Biography
Fred Rufus Angevine was born on February 14, 1889, in Missoula, Montana, then a part of the Territory of Montana, to Rufus William Angevine (1855–1946) and Ann Etta Jones (1860–1932). His parents were from the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, and married in Duluth, Minnesota, where his father was a police officer. The family migrated to Montana around 1886, when his father was a construction foreman for the Northern Pacific Railway. Known as R. W. Angevine, his father was the Missoula chief of police and two-term auditor of Missoula County, owned a grain and stock farm in nearby Clinton, and had further experience as a general contractor.
Angevine graduated from Missoula County High School in 1907. He studied law at the University of Washington, graduating with an LL.B. degree in 1912. In 1919, in Seattle, he married his first wife, Bernice Moderie, a fellow native Missoulan.
Angevine was elected county attorney for Missoula County in 1916. He was a member of the Democratic Party. He left office in 1918, being succeeded by deputy county attorney Dwight N. Mason, and was drafted into the United States Army during World War I, being commissioned as a second lieutenant in August 1918 at Camp Pike, North Little Rock, Arkansas. He was mustered out on December 4, 1918.
After his service in the Army, Angevine moved to Washington, D.C., where he was named assistant solicitor of the Bureau of Internal Revenue under presidents Woodrow Wilson and Warren G. Harding. He would later form the law firm Johnson & Shores in Washington, and a tax law practice in New York City. Angevine argued before the United States Supreme Court and U.S. Court of Appeals in tax and estate cases. He lectured at the Alexander Blewett III School of Law in Missoula while living in D.C.
In 1926, Angevine married Edna Tenhoopen (1896–1977). He married actress Antoinette Tucci (1919–2010) in 1945 in Mexico City, Mexico. With Tucci, he had one child, Cleo (1947–2016). Angevine returned to Montana sometime before his death in Helena on April 24, 1956.

76843276 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Wreck%20of%20the%20Dunbar | The Wreck of the Dunbar | The Wreck of the Dunbar is a 1887 Australian stage play based on the 1857 shipwreck of the Dunbar off Sydney. It was written and presented by Alfred Dampier. The play was performed by Dampier and his family.
Leslie Rees said " As the plot developed, it moved further and further from the terrible shipping disaster of 1857. The critics gave it a drubbing—“a shabby weary weeping little screed sadder than a midnight goat and filled with bile and ignominy”, wrote one. Not even driftwood was left of The Wreck of the Dunbar after its few performances."
The Sydney Morning Herald said "The plot is broadly sketched, with a free admixture of pathetic and ridiculous situations."
Other accounts were more favourable.

The Peruvian victory finally allowed the last Bolivian troops to be expelled from Peruvian territory.
Tribute
It is concluded that before the conflict situation between Chile and Peru occurred, to raise the patriotic spirit of the southern peoples who always fought for national integrity and sovereignty, the military historical documents were reviewed, finding the Orurillo Surprise and its consequences; Therefore, the Law of January 3, 1879, by President Mariano Ignacio Prado, is dictated and promulgated; which indicates: The town of Orurillo is elevated to the category of “VILLA”, in fair recognition of the valuable actions in defense of the Homeland; thanks to the brave intervention of the soldiers and children of that town, who risked their lives, to whose memories we pay a fair and reverent tribute

76843829 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mabel%20Burnside%20Myers | Mabel Burnside Myers | Mabel Burnside Myers (1922–1987) was a Diné weaver, herbalist and sheepherder. She is known for being the first Indigenous weaver to create dye charts for teaching students.
Life
Burnside Myers was born in 1922 in Pine Springs, Arizona into a family of weavers and silversmiths. She attended high school, graduating in 1938. At the Fort Wingate Vocational High School, she began to create a natural, plant-based dye book. She went on to become the head of the department of weaving at the Shiprock Vocational School, before reaching her 30th birthday.
Burnside Myers had five children; she taught all of them about identifying plants to make dyes. Her daughter, Isabel Deschinny, is a well-known textile artist.
Work
Burnside Myers is known for creating complex work, such as two-faced blankets with a different design on each side. She would raise her own sheep, would forage for over 300 different plants to use for making dyes, card the wool and spin the yarn, dye the yarn, then set up the loom and weave.
Like other Navajo weavers, she kept the complex patterns for her weavings in her memory, rather than referring to a written or drawn pattern.
Her work has been exhibited nationally, and has been in exhibitions at the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, and at the Arts & Crafts Guild, at Window Rock, Arizona.
Burnside Myers used vegetable dye materials in her work, and is considered the first Indigenous weaver to invent dye charts from plant matter as guides to teach others about sources of dyes for use in weaving. Later, her dye charts were produced to sell on the tourist market. Each of her dye charts included a miniature woven textile on a miniature vertical frame loom, surrounded by pressed botanical specimens of plants, with each specimen identified with the name of the plant. Pieces of dyed yarn served as "pointers" to the various colors in the miniature weaving. The dye charts served as an "index of place...an atlas–a mental map–of Navajo weaving worlds" that provided a critical "material record of indigenous ways of knowing the landscape and its natural colorants." Burnside Myers would travel extensively to exhibit her work teach others about weaving with plant-based dyes.
Burnside Myers and her family were featured in the 1958 documentary film, The Navajo (Part 1):"The Search for America", directed by Dick Hatzel. In the film she presented an award-winning rug made with yarn dyed with 85 different plant-based colors. She has also been the subject of a film by Frank Cummings and Eileen Green. Burnside Myers and Green, an anthropologist, collaborated on a dye-recipe book.
Awards and honors
Burnside Myers won first place in the Navajo Tribal Fair in 1937. In 1939, she was invited to participate in the San Francisco Worlds Fair.

76843830 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeroflot%20Flight%202420 | Aeroflot Flight 2420 | Aeroflot Flight 2420 was a passenger flight from Leningrad-Shosseynaya Airport to Sheremetyevo International Airport that, on April 23, 1973, was hijacked by a passenger demanding to go to Stockholm. The crew returned to Leningrad but the hijacker detonated the bomb, killing himself and the mechanic, who had went out to negotiate with the hijacker.
Aircraft
The accident aircraft was a Tupolev Tu-104B manufactured in 1960 in Kazan Aviation Factory No.22 (registration СССР-42505; factory number 021903). Two Mikulin AM-3M-500 engines powered the plane. By the time of the accident, it had logged 17,095 flight hours and 10,698 pressurisation cycles.
Hijacking
The crew members consisted of: V. M. Yanchenko (pilot-in-command), V. M. Krivulin (co-pilot), N. F. Shirokov (navigator), V. G. Gryaznov (flight mechanic), L. Eremin; M. Khokhreva (flight attendants).
The aircraft took off at 14:25 with 50 adults and one child on board. The crew reported an altitude of at 14:38. Shortly afterwards, a passenger gave a flight attendant a letter and requested that it be handed over to the crew. Pilot-in-command (PIC) Yanchenko ordered the flight mechanic, Gryaznov, to leave the cockpit.
The text of the letter read:Five minutes to read! To the commander and the crew of the aircraft: Dear pilots! I ask you to direct the plane to Sweden, Stockholm Airport. A correct understanding of my request will save your life and mine, and those, through their atrocities, forced me to do this act will be held accountable for this. After a safe landing, I may return to my homeland after a personal conversation with representatives of the highest authorities of the USSR. You see a weapon in my hands. This contains 2 kg 100 g of explosives used in mines, so you don't need to explain what this charge means. Therefore, do not circumvent my request with provocation. Remember that any risk will result in a plane crash. Convince yourself firmly for this, because everything has been calculated and taken into account.The hijacker, a previously convicted 47-year-old man from the Ukrainian SSR named Ivan Bidyuk, carried a pistol and a hand grenade. Yanchenko had a pistol for last resort but could not shoot Bidyuk as he had a bomb. He was also ordered to "take all measures to prevent the hijacking". While the crew were discussing the situation in the flight deck, the hijacker entered with a bomb in his hands. The pilots turned on the "distress" signal and contacted air traffic control. Earlier, the navigator and flight mechanic went out to neutralise the criminal; but later the navigator returned. Gryaznov, the flight mechanic, stayed outside to convince Bidyuk of his actions.
The plane could not land at Helsinki due to the low fuel remaining. The hijacker demanded that the plane fly to Stockholm, but the PIC did not receive permission from Leningrad ATC to fly to Sweden. PIC Yanchenko decided to land at Leningrad. At an altitude of , the landing gears were lowered, but the hijacker realised Flight 2420 was landing at Leningrad and detonated the explosives. The aircraft landed 30 seconds after the explosion. The nose gear collapsed and the Tu-104 slid before stopping. The explosion killed Gryaznov and the hijacker.
Aftermath
The crew members were awarded the following awards for their action during the hijacking:
Pilot-in-command V. M. Yanchenko — Order of Lenin and Gold Star of the Hero of the Soviet Union
Flight mechanic V. G. Gryaznov — Hero of the Soviet Union (posthumously)
Co-pilot V. M. Krivulin — Order of the Red Banner
Navigator N. F. Shirokov — Order of the Red Banner
Flight attendants L. Eremina and M. Khokhreva — Order of the Red Star
A public garden in is named after Gryaznov.

76844142 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tat%20alphabet | Tat alphabet | The Tat alphabet is used for writing in the Tat language, which has two main dialects - the northern one, spoken by Mountain Jews, and the southern one,
spoken by the Tats. During its existence, the Tat writing functioned primarily in the northern dialect and at the same time changed its graphic basis several times and was reformed several times. Currently, the writing of the Mountain Jews is in Cyrillic alphabets, and the writing of the Muslim Tats is in the Latin alphabet.
There are four stages in the history of Tat writing:
1870s - 1928 - writing based on Hebrew alphabet.
1928-1938 - writing based on the Latin alphabet.
Since 1938 - writing based on the Cyrillic alphabet.
Since the beginning of the 1990s, there have been attempts to create a written language on a Latin basis in Azerbaijan.
Hebrew alphabet
.
The first records of Judeo-Tat writing date back to the late 1870s and early 1880s, when Rabbi
Yaakov Yitzhaki compiled the first Tat book, “Thesaurus of Judeo-Tat (Juhuri) language of the
Mountain Jews of the Caucasus.” This book used Hebrew writing, adapted to the needs of Tat phonetics. At the beginning of the 20th century, the Tat script on a Jewish graphic basis became more widely used - books began to be published in it, and in 1915 an attempt was made to publish a newspaper. In 1921, the first primer New School () was published in this alphabet. In 1927, at the All-Union Conference on cultural work among the Mountain Jews, held in Moscow, it was decided to reflect in writing all the vowel sounds of the Judeo-Tat dialect (א [æ], אַ [a], אָ [о], י [i], ו [v], וּ [u]). However, at that time the process of transitioning the Tat language to the Latin script was beginning, which made the reform irrelevant.
The Judeo-Tat alphabet based on the Hebrew script looked like this:
Soviet Latin alphabet
In the 1920s, the process of romanization of scripts was underway in the USSR. In May 1925, Y. Agarunov compiled the first draft of a Latinized alphabet for Mountain Jews. On May 15–20, 1926, at the regional congress of Mountain Jews in Nalchik, it was decided to transfer the Tat writing system to a Latin graphic basis. Since that time, preparatory work on Latinization began in the North Caucasus and Azerbaijan. In 1928, several projects for a new script were submitted to the committee for a new alphabet for consideration. Thus, the project of Z. Yu. Khudainatov included the following letters: А a, B в, V v, G g, D d, H h, Z z, Ӡ ӡ, ħ, I i, J j, K k, X x, L ʟ, M m, N n, S s, Y y, P p, F f, C c, Ç ç, ꜧ, R r, Ş ş, T t, O o, U u, Ú ú, E e.
On April 28–30, 1929, the All-Union Conference of representatives of the Mountain Jewish people were held in Baku. It finally approved the new alphabet for the Judeo-Tat language proposed by Boris Miller. It looked like this:
This alphabet was actively used in the field of education, book publishing and the media. In
1932, the first standard grammar of the Tat language was published.
In later editions in Latin, the letter Đ đ is absent, but is present (only in borrowings) E e
Cyrillic alphabets
The question of the transition of the Judeo-Tat language to the Cyrillic alphabet was raised in 1937. The Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic instructed the Institute for the Study of National Cultures of Dagestan to develop this version of the letter. A new version of the alphabet was published on February 15, 1938, in the newspaper Dagestankaya Pravda; on July 1, all periodicals were translated into it, and on September 1, teaching the Cyrillic alphabet began in schools. Later, some changes were made to the alphabet (the letter Дж дж was excluded. The letter УӀ уӀ was replaced by Уь уь, and ХӀ хӀ by Хь хь). As a result, the alphabet began to look like this:
In the Azerbaijan SSR in 1938, the Judeo-Tat language was removed from all official spheres of activity - the publication of books, newspapers, and teaching in schools was stopped.
Therefore, the alphabet adopted in the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was not used in Azerbaijan. However, instead of it, a separate version of the Tat Cyrillic writing spontaneously arose, which was closer to the Cyrillic version of the Azerbaijani alphabet. At the
end of the 20th - beginning of the 21st century, it also found some use among the Mountain Jewish who emigrated to Israel А а, Б б, В в, Г г, Д д, Е е, Ҹ ҹ, З з, И и, Й й, К к, Ҝ ҝ, Л л, М м, Н н, О о, П п, Р р, С с, Т т, Һ һ, Ћ ћ, Ԧ ԧ, У у, Ф ф, Х х, Ч ч, Ш ш, Ә ә, Ү ү. There are other versions of this alphabet, differing in the order of the letters and the replacement of the letter И й with Ј ј, as well as the presence of additional letters ӱ, ы.
Modern Latin alphabet in Azerbaijan
In the 1990s, an alphabet based on Latin was created for the Muslim Tats of Azerbaijan. Several

76844366 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John%20Philip%20Bessor | John Philip Bessor | John Philip Bessor (January 15, 1914February 2, 1989) was a prolific correspondent and author for Fate Magazine. He is remembered for his space animal hypothesis, first put forward in 1947, that "flying saucers" might be biological animals rather than technological spacecraft.
Early life and career
Bessor was born in Zelienople, Pennsylvania to George W. and Martha Blymer Bessor. In 1932, he graduated from Zelienople High School, having served as Art Editor for the yearbook and performed in chorus, operas, and plays. He attended the Edinoboro State Teachers College, majoring in art instruction, and he took a course sculpture and design at the Carnegie Institute.
Bessor's obituary listed him as working for the Walt Disney Studio as an illustrator before being employed by Lockheed and Aetna-Standard Engineering in Ellwood City.
Writings
In 1949, Bessor wrote a letter that was published in the Saturday Evening Post; Bessor speculated "flying saucers" were actually space animals "more like octopuses, in mentality, than humans". In July 1949, Bessor authored a letter to the Air Force's Project Saucer. In September, a letter he wrote about Chimney Rock and Brown Mountain lights was published in the Asheville, North Carolina papers.
In January 1950, Fate magazine published Bessor's piece on Harry Price and the investigation of the Borley Rectory haunting. In June 1950, he promoted his theory that flying saucers are animals. In March 1951, Fate featured "Mystery of Brown Mountain", his piece on his North Carolina investigation. A letter from Bessor on flying saucers was published in Fate in May 1951. In September 1951, an article about "Psychic Healing" by Bessor was published in the "Psychic Observer".
The April 28, 1952 edition of Life Magazine published a letter from Bessor in response to the article "Have We Visitors from Space?. Wrote Bessor: "For five years I have held the theory that these aerial objects represent a highly attenuated form of intelligent ‘animal’ life of extra-terrestrial origin—possibly stratospheric or ionospheric; propulsion apparently akin to teleportation, possibly flight by sheer will or thought. The frequent undulating motion in flight is analogous to the weaving trajectory of observed poltergeist-projected objects. Strange, luminous creatures inhabit the depths of our seas, why not similar creatures of highly rarefied matter in the heights of our heavens, and as diverse in size and shape as living things on earth?"
The March 1953 issue of Fate saw two pieces by Bessor: "The Battle of the Clouds" about an 1874 aerial anomaly over Saw Mill Run, Pennsylvania and "Restless Spirits." In June, a letter to the Editor was published in which Bessor urged journalists to continue investigating flying saucer reports. In August of that year, Fate magazine published “Mysterious Lights of Australia” and a letter about flying saucers. In 1953-54, letters by Bessor published in Miami Herald, The Pittsburgh Press and the Washington Daily News in which he accused a faction of the Air Force of covering up the truth about flying saucers. In July 1955, Fate published “A Dead Man Returned to Life”, and in August, Saucer News published Bessor's article on UFOs and levitation.In December, Fate published the Bessor article "Are the Saucers Space Animals?" The following March the magazine printed another letter by Bessor.
In 1955, Bessor was quoted as saying "although an avid researcher since June 1947, I have not been able to uncover a single shred of proof spacemen have conversed with humans." In 1956, press covered his interesting in ghosts. In 1957, a letter by Bossor promoting flying saucers was published in the Chicago Tribune
In 1967, the twentieth anniversary of the modern flying saucer era, Bessor and his hypothesis were featured in Mysterious Fires and Lights by Vincent Gaddis and What We Really Know About Flying Saucers by Otto Binder. That year, his biological hypothesis of flying saucers was widely covered in national media. In November 1967, Fate published another article by Bessor on his hypothesis, this piece titled: “UFOs, Animal or Mineral?
In 1970, he reported a UFO over Gulfport, Mississippi. In
1971, he authored a letter complaining about light pollution. In 1978, he authored a piece arguing Hiroshima was worse the Pearl Harbor. In 1986, he authored a letter on electronic voice phenomenon.
Influence and legacy
Bessor is primarily remembered as the originator of his biological hypothesis of UFOs. Bessor was cited as an influence in the writings of Morris K. Jessup, who similarly entertained the hypothesis that UFO reports might represent a newly-discovered biological species rather than technological spacecraft. Bessor's writings influenced Trevor James Constable, who expounded the theory that flying saucers were organic life forms in his 1958 book "They Live in the Sky". Constable described Bessor as the "grand-daddy" of the "space critter" hypothesis. In 1967, the same year Bessor and Constable's theories were discussed nation-wide, Ivan T. Sanderson authored Uninvited Visitors: A Biologist Looks at UFOs, which made a similar argument. It has been argued that Bessor's writings may have indirectly inspired the 2022 Jordan Peele film Nope.

Taxonomy
The species was first described in 2020 in a study revising coelomycete classification based on morphology and phylogeny.
Description
The sexual morph of N. annellidica is undetermined.
The asexual morph features conidiomata, the fruiting structures of coelomycetes. The conidiomata are black when dry, dark brown when moist, and feature a white conidial mass surrounding the ostiole. The primary identifying feature of N. annellidica are pycnidial ("flask-like") conidiomata. The setae are pale brown to black, unbranched, and septate.
PDA cultures range from white to pale gray with white, undulate margins, with a dark brown center and white margins on the reverse side.
Distribution
N. annellidica has been described in Thailand, Vietnam and Spain.
Etymology
It is sometimes referred to as an "Annelidica" due to its annellidic conidiogenous cells, which are a type of blastic condidiogenesis cells in mycology.

76844923 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American%20Cash%20Apartments-American%20Cash%20Store | American Cash Apartments-American Cash Store | The American Cash Apartments/American Cash Store located in Sacramento, California is a historic apartment building designed in the Commercial Style architecture style, located two blocks northwest of the California State Capitol building. Designed by George C. Sellon, the first state architect of California who designed many notable buildings during the first half of the 20th century.
History
After its completion, the second and third floors had a total of twenty-four apartments. Orlando F. Washburn had hired Sellon to design the building that would house his retail operation, American Cash Store, which had outgrown its original location at the corner of Eighth and K Streets. After moving into the new location, The American Cash Store had 67 employees and 17 delivery wagons, and its departments included grocery, delicatessen, bakery, and hardware. The business suffered an interior fire in the early morning hours of November 7, 1909, not long after the building was completed, and the American Cash Store had to temporarily relocate. The fire started in the basement, and caused $65,000 worth of damage. The building was quickly repaired and opened back in February 1910. The American Cash Apartments appealed to middle class renters and some legislators kept apartments in the building, including Secretary of the Senate Walter N. Parrish of Stockton and Senator Henry H. Lyon in 1911, and William J. Ferguson of San Francisco in 1921.
In the 1920s, the American Cash Store was affiliated with a meat dealers’ union that actively worked to suppress Asian-owned markets and fuel anti-Japanese sentiment, and advertised itself as a butcher shop run by American citizens, despite its proximity to Sacramento's West End Japantown. The American Cash Store had closed by the end of the 1920s and subsequent stores include a butcher shop ran by W.J. Atkinson, a grocery store ran by H. King, and Muzio French & Italian Bakery occupied the third storefront. During the 1930s a hat cleaner and a business called “Sanitarium System of Baths” moved into the building. The corner at 1117 8th St. had housed restaurants and bars since the early 1930s, starting with a Chinese American restaurant called Dragon Café. Subsequently, the corner unit was home to a sandwich shop and bar called Prosperity Corner, which featured live music and strip-tease acts.
In 1937, the building's name was changed to the Bel-Vue Apartments. Around this time, the Spillman-Callister Real Estate Company acquired the building and perhaps changed the name to signal new ownership. The Spillman-Callister Company invested in upgrades, such as Steam heat and refrigeration and advertised them heavily.

76845265 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trish%20Beckman | Trish Beckman | Patricia L. "Trish" Beckman is an American retired naval pilot, one of only five since World War II to be selected as a Naval Flight Officer.
Early life
Patricia L. "Trish" Beckman was born in Huntsville, Alabama, to William and Betty Beckman, and was the oldest of seven children; Beckman's father was a Korean War veteran in the Army. She was raised in Alabama until she graduated from Lee High School in 1970. Her early interest in aviation was partially because the Saturn V rocket was partly built in Huntsville during the space race with the Soviet Union. After graduating high school, Beckman enlisted in the United States Navy.
Military career
Early enlistment
Beckman enlisted in the US Navy in 1970 during the Vietnam War era. During her first eight years of enlistment, she maintained and operated flight simulators and gained higher education while serving under the Naval Enlisted Scientific Education Program. She earned a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from 1974 to 1978 at North Carolina State University and a master's degree in aeronautical engineering in 1988 from the Naval Postgraduate School. She was involved in NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) from 1978 to 1981 as a fleet support and liaison officer in Dahlgren, Virginia.
Pilot
In 1980, Beckman became one of only five women since World War II to be selected as a Naval Flight Officer, and in 1982 earned her wings as a pilot. She is a part of the first batch of women to graduate from the US Naval Test Pilot School and later became an instructor at the academy. She is the first-ever American woman to qualify to crew the F-15E and its variants and the first to qualify to crew the F/A-18 and its variants. In her military career, Beckman piloted 67 different types of aircraft and in 1999 retired as a commander, serving 28 years.
Her service in the Navy during the Vietnam War and the complex public perceptions of veterans who served during that period of US history have stuck with Beckman during her career and retirement. Beckman believes that veterans are treated with more respect now than some of her fellow veterans received when returning from the war.
In 1991, Beckman participated in an effort to lobby the US Congress in favor of repealing exclusionary laws that prevented women from partaking in combat roles in the military. She is credited as being a part of that successful effort.
Time at Boeing
After she retired from the Navy in 1999, Beckman continued her education by earning a second master's degree in business administration at Webster University in 2002. That same year she became certified by the Federal Aviation Administration as a flight navigator and aircraft dispatcher.
Beckman was then employed by Boeing as a test pilot for their civilian aircraft program and flew as a Systems Operator for production and engineering test flights for the Boeing 737. She also functioned as a Flight Test Navigator for ferry flights and engineered test flights for most Boeing aircraft (737, 747, 757, 767, 777, 787), clocking in over 6000 hours of flight time for 73 different types of aircraft.
In 2013 she became a contributor to support Boeing Test & Evaluation at Edwards Air Force Base for military aircraft.
Impact
Beckman has contributed to and founded various organizations whose mission is to celebrate, educate, and empower women in the aviation industry. She was the president of Women Military Aviators Inc. (WMA), a founding board member of Women in Aviation International (WAI), and inducted into the Pioneer Hall of Fame in 2010.
Beckman now resides in Seattle, Washington. She uses her life story to inspire and motivate young people to pursue a career in STEM and aviation. Trish is a workshop presenter for the Sally Ride Science Festivals in various places around the US and a contributor to several aerospace museums.

76845280 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS%20Stonehenge%20%281919%29 | HMS Stonehenge (1919) | HMS Stonehenge was an Admiralty destroyer that served with the Royal Navy during the twentieth century. The S class was a development of the created during the First World War as a cheaper alternative to the . Launched after Armistice that ended the war, the ship was commissioned in 1919 and joined the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla. The vessel supported the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War and then British forces assisting the partition of the Ottoman Empire, being based at Constantinople in 1920. In that year, the destroyer ran aground off the coast of Smyrna while on a routine mission. Despite attempts by sister ship to refloat the stricken vessel, Stonehenge had to be abandoned, although no one died in the accident. The remains were sold in 1921.
Design and development
Stonehenge was one of 33 Admiralty destroyers ordered by the British Admiralty on 7 April 1917 during the First World War as part of the Eleventh War Construction Programme. The design was a development of the introduced at the same time as, and as a cheaper and faster alternative to, the . Differences with the R class were minor, such as having the searchlight moved aft and being designed to mount an additional pair of torpedo tubes.
The destroyer had a overall length of and a length of between perpendiculars. Beam was and mean draught . Displacement was normal and deep load. Three Yarrow boilers fed steam to two sets of Parsons geared steam turbines rated at and driving two shafts, giving a design speed of at normal loading and at deep load. Two funnels were fitted. A full load of of fuel oil was carried, which gave a design range of at . The ship had a complement of 90 officers and ratings.
Armament consisted of three QF Mk IV guns on the ship's centreline. One was mounted raised on the forecastle, one on a platform between the funnels, and one aft. The destroyer mounted a single 2-pounder "pom-pom" anti-aircraft gun for air defence. Four torpedo tubes were carried in two twin rotating mounts aft. Four depth charge chutes were also fitted aft. Initially, typically ten depth charges were carried. The ship was designed to mount two additional torpedo tubes either side of the superstructure but this required the forecastle plating to be cut away, causing excess water to come aboard at sea, so they were not carried. The weight saved enabled the heavier Mark V 21-inch torpedo to be carried. Fire control included a training-only director, single Dumaresq and a Vickers range clock.
Construction and career
Laid down by Palmers at their dockyard in Jarrow, Stonehenge, the first Royal Navy ship to be given the name, was launched on 19 March 1919 after the Armistice of 11 November 1918 that ended the war. The vessel was commissioned on 14 August 1919, joining the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla as a tender to the depot ship . The ship was transferred to Chatham to replace the R-class destroyer and was completed to full crew on 11 October. The vessel briefly served in the British campaign in the Baltic as part of the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War, but returned to Chatham on 1 April 1920.
On 20 August 1920, the Treaty of Sèvres was signed between the Ottoman Empire and the Allies agreeing the partition of the Ottoman Empire. However, to enforce the terms required military intervention in the region. The Royal Navy had been in military occupation of Constantinople since 16 March. Stonehenge was detached from the Fourth Destroyer Flotilla and joined the deployment, serving in the Mediterranean Sea. On 31 October, the destroyer sailed from Constantinople to Mudros on a routine mission, to collect mail and ratings. However, off the coast of Smyrna, the vessel encountered very strong rain that reduced visibility and ran aground. The crew fired rockets to attract attention and were rescued by sister ship , which also attempted to refloat the destroyer. This was unsuccessful and Stonehenge was abandoned on 6 November. The wreck was sold on 26 March 1921.

76845515 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%20Music%20Cultures%20Center%20%28Moscow%20Conservatory%29 | World Music Cultures Center (Moscow Conservatory) | World Music Cultures Center is a scientific and creative center at the Moscow State Conservatory, which conducts scientific, informational, organizational, concert, festival and educational activities. The scientific and creative center organizes festivals and conducts master classes with famous performers of traditional music from around the world.
History
The “World Music Cultures” structure at the Moscow Conservatory was founded in September 1976 by composer Jivani Mikhailov. Personal connections and acquaintance of the composer with musicians of traditional cultures of Africa, Asia and America had already played a significant role by the time of the creation of “World Music Cultures”. A look at various cultures from the inside and the composer’s direct, in-depth acquaintance with them allowed him to study the deeper layers of traditional cultures and begin to introduce them to the Moscow audience, gradually expanding it.
In the early 1970s. J. Mikhailov’s concept “of the multiplicity and dissimilarity of sound systems” was not taken seriously by many; Soviet musicology had basically only a Eurocentric orientation, trying to embrace all the musical cultures of the world precisely from these ideological positions.
At first, this structure functioned in the form of a training course, then a system of courses “Music cultures of Asia, Africa, America, Australia and Oceania”. At the same time, the Department of the History of Foreign Music established an educational and support structure in the form of the “Sector of World Music Cultures” (1980–1984), and later the Cabinet with the same name (since 1984). At various times, the office operated under the Department of Musical Cultures of the World (1990–1995), then became an independent structure (1995–2003), and in 2003 it was included in the Office for Coordination of International Activities Programs (since 2015 - Office of International cooperation) as the Department-Center “Musical Cultures of the World”. In 2010, the department-center received its current name: the Scientific and Creative Center “World Music Cultures”
Activities of the center
Today, the scientific and creative center operates under the Department of International Cooperation of the Moscow Conservatory and plays an important role in the creation and implementation of various international cultural and musical projects. The center operates the “Russian-Japanese Center for Musical Culture”, as well as a number of creative groups: the Iranian music group “Caravan”, the Chinese music ensemble “Dragon and Phoenix”, the Japanese music ensemble “Wa-On”.
Over the course of many years of cultural activity of the center, a unique fund of materials was accumulated, along with it a special library, a music library and a video library were created. The center organizes numerous concerts, creative meetings, lectures by famous performers of traditional musical cultures, as well as other scientific and educational events, theatrical projects (“The Legend of the Flower of Style”, Opera “O-Natsu”, weeks of Iranian theater in Moscow), and also annually conducts large-scale international creative projects, such as the “Universe of Sound”, “Soul of Japan”, “Descendants of Arctida”, “Gathering Friends” festivals, etc.
The center conducts educational activities at the Moscow Conservatory, an important place in this activity is given to lecture courses for undergraduate and graduate students, in addition to this, diploma and dissertation research is conducted. Along with this, there are classes in traditional Japanese, Chinese, Indian and Iranian music.
Since 1999, the international festival “Soul of Japan” has been held annually from September to December; since 2003, from May to June, “The Universe of Sound”; since 2007, in August, “Gathering Friends”.
In the context of the epidemiological situation with COVID-19 and the closure of concert halls and other venues in Moscow and other Russian cities, the center implemented a number of creative projects online (“Moscow - a crossroads of cultures”, etc.).
The center’s festivals take place not only in Moscow and Russian cities, but sometimes also include concert venues in Japan, China, Colombia and other countries near and far abroad.
The center employs such musicians as Atish Mukhopadhyay (India), Hossein Nursharg (Iran) and others.
Today, the head of the center is Margarita Ivanovna Karatygina.
Conceptual basis of the center
The center's methodology was developed by its founder, Jivani Mikhailov. Its peculiarity lies in the fact that all layers of musical culture (academic, traditional, popular music) are recognized as equally important and they are studied in depth in the context of interaction. At the heart of the methodology, one of the key places is occupied by the regional civilizational approach, on the basis of which nine regional civilizations are identified on the “musical map of the world”, each of which is studied by comparison with each other: Europe, the Near and Middle East, Tropical Africa, South Asia, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Far East, Australia and Oceania, America.

76845533 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Court-Martial%20of%20Appeal%20%28Sweden%29 | Court-Martial of Appeal (Sweden) | The Court-Martial of Appeal () was a Swedish court. It was the appellate court among military courts and heard cases appealed from regimental courts-martial. The establishment of Sweden's first military appellate court, the Colonel's War Court, occurred through Gustavus Adolphus' Articles of War in 1621. Later, during Queen Christina's reign, this court became a division of the War College. In 1791, the Court-Martial of Appeal was created, initially consisting of at least 7 members, including military officers and a justiciar. Dissolved briefly, it was revived in 1797 and designated as the appellate court during peacetime. Over time, its composition and role evolved, eventually becoming a division of the Svea Court of Appeal in 1916. Finally, with the Military Court Proceedings Act of 1948, military cases in peacetime transitioned to ordinary courts, leading to the abolition of the Court-Martial of Appeal in 1949.
History
Through Gustavus Adolphus' Articles of War of 15 July 1621, a field court-martial, called the Colonel's War Court (Överste Krigsrätt i Fält), was established, which can be regarded as Sweden's first proper military appellate court. This court, which, like the Svea Court of Appeal established in 1614, judged the King's verdicts, had the Lord High Constable as its president and a number of senior military officers as its members. During Queen Christina's reign, the War Court became a division of the War College with the College President, the Lord High Constable, as president, along with 6 military officers and the same number of collegiate assessors as assistants. However, in 1683, by Charles XI, two military appellate courts were established, namely a General War Court (General-Krigsrätt) for the army and an Admiralty Court (Amiralitets-Rätt) for the navy. These courts consisted exclusively of military members.
In 1774, the cases of the General War Court were once again transferred to the War College, where they were handled for 17 years. Then, on 14 March 1791, King in Council's proclamation "regarding a single and general appellate court in Stockholm for the entire King in Council's Armed Forces on land and at sea in Sweden and Finland" came. The new appellate court was called the Court-Martial of Appeal (Krigshovrätt)) in the proclamation, a designation encountered here for the first time. On the same day, it received a special procedural order. The King in Council's Court-Martial of Appeal would consist of at least 7 members, including the president, of which 6 would be military officers and one would be a justiciar.
The Court-Martial of Appeal was dissolved a few years later but was revived by a royal proclamation in 1797. In the Articles of War of 1798, it was determined that the Court-Martial of Appeal would serve as the appellate court during peacetime, while during wartime, special appellate courts should be appointed: a General War Court for the land army and superior courts for the navies. The position of justiciar was changed in 1827 to a Lord Justice of Court-Martial of Appeal's (krigshovrättsråd) office.
According to the Royal Ordinance on Military Courts on 11 June 1868, the Court-Martial of Appeal was the second court within the military (§ 2). When ordered by the king, a special Supreme Military Court (Överkrigsrätt) could be established for an army outside the realm or for a fleet on a naval expedition (§ 12), or for both jointly. The Court-Martial of Appeal was composed of four military members appointed by the king for three years, namely a general officer as president and three regimental officers (including at least one with the rank of colonel), as well as a civilian member appointed by the king with the title of Lord Justice of Court-Martial of Appeal. Of the three regimental officers, one was to be from the navy, while the other two were from the army. In addition to being the appellate court for military courts, the Court-Martial of Appeal also immediately handled certain cases, namely those involving crimes committed by officers, and other cases specified by separate legislation for immediate review and judgment by the appellate court.
The public prosecutor at the Court-Martial of Appeal was, according to the law of 1914, the chief public court-martial prosecutor (överkrigsfiskalen). Until then, it was the court-martial prosecutor (krigsfiskalen). In 1916, the military appellate court underwent a profound transformation. Through the military legislation in force from that year until 1949, the military appellate court became a division of the Svea Court of Appeal. Of the previous composition of the military appellate court, the military appellate court judge and two military members, one for the army and one for the navy, were retained. In addition, two hovrättsråd from the Svea Court of Appeal were now included, one serving as the president.
The Military Court Proceedings Act (Militär rättegångslag (1948:472)) of 30 June 1948 stipulated that military cases in peacetime should be handled in ordinary courts. Thus, the Court-Martial of Appeal was abolished. On 30 June 1949, the court held its final session in the plenary hall of the Svea Court of Appeal in the Wrangel Palace.

It is located 869 million light-years from the Solar System and has dimensions of 0.90 x 0.6 arcmin, meaning IC 3222 is 235,000 light-years across in diameter. This makes it a large galaxy. IC 3222 was discovered by Max Wolf on March 23, 1903.
Characteristics
IC 3222 has an active galactic nucleus. It is classified as a LINER galaxy. That is, a galaxy whose nucleus presents an emission spectrum which is characterized by broad lines of weakly ionized atoms.
This activity might be attributed to a central mass-accreting supermassive black hole, making IC 3222 one of the galaxies with the largest AGN sub-population, which dominate in numbers over Seyfert galaxies and quasars.

It will be the 49th consecutive edition of the World Snooker Championship to be held at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England.
Kyren Wilson will be the defending champion, having defeated Jak Jones in the 2024 final.
Background
The final of the first World Snooker Championship took place in 1927 at Camkin's Hall in Birmingham, England, and was won by Joe Davis. Staged annually until 1940, the tournament was not held from 194145 due to World War II and went into decline in the post-war era; the 1952 event was contested by only two players and was replaced by the World Professional Match-play Championship, which was also discontinued in 1957. Joe Davis won the first 15 World Championships, held from 1927 to 1946, and is the only undefeated player in the tournament's history.
Revived on a challenge basis in 1964, the World Championship reverted to an annual knockout tournament in 1969, which marked the beginning of the championship's "modern era". The 1977 tournament was the first staged at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, England, where it has remained since. Stephen Hendry and Ronnie O'Sullivan are the most successful players in the World Championship's modern era, each having won the title seven times. Hendry is the tournament's youngest winner, having captured his first title in 1990, aged . O'Sullivan is the oldest winner, having secured his seventh title in 2022, aged .
The 2025 event (officially the 2025 Cazoo World Snooker Championship) will be organised by the World Snooker Tour and sponsored for the third time by car retailer Cazoo. It will mark the 49th consecutive year that the tournament has been held at the Crucible, and the 57th successive year that the World Championship had been contested through the modern knockout format. Kyren Wilson will be the defending champion, having defeated Jak Jones 1814 in the 2024 final to win his first world title.

Reception
The Argus said the play "is full of incident from first to last, the action brisk, the dialogue pointed, humorous, and not started, and... the situations are sufficiently novel."
Weekly Times said it had "general success".

The play featured horses and sheep on stage. There was an Aboriginal character, Geebung.
Reception
The Sydney Morning Herald said "originality was not the strong point of the authors of the new drama." Another review from that paper said "Mr. Dampier's rescue of his friend during the sensational explosion in the mine, and the incident in which the police are baffled through the instrumentality of the black boy, who unfastens their saddle girths are amongst the many situations which find favour with the audience."
The Sunday Times called it "a good workable play."
Table Talk said Dampier "has never had a part better fitted to his powers than Dick Stewart; he literally
dominates the first act and as the lonely wanderer dowered with gold beyond the dreams of avarice, yet on the verge of death from thirst in the maddening glare of the arid plains he rose to a height of tragic intensity which the audience found most convincing."
Bird of Freedom aruged "being a colonial play, its critics have naturally judged it from the Shakespearoan standard, . aud written accordingly. As a matter of fact, To the West modestly announces itsolf as a realistic, sensational play, aud should be viewod accordingly. Of its kind it is one of the best picutres wo have witnessed in Sydney, and is likely when certain scenic defects have beon got over to prove the most popular Australian play yet written."
Freeman's Journal called it "perhaps the best effort yet staged by any Australian dramatist."
Leslie Rees wrote "Its scenes were set on the ship Westralia nearing Australia’s shores, at Fremantle where the hero is “fortune’s fool”, at Coolgardie where the great gold search is on, near the Great Salt Lake, and on Black Flag Plain. Shocks included an explosion in the mine, with the hero buried alive, and a final fight on the cliffs and the death of two villains, including a Svengali-like fellow whose power over a charming young girl had been causing concern throughout."

76845773 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin%20Milano | Justin Milano | Justin Milano (Japanese: ジャスティンミラノ, foaled April 9, 2021) is an active Japanese Thoroughbred racehorse. He won the Satsuki Shō (Japanese 2000 Guineas) in 2024.
He was named after Milan, a city in Italy, while "Justin" is the eponym used by the owner.
Racing career
2023: two-year-old-season
Justin Milano debuted on November 11, 2023, at the Tokyo Racecourse in a two-year-old newcomer race on turf at a distance of 2,000 meters, ridden by Tom Marquand. He settled in front of the pack and pulled away fast at the final stretch to win his debut race.
2024: three-year-old season
Justin Milano would make his first graded stakes race debut at the Kyodo Tsushin Hai on February 11, 2024. Ridden by Keita Tosaki, he settled in just behind the leader and moved forward after entering the final stretch in response to Tosaki's urging to take the lead, managing to successfully hold off last year's Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes winner Jantar Mantar to win by one and a half horse lengths. On February 28, it was announced by his connections that he was registered to compete in the Epsom Derby.
Canceling the previous plan to enter the Epsom Derby, he was instead scheduled to race at the Satsuki Shō (Japanese 2000 Guineas) on April 14. He broke well off from the gates at the start of the race and settled in at the middle of the pack near the front. Entering into the final straight, he overtook Jantar Mantar who took the lead early and managed to hold off the fast-finishing Cosmo Kuranda, breaking the track record by 0.7 seconds at a time of 1:57.1 seconds. This was his first grade one stakes victory. A week before the race, jockey Kota Fujioka, who rode for him whenever he was training, died in a horseracing accident. His jockey, Keita Tosaki, said, "Kota was the one who trained with this horse a few weeks ago. He gave me the information I needed about the horse. I won this race because of him." His trainer, Yasuo Tomomichi, said with tears in his eyes, "I owe this victory to him (Kota)." This victory marked the first time that a Kizuna offspring won one of the eight major races in Japanese horseracing.

76846044 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation%20Chumik/Operation%20Ibex | Operation Chumik/Operation Ibex | Operation Chumik and Operation Ibex refer to two expeditions by Pakistani and Indian military respectively to seize the strategically important Chumik glacier. Due to heavy combat and severe weather conditions, both sides came to negotiating table and the area was demilitarized
Background
Chumik is small region in Bilafond, which was relatively peaceful since 1984. Frontline posts in this area provided a clear view over Gyong Glacier and Indian military's Baniya Base. A Pakistani post was set up here in 1985. The post was later abolished due to heavy losses of life due to severe weather conditions and artillery fire by India. The post was re-established in 1988 by the Northern Light Infantry Regiment on the order of Commander Force Command Northern Area.
Indian activities
Pakistani intelligence services discovered that India had a plan to capture strategic posts in the Chumik Sector. On 22 February, Indian military helicopters conducted recon operations in the area and then the post was bombarded with artillery fire. In response, the Pakistan Army launched its own recon mission and flew helicopters into the area. They found out that Indian forces had set up five new posts in Chumik area. A complete battalion of Indian army along with multiple artillery pieces and a Lama Helicopter were stationed there. The Indian bases in the area included Ganga, Sadhu, Agra-I, Agra-II and a heavy machine gun post (doubling as observation post). These posts were supplied by Bniya and Rani bases. The Indian Army had also occupied the Naveed Top which was the highest peak in the area and now the Indians had the capability to monitor the activities of Pakistan Army in the area. The Indian Army used this used this peak as a launching point and started bombarding Pakistani forces at Asghar Base.
Operation Chumik
In response Pakistan launched Operation Chumik. Firstly two bases Kausar 1 and Kausar 2 were set up on 17 April. However, due to difficult terrain and severe weather conditions, the operation was immediately aborted.
The second plan was to deploy SSG troops via helicopter, but due to extremely poor weather and terrain, this mission was also aborted.
After a change in plan, On 19 April 1989, the first Pakistani helicopter took off. An officer Lieutenant Naveed of Azad Kashmir regiment and SSG Naik Yaqoob were air dropped. However, due to severe weather, the remaining personnel were airdropped on 21 April.

Nanavatty launched Operation Ibex, Firstly an artillery attack was carried out on Kauser-1 Base, the Pakistani logistical node in Chumik and successfully damaged it to the extent that the troops at Kamran post couldn't be resupplied .

76846045 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junes%20Lokka | Junes Lokka | Junes Lokka (born January 14, 1979) is an anti-immigration activist. From 2017 to 2021, Lokka served in the Oulu city council from the True Finnish Joint List (ASYL). His activity on social media is focused on video broadcasts. Lokka is taking part in the 2024 European Parliament elections as a candidate for the Freedom Alliance.
Criminal proceedings
In the 2017 municipal elections, Lokka was elected to the Oulu city council from the joint list of the ASYL. During the negotiation of trust positions, ASYL's representatives were excluded from the trust positions due to Lokka's bad behavior and inappropriate language. Lokka denied having used inappropriate language. He claimed that inappropriate behavior occurred towards ASYL representatives. In the procedural dispute raised by Lokka's council group, the administrative court sided with ASYL regarding the meeting's technical violation, but the supreme administrative court considered the inadequate procedures in some places to be acceptable considering the whole.
In September 2018, the Oulu district court sentenced Lokka to pay a fine for incitement against an ethnic group.
In February 2019, several decisions were made not to indict Lokka for the crimes he was suspected of committing.
Journalist Johanna Vehkoo was charged with defamation when in November 2016 she had called Lokka on Facebook, among other things, a Nazi, a Nazi clown and a racist. The Oulu district court sentenced Vehkoo to pay a fine for defamation in April 2019. Lokka had demanded compensation of 1,500 euros, but according to the district court, Lokka's own behavior reduced the compensation. Vehkoo appealed the verdict to the Court of Appeal, which upheld the verdict. Vehkoo received permission to appeal to the Supreme Court, which rejected the charge with a preliminary decision issued on January 11, 2022. According to the Supreme Court, Vehkoo's writing was aimed at "Lokka's conduct in politics or comparable public activities and which concerned a subject of general interest" and considering Lokka's own conduct, Vehkoo's writing did not exceed the limits of acceptability.
On April 12, 2019, the Oulu Prosecutor's Office announced two charges against Junes Lokka for incitement against an ethnic group. In February 2020, the Oulu district court sentenced Lokka to fines for inciting against an ethnic group. The Rovaniemi Court of Appeal kept the district court's verdict unchanged. In its decision in November 2022, the Supreme Court upheld Lokka's previous fine. The verdict concerned the videos he published on YouTube, which contained speeches given at a demonstration in Helsinki in August 2016, which the Supreme Court considered to be hate speech aimed at immigrants and Muslims.
Earlier in April 2019, Lokka was charged with four counts of defamation and spreading information that violates private life.
In January 2021, Twitter suspended Lokka's account for violating the rules. In the same year, the district court of Oulu convicted him of inciting against an ethnic group. Lokka had suggested hiring death squads. In December 2021, the District Court of Oulu sentenced Lokka to a fine for defamation, which means that with his income, the amount of fines came to 285 euros, and he was also ordered to pay 400 euros in damages. The events that led to the verdict began during the 2017 municipal elections, when Lokka was not accepted as a participant in the election panel, to which only party representatives had been invited.
In 2022, the Oulu District Court found Junes Lokka guilty of three counts of defamation and one of spreading information that violates private life. According to the district court, a fair verdict would have been a fine, but the trial had been delayed by a year, so as compensation, Lokka was not punished.
Journalist Tommi Parkkonen was sentenced to a fine and to pay one thousand euros in compensation to Lokka in 2022. Parkkonen was deemed to have insulted Lokka's honor in a tweet he sent in April 2019, in which he commented on the case concerning Johanna Vehkoo.

76846071 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nowon%20B | Nowon B | Nowon B () is a constituency of the National Assembly of South Korea. The constituency consists of parts of Nowon District, Seoul. As of 2024, 211,043 eligible voters were registered in the constituency. The constituency was created in 1988 from the Dobong constituency.
History
Since its establishment, Nowon B has elected members of the Democratic Party and predecessor parties in all but two elections and is thus regarded as a stronghold for the Democratic Party.
Kim Yong-chae of the right-wing New Democratic Republican Party was the first member to represent Nowon B, narrowly defeating Lim Chae-jung of the centre-left Peace Democratic Party by a little over 1,000 votes. In the following election, Kim Yong-chae had initially won re-election by a margin of thirty-six votes. However, after it was discovered that a bundle of one hundred votes were mixed up and not counted properly, a recount was performed. The recount declared Lim Chae-jung of the centre-left Democratic Party the winner with only 172 votes separating him from incumbent Kim Yong-chae. Lim won re-election in 1996 and 2000, but did not stand for re-election for Nowon B in 2004, running as the Uri Party candidate for the newly created Nowon C constituency instead. Lim was succeeded by Woo Won-shik of the Uri Party who defeated Kwon Young-jin of the centre-right Grand National Party. In a return match held at the next election, Kwon Young-jin defeated Woo, garnering 49.93% of the vote while Woo received 44.09%. In the 2012 election, Woo and Kwon faced off again; Woo ended up narrowly defeating incumbent Kwon Young-jin by a margin of 1.78%. Woo comfortably won re-election in 2016 and 2020, receiving 51.95 and 62.67% of the vote respectively.
Ahead of the 2024 South Korean legislative election, the Nowon C constituency was abolished as a result of a decrease in population in Nowon District. Incumbent member Woo Won-shik ran in the Nowon A constituency after beating incumbent Koh Yong-jin in a primary and Nowon C incumbent Kim Sung-hwan was nominated as the Democratic Party's candidate for Nowon B. Kim Sung-hwan went on to win in the general election with 58.51% of the vote.
Boundaries
The constituency encompasses Junggye 1-dong, Junggye 4-dong, and Sanggye-dong. It borders the constituencies of Uijeongbu B to the north, Dobong A and Dobong B to the west, Nowon A to the south, and Namyangju B to the east.

76846204 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy%20Wilkinson | Dorothy Wilkinson | Dorothy Irene Wilkinson (22 May, 1883 – 18 September, 1947) was a United Kingdom-born Australian headmistress of Sydney Church of England Girls Grammar School.
Life
Wilkinson was born in the English village of Up Holland. Her mother was Florence (born Shann) and her father, Reverend Christopher George Wilkinson, was to become the headmaster of Launceston Church Grammar School in Tasmania. Her father was invited to move to Tasmania by Bishop Henry Montgomery in 1899 - where he collected ancient stone tools. She was brought up there but she returned to England for her final school at the Clergy Daughters' School in Westmorland in 1896. The school had been the basis of the school in Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre some years before. Wilkinson returned to Tasmania and she did some teaching at her father's school. She qualified as a teacher at the University of Melbourne in 1912. In the following year she gained her first degree in history.
Edith Badham, the long-serving head of the Sydney Church of England Girls Grammar School in the Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst, died in 1920. She was succeeded by Wilkinson. She was awarded her masters degree by her alma mater in 1921. She gave the school a High Anglican and Christian ethos, and wrote the school chapel hymn as well as prayers and other hymns.
Wilkinson gave up being the honorary secretary of the Association of Headmistresses when she retired from the school in 1947 and she died later that year in Sydney's Neutral Bay, in an accident, when she fell while getting off a bus. She was succeeded by Barbara Chisholm. Her school has a portrait of her and, although now named SCEGGS Darlinghurst, "her" school was still in operation in 2024.

76846250 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The%20Ape%20and%20the%20Dolphin | The Ape and the Dolphin | The Ape (or monkey) and the Dolphin is one of Aesop’s Fables and is numbered 73 in the Perry Index. Due to its appearance among La Fontaine's Fables, it has always been popular in France, but in Britain treatment of the story was rarer until the 19th century.
The fable
Following a shipwreck off the Greek coast, a pet monkey belonging to a mariner is rescued from drowning by a dolphin. On being asked whether he is from Athens, the monkey boasts that he belongs to one of the city's foremost families. The dolphin then enquires whether he has visited Piraeus (the Athenian seaport), but the monkey thinks that a person is meant and replies that they are the best of friends. Taking a closer look at his passenger, the dolphin realises that he has not rescued a human being and swims off, leaving the monkey to his fate. The fable closes with the assurance that the story is suitable for liars.
Latin versions of the fable began with the explanation that it was a maritime custom to take along pet animals during voyages, and their example was followed during the Renaissance by Gabriele Faerno in "Simius et Delphus", the poem he composed for his very popular collection Fabulae Centum (1563). He was followed afterwards in French by Jean de La Fontaine, who included the story among his Fables (1668) under the title "Le singe et le dauphin", with the added observation that according to the natural historian Pliny the Elder dolphins are friendly to the human species.
The fable in Britain
Prose accounts of the fable began appearing soon afterwards in Britain, including in the Mythologia Ethica (1689) of Philip Ayres, who also repeats Pliny's observation and titles the story "The Ape and the Dolphin". So did Roger L'Estrange in his collection of Aesop's fables a few years later, concluding at the end of his reflexion on the story that "we have Apes in History, as well as in Fiction, and not a Rush matter whether they go on Four Legs, or on Two". The grammarian Louis Chambaud goes further in his Fables choisies: a l'usage des enfans, et des autres personnes (1692), concluding his own relation of the fable by asking whether drowning would not be a suitable end for human liars too.
The fable was ignored by the main fable collections of the 18th century but appeared in the curiously titled Aesop Unveiled, Or, The Beauties of Deformity: Being a Poetical Translation of Several Curious Fables Out of Aesop and Other Approv'd Mythologists Equally as Diverting and Beneficial to the English Reader as His Comic Shape and Instructive Morals Were to the Ancients (1731). The story is treated with jogtrot joviality and concludes with the moral:
Deceivers are oftentimes left in the briars
For none are so odious to all men as liars.
Several more amateur poets retold the fable of the ape and the dolphin in the next century and, though they did not always acknowledge their source as La Fontaine, its provenance is witnessed by the detail of the dolphin's friendship for man being on Pliny's authority. These versions were to be found both in books, as in the case of John Lettice and Elizabeth Pipe Wolferstan, or as anonymous submissions to such transient periodicals as The Yorkshireman and The illustrated sailors' magazine, and new nautical miscellany. George Hardinge, on the other hand, in his poem "The Monkey and the Dolphin", gave the ape a leisurely treatment of some 56 lines as the teller of very tall stories.
In later years, the fable was included in methodical prose accounts, gathered "chiefly from original sources", such as those by the clergyman Thomas James, George Fyler Townsend, and Vernon Jones. All of these gave it the title "The Monkey and the Dolphin", as did the anonymous American editor of Aesop for Children (Chicago, 1919). The text from this was used much later by Dev Virahsawmy to accompany his adaptation of the fable into Mauritian Creole as Zistwar Zako ek Dofen.
Artistic treatments
The fable's appearance among La Fontaine's fables led to its being included in The labyrinth of Versailles during the 1670s. The 34th sculpture there is ascribed to Georges Sibrayque and once featured a dolphin from whose mouth a fountain jets while the gesturing ape rides on its back. A later park sculpture of the fable, now in the Strasbourg Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, was carved in polished sandstone by Jean-Désiré Ringel d'Illzach in 1903. Various pictorial artists have also illustrated the fable, among whom were Gustave Doré and Gustave Moreau.

The board was an agency of the United States Food Administration, with the Food Administrator serving as its chairman. The board was abolished in 1926 by Executive Order 4475.
Background
The board bought and distributed the 1918-19 crop of Cuban sugar, and stimulated U.S. sugar production by equalizing prices of domestic and imported crops. The board also regulated coffee imports under authority of the War Trade Board and the U.S. Food Administration. In 1919, the board's contract with U.S. sugar refiners expired, and the responsibility for regulating and licensing sugar companies became a responsibility of the U.S. Attorney General. The board was a furtherance of the U.S. government's efforts to control the sugar industry during the early 20th century.
The board was abolished by President Calvin Coolidge by Executive Order 4475 in July 1926.
Members of the Sugar Equalization Board
Early members of the board included:
Herbert Hoover, chairman
George M. Rolph, president
Theodore Whitmarsh, U.S. Food Administration
Robert A. Taft

The Age said "The drama itself seems to be composed of scraps taken from half tho sensational plays which have been produced in this city during the last 20 years."
The Argus said "The drama is unsatisfactory in that too much superllous matter is introduced,
so that the plot does not stand out with sufficent force, and that it is not without incongruity. In its construction there has been too great a desire to provide sensation. Every attempt has also been made to create fun by local allusions fit only for burlesque, and the so called "working man" of Australia, the Chinese question, and the land boom afforded convenient agencies for obtaining the laughter of the audience, whose extra ordinarily appreciative mood may thus to some extent be accounted for."
The play was later published in book form.
Slaves of Sydney
The script was rewritten for Sydney in 1893 as Slaves of Sydney by Dampier and J H Wrangham.

The play tourued through 1887 and 1888 was revived in 1893.
The Evening News said "he piece is disappointing. It relies too much on tricks of plot and stage effect, without making any use of the story as means for the subtle development of character, and without any charm of wit or wisdom in the language... two or three of the scenes are laboriously constrained and far-fetched, and this disregard of probability marred the effect of the few genuine touches of nature which stood cutaintly amidst the surrounding conventionality.".
The Sydney Morning Herald called it "an interesting play".

76846762 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shamus%20O%27Brien%20%28play%29 | Shamus O'Brien (play) | Shamus O'Brien is a 1887 Australian stage play by Alfred Dampier and Percy Kehoe based on a poem about the Irish rebellion of 1798 by Sherida Le Fanu. It was one of Dampier's most popular plays and was often revived.
Reception
The Sydney Morning Herald says "some portions of the plot could perhaps hardly with justice be said to bo absolutely new" and while it allowed the play "contains many effective scenes" which help to maintain tho interest of tho auditor in the drama, the performance occupied a longer time than was desirable."
The Age called it "an interesting play. It is true there is no striking originality eithor in the characters or in the situations which they are made to occupy, but nevertheless the story is one which awakens the interest of tho audience, and stirs the Hibernian breast to positive enthusiasm."

76846763 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardinal%20slice | Cardinal slice | Austrian cardinal slice, or simply cardinal slice () is a traditional Austrian cake. The white and gold colors of cardinal slice reference the colors of the Catholic Church, however, according to another source, the colors reference the Vatican. These colors appear because of its ingredients; genoise sponge mixture and soft meringue. Outer layers of the cake are a little bit crunchy, and the texture is airy and light. It is generally recommended to be enjoyed with dessert wine.
History
Cardinal slice was created in 1933 by L. Heiner café pastry chain in honor of Theodor Innitzer.

76846775 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When%20Lightnin%27%20Struck%20the%20Pine | When Lightnin' Struck the Pine | When Lightnin' Struck the Pine is an album by the American musician CeDell Davis, released in 2002. It was released through Fast Horse Recordings, a label co-owned by some of the members of Davis's backing band. Davis supported the album with a North American tour.
Production
Recorded in Dallas and Denton, Texas, the album was produced by Joe Cripps. Davis was backed by the band Tuatara; he was leery of creating a "primitive blues" sound, and desired the bigger sound of a full band. Davis used a butter knife as his guitar slide. "Woke Up This Morning" is a cover of the B. B. King song. "So Long, I Hate to See You Go" is a version of Lowell Fulson's "Reconsider Baby".
Critical reception
Robert Christgau concluded that "it'll sure stick to your ribs longer than what Jon Spencer stewed up with R.L. Burnside—long enough to take you back to Davis's 1994 Fat Possum comp." The Chicago Tribune opined that, "despite some funny muttered-word asides, the record is a little too clean and professional, and Davis holds back instead of asserting his slurred- around-the-edges personality." The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette said that "the results are deep blue notes twisted and bent to the breaking point, reshaped into surrealistically ragged tones and released to forge otherworldly harmonics."
AllMusic wrote that "it's a glorious, defiant celebration of Mississippi blues, recalling Muddy Waters more than, say, Junior Kimbrough in the deep Delta mud that sticks around greasy tracks like 'Pay to Play' or the closing instrumental 'Hold Me Baby'." In 2012, the Dallas Observer listed When Lightnin' Struck the Pine as one of the "Top Ten North Texas Blues Albums", deeming it "a fairly authentic slab of electrified Delta blues."

76846832 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torleiv%20Hytten | Torleiv Hytten | Torleiv Hytten CMG (17 February 1890 – 2 January 1980) was a Norwegian-Australian economist and university administrator. He served as vice-chancellor of the University of Tasmania from 1949 to 1957. He was previously an economic adviser to the Tasmanian state government and the Bank of New South Wales.
Early life
Hytten was born on 17 February 1890 in Drammen, Norway. He was one of nine surviving children born to Marie Charlotte (née Knudsen) and Oscar Emil Hytten. His father was a master shoemaker.
Hytten was raised in poverty. He was educated in Tønsberg, but left school at a young age due to his family's financial situation.
First years in Australia
Hytten immigrated to Australia in 1910, initially settling in New South Wales and working for periods as a labourer in Newcastle, at a ship chandler in Sydney, and as a truck driver in Broken Hill. He lived in Broken Hill between 1913 and 1918, where he was active in trade unions and attended Workers' Educational Association (WEA) sessions. He was influenced by WEA lecturer Herbert Heaton and began writing for local newspapers.
In 1918, Hytten moved to Tasmania and found work in the mining districts on the West Coast, also writing for the Zeehan and Dundas Herald. He kept in touch with Heaton and soon moved to Hobart where he became secretary of the local branch of the WEA and worked as a journalist for the The World and the short-lived News. He was the chief leader writer for the News on foreign affairs.
Hytten graduated Bachelor of Arts at the University of Tasmania in 1922 and was naturalised as a British subject the following year.
Career
Academia
In 1926, Hytten was appointed as a temporary lecturer at the University of Tasmania. He completed a Master of Arts in 1929 with a thesis on transport economics. He was a protégé of Douglas Copland and succeeded Copeland as professor of economics in 1930. He was also influenced by his colleagues L. F. Giblin and Jim Brigden.
Resigning in 1935 to move to the private sector, Hytten returned to the University of Tasmania in August 1949. He was the first position to hold the position on a full-time basis. His tenure proved contentious and he dealt with a number of issues, including poor working conditions, low staff salaries, and delays in the planned move from The Domain to a new campus at Sandy Bay. Hytten was ultimately responsible for the controversial dismissal of philosophy professor Sydney Sparkes Orr on grounds of sexual impropriety in 1956, although he claimed to have been forced in to the dismissal by the university's council. He had a close relationship with university chancellor John Morris, but was viewed as out of touch by staff and students. A royal commission into the Orr case was critical of his actions and he resigned as vice-chancellor in 1957.
Government and banking work
Hytten served as an economic adviser to the Tasmanian state government from 1929 to 1935. He gave evidence on Tasmania's evidence before federal bodies during the Great Depression, including the Joint Committee on Public Accounts and the Commonwealth Grants Commission. Initially appointed by Nationalist premier John McPhee, he subsequently worked closely with Australian Labor Party (ALP) premier Albert Ogilvie. In 1935 he was chosen to represent Tasmania at the Silver Jubilee of George V, along with Ogilvie and Frank Gaha. The three subsequently toured Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, reportedly the first such official delegation from any Australian government to visit the Soviet Union.
In 1935, Hytten joined the Bank of New South Wales as an economic adviser, remaining with the bank until 1949. In that year he reportedly oversaw a staff of eight researches in the bank's economic department. He opposed the Chifley government's attempts at bank nationalisation, which were overturned by the High Court in Bank of New South Wales v Commonwealth. He was a founding member of the Economic Society of Australia and served as chairman from 1933 to 1939 and from 1946 to 1947. He was later appointed by the Menzies government to the board of the Commonwealth Bank of Australia, serving from 1954 to 1959.
Hytten attracted public attention in 1949 with his comments opposing the existing bipartisan consensus on full employment, suggesting that a permanent unemployment rate of between six and eight percent would be ideal for economic stability. His comments were publicly criticised by federal government minister H. V. Evatt and appeared in ALP campaign materials in the lead-up to the 1949 federal election. In response Hytten stated that the advertisements came "close to libel" and denied any political affiliation, stating that his remarks had been in response to the White Paper on Full Employment in Australia and had been taken out of context.
Personal life and honours
In 1922, Hytten married Margaret Compton, with whom he had two sons; one died in infancy. In retirement he and his wife moved to Scotland, where their son had settled. He died in Aberdeen on 2 January 1980, aged 89.
Hytten bequeathed a memoir titled To Australia With Thanks: Reminiscences of an Immigrant to the University of Tasmania, which was unpublished at the time of his death. His recollections of his fellow economists, including Brigden, Copland, Giblin and Roland Wilson, have been an important source for historians of 20th-century Australian economic thought.
Hytten was appointed a knight of Norway's Order of Saint Olav in 1951. He was also appointed Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George (CMG) in the 1953 New Year Honours. In 1959, the University of Tasmania established Hytten Hall, a male-only residential college at its new Sandy Bay campus. The college was closed in 1980 but a new residential facility of the same name was opened in Hobart's city centre in 2024.

76847136 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikalojus%20Lip%C4%8Dius | Mikalojus Lipčius | Mikalojus Lipčius (also known as Mikas or Mykolas; 19 December 1894 – 25 June 1942) was the head of interwar Lithuanian military intelligence services (1919–1923), Vice-Minister of the Interior (1923–1924), and director of the finance department of the Ministry of Finance (1927–1940).
Early life
Early life and studies
Mikalojus Lipčius was born on 19 December 1893 in the village of Bernotai, then part of the Kovno Governorate of the Russian Empire. Through his mother Kotryna Lipčienė née Mačiulytė, Lipčius was nephew to the priest and poet Maironis. Lipčius attended the Betygala Primary School from 1901 to 1904, and the Palanga Middle School from 1904 to 1909. From 1909 to 1914 he attended a boy's gymnasium in Kaunas. He then studied at the Riga Polytechnic Institute from 1914 to 1916. From 1916 to 1918 he studied at the Russian State Agrarian University, where he met his future wife, the opera soloist Marija Lipčienė-Marcinkevičiūtė. The couple married on 16 February 1920 in Kaunas. They had two children, Algirdas and Aldona. Aldona was a pianist, while Algirdas was the father of the cellist Saulius Lipčius.
Lithuanian Wars of Independence
In July 1918, at the end of the First World War and the outbreak of the Lithuanian Wars of Independence, Lipčius returned to Lithuania. He joined the Lithuanian army on 30 December 1918. He served under in the 2nd Infantry Regiment. He diligently organized propaganda for the Lithuanian army to gather more volunteers. On 13 January 1919 he was assigned to the General Staff. He became a special affairs officer, a title given to covert military intelligence personnel.
Career
Head of intelligence
Soon after he became acquainted with the News unit headed by Jonas Žilinskas. On 12 May the unit was renamed into the Unit of Intelligence, and two days later Lipčius was transferred to the unit as Žilinskas's deputy. As Žilinskas was ill and could not lead the unit, on 10 June Lipčius was made the temporary leader of the unit, and later the permanent leader on 12 July. However, Lipčius soon fell ill himself and had to be substituted by Liudas Gira. Lipčius's unit also participated in the discovery of the Polish Military Organisation's attempted coup of Lithuania. In 1921 he was awarded the Order of the Cross of Vytis, 1st degree. Under his leadership, an official statute of the intelligence agency was written, connections with Latvian intelligence services were made, and courses for intelligence officers began. Lipčius was the first to suggest that the intelligence unit issue certificates of trust to people seeking employment in state institutions, with the goal being to prevent compromised persons from holding responsible positions. In 1922, Lipčius studied at Vytautas Magnus University.
Klaipėda Revolt
Lipčius helped organize the Klaipėda Revolt of 1923 by establishing intelligence gathering areas near the border with the Klaipėda region, then administered by the League of Nations under a French administration. Lipčius recruited and closely worked with Jonas Budrys, who was the head of counter-intelligence. Budrys was sent to Klaipėda in 1922 to explore the possibility of a revolt.
Later years
Vice-Minister and director
On 25 March 1923, by the decree of president Aleksandras Stulginskis, Lipčius was made Vice-Minister of the Interior. Petras Kirlys succeeded Lipčius as head of the Lithuanian intelligence on 10 April. Within the Ministry, Lipčius helped establish a secret police independent of military intelligence and the Department of Civil Protection, which had the role of criminal police. Lipčius also issued the creation of the Criminal Police Department "B" (Kriminalinės policijos skyrius "B"). From 1924 to 1927 Lipčius, under state scholarship, studied at the Paris School of Political Sciences with specialty in state finance and administration. On 1 September 1927 Lipčius was appointed the director of the finance department at the Lithuanian Ministry of Finance. In 1936 he was awarded the Klaipėda Liberation Medal and Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas.
Imprisonment and death
After Lithuania was occupied by the Soviet Union, Lipčius was arrested by Soviet authorities on 1 August 1940 and imprisoned in Kaunas and later Vilnius. He was sentenced to eight years of hard labour, and on 5 June 1941 was deported to Siberia to a camp near the Pechora river, where he died on 25 June 1942.

76847144 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/30.5%20cm%20RK%20L/22 | 30.5 cm RK L/22 | The 30.5 cm Ring Kanone L/22 was a 30.5 cm 22 caliber long Krupp Ring Kanone. It was a rifled breech loader built-up gun with a Krupp cylindroprismatic horizontal sliding breech. The gun became famous when it was exhibited at the 1873 Vienna World's Fair. It did not enter service, but did lead to the development of the 30.5 cm MRK L/22.
Context
Background: Heavier armor on ships
In mid 1872 and May 1873, the German military held trials with what was then its heaviest gun, the 28 cm RK L/22. In an August 1873 note about the May 1873 trials, the artillery test commission noted that the 28 cm gun would not be strong enough in the near future.
At the time, some new ships had armor belts of 305 mm thickness with a supporting layer that was even stronger than the of teak found on Warrior. Other ships like Petr Veliky and a new British class were partly protected by 355 mm armor. These developments meant that in order to assure the superiority of the coastal artillery over ship armor, a heavier caliber than 28 cm was necessary.
Development of the 30.5 cm RK L/22
The Vienna gun
While the German authorities were making plans, the Krupp steelworks pro-actively developed the 30.5 cm Ring Kanone L/22 to counter prospective advances in ship armor. Krupp initially made two of these guns. One of these guns was used for testing.
The other 30.5 cm gun was the showpiece of the Krupp pavilion on the 1 May to 31 October 1873 Vienna World's Fair. The 30.5 cm L/22 gun got extensive media coverage by its appearance on the Vienna fair. Multiple military delegations visited the fair and made reports about the gun. An extensive report with images was written by the Dutch captain A.M. Mazel.
The test gun was called 'gezogene 30,5 cm Kanone Nr. 1'. From 7 August 1872 to mid February 1873 it fired 230 shot.
Germany considers the 30.5 cm RK L/22
In February 1874 the German government appointed a commission to investigate the situation on the North Sea and Baltic coast. The commission concluded that for the North Sea a heavier caliber gun than 28 cm was not necessary for most places and not enough in other places. On the Baltic coast, it found that a heavier gun could be useful, but that it was probably more efficient to invest in torpedoes and monitors.
Also in 1874, the German Admiralty considered the possibility of arming the projected (small battleships for home waters) with the 30.5 cm Ring Kanone that Krupp had made in 1873. In 1874 Germany then ordered three 30.5 cm RK L/22 at Krupp.
Krupp then offered a gun for a test against armor that took place on 7 July 1875. The target of the 1875 test was an iron armor plate of 10 inch backed up by a teak and then followed by a 6-inch armor plate backed by another layer of teak. Three shots were fired with 60 kg of prismatic pulver with a density of 1.74-1.76, two of these failed to penetrate the armor. The third shot only succeeded because it hit a spot that had been weakened by earlier hits. Two more shots were fired with 65 kg of gunpowder. These attained a velocity of about 460 m/s, or about 15 m/s higher than those fired with 60 kg of propellant. These shots easily penetrated the target.
During the Winter of 1875/76 Krupp tested the gun with a charge of 65 kg of Prismatic Pulver c/75. It fired a 301 kg projectile with a velocity of 461 m/s. A kg of gunpowder then had 1,170 cm3 of space to explode in. The average gas pressure was 2,890 atm.
Labels of the 30.5 cm L/22 guns
Krupp referred to the 30.5 cm Ring Kanone as the 'Lange 30.5 cm Kanone' (see 30.5 cm RK L/22 in 1873 image). This was in line with Krupp's idea to have long (L/22) and short (L/20) versions of his guns. After the German navy had taken the 30.5 cm MRK L/22 into use, it had only one kind of 30.5 cm gun in service, and so it simply named the MRK the '30.5 cm Kanone'. When in 1885, the navy changed its naming system to include the length of its guns in calibers, this became the '30.5 cm Kanone L/22'. The 30.5 cm RK L/22 guns that Germany bought did not get an official label, because they were not adopted for service. If they had been, their label would probably have become 30.5 cm RK L/22 in 1885.
Characteristics of the Vienna gun
Overview
The 30.5 cm RK L/22 was made according to the Ring Kanone system. It consisted of an inner tube and three layers of rings put on top of each other. One of the rings included the trunnions. Total length was 6,7 m or 22 calibers. The length of bore was 5.77 m. The length of the rifled part was 4.39 m. The total weight was 36,600 kg (i.e. 36 ton ). Charges were 50 or 60 kg of prismatic gunpowder. The report of the test gave some further details.
The gun had 72 parallel grooves with a twist length of 21.79 m. The grooves were 8.8 mm wide, the lands 4.5 mm wide. The grooves were 3.5 mm deep. The deep grooves were a feature of the old rifling system that would be abandoned by Germany.
Projectiles
The Vienna gun still had the old projectiles with lead driving bands. The projectiles were 760 mm long. The steel grenade with 7 kg of explosives weighed 296 kg. The hardened grenade weighed 303 kg and contained 3.3 kg of explosives. Finally, the long grenade weighed 270 kg and contained 14.8 kg of explosives.
Carriage
The Vienna gun was exhibited on a coastal carriage. The total carriage weight was 21,000 kg. A conspicuous feature of the gun and carriage was that they were so well balanced. From a physical perspective, two men could operate the gun. However, for an efficient rate of fire, about 10 men were needed.
Later characteristics
When Germany ordered three 30.5 cm L/22 guns, these were made with a different inner configuration than that of the Vienna gun. The use of copper driving bands required shallower grooves. In an overview of German Artillery, there indeed appears a 30.5 cm gun with a diameter of 309 mm in the grooves, i.e. with 2 mm deep grooves like the later MRK had. That this was indeed one of the guns ordered in 1874 was shown by the charge of 60 kg of Prismatic Pulver with a density of 1.73-1.76. Just like that used in the July 1875 test.
This variant of the gun had an overall length of 6,700 mm. The length of bore was 5,770 mm, and the length of the rifled part was 4,750 mm. The diameter of the chamber was 313 mm. The gun had 72 grooves that were 8.8 mm wide. The lands were 4.5 mm wide. The twist length was 13.725 m. Weight was 36,600 kg. The standard charge was 60 kg of P.P. with a density of 1.73-1.76.
Usage
To all appearances, the 30.5 cm RK L/22 was never put into service. However, it might have been used to test the gun emplacement / turn table on board Wespe, see the page about the 30.5 cm MRK L/22.
Further developments
The 30.5 cm RK L/22 was succeeded by the 30.5 cm MRK L/22. This was caused by the introduction of the Mantel Ring construction, known in English as jacketed and hooped. This made for a significantly stronger gun barrel and led to all kinds of other innovations.

76847242 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yana%20Pinchuk | Yana Pinchuk | Yana Vitalievna Pinchuk (; born June 28, 1997, Vitebsk) is a Belarusian political activist. She is recognized as a political prisoner in Belarus by Memorial.
Biography
Yana Pinchuk was born on June 28, 1997, a citizen of the Republic of Belarus. Until 2018, she lived in Vitebsk, after which she moved to Russia. There, she lived in St. Petersburg, was not officially employed, and worked unofficially as a waitress.
Arrest and imprisonment
On November 1, 2021, she was detained by St. Petersburg police officers at the request of the “competent authorities of the Republic of Belarus” in connection with charges under Part 3 of Art. 130 (“Intentional actions aimed at inciting other social hostility and discord on the basis of a different social affiliation, committed by a group of persons”, up to 12 years in prison) and Part 1 of Art. 361.1 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus (“Leading an extremist formation”, up to 7 years in prison). By a decision of the Vasileostrovsky District Court of St. Petersburg dated November 3, 2021, a preventive measure in the form of detention was chosen against Pinchuk, which was subsequently extended until April 30, 2022.
According to the investigative authorities of Belarus, Pinchuk, being the administrator of the Telegram channel “Vitebsk 97%”, through the Princess Leia account, “acted jointly and in concert by prior conspiracy in a group with other unidentified persons, while the intent of each covered the actions of another member of the group”, in the period from September 23, 2020, to December 7, 2020, “for the purpose of inciting other social hostility and discord based on a different social affiliation,” posted in this channel “text messages containing a negative assessment of a group of people united on the basis of their employee affiliation law enforcement agencies, public authorities and other groups of persons united by other social characteristics, as well as inducement in the form of a proposal to take actions aimed at causing harm to a group of persons united by belonging to the police.”
Pinchuk was also accused of posting text messages related to extremist materials on the same channel between September 23, 2020, and May 3, 2021 "for the purpose of carrying out extremist activities” and at the same time managing Vitebsk 97%, which was declared an extremist formation by a court decision in March 2021.
Pinchuk stated in court that she did not commit the crimes charged to her, and learned about the accusations against her only after her arrest.
On August 9, 2022, she was extradited from the Russian Federation to the Republic of Belarus due to the extradition ban of the UN Human Rights Committee.
In June 2023, the Minsk City Court sentenced activist Yana Pinchuk to 12 years in prison.

History
The de Zulueta family is an ancient Catholic Basque family from the Pamplona region of Northern Spain, who trace their genealogical ancestry back at the least by 700 years including participating in the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa in 1212, an important turning point in the Reconquista and the medieval history of Spain.
The hereditary rank and title, Count of Torre Díaz, was conferred on Spanish merchant Don Pedro Juan de Zulueta by Queen Isabella II of Spain in 1846. The 2nd Count, a chamberlain to the King of Spain and a member of the Senate of Spain until the Revolution in 1868, married Sophie Anne Willcox, daughter of Brodie McGhie Willcox, MP for Southampton, and established the London bank of Zulueta & Co. Sofia Josefa de Zulueta, a daughter of the 2nd Count, married Rafael Carlos Merry del Val and was the mother of Cardinal Rafael Merry del Val. The 3rd Count, was married to Constance, daughter of the Hon. Frederick Petre (a son of the 11th Baron Petre) and, secondly, to Hon. Bertha Clifford, a daughter of Charles Clifford, 8th Baron Clifford of Chudleigh. The 5th Count was a Roman Catholic canon who served as rector of Holy Redeemer Church, Chelsea.
