Protopannaria pezizoides

Protopannaria pezizoides, the gray moss-shingle, is a species of squamulose lichen in the family Pannariaceae. It was first described scientifically by the German botanist Georg Heinrich Weber in 1778. It has a long and complex taxonomic history, and has an extensive synonymy. It was transferred to the genus Protopannaria by Per Magnus Jørgensen and Stefan Ekman in 2000; it was assigned as the type species of the genus. Protopannaria pezizoides is widespread, with a continental distribution that includes Africa, Asia, North America, and Oceania. The lichen thrives in moist and/or humid conditions, predominantly found on soil and at the bases of trees, and occasionally on rocks, within forested and arctic-alpine settings. Its partner is from Nostoc, a genus of cyanobacteria. It does not contain any lichen products, and all standard chemical spot tests are negative.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolt%20of%20Montefalcione

Revolt of Montefalcione

The revolt of Montefalcione was a popular pro-Bourbon insurrection that occurred between July 6 and 10, 1861, which had Montefalcione as its epicenter, as well as spreading to several neighboring towns and villages. The anti-unification unrest that shook the territory of Irpinia in those days was characterized by bloody fighting and acts of hostility, perpetrated by both factions involved. These acts culminated in a massacre, carried out in the town of Montemiletto and its surroundings by contingents of the Hungarian Legion and the Royal Italian Army, through the summary killing, for the purpose of repression and reprisal, of a number of rioters and civilians varying, according to sources, between 97 and 150. Among them, Giuseppe D'Amore, a boy who was only thirteen years old, was also shot. Background First revolt of Montemiletto In September 1860, about a month before the holding of the annexation plebiscites, while the territory of the Campanian provinces was affected by the events related to Garibaldi's campaign in the south of Italy's mainland and the imminent entry of regular troops of the Piedmontese army, most of the populations of Montemiletto, Torre Le Nocelle and Pietradefusi rose up in arms against the pro-Unitarian forces to restore the authority of Francis II, railing against the liberal families in the area. In Montemiletto, the action of liberal groups led to the overthrow of Bourbon institutions: on the night of September 5, some pro-Unitarian veterans of the Ariano insurrection, including Carmine Tarantino, a captain of the National Guard and professor at the Royal High School, entered the town. Receiving the support of Giuseppe Fierimonte, leader of the liberals and captain of the local National Guard, Tarantino and his men, extolling Garibaldi, headed for the local telegraph post, cutting its wires and isolating it. The group then placed under arrest the Urban Guard militiamen who had resisted the taking of the town. The action of the pro-Unitarian forces led to turmoil and agitation among the legitimist population: at dawn on September 6, the sound of the tofa, a sea shell used as a horn of call, summoned the peasants of the countryside surrounding Montemiletto to prepare to fight back. In the evening, ringing bells accompanied the village uprising, which was led by Matteo Lanzilli of Montemiletto and Carmine Ardolino of Torre Le Nocelle. Armed with rifles and rural tools, the commoners penetrated Giuseppe Fieramonte's palace, killing him with axes and shotguns. Other liberals perished: Domenico Colletti and his son, Angelo Leone, brother of the archpriest, Raffaele La Porta, Pellegrino Meola and his son, some members of the Pesa family, and other liberals from Aiello and Montaperto returning from the Ariano expedition. Giacinto de' Sivo reports that the bodies of the liberals were laid out on the telegraph pylons that they had torn down the previous day. According to some sources, a total of 23 liberals were killed and the homes of many landowners were looted. The following day the legitimists moved toward Torre Le Nocelle and "to the sound of drums and with white flags, shouting Long Live Francis II." They went through the streets of the town, hunting down the liberals: three of them, Pasquale Rotondi, Carmine Rotondi and Baldassare Rotondi, were killed. On the morning of the 7th, Bourbon soldiers on horseback set out from Avellino for Montemiletto, but were recalled by General Scotti and driven back. At the same time, Garibaldian troops entered the town of Irpinia, putting it back under the Unitarian forces, repressing and arresting the rioters, with the intention of "exacting revenge" on the population, in the words of historian de' Sivo. On the same day, Garibaldi entered Naples. The uprising resulted in more than five hundred indicted, and nearly four hundred arrests. In Dentecane, a jury was set up, with the task of judging those arrested and executing among them the "instigators of public order by seditious actions." The special court was dissolved on October 27, 1860 by an act of Minister of Grace and Justice Pasquale Scura, countersigned by prodictator Giorgio Pallavicino, and the jurisdiction was transferred to the ordinary courts. In mid-September Garibaldi sent J. R. Wolfe, in his capacity as "Surgeon of the General Staff" to the area to treat the wounded of Ariano and Montemiletto, who had a grim impression of the living conditions of many families, and on September 18 he opened a subscription to which he called on Neapolitans to contribute "so that you may wish with offerings to help those unhappy fellow citizens of yours who have paid such a high price for your present joy." To escape capture, many rioters had gone into hiding, taking refuge in the woods between Montefalcione, Montemiletto, Lapio, Chiusano and Montaperto, as well as in the mountains of Volturara, Sorbo and Salza. The formation of rebel groups These first groups of insurgents, later enlarged by other fugitives, began to organize militarily also due to the presence among them of former soldiers of the Army of the Two Sicilies. The armed bands that were being formed had the more or less explicit support of the legitimist populations, receiving logistical and organizational support from numerous inhabitants of the municipalities in the area, acting as liaisons between the insurgent groups and the various towns. Two figures in particular soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, that of 25-year-old Basilio Pagliuca, who was the mastermind and military leader of the revolt, and that of 42-year-old Gaetano Maria Baldassarre. Both from prominent Montefalcione families (their respective fathers had served as mayors at different times), they were the leading figures of the resistance movement. Baldassarre, who had played a prominent role in the Montemiletto uprising of September 1860, had already been denounced on the following October 30 by Montefalcione Mayor Carlo Contrada, who had explicitly requested the authorities in Naples that the captain of the National Guard of Candida, Michele Tagle, be put on his trail. Gaetano Baldassarre was the soul of the turmoil. He and his sister Nicolina were energetic activists: they held organizational meetings, encouraged the resistance, and worked to spread insurrectional ideas by putting up political posters hostile to the Savoy government and Garibaldi as well as extolling the revolt. Also collaborating with Baldassarre was archpriest Gaetano Girone, who was similarly denounced to the authorities in Naples. The arrest warrant against Baldassarre was issued by Naples on November 1, 1860, and its execution was referred to the governor of Avellino, Giuseppe Belli, who had called Baldassarre "the fiercest leader of the rebellion that took place in Montefalcione and the massacres of Montemiletto." Baldassarre left the area in order to escape capture, and took refuge first in Capua, and then in Gaeta, where he was one of the extreme defenders of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies as part of the siege of the fortress. After the capitulation of Gaeta, and in accordance with the surrender pacts, he returned to Montefalcione, where he disguised under an apparent tranquility his intention to continue in the work of rebellion, becoming the political coordinator of the revolt. In addition to Pagliuca and Baldassarre, other men from the surrounding area rose to the role of leaders of the movement, including Angelo Ciarla of Montemiletto, Vincenzo Petruzziello of Montefalcione, Pasquale Palladino of Lapio and Francesco de Francesco of Chiusano. Montefalcione riots The insurrection As early as the first days of January 1861, the governor of Avellino was alerted about the preparations of the revolt, which was underway in the area between Montefalcione, Lapio, Montemiletto, Torre le Nocelle and Pietradefusi. Upon such news, a reconnaissance unit commanded by Captain Masi was sent to the area, with orders to conduct searches and disarm suspects. Despite this, a number of Bourbon flags were hoisted in Montefalcione on February 10, and the subsequent arrival of Captain Tagle in an investigative capacity had no major results. The situation in the area became progressively uncontrollable, and not even the National Guard was in a position to exert any opposition to the rising sentiment of rebellion. On the evening of July 5, the military leaders of the uprising, led by the young Pagliuca, worked out the final details of the action to be taken, and exchanged their watchword, which was to be "Rome and seven clubs." The next morning, two armed men came to the mayor of Montefalcione, Diocle Polcari, intimating that he should destroy the Savoy insignia and incite the people to revolt. After pretending to comply, the mayor fled to Candida to his brother Basilio at the first opportunity. In the afternoon of the same day, about sixty men, including many uniformed Bourbon soldiers, entered the town commanded by Basilio Pagliuca and Carmine la Contrada. Upon the department's arrival, the population rose up, disarming the National Guard, destroying the Savoyard insignia and raising the Bourbon flag in their place; meanwhile, the few liberals in the village fled. The Savoy government was declared forfeited, the Bourbon government restored, and Gaetano Baldassarre was appointed mayor, effectively restoring Montefalcione as a territory of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The municipality thus became the center of a revolt that would soon spread to neighboring towns and villages, while Pagliuca was assumed to be the point of reference for conspirators from neighboring villages. The government counteroffensive Even before the hotbed of revolt was ignited in Montefalcione, government forces in nearby Montemiletto feared an uprising in the town, so much so that they lobbied the new governor of Avellino, Nicola De Luca, several times, tending to obtain the dispatch of military units. The governor arranged several arrest warrants issued for anyone suspected of plotting against the new government, but he could not send soldiers, since the bulk of those he had, about eighty men from the 62nd Infantry Regiment, were employed in guarding the overcrowded prisons in the province filled with reactionaries. Montemiletto, however, was considered a square of relevant strategic importance, since it was seen as the last outpost in defense of the Montefusco prison, in which about 300 prisoners were held, part of whom were precisely Montemiletto people arrested after the September 1860 uprising and for whom a liberation attempt was feared. Thus, on July 5, De Luca authorized Carmine Tarantino, accompanied by a few soldiers, to gather men to take on Montemiletto. Stopping at Candida, Tarantino hoped to complete his troop by also hiring Tagle, who had 72 National Guard militiamen at his disposal, but a reasonable economic arrangement could not be found. Before reaching Montemiletto, the expedition crossed paths with some liberal families fleeing the town, but Tarantino convinced them to turn back. On the 6th, the Savoyards entered Montemiletto, establishing in the Fierimonti (or Fierimonte) palace, which had the appearance of a fort, their headquarters. An initial reaction to the legitimist insurrection in Montefalcione was thus organized. On July 7, starting from Montemiletto, Carmine Tarantino, together with Archpriest Leone, a former prisoner, later pardoned, and now mayor of the same town, at the head of five line infantry soldiers, a few National Guardsmen and about 40 volunteers (among them, according to De Sivo there were also Camorrists), attempted the assault on Montefalcione; however, finding themselves outnumbered, they were forced to retreat, taking shelter in Contrada Bosco. Hailing from Montefredane, Montefusco, Santa Paolina, Pratola and Prata, about one hundred and twenty men, including infantrymen and national guardsmen, came to Tarantino's rescue. A firefight with the rebels ensued: nine of them were taken prisoner, while one fell in combat. The government troops, about to gain the upper hand, pursued the reactionaries all the way into the town of Montefalcione, but were led, thus, into an ambush: they were repelled and forced to flee. Tarantino, abandoned by his reinforcements, returned with his group to Montemiletto, locking himself up in the Fierimonte palace along with the liberal families. After the revolt To Montefalcione, now in legitimist hands, came from Montemiletto a squad of men, some of them wearing the uniform of the Army of the Two Sicilies, led by Angelo Ciarla. Friar Urbano Noviello led a procession through the streets of the town, during which a picture of Queen Maria Cristina, wife of Ferdinand II and venerated as a saint, was raised. In the meantime, on the morning of July 7, Basilio Pagliuca had moved toward Chiusano di San Domenico, with the aim of fostering the uprising of this town and to help the insurgents of Lapio; while, the next day, Angelo Ciarla left Montefalcione with his men to return to Montemiletto. Despite the moments of great popular excitement, in Montefalcione, during the few days of the Baldassarre administration, public order was ensured and no criminal incidents were recorded. The only notable exception was the seizure of weapons from the home of Ercole Polcari. News of the success of the Montefalcione movement soon spread to neighboring towns: dozens of municipalities and villages rose up, destroying the Savoy insignia and restoring Bourbon institutions with the appointment of a mayor and the reestablishment of the Urban Guard. There were reportedly thirty-one insurgent towns, although official documents indicate that, excluding villages, there were fewer than twenty insurgent municipalities. The massacre of Montemiletto On the morning of July 8, the legitimist revolt spread to the town of Montemiletto, but the clash reached its climax the following night. The episode is described by both historian Giacinto de' Sivo and Swiss writer Marc Monnier, who refers to an "unpublished" report drawn up by the vice-governor of the province of Avellino and sent to the Secretariat of the Interior and Police in Naples. According to Monnier, about 60 rioters, whose ranks were soon swelled by local peasants to 400, besieged the Fierimonte palace, where the Montemiletto liberals had barricaded themselves with their families. The rebels attacked the Fierimonte palace to the cry of "Long live Francis II," to which the liberals replied "Long live Italy." A long gunfight ensued and the pro-Bourbonists set fire to the building using bundles brought by women as fuel. The main gate and a barricade erected by the liberals were consequently half-burned, and were finally destroyed with axes. The besiegers were then able to enter the palace en masse and quickly get the better of the besieged. Tarantino was personally killed by Vincenzo Petruzziello; Leone, two of the latter's brothers and some members of the Fusco and Colletto families equally died. Both de' Sivo and Monnier report the presence of women and children among the defenders of Fierimonte Palace, but they mention them differently. The former counts them exclusively among the legitimists, the latter reports that women and children from liberal families were "slaughtered" during the assault on the building. According to Monnier, one soldier was shot and two men shouting "Long live Italy" were dragged to the cemetery and thrown alive into a pit among the corpses. Three other soldiers were finally taken to Montefalcione and were ordered to fire on their fellow soldiers who were attacking the town. Of the three, two refused and were killed, while the last, pretending to accept, managed to escape, rejoining the liberal forces. Instead, de' Sivo reports that a Piedmontese officer and five of his men were taken to the cemetery and shot there. In counting liberal casualties, Monnier states that "seventeen men perished cruelly in the Fierimonte palace," while de' Sivo reports that few of Tarantino's forty men were saved. The number of dead among the insurgents, however, is not known. Massacre of Montefalcione The clash Although the disbanding of the various detachments of the National Guard had the consequence of relieving the military capacity that the Avellino Junta could exercise over the surrounding territory, Governor De Luca made an attempt to recapture Montefalcione. On the morning of July 9, commanding a column of National Guards, soldiers and some Montefalcione liberals, a total number varying, depending on the sources, from one hundred to over four hundred, he marched to the insurgent town held by some 2,000 insurgents to recapture it and re-establish government authority. Before the expedition reached the vicinity of the village, moving along hilly paths, a man in shabby clothes, claiming to be Pagliuca's ambassador, came to meet the troop and asked to speak with the governor. The ambassador reported that if the column entered in peace, the rebels would leave and no violence would be used against the government people. De Luca replied: The messenger retorted, "This will never happen." De Luca saved his life so that the latter could report to Pagliuca that, as a "brigand," he had no right to negotiate agreements. Having resumed their march, after a brief halt, the government men fell, a league and a half away from the town, into an initial ambush, which they soon managed to repel. Having entered, about a hundred paces into the built-up area, an apparently deserted Montefalcione, they were surprised by an unexpected attack from the commoners. Men, women and children, barricaded in the dwellings, from the windows, pelted the pro-Savoyards with stones and arquebuses; according to Tecce, many of the commoners were armed with rifled guns, but, untrained in their use, loaded them improperly with poor results in shooting. De Luca succeeded in killing a woman, who proved quick in reloading her weapon, by shooting her in the mouth, while his men set fire to a house on the roof of which rebels were stationed, but the latter still prevailed, forcing the liberals to flee to avoid being surrounded, after about two hours of fighting. The government men thus took cover within the walls of the Christian Doctrine Fathers' monastery, forcing their way in, where they were surrounded by siege. At least six soldiers, including a Piedmontese sergeant, failed to enter the building before the barricades were hoisted. Remaining in the open, three of them, including the sergeant and a captain, fell victim to the rebels, while the other three, who were later let into the monastery, got the better of two rioters, killing them. During the night, the combat did not cease, but, then, the rioters' shots were directed against the tricolor flag, raised on the bell tower of the monastery, while the white flag of the Two Sicilies flew from the bell tower of the church of Montefalcione and on the highest peaks of the palaces. Once the firing ended, the government officials were, then, the object of ridicule and derision by the insurgents. The siege continued and around two o'clock, the insurgents unsuccessfully attempted to set fire to the monastery; at the same time one of the National Guardsmen attempted to escape, but was shot dead by Michele Pagliuca. By morning, the government troops were exhausted and on the verge of capitulation. The pro-Savoyards, therefore, were preparing for a desperate sortie, aware that they were outnumbered and, therefore, largely destined to perish. At the same time, in the square in front of the monastery, the rebellious women had resumed piling up bundles. If the government troops had been defeated, the legitimists would have had the road to Avellino paved, which was completely unprotected and could have led to unexpected repercussions throughout the province. The requests for relief sent to Naples by De Luca, through the Avellino Junta, were answered by the order, given by Colonel Juhász of the Hungarian Legion, stationed in Nocera Inferiore, to send to the area 2 companies (three hundred men) and all available Hussars from the garrison of Nocera. Thus it was that, as early as the morning of July 9, two companies of the infantry battalion and one hundred and twenty Hussars arrived in Avellino under the command of Major Girczy. The victory of the Royal Army and the massacre The Hungarian companies of the Royal Italian Army were divided into two detachments, one of which, composed of the first company commanded by Captain Pinczés, moved toward Montefusco; the other, composed of the second company, commanded by Captain Biró, moved toward Montemiletto. The two detachments received additional hussars in reinforcement before the end of the day, along with orders to prepare to attack Montefalcione from the north the next morning at 7 a.m. to free De Luca from the siege at the convent. The plan was that at the same time Captain Girczy would carry out a pincer movement on the village, attacking in turn from the south. The attack was carried at the agreed time, in the direction of the Montefalcione monastery, where the infantrymen of the Aosta brigade and the National Guards commanded by De Luca were barricaded. The arrival of the Hungarians, announced to the liberals by the observation of a change in activity in the village, where men and women fled carrying personal belongings, and by the ringing of bells sounding the alarm, enabled the besieged to counterattack by exiting the monastery. After a resistance of about an hour, most of the besiegers were forced to disperse. A group of about five hundred insurgents, on the other hand, determined to resist, fell back to the upper part of the town. Of these, about forty barricaded themselves in two farms, which were set on fire by the Hungarians. Forced out to escape the flames, they were all massacred. Around 11 a.m., the attacking forces managed to regroup under the command of Major Girczy and head for the center of the village. Upon reaching the village, the Hungarians attacked the barricades raised as best the insurgents could and overpowered them, then pursued them through the streets of the village and the surrounding countryside, where "terrible slaughter was made of them." In fact, a bloody reprisal was initiated, with indiscriminate shootings that continued into the night[55]. The newspaper Il Nazionale of July 13, 1861 reported that the bodies of 30 people were found in the streets of the urban center, while other lifeless bodies were scattered throughout the countryside. Giacinto de' Sivo and Marc Monnier reported 30 people slaughtered in a church (or a house) and five other men shot. Other sources, including Pietro Calà Ulloa, at the time prime minister of the Bourbon government in exile in Rome, claim a church was the place of execution, writing that 50 "men who were refugees in the same house of God" were killed. Eight others, then, were shot in the monastery of the Christian Doctrine Fathers. According to de' Sivo, as the population fled, the militiamen of the Hungarian legion went through the houses looting them and setting fire to them; among others, Pagliuca's house was also looted. According to Tecce, who reports only the fire at the latter's palace, the household goods taken from it were, however, distributed to the poor. The rioters fleeing to the mountains, scattered among the woods, were pursued by the men of the Hungarian Legion led by Major Rheinfeld (two companies and two sections with 4 pieces of mountain artillery), in a roundup that lasted until July 14. With government authority restored, Lieutenant Santulli was able to replace the Bourbon flag placed on the bell tower with the tricolor flag. In the following days the Savoy forces were augmented by the arrival of two companies of riflemen commanded by Major Rheinfeld, equipped with four cannons. The Hungarians, with orders to shoot on sight, raked the countryside in the area at length in search of fugitives. In Verzare, a hamlet of Montefalcione, and in other parts of the country, four people were shot, including Giuseppe D'Amore, a boy who was only thirteen years old. Forty-seven other insurgents were executed, falling victims to summary shootings. Vincenzo Petruzziello was also shot, but before his execution he confessed that the money that had financed the insurgents came from Benevento and Rome. The massacre was echoed in newspapers in the area, which described the events. In L'Irpino of July 10, for example, it was written, "The massacre of the enemies is a horrendous thing to say and to see, not a single person's life has been spared." Meanwhile, La Bandiera Italiana of July 14 commented, "The massacre of the brigands has atoned for those painful losses of ours with immense carnage. No quarter has been given to anyone, and rightly so. It is time to rid the towns of these Iroquois." Epilogue The events of July 1861 involved an unspecified number of rioters, which different sources estimate at between 2000 and 6000 in revolt against the Kingdom of Italy. The number of victims is still unspecified: while nothing is known about the number of those burned alive, as for those killed in combat and those shot, the different sources report numbers varying from 97 to 100 to 135 up to 150 killed, the number of liberals killed by the legitimists is not counted. Many of the military personnel participating in the Montefalcione massacre obtained honors from the Italian government for their behavior in the field. Major Girczy was decorated with the cross of knight of the Military Order of Savoy and the bronze medal of military valor, and an honor was also received by Major Rheinfeld; 4 officers and 16 troop soldiers were decorated with the silver medal of military valor, and 32 troop soldiers received honorable mention. Liberal Pasquale Mauriello, on the other hand, was awarded the post of mayor of Montefalcione. He became the protagonist of acts of bribery and abuse of office to the point of being dismissed. Taking advantage of the general climate of judicial persecution, he collected bribes from his fellow citizens, who in return obtained the cancellation of all charges. Repression of insurrectionary movements Following the suppression of the Montefalcione insurrection, there was an extensive military campaign in the following days that targeted the various towns in the surrounding area. With a force of 200 hussars, a battalion of the 62nd Line Infantry, a company of Hungarians, a company of the 6th Line Infantry and 800 National Guardsmen, government troops moved among the insurgent towns to pacify their populations. In Montemiletto, the arrival of the Hungarians caused a real exodus: Monnier reports the flight of about 4,000 people from the town to the fields and mountains. The Savoy retaliation was even harsher on the inhabitants of this town, as seventeen people had been killed there, including royal soldiers, camorrists and liberal civilians. On July 14, after Count Gustavo Ponza di San Martino, the king's lieutenant, offered his resignation due to his inability to normalize the territory, he was replaced by General Enrico Cialdini. Thus a rumor spread, probably without foundation, that Cialdini had planned to bomb Montemiletto just as he had bombed Gaeta, only to desist. Despite the fierce repression suffered by the town, L'Irpino of August 10 reported that Montemiletto was preparing to rise up once again against the Unitarian government. In Lapio, several summary executions were carried out; among those executed were the trumpeter and drummer of the town's musical band, as they were guilty of playing the national anthem of the Two Sicilies during the days of the revolt. In Castelfranci, on the other hand, Nicola Roberto was arrested for making speeches adverse to the government; he managed, however, to escape, but was again captured and shot. In Prata, a blacksmith, Alfonso Luongo, was accused of extolling Francis II and insulting Garibaldi and the government: for this he was indicted for conspiracy. In Volturara, a ringleader was hanged and left exposed for several days; while De Luca thus qualified the town and its inhabitants: Government action was also characterized by the indiscriminate rounding up of commoners, who were arrested and herded into prisons in Montemiletto, Sant'Angelo dei Lombardi, Montella, Avellino and Montefusco. Due to overcrowding and inhumane conditions of detention, a very high number of deaths were recorded in the latter two prisons, due to the spread of infectious diseases among the prisoners. Aftermath The two protagonists of the Montefalcione events had different fates. Basilio Pagliuca, who survived the massacre, went into hiding for some time. Hunted down, he was persuaded to turn himself in and underwent a long trial, at the end of which he was sentenced to twenty-five years of hard labor, followed by another ten years of special surveillance, plus a fine of one hundred liras. It is certain, however, that he did not serve his entire sentence, as he married Consolata Anzalone on August 6, 1881. He died while still young on March 19, 1894, leaving his wife and seven children. Gaetano Maria Baldassarre also remained a fugitive for a time. On more than one occasion Michele Tagle, head of the National Guards, went to Montefalcione to search his home. Tagle went so far as to demand from him, through his brother-in-law, a bribe of 50 piastres, with which he could buy his freedom, but Baldassarre did not accept the blackmail. On the night of January 6-7, 1863, a letter from him addressed precisely to his brother-in-law was intercepted and his hiding place revealed: he was arrested and referred to the war court on charges of brigandage, but his fate is unknown. Subsequent trials led to the conviction of at least seventeen participants in the insurrectional uprisings, most to heavy sentences of hard labor, special surveillance and fines. The events of Montefalcione were mentioned in a parliamentary motion made on November 20, 1861 by Casoria deputy Francesco Proto, Duke of Maddaloni, as an example of the atrocities committed by the Savoy army in the territories of the former Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.

Knockainey

Knockainey or Knockainy () is a civil parish and village in County Limerick, Ireland. It is in the historical barony of Smallcounty, between the towns of Hospital and Bruff. There are a large number of archaeological sites in the area, including several on Knockainy Hill in the townland of Knockainy West. These remains, which include cursus, cairn, ring fort, standing stone and ring barrow sites, form part of a complex traditionally associated with the sun goddess Áine. A nearby clapper bridge, known as Clochán Áine, is also associated with Áine. Knockainy Castle is a 15th or 16th century tower house, associated by several sources with the O'Grady family, who were stewards to the Earls of Desmond. The former Church of Ireland church in Knockainy, dedicated to Saint John, was built in the 19th century on the site of a much earlier ecclesiastical enclosure. The building's bell tower dates to the 17th century, and there is an O'Grady family plaque dating to the early 16th century. This church was deconsecrated in 1999 and is now used to host events. The local Catholic church, a more modern building, is located to the south. It forms part of the parish of Knockaney and Patrickswell in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cashel and Emly. The local national (primary) school, Knockainey National School or Scoil Náisiúnta Cnoc Áine, had an enrollment of 181 pupils as of January 2024. The local Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) club, Knockainey GAA, won the Limerick Intermediate Hurling Championship in 2001.

Bunker "Krysia"

Bunker "Krysia" was an underground shelter located at Grójecka Street in Warsaw, where dozens of individuals of Jewish nationality hid during the German occupation. Krysia was the largest and longest-standing Jewish hideout "on the Aryan side" of occupied Warsaw. Among those hiding there was the historian Emanuel Ringelblum with his wife and son. In March 1944, the shelter was discovered by Germans and the Blue Police, and the Jews hiding there were murdered. Their fate was shared by the Polish caretakers of the hideout. Origins Bunker "Krysia" was established on the outskirts of Warsaw's Ochota district, on the property located at 81 Grójecka Street, which belonged to the Polish gardener Mieczysław Wolski. Wolski's garden covered an area of ​​over one hectare and occupied a closed area bordered by Grójecka, Wolna Wszechnica, and the eastern part of Opaczewska Street (now Banacha Street). The property included a greenhouse and a two-story house where Mieczysław Wolski lived with his mother Małgorzata, sisters Halina and Wanda, and nephew Janusz Wysocki. In 1942, with her mother's consent, Halina Wolska brought a Jewish girl named Wiśka (a seamstress by profession) to Grójecka Street. She hid in the Wolski family home, where she was treated as a member of the family. Presumably, this selfless assistance provided to the poor Jewish girl, as well as Mieczysław's connections with the Polish Socialist Party, led the Jewish Social Self-Help activists to propose to the Wolski family the idea of ​​creating an underground hideout on their property. After spending nearly a month with the Wolski family, Wiśka moved back to the Warsaw Ghetto, but returned after a few days. A week later, she went back to the ghetto, this time accompanied by Mieczysław Wolski. Two days later, they both returned to Grójecka Street with a plan ready for building the hideout and smuggling refugees. Since digging and arranging the shelter exceeded the capabilities of the Wolski family alone, several young Jews were hired for the construction, who were secretly smuggled to the "Aryan side" of Warsaw for this purpose. Part of the shelter's equipment was also prepared in the ghetto. Until the shelter was completed, the first group of Jews was hidden by the Wolski family in the basement of their house. The playful name "Krysia", derived from the word kryjówka (hideout), was given to the bunker by its caretakers and residents. Caretakers and residents of "Krysia" From 1942 to 1944, ten Jewish families (approximately 40 individuals) hid in the "Krysia" bunker – mostly well-off or from intelligentsia backgrounds. Among the residents of "Krysia" were predominantly young or middle-aged married couples, although there were also elderly individuals, teenagers, and small children. The bunker housed people such as lawyer Tadeusz Klinger, baker Gitter, restaurateur Rawicz, and Dr. Cendrowicz. However, the most famous tenant of "Krysia" was historian Emanuel Ringelblum, who hid there with his wife Judyta and 14-year-old son Uri. During his stay in hiding, Ringelblum wrote several works on the fate of Jews in occupied Poland, including a famous essay on Polish-Jewish relations during World War II. The operation to hide Jews in bunker "Krysia" was the largest rescue operation of its kind in occupied Warsaw. As Jan Grabowski points out:This type of bunker in Warsaw in 1944 was a complete rarity. In literature regarding hiding and rescue, there is no other equally substantial hiding place where the residents managed to survive for so long.Contact with Ringelblum and the other members of the group was maintained by Adolf Berman, a representative of the Jewish National Committee. The costs of maintaining the bunker and its occupants were partially covered by the underground Council to Aid Jews (Żegota), and partially from funds deposited by the hiding Jews with the Wolski family. Each refugee moving into "Krysia" had to deposit 10,000 młynarkis upfront and be prepared to pay regular fees to cover the costs of food and other expenses. Nevertheless, witnesses emphasized the honesty and reliability of the Wolski family. To avoid suspicion that could arise from buying large quantities of food, they even opened a small grocery store. The entire Wolski family took care of the bunker and its residents. The "brains" behind the rescue operation was Mieczysław Wolski, whose age is variously reported as 32 or 37. Wolski was responsible for supplying and securing the shelter and maintained contact with the Polish and Jewish resistance movements. In his essay on Polish-Jewish relations during World War II, Dr. Ringelblum dedicated many warm words to Wolski (in his notes, the gardener is referred to under the pseudonym "Władysław M."). He described him as a man with imagination, good for a drink and a joke, liking risk and gambling just for the sake of it. Ringelblum emphasized that Wolski was heart and soul devoted to his dearest beloved, Mrs. "Krysia". Meanwhile, Orna Jagur recalled that Wolski often visited the bunker, bringing news from the outside world and trying to keep the spirits of its occupants up. Wolski's nephew, the teenage Janusz Wysocki (referred to as "Mr. Mariusz" in Ringelblum's notes), served as a lookout near the hiding place, warning the Jews in hiding if unauthorized persons appeared nearby. In case of danger, he whistled the first bars of a popular song, and later used the same signal to cancel the alert. Upon hearing this warning, the inhabitants of the bunker responded with the command "hide" (kryj się), eventually replaced by the word "Krysia". Wysocki also removed garbage and waste from the hiding place, usually with the help of one of the occupants of "Krysia", a Jewish boy named Szymek. Wanda Wolska was in charge of food and other supplies and helped Janusz with disposing of garbage and waste. Halina Wolska handled correspondence and purchasing goods. 65-year-old Małgorzata Wolska (the matriarch of the family) tried to keep the refugees' spirits up and offered them good advice. She also made efforts to establish contact with their missing or displaced relatives. The other Wolski sisters also became involved in helping the Jews in hiding: Leokadia Borowiakowa, Eugenia Warnocka, and Maria ("Maryna") Czekajewska. Leokadia ran the aforementioned grocery store, while Eugenia assisted Halina with various matters. Maria, a qualified nurse, provided essential medical assistance to the Jews in hiding when needed. The inhabitants of "Krysia" established a committee among themselves, which took turns guarding the entrance or cleaning. An informal leader of the small community was someone known as "Borowski" (real name unknown), who mainly handled accounting and collected orders for provisions. Conditions in the bunker The underground hideout was located in a secluded corner of the Wolski garden, under the greenhouse and a small gardening warehouse. It was shielded by a wall from Grójecka Street, which also separated the Wolski property from a small shallow plot at number 79. One of the walls of the shelter was supported by the foundations of the outbuilding at 77 Grójecka Street, where an inactive cosmetics factory belonging to the French company "Piver" was located. "Krysia" had a rectangular shape with dimensions of approximately 7 meters by 5 meters and an area of about 28 square meters. Rows of beds were placed along both walls, which could accommodate 34 people (the remaining four refugees slept on folding camp beds). Between the beds, there was a row of interconnected wooden tables and long benches. Carbide lamps provided lighting. Behind a partition at the left end of the shelter, there was a small stove. The smoke was vented through a hole in the ceiling. Orna Jagur recalled that the outlet pipe was hidden in dense vegetation for camouflage, while other sources mention that the stove was connected to an unused chimney duct in the adjacent "Piver" building. A covered bucket served as a toilet. Even a tap with running water was installed in the shelter. Compared to other Jewish hideouts in Warsaw, the conditions in "Krysia" could be considered relatively comfortable. However, life in the underground shelter was associated with a number of hardships. It was stuffy and consistently hot, and there was also a bed bug infestation. During the day, the occupants had to maintain absolute silence to avoid attracting the attention of the garden workers. Opening the hatch and letting in fresh air was only possible at night. Only then could the shelter residents also prepare a hot meal or engage in relatively unrestricted conversation. Some breaks in this monotonous existence were provided by small celebrations organized by the Jews and their caretakers on the occasion of "Krysia's" birthday or Christmas. Staying in constant confinement – in constant danger and in the company of the same small group of people – inevitably led to psychological problems and mutual discord. Orna Jagur recalled that the tense atmosphere was often caused by the conflict-prone nature and authoritarian behavior of "Borowski". During their stay in the shelter, a 13-year-old girl named Basia committed suicide. Her body was secretly buried in the garden. The hideout was threatened with exposure several times. Once, a Gestapo agent visited the Wolski house, asking if they were hiding Jews. Mieczysław managed to allay his suspicions at that time. Another time, one of the Polish garden workers began digging clay in the place where Basia's grave was located. However, the most dangerous situation occurred when one of the Jews forgot to close the opening in the greenhouse wall. The next day, a chicken entered the greenhouse through this opening, followed by a Polish female worker. She heard human voices coming from underground and consequently started spreading rumors that the Wolski orangery was haunted by ghosts. Wolski then invited a Blue Police officer to the greenhouse under the pretext of picking mushrooms, which temporarily silenced the rumors. Deconspiration of "Krysia" Course of events On 7 March 1944, German forces, accompanied by Blue Police officers, including officers from the 23rd precinct, invaded the Wolski garden. According to the account of Małgorzata Wolska, as recounted in Orna Jagur's memoirs, they easily – presumably thanks to a tip from an informant – found the hidden shelter under the greenhouse, where 38 Jews were hiding at the time. By firing shots into the air and threatening to introduce poisonous gases into the hideout, they demanded that the inhabitants immediately come out. All Jews complied with the demands except for lawyer Tadeusz Klinger, who committed suicide by taking cyanide. Wolski, severely beaten, managed to convince the Germans that his mother and sisters were unaware of the shelter in the garden. However, he was unable to save his nephew, who was pulled out of the shelter along with the Jews. The emptied shelter was then bombarded with grenades by the Germans. The discovery of "Krysia" was described slightly differently by two officers of the Polish Criminal Police who participated in the action on Grójecka Street. In their post-war testimonies, there is no mention, among other things, of the presence of women from the Wolski family at the time of the police raid on the property. One of the officers' statements also suggests that Janusz Wysocki (referred to as the "gardener's son") was not pulled out of the hideout but, on the contrary, he was to be forced to enter the shelter and convince the Jews that any resistance would be futile. The captured Jews, including Dr. Ringelblum with his wife and son, were taken to the Pawiak prison along with Mieczysław Wolski and Janusz Wysocki. A report later transmitted by the underground cell from Pawiak contained information that the group brought from the shelter on Grójecka Street consisted of 16 men and 24 women. According to Wanda Wolska's account, the Germans brought the severely beaten Mieczysław back to Grójecka Street on the same evening. It was the last time she saw her brother. Probably three days later, the residents and caretakers of "Krysia" were shot in the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto. During the German action, Halina Wolska-Michalecka was also arrested but was released shortly afterward. The movable property belonging to the Wolski family and their wards was confiscated. Reports prepared by Blue Police officers collaborating with the Polish Underground State indicate that on March 7, among other items, furs, jewelry, and four kilograms of gold were found in "Krysia". Some clothes, deemed worthless by the Germans, were looted by residents of neighboring houses. For the next three days, the property was guarded by the Blue Police. The surviving members of the Wolski family faced hostility and ostracism from neighbors. From the group of "Krysia" residents, only Orna Jagur (Irena Grodzińska) and her husband Józef survived, as they had moved out of the bunker several months before its discovery. Perpetrators of the hideout's detection From Jan Grabowski's findings, it appears that the discovery of "Krysia" was part of a large-scale operation aimed at Jewish hideouts on the "Aryan side" of Warsaw, conducted by German security services in the early months of 1944. A specialized section within the Polish Criminal Police, subordinate to the occupiers (Polnische Kriminalpolizei), played a crucial role in this operation, tasked with tracking down hidden Jews. SS-Untersturmführer and police commissioner Werner Balhause, the head of this section, personally participated in the action at Grójecka Street, along with many of his subordinates. It seems likely that the discovery of the hideout was considered a significant success by the German police authorities. On the same day, a request for monetary rewards for fifteen Kripo officers was submitted. The question of who was directly responsible for uncovering "Krysia" has not been definitively resolved. This matter likely did not become the subject of investigation by the structures of the Polish Underground State. The information about the execution of three death sentences by the underground Civil Special Court was published in the Biuletyn Informacyjny on 30 March 1944. One of those executed was Jan Łakiński, convicted of "complicity with the occupying forces in persecuting and tracking down Polish citizens of Jewish origin". It is this man who is identified in many publications as the author of the denunciation that led to the detection of "Krysia". Łakiński (born in 1926) was the son of a pre-war senator, a displaced person from Greater Poland, and at the same time a well-known informant in Ochota. He was shot dead in front of the gate of the house at 1/3 Pługa Streeet by members of the Directorate of Underground Resistance liquidation group led by Stanisław Sękowski, alias "Michał", "Rugia". Some sources indicate that Łakiński was eliminated shortly after the exposure of "Krysia". However, records from the death registry of the parish of St. James clearly indicate that the informant was killed on February 25, eleven days before the discovery of the hideout. According to Dariusz Libionka, this fact automatically eliminates him from the circle of suspects. Libionka also emphasizes that so far, no mentions linking Łakiński to the discovery of "Krysia" have been found in underground press, documents, or correspondence. He also questioned Jan Grabowski's findings that Łakiński was one of the secret collaborators of Balhause's section, suggesting that due to the illegibility of the Polish-Canadian historian's handwriting, he confused him with another person – Kazimierz Lubarski. Three independent sources, uncovered by American historian Samuel D. Kassow, claimed that the hideout was betrayed to the Germans by Mieczysław Wolski's former girlfriend, seeking revenge for the end of their relationship. Kassow also noted that reports of Wolski's romantic involvement and the denunciation by Łakiński may not be mutually exclusive. In his view, the girlfriend could have informed a known informant, such as Łakiński, about the hideout, who then passed on the information to the Germans or the Blue Police. According to Jan Grabowski, it is not implausible that the exposure of "Krysia" was related to the arrest of one of the collaborators of Żegota, Jan Jaworski, which occurred five days earlier. Kripo agents found numerous documents, including a notebook with a list of names, in his possession. Dariusz Libionka points out that reports from the Underground regarding common crime and the activities of the Blue Police, based on information provided by informants within the police ranks, unequivocally suggest that the discovery of "Krysia" was due to an act of betrayal. One report even mentioned that the informant was an unnamed officer of the Blue Police," who became suspicious due to the large food purchases made by the Wolski family. Memory On 27 April 1990, on the wall of the residential building at 77 Grójecka Street, which was constructed after the war near the location of the Wolski garden, a commemorative plaque honoring the residents of "Krysia" and their Polish caretakers was solemnly unveiled. The plaque was made of bronze and designed by Marek Moderau. The inscription engraved on the plaque reads:At this location, there was a dugout where the Wolski family, local gardeners, hid approximately 40 Jews, refugees from the Warsaw Ghetto, between 1942 and 1944, including the renowned historian Dr. Emanuel Ringelblum, a researcher of the history of Polish Jews and the organizer of the secret archive of the Ghetto. In March 1944, after the dugout was discovered, the Nazis murdered all the Jews hiding there as well as their caretakers.On 4 June 1989, five members of the Wolski family – Mieczysław Wolski, Małgorzata Wolska, Halina Wolska-Michalecka, Wanda Wolska-Szandurska, and Janusz Wysocki – were awarded the Righteous Among the Nations medal. The story of the residents and caretakers of the hiding place at Grójecka Street was depicted in the documentary film titled Krysia (written and directed by Wiktor Skrzynecki, produced in 1990). The bunker "Krysia" including the scene of its discovery in March 1944, was featured in the fictionalized documentary film Who Will Write Our History? from 2018 (directed by Roberta Grossman), dedicated to the history of the Ringelblum Archive group. On 9 September 2021, at the initiative of the local Association of Ochota Residents, the Warsaw City Council named the neighborhood green space after the Wolski Family, which currently exists in the place where their house and garden were located during the war.

Additionally, due to this partnership, Fox's rights to the New World Animation were transferred to Saban Entertainment. After Disney's purchase of Fox Kids Worldwide in 2001, the shows moved to the Buena Vista International Television catalogue. Although Disney held some rights to Marvel-related animated series through BVS Entertainment before Disney acquired Marvel Entertainment, copyrights to shows based on Marvel Comics characters were not directly owned by BVS Entertainment. The remaining rights to these Marvel-branded shows were completely transferred to Marvel Entertainment with Disney's acquisition of Marvel in 2009. Disney gained further rights to the New World Animation/Marvel Productions library following its acquisition of 21st Century Fox in 2019. In December 1995, Saban purchased from Vesical Limited ("Vesical") its interest and rights to certain television programming with acquisition of Vesical Limited, a library of international rights to programming originally produced by DIC. The Vesical library includes non-U.S. rights to series such as Inspector Gadget, Heathcliff and Dennis the Menace. These rights were later returned by Disney to DIC Entertainment in 2006. The rights to C&D shows were transferred to Saban Entertainment as a result of Saban Entertainment's French subsidiary, Saban International Paris, purchasing C&D in April 1996 and absorbing the company in 1998. These shows were the shows that Jean Chalopin produced himself and whose ownership remained with Jean Chalopin after a dispute between Andy Heyward and Chalopin. In addition, the adaptation rights to the Italian comic book character and franchise Diabolik were taken over by Saban International Paris after this acquisition.

Library status With a few exceptions, the Fox Kids/Saban Entertainment library (such as Spider-Man, Life with Louie, The Secret Files of the Spy Dogs, Tenko and the Guardians of the Magic, NASCAR Racers, The Tick, Sweet Valley High etc.) is currently owned by The Walt Disney Company through BVS Entertainment. Since SIP Animation has been put into liquidation as of October 2023, BVS Entertainment also owns all remaining assets of the Saban International Paris/SIP Animation catalog (such as Diabolik, Walter Melon, Iznogoud, A.T.O.M., W.I.T.C.H.), and a portion of the Créativité et Développement library (such as Heroes on Hot Wheels, Diplodos etc.) taken over by Saban during the period before Disney took over Saban. IP rights of W.I.T.C.H. are directly owned by Disney as the company was involved in the production itself (not just via Jetix Europe) and published the comic books on which the show was based on. Disney previously licensed A.T.O.M. – Alpha Teens on Machines to independent distributor Multicom Entertainment Group, particularly including digital distribution rights; Multicom's rights have since reverted to Disney. Contrary to popular belief none of the BVS/SIP assets were transferred or folded into The Walt Disney Company France. Except for some definitive titles (such as Susie Q, Au Pair 1 and 2, and Three Days), It is unknown today how much of BVS Entertainment's live-action film rights including the Libra Pictures catalog are owned by Disney, due to numerous co-productions or the transfer of home video/international distribution rights and some copyrights to third parties in the years before Disney acquired Saban Entertainment. Exceptions The Power Rangers franchise and other PR-related shows (VR Troopers, Masked Rider, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation, Big Bad Beetleborgs, and Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog), which were purchased back by Haim Saban from Disney for $43 million on May 12, 2010. The Digimon franchise in the United States was also purchased back by Saban on September 25, 2012. The Power Rangers programs are now owned by Hasbro through Hasbro Entertainment, which acquired the assets of Saban Brands in 2018 (except for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie and Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie, which were acquired by Disney via 20th Century Studios on March 20, 2019), while Digimon has since reverted to Toei Animation Inc. Canadian rights to Breaker High and The New Addams Family are owned by co-producer Shavick Entertainment; the former is available in Canada on Shavick's streaming platform OUT TV. Disney owns the rights to the two programs outside Canada. Disney sold Bobby's World to the series' creator Howie Mandel in 2004. Currently, Splash Entertainment owns the distribution rights to the series under license from him. The shows co-produced with CinéGroupe remain in their catalogue, and are distributed by their partner company HG Distribution. (such as Princess Sissi, The Tofus, Bad Dog and Jim Button) including Wunschpunsch, What's with Andy?, The Kids from Room 402, and the live-action television series Big Wolf on Campus. These series are distributed through CinéGroupe's partner company HG Distribution. Goosebumps is owned by Scholastic Entertainment, with distribution handled by 9 Story Media Group. The international distribution rights to the pre-1990 DIC Enterprises library were re-purchased by DIC in 2006. This library as well as DIC-Saban co-produced The New Archies and DIC-SIP co-produced Gadget & the Gadgetinis via co-producer DIC Entertainment and its ownership of the Inspector Gadget franchise is currently owned by Canadian independent company WildBrain. BVS Entertainment held the distribution rights for some AB Productions-C&D co-produced shows for an indefinite period (such as Sophie and Virginie, The Twins of Destiny, The Adventures of T-Rex, The Bots Master, and Happy Ness: The Secret of the Loch) but the rights to these shows later reverted to AB Productions and are currently owned by Mediawan Thematics. Many of Saban's anime licenses, such as Eagle Riders, Macron 1, Noozles, Flint the Time Detective, The Littl' Bits and Saban's Adventures of Pinocchio, expired in the 2000s. Pigs Next Door was a co-production with Fox Kids, EM.TV and Wavery B.V. Studio 100, which acquired EM.TV's children's library in 2008, owns the U.S. digital rights and some international rights to the series (Europe, China, Australia, New Zealand and Quebec). NBC's Kissyfur and some Classic Media/Harvey Comics properties like Casper: A Spirited Beginning and Casper Meets Wendy are owned by NBCUniversal. Saban sold the rights to the live-action film Round Trip to Heaven to Spectrum Entertainment Group in 1992; it is currently distributed by Invincible Entertainment. References

Weiherfeld-Dammerstock

Weiherfeld-Dammerstock is a southern borough of Karlsruhe. In the north it is bordered by the Südtangente and in the east by Ettlinger Straße. The two districts of Weiherfeld and Dammerstock are separated by the Alb and are only connected by a road bridge and two pedestrian bridges. History Weiherfeld was first mentioned in 1540 as "waldt der weyr gen" and belonged to Rüppurr until 1800 and then to Beiertheim. Until the beginning of the 20th century, there were only meadows and agricultural areas in the area of today's district. The first plans for the construction of Weiherfeld were presented in 1913, but construction could not begin until seven years later. The first apartments were completed in November 1923 and construction was completed in July 1927. Dammerstock was built in just seven months according to the plans of Walter Gropius and was inaugurated on September 29, 1929.

Salusbury Cade

Salusbury Cade (1660? – 22 December 1720) was an English physician. Biography Cade was born in Kent about 1660, was educated as a foundation scholar at Lewisham grammar school. He was of Trinity College, Oxford, and graduated M.D. in 1691, having been admitted a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians three years previously. He was elected a fellow in 1694, and was twice censor. He was appointed physician to St. Bartholomew's Hospital on 14 October 1708, and held the office till his death, on 22 December 1720. He lived at Greenwich till he obtained this appointment, and thenceforward in the Old Bailey. A Latin letter of Cade's, dated 8 September 1716, on the treatment of small-pox, is printed in Robert Freind's folio edition of Dr. John Freind's ‘Works’ (London, 1733). It shows him to have had a large experience of the disease. He makes the interesting observation that he had never known a case of hæmaturia in small-pox survive the sixteenth day from the eruption, and his remarks on treatment are enlightened. His name is met with as giving official sanction to books published during his censorship, and in the ‘Pharmacopœia Pauperum’ of 1718 a prescription of his for a powder to be taken internally for skin diseases is preserved. It was called Pulvis Æthiopicus, and consisted of one part of æthiopic mineral to two of crude antimony.

Icecap Peak

Icecap Peak is a glaciated summit in British Columbia, Canada. Description Icecap Peak is located in the Coast Mountains, west-southwest of Whistler and east-southeast of Amicus Mountain, which is the nearest higher neighbor. Precipitation runoff and glacial meltwater from this mountain drains into tributaries of the Squamish River. Icecap Peak is more notable for its rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation as topographic relief is significant with the summit rising 2,335 metres (7,660 ft) above the Squamish River in . The mountain's toponym was officially adopted June 22, 1967, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada as submitted by Dick Culbert, author of A Climber's Guide to the Coastal Ranges of British Columbia. Climate Based on the Köppen climate classification, Icecap Peak is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall. As a result, the Coast Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports unnamed glaciers surrounding the peak. The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for climbing Icecap Peak.

Clement Carlyon

Clement Carlyon (14 April 1777 – 5 March 1864) was an English physician. Biography Carlyon was born at Truro 14 April 1777, and educated at the grammar school, where Davy and Henry Martyn were among his schoolfellows. Having taken his degree at Pembroke College, Cambridge, he was appointed a travelling bachelor on the Worts foundation, and, proceeding to Germany, formed the acquaintance with Samuel Taylor Coleridge for which, apart from his merely local celebrity, he is now principally remembered. After completing his medical studies at Edinburgh and London, he settled in his native town, where he spent a long life of active beneficence. He was five times mayor of Truro, and was chiefly instrumental in the erection of the handsome memorial to Richard Lander, which is so great an ornament to the town. His autobiography, published under the title of 'Early Years and Late Reflections,' in 4 vols., between 1836 and 1858, is in parts exceedingly tedious, but is valuable for the numerous interesting particulars of Coleridge, Davy, and other men of eminence known to the writer. His 'Observations on the Endemic Typhus Fever of Cornwall' (1827) are esteemed, and effected much good in a sanitary point of view. He edited Luigi Cornaro and Bernard Gilpin, and wrote several tracts on religious subjects. He died on 5 March 1864.

He visited this location several times after Bernadette was reported missing. The police found out that Scott's first call after 12:54 p.m., was to Sarah, which lasted for more than nine minutes. The police concluded that the only reason Scott called Sarah and told that he had killed Bernadette and needed help, to cover up Bernadette's death, making the story about Bernadette got out of the car and ran away. Fake messages In a police interview, Sarah claimed that her daughter continued sended her messages after she disappeared. But the messages that were sent after 18 July turned out to be sent by Sarah. Scott's abuse Bernadette's rucksack was found in the Walton lock-up garage and a diary found inside. In 16 July, Bernadette wrote: “Told my mum about my dad and the abuse. She called me a liar and threatened to kill me if I told the police. What kind of parent wouldn’t believe their daughter?” On 14 September 2020, Scott and Sarah were arrested for murder and perverting the course of justice. Although her body has not been found, police suspect that Bernadette is dead, strangled by Scott. Trial In trial one of Bernadette's friends, Warren Naylor, revealed that Bernadette said to him that she had been sexually abused by her stepfather over a seven-year period. But he had received messages on 19 July from Bernadette's Instagram account saying that she had lied, but Warren suspected that Sarah had the messages. At trial, Scott refused to say the location of Bernadette's body. Judge Justice McGowan said that his refusal to reveal the location of Bernadette's body "means she can't be shown the respect she deserves". She added: "Cruellest of all it's likely to mean some members of her family and friends will go on hoping she might be alive and might someday come back into their lives". In November 2020, due to the Prisoners (Disclosure of Information About Victims) Act 2020, known as "Helen's Law", murderers and paedophiles who held back information on their victims could face longer jail sentences. That law caused Scott unable to get out of prison for hiding the location of Bernadette's body. In 2021, the Cambridge Crown Court found Scott guilty for the murder of Bernadette and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Sarah was sentenced to 6 years for perverting the course of justice in Bernadette's killing case. Aftermath Detective Justine Jenkins said: "We may never know the truth about what Scott did and why, but we do know Bernadette had made allegations of abuse against him". On 22 December 2023, Scott died at HM Prison Full Sutton.

Alfred John Carpenter

Alfred John Carpenter (28 May 1825 – 27 January 1892) was an English physician. Biography Carpenter was the son of John Carpenter, surgeon, was born at Rothwell in Northamptonshire on 28 May 1825. He was educated at the Moulton grammar school in Lincolnshire until he was apprenticed to his father in 1839. He became a pupil of William Percival at the Northampton Infirmary in 1841, and afterwards acted as assistant to John Syer Bristowe, the father of Dr. John Syer Bristowe at Camberwell. He entered St. Thomas's Hospital in 1847, taking the first scholarship, and afterwards gaining the treasurer's gold medal. He was admitted a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England and a licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries in 1851, and after serving the offices of house surgeon and resident accoucheur at St. Thomas's Hospital, he commenced general practice at Croydon in 1852. In 1865 he graduated M.B. and in 1859 M.D. at the London University, and in 1883, when he gave up general for consulting practice, he was admitted a member of the Royal College of Physicians of London. He was lecturer on public health at St. Thomas's Hospital 1875–84, ond in 1881 he was elected a vice-president of the Social Science Association. He stood twice for parliament in the liberal interest—in 1885 for Reigate, and in 1886 for North Bristol, but in each case unsuccessfully. Carpenter rendered important services to the British Medical Association, where he was president of the south-eastern branch in 1872, a member of the council in 1873, president of the council 1878–81, and president of the section of public health at the Worcester meeting in 1882. In 1860 he began to attend the archbishops of Canterbury at Addington, where he was medical adviser in succession to Archbishops Sumner, Longley, Tait, and Benson. He was an examiner at the Society of Apothecaries, and he acted as examiner in public health at the universities of Cambridge and London. He died on 27 January 1892, and is buried in Croydon cemetery. A bust by E. Roscoe Mullins, executed for the Croydon Literary and Scientific Institution, is in the public hall at Croydon. He married, on 22 June 1853, Margaret Jane, eldest daughter of Evan Jones, marshal of the high court of admiralty, by whom he had three sons and one daughter. Dr. Carpenter believed that healthy homes made healthy people, and his life was devoted to the conversion of this belief into practice. His activity extended over the whole range of sanitary science. He felt the deepest interest in the application of sewage to the land, which he held to be the proper way of dealing with it, and as chairman of the Croydon sewage farm he made it a model which was afterwards widely copied. He studied the general sanitary conditions of Croydon with great care, he established baths, and ventilated the sewers. He promoted in every way in his power the Habitual Drunkards Act of 1879; and in 1878, when he was orator of the Medical Society of London, he took 'Alcoholic Drinks' as the subject of his oration. He was for many years chairman of the Whitgift foundation at Croydon. Besides many small works and papers upon sanitary medicine and alcoholic drinks, Carpenter published 'The Principles and Practice of School Hygiene,' London, 1887, 12mo.

High Street (Portland, Maine)

High Street is a downtown street in Portland, Maine, United States. It runs one-way for around , from Commercial Street in the southeast to Forest Avenue in the northwest. It is one of the three main routes crossing the Portland peninsula in this direction, the other two being State Street and Franklin Street. Part of the street passes through the Spring Street Historic District and the city's Arts District. High Street and State Street were converted from two-way traffic in 1972. Route Running one-way for its entire length, High Street begins at Commercial Street, directly opposite Becky's Diner, on a steep incline. The slope is shared with Park Street, on the opposite side of the Irving gas station separating the two. The hill continues until it crests at Congress Street, which in this section is in Congress Square. From there, a steep decline begins to its intersection with Forest Avenue. The street passes through the eastern edge of Deering Oaks Park for its final or so, before it intersects with Forest Avenue. Streetcars of the Portland and Forest Avenue Railroad Company (chartered in 1860) formerly ran along High Street en route to Spring Street and Clark Street.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skidding%20%28forestry%29

Skidding (forestry)

Skidding in forestry is the first operation after logging: it consists of transporting felled trees from the felling site to a temporary dumping site, known technically as a "loader", near a road or track suitable for further transport. This name is still applied to the first emptying of stones in quarries or stone heaps and possibly heavy equipment in mines, to heavy transport operations and cumbersome handling. Ancient skidding method In mining, quarrying, and forestry, skidding mainly concerned the usual transport of felled or cut material (wood, logs, stone) or extracted material (ores), sometimes cut to size (squared ashlar), to the road, track, river or top of the slope which, from the loader or loading point, enabled it to be transported onwards. The skidder is then either a worker or a contractor who, in a quarry or on a cut, carries out the skidding, often on behalf of the owner or purchasing merchant. In the rural and forestry world, the skidder is often an independent farmer who adapts his wagon and carriage to this type of activity in winter, on behalf of a timber merchant. The itinerant galvachers or bouviers-charretiers of the Morvan region, who rented the pulling power of their ox teams, practiced this trade among other rural services, migrating north and west. Forest skidding Forest skidding is based on a multitude of techniques, which are sometimes combined or added to in succession: portage, by laying the trunk on rows of sticks held perpendicular (as in the ritual case of the mat de cocagne) or by the triqueballe; throwing fir trees or limbed trees from the heights, formerly a very rare wild operation across the slopes on specific corridors, and more common on steeply-sloped sunken paths or partly-engineered downhill corridors, to reach the valley or river. The specific localities of this sometimes dangerous activity were called the lançoir(s), jet(s) or get(s). Most of the trunks or logs thrown or tossed were not destined for the sawmill, where they were sawn into boards. In the past, the squaring of timber was done with an axe; dragging on the ground, possibly using draft animals (oxen, horses, buffalo, elephants) or motorized equipment; dragging using adapted bards or sledges, such as schlittes, with use of the slope, installation of paths, and possible animal or motorized traction on the flat; trailering using animal or motorized traction; floating on the river or sea, with possible towing; flotation or floating by means of a pipe (flumes); cable logging; aerial skidding using dirigible balloons (tested and studied several times, but not tested on a large scale), as the spans are small and the evolution results are catastrophic in changing winds; aerial skidding by helicopter in the mountains (in France since 1975). Skidding by dragging and hauling, then by water, was the most common method until the development of railroads. In the 20th century, this method was often replaced by mechanized skidding in forestry operations, which was sometimes considered to be responsible for considerable soil degradation (compaction affecting roots and the circulation of water and nutrients) and environmental damage (noise, pollution from engines, oils, etc., the need for a dense network of roads and tracks, destruction of country lanes and footpaths, etc.). Today skidding by animals (horse, buffalo, elephant) is in line with ecological concerns in that it is more respectful of the soil and uses less fuel. Cable logging limit the impact on the soil, but at a slightly higher cost, except in difficult environments (mountain ranges not easily accessible to machines). The specific case of horse skidding The use of horses in forestry offers numerous advantages, such as soil protection, absence of pollution, and virtually silent operation. Horses can also be used to welcome the local population. The latter creates a social bond with the sponsors and the public, who are more fascinated by the strength of the horse than by the turbulence of forestry machinery. However, this working technique requires much more preparation and maintenance time (feeding, cleaning, trimming, etc.). What's more, a horse may also need medical care, which requires considerable outlay. Finally, the use of a horse results in a much more expensive hourly service (around €60/hour). To work safely the horse must have undergone rigorous training to enable it to work in good conditions. Many service providers prefer to lead their horses with a rope called a "Cordeau", as opposed to long reins called "Guides", which require the use of both hands. To pull logs the horse is fitted with a harness for forestry/agricultural work (made up of lines), a bridle, a pair of guides (or a rope), a collar on the chest and neck, and a spreader bar to hang the wood with a chain consisting of a choke hook at each end. The use of draft horses is much sought-after by owners of wooded parkland, as without the presence of roads allowing access to forests for forestry machinery, the horse can also work in protected areas or areas with fragile soils and plant species (nature parks, Natura 2000 areas, peat bogs, marshy areas, etc.). Horses, faster and more maneuverable, more nervous although sometimes more fragile than the placid and resistant oxen, were very soon appreciated for forest skidding. A powerful, well-trained horse could sometimes accomplish in half a day the task of a pair of oxen harnessed together in a day. It reduces soil compaction and does not require the creation of new tracks or access roads. Contenting itself with passages less than a metre wide, the horse respects fragile soils and works without engine noise or pollution. The horse's performance varies according to the team, the size and shape of the trees to be pulled and the terrain, and it can pull an average maximum cube (in direct drag) of 1m3, 1.5 for two horses, with maximum efficiency at 0.5m3 for a single horse and 0.7m3 for three horses. Performance rises to 2.5m3 if a triqueballe or foretrain is used. This means an average daily dragged volume over 100 m of 18m3 (for an average cubic distance (DCM) of 0.25m3), 25 m³/day for a DCM of 0.5m3, and 18 m³/day for a DCM of 1m3. For a distance of 200 m, these figures fall to 12, 18 and 12 respectively. On easier terrain, the fardier (or trinqueballe; a horse-drawn machine with 2 braked wheels, a drawbar and a winch) enables 2 or 3 horses to lift and pull logs weighing up to 5,000 kg (3 to 4m3). The horse is slower on average, but more efficient for skidding on difficult soils, and less costly (24 euros per hour of service versus 32 euros for the farm tractor (taking into account the cost of purchase and use, wage costs and maintenance and travel costs (identical or close). The tractor remains more profitable for skidding outside the forest itself (on tracks). The horse is more expensive per m³ exported, but it is easier to exploit steep slopes (in the downhill direction), and this extra cost is sometimes entirely offset by the lack of need for infrastructure and by the benefits (wood sold at a much higher price) ofeco-labels such as FSC, which are more easily acquired with this type of skidding. In the Belgian Ardennes (province of Luxembourg), around 90% of the first three clearings in coniferous woodlands are now harvested using horses, which can easily and profitably remove these light woods. With motorized machines equipped with auxiliary motorized cranes, carts or sleds, daily production varies from simple to double (15 to 30 steres/day) depending on the difficulty of the site. The tractor also imposes compartmentalization, which results in a considerable loss of usable surface area and soil degradation, as well as a marked artificialization of forests. Unlike the tractor, the horse is just as much at home in regular forests as in planted forests or protected areas (e.g. for grouse), where it is particularly appreciated. It is also appreciated in cases where the owner applies for an "ecological" forest management label or certification (FSC, for example). It is also effective in assisting the work of river wardens in removing log jams and macro-waste, and in restoring riparian forest. Winter skidding For a long time, harvesting in winter was the preferred option for a variety of reasons. Skidding to rivers was often done in winter on frozen ground. Floating was established in spring, when rivers were swollen withmeltwater, and in summer. This was true in Quebec in the early 20th century: around 1930, the first trucks appeared on building sites, and by 1950, lumber was being trucked on expanding road networks; floating was gradually abandoned; finally, all-season timber harvesting and transportation operations appeared in the decades that followed; winter harvesting and transportation activities remained, almost exclusively concentrated in areas such as thin, hydromorphic soils with low bearing capacity, etc. Timber harvesting in Quebec is now often carried out in summer, with autumn spent building winter roads, and transportation taking place when the structure is sufficiently frozen, at the end of November. Frost can multiply soil bearing capacity by a factor of 8 or 10.

Hannah Arterian

Hannah Arterian (1949–2022) was an American legal administrator, academic, and scholar. She was the first woman to hold the post of Associate Dean at Arizona State University College of Law, and the second woman to act as Dean of Syracuse University College of Law. She also served as Chair of the AccessLex Institute's Board of Directors. Early life and education Hannah Arterian was born in Manhattan and grew up in Prince's Bay in Staten Island. Her parents were of Armenian and Assyrian descent on her father's side and German and English on her mother's. She was the eldest of two sisters. Arterian attended Elmira College, where she was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa and earned a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature. The college awarded her an honorary doctorate in 2009. Arterian attended law school at the University of Iowa. While at University of Iowa College of Law, Arterian was the first woman to hold an editorial position as one of the Iowa Law Review's Notes & Comments Editors. She was also inducted as a member of the Order of the Coif, and graduated with high distinction. She practiced corporate tax law at the white-shoe firm Dewey Ballantine in Manhattan for several years. Academic career Arterian returned to the University of Iowa to teach as a visiting professor. She joined the faculty in 1978, only a few years after the first woman faculty member had ever taught at the college. Arterian went on to teach at the law schools of University of Houston and Arizona State University. She joined the Arizona State University College of Law faculty in 1979 as the only woman professor. Arterian would go on to become its first woman Associate Dean, a post she held for a decade. In 2002, Arterian was hired as Dean of the Syracuse University College of Law, only the second woman to ever hold the post. While Dean, she fundraised for a new building, which was built and opened during her tenure: Dineen Hall opened in 2014. She also established several programs, including the college's Institute for National Security and Counterterrorism (INSCT), the Technology Commercialization Law Program, Institute for the Study of the Judiciary, Politics, and the Media, and the first Veterans Law Clinic in New York State. The latter was at the suggestion of a second year law student, Lt. Thomas Caruso. Lt. Caruso is quoted as saying, "I came to Dean Arterian with a proposal for a veterans legal clinic. She easily could have dismissed it as a pie in the sky idea from a young student. She didn't. She not only gave the idea a chance, she made it possible." She stepped down from her post in 2015. In 2014, Arterian was elected as Chair of Board of Directors for AccessLex Institute (then Access Group), a nonprofit organization composed of representatives from American Bar Association-accredited institutions that focused on education financing and debt management for law students. In 2022, AccessLex created the Hannah R. Arterian Memorial Scholarship, which provides a first year law student with $50,000 toward their tuition. Prior to her successes as a legal administrator, Arterian's scholarship specialized in employment law. One much-read article focused on Title VII and the dangers of chemical toxins for pregnant workers.

William Lambdin Prather

William Lambdin Prather (May 1, 1848 – July 24, 1905) was an American lawyer. He served as the third president of the University of Texas at Austin and as a member of the university's board of regents. Prather was born near Paris, Tennessee, in 1848, and moved to Texas with his family in 1854. He attended Washington and Lee University from 1867 to 1871, earning a Bachelor of Laws degree. He studied under Robert E. Lee during his time there and was a pallbearer at Lee's funeral in 1870. Prather was admitted to the bar in 1871 and practiced law in Waco, Texas, until 1899, serving as the city attorney from 1875 to 1878 and as the president of the state bar association from 1895 to 1896. In 1887, Prather was appointed as a regent of the University of Texas. He became vice chairman of the board of regents in 1895 and chairman in 1899. That same year, he was named as the university's third president and its first president from Texas; he held the position until his death. While president, he served terms as vice president of the National Educational Association and vice president of the National Association of State Universities. Prather introduced the phrase "the eyes of Texas are upon you" when speaking to students, an expression that was once credited to a similar expression by Lee but now believed to be inspired by a quote from Confederate general John Gregg. The words were incorporated into the school's song, "The Eyes of Texas", in 1903. Prather married Frances H. Kirkpatrick in 1875; they had two sons and three daughters. He received honorary law degrees from Washington and Lee in 1900 and from the University of Pennsylvania in 1901. He died in Austin, Texas, in 1905 from heart disease.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichenomphalia%20velutina

Lichenomphalia velutina

Lichenomphalia velutina is a species of basidiolichen in the family Hygrophoraceae. It was first formally described in 1886 by the French mycologist Lucien Quélet, who classified it in the genus Omphalia. It was transferred to its current genus, Lichenomphalia, in 2002. Known primarily as having a European and North American distribution, the fungus was recorded from China (and Asia) for the first time in 2018. Chinese collections occur at elevations greater than , while those in Europe tend to be at elevations under . Lichenomphalia velutina also occurs in Greenland. It grows on soil and on moss. Description The thallus of Lichenomphalia velutina is subtle and resembles the Botrydina type; it is made up of globules that can be either dispersed or clustered, ranging in diameter from 35 to 90 µm. These globules turn translucent when wet and vary in colour from yellow-green to dark green. They are formed from clusters of single-celled green algae, known as Coccomyxa, surrounded by clear fungal threads (hyphae) which are 1–5 µm wide and do not have clamp connections. The basidiomata (fruiting body) of this species is mushroom-like, with a cap (pileus) that is 4–12 mm in diameter, varying in colour from grey-brown to dark brown. The cap is typically convex, with a depression in the centre, and may have a slightly wavy and streaked edge. It is smooth or somewhat fibrous and contains gills (lamellae) that are spaced apart, broad, and run down the stipe (decurrent), matching the cap in colour or slightly lighter. The flesh of the cap is thick and brittle, with interwoven hyphae that have a unique 'zebroid' (zebra-like) brown pattern. The cylindrical stipe ranges from 0.5 to 1.5 cm in height, matches the cap in colour or is lighter towards the base, and has a fuzzy appearance with a white fungal patch at its base. The reproductive structures include basidia, which are 14–25 by 4–8.5 µm in size and contain either four or occasionally two spores. The basidiospores are 6–9 by 4–6 µm, elliptical to almost round, clear, non-amyloid, and may contain oil droplets. Chemically, Lichenomphalia velutina does not react to standard lichen spot tests, indicating the absence of certain secondary metabolites in both the thallus and the basidiomata. The species lacks cystidia and clamp connections.

Othowell Meverall

Othowell Meverall (1585 – 13 July 1648) was an English physician. Biography Meverall was born in 1585 in Derbyshire, and after education at home became a member of Christ's College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. In 1608, while living in that college, he had an illness, probably smallpox. The method of treatment then adopted included the closing of all apertures of the sick room, and often resulted in the partial asphyxiation of the patient when almost convalescent. He became insensible and was supposed to be dead. The preparations for his burial by exposing him to fresh air revived him, and he was thus restored to life after a narrow escape from being buried alive. He went to Leyden, and there graduated M.D. on 2 October 1613. On this degree he was incorporated at Cambridge 15 March 1616. He settled in practice in the city of London, and was elected a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians 21 April 1618. He was censor for eight years between 1624 and 1640, was registrar 1639–40, and president 1641–4. His graduation thesis at Leyden is extant in manuscript (information from Dr. Munk), as are the notes of the anatomy lectures which he read at the College of Physicians in November 1628 (Sloane MS. 2614 A). On 28 December 1637 (Young, Annals of Barber-Surgeons, p. 367) it was resolved by the court of assistants of the Barber-Surgeons Company that ‘Dr. Meverell shalbe Reader of our anatomical lectures at the next publique discection to be held in the new erected Theater;’ and 8 November 1638, ‘that there shalbe presented as the guift of this Compaine to Mr. Doctor Meverell a peece of plate with the Compaines scutchion ingraven thereon for his paynes in readeing at our last publiqe anatomye in the new Theater before the Lords of his Majesties most honourable privye Councell and others, spectators in the time of those 3 dayes readeings.’ The lectures began with a prayer (Sloane MS. 2614 A), beginning, ‘Deo autem optimo et maximo æternas agamus gratias.’ Then followed an introduction in Latin, then the dissection was carried out under the lecturer's direction, and with his explanations, and at the end he again gave a short address. Its last words were ‘vos autem gratias agite chirurgiæ proceribus et anatomiæ magistris his quia dextri et artificiose putridum hoc cadaver dissecaverunt.’ In his pocket notebook (ib.) he has written below, ‘Sic perorabam in theatro anatomico chirurgorum, Londin: 13 April 1638.’ He resigned the office at the end of that year. His notebooks show that he was well read in Cicero, and what might not have been expected of a Ciceronian and Grecian he quotes Rhazes as well as Hippocrates and Galen. Some few notes of cases, general notes on diseases, and numerous prescriptions are contained in his notebooks, as well as a rhythmical declamation in Latin on ‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.’ He died 13 July 1648, and was buried in the church of St. Lawrence Jewry. He left 40l. to the College of Physicians, and to several of the fellows a gold ring with the inscription, ‘Medici morimur, medicina perennis.’ He is to be distinguished from Dr. Andrew Meverell of Trinity College, Cambridge, elected a fellow of the College of Physicians in December 1664, to whom John Pechey's ‘Observations on the Therapeutic Value of the Byzantine Cockroach’ are addressed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvatia%20pachyderma

Calvatia pachyderma

Calvatia pachyderma, also known as the elephant-skin puffball or thick-skinned puffball, is a species of edible fungus. The appropriate binomial name, taxonomic placement, and geographic distribution "have been much debated and are the subject of controversy". History According to some sources, Calvatia pachyderma and Gastropila fragilis are synonymous, which was argued as early as 1915 Curtis Gates Lloyd but specifically debunked by María H. Homrich and Jorge Eduardo Wright in 1974. Mycobank currently holds that Calvatia pilula (Kreisel, 1992)not C. pachydermais a synonym of G. fragilis. Further complicating matters, Lloyd (followed by others) claimed that Andrew Price Morgan's 1890 species description was not, in fact, the same as described by Peck, but rather Morgan was describing Calvatia polygonia. C. pachyderma This puffball was described as Lycoperdon pachydermum by Charles Horton Peck in 1882 from a type specimen collected in Arizona by C. G. Pringle. The species name "pachy-derm" means "thick skin", same as the obsolete order of mammals, Pachydermata, which included elephants and hippos. In 1992, German mycologist Hanns Kreisel placed it in genus Calvatia sect. Gastropila, along with Calvatia pilula. According to Kreisel, both C. pachyderma and C. pilula are characterized by "Endoperidium thick, spongy; exoperidium thin, smooth. Capillitium with small pits. Subgleba none. Mature gleba olivaceous to brown." G. fragilis Gastropila fragilis was first described by French mycologist Joseph-Henri Léveillé as Mycenastrum fragile in 1844. Léveillé's M. fragile had several intermediate taxonomic placements before María H. Homrich and Jorge E. Wright assigned it the genus Gastropila in 1973. Habitat and geographic distribution According to Kreisel, "Most species of Calvatia live in dry or mesophilic grassland, in arctic-alpine meadows, or in semi-desertic vegetation, some in gardens and cultivated soils. Only a few species occur in forests and other shady places." According to American mycologist David Arora, C. pachyderma is often found in "open, cultivated, and arid places". The thick-skinned puffball is primarily a spring mushroom (in the Northern Hemisphere), but also can be found at the beginning of the rainy season in the fall. It may appear as a one-off or in small groupings, sometimes in fairy rings. This puffball, and/or its almost indistinguishably similar close cousins, often grows in or near grass and/or along compacted trails. C. pachyderma is locally and/or seasonally common in coastal California and the lower elevations of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Similar mushrooms that are contended, in some papers, and disputed in others, to be the same species, have been found in "high altitudes of Iran and Nepal," South Africa, Russia, Bulgaria, Turkmenistan, Chile, et al. Description In 1882, Charles Horton Peck described this species as "Subglobose, four to six inches in diameter, the radicating base somewhat pointed, the external peridium thin, smooth, whitish, the upper part cracking into small angular persistent spot-like scales or areas, the inner peridium thick, sub corky, somewhat brittle, the upper part at length breaking up into irregular fragments; capillitium and spores ochraceous-brown, the filaments long, flexuous, somewhat branched, .0003 of an inch spores subglobose or broadly elliptical, .0002-.00025 of an inch long. Arizona, June. Pringle. This is a singular species of Lycoperdon, belonging to the section Bovistoides, but having the peridium of unusual thickness. It is also apparently destitute of any cellular base, in which respect it approaches the genus Bovista, but the character of the threads of the capillitium points to Lycoperdon as its proper genus." Size, shape, and color The thick-skinned puffball sometimes known as Calvatia pachyderma is a mid-size puffball, with specimens usually measuring between in diameter with a "very thick" outer wall. This puffball is not always spherical and tends to be wider than taller, and is sometimes shaped like a turnip, with tiny "rootlets" (actually mycelium) connecting it to the substrate. Initially white or whitish, as it expands it can become various shades of gray or brown and develop a texture described as "scaly or more often like cracked mud." As it moves past the edible stage toward the inedible spore-dispersing brown-dust explosion stage, the exterior skin (peridium) may begin to spontaneously peel back, sometimes ultimately fracturing in a way that superficially resembles an earthstar and that may leave behind a "shallow cup-shaped base". Peridium and gleba The "skin" of a puffball is called the peridium; the "flesh" is called the gleba. One review of North American gasteromycetes described C. pachyderma as having "Peridium single, or at least not separable into two distinct layers, thick; gleba bright olivaceous." Spores The spores of this fungus are described as ochraceous-brown or "soft, yellowish, golden brown to dark olive-brown".

John Pechey

John Pechey (1655–1716) was an English medical writer. Biography Pechey, whose name is also spelt Peachey and Peche, was son of William Pechey of Chichester, and was born in 1655. He entered at New Inn Hall, Oxford, in 1671, and graduated B.A. in 1675, M.A. in 1678. On 7 November 1684 he applied for admission as a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians in London; his application was further considered on 5 December, and he was admitted on 22 December 1684. He practised in the city of London, residing at the Angel and Crown in Basing Lane. His methods were those of an apothecary rather than of a physician, and on 15 November 1688 he was summoned before the College of Physicians ‘upon printing bills signifying his removal and shilling fee, and putting up a board of notice to the people with his name over his dore.’ He was admonished, but on 7 December 1688, the board remaining over his door as formerly, and he not having ceased ‘spargere cartulas,’ the censors fined him 4l. On 4 January he declined to pay, and on 17 January 1689 he had no further excuse than that ‘other have broake our statutes besides’ himself, and was fined 8l. for his second contempt. On 30 July 1689 he took the oaths and declaration, and his autograph signature remains in the original record at the College of Physicians as ‘Joh. Peachey.’ In 1692 he published two books, ‘Collections of Acute Diseases, in five parts,’ and ‘A Collection of Chronical Diseases.’ The first treats of smallpox, measles, plague, and other febrile disorders, of rheumatism, apoplexy, and lethargy; and the second, of colic, hysteria, gout, and hæmaturia. He published in 1693 ‘Promptuarium Praxeos Medicæ,’ in Latin—a compendium of medicine with many prescriptions given in full. The book ends with an admonition or puff of ‘Pilulæ catharticæ nostræ,’ which ‘venales prostant’ at his own house in Basing Lane. He next published ‘The Compleat Herbal of Physical Plants’ and ‘The Storehouse of Physical Practice.’ Another edition of the former appeared in 1707, and of the latter, with slightly altered title, in 1697. In 1696 he published ‘A General Treatise of the Diseases of Maids, Big-bellied Women, Childbed Women, and Widows’—a compilation without any original observations. All these were brought out by his original publisher, Henry Bonwicke, and slightly varied parts of some of them appeared as separate works. In the same year he published the book by which he is best known—a vigorous and idiomatic translation of ‘the whole works’ of Sydenham. The preface, which contains a short account of Sydenham, is dated from the Angel and Crown in Basing Lane, 12 Oct. 1695, and on the last page is an advertisement of Pechey's pills, sold at his house at 1s. 6d. the box. A seventh edition of this translation appeared in 1717, and an eleventh in 1740. Pechey moved into Bow Lane, Cheapside, near his former house, and the last list, at the College of Physicians, in which his name appears is that of 1716. He has often been confused with John Peachi or Pechey, who was a doctor of medicine of Caen in Normandy, and was admitted an extra-licentiate of the College of Physicians on 26 July 1683 (original record at College of Physicians). This physician is stated in a manuscript note on the title-page of a pamphlet in the library of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society to be the ‘doctor of physick in Gloucestershire’ who wrote ‘Some Observations made upon the Root called Casmunar,’ reprinted in London in 1693. Several other pharmacological tracts are attributed to him without satisfactory proof, and many of them contain internal evidence of another authorship. That he practised outside London is certain, as his name never appears in the College of Physicians' lists, in which at that time extra-licentiates were not included (Manuscript Annals or Minutes of Proceedings at the College of Physicians, 1683–9).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelandoperla

Zelandoperla

Zelandoperla is a genus of ‘long-tailed’ stoneflies endemic to New Zealand, placed within Southern Hemisphere family Gripopterygidae. Zelandoperla species occur in high-gradient, stoney streams throughout New Zealand, where they feed predominantly on biofilms. The currently recognised species are: Zelandoperla agnetis (McLellan 1967) Zelandoperla decorata (Tillyard 1923) Zelandoperla denticulata (McLellan 1967) Zelandoperla fenestrata (Tillyard 1923) Zelandoperla maungatuaensis (Foster, McCulloch & Waters 2019) Two additional described species (Zelandoperla pennulata; Zelandoperla tillyardi) are now considered to be ecotypes of the polymorphic Z. fenestrata.

Sunny Jim's Sea Cave

Sunny Jim's Sea Cave is a cave in the La Jolla community of San Diego, California. It is a popular tourist attraction in the area for its resemblance to the British cereal mascot Sunny Jim. The Cave Store, a gift shop above the cave, offers access to it for a fee. It is also the only underwater cave that can be accessed through land in California. History In 1902, German entrepreneur Gustav Schultz hired two Chinese laborers to dig out a tunnel from the gift shop, then Schultz's residence, to the caves below, one of which being Sunny Jim's Sea Cave. Schultz believed that tourists who wanted to access the sea caves below would pay money to use the tunnel. The laborers took two years to dig the entire area out only using a shovel and pickaxe. Schultz began to hold tours in 1905. Originally, the cave was accessed through a rope, but a staircase was created not long after. L. Frank Baum, the author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, gave the cave its name. The cave was rumored to be used to transport whiskey illegally into San Diego during the Prohibition era. Bootleggers additionally used the area to transfer opium. The cave may have been also used to smuggle immigrants into the U.S. Jim Allen bought the store in 1994. Before the acquisition, the business mostly made money only from selling seashells. The Cave Store The Cave Store was originally the residence of Gustav Schultz. It offers 15 to 20-minute-long group tours to the cave through a 145-step staircase. 90% of the store's revenue comes from entrance fees for the cave. California sea lions can be occasionally heard from the cave. It is possible to access the cave from the ocean, although the store prohibits people from entering the ocean from the viewing platform that visitors reach at the end of the staircase.

Overcome (Nothing But Thieves song)

"Overcome" is a song recorded by British alternative rock band Nothing but Thieves from their fourth studio album, Dead Club City (2023). The song was released by Sony UK on 10 May 2023, as the second single off the album. It peaked at number 6 on the Dutch Top 40, number 25 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, number 36 on the UK Singles Sales Chart and number 44 in the Ultratop 50. It was later voted as Record of the Year 2023 by Radio X listeners. Background In a press release, the band depicted the feeling of "Overcome" akin to the journey of a road trip, as a "throw your stuff in a bag and get away" song, and that "Dead Club City (the city) would definitely feel enticing for someone like that". Continuing on, the band described the song's overall role within the rest of the album, with it being the main motive for the fictional characters within the DCC world to move to the city itself; and therefore "having a song on the album that would describe why someone would want change" felt like the right decision for the band. Music video The official music video for "Overcome" was released onto YouTube on 11 May 2023, directed by Teeeezy C.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rau%20%28surname%29

Rau (surname)

Rau is a surname with several origins. An early form was a nickname for a hairy person, from the Middle High German rūch, rūhe, rouch, meaning hairy, shaggy, or rough. As a surname, it was first found among notable families in Saxony in the 13th century. In medieval England, it was a variant of the given name Ralph. This derived from the Old Norse personal name "Radulfr", composed of the Germanic elements rad (meaning counsel or advice), and wolf (wolf). The name became popular after the Norman Conquest of 1066, when the Normans introduced the Old French form, "Raoul", as well as the Norman "Radulf" and "Raulf". The variant form "Rau" was reintroduced into England by French Huguenot refugees in the late 16th century. In Sicily, Italy, it was a variant of the given name Rao. In France, it was a variant form of the surname Rheault, of French or Breton origin. People People with the surname include: Alan S. Rau, American lawyer B. N. Rau (1887–1953), Indian civil servant, co-drafter of the constitutions of India and Burma Christian Rau (known by the latinisation "Ravis"), 17th century German orientalist Cornelia Rau, unlawfully detained immigrant to Australia Doug Rau (born 1948), American baseball player Gretchen Rau (1939–2006), American film set decorator Heinrich Rau (1899–1961), East German statesman Ines Rau (born 1990), French model, first openly transgender Playmate of the Month John Rau (born 1959), Australian barrister and politician Johannes Rau (1931–2006), President of Germany, 1999–2004 K.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zelandoperla%20fenestrata

Zelandoperla fenestrata

Zelandoperla fenestrata is a widespread endemic New Zealand ‘long-tailed’ stonefly that is often abundant in high-gradient stony streams, from near sea-level up to alpine elevations. This species is highly polymorphic in terms of wing length, with numerous wing-reduced, flightless populations found at high elevations above the alpine treeline. While wing-reduced forms of Z. fenestrata were previously considered to be a distinct species (Z. pennulata), recent genomic research indicates that flightless ecotypes have evolved independently and repeatedly across distinct upland regions of southern New Zealand. Full-winged and vestigial-winged ecotypes within this complex can sometimes be found together in sympatry, and can be either fully interbreeding or reproductively isolated. Zelandoperla fenestrata also exhibits a striking colour polymorphism, with highly melanic specimens closely mimicking the warning colouration of the co-distributed but unrelated toxic black stonefly Austroperla. Melanic Zelandoperla specimens were previously considered to represent a distinct species (Z. tillyardi) but recent genomic analyses indicate that melanic and non-melanic ecotypes are fully interbreeding and thus conspecific.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristide%20Delannoy

Aristide Delannoy

Aristide Delannoy (30 July 1874 - 5 May 1911) was a French painter, newspaper cartoonist, caricaturist, and anarchist. Biography Delannoy was born in Béthune, France, to a family of watch sellers of modest means. From the age of 15, although "deaf as a stone", he was corporal of his school regiment (:fr:Bataillon scolaire). Passionate about painting, he took drawing and painting classes from Pharaon de Winter at the École des beaux-arts de Lille, then, in 1897, classes at the École des beaux-arts de Paris before exhibiting at the Salon des indépendants from 1902. Painting did not allow him to support his family, so he turned to drawing for newspapers. An anarchist, he published in L'Assiette au beurre from 1901, then collaborated with many anarchist and anti-militarist publications, among them Les Temps nouveaux, La Guerre sociale and Les Hommes du jour, for which he designed nearly 150 covers. Les Hommes du jour Delannoy drew Georges Clemenceau as a skull for the first edition of Hommes du jour in January 1908, following the bloody repression of the Draveil quarry workers' movement. Victor Méric wrote in the edition of Hommes du jour dedicated to Delannoy: "We were quite worried. We needed, for the first issue intended for the 'Top Cop' Clemenceau, a vigorous, acerbic, biting drawing. I had done everything possible for the text. When Delannoy, a few days later, returned with his sketch and showed us the famous skull, we jumped for joy. With a similar illustration, the issue was sure to be a success. It was a triumph. Clemenceau's Maw had a run of 25,000 and sold like hot cakes." Trial, fine, imprisonment On 26 September 1908, he and Victor Méric were condemned to a year of prison and a 3000-franc fine, a considerable sum at the time, for having drawn General Albert d'Amade, who had become "decorated" in Morocco, as a butcher with a bloodstained apron. Fifteen people, among them Octave Mirbeau, Anatole France and Lucien Descaves, testified during the trial. The two men were incarcerated at La Santé Prison. His colleagues supported him in a special issue of L'Assiette au beurre on 8 May entitled "Artists are people who...". Suffering from tuberculosis, Delannoy was released early, on 21 June 1909. The arrest caused a great chill in the cartooning world, with some no longer signing their work with their real names. In fact, a law even more restrictive on the freedom of the press was in the works. In February 1910, he was a co-signer of the manifesto of the "Revolutionary anti-parliamentary committee" initiated by Jules Grandjouan. Death His tuberculosis worsened, and he was admitted to the sanatorium in Saint-Raphaël at the beginning of 1911. He returned to Paris in April and died the following month, leaving a widow and a young daughter.

"Austin" is a song by American singer Dasha, released through Version III as a single on November 27, 2023, from her 2024 EP What Happens Now? Dasha co-wrote the song, which went viral on TikTok and became her first single to chart, debuting on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 74 in March 2024. Background and composition "Austin" came together after Dasha and her co-writers were working on a song titled "Play Dumb" about "knowing you're getting cheated on", which Dasha could not relate to. It was abandoned and the perspective of a "scorned woman" from that song was then used and turned into "something really boot-clappy and fun and kind of badass" for "Austin". It was described as a "catchy ode to a lover who just won't commit". Release The song went viral on TikTok, which was amplified after Dasha posted a video of herself line dancing to the song, leading to it being used in over 300,000 videos on the platform.

Amicus Mountain

Amicus Mountain is a glaciated summit in British Columbia, Canada. Description Amicus Mountain is located in the Coast Mountains, west-southwest of Whistler and west-northwest of Icecap Peak, which is the nearest neighbor. Precipitation runoff and glacial meltwater from this mountain drains into tributaries of the Squamish River. Amicus Mountain is more notable for its rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation as topographic relief is significant with the summit rising 2,410 metres (7,907 ft) above the Squamish River in and 1,960 metres (6,430 ft) above Ashlu Creek in . "Amicus" is the Latin word for "friend." The mountain's toponym has not been officially adopted by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Climate Based on the Köppen climate classification, Amicus Mountain is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall. As a result, the Coast Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports unnamed glaciers surrounding the peak. The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for climbing Amicus Mountain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose%20Celli

Rose Celli

Rose Angéline Alexandrine Celli (; 1895–1982) was a French novelist, playwright, translator and poet. She wrote children's books, poetry and novels for adults, and is best known for her children's books published as part of the series. Early life and education Celli was born in Philippeville, Algeria, in March 1985. Her father was of Alsatian heritage and her mother was Corsican. She spent four years at secondary school in Philippeville, after which she moved to France and attended a preparatory course at a high school in Versailles. She subsequently entered the École normale supérieure de jeunes filles, intending to become a teacher. She was a classmate of Suzanne Febvre, the wife of Lucien Febvre. Celli did not graduate, however, due to a disagreement with the school's administration. She was later paid to undertake copy-editing of Lucien Febvre's Encyclopédie française. Around the time of leaving the École she married the painter Elmiro Celli (1870–1958). Literary career In 1929 Celli received the Prix de la Liberté literary award for her fantasy story Le Bateau de Pierre. She had entered this competition on the encouragement of a fellow student at the École. Her first novel, Comme l'eau, was published by Editions du Tambourin in 1930, and it was followed by the collection of short stories published by Flammarion in 1931, Le chale indien. A copy of the latter is held in the Princeton University Rare Books Collection, and is hand-dedicated to Sylvia Beach. She also wrote poetry; some of her poems were published in the magazine Europe. In 1932 she was one of the first authors to contribute to the children's book series, published by Flammarion. Her works for this series included animal stories, a version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, and a story about Baba Yaga, illustrated by Nathalie Parain. Baba Yaga was translated into English and published in the United States in 1935. Also in 1932, Celli's first play, L'enfant Voilé premiered at the Albert Theatre in Paris, in three acts. It was performed by the theatre group L'Exposition d'Art Dramatique A review in La Liberté newspaper described it as similar in style to the work of Henrik Ibsen. In 1933 Celli received the Prix Minerva award for her novel Isola, a historical work set in the Corsican mountains. The award came with a prize of 5,000 francs. Her 1935 book L'envers du tapis featured stories of her childhood growing up in Algeria. In later years, Celli translated a number of English works into French under the name R Brua, including a translation of Not So Quiet by Evadne Price (written as Helen Zenna Smith) and The Fun of It by Amelia Earhart. Celli died in 1982 in Saint Paul de Vence.

Some J.League (and JFL in a smaller amount) club academies did not participate in the tournament as their youth teams were not well developed. As youth teams continued to show progress and development, it led to all clubs that were J.League members on 2012 having their youth team participating on it. During the pandemic, the J.Youth Cup was not officially held. From 2021 to 2023, the J.Youth Cup became the J.Youth League, with the teams split into different groups. However, at each competition there were no official champions or even a knockout stage. On 2024, the tournament was reintroduced as the J.Youth Cup, being played in a cup format, with group and knockout stage, featuring all 60 J.League clubs' youth teams and 4 other nominated JCY-affiliated teams.

2024 Queensland Reds season

The 2024 Queensland Reds season is the 28th and current Queensland Reds season in the Super Rugby since entering the professional era in 1996. In addition to the domestic competition (Super Rugby Pacific) played across the Tasman and the Pacific, the Reds will also host Wales on their tour of Australia following the conclusion of the season. Squad and personnel Coaching personnel Following the resignation of former Reds coach Brad Thorn at the end of the 2023 season, the Queensland Rugby Union (QRU) unveiled Queenslander Les Kiss as coach of the team just later. It was believed in June that the QRU had interest in a number of coaches with significant experience domestically and internationally. One such coach was The Sydney Morning Herald-endorsed candidate Argentina head coach (2022–2023) and former Australia coach (2014–2019) Michael Cheika. Cheika's duties with Argentina were to end following the 2023 Rugby World Cup, making him available before the 2024 season. Cheika had previously won the Super Rugby with the New South Wales Waratahs in 2014 before becoming coach of Australia. His The other two speculated interests of the QRU were London Irish coach Les Kiss and the former Wallabies Director of Rugby Scott Johnson. With reporting in early July pointing to Kiss being the favourite candidate, it wasn't until late July that Kiss was confirmed as the new head coach. Kiss was selected over forty-plus prospective coaches, which included former Wallaby and Tonga coach (2016–2023) Toutai Kefu, former New Zealand assistant coach (2020–2022) Brad Mooar, former Australia defence coach and Australia U20 coach Nathan Grey, and Queensland Reds assistant under Thorn Mick Heenan.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honai

Honai

Honai or onai is a traditional house of the people of the Central Papua and Highland Papua, particularly the Dani. Honai is a simple, round-shaped structure with small doors and no windows. There are also rectangular-shaped houses known as Ebe'ai (Female Honai). The height of the house is about 2.5 meters, and divided into two parts: the lower floor and the upper floor. The lower floor is usually used for sleeping, while the upper floor is used for daily activities such as eating, relaxing, and crafting. In the middle of the lower floor, there is a hipere (hearth) used for cooking or warming the body. Honai has a small structure that intends to provide warmth and ease its owners to move around. There are three types of honai: honai (for males), ebai (for females), and wamai (for animals). These three names originate from the base word "ai," which means house. Honai comes from the combination of the words "hun/hon," meaning male, ebai comes from the word ebe meaning female, and wamai comes from the word wam, meaning pig. History In the past, Dani people did not live in residential houses but sought shelter under large trees. However, seeking shelter under large trees made them cold when it rained, especially if there was strong wind. One day, the Dani tribe observed birds making nests. These birds gathered branches and dry grasses and shaped them into a round form. From this observation, the Dani tribe was inspired to construct honai for their house. Functions and philosophy Apart from being a residence, honai has several functions and philosophies. Firstly, honai serves as a place to store weapons and ancestral equipment. Additionally, in the honai, young boys are taught about war strategies. Secondly, the honai house is used as a storage space for tubers and agricultural produce. There are also honais designated for smoking mummies, which can be found in the Aikima in the Baliem Valley. The philosophies contained within the honai are as follows: Teaching strong unity and solidarity values among tribal members and preserving the cultural heritage inherited from ancestors. By living in a honai, the inhabitants will have one heart, one mind, and one purpose in finishing tasks. It is reflected from the inception of the honai when someone wants to build it, they will call their family to help build the house and then have a meal together. Materials Here are the materials needed to make a honai: Chopped boards. Those are boards that have pointed ends like spears. These pointed ends facilitate the process of nailing the boards into the ground. Later, these boards become the walls of the honai. Wooden beams. It serves as the main pillars supporting the roof of the honai. Fruitwood is used as the roof covering for the honai. Lokap/pinde, a small bamboo, is used for the floor. Cogongrass for honai's roof. Rattan rope or tree roots are used as bindings. In the past, honai did not use nails, but now some houses do. Some changes have also occurred in honai houses. For example, honai now uses windows to improve air circulation. Furthermore, there are honai houses that use zinc for the roof.

Oy Vershe Miy, Vershe

Oy Vershe Miy, Vershe (, ) — a Lemko folk song. It is one of the most popular Lemko songs, holding a special place among the most performed Ukrainian songs. The song belongs to the category of family and wedding songs. It narrates the tale of a young woman who falls in love and marries a man. However, she feels a sense of longing, anticipating that life in a new home and marriage will not be as comforting as it was with her mother. Following the expulsion of the Lemko people from their historical homeland as a result of the so-called "freewill" deportation from Poland to the USSR (1944–1946) and the ethnic cleansing of "Operation Vistula" (1947), the song "Vershe Miy, Vershe" became a symbol of the people's yearning for their lost homeland. For many Lemkos, the victory of Crimean Tatar singer Jamala with this song at the "New Wave" competition held a particular significance. Recording and performance history Early history The first known printed mention of the song appears in the collection "Hungarian-Russian folk songs: with an essay on the life of Hungarian Russians and an ethnographic map of Hungary", published by in 1885. The collection included the following text of the song: In monograph "On the Dialect of Galician Lemkos" () (1902), several variants of this song are presented. The first audio recording of the song was made by on a wax phonograph cylinder in 1912. The recording was made in Lemkivshchyna in the village of Ropica Gоrna (formerly Ropica Ruska), now Gorlice County, Lesser Poland Voivodeship, Poland. Phono cylinder No. 445, lasting 2 minutes 35 seconds, contained four songs: "Eey Bozhe Bozhe Nych Ne Mame" («Ей Боже Боже нич не маме» "Oh God, God, We Have Nothing"), "Eey Yak ot Tale Pidu" («Ей як от тале піду» "Hey, How I'll Go"), "A Vershe Miy Vershe" (Ah, Mountain My Mountain), and "Nasha Khata Bilena" («Наша хата білена» "Our House is Whitewashed"). On this recording, the song "A Vershe Miy Vershe" had two verses and was in a rather lively tempo. In 1928, a 78 rpm record was released in New York City on the Columbia label, containing two Lemko songs. On the first side – "Za Horamy, za Lisamy" (Beyond the Mountains, beyond the Woods), and on the second – "Oi Versze, Myi Vershe" performed by a duet of New York Cathedral Choir members Anna Dran and Joanna Karlyak with orchestral accompaniment. In fact, almost all subsequent solo performances of the song used the same words. However, there is a significant diversity in both the text and the melody and rhythm in folklore and musical notations. The first sheet music of the song was published by Klyment Kvitka in 1922. The recording was made by him in 1918 in a shelter for refugees in Kyiv from a 35-year-old woman from Lemkivshchyna from the village of Pielgrzymka Jasło County, who refused to give her name. A choral arrangement for mixed voices was created by Michael Hayvoronsky in the collection "Ukrainian Folk Songs of Lemkivshchyna and Zakarpattya" («Українські народні пісні Лемківщини і Закарпаття»), published in the 1930s The song was recorded from P. Kovalchuk from near Gorlice. Hayvoronsky used a dialogue-style arrangement between the women's and men's choral groups, in accordance with the content of the lyrics. This arrangement was included in the collection of choral arrangements of Lemko songs "Spivanochky Moyi" («Співаночки мої» "My Songs") compiled by in 1968 A collection called "Homin Verkhovyny" («Гомін Верховини» "Echo of the Highlands") was also published in Ukraine by in 1962. It included 12 arrangements of Lemko songs for a 4-part unaccompanied choir, including "Oy Chorna Hora, Chorna" («Ой чорна гора, чорна» "Oh, Black Mountain, Black"), "Oy Vershe Miy, Vershe" («Ой верше мій, верше» "Oh Mountain, My Mountain"), and "Hayem Zelenеnkym" («Гаєм зелененьким» "Through the Green Grove"). A version of the song in the Pannonian Rusyn language, is also known, recorded in Kucura (Vojvodina) in 1930. The lyrics were recorded by Onufry Tymko, under the pseudonym Ton, and J. Shandor composed an original melody for it. In addition to expressing sadness for the loss of her home, the girl also laments that her beloved is avoiding her: It is interesting that a similar plot is also found in several versions of this song recorded in Lemkivshchyna, particularly by Michael Hayvoronsky and Orest Hyzha: Modern Times The song, with its most widely known authentic text today, was included in the collection "Lemko Songs" («Лемківські співанки») (, 1967) compiled and edited by Mykhailo Sobolevsky. Mykhailo Sobolevsky was born in 1886 in the village of Kostarowce, Sanok County, now Poland. Before World War I, he worked as a conductor of a church choir. From then on, he began collecting and recording Lemko folk songs. After the expulsion of the Lemkos from their ethnic lands, Sobolevsky lived in Ukraine. Upon his retirement in 1959, he decided to process and publish the songs he had collected. It is believed that the song "Oy Vershe Miy, Vershe" was recorded by him in his native village of Kostarowce. Following the publication of the collection, the song became the signature piece of the "Cheremosh" song and dance ensemble of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv. The song gained its widest popularity after being performed by Kvitka Cisyk in a modern arrangement. After that, it was included in the repertoire of many Ukrainian performers and is often performed at various song festivals and competitions. In particular, Jamala won first place in the "New Wave" competition, and won the first prize of the with this song. Eight-year-old Ukrainian girl Maria Volovod Christodoulidou won with it at the international children's talent competition "Eurokids". The song "Oy Vershe Miy, Vershe" is one of the most popular on singing TV shows, including "X-Factor" and "Holos Krainy". Numerous artists have performed the song, including , Tonya Matvienko, the band, Dmytro Babak, Yulia Plaksina, Tetiana Shirko, Anna Kuksa, and many others. In the superfinal of "Holos Krainy 7", Anna Kuksa, accompanied by the "Kiev Tango Project" ensemble, performed "Oy Vershe" in a tango arrangement. The folk song "Oy Vershe Miy, Vershe" by , was selected for a commercial promoting "Lvivske Zhyve" beer. A video featuring this version of the song was released in late 2010. Director incorporated the song "Oy Vershe Miy, Vershe" performed by The Telnyuk Sisters as a lyrical theme for the play "Stolen Happiness" at the Maria Zankovetska National Academic Theater of Lviv. The song is also featured in the plays "Mystery of Being" («Таїна буття») based on a play by and "Elegy Styx" («Елегія Стікс») directed by Oleksandr Korol at the and the , respectively. The song is included in the musical "Kvitka" («Квітка») by the Konstantin Pinchuk "Classikal Grand Ballet" theater.

2024 J.Youth Cup

The 2024 J.Youth Cup (Japanese: Jユースカップ) is the 30th edition of the contested tournament for Japan youth clubs affiliated with both J.League and Japan Club Youth Football Federation. It marked the end of the four-year break motivated by the COVID-19 outbreak between the current and the last edition of the tournament, which was last held on 2019. Outline All 60 J.League clubs' youth academies and 4 youth clubs participates in the tournament. For each match, 18 players (16 outfield players and 2 goalkeepers) can be selected. Similarly to the Olympic Games, the tournament uses an overage-players rule, with third-grade high schoolers having its participation restricted. About the first graders, only 3 outfield players and a goalkeeper can be selected to play each match. The main reason for the rule is that, according to the J.League, the tournament mainly targets under-15 to under-17 players. The tournament consists of three rounds. In the first round, the teams are split in 16 groups with 4 teams each. In the second round, the teams are divided by performance.

Gareth W. Peters is an Australian endowed chair professor of actuarial science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He is also an honorary professor of statistics at University College London. Education Peters has a Bachelor of Engineering from the University of Melbourne, a Master of Science from the University of Cambridge and a PhD in Statistics from the University of New South Wales. Career Before joining the University of California, Santa Barbara, Peters held academic positions at Heriot-Watt University, University College London and University of New South Wales. He has published over 150 peer-reviewed articles on risk and insurance modelling and 2 research text books on Operational Risk and Insurance. He has also been the editor and contributor to 3 edited text books on Monte Carlo methods and spatial statistics. Research work Peters' research shows that mortality rates have heteroscedastic behaviour and incorporating heteroscedasticity and stochastic volatility in the estimation of life tables markedly improves model fit despite an increase of model complexity. This is consistent with the cohort effects widely documented in mortality observations. His research work has been cited by the Swiss Association of Actuaries and informed central bank senior delegates around the world.
