How Jesus Became God
|
How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher from Galilee is a book by American New Testament scholar Bart D. Ehrman. Published on March 25, 2014, by HarperOne, the book contends that the historical Jesus did not claim to be divine, nor was he worshipped as such during his life; rather, his status as God the Son in the Trinity in Christian doctrine developed in the years following his crucifixion.
Overview
In How Jesus Became God, Ehrman argues that the historical Jesus did not claim divinity and was not worshipped as divine during his lifetime. Instead, the belief in Jesus as divine arose shortly after his crucifixion, and that the belief in Jesus as God the Son, an incarnation of God and the second divine person (or "prosopon") in the Trinity in Christian doctrine, developed in the following decades.
Speaking to Terry Gross on the NPR radio talk show Fresh Air, Ehrman stated that, "In this book I actually do not take a stand on either the question of whether Jesus was God, or whether he was actually raised from the dead. I leave open both questions because those are theological questions based on religious beliefs and I'm writing the book as a historian."
Reception
John Murawski of The Charlotte Observer wrote that the questions raised by the book may appear new and unorthodox to "the casual churchgoer, [...] but [such] disagreements were raging back in the fourth century." Muraswki adds that "Ehrman's arguments are meticulously supported with citations from the Gospels and the Epistles. His critics will be quick to point out that whenever Scriptural passages contradict his thesis – such as quotes attributed to Jesus claiming 'I and the Father are one' – Ehrman simply says those passages are embellishments or fabrications. Still, I've personally yet to meet a Christian who believes that Jesus walked about Galilee declaring: 'I'm the Second Person of the Trinity!
Larry W. Hurtado, in his review of the book for The Christian Century, wrote that its conclusions about Jesus not claiming to be divine, as well as belief in his divinity only developing after his crucifixion, will not be novel to those familiar with New Testament scholarship and views on the historical Jesus. Hurtado wrote that "Ehrman's book is intended for readers generally unacquainted with this scholarly work," and that "Ehrman clearly seeks not simply to inform but also to stir controversy" among a readership of Christians, agnostics, and skeptics. Hurtado argues that, while "Ehrman is often good at making scholarly arguments accessible, [...] in a few matters he oversimplifies or misconstrues things, and in other cases his claims and arguments appear one-sided."
A responding book, How God Became Jesus: The Real Origins of Belief in Jesus' Divine Nature, was published simultaneously by Zondervan, a Christian imprint of HarperCollins. Ehrman published an essay in response to How God Became Jesus on his website.

Scaramouche (Milhaud)
|
Scaramouche Op.165 is a suite of music composed by Darius Milhaud. The suite is based on incidental music Milhaud composed for two theatrical productions: Le médecin volant and Bolivar. Scaramouche draws inspiration from various sources, with each of the suite's three movements being of a distinct character. Milhaud's characteristic use of polytonality can be heard throughout the piece.
Scaramouche was composed as a piano duo in 1937 at the request of Marguerite Long and was premiered at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne the same year. The suite was later arranged for various ensembles due to the piece's popularity, including arrangements for solo saxophone or clarinet with orchestra.
History
Inspiration
The music in Scaramouche is taken from incidental music that Milhaud composed for two plays. The first and third movements are inspired by themes composed for Henri Pascar's production of Molière's Le médecin volant (The Flying Doctor); it is from here that Scaramouche gets its name, as Pascar's group of players was named the Théatre Scaramouche. Movement two takes its theme from the overture of Jules Supervielle's Bolivar.
Milhaud drawn from very different sources in each movement of Scaramouche. The first movement, Vif, has been likened to a cross between folk-song melodies and nursery rhymes. Movement two hints at the French overture style, used by Johann Sebastian Bach and other Baroque composers. The third movement, Brazileira, is a samba inspired by Milhaud's prior time in Brazil: he had spent two years in Rio de Janeiro serving as secretary to the French ambassador Paul Claudel during the First Wold War.
Composition and first performance
Scaramouche was composed by Milhaud in 1937 as a suite of music for two pianos. It was written for Marguerite Long, a French pianist who wished for two of her students (Marcelle Meyer and Ida Jankelevitch) to play the work at the 1937 Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne. Although it largely used music that Milhaud had composed previously, composing the suite did not come easy: Milhaud said "it gave me enormous trouble".
Scaramouche was published by Milhaud's friend, the printer Raymond Deiss after he requested to do so. Milhaud attempted to deter Deiss from publishing the suite, assuming that the music would not sell and prove a wasted investment — at the time printed sheet music was proving unpopular. Deiss refused to be dissuaded by Milhaud and proceeded to print the first edition. The piece became a success; on the subject, Milhaud stated that "the future ended up proving [Deiss] right".
Nazi censorship
As Milhaud was Jewish (his father was from an Ashkenazi Jewish family and his mother was born to a Sephardi Jewish family), he was forced to leave France for the United States in 1940 due to the Nazi occupation of France. During the Nazi censorship of works by Jewish individuals, Scaramouche (along with Milhaud's other works) was banned.
Undeterred by the Nazi censorship, Mercel Meyer, alongside another pianist, organised a performance of Scaramouche on 1 June 1943 at the École Normale de Musique de Paris. To evade the ban on Milhaud's works, the performers were forced to attempt to trick the censors. The pianists used anagrams to provide a pseudonym for both Milhaud and the suite; they changed Darius Milhaud to become Hamid-al-Usurid while Scaramouche was changed to be Mous Are-chac. The performance managed to successfully take place, avoiding any censorship from the Nazi authorities.
Structure
Scaramouche consists of three movements:
A full playing of the suite lasts approximately eight to nine minutes. Polytonality, a distinctive element of Milhuad's composing style, is used consistently throughout the suite.
Reception
Audiences of the time received Scaramouche very well, which surprised Milhaud. The piece was a large success for Milhaud and continues to be one of his most popular works. Scaramouche has become a standard piece in both piano duo and classical saxophone repertoire; according to musicologist Paul Collaer, the suite "has earned itself an incomparably popular place in twentieth-century two-piano literature". In a 1970 interview, Milhaud stated that he considered Scaramouche to be one of his most successful pieces but said it was "a work that is not important". He believed that the suite did not deserve to be so popular as to the point of overshadowing some of his other compositions. The New York Times included Scaramouche on their 1974 list of "Milhaud's Major Works".
Arrangements
The original version of Scaramouche was written as a piano duo (Op.165b) in 1937. Due to the suite's popularity, Milhaud later arranged it for various different ensembles. A particularly successful arrangement was made for saxophone and orchestra (Op.165c) and was published in 1939 by Éditions Salabert. This arrangement premiered on Radio Paris in June 1940 with a performance from A. Muhle on saxophone alongside the Radio Paris Orchestra.
On the request of jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman, Milhaud arranged the piece for clarinet and orchestra (Op.165d, published 1941 by Éditions Salabert); Goodman premiered the arrangement in New York in 1941. Goodman was said to prefer the arrangement of Scaramouche over Milhaud's Concerto for Clarinet, which was written specifically for him.
Other composers have arranged Scaramouche as well. Arrangements exist for wind band (Joseph Willcox Jenkins), violin and piano (Jascha Heifetz), saxophone and wind quintet (Don Stewart), guitar trio and a group of 12 saxophones.
Notable performances
On 1 July 1937, Scaramouche was premiered at the Exposition Internationale des Arts et Techniques dans la Vie Moderne by French pianists Marcelle Meyer and Ida Jankelevitch.
A. Muhle premiered the arrangement for saxophone and orchestra in June of 1940 on Radio Paris.
The arrangement for clarinet and orchestra was premiered in New York by Benny Goodman in 1941.
Scaramouche was performed on 1 June 1943 at the École Normale de Musique de Paris by two French pianists. Due to the Nazi censorship of Milhaud's works it was necessary for the performance to not use his name. To circumvent this, the pianists used anagrams: Darius Milhaud became Hamid-al-Usurid and Scaramouche was changed to Mous Are-chac.
Saxophonist Jess Gillam played the piece on the last night of the 2018 BBC Proms alongside the BBC Symphony Orchestra. The performance was conducted by Sir Andrew Davis.

Franciszek Jaźwiecki

Adam Franciszek Jaźwiecki was a Polish political prisoner and artist interned in Auschwitz, known as the Portraitist of Auschwitz for his portraits of other inmates.
On December 1, 1942, Jaźwiecki was deported from Kraków to Auschwitz.
Jaźwiecki worked in Auschwitz's carpentry workshop and paint workshop. Prisoners were not allowed to make art, under penalty of torture or death, and so Jaźwiecki had to hide his portraits, which he did in his clothes or bed. However, they were eventually discovered by the SS, and SS-Scharführer Wilhelm Boger was assigned to investigate his case. “He sits down behind the table and browses through my drawings. … Through hurting eyes I can see him looking at them with interest. … Thus I feel I’m not going to be hanged, I also feel that he is going to punish me in his own way and not through the Politische Abteilung, because he wants to steal these drawings for himself. … Otherwise, he would have to send them away with me, and he’s putting them into the drawer.”
- Jaźwiecki on SS-Scharführer Wilhelm BogerJaźwiecki was sentenced to three months in a penal company and forbidden from sending or receiving letters. “With a load of 40 kg of sand on bent back… Round and round again… For 12 hours… And so round and round again, for three months with a hundred other miserable souls… Round and round… Day by day. … One more step, at least one and one again, before I drop, and the Kapo finishes me off.”
- Jaźwiecki on the penal companyIn March 1943, Jaźwiecki, via Gross-Rosen, was transferred to Sachsenhausen. On July 28, 1944, he was transferred to Schönebeck subcamp of Buchenwald.
A year after being liberated from the camp, Jaźwiecki died of tuberculosis. His family donated 100 of his portraits to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Museum. Agnieszka Sieradzka, an art historian at the museum, suggests that Jaźwiecki intended the portraits to be a part of historical record, as he included the prisoner numbers in most of his portraits, allowing the subjects' names to be revealed through cross-reference with the extensive camp records. the extensive camp records.

According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete for the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) split up the competing countries into six different pots based on voting patterns from previous contests, with countries with favourable voting histories put into the same pot. On 31 January 2023, an allocation draw was held, which placed each country into one of the two semi-finals, and determined which half of the show they would perform in. The Netherlands has been placed into the first semi-final, to be held on 9 May 2023, and has been scheduled to perform in the second half of the show.

The Story of a New Name
|
The Story of a New Name () is a 2012 novel written by Italian author Elena Ferrante. It is the second volume in her four-book series known as the Neapolitan Novels, being preceeded by My Brilliant Friend, and suceeded by Those who leave and those who stay and The story of the lost child. It was translated to English by Ann Goldstein in 2013.
It was adapted by HBO into the second season of TV show My Brilliant Friend.
Plot
The novel starts with the return of Lila and Stefano from their honeymoon in the Amalfi coast. Lila has a bruised face, and tells Lenù that she was beaten and sexually assaulted when she tried to resist Stefano in their vacation. To their horror, they realize that most of the neighborhood respects Stefano more after this, having considered Lila too unruly for a young girl.
Lila starts to work in the shoe shop her family is opening with the Solara brothers. She becomes pregnant, but has a miscarriage. Both Lila and Stefano's family pressure her into becoming pregnant again, blaming Lila's independence for the miscarriage. A doctor recommends that she spends a season at sea to increase her fertility, and Lila, desperate to not be alone with her mother and sister-in-law, talks Elena into coming with her. Elena, who is secretly in love with Nino Sarratore, agrees on the condition that they go to the island of Ischia, knowing Nino will be there. Lila, Lenù, Nino, Lila's pregnant sister in law Pinuccia and Nino's friend Bruno Soccavo spend the days discussing about literature and politics. Pinuccia develops a crush on Bruno, while Nino and Lila fall in love and begin an affair. When they spend the night together, Lenù, depressed and alone at the beach, gives in to the advances of Donato Sarratore, Nino's father, who harrassed a few years before, and with whom she has sex.
As the vacation comes to an end, Lenù, feeling rejected, focuses on her studies and meets less and less with Lila and Nino. When she is taking the Matura, the national exam to finish high school in Italy, one of the examiners tells her about the Scuola Normale di Pisa, one of the few places where she could continue her education without any fees, and receiving a scholarship. Lenù decides to take an exam for the university, and wins a place there. Just before leaving, she goes to say good bye to Lila in the shoe shop, where she finds her with Nino, realizing they have resumed their affair.
Lila becomes pregant, and decides to leave her husband to leave with Nino. She disappears from the neighborhood for twenty-one days. Marcello Solara asks Antonio, who is now working for him, to find her. Antonio finds the couple and beats up Nino, but does not tell Antonio, telling instead his childhood friends Enzo and Pasquale. Enzo helps Lila, taking her back to the neighborhood. Stefano is overjoyed that Lila is pregnant, not believing her when she says that the baby is not his, and the whole neighborhood decides to pretend that she was spending time with Lenù in Pisa.
In the meanwhile, Lenù has a hard time with her studies in Pisa, because of her poverty and lack of cultural capital, and because of the prejudices of other students, who mock her Neapolitan accent. She has a relationship with Franco Mari. At the end of her studies, she begins a relationship with Pietro Airota, the son of a renowned professor.
While preparing for her thesis, Lenù remains disturbed by her relation with Donato Sarratore, and writes about it on a notebook. One day, she receives a box with the possessions of her old schoolteacher, professor Oliviero, which includes The Blue Fairy, the book she had written with Lila when they were little girls, and recognizes in the book the heart of her writings. One day, she gives the notebook to Pietro, who gives him to his mother, Adela, who works as a book editor. To Lenù's surprise, Adela calls her to say that she wants to publish the tale as a book.
Lila, in the meanwhile, has given birth to her son Gennaro (called Rino, like her brother). She spends a lot of time trying to educate the child, determined that he should have a better fate than the children of the neighborhood. Realizing that Stefano has been having an affair with Ada, and not being able to stand his violence anymore, she finally leaves him, and goes leave with Enzo in a working class neighborhood, San Giovanni a Teduccio. She starts working in a bologna factory that belonged to Bruno Soccavo. Lenù goes to visit her there, and finding her in awful conditons, gives her The Blue Fairy, which she throws in the fire.
The novel ends when Lenù is a in a bookstore presenting her book. She is attacked by a journalist, who calls the book obscene. To her surprise, an audience member starts to deffend her, and she recognizes him as Nino Sarratore.
Characters
Elena Greco (Lenù or Lenuccia), the protagonist and main character. She finishes high school in Naples as the first person of her family to do so, and goes to university in the Scuola Normale di Pisa. After graduating, she published a novel.
Raffaella Cerullo (Lila or Lina), married at the age of sixteen to Stefano Carraci. She has an affair with Nino Sarratore, who leaves her when she is pregnant. She goes back to Carraci, who refuses to believe that the child is not his. She finally leaves her husband, after years of domestiv violence, to live with her childhood friend Enzo, and her son Rino.
Stefano Carracci, Lila's violent husband and owner of a growing business.
Giovanni Sarratore (Nino), son of Donato Sarratore. He starts an affair with Lila while she is married to Stefano.
Giuseppina Carracci (Pinuccia), sister to Stefano, she becomes pregant by Rino and marries him during the novel.
Gennaro Cerullo (Rino), Lila's older brother and Pinuccia's husband. He becomes obsessed by the idea of becoming wealthy.
Reception
The book was well received by the critic. Joseph Luzzi, writing for The New York Times, comments "Elena Ferrante is this rare bird: so deliberate in building up her story that you almost give up on it, so gifted that by the end she has you in tears." Critics have praised the diversity of tones in the book, that goes from the "sweetness and beauty" of the moments in Ischia, the "the intensity of youthful romance", to "the fate of women in a masculine society".
Joanna Walsh, notes for The Guardian:Behind the Neapolitan novels is a sense of "the violence in every house, every family" based in an unspeakable "before": the brutality and betrayals of the second world war.
Lenú, brought up speaking not Italian, but Neapolitan, becomes fluent in the language of schoolbooks. When "language itself in fact, had become a mark of alienation" she leaves the city for university. Groped on a bus, Lenú reverts to dialect: "I said unrepeatable words … what was the use of years of middle school, high school, university, in that city?"

Sir Thomas Stafford, 1st Baronet
|
Sir Thomas Joseph Stafford, 1st Baronet (3 May 1857 – 11 May 1935) was an Anglo-Irish medical doctor and official in the Dublin Castle administration of Ireland.
Biography
Stafford was born in Portobello, County Roscommon, the second son of John Stafford. He qualified as licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland in 1882 and established a medical practice at Boyle, County Roscommon. In the 1890s he was appointed as the medical commissioner of the Local Government Board for Ireland, with responsibility for administering the Irish Poor Laws. In this role he conducted the first systematic research into urban poverty in twentieth-century Ireland. His findings, particularly relating to chronic deprivation in Dublin, were submitted to the royal commission on the poor laws in 1905. In 1898, he was conferred a diploma by the Royal Institute of Public Health and the following year he became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.
Stafford collaborated with the Marchioness of Aberdeen to combat tuberculosis, serving on a government committee in 1912 and implementing its recommendations at a local level. In 1906, Stafford was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath, and on 21 January 1914 he was made a baronet, of Rockingham in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. He 1916 he was made a Deputy Lieutenant of County Roscommon and in 1918 he was made a member of the Privy Council of Ireland. In 1920 he became member of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland's advisory board. In 1921, Stafford resigned from the British administration in Ireland because of what he regarded as the severity of the administration of John French, 1st Earl of Ypres during the Irish War of Independence.
In 1921, Stafford was elected as a member of the short-lived Senate of Southern Ireland, but he did not attend either to the Senate's two sessions prior to its dissolution. Stafford died in 1935 while visiting Geoffrey Taylour, 4th Marquess of Headfort.
In 1890, he married Frances Agnes, daughter of Edward King-Harman. Together they had two sons. The eldest, Edward, was killed in 1914 during the First World War, while the younger son, Cecil, inherited his father's baronetcy.

Bilal Musa and Susan Ibrahim
|
Bilal Musa Muhammad (; 1972 – December 7, 2000) and Susan Ibrahim Tawfiq (; May 26, 1971 – November 5, 2001) were Jordanian serial killers who robbed and murdered twelve people around Jordan from 1994 to 1998. Musa was convicted, sentenced to death and executed for the murders in 2000, while Ibrahim died behind bars a year later.
Considered the country's first serial killers, some doubt has been cast on whether they were truly responsible for all of the murders, with allegations of them being framed by the police.
Early lives
Bilal Musa Muhammad was born in 1972 in Zarqa into a poor family with twelve children. Little is known about his upbringing, but starting at age 14, Musa became an apprentice house painter. After graduating from university with a degree in accounting, he moved to Amman, where he found employment for a marketing company for tourist resorts in the Sweifieh district.
Susan Ibrahim Tawfiq was born on May 26, 1971, also in Zarqa. Much of her background is also unknown, but by the early 1990s, her family was residing in the house opposite of the Musa family. Having fallen in love with her, Musa constantly tried to court and talk to Ibrahim, despite the fact she was already married to a cousin of hers. Her marriage did not last long and she eventually divorced, allowing her to get into a relationship with Musa and the pair to eventually get married. Both families disapproved of their union, but this did not deter the spouses, who reportedly enjoyed traveling and hiking together, with Musa spending a majority of his money on luxury goods.
Murders
Modus operandi
The exact circumstances behind why the couple started killing are unknown. Presenting themselves as real estate agents or salespeople, they visited random homes in the early mornings and would make up an excuse as to why they were there. If they determined that the occupant was alone or elderly, they would then break in, accost and proceed to kill them in a variety of ways including stabbing, beating the victims with chairs and slitting their throats. When finished, Musa and Ibrahim would burgle the residence, stealing money, jewellery and collectible items such as videotapes and cassettes, before fleeing the crime scene.
Murders
On January 5, 1994, Musa stalked 40-year-old Suad Farid until she went to her home in the Al-Rashid suburb. After memorizing the address, he and Ibrahim went there, knocked on the door and asked for a glass of water. When Farid turned around to get it, Musa rushed at her with a knife and stabbed her several times, killing her. He and Ibrahim then went inside, stealing 40 dinars, a gold chain and videotapes. After making sure there were no fingerprints left on the crime scene, the couple left.
Sometime later that same year, the couple went to the Abdoun neighborhood and knocked on the door of Laila Al-Shaer, pretending to be marketers for a magazine. After determining that she was alone, they went inside, where Musa strangled her with a telephone cord, before he and Ibrahim stole two gold rings, some chains and bracelets, then fled.
The couple would later admit to killing 20-year-old teacher Fatima Jamil, whose decomposing body was found in the Birin forest located in the Zarqa Governorate. They claimed that she had voluntarily gotten into their car, and that they had killed her for her money.
On March 27, 1995, the couple broke into the apartment of 23-year-old Maha Al-Masry, an Egyptian national living in the Shmeisani neighborhood of Abdali. When she came across the intruders, Musa stabbed her several times in the neck and chest and then strangled her to death. He then went to the adjacent room and strangled her 6-month-old child to death as well. After making sure there was nobody else inside, the pair put on gloves and searched through the drawers, stealing 18 dinars and a gold chain.
A short time after this, they broke into the apartment of 22-year-old Lina Burqan in Amman. The woman attempted to defend herself with a pistol, but was overpowered by Musa, who stabbed her to death. A couple of months later, 60-year-old Saeed Abu Khadija, a salesman of old clothes, started frequently visiting Ibrahim's mother's house so he could indirectly give money to Ibrahim. Feeling jealous, Musa lured the man to his own home, where he stabbed him to death and stole 24 dinars.
On November 18, the couple went to the office of 60-year-old businessman Najeh Al-Khayyat, intending to rob and kill him. After an initially cordial conversation, Al-Khayyat got into a heated argument with Musa, and in an attempt to calm him down, invited him to his bedroom - which was adjacent to the office - so they could talk it over. When they went in, Musa took out a knife and stabbed him, and to ensure that he was dead, hit Al-Khayyat on the head with a chair.
Almost two years later, in early 1997, Musa lured an elderly man named Rabih Abu Rukba to a banana grove in central Amman, where he stabbed him in the back. After the man fell to the ground, Musa continued stabbing him in the chest, killing him. Upon stealing his money, he calmly returned to his workplace.
A few months later, Musa and Ibrahim went to the house of 32-year-old Iman Al-Amayreh, who lived alone in the Al Hashmi Al Shamali neighborhood. Pretending to be salespeople for a holiday resort, they gave her a fake questionnaire to fill out her personal details, but while she was doing so, Musa took out a knife and stabbed her to death. The couple then stole 340 dinars from her home. Later that same year, Musa killed a 43-year-old Algerian woman named Saliha Makudi, stabbing her 18 times and then stealing her money.
Murder of Marouh Abdul Jalil
The couple's last known murder took place on May 26, 1998. On that date, they were invited to the house of Marouh Abdul Jalil Salameh - an elderly acquaintance of theirs - so they couple celebrate Ibrahim's birthday. Once they reached the man's home in Awjan, near Zarqa, they enjoyed the festivities until both had to excuse themselves - Ibrahim said that she wanted to use the outside toilet, while Musa claimed that he wanted to wash his hands. Once Jalil had turned his back on him, Musa attempted to choke him from behind, but the man resisted. He then got a knife and stabbed him several times, killing him in the process.
After Ibrahim returned, she helped her husband clean up and change clothes, before the pair started searching for any money and valuables. To their disappointment, they only found 31 dinars.
Arrest, prosecution and deaths
Investigation, arrest, and confessions
On June 16, 1998, a letter was sent to the Public Security Directorate in Zarqa, in which the writer claimed that he had killed Jalil because the man had attempted to sexually assault his wife. The detailed description of the crime scene led Gen. Abdul Mahdi al-Damour to consider it genuine and send it to the forensic laborator. A couple of months later, scientists were able to determine that a fingerprint extracted from the letter belonged to Bilal Musa.
Soon after this revelation, the couple's house was raided, but police found nobody inside. Another letter was located in which it was made apparent that they had left Jordan on September 21, ostensibly for a work assignment in Benghazi, Libya. The couple were traced to a harbor in Sallum, Egypt, and with the help of Interpol and Libyan authorities, both were apprehended and returned to Jordan via Tunisia. Upon interrogation, the spouses admitted their responsibility for the crime, but Musa attempted to justify it by claiming that Jalil had attempted to assault his wife.
After a forensic examination determined that both were sane and able to stand trial, Musa and Ibrahim were charged with the twelve murders attributed to them. According to psychologists, there was no real motive behind the crimes, but some suspected that it was simply Musa having developed an addiction to killing.
Prosecution, sentences, and fates
Musa and Ibrahim were eventually put on trial for the twelve murders, but they denied responsibility for all except Jalil's killing, claiming that they had been coerced into confessing by the police. Their public defender attempted to convince the court that Jalil's killing was done out of righteous self-defense, but this suggestion was rejected and both were found guilty - Musa on all counts, while Ibrahim solely for Jalil's murder. The former was sentenced to death, while Ibrahim initially also received the same penalty, later commuted to life imprisonment with hard labor due to her pregnancy.
All of Musa's subsequent appeals were rejected, and on December 7, 2000, he was hanged at the Swaqa Prison in Amman in the presence of the Public Prosecutor, security officials and a doctor. Less than a year later, on November 5, 2001, Ibrahim died of a suspected heart attack while incarcerated.
Claims of innocence
Five years after Musa's execution, his brother and a team of investigators put forward the theory that he and Ibrahim were actually innocent of all murders except that of Jalil. They claimed that another murderer who had been arrested in 2004, Zuhair Al-Khatib, had confessed to killing Al-Khayyat and given a detailed confession of how he had carried out. In addition to this, they reiterated the claims that the spouses had been forced and threatened into confessing by the authorities, who supposedly just wanted to clear unsolved murder cases.
These claims were refuted by journalists and the police, who pointed out that Al-Khatib had claimed that he had killed Al-Khayyat by beating him to death with a hammer, while an autopsy had definitively determined that he had been stabbed with a knife. This, and the lack of strong evidence of a forced confession, has led doubts to the credibility of the innocence theory.

Francis Lopez (basketball)
|
Francis Leo S. "Lebron" Lopez (born March 29, 1968) is a Filipino-Angolan college basketball player for the UP Fighting Maroons of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP). He is known for his elite athleticism. After breaking out in the Philippine high school basketball scene, he was set to play in the Overtime Elite (OTE) league, but due to visa issues, never got to play there. Instead, he committed to play for UP.
High school career
Lopez first played varsity basketball for Augustinian Abbey School (AAS) at 13 years old. He also continued growing in height, from 5'3" when he 10 years old, to 6'3" at 13 years of age. He then gained significant attention after starring for Las Piñas in the 2018 edition of NCR Palaro, an annual sporting competition for youth from all over Metro Manila, where they just missed the medal rounds.
La Salle Green Hills
LSGH assistant coach and scout Anton Brodett recruited Lopez to play for La Salle Green Hills (LSGH) after seeing him play in a neighborhood basketball court in Las Piñas. However, he averaged 2.3 points and 1.3 rebounds in 3.4 minutes, seeing action in only 10 of their 22 games in all. He was also set to play in the NCAA Season 94 Shooting Stars competition, but didn't get to compete and was replaced by Sebastian Locsin. LSGH went on to finish as runner-ups to Mapúa for Season 94.
Ateneo de Manila
After Season 94, LSGH underwent changes in management. That, and talks with Ateneo assistant coach Ford Arao, prompted Lopez to transfer to Ateneo de Manila.
Lopez debuted in Season 82 with 14 points and seven rebounds in a win over the Adamson Baby Falcons. In their first loss of the season, which was against the FEU Baby Tamaraws, he had 18 points, 14 boards, and five blocks. Ateneo bounced back with a win over the UPIS Junior Maroons, in which he had 20 points and three blocks. He then had a double-double of 17 points and 18 rebounds over the UST Tiger Cubs. At the end of the first round of eliminations, he was fifth in the MVP race as Ateneo had a record of 4–3. Against the NSNU Bullpups, he had 17 points, nine rebounds, and five blocks, but missed a go-ahead dunk that eventually led to a close loss. At the end of eliminations, he was third in the MVP race as Ateneo went on to clinch the 3rd seed. However, they lost in the first round of the playoffs to Adamson. He was awarded a spot on the UAAP Juniors Mythical Team at the end of the season, and finished with averages of 16.0 points on 45% shooting, 9.2 rebounds and 3.0 blocks.
In 2020, Lopez made it to the NBTC 24, a list of the top high school basketball players in the country. He was named among the 2020 SLAM Philippines Rising Stars. Two years later, he got to play in the SLAM Rising Stars Classic.
Failed stint with Overtime Elite
On July 13, 2021, Lopez signed with the Overtime Elite basketball league. However, he never got to join the league, as his visa was constantly rejected by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). He only received $25,000 of his $100,000 deal but it was for the use of his image and likeness in the promotional materials of OTE. He then spent time with the Philippines' men's national team and attempted to play for the Illawarra Hawks in the NBL, but due to his Filipino-Angolan heritage, did not qualify as an Asian import.
College career
UP Fighting Maroons
For the next phase of his basketball career, it was expected that Lopez would either play overseas or play for the Ateneo Blue Eagles. On January 21, 2023, on the night Ateneo was celebrating its Season 85 basketball championship with a bonfire, Naveen Ganglani of Rappler reported that Lopez had committed to playing for the UP Fighting Maroons. Aside from his family and friends, he also credited UP star player and Gilas teammate Carl Tamayo for helping him in his decision. His former agency also released a letter saying that since he didn't attain a US visa, his contract with them is considered void ab initio (void from start), clarifying eligibility concerns.
National team career
Junior national team
In 2019, Lopez was named to the Gilas U-19 team for the 2019 FIBA Under-16 Asian Championship.
Senior national team
In 2021, Lopez made his senior national team debut against Indonesia in the third window of the 2022 Fiba Asia Cup qualifiers. He contributed eight points and five rebounds in just nine minutes as Gilas beat Indonesia. That year, he was the final cut of the team before Gilas competed in the Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
In 2022, Lopez joined Gilas Pilipinas for that year's Southeast Asian Games. On his 19th birthday, he had 17 points, five rebounds, two blocks, and a plus-minus rating of 23 in a win over Cambodia. He followed it up with 18 points on 7-for-7 in a win over Malaysia. They were on the verge of sweeping the tournament until they lost to Indonesia in the finals, settling for a silver medal. Later that year, he played in both the 2023 FIBA World Cup qualifiers and the FIBA Asia Cup.
Personal life
Lopez is the son of a Filipino father and an Angolan mother. He got his nickname "LeBron" from his family and friends, as he was the tallest in their neighborhood. He also looks up to NBA superstar LeBron James.
Lopez has supported Bongbong Marcos' and Sara Duterte's presidential and vice presidential campaigns respectively as he joined the BBM-Sara Celebrity All-Star Game to help undecided voters.

Ingushes in Syria
|
Ingushes in Syria () — is an Ingush diaspora of about 35 thousand people. Living in many cities and villages of modern Syria.
History
During the Caucasian War
The Ingush diaspora in the countries of the Middle East (Syria) is unique in that it moved to the Ottoman Empire not only in the 60s of the XIX century, but also in large groups in subsequent years, especially during the reign of Alexander III.
After the Caucasian War in 1865, part of the Ingush migrated (Muhajirism) to the Ottoman Empire. In total, 1454 families moved out of Ingushetia, in particular from two communities (Karabulak and Nazranovsky sections of the Ingush district) (including Karabulaks - 1366 families and Nazranians - 88 families) (according to other sources - up to 1500 families of Karabulaks and 100 families Nazranites). The descendants of those settlers form the Ingush diasporas in Turkey, Jordan and Syria. In these countries, many Ingush were recorded under the ethnonym Circassians.
Modern time
It is known that the Ingush are fighting on the territory of Syria, on the side of the rebels, it is also known that battle-hardened Arabs make films related to the activities of Ingush groups. Judging by the video recordings, some of the Ingush lead some of the detachments of the assault troops.

Bryson City Depot
|
The Bryson City Depot is a train station located in Bryson City, North Carolina, United States. It serves as the only active station along the Murphy Branch, a rail line that traverses from Asheville to Murphy in Western North Carolina. Owned and operated by the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, it serves as both the begin and end point of various scenic excursion trains.
Location
Bryson City Depot is located at the intersection of Everett and Fry streets in downtown Bryson City. Adjacent to the station is MacNeill Park, dedicated to Malcolm and Joan MacNeill, who established the Great Smoky Mountains Railway. Nearby, within walking distance, is the Smoky Mountain Trains Museum, the Appalachian Rivers Aquarium, the Swain County Heritage Museum, the Fly Fishing Museum of the Southern Appalachians, Riverfront Park, and Island Park.
History
In November 1894, Southern Railway had contracted J. D. Elliott of Hickory to build a depot in Bryson City. A frame building with wooden ornament and broad eaves was completed in 1895. Around the turn of the 20th century, four passenger trains, between Asheville and Murphy, would daily stop at the station. However, soon after the Second World War, passenger traffic had declined due to increasing popularity of the automobile. On July 16, 1948, passenger rail service was discontinued along the Murphy Branch and the station was closed.
In 1988, the State of North Carolina purchased the Murphy Branch from Norfolk Southern, the successor of Southern Railway, after the line was abandoned for lack of freight traffic. The Great Smokey Mountains Railroad, which was formed that same year, secured a lease agreement along of track between Dillsboro and Andrews. The station was refurbished and began its second life serving tourists to the area.
Services
The train station, operated by the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad, provides round-trip excursions through the Nantahala Gorge and along the Tuckasegee River. Seasonal and themed round-trip excursions, including the Polar Express, are also available. Tickets and information are located in the depot, while public restrooms are located at an adjacent stand-alone building. Operating hours will vary depending on scheduled excursions planned for day.
Short-term and disability parking is available along Everett and Fry streets (free, two-hour limit). Same-day parking is located at 45 Mitchell Street, which requires a cash-only fee per vehicle (including motorcycle and RV).

The Captaincy of Santa Catarina was an administrative division of colonial Brazil created on August 11, 1738, in the southernmost territories of the Captaincy of São Paulo. The government was officially installed on March 7, 1739, with the first governor being José da Silva Pais.
After the island of Santa Catarina was invaded in 1777, the capital was temporarily moved to São Miguel, now Biguaçu.
On February 28, 1821, it became a province, which would become the current state of Santa Catarina with the Proclamation of the Republic.
The advantageous geographic position of the island of Santa Catarina with the port of Laguna, which was very frequented by ships going from Europe to the Río de la Plata and the Pacific Ocean; and other political reasons determined King João V, in 1738, to form with the island and the adjacent continental land a separate captaincy or government, independent from the Captaincy of São Paulo, to which it had belonged until that time.
The present coastal area of Santa Catarina belonged first to the Captaincy of Santana (1534 -1656), then to the Captaincy of Nossa Senhora do Rosário de Paranaguá (1656 - 1709), which then became part of the Captaincy of São Paulo (1709 - 1738).
Foundation
With the Portuguese expansion to the south of the colony, to the Río de la Plata region, there was a need to form a new administrative unit of the kingdom to guarantee the possession of these lands. Created on August 11, 1738, its government was installed on March 7, 1739, with the arrival of Brigadier José da Silva Pais as its first governor. The territory included the current states of Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul until the latter was emancipated as the Captaincy of Rio Grande de São Pedro in 1760.
Portuguese interests in southern Brazil required the maintenance and strengthening of coastal settlements. To this end, Laguna was elevated to the category of village in 1774 and became an outpost for the conquest of Rio Grande do Sul. From there, expeditions left to reach the colony of Sacramento and Montevideo, and in the journey, they collected cattle and imprisoned Indians. Desterro, being heavily fortified by Silva Pais since his arrival in Santa Catarina, was its capital. Many of the fortresses built in the period, resisted the Spanish occupation of 1777 and the centuries, and are standing to this day.
From 1740 on, whaling traps were established on the Santa Catarina coast: Armação de Itapocorói (Penha), Armação de Nossa Senhora da Piedade (Gov. Celso Ramos), Armação da Lagoinha (Florianópolis), Armação da Garopaba (Garopaba).
After 1807, with the creation of the general captaincy of São Pedro do Rio Grande (future Rio Grande do Sul), its borders comprised: To the north, the Saí Guaçu river (Joinville), to the south the Mampituba river (Torres), to the west the Serra Geral, which runs from north to south, closer to the coast and the east of the Atlantic Ocean.
Azorean Colonization
The islands of the Azores archipelago, suffering from seismic tremors, stimulated emigration. Allied to this factor would be the precarious economic development of the region, the desire to put out to sea, but mainly the excess population which, as a result, caused food shortages at certain times. From 1748 to 1756, in successive waves, about five thousand Azoreans arrived, most of whom settled along the coast. The new settlers received land grants on the island and the mainland. There were many difficulties, from the terrible conditions of the journey to the adaptation to the land where they were to settle.
Colonization of the Santa Catarina Plateau
Luís António de Sousa Botelho Mourão, the Morgado de Mateus, governor of the São Paulo captaincy, interested in guaranteeing the Portuguese dominion over the current Santa Catarina plateau region and the flow of cattle from Rio Grande do Sul to São Paulo, commissioned a wealthy Paulistan, Antônio Correia Pinto, to establish a settlement at the Lages stop, then under São Paulo's jurisdiction. In 1775 the village of Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres de Lages was founded, which in 1820 was incorporated into Santa Catarina.
Spanish Domain
When war broke out between Portugal and Spain, the island of Santa Catarina was poorly defended despite its strategic importance and abandoned by the Portuguese fleet, which did not want to endanger its ships. The place was taken in 1777 by Pedro de Ceballos, without the invader firing a single shot or losing a single man. From there, the conquest extended from village to village, except for Laguna, which offered resistance. One year later, the island returned to Portuguese hands through the Treaty of Santo Ildefonso.

The Triumph of Christianity

The Triumph of Christianity: How a Forbidden Religion Swept the World is a book by American New Testament scholar Bart D. Ehrman. Published on February 13, 2018, by Simon & Schuster, the book concerns the history of early Christianity and its spread throughout the world.
Reception
Tom Bissell, in his review of The Triumph of Christianity for The New York Times, commended both it and Ehrman's prior book The Orthodox Corruption of Scripture for showcasing Ehrman's "steadfast humanizing impulse". Bob Duffy of the Washington Independent Review of Books wrote that The Triumph of Christianity "remains solidly grounded in first-rate scholarship. And although a few loony emperors do lurk about and the (very) occasional persecution arises, the reader in search of the dramatic, the sentimental, or the miraculous is likely to find scant fulfillment here."
Paul W. Gleason, reviewing the book for Newsday, wrote that "Ehrman's conclusions are debatable, as he knows perfectly well. Like a good college lecture class, his book offers both a wealth of historical information and, to make sense of it all, a few plausible theories – including his own. He doesn't tell us what to think. He gives us a lot to think about."
The Wall Street Journals Douglas Boin called The Triumph of Christianity "a chipper but superficial retelling of the rise of Christianity."

William Tatton Brown
|
William Eden Tatton Brown (13 October 1910 - 2 February 1997) was an English architect. From 1959, he was the first chief architect to the UK's Ministry of Health, taking charge of large-scale hospital building until the mid-1970s.
Early career
William Tatton Brown was born on 13 October 1910 at Lewes in Sussex, the son of Eden Tatton Brown, head of the Egyptian Customs Services and Pauline Stewart-Jones. The family lived in Egypt for some years before returning to England. William Tatton Brown then went to a school in Rottingdean before attending Wellington College.<ref name="DTObit-1997">"Obituary: William Eden TATTON BROWN", Daily Telegraph, 26 February 1997</ref>
Tatton Brown studied at the Architectural Association in 1928, then studied history at King's College, Cambridge, spending his final year studying architecture under Hugh Casson. Through Cambridge contacts in the Quaker movement, he secured employment in France with architect André Lurçat, an ardent communist.
Tatton Brown returned to London in 1934 to work in the Haymarket office of the radical architectural practice Tecton, founded by Berthold Lubetkin, where he worked on the Penguin Pool at London Zoo and was job architect for the influential Highpoint flats in Highgate. An active member of late 1930s Modernist circles, he was a British delegate to the International Congress of Modern Architecture (CIAM), and was involved in the MARS Group exhibition at the New Burlington Galleries in 1938. In the same year, Tatton Brown set up in independent practice, then formed a partnership with Lionel Brett, later Lord Esher.
Post-war career
During World War II, Tatton Brown joined the Royal Engineers and served in India and Burma. After the war, he returned to the Architectural Association, to study town planning, and then joined the new Ministry of Town and Country Planning, working with, among others, Casson, Percy Johnson-Marshall and Peter Shepheard. In 1948, Tatton Brown was appointed Deputy County Architect for Hertfordshire, leading the county's school building programme. Despite severe post-war materials shortages, he led a team of talented architects including David and Mary Medd to deliver prefabricated buildings combining lightweight structures, panels and tubular steel trusses.
In 1959, Tatton Brown became the first Chief Architect to the Ministry of Health, overseeing a department of over 120 architects managing a large-scale hospital building programme through to the mid-1970s. He was awarded CB in the 1965 New Year Honours, and was a member of the Construction Research Advisory Council established in 1967.
Despite officially retiring in 1971, he continued to work for several years, and in 1985, a book he co-wrote with Paul James, Hospitals: Design and Development'', was published.
Works
Chilston Grange, Winkfield, near Ascot, Berkshire (1940; with Lionel Brett)

Personal life
In 1936 Tatton Brown married Aileen Sparrow, a former pupil of Leslie Martin and one of three women working at Tecton. They lived initially in architect Jane Drew's house in Woburn Square. They later lived in Berkhamsted, and had three sons and a daughter.

Karmalink is a 2021 Cambodian science fiction film written and directed by Jake Wachtel in his directorial debut, and produced by Valerie Steinberg. It is the first science-fiction film from Cambodia. It stars Leng Heng Prak and Srey Leak Chhith in their acting debuts, who also worked with Wachtel and co-writer Christopher Larsen on developing the story and translating it into Khmer. The film is dedicated to lead actor Leng Heng Prak, who died before its completion.
Production and release
Wachtel, an American, wrote and directed the film after moving to Cambodia in 2014 and working with local students as part of Filmmakers Without Borders. Inspired by Kazuo Ishiguro's novel Never Let Me Go, Wachtel devised a science fiction story set in Phnom Penh in the near future. Two of Wachtel's students, Leng Heng Prak and Srey Leak Chhith, were the inspiration for the main characters. They were later cast in the film to play them. The film is mostly set in the Tralop Bek district of Phnom Penh, where both actors grew up.
The film's themes draw on Buddhist concepts of karma and rebirth, as well as artificial intelligence and economic inequality. Wachtel spent several years honing the script, working with Cambodian friends and colleagues to ensure local culture was adequately reflected. The film was primarily shot in Phnom Penh over 37 days. Shooting locations include Phnom Penh's Royal railway station and Olympic Stadium.
During the film's editing, lead actor Leng Heng Prak died. The film is dedicated to his memory.
The film had its world premiere as the opening night film of the 2021 Venice Film Festival's Critics' Week, and it also screened at many other festivals including the Austin Film Festival, Singapore International Film Festival, Santa Fe International Film Festival, Sun Valley Film Festival, and Glasgow Film Festival. The film had a theatrical release in the United States on July 15, 2022, and it was released in Cambodia on February 17, 2023.
Reception
Richard Kuipers gave the film a positive review in Variety, praising its unique filming location, themes, musical score and performances.

Circular fashion
|
Circular Fashion is an application of circular economy to the fashion industry, where the life cycles of fashion products are extended. According to the definition of The European Parliament, this involves "sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible." Pioneering work and terminology on circular fashion, reached the mainstream through a 2017 report by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation titled "A New Textile Economy: Redesigning Fashion's Future". So far, the EU has been the main proponent for developing frameworks around circular fashion on a policy level, such as the Circular Economy Action Plan, part of the European Commission's "EU strategy for sustainable and circular textiles," launched in March 2022.
Circular Vision
The vision of Circular Fashion is to apply the "cradle-to-cradle" model, where materials circulate throughout the lifecycle of a product to never become waste. This goal of circularity is named after the influential 2002 book, Cradle-to-Cradle by German chemist Michael Braungart and US architect William McDonough.
Obstacles to Circular Fashion
Applying circular models to the fashion industry faces great challenges:
Firstly, fashion is, per definition, associated with the arrival of something new. Even if the expression is that a style "is back", this style is accessed to consumers by acquiring a new item.
Secondly, the modes of production across the sector have, since early industrialism, been shaped by mass-production and the success of ready-to-wear, thus making the fashion item the primary economic vector of transaction. The success of the this model under economic globalization has impeded new perspectives to emerge.
Thirdly, the industry is optimized to process virgin materials, thus requiring extraction of new materials to produce new items. Even if the sector of reprocessing used materials is growing rapidly, the structure of textile fibers require infusion of new materials to secure the strength of the recycled fibers.
Circular Fashion and Greenwashing
Many fashion companies are greenwashing their claims of circularity. Most "recycling" initiatives amongst fashion brands means excess used goods are shipped to developing countries, dumped or incinerated.
Examples of Circular Fashion
So far most innovation in circular fashion occurs in the mechanical or chemical textile industries, such as Lenzing, Renewcell, Evrnu, Spinnova, or Worn Again.

Ahom expeditions to Manipur
|
Ahom expeditions to Manipur was an 18th-century expeditions sent out in Manipur in 1765 and 1767 at the request of Bhagya Chandra or Jai Singh to the Ahom king Rajeswar Singha to expel the Burmese rule out of Manipur. This resulted in Ahom-Manipur alliance victory, and the Manipuri was recovered to Jai Singh
Background
In 1758, Alaungpaya the founder of Konbaung dynasty undertook the conquest of Manipur. Jai Singh the Manipuri king was unable to resist the aggression of Burmese and had to lose a portion of his country to the Burmese, and sought his shelter in Cachar erstwhile Kachari Kingdom. Thus, Jai Singh entered into a negotiation with the British in 1762. British agreed to help him in recovering his kingdom and sent a contingent under Henry Verelst, but was recalled when it reached Khaspur (capital of Dimasa kingdom), as it was calculated by the British that an engagement with Burmese would create fresh troubles for the British Indian Empire. Frustrated, he made an urgent appeal to the Ahom king to help to drive out the Burmese through an ambassador from the Kachari court. After consulting with the nobles, Jai Singh was given permission to come to the Ahom capital at Rangpur. Jai Singh came in the company of the Kachari king appeared personally before the Ahom king Rajeswar Singha, and appealed for help. Rajeswar Singha agreed to despatch an expeditionary force to drive out the Burmese invaders from his country, accordingly a contingent of 40,000 soldiers was organized under the command of Harnath Senapati Phukan (supreme commander) to sent in Manipur.
Manipur expedition
Lata Kata Ran
Many nobles who were asked to take the charge of the expedition declined on the pretext of illness. Those properties were confisticated and punished. Finally, at last, the grandson of Rangachilla Duara Borphukan, Harnath Majinder Bhitarual Barua was made the commander of the expeditionary force. He was made the Senapati Phukan or the supreme commander and ordered to march to Manipur through jungles over the Charaideo hill. Jai Singh undertook the responsibility to guide the force through a short way across the hills. The troops then advanced through the dense forest confounded the way and the Manipuri Raja couldn't show the direction. The whole force was put into extreme hardship. They continued their advance by making up a route but the process was extremely slow. As the rations of food were exhausted in the meantime, many perished of starvation, others of diseases, snake bites, spider bites, and by frequent clashes with Nagas. The state of the force was reported to the Ahom king, who recalled the whole force whose strength was greatly reduced to 1/3. Harnath Senapati Phukan was charged of the inability to take action against the Nagas and the loss of numerous provisions, but Harnath gave a convincing reply that Manipuri Raja took undertook the responsibility of guiding across a short way but failed and the loss was not due the fear of Nagas. As this expedition involved fighting against the natives and clearing forest full of creepers it is popularly called Lata-Kata-Ran (a struggle to clear the creepers).
Second Expedition
The Ahom king sent another fresh force of 30,000 soldiers under Khangia Phukan, son of Bakatial Borbarua, were despatched to Manipur in 1767. Proceeded to Manipur with Jai Singh through Raha route and Kachari country. The main force was halted at Raha and a force consisting of 10,000 soldiers accompanied Jai Singh proceeded far as Merap river and where forts were constructed and a naga levy was raised. At the news of advance of Ahom army the Burmese puppet fled away. Thus, Bhagya Chandra or Jai Singh was crowned again to the Manipuri throne again.
Aftermath
Jai Singh as a token of gratitude gave his daughter Kuranganayani and sent many valueable presents. Many Manipuris who accompanied Kuranganayani, were settled at Dichai and a mart called Magalughat was set up. Kuranganayani durther solidified the relations between Ahom and Meiteis for her part in restoration of Lakshmi Singha reign during Moamoria rebellion. Jai Singh who was forever grateful for the Ahom king's help fought and provided service during the Moamoria rebellion..

Battle of the Ravi Ford
|
The battle of Ravi Ford took place in December 1762. Ahmad Shah Durrani was seeking to return to Afghanistan after campaigning in the Punjab. While his forces crossed the ford of the Ravi River, they were ambushed by Sikh armies. The Afghans defeated the Sikhs in the engagement and successfully crossed the river.
Background
Ahmad Shah Durrani was leading his sixth invasion of India. After his campaign, his forces traveled through the Punjab and began crossing the Ravi River to return to Afghanistan, when suddenly they were ambushed.
Battle
Ahmad Shah's forces had begun crossing the Ravi River, when they were ambushed and the Sikhs began seizing much of the Afghan luggage train. Ahmad Shah stood on the bank of the river with his personal contingent of 12,000 men but did not engage in any skirmish until all troops crossed the river. The Afghan forces crossed the river but the Sikhs only continued to grow bolder in their hit and run attacks. Eventually, the Sikhs rode close to Ahmad Shah's camp and unloaded matchlocks near it. After finishing his afternoon prayer, Ahmad Shah rode on horseback with his men and attacked the Sikhs, beginning battle.
Ahmad Shah's troops were quick and made a sally with drawn swords, charging the Sikh forces. With this, the Sikhs retreated from the battlefield, and Ahmad Shah did not pursue them.
Aftermath
Ahmad Shah Durrani returned to Afghanistan following this, and would not return until his seventh invasion in 1764–1765.

Sławięcice Palace (Schloss Slawentzitz)
|
Schloss Slawentzitz (Polish: Pałac Sławięcice) was a stately home in Sławięcice (part of Kędzierzyn-Koźle), in the historic Silesia (Upper Silesia) region in Poland. It served as the main residence of the princes of Hohenlohe-Öhringen, a branche of the House of Hohenlohe. It was heavily damaged in the Second World War and has subsequently been demolished. Only a portico remains.
History
Flemming and Hoym families
In the 15th century, the first castle was built in Sławięcice, owned by the dukes of Opole and later the Bohemian crown. In the 17th century, the castle was owned by various families: Bohussin von Zwolle und Güldenstein, who purchased it from emperor Rudolf II in 1600, and later the barons of Sießwohl. In 1678, Countess Henkel came into possession of the estate, who was succeeded by counts Carl Maximillian and Leo Ferdinand Henkel. Subsequently, in 1702, their heirs sold the castle to the Saxon General and minister count Heinrich Jakob von Flemming. He erected several iron smelters in Sławięcice and neighbouring towns. At these times, these were the most modern iron and steel works in Upper Silesia. In 1714, Von Flemming exchanged the estate with Adolph Magnus, baron of Hoym. Between 1716 and 1720, Hoym constructed a garden palace on the opposite of the Klodnica river, inspired by Versailles, but it soon burned down. Also, he further expanded the steel factories.
Hohenlohe-Öhringen family
In 1782, the Prussian general Frederick Louis, Prince of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen (1746-1818) married countess Amalie von Hoym, receiving the Hoym estates in Oppurg, Thuringia, and Sławięcice. The prince fought in the Napoleonic Wars and after losing the Battle of Jena to Napoleon on 14 October 1806, he retired to Sławięcice, spending here his last years in a self-imposed exile. After his death, a monumental tomb made of cast iron with the Hohenlohe family's motto was built in the park. His son, August, Prince of Hohenlohe-Öhringen (1784-1853) rebuilt the palace in 1827, when the old mansion burned down after being hit by a lightning strike.
In the 19th century, the Hohenlohe family became large scale industrialists in Upper Silesia and belonged to the richest citizens of Germany Their zinc smelting works belonged to the largest in the world. They made the Sławięcice palace not only their main seat, but also the centre of their business empire. The son of August, Hugo zu Hohenlohe-Öhringen (1816-1897) received the title of Duke of Ujest at the coronation of William I as King of Prussia in 1861. The duke was an was an hereditary member of the upper houses of Württemberg and Prussia.
In 1897, prince Christian Kraft (1848-1926) succeeded his father as owner of the Sławięcice palace. During his time, the mansion received visitors like tsar Nicholas II of Russia and emperor William II. The last Hohenlohe to own the palace was prince Johann (Hans) zu Hohenlohe-Oehringen (1858–1945).
During the Second World War, the Hohenlohe family fled first to their summer palace in Oppurg and later to Neuenstein in Hohenlohe. Since then, Schloss Neuenstein has remained the main residence of the princes up to this day. Schloss Slawentzitz with its park and greenhouses were severely damaged in the fights with the Red Army in January 1945. The ruins burnt down completely in 1948, but in the 1950s youth camps were still organized in its interiors. Unfortunately, the palace was regularly plundered and finally demolished in the 1970s. Only an entrance portico remains.
Gleiwitz incident
The Gleiwitz incident was a false flag attack on the radio station Sender Gleiwitz in Gleiwitz (then Germany and now Gliwice, Poland) staged by Nazi Germany on the night of 31 August 1939. Along with some two dozen similar incidents, the attack was manufactured by Germany as a casus belli to justify the invasion of Poland. Despite the German government using the attack as a justification to go to war with Poland, the Gleiwitz assailants were not Polish but were German SS officers wearing Polish uniforms. The planning and preparations for this operation were carried out from the Sławięcice palace.
Architecture
The old castle was a massive square building with a single roof and was surrounded by a moat. After a lightning strike, the old castle burned down in 1827. A new three-storey mansion was built on the same site in 1830, with side wings added between 1867 and 1868. The mansion had around 45 rooms including a large ballroom.
Gardens
Prince Frederick Louis of Hohenlohe-Ingelfingen created an English landscape park around the palace. It is one of the four largest gardens in the Opole region.
Today
Nothing remains of the main building itself, except the entrance portico. The landscape park is still there containing the ruins of a mausoleum, a gardener's home, and a baroque garden pavilion built by Adolf Magnus von Hoym between 1716 and 1720.

Ingushes in Jordan
|
Ingushes in Jordan () — is an Ingush diaspora of about 25 thousand people. Living in many cities and villages of modern Jordan.
History
During the Caucasian War
The Ingush diaspora in the countries of the Middle East (Jordan) is unique in that it moved to the Ottoman Empire not only in the 60s of the XIX century, but also in large groups in subsequent years, especially during the reign of Alexander III.
After the Caucasian War in 1865, part of the Ingush migrated (Muhajirism) to the Ottoman Empire. In total, 1454 families moved out of Ingushetia, in particular from two communities (Karabulak and Nazranovsky sections of the Ingush district) (including Karabulaks - 1366 families and Nazranians - 88 families) (according to other sources - up to 1500 families of Karabulaks and 100 families Nazranites). The descendants of those settlers form the Ingush diasporas in Turkey, Jordan and Syria. In these countries, many Ingush were recorded under the ethnonym Circassians.
Modern time
The Russian delegation accompanying the first person of the state included the leaders of the North Caucasian republics.
For the President of Ingushetia, Murat Zyazikov, this is not the first visit to Amman, the Jordanian capital. Not only as politicians, but also as friends. Between the Hashemite Kingdom and Ingushetia today a bridge of cooperation in the field of education, culture and tourism is being built. Economic, cultural and trade projects are planned for the coming years. And this gives new opportunities for opening Ingushetia to the world, for demonstrating its social achievements.

Bucknowle Roman villa
|
Bucknowle Roman villa is a Roman villa in Dorset, England. It is located within a camping site within the grounds of Bucknowle Farm.
History
The first villa was constructed on the site during the late 1st century AD. A large aisled hall and a possible bath house were built during the first phase of construction.
The aisled hall remained in use until at least the mid 2nd to early 3rd centuries before being rebuilt, and also around this time, a new bath house was constructed alongside six timber-framed buildings which were most likely farm buildings or workshops.
By the late 3rd century, many of the wooden buildings had been rebuilt and enlarged and a new domestic block built up from three rooms was now the largest building on the site, and excavations found roof and flue tiles alongside limestone slabs used for the floor.
During the 4th century, the site contained three large buildings and a bath house, and the wooden buildings went out of use by the year 300 AD. On the site of the wooden buildings was a large building separate from the two other ranges, and excavations revealed that it had heated floors, mosaic pavements and a tessellated floor. It was also connected to the bath house and the second aisled hall, making it the main domestic range of the villa complex.
When the Romans withdrew from Britain in 410 AD, the villa complex was abandoned shortly after and the site was eventually reverted back to farmland during the Anglo-Saxon era.
Bucknowle House was eventually built on the site of the villa complex.
Excavation
A number of Romano-British sites have been discovered and studied on the Isle of Purbeck. The Bucknowle Roman villa found at Bucknowle Farm is the first substantial villa to be found south of the Purbeck Hills. It was excavated between 1976 and 1991.
The first signs to its existence were unearthed in 1975 as fragments of pottery were found in a field by Tony Brown, who was allowed to dig a small trench in the area. The excavations, that subsequently lasted until the summer of 1991, conclusively revealed a complex of domestic and farmstead buildings. Moreover, beneath these, a more complicated system of Iron Age and early Roman Age habitation was uncovered, including the remains of Iron Age graves.
Many artefacts have been recovered from the site, including 213+ coins, many roof and flue tiles, bracelets, brooches and pottery, just to name a few.

Music from Two Continents
|
Music from Two Continents (Live at Jazz Jamboree '84) is a live album by pianist Cecil Taylor on which he is joined by a large ensemble. It was recorded on October 26, 1984, at the Jazz Jamboree festival in Warsaw, Poland, and was released in 2021 by the Polish label Fundacja Słuchaj!. The album was recorded several days after the Milan studio sessions documented on Winged Serpent (Sliding Quadrants), and features most of the same musicians.
Reception
The New York City Jazz Record'''s Duck Baker called the album "excellent," and wrote: "There are fantastic solos, duos and other combinations along the way, but even when everyone is blowing their heads off, it is always, unmistakably, the music of Cecil Taylor."
In an article for JazzWord, Ken Waxman described the album as "another exhilarating musical ride from Taylor and one many will which to climb aboard," and noted: "Containing languorous and muted passages as well as expected frenetic and clamorous ones, the effect is that of multiple distinct timbres proposed at the same time, with internal logic preventing babbling turbulence."
Stuart Broomer of The Whole Note stated: "Like many of Taylor's works, this hour-long piece had a ritualistic character, incorporating chanting and shouting. Here, movements with cries, hollers and snippets of song, hinting at mysteries and suggesting primordial rites, alternate with longer instrumental passages of motivically organized improvisation. These segments touch on Taylor's deep roots."
Writing for the Downtown Music Gallery'', Bruce Lee Gallanter commented: "There is some magic glue going on here: the Taylor-led rhythm team is burnin' at the center of the storm while the eight reeds & brass swirl together into an intense, spirited frenzy! Each member of the reeds & brass choir get a chance to stretch out, soar together and add inspired solos. The music here is well-recorded and the entire 60 minute performance is extraordinary from the beginning to the righteous conclusion. It doesn't get any better than this!"

Sun Odyssey 409
|
The Sun Odyssey 409 is a French sailboat that was designed by Philippe Briand as a cruiser and first built in 2010.
A version for the yacht charter market was designated the Sunsail 41. The design replaced the Sun Odyssey 39i and was in turn replaced in production by the Sun Odyssey 419 in 2019.
The boat was named the "2011 - European Yacht of the Year: Family Cruiser".
Production
The design was built by Jeanneau in France, from 2010 to 2015, with about 300 boats completed, but it is now out of production. It was also produced at Jeanneau's US factory in Marion, South Carolina.
Design
The Sun Odyssey 409 is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of polyester fiberglass, with wood trim. The hard-chined hull is hand-laid solid fiberglass, while the deck is injection molded with a balsa core. It has a fractional sloop rig, with a deck-stepped mast, two sets of swept spreaders and aluminum spars with 1X19 stainless steel wire rigging. The hull has a plumb stem, a reverse transom with a fold-down tailgate swimming platform, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by dual wheels and a fixed "L"-shaped fin keel with a weighted bulb or optional shoal-draft keel. The fin keel model displaces empty and carries of cast iron ballast, while the shoal draft version displaces empty and carries of cast iron ballast. There is a liferaft locker located below the cockpit sole.
The boat has a draft of with the standard keel and with the optional shoal draft keel.
The boat is fitted with a Japanese Yanmar 3JH5-CE diesel engine of with a three-blade fixed propeller for docking and maneuvering. The fuel tank holds and the fresh water tank has a capacity of .
The design was built in two and three cabin versions. The two cabin layout has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a double "V"-berth in the bow cabin, a "U"-shaped settee and additional two seats in the main cabin and an aft cabin with a double berth on the starboard side, with a storage space to port. The three-cabin model adds a third cabin aft to port in place of the storage. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is "L"-shaped and is equipped with a two-burner stove, an ice box and a double sink. There are two heads, one in the bow cabin on the starboard side and one on the port side in the aft cabin. Cabin headroom is . Twin 45 watt solar panels were a factory option, the first Jeanneau boat to offer this.
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical spinnaker of , an asymmetrical spinnaker of or a Code 0 of .
The design has a hull speed of and a PHRF handicap of 66 to 99.
Operational history
In a 2010 boats.com review, Zuzana Prochazka wrote, "the plumb bow, low coachroof with its long, non-opening side portlights, and an angular transom make the boat look serious, fast and maybe a little intimidating. She looks like a force to be reckoned with."
In a 2011 Cruising World review, Tim Murphy wrote, "the 409 puts a host of innovative details on a relatively conventional platform—with just one exception. While the hull’s basic dimensions are consistent with a typical modern cruising boat, the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 409 has a hard chine running from about amidships aft."
In a 2011 review for Sail Magazine, Charles J. Doane wrote, " In light to moderate conditions on Biscayne Bay (8 to 10 knots of wind, slowly building to 12) with the rig properly tweaked, the boat tracked well and I found the helm to be nicely balanced and forgiving. In lighter winds that morning we occasionally topped 5 knots sailing close-hauled, and I was able to leave the wheel unattended for long periods without the boat falling off. In somewhat stronger wind later on, we easily topped 6 knots on a close reach, and the helm stayed balanced, with no tendency to round up when the wheel was released. In significantly stronger wind (15 knots, gusting to 20) during my earlier sail, I found the boat was reassuringly stiff, thanks in part to the hard chine in the topsides running aft from amidships."

Teio
|
Teio, also known as Te'o, Mary, and Sore Mummy, (died March 14, 1829) was a Tahitian woman who settled on Pitcairn Island with the Bounty mutineers. Alongside Mauatua and Teraura, she is one of the island's six original matriarchs.
The Tahitian-born Teio's first connection to the Bounty crew was as the consort of Thomas McIntosh, who brought her to Tubuai. McIntosh was a loyalist and did not join the mutineers, remaining in Tahiti. However, Teio sailed with the mutineers to Pitcairn in 1789, although it is unknown whether she went willingly or was brought by force. She brought her daughter with a previous Tahitian partner, a 10-month-old known as Sully, Sarah, or Susannah by the mutineers, to the island, becoming the only woman in the party to arrive with a child.
On Pitcairn, Teio was partnered with William McCoy, with whom she had two children: Daniel, born in 1792, and Kate or Catherine, born in 1799. McCoy died by suicide in 1798, shortly before their daughter's birth. Teio remained on the island, and a little over a decade later she began a relationship with John Adams, whose consort Vahineatua had died. Teio and Adams, who were formally married by the visiting Frederick William Beechey in 1825, had one son, George Adams, in 1804.
Teio grew blind later in life, and she died in 1829, less than two weeks after her husband. Hers is one of very few marked graves on the island from this period.
Teio's descendants contributed significantly to the population of Pitcairn: Sarah had eight children with Charles Christian, including Charles Christian II and Fletcher Christian II; Daniel had nine children with Sarah Quintal, including Matthew McCoy; Catherine had nine children with Arthur Quintal I, including Arthur Quintal II; and George had three children with Polly Young.

Ciudadanos en Apoyo a los Derechos Humanos, A.C. (CADHAC)
|
Ciudadanos en Apoyo a los Derechos Humanos, A.C. (CADHAC), also known in English as Citizens in Support of Human Rights, is a Mexican non-governmental organization founded in 1993 based in Monterrey, Nuevo León by Consuelo Morales Elizondo. Its main objective is the promotion and defense of human rights in the state of Nuevo León and northern Mexico.
Activities
CADHAC carries out various activities to promote and defend human rights in northern Mexico. Its activities include providing legal advice and representation to victims of human rights violations, promoting human rights education, documenting cases of human rights violations, conducting research on human rights-related issues, and participating in networks and coalitions for the defense of human rights. CADHAC has also worked to denounce violence and impunity in the region, particularly in relation to cases of forced disappearances and extrajudicial executions.
Between 2009 and 2014, CADHAC and the group AMORES collaborated on roughly 1249 cases of missing persons, with around 26% of the cases involving state agents and 74% attributed to organized crime. Additionally, they worked to advocate for specific policies such as the declaration of missing persons due to forced disappearance. A total of 104 individuals were located, with 59 found alive and 45 through genetic testing. Moreover, an early search mechanism for missing persons was established by CADHAC in 2015, and they were successful in achieving the approval of the Law for the Declaration of Missing Persons due to Forced Disappearance in Nuevo León State in April of that same year.
Recognitions
In 2015, the NGO received the Franco-German Human Rights Award "Gilberto Bosques" for their work.
In 2012, CADHAC received the XX National Award of Human Rights “Don Sergio Méndez Arceo”.

Many employees have worked there for decades. According to the Los Angeles Daily News and the Hollywood Reporter, actors such as Jane Fonda, Marlon Brando, Cary Grant, Dean Martin and Desi Arnaz were regulars from time of the restaurant's beginnings and the restaurant continued to attract high-profile Hollywood people, such as Dakota Fanning, Charlize Theron and Sandra Bullock, over the subsequent decades.

In 2022 the restaurant was named one of America's Classics by the James Beard Foundation, which credited it for popularizing Mexican cuisine in the area. The Infatuation called it "easily one of LA’s most recognizable Mexican restaurants". According to Eater LA it is "one of Los Angeles’s most beloved restaurants". CBS News called it "iconic". People Magazine called it "a fixture in LA".
Ownership
The restaurant was taken over by Vega's daughter, Christina Vega, in 2012. Rafael Vega died in 2021 of COVID.

2023 Northeast Conference women's basketball tournament
|
The 2023 Northeast Conference Women's Basketball Tournament will be the postseason women's basketball tournament for the Northeast Conference for the 2022–23 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The tournament will take place on three dates between March 6, 9 and March 12, 2023, and all tournament games will be played on home arenas of the higher-seeded school. The tournament winner will receive the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Seeds
All eight eligible teams of the nine members of the conference will qualify. Effective for the 2022–23 academic year, NEC teams transitioning from Division II are eligible for the NEC tournament during their third and fourth years of the transition period. If a reclassifying institution wins the NEC tournament championship, the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament goes to the NEC tournament runner up. The rule change regarding reclassifying institutions results in Merrimack being eligible for the 2023 NEC tournament, since it is in its fourth transition year.
Teams will be seeded by record within the conference, with a tiebreaker system to seed teams with identical conference records.
Stonehill College joined the Northeast Conference from the Division II Northeast-10 Conference. Stonehill is ineligible for the NCAA tournament until the 2026–27 season during its four-year reclassification period and won't be eligible for the NEC tournament until the 2024–25 season.
Schedule
Bracket
Teams are reseeded after each round with highest remaining seeds receiving home court advantage.

USA Today / CNN Top 25

The USA Today / CNN Top 25 football poll was a weekly ranking of the top 25 NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision college football teams. The poll was published in the nascent national newspaper USA Today, which first launched in 1982, and was distributed on parent company Gannett's newswire. Starting in 1983 the poll took on CNN as a voting and broadcast partner.
The Top 25 poll was an alternative and competitor to the established major wire service polls: the Associated Press media poll and the United Press International poll of coaches.
At the end of each season the poll's No. 1 team was awarded the Top 25 trophy, emblematic of the poll's college football national championship. The NCAA recognizes the USA Today and USA Today / CNN polls as "major selectors" of national championships for the years 1982 and 1983–1990, and additionally denotes that the Top 25 poll's selection constitutes a "consensus national champion".
The original Top 25 poll ended prior to the 1991 season when USA Today / CNN instead took over distribution of the more distinguished AFCA Coaches Poll from UPI.
National champions
The USA Today / CNN Top 25 poll selected the following college football national champions during the poll's 9 years:
Starting in 1991, USA Today / CNN took over operation of the Coaches Poll from UPI and awarded the Coaches' Trophy.

The No. 1 team on the final Top 25 poll was awarded the USA Today / CNN Top 25 National College Football Champion trophy.

Voice of Egypt No. 10
|
Voice of Egypt No. 10 is a painting by Dutch artist Jean Thomassen (born 5 September 1949), whose unusual and unpredictable paintings have made him an international leader in the genre of 'absurd realism'. He lives in Heiloo in the Netherlands.
The painter's muse Ine Veen appears twice in this painting. The larger depiction shows her as an Egyptian priestess enacting a necromantic ritual, calling up the spirits from the underworld. The calls are answered by shabtis in the background.
The figure of the god Bes wearing a feathered headdress is shown next to the shabtis and the figure of the god Osiris stands in a kiosk on the right, above the lion, with two further shabtis appearing in adjacent kiosks.
Many typical Jean Thomassen elements also appear in this painting, such as a scarab on wheels (complete with a wind-up key) and a cat peering over the top of a temple.
