Gordon Franklin de Lisle (28 Feb 1923–2002) FRPS, FRSA, EFIAP (Excellence de la Federation de l' Art Photographique) was an Australian commercial photographer, lecturer in photography and gallery owner. Training De Lisle, who in business styled his name 'De'Lisle', was born in Melbourne 28 Feb 1923. His father Frank died when he was 11 and at 13 he left school to help support his mother Ada (who later lived in Mt Macedon) and sister. He trained in photography from 1939 as a cadet at age fifteen on the pictorial staff of The Daily Telegraph (Sydney) and The Australian Women's Weekly. When the war began he joined the merchant marine and participated in the evacuation of the Solomon Islands, then at eighteen joined the RAAF as a radar operator, but was soon reassigned as a photographer. He flew in Catalina flying-boats for four years on reconnaissance and torpedo-training duties, with frequent assignments to Mitchell and Liberator squadrons. He was engaged in 1945 to Bettie Tuck. He found time and means during the war to write and photograph for newspapers and magazines including an article on Marjorie Lawrence's concerts for armed service personnel. After his demobilisation in 1945 De Lisle faced charges and a £2 fine for keeping his Colt service pistol in ignorance of Victorian regulations being at odds with Queensland's. Professional photographer After the war in 1947 De'Lisle opened his own photographic studios in the Exhibition Buildings specialising in society portraits, industrial, aerial and automotive photography, and met, and on 20 February 1948 married after nearly a year's engagement, Merton Hall-educated model Cynthia Ferguson of Malvern, who worked for Georges department store. Parties associated with the engagement and wedding were well publicised and the Lord Mayor Sir Raymond Connelly attended the reception. They travelled 1948–1949, he first to Indonesia before the couple toured Britain and Europe, then returned to Melbourne before the birth in April 1949 of their first child Jeanine (Jennie) Christina. He installed his business at 9 Collins Street in the Grosvenor Chambers where Wolfgang Sievers also had a studio only doors away from their friend Athol Shmith, to concentrate on commercial and fashion photography. The Department of Trade and Industry was amongst his clients. From 1949 De Lisle was a stringer for the Sydney Morning Herald magazine and newspaper group in Melbourne and was living in the wealthy suburb of Brighton in Grosvenor Court, 260 St Kilda Street. Through this franchise his picture of a tractor-driving monkey was published in Life magazine in February 1963 and, by popular demand, a whole series from the same story May 1964. He relinquished the SMH role when in 1958/9 director Stanley Kramer appointed him stills photographer on the motion picture On the Beach, to produce thousands of production prints for the film. Subsequently, he returned to advertising photography. In 1966 he was styling his business more broadly as 'public relations' and advertised for 'PR men' using the tone-drop-out image of a pouting woman apparently speaking the words. Publisher In 1963 De Lisle and his wife Cynthia started a publishing company, Joey Books Pty. Ltd., and with writer Joyce Nicholson photographed and designed their first book Kerri and Honey, one of a series of their children's books with the same author. Recognition De Lisle was a member of Melbourne Camera Club and exhibited with Group M in the 1960s and won international photographic contests. Among other prizes was a third in the U.S. Camera magazine international contest, from 158,000 entries, and in 1960 the magazine noted that "of 5 prizes being shipped to Australia, 4 are going to one photographer, Gordon De Lisle, a past U.S. Camera winner." His series of "Australia" posters won awards in American Art Directors' exhibitions, with one winning thirteen. A member of the Institute of Australian Photographers (IAP) he was the invited speaker at its October 1969 'Hypo' bi-annual convention in Canberra at which he agitated for better remuneration for photographic services;"This is a profession where a photographer with a lifetime of training and with plant worth $20,000 finishes with exactly the same money for taking a fashion photograph, processing it, retouching it, packing it and delivering a ten-by-eight print as does his model: whose plant is a bra, panties, and a pair of false eyelashes! This is a profession whose ideas are pillaged consistently and blatantly by art directors of advertising agencies; who pay the photographers’ meagre fees, with luck and after endless dispute, in five months. Above all, this is a weak-kneed, spineless profession, whose members wallow in apathy and self-adoration; while those trades and professions about them get on with the task. Do any of you really feel any concern for your image? Are you content to be made to look like bumbling congenital idiots on television? Are you content to do more and more, yet accept less and less? Are you content to slash the “ground from under your contemporaries by every known price-cutting device? And here’s something of particular importance to your wives and children! Do you know what the community thinks of you? The Sociology Department of the University of New South Wales does! It finds you enjoying precisely the same esteem in the eyes of your fellow citizens as do beekeepers, [and] bank clerks..." Educator In 1970 De Lisle, then in his late forties, followed Ian McKenzie as Senior Lecturer in Charge Photography in the Diploma stream of Prahran College of Technology where he researched videotape and electronic education, hired by the vocationally-oriented graphic designer Principal Alan Warren but after suffering a severe heart attack in 1971 was replaced, by the incoming Principal Dr David Armstrong, with Athol Shmith. While at Prahran he worked on his high-contrast photomontage series on “the raped land, Australia, as it would appear to a woman who returns from the dead to discover that her country, too, is dying,” which combined his love of the Australian landscape and the female form, and was exhibited and published in 1972 in the Ilford-funded Concern. Though he contributed to charities, and decried cruelty to sheep, and expressed sympathy for the plight of Marilyn Monroe in letters to newspapers, De Lisle had a reputation at the College for a wolfish attitude to young women, and one of De Lisle's students, and employee at his studio, was Graham Howe, who regarded him "as the Sam Haskins of Australia". Victorian premier of 1955–72, Henry Bolte's vice squad raided his family home, confiscating his "pornography"; nudes for which he was then winning international awards, an experience which confirmed his vehemently expressed opposition to censorship, particularly of the arts. A regular writer of letters to the editor, he notoriously criticised the new National Gallery in Melbourne: "The building squats, featureless, like an obscure grey telephone exchange, floating in already scungy moats floored with lolly papers ... like a bleak penitentiary." Later life In 1974 the De Lisle family moved to the Sunshine Coast and established the DeLisle (now Montville) Art Gallery, first at Buderim and from later in 1974 at Montville, renovating the colonial Manjalda homestead which in 1915 had been designed to accommodate about 35 people and was sited between St. Mary's Church of England and the School of Arts. Its croquet lawn, exotic tropical gardens with Balinese statuary, a hot tub beneath a huge frangipani tree and ocean views, proved attractive to tourists. De Lisle enjoyed the roles of hotelier and gallerist and adopted a relaxed and gregarious bohemian lifestyle. He retired in 1991, and on his death in 2002 was survived by Cynthia, his wife of 54 years, his daughter Jennie, sons Rodney, and artist Christopher, who has continued to operate the gallery, and eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Another son, James, died in 1997.

Neoprotoparmelia brasilisidiata is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It has a neotropical distribution, and has been recorded from Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Brazil, where it grows in parks and open areas. The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Garima Singh, Marcela Eugenia da Silva Cáceres, and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected by Cáceres and Aptroot in the Serra de Itabaiana National Park (Sergipe, Brazil), at an altitude of about . The specific epithet brasilisidiata refers to both the country where it was first scientifically documented, as well as the presence of isidia. The lichen contains secondary compounds that can be detected using thin-layer chromatography, including alectoronic acid (major), and minor to trace amounts of dehydroalectoronic acid and β-alectoronic acid. When shone with a UV light, the medulla of the thallus and the isidia have a greenish white glow; this characteristic can be used to help distinguish it from other similar crusts with isidia.

Invasion of the Space Invaders: An Addict's Guide to Battle Tactics, Big Scores and the Best Machines is a 1982 nonfiction book on video games by the British author Martin Amis. The book is both a survey of the 80s New York City arcade scene, and a cheat sheet of gaming tips and tricks. Despite some reportage to the contrary, Amis has not "disowned" the book as has been claimed, despite its great dissimilarity to the rest of the oeuvre. The book's foreword is written by fellow arcade game enthusiast Steven Spielberg. Amis does strike an admonishing tone at times, even going so far as to say that video gaming is "morally ambiguous". The book was written concurrently with Money. References 1982 non-fiction books Books about video games

Elizabeth Russell (9 October 1836 – 6 September 1928) was an American missionary and educator. She founded Kwassui Gakuin, a school for girls and women in Nagasaki. She was sent by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church to Japan in 1879 at the age of forty-three. She contributed to the women's education, social welfare and missionary during her forty years in Japan, and was decorated by the Emperor of Japan in 1919. Biography Elizabeth Russell was born in Cadiz, Ohio. Her father was a millwright. In 1859 when she was 23 years old, Russell graduated from Washington Female Seminary. Then, Russell was a teacher for about ten years, including during the American Civil War. In her late thirties, she attended a Methodist revival camp, and decided to be a missionary. While continuing to teach, Russell became the secretary of the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church (WFMS), West Virginia conference. After several years in the WFMS, Russell came to think she should personally go abroad for mission. Russell and another teacher named Jennie Gheer sailed from San Francisco for Japan, on October 25, 1879, reaching Nagasaki on November 23, 1879. In 1873, the American Episcopal Methodist Church　had already sent John Carrol Davidson to Nagasaki, who had build a church in Dejima. Russell founded a mission school for girls and women in the foreign settlement in Higashi-Yamate, Nagasaki on December 1, 1879. Number of students increased from one in 1879–80, to eighteen in 1881, and forty-three in 1882. The purpose of Russell's school's curriculum was to train independent career women as well as homemakers and mothers. In addition to being the principal at Kwassui, Russell adopted a Japanese baby girl, named May in 1885. May was sent to the States when she was eleven. When May graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1910, she returned to Japan to help Russell. Russell also founded Kwassui Girl's home in Kumamoto, for children left without parents after natural disasters. In addition, Russell set up a seaman's home for sailors entering the Nagasaki's port in order to keep them away from “entertainment areas” during their stay in Nagasaki. She retired from the principal at the age of sixty-one, she stayed at Kwassui Gakuin. She was awarded the Japanese emperor's blue ribbon medal in 1919. At age of eighty-two, Russell and May returned to the US. May died from tuberculosis when she was thirty-nine, and Russell died in 1928 at her sister's house in Ohio.

The convoy to Canberra was an anti-vaccine mandate protest in Australia between late January and mid-February 2022 that was inspired by the Canadian Freedom Convoy protest. Thousands of protesters converged on the Australian capital city of Canberra, camping near the Australian Parliament, National Library and the National Press Club. As with the Canadian protest, the Canberra protest was organised through various social media platforms including Facebook, Telegram, GoFundMe, and GiveSendGo. By 13 February, most of the convoy protesters had dispersed after local authorities moved them in preparation for the Royal Canberra Show. Background The Canadian anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine mandate Freedom Convoy which began in late January 2022 inspired similar Facebook and Telegram groups in 34 countries including Australia. The Convoy to Canberra attracted various elements including anti-vaccination activists, anti-vaccine mandate activists, the Sovereign citizen movement, ultra religious groups, members of the United Australia Party, and self-proclaimed indigenous rights activists. The Aboriginal Tent Embassy disavowed the indigenous rights activists participating in the Convoy to Canberra and criticised the Sovereign citizen activists for hijacking the Australian indigenous rights cause. Timeline From 31 January 2022, a "Convoy to Canberra" consisting of thousands of protesters in trailers, trucks, cars and campervans gathered in Canberra, picketing the National Library of Australia, the Australian Parliament House and the National Press Club. Convoy participants vowed to remain to protest COVID-19 restrictions until the Australian Parliament sat on 8 February 2022. Protest organisers also planned an "Occupy Canberra" protest at Old Parliament House and the Australian Parliament House to coincide with the resumption of Parliament in the week of 7 February. Protesters waved flags or wore merchandise supporting Donald Trump, the United Australia Party, One Nation, the QAnon conspiracy theory, and anti-lockdown groups. In addition protesters criticised several prominent federal and state figures including Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews, New South Wales Premier Dominic Perrottet, and Australian Labor Party leader Anthony Albanese. The far right Canadian media outlet Rebel News's correspondent Avi Yemini also covered the protests; with the outlet's videos being circulated on several social media platforms including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Telegram and Instagram. The presence of protesters created traffic chaos in Canberra. On 2 February, police used pepper spray and arrested at least four participants while attempting to clear protesters camped outside the National Library. On 4 February, "Sovereign citizen groups" gathered outside police stations where supporters attempted to "serve papers" on public officials. On 5 February, about 2,000 anti-vaccination mandate protestors marched to the Parliamentary Triangle. The march began at Glebe Park in the CBD, then onto Commonwealth Avenue, disrupting traffic. United Australia Party leader Craig Kelly, Liberal National Party of Queensland Member of Parliament George Christensen and Senator Gerard Rennick attended the protests. That same day, the National Capital Authority objected to illegal camping and parking outside the National Library and ordered Police to remove them. On 12 February, around 10,000 protesters converged on Parliament House and Old Parliament House. These protesters had camped at Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC), after being moved on from the lawns next to the National Library. Police arrested three people including one man for breaching a fence while two others were arrested for disturbing the peace. The crowd was generally well behaved. Participants called for the elimination of mandates and the sacking of government ministers. In response, Police called on protesters to vacate by 13 February. In response to protest activity, Lifeline Canberra and the Capital Regional Farmers Market suspended their events due to safety concerns for customers. By 13 February, many of the Convoy to Canberra protesters had dispersed after being moved on from a camping ground in the Canberra CBD ahead of preparations for the Royal Canberra Show. The presence of the protesters had created friction with Canberra locals over the past two weeks. The previous night, anti-mandate protesters attempted to enter a BentSpoke brewery in Canberra but were stopped by staff since they did not comply with health directions. One of the protesters even threw a glass at the bar. The protesters' actions were criticised by BentSpoke founder Richard Watkins, who defended the conduct of his staff. Responses Politicians On 12 February 2022, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison defended his government's COVID-19 mitigation policies and urged protesters to demonstrate in a "peaceful and respectful way." Australian Labor Party leader Anthony Albanese called on them to return home and stated that their behaviour did little to advance their cause. By contrast, One Nation leader Pauline Hanson expressed support for the Canberra Convoy. Social media In late January 2022, the crowd fundraising website GoFundMe froze more than A$160,000 in funds raised by supporters of the "Convoy to Canberra" amidst concerns over how the money would be spent. On 8 February, the platform subsequently cancelled the pro-Convoy fundraising campaign on the grounds that it had violated its terms of service; returning more than A$179,000 to donors. On 10 February, Crikey reported that several fake Facebook accounts based in India, Bangladesh and Canada were being used to organise the Convoy to Canberra protest and to solicit donations. One notable account purportedly belonged to a Canadian named James Rhodes was found to have an artifically generated image while the administrator of another group was reveled to be a Bangladeshi man named Shamim Khan. While Facebook and Telegram were being used to advertise the protest and coordinate attendees, crowdfunding platforms such as GoFundMe and GiveSendGo were being used to raise funds for the protests. Meta Platforms subsequently deleted a Convoy to Canberra Facebook group, which claimed 177,000 members. On 17 February, a follow-up Crikey report found that at least two Convoy to Canberra Facebook groups were linked to Bangladeshi Facebook users, who had been paid by organisers of the Australian and Canadian convoy protests to promote these Facebook groups and their content. Crikey also reported that 588 Australian-based donors had donated US$33,734 to the Canadian Freedom convoy via GiveSendGo.

Chheng Phon, was born in 1930 in the Kompong Cham province and died on December 22, 2016, was a Cambodian artist who served as Minister of Information and Culture in the early 1990s, who is remembered as a "prominent dramatist and professor of Cambodia" as well as a "visionary of formidable knowledge, dedication, and energy" who has devoted a lifetime to preserving and nurturing Cambodian culture. Biography Youth of a Khmer teacher of performing arts before the War Youth and formation: from student to teacher Chheng Phon was born in 1930 in the Kompong Cham province. In his twenties, he was a favorite of Queen Kossamak, and frequented the Royal Palace where he learnt the Royal Ballet of Cambodia. He studied to become a teacher in 1955, and received a scholarship to pursue his studies in China which he completed in 1960, returning to Cambodia, not without difficulty, as his relationship with Sihanouk become more tense. He then started working at the Royal University of Fine Arts in Phnom Penh where he founded the Khmer Folklore Troupe in 1964 in order to fight against what he considered "rampant pessimism" in the field of culture in Cambodia. He become a full-fledged professor at the university in 1968. Traditional dancing during the Civil War In 1970, he visited Japan to participate in the Osaka International Exposition, leading a Cambodian dance troupe. Later in the 1970s, as the country became engulfed by the war in Indochina, he started a performing arts "farm" outside of Phnom Penh to train students from the University of Fine Arts in traditional dance drama while they raised vegetables, chickens, and pigs. With his troupe, he created four stories of the Yike drama and five stories of the Bassac drama. A leading figure for Khmer artists In 1972, Chheng Phon became the President of the Khmer Artists' Association. In 1973, he was named at the head of the National Conservatory of Spectacles of Cambodia, where he labored to save the art of Cambodian puppet theater by encouraging performers and collecting musical scores. He tried to develop an Artist Village intended to showcase the customs and traditions of Cambodia, through handicrafts, dance and music, but the idea fell short because of the war. Surviving the Khmer Rouges Chheng Phon was one of the small number of court dancers and dance teachers who survived the Pol Pot killings and "one of only three major cultural figures who survived the years of killings, hiding his identity and pretending to be a peasant." He spend these terrible years in Kompong Thom Province. Reviving Khmer greatness with the Ministry of Culture Bringing surviving dancers together In January 1979, Heng Samrin proclaimed the restoration of normal society after four years of the Pol Pot regime had trashed most aspects of family life and the previous society. Actor, poet, and director Pich Tum Krovil and Chheng Phon were among the cultural stars who miraculously survived and now dedicated the rest of their lives to resuscitating their cherished traditions of dance.They were enlisted by the new Ministry of Information and Culture under Keo Chenda, charged with the critical mission of bringing all the surviving dancers together. In 1981, Chheng Phon was named director of the School of Fine Arts which he reopened in Phnom Penh, as a place where he could gather the artists scattered across the country and train a new generation of dancers. His perception of the dire state of culture in Cambodia after the fall of the Khmers Rouges was unambiguous: Serving the renaissance of Cambodia as Minister of Culture In 1981, Chheng Pon was appointed Deputy Minister of the People's Republic of Kampuchea, thus becoming "the first person without any revolutionary or definite communist background to be appointed to a party leadership position". In 1982, Chheng Phon was appointed Minister of Culture of Kampuchea, staying in office until 1991, a position in which he had to reconcile his love for Khmer traditions and the political agenda of communist ideology, producing “revised” and politicized cultural works as artists were encouraged “ to adapt the tradition to modern times". Chheng Phon as Minister would however restore what was left of Khmer traditions among his people, saying: "the influence of Buddhism is quite significant, and the traditions of monarchy are still felt." He worked as an expert consultant on the set of Nine Levels of Hell, a Czech-Cambodian romantic drama from 1987. Professor Chheng Phon reopened the University of Fine Arts, Phnom Penh, the former Royal University of Fine Arts, in 1989 to promote the preservation of both tangible and intangible cultural assets of Cambodia. In 1990, as Minister of Culture, he told the Khmer classical ballet to revive all 18 forms of the ballet. Later life of the cultural conscience of Cambodia From retirement to spiritual retreat On August 5, 1990, Chheng Phon submitted his resignation as Minister for Culture for health reasons, though some journalists have noted that the real cause may have been his proximity with Ung Phan of the FUNCINPEC royalist party which had just been ousted. He retired from most of his political affairs in 1992 and used his own money to establish the Center for Culture and Vipassana at his home in the suburbs of Phnom Penh, in a place that was originally, in the late 1980s, a place for artists to study meditation in relation to performance. He travelled to California in 1993 to meet former students who had sought asylum in the United States. Together, they recreated the Khmer Royal Ballet in an auditorium at California State University at Long Beach. In 1993 he became a member of the National Council of Culture of Cambodia. Heading the National Election Committee After seven years far from political life, he returned to the public scene to hold a position as chairman of the National Election Committee of Cambodia in 1997, a choice that was criticized by those close to the FUNCINPEC who now considered him a supporter of Hun Sen too close to the Cambodian People's Party, which he had left briefly before the Paris Peace Agreements. On March 7, 1998, he signed a $25.8 million contract with a private company called Ciccone to stage the elections, and when criticized for his actions, he assumed his responsibility, saying there were no other options. Nevertheless, his neutrality was appreciated in the election process, even by international observers such as Human Rights Watch as well as the Asian Network for Free Elections, which acknowledged that Chheng Phon actively helped deploy a network of independent observers during the election cycle. Death Chheng Phon died on December 22, 2016, in Ta Khmau in Kandal province at the age of 86. Sending his condolences to the family, Prime Minister Hun Sen acknowledged him as a national hero saying: Views The "warrior mentality" and spiritual battle of Khmer civilization Chheng Phon defended his efforts to rebuild the classical dance tradition by appealing to a sense of pride in a Cambodian "national aesthetic." Chheng Phon often insisted, as he did during his intervention at Japan Foundation's "Symposium on Angkor," that the cultural restoration in Cambodia should also be a spiritual restoration. To that end, the renaissance of Khmer civilization did not only require a stronger economy but a new generation of politicians with a "warrior mentality", "visionary men and women who can reignite pride in the culture that the previous generation brought close to annihilation". Conserving Angkor As Minister of Culture, Chheng Phon struggled to preserve the authentic site of the Angkor monuments; for him, "build a five-star hotel near the monuments would be to destroy the monuments". He wanted horse-drawn carts as taxis and no airport close to the archeological site. He has an ambitious vision for the restoration of national monuments of Cambodia: Cultural communication between West and East While he was very conservative on cultural issues, Chheng Phon was open to new creations, such as the 1999 version of Shakespeare's Othello wich was blended into Khmer ballet by his niece Sophiline Shapiro whom he praised for her "communication between the west and the east". Legacy He was a representative playwright of Cambodia and also a professor of the study of ancient Khmer art. He was also a screenwriter, director, an actor. He contributed to the restoration of traditional culture in villages that were destroyed during the Khmer Civil War. He dedicated his life after the Civil War to the training of specialists who would devote themselves to the restoration of cultural property and was especially well known for assembling the artists and performers who survived the Khmer Rouge. As such, Chheng Phon is remembered as one of the "heroic saviours of the performing arts" in Cambodia". He is survived by two sons, who are filmmakers. Culture Minister Phoeurng Sackona is Chheng Phon's daughter-in-law. Chheng Phon was the mentor to a whole generation of Khmer artists, such as Pech Tum Kravil who considered Phon as his "mentor".

Collection is a double-LP album by Bill Dixon. It was recorded from 1972 to 1976 at Bennington College in Bennington, Vermont, and was released by Cadence Jazz Records in 1985. The album was reissued in 2000 as a double-CD set. While most of the tracks are recordings of solo trumpet pieces, one track features two percussionists and three tracks feature the voice of Dixon's young son. All of the tracks on Collection were included in the 2001 six-CD album Odyssey: Solo Works. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick wrote: "Collection serves as a fine, stark opportunity to hear the ideas of this under-recorded trumpet master... Dixon has a very painterly approach, and one can easily imagine these studies being drawn in space, their graceful lines reverberating in the air. His normal tone is mellow to the point of sounding like a flügelhorn, though he's quite capable of taking it to high and relatively abrasive extremes. More often... there's a sense of solitary, thoughtful melancholy that has more than a touch of Miles Davis... this is a good chance to hear a fascinating trumpeter displaying his ideas nakedly for the listener." The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars, and stated: "These mostly lo-fi recordings are a valuable record of [Dixon's] progress as a solo performer... Remarkably few come across merely as technical exercises, even when that is the presumed intention, and it's to Dixon's eternal credit that every piece... seems to have its own logic and purpose... it isn't an easy listen... but it's hugely satisfying."

Vilangu () is an Indian Tamil-language crime thriller web series produced as an Original for Zee5, directed by Prasanth Pandiyaraj of Bruce Lee fame. Produced by Escape Artists the series stars Vemal in the lead role along with Ineya, Bala Saravanan, Munishkanth and R. N. R. Manohar. The series comprised seven episodes and was released on Zee5 on 18 February 2022. Synopsis Paridhi (Vemal), a sub-inspector at the Vembur Police Station, in the outskirts of Trichy, is unable to balance his personal and professional life and it is the latter that consumes most of his time. A jewellery theft in a house, a decomposed dead body without a head, a cold-blooded murder - all three crimes that happen back to back, fall under the Vembur Police jurisdiction and the crimes are being investigated by Paridhi and his team of Police officers including Karuppu (Balasaravanan), Uthaman (Munishkanth), and others. As they set out to find the killer, they are welcomed by a series of unexpected events. Who is responsible for the murders that happened in the village and what was the final outcome of the police investigation? Cast Vemal as Paridhi Ineya as Revathi Bala Saravanan as Karuppu Munishkanth as SI Uthaman R. N. R. Manohar as Kodilingam S. S. Chakravarthy as DSP Vaidhyanathan Reshma Pasupuleti as Selvi Ravi as Kicha Sai Umesh Yogi Reception The series opened to extreme positive reviews. Vignesh Madhu of Cinema Express rated the series with 3/5 stars, stating that, "The word Vilangu translates to both handcuff and animal. It is an apt title for a series which is about cops as well as a deceitful man, who hides a beast in him. Leaving aside the horrifying violence, the convenient plot points, and the insipid 'family' scenes, Vilangu makes for a compelling watch." Behindwoods gave a rating of 3 out on 5 and wrote, "Strong performances from Vemal and Bala Saravanan, Ajesh's music and Prasanth's clever writing together propel Vilangu to a must watch zone." The News Minute wrote, "Vilangu makes for a gripping watch because it downplays its surprises intelligently, and doesn’t fall back on flashy, unrealistic reveals that revolve around a hero cop (the background score, too, is committed to the plot and not Paruthi). It’s a cat and mouse game where we aren’t sure until the end who is the cat and who is the mouse. Well played." OTTplay.com rated the series with 3.5/5 stars, called the series an edge-of-the-seat thriller. Binged.com gave a rating of 6.25 out on 10 and wrote the film as Slow Paced But Engaging Police Procedural Thriller. Galatta said "Vilangu is truly a comeback of sorts for Vemal and director Prasanth Pandiyaraj!" and rated the series 3/5 stars.

is an upcoming role-playing video game developed and published by Atlus. It is the sequel to Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers (1997) and the fifth installment of the Devil Summoner series, itself a part of the larger Megami Tensei franchise. It is planned to be released worldwide in August 2022 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. Premise Soul Hackers 2 takes place in the 21st Century and is set during a war between the Yatagarasu and the Phantom Society, two opposing factions of Devil Summoners. The story follows two supernatural "Aion" beings named Ringo and Figue, who descend into the human world from their birthplace in the data stream of information, in order to avert a cataclysmic event that they predict will doom humanity. Gameplay Soul Hackers 2 is a turn-based RPG that features a battle system derivative of the Press Turn system featured in the mainline Shin Megami Tensei games. Battles involve a party of four characters and the element affinities present in other Megami Tensei titles. Characters take turns using a combination of physical attacks and magic Skills that summon demons to perform elemental attacks. Should the player manage to successfully exploit an enemy or enemy group's weakness to a particular Skill, they are able to perform a Skill known as "Sabbath", which targets every weakened enemy in battle and deals immense damage involving every active party member. It is conceptually similar to the "All-Out Attack" Skill that appears prominently in the Persona series. Additionally, demon encounters can alternatively be resolved through negotiation, allowing the party to raise said demon's enthusiasm for recruitment into their party. New demons can also be manually summoned by virtue of demon fusion, allowing two or more recruited demons to be fused together to summon a new demon type while carrying over selected or randomized Skills from either respective demon. Another aspect carried over from the Persona games and Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE (2015) is the implementation of light social simulation elements. Outside of battles, the player controls the main protagonist, Ringo, allowing her to freely roam around the main city setting and visit various landmarks such as shops to purchase and equip new clothing, armor, items and various weapons that can be used in battle. Additionally, the player can also elect to spend time with other party members outside of combat, strengthening their bonds and enabling specific abilities that can thereby be used between party members in combat. Development Soul Hackers 2's development team comprises various returning staff members from other Atlus and Megami Tensei titles. A selection of staff involved in the game's development were announced alongside the game's reveal. It is directed and produced by the duo of Mitsuru Hirata, who previously helmed the Atlus RPG Radiant Historia (2010), and Eiji Ishida, who previously directed the original Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (2009) and served as a gameplay designer on Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne (2003) and Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army (2006). In addition, both previously worked together on Tokyo Mirage Sessions ♯FE. Ishida remarked that prior to the game's announcement, a sequel to the original Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers (1997) was oft-requested by fans, but feared that the game itself was at risk of becoming obscure due to the original game's age, compounded by the time between the game's re-release on Nintendo 3DS in 2012, and the decision made to revive the series. He further expressed concern at the reaction that would be drawn from the game's new aesthetics and mechanical changes to gameplay, stating that he was "nervous about whether people will accept them or not". Hirata observed that the original game had a dedicated fanbase surrounding it, but claimed that there were likewise, a number of players that only knew of the original Soul Hackers in passing and were interested in it. Ishida stated that he had begun planning to develop a sequel to Soul Hackers due to its distinct aesthetic among the other Megami Tensei titles, suggesting that "[I thought] it would be possible to make use of the technology, people, and occult elements of the first game, as well as the relationship between those elements, to create a new game with a modern feel". The game's music will be composed through an external collaboration with the production team Monaca, which previously supervised the creation of numerous anime and video game soundtracks. Japanese manga artist Shirow Miwa will serve as the game's primary character designer. Release Soul Hackers 2 is scheduled to be released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S in August 2022. It will launch in Japan on August 25, 2022, and overseas the following day in English and Japanese audios with English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional) subtitles. In Japan, the game's release will also be accompanied by a Soul Hackers 25th Anniversary Special Edition Box Set for the PlayStation versions of the game, featuring commemorative packaging, an art book featuring concept illustrations, setting art and various staff interviews, an arrangement album featuring modern compositions of songs from the original Soul Hackers, and a figurine of a Jack Frost variant called Ai-Ho kun, modeled after the game's main protagonist, Ringo. Ai-ho kun will also be available as a summonable demon in the game as downloadable content (DLC), accompanied by another DLC set featuring accessories that customize Ringo to resemble Mary, a supporting character in the original Soul Hackers. A first-print edition of the game available on launch day will be bundled with DLC costumes modeled after the main cast of Persona 5 (2016), in addition to accompanying music DLC that enables the option to play Persona 5's miniboss theme "Keeper of Lust" as the main battle track. The game will be published by Atlus themselves in Japan, and its Atlus West subsidary will release the game in North America. Meanwhile, parent company Sega will publish the game for European territories, as has been done with recent Megami Tensei titles.

Christopher John Pethick (born 22 February 1942 in Horsham, UK) is a British theoretical physicist, specializing in many-body theory, ultra-cold atomic gases, and the physics of neutron stars and stellar collapse. Education and career Pethick studied at the University of Oxford, where he received his BA in 1962 and his PhD in 1965. He was then a postdoc at Magdalen College, Oxford and at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he was an associate professor from 1970 to 1973, a full professor from 1973 to 1995, and an adjunct professor from 1995 to 1998. For two academic years from 1970 to 1972 he was a Sloan Research Fellow. In 1973 he also became a professor at Nordita and then for many years divided his time between Nordita and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaigne. He was director of Nordita from 1989 to 1994. He then worked, until his retirement, at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen (with which Nordita was closely associated before moving to Stockholm). He was for the academic year 1973–1974 a visiting researcher at Moscow's Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics and in 1995 a visiting scientist at the Institute for Nuclear Theory (INT), located in Seattle on the campus of the University of Washington. In 2008 he was awarded the Lars Onsager Prize for "fundamental applications of statistical physics to quantum fluids, including Fermi liquid theory and ground-state properties of dilute quantum gases, and for bringing a conceptual unity to these areas." (Gordon Baym and Tin-Lun Ho also won the Onsager Prize for 2008.) In 2011 Pethick received the Hans A. Bethe Prize for "fundamental contributions to the understanding of nuclear matter at very high densities, the structure of neutron stars, their cooling, and the related neutrino processes and astrophysical phenomena." In 2015 he was awarded the Feenberg Medal "for his pioneering contributions and profound insights into many-body physics across diverse physical systems, ranging from ultracold atoms and quantum liquids to dense nuclear matter in neutron stars and stellar collapse". In 2013 he was elected an honorary foreign members of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Petcock is since 1977 a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters and since 2003 a member of the Norwegian Academy of Language and Literature. In 1985 he was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society for "his extensive contributions to the theory of condensed matter systems, ranging from low temperature helium and superconductors to condensed astrophysical objects and nuclear matter.". In 2016 he was elected a member of the American Philosophical Society. Selected publications Articles Books with Gordon Baym: with H.

This is a list of cricketers who played for Suffolk cricket teams in first-class cricket matches. Suffolk teams played four matches which have been classified as first-class cricket during the 19th century. A total of 26 men played in the four matches for Suffolk, with just one, Fuller Pilch, playing in all four. All four of the matches which Suffolk played and which are considered first-class were played against MCC. The first pair of matches took place in 1830, the first in June at Lord's, followed by a re-match at Field Lane at Bury St Edmunds. These were followed by a second pair of first-class matches at the same venues in 1847. Suffolk sides had first played MCC in 1827 and matches had been played against Norfolk sides in 1829. Matches continued to be played against MCC throughout most of the 19th century, but other than the matches in 1830 and 1847 none of these matches have been awarded first-class status. Matches were also played against other teams with first-class status, including the All England Eleven and Cambridge Town Club, and from the 1870s against Essex County Cricket Club. A formal Suffolk County Cricket Club was established in 1864 and played in the Minor Counties Championship from 1904 until 1914. The club was reformed in 1932 and rejoined the Minor Counties Championship in 1934. The club played List A cricket in domestic competitions between 1966 and 2005.

Exploration is an album by trombonist and composer Grachan Moncur III. It was recorded in June 2004, and was released by Capri Records later that year. On the album, Moncur is joined by saxophonists Gary Bartz, Gary Smulyan, and Billy Harper, trumpeter Tim Hagans, trombonist Dave Woodley, horn player John Clark, bassist Ray Drummond, and drummer Andrew Cyrille. The music was arranged by Mark Masters. It was Moncur's first album after a lengthy hiatus, during which he wrote, taught, and dealt with dental issues. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "Dental problems resulted in Moncur only playing once in a great while in the 1990s. He had been in obscurity for quite awhile when he was contacted by arranger Mark Masters for the Exploration project. Fortunately Moncur's playing proved to still be in his prime. Masters wrote sympathetic charts for many of the trombonist's finest pieces, utilizing an all-star nonet that could really dig into the inside/outside music... This CD overall is very rewarding, a dream project for those who have long admired the underrated Grachan Moncur. The musicians have their solos, there are both written and improvised ensembles and Moncur plays wonderfully throughout. This set, which sums up Grachan Moncur's career definitively, is a gem." The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars, and stated: "This session... brings back into focus a major compositional figure... the emphasis as ever falls on the very fine writing and on a band of equally undersung players." Writing for All About Jazz, Clifford Allen commented: "Though Moncur's music gives itself well to loose improvisational settings, wherein the soloists and group are highly liberated, the cohesive and tightly arranged nature of these readings brings out their inherent logic and structure in addition to their springboard-like qualities. It is both a testament to the pieces themselves and the empathy of this group (many of whom had not played together prior to rehearsals) that Exploration is as seamless as it is." In a JazzTimes review, Harvey Siders remarked: "Moncur shows a youthful vigor in the title tune, exploring the tune's whole-tone structure with his velvety tone. 'Monk in Wonderland' captures Thelonious' staccato humor, providing Smulyan with his best solo moments. 'Love and Hate,' one of Moncur's darkest ballads, gives him a chance to show his highly personal side as soloist, and tenorist Harper matches the trombonist in introspection. 'New Africa,' a three-part suite, is also dominated by Moncur and Harper, but more interesting are the ensemble writing/playing and the strong walking by Drummond, free to roam in the pianoless environment. 'Excursion' is a nonstop free ensemble with more tonality than anarchy. Just about everyone solos in 'Frankenstein', with colorful statements coming from French hornist Clark." Peter Marsh, writing for the BBC, stated: "this is a fine record. Bristling with intelligence, good humour and swing, Moncur's music stands the test of time; something like 'Monk in Wonderland' should be a standard by now. Nice to see him back..."

Francesco I Ventimiglia (1285-2 January 1338) was an Italian nobleman and politician. He inherited the title of Count of Geraci. Biography The Ventimiglia of Sicily putatively derive from a noble Frank or Lombard family, descendants of Berengar II of Italy, and ruling the county in Ventimiglia (Liguria) until 1180 when a branch moved to Sicily. Francesco inherited the title of Count of Geraci from his father, Enrico II. In 1315, he wed Costanza Chiaramonte Mosca, daughter of Manfredi, count of Modica. However ten years later, he repudiated his wife as barren. He remarried with a noblewoman from the Antiochia family, counts of Capizzi. However, a feud with the Chiaramonte family would contribute to his ultimate downfall. Francesco served king Frederick III of Sicily as ambassador to the papal court in Avignon. He fought in Marseille for the Anjou forces. In 1318, he served in a mission to negotiate peace with James II of Aragon. In 1336–1337, he briefly served King Frederick as main Chamberlain or minister, but upon Frederick's death, Peter II of Aragon favored the Palizzi and Chiaramonte families. Francesco's son, called Franceschello, and his secretary, on a mission to the King's court in Palermo, were imprisoned and the secretary was tortured to confess that Francesco and Federico Antiochia were complicit in a plot against King Peter. The King and his allies forces, including the Chiaramonte, besieged the castle of Geraci, to which Ventimiglia had retired. The facts of his death are unclear, but legend holds he attempted to flee with his weapon and either fell down a cliff or was stabbed (or both) by Francesco di Valguernera, Lord of Godrano. His properties were confiscated but in 1354 returned to two of his children. Francesco was buried in the church of San Bartolomeo in Geraci Siculo.

Cave dwelling Jews (also cave Jews or troglodyte Jews, a calque from French "Juifs troglodytes") was Jewish communities who dwelled in caves dug in mountains. Best known communities of this type were found in the Gharyan Plateau ("Jebel Gharyan") area, Nafusa Mountains, Libya, therefore the term Gharyan Jews is commonly applied to them. These communities no longer exist today. History Jewish tribes living in underground caves were known for centuries in Morocco, Algeria and in Tripolitania. Their homes an synagogues were in caves, only cemeteries were on the surface. Jewish cave dwellers of Libya are known since at least before 70 C.E., when Romano-Jewish historian Josephus described the Troglodytis When Spain invaded Tripoli in 1510, many Jews flew from there to Gharyan (among other places), and these Jews brought with them Sephardic traditions. The information about the Ghayan Jews started appearing since mid-19th century. The main groups of Jewish cave-dwellers were in the settlements of Gharyan, Tigrena/Tigrinna, and Beni-Abbas. In 1906 archaeologist Nahum Slouschz visited the area and left a detailed account. After Libya gained independence, during 1949-1952 nearly all Jews, including Gharyan Jews, left Syria to make aliyah due to worsened conditions for the Jews, up to pogroms. At present, many cave dwellings are occupied by Libyans, who modernized the caves, including electricity, water supply and sewage disposal. There are a number of advantages in this type of dwellings. They also rent them out to tourists. Dwellings Nahum Slouschz left the following description: From time to time the keen eye discovers , amidst olive and fig trees , or near a mosque or ruins , holes open in the declivity of a hill , resembling in form the door of a cave . A little , wooden door opens before the traveler , and he enters into a kind of dark and uneven gallery , sloping all the way , to traverse which safely practice alone is essential . After a walk of fifteen to twenty metres , one descends into a kind of court , feebly lighted from above by some rays of light ; there is the stable , which precedes the central court , and which often serves as a workshop to the Jewish blacksmiths . Continually descending , a subterranean court is reached , which serves as a central dwelling , kitchen , and workshop , the compartments being in caves dug in the walls of the court , from which they receive a little light and air . The natives find subterranean life very natural and comfortable , though the traveler scarcely feels at ease . The Synagogue of the village Beni-Abbas is also situated in a cave , but the access is open and easy , and its roof is even above the level of the ground . At Tigrena a Synagogue has just been built entirely above the ground . See also Cave monastery References Further reading Maurice Roumani. "Gharian." Encyclopedia of Jews in the Islamic World.

Chechen Mujahideen in Syria () — members of illegal armed sunni Islamist jihadist formations motivated by Islamic ideology, organized into military jamaats and factions, take part in the civil war in Syria, fight against the legitimate government of Bashar al-Assad on the side of the Syrian opposition and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, led by Sunnis, as well as on the side of the terrorist group ISIS. History The first mention of armed groups of Chechen militants in Syria appeared in a number of media outlets at the end of 2011. In October 2012, some publications wrote that Chechens as part of the Syrian opposition forces of the FSA and Jabhat al-Nusra took part in an attack on the military base of the Syrian army air defense brigade near Aleppo. Chechen jihadists began arriving in Syria en masse mainly in 2011-2015 from Chechnya, as well as from Europe, where they left during the second Chechen War, fleeing from the war, as well as from the Pankisi Gorge of Georgia, where ethnic Chechens-Kistins who emigrated there during the Caucasian War live. Chechens occupied the second largest number among the foreign contingent of jihadists in Syria, estimates of their number range from 1,700 to 3,000 people, they played a significant role in the civil war in Syria, and several dozen well-known commanders of Syrian rebels and jihadists were Chechens by origin. Some of them were veterans of the first and second Chechen wars and used their combat experience to train and train the Syrian opposition and militants. They formed their own armed detachments and jamaats, which were also joined by other militants from the North Caucasus, as well as Syrians and jihadists from all over the Middle East. According to representatives of the Chechen diaspora in Europe, hundreds of Chechens from Europe went to Syria to fight in the ranks of the Syrian opposition against the government army of Bashar al-Assad. In June 2013, the leadership of the Chechen Republic officially recognized that up to 1,700 Chechen natives were howling in the Middle East region. In the same year, according to information disseminated by the militants' Internet resources, as well as in the Russian media, Rustam Gelaev, the son of the famous Chechen commander Ruslan (Khamzat) Gelaev, was killed in Syria. Rustam died fighting on the side of the Syrian opposition. Split Chechens mediated in the settlement of the conflict between Jabhat al-Nusra (now — Hayat Tahrir al-Sham) and the Syrian opposition, on the one hand, and with ISIS, on the other. In early November 2014, the leadership of "Jaish al-Muhajirin wal-Ansar", represented by Salahuddin Shishani, met with the leadership of ISIS in their capital Raqqa and held talks on reconciliation of the two warring parties. However, the conversation with the leadership of ISIS ended in vain. In response to the proposal of the emir of "Jaish al-Muhajirin wal-Ansar" Salahuddin Shishani to stop the war between Sunni Muslims, in particular with Islamic Jamaats such as Jabhat al-Nusra, Ahrar al-Sham and others, the leadership of ISIS refused and stated that it would not stop fighting these groups, because it considers the emirs of these factions Kafirs and Murtads. After that, the leader of "Jaish al-Muhajirin wal-Ansar", Salahuddin Shishani, left Raqqa and returned to Idlib This conflict was also reflected among the Chechen Mujahideen in Syria, in particular among the Chechen emirs, who had previously acted in alliance with each other. Some of them defected to the ISIS and took leadership positions, while some remained on the side of Jabhat al-Nusra and the Syrian opposition. The very history of the conflict between Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS (at that time, the Islamic State of Iraq) begins at the end of 2013, when units of the Islamic State of Iraq (ISI) invaded Syria from the territory of Iraq during the most active phase of the civil war, when various jihadist groups and the Syrian opposition began to consistently seize cities from the government army of Bashar al-Assad. Al-Qaeda in Syria (Jabhat al-Nusra) together with the Ahrar al-Sham group played a significant role in the capture of the city of Raqqa in eastern Syria in March 2013. However, after the capture of Raqqa, the head of the Syrian wing of Al-Qaeda expressed his loyalty to the main leader of Al-Qaeda, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and did not recognize the Islamic State of Iraq and Sham (Syria) proclaimed by the leadership of the ISI in the territory controlled by Jabhat al-Nusra. After that, in February 2014, a large-scale war for spheres of influence in Syria began between the groups Commanders Supporters of the «Sunni opposition of Syria» Abu Abdurrahman Shishani Abdul-Malik Shishani Abdul-Hakim Shishani Hamza Shishani Abu Al-Bara al-Kavkazi Muslim Abu Walid al Shishani Abu Turab Shishani Umar Shishani Tarkhan Gaziev Sayfullah Shishani Salahudin Shishani Hayrullah Shishani Sayful-Islam Shishani Naib Shishani Mohannad Shishani Muhammad Shishani Al Bara Shishani Al Bara Shishani Abu Bakr Shishani Halid Shishani Ali Shishani Abu Musa Shishani ISIS supporters Abu Omar al-Shishani Abu Sayfullah Shishani Abu Said Shishani Ahmad Shishani Abu Abdullah Shishani Al Bara Shishani Abu Ibrahim Shishani Abu Umar Grozny Musa Abu Yusuf Shishani Hayrullah Shishani Abdullah Shishani Abu Hafs Shishani Adam Shishani Abdul-Halim Shishani Hattab Shishani Abdullah Abu Muhammad Shishani Abdul-Vahhab Shishani Muhammad Shishani Abu Hisham Shishani Abu Anas Shishani Abu Shamil Shishani Jundullah Shishani Literature In English The Syrian Jihad : Al-Qaeda, the Islamic state and the evolution of an insurgency Michael Cecire.

Bhanumati Rao (born 1923 - died 12 February 2022) (sometimes spelled as Bhanumathi) was an Indian classical dancer, teacher, and stage actress. Specializing in two forms of Indian classical dance, Kathakali and Bharatanatyam, she was also a notable actress on stage in Malayalam-language theater. She later taught classical dance and music, and in 2019, was the subject of a documentary film about her life, made by director R.V. Ramani. Career Rao studied dance as a child, but left India for the United Kingdom at the age of 24 to study library science. While in the United Kingdom, she began her career as a professional dancer, becoming a member of a dance group headed by Indian classical dancer Ram Gopal. As a member of Ram Gopal's troupe, she toured India and Europe in the 1940s, performing Indian classical dance and helping to raise funds for the colonial war effort. Following her marriage to Krishna Rao, she lived in New York in the 1950s, where she continued to perform, especially for visiting Indian diplomats and politicians including India's first prime minister, Jawaharlal Nehru. She was instrumental in introducing Indian classical dance to international audiences, and often innovated with classical techniques, incorporating aspects of other Indian classical and folk dances into her performances. Rao returned to India after India attained Independence, and lived in New Delhi, where she established a dance school and taught two forms of Indian classical dance; Kathakali and Bharatanatyam. During this time, she also began performing in Malayalam-language theater, and often acted, directed and wrote scripts based on Malayalam literature and stories herself. She was a notable performer, and had transitioned into performing Hindi-language theater as well, memorizing her dialogues after having them written in her native Malayalam language. She was known in particular for her performance in vidhi vesham, or comic roles. Following this, she moved to Bengaluru, where she studied classical Indian Carnatic music. Although she stopped performing dance in the 1990s, she continued to practice dance through her life, into her 90s, and in 2016, a video of Rao dancing classical Bharatanatyam at the age of 92 went viral, leading to a revived interest in her career. Rao was active in social efforts to establish women's rights, and worked with the All India Women's Conference. In 2019, she was the subject of a documentary film, Oh That's Bhanu, about her life. It was made by filmmaker R.V. Ramani, and documented her career in dance as well as her later struggles with memory loss. The film later won the Bala Kailasam Memorial Award 2019, and was screened at the Mumbai Academy of the Moving Image festival in 2019. Personal life Rao was born in Kozhikode, Kerala in 1923. She met her husband, Krishna Rao, a lawyer, while on tour in the 1940s. They had two daughters, Tara Krishna Rao, and Maya Krishna Rao, who is also a dancer. For a period of ten years, in the 1990s, Rao retreated from public life and lived in an ashram (a Hindu spiritual hermitage) in Himachal Pradesh. She died on 12 February 2022 at the age of 98.

Pelé! is a 1994 association football video game developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Accolade for the Sega Genesis. The game received mixed reviews from critics, who commended the graphics and amount of options, but criticized the controls and difficulty. A sequel, Pelé II: World Tournament Soccer, was released later the same year. Gameplay Pelé! is a simulation of association football in which the player can control one of 40 international teams. Gameplay takes place from an isometric perspective, and during a match, the player controls the selected player's movement with the D-pad, while the button commands vary depending on whether the player is on offense, defense, or whether the ball is in the air. The usual rules of the sport apply, including fouls, corners, and offside. The player can change formations at any time, with Pelé himself appearing to give advice on what formation to use. The game features four modes of play. In "Exhibition", players can play a match against a computer-controlled or human opponent. The player can also play through a 16-game "Tournament" or a 40-game "Season". The "Practice" mode allows players to perfect on-field moves without having to engage in a match. Development and release In April 1993, Accolade announced that it had signed exclusive licensing agreements with St. Louis Blues right winger Brett Hull and former New York Cosmos forward Pelé to endorse and help design sports games for the SNES, Sega Genesis, and MS-DOS. Alan Price programmed the game, while Philip Bat Tse and Edgar Bridwell served as lead artists. The sound effects and music were respectively created by Paul Wilkinson and Marc Baril. As none of the teams featured in the game provided endorsement, generic names were given to the game's teams, and only the players' surnames are included. Pelé! was released in January 1994. Reception Pelé! received mixed reviews upon release. Electronic Gaming Monthly stated that the game offered everything expected from the sports genre, but warned that the mechanic of switching players during play was confusing. Athletic Supporter of GamePro appreciated the amount of options and deemed the graphics and audio to be above average (singling out the large player sprites and crowd noises respectively), but was frustrated by the penalty-filled gameplay. Deniz Ahmet felt that the focus on options came at the expense of the gameplay, which he said was marred by sluggish controls and lack of character between teams. Paul Glancey and Angus Swan of Mean Machines Sega condemned Pelé! as "an affront to the good name of soccer and the good name of Pelé"; while they acknowledged the large sprite size and fair amount of options, they derided the ropey controls and difficult goalkeepers, dismissed the music as "nauseating Hammond organ", and described the crowd sounds as "the spectators at a St Trinian's hockey match". Additionally, Swan considered the use of digitized video sequences to be "frankly irresponsible" due to the cartridge's size. Both Ahmet and the Mean Machines Sega reviewers noted the ball's habit of flickering during more frantic action.

Magnetic Field: The Marsden Poems is a 2020 collection of poems by the English poet Simon Armitage. Context Author Simon Armitage is an English poet, playwright and novelist. He was appointed as Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom in 2019. He is professor of poetry at the University of Leeds and became Oxford Professor of Poetry when he was elected to the four-year part-time appointment from 2015 to 2019. He was born and raised in Marsden, West Yorkshire, and still lives nearby. Motivation Armitage explains in the book's introduction that when he returned to Marsden with a geography degree, "I started looking out of [my bedroom] window again, and out of the large picture window in the living room with its wide-angle view of Marsden – and I was ready to write... the village became the drawing board or board game on which I could practise my poetics and play out my perspectives." He considers his motivations at that time, such as fabricating an identity, stating that whatever they were, they were "at a subconscious level". He notes that a different account would be needed to explain why he continued to write Marsden poems "on and off – for another three decades". He writes that he found he had been using Marsden to chart "the effects of the recession [from 2008], and the austerity that followed, and a growing sense of marginalisation in what was supposed to be an age of increased communication and connectedness." Book Publication history Magnetic Field: The Marsden Poems was published in hardback on 15 March 2020 by Faber and Faber in London. They brought out a paperback edition in 2021. Synopsis The book contains 50 poems about Armitage's home village of Marsden, written at different times throughout his career. The poems are arranged roughly chronologically, not by date of writing but by the date to which each poem applies, something Armitage states could not be precise, as some apply to a range of dates. The endpapers are maps of parts of Marsden at differing scales, keyed to the poems by page numbers in red attached to each poem's location, such as a house, a garden, a reservoir, or a railway bridge. Recordings A BBC producer invited Armitage to read some of the poems in situ in their exact Marsden locations. They made recordings including of "Emergency" in the boarded-up fire station; "Harmonium" in St Bartholomew's Church; "Leaves on the Line" at the railway station; and "On Marsden Moor" on the moor around the village. Reception The poet Jonathan Humble, in The Yorkshire Times, calls the book "a love letter to a muse that was there for the poet at the beginning and has continued to be a source of inspiration through to the present day." He notes that Armitage calls Marsden "genuinely unique … as a liminal, transcendent and transgressive location", and agrees it is an interesting place with a thriving cultural scene. He admires the book's production as "a lovely thing to behold", with its "handy maps", should the reader wish to walk what he predicts will become the "Armitage Trail", and the cover photograph of Marsden including the author's terrace house, and a shiny central band "illustrating (I believe) the magnetic attraction he feels towards the village." He writes that "The Marsden Poet" remains as Samuel Laycock, commemorated in stone in the village's park, noting that "this seems to rankle the Poet Laureate (and with some justification", as Laycock left Marsden when he was 11 years old. Humble concludes that Armitage "surely deserves some physical recognition in the village as, with understated skill and marvellous accessibility, [he] continues to put Marsden on the map." The critic and editor Kate Simpson, in Poetry School, describes Magnetic Field as "a complex and alluring interpretation of our connection to both interior and exterior spaces: the grass is near touchable; the evening breeze tangible; the 'horizon ablaze' ("Emergency"). The fields await our return." In her view, the Marsden poems "are like cardinal directions, pointing back to the landscape and inviting readers to gather in a geographical amphitheatre."

William Renwick ( – October 1814) was an English naval surgeon and author. Life William Renwick, born about 1740, a native of Berwick-on-Tweed, was in August 1760, being then (according to his own statement) nineteen, appointed surgeon's mate of a regiment at Plymouth, through the interest of General John Crawfurd. In that capacity he was abroad on active service, apparently at the reduction of Belleisle (7 June 1761); and after a two years' absence was invalided, having temporarily lost his eyesight. In June 1763, consequent on the peace, he was reduced, and seems to have unsuccessfully endeavoured to form a medical practice in Berwick. In the by-election of January 1765 he was of some use to Sir John Hussey Delaval, who promised him his interest; on the strength of which, and with no more tangible means of subsistence, he married, in June 1765, Abigail, daughter of Arthur Hindmarsh of Berwick. Poverty pursued him, and for seven years (1766–1773) he left his wife, endeavouring to gain a livelihood as "journeyman apothecary" in London, Wokingham, and elsewhere. When he rejoined his wife about 1774 his endeavour to establish a practice in Berwick met with small success; and in despair he published Misplaced Confidence, or Friendship Betrayed (3 vols. 12mo, 1777), in which he openly related the story of his sufferings, and attacked his former patron, Delaval. In October 1778, through the interest of the Earl of Lisburne, a Lord of the Admiralty, to whom he had been recommended, he was appointed surgeon of the Countess of Scarborough, which, on 23 September 1779, was captured off Flamborough Head by the squadron under John Paul Jones and taken to the Texel. He wrote a magniloquent description of the engagement in heroic verse. On being exchanged Renwick was appointed to the Marlborough, and, when she was ordered to the West Indies, to the Egmont, in which he was present at the relief of Gibraltar, and in the rencounter off Cape Spartel in October 1782. In February 1784 he was surgeon of the Thorn sloop, and afterwards of the Merlin on the Newfoundland Station, and of the Druid in the Channel and at Lisbon. In 1787 he was put on half-pay, and in 1788 published The Solicitudes of Absence (London, 1788, 12mo), mainly composed of correspondence from and to friends at home. From 1795 to December 1800 he was surgeon of the Vulture; and of the Portland till February 1802, when he was put on half-pay. On 20 June 1804 he was, to his disgust, superannuated "for various infirmities", on three shillings a day. He retired to Berwick, where he led a solitary and eccentric existence, until his death in October 1814, at the age of seventy-six; he was buried on 25 October. Works Besides several pamphlets on the state of the medical service of the navy, and the two works already mentioned, he wrote The Sorrows of Love, with other Poems (Alnwick, 1810, 12mo); The Unfortunate Lovers, or the genuine Distress of Damon and Celia (London, 1771, 2 vols. 12mo), and probably Damon and Delia, a Tale (London, 1784, 12mo). They are all largely autobiographical. References Bibliography External links Ockerbloom, John Mark (ed.). "Renwick, William, 1740?-1814". The Online Books Page.

"The knight who could make cunts speak" (French: "Le Chevalier qui fist parler les cons") is a French fabliau. Seven versions of it remain, including one in MS Harley 2253 (a manuscript ca. 1340 which also contains the Harley Lyrics). Summary The main character of the story is an impoverished vassal who lacks even a coat or a hat; he has pawned all his possessions, though he still has a squire, who gets the plot going when he steals the clothes of three maidens who were bathing. When the knight restores the clothing and the maidens dress themselves, they give him three gifts. The first gives him the power to entertain anyone and get paid for it. The second gives him the power to hear vaginas speak if he addresses them. The third adds to that power: if a vagina is prevented from speaking, the anus will respond for it. Editions There are seven manuscripts containing the fabliau, six French and one in Anglo-Norman (the latter in MS Harley 2253): A. Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, français, 837, f. 148va-149vb B. Bern, Burgerbibliothek, 354, f. 169ra-174rb C. Berlin, Staatsbibliothek und Preussischer Kulturbesitz, Hamilton 257, f. 7vb-10vb D. Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, français, 19152, f. 58ra-60rc E. Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, français, 1593, f. 211rb-215ra | ccviii-ccxii | 208rb-212ra I. Paris, Bibliothèque nationale de France, français, 25545, f. 77va-82vb M. London, British Library, Harley, 2253, f. 122vb-124va The author is named as simply "Garin", and it is recorded in the Nouveau Recueil Complet des Fabliaux that because this was such a common name, and there is nothing else to go on, this is insufficient to identify who that was. MS ABCDE are a single common version. MS I diverges from MS ABCDE in its description of the welcome of the knight to the castle, which it devotes an extra 50 lines to, the banquet, with a detailed description of the food, and the girl who is offered to the knight, Blancheflor. MS M, in contrast, cuts out all of the courtly allusions. The two suggested explanations of this are Rychner's that it was reproduced from memory, and John Hines's that allusion to French courtly literature was omitted for the benefit of an English audience. Joseph Bédier Bowdlerized the title, as he did others in his edition of the Fabliaux, to Du Chevalier qui fist parler les dames ("make the ladies talk"). Influences Denis Diderot's novel with talking vaginas, Les Bijoux Indiscrets, was inspired by this fabliau. Notes References Bibliography Fabliaux

Liu Dun ( 190s – 220s), courtesy name Ziren, was an official serving under the warlord Sun Quan during the late Eastern Han dynasty and early Three Kingdoms period of China. Life Liu Dun's ancestral home was Pingyuan (平原). During the chaos of the end of the Han dynasty, he fled to Luling (廬陵) where he was invited to the service of Sun Fu, cousin and general under Sun Quan. Liu Dun took a great interest in astrology and divination, and was renowned for his foresight, purportedly predicting floods, droughts and uprisings in the southern regions. Sun Fu was impressed by Liu Dun's predictions and appointed him as his Military Advisor (軍師 junshi), while among the army itself he became popularly known by the nickname Shenming (神明 "Divine Brilliance"). Liu Dun later served under Sun Quan directly. An anecdote from the Records of the Three Kingdoms describes a conversation between Liu Dun and Sun Quan in Yuzhang during the Jian'an era (196-220), in which Liu Dun apparently predicted the assassination of Sun Quan's younger brother Sun Yi, the Administrator of Danyang, by Bian Hong (邊鴻) in 203 based on astrological observations. Liu Dun was also the author of a now-lost tome in a hundred volumes, which was praised by the scholar Diao Xuan (刁玄). However, Liu Dun was also noted for being secretive of his arts and declining to share it with others, resulting in his work becoming increasingly difficult for subsequent generations to understand.

Lanthanum cuprate usually refers to the inorganic compound with the formula CuLa2O4. The name implies that the compound consists of a cuprate (CuOn]2n-) salt of lanthanum (La3+). In fact it is a highly covalent solid. It is prepared by high temperature reaction of lanthanum oxide and copper(II) oxide follow by annealing under oxygen. The material adopts a tetragonal structure related topotassium tetrafluoronickelate (K2NiF4), which is orthorhombic. Replacement of some lanthanum by barium gives the quaternary phase CuLa1.85Ba0.15O4, called lanthanum barium copper oxide. That doped material displays superconductivity at −243 K, which at the time of its discovery was a high temperature. This discovery initiated research on cuprate superconductors and was the basis of a Nobel Prize in Physics to Georg Bednorz and K. Alex Müller. References Inorganic compounds Chemical substances

Charles Edward Wooten (born 1950) is an American serial killer. Initially convicted and sentenced to life for two separate murders committed around Fort Worth, Texas in 1969, he was paroled in May 1992 thanks to campaigning from his father, Arlis, whom Wooten would kill during an argument in July 1993. Wooten was later convicted of this murder and given another life term. Murders First murders In April 1969, Wooten, then imprisoned on a 5-year prison sentence for armed robbery, was paroled after serving only 18 months. On September 1, he and an unnamed 16-year-old accomplice went to a gas station on the North Side of Fort Worth, where they abducted and later shot the 58-year-old attendant, Loyd Dewey Choat. A few days later, the man's body was found in a creekbed near Watauga. According to one sheriff's suspicions, the killer might have brought two teenage girls to view Choat's body, but the reason for this belief was never established. Later that month, police brought murder charges 18-year-old Stephen James Duffy and 21-year-old Henry W. Baldwin, as it was initially believed that they were the ones responsible for the killing. On November 6, the day of Wooten's bachelor party, he, along with his 18-year-old brother-in-law Michael Wayne Bush and 17-year-old Gerald Ross Weatherly, decided that they would rob a local gas station attendant working the night shift, a 26-year-old man by the name of David Daniels. The day after, the trio entered the gas station and robbed it, with Wooten stabbing Daniels 36 times before fleeing. Both Choat and Daniels' murders were initially thought to be unconnected, until shortly after Wooten's arrest on December 20, when he was caught after attempting to rob a grocery store where his father, Arlis "Edward" Wooten, worked as an assistant manager. By the end of the month, the underage accomplice implicated him in the Choat murder, which was quickly followed up by Bush and Weatherly, who in turn implicated him in the Daniels' killing. As a result, Wooten was held without bond on two counts of capital murder, with the charges levelled against Duffy and Baldwin being subsequently dropped. While awaiting trial, Wooten claimed that he had shot a young blond woman three times as she was exiting a bathroom, but claimed that he was unable to remember neither the date or location of where this supposed crime had occurred. The sheriff presiding over his detention, Lon Evans, nonetheless contacted sheriffs and police departments all around the area, none of which reported having a crime with such characteristics. As a result, this supposed "confession" of Wooten's was considered a hoax and ignored. On May 26, 1970, in the middle of his trial, Wooten pleaded guilty to both murders in a bid to avoid the death penalty, which had been sought by the district attorney. As a result, he was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive life terms, which were stacked with another life sentence amassed from his guilty plea to the grocery store robbery in December 1969. Patricide After Wooten's incarceration, his father conducted a series of highly publicized interviews with the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, in which he claimed that his son had told him that he had been "haunted [...] by dreams of murder and mayhem." Over the subsequent 23 years, the elder Wooten would repeatedly write letters to the parole board, begging them to consider him for parole. During his imprisonment, Wooten earned a master's degree in humanities and became a skilled leather worker, whose crafts were sold by the proprietor of a grocery store. He also steadfastly denied any guilt in the murders, claiming that he had been framed. In May 1992, Wooten was finally paroled and moved into his father's apartment in Azle. Shortly after his release, Wooten's father found him a job as a carpet cleaner and leather craftsman, and for some time, he appeared to be slowly rehabilitating. However, on July 29, 1993, Charles and Arlis got into an argument, resulting in the former shooting the latter in the head, before dismembering the body and driving to a field outside of town, where he set the remains on fire. The elder Wooten's disappearance was reported to police by one of his other sons a few days later, and after searching through the shrubbery, authorities located a set of four charred, scattered limbs which were tentatively identified as belonging to Arlis Wooten. A report later emerged that a youth who lived in the area had told his mother that he had seen a man putting what appeared to be a body in the back of his trunk, but this was dismissed by her at the time. Arrest, trial and imprisonment Charles was arrested as a suspect in the murder on August 3 and held on $100,000, together with two alleged accomplices, 41-year-old Titus Henry Hill and 24-year-old Michelle Ann Matl. When he was brought to the crime scene as part of a routine inspection, investigators reported that he had no visible emotion during the entirety of the procedure. At his murder trial in June 1995, prosecutors claimed that the reason for the murder was that Wooten wanted to collect his father's life insurance, but a lack of substantiable evidence could not prove this claim. Wooten himself would plead guilty to the crime in exchange for a life term with a possibility of parole after he has served 35 years of his sentence. This outcome came as a disappointment to some family members, who wished that he had been sentenced to death for their father's murder. As of February 2022, Wooten remains incarcerated at the J. Dale Wainwright Unit in Lovelady, with a projected parole date in 2028.

Polysulfobetaines are zwitterionic polymers that contain a positively charged quaternary ammonium and a negatively charged sulfonate group within one constitutional repeat unit. In recent years, polysulfobetaines have received increasing attention owing to their good biotolerance and ultralow-fouling behavior towards surfaces. These properties are mainly referred to a tightly bound hydration layer around each zwitterionic group, which effectively suppresses protein adsorption and thus, improves anti-fouling behavior. Therefore, polysulfobetaines have been typically employed as ultrafiltration membranes, blood-contacting devices, and drug delivery materials. The chemical structure of polysulfobetaines can be divided in several subgroups. Most widespread are amides of (meth)acrylic acid ('PSPP') or quaternary esters ('PSPE'). Also, compounds from poly(vinylpyridinium), poly(vinylimidazolium), or quaternary poly(pyrrolidinium) as well as zwitterionic ionenes, are often found. Synthesis Polysulfobetaines are generally synthesized via free radical polymerization. However, the synthesis of polysulfobetaines is often limited by their poor solubility in most solvents and at present, only few sulfobetaine monomers that are suited for free radical polymerization, are commercially available. The most popular ones are SPE and SPP, which provide a good combination of hydrophilicity and polymerizability. Solution behavior Almost all polysulfobetaines are insoluble in water at low temperatures, however many polysulfobetaines feature an upper critical solution temperature (UCST) in aqueous solution. This means they undergo a coil-to-globule collapse transition upon cooling. Such a behavior is highly unusual, since other zwitterionic polymers, e.g., poly(phosphatidylcholines) and poly(carboxybetaines) do generally not feature a responsive behavior towards a temperature stimulus. The reason for the UCST-type behavior of polysulfobetaines in solution is based on their electrically neutral behavior, i.e., the overall charge is zero, over a large pH range (approximately 2 – 14). Due to the neutralization of the charges, repulsive and attractive interactions are present between the individual polymer chains and inner salt are formed. The balance of this complex interplay of interactions between numerous charged groups with water and with themselves, strongly affects the solubility of polysulfobetaines in water and eventually, results in an UCST-type transition. The temperature of this phase transition, often called clearing point, is very sensitive to molar mass, polymer architecture, solvent isotopes, e.g., H2O/D2O, and especially to the addition of salts to the solution. The presence of salt additives in aqueous solution leads to an altered balance of the attractive and repulsive interactions and therefore, also to an altered solubility. Especially, the nature of the salt anion has a strong effect on the solubility of the polysulfobetaines. While chaotropic anions cause an improved dissolution (salting-in effect), kosmotropic anions result in precipitation of the polysulfobetaines (salting-out effect). Thin films from polysulfobetaines Thin films made from polysulfobetaines also feature a thermo-responsiveness, however, the phase transition is strongly shifted, which is mainly addressed to the increased polymer concentration and the altered polymer-polymer and polymer-water interactions. Furthermore, and analogously to aqueous solutions, different water isotopes (H2O/D2O) and salt additives were found to affect the phase transition as well. Interestingly, polysulfobetaine thin films feature a co-nonsolvency effect in mixed water/methanol vapors, which is not found in water/methanol solution. Apparently, polysulfobetaines feature a miscibility with lower alcohols at the substance-rich side of their phase diagrams. References
