President of Harvard University

The President of Harvard University is the chief administrator of the university and the ex officio chairman of the Harvard Corporation .

Each is appointed by and is responsible to the other members of that body , who delegate to the president the day - to - day running of the university .

Harvard is a famously decentralized university , noted for the " every tub on its own bottom " independence of its various constituent faculties .

They set their own academic standards and manage their own budgets .

The president , however , plays an important part in university - wide planning and strategy .

Each names a faculty 's dean ( and , since the foundation of the office in 1994 , the university 's provost ) , and grants tenure to recommended professors ; however , he or she is expected to make such decisions after extensive consultation with faculty members .

Harvard presidents have traditionally influenced educational practices nationwide .

Charles W. Eliot , for example , originated America 's familiar system of a smorgasbord of elective courses available to each student ; James B. Conant worked to introduce standardized testing ; Derek Bok and Neil L. Rudenstine argued for the continued importance of diversity in higher education .

Recently , however , the job has become increasingly administrative , especially as fund - raising campaigns have taken on central importance in large institutions such as Harvard .

Some have criticized this trend to the extent it has prevented the president from focusing on substantive issues in higher education .

Each president is professor in some department of the university and teaches from time to time .

Harvard 's current president is Lawrence Bacow , formerly the president of Tufts University .

Bern–Lötschberg–Simplon railway

The Bern – Lötschberg – Simplon railway ( BLS ) , known between 1997 and 2006 as the BLS Lötschbergbahn , was a Swiss railway company .

In 2006 the company merged with Regionalverkehr Mittelland AG to form a new company called BLS AG .

The Bern – Lötschberg – Simplon railway was the largest standard gauge network on the Swiss Railway system apart from the Swiss Federal Railways .

The railway had not been built at the time that the Federal government took control of the five big Swiss standard gauge railway companies in 1902 and so it led a separate existence , being considered the largest of the Swiss " private " railways , although the majority of its capital was owned by the cantonal government of Bern , with the Confederation holding about one fifth .


Pennsylvanian (geology)

The Pennsylvanian ( also known as Upper Carboniferous or Late Carboniferous ) is , in the ICS geologic timescale , the younger of two subperiods ( or upper of two subsystems ) of the Carboniferous Period .

It lasted from roughly Ma ( million years ago ) .

As with most other geochronologic units , the rock beds that define the Pennsylvanian are well identified , but the exact date of the start and end are uncertain by a few hundred thousand years .

The Pennsylvanian is named after the U.S. state of Pennsylvania , where the coal - productive beds of this age are widespread .

The division between Pennsylvanian and Mississippian comes from North American stratigraphy .

In North America , where the early Carboniferous beds are primarily marine limestones , the Pennsylvanian was in the past treated as a full - fledged geologic period between the Mississippian and the Permian .

In Europe , the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian are one more - or - less continuous sequence of lowland continental deposits and are grouped together as the Carboniferous Period .

The current internationally used geologic timescale of the ICS gives the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian the rank of subperiods , subdivisions of the Carboniferous Period .

Edward Purcell (musician)

Edward Purcell ( 1689 – 1740 ) was an English organist and composer .

Purcell was born in Westminster , London , the only surviving son of the English Baroque master , Henry Purcell , who died in 1695 when Edward was a small child .

When his mother Frances died in February 1706 , she stated in her will , and apparently in accordance with her husband 's wishes , that she had given him a good education .

She also bequeathed to him music and instruments : " the organ , the double spinnet , the single spinnet " ; possibly the instruments her husband had used .

Edward became organist of St Clement Eastcheap , in London at the end of 1711 , a position he retained for the rest of his life .

He was unsuccessful in his attempts to succeed his uncle Daniel Purcell as organist of St Andrew 's , Holborn , on 19 February 1718 and again on 3 April 1719 .

He eventually became organist at St. Margaret 's , Westminster , on 8 July 1726 , concurrent with his post at Eastcheap .

In 1739 , the year before his death , he was one of the founder - members of the London - based musicians ' benevolent society then known as the Society of Musicians ( later to become the Royal Society of Musicians ) .

He was buried in St Clement Eastcheap near the organ gallery door , and was succeeded as organist there by his son Edward Henry Purcell ( d. 1765 ) .

Edward Purcell published two songs , though the psalm chants often attributed to him seem to be by an earlier namesake , perhaps his uncle Edward .

Lake Parime

Lake Parime or Lake Parima is a legendary lake located in South America .

It was reputedly the location of the fabled city of El Dorado , also known as Manoa , much sought - after by European explorers .

Repeated attempts to find the lake failed to confirm its existence , and it was dismissed as a myth along with the city .

The search for Lake Parime led explorers to map the rivers and other features of southern Venezuela , northern Brazil , and southwestern Guyana before the lake 's existence was definitively disproved in the early 19th century .

Some explorers proposed that the seasonal flooding of the Rupununi savannah may have been misidentified as a lake .

Recent geological investigations suggest that a lake may have existed in northern Brazil , but that it dried up some time in the 18th century .

Both " Manoa " ( Arawak language ) and " Parime " ( Carib language ) are believed to mean " big lake " .

Two other mythical lakes , Lake Xarayes or Xaraies ( sometimes called Lake Eupana ) , and Lake Cassipa , are often depicted on early maps of South America .

Shia view of Umar

Umar ibn al - Khattab was one of the earliest figures in the history of Islam .

While Sunnis regard Umar ibn al - Khattab in high esteem and respect his place as one of the " Four Righteously Guided Caliphs " , Shia do not view him as a legitimate leader of the Ummah and believe that Umar and Abu Bakr conspired to usurp power from Ali .

Shia believe that the Sunni view of Umar was created by the later Umayyad dynasty to honour the man that gave power to the first Umayyad ruler and third Sunni Caliph , Uthman .

In this way , it gives legitimacy to Umar 's consultation that started their own dynasty .

Shia believe that the Umayyad view was propagated with lethal force and heavy duress and as time went on , that view became predominant and eventually taken as truth , cemented by the works of Bukhari .

However , Shi'a believe that despite the perceived white washing of Umar , bits of his true qualities can be found in all sources , including Sunni ones .

They also believe that invented positive traits attributed to him do not hold up to closer scrutiny .

Standard Oil

Standard Oil Co. Inc. was an American oil producing , transporting , refining , and marketing company .

Established in 1870 by John D. Rockefeller and Henry Flagler as a corporation in Ohio , it was the largest oil refinery in the world of its time .

Its history as one of the world 's first and largest multinational corporations ended in 1911 , when the United States Supreme Court , in a landmark case , ruled that Standard Oil was an illegal monopoly .

Standard Oil dominated the oil products market initially through horizontal integration in the refining sector , then , in later years vertical integration ; the company was an innovator in the development of the business trust .

The Standard Oil trust streamlined production and logistics , lowered costs , and undercut competitors .

" Trust - busting " critics accused Standard Oil of using aggressive pricing to destroy competitors and form a monopoly that threatened other businesses .

Rockefeller ran the company as its chairman , until his retirement in 1897 .

He remained the major shareholder , and in 1911 , with the dissolution of the Standard Oil trust into 34 smaller companies , Rockefeller became the richest man in the world , as the initial income of these individual enterprises proved to be much bigger than that of a single larger company .

Its successors such as ExxonMobil or Chevron are still among the companies with the largest income worldwide .

By 1882 , his top aide was John Dustin Archbold .

After 1896 , Rockefeller disengaged from business to concentrate on his philanthropy , leaving Archbold in control .

Other notable Standard Oil principals include Henry Flagler , developer of the Florida East Coast Railway and resort cities , and Henry H. Rogers , who built the Virginian Railway .


Aniran

Anīrân ( Modern Persian , ) or Anērān ( Middle Persian , ) is an ethno - linguistic term that signifies " non - Iranian " or " non - Iran " ( non - Aryan ) .

Thus , in a general sense , ' Aniran ' signifies lands where Iranian languages are not spoken .

In a pejorative sense , it denotes " a political and religious enemy of Iran and Zoroastrianism . "

The term ' Aniran ' derives from Middle Persian anērān , Pahlavi ʼnyrʼn , an antonym of ērān that in turn denoted either the people or the Sasanian Empire .

However , " in Zoroastrian literature and possibly in Sasanian political thought as well , the term has also a markedly religious connotation .

An anēr person is not merely non - Iranian , but specifically non - Zoroastrian ; and anēr designates also worshipers of the dēws ( " demons " ) or adherents of other religions . "

In these texts of the ninth to twelfth century , " Arabs and Turks are called anēr , as are Muslims generally , the latter in a veiled manner . "

Battle of the Teutoburg Forest

The Battle of the Teutoburg Forest ( , Hermannsschlacht , or Varusschlacht , ) , described as the Varian Disaster ( Clades Variana ) by Roman historians , took place in the Teutoburg Forest in 9 CE , when an alliance of Germanic tribes ambushed and decisively destroyed three Roman legions and their auxiliaries , led by Publius Quinctilius Varus .

The alliance was led by Arminius , a Germanic officer of Varus ' auxilia .

Arminius had acquired Roman citizenship and had received a Roman military education , which enabled him to deceive the Roman commander methodically and anticipate the Roman army 's tactical responses .

Despite several successful campaigns and raids by the Romans in the years after the battle , they never again attempted to conquer the Germanic territories east of the Rhine river .

The victory of the Germanic tribes against Rome 's legions in the Teutoburg Forest would have far - reaching effects on the subsequent history of both the ancient Germanic peoples and the Roman Empire .

Contemporary and modern historians have generally regarded Arminius ' victory over Varus as " Rome 's greatest defeat " , one of the most decisive battles recorded in military history , and as " a turning - point in world history " .

History of the Jews in Argentina

The history of the Jews in Argentina goes back to the early sixteenth centuries , following the Jewish expulsion from Spain .

Sephardi Jews fleeing persecution immigrated with explorers and colonists to settle in what is now Argentina .

In addition , many of the Portuguese traders in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata were Jewish .

An organized Jewish community , however , did not develop until after Argentina gained independence from Spain in 1816 .

By mid - century , Jews from France and other parts of Western Europe , fleeing the social and economic disruptions of revolutions , began to settle in Argentina .

Reflecting the composition of the later immigration waves , the current Jewish population is 80 % Ashkenazi ; while Sephardic and Mizrahi are a minority .

Argentina has the largest Jewish population of any country in Latin America , although numerous Jews left during the 1970s and 1980s to escape the repression of the military junta , emigrating to Israel , West Europe ( especially Spain ) , and North America .

The Jewish population in Argentina is the largest in Latin America , the third largest in the Americas , and the world 's seventh largest outside Israel .

During a major emigration wave in the 2000s , more than 10,000 Argentine Jews settled in Israel .

Rhodes blood libel

The Rhodes blood libel was an 1840 event of blood libel against Jews , in which the Greek Orthodox community accused Jews on the island of Rhodes ( then part of the Ottoman Empire ) of the ritual murder of a Christian boy who disappeared in February of that year .

Initially the libel garnered support from the consuls of several European countries , including the United Kingdom , France , the Austrian Empire , Sweden , and Greece , although later several supported the Jewish community .

The Ottoman governor of Rhodes broke with the long tradition of the Ottoman governments ( which had previously denied the factual basis of the blood libel accusations ) and supported the ritual murder charge .

The government arrested several Jewish subjects , some of whom were tortured and confessed .

It blockaded the entire Jewish quarter for twelve days .

The Jewish community of Rhodes appealed for help from the Jewish community in Constantinople , who forwarded the appeal to European governments .

In the United Kingdom and Austria , Jewish communities gained support from their governments .

They sent official dispatches to the ambassadors in Constantinople unequivocally condemning the blood libel .

A consensus developed that the charge was false .

The governor of Rhodes sent the case to the central government , which initiated a formal inquiry into the affair .
