76403666 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin%20Megami%20Tensei%3A%2020XX | Shin Megami Tensei: 20XX | Shin Megami Tensei: 20XX is a role-playing video game developed and published by Atlus. It is part of their Megami Tensei series, and is a prequel to the 1994 game Shin Megami Tensei II, taking place decades earlier. It was released for Japanese feature phones starting on August 26, 2004, and was followed by the spin-off game Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Colosseum 20XX in 2007.
The game follows a boy in the Valhalla district of Tokyo Millennium, who is helped by a man to gain strength in exchange for helping him take down the woman in charge of the district. The player takes the role of the boy and a girl accompanying him, and navigates dungeons in a first-person perspective while fighting and negotiating with demons. The game was well received for its branching story and the complexity of its demon fusion mechanics, and was a success, with 100,000 downloads as of 2007.
Gameplay
Shin Megami Tensei: 20XX is a role-playing video game in which the player, taking the role of a boy accompanied by a girl, navigates 3D dungeons in a first-person perspective. As they do so, they encounter enemy demons that they can fight, earning them money and experience points, increasing the player characters' level and making them stronger. If an ally falls in battle, they can no longer fight until they are either revived by magic or taken to a facility that offers healing.
The player can also choose to negotiate with demons of the same level or lower than the boy, to try to recruit them to their party; this might involve choosing the right dialogue options, or giving the demons money or items that they want. Once the player has recruited demons, they can visit the Cathedral of Shadows to fuse multiple allied demons into single stronger ones. The player can also fuse demons with swords, or multiple swords together, to create new equipment for the player character to use in battle.
Throughout the game, the player gets to make choices which affect the boy's alignment – law, neutral, or chaos – and the direction of the plot, eventually resulting in one of several endings; reaching one ending takes an estimated twenty hours. The alignment also affects which demon allies are available to the player, and which facilities they can visit.
Premise
Shin Megami Tensei: 20XX is a prequel to Shin Megami Tensei II, set decades prior in the Valhalla residential area of Tokyo Millennium, a futuristic city rife with violence, built atop the ruins of Tokyo after a nuclear explosion, that is controlled by the Center. It follows a boy who wishes to become strong, who is introduced by his friend Moss to a man who tells him about the conflict between the Messians and the Ring of Gaea. The man offers to help him attain strength in exchange for helping the man take down Madam, the woman in charge of Valhalla. The boy accepts, and begins training in a gym to become colosseum champion. After his trainer asks him to experience a real battle in the underground arcade, he meets and teams up with a girl who is a strong and capable fighter.
Development and release
Shin Megami Tensei: 20XX was developed and published by Atlus, with gameplay similar to previous Megami Tensei games, and graphics similar to those of the Game Boy Advance versions of Shin Megami Tensei and Shin Megami Tensei II. The game was announced in July 2004, with the release of a trailer and a Flash-based version of the game's prologue, and was released for Japanese feature phones starting on August 26, 2024, as the second Megami Tensei mobile role-playing game after Shin Megami Tensei If... Hazama-hen. It was released through the mobile game distribution service Megaten Alpha, where players could access it through a monthly subscription.
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Colosseum 20XX, a spin-off game by Bbmf, was released for Japanese feature phones on May 28, 2007, and was designed with a focus on strategic combat. It is set around the same time as 20XX, and follows a 14-year-old girl who guides demons in battle in the colosseum to rise through the ranks while trying to find out what happened to her missing twin brother. Like with 20XX, the player's choices affect the player character's alignment and how the story ends.
Reception
Shin Megami Tensei: 20XX was a success, and had been downloaded over 100,000 times as of October 2007; according to Inside Games, players liked it for its challenge, its branching story, and for its gameplay in the tradition of early Shin Megami Tensei games. Critics were also positive: Famitsu liked its fusion system for its complexity, with the ability to fuse swords in addition to demons, and called it a "must-play" game for Shin Megami Tensei fans. NLab recommended it for its branching story with different endings, and Dengeki Online appreciated it for its original scenario, recommending it both to Megami Tensei fans broadly, and to those who had played the previous mobile game in the series, Shin Megami Tensei If... Hazama-hen.

76403771 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vorboss | Vorboss | Vorboss is a company owned by Fern Trading Ltd, headquartered in Broadgate, London, England. The company provides communications infrastructure services, including fiber and bandwidth connectivity to business customers. It was established in 2006 by Tim Creswick.
History
Vorboss was founded in 2006 by Tim Creswick as a software consultancy and managed service provider.
After Ofcom amended its limits on Openreach infrastructure use within the BT Group in 2019, competitor network builders could construct fibre lines in Openreach ducts to target enterprise users. The same year, Vorboss initiated the construction of a fibre network infrastructure in London's business district. The company invested £1m of its funds in fibre deployment, aiming to establish a fibre access network without road excavation.
In November 2020, Vorboss was acquired by Fern Trading Group (Fern Fibre Limited) for an undisclosed sum. Vorboss was added to Fern's portfolio of UK broadband network builders, securing (raising?) £250m in funding for the London deployment.
From 2020 to 2023, Vorboss invested over £300 million in a full-fibre network, offering enterprises access to fibre infrastructure. The company installed 500 km of 800 fiber optic cables in Central London with 10 to 100Gbit/s speeds that connected directly to premises (FTTP) rather than going via a copper-and-cabinet intermediary.
In 2021, Vorboss launched its training academy with the help of The Institute of Telecommunications Professionals (ITP).
In 2022, Vorboss established a 100Gbit/s connection at London's 22 Bishopsgate building, which opened in 2021 as one of the UK's tallest office buildings, offering its connectivity to tenants. It increased space for its datacenters within Interxion's London headquarters the same year and opened its new headquarters at Broadwalk House, Broadgate.
In 2023, Vorboss' CEO Tim Creswick became the ITP board of directors chair. The same year, the company hired Octopus Group Holdings board member John Browett as a new chairman, who also entered the board of Fern Trading Group.
Operations
Vorboss offers business customers in London access to 10Gbit/s dedicated fibre connectivity with the capacity to increase to 100Gbit/s.
The company has deployed 500 km of fibre-optic cables, which interconnect and branch off to go to datacenters and customer locations at 1,500 subterranean "telecom chambers" in the duct network. Only the customer premises equipment (CPE) at the enterprise's building and the routers at 26 Vorboss' datacenters are powered. There are no street cabinets above ground or power supply along cable lines.
For each requirement for technical products, the company has at least two vendors. Vorboss partners with Juniper Networks for routing platforms and RAD for fiber termination CPE units.
The company is vertically integrated, owing its infrastructure, service and software systems end-to-end.
Around 40% of Vorboss field technicians are female.
Electric Cargo Bicycle
In 2024, Vorboss announced the design of an electric cargo bicycle, which includes a secure cargo area and an engineer workstation. The bike is equipped to splice fibre, adapting the company's fleet operation to the restrictions of London's Clean Air Zone.
The bicycle is electric, pedal-powered, and pavement-mountable, containing all equipment and instruments required to connect consumers to the Vorboss network. Except for environmental responsibility, the company's efforts align its operations with the city's green initiatives.

The nebula is located in the Constellation Cassiopeia, approximately 6,000 light-years from Earth and is adjacent to the much larger Heart Nebula. The brighter region of the nebula is designated NGC 896 and is the home to many young and large stars. These stars radiate high amounts of ultraviolet light. This UV radiation excites the surrounding gas and causes it to shine at a high brightness. This mapping is known as false color and is common with many of the Hubble Space Images.

Biography
Nazir Ahmed was born in Fazilpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, to a family that had originally resided in Tehang, Jalandhar district, before moving to Faisalabad and eventually settling in Dera Ghazi Khan.
Nazir began his political career after he was introduced to Jamaat-e-Islami literature by a friend. He defeated Sir Mohammed Khan Leghari, the father of former president Farooq Leghari, in the 1970 Pakistani general elections for a National Assembly of Pakistan constituency representing Dera Ghazi Khan.
Two assassination attempts were made in June 1972, with the first on June 6, 1972 which he survived. On June 8, 1972, Nazir was assassinated in his clinic in Dera Ghazi Khan, Southern Punjab, while attending to his patients. The subsequent murder investigation implicated four police officials and an alleged hired assassin. Under interrogation, the assassin confessed that the assassination had been ordered by the then Prime Minister, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, through Ghulam Mustafa Khar, the Governor of Punjab at the time, who later became a special assistant to Bhutto. The alleged motive for the murder was Ahmed's criticism of Bhutto's role in the 1971 loss of East Pakistan, which had become the independent nation of Bangladesh.

76403896 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa%20Lavi%C3%B1a | Rosa Laviña | Rosa Laviña i Carreras (1918–2011) was a Catalan anarchist activist. Exposed to anarchist ideas from a young age, she became a leading member in the Libertarian Youth (FIJL) and in Solidaridad Internacional Antifascista (SIA). After the defeat of the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, she fled to the Occitan city of Tolosa, where she used her house to host members of the Spanish Maquis. She also opened a vegetarian restaurant in the city, where she spent the rest of her life, remaining engaged in anarchist activism into old age.
Biography
Rosa Laviña i Carreras was born on 14 January 1918, in the Catalan city of Palafrugell. She was the daughter of an anarchist bookstore owner, who from an early age introduced her to the anarchist works of Mikhail Bakunin, Joan Montseny and Teresa Mañé. During the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera, she also became involved in the Esperanto movement through friends of her parents. By the time she reached adolescence, she was already working as a seamstress.
After the proclamation of the Second Spanish Republic, she joined the Libertarian Youth (FIJL) and the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT). During the Spanish Civil War, she acted as the secretary of the FIJL and as treasurer of Solidaridad Internacional Antifascista (SIA). With the fall of Catalonia in February 1939, Laviña and her mother fled the country to France and were interned in the Argelers concentration camp, where Laviña herself worked as a nurse.
In 1940, Laviña and her mother moved to the Occitan city of Tolosa, where she rendezvoused with other exiled anarcho-syndicalists and anti-fascists, becoming friends with Federica Montseny. She used her house in order to host members of the Spanish Maquis, including Ramon Vila, Marcel·lí Massana and the Sabaté brothers. Laviña herself smuggled propaganda, weapons and money into Spain. After the death of her partner Pere in 1952, she continued working with the SIA and providing aid to refugees from Spain.
She then met Etienne Guillemau, a fellow anarchist and Esperantist, with whom she opened the first vegetarian restaurant in Tortosa. She continued working with SIA and the Spanish Libertarian Movement (MLE) until the fall of the Francoist dictatorship. Even after the Spanish transition to democracy, she continued to live in Tolosa, where she remained engaged in anarchist activism into old age.
On 31 March 2011, a street in Palafrugell was renamed after Rosa Laviña. She died two months later, on 30 May 2011, in her home in Tolosa.

76403936 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laudo%20Natel | Laudo Natel | Laudo Natel (14 September 1920 – 18 May 2020) was a Brazilian politician, businessman and sports executive.
Early life and career
Son of Bento Alves Natel and Albertina Barone, Natel studied in the cities of Mirassol and Araraquara. After graduating, he began a career in the banking sector, holding a wide range of positions. He was an employee at Banco Noroeste, where he was a colleague of Amador Aguiar, which would later take him to the Banco Brasileiro de Descontos, currently Bradesco. Natel followed his friend, being for a long time his right-hand man, becoming director of the bank. He was also director of the São Paulo Commercial Association, director of the São Paulo Banks Union and president of the banking committee of the National Monetary Council.
Elected treasurer of São Paulo FC in 1952, he grew politically at the club, reaching the offices of financial director and later president. He became a patron of the club, thanks to his work in prospecting for resources to enable the construction of the Estádio do Morumbi.
Political career
In 1962, with an electoral campaign organized by Osvaldo Moles, he was elected vice-governor, running on his own accord — in the electoral system at the time, the vote for vice-governor was separate of that for governor. He was therefore elected on a ticket different from that composed by the elected governor, Adhemar de Barros. In 1965, Natel ran for mayor of the city of São Paulo, but lost the elections to Brigadeiro Faria Lima.
Laudo Natel was governor of São Paulo twice. The first, between 6 June 1966 and 31 January 1967, occurred when, as vice-governor, he replaced the then-governor Ademar de Barros after he was removed from office by the Brazilian military government. To take office, he took a leave of absence from the position of president of São Paulo FC, to which he had been elected two months earlier. In his first term in government, continuing a project by Ademar, Natel unified the eleven hydroelectric plants in São Paulo, creating the Companhia Energética de São Paulo (CESP) and modernized the state finance system, through his secretary Antônio Delfim Netto.
The second term, between 15 March 1971 and15 March1975, occurred when he was elected indirectly by the electoral college. During this period of government, he emphasized the development of the interior, with the Development Interiorization Road Plan (PROINDE), unifying the entire São Paulo railway network around the FEPASA (Ferrovia Paulista S/A), construction of the ascending runway of the Rodovia dos Imigrantes, created Sabesp and Cetesb, opened the first metro stations and prepared a plan for the development of the Vale do Ribeira.
During his term, he fired mayor of São Paulo José Carlos de Figueiredo Ferraz by letter due to numerous administrative disagreements. To justify this, he alleged that Figueiredo Ferraz had a "lack of harmony" with the State and the Union. The most accepted version is that Figueiredo Ferraz was fired for saying that São Paulo had to "stop growing".
Chosen by Palácio do Planalto, he ran for a third term in 1978, but was defeated at his party's convention (ARENA) by Paulo Maluf, who had been the Secretary of Transport in his second term. He again ran for the state government in 1982, but also lost in the primaries of the party (this time the PDS, the successor of ARENA), now to Reynaldo de Barros, then mayor of São Paulo and linked to Maluf
Tributes
In 2005, he was honored by the São Paulo FC, by having the club's new training center being named after him. Being from the countryside, Natel referred to himself as being a "caipira governor".
The Veterinary Hospital, Auxiliary Unit of the Faculty of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences (FCAV) - UNESP - Jaboticabal Campus, opened in 1974, also bears his name.
Death
Natel died on 18 May 2020, in São Paulo, four months before turning one hundred years old.

76404034 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie%20James%20Pye | Willie James Pye | Willie James Pye (born January 1965) is an American convicted murderer who was given the death penalty in 1996 for murdering his ex-girlfriend Alicia Lynn Yarbrough after he kidnapped and raped her. Pye acted together with two other people to commit a robbery at the home of Yarbrough's boyfriend, which in turn led to the murder in 1993.
Pye, who was convicted and sentenced to death three years after the crime, remained on death row for nearly 30 years before his execution is presently scheduled to take place on 20 March 2024. His case became a point of controversy due to the alleged inadequate legal representation he received during the trial, which allegedly left out details of Pye's troubled childhood and other mitigating factors that would have spared his life.
Personal life and crime
Born in 1965, Willie James Pye, who had at least six siblings (including two older brothers), was reportedly a victim of childhood abuse and neglect, and his family members had also abused alcohol in the past. Pye's mother was the sole breadwinner of the family, and due to her husband's stints in prison, she had to work about ten to 12 hours while leaving her children (including Pye) unsupervised and they had to fend for themselves at a young age. Pye reportedly did not perform well in school, and he dropped out of junior high school; he was later diagnosed to have an IQ of 68, which was below the normal intelligence of 70. Pye was also, at age 20, arrested and sentenced to five years in prison for burglary.
On 17 November 1993, eight years after his first run-in with the law, Pye was involved in the rape-murder of his ex-girlfriend Alicia Lynn Yarbrough (aged 21 in 1993), with whom he had an on-again, off-again romantic relationship prior to their final break-up. After their final break-up, Yarbrough ended up with another man, and she had a child, which Pye believed to be his, and he was angered that a birth certificate for the baby was signed with Yarbrough's lover as the child's father. On the day in question, Pye, armed with a newly bought .22 pistol, teamed up with two people, 15-year-old Anthony Freeman and 25-year-old Chester Adams, to commit robbery at the lover's house, but after finding Yarbrough alone in the house with her baby, Pye and his accomplices abducted her and would later rape her at a motel, and also stole her jewelry. Afterwards, the trio drove Yarbrough down a dirt road, where Pye ordered her out of the car, told her to lie face down and shot her three times, which resulted in her death.
Yarbrough's corpse was discovered on the same day of her murder, and the trio were arrested soon after. Pye and Adams denied their involvement in the crime, while Freeman confessed to the murder and implicated both Adams and Pye. DNA tests would later confirm that the semen found on the victim's corpse belonged to Pye, which allowed the authorities to charge him as a suspect for Yarbrough's murder.
Trial and appeals
During the court proceedings into the case of Yarbrough's murder, one of Pye's accomplices, Anthony Freeman, reached a plea bargain and voluntarily turned state evidence against Pye, who was convicted of murder, kidnapping, rape, burglary and robbery in June 1996. The jury that convicted Pye also recommended a death sentence for the charge of murdering Yarbrough, and Pye was therefore condemned to death row. In addition to the death penalty, Pye was also given a 20-year jail term and three additional terms of life imprisonment for the other four charges. His appeal in 1998 was dismissed. Chester Adams was tried in a separate court for the same charges as Pye, and pleaded guilty in April 1997. Adams was spared the death sentence and instead received five consecutive life sentences for his role in Yarbrough's murder. Freeman was similarly sentenced to life in prison. Both were still incarcerated as of 2024.
A controversial fact of Pye's case was that during his trial, his attorney did not adequately fulfill his duty to represent and defend Pye, which likely caused the suppression of certain mitigating factors in his favor, such as Pye's childhood. This allegation was brought forward to the courts, and although a federal judge rejected this fact in an appeal hearing, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals would accept it in a 2021 court hearing, and as a result, a three-judge panel agreed to vacate Pye's death sentence on the grounds that Pye was subjected to prejudicial treatment due to inadequate legal representation. However, a year later, the decision was reversed by the a federal appellate court, resulting in Pye's death sentence being re-instated.
Death warrant and clemency plea
On 29 February 2024, it was reported that a death warrant was issued for Pye, scheduling him to be put to death via lethal injection on 20 March 2024.
Pye's lawyers later urged for the state to grant Pye clemency and commute his death sentence to life in prison without parole, on the grounds of Pye's low IQ and troubled childhood and the inadequate legal representation in his trial back in 1996. They also claimed that Pye suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome, as a result of his mother's alcohol abuse while she was pregnant with him, which may have damaged his brain and affected his mental responsibility at the time of the killing. Three former jurors who convicted Pye stated that they did not want Pye to be executed, after citing that they would have opted for life without parole should his childhood and low intelligence were first revealed during his trial. Human rights group Amnesty International also appealed for mercy on Pye's life, and they were also set to hold a vigil on Pye's behalf.
On 19 March 2024, the Georgia State Board of Pardons and Paroles officially announced that they would not commute Pye's death sentence, and therefore turned down his clemency petition.
Current status
Willie James Pye remains on death row awaiting his execution, which will take place at 7p.m. on 20 March 2024. He was set to be the first person scheduled for execution in Georgia after a four-year pause on executions. The last execution took place in January 2020, when Donnie Cleveland Lance was put to death for a double murder in 1997.
Pye reportedly ordered a last meal of two chicken sandwiches, two cheeseburgers, french fries, two bags of plain potato chips, and two lemon-lime sodas.

Later he is appointed as deputy to receive the ambassador of the viceroy Manuel Guirior.
He even threatened the Marquis of San Jorge Jorge Miguel Lozano de Peralta with the sword after insulting him by telling him "that he had a stain from the earth, that he was an enemy of the chapetones, that he had a seamless tunic (sic) and that he had no baptismal certificate.", after a dispute in the town hall.
In 1769, he acted as the perpetual rapporteur and signed a letter sent to Viceroy Mesía to protest against the doormen of the Royal Court of Santafé, who obstructed his path to first kiss the hands of Fray José de Jesús María before the hands of the oidores. His signature is also found in a statement along with other personalities during the rebellion of the commoners in 1781. In 1789, he was part of the staff of the Santafé Mint.

76404211 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang%20Scheunemann | Wolfgang Scheunemann | Wolfgang Scheunemann (4 April 1933 – 9 September 1948) was the first victim shot by the Volkspolizei (VP) at the sector border in Berlin. He was shot during a VP operation in Unter den Linden during the Berlin Blockade.
Death
The schoolboy Wolfgang Scheunemann, son of a boilermaker, lived in the Berlin district of Moabit in the British sector. He was a group leader of the youth organization Die Falken, which belonged to the SPD.
On 9 September 1948, Scheunemann joined 300,000 Berliners at a rally on Platz der Republik. It was directed against the incipient division of Berlin through the blockade of the Western sectors and the violent expulsion of the freely elected city councillors and magistrate members from their seats in the Eastern sector by the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED) and the Soviet occupying power. The Berlin police force was already divided into a section under the VP president Paul Markgraf, who had been deposed by the Berlin magistrate but was kept in office in the Eastern sector by the Soviet city commander, and the police president Johannes Stumm, who had been appointed by the magistrate.
In the immediate vicinity of the rally, there were scuffles between demonstrators and the police at the sector border at the Brandenburg Gate. After the rally, at which Ernst Reuter (SPD) had delivered his renown speech "You peoples of the world [...] look at this city!", a procession formed under SPD chairman Franz Neumann to deliver a protest resolution to the Allied Control Council. The Kammergericht building was located in the American sector in Potsdamer Strasse. Because of the mass of people jammed in Ebertstraße, numerous participants, including Scheunemann and a Falken member from Moabit, a 20-year-old nurse, took a detour through the Soviet sector. The route was to lead via the open Brandenburg Gate, Pariser Platz, the boulevard Unter den Linden, Wilhelmstrasse and Leipziger Straße to Potsdamer Platz.
Since the beginning of the blockade, the Volkspolizei had controlled vehicle and traffic at the border to the Western sectors without turning back pedestrians. When policemen now tried to push the pedestrians streaming across Pariser Platz back to the gate from Unter den Linden, they were insulted by the crowd and pelted with stones. The police responded first with warning shots and then with shots into the crowd. In the ensuing turmoil, police arrested demonstrators while they attacked individual police officers and removed the red flag from the Brandenburg Gate to hoist a black, red and gold one. Scheunemann, who had taken refuge with the nurse from shots and stone throwing in an alcove of the ruins of the Hotel Adlon, was shot in the stomach by a policeman. The VP's use of firearms caused a further twelve injuries. Scheunemann died while being transported to Moabit Hospital. Although the West Berlin police had offered a large reward and interviewed numerous witnesses, they were unable to identify the perpetrator.
Scheunemann's death caused a great public stir in Berlin. The SPD-affiliated Telegraf newspaper emphasized that demonstrators had refused to accept the East Berlin police cordons. His death was taken by the Falcons as an obligation to "fight for and defend freedom". In the centenary year of the democratic 1848 March Revolution, a RIAS commemorative program placed Scheunemann in a row with the March martyrs of 1848.
The SED-controlled East Berlin press, especially the Berliner Zeitung, devoted a great deal of attention to the incidents at the Brandenburg Gate. They depicted them as a kind of social-democratic coup attempt, mainly carried out by the Falcons, organized by the "fascist provocateurs Reuter and Friedensburg", who had "equipped the thugs with firearms". The newspaper did not mention the death of 15-year-old Scheunemann.
Wolfgang Scheunemann was the only child of his parents. After he was laid out in front of Tiergarten Town Hall, where Franz Neumann spoke, around 10,000 people accompanied the deceased to his funeral at St. Johannis II Cemetery in Seestraße. A few weeks later, in apparent competition, the SED leadership dedicated a funeral to Fritz Maqué, a policeman who had been the victim of a fatal incident at the sector border, which far surpassed that of Scheunemann in terms of size and solemnity.
Honor
A youth recreational facility in Berlin-Moabit, which was opened in 1961, was named Wolfgang Scheunemann House. There has been a memorial plaque there ever since.

76404212 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gien%20viaduct | Gien viaduct | The Gien viaduct is a railway bridge crossing the Loire at Gien in the Loiret and the Centre-Val de Loire region. It was part of the Gien - Argent railway line of which today only the Gien - Poilly-lez-Gien section is still in service, for the transport of goods.
With a total length of 1,832,20 meters, it is in fact made up of three structures: a masonry viaduct on the left bank with an opening of 1,198,20 meters, a truss bridge crossing the Loire with a length of 361 meters, and a masonry viaduct on the right bank with an opening of 273 meters.
At the time of its construction, this structure was one of the three longest structures in the world.
Geography
The bridge connects the towns of Gien, on the right bank of the Loire, and Poilly-lez-Gien on the left bank. It is used by a railway line which begins in the southern part of the territory of the commune of Poilly-lez-Gien, along the departmental road 956 known as the Coullons route, and joins the Gien station.
From south to north, the bridge begins along the Rue du Puit Rotant then spans the departmental road 951, known as the Route de Gien, the Rue des Iris, the Loire, the Chemin du Val, the Rue des Fourches and the Rue de la Poumet madness.
On the Loire, the bridge is located upstream of the Sully-sur-Loire bridge and downstream of the old Gien bridge.
History
1878-1888: route studies
The line from Bourges to Gien, started by the railway company from Bourges to Gien and from Argent-sur-Sauldre to Beaune-la-Rolande, was bought by the State, under the law of August 3 1881, following the liquidation of this Company, then granted to the Compagnie du chemin de fer de Paris à Orléans, under the conditions set out in the agreement of June 28, 1883.
At the time of the takeover, the earthworks and engineering structures were already very advanced. The section between Bourges and Argent-sur-Sauldre was able to be delivered to operation on June 15, 1885, the infrastructure work on the rest of the line was then almost completed up to a few kilometers from Gien, but the difficulties presented by the crossing of the Loire at Gien, had delayed the studies of this part of the route so much that the project was not yet approved.
In this place the river is not dammed, and, unless we lay the track at ground level over the entire left bank valley and resign ourselves to seeing it submerge frequently over more than a kilometer in length, it was necessary to plan for the crossing of the entire valley a viaduct of exceptional length.
Route no. 1 south-east of Gien
Due to the exorbitant cost of the project, the former Company still preferred to establish a submersible crossing despite the inconveniences that would have resulted for operation.
This crossing was made upstream of the town of Gien by means of a metal bridge 300 or 400 meters wide depending on the variants proposed. The lower part of the bridge deck was only placed 1,50 meters above the highest water, the rail was only at the level 133,40, or approximately 30 meters below the plateau steep hill on which the Gien station is located. This bridge was accessed from the south side by means of a 0.015 slope embankment. Once the viaduct was crossed, the railway line was to join the Paris - Clermont-Ferrand line at Gien station, passing through a 415 meter long tunnel. Another variation of this project proposed two tunnels of 175 and 495 meters long to go up to the plateau.
The ministerial decision of July 23, 1878, however, invited the Company to examine whether it would not be preferable to raise the bridge deck further, and to provide a certain number of relief arches in the access ramp.
Route no. 2 northwest of Gien
The solutions presented did not in any way satisfy Mr. des Orgeries, chief engineer, nor Mr. Pochet, ordinary control engineer. They studied another solution consisting of transferring the route downstream of the city by raising the platform to level 136,80 at the level of the crossing of the Loire. for crossing the river two solutions were proposed, either by a masonry viaduct 1,320 meters long, so as to make the route completely unsinkable, or by a submersible route, an embankment 200 meters long followed by a viaduct 300 meters.
At the same time the State entered into negotiations to buy the line, the Company's proposals were definitively rejected and the engineers were invited to study a preliminary project on the basis they had proposed (ministerial decision of October 31, 1879). Following this study, the submersible route was definitively abandoned; but on the other hand it was decided, to reduce expenses, to only build the line with one track in the entire part remaining to be executed.
The preliminary project presented included, on the left bank valley, a masonry viaduct 1,230 meters long and composed of 96 arches with an opening of 11 meters, to cross the Loire, a metal bridge with seven spans of 386 meters in total length, and, on the right bank, an embankment with no openings other than the works necessary for the railway crossings.
The level of the platform on the metal deck was still only at the level 134,30, but the embankment following it was, for 140 meters, at a slope of 0,01, and for the rest of the length , ramped by 0.016. The maximum depth of the trench opened in the hillside on the right bank nevertheless exceeded 13 meters.
It was planned that the left bank valley viaduct and the abutments of the metal bridge would be founded on gravel at an average depth of 3,70 meters, and that the piers of the bridge over the Loire would be founded on masses of concrete poured under the water, after dredging of the scourable land, in enclosures defended by riprap.
This preliminary project was approved by ministerial decision of April 17, 1882, subject to new studies being carried out to ensure the resistance of the marls, on which the bridge over the Loire was to be founded, to the corrosion of currents and to compressibility. The general provisions adopted by this decision were no longer to be significantly modified with regard to the route.
For the record, a variant, called Pisserate, was presented in the same years, in which the crossing of the Loire was postponed more than two kilometers downstream from the town. This move resulted in a considerable lengthening of the route, and was only motivated by the fear of encountering insurmountable difficulties in the execution of the 13 meter deep trench.
Final route: a new viaduct on the right bank
In the final project the line at the crossing of the Loire was finally raised to the level 139,67, which corresponds to a platform level of 139,17, more than 5 meters higher than that of the preliminary draft. We only had a trench of a maximum depth of 10.20 meters to avoid the geological layer that we feared to damage.
As a consequence of this increase, the quantity of available excavation was considerably reduced, the height of the valley embankment was also increased, and it was possible, without any notable difference in the amount of expenditure, to introduce a viaduct of 300 m on the right bank. meters in length.
This provided, on this side, an important outlet for flood waters. This outlet, considered superfluous by the Loire service, due to the layout of the premises, gave satisfaction to the inhabitants of the town of Gien who feared the consequences that could have had, on the flow of flood waters, the existence a short distance away, downstream of the town, of an enormous embankment forming a dam across the entire width of the right bank valley. Finally, the entire route was moved slightly downstream, in order to avoid the very expensive expropriations brought about by the proximity of a large industrial installation.
In the meantime, we had carried out, near the right bank of the Loire, the additional experiments prescribed on the resistance of the marl, and we had noted that this land presented all guarantees from the point of view of resistance to scour and to compressibility.
1888-1893: the works
This project was approved by ministerial decision of November 11, 1886. Following the parcel survey, and at the request of the municipal council of Gien, it underwent a slight rearrangement, with a view to accommodating, in the neighboring part of the station, the passage of an access avenue planned by the city. This modification was approved by ministerial decision of April 27, 1887.
The total expenditure was estimated at 3,241,000 French francs, broken down into 937,000 francs for the acquisition of land, 2,500,000 francs for earthworks and masonry and 604,000 francs for the metal deck of the bridge over the Loire.
Surveys were therefore made at the beginning of 1887 and confirmed those carried out for studies in 1881 with regard to the thickness of the layers of land, but they revealed a water table higher than expected. It was then decided to strengthen the foundations in a more significant way. This had the effect of bringing the estimate of the earthworks to 2,630,000 francs and the total cost to 3,371,000 francs.
The work was awarded on August 13, 1887 and the foundations of the right bank viaduct were started at the beginning of 1888. The foundations of the right bank viaduct presented no difficulty. Those of the left bank viaduct were more difficult to carry out because the compact marl was much deeper and its consistency was variable.
Features
The structure as a whole has a length of 1,832.20 meters. Three structures make it up: a masonry viaduct on the left bank with an opening of 1,198.20 meters, a truss girder bridge crossing the Loire, with a length of 361 meters, and a masonry viaduct on the right bank of 273 opening meters.
Left bank viaduct
There was long hesitation over the solution to adopt for the opening and shape of the arches. It was not easy to give the entire structure a satisfactory appearance due to the considerable difference in height of its two ends (6 meters originally and 12 meters at the abutment of the metal bridge).
The arrangements definitively adopted consist of semi-circular arches with an opening of 16 meters as long as the available height allows it, then we move, via transition arches, to vaults of the same opening lowered by about a third, then successively with lowered vaults of 15, 14 and 13 meters opening.
Metal bridge
The bridge crossing the Loire is a Pratt-type metal truss bridge, 361 meters long.
Right bank viaduct
The arches of the viaduct on the right bank have a very large opening compared to the height chosen, because it was anticipated that the foundations would be quite expensive. So they have an average opening of 18 meters.

Early Life
Del Saz grew up in Bilbao, Spain and began ice-skating in his childhood which became his first performing career. In 1979 Del Saz was the Spanish National Champion in figure skating. After this he performed with Holiday on Ice-International. After working on Holiday on Ice, he turned to dance as the next step in his career. Del Saz moved to New York City and wrote to dance luminaries Martha Graham, Merce Cunningham, and Paul Taylor before he found a place with the Alwin Nikolais and Murray Louis dance companies. He trained with Nikolais and Louis for a year before officially joining the company in 1985.
Dance and Teaching Career
Del Saz became a lead soloist with the Nikolais Dance Theater when he joined the company in 1985. He toured with the company until it closed in 1999. He became the co-director of the Nikolais/Louis Foundation for Dance appointed by Murray Louis. Since Louis passed away in 2016, Del Saz has become the sole Artistic Director of the Foundation.
Originally the Foundation included the Nikolais Dance Theater, The Murray Louis Dance Company, and The School and Chimerafilm, an audio-visual component. When Nikolais passed away in 1993 the dance companies were combined. They were then phased out in 1999 and in 2003 a partnership with the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company was solidified. This partnership allowed the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company to be the only company allowed to perform full evening performances of Nikolais/Louis works. Del Saz has collaborated with and has directed the Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company when they perform Nikolais repertory. This close collaboration allows Del Saz to impart not just the choreography of a piece, but the way Nikolais worked with dancers and the philosophy behind the movements.
In 2010 and 2011 Del Saz was the director of the Nikolais/Louis centennial tour which visited over 18 colleges and universities including Boston Conservatory, the University of Washington, and NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. During this tour Del Saz traveled extensively, offered workshops, and taught classes.
In 2022, Del Saz presented a series of Master Classes in the Nikolais/Louis tradition in Rio de Janeiro. This was in collaboration with Rocio Infante, and associates.
Over the years Del Saz has worked with many artists and has been a guest solo artist in works by Hanya Holm, Claudia Gitelman, and Maureen Fleming among others. He also revisited the ice skating world by working with Nicole Bobek and Phillipe Candeloro on choreography.
As a teacher, Del Saz has held an Adjunct faculty position at Hunter College and teaches at Marymount Manhattan College.

76404273 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France%E2%80%93Liechtenstein%20relations | France–Liechtenstein relations | Foreign relations between France and Liechtenstein date back to the Napoleonic wars. Both countries established diplomatic relations on 27 August 1992. Since then, relations between the two countries have been stable.
France does not have an embassy in Liechtenstein. The French ambassador to Switzerland, located in Bern, is also accredited to Liechtenstein. Similarly, the Swiss embassy in Paris also represents Liechtenstein.
History
Napoleonic wars
In the War of the First Coalition, Liechtenstein, as part of the Holy Roman Empire contributed approximately 20 troops to the coalition forces from 1793 to 1796 to oppose the French under the leadership of Napoleon I. During the War of the Second Coalition, France invaded the country on 6 March 1799 and plundered several towns, including Nendeln that was burned by French troops, which resulted in the deaths of four people. The Austrian and Volgraberg state militias under command by Lieutenant field marshal Franjo Jelačić defeated 18,000 French troops stationed in Liechtenstein under command of General André Masséna and liberated the country by 14 May.
In 1806, Liechtenstein was one of the principalities and counties Maximilian I of Bavaria wanted to annex as his price for joining the Confederation of the Rhine but Napoleon refused because he had appreciated the personal qualities of Johann I as a negotiator, Austria's envoy during the negotiations leading to the Treaty of Pressburg. Thus Liechtenstein became a sovereign state later that year when it joined Napoleon's Confederation of the Rhine upon the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire. The French once again occupied the country for a few years, but Liechtenstein retained its independence in upon Napoleons defeat in 1815.
World War I
France sided with the Entente countries during World War I. Though Liechtenstein remained neutral throughout the conflict, it retained close ties to Austria-Hungary and was sympathetic to the Central Powers. At the outbreak of the war, France interned Liechtensteiners and partially confiscated their assets. From 1916, Liechtenstein was embargoed by the Entente countries until the end of the war. Despite diplomatic efforts by Liechtenstein, they received no representation in the negotiations or singing of the Treaty of Versailles, though the country received indirect recognition of its sovereignty in the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye.
Liechtenstein applied to join the League of Nations in 1920, though this was rejected by the League of Nations Assembly on 17 December 1920, of which the France was a member, by a vote of 28 against and 1 in favour.
World War II
During World War II, Liechtenstein remained neutral, and its neutrality was not violated by any of the combatants. France had been on the side of the Allies since 1939, but was invaded by Nazi Germany the following year. Shortly after the war, Pierre Laval, the Prime Minister of Vichy France had attempted to seek refuge in Liechtenstein after being flown to the American-occupied zone of Austria, but was turned away.
21st-century
France and Liechtenstein are both members of the European Economic Area and the Schengen Area. Liechtenstein-based companies, such as Hilti and Ivoclar employee approximately 2500 people from France. In 2013, Liechtenstein exports to France equated to approximately 305 million Swiss francs.
Following the 2008 Liechtenstein tax affair, the two countries signed a tax information exchange agreement on 22 September 2009, which came into force on 19 August 2010.

76404281 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vase%20%28heraldry%29 | Vase (heraldry) | A vase () is a heraldic symbol that has been used by the Swedish and Polish House of Vasa. It has been used as a symbol of the Swedish state even after the extinction of the Vasa lineage, and was reused in 1818 as part of the coat of arms of Sweden. The vase has been used by other families, both noble and common, and is still in use by the government-owned real estate enterprise Vasakronan.
The term originally referred to a bundle of twigs or branches and comes from the Old Swedish vasi and is related to vad ("seine").The term has been used in compounds such as risvase (a bundle of straw of twigs used to attract fish near shore) and stormvase ("fascine"). As a coat of arms the term vase has likely been used since the symbol has mostly resembled a fascine.
The exact meaning of the heraldic symbol of the Vasa family has been debated among both historians and heralds. During the late 16th century, the vase was depicted to look more like a sheaf, while medieval depictions show a sort of bundle, and which possibly could have been a depiction of a type of anchor plate. In modern times, depictions of a vase as a sheaf are considered inaccurate. Due to its historical association with a sheaf, it has sometimes been called vasakärven, "the Vasa sheaf".
The vase was used as a nationalist symbol during the 1930s and 1940s, especially by fascist and nazist groups in Sweden, such as the Swedish National Socialist Workers' Party (Svensk socialistisk samling) under Sven Olov Lindholm (1903–1998). The vase was also used as a party symbol by National Socialist Front which was active about 1984–2008. It was alos used by democratic political organizations like Svenska Landsbygdens Kvinnoförbund, today Centerkvinnorna, the women's organization of the Centre Party.

76404405 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha%20Beatrice%20Webb%20%28medical%20doctor%29 | Martha Beatrice Webb (medical doctor) | Martha Beatrice Webb (1863 – 1951) was an English medical doctor and lecturer who worked to maintain the health of working women during World War I. She left behind publications on practical health and a letter-book describing her experience at medical school.
Early life
She was born 20 October 1863 in Disley, Cheshire, the elder of two children of cotton manufacturer Philip Webb and his wife Frances, née Richards. She was educated privately and, after a four-year period of ill health which she later attributed to anaemia, she studied natural sciences at Newnham College, Cambridge, from 1887–90.
Medical studies
After a ten-year career as a science teacher at Edgbaston High School for Girls, she returned to what she felt was her first vocation of medical science. She studied at the University of Birmingham Medical School between 1902 and 1908. Her letter-book records her experience as one of the first women medical students there. Upon graduating with an MB ChB from Edinburgh in 1907 and MD in 1908, she established a general practice from her home in Edgbaston, where she practiced for 25 years.
World War I
During World War I, Webb served as medical investigator to the Ministry of Munitions. Her work as medical lecturer to welfare supervisors, who were responsible for the health of workers in munitions factories, led to her publishing books and pamphlets of practical advice for the maintenance of everyday health.
She also served as a recruiting officer for the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps.

Later career
In the early 1920s, Webb was appointed part-time lecturer in personal hygiene to women students at the University of Birmingham, where she was also medical officer to the department of education. She successfully proposed the appointment of a woman tutor and founded several social clubs for medical women in Birmingham.
She supported the British Medical Association's campaign for equal pay for men and women, and opposed a marriage bar which would have restricted employment for married women.
Retiring in 1932, she died in Birmingham on 14 February 1951. Her obituary praised her as 'a pioneer in social medicine' who helped with the progress of women's higher education and entry into the professions.

76404491 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%20Pennsylvania | German Pennsylvania | The term German Pennsylvania () refers to two distinct regions:
first, to historic German Pennsylvania, settled by 1600s Palatines and other Germans, with Germantown, Philadelphia as its capital. Historically it rivaled New England.
second, to the Pennsylvania Dutch Country, a Pennsylvania Dutch region which centers around Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Each term has been in use for many years.
High German society of Pennsylvania
Waves of Palatines (Pennsylvania Dutch: ) from the Rhenish Palatinate of the Holy Roman Empire initially settled in Maryland, the Carolinas, Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York. The first Palatines in Pennsylvania arrived in the 1600s but the majority came throughout the 1700s.
There were several Palatine state citizen groups: New York Palatines, Virginia Palatines, Maryland Palatines, Indiana Palatines; the most numerous and influential were the Pennsylvania Palatines.
Pennsylvania Palatines already possessed an ethnic identity and a well-defined social-system that was separate from the Yankee American identity. Yankees described the Pennsylvania Dutch as very industrious, very businessminded, and a very rich community.
Here is a conversation of two businessmen describing Germantown, the capital of Pennsylvania Dutch urban culture in 1854:
Pennsylvania Dutch had a strong dislike for New England, and to them the term "Yankee" became synonymous with "a cheat." Indeed, New Englanders were the rivals of the Pennsylvania Dutch.
Germantown, Philadelphia
Although the arrival by ship of the Original 13, the later founders of Germantown in Philadelphia on October 6, 1683, was later to provide the date for German-American Day, a holiday in the United States, historical research has shown that nearly all of the first thirteen Quaker and Mennonite families were in fact Dutch rather than Germans. These families, which were mainly Dutch but also included some Swiss, had relocated to Krefeld (near the Dutch border) and Kriegsheim (in Rhineland-Palatinate) some years prior to their emigration to America to avoid persecution of their Mennonite beliefs in the Dutch Republic and Swiss Confederacy. The town was named Germantown by the group's leader Franz Pastorius, a German preacher from Sommerhausen.
In 1688, five years after its founding, Germantown became the birthplace of the anti-slavery movement in America. Pastorius, Gerret Hendericks and the brothers Derick and Abraham op den Graeff gathered at Thones Kunders's house and wrote a two-page condemnation of slavery and sent it to the governing bodies of their Quaker church, the Society of Friends. The petition was mainly based upon the Bible's Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Though the Quaker establishment took no immediate action, the 1688 Germantown Quaker Petition Against Slavery was a clear and forceful argument against slavery and initiated the process of banning slavery in the Society of Friends (1776) and Pennsylvania (1780).
In 1723, Germantown became the site of the first congregation of Schwarzenau Brethren in the New World. The Church of the Brethren - among other churches - have their roots in the Schwarzenau Brethren.
When Philadelphia was occupied by the British during the American Revolutionary War, British units were housed in Germantown. In the Battle of Germantown, on October 4, 1777, the Continental Army attacked the garrison. During the battle, a group of civilians fired on the British troops as they marched up the avenue, mortally wounding British officer James Agnew. The Americans withdrew after firing on one another in the confusion of the battle, which resulted in the battle becoming a British victory. The American losses amounted to 673 men and the British losses consisted of 575 men, but along with the American victory at Saratoga on October 17 when John Burgoyne surrendered, the battle led to the official recognition of the Americans by France, which formed an alliance with the Americans afterward.
During his presidency, George Washington and his family lodged at the Deshler-Morris House in Germantown to escape the city and the yellow fever epidemic of 1793. The first bank of the United States was also located here during his administration.
Germantown proper, and the adjacent German Township, were incorporated into the City of Philadelphia in 1854 by the Act of Consolidation.
Pennsylvania Dutch Country
By the American Revolution in the 18th century, Pennsylvlvania had a high percentage of German inhabitants. Religiously, they were predominantly Lutherans but also included German Reformed, Moravian, Amish, Mennonite, Schwarzenau Brethren, and other German Christian denominations. Catholics settled around early Jesuit missions in Conewago near Hanover and Goshenhoppen, now known as Bally. The term Pennsylvania Dutch Country was used in the middle of the 20th century as a description of a region with a distinctive Pennsylvania Dutch culture, but in recent decades the composition of the population is changing and the phrase is used more now in a tourism context than any other.

Early life and education
Langevin was born in Nantes, the daughter of artist and writer and teacher Bettina Simon. One of her brother was scholar . She studied at the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs.
Career
Langevin taught and wrote about art and art education. In 1951 she wrote a series of reports about arts education in France for UNESCO. In 1960, she was an adjudicator for folk dance competitions at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod.
Langevin was known for her explorations of "collective paintings", murals painted by a group, often as a classroom or community activity. An American textbook explained the process Langevin taught: "The members of the class produce small paintings. One painting is selected and divided into squares which are numbered. Each child in the class is assigned one square which he copies on a large scale on another piece of paper. Eventually the large squares are assembled to form a very large picture." Le roi et la reine and Le cheval de Troie, paintings created this way, in a classroom under Langevin and Jean Lombard's supervision, are in the collection of the Centre Pompidou.

Early life and Education
Prosch was born in Fairfax county, CA, in 1979, and was raised between her mother's community in South Florida and her father's in Northern California. While growing up she took dance, piano and drawing classes.
The artist holds a BFA from New World School of the Arts (2003) in Miami, and an MFA in Studio Arts from the California Institute of the Arts (2007-2009).
Work
Ali Prosch's artistic practice embraces mixed media sculptures and installations, as well as time-based media to engage with topics on femininity, bodily autonomy, collective and personal trauma, loss, and grief.
In the early stages of her career, her work Untitled (Beaded Doorway), was presented at Locust Projects, Miami, in 2007. Prosch's work has been featured in shows at Glendale College Art Gallery, University of California, Santa Barbara, Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C., University of Texas, Georgia State University, The Museum of Contemporary Art (North Miami).
In 2016, her work was part of Now Be Here, an initiative organized by New York gallery Hauser & Wirth showcasing the work of nearly 700 women artists and non-binary people. The exhibition traveled to the Brooklyn Museum, New York, and the Pérez Art Museum Miami, Florida, and later to the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Washington D.C. Her work entered the collections of the Pérez Art Museum Miami thereafter.
Her 2018 solo exhibition Come Undone at Los-Angeles art space Bed and Breakfast, was reviewed by critic Jennifer Remenchick from Contemporary Art Review, Los Angeles: " All the pieces perform a kind of imitation, embodying the skin rather than the substance of the items they purport to depict. This flesh-like association is only further emphasized by the pervasive look and smell of latex, a material used in all the exhibition’s works." The performance public program related to the exhibition was co-curated with professional choreographer Jacqueline Falcone.
In 2022, Prosch's work was featured in the What if the Matriarchy Was Here All Along? group show in the main library at Altadena Libraries in California. Her work was also included in the inaugural show at Xela Institute of Art, Long Beach in 2023.
She is the creator and co-host of the program Performing Aspen, a community-based project expanding conversations among art practioneers such as musicians, visual artists, performers, and others.

76404552 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zonia%20Bowen | Zonia Bowen | Zonia Bowen (23 April 1926 – 18 March 2024) was an English-born writer, linguist, and activist in Wales. The founder of the women's organization Merched y Wawr, Bowen worked to promote Welsh language and culture.
Early life and education
Zonia Margarita North was born in Ormesby St Margaret, Norfolk, England, in 1926. She grew up in Heckmondwike, Yorkshire.
She studied French at Wales' Bangor University in the 1940s. While there, she began to learn Welsh for the first time, to connect with friends and neighbors. Despite her own English background, she became passionate about the Welsh language and Welsh identity.
In 1947, she married the Welsh poet Geraint Bowen. They had four children; several of her grandchildren are members of the bands Plu and Y Bandana.
Activism
In 1967, Zonia Bowen founded Merched y Wawr in response to officials not allowing the local Women's Institute branch, near Bala, to operate in the Welsh language. The new women's organization grew to a national one that continues to this day.
Bowen served as the organization's first national secretary, and as the founding editor of its Y Wawr magazine, which she ran for six years. During her time with the group, she organized several international trips for its members, including to the Soviet Union in 1975.
She resigned as honorary president in 1976, severing ties with Merched y Wawr, because she had envisioned it as a secular, nondenominational organization open to everyone, but others wanted to incorporate Christianity into its activities.
As a child, Bowen had been raised without religion. She was involved with the Wales Humanists, including as onetime secretary of the organization's council, though she did not explicitly label herself as a humanist, preferring "freethinker" or no label at all.
Bowen was also prominently involved in the Madryn campaign, which opposed dumping of nuclear waste in Wales.
Writing
In addition to French and Welsh, Bowen also studied Breton, and she went on to publish the first Welsh-language Breton textbook. She also published a Welsh-language book for children about humanism. In 1991, she co-wrote a seminal history of Gorsedd Cymru with her husband.
She published an autobiography, Dy bobl di fydd fy mhobl i, in 2015.
Death
Zonia Bowen died in 2024 at age 97.

76404597 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tina%20York | Tina York | Tina York (bornMonika Schwab, born April 29, 1954, in Bingen) is a German pop singer. She had her greatest success in 1974 with Wir lassen uns das Singen nicht verbieten.
Career
She initially worked as a paralegal after school. In 1969, at the age of 14, she recorded her first, unsuccessful single under the stage name Monia. In 1970, she was discovered by Rudi Wolpert at her sister Mary Roos's wedding. Her first single, Oh Mama Good Bye, a German version of the Tremeloes hit Me and My Life, was released in the same year under the stage name Tina York. The singer was under contract with the record company CBS from 1970 to 1976 and worked with producers such as Peter Orloff and Jack White.
York was a guest on numerous music programs on television, including a total of 17 times on the ZDF-Hitparade from 1970 to 1981, where she took first place in 1974 with the song Wir lassen uns das Singen nicht verbieten, written by White and Fred Jay. York placed in the top three with Wo die Sonne scheint, Liechtensteiner Polka (both 1974) and Ein Adler kann nicht fliegen (1977). In 1976, York took part in the German preliminary decision for the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Das alte Haus and finished in last place. The song, which was based on the disco style popular at the time, was probably not initially released as a single or on an album because of this result. It was not until 2001 that Das alte Haus was released on the comprehensive compilation Stationen: Von heute bis morgen released in 2001.
Further successes came to York in the German Airplay charts from 1976 with Gib dem Glück eine Chance (1976), Ein Mann wie du (1977) and Ein Lied für Maria (1978) as well as the two top 10 hits Ein Adler kann nicht fliegen (1977) and Ich bin da (1981). York recorded three studio albums in the 1970s, Wir lassen uns das Singen nicht verbieten (1975), Ich bring' dir heut' ein Ständchen (1977) and Mein Weg zu dir (1978).
After a 29-year break and numerous compilations of her successes and singles, a new album entitled Ich träume mit dir was not released until 2007. In 2018, she took part in the twelfth season of the RTL show I bin ein Star - Holt mich hier raus!, in which she came third behind Daniele Negroni and the season winner Jenny Frankhauser.
York is divorced and lives in Berlin.

76404624 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Monument%20Mythos%20%28analog%20horror%29 | The Monument Mythos (analog horror) | The Monument Mythos (stylized in all uppercase) is a YouTube analog horror alternate history webseries created by user Alex Casanas under the alias MISTER MANTICORE. The series, formatted as found footage and mockumentaries, is a satire of government corruption and conspiracy theories set in an alternate universe. The Monument Mythos is well known for its episode titles, which contain alliteration, are written in all uppercase, and contain no spaces between words.
The series' plot centers on the idea of the U.S. government containing incomprehensible monsters, life forms, and human beings within famous American monuments.
The series ran from November 26, 2016 to February 29, 2024, running for a total of 4 seasons.
A spin-off show, The Nixonverse (also stylized in all uppercase), which followed a universe in which Richard Nixon was elected as president instead of James Dean, ran from May 13 to August 13, 2022. A compilation film, The Absolute Nixonverse (also stylized in all uppercase), which added new sections and removed certain sections from the original series, was released on October 1, 2023 on the Dwight Comics YouTube channel.
Development
Casanas had written the series in its entirety before it was released, although he began to make substantial rewrites beginning in May 2021.
Original music for the series was composed by Andrew Wilson, a childhood friend of Casanas.
Plot
The series takes place throughout three fictional universes, each containing its own narrative, with an overarching theme of US historical monuments being used in government conspiracies.
The primary universe, dubbed by the fanbase as the "Deanverse," takes place in an alternative universe where actor James Dean becomes the 37th President of the United States following a landslide election (among other changes). His detractors form a terrorist group known as the Anti Dean Association (later the Anti Device Association), aiding in the eventual destruction of the universe known as the Great Division. The events that led up to the Great Division, which were documented by a former inhabitant of the Deanverse known as Cthonaut A, involved two godlike being engaging in a battle that destroyed the earth, releasing a massive snake-like creature dubbed "The Horned Serpent" that had been incubating in the Earth like an egg, before finally destroying the universe, reducing it to nothing but glowing spheres of structures called special trees.
The second universe, dubbed the "Montyverse", acts as an alternative reality to the Deanverse, where actor Montgomery Clift becomes the 38th President of the US with James Dean as his Vice President. Cthonaut A, using his knowledge of the events in the Deanverse, interferes with this universe by aiding in the prevention the Great Division. He later influences the prevention of an interplanetary threat, saving the Earth.
The third universe, under the moniker The Monument Mythos: Modern Day, takes place in an alternate version of the 2020s where English actor Robert Pattinson becomes the 46th President of the US under the influence of beings that have been manipulating American presidents for malicious purposes. Towards the end of his term, a now-insane Pattinson launches "Parasite Rocket" nuclear ballistic missiles secretly hidden inside monuments by the American government, causing widespread death and destruction, which some survivors escape by becoming trans-dimensional beings.
Pilot episode
The pilot episode of the series, "CORNERFOLK", was released on August 26, 2020.
Spin-offs
Alex Casanas has also created other analog horror series, some of which were later adapted into episodes of The Monument Mythos and recontextualized to fit within the series, including the Nixonverse, American Anatomy, the Trinity Desk Project, The House on the Ocean, and CORNERFOLKLORE.

It is the highest point in Bolton.
Description
Wattaquadock Hill is the highest peak between Boston and Mount Wachusett and the highest in Bolton, followed closely by Vaughn Hill. On the hill are many hiking trails near pine forests, streams, a large pond with a beaver dam, and a kettle hole bog. The hill may be accessed via the Welch Pond Trail Head on Wattaquadock Hill Road and there are 15 acres of public conservation land.

History
The word "Wattaquadock" is a Algonquin word meaning the "place of many springs" and is used for nearby Wattaquadock Road and Wattaquadock Brook, now known as Mill Brook. During King Phillip's War in the 1670s most of the houses around current day Bolton and Lancaster were burned except for two on Wattaquadock Hill. In 1980 the town of Bolton acquired public conservation land on the hill.

76404677 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helsinki%20capital%20region | Helsinki capital region | The Helsinki capital region (, ) is the area formed by the cities of Espoo, Helsinki, Kauniainen and Vantaa in Finland. The area is limited around Helsinki, the capital of Finland. The area is located in the southern part of Finland on the shores of the Gulf of Finland and is an important growth centre with a population of million.
The municipalities of the capital region have a legal obligation to cooperate in the areas of waste management and public transport, with HSL being responsible for public transport and HSY for waste management and water supply. Municipalities other than the four capital region municipalities may also be members of the association of municipalities. HSL has Kirkkonummi, Kerava, Tuusula, Sipoo from the Helsinki metropolitan area and Siuntio from outside the area, and Kirkkonummi for the waste management of HSY.
Other definitions
Sometimes the term Greater Helsinki () has been used in the same sense as the Capital region, but not in the official language. The term Capital region is already established in both official and unofficial use.
The term Helsinki metropolitan area () may be broader than the capital region in common parlance, but it also has a precise meaning in the official language. For example, when the term Helsinki metropolitan area is used in statistics, it includes 14 municipalities, namely Helsinki, Espoo, Kauniainen, Vantaa, Kirkkonummi, Vihti, Nurmijärvi, Tuusula, Kerava, Järvenpää, Hyvinkää, Mäntsälä, Pornainen and Sipoo.
The Helsinki sub-region (), which is related to the national regional division that was abolished at the beginning of 2014, must be distinguished from the Helsinki metropolitan area. The Helsinki sub-region included some of the same municipalities as the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, with the addition of Lohja, Karkkila and Siuntio.

76404718 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolandas%20Makrickas | Rolandas Makrickas | Rolandas Makrickas (born 31 January 1972) is a Lithuanian prelate of the Catholic Church who was named coadjutor archpriest of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in March 2024. He worked in the diplomatic service of the Holy See from 2006 to 2021, when he was given responsibility for managing the finances of the Basilica. He has been an archbishop since 2023.
Biography
Rolandas Makrickas was born on 31 January 1972 in Biržai, Lithuania, the youngest of five children. Because Soviet authorities restricted religious practice and catechesis, his early religious education was private and tersely accomplished. The end of the Soviet era allowed to gain a more extensive understanding of his faith and ways of experiencing beyond ritual. While young he flew gliders and briefly considered a career in aviation. He entered Kaunas Interdiocesan Seminary in 1990, the second year it operated, and beginning in 1991 lived at St. Kazimierz Lithuanian College in Rome while studying philosophy and theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University. He was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Panevėžys] on 30 July 1996. From 1996 to 2001 he was under-secretary of the Lithuanian Bishops' Conference and headed the National Committee of the Great Jubilee of 2000. He earned a doctorate in church history at the Gregorian in 2004.
He studied at the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy from 2003 to 2006 and joined the diplomatic service of the Holy See on 1 July 2006 and fulfilled assignments first in Bolivia, in Georgia where he witnessed the destruction of the Russia-Georgia war, and in Sweden where the nunciature was responsible for several northern countries, then in the United States from 2013 to 2017, which included a papal visit, and then for two years as chargeé d'affairs in Gabon and counselor in Congo, where he joined in the Church's delivery of social services and managed a construction project, and finally in the Section for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State in Rome, beginning on 10 August 2019, where he became the first non-Italian to hold that position. In that role he participated in the reorganization of the Vatican's financial and administrative functions
On 15 December 2021, Pope Francis appointed him extraordinary commissioner with responsibility for managing the assets of the chapter of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, citing "the particular complexities of the economic and financial management of the Chapter ... exacerbated by the spread of the [COVID-19] pandemic". The pope left a meeting to offer him the post in a brief hallway conversation. Despite that characterization of his role, he repeatedly acted as spokesperson for the basilica's events and initiatives.
On 23 February 2023, Francis made him titular bishop of Tolentino with the personal title of archbishop. Makrickas received his episcopal consecration on 15 April from Cardinal Pietro Parolin, with co-consecrators Cardinal Stanislaw Rylko, Archpriest of Santa Maria Maggiore, and Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra.
On 20 March 2024, ending Makrickas' role as commissioner and redefining the role of the Basilica's canons, Pope Francis named him coadjutor archpriest of Santa Maria Maggiore.

76404728 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andradas%20Street | Andradas Street | Andradas Street (Portuguese: Rua dos Andradas) is located in the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The stretch from Gasômetro to General Câmara was called Rua da Praia, and the stretch between General Câmara and Senhor dos Passos was called Rua da Graça.
History
Located on the banks of the Guaíba River, Andradas Street emerged in 1772 along with the city of Porto Alegre and was one of the main points of urban occupation. The Chapel of Saint Francis of the Wounds, the city's first church, the Navy arsenals and the Royal Warehouses were built on the site. The central section, where Alfândega Square is located today, used to contain the unloading quay and a concentration of merchants. In 1799, it was paved by order of the ombudsman Lourenço José Vieira Souto. Initially named Rua da Graça, it started at Gasômetro and stretched to Ouvidor Street, now General Câmara. In 1843, when the streets were platted and unified, it became Rua da Praia.
Foreign travelers who visited Porto Alegre in the 19th century spoke highly of Andrades Street. In 1820, Auguste de Saint-Hilaire described it as "extremely busy (...) with very well-installed stores, well-assorted sales and workshops of various professions". In 1858, the German Avé-Lallement described it as offering "very majestic houses of up to three floors", which confirms the rapid development of the area. The name Rua dos Andradas was officially incorporated on August 17, 1865 during the preparations for the Independence Day celebrations. At the same time, the street underwent paving in the central part, which ended in 1874. The old irregular stones were replaced by cobblestones in 1885. In 1923, it changed to mosaic granite cobblestones, which still exist in some sections.
Successive landfills along the waterfront moved the street away from the coast. By the middle of the 20th century, it had become a place for wholesalers, elegant shops and a popular meeting place for civic events, attracting numerous patisseries, cinemas and restaurants. The stretch between Doutor Flores and Marechal Floriano streets was listed as a landmark site by municipal decree in 1989. It has a roadbed seven meters long with sidewalks of around 2.5 meters.
Literature
Andradas Street was the setting and protagonist of anecdotes and picturesque cases and served as inspiration for several local writers. In 1852, José Cândido Gomes discussed its peculiarities in the pages of O Mercantil. Zeferino Brasil and Aquiles Porto Alegre also wrote about it. Erico Veríssimo used it as a setting for various scenes in his novels.
Attractions
Andradas Street features several tourist attractions, cultural institutions and architectural monuments in Porto Alegre, such as the Mario Quintana House of Culture, the Minor Basilica of Our Lady of Sorrows, the Hipólito José da Costa Communication Museum and the CEEE Erico Verissimo Cultural Center. It also contains the historic buildings of the Southern Military Command, the Labor Museum, the headquarters of Correio do Povo, Clube do Comércio, Editora Globo and Previdência do Sul, the Cinema Imperial, the Guarany Cinema, the Carvalho Pharmacy, the Alpes Bar and Restaurant, the Chaves Gallery and the Gasômetro Power Station.

The church dates back to Norman times but was almost entirely rebuilt in the 1860s, at a cost of £1,400 (), with only the Norman tower remaining. The rebuilding largely made use of the original stone.
Inside of the church is a Norman water font, a cresset thought to have come from Kirkham Priory, and a memorial to George Montaigne, Squire of Westow, who fought on the Royalist side in the English Civil War.
In the church's graveyard, the former residents of Westow are buried on one side, those of Firby on another, and those of Menethorpe on another—as the church is roughly equidistant from each settlement.

She’s a great chance of going on the tour to Zimbabwe in the new year”.
She would make her Women's T20 International (WT20I) debut against Zimbabwe on 2 Feb 2024 during Ireland Women's tour of Zimbabwe but did not get a chance to bat in the match.
