As a volunteer association, the "Patriot Group" emerged on 07.26.2014 in Sloviansk of Donetsk Oblast. In July, after the battles in the border areas of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, Ukrainian military had many dead and prisoners. Activist centurion of Maidan, Oleg Kotenko (call sign "Patriot"), was approached by acquaintances from Cherkasy regarding the search for missing compatriots. After constructive negotiations conducted by Oleg Kotenko, the soldiers were released. This marked the beginning of the public organization "Patriot Group".
The first feedback on the activities of the public organization was expressed by the governor of Cherkasy Oblast, Yuriy Tkachenko. For the exchange of prisoners near Slovyanserbsk and the evacuation of Ukrainian citizens, he awarded one of the members of the negotiation group "Patriot Group" with a badge.
Release of Prisoners of War
In October 2014, negotiators of the "Patriot Group" participated in an exchange near the settlement of Smilyve. Initially, the exchange could not be carried out due to shelling from "grads". Therefore, the release of hostages took place the next day near the settlement of Donetsk. The release of hostages involved fighters of the special unit "Alfa" and a representative of the Unified Center for the Release of Hostages of the Security Service of Ukraine. As a result, 14 Ukrainian soldiers were released

On March 3, 2015, hostages were released – 4 soldiers of the 128th Brigade. The release was jointly conducted by the department for the Release of Prisoners of War at the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and negotiators of the "Patriot Group".
On April 2, 2015, Vasyl Kozak, who had been held hostage since March 16, was released. The release was negotiated in the territory controlled by the "DPR". Oleg Khoroshykh – the head of the analytical department of the "Patriot Group" – participated in the release of the hostage.
On April 4, 2015, the "Patriot Group" conducted successful negotiations for the release of the head of the State Farm Village Council of the Skadovsk district of Kherson Oblast, as well as two soldiers of the 93rd and 51st brigades.
On May 19, 2015, two soldiers of the National Guard of Ukraine were released from the self-proclaimed "DNR" captives: Ihor Panchyshyn from Lviv, and Mykola Valebny from the village of Mezhyrichchia, Sokal district, Lviv Oblast, who were taken hostage in Debaltseve on February 18, 2015.
On July 10, 2015, representatives of the "Patriot Group" participated in negotiations and the release of 9 soldiers and 1 volunteer. The release of hostages took place near the city of Shchastia.

76396554 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammed%20Mu%27azu%20Mukaddas | Muhammed Mu'azu Mukaddas | Muhammed Mu’azu Mukaddas, is a Disaster Management Expert with an extensive disaster management experience. He was appointed by Governor Ahmed Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, as the Executive Secretary and Chief Executive Officer of the Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA). Mukaddas worked at the Bauchi State Field Office of the United Nations Children's Fund UNICEF Nigeria.
The visionary leadership of Mukaddas has changed the perceptions of humanitarian actors in the state from responding to emergencies, to preventing occurrences and building community resilience to mitigate impact of disasters. This strategy has entrenched disaster risk reduction at all levels through public sensitization outreaches, campaigns, workshops and training.
Partnership
Since assumption in November 2021, Mukaddas leveraged on his relationship with the international community to expand SEMA’s collaboration with UNICEF; UNDP; WHO; Victims Support Fund – VSF; Plan International and Care Nigeria. Mukaddas also revived and regained Christian Aid and COOPI’s to partner and fund SEMA’s preparedness activities.
Coordination
Weighing on relationships with development partners, KADSEMA under the leadership of Mukaddas partnered with the European commission, on the need for coordination in disaster mitigation projects in Kaduna state.
In 2022, Nigerian states including Kaduna with an estimated 6 million people experienced the most devastating flood. Many communities were submerged, citizens displaced, economic activities completely halted and at least 603 lives were lost. 1,302,589 persons affected, 2,407 persons injured, 108,392 hectares of farmland inundated, and 82,053 homes damaged as of October 16, 2022. Muhammed Mukaddas led a coordinated response that mitigated impact of the flood on communities of Kaduna state. Only 2 deaths out of the 603 were recorded by Kaduna state.
To achieve the aforementioned, Mukaddas activated the following emergency coordination mechanisms to respond to the flood and coordinate future emergencies in the state:-
•Emergency Operation and Coordination Center (EOC/ECC) with memberships from SEMA; Nigeria's National Emergency Management Agency NEMA.; Red Cross; Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corp.; Relevant Ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) and Civil society organizations (CSOs), under his leadership. The committee met every Tuesdays and Thursdays to review and coordinate responses.
The Emergency operation and Coordination Center rose to the occasion following the unfortunate Abuja-Kaduna train attacks on 28 March 2022. Led by Mukaddas, the team set up the emergency call and information center to provide victims’ families and the general public status updates to alleviate their apprehension and assure them of government’s commitment to provide succor. Among other things, Mukaddas appeared on television interviews to provide updates to the public.

76396627 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert%20Kl%C3%B6cker | Albert Klöcker | Albert Klöcker (28 June 1862 – 3 October 1923) was a Danish mycologist and fermentation physiologist.
Born in Copenhagen, he completed grammar school and began studying medicine. He switched his studies to pharmacy and graduated in 1888. After working as a pharmacist in Copenhagen, he was hired in 1892 as an assistant at the Carlsberg Laboratory's Physiological department, under Emil Christian Hansen. He worked for the laboratory a total of 31 years until his death in 1923. After Hansen's death in 1909, Klöcker was made Director Extraordinary in the same department.
Klöcker's main studies focused on the field of yeast physiology, but he also studied botany and zoology, particularly the study of entomology. He described a number of new species and genera of yeast in the Saccharomycetes family as well as new species of Penicillium and Endomyces. He developed techniques for the description of yeasts based upon the sugars they are able to metabolize.
Between 1894 and 1911 he was an editor for the Archiv for Pharmaci og Chemi. From 1903 to 1913, he was the editor of the Danish journal Entomolgiske Meddelelser, and from 1909 to his death he edited the periodical Bryggeritidende (Journal of Brewing). After 1913, he was a co-editor of the journal Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie. Drawing upon his studies in entomology, he wrote the volumes on butterflies and moths in Danmarks Fauna. He became widely known after the publication of his book Fermentation organisms, which appeared in many editions and in several languages.

It was produced by Da Beatminerz. A remix of the song featuring a sample of "Playing Your Game Baby" by Barry White as well as a new chorus and all-new verses was released on March 28, 1994, as the third single from the album. The remix has become more popular than the original version.
American rapper Eminem remade the original "I Got Cha Opin" in his song "Don't Front", which was released as a bonus track from his album The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (2013).
Composition and critical reception
"I Got Cha Opin" is among the songs from Enta da Stage which have been described as different in style from Black Moon's "Who Got da Props", with a "raspier tone, a more intricate flow and cadence, and a serious presence that was just as threatening as the temperamental MC on the earlier songs." Cheo Hodari Coker of The Source commented the song "keep[s] things moving quite nicely."

76396652 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Men%20of%20the%20Last%20Frontier | The Men of the Last Frontier | The Men of the Last Frontier is a collection of essays, written and illustrated by the Canadian author Grey Owl (18881906). It was published in 1931 in Great Britain by Country Life Limited. Publications by other publishing houses, such as Macmillan of Canada in Canada and Charles Scribner's Sons in the United States, followed.
Contents
The Men of the Last Frontier consists of ten essays on a variety of subjects related to the Canadian North, in which Grey Owl expressed his concerns about the future of the Canadian wilderness and wildlife, particularly the plight of the beaver in the face of extensive trapping and loss of habitat.
Writing the book
Grey Owl began writing The Men of the Last Frontier, his first book, in late 1929 in the area of Cabano in southeastern Quebec, where he and his companion, Anahareo, had been living since the previous year. Except for his adopted beaver Rawhide, he was alone there, Anahareo having left to work a mining claim in northern Quebec.
According to the account in Pilgrims of the Wild, Grey Owl found it difficult to start writing, and decided to return to the cabin on Birch Lake, where he, Anahareo and the beavers McGinnis and McGinty had first settled when they came to the area. He describes his feelings after arriving at the empty cabin: "And I took my old place sadly on the bench and wished I had not come. And as I sat in reverie it fell to dusk." He continued:
Relationship with Country Life
Grey Owl had a fraught relationship with the London publisher of The Men of the Last Frontier, Country Life, and eventually decided to take his future writing to the newly formed publishing house Lovat Dickson & Thompson Limited.
Country Life initially wanted to buy The Men of the Last Frontier outright and offered Grey Owl $750 for all rights. Although he was inexperienced in the publishing business, Grey Owl was suspicious of a deal that gave him no royalties and turned to the Canadian Department of the Interior for advice. The free-lance writer Lloyd Roberts happened to hear of this and intervened on Grey Owl's behalf to negotiate a fairer contract for the book.
Grey Owl wanted the title of the book to be The Vanishing Frontier, but, to his chagrin, Country Life, changed the title to The Men of the Last Frontier without consulting him. He complained to the publisher:
Grey Owl was also adamant that the book be published without editorial changes, in particular, that all grammatical mistakes be left in place. The editors at Country Life ignored his wish, much to Grey Owl's irritation.
Illustrations
The book contains a sketch of frontier clothing by Grey Owl.

The album is scheduled to be released on April 5, 2024, via RCA Records, and will be his first full-length album in almost four years, following the release of Anniversary in October 2020. The album will feature 19 tracks, including a confirmed guest appearance from Victoria Monét.
Background and promotion
Prior to the release of Anniversary, Tiller was working on a since-scrapped album entitled Serenity, in which he was waiting on sample clearances for to release in 2019. The album was still teased to be his next project, even after Anniversary's release, but was quietly scrapped over the years.
On October 31, 2021, Tiller released a mixtape, Killer Instinct 2: The Nightmare Before, on a private link that he texted to his fans using the community number he had made earlier in 2020. The mixtape featured a variety of freestyles over current beats at the time, including Normani's "Wild Side", Brent Faiyaz's "Gravity" and Busta Rhymes' "New York Shit". This was followed almost three weeks later by his first Christmas EP, A Different Christmas released on November 19. Tiller said the project was inspired by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber, the latter of whom featured in the song "Lonely Christmas". Tiller's daughter Halo also appears on the closing track.
On August 19, 2023, the mixtape Slum Tiller, Volume One was released exclusively on SoundCloud. This was the first in a series inspired by Detroit rap and the group Slum Village, and was also a way for him to put out new music without the restrictions of sample clearances. Volume 2 was released four months later on November 9, and featured the song "Whatever She Wants". On January 2, 2024, Tiller announced the weekly music program Tiller Tuesdays, which saw him release music on SoundCloud every Tuesday from January 9 to March 12, 2024. Within the program, the third volume of Slum Tiller was also released, on January 23.
On March 19, 2024, the album and its release date was officially announced with a trailer.
Singles
"Outside" was released as the album's lead single on September 8, 2022, which sampled the Ying Yang Twins' 2005 single "Wait (The Whisper Song)". Its music video was released a month later on October 18, and featured an appearance from the Ying Yang Twins themselves. A batch of singles were initially planned for the album after the release of "Outside", but due to sample clearances, the songs were scrapped and removed from the album.
"Whatever She Wants" was released as the album's sole promotional single on February 13, 2024. Originally taken from the SoundCloud-exclusive mixtape Slum Tiller, Volume 2 (released in November 2023), the song was released on all streaming platforms after gaining popularity on TikTok, and featured a new second verse, unlike the original SoundCloud version.
"Calypso" was the album's second official single, released on March 19, 2024, along with the album's preorder.

The grandsons of a ballet master in Genoa, the brothers Charles and Louis Mosconi were born in Philadelphia. They were taught to dance by their father, Charles Mosconi Sr. (18681942), who set up a dance school there in 1908. The brothers began performing together on stage as children, and developed an act in which Louis dressed as Charlie Chaplin and Charles as Edna Purviance. They performed locally until 1918, when they first appeared at the Palace Theatre on Broadway in New York City.
They performed many times at the Palace Theatre over the next decade, claiming a record in playing there for 52 weeks over seven years. They perfected an energetic and acrobatic dance act in which one of the brothers would run as fast as possible up the vertical side of the stage set, and perform a backwards somersault to the ground. They became headliners around the country and internationally, topping the bill at the London Palladium, when they were billed as "The Eighth Wonder of the World". They also sometimes performed as part of the Mosconi Family, with their sister Verna (18991990), brother Willie (19011964), and father Charles Sr. The brothers Charles and Louis gave their final vaudeville performance in 1934.
Louis Mosconi opened a dance school in Hollywood, Los Angeles, which remained open until shortly before his death in 1969. Charles Mosconi later worked as a ticket broker in New York City, and died in 1975. Their cousin Willie Mosconi was a noted pool champion.

In 1982 he sold the franchise to a real-estate investor Marvin Kratter for US$1.5 million and consecutively was featured in the People magazine.
He recounted his passion for inventions in his autobiography published in 1979: Don't give up - There's always a way ().

76396751 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old%20Sanctuary%20of%20Our%20Lady%20of%20Caravaggio | Old Sanctuary of Our Lady of Caravaggio | The Old Sanctuary of Our Lady of Caravaggio (Portuguese: Antigo Santuário de Nossa Senhora de Caravaggio), also known as the Old Mother Church (Matriz Antiga) or the Chapel of Ex-Votos (Capela dos Ex-Votos), is located inside the current Sanctuary of Our Lady of Caravaggio, in the Brazilian city of Farroupilha, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. It was the center of devotion to Our Lady of Caravaggio in the state until the 1960s. In 2006, it was declared a state heritage site due to the historical, cultural and social importance of the site.
History
The first place of worship dedicated to Our Lady of Caravaggio in the old Linha Palmeiro, formerly part of the Dona Isabel Colony (currently Bento Gonçalves), was a 12 square meter wooden chapel with a small porch at the entrance built by immigrants Antônio Franceschet and Pasqual Pasa due to the lack of a temple in the area, which forced them to hold services inside their homes. After it was finished, donations allowed the space to be extended to accommodate 100 people.
The venerated image was an engraving of Our Lady of Loreto brought from Italy in 1876 by Natal Faoro and lent by him to the community. In 1885, a statue of the Virgin of Caravaggio was acquired from the Italian sculptor Pietro Stangherlin, who lived in Caxias do Sul. It was brought from Caxias in procession and, since then, a tradition of pilgrimages to the chapel has developed. Later, the community gathered to build a masonry church and pottery was improvised to manufacture the bricks for the structure of the temple, while the carved stone remained for the adjoining bell tower. The building was inaugurated in 1890. In 1900, the bell tower clock, built by Augusto Rombaldi, was installed.
On May 26, 1921, the parish received the status of a diocesan shrine and a permanent secular clergy to attend worship and organize pilgrimages. In 1959, Our Lady of Caravaggio was declared patroness of the Diocese of Caxias do Sul. After 1963, the temple, unable to accommodate the influx of devotees, transferred its status as a parish church to the building next door, which had a capacity for around 2,000 people.
Currently, the shrine gathers around 140 families and seven subordinate chapels. In 2006, it was listed as a landmark site by the Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute of the State of Rio Grande do Sul (Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul - IPHAE), along with the rest of the sanctuary complex, due to its importance to history, art and culture. Between 2005 and 2012, the chapel underwent restoration work led by Marinês Gallon. The result was criticized as disastrous by Ricardo Frantz, the former coordinator of the Rio Grande do Sul Museum of Art collection:Restoration, unlike what was done here, is a process based on respect for the original work, in which its distinctive characteristics are kept exactly as they are so that they can say what they have to say, fulfilling their role as an authentic and legible document, without entirely arbitrary interventions like this one, which falsify what they claim to preserve. [...] The entire texture of the paintings has been altered, countless details have been added, others removed, the colors have changed their tones, the volumes and contours have changed. [...] In fact, we're looking at a copy, because all that's really left of the original is the overall composition. The whole effect is that of a new work, even though it resembles the one that originated it. [...] To study art and history on the basis of testimonies that have been tampered with to such an extent is to learn false things that lead to misleading conclusions and nonsense. That's not educating, that's not documenting the facts correctly, that's creating an artificial reality. This distorted knowledge ends up multiplying, creates tradition and becomes a truer history than the authentic truth that we insisted on hiding under layers of 'creative' paint, even though it may have been done with the best of intentions.In 2012, the process of listing two surrounding areas was launched in order to create a landscape and cultural complex. The main pilgrimage currently attracts between 200,000 and 300,000 faithful and is the largest religious festival in the northeast of Rio Grande do Sul.
Architectural features
Facade
The chapel has simple architecture with neoclassical and neo-Gothic elements. The facade has a traditional classic triangle-over-square layout raised above a small basement with a single central door and an arched opening. The door has a discreet frontispiece composed of a thin frame in relief imitating carved stone, crowned by a cornice and a pediment with a cross at the top and inscribed 1890, the date of the inauguration. On the side there are two slender circular pilasters with fluting and no capital. In the two side openings, at a high level, there are small round-arched windows with simple frames in relief.
A large triangular pediment sits above the block, separated from the structure below by a cornice adorned with a frieze with a semicircular motif simulating corbels. Another cornice just above, more ornate, extends and outlines the entire pediment, interrupting in a round arch at the base to house an oculus occluded by stained glass. There are two small pinnacles on the corners and a cross on the apex.
Interior
The interior has a single nave and a chancel at the back with a predominance of the neo-Gothic style. The entrance is located under a wooden choir supported by two slender octagonal columns and decorated with simple paintings (Saint Cecilia, King David with the psaltery and another unidentified saint) in three medallions along the parapet. Also under the choir are two wooden confessionals, one on either side of the entrance.
The nave is lined with ogival windows, side columns and a foliate relief above. The walls are decorated with ornamental paintings by Antônio Cremonese, with trompe-l'oeil garlands at the top and marbled effects on the pilasters and plinths. The barrel vaulted ceiling is made of light blue wood dotted with tiny golden stars and stands on a wide cornice decorated with a frieze in a floral motif. In the middle of the nave, a door opens on each side and on the left is a simple wooden pulpit with a canopy. The benches are also made of wood with discreet carving and the floor is decorated with tiles in various geometric motifs.
There are two neo-Gothic carved altars next to the crossing arch painted white with green and natural wood details, with marbled panels and different images of saints. The one on the left is dedicated to St. Anne and has a rare statue of the Virgin Mary as a baby wrapped in cloths and tied tightly with straps at the base. The altar on the right is in honor of St. Anthony the Abbot, along with other secondary saints. The arch has pilasters decorated with marbled paint and above it is a painted scene with angels and God with open arms appearing between clouds.
The apsidal chancel is separated from the nave by a step and a marble balustrade, opened in the middle by a small metal gate. The main altarpiece is a neo-Gothic wooden construction with several levels, pinnacles with a pierced work and several niches for statues. A pair of images depicting the patroness blessing the kneeling seer Joaneta made by the Atelier Zambelli stands out. At the base of the altarpiece is the celebration table, on a podium with three steps, under which is a scene in relief depicting the Last Supper. Also attached to the altarpiece are rare processional candle holders in worked and painted metal.
There are two murals on the walls of the chancel depicting scenes of healings sponsored by the Virgin of Caravaggio made by Cremonese. The ceiling is a half-dome made of wood with similar decoration to the nave ceiling. On the side are two ogival windows with colored stained glass and doors that lead to the former sacristy, now converted into a storage room for ex-votos, and to a confessional room on the other side. A series of modern panels with images and text were also installed in the chancel as a memorial to the former priests who served the parish. The temple has an audio system that narrates the apparition of the Virgin in Italy, the history of the shrine and its traditions.
Bell tower
To the left of the church stands a stone belfry with several openings, a clock and a neo-Gothic crown with pinnacles and double openings for the three bells imported from Italy, which, according to tradition, have the power to ward off hailstorms with their ringing. The belfry is topped off by a large figure of an angel blessing the people.

76396813 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bank%20of%20Israel%20Law | Bank of Israel Law | The Bank of Israel Law is the law under which the Bank of Israel operates. In August 1954, the Knesset approved the Bank of Israel Law, 5714–1954, and the law came into effect on December 1, 1954, considered the founding day of the bank. On March 16, 2010, the Knesset approved the Bank of Israel Law, 5770–2010, which replaced the previous law, and it came into effect on June 1, 2010.
The law
The law established the creation of the Bank of Israel, whose duties are "to manage, regulate, and direct the currency system, as well as to regulate and direct the credit and banking system in Israel, in accordance with the economic policy of the government and the provisions of this law, in order to promote by monetary means:
(1) The stabilization of the value of the currency in Israel and abroad;
(2) A high level of production, employment, national income, and capital investment in Israel." (Section 3 of the law)
This provision grants the Bank authority in the monetary field, but it obligates it to act in accordance with the government's economic policy, thereby limiting its autonomy. The bank was established as the central financial authority in the country.
The law stipulates that the head of the bank is the governor, appointed by the President of the State upon the recommendation of the government for a term of five years, with the possibility of extension. The governor manages the bank and serves as an advisor to the government on currency and other economic matters. The government, consulting with the governor, also appoints one or two deputy governors. The law sets the conditions for the suspension of the governor and the deputy governor.
The government appoints an advisory committee to the bank, consisting of no more than eleven members, chaired by a chairman and vice-chairman. Additionally, the government appoints an advisory council, composed of the committee members and ten additional members. The committee and the council advise the governor (but do not have the authority to make binding decisions for the governor), and the governor is required to attend their meetings.
The Bank of Israel has exclusive authority to issue currency, which is legal tender in Israel, in an amount determined by the governor.
The bank is allowed to acquire, hold, and transfer gold, foreign currency, and securities of foreign governments. The bank regulates the banking credit and has the authority to determine the liquidity of banks.
Upon its entry into force, the following laws were repealed:
Bank Notes Ordinance, 5708-1948 Currency Ordinance, 5708–1948, except Sections 1 and 2 therein Small Coins Ordinance, 5709–1948
As part of the 1985 Economic Stabilization Plan, Section 45 was amended, and Section 45A was added to the Bank of Israel Law. According to the amendment (in contrast to the policy followed by other central banks worldwide such as the Federal Reserve), the Bank of Israel is prohibited from printing money to finance government expenditures. Prior to the amendment, the government initiated and obligated the bank to do so. This significant amendment increased the autonomy of the Bank of Israel as the planner of Israel's monetary policy.
In the 1990s, two committees operated to examine the Bank of Israel Law: a public committee led by Professor Tzvi Zisman (formerly the Deputy Governor) during Yitzhak Rabin's tenure, and an internal committee of the Bank of Israel, led by Dr. David Klein.
In December 1997, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, following an initiative by Governor Jacob Frenkel, appointed the Committee for Examining the Bank of Israel Law, chaired by Supreme Court Justice Dov Levin, with its members being Professor Chaim Ben-Shachar from Tel Aviv University, former Governor of the Bank of Israel Arnon Gafni, Chairman of the Advisory Council Shlomo Lorincz, former Deputy Minister of Finance Ezekiel Flumin, Professor Alex Zuckerman from Tel Aviv University, and attorney Yaakov Rubin. The committee submitted its recommendations to the government in December 1998.
The Bank of Israel Law, 5770, in 2010
In the law, which was approved within six weeks of its submission, the objectives of the bank were redefined as follows:
(1) To maintain price stability, as a central goal. The price stability area is determined by the government, in consultation with the Governor.
(2) To support other goals of the government's economic policy, especially growth, employment, and reducing social disparities, provided that, according to the Monetary Committee of the Bank, this does not undermine the achievement of price stability over time. For this purpose, "price stability over time" means a state where the committee anticipates, based on the monetary policy it has set, that the inflation rate will be within the defined price stability range for a period not exceeding two years. (3) To support the stability of the financial system and its orderly functioning.
(3) To support the stability of the financial system and its orderly functioning.
The law also specifies the roles of the bank:
(1) To conduct monetary policy.
(2) To hold and manage the country's foreign currency reserves.
(3) To support the orderly operation of the foreign currency market in Israel.
(4) To serve as the government's banker.
(5) To regulate payment and settlement systems in the economy, aiming to ensure their efficiency and stability, including in accordance with the Payment Systems Law, 5778-2008.
(6) To issue currency, regulate the cash system in the economy, and guide it.
(7) To supervise and regulate the banking system within its authorities under banking laws and any other law.
The law emphasizes the bank's independence: "The Bank shall be independent in choosing its actions and exercising its powers for the purpose of achieving its objectives and fulfilling its duties" (Section 5 of the law).
The law states that the head of the bank is the Governor, appointed by the President of the State upon the recommendation of the government for a period of five years, with the possibility of extension for only one additional period. The Governor manages the bank and serves as an economic advisor to the government, particularly regarding reducing social disparities and income inequality in society. The government, upon the Governor's recommendation, may also appoint a Deputy Governor. The law sets the conditions for the dismissal of the Governor and Deputy Governor.

76396842 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City%20symphony | City symphony | City symphonies emerged in the 1920s, a unique genre of film emerged encompassing documentary, experimental, and the avant-garde. Coming to prominence alongside post-modernist art movements such as futurism, constructivism, and radicalism, city symphonies reflect the historical development of city centers and technological hubs of advancement. As the art of cinema became more respected and auteurist, filmmakers such as Walter Ruttman and Dziga Vertov gravitated towards works highlighting the beauty of cities, aiming to capture scenes of modern life from their narrative points of views.
Emergence
The term city "symphony" suggests a musically inclined editing pace and harmonious imagery to support the . Many city symphony filmmakers shot their films with an artistically inclined eye, aiming to show urban hubs with aestheticism and beauty rather than as a travel log. Cities across the world such as Manhattan, Berlin, and Milan were filmed in admiration with positive images of their hardworking people and impressive industrial feats. Rather than have characters, dialogue, or narrative, the city itself was the star of these films.
Made in the 1920s up until the 1930s, city symphony films were before the era of sound cinema, however images were supported by orchestral accompaniments.
City symphonies are usually associated with the rise in art film as well as contemporaneous trends in art and photography movements like modernism.
Notable works
Below are some popular city symphony works, not all-encompassing.
"Berlin: Symphony of a Great City" (1927) - By Walter Rottmann, a silent documentary capturing the rhythm and vitality of everyday life in 1920s Berlin.
"Man with a Movie Camera" (1929) - A pioneering experimental film by Dziga Vertov, showcasing urban life in various Soviet cities through innovative cinematic techniques.
"Manhatta" (1922) - Directed by Paul Strand, a picturesque experimental film showcasing the vast infrastructure and ingenuity of one of New York's most industrial and advanced cities of the time.

76396899 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GRB%20200522A | GRB 200522A | GRB 200522A is a large kilonova in the Constellation Pisces. It was first observed in May 2020 by the Hubble Space Telescope. It is the result of the largest neutron star explosion ever recorded, and was bright enough to be visible by Hubble 5.4 billion light years away.
Formation
GRB 200522A is believed to have been formed when two neutron stars collided and exploded, creating an extremely large and bright short-ray gamma burst. The brightness of the emission was 10 times that of predicted, and was around 10,000 times more powerful than the sun in its entire 10 billion year lifetime. These findings and numbers, aided by the Hubble, have concluded that the kilonova is masking an extremely large and magnetized nuetron star.
Reactions
Prominent astronomer and professor Wen-fai Fong stated about the kilanova “It’s amazing to me that after 10 years of studying the same type of phenomenon, we can discover unprecedented behavior like this,”.
ADS stated "This is substantially lower than on-axis short GRB afterglow detections but is a factor of ≈8-17 more luminous than the kilonova of GW170817 and significantly more luminous than any kilonova candidate for which comparable observations exist."

76396901 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noccaea%20fendleri | Noccaea fendleri | Noccaea fendleri more commonly known as wild candytuft and alpine pennycress is a wildflower in the mustard family from western North America. It grows in mountains from northern Mexico to the northern United States. It blooms early in the spring and provides nectar to butterflies.
Description
Noccaea fendleri is a small perennial plant. They range in size from just 1 centimeter to as much as 45 centimeters in height, but are most often 4–32 centimeters tall. The stems may be without branches or be branched near their ends. Very often it will grow as a clump of plants, but may also be a single rosette.
Plants have more basal leaves, ones that grow directly from the base of the plant, than ones on their stems. Leaves are dark green in color and have smooth edges, but are sometimes slightly purple. The leaf surface is smooth, without hairs, and sometimes covered in a waxy coating (glaucous). The shape of the basal leaves are quite variable and may be narrow and grass like (blade linear), a narrow rectangle with rounded corners (oblong leaf), resemble a spear head (oblanceolate), somewhat egg shaped (ovate leaf), be shaped like a teardrop with the stem the narrow end (obovate), or be shaped like a spoon (spatulate). They are also variable in size, 4–30 millimeters long and 2–20 millimeters wide. Leaves are attached to the base of the plant by a small stem (a petiole 0.4–7.3 centimeters long. The leaves on the stems are are attached alternately to them and the bases of the leaves partially surround the stems (a clasping leaf). Each stem may have from two to twenty-one leaves.
The species blooms early in the spring. Its flowers usually have white petals and yellow centers, but the flowers sometimes are tinged slightly purple or or pink. The petal length is 4.2–13 millimeters long by 1–4.9 millimeters wide.
The fruit is a type of pod called a silicle, two fused carpels that will split open when ripe. They have a range of possible shapes including teardrop shaped (obovate), heart shaped attached at the tip (obcordate), triangular with nearly equal sides (obdeltate), and round with a point (elliptic).
Taxonomy
Noccaea fendleri has a long and complicated taxonomic history. The autonymic name of one of its subspecies, Noccaea fendleri subsp. fendleri, was described and named Iberis badensis by Carl Linnaeus in 1755. Thereafter it was frequently described in the pennycress genus, Thlaspi. It received its current classification and name in 1998 from the botanist Josef Ludwig Holub. this is the classification used in Plants of the World Online, World Flora Online,, and the Flora of North America.
Subspecies
there are five recognized subspecies:
Noccaea fendleri subsp. californica
This subspecies is distinguished by its elliptic seed pods. It is a rare plant, only known from serpentinite rock outcrops in the Kneeland Prairie area of Humboldt County, California.
Noccaea fendleri subsp. fendleri
The autonymic subspecies has 4–6 seeds in each fruit, like subspecies glauca. It has longer petals, typically 6.5-11 millimeters and its racemes are usually compact. It grows in the US states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas and in northern Mexico.
Noccaea fendleri subsp. glauca
Subspecies glauca, like fendleri, has 4–6 seeds in each fruit, but has shorter petals. Usually they are 4–7 millimeters long and a more loose and open raceme. This subspecies is a known hyperaccumulator of nickel, with the heavy metal being concentrated in all parts of the plant including the reproductive parts and nectar. It is the most widespread and common of the five subspecies.
Noccaea fendleri subsp. idahoense
This subspecies has narrower leaves than others, grass like (linear) or like a narrow spear head (narrowly oblanceolate). It has a restricted range and is only found in central Idaho in Blaine, Boise, Custer, Elmore, and Valley counties at elevations of 2100–3700 meters.
Noccaea fendleri subsp. siskiyouense
This subspecies has 2–4 seeds in each fruit and leaf stems that are much longer than the basal leaves, usually two or three times longer, but sometimes as much as four times longer. It is only found in Curry, Douglas, and Josephine counties in south west Oregon.
Names
The species was scientifically named by Asa Gray to honor Augustus Fendler, who collected some of the specimens that were used in his 1853 description of it as Thlaspi fendleri. This species is known in English as "alpine pennycress", "mountain pennycress", "wild candytuft", and "Fendler's pennycress".
Range and habitat
Noccaea fendleri is native to western North America from Washington state and Montana in the US to Chihuahua, Coahuila, and Sonora in northern Mexico.
It grows in alpine and montane ecosystems and prefers rocky slopes and forest openings. The most common of its subspecies, glauca, can be found at elevations of 300–4400 meters.
Cultivation
Wild candytuft is used in native plant gardens for its butterfly attracting white flowers. They are winter hardy in USDA zones 2–8 and are adaptable to many soil types. They also will grow in full sun or shade. They tolerate drought conditions by going dormant.

76396994 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%ADlvia%20Orriols | Sílvia Orriols | Sílvia Orriols i Serra (born 9 October 1984) is a Spanish politician, president of the Catalan political party Catalan Alliance, and mayor of Ripoll since June 2023.
Biography
She has a degree in Library and Information Science from the University of Vic and has worked since 2006 as an administrator in a private company. As a politician, she has been active in several political parties. In 2004 she joined the Estat Català lists for the elections to the European Parliament. After the independence referendum in Catalonia in 2017, she began to actively participate in the Ripoll protests against the application of article 155, gradually becoming kown thanks to these types of acts.
Subsequently, she joined the National Front of Catalonia, a party with which she ran in the 2019 local elections in Ripoll and obtained 503 votes and one councilor. The other parties in the council agreed on a cordon sanitaire, with the commitment not to agree or participate in electoral debates with her. In March 2020, she left the party and continued in the council as an independent councilor.
In July of that same year she founded a new political party, the Catalan Alliance party, with which she defends the independence of Catalonia and anti-Islam positions; The party considers that immigration is actually an invasion, an idea that is linked to the conspiracy theory of the great replacement.
Later, she ran for mayor of Ripoll in the 2023 local elections. She became the most voted party in the municipality, with 6 councilors and more than 30% of the votes. Faced with this situation, most of the remaining political forces tried to make a pact to prevent Orriols from becoming mayor of Ripoll. However, this pact was not successful because Junts per Catalunya distanced itself from the cordon sanitaire, a fact that allowed Sílvia Orriols to occupy the position.

76397047 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salami%20slicing%20tactics%20%28politics%29 | Salami slicing tactics (politics) | Salami slicing tactics, also Salami slicing tactics, also known as salami slicing, salami tactics, the salami-slice strategy, or salami attacks is a term used to describe a divide and conquer process of threats and alliances to overcome opposition. With it, an aggressor can influence and eventually dominate a landscape, typically political, in piecemeal fashion. Opposition is eliminated "slice by slice" until its members realize, usually too late, that it has been virtually neutralized in its entirety. In some cases, the tactics include the creation of several factions within an opposing political party, followed by its dismantling from the inside, without giving the affected parties the opportunity to protest or react. Salami tactics are most likely to succeed when its perpetrators keep their true long-term motives hidden and maintain a posture of cooperativeness and helpfulness while engaged in gradual subversion.
Origins
It was commonly believed that the term salami tactics () was coined in the late 1940s by Stalinist dictator Mátyás Rákosi to describe the actions of the Hungarian Communist Party in its ultimately successful drive for complete power in Hungary. Noting that "salami, an expensive food, is not eaten all at once, but is cut one slice at a time," Rákosi claimed he destroyed Hungary's leading, center-right, Smallholders' Party through a "step-by-step approach ... known as the 'Salami tactic,' and thanks to it we were able, day after day, to slice off, to cut up the reactionary forces skulking in the Smallholders' Party." By portraying his opponents as fascists (or at the very least fascist sympathizers), Rákosi was able to get the opposition to push out its own right wing, then its center, then most of its left wing, leaving only "fellow travellers" willing to collaborate with the Communists.
Another similar technique became known as the "Kékcédulás Választás", when ballot papers were forged so that one person can vote more than once.
However, according to historian Norman Stone, the term might have been invented by Hungarian Independence Party leader Zoltán Pfeiffer, a hardline anti-communist opponent of Rákosi.
Thomas C. Schelling wrote in his 1966 book Arms and Influence:

76397068 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardment%20of%20Gao | Bombardment of Gao | On January 13, 2013, as one of the first actions of French intervention in Mali, French planes bombed the city of Gao, which was controlled by the jihadist Movement for Oneness and Jihad in West Africa (MOJWA).
Background
In early 2012, moderate Tuareg rebels of the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) launched an offensive against Malian forces in northern Mali, capturing swathes of territory including the cities of Kidal and Ménaka. The rebellion was quickly hijacked by jihadist groups such as Ansar Dine and MOJWA, which sought to create an Islamic state in northern Mali. The capture of the cities of Timbuktu and Gao by these groups pushed French forces to intervene in Mali, pushing the rebels back at the city of Konna. On the same day of the Gao bombings, French forces also bombed an Ansar Dine base in Aghabo, Kidal Region.
Bombardment
On the morning of January 13, four Rafale fighter jets took off from Saint-Dizier in France and headed towards Mali, accompanied by tankers. Two of the aircraft were equipped with air-to-surface missiles and two were equipped with laser-guided bombs. The aircraft flew over Morocco and Mauritania to avoid Algerian airspace. They refueled three times during the journay; once over Spain, once over Mauritania and again near the Mauritanian-Malian border. Around six hours after takeoff, French forces bombed several areas in and around Gao. The strikes lasted a total of forty minutes, and twelve laser-guided bombs and nine air-to-surface missiles were launched.
French defense minister Jean-Yves Le Drian stated that "training camps, infrastructure and logistics depots constituting the rear bases of the terrorist groups" were destroyed during the bombardment. Following the strikes, the planes flew eastward for around two hours before landing at the N'Djamena airbase around 4:30pm.
The jihadists in the town were surprised at the bombings, and suffered heavy losses. Residents stated that more than sixty jihadists were killed in the strikes in the town of Gao, and more died in the bases on the outskirts. Jihadists who survived the attacks sought refuge in the houses of civilians, and only came back out during nightfall to bury the bodies of their comrades.
Aftermath
A regional security source stated that the most deaths were at the military camp in Gao. At the time of the bombings, the jihadists were in the middle of a meeting. Many of those in the meeting were killed. Another source corroborated the heavy casualties at the military camp, and stated that the toll of sixty dead was not an exaggeration, and that the real death toll was much higher.
Residents of Gao stated there were no civilian casualties during the bombings. Some residents cheered at the strikes, and looted the Gao police station. The Firhoun and Bourem military camps were destroyed, and another camp in the center of Gao was destroyed.

Life
Drechsler wrote mainly for the music magazine Spex, which she co-founded in 1980, and for Miss Vogue. Her most important literary innovation was the invention of a style characterized by numerous apparent trivialities and subjectivities, an innovation of the category "interview", which she transformed into a kind of investigative journalism through radical accuracy. Her interviews with Slayer and the Suicidal Tendencies are considered milestones. In the early 1990s, she left Spex and worked for Haffmans Verlag. Among others, she translated works by Billy Childish, Bret Easton Ellis, Irvine Welsh and Nick Hornby into German.

76397164 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friederike%20Bethmann-Unzelmann | Friederike Bethmann-Unzelmann | Christiana Friederike Augustine Conradine Bethmann-Unzelmann, née Flittner (January 24, 1760, Gotha — August 16, 1815, Berlin) was a German actress and singer.
Life
Friederike Bethmann-Unzelmann was the daughter of the ducal Saxon government registrar Jacques Flittner and his wife Carolina Sophia Augusta Hartmann. She received her vocal training from her stepfather, the actor and singer Gustav Friedrich Großmann, and made her debut at the Stadttheater in Mainz in 1777. There she also joined Abel Seyler's ensemble, but later switched to her stepfather's troupe. In her first engagements, she sang almost exclusively in operas, where she had her first great successes as an interpreter of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
At the age of 25, Friederike Flittner married the actor and singer Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand Unzelmann in Mainz in 1786, with whom she was engaged in Mainz until 1788. She had three children with him, the actor Karl Wolfgang Unzelmann (1786–1843), the daughter Louise Wilhelmine Elisabeth Henriette (baptized 25 June 1790 in Berlin; † 14 May 1852 there), who later married the actor Friedrich Josef Korntheuer, and the xylographer Friedrich Unzelmann (1797–1854).
In 1788, she went to Berlin with her husband and, like him, became a member of the ensemble at the court theater. She worked there very successfully until she divorced her husband in 1803. In 1805, Friederike Unzelmann married the actor Heinrich Bethmann for the second time.
Thanks to her success in Berlin, Bethmann-Unzelmann received many offers, which she subsequently accepted. Smaller tours took her to the theaters in Hamburg, Leipzig and Vienna. She gave guest performances at the theaters in Braunschweig, Frankfurt am Main, Munich and Prague, which were enthusiastically received by critics and audiences alike. In 1804, she sang the title role in the premiere of Friedrich Heinrich Himmel's opera Fanchon, das Leiermädchen at his request. Other brilliant roles included "Konstanze" in Die Entführung aus dem Serail, "the Countess" in Figaro's Marriage and "Fiordiligi" in Così fan tutte by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. But she was also convincing in the works of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and William Shakespeare.
In 1810, Friederike Bethmann-Unzelmann experienced a scandal at the Berlin theater: During a performance of the opera Sargines (Ferdinando Paër), her daughter was booed on stage by the audience. Friederike Bethmann-Unzelmann then stormed the stage, took her daughter with her out of indignation and swore never to perform again. Through the mediation of August Wilhelm Iffland, however, she reversed her decision.
At the age of 55, Friederike Bethmann-Unzelmann died suddenly and unexpectedly on August 16, 1815, in Berlin. Her final resting place is the Unzelmann family grave at Friedhof II der Jerusalems- und Neuen Kirche in Berlin-Kreuzberg. She lies there next to her son Friedrich Unzelmann (1797–1854) and his wife Johanna née Schilling (1797–1873). Three marble plaques with the names of the deceased are attached to the plastered grave wall. A pedestal marble cross stands in front of it. The site is bordered at the front by a grille.

Military career
Vladislav Ammosov fought in both the First and Second Chechen Wars while serving in the GRU. After the annexation of Crimea and the subsequent war in Donbas, Ammosov decided to leave the Russian military. He said in an interview: "I left the reserve before 2014, when it finally became clear that this state and I have different paths. The seizure of Crimea and the aggression in Donbas looked like agony. It was already clear that the empire was disintegrating and would soon die. After all, Russia's violation of international agreements meant that no one would comply with them when it concerned Russia. What is stopping my republic from holding a referendum and seceding from Russia? Yakutia will likely have to survive on its own in the future." On 24 February 2022, when Russia invaded Ukraine, he saw it as an opportunity for Siberia to gain independence from Russia and decided to fight alongside Ukraine. After a background check, he became the commander of the newly formed Sibir Battalion. In 2024 he led the Sibir Battalion in an incursion into Russian territory from Ukraine.
Politics
Vladislav Ammosov has stated that he wants to see Russia collapse and establish an independent Yakutia.

She was then the Liberian Executive Director and Board Secretary for the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Presidential Center for Women and Development.
Life
Weeks father was Rocheforte L. Weeks and he had been the first and third Liberian President of the university from 1959 to 1971.
In 2017, Weeks became the 14th President of the University of Liberia. She was the second woman to be president and the first to be a child of a former head of the university. She inherited a body that less than a decade before had a terrible reputation for admitting students with little qualification and then allowing them and other to gain qualifications they had had not achieved. The retiring head of the university was creditted with turning it around and the university's budget had increased by a magnitude.
One of her first tasks was given to her by the President of the country and that was to name the university's Fendall Campus after Mary Antoinette Brown Sherman who had been the first woman to lead the university.
At the start of 2018 there was a protest by the students of her decision to not extend a registration deadline. The protest lasted for seven hours and included about 200 students.
She led the university for a short time, being replaced as president in 2019 at the instruction of Liberian president George Weah who had come to power the year before. The new university president was Dean Nelson.
The Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Presidential Center for Women and Development was created in 2018. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf had led Liberia from 2006 to 2018 as the first woman to lead an African country. Weeks led this centre from March 2020 with its flagship programme to create a generation of African women leaders.
Weeks was thanked for her work at the EJSPC by Ellen Johnson Sirleaf when Gambian Oley Dibba-Wadda took over as an interim replacement.

76397291 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katja%20Kessler | Katja Kessler | Katja Kessler (born 5 January 1969; Kiel) is a German journalist and author.
Life and career
After Abitur at Kieler Gelehrtenschule, Kessler studied Dentistry at Kiel University. After a two-year sabbatical, she continued her studies in Hamburg and completed her doctorate in Dr. med. dent. with the 1997 thesis Iron loading and antioxidant status in patients with homozygous β-thalassemia using the chelator deferiprone.
Instead of taking over her father's practice, Kessler did an internship at Axel-Springer-Verlag and caused a sensation with her articles about nude pictures on the front page of the BILD-Zeitung. She was given her own column and reported on high society at home and abroad for four years. In 2002, Kessler married Kai Diekmann, then editor-in-chief of Bild and later editor-in-chief of the Bild group. The two have four children and live in Potsdam.
Kessler has also published in the FAZ, the Für Sie and the Welt am Sonntag and together with Dieter Bohlen wrote his biographies Nichts als die Wahrheit (2002) and Hinter den Kulissen (2003). For her work, she was awarded the Champagne Prize for Joie de Vivre and - together with Bohlen - the Goldene Feder. This prize was awarded because the book "was the first time that the feuilletons of renowned newspapers had dealt with the tabloid phenomenon". Her first novel Herztöne was published in 2007, followed in 2008 by Das Mami Buch: Schwangerschaft, Geburt und die zehn Monate danach, and in 2009 by Frag mich Schatz, ich weiß es besser, a novel in which she writes partly autobiographically about her marriage to Diekmann. On March 8, 2011, Kessler's laugh-out-loud stories Das Schatzi-Experiment oder Der Tag, an dem ich beschloss, meinen Mann zu dressieren were published. In 2014, she published Silicon Wahnsinn: Wie ich mal mit Schatzi nach Kalifornien auswanderte.
Kessler also appeared as a "parenting expert" on the RTL show Erwachsen auf Probe.
Since 2018, she has been self-employed as an interior designer. In November 2023, four of her interior design projects - the "Villa Meerestern" and "Das Kulm" (both Ostseebad Heringsdorf), the "Ullsteinhalle" in Berlin and the "H1" in Bielefeld - were nominated for the SBID Award in London, which was ultimately won by the Villa Meeresstern.

76397343 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephraim%20Williams%20%28circus%20owner%29 | Ephraim Williams (circus owner) | Ephraim Williams (July 1860–13 December 1921) was an American circus owner. Also known as Prof. Eph Williams, he was the first Black circus owner in the United States in the 1880s, and he was likely the only Black circus owner in the country until his death. He owned several circuses including the Ferguson and Williams Monster Show, Professor Williams' Consolidated American and German Railroad Shows, and an all-Black tent show named Silas Green from New Orleans, which became one of the longest-running tent shows in history. He called himself "The Black P.T. Barnum". In 1897, the Freeman newspaper described him as "the only Negro circus owner in America."
Biography
Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Williams spent his formative years in Medford, Wisconsin. In Wisconsin Williams worked at the Briggs Hotel and the "saloon business" and took up "horse training as a hobby." Williams became an accomplished horse trainer, horse performer, and magician under his stage name of Professor Eph. He invested in his first circus in Appleton, Wisconsin, the Ferguson and Williams Monster Show in 1885. While stranded in Iowa, he partnered with Frank Skerbeck and his family, German trapeze artists and sword swallowers to tour small towns under the name Professor Williams' Consolidated American and German Railroad Shows. Based in Wisconsin, this show was made up of fifteen railroad cars, fifty horses, and 150 people, and would tour every season until 1893.
He had an absence from touring until 1896 when he returned to Medford to run the bar at the Hotel Winchester. In 1897, the Freeman newspaper reported that he was "the only Negro circus owner in America" and owned 200 Arabian horses and employed 75 men. In 1901, he moved to Milwaukee where he opened William's Great Northern Shows.
By the summer of 1908, while in Phoebus, Virginia, he partnered with William Baynard on Baynard's and Eph Williams' Famous Troubadours and he "started a tour across the Mason and Dixie Line for the first time in my life." By 1909 he was the sole owner of Eph Williams' Famous Troubadours. In 1913 The Crisis reported the violence faced by Black performers in the USA. In Cleveland, Mississippi some white boys struck one of the horses in the show causing it to bled and fall. A four-year-old child performer was also attacked. The majority white audience also refused to pay for their tickets and the dressing room of the female performers in the company had to be guarded to keep out white men.
After losing his "dog-and-pony circus" in bad weather, he invested in the Silas Green from New Orleans, originally owned by Salem Tutt Whitney. Under Williams' ownership it became the longest-running Black-owned show, until it passed into white ownership after Williams died.
Personal life
In 1892 he married Rhoda Amelia Black (c.1862 - 1918), they had four children. She would often travel with the shows; the Freeman described her as "one of the ablest business women of her race". One of their daughters, Josephine, billed as "Little Baby Josephine", was also a child performer.

76397351 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergii%20Ivanov | Sergii Ivanov | Sergii Volodymyrovych Ivanov (; born 26 August 1976, Zymohiria) is a Ukrainian black campaign manager, former prosecutor, television presenter, publicist and writer. He is the host of the ISLND TV channel, founded by pro-Russian propagandist and black campaign manager Volodymyr Petrov.
He is the son of Volodymyr Ivanov, a former Ukrainian MP from the pro-Russian Party of Regions.
A number of Ukrainian media, journalists and politicians call Ivanov a "black campaign manager" and a "media killer", and describe his activities as "political advertorial".
Early life
He was born on 26 August 1976 in the Luhansk Oblast of the Ukrainian SSR.
Sergii Ivanov's father is Volodymyr Mykhailovych Ivanov. He was born in Russia, in the village of Elgen, Magadan Oblast. From 1998 to 2006, he was a deputy of the Luhansk Oblast Council, followed by party work. In 2006–2007, he was a member of the Verkhovna Rada of the V convocation from the pro-Russian Party of Regions. For many years, he served as deputy head of the Luhansk Regional State Administration, in particular during the period when the RSA was headed by pro-Russian politician Oleksandr Yefremov, who fled to Russia and is accused of treason by the Security Service of Ukraine. The media estimated the wealth of Sergii Ivanov's father at $55 million and considered him one of the richest people in Luhansk Oblast. Ivanov himself, however, denies that his parents were rich.
Education
In 1998, he graduated from East Ukrainian National University with a degree in law. He qualified as a lawyer.
Career
In 2008, he was dismissed from the post of prosecutor in Luhansk Oblast for alcoholism, and after Viktor Yanukovych won the election in 2010, he became a deputy department head at the Main Department of the Ministry of Revenues and Duties in Luhansk Oblast, where he controlled the circulation of excisable goods, such as alcohol and tobacco.
Media activities
From May 2014 to November 2015, he worked with the publication Ukrainska Pravda.
Since December 2014, he has been working with the online publication Censor.net as a journalist and blogger. He has written articles for various media outlets, including: Focus, Liga.net.
Since 2016, he has participated in the broadcasts of Roman Skrypin's author project, skrypin.ua and UMN. In early September 2016, he headed the Espreso TV portal.
From the beginning of October 2016 to July 2019, Ivanov, together with Nataliia Moseichuk, hosted the talk show Right to Power on 1+1 TV channel. Since autumn 2019, he has been hosting his own programme Antipodes. The programme is broadcast on the Iceland TV channel and the ISLND TV YouTube channel.
Advertorial
In 2020, Sergii Ivanov released a documentary called The Battle for Irpin about the former mayor of Irpin, Volodymyr Karpliuk.
The Detector Media publication and the editor-in-chief of the Chesno civic movement website, Iryna Fedoriv, called Sergii Ivanov's film an example of "what a political advertorial can look like." Former Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko and MP of the 8th convocation Olha Chervakova also commented on certain episodes of the film. Although Karpliuk criticises them in the film, the author of the film did not present their point of view on the events.
Cooperation with Kyrylo Tymoshenko
In November 2020, Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, said that Ivanov was working for the Office of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a group of bloggers who spread information about positive policy trends on social media. Sergii Ivanov himself denied this.
According to sources of Babel media in the Office of the President of Ukraine, Sergii Ivanov worked with former Deputy Head of the Presidential Office Kyrylo Tymoshenko. When asked by Babel when Ivanov and Petrov stopped working with the Presidential Office, a source in the Office said that "they were both brought in by the former deputy head of the Presidential Office, Kyrylo Tymoshenko. They left with him".
On 15 December 2021, together with Volodymyr Petrov and former hosts of Viktor Medvedchuk's closed pro-Russian TV channels, Ivanov started working as a host on the renewed Rada TV channel. However, after several high-profile on-air scandals, Petrov was suspended from broadcasting. Ivanov worked at the channel for a short time, but he was also fired later. According to an investigation by Bihus.Info journalists, a company associated with Kyrylo Tymoshenko was responsible for the financial support of the renewed Rada TV channel. It received tens of millions of hryvnias from the state budget for PR of representatives of the Presidential Office, and according to Bihus.Info's analysis, Tymoshenko was the one who was shown on the air the most.
On 16 January 2024, Servant of the People MP Maryana Bezuhla said that the Card Office Telegram channel, which was the first to spread information about the provocation near the apartment of investigative journalist Yuriy Nikolov, was run by Sergii Ivanov together with Volodymyr Petrov. Earlier, the Detector Media portal wrote that the Card Office was linked to Kyrylo Tymoshenko.
Scandals
On 15 April 2021, on the air of the Ivanov Live programme on the ISLND TV, Ivanov described how activists on social media condemn opinion leaders who come to his show. He focused on the personality of activist Mykola Vyhovskyi, co-founder of the Euromaidan Public Sector, the Reanimation Package of Reforms Coalition, and former coordinator of the Chesno civic movement. Ivanov said that, according to the open data portal Opendatabot, Vyhovskyi was allegedly entered into the register of the Ministry of Justice as a child support debtor. But Mykola Vyhovskyi never married and had no children. Ivanov explained his position to the Detector Media portal. He did not deny that he could have made a mistake, adding that Vyhovskyi was to blame because he was a guest on Ivanov's programme. Ivanov also stated that he was not going to apologise for slandering Vyhovskyi.
On 7 September 2023, in his investigation into Danylo Hetmantsev, Sergii Ivanov claimed that Ukrainian journalists Serhiy Rudenko, Vitaly Portnikov and Myroslava Barchuk were involved in the poisoning of the third president of Ukraine, Viktor Yushchenko. An infographic titled "FSB agents — participants in the poisoning of Yushchenko" was shown in the first minutes of the story about Hetmantsev. When this infographic is shown on the screen, Ivanov talks about "media groups of oligarchs and collaborators who are wanted, whose TV channels have either been deprived of their broadcasting licences or have been thrown out of the information space for anti-Ukrainian activities". Ivanov claims that these media groups are part of Hetmantsev's "business conglomerate".
Ivanov's accusation of Viktor Yushchenko's poisoning of Ukrainian journalists caused a stir in the media community. Olha Len, a journalist of the Espreso TV channel, reminded that "the channel did not exist in 2004", and Ivanov, who used to work in the Espreso editorial office, "could have known this". The journalist also noticed that at the same time as Ivanov, pro-Russian TV presenter Diana Panchenko, who is suspected by the Security Service of Ukraine of justifying Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, mentioned Yushchenko. MP Volodymyr Ariev said that in 2004, when he worked in the Ukrainian media, he conducted a journalistic investigation into the poisoning of Yushchenko. "I collaborated with Christiane Amanpour, who made a story for the 60 Minutes programme. So I will say simply: everything Ivanov said has nothing to do with reality," Ariev added. MP Oleksiy Honcharenko compared Ivanov's work to the way Nazi ideologues acted.
During 2023–2024, in co-authorship with Volodymyr Petrov, on the ISLND TV, Sergii Ivanov repeatedly made negative comments about Masha Efrosinina and the singer Alyona Alyona and humiliated them. Alyona Alyona responded to Petrov and Ivanov's statements on Instagram. She reminded that this was not the first public insult they had made against her. Masha Efrosinina also reacted to the Alyona Alyona scandal, saying that she was "perhaps the very first woman they started upholstering their misogynistic narratives". He adds that she "never drew attention to it". "For me, they are just like a street garbage can that I pass by every morning without turning my head," Efrosinina said.
Political views
After the start of the War in Donbas and after he moving from Luhansk to Kyiv, Ivanov refused to help Ukrainian security forces prosecute Luhansk separatists because "it was not profitable for him". This information was confirmed by the executive director of the Myrotvorets, Roman Zaitsev. In a conversation with Zaitsev, Ivanov said that "if he provides information about the separatists he knows, he will not be able to write about them in his own newspaper, which means that it is not profitable for him, especially since he is doing it to find a job". The director of the Myrotvorets also added that Ivanov said that he refused to work even with the Security Service of Ukraine if they asked him to. Moreover, even when asked to clarify the information, Ivanov categorically refused.
In 2014, Ivanov criticised Svoboda party member Iryna Farion. He stated that Russia used Farion to aggravate the situation in Donbas by provoking the language issue. But, in 2021, Ivanov changed his attitude towards Farion and recorded a complimentary interview with her, in which he did not even ask why she had categorically denied her membership of the CPSU for so many years.
Criticism
A number of Ukrainian media outlets, journalists and politicians call Ivanov a "black campaign manager" and a "media killer", and describe his activities as "political advertorial".
The NGO Stop Corruption calls Ivanov a "pro-Russian blogger".
The online media Babel notes that Sergii Ivanov uses "incriminating signs" in his stories "instead of facts". The journalist and editor-in-chief of Babel, Kateryna Kobernyk, ironically emphasises that "in an investigation about Sergii Ivanov, if it were made by Sergii Ivanov, Andy Warhol appears. Don't ask why - it's obvious."
Journalist of Pershyi Myroslava Barchuk called one of Ivanov's stories, which received almost a quarter of a million views on YouTube, "an order from one government official against another", and called Ivanov himself an "information killer".
MP and journalist Volodymyr Ariev calls Ivanov's activities "fierce, lying propaganda of the 'Poroshenko-killed-his-brother' level".
Natalia Lygachova, editor-in-chief of the Detector Media portal, called Sergii Ivanov and Volodymyr Petrov "black campaign manager".
Ukrainian journalist Dmytro Gordon calls Sergei Ivanov "the closest ally and friend" of pro-Russian propagandist Volodymyr Petrov. According to Gordon, Ivanov and Petrov are "media killers working for Russia", and compares their activities to those of pro-Russian blogger Anatoly Shariy, who is suspected of treason. "I would very much like the public to see a meeting between Shariy, Petrov and Ivanov in a pre-trial detention centre. I would like them to meet face-to-face and tell us what kind of money they received from the Kremlin," Gordon said. On 26 February 2024, Dmytro Gordon published an extensive investigation into the activities of Sergii Ivanov and Volodymyr Petrov. According to Gordon, "after this investigation, the Security Service of Ukraine will deal with Petrov and Ivanov".
According to Olesia Batsman, editor-in-chief of the Gordon online publication and journalist, if we forgive Ivanov and Petrov for their media activities, "we will wake up in a society where such media freaks will raise media freaks-necrophiles like themselves".
According to MP and politician Oleksiy Honcharenko, "the fact that Petrov and Ivanov are at large is a failure of law enforcement agencies". Following the publication of the investigation by journalist Dmytro Gordon, Oleksiy Honcharenko filed a deputy appeal asking the Security Service of Ukraine to provide a legal assessment of the bloggers' actions outlined in the investigation and "do everything necessary to stop their anti-Ukrainian activities".

76397493 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oreocarya%20suffruticosa | Oreocarya suffruticosa | Oreocarya suffruticosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae, native to the west and central United States and to northern Mexico. It was first described by John Torrey in 1827 as Myosotis suffruticosa and transferred to Oreocarya by Edward Lee Greene in 1887. Varieties of Oreocarya suffruticosa have previously been placed within several species of Cryptantha, including Cryptantha cinerea, Cryptantha jamesii and Cryptantha pustulosa.
Taxonomy
Oreocarya suffruticosa was first described (as Myosotis suffruticosa) by John Torrey in 1827. It was transferred to the genus Oreocarya by Edward Lee Greene in 1889. Starting in the 1920s, a broad circumscription of the genus Cryptantha was adopted by many botanists, and taxa recognized as varieties of Oreocarya suffruticosa were placed in several species of Cryptantha and their subtaxa, including Cryptantha cinerea, Cryptantha jamesii and Cryptantha pustulosa. A molecular phylogenetic study in 2012 showed that when Cryptantha was broadly circumscribed, it was not monophyletic, and Oreocarya was resurrected (along with some other genera). Oreocarya suffruticosa was divided into five varieties.
Varieties
, Plants of the World Online accepted five varieties:
Oreocarya suffruticosa var. arenicola (L.C.Higgins & S.L.Welsh) R.B.Kelley – synonyms include Cryptantha cinerea var. arenicola
Oreocarya suffruticosa var. laxa (J.F.Macbr.) R.B.Kelley – synonyms include Cryptantha cinerea var. laxa and Cryptantha jamesii var. laxa
Oreocarya suffruticosa var. pustulosa (Rydb.) R.B.Kelley – synonyms include Cryptantha cinerea var. pustulosa, Cryptantha jamesii var. pustulosa and Cryptantha pustulosa
Oreocarya suffruticosa var. setosa (M.E.Jones) R.B.Kelley – synonyms include Cryptantha cinerea and four varieties of Cryptantha jamesii
Oreocarya suffruticosa var. suffruticosa – synonyms include Cryptantha cinerea var. jamesii and Cryptantha jamesii
Distribution
Oreocarya suffruticosa is native to Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Wyoming in the United States, and to northeastern and northwestern Mexico.
Uses
Among the Zuni people, the powdered root of Oreocarya suffruticosa var. suffruticosa (syn. Cryptantha cinerea var. jamesii) is used to relieve a sore anus.

76397503 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irene%20Koss | Irene Koss | Irene Koss (3 August 1928; Hamburg – 1 May 1996; Munich) was a German actor and the first television announcer in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Life
Koss was the daughter of a Hamburg cigar merchant. After ballet lessons and acting training, Irene Koss made her debut together with Hardy Krüger in the comedy Der zerbrochne Krug at the Landesbühne Hannover in 1946. She was later engaged at the Hamburg Kammerspiele. Among others, she played together with Lil Dagover.
When Northwestdeutscher Rundfunk (NWDR) was looking for a female programme announcer in 1950, Koss was selected by Hanns Farenburg as a suitable "television face". She made her first television announcement on New Year's Eve 1950 at 8 p.m. as part of NWDR's first experimental broadcasts; the number of viewers was presumably three. When the regular programme began broadcasting on 25 December 1952, she also hosted the show. In an audience survey conducted at the beginning of 1953 on the most popular announcers, she was ahead of her colleague Angelika Feldmann and male colleagues such as Hugo Murero, Udo Langhoff and Jürgen Roland, some of whom were judged rather unfavourably by the audience. Initially she received a salary of 20 DM per day of announcing, later she was employed by NDR until 1962 and at the same time directed the television children's programme as an author and presenter. She also worked as a narrator for various record productions and wrote children's books such as Schnurzelpurz (1959). In 1961 and 1962, she received the Silver Bravo Otto from the youth magazine Bravo.
Irene Koss had been married to the sports reporter and director Sammy Drechsel since 1962 and lived in Munich after her marriage. She and her husband had two daughters together. After Drechsel's death in 1986, she worked behind the scenes at the Lach- und Schießgesellschaft he founded and built up the cabaret's archive.
She died on 1 May 1996 as a result of cancer. The couple's common grave is located at the Münchner Nordfriedhof (grave wall right no. 244).

Conspiracy theories
Gardner Island hypothesis
The Gardner Island hypothesis assumes that Earhart and Noonan, unable to find Howland Island, would not waste time searching for it, instead turning to the south to look for other islands. The 157/337 radio transmission suggests they flew a course of 157° that would take them past Baker Island; if they missed this, then sometime later they would fly over the Phoenix Islands, now part of the Republic of Kiribati, about south-southeast of Howland Island. One of the Phoenix Islands, known as Gardner Island (now Nikumaroro), has been the subject of inquiry as a possible crash-landing site.
A week after Earhart disappeared, Navy planes from USS Colorado (which had sailed from Pearl Harbor) searched Gardner Island. The planes saw signs of recent habitation and the November 1929 wreck of the , but did not see any signs of Earhart's plane or people. After the Navy ended its search, G. P. Putnam undertook a search in the Phoenix Group and other islands, but nothing was found.
In October 1937, Eric Bevington and Henry E. Maude visited Gardner with some potential settlers. A group walked all the way around the island, but did not find a plane or other evidence.
In December 1938, laborers landed on the island and started constructing a settlement.
In late 1939, did a survey of the island.
Around April 1940, a skull was discovered and buried, but British colonial officer Gerald Gallagher did not learn of it until September. Gallagher did a more thorough search of the discovery area, including looking for artifacts such as rings. The search found more bones, a bottle, a shoe, and a sextant box under a tree on the island's southeast corner. On September 23, 1940, Gallagher radioed his superiors that he had found a "skeleton ... possibly that of a woman", along with an old-fashioned sextant box (later revealed to have been left during a recent hydrographic survey),
The box had two apparent serial numbers on it: 3500 and 1542. In October 2018, documents discovered at the National Archives and Records Administration showed that USS Bushnell had a Brandis and Sons sextant with USNO serial number 1542 in 1938–1939, well after Earhart's disappearance. The USS Bushnell, a U.S. Navy submarine tender that was assigned to hydrographic surveys in December 1937, visited Gardner Island and surveyed the island and its lagoon using sextants around November 1939, before the box was discovered by Gallagher. A Brandis and Sons sextant with serial number 3500 would have been made around the time of World War I. Gallagher stated that the "Bones look more than four years old to me but there seems to be very slight chance that this may be remains of Amelia Earhart." He was ordered to send the remains to Fiji. On 4 April 1941, Dr. D. W. Hoodless of the Central Medical School (later named the Fiji School of Medicine) examined the bones, took measurements, and wrote a report. Using Karl Pearson's formulas for stature and the lengths of the femur, tibia, and humerus, Hoodless concluded that the person was about tall. Hoodless wrote that the skeleton "could be that of a short, stocky, muscular European, or even a half-caste, or person of mixed European descent." Earhart's 1930 pilot's license states she was and . Hoodless also wrote that "it may be definitely stated that the skeleton is that of a MALE. Owing to the weather-beaten condition of all the bones it is impossible to be dogmatic in regard to the age of the person at the time of death, but I am of the opinion that he was not less than 45 years of age and that probably he was older: say between 45 and 55 years." Earhart was just under 40 years old when she disappeared. Hoodless offered to make more detailed measurements if needed, but suggested that any further examination be done by the Anthropological Department at Sydney University. These bones were apparently misplaced in Fiji and presumed lost. Around the turn of the 21st century, researchers used Hoodless's measurements to argue against his conclusions that the bones were that of a male. In two 2015 episodes of Expedition Unknown, host Josh Gates searched under a house which had belonged to another doctor from the Fiji School of Medicine, where in 1968 the house's new owner had found a box containing bones including a skull; these were brought to a local museum and lost. Gates combed several bone fragments from the area where the box had been found; these were DNA tested and determined to belong to a male.
During World War II, US Coast Guard LORAN Unit 92, a radio navigation station built in the summer and fall of 1944, and operational from mid-November 1944 until mid-May 1945, was located on Gardner Island's southeast end. Dozens of Coast Guard personnel were involved in its construction and operation, but were mostly forbidden from leaving the small base or having contact with the Gilbertese colonists then on the island, and found no artifacts known to relate to Earhart.
In 1988, The International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery (TIGHAR) began an investigation and sent eleven research expeditions to Nikumaroro, producing inconclusive results. They have suggested that Earhart and Noonan may have flown without further radio transmissions for two and a half hours along the line of position Earhart noted in her last transmission received at Howland, then found the then-uninhabited Gardner Island, landed the Electra on an extensive reef flat near the wreck of a large freighter (the SS Norwich City) on the northwest side of the atoll, and ultimately perished.
Artifacts discovered by TIGHAR on Nikumaroro have included improvised tools, an aluminum panel, an oddly cut piece of clear Plexiglas, and a size-9 woman's shoe heel. Recently rediscovered photos of Earhart's Electra just before departure in Miami show an aluminum panel over a window on the right side. Ric Gillespie, head of TIGHAR, claimed that the aluminum panel artifact has the same dimensions and rivet pattern as the one shown in the photo "to a high degree of certainty". Based on this new evidence, Gillespie returned to the atoll in June 2015, but operations using a remotely operated underwater vehicle to investigate a sonar detection of a possible wreckage were hampered by technical problems. Further, a review of sonar data concluded it was most likely a coral ridge.
In July 2017, staff from the New England Air Museum notified TIGHAR that the unique rivet pattern of the aluminum panel precisely matched the top of the wing of a Douglas C-47 Skytrain in the museum inventory, particularly significant since a C-47B crashed on a nearby island during World War II and villagers acknowledged bringing aluminum from that wreck to Gardner Island.
Some consider TIGHAR's theory the most plausible Earhart-survival theory, although not proven and not accepted beyond crash-and-sink. Other sources have criticized TIGHAR as seizing on unlikely possibilities as circumstantial evidence; for example, an article criticized the suggestion that a jar of freckle ointment found on Nikumaroro might have been Earhart's, when the Electra was "virtually a flying gas station" with little room for amenities, as Earhart and Noonan carried extra gas tanks in every scrap of available space and absence of any corroborating evidence connecting the artifact to her.
The 2019 National Geographic special Expedition Amelia depicts an August 2019 search for Earhart's aircraft off Nikumaroro's reef conducted by ocean explorer Robert Ballard, who has found several ocean wrecks including the Titanic. Ballard was intrigued by documented radio signal bearings that intersect near Nikumaroro, although they were taken from different locations and at different times. Ballard's expedition had more sophisticated search equipment than TIGHAR used on its expedition in 2012.
He completed his expedition in October 2019. After days of searching the deep cliffs supporting the island and the nearby ocean, Ballard did not find any evidence of the plane or any associated wreckage of it. Allison Fundis, Ballard's chief operating officer of the expedition stated, "We felt like if her plane was there, we would have found it pretty early in the expedition."
The documentary states of the Gardner Island hypothesis that "It's a nice story. But like all the other evidence obtained here over the decades, there is no provable link to Amelia or her plane."
Japanese capture theory
Another theory is that Earhart and Noonan were captured by Japanese forces, perhaps after somehow navigating to somewhere within the Japanese South Seas Mandate.
In 1966, CBS correspondent Fred Goerner published a book claiming that Earhart and Noonan were captured and executed when their aircraft crashed on the island of Saipan, part of the Northern Mariana Islands archipelago. Saipan is more than 2,700 miles away from Howland Island, however. Later proponents of the Japanese capture hypothesis have generally suggested the Marshall Islands instead, which while still distant from the intended location (~800 miles), is slightly more possible.
In 1990, the NBC series Unsolved Mysteries broadcast an interview with a Saipanese woman who claimed to have witnessed Earhart and Noonan's execution by Japanese soldiers. No independent confirmation has ever emerged for any of these claims. Various purported photographs of Earhart during her captivity have been identified as either fraudulent or having been taken before her final flight.
A slightly different version of the Japanese capture hypothesis is not that the Japanese captured Earhart, but rather that they shot down her plane. Henri Keyzer-Andre, a former Pan Am pilot, propounded this view in his 1993 book Age Of Heroes: Incredible Adventures of a Pan Am Pilot and his Greatest Triumph, Unravelling the Mystery of Amelia Earhart.
Since the end of World War II, a location on Tinian, which is five miles (8 km) southwest of Saipan, had been rumored to be the grave of the two aviators. In 2004, an archaeological dig at the site failed to turn up any bones.
A recent proponent of this theory is Mike Campbell, who published the 2012 book Amelia Earhart: The Truth at Last in its favor. Campbell cites claims from Marshall Islanders to have witnessed a crash, as well as a U.S. Army Sergeant who found a suspicious gravesite near a former Japanese prison on Saipan.
A number of Earhart's relatives have been convinced that the Japanese were somehow involved in Amelia's disappearance, citing unnamed witnesses including Japanese troops and Saipan natives. According to one cousin, the Japanese cut the Lockheed Electra into scrap and threw the pieces into the ocean, to explain why the airplane was not found in the Marshall Islands.
In 2017, a History Channel documentary called Amelia Earhart: The Lost Evidence, proposed that a photograph in the National Archives of Jaluit Atoll in the Marshall Islands was actually a picture of a captured Earhart and Noonan. The picture showed a Caucasian male on a dock who appeared to look like Noonan and a woman sitting on the dock but facing away from the camera, who was judged to have a physique and haircut resembling Earhart's. The documentary theorizes that the photo was taken after Earhart and Noonan crashed at Mili Atoll. The documentary also said that physical evidence recovered from Mili matches pieces that could have fallen off an Electra during a crash or subsequent overland move to a barge. The Lost Evidence proposed that a Japanese ship seen in the photograph was the Koshu Maru, a Japanese military ship. The Lost Evidence was quickly discredited, however, after Japanese blogger Kota Yamano found the original source of the photograph in the Archives in the National Diet Library Digital Collection. The original source of the photo was a Japanese travel guide published in October 1935, implying that the photograph was taken in 1935 or before, and thus would be unrelated to Earhart and Noonan's 1937 disappearance. Additionally, the researcher who discovered the photo also identified the ship in the right of the photo as another ship called Koshu, seized by Allied Japanese forces during World War I, and not the Koshu Maru.
A common criticism of all versions of the Japanese capture hypothesis is that the Japanese-controlled Marshall Islands were considerably distant from Howland Island. To reach and land there would have required Earhart and Noonan, though low on fuel, to change her northeast course as she neared Howland Island and fly hundreds of miles northwest, a feat "not supported by the basic rules of geography and navigation." Additionally, had the Japanese found a crashed Earhart and Noonan, they would have had substantial motivation to rescue the famous aviators and be hailed as heroes.
Myths, legends, and claims
The unresolved circumstances of Earhart's disappearance, along with her fame, attracted a great body of other claims relating to her last flight. Several unsupported theories have become known in popular culture.
Spies for FDR
The World War II-era movie Flight for Freedom (1943) is a story of a fictional female aviator (obviously inspired by Earhart) who engages in a spying mission in the Pacific. The movie helped further a myth that Earhart was spying on the Japanese in the Pacific at the request of the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration. By 1949, both the United Press and U.S. Army Intelligence had concluded that this rumor was groundless. Jackie Cochran, another pioneering aviator and one of Earhart's friends, made a postwar search of numerous files in Japan and was convinced that the Japanese were not involved in Earhart's disappearance.
Tokyo Rose
A rumor that claimed that Earhart had made propaganda radio broadcasts as one of the many women compelled to serve as Tokyo Rose was investigated closely by George Putnam. According to several biographies of Earhart, Putnam investigated this rumor personally but after listening to many recordings of numerous Tokyo Roses, he did not recognize her voice among them.
New Britain
The theory that Earhart may have turned back mid-flight has been posited. She would then have tried to reach the airfield at Rabaul, New Britain (northeast of mainland Papua New Guinea), approximately from Howland.
In 1990, Donald Angwin, a veteran of the Australian Army's World War II campaign in New Britain, contacted researchers to suggest that a wrecked aircraft he had witnessed in jungle about southwest of Rabaul, on April 17, 1945, may have been Earhart's Electra.
Angwin, who had been a corporal in the 11th Battalion at the time,
reported that he and other members of a forward patrol on Japanese-occupied New Britain had found a wrecked twin-engined, unpainted all-metal aircraft. The soldiers recorded a rough position on a map, along with serial numbers seen on the wreckage. The map was found in the possession of another veteran in 1993, but subsequent searches of the area indicated failed to find a wreck.
Angwin died in 2001. David Billings, an Australian aircraft engineer, has continued to investigate his theory. Billings claims that the serial numbers written on the map, "600H/P S3HI C/N1055", represent:
a Pratt & Whitney R-1340-S3H1 model engine; and
"Constructor's Number 1055", an airframe identifier.
These would be consistent with a Lockheed Electra 10E, such as that flown by Earhart, although they do not contain enough information to identify the wreck in question as NR16020.
Pacific Wrecks, a website that documents World War II-era aircraft crash sites, notes that no Electra has been reported lost in or around Papua New Guinea. Ric Gillespie of TIGHAR believes that based on Earhart's last estimated position, somewhat close to Howland Island, it was impossible for the aircraft to end up at New Britain, and over 13 hours' flight time away.
Assuming another identity
In November 2006, the National Geographic Channel aired episode two of the Undiscovered History series about a claim that Earhart survived the world flight, moved to New Jersey, changed her name, remarried and became Irene Craigmile Bolam. This claim had originally been raised in the book Amelia Earhart Lives (1970) by author Joe Klaas, based on the research of Major Joseph Gervais. Irene Bolam, who had been a banker in New York during the 1940s, denied being Earhart, filed a lawsuit requesting $1.5 million in damages and submitted a lengthy affidavit in which she rebutted the claims. The book's publisher, McGraw-Hill, withdrew the book from the market shortly after it was released and court records indicate that the company reached an out-of-court settlement with her. Subsequently, Bolam's personal life history was thoroughly documented by researchers, eliminating any possibility that she was Earhart. Kevin Richlin, a professional criminal forensic expert hired by National Geographic, studied photographs of both women and cited many measurable facial differences between Earhart and Bolam.

76397605 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaby%20Schaunig | Gaby Schaunig | Gabriele "Gaby" Schaunig-Kandut (born 3 May 1965, in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee) is an Austrian lawyer, politician from the (SPÖ) and since 2013 state councilor in the Carinthian state government Kaiser II, responsible for finance, investments, development and research since 2018. Since 13 April 2023, she has been 1st Deputy Governor, previously she was 2nd Deputy Governor.
Life
Gaby Schaunig began studying law at Universität Graz in 1983, and completed with sponsion (master's degree) in 1987 and a doctorate in 1989. In addition to her work as a contract assistant and lecturer at the University of Graz (until 1993), she worked for the Chamber for Workers and Employees for Carinthia from 1990. From 2008 to 2011 she worked as a trainee lawyer. After passing the bar exam in 2011, she became a self-employed lawyer.
Politics
From 1999, Gaby Schaunig was the provincial councillor for social affairs in the Carinthian provincial government. In the fall of 2005, she was elected party leader of the SPÖ Carinthia, replacing Peter Ambrozy, who had been unsuccessful in three provincial elections against Jörg Haider. She also took over his post as deputy governor on 23 November 2005. Following the termination of the working agreement with the BZÖ (formerly FPÖ) on 28 February 2006, she sought new elections and the office of provincial governor.
On 8 July 2008, Schaunig surprisingly announced her retirement from politics and thus her resignation as provincial party leader of the SPÖ Carinthia and deputy governor. Schaunig's successor in both functions was the then provincial councillor Reinhart Rohr. In a press conference, Schaunig cited Jörg Haider as the main reason for her resignation. He had introduced a "political lack of culture", as a result of which she was no longer prepared "to work in Jörg Haider's environment and his entourage".
As state councillor for social affairs, Gaby Schaunig was particularly committed to the circumstances and living conditions of people with cognitive disabilities. She drew up and published a needs and development plan to remove people with disabilities from large care facilities and implement the normalization principle. Through its commitment, the Caritas. Team Lebensgestaltung was also able to implement social space-oriented facilities for severely disabled adults.
In 2013, she returned to politics and has held the office of second deputy governor under Peter Kaiser since March 2013. From 2013 to 2018, she was responsible for the following departments: Finance, Housing, Municipalities, Employee Promotion. She is the technology officer of the state of Carinthia. From March 2015, she negotiated with the creditors of the wind-down bank HETA on behalf of the state of Carinthia. The negotiations were successfully concluded in 2016.
In the 32nd Legislative Period, Schaunig was responsible for the areas of finance, investments, development and research in the State Government Kaiser II as 2nd Deputy Governor and State Councillor from 12 April 2018.
Private life
Gaby Schaunig is married and lives in the Wölfnitz district of Klagenfurt. She has one daughter.

76397723 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLASH%20Radiotherapy | FLASH Radiotherapy | FLASH radiotherapy is an emerging form of radiotherapy which delivers a high dose of radiation to the patient in an ultra-short time frame which produces a tumour killing effect comparable to conventional radiotherapy but with less damage to surrounding healthy tissue. The treatment is in the early stages of development and is not yet widely available as a form of cancer therapy.
FLASH-RT development
Research into high-dose radiotherapy yielding cells which were more resistant to radiation was first performed in the 1950s, but without any breakthrough achievements, research dwindled after the 1960s.. However, in 2014 a research paper published by V. Favaudon et al. coined the term FLASH, which was defined as irradiating tissue with a dose ≥ 40 Gy/s. The research involved comparing conventional radiotherapy performed on mice to FLASH radiotherapy administered using a linear electron accelerator (LINAC) able to generate 4.5 MeV electrons with a high beam current, such that a high dose could be administered by a single beam in less than 500ms. This research showed that when compared to CONV-RT, the onset and progression of pneumonia and pulmonary fibrosis were measurably inhibited following a solitary exposure to 17 Gy FLASH-RT, yet the effect on a tumour was comparable. More recently, in 2019 first human FLASH-RT treatment was performed at Lausanne University Hospital, which concluded that FLASH-RT was both feasible and safe. Subsequently, in 2023 the first clinical trial of FLASH-RT was performed at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. The trial focussed on bone metastases of 12 patients with an age range of 27-81 years old, and a 50/50 split in sex, it concluded that FLASH-RT was clinically feasible and that the findings supported further exploration into FLASH-RT.
Comparison of FLASH-RT and CONV-RT
Oxygen depletion hypothesis
The increased radiosensitivity of cells in an oxygenated environment compared to a hypoxic one is known as the oxygen effect, this is the basis of one of the first and most widely investigated hypotheses which could explain the FLASH effect. Many research papers have been published investigating whether FLASH RT creates a hypoxic environment in healthy tissue, which makes it less radiosensitive. The oxygen depletion is caused by radiolysis of water molecules, where water breaks down into hydrogen peroxide, hydrogen radicals and other oxygen compounds. Since cancer cells are already hypoxic, by inducing a hypoxic environment in the healthy tissue, the radiosensitivity of the healthy tissue is decreased but does not affect the response of the cancer cells. Although this hypothesis was widely believed to be the main cause of the FLASH effect in early research, more recent studies have shown that oxygen depletion is a factor in the FLASH effect, but it is most certainly not the main mechanism.
Blood volume as a target for FLASH radiotherapy
Since blood is constantly flowing around the human body, during CONV-RT a large volume of this blood is expected to be irradiated. A possible reason for FLASH-RT sparing normal tissues is that a lower total blood volume is irradiated when compared with CONV-RT. Blood carries more than just oxygen throughout the body, it contains immune cells which help to fight infection and disease. Multiple studies have investigated this possibility, one being Jin. et al., 2020, where it was observed that circulating blood cells experienced a significantly lower impact during FLASH-RT, resulting in the killing of only 5-10% of cells, in contrast, CONV-RT exhibited a much more substantial effect, leading to the death of 90-100% of cells. Aside from immune cells, studies have shown that the proinflammatory signalling in the form of the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines is reduced during FLASH-RT when compared to CONV-RT
Stem cell niche preservation
Adult stem cells are found throughout the human body in locations known as niches. These cells multiply by cell division to replenish dying cells and regenerate tissue. These cells are essential for recovery from certain forms of cancer such as leukemia, where some treatment plans can involve stem cell transplants. A more recent hypothesis which may explain the FLASH effect is that hypoxic stem cell niches are preserved more readily through FLASH RT. Pratx and Kapp, 2019, suggest that stem cells which reside in a hypoxic niche are relatively radioresistant, but whenever surrounding tissue is damaged, the stem cells become more oxygenated and therefore more radiosensitive . This theory suggests that as FLASH-RT is delivered in a single, ultra-short dose, the stem cells do not have time to react to the damage done to the surrounding tissue, therefore maintaining their radio-resistance and increasing the overall survivability of the niche.

76397751 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sportclub%20Arena | Sportclub Arena | Sportclub Arena is an association football stadium in Verl, Germany, and the home ground of 3. Liga club SC Verl. Following the most recent renovation in 2023 the ground has a capacity of 5,207.
History
The Sportclub Arena was built in 1994 following SC Verl's qualification for the newly created Regionalliga West/Südwest. The stadium was built to fulfill the requirements of the DFB at the time. Following nearly 25 years of participation in the Regionalliga, Verl was promoted to the 3. Liga in the 2019-20 season. The Sportclub Arena did not meet the requirements to be Verl's home ground after their promotion from the Regionalliga West to the 3. Liga, and the club was forced to carry out its home matches in Lotte at the Stadion am Lotter Kreuz. During the 2022-23 season, SC Verl played its home matches in Home Deluxe Arena in Paderborn.
The DFB announced that starting in the 2023-24 season the minimum required capacity of 3. Liga stadiums would be reduced from 10,001 to 5,001, as a part of the DFB's "3. Liga Economic Task Force". After this announcement, renovation works began in 2022 to bring the ground up to 3. Liga standards. These works cost roughly 8 million euros, and included the installation of undersoil heating and floodlight upgrades.
Records
The record for highest attendance in the 3. Liga at the Sportclub Arena is 5,207, set on October 3, 2023, in a match between Verl and Arminia Bielefeld. Verl won the sold-out match 3:1, with goals scored by Oliver Batista Meier, Nico Ochojski and Yari Otto.
Transport
The stadium is served by the local bus network line 73. Travelling by train to the ground is not recommended by SC Verl as the nearest rail station, the Gütersloh Central Station, is 12 kilometers away from the ground.

76397762 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaetano%20Longo | Gaetano Longo | Gaetano Longo ( 1865 – 14 September 1900) was an Italian man who murdered ten people and injured one in an hour-long mass shooting in Pastena, Lazio, Kingdom of Italy, on 14 September 1900, after suspecting his wife of infidelity.
Background
In 1899 or early 1900, ex-soldier Gaetano Longo emigrated to New York, United States, in hopes of improving his living conditions. His wife Annunziata ( 1873–1900) was left behind in Italy, with Longo promising to bring her to the U.S. as soon as he was able. While Longo was away, Annunziata allegedly had several affairs with men in the village. Longo was then made aware of this by someone she had slighted. Angered by the letter, he returned to Italy on 11 June, and, rather than going home, spent several weeks in the nearby town of Caserta to gather evidence before enacting revenge.
Murder spree
On 14 September 1900, Longo returned to Pastena. His first victim was his wife's alleged lover, a man from a wealthy family named Giovanni Marozzi. Longo struck up a conversation with Marozzi as he was walking down the street and suddenly pulled a revolver from his pocket and shot Marozzi in the heart, killing him on the spot.
Longo then visited a village washhouse, where his wife and a mutual friend named Luigia worked. Annunziata and Luigia, frightened by Longo's sudden appearance and overly calm demeanor, attempted to run away after being greeted. The women were chased into a corner and fatally shot, with Annunziata dying from a gunshot to the heart.
After murdering his wife, Longo went to a corn field in the nearby village of Ponte Nuovo and shot Giovanni Marozzi's two younger brothers who worked in the field, Pio and Gaspare. Shortly after, Angela, the wife of Gaspare, brought supper to the field for her husband. Longo knocked her to the ground and shot her in the heart. Next, while walking home through the village, Longo was greeted by Marozzi's sister, Giovanninia, who was unaware of what was unfolding. Longo suddenly grabbed her by her braids and shot her in the throat.
Longo, compelled to continue his rampage, visited a farmhouse where the Persicone brothers worked. Although they were all friends from childhood, Longo heard rumors that they had attempted to woo his wife while he was gone. Gennaro Persicone, happy to see Longo back, went inside to fetch wine, cheese, and bread for them. Longo took a rifle off the wall, and after loading and inspecting it, shot Gennaro in the chest. Gennaro's parents heard the gunshots and rushed to the scene; both were also immediately shot. One of the parents survived and pursued Longo.
By this time, the village was aware of the murders and who was likely responsible. Around 6 pm, Longo visited an isolated farmhouse where Fabiana Saraceno, a 26-year-old mother of seven, lived with her husband. Longo met her at a window and yelled, "Curse you, if you had married me when I asked you, my wife wouldn't have betrayed me, and I would be a happy man. Instead, everything is dark around me, and misfortune dogs my footsteps. Give me your hand and say that you are sorry." Fabiana refused and told him that she wouldn't "even shake hands with [him]." Longo replied, "nor with anyone else," and killed her on the spot with his revolver.
Longo, at this point being pursued by many, committed suicide in a cemetery near the location of his first murder. Despite him having a bullet lodged in his brain, no weapon was found nearby, leading to speculation that he was murdered by an unknown villager.
