Vijayan's decision to grab ahold of the chopper, which showed that he intended to murder Murthi.
Based on the above findings, the trial court decided that there were sufficient grounds to return with a guilty verdict of murder in Vijayan's case. Therefore, 21-year-old K. Vijayan Krishnan was found guilty of murder, and sentenced to death by hanging.
Appeal process
On 22 April 1975, Vijayan's appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal. The appellate court's three judges - Supreme Court judges Choor Singh and Tan Ah Tah, and Chief Justice Wee Chong Jin - dismissed the appeal on the grounds that the defence of sudden and grave provocation was untenable in light of Vijayan's disproportionate violence to the provocation given by Murthi in his drunken state. They also referred to precedent court cases from India and cited that based on the "reasonable man test", any person belonging to the same class of society as Vijayan would not have become so provoked as to lose his self-control in similar situations or mental backgrounds like Vijayan's, which was also the reason behind the dismissal of Vijayan's appeal. Vijayan was defended by veteran lawyer and opposition politician David Saul Marshall, while the prosecution was led by Tan Teow Yeow during the appeal session.
On 18 December 1975, Vijayan's second legal appeal was rejected by the Privy Council in London. Similarly, on the same day, the Privy Council also rejected the appeals of both Pehn Kwan Jin and Jorge Belardo Belleza against their death sentences. Pehn, a seaman, was found guilty of murdering a vegetable seller Tan Eng Kim in 1973 while Belleza, a mechanic of Filipino descent, was convicted of killing his lover Alice Ong in 1974. Pehn and Vijayan were both hanged since then; Pehn was executed on 16 April 1976 while Belleza's date of execution was unknown.
In a final bid to escape the gallows, Vijayan petitioned for clemency from the President of Singapore in February 1976. However, his death sentence was not commuted due to the rejection of his plea.
Execution
K. Vijayan Krishnan was hanged in Changi Prison at dawn on 30 April 1976.
Aftermath
In the aftermath of Vijayan's execution, his case became a precedent case study with regards to the defence of sudden and grave provocation.
Vijayan's case had an effect on other murder cases in Singapore. Notably, in the case of Ithinin Kamari, who was charged with the double murder of Mohamed Johar Selamat and Mohd Said Abdul Majid in 1989, his defence of sudden and grave provocation was rejected in accordance to the facts laid out by the Vijayan case, due to Ithinin's actions of stabbing both Mohamed Johar and Mohd Said to death were out of proportion to the alleged verbal abuse he received from the victims, and his defence of sudden and grave provocation thus failed. Ithinin was therefore convicted and given two death sentences for the double murder in 1992, and he was since put to death after losing his appeal in 1993.
Also, in 1998, Vijayan's case was recalled in light of the landmark ruling of the Kwan Cin Cheng case, where it pertained to a man of the same name charged with the murder of his girlfriend Phang Ai Looi. The ruling, which sentenced Kwan to life imprisonment for manslaughter, stated that per the "reasonable man test", Kwan's actions of killing Phang in an uncontrollable rage due to Phang insulting him and claiming she was happier with another man were done due to loss of self-control, based on the mental background where Kwan shared a de facto husband-wife relationship with Phang despite not being officially married, and his defence of sudden and grave provocation was hence accepted. The Vijayan case and several others (including Ithinin) were recalled among the iconic cases of a murder suspect raising a defence of sudden and grave provocation in court against the murder charge.

76389254 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube%20Tower | Cube Tower | The Cube Tower is an under-construction skyscraper in Batumi, Georgia. At 850 feet (260 meters), it will be the tallest building in Georgia. The building is estimated to be completed in 2027, and will have over 300 residential apartments and a rooftop observation deck/terrace.
History
The Cube Tower is the result of a skyscraper boom in Batumi, and was brought up by the Metropol Architecture Group. The tower went through multiple different designs, eventually being settled on a 42-story, 850 foot (260 meter)-tall tower shaped like a stack of cubes. The tower was going to originally be 55 stories, but complications within Metropol had the tower's height reduced to 850 feet and 47 stories.
Design
The Cube Tower is designed to be multiple cubes, each slightly offset to the other. The base of the tower will be a restaurant and parking lot, and there will be an estimated 300 apartments inside of the tower. The Cube Tower is only a short distance from other notable buildings in Batumi, such as the Porta Batumi Tower.

76389255 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duopsony | Duopsony | In economics, a duopsony is a market structure in which only two buyers substantially control the market as the major purchasers of goods and services offered by many would-be sellers. The microeconomic theory of duopsony assumes two entities to have market power over all sellers as the only two purchasers of a good or service. This is a similar power to that of a Duopolist, which can influence the price for its buyers in a Duopoly, where multiple buyers have only two sellers of a good or service available to purchase from.
Characteristics
Duopsony is characterized by a small number of buyers and a large number of sellers, which results in buyers having significant market power over sellers. With only two buyers, suppliers have limited options to sell their goods or services, which allows the buyers to exert greater influence over price and other terms of trade.
In a duopsony, buyers may also engage in strategic behavior, such as colluding to reduce the price they pay for goods or services or engaging in exclusive dealing arrangements with suppliers. These actions can further limit the bargaining power of suppliers and result in reduced competition in the market.
Examples
Examples of duopsony include the market for agricultural products, where a small number of large buyers purchase crops from numerous small-scale farmers, and the market for labor, where a small number of employers purchase labor from a large pool of workers.
In the agricultural market, large retailers such as Walmart and Kroger are often the only buyers of certain crops, such as tomatoes, which allows them to dictate the terms of trade with suppliers. In the labor market, large employers such as Amazon and Walmart have significant market power over workers, which can result in lower wages and reduced benefits for employees.
Implications
Duopsony can have significant implications for market outcomes, including reduced competition, lower supplier prices, and reduced supply of goods or services. As buyers have greater market power, they can negotiate lower prices with suppliers, resulting in reduced profits for suppliers and reduced investment in production.
Moreover, duopsony can also result in reduced innovation and product quality, as suppliers may need more incentives to invest in research and development or improve product quality if they cannot negotiate higher prices from buyers.

76389289 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johanna%20Ludwig | Johanna Ludwig | Johanna Ludwig (born Seiler on January 26, 1937, in Großkundorf, district of Greiz; died in August 2013 in Leipzig) was an East German journalist, editor and author. She was the initiator, long-standing chairwoman and honorary chairwoman of the Louise-Otto-Peters-Gesellschaft e.V. Leipzig. Through her more than 20 years of research into the life and work of the writer and women's politician Louise Otto-Peters, she contributed to the reappraisal of the legacy of the German women's movement in Leipzig.
Life and work
Johanna Ludwig grew up as the daughter of Herta Seiler, née Höhlein (1912–2004) and Karl Seiler (1902–1968), who were farmers in Thuringia Vogtland, grew up. After graduating from high school, she studied journalism in combination with literature, theater and music history as well as sociology at the University of Leipzig from 1955 to 1959. In 1959, she married the journalist Wolfgang Ludwig and had two sons with him.
Ludwig worked as an editor of company newspapers, the district newspaper Leipziger Rundschau and as an editor and reporter at the Leipzig station of Radio DDR. Johanna Ludwig was an editor for literature on the social position of women in the past and present, and later head of the editorial department and deputy chief editor at the Leipzig Verlag für die Frau publishing house, where she worked for more than 20 years. Through her interest in women's history and women's emancipation, she often came across Louise Otto-Peters, who had fallen into oblivion in Leipzig.
After German reunification, the Leipzig publishing landscape was restructured in 1991, resulting in Ludwig's dismissal. Due to the difficult labor market situation, she was unable to find permanent employment.
Louise-Otto-Peters-Gesellschaft e.V.
Johnna Ludwig spent more than 20 years researching the life and work of the writer and women's politician Louise Otto-Peters and made a significant contribution to the reappropriation of the legacy of the German women's movement in Leipzig, which for various reasons received little attention here in the 20th century and was partially forgotten. Through her many public initiatives, she succeeded in showing that the city of Leipzig was a center of the German women's movement. She dedicated historical walks to the protagonists of the women's movement and campaigned for streets to be named after Louise Otto-Peters and her fellow campaigners. Today, the names of Louise Otto-Peters, Auguste Schmidt, Henriette Goldschmidt and others are closely associated with this city.
Since 1993, the non-profit Louise-Otto-Peters-Gesellschaft e. V. has been dedicated to making the life and work of Louise Otto-Peters better known and honoring it. Ludwig's extensive passion for collecting, cataloging and making accessible all writings by and about Louise Otto-Peters led to the founding of the Louise Otto-Peters Archive in 1997. Since then, all publications by and about Louise Otto-Peters have been collected, indexed and made accessible to interested parties. Johanna Ludwig wrote more than 100 of her own publications on the life and work of Louise Otto-Peters, including 33 titles in the LOUISEum series.
After Johanna Ludwig found and completed the previously censored novel Schloß und Fabrik, the first uncensored, complete edition of Louise Otto-Peters' socially critical novel about the Vormärz was published in 1996. This book was only allowed to appear censored in 1846 and the original version was considered lost until 1996.
In 2000, Ludwig campaigned against the demolition of the Henriette-Goldschmidt-Haus at what is now Friedrich-Ebert-Straße 16. The Jewish publisher Henri Hinrichsen was an admirer of Henriette Goldschmidt and founded the Henri Hinrichsen Foundation to endow this house for women's education. He was murdered in 1942 in Exchwitz extermination camp and his name was removed from the foundation's title beforehand. Together with Inge Brüx, Ines Hantschick and other East German women, Ludwig founded an association to preserve the house. The Henriette-Goldschmidt-Haus was demolished in 2000 despite many protests due to a planned but never realized road extension.
The biography Eigner Wille und eigne Kraft. The life of Louise Otto-Peters up to the founding of the AdF in 1865. Based on personal testimonies and documents was published posthumously in October 2013.

The party belonged to the center supporting liberalism as it had been shaped in Greece by Eleftherios Venizelos (Venizelism).
In the run-up to the March 1950 elections, it formed a coalition with Emmanouil Tsouderos', Democratic Progressive Party, also a centrist liberal party, under the name National Progressive Center Union (EPEK).
With the transformation of the electoral alliance into a permanent political formation in July 1950, the "Proggresive Liberal" merge into it.
History
With the end of the civil war, General Plastiras decided to enter the political arena. He sought an agreement in principle with Sofoklis Venizelos, leader of the Liberal party at the time, to take over the leadership of the party. Sophoclis Venizelos, however, refused and on December 3, 1949, applied to the Parliament for the creation of a new party called the "Progressive Liberal".
The new party chose to bear the same title as the party of Georgios Kafantaris of 1924 , since on the one hand this way (addition of an epithet) named the splits of the Liberal party and on the other hand it appeared as a direct successor of Georgios Kafantaris.
The objectives of the party were:
the reconstruction of the country (better use of American aid);
placation with equal rights for all citizens regardless of their political views;
tackle corruption
and the restoration of friendly relations with neighbouring (socialist) countries.
The party served for Plastiras to enter the political scene in order to form a broader alliance around him. Indeed, immediately after its foundation, contacts with the other parties of the centre began. As a result of the talks, on 13 January 1950, announced the electoral alliance between "Progressive Liberal Party" and "Democratic Progressive Party" under the name of "National Progressive Center Union" and the leadership of Plastiras.

The conglomerate is said to have close ties to the Abu Dhabi ruling dynasty. The chairman of the company is Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan, who also serves as the country's National Security Advisor and manages two sovereign wealth funds.
The company is listed on the Abu Dhabi stock exchange and had a market capitalization of 240 billion US dollar in 2024. After the Royal Group transferred 40 companies worth US$4.7 billion to IHC, the company's share price grew by 42,000% between 2019 and 2024, making it the second most valuable company in the Gulf States behind Saudi Aramco. This transformation coincides with Tahnoon bin Zayed al-Nahyan's time as Chairman of the Group. The majority of shares (around 60%) in the company are controlled by the Royal Group.
History

In the years that followed, IHC embarked on a strategic journey of acquisitions and diversification that led to expansion into various sectors, including real estate, with the acquisition of ESPL properties in 2008. By 2013, IHC had grown significantly through these strategic acquisitions.
In 2020, three of its subsidiaries were listed on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. The following year, IHC's growth continued as the company listed more subsidiaries, including Alpha Dhabi, ESG and Al Seer Marine, and became the most valuable company on the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange.
IHC continued its expansion in 2022, concluding a US$2 billion investment agreement with the Indian Adani Group and acquiring a significant stake in the renewable energy sector with the purchase of shares of Turkish Kalyon Enerji. In September 2023 the IHC sold stakes in the Adani Group, but increased its stake in Adani Enterprises.

76389382 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian%20Party | Brazilian Party | Brazilian Party (Portuguese: Partido Brasileiro) refers to a political organization formed in Brazil during the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves after the Liberal Revolution of 1820.
Despite not being a formal political party, it united the urban upper bourgeoisie, merchants and slave owners who defended the benefits gained since the arrival of King John VI in Brazil in 1808. It advocated classical liberal agendas, economic conquests and ignored orders from the Portuguese Court. In 1822, it managed to convince Prince Regent Pedro I to remain in Brazil when the Court demanded his return to Portugal; he was the leader of the political group. The party had a huge network. The Angolan branch was responsible for declaring the Brazilian Confederation.
History
At the beginning of the 19th century, the Peninsular War and the Liberal Revolution of Porto occurred in Portugal, which demanded the return of Dom John VI to the country and called elections for the constituent assembly that would draw up the first Portuguese constitution. Upon the news that Brazil was going to be recolonized reaching Portugal, the forces present in Brazil split into three parties: the Brazilian Party and the Portuguese Party, both formed by the elite, and the Liberal-Radical Party, formed by the middle classes of Rio de Janeiro.
Brazilian deputies, most of them linked to the Brazilian Party, were elected by the provinces to participate in the Kingdom's legislature, including Cipriano Barata and Muniz Tavares, who had participated in the Pernambuco Revolution of 1817, Antônio Carlos Ribeiro de Andrada, Father Diogo Antônio Feijó and Nicolau Campos Vergueiro. They arrived in Portugal between August and September 1821, when the constituent work had already begun, and were unable to contribute much towards parity between Brazil and Portugal. The 49 deputies who traveled were outnumbered by the Portuguese representatives, who would not allow them to speak. At the beginning of the regency period, the political forces reorganized and two new parties emerged: the Moderate Party and the Exalted Party.

76389414 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shia%20Muslim%20Foundation | Shia Muslim Foundation | The Shia Muslim Foundation is a registered non-profit organization founded in 2020. The foundation is dedicated to supporting the civic rights of American Shia Muslims and advocating on social and political issues.
Overview
The SMF works globally to promote the rights and welfare of Shia Muslims. Through various initiatives and programs, it addresses challenges faced by the Shia Muslim community, fostering understanding and appreciation of the Shia faith. Its primary focus is the raising awareness of crises, conflicts and persecution of Shia Muslims in countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iraq, advocating for Shia Muslim rights and providing aid to those affected, including refugees and bereaved families. In the United States, the foundation promotes understanding and acceptance of the Shia faith, educating the public about Shia beliefs and practices. It also endeavors to build cooperation between Shia and Sunni communities. Through its initiatives, the Shia Muslim Foundation seeks to contribute to the betterment of Shia Muslims worldwide and advocates for a just and peaceful society for all.
History
The SMF was founded some time in 2020.
In May 2021, Joe Biden, president of the United States, reinstated the White House's tradition of celebrating Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr. This event, held on May 1, was historically meaningful for Muslim Americans, symbolizing recognition and inclusion. The Shia Muslim Foundation was among the organizations that attended the celebration, reflecting the rich diversity of the Muslim American community.
On March 5, 2022, the SMF provided over $2,500 worth of food and groceries to about 30 Afghan refugee families in Landover, Maryland. The dire situation of the refugees was highlighted by the story of a young girl who approached the volunteers for food, indicating her family's desperate need. Throughout the day, similar stories emerged, showcasing the refugees' severe hardships, yet they remained hopeful and supportive of one another. The SMF planned to continue their support with another donation drive before Ramadan in April 2022, calling for community contributions to aid these efforts.
In August 2022, following the killings of Muslim men in Albuquerque by a serial killer, the SMF participated in a joint press conference with the Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR) and other Sunni and Shia organizations. The conference was a response to the arrest of a Sunni man accused of committing the murders out of anti-Shia sentiment. Rahat Husain of SMF highlighted the unity between Shia and Sunni Muslims in the US, emphasizing the importance of love and friendship amidst the crisis. He called for addressing any form of anti-Shia hatred while maintaining the solidarity that exists within the Muslim community in America. The incident spurred efforts from both Sunni and Shia communities in the US to foster better understanding and prevent such divisions and hatred from taking root. The SMF's involvement in the press conference underscores its commitment to combating Islamophobia and sectarian hatred, and to promoting unity among Muslims in the US.
In September 2022, concerns about the immigration challenges facing visiting Imams were raised by the Shia Muslim Foundation. The SMF highlighted the increasing difficulties these religious leaders encountered when entering the U.S., which impacted the Shia community's ability to practice their religion freely. The Foundation has called for immediate action to address these issues and requested a meeting with officials to discuss resolutions.
On April 20, 2023, the SMF announced the donation of numerous laptops to Shia Muslim community members in Washington, D.C., focusing on those impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. This initiative aimed to address the digital divide and support education, employment, and connectivity for individuals lacking these critical resources. The recipients, particularly those experiencing financial difficulties, job loss, or educational barriers, welcomed the laptops with gratitude, acknowledging the potential positive changes in their lives. A spokesperson for the SMF reaffirmed the organization's dedication to assisting community members, especially in challenging times, with hopes that the technology will aid in long-term success and communication.
In May 2023, the Shia Muslim Foundation was represented at a White House listening session on Islamophobia. The session, hosted by Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff and other senior administration officials, was part of the Biden-Harris administration's efforts to counter Islamophobia and related forms of bias and discrimination within the United States. The foundation's president participated among other Muslim community leaders to discuss challenges and share recommendations for confronting hate and bigotry.
On a Wednesday in April 2023, the White House conducted a listening session on Islamophobia. High-level officials from the Biden administration, including Second Gentleman Douglas Emhoff and other senior figures, met with American Muslim community leaders to address the issue of Islamophobia. The SMF was among the participating organizations. The session aimed to gather insights on the challenges faced by Muslim communities and explore recommendations to combat Islamophobia and bigotry. The Biden-Harris administration expressed appreciation for the leadership shown by the participants and reaffirmed the President's commitment to countering Islamophobia. An incident involving the Muslim mayor of Prospect Park, New Jersey, Mohamed Khairullah, who was prevented from attending the White House celebration, highlighted ongoing concerns about Islamophobia within federal agencies.
The SMF has actively addressed concerns regarding the persecution of Shias in Pakistan, particularly in light of recent amendments to the blasphemy laws. In October 2023, the SMF's Executive Director penned a letter to Pakistan's ambassador to the United States, expressing the distress of the Pakistani Shia community in the US over the "Tauheen E Sahaba" bill. The letter articulated the Shia community's respect for the Sahaba while expressing apprehension about the bill's potential for misuse. It drew parallels between the proposed law and the existing blasphemy laws, which have been used to target minority religious places and individuals.

76389510 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile%20Seamen%27s%20Club%20Building | Mobile Seamen's Club Building | The Mobile Seamen's Club Building is a historic building in Mobile, Alabama. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
History
The Seamen's Club was built in 1949 to serve as short-term housing for workers in the maritime and shipping industries. Its construction was supported by both the Seafarers International Union and the Waterman Steamship Corporation. The building is close to both the docks and to the downtown core, providing ease of access to both and a link between transient seamen and the city at large. In segregation-era Alabama, the club was only open to white seamen. A separate location for Black seamen was opened a few blocks away, near the International Longshoreman's Association Hall.
The building was sold to the Seafarers Union in 1970, who used it for their meeting hall and offices. The city of Mobile purchased the building in 1980, and utilized it for offices; the building became known as "City Hall North". The city vacated the building in 2003, and it sat on the market until 2017. In 2020, it was redeveloped into apartments.
Architecture
The four-story structure was built in International Style with Art Deco elements. It is juxtaposed in style to its immediate neighborhood, the De Tonti Square Historic District, one of Mobile's oldest neighborhoods. The first floor is recessed and clad in concrete, which gave visual weight to the yellow brick upper floors; the building was painted white during the 2020 renovation. A concrete tower separates the façade into two wings. The ground floor contained a chapel, library, recreation room, and lunch counter, while the basement had a barber shop, a storage room with lockers for rent, as well as the building's mechanical equipment. The three upper floors served a lodging for seamen, with the second floor reserved for those traveling with their families.
The building was designed by Mobile architect John Platt Roberts, who also designed the Spanish Colonial Revival Paterson House (1926) and Azalea Court Apartments (1928), the Tudor Revival Ross Knox House (1929), and the International style Waterman–Smith Building (1945).

76389546 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoare%20Govett | Hoare Govett | Hoare Govett was a major British corporate brokerage firm based in London, England. The business was created by a merger between two well established stockbroker firms, Hoare & Co and Govett, Sons & Co. From 1984, the business had been a subsidiary, firstly owned by Security Pacific, until its own near collapse and purchase by Bank of America in 1992, when ABN Amro duly purchased the business. ABN Amro itself was purchased by Royal Bank of Scotland in 2007, before the business was sold on to the Jefferies Group, becoming their corporate broking arm in 2012.
Pre-merger history
Govett, Sons & Co
Govett, Sons & Co was started in 1869 by Adolphus Frederick Govett of Laleham, who was also a director of the London and South Western Railway. His son, Francis Algernon Govett joined the business as a partner in 1879, while Sir William Rose, 2nd Baronet was a business partner in the firm. Under Francis, Govett, Sons & Co were big players in brokering for the development of the Australian gold fields. Francis's sons, Frederick Leonard and John Romaine, became partners in the business, and Francis led the firm until his death in 1926. In 1929, Govett, Sons & Co were one of the three brokers that raised $11,000,000 as part of the issue for the Great Britain and Canada Investment Corporation
Hoare & Co
Hoare & Co started life in the 19th century as Cohen Laming & Co, a brokerage business. In 1910, Christopher "Kit" Gurney Hoare joined the business, becoming a partner by the end of the year, with the firm then becoming known as Cohen, Laming, Hoare. Kit Hoare was described in Martin Vander Weyer's article in The Spectator as "A splendid pirate (who) would have boarded any ship’". Kit and the firm were caught up in the Charles Hatry affair, with Kit being one of the first brokers to be interviewed. Until 1939, Nigel Birch, Baron Rhyl was a partner in the firm. Under Kit's control as senior partner from the 1930 through to the 1960s, the business was renamed Hoare & Co in 1940; he was behind many of the lucrative deals of his day, gaining the business of ICI, Vickers, Distillers, and P&O Kit reportedly never carried any paper on him, and used to underwrite issues based on the company's name alone. The firm were behind large share issues for Canadian Eagle Oil, Rootes Group, Anglo-Iranian, Dunlop, P&O, Esso and were part of the denationalisation of the British steel industry. Hoares were the main broker behind the 1957 BP debenture issue, where Kit had been able to exclude rival brokers Cazenove to the disgust of their boss Anthony Hornsby, who then blocked Hoare & Co from the £40 million Shell rights issue. Kit was the broker involved with the 1961 merger of the two London merchant banks Kleinwort and Benson to form Kleinwort Benson Lonsdale. Hoare & Co were also a broker for the UK government and issued gilts on their behalf. During 1964, the firm set up a new research department called the Investment Research Section, later called Datastream, looking into using computers to provide their staff with data on companies. Hoare & Co temporarily declined as a broker during the late 60s due to Kit's age, with the company only brokering 42 issues during 1965, the far smallest of the corporate brokers in London, with Cazenove issuing 176 in the same year. In the same year, Peter Meinertzhagen joined Hoare's as a mail clerk, and would become an influential figure in its future.
Hoare Govett History
Early years
In 1969, the brokerage firms of Hoare & Co and Govett, Sons & Co merged to firm Hoare & Co. Govett. The newly merged business was soon recognised as amongst the elite of corporate bankers. The company started to offer its Datastream service to other brokers and investment banks, including Touche Remnant. In 1973, Peter Meinertzhagen, the former mail boy, had worked his way up and became a partner in the business. The firm survived the Secondary banking crisis of 1973–1975 mainly because of its presence in the gilt-edged market, even though it had been involved with the failed investment bank Cornhill Consolidated. According to EDP Analyzer in 1974, the firm were the largest stockbroker in the United Kingdom, however by 1976 it had dropped down to third. In 1976, the business was put into liquidation by its partners, with two new firms being created, Hoare Govett and Datastream Ltd, who would both be owned by the same shareholders. Datastream was then sold off to the British Oxygen Company, so Hoare Govett could concentrate on stock brokering.
The 1980s and Security Pacific
In the 1981 privatisation sale by the UK government of British Aerospace, Hoare Govett was the lead broker, also acting as the lead broker in the second tranche of sales in 1985. Hoare Govett also assisted the government's flotation of British Telecom in 1983 as one of several brokers involved.
In 1982, with Hoare Govett run by Mike Soden, Security Pacific bought a 29.9% stake in the business for £8.1 million, with the funds received being split between new investments and bonus for the company's partners. At the time, Hoare Govett was one of the leading foreign stockbrokers in Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. Security Pacific purchased a larger share in the business for $14 million in 1984.
In 1986, the British government changed rules on stocks and shares trading, as the London Stock Exchange was breaking the 1976 Restrictive Practices Act. Called the Big Bang, Hoare Govett, along with fellow brokers Cazenove and Rowe & Pitman, set up for 24 hour trading. This was dropped after the Big Bang did not produce the rush that was expected. Hoare Govett purchased and then sold on 14 million Guinness held shares in BP in the same year, and was chosen by the UK government to help prepare for the sale of the ten water companies as part of privatisation of the market.
During 1987, Hoare Govett were the lead brokers for final tranche of government BP share issue, but were affected by the collapse of the stock market in October 1987, a few days before the issue closed, with $12.2 million of shares unsold. The firm was also involved with the share issue for the privatisation of BAA. In November 1987, Security Pacific announced they were purchasing the remaining 15% in the firm to secure their commitment to the business and its debts and equities. In 1987, the Hoare Govett Smaller Companies Index was created by Hoare Govett from research by Professors Elroy Dimson and Paul Marsh at the London Business School, and would become the authoritative benchmark for measuring small-cap performance.
Hoare Govett's Asian business and Barclays Bank set up a joint venture investment management company in Hong Kong in 1988. During 1989, the business withdrew from the British and International bond markets, and was leaving the Japanese Market for shares and warrants. In the UK, the firm were the lead broker on
Shanks & McKewan, a Glasgow based waste disposal company share issue which capitalised the company at £136 million. In 1990, chairman Richard Westmacott suddenly quit the job, and Peter Meinertzhagen was asked to become chairman. In 1991, the firm were the lead broker of the demerger of Vodafone from its parent company Racal Electronics.
Security Pacific had been trying to offload the firm from 1989, as part of its retraction back to commercial banking. At first a management buyout tried to purchase the business, but was blocked by Bank of America as part of the merger talks, and it was announced in February 1992 that ABN Amro were purchasing the European side of the business. The Asian arm of the business, Hoare Govett Asia, was purchased by the management team with assistance from the Guoco group.
Under ABN Amro
In 1992 ABN Amro purchased the firm from Security Pacific for an undisclosed price, though widely reportedly as £25 million; shortly after, however, they lost several clients including RTZ Corporation and Henlys Group. The firm was the lead broker for the UK government's privatisation of Northern Ireland Electricity, and the public listing of the former commercial arm of the Milk Marketing Board, which was named Dairy Crest. The firm, now renamed ABN Amro Hoare Govett, recovered from those early loses, gaining Glaxo in 1995 from SC Wartburg, and started the purchase back of its former Asian business, now called HG Asia, firstly acquiring
a 20% share in 1994, followed by a further 40% in 1996. During 1996, it assisted the UK government with share sales in both British Energy and Railtrack, while in 1997 it gained both the clients Sainsbury's and Centrica.
In 2004, due to ill health, Peter Meinertzhagen stepped down and was replaced by Nigel Mills, whom Meinertzhagen had chosen to replace himself. However, in 2005, as part of their push into the brokerage market, Citigroup poached Mills and many of the other top executives at Hoare Govett. Meinertzhagen was asked to come back to steady the ship, but during 2005-06 they lost several big clients, including Cadbury Schweppes, Sainsbury's, Centrica, WHSmith, though they did fight back, gaining Fidessa and Hanson. In 2006, Meinertzhagen chose Paul Nicholls of Crédit Suisse to come in as the new chief executive, and he eventually retired from the business in 2007. ITV announced it was dropping Hoare Govett as one of its corporate brokers in February 2007; Hoare Govett pointed out that they still had clients such as Imperial Tobacco, BAE Systems and Arriva, and had gained new business in the shape of FKI and Spectris.
Royal Bank of Scotland tenure
In October 2007, Royal Bank of Scotland, along with bid partners Fortis Group and Banco Santander purchased ABN Amro for £48.5 million. The business was split up amongst the bid partners with Hoare Govett becoming RBS Hoare Govett. The firm struggled because of the 2007–2008 financial crisis, dropping from 2nd in the corporate brokerage tables to 8th, but started a turnaround in 2010 gaining its first new FTSE 100 customer, Cable & Wireless Worldwide, followed not long after by G4S making the firm joint broker with Deutsche Bank. In 2011, it was reported that RBS were either planning to sell or close down Hoare Govett, with various companies linked with purchasing the business including Oriel Securities, ICAP and RBC Royal. In February it was announced that Jefferies Group had agreed to purchase Hoare Govett's European business. In March 2012, it was announced that the RBS Asian business, the former Hoare Govett Asia firm, had been sold to CIMB Group Holdings, except for its Hong Kong office which was closed. The Hoare Govett Small Cap Index was sold separately in 2012 to Numis.
Jefferies group purchase
Jefferies Group bought Hoare Govett for £1, with the business changed to Jefferies Hoare Govett, with the firm brokering for Rolls-Royce Holdings, BAE Systems, Rexam, Morrisons and Tate & Lyle amongst others. The company initially lost clients in 2012 including Tullow Oil and Mouchel, but soon gained new customers during 2012-13 including Sirius Minerals, United Drug, Cairn Energy and Thomas Cook Group. In 2016, Oxford Biomedica announced Jefferies Hoare Govett as their corporate broker. In 2021, the firm were the broker for Rolls-Royce's sale of its Nuclear Instrumentation and Control business to Framatome. As of 2024, Jefferies Hoare Govett have clients including Hays plc, Boohoo Group and Watkin Jones plc.

It was built in the Baroque style. The foundations and cellars have been preserved, requiring detailed archaeological research. The monastery complex occupied a plot in the High Market area covering over 1 hectare (part of the block where the Palace of the Republic stands today). The buildings belonging to the Minsk Dominicans included a brick church and monastery, as well as wooden outbuildings: two wings, a stable, a granary (świran), a well, and others. In the southwest part of the plot, there was a garden. The monastery complex was surrounded by a high wall with a large entrance gate.
Location
The church and monastery of the Dominican fathers in Minsk were located at the High Market. The plot on which the buildings were located covered approximately 1.44 hectares (2 morgens and 58 rods). It was bordered by Wołoska, Dominikańska, and Garska streets. The cellars of the church and monastery have been preserved at the corner of today's Internacjonalna and Engels' streets.
History
The Dominican monastery and the Church of St. Thomas Aquinas in Minsk were founded in 1600 by Sophia of Wołkiewicze (alias Zawiszów) Słuszkowa (alias Służkowa), a voivode of Cēsis, and a widow of Krzysztof Służka, the voivode of Polish Livonia. The Dominicans came to Minsk at her invitation from Vilnius. In 1604, returning from the war, the szlachta imposed a "hoof" tax (from horses) to complete the construction of the temple and the monastery. Her coats of arms were to remind of this, placed on the cornices. In 1605, the Dominicans announced at the chapter that they accepted the foundation.
The original buildings were wooden. In 1615, Peter Tyszkiewicz, Count of Lahoysk and Berdychiv, the judicial starosta and voivode of Minsk, donated to the Dominican fathers a plot of land for perpetual ownership, where the construction of the stone church and monastery began. The funds for the construction also came from donations from the Minsk nobility, as evidenced by fund bonds and documents preserved in the archive. The initial founders included Marcelina of the Korecki princes Chlebowiczowa alias Hlebowiczowa (after her second husband Bukowska), the voivode of Vitebsk, Jakub alias Jakób Pacewicz, the parish priest of Orsha, Jerzy Zawisza, and Jan Wołek. The construction of the stone church and monastery lasted until 1640.
The monastery complex was located near the southern line of the city's fortifications – an earthen rampart with a moat and bastions. In the second half of the 17th century, it served as one of the defensive outposts of the city. Travelers passing through Minsk emphasized the splendor and wealth of the Dominican church, and the pantler of Tsar Peter the Great, Pyotr Tolstoy, while in Minsk in 1697, admired the organs in the Church of St. Thomas Aquinas.
The completion of construction work at the monastery occurred in 1703. Six years later, partial reconstruction of the church began. The facade was restored. At the end of the 18th century, the last renovation of the church took place, as evidenced by the contract discovered by Euzebiusz Łopaciński in the 1930s, drawn up in 1781 between the superior of the Minsk Dominicans, Benedykt Rybczyński, and the master of the masons' guild, Andrzej Makarewicz. As a result of the work carried out at that time, the church received an unusual "ensemble" composition – two side plans, stretched in space.
On July 29 (August 11), 1798, the apostolic nuncio, Lorenzo Litta, designated the Dominican monastery as the residence of the bishop of the newly created diocese of Minsk by his decree In omnes agri Dominici partes.As a temporary residence for bishops until another specific house for bishops is acquired, we designate the monastery of the Dominican order located in the same city, which is situated a short distance from the aforementioned cathedral church.As a result of repression after the November Uprising in 1833, the Dominican monastery was abolished. The church, however, was designated as the parish church of Minsk, administered by the secular clergy. In 1845, by order of the Russian authorities, the monastery was adapted for use as a Catholic seminary.
In 1870, due to Tsarist repression after the failure of the January Uprising, the sub-Dominican monastery was converted into barracks, and the church into an Eastern Orthodox church. In the 1870s, a project was developed to adapt the former Dominican church for use as a city theater, but it was not implemented. Sources do not indicate in which years of the 19th century the upper parts of the chapels protruding above the roofline were dismantled. In the 20th century, the church was used as a fire station. On 5 July 1926, the sub-Dominican complex was placed under state protection.
During the occupation of Minsk by Soviet troops in 1944, the monastery complex was damaged. In 1945, the Byelorussian SSR received reparations from Germany for the renovation of buildings, and preliminary conservation work was carried out in the church in the late 1940s. Despite these efforts, the architectural monument was blown up in 1950 on the orders of the Soviet authorities.
Endowment of the Dominican monastery and church
In 1830, a canonical visitation by Metropolitan bishop Kacper Kazimierz Cieciszowski of Mogilev took place. Based on the inspection documentation, Ignacy Borejko Chodźko described the monastery's estate in 1845.
In the city, the Dominicans owned a plot of land on High Market, donated to them by Piotr Tyszkiewicz. On this plot, a brick church and monastery were erected. On 8 December 1640, Piotr Wołk bequeathed to the monks in his will his estate, Wołkowszczyzna (also known as Rumnickie), located 5 versts (approximately 5.4 km) from Minsk. In 1830, within the boundaries of Wołkowszczyzna, there were three taverns, eight continuous peasant settlements, and one rent-paying one. The estate's area was 3 voloks, 25 morgens, 208 rods (approximately 62.75 hectares), with a recorded number of 30 men in the inspection data.
The Dominican capital sums came from the bequests of Ignacy Piotrowin Janiszewski, the deputy governor of Minsk – 600 silver rubles, and the Wołodkowicz family – 1500 silver rubles. According to the visitation data from 1830, the Minsk Dominicans had two capitals. The certain and interest-bearing one, originating from various legations, amounted to 5110 silver rubles. The uncertain one, in the amount of 8192 silver rubles and 50.5 kopecks, was credited to the Minsk qahal. Despite the establishment of a court case, it has not been recovered.
Architecture
The architectural ensemble of the Dominican monastery featured a distinct spatial composition, with the entrance gate as the foreground, directly followed by the church facade, while the monastery walls served as a prominent backdrop.
Church
The dominant feature of the monastery complex was the Church of St. Thomas Aquinas, situated in its corner section. The church was a classical three-aisled basilica without a transept, with a rectangular chancel. It combined characteristics of late Renaissance and early Baroque styles. Symmetrically arranged chapels flanked the facade, each with octagonal tholobates crowned by domes with roof lanterns. The central part of the facade featured an unconventional architectural solution, typical of Eastern Baroque: the axial symmetry was defined not by openings, but by the space between them. The tall body of the church on the facade was topped by a multi-storey, ornamented gable adorned with statues, strongly decorated with bands of cornices, bossaged pilasters, sculpted surrounds of arched window openings, and side volutes, etc. This was how Ignacy Borejko Chodźko described it in 1845.This temple, the largest in the city, measured 63 ells in length, 48 in width, and 30 in height. It is a beautiful and impressive piece of architecture, maintained in the French style, with a lofty pediment topped with a turret, with a vault, set on cellars. This building rises on pilasters crowned with arcades; these separate the nave from the chapels, which end in domes, slightly raised above the roofline.The interior of the temple was adorned with frescoes and Baroque stucco altars with rocaille – one main and 12 side ones by 6 inter-nave posts.
The following altars were located in the church (progressing from the Zawiszów chapel into the depth of the temple):
St. John of Nepomuk altar (according to a description from around 1830, the altar did not yet have a painting and was unfinished),
A wooden, adorned with gilded sculptures, the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary altar did not have a painting,
On the left side from the entrance, a brick altar of St. Dominic,
By the pillar in front of the sanctuary, a brick altar with columns and statues, in the middle with a sculpture of the Crucified Christ,
A wooden St. Mary Magdalene altar, adorned with carvings and gilding,
Similar in design to the St. Mary Magdalene altar, St. Jack altar,
A brick altar of St. Catherine of Siena, adorned with plasterwork,
Opposite the pulpit, St. Vincent Ferrer altar with gilded decorations,
A brick altar of St. Barbara with columns; the painting of the saint was covered by a carved wooden dress,
A brick altar of St. Jude Thaddeus with columns; the saint's image was adorned with a silver robe,
Altar of Mother of God with the image of the patroness in richly adorned garments,
In the depth of the central nave, the main altar, with its mensa separating the monastic choir from the temple; the altar was painted in a trompe-l'œil style on the wall, imitating the architecture of the Corinthian order, in the middle was placed the image of the church's patron, St. Thomas Aquinas, depicted at the moment of writing with a golden pen.
The monks' choir was separated from the temple by a masonry mensa of the altar with a gilded ciborium of carved workmanship. The music choir was located above the entrance. Ornate organs were built for 24 voices.
Adjacent to the chancel from the northeast side was a rectangular sacristy, which was aligned with one of the side naves. On the opposite wall of the chancel, there was a longitudinal three-story monastery building.
At some distance in front of the facade stood a large-sized entrance gate. On its sides were two bell towers with original crowns in the shape of four mighty volutes arranged diagonally, topped with Baroque ridge turrets. The towers were connected by an entrance portico in the form of a triumphal arch.
Monastery
The monastery building had a rectangular plan, an elongated two-story structure with a corridor running inside. It had a thatched roof. It joined the chancel and the end of the church's side nave at a right angle, merging with them into one monumental and compact mass. In the central part of the facade was an avant-corps, through which the entrance to the building led.
The Dominican monastery possessed a library. During the metropolitan visitation in 1830, its relocation was underway, so it was not precisely described. Documentation noted that it contained 70 Latin volumes on theological subjects and 83 Polish volumes covering various topics.
Personnel structures
Clergy
According to data from the metropolitan visitation in 1830, the monastery housed six priests, eight clerics, three novices, and eight laymen.
The monks of the monastery were obliged to celebrate liturgies for the intentions of the living and deceased founders of the monastery and the church. The obligatory masses were divided into:
Weekly
On Sunday, one sung Mass was celebrated for Leon and Paweł Wołodkowicz, as well as one sung Mass for the living and deceased members of the Janiszewski family, and a read Mass before the altar of St. Catherine;
On Tuesday, a read Mass was held for the soul of Marcybella of Korecki Hlebowiczowa;
On Wednesday, a read Mass was held for the souls of Dominik and Teresa Wołodkiewicz;
On Thursday, a read Mass was held before the altar of St. Magdalene for the soul of Marcybella;
On Friday, a read Mass was held before the altar of Our Lord Jesus for the soul of Piotr Wołek;
On Saturday, a sung Mass was held for the soul of Marcybella.
Monthly
One sung Mass was celebrated for the souls of Mikołaj Rodkiewicz, Aleksander Wojdźman, Kazimierz Nowacki, Jan Furs, Franciszek and Joanna Dornałowicz, Jerzy and Jan Derszkof, Zuzanna, Aleksander, Teodor, and Anna. Additionally, one sung Mass was held for the soul of Father Stefan Koczarski and before the altar of St. John the Baptist for the souls of Jan and Joanna Kostrowicki.
Quarterly
One sung Mass was celebrated for the souls of Father Stefan Koczarski, Mikołaj Rodkiewicz, the parents of the monks, those resting in the monastery cemeteries, the souls of relatives, friends, and benefactors, as well as the brothers and sisters of the third order.
Monastic
Throughout the year, 48 liturgies with a full office for the deceased were celebrated for the deceased brothers and sisters of the Rosary, their relatives, and benefactors of the confraternity, operating in the Dominican church.
Confraternity
At the Church of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Holy Rosary Confraternity served. It sustained itself through contributions and collections, having no capital. Among the daily voluntary duties of the confraternity were singing the Rosary in the church, providing some altars with candles and lamps, and decorating two confraternity altars. Church silver, liturgical vestments, altar furnishings, decorations, and heraldic flags were purchased with money from alms.

76389639 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennaya%20Glacier | Tennaya Glacier | Tennaya Glacier is one of several glaciers draining the eastern side of the Mount Edziza ice cap in northwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is located southeast of the summit of Mount Edziza and northwest of Ice Peak at the head of Tennaya Creek. Meltwater from Tennaya Glacier feeds Tennaya Creek which eventually flows into Nuttlude Lake, an expansion of Kakiddi Creek.
The name of the glacier was suggested by the Geological Survey of Canada on November 15, 1979, and eventually became official on November 24, 1980. Tennaya is derived from the Tahltan words ten and naya, which mean ice and be come down respectively. The name of this glacier is a reference to a spectacular icefall at the head of Tennaya valley.
Geology
At the head of Tennaya Glacier are rocks assigned to the upper assemblage of the Ice Peak Formation. They consist of trachyte, benmoreite, mugearite, tristanite, trachybasalt and alkali basalt that are in the form of lava flows, lava domes and pyroclastic breccia. Also at the head of Tennaya Glacier is trachyte and comenditic trachyte of the Edziza Formation which are in the form of pyroclastic breccia and lahar and ash flow deposits, as well as lava flows and endogenous lava domes.
Just below the trim line of Tennaya Glacier is a rounded hill completely covered with surficial deposits that may be the source of an alkali basalt flow of the Big Raven Formation. This lava flow travelled down Tennaya valley to near Kakiddi Lake via a narrow, wedge-shaped notch that formed as a result of erosion along the northern edge of an older and thicker Kakiddi Formation trachyte flow.

Born in Japan, Yamamoto would move with her family to London in 1991, before eventually returning to live in Tokyo in 1994 at the age of 8. She described the experience as akin to being an outside, where she'd be considered "very Japanese everywhere in the world" but "wasn’t quite Japanese enough" in Japan itself.
Yamamoto would study international relations at the International Christian University in Tokyo, where she would obtain her Bachelor of Arts, before moving to New York City to study method acting at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. During this time she was also part of The Bats acting company at The Flea Theater. She returned to Tokyo following this, and began working in journalism, writing articles for The Daily Beast alongside American journalist Jake Adelstein. Adelstein's book Tokyo Vice was being adapted into a television series for HBO Max, which would see Yamamoto recruited to work on the show's writing staff. She would become a producer on the series in its second season.
In 2022, Yamamoto starred in a recurring role in the Apple TV+ series Pachinko as Hana. That same year she would join the cast of Apple's Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. In March 2024, she was cast to star opposite Brendan Fraser in the film Rental Family.

76389796 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipment%20%28Call%20of%20Duty%29 | Shipment (Call of Duty) | "Shipment" is a multiplayer map in the Call of Duty series of first-person shooter video games published by Activision. Originally set in a shipping yard outside of Chernobyl, the map is a small, compact square with numerous shipping containers inside that the player can traverse through. As a result of the small design, the map is notorious for fast paced combat, as well as being a popular place for players to have duels. "Shipment" has been met with a mixed reception, with some praising it's fast-paced action and simple layout, but others criticizing it for those same reasons.
Design
"Shipment" is a multiplayer map from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007), a game developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision. The map takes place in a shipping yard near Chernobyl, Ukraine. The map's design is extremely small and simple, with the layout being a square with four smaller squares made of shipping containers inside it. Additional, angled shipping containers that the player can traverse through and take cover in are leaned up against each wall. No other elements are featured in the map. Due to its small size and simplicity, fighting on the map is often extremely frantic, with players sometimes being killed immediately upon spawning, which is known as "spawn-killing". This has made the map an ideal location for players to have duels, or "1v1s".
The map was created by Geoffrey Smith for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (2007), which he served as the multiplayer design director of. Prior to becoming the game's multiplayer designer, Smith created custom maps for Counter Strike 1.6 under the username "compoSITe". "Shipment" has been noted to share numerous similarities with "fy_iceworld", a famous map in the game's community. Due to Smith repurposing his own Counter-Strike maps for Call of Duty titles, it's possible that "Shipment" was directly based on "fy_iceworld". The map was originally designed exclusively to be played in a split-screen setting.
History
"Shipment" first appeared in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare as a multiplayer map. According to Smith, the map was never intended to be included in the final game, and was instead meant to serve as an internal testing map. Somehow during development, the map was added to the main multiplayer map selection, a mistake that wasn't noticed until the game had already shipped and it was too late. Smith has since commented that the map to be an accident, as well as the "bane of [his] existence." The map also appears in the game's 2016 remaster. The map was intended to be a part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009), though was removed from the game before release.
"Shipment" reappears in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), the reboot of the original game from 2007. The map was added after the games launch, and this version takes place in London instead of Chernobyl. The map has since appeared in the other games in the rebooted Modern Warfare sub-series, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022) and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023). The iteration featured in Modern Warfare II moved settings again, this time taking place on a container ship.
Other Call of Duty games have included maps based on "Shipment", though have given it different names, changed the setting, or changed the layout. These versions are "Container" in Call of Duty: Black Ops: Declassified (2012), "Showtime" in Call of Duty: Ghosts (2013), "Shipment 1944" in Call of Duty: WWII (2017), as well as a version in Call of Duty: Vanguard (2021).
Reception
"Shipment" has been frequently referred to as one of the most popular maps in the Call of Duty series, as well as one of its most iconic.
PC World's Brad Chacos praised the maps inclusion in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, describing the map as making up for the issues present within the game. He praised the maps fast paced combat, which allowed him to work around what he viewed to be a flawed system for leveling up his weapons. Some outlets have considered "Shipment" to be one of the best maps in the Call of Duty series due to its fast-paced nature, including Kotaku and GameRevolution. The latter wrote the map to offer "an experience that is unparalleled in first-person shooters to this day".
In contrast, PC Gamer's Morgan Park referred to the map as the worst map in video game history, commenting that the reasons people loved it were the same reasons why it was bad. Writing that the map "makes zero sense on paper", he criticized the maps layout and lack of cover provided, and described the map as being more of a meme or a tool to level up than a respected map. Furthermore, citing the fast-paced action that frequently occurred on the map, Park referred to the map as summarizing the points that people don't play Call of Duty espouse against it, a "brainless, low-effort meat grinder."

Playing career
Born and raised in Cordovil, a neighborhood in the north zone of Rio de Janeiro, Carlos played youth football for Campo Grande and received the "surname" of Vitor in 1992, after being spotted by Nova Iguaçu president Vitor Meirelles. Often called as "Carlos indicated by Vitor", he later became "Carlos Vitor".

Coaching career
After retiring, Carlos Vitor started working with the under-12 side of his main club Nova Iguaçu, and went on to manage the club in several youth categories. He became an interim head coach of the club in October 2011, after Zinho left, and managed the side in their last match of the year's Copa Rio.
Carlos Vitor susequently returned to the youth categories, being also an assistant in the main squad, before again becoming an interim on 17 March 2014, after Edson Souza was sacked. He was in charge of the club during a 1–1 draw against Botafogo five days later, before returning to his previous role after the appointment of Marcelo Salles.

This Mediterranean marine lichen was first described as a new species in 1873 by the Finish lichenologist William Nylander, who classified it in the genus Verrucaria. The type specimen was collected in Cape Béar, in the Eastern Pyrenees region of France, near the Mediterranean Sea. Claude Roux transferred the taxon to the genus Hydropunctaria in 2020.
In addition to France, the lichen has been documented from marine communities in Greece, and in Turkey's Iskenderun Bay, where it lives in the littoral zone in maritime environments.

76389968 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February%202013%20Kidal%20attack | February 2013 Kidal attack | On February 26, 2013, militants from MOJWA conducted a suicide bombing on fighters from the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) and Islamic Movement of Azawad (MIA) in Kidal, Mali.
Background
Separatist Tuareg fighters rebelled against the Malian government in 2012, quickly capturing major cities such as Kidal and Ménaka in the north and east of the country. The rebels sought autonomy and independence from the Malian government, and many fought for the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad. Jihadist groups such as Ansar Dine and the Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MOJWA), seeking an independent Azawad under Shari'a law, hijacked the rebellion and began attacking the more moderate MNLA and other separatist groups, along with launching suicide bombings against civilians.
Attack
At the time of the attack, the city of Kidal was under the control of the MNLA and the allied Islamic Movement of Azawad (MIA). French and Chadian forces controlled the Kidal Airport near the city. Around 7:30pm on February 26, a Toyota Land Cruiser filled with explosives drove towards a checkpoint manned by the MNLA in the Aliou district of southern Kidal. The truck detonated about ten meters from the checkpoint, as the guards were preparing to check the driver and his vehicle for explosives.
A Malian military source in Gao stated that the MNLA manned the checkpoint at the time of the attack, which was corroborated by an MNLA press release mourning the deaths of their fighters. Alghabass Ag Intalla, the head of the MIA, claimed that the bombing took place at a checkpoint manned by his fighters.
Aftermath
MOJWA claimed responsibility for the attack, but gave no further details. Intalla claimed the deaths of four to six MIA fighters. Local hospital sources reported that seven people were killed in the attack, and eleven others were injured. An MNLA press release claimed the deaths of seven MNLA fighters and injuries of several others. The bodies of the victims were buried in a mass grave the next day.

76390032 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1943%20Portuguese%20Orthographic%20Form | 1943 Portuguese Orthographic Form | The 1943 Portuguese Orthographic Form, approved on August 12, 1943, is a set of instructions established by the Brazilian Academy of Letters for the subsequent creation of the Vocabulário Ortográfico da Língua Portuguesa (Orthographic Vocabulary of the Portuguese Language) in the same year. This document, along with the modifications made by Law 5,765 of December 18, 1971, regulates the spelling of Portuguese in Brazil. It was also incorporated and modified by the Orthographic Agreement of 1990.
History
In an attempt to put an end to the orthographic differences between Portugal and Brazil, as a result of Portugal's incorporation of the Orthographic Reform of 1911, several meetings were held involving the Academies of the two countries, which resulted in a preliminary agreement signed in 1931. However, as the vocabularies that were published in 1940 (by the Lisbon Academy of Sciences) and 1943 (by the Brazilian Academy of Letters) still showed some differences, there was a need for further meetings in Lisbon, which led to the 1945 Orthographic Agreement. This agreement was legislated in Portugal, but in Brazil it was not ratified by the National Congress, and Brazilians still followed the 1943 Orthographic Form.
The implementation of the 1990 Orthographic Agreement - which brought a significant reduction in spelling differences between Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese - incorporates the 1943 Orthographic Form as well as the 1945 Orthographic Agreement.
Text of the 1943 Orthographic Form
The text of the 1943 Orthographic Form consists of two parts:
Introduction: made up of 12 articles, it outlined the fixing principles for the spelling of Brazilian Portuguese.
Form Bases: made up of 17 bases, it presented the principles guiding the spelling of the Portuguese language in Brazil since 1943, with the modifications made by Law 5,765 of December 18, 1971.
Form Bases
1st Base - Alphabet: establishes the 23-letter structure of the Portuguese alphabet, allowing the use of the letters K, W and Y only in special cases.
2nd Base - K, W, Y: presents the graphical changes to terms that previously used these letters - k for qu (before e and i) or for c (before a, o and u). The w, was replaced by v or u, according to its phonetic value. The y was always replaced by i. The only exceptions were the letters that make up international abbreviations or are part of foreign anthroponyms.
3rd Base - H: this letter was retained only at the beginning of words whose etymology justified it, in the digraphs ch, lh and nh, in interjections and in compounds with a hyphen. It was abolished in compounds without a hyphen.
4th Base - Silent consonants: complete elimination of any consonants that are not pronounced, except for words that have variants with pronounced or unpronounced letters.
5th Base - SC: elimination of the sc at the beginning of words and retention only when words have already been formed.
6th Base - Doubled letters: retention of the rr and ss groups with a single sound and the cc (or cç) group with distinct sounds.
7th Base - Nasal vowels: fixing the spelling of these vowels.
8th Base - Diphthongs: rules for spelling oral and nasal diphthongs.
9th Base - Vowel hiatus: use of oe and ue in verbs ending in oar and uar in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd singular of the subjunctive.
10th Base - Paronyms and double-spelled words: fixing the spellings of e/i, o/u, c/q, ch/x, g/j, s/ss/c/ç, s/x, s/z and the multiple phonetic values of x.
11th Base - Proper nouns: Form's rules for aportuguesamento and proper names. Except for toponyms with a historical tradition, such as "Bahia".
12th Base - Graphic accentuation: rules for spelling accents in oxytones, paroxytones and proparoxytones.
13th Base - Apostrophe: only for the suppression of letters in verses, reproduction of popular pronunciations, suppression of vowels in compound words that have been consecrated by usage, such as d'oeste, d'alho, d'arco, etc.
14th Base - Hyphen: use of hyphens in verbs and compound words with prefixes and suffixes, as well as verbs.
15th Base - Syllabic division: determined that syllabic separation should be done by spelling and no longer by etymology.
16th Base - Use of capital letters: presented the rules for the use of capital letters, excluding them for months of the year, cardinal points, names of peoples and nationalities.
17th Base - Punctuation marks: use of quotation marks (double quotation marks), parentheses, dashes and periods.
Spelling of Brazilian Portuguese before the 1943 reform
Orthographic rules
Some rules regarding the morphology of Portuguese, in Brazil before 1943, in Portugal before 1911, many similar to those of English and French (still in progress).
Use of the following consonant clusters:
Doubled consonant = used where etymology justified it, as in difficil (difficult, Latin difficilis) and cavallo (horse, Latin caballum);
CH (K sound) = used in words of Greek origin, where the letter Χ (chi) is used, as in christão (χριστιανός) and architectura (Αρχιτεκτονική);
MM = obeyed the original Latin spelling, as in commercio (commercium), where the first M represented the nasal sound before the syllabic M;
MN = a similar case to the previous one, differing only in the nasal M sound preceded by N, as in alumno (student) and columna (column);
PH = used in words of Greek origin, where the letter Φ (phi) is used, as in pharmacia (φάρμακον) and philosophia (φιλοσοφία);
TH = was used in words of Greek origin, where the letter Θ (theta) is used, as in theatro (θέατρον) and thorax (θώραξ);
XH = was commonly used in cases of juxtaposition of the prefix ex with the letter H, as in exhibição (exhibition) or exhalação (exhalation).
In compliance with the rules described above, prefixes and suffixes of Greek origin were written as follows:
Grapho (to write, to engrave) = PH was used in place of the current F, as in caligraphia and telegraphista;
Hydro (water) = used Y, as in hydrographia;
Hyper (very) = used Y, as in hyperbole and hypertrophia;
Poly (innumerable, various) = used Y, as in polytechnica and polygono;
Phono (sound, voice) = PH was used, as in telephone and phonographo;
Photo (light) = used PH, as in photographia;
Theca (collection) = T followed by H, as in bibliotheca (Greek: βιβλιοθήκη) and pinacotheca (πινακοθήκη).
Specific endings:
EZ = replaced by the current ÊS, as in mez (month) and portuguez (Portuguese);
OS = replaced by US, as in Deos (God) and Ilhéos (Ilhéus);
Plural of "AL" = words like animal (animal) and vegetal (vegetable), which are now pluralized as animais and vegetais, used to be animaes and vegetaes, with ES instead of IS;
The H between vowels:
It preceded stressed vowels and in hiatus, as in Jahu (Jaú) and sahida (exit).
Enclisis
For example, in amá-la (love her), the L was separated from the pronoun and joined to the word: amal-a.
Origins
This spelling, which preceded 1911 in Portugal and 1943 in Brazil, emerged around the middle of the 17th century and was developed by Portuguese linguists. One of the main reasons for the use of this spelling system, in addition to the modernization of the language, was the Portuguese language's attempt to distance itself from Spanish. From 1580 to 1640, Portugal shared a dynastic union with Spain, a period known as the Iberian Union. And a very common theory in Spain at the time was that Portuguese was a dialect of Spanish. Obviously, this Spanish theory was created in order to act as a "tool" for greater domination over the Portuguese. This theory is perpetuated in relation to Galician, which is alternatively considered to be one of the dialects of the Galician-Portuguese linguistic system, alongside Iberian Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.

Associated with the music of San Marino, only a single work of his survives, the 1637 collection Concerti spirituali concertati a 2–7 et con instrumenti, libro 1.
Life and career
There is little known of Francesco Maria Marini; he lived around 1637. The frontispiece of his surviving music indicates that he was born in Pesaro.
He is known to have been music director for the republic San Marino's most important church.
Music
Although only a single set of his compositions survive, the British musicologist Jerome Roche remarks "That so few works survive is a matter for regret, since they show a surprisingly competent talent for a comparative outpost such as San Marino, geographically far removed from the centres of composition in the 1630s".

76390102 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sholto%20Henry%20MacLellan%2C%208th%20Lord%20Kirkcudbright | Sholto Henry MacLellan, 8th Lord Kirkcudbright | Sholto Henry McClellan was 8th Lord Kirkcudbright, from 1801 to 1827. The son of John MacLellan, 7th Lord Kirkcudbright, and Elizabeth Bannister, he was born on September 1, 1769, in Cowes, Isle of Wight, Hampshire, England.
Background
After attending Tonbridge School in Tonbridge, Kent, England, Sholto Henry McClellan was admitted to Pembroke College, University of Cambridge on June 18, 1790, where he received
an M.A. in 1792. He succeeded to the hereditary honor of Baron Kirkcudbright on December 24, 1801, upon the death of his father, John MacLellan, 7th Lord Kirkcudbright, and regularly participated in the Election of Scots Peers at Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
McClellan is sometimes referred to as 9th Lord Kirkcudbright; a common misconception that arises due to the fact that in 1668, John McClellan of Auchlane, in the Parish of Kelton and the County of Kirkcudbrightshire, made a supplication as heir of the deceased William MacLellan 4th Lord Kirkcudbright, as nephew of John MacLellan 3rd Lord Kirkcudbright, but immediately renounced his right as heir because he was pursued by his father William MacLellan of Auchlane's creditors and lacked sufficient funds to pay off his debts. Nevertheless, he is occasionally referred to as a Lord Kirkcudbright, despite the fact that he never possessed the title.
As Lord Kirkcudbright, Sholto Henry McClellan often frequented the theater and sometimes found himself in the public eye because of his controversial behavior. In September 1807, he assaulted Miss Ann Lunden, who was attacked by Lord Kirkcudbright's dog. When she tried to fend off the dog with a walking stick, Lord Kirkcudbright kicked her and called her a "damn bitch." Witness testimony confirmed the assault, leading to Lord Kirkcudbright being found guilty and fined £20 by the court.
Similarly, in July 1817, Lord Kirkcudbright and his servant, J. Watts, were charged with assaulting Mr. John Penning in Marlborough Street. Penning opposed Lord Kirkcudbright's removal of furniture without paying rent. McClellan threatened Penning with a pistol, and Watts challenged him to a fight. Eventually, an agreement was reached, and the case was discharged after Lord Kirkcudbright posted bail.
In April 1825, Lord Kirkcudbright appeared before the Magistrates for breaking two panes of glass in Mrs. Kilner's drawing-room window, adjacent to his house. He explained his action as a response to what he perceived as impertinent looks from Mrs. Kilner's sons. Lord Kirkcudbright agreed to pay £0.12 in damages and £0.04 in costs after the Magistrates intervened.
It wasn't unusual to encounter rather harsh portrayals of Lord Kirkcudbright in satirical cartoons during that era. This was mostly likely because Sholto Henry McClellan may have been born with congenital kyphosis, a condition where the upper back bones fail to develop properly, causing the spine to curve and creating the appearance of a hunchback. Several works can be found in the British Museum collection, including illustrations by artists such as John Cawse, Isaac Cruikshank, James Gillray, Nicolaus Heideloff, William Holland, and Charles Williams.

76390193 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis%20M.%20Nevins | Francis M. Nevins | Francis Michael Nevins Jr. (born January 6, 1943) is an American mystery writer, attorney, and professor of law at Saint Louis University School of Law. He has also written a number of non-fiction works, including book-length studies of the life and works of Ellery Queen and of Cornell Woolrich, each of which earned the author an Edgar Award.
Early life and career
Born in Bayonne, New Jersey, and raised in Roselle Park, Nevins earned a Bachelor of Arts in 1964 from Saint Peter's College (since renamed as Saint Peter's University) and a Juris Doctor from New York University School of Law in 1967. He passed the bar in New Jersey that same year, and, as of 1970, was a staff attorney for Middlesex County Legal Services. The following year, Nevins joined the faculty of the St. Louis University School of Law.
1971 also saw the publication of Nevins' first book, Nightwebs: A Collection of Short Stories by Cornell Woolrich, a book "not to be missed," according to Chicago Tribune critic Alice Cromie, who also notes that "the appended comprehensive checklist of Woolrich works, compiled by Woolrich, with Harold Knott and William Thailing, is by itself worth the price of the book to suspense collectors." Also featured is an introductory biographical essay by Nevins.
In 1975, Nevins received a special Edgar Award for Royal Bloodline; Ellery Queen, Author and Detective, a study dealing with both the authors—Fred Dannay and Manfred Bennington Lee—and the protagonist of the Ellery Queen novels. In 1989, he was awarded the Edgar for best biographical or critical study for his book, Cornell Woolrich: First You Dream, Then You Die.
Nevins' short story "After the Twelfth Chapter"—initially published in the September 1972 issue of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine—was included in Allen Hubin's Best Detective Stories of the Year, 1973. Hubin also included Nevins stories in the anthology's 1975 and 1979 editions.
