70197145 | George Buchanan (surgeon) | George Buchanan, MD, LRCS (1827 – 1905) was a Scottish surgeon.
Life
George Buchanan, born at Glasgow on 29 March 1827, was son of Moses Steven Buchanan (1796 – 1860) and Agnes Leechman, his wife. The father, who was surgeon to the Royal Infirmary and lecturer on anatomy in the Portland Street Medical School from 1836 to 1841, was appointed in the latter year Professor of Anatomy in the Andersonian University.
George was educated at the University of Glasgow, where he graduated MA in 1846. Three years later, after studying under his father and others at the Andersonian University, he became MD St. Andrews and LRCS Edinburgh, and in 1852 Fellow of the Royal Faculty of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow. In early life he allowed the advantages of chloroform anaesthesia to be demonstrated upon himself, his father being the operator. He began to practise in Glasgow, but in 1856 went to the Crimea as a civil surgeon. He returned to Glasgow at the end of the war, and was one of the first to practise there purely as a consulting surgeon. In 1860, when he succeeded his father as Professor of Anatomy in the Andersonian University, he was also appointed surgeon to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary. There he had as a colleague Joseph Lister (afterwards Lord Lister), who was led by the prevalence of septic diseases in the wards to the great work of his life the introduction of the antiseptic method of wound treatment. Buchanan thus had the earliest opportunity of becoming acquainted with methods whereby the practice of surgery was revolutionised. He soon became known as a bold and skilful operator and as a good teacher. He first pointed out (1865 and 1867) the possibility and safety of removing half the tongue in cases of cancer. He was amongst the earlier surgeons to remove the upper jaw (1864 and 1869). He gave reasons for preferring lithotrity to lithotomy in operating for stone in the adult male (1868) and he was the first (1863) to perform ovariotomy successfully in the west of Scotland. When the Western Infirmary was opened he was transferred thither, and held the post of Professor of Clinical Surgery from 1874 until 1900, when he retired with the title of Emeritus Professor of Clinical Surgery in the University of Glasgow and settled at Stirling. There he died on 19 April 1905.
He married Jessie, daughter of Patrick Blair of Irvine, and left one son, Dr. G. Burnside Buchanan, assistant surgeon to the Western Infirmary, Glasgow.
Buchanan published Camp Life as seen by a Civilian (Glasgow, 1871), and he re-edited and largely rewrote (Sir) Erasmus Wilson's Anatomist's Vade Mecum (London, 1873; 2nd edit. 1880).

70197217 | Elizabeth Philippa Biddulph | Lady Elizabeth Philippa Biddulph (, Yorke, after first marriage, Adeane, after second marriage, Biddulph; 15 November 1834 – January 1916) was an English humanitarian and temperance leader. She published a biography of her father, Charles Yorke, 4th Earl of Hardwicke, and was appointed a Woman of the Bedchamber by Queen Victoria.
Early life
Lady Elizabeth (nickname, "Lady Libbet") Philippa Yorke was born in England, 15 November 1834. She was a daughter and eldest child of the Charles Yorke, 4th Earl of Hardwicke, and Susan, sixth daughter of Thomas Liddell, 1st Baron Ravensworth. Until her marriage, she lived at Wimpole Hall and was her father's constant companion, sharing in his interests, political and other, including his love of the sea. Her relationships constituted a large social circle, including her mother and her mother's sisters, Lady Normanby, Lady Barrington, and Lady Bloomfield.
Career
In 1860, she married Henry John Adeane, M.P., of Babraham Hall, Cambridgeshire. The couple traveled abroad, and her knowledge of foreign languages, especially of French, which she spoke faultlessly, made foreign travel and society agreeable to her. Italy, she visited more than once with her husband, and after his death; but France was the country of her preference.
After being widowed in 1870, and left to care for their three children, including a son, Charles, Lady Elizabeth was appointed a Woman of the Bedchamber by Queen Victoria, who showed her constant kindness, and Lady Elizabeth was present at all the impressive ceremonies, such as the two Jubilees and the marriage of the King and Queen, which marked the closing years of the Queen's reign. She also spent time with her circle of friends, rich and poor. Holidays were enjoyed at Wimpole or at Sydney Lodge, Hamble-le-Rice, the other home of her family on Southampton Water, built her her grandfather, Admiral Sir Joseph Sydney Yorke.
Although brought up in Tory surroundings, Lady Elizabeth was by nature liberal and broadminded. Her work in Bethnal Green in the early 1870s, she lived mainly in London, gave her opportunity to see the life and temptations of the poor. Of these, she was always of the opinion that alcohol consumption was the worst.
In 1877, she married Michael Biddulph, afterward Baron Biddulph of Ledbury, Herefordshire, a member of the banking firm of Cocks, Biddulph, and Co., London. Mr. Biddulph was raised to the peerage in 1903. Of this marriage, there were no children.
Lady Elizabeth was led to join a temperance society in Ledbury through the unwillingness of her physician, the eminent Sir Andrew Clark, to prescribe alcoholic stimulants for her during an attack of illness. His prescription of total abstinence resulted in such positive benefit that she took the total-abstinence pledge and put on the blue ribbon, becoming an active worker in the cause of temperance reform. She was soon afterward elected president of the Ledbury Temperance Union. She also united with the Rechabites and the Good Templars. During 1896-98, she was president of the Women's Total Abstinence Union.
Besides her activities in the temperance cause, Lady Elizabeth devoted much of her time to the relief of the poor, and the promotion of various movements for the better care of the sick and dependent classes. She was a patron of the Ledbury Cottage Hospital.
In 1910, she published a biography of her father, Charles Philip Yorke, fourth Earl of Hardwicke : a memoir by his daughter, the Lady Biddulph of Ledbury.
Personal life
Lady Elizabeth was a member of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert.
She died at her London home in January 1916. Burial was at the churchyard of Babraham Hall.

70197323 | Siegfried Wagner (politician) | Siegfried Wagner (3 March 1925 - 2 August 2001) was an East German party official who served as chairman of the Arts and Culture Committee of the Party Central Committee. In view of the highly centralised nature of the Leninist political power structure under which the country was administered, that position may have been of greater importance than his office as a government minister, In any event, reflecting the importance attached to culture and the arts by the government, he was a relatively high-profile political member of the East German arts establishment through the 1970s and 1980s. Starting during the 1970s he was also listed the books of the Ministry for State Security as an "Inoffizieller Mitarbeiter" (IM), providing secret reports on colleagues and others of interest to the country's vast "Stasi" homeland security department under his code name, "IM Meister".
Life
Provenance and early years
Siegfried Wagner was born at Hildesheim, a traditionally prosperous midsized town in the countryside south of Hannover. His father was an orchestral musician. He was still not quite 8 when the Hitler government took power: the later years of his childhood were spent under National Socialism. Between 1936 and 1942 he belonged to the "Hitler Youth" organisation. He passed his "Abitur" (exam) in 1943, which under normal circumstances would have opened the way for university level eduction. Under the war-time conditions of the time, however, on leaving school he was conscripted into the army. In September 1944 he was captured in France: he was held as a prisoner of war by the U.S. military till 1946. On his release he returned hime to Hildesheim, which since May 1945 had been administered as part of the British occupation zone (after May 1949 part of West Germany). During the middle part of 1946 he relocated to Greiz, south of Gera in the south-east of Thuringia, administered since 1945 as part of the Soviet occupation zone (after October 1949 part of East Germany). Across Germany the rubble had been cleared, but there was still an urgent need for workers to help with the rebuilding of the towns and cities, and Wagner's initial employment was as a building worker. Still in 1946 - and still aged only 21 - he was offered and accepted a post as first secretary of the local leadership team with the "Freie Deutsche Jugend" / FDJ (loosely, "Young Comminists") in Greiz. At around the same time he joined the newly formed Socialist Unity Party, created in April 1946 by means of a still contentious merger between the Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party. (Irrespective of the hopes and aspirations of those who engineered it, the party merger was effective only within the borders of the Soviet occupation zone.) Between 1947 and 1949 he was enrolled as a social sciences student at Leipzig, combining his studies with a role as a party secretary at the university. Between 1950 and 1952 he worked as an instructor with the Popular Education office of the Culture Department. He was also involved with the department as head of its Training and Education Section. In 1952 he joined the party's regional leadership team ("Bezirksleitung") for the Leopzig district as Secretary for Culture and Popular Education, a post he retained till 1957. During this period he also found time to undertake a lengthy distance-learning course between 1953 and 1956 with the Karl Marx Party Academy: courses provided by the academy generally concerned government and administration.
National politics
Between 1957 and 1966 Siegfried Wagner worked in Berlin as head of the Arts and Culture department of the Party Central Committee, in succession to Hans Riesner. The eleventh plenum of the Party Central Committee, held in December 1965 marked something of a turning point both for the country and for the career of Siegfried Wagner. Hitherto these plenums had been set up as forums for economic planning discussions, but the eleventh turned out to be focused on the country's entire policy covering youth and cultural matters. As a result of plenum discussions twelve films produced in East German studios were banned, and leading artists, the best known of whom was Wolf Biermann, were banned from performing. Wagner was one of the principal seakers at the plenum. He launched an attack on "Das Kaninchen bin ich" ("I am the little rabbit") recently produced by the DEFA film studios, deriding the film as "a distortion of our socialist reality and the role played by the party". "Das Kaninchen bin ich" was bannd. He also condemned Biermann's "concoctions" and Stefan Heym's "omissions" as "contrary to the serious work of our artists and of so many arts institutions in developing our socialist national culture".
Films in East Germany were produced by the DEFA film studios which were believed to be under the control of the government. Accordingly, Wagner went on in his speech to deliver a powerful "Mea culpa" to delegates, who included two Politburo members, Paul Verner and Erich Honecker. He had, he admitted, badly misjudged the situation in respect of films he had already cited in his speech and others, such as "Denk bloß nicht, ich heule", which he should have blocked. Although unstinting in his contrition, he contuinued by explaining that one of the causes of the mistakes had been "Überbeschäftigung" at the Arts and Culture department of the Party Central Committee: his department had been given too many different responsibilities, "because a whole succession of senior comrades and responsible artists in positions of authority have little by little loaded absolutely everything onto the 'bottleneck' [department] under my own responsibility". He also pointed at "oppositional powers", among whom he singled out the dissident Robert Havemann, who were n ow coming out into the open. He went on to commend the measures that the party was taking against the singer-songwriter Wolf Biermann as the "long overdue response of the party". Despite the promises of future obedience implicit in the speech, Wagner was relieved of his position soon after that plenum session, because of his supposedly "liberal attitude towards the artists". As matters turned out that was not, as might at that time have been supposed, the end of Wagner's career as a senior government arts administrator.

70197408 | Phalaenopsis wilsonii | Phalaenopsis wilsonii, also known as 华西蝴蝶兰 (hua xi hu die lan) in Chinese, is a species of epiphyte in the family Orchidaceae, native to China, Tibet, Myanmar and Vietnam. Additionally it has been recorded in India.
Description
The 1 cm long stems produce 4-5 oblong to subelliptic, 6.5-8 cm long and 2.6-3 cm wide leaves and greenish, well developed, dorsiventrally flattened, verrucose roots. The leaves often show purple colouration of the abaxial surface and they are shed before flowering, but sometimes 1-2 leaves persist. Flowering occurs throughout April to July. Widely and simultaneously opening, pink flowers are produced on 1-2 suberect or arching, 10-15 flowered racemes.
The plants are epiphytes or lithophytes on damp rock found at elevations of 800-2200m a.s.l.
Taxonomy
This species is placed within the subgenus Aphyllae, which is characterised by deciduous leaflessness. A source of taxonomic confusion has been the missapplication of this species name to Phalaenopsis honghenensis. Phylogenetic analysis indicated Phalaenopsis wilsonii was closely related to Phalaenopsis lowii.
Conservation
This species has been categorized as vulnerable in China Species Red List. It is protected unter the CITES appendix II regulations of international trade.

70197439 | Sayajirao Road | Sayaji Rao Road, also known as Sayyajirao Road is a road in Mysore, India. It runs North from Agrahara circle at one end to Highway circle at the other.
History
This road was named after Sayajirao Gaekwad by Chamaraja Wodayar in 1893. Both then Yuvarajas were very good friends and Sayajirao Gaekwad named the road leading to the Lakshmi Vilas Palace, Vadodara through Gate-2 as Chamaraja Road in 1888. Similarly a road neighboring Mysore Palace was named Sayaji Rao Road when Sayajirao Gaekwad visited Mysore in late 1893. Another similarity between these stalwarts is both of them were adopted from Maharajas and went on to become the rulers of their Kingdom.
Chamaraja Road is also one of the busiest roads in the city and is lined on one side with retail stores, food outlets, restaurants and many more. It has many office buildings, shops and markets. It is also a home to many buildings and banks. Khanderao Market, which hosts the office of Vadodara Municipal Corporation and famous landmark in the city Kirti Stambh are located in this Road.
A Canal was constructed from Kaveri River to Mysore Palace in 1850s to meet the Water consumption demands of Mysore city. Project failed and turned into an unhygienic drainage that spreaded diseases and hence open ditch was closed and converted into a modern thoroughfare. Subsequently the road became the Vijaya Dasami procession route, replacing the congested commercial centre, Doddapete or present Ashoka Road, Mysore.

70197712 | Queen Wonhye | Queen Wonhye of the Ansan Gim clan (; d. 31 July 1022), posthumously and commonly known as Queen Mother Wonhye () was the 4th wife of King Hyeonjong of Goryeo, younger sister of Queen Wonseong and elder sister of Queen Wonpyeong.
She was born into the Ansan Gim clan as the mid and second daughter of Gim Eun-bu (김은부) and Lady Yi, daughter of Yi Heo-gyeom (이허겸) from the Incheon Yi clan. Alongside her elder sister, she entered King Hyeonjong's palace in around 1011 and then honoured as Princess Anbok (안복궁주, 安福宮主) while lived in "Anbok Palace" (안복궁, 安福宮), later changed into Princess Yeondeok (연덕궁주, 延德宮主) while lived in "Yeondeok Palace" (연덕궁, 延德宮).
However, in 1022 (13rd year reign of her husband), Lady Gim was died and three years later became Posthumously honoured as a Queen consort. She was also honoured as Queen Pyeonggyeong (평경왕후, 平敬王后) in 1027 and buried in Hoereung Tomb (회릉, 懷陵). After her eldest son ascended the throne as King Munjong, she was therefore honoured as "Queen Mother" (태후, 太后) and beside him, she also bore Hyeonjong a son and a daughter who would marry King Deokjong.

70197747 | Dectris | Dectris Ltd (, French, Italian, ) is a Swiss company producing photon counting X-ray detectors. These are used in synchrotrons worldwide as well as in laboratory imaging.
History
Dectris was founded in 2006 as a spin-off company by Christian Brönnimann, a researcher at the Paul Scherrer Institute, and three colleagues, Eric F. Eikenberry, Markus Näf, and Petr Salficky. In 2007 the company sold its first detector unit in the PILATUS series. In 2008 the MYTHEN detector was introduced followed by the EIGER in 2015.. In January 2022, Christian Brönnimann, who had been CEO since 2006 stepped down and Matthias Schneebeli (CTO since 2017) became the new CEO.
Products
Dectris mainly develops and produces hybrid photon counting X-ray detectors. Three different product lines have been launched which all take their names from Swiss mountains, Pilatus, Mythen, and Eiger. All detectors use direct detection, meaning that X-ray photons are directly converted to electron-hole pairs instead of using visible light as an intermediary. This improves efficiency significantly and enables much higher count rates.
In recent years Dectris has developed and started producing electron detectors.

70197856 | Sita Devi (painter) | Sita Devi (1914-2005) was an Indian artist, specializing in painting in the Madhubani tradition. She is one of the most well-known Madhubani artists from India, and was one of the first to receive national recognition for the art form, receiving a number of awards for her work including the Padma Shri (one of India's highest civilian honors) in 1981, as well as the Bihar Ratna Samman in 1984. She was influential in activism for local development in her village of Jitwarpur, in the state of Bihar, and taught Madhubani art to local residents, especially women, during her career in an effort to encourage financial stability. Her paintings have been praised for their individual style, particularly their use of color, have been widely exhibited, and are archived in India as well as in museums in France, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan.
Biography
Sita Devi was born in a village near Saharsa in the state of Bihar in 1914, and moved to the village of Jitwarpur after her marriage. She belonged to a Mahapatra Brahmin caste family. She was illiterate, but learned to paint as child by using leftover paint from local potters, and painting on the walls of her home in the local traditional Madhubani style. She died in 2005.
Career
Art
Sita Devi learned to paint in the traditional Madhubani folk art style, and was one of the first artists who transitioned from the cultural practice of painting murals on walls, to working on paper, enabling her to sell Madhubani paintings. This was done at the encouragement of government officials, who, instructed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, encouraged local residents in Bihar to sell their paintings to counteract the financial impact of a state-wide drought. She was a forerunner in bringing Madhubani art, originating in her state of Bihar, to national attention in India. In 1969, the Bihar government honored her with a state award for her contribution to arts and she went on to win several other awards, including one of India's highest civilian honors, the Padma Shri.
In the 1960s and 70s, Sita Devi, along with fellow artists Ganga Devi and Baua Devi, were some of the most notable forerunners and innovators in the Madhubani art style in India. Notably she popularised the bharni (filled) form of Madhubani art, employing color and shading applied over line art. Her imagery drew from traditional Mithila / Madhubani motifs, including figures from mythology and the natural world, but later incorporated scenes from places that she had traveled to, including the World Trade Center, Arlington National Cemetery, and skylines from New York City. in 1981, at the invitation of Japanese curator, Tokio Hasegawa, she was one of several Madhubani artists who visited Japan to paint and help establish the Mithila Museum in Tokamachi, and incorporated Japanese landscapes into her art during this visit.
She was an artist in residence at India's National Handicrafts and Handloom Museum, Delhi, where her work was popular in political circles, and particularly amongst former prime ministers such as Indira Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri. In 1978, she was commissioned to create a series of murals at the Akbar Hotel in New Delhi, a project on which she spent over a year.
During her lifetime, her work was exhibited widely in India and internationally, and is part of the permanent collections at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris, and the Mithila Museum in Japan. It continues to be in commercial demand in public and private collections.
Activism
Sita Devi was active in local politics in Bihar, chiefly in the fields of local infrastructure development and art education. Utilizing the public attention she had gained as an artist, she agitated for improvements to her village of Jitwarpur, such as the construction of roads, access to electricity, and the construction of schools. In addition, she taught Madhubani art to local residents, especially young women, and lobbied for government grants to teach painting.
Honors and Awards
1969: Bihar State Government Award for Madhubani art
1976: "Master Craftsman" Award from the President of India, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed
1981: Padma Shri, Government of India, for art
1984: Bihar Ratna Samman

70198201 | Adventures of the Lankaran Khanate Vizier | Adventures of the Lankaran Khanate Vizier ― is the third comedy of the Azerbaijani writer and playwright Mirza Fatali Akhundov, written in 1851. This is the first dramatic work played on the stage of the Azerbaijani theatre.
The comedy satirizes the corrupt and tyrannical rulers of the Azerbaijani khanates of the times on the eve of the Russian occupation. Actions take place in 1800-1801. The vizier of the Lankaran Khan, Mirza Habib, is presented as a tyrant outside the walls of his house, with the exception of the ruler, before whom he humiliates himself. However, by his own women he is humiliated and deceived. Also, in the comedy, against the background of the palace and family intrigues, the selfless love of the vizier's sister-in-law Nisa-khanum and the nephew of the khan Teimur-aga is shown.
History of the writing, translations and editions
The comedy was written in 1267 Hijri, which corresponds to either 1850 or 1851. Nevertheless, the 1853 publications show that it was written precisely in 1851. The original title of the comedy was "The Adventures of the Vizier of the Sarab Khanate". Under this title, in 1853, the comedy was published in the newspaper Kavkaz. In the same year, in the translation of the author himself, the comedy was published in Russian in Tiflis in the collection called “The Comedies of Mirza Fat-Ali Akhundov”.
In 1874, in the collection of Akhundov's works in Persian, the comedy was published under the title "The novel of the Lankaran Khanate Vizier." Referring to this, a number of Western European orientalists believed that the title of the work was changed by the translator of Akhundov's comedies into Persian, Mirza Mohammed Jafar Garajadagi. This view was also held for a long time by the Azerbaijani scholars of Akhundov. Nevertheless, the further research proved that Mirza Muhammad Jafar Garajadagi replaced the word "Sarab" with "Lankaran" directly at Akhundov's advice. The reason for this change was that the actions in the play take place and end in a seaside town, while Sarab is located far from the sea. The author, soon realizing this discrepancy, considered it important to change the scene. Information about this is found in Akhundov’s letter to the publicist Mirza Yusif Khan dated with 17 December 1873:
Mirza Yusif Khan informed the translator about Akhundov's desire, and he changed the name of the comedy. After that, the comedy started to be published under the title "The Adventures of the of the Lankaran Khanate Vizier".
In 1928, the comedy was released as a separate book.
Productions
Between 1852 to 1853, the comedy was successfully staged on the Russian stage in Tiflis.
On 10 (22) March 1873, this comedy was chosen to be the first Azerbaijani amateur performance staged in Baku. It was staged under the direction of Hasan-bey Zardabi and with the active participation of Najaf bey Vezirov. This was the beginning of the Azerbaijani theatre’s history. Akhundov learned about this event from the newspaper "Kavkaz" and in his letter to Hasan bey Zardabi wrote:
In 1897, when the comedy was preparing for staging in the house of Jahangir Zeynalov, there were not enough amateur actors to perform the episodic roles in the play. Then S. M. Ganizade and Habib bey Makhmudbeyov attracted their students - Huseyn Khalafov (Arablinsky) and Mir Makhmud Kazimovsky, who later became major figures of the Azerbaijani stage.
In 2009, the director Mardan Feyzullaev staged this play at the Moscow Firebird Theatre.
On 26 December 2012, on Akhundov's 200th anniversary, the comedy was staged at the Russian Drama Theatre named after A. S. Griboyedov in Tbilisi.

70198222 | Ducatina | Ducatina is a species of umbilicate lichen in the family Trapeliaceae. It is monotypic, containing the single species Ducatina umbilicata. Both the genus and species were described as new to science in 2017 by Damien Ertz and Ulrik Søchting. The lichen is widespread and abundant in the remote subantarctic Crozet and Kerguelen Islands in the Indian Ocean, where it grows on the exposed horizontal surfaces of rocks. According to the authors, the thallus morphology is "reminiscent of a weathered metal coin (with the idea that it was hidden on remote islands by some unknown pirates)"; the name Ducatina, derived from the word ducatus, refers to this.

70198289 | Kusaka Shell Mound | The is an archaeological site in the Kusaka neighborhood of the city of Higashiōsaka, Osaka Prefecture, in the Kansai region of Japan containing a Jōmon period shell midden. It was designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1972 .
Overview
During the early to middle Jōmon period (approximately 4000 to 2500 BC), sea levels were five to six meters higher than at present, and the ambient temperature was also 2 deg C higher. During this period, the Kansai region was inhabited by the Jōmon people, many of whom lived in coastal settlements. The middens associated with such settlements contain bone, botanical material, mollusc shells, sherds, lithics, and other artifacts and ecofacts associated with the now-vanished inhabitants, and these features, provide a useful source into the diets and habits of Jōmon society. Most of these middens are found along the Pacific coast of Japan.
The Kusaka midden is located at the tip of an alluvial fan formed at the western foot of Mount Ikoma. It is unusual that the majority (99%) of the shell found within are from freshwater shellfish, mostly Seta-shijimi, with diameters of 24-30 mm, but also nine other freshwater species. However, in the lower layers of the middle were 13 species of saltwater clams, including sazae and oysters. Around 6000 BC the midden was located on a lagoon (Kawachi Bay) which extended from Osaka Bay inland into the Kawachi Plain due to the Holocene glacial retreat. As sea levels rose, the lagoon transitioned into a brackish and then a freshwater lake, as "documented" by the change in species of shellfish. In addition to the shells and fish bones, the middens yielded 34 sets of human remains, mostly burials in various positions, and in which teeth have been ritually removed. Other artifacts found in excavations include a large amount of Jōmon pottery, stone tools, bone tools, dogū figurines and animal bones, including that of a horse.
The discovery of the ruins dates back to the early twentieth century. In 1952, Jōmon pottery excavated from the Kusaka shell mound included the Kamegaoka style pottery from the late Jōmon period in the Tōhoku region. This was the first time that pottery from the late Jomon period in the Tōhoku region had been confirmed in the Kansai region. After World War II, the site was excavated in 1960, and 1966. The site is located a 20-minute walk from Ishikiri Station on the Kintetsu Railway Kintetsu Nara Line.

70198296 | USS PCE-867 | USS PCE-867 was a for the United States Navy during World War II. She was renamed ROCS Yong Tai (PCE-41) and ROCS Shan Hai (PCE-62) after being acquired by the Republic of China Navy on 7 February 1948.
Construction and career
PCE-867 was laid down by Albina Engineer & Machine Works, Portland on 8 July 1942 and launched on 3 December 1942. She was commissioned on 20 June 1943.
After the war on 12 September 1945, she was transferred to the Republic of China Navy as ROCS Yong Tai (PCE-35) in accordance with the Sino-US Naval Ship Lend-Lease Act. The ship's first captain was Lieutenant Colonel Wang Enhua. On 8 June 1947, the Yong Tai was on its way from Huludao to Qingdao when a bloody tragedy occurred, and the new second lieutenant trainee ship officer Ji Rui, suddenly armed with a gun in the official hall, fired 7 shots in public; the captain, Lieutenant Colonel Li Yuxi was injured. The naval officer Zheng Jiamo was unfortunately shot to death, and two other officers were also injured; after the murderer, Tu did not commit suicide. The warship then arrived in Qingdao on the 17th, and the Qingdao naval authorities attached great importance to this.
On 1 January 1954, the naval fleet divided patrol ships and minesweepers into different fleets. The fleet retained the original designation, while the patrol ships were renamed; thus, Yong Tai was renamed. It was named Shan Hai, and its designation was changed from PCE-41 to PCE-62.
In the middle of the night of 13 November 1954, the ship and the Linhuai were in the southeast sea of Wuqiu. The naval battle with the Chinese ships during the First Taiwan Strait Crisis were listed as follows according to the battle reports issued by the Ministry of National Defense and the Navy Headquarters: The war news released by the Information Bureau of the Ministry of National Defense at 8:00 am on the 14th said: 11:30 midnight on November 13th. Five points, one each of our naval gunboat and minesweeper was on patrol in the southeast of Wuqiu with eight gunboats. One ship encountered, two hours of fierce battle, sunk four hostile gunboats, seriously damaging one, the rest of the enemy ships escaped, the battle report was fork. It was said that the gunboat has arrived at the Wuqiu defense area, and the minesweeper was seriously damaged and later ordered to abandoned ship.
Later in 1954, the ship was renamed Shan Hai with pennant number PCE-62. Shan Hai would then be scrapped on an unknown date.

70198320 | Vladimir Mijanović | Vladimir Mijanović (Mosko near Trebinje, 15 August 1946 — Belgrade, 6 May 2021), also known as Vlada “Revolucija” (Revolution), was a Serbian human rights activist and leader of 1968 student demonstrations in Yugoslavia.
Biography
Vladimir Mijanović was born in 1946 in Trebinje. He studied sociology at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philosophy. During his studies, he participated in the protests against the Vietnam War in 1966 in Belgrade.
As president of the Faculty Board of the Student Union, he became one of the leaders of 1968 student demonstrations, especially because of his extraordinary organizational skills. On 3 June 1968 he lead a protest rally from the student campus, occupying the University Rectorate, where students founded the “Karl Marx Red University” and proclaimed a general strike until their requirements are fulfilled.
Because of his participation in the protest, he was expelled from the university, proclaimed a dissident and a disturber of constitutional order, which lead to his arrest in July 1970. He was accused of organizing the hunger strike of students of the Faculty of Philosophy in a show of solidarity with Kakanj miners, printing a satirical magazine called “Frontisterion”, active involvement in defense of periodicals that were repressed at the time (“Student”, “Susret”, “Vidici”) and organizing a protest against the War in Cambodia. His arrest and sentence to 20 months in prison (later commuted to 12 months) caused a two-week student strike and reactions of foreign intellectuals, including Noam Chomsky who described Mijanović as “the hope and the conscience of the Yugoslav revolution”.
He was one of the founders of the dissident Free University in 1976, even the founding meeting was held in his apartment. At the time, this was the only dissident organization in Yugoslavia. Because of this he was again arrested in 1984, with a group of five other intellectuals, who became famous as the “Belgrade Six”, and accused of “counter-revolutionary activities”, even though the accusations were later dismissed. The process against the “Belgrade Six” lead to an equally strong reaction from around the world, including a petition of 130 prominent Western public figures that was submitted to Yugoslav Presidency because of the process.
As the régime's persona non grata, Mijanović was systematically deprived of opportunities for work, his civil liberties were limited, and his passport was taken away. When, at the urging of Zoran Radmilović, he got work as a background actor in the series “Više od igre” (“More than a game”) in 1976, all shots in which he appeared were cut during editing.
In 1986, Mijanović left Yugoslavia for the USA, where he lived with his wife and two children, earning a livelihood by doing manual labor; he also worked as a taxi driver for some time. Even though he did not have necessary documents for permanent residence in the US, he participated in protests of various leftist movements, including anti-war movements, and movements for the abolition of death penalty.
Upon his return to Serbia in 2006 he lived modestly and out of the public eye, but he still actively participated in protests and marches in defense of human rights, including protests against evictions and bailiffs, ecological protests against cutting down trees, against small-scale hydropower plants and against genetically modified organisms; he was also active in providing help to Middle Eastern and African refugees. He designed and painted many hundreds of banners that were carried on numerous protests, displayed on barricades in Kosovo and Metohija, and were even a subject of a dedicated exhibition in France.
Since 1966 and throughout his life, Vladimir Mijanović had, in line with his own individual and moral principles, selflessly pursued the fight against tyranny, for human rights, human dignity and freedom, and his sincere convictions, perseverance under adversites and personal example made him into a tireless teacher to new generations of activists.

70198335 | Île aux Fouquets | Île aux Fouquets (also known as Île au Phare, Lighthouse Island) is an island off the south-east coast of Mauritius.
The island is of pure coral origin and has had Islet National Park status since June 5, 2004. It is located about five kilometers off the south-eastern coast in the vicinity of the islands of Ilot Vacoas and Île de la Passe. South of the islands is the only opening in the coral reef through which larger ships can pass. The size of the Île aux Fouquets is 2.49 hectares. According to the German zoologist Karl August Möbius, the name of the island goes back to a species of tern that bred in caves there and was called fouquet by the fishermen.
Around 1694, refugee Huguenots lived for a few years on the Île aux Fouquets under the direction of the Frenchman François Leguat. They had previously tried to establish a Protestant republic called Eden on the island of Rodrigues, 580 kilometers to the east. However, they broke off the project on the quite fertile island out of loneliness and decided to sail to Mauritius on a self-built barge without anchor and compass. Having safely arrived there, for unknown reasons they came into conflict with the Dutch governor, who banished them to the treeless Île aux Fouquets. Only years later were the men taken from there to the island of Java.
In 1810, not far from the Île aux Fouquets, the naval battle of Grand Port took place, which the French won. A good fifty years later, long after they had conquered Mauritius, the British erected a lighthouse on the island. The building from 1864 is now a ruin but is a listed building. The island offers a good view of the surrounding islands, the coast and the prominent Lion Mountain.

70198340 | Kōnoike Shinden | The was a new land development undertaken by a wealthy Osaka merchant, Konoike Zen'emon in mid-Edo Period Japan. It was located in central Kawachi Province in what is now part of the city of Higashiōsaka, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. The well-preserved buildings of the management office of the settlement were designated a National Historic Site of Japan in 1976.
Overview
In 1704, the Tokugawa shogunate completed a large-scale flood control project which diverted the course of the Yamato River and drained a large lake in what is now the northern portion of Higashiosaka. This resulted in a large tract of land becoming available for paddy fields. A wealthy Osaka merchant, the Konoike family, won a bid for development rights over a 119 hectare area, and settled farmers from afar away as Ise Province on these new lands. The main place of residence for settlers was named Konoikehonmachi, which had many waterways, as the settlers used boats for transportation of the harvested rice to the central warehouse. With the establishment of the modern municipalities system in 1889, the area became part of the village of Kitae in Nakakawachi District Osaka. After World War II, a large portion of the area was transformed into a residential area; however, the 13th generation of the original settlers still farm a portion of the land.
The was completed in 1707 as the management office of the settlement. The office was responsible for the maintenance and repair of fields, waterways, and bridges, collecting taxes and tenant's fees, official registration of households, pensions for the elderly, and providing police and other public services. It was located in a trapezoidal area surrounded by moats and a wall, and contained five buildings: the main office, Warehouses, Library, Granary and Tool Shed. All of these buildings have survived in good condition, and were designated as a National Important Cultural Properties in 1980. They are currently owned and managed by Higashiosaka City and were opened to the public as a museum in 1997. It is about a five-minute walk from Konoikeshinden Station on the JR West Katamachi Line.

70198375 | Kawachidera temple ruins | The , is an archaeological site with the ruins of a Asuka period Buddhist temple located in the Kawachi neighborhood of the city of Higashiōsaka, Osaka, Japan. The temple no longer exists, but the temple grounds were designated as a National Historic Site in 2008 with the area under protection expanded in 2016
Overview
The Kawachi-dera ruins are located on gently sloping ground at an elevation of 20 meters at the western foot of the Ikoma Mountains in the eastern part of Higashiosaka. Immediately to the northwest of the ruins is the Taraike ruins, which is believed to be the Nara period administrative center for Kawachi County. Per archaeological excavations, the foundations for a mid-7th century temple complex with an arrangement of buildings on a south-to-north alignment patterned after Shitennō-ji in Osaka was discovered. The remains of the pagoda foundation, 10.7 meters square and 1.4 meters high was found to be in particularly good condition. Analysis of the excavated roof tiles confirm that the Kondo and cloister date from the middle of the 7th century, and the pagoda from a little later in the 7th century. The temple was abandoned around the end of the Kamakura period, based on a bowl dated to the beginning of the 14th century which was found in the sediment which covered the foundation stones. From historical documentation, is believed that this temple was constructed by an influential toraijin clan, the Kawachi-no-atai, who may have been the same as the "Oshikochi no Kuni no miyatsuko" who ruled ancient Kawachi Province. This area of Kawachi was known to have a large population of settlers from Baekje in late Kofun period into the Asuka period. The temple later became the official temple associated with the county-level administrative center with the developed of the ritsuryo system of local governments in the Nara period.
The site is preserved as an archaeological park, and is about a ten-minute walk from Hyotanyama Station on the Kintetsu Railway Kintetsu Nara Line.

70198392 | Chandra Varma | Chandra Varma is the name of the legendary ancestor of the Kodavas (Kodagas, Coorgs or Coorgis).
Sources
The legend of Chandra Varma is found in four chapters (11 to 14) of the Kaveri Purana which is part of the Skanda Purana.
Kadamba Origin
According to Col Wilks, B L Rice and B D Ganapathy, the Coorgs or Kodagus (Kodavas) were Kadambas who were ruled by a leader named Chandra Varma.
Legend
Chandra Varma was the fourth son of King Siddartha of Matsyadesha. He led an army and arrived at Brahmagiri hill in Kodagu (Coorg). A devotee of Parvathi, Chandra Varma went on a pilgrimage across peninsular India with his army to Jagannath, Kanchi, Chidambaram, Srirangam, Dhanushkoti, Rameshwaram and Ananthasayana and became the first king of Kodagu.
His sons married the daughters of the king of Vidarbha. Chandra Varma was succeeded as king by his eldest son Devakanta. Legend has it that it was during the lifetime of Devakanta that the river Kaveri originated in Kodagu and flowed through South India. The Kaveri Purana states that Chandra Varma's progeny levelled the land, brought it under cultivation and invited Brahmins and other castes to settle the region.

70198518 | Reflexive control | Reflexive control - influence on the decisions made by the opponent by shoving (imposing) him such assumptions on the basis of which he acts in the way desired by the manipulator.
Methods of reflexive control are widely used in a variety of fields: advertising, public relations, military art, etc. An example of such a strategy could be a card shark deliberately losing the first games in the game, systematic diversionary attacks on an unimportant area of combat, etc..
Introduction
As defined by Soviet scholar V. Lefebvre reflexive control is a process in which one adversary hands over to the other the basis for decision-making.». In other words, there is a substitution of motivation factors of the enemy in order to encourage him to take disadvantageous decisions.
Professor G. Smolyan believes that the key point of reflexive control is implicitly forcing a subject to choose a desired result. As an aphoristic example of reflexive manipulation we can recall an episode from "Uncle Remus's Tales" in which Brother Rabbit eludes Brother Fox by asking:
The oldest of those literary heroes who specialized in reflexive control is considered to be the biblical serpent who provoked Eve to taste the forbidden fruit. The category of typical provocateurs can also include one of the famous characters of the Swedish writer Astrid Lindgren, who terrorized the housewife Freken Bock with a simple question. Lindgren, who terrorized the housewife Freken Bock with a simple question:
Individual techniques of reflexive control called "stratagems" have occupied an important place in the history of military art since ancient times. For example, Sun Tzu put in the title of the first chapter of one of his treatises the statement "War is the way of deception," thus defining the craft of warfare as the art of deception.
The preconditions for the actual emergence of the theory of reflexive control can be found in the Soviet military literature of the mid-20th century; four main stages are distinguished in the process of its improvement:
from the early 1960s to the late 1970s: research,
late 1970s to early 1990s: practice-oriented,
from the beginning to the middle of the 1990s: psychological and pedagogical,
since the late 1990s: psychosocial.
Among the most authoritative scientists who dealt with the tasks of reflexive control, in addition to V. Lefebvre, the works of D. Pospelov, V. Burkov, V. Lepsky, G. Shchedrovitsky and others are noted. In addition to them, the artistic aspects of the subject of reflexive control were reflected in the works of some major writers, for example, V. Pelevin.
Military application
General provisions
A formally approved terminology of reflexive control did not exist in the military art in the past; nevertheless, its tools were intuitively recognized and were actively used in attempts to calculate the actions of an adversary or to create an erroneous impression of him/herself.
According to some Russian military experts, applied aspects of reflexive control, having geopolitical significance, are an effective tool for conducting information warfare and can have significant advantages over traditional methods of using military means. Exploiting moral stereotypes of behavior, psychological factors, personal information about the command personnel (biographical data, habits, etc.) reflexive control makes it possible to increase the chances of achieving victory, but it is noted that this tactic requires information about the enemy with a high degree of detail and quality.
Among the tools of reflexive control are also listed camouflage (at all levels), disinformation, provocation, blackmail, compromising, etc., whose vector of action is aimed more at the hard to grasp and subjectively perceived elements of "military art" than at the more objective concepts of "military science". Modern computerization can make it difficult to use reflexive control methods because their application is easily revealed by mathematical modeling. Nevertheless, one cannot dismiss the existence of a broad class of exceptions where machine intelligence may lack an intuitive understanding of real reality.
In reviewing Russian research on the use of the arsenal of reflexive control for military purposes, the American scholar T.L. Thomas singled out the work of Colonel S.A. Komov as the most productive military theorist in this area..In his publications, Komov made extensive use of developments from the field of reflexive management under the name of "intellectual methods of information warfare," highlighting the following main elements.:
Distraction through a real or perceived threat to one of the enemy's key positions (on the flanks, in the rear, etc.) during preparations for military action,
overloading through supplying the enemy with large volumes of self-contradictory information,
paralysis, creating the illusion of pinpointed threats to vital interests or the most vulnerable locations,
exhaustion, forcing the adversary to expend resources to perform unproductive activities,
deception, provoking the enemy to redeploy forces to the threatened area in preparation for military action,
splitting, forcing the enemy to act against the interests of his allies,
appeasement, by lowering vigilance and creating the illusion that routine training, rather than preparations for offensive actions, are taking place,
intimidation, by creating the appearance of invincible superiority,
provocation, through the imposition of an unfavorable scenario of action,
suggestion, through the presentation of information material that influences legally, morally, ideologically or in other spheres,
pressure, through the presentation of information material that discredits the government in the eyes of the population.
Another domestic researcher who attracted interest abroad was Professor F. Chausov, who formulated the following principles of reflexive management:
principle of purposefulness — the process should be goal-oriented, involving the full range of necessary measures of reflexive management, principle of actualization - there should be an "updating" of planning, providing a fairly complete picture of the intellectual potential of the command and staff, especially in situations related to the global information space,
principle of conformity - mutual consistency of goals, place, time and methods of reflexive management must be observed,
simulation principle — one should not forget about forecasting and modeling the actions and states of the opposing side during the execution of reflexive control'' procedures,
principle of anticipation - current events must be anticipated and anticipated.
In addition, when using reflexive management, Chausov gave an assessment of risk, the essence of which boils down to the danger of making a mistake if you misjudge the consequences. With this approach, the maximum risk would be if the adversary unravels the plan himself.
One well-known example of the effective use of the theory of reflexive control was the disinformation work of the Soviet secret services to create an exaggerated impression on the American side of the shock potential of Soviet nuclear weapons. To this end, fake models of intercontinental ballistic missiles were developed for participation in Red Square parades, and their appearance was immediately reflected in the reports of foreign attachés to their superiors. The next stage was to provide indirect evidence of the real existence of these missile systems, which would then divert the resources of foreign developers to unsuccessful attempts to reproduce the allegedly "new" technology.
Similarly, British intelligence conducted disinformation support for the Allied landings in Sicily, codenamed Operation Mincemeat. For this purpose, a dead British serviceman was planted in the sight of the Reich's special services with a set of skilfully fabricated documents describing an alleged British landing operation in the Peloponnese and Sardinia. Judging by these plans, the informational screen for this landing was to be demonstrative preparations for a fake attack on Sicily. The German leadership carried out a set of works to strengthen the Greek coast, redeployed there a tank division, but quite unexpectedly for them the main blow was struck in Sicily.
Domestic researchers believe that another textbook example of reflexive control is the American Strategic Defense Initiative program, which forced the Soviet Union to spend significant resources to develop a similar space system.
According to a number of foreign researchers, manipulative methods from the field of reflexive control form the basis of Russia's new concept of military action in the 21st century, which in the West has been called the ".». At the same time, some publications have been critical of the applied aspects of this theory, and it has even been called pseudoscientific.
