Life Is Beautiful (Larry June, 2 Chainz and the Alchemist album)
|
Life Is Beautiful is a collaborative studio album by American rappers Larry June and 2 Chainz and record producer the Alchemist. It was released on February 7, 2025, by ALC Records and Empire Distribution. Production was handled entirely by the Alchemist. It marks the second collaboration between Larry June and the Alchemist, following The Great Escape (2023), and marks 2 Chainz's first major release since departing from Def Jam after two decades with the label.
Background and lyrics
Larry June and the Alchemist, who have worked together on projects in the past, enlisted Atlanta rapper 2 Chainz for the album, who is primarily known for his work in the trap subgenre. Despite their differing styles, the three artists found chemistry in their shared approach to storytelling and introspective lyricism. The Alchemist noted, "Maybe on paper the styles are kinda different, but the content is not far off."
As the three artists collaborated, the album came together organically, with initial plans for a shorter project before expanding into a full-length release. "Every joint just kept getting better. I wanted to do a five-pack, and then it was clear once we did a few of them, it was like, ‘We would be cheating them if we only gave them five," said the Alchemist.
The album explores themes of personal growth, responsibility, and the realities of success, with both 2 Chainz and Larry June reflecting on their journeys. Larry June described the project's relatability, stating, "We might talk our shit about watches, cars and shit here and there. But we also give them the real. You gotta show 'em both sides and who you really are."
2 Chainz, known for his energetic delivery on trap beats, embraced a different approach for the album. "I'm actually more comfortable rapping than doing trap music," he explained. "For the most part, I think my peers in the industry knew what I could do, but I don't think the fans knew what I could do."
The album was announced on January 31, 2025. An album trailer was released alongside the announcement, featuring footage from cities around the world and clips of the artists working together in the studio.

Your Love (Jisoo song)
|
"Your Love" is a song recorded by South Korean singer Jisoo. It is the second track on her debut extended play, Amortage (2025), which was released on February 14, 2025, through her label Blissoo and Warner Records. Blending elements of electropop, pop-rock, and bubblegum pop, the song captures a woman's deep and immersive happiness of romantic love. The track was written by Jisoo, Jack Brady, Jordan Roman, Violet Skies, Lilian Caputo and Jenna Raine. Production was handled by Blissoo and The Wavys.
"Your Love" peaked at number 197 on the Circle Digital Chart in South Korea, and has charted in Singapore and New Zealand. Critics responded favorably to its lyrics and production, noting how they showcased a different side of Jisoo and complemented the themes of the album's title track, "Earthquake".
Background and release
Jisoo announced her departure from YG Entertainment for solo activities in December 2023 and established her own label named Blissoo in February 2024. On January 26, 2025, she revealed that she would be releasing her debut extended play Amortage on Valentine's Day. She announced on January 28 that she had signed a global label deal with Warner Records for her solo music. On February 4, Jisoo unveiled the tracklist and credits for the EP, including the track "Your Love". The following day, she released a concept poster for the track, which provided a hint with the phrase: "Stars in my eyes, constellations for you." "Your Love" was released worldwide alongside the rest of the EP on February 14.
Lyrics and production
"Your Love" has been described as an "effervescent declaration of the pure exhilaration of love" featuring "pulsing synths meant for getting lost on the dance floor". While Jisoo considered performing the song in Korean, she felt the English lyrics were "well-crafted to capture the mood" and ultimately recorded the track in English. She "thoroughly analyze[d] the hidden meanings" to ensure that the lyrics’ essence was "well conveyed during the recording".
Critical reception
Crystal Bell of NME described "Your Love" as a "propulsive pop ballad" and praised Jisoo for "stretching her range and vulnerability," delivering the emotional beats entirely in English. Billboards Jeff Benjamin ranked it the third-best track on Amortage, highlighting its "classic, singalong-style chorus" for amplifying the song’s euphoric energy. Benjamin further praised the lyrics' emotional depth and Jisoo’s contribution to the English songwriting.
Live performances
Jisoo is set to perform the song on Lights, Love, Action!, a fanmeet tour spanning seven cities across Asia.

NGC 4772
|
NGC 4772 is a spiral galaxy in the constellation Virgo. The galaxy lies about 90 million light years away from Earth based on redshift-independent methods, which means, given its apparent dimensions, that NGC 4772 is approximately 85,000 light years across. Based on redshift the galaxy lies at a distance of 13.3 Mpc (43.4 Mly). It was discovered by William Herschel on January 24, 1784.
Characteristics
NGC 4772 has a bright circular galactic bulge. The galaxy has a long and broad low-surface-brightness bar in the bulge. The kinematics of the central region indicate the presence of a misaligned bar or disk. However it could also indicate the presence of counter-rotating gas, with the galaxy being at the late stages of a minor merger. The central region of the galaxy is depleted in hydrogen and also has low carbon monoxide emission. The nucleus of the galaxy has been found to be active and based on its spectrum it has been characterised as a type 1.9 LINER.
The galaxy has two faint, narrow arms which wrap around the galaxy and form a ring. An outer ring is visible, but appears segmented on its northern and southern part. A dust lane surrounds the bulge. The dust lane has some filaments which resemble a spiral structure. The dust lane region also features H-alpha and hydrogen line emission. The hydrogen emission is distributed in two rings around the nucleus. The inner ring has a radius of 60 arcseconds and the outer ring a radius of 200 arcseconds. There is a faint blue stellar location at the outer ring, while the inner ring coincides with active star formation regions. The two rings have slightly different position angles. Carbon monoxide emission is asymmetric and is distributed along the inner hydrogen ring. The star formation rate of the galaxy is about 0.03 per year.
Supernovae
Two supernovae have been observed in NGC 4772:
SN 1988E was discovered on 20 January 1988 by Yoshiaki Taniguchi at an apparent magnitude of 17. It was initially identified as a type II supernova well past maximum, but further observations found it was depleted in hydrogen and was thus reclassified as a type I supernova about 300 days post maximum light.
SN 2012cu was discovered on 14 June 2012 by Koichi Itagaki at an apparent magnitude of 16.3. Its spectrum revealed it was a type Ia supernova near maximum light. The supernova was highly reddened due to extinction by dust.
Nearby galaxies
NGC 4772 is a member of the NGC 4753 Group, along with NGC 4629, NGC 4691, NGC 4753, NGC 4771, NGC 4845, and NGC 4904. It is part of a Virgo II Groups, a chain of groups extending from the Virgo Cluster. NGC 4772 lies near the outer regions of the Virgo Cluster and has been considered an outlying member of it. The high-surface brightness galaxy CGCG 015-036 lies 18.5 arcminutes away, while the galaxy pair of NGC 4809 and NGC 4810 lies 35 arcminutes to the northeast and at a similar redshift.

Green Academy
|
Green Academy was a 19th-century school in Huntsville, Alabama, United States. It was the only school operating in north Alabama in the first quarter of the 19th century, and it only educated white boys, up to a total enrollment of about 50. Green Academy predated the University of Alabama by almost 20 years.
Most accounts credit land speculator and veteran of Andrew Jackson's military expeditions John Brahan and his wife Mary Weakley Brahan as the source of the land on which the school stood. (There are also claims that the land was donated by William Smith, a U.S. Senator from South Carolina and a lifelong friend of Andrew Jackson.) The school opened under a charter from the Mississippi Territorial Legislature in 1812. No buildings were constructed until 1819. Most of the construction funding, about $2,000, came from the sale of stock in Planters' & Merchants' Bank at Huntsville. At what was probably its height in 1845, the school had a staff of four: the principal, and three teachers. Among the alumni were Clement Claiborne Clay, later a Senator, and Confederate General Edward Asbury O'Neal.
During the American Civil War, U.S. troops were quartered at the school, including the 15th Kentucky and "Gen. Crook's troops," according to the wartime journal of Mary Jane Chadick. The school buildings were burned down by U.S. troops on November 26, 1864, and never reconstructed. Mrs. Chadick wrote: "They were burning the papers belonging to the provost marshal's office in the courthouse yard, and there was a great stir among the enemy generally. It is said that Rebel cavalry are hovering in the neighborhood, and that seven negro soldiers were killed today near the house of Charley Strong. The enemy all expect to get away by morning. The soldiers threaten to burn the town, and there is a strong guard out to prevent it. Green Academy is burning at this moment. Many families in town are left without a single servant, all gone to the Yankees. The country all around the depot is perfectly black with them."
The land was later used for the City School of Huntsville, at the intersection of Calhoun and East Clinton. The city built a wood-frame school there in the 1880s, and then a brick-built school in 1905, and East Clinton Elementary School was built on the site in 1938. The 1938 building has been preserved and was the site of Providence Classical School as of 2017.

Stara Kršlja is a village in Croatia.
History
In 1941, Ante Špoljarić was designated as its Ustaša zbirnik.
With the withdrawal of the Italians, the chances of a successful Serb rebellion increased. Shortly after the Drvar uprising, Božidar Cerovski, director of the Directorate of the Ustaša Police, arrived in Slunj, on the evening of 29 July 1941, along with an undetermined number of Ustaše from Zagreb for the removal of "undesirable elements". In the morning of the 30th, they broke up into several groups and walked through Serb inhabitted settlements with lists of such individuals, including in Stara Kršlja, detaining them and transporting them to Oštarski Stanovi, where they were executed on the order of Cerovski.

Veronica lycopodioides
|
Veronica lycopodioides, or whipchord hebe, is a species of hebe which is endemic to New Zealand.
Description
Veronica lycopodioides is a short, erect shrub with branches whose leaves grow close to the stem, causing the branches themselves to look scaly and green. The leaves are triangular, have a pointed tip, and may have hair on the margin which can be seen with a hand lens. White flowers, in groups of 6–16, burst from the tip of the terminal branches.
The pointed tips of the leaves can be used in the field to distinguish this species from Veronica poppelwellii.
A subspecies, Veronica lycopodioides var. patula, is smaller in most respects.
Distribution and habitat
Veronica lycopodioides grows on the South Island of New Zealand, typically to the east of the central spine of the Southern Alps. It grows on penalpine grassland, and in subalpine areas. It may grow on Stewart Island.
It is not currently considered threatened.
Etymology
Lycopodioides refers to the similarity of this species to Lycopodium club-mosses.
Taxonomy
This species was first published in 1864 by Joseph Hooker. The lectotype was designated in 2004, with a specimen from Wairau Valley.

Nuestra navidad
|
Nuestra navidad is the tenth studio album and first Christmas album by Chilean singer Myriam Hernández. It was released independently on December 2, 2022.
Background
Hernandez' first Christmas album released a few months after Sinergia, becoming her second studio album of 2022 (and marking first time in her career in which she released two albums in one year). The album comprises ten classic Christmas songs plus two original songs penned by Jacobo Calderón, who also produced Hernandez' previous record. The songs were recorded between studios in Miami and Madrid by Calderón and sound engineer Boris Milán, and featured the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra in strings, the same team involved in Sinergia.
About the conception of this album, Hernandez stated that it was "an idea that had been latent, and I owed it to myself for about 30 years. My manager always had it as a project, and I kept refusing to do it because I was not crazy about the idea of singing Christmas carols, until during the [COVID 19] pandemic we did a Christmas concert via streaming under the premise of accompanying the audience in their homes, and something magical happened [...] I became fascinated with the songs I chose for that occasion because I reconnected with some songs that were always part of my family celebrations, so it was very inspiring to work on my own versions".
In December 2023, the album was re-issued as a special edition featuring eight additional tracks.

Embassy of the Philippines, Pretoria
|
The Embassy of the Philippines in Pretoria is the diplomatic mission of the Republic of the Philippines to the Republic of South Africa. Opened in 1994, it is located at OMK House in the Nieuw Muckleneuk suburb of southeastern Pretoria, near the Austin Roberts Bird Sanctuary.
History
Diplomatic relations between the Philippines and South Africa were established in November 1993, during the presidency of Fidel V. Ramos, with a resident mission in the country being established in April 1994. Leonides T. Caday, at the time serving at the Philippine Embassy in Manama as ambassador to Bahrain, arrived in Pretoria two months later to serve as the Philippines' first ambassador to South Africa, presenting his credentials to the newly elected President Nelson Mandela on June 24, 1994.
The embassy's jurisdiction has expanded and shrunk over time. In 1996, with the appointment of Eloy R. Bello III as ambassador, the embassy's jurisdiction was widened to include Zambia, Namibia and Swaziland. Three years later with the appointment of Aladin G. Villacorte as ambassador, it was further expanded to include Mauritius, Botswana, Mozambique, Lesotho and Angola, with Zimbabwe being added later on, although Mauritius was subsequently transferred to the Philippine Embassy in Nairobi until 2015, when both it and Madagascar were placed under the embassy's jurisdiction. Angola was then transferred to the jurisdiction of the Philippine Embassy in Lisbon that same year.
Chancery
The chancery of the Philippine Embassy in Pretoria was initially located in a room of the Courtyard Hotel in Arcadia before relocating to the Southern Life Plaza Building in neighboring Hatfield two months later. On September 1, 2000, it relocated to 54 Nicolson Street in Muckleneuk.
On August 30, 2024, the embassy announced that it was relocating to Nieuw Muckleneuk, having expressed a desire to move the chancery to a more suitable building and location for conducting its activities. Operations at the chancery on Nicolson Street ended on August 25, 2024, and it officially relocated to the new chancery a week later on September 3, 2024. with its first clients being welcomed the following day.
Staff and activities
The Philippine Embassy in Pretoria is headed by Ambassador Noralyn J. Baja, who was appointed to the position by President Rodrigo Duterte on July 27, 2021. Prior to her appointment as ambassador, Baja, a career diplomat, served as Assistant Secretary for the United Nations and International Organizations at the Department of Foreign Affairs. Although her appointment was confirmed by the Commission on Appointments on September 1, 2021, she did not present her credentials to South African President Cyril Ramaphosa until March 14, 2023, by which time Duterte had been succeeded as president by Bongbong Marcos.
Many of the embassy's activities are focused on growing social, cultural and economic ties between the Philippines and South Africa, as well as ensuring the welfare of the some 4,000 Filipinos resident in the country. Among these include organizing and facilitating Philippine trade missions to South Africa, exhibiting Philippine culinary and cultural products, and facilitating the exit of Filipinos stranded in countries within its jurisdiction during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also holds regular consular missions and town halls in the various countries under its jurisdiction, as well as in cities within South Africa itself.
In 2008, the embassy protested an article published in the Cape Argus which claimed that horse fighting was a popular pastime in the Philippines, with officials countering that although the practice is traditional to some ethnic groups in Mindanao, the practice is largely illegal and prohibited by law.

1997 Burlington, Vermont mayoral election
|
On March 4, 1997, a mayoral election was held in Burlington, Vermont. Incumbent Progressive Coalition Mayor Peter Clavelle won reelection against three independent candidates.
Background
Peter Brownell's victory in the 1993 election against Progressive Coalition Mayor Peter Clavelle was the first time a Republican had won Burlington's mayoralty since Edward A. Keenan left office in 1965, and ended the Progressive's control over the mayoralty which started with Bernie Sanders' victory in the 1981 election.
However, Clavelle returned to office and defeated Brownell in the 1995 election. By the time of the 1997 election, the city council was composed of 6 Progressives, 5 Republicans, 2 Democrats, and an independent.
Nominations
Clavelle announced on December 2, 1996, that he would seek reelection and received the Progressive nomination without opposition on December 9.
The Democratic and Republican parties did not run candidates against Clavelle. John Patch, a Democratic candidate for city council, said the Democrats did not field a candidate as Clavelle "has been a pretty good Democrat". Kurt Wright declined to seek the Republican nomination.
Campaign
Clavelle, lacking any major party opponents, used campaign money to hold a party attended by Progressive city councilors. Steve Hingtgen was Clavelle's campaign manager and expected to spend 1/4th of what Clavelle spent in 1995. He and Peter Baker were the only paid members of Clavelle's staff. The campaign focused on aiding Progressive city council candidates win.
Independent candidates Beaudin, Brown, and Capps were Clavelle's only opponents. Beaudin and Brown ran in the 1995 election as well. Brown spent $600 on a fundraising event in the Contois Auditorium in January 1997, but it was attended by nobody except one TV news reporter. Maja Capps did not raise any money as he was against the idea. Beaudin was vacationing in Florida until ten days before the election.
A mayoral forum sponsored by the Burlington Waterfront Board was held on February 19.
Clavelle won the election with over 70% of the popular vote. In the concurrent city council elections the Progressives maintained their seats while the Republicans lost one to the Democrats.

Scott Street (Phoebe Bridgers song)
|
"Scott Street" is a 2017 song by American singer-songwriter Phoebe Bridgers. It is the sixth song on her debut studio album Stranger in the Alps. The song was co-written with ex-boyfriend and then-band drummer Marshall Vore.
A music video for "Scott Street" was released on September 6, 2018, a month before the release of Strangers in the Alps' deluxe edition.
Background
"Scott Street" is named after Scott Avenue, a road in Echo Park near the Bedrock L.A. practice facility where Bridgers used to store music equipment with Vore.
Bridgers stated that the song "is about being really lonely... Sometimes I want to cop out and say it's about a lot of different things, but really it's all there. It's just a diary."
Music video
In September of 2018, ahead of the re-release of Strangers in the Alps as a deluxe version, Bridgers released a music video for "Scott Street" which depicted countless doppelgängers of herself acted by people in identical wigs. The music video was directed by Alex Lill.
Critical reception
Consequence of Sound ranked "Scott Street" third in a list of the ten best Bridgers songs, calling it one of her "most beloved tracks from Stranger in the Alps" and remarking on its "beautiful portrait" and "very real feelings of isolation and exhausting." Similarly, Far Out Magazine ranked it third in a list of the ten saddest Bridgers songs, noting its "painful pang of nostalgia for childhood lost."
The Fader, in a profile of Bridgers, noted her fondness for Elliott Smith's music and compared "Scott Street" to "St. Ides Heaven," specifically for her usage of the lyric "open container" and songwriting around a lonesome walk down a street.
Uproxx observed Bridgers' acceptance of "mundane sadness (mixed with borderline alcoholism)" through the imagery of her "day-drinking alone in public" in "Scott Street," along with other songs on Strangers in the Alps, ultimately finding the record full of "comfort and empathy."
Other
The song was included on the soundtrack of Someone Great, a 2019 romcom film released on Netflix.
For Apple Music in August of 2021, Spacey Jane covered "Scott Street" alongside acoustic versions of two songs of their own.

The Milan barracks, more commonly known as the Assault on Avanti!, was an event that occurred in Milan on April 15, 1919: the attack on the editorial offices of the socialist daily newspaper Avanti! by nationalist, futurist, Arditi and fascist exponents.
The event, which must be placed in the context of the violent climate of the Biennio Rosso in the Kingdom of Italy, represented the culminating phase of a day of clashes between, on the one hand, socialist and anarchist demonstrators, and, on the other, nationalist counter-demonstrators, Arditi, futurists and exponents of the newly formed Fasci Italiani di Combattimento; the latter, with this squad-type action, obtained visibility at a national level for the first time.
Chronology
On April 15, 1919, a small group of bold and futurists led by the Sansepolcristi Ferruccio Vecchi and Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, despite the cancellation of the planned nationalist demonstration, gathered one by one in Piazza del Duomo and from there reached Piazza Cavour where about 200 nationalists had already gathered, almost all veterans and students. A procession was then formed which began to move from Piazza Cavour towards Piazza del Duomo. Finding itself dealing with a nationalist and a socialist procession, both unauthorised, which were moving through the centre of the city, the police did their best to hinder them so that they did not come into contact. The nationalist procession was split in two and only a small part reached Piazza del Duomo where they attended the rally of Alceste de Ambris and the liberal Candiani, while of the socialist procession, which was also split in two, only the head reached very close to the Duomo, in Via Mercanti.
The police set up new cordons, but the two opposing groups passed through them and came into contact, giving rise to clashes that were easily won by the nationalists, whose core consisted of army officer cadets from the Polytechnic led by lieutenant Mario Chiesa; the nationalists, who were armed, dispersed their opponents with gunshots. Three workers were killed in the clashes: the young nineteen-year-old socialist Teresa Galli, the eighteen-year-old Pietro Bogni and the sixteen-year-old Giuseppe Luccioni, all hit by gunshots to the head, around thirty were wounded. Having thus put their opponents to flight, the nationalists continued their charge, overwhelming the demonstrators who had stopped in Via Dante, chasing them up to the Castello Sforzesco.
Once the procession had been recomposed, the demonstrators, led by Chiesa, Marinetti and Vecchi, headed towards the Avanti! headquarters in Via San Damiano, which was also surrounded by a cordon of about 100 soldiers. The police resisted the pressure of the demonstrators, until a gunshot, almost certainly fired from the windows of Avanti! fatally hit Martino Speroni, one of the soldiers involved in the security cordon. At that point the soldiers gave way to the Arditi and were partly overwhelmed by them. The squadristi, led by the captain of the Arditi Ferruccio Vecchi, assaulted the building, whose occupants fled after attempting a brief resistance with revolver shots. According to Mimmo Franzinelli (who however does not cite any source for this news) "three socialists" were killed in the assault, Pietro Bogni, Giuseppe Lucioni and Ambrogio Franchina. Instead, according to an internal PSI report immediately following the events, Bogni was a bourgeois killed in the clashes in via Dante and Lucioni was a soldier killed in unclear circumstances. According to the squadrista and futurist Edmondo Daquanno, in fact, during the assault on the Avanti! the occupants of the building had all fled from an exit far from via San Damiano, and the Arditi devastated the empty building.
The headquarters of Avanti! was devastated, the Arditi destroyed the machinery and set fire to the premises. After having removed the newspaper's wooden sign and chanting «», the demonstrators returned to the Piazza del Duomo and the column dissolved.
Some relics resulting from the looting of the editorial office of the socialist newspaper were brought as a gift to Mussolini on the same day at the headquarters of «». Milan was declared under a state of siege. The Socialist leadership recommended that calm be maintained and further incidents avoided. The police forcefully broke up some spontaneous protest demonstrations, and arrested 75 workers in Piazzale Loreto who had not respected the ban on assemblies. The strike proclaimed by the Socialist Party ended on April 16. Avanti! launched a public subscription, which less than three weeks later allowed the newspaper to be published again with improvised means (while the new headquarters of the newspaper was then inaugurated on May 1, 1920, with a large popular demonstration).
According to the prefect of Milan, elements of socialist extremism in those days planned the assassination of Mussolini. Interviewed a few days later by «», Mussolini attributed the initiative of the squadrist action to the Arditi and the Futurists, but nevertheless assumed moral responsibility, on behalf of the fascists:
A few days later, the Minister of War, Lieutenant General Enrico Caviglia, received Marinetti and Vecchi in Milan, praising them and appreciating their action against the "subversives".
The inspector general of the Italian Socialist Party Giovanni Gasti later conducted an investigation into the conflicts of April 15 and the behaviour of the police forces; in his report, Gasti explained how the men of the patrol who had the task of guarding the editorial offices of Avanti! and defending it from the attack of the nationalists "did not put up a resistance to the bitter end, nor did they use the muscular force with which they would have overcome a crowd made up of bourgeois elements" since among the attackers there were many veterans and also officers in service, towards whom the soldiers and the carabinieri felt a bond of "respect" and "subordination".
After the attack on April 15, the industrialists of Milan collected the sum (enormous for the time) of 10,000 lire which was divided among the participants and decided to increase the amount of funding for the Arditi, considered by them as a valid body for the protection of the interests of the employers.

Timeline
2025
February 27: The Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario under Doug Ford wins a third majority government in the 44th Ontario general election.
Ridings
The Electoral Boundaries Act, 2015 increased the number of electoral districts from 107 to 122, following the boundaries set out by the federal 2013 Representation Order for Ontario, while preserving the special boundaries of the 11 seats in Northern Ontario set out in the 1996 redistribution.
The Far North Electoral Boundaries Commission, appointed in 2016, recommended the creation of the additional districts of Kiiwetinoong and Mushkegowuk—James Bay, carved out from the existing Kenora—Rainy River and Timmins—James Bay ridings, which accordingly raised the total number of seats to 124. This was implemented through the Representation Statute Law Amendment Act, 2017.
With the 2022 Canadian federal electoral redistribution, Ontario was allotted 1 additional seat in the House of Commons. On August 1, 2024, Premier Ford announced that Ontario would break with recent tradition and not adopt the federal electoral boundary changes for the 2025 provincial election.
Ontario does not have legislation in place for a scheduled review of electoral districts and boundaries, and any changes to boundaries would require new legislation.

Saou Ichikawa
|
is a Japanese writer. She is best known for her debut novel Hunchback, for which she won the Akutagawa Prize in 2023.
Biography
Ichikawa was born in 1979. She has congenital myopathy and uses a wheelchair and a respirator. She has an older sister, who also has congenital myopathy. She decided to become a novelist at age 20, as she felt her career options were limited due to her disability. She first began to write light novels, but grew discouraged after a light novel she wrote failed to win a prize, and decided to instead write serious fiction. She graduated from Waseda University.
At university, she began to research the representation of disabled people in literature, which inspired the writing of her novel Hunchback, about a profoundly disabled woman, Izawa, who pays her male caretaker to have sex with her. Hunchback was published in 2023. The novel was well-received: it sold 230,000 copies; Japan Times described it as "dark and funny". She is the first disabled writer to win the Akutagawa Prize. Novelist Keiichiro Hirano, who was on the jury for the Akutagawa Prize for that year, stated that the book "knocks down conventional wisdom and common sense centered on able-bodied people". Viking Press acquired the English rights to the novel, and a translation by Polly Barton was released in 2025. The translation received starred reviews from both Publishers Weekly and Kirkus Reviews, both of which praised the social commentary of the novel. The English translation was longlisted for the International Booker Prize; the judges praised Hunchback for its criticism of ableism and sexism.

ATV Sur
|
ATV Sur is a Peruvian over-the-air television channel, owned by the Grupo ATV. It was launched in its current form on November 10, 2011, and broadcasts from Arequipa to the south of the country via over-the-air signals and as a national subscription television channel. It is the first television station outside of Lima to broadcast its signal via satellite.
History
The idea of founding a television channel by Arequipa businessman Enrique Mendoza Núñez arose in 1984 with the creation of the Compañía de Radiodiversión Arequipa Sociedad Anónima (CRASA), which broadcast its first test signal in February 1986 on channel 8 of the VHF band. Having complied with the requirements of the Law, on August 8 of the same year, it began to officially broadcast under the name Canal 8 Arequipa, to compete with Canal 2 of Arequipa (subsidiary of Panamericana Televisión) and Televisión Continental (channel 6, subsidiary of América Televisión). It was the first subsidiary of Andina de Televisión in Arequipa until 1998. Therefore, its corporate image was inspired by that of channel 9 in Lima.
In 1994, Canal 8 expanded its coverage in other cities in the south of the country within the UHF band. On February 28, 1996, by a resolution of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC), the channel moved to channel 9 and changed its name to El Canal de Arequipa. In 1997, CRASA and Norperuana de Radiodimisiones ceased to be subsidiaries of Andina de Televisión, rented VHF frequency 11 in Lima (RBC Televisión) and formed Austral Televisión, a channel that began broadcasting in 1998. However, Austral was dissolved in 2002 due to internal problems.
Thus, in 2003, channel 9 of Arequipa became independent and two years later, on January 31, 2005, it was renamed Perú TV and became the first regional channel to broadcast via satellite. However, in 2007, the owning family clashed with the National Institute of Radio and Television of Peru over the rights to the trademark.
On October 18, 2011, the Mendoza-Del Solar family sold all of their shares in the channel to Grupo ATV for S/.7 million. Days after the purchase was completed, the relaunch of the channel as ATV Sur was announced and would focus its transmissions on the south of the country. When Grupo ATV acquired channel 9 (Perú TV), it ceased regional production on channel 5 (ATV) and moved the entire operations center of Grupo ATV to the Cayma location.
On November 10, 2011, the channel officially changed its name to ATV Sur, in a ceremony with the presence of directors such as Marcello Cúneo and main stars of Grupo ATV such as Magaly Medina and Pilar Higashi. For his part, Enrique Mendoza del Solar continued as general manager of the television station.
ATV Sur began broadcasting content previously seen by ATV and Global TV, while some programs that were broadcast by Perú TV continued to air, including TV Noticias, Nuevo Día Magazine, Línea de fuego, Fantabuloso, Mesa Round and Bienvenidos al sabor.
In 2012, the channel began to broadcast programming from other Albavisión outlets it had the rights to in Peru, such as American series, films and Colombian and Argentine telenovelas that, at the time, were also broadcast on its sister channel La Tele. As a result, the channel's original programming disappeared over time.3 Then, the ATV Group, through a judicial measure, entered into litigation with the Lima channel RBC Televisión to obtain control of Channel 11 of Lima.
In July 2013, Enrique Sifuentes Martínez assumed leadership of ATV Sur as General Manager. Subsequently, it would abandon its web portal to go to the Tuteve.tv portal (ATV Group's portal). Then, said channel stops broadcasting movies.
On June 26, 2014, ATV Sur launched its high definition signal on DTT exclusively for Lima and Callao, on virtual channel 23.1.
Since 2017, it began broadcasting some miscellaneous programs simultaneously with the ATV+ channel. Starting that year, ATV Sur increased the broadcast hours of American series in its programming. On the other hand, it did not stop transmitting via streaming.
In 2018, ATV Sur began its DTT broadcasts in the cities of Zone 2, after the ATV Group subchannels in those areas were separated into 2 multiplex signals.

Blanche Burton-Lyles
|
Blanche Henrietta Burton-Lyles (March 2, 1933 – November 20, 2018) was an American pianist, music educator, and historian. She was the protégé of the opera singer Marian Anderson, and went on to establish the Marian Anderson Museum and Historical Society.
Early life and education
Burton-Lyles was born on March 2, 1933, in Philadelphia to Anthony Burton and Anna Blanche Taylor Burton. Her father worked for the United States Postal Service and sang in the choir at Union Baptist Church, where Burton-Lyles late met opera singer Marian Anderson. Her mother was a piano teacher and accompanist at the church.
Considered a child prodigy, she was admitted to the Curtis Institute of Music in 1944, at the age of eleven, where she studied with Isabelle Vengerova. That same year, she played with the Philadelphia Concert Orchestra, the first African-American symphony orchestra, at Scottish Rite Temple.
In November 1947, after winning the Young Audiences Competition, she became the first African-American woman to perform at Carnegie Hall with the New York Philharmonic, conducted by Rudolph Ganz.
Burton-Lyles graduated from the Curtis Institute of Music in 1954, becoming the school's first African-American graduate with a degree in piano. In 1971, she earned a bachelor's degree in music education from Temple University.
Career
After completing her studies at the Curtis Institute, Burton-Lyles began a career in music with a performance with the New Haven Symphony at Yale University. This was followed by recitals in the United Kingdom, Spain, and the United States throughout the 1950s and 1960s. During this period, she also accompanied the Leroy Bostic and the Mellow Aires ensemble.
In the early 1960s, Burton-Lyles began working as a school teacher under the Philadelphia Board of Education. She retired from teaching in 1993 and founded the Marian Anderson Historical Society, where she served as president and chief executive officer. She acquired Anderson's residence in 1998 and birthplace in 2000.
Awards
Burton-Lyles received many awards throughout her career, including the Shirley Chisholm Philadelphia Political Congress of Black Women Award for Achievement in Music in 1994 and the National Black Music Caucus Award for Outstanding Women in Music in 1995.

Peace Over Violence is a Los Angeles, California based social service agency dedicated to the elimination of sexual and domestic violence and all forms of interpersonal violence. Peace Over Violence is a 501(c)3 nonprofit and services are provided for free to survivors and their families.
Programs and advocacy
VoyageLA Magazine said, "Peace Over Violence is known for its longstanding innovative, cutting-edge interventions and healing modalities" that is unique in its comprehensive wraparound services to victim survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, child abuse, and stalking, including a 24-hour crisis hotline, trauma-informed counseling, group therapy, case management, housing and legal assistance, and accompaniment for survivors through the aftermath of their abuse or assault (including in court and at the hospital).

Peace Over Violence was founded in 1971, under the name The Los Angeles Commission on Assault Against Women (LACAAW). In 2006, the organization was renamed to Peace Over Violence, "positioning the agency as a leader in the field of family violence and representing an all-inclusive call to action to rally people behind a larger social movement. 'Peace Over Violence' offers a constant reminder that building healthy relationships, families and communities free from sexual, domestic and interpersonal violence is achievable."
Peace Over Violence is run by Executive Director Patti Giggans, who, as of 2024, has been there for over forty years.

Patrick M. Brenner
|
Patrick M. Brenner is an American political commentator, policy analyst, consumer advocate, and public speaker. He is the President of the Southwest Public Policy Institute (SPPI), a research institute focused on economic freedom, government accountability, financial inclusivity, and fair credit access.
Career
Brenner formerly worked for the Rio Grande Foundation before launching the Southwest Public Policy Institute in 2022. He has published in Fox News, The Hill, National Review, The Washington Times, American Banker, Albuquerque Journal, The Santa Fe New Mexican, and others.
Brenner has been a vocal advocate for consumer choice and credit inclusivity in financial services. He has led research on consumer emulation, a practice that allows individuals with limited credit histories to access financial products by demonstrating responsible payment behaviors. Brenner has argued that alternative credit models and financial technology innovations can expand access to credit for underserved communities, countering restrictive regulations that may limit consumer options.
His work has been cited in discussions on the impact of regulatory policies on small-dollar lending, credit access, and financial technology.
Controversy
In January 2025, Brenner was accused by Jaime Estrada, a former campaign manager for Gov. Susana Martinez, of harassment on social media during the opening of New Mexico's 60-day legislative session. Estrada, who previously served prison time for making false statements to federal investigators and that day was a guest of Sen. Jay C. Block, claimed that Brenner took photos of guest badges and conversations on the Senate floor, which were later posted on a parody account on X (formerly Twitter). Brenner denied the allegations, stating that Estrada's criminal history raised credibility concerns.

Élise Thérèse Gamassa
|
Élise Thérèze Gamassa, née M'Boumba (February 3, 1942 – September 23, 2023) was a Congolese politician who campaigned for women's rights in the Congo.
Teaching career
Thérèze Gamassa came from a modest family in Sibiti. She studied at the teacher training college in Mouyondzi (Bouenza) and then worked at the École des cadres in Brazzaville from 1962 to 1974, then at the École Félix-Tchikaya in Pointe-Noire until 1976. She inspired vocations in young people, especially girls.
As a young woman, she joined the Union générale des étudiants du Congo (UGEC).
Political career
President of UFPC
After the revolution of August 13–15, 1963, Gamassa presided over the Pan-African Women's Union (UFPA), which soon disappeared.
She then joined the Revolutionary Union of Congolese Women (URFC), where she was in charge of the education department, which enabled her to support the cause of women. Then, in support of the February 5 movement in 1979, she became president of the movement, where she served for 12 years until 1984.
In July 1991, Pascal Lissouba created the Pan-African Union for Social Democracy (UPADS) and offered the presidency and honorary presidency to her husband Pascal Gamassa.
President of the PCT
From 1984 to 1991, Gamassa was a member of the Central Committee of the Congolese Party of Labour (PCT). This enabled her to pursue her mission as General Secretary of the URFC.
In 1990, after the 4th PCT Congress, she joined the PCT's political bureau, where she campaigned for women's rights in the Congo.
On January 19, 2010, she was appointed to the organizing committee for the fiftieth anniversary of the Republic of the Congo's independence.
From July 28 to 31, 2010, she coordinated the National Women's Forum in Brazzaville, following which she published the book La place et le rôle des femmes dans la société congolaise de 1960 à 2010 : bilan et perspectives with Jeanne Dambendzet and Scholastique Dianzinga in Paris, published by L'Harmattan. The aim of the book is to provide the country's women with the tools they need to educate the next generation, cope with everyday life and fight for their rights.
Gamassa's dedication has led to comparisons with the figure of Mother Dorcas, as her commitment to her six children was as much political as familial. She is also remembered as a woman who did her "duty to speak out," in the words of Martial De-Paul Ikounga.

Early life
Frazier was born on October 5, 2000, in Cedartown, Georgia. He attended Cedartown High School where he competed in football, basketball and track and field. He was an all-region selection as a junior, then an honorable mention all-area and first-team all-region selection as a senior in 2019. He committed to play college football for the Southern Illinois Salukis, the lone team to give him an offer.
College career
Frazier appeared in four games for Southern Illinois in 2019, then transferred to Coffeyville Community College for the 2020 season. With the Coffeyville Red Ravens in 2020, he totaled nine tackles and three interceptions while being named second-team all-conference. He then made 26 tackles and placed 10th in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) with 11 pass breakups in 2021, being named first-team all-conference and a first-team junior college All-American.
Frazier was a highly-regarded junior college recruit and initially committed to the Kentucky Wildcats before flipping to the UTSA Roadrunners, becoming UTSA's highest-ranked recruit in program history. However, he saw limited action in the 2022 season due to issues in learning the team's playbook. He then faced academic issues in 2023 that led to him being inactive until the ninth game, serving as the scout team wide receiver. He returned for a final year in 2024 and had a breakout season, setting the school record and placing second nationally with six interceptions. He was named first-team All-American Athletic Conference (AAC) and third-team All-American by Phil Steele, as well as first-team All-Texas by Dave Campbell's Texas Football.

Battle of Jebel Moya
|
The Battle of Jebel Moya was the 3-month battle over the strategically important area of Jebel Moya in the Sennar State during the Sudanese civil war. It saw the area be initially taken over by the RSF in June 2024 for around 3 months before it was recaptured by SAF in October of the same year. The recapture of Jebel Moya was the main reason of the start of SAF offensives in other areas in the state due to its strategic supply route.
Background
On April 15, 2023, RSF forces attacked SAF units and took control of various areas around Sudan, including in that capital of Khartoum, beginning the Sudanese civil war. The RSF would go on to take control of Wad Madani and much of the Gezira State, allowing them to launch attacks on to the Sennar State.
The Jebel Moya area is important due to its strategic location between 3 major army bases, the 17th infantry division and 265th air force brigade in Sennar in the east, the 18th infantry division in Kosti in the west, and the 1st infantry division which used to be in Wad Madani, but had to be stationed in El Manaqil after the city fell on December 19, 2025. The area also is the only connection for the SAF's supply routes between the southern Gezira State and the White Nile State as the Omdurman - Kosti route was cut by RSF units in Southern Omdurman and Jabal Awliya.
Timeline
The SAF claimed to have full control over the area on May 3, but this was denied by the RSF. It was later found that while the RSF had a presence in the area, it was largely under SAF control. The RSF then launched an early morning attack on SAF positions in the area. These clashes resulted in an unknown amount of civilian casualties.
On June 25, 2024, the RSF and SAF began clashing over the area again. the SAF initially claimed that they repelled the attack and were also able to retake control of the Sennar Sugar Factory. However, the RSF claimed to have taken control of Jebel Moya after a 7 hour long battle and advanced onto Singa. The U.N.'s International Organization for Migration reported that 1,455 people fled from their homes. The SAF's 18th Infantry Division had to retreat west to Jabal Dud and maintained their position there. This also allowed the RSF to carry out attacks on the city of Sennar and they were able to take control of the capital of Singa.
After taking control, locals reported that the RSF killed over 20 individuals and looted homes and properties in the area. On June 26, the SAF claimed to have repulsed an attack by an RSF convoy consisting of 7 vehicles. During battles on June 27, the leader of the Al-Bara' ibn Malik Battalion's Sennar Sector, Ahmed Awad Bashir, was killed in the fighting. Fighting between both sides and airstrikes by the SAF on paramilitary positions were reported on June 29.
On July 15, 2024, the SAF launched airstrikes on RSF positions in the area. The RSF also shot anti-aircraft missiles at the Kenana Airport. On July 2, the Sudanese Foreign Ministry claimed the RSF carried out a massacre and killed over 40 people in areas around Sennar, including villages around Jebel Moya.
On October 3, as part of a larger counteroffensive that began on September 26, the SAF and RSF began fighting again, with the SAF retaking the villages of Fangoga and Jebel El Aawar in the Southeast and Jabal Sagadi in the northwest and forcing the RSF back to Jebel Moya. The SAF carried out at least 4 consecutive attacks on the RSF over the following 4 days. The SAF's plan was for the 18th Infantry Division to advance westwards from Jabal Dud, and the 17th Infantry Division, backed by the General Intelligence Service's Anti-Terrorism Force, to advance eastwards from Sennar and for them to meet in Jebel Moya.
On October 5, the SAF claimed to have fully retaken Jebel Moya, claiming to have taken control of the Al-Blijab and Fanquqa Al-Jabal areas. This cut off the RSF's supply lines for its units in Singa, Dinder, and the rest of the Sennar State. The Anti-Terrorism Forces helped the SAF sweep the area, killing 50 RSF fighters and destroying 15 vehicles. The SAF also seized a large amount of ammunition and weapons that had been supplied to the RSF by the UAE in the area, though the UAE denied supplying them. Hemedti, the leader of the RSF, later admitted defeat but also claimed that the Egyptian Air Force had dropped American bombs onto RSF targets in the area from 3 am to 10 am local time, though Egypt denied this.
Aftermath
After its recapture, Abdel Fattah Al Burhan came by helicopter and was seen inspecting troops in the region.
The recapture of the area cut off the RSF's supply lines to the rest of the Sennar State, and led to further RSF defeats in Dinder, Singa, and the rest of the area. By 2025, the RSF would be pushed back to only a few villages in Sennar, including Mazmum, and there have been very few clashes.

Tauro (album)
|
Tauro is the eleventh studio album by Chilean singer Myriam Hernández. It was released independently on January 18, 2024.
Background
Tauro is the third album by Hernandez produced by Jacobo Calderón, whom she described as her current "artistic ally". The album title, apart from referencing Hernández's astrological sign, was chosen because it represented "the strength, personality, determination, and temperament" of the record.
The album was preceded by the singles "Nos lo hemos dicho todo", "Invencible", "Solo cuídate y adiós", and "Con los cinco sentidos", which amassed over 11 million streams on YouTube and Spotify. In addition to the singles, the album included six previously unreleased songs. Each song was accompanied by its own music video, which was made available on Hernandez' official YouTube channel.
About the creative process for each song, Hernandez commented "The songs come to life gradually. I let them flow a bit through intuition, through feeling. With "Nos lo hemos dicho todo", the song probably crossed my mind earlier, but it was born at that [specific] moment. The creative process generates stories. That's often linked to things that happen to me, to others, or even to Jacobo himself. Sometimes, by sharing those experiences, songs are created".
Similar to her previous two albums since Hernandez began releasing music independently, Tauro was only released on digital format. In this respect, Hernandez expressed a sense of nostalgia for physical albums, and acknowledged that there are people who also miss the experience of buying records. However, she appreciated that nowadays it is possible to upload songs to streaming platforms and be nearly instantaneously connected with her audience. Hernández expressed her feelings on how this shift has created a sense of greater closeness and global interconnectedness, stating that "When we release something, people from all over are enjoying it simultaneously. Today, there’s more closeness, more globalization, and that’s something to be grateful for".
Critical reception
Writing for Expectador Magazine, music journalist Felipe León stated that Tauro "reclaims [Hernandez'] most classic and sophisticated style, where various interpretations of love coexist, filled with drama and untamed passion. These are distinctive elements when conveying bittersweet emotions immersed in melancholy and the fire of memory, alongside more upbeat songs. The singer is essential for inhabiting these pieces due to her vast musical experience". According to León, although Hernández does not stray far from her usual adult contemporary style, this album stands out for the vitality of its tracks, gaining emotional power that is hard to ignore. He deemed "Como el aire", "Nos lo hemos dicho todo" and "Solo cuídate y adiós" as highlights on the album.

Uranio TV
|
Uranio TV was a Peruvian over-the-air television channel whose programming consisted of video clips of various genres.
History
The channel was launched on November 21, 1994, as Uranio 15 on channel 15 of the UHF band in Lima. It was founded by Julio Vera Abad, and was operated by the company Alliance S.A.C. until its closure. Its programming was made up of video clips of various genres, which were broadcast in both English and Spanish. The station gave preference to fashionable groups and artists. Its daily broadcasts ended at 8:00 p.m.; From that time on, it began to broadcast international programs such as Videomatch, Black power, El show de Yuly, Uranio en la noticia and the adult programs Cueros and Cuerpos Calientes.
Between 1998 and 2002, Uranio 15 gained fame for including emerging Peruvian cumbia artists in its musical offering. Uranio resorted to the format of home videos produced for artists in exchange for promoting them commercially. On December 6, 1999, Uranio 15 changed its programming and presented a new slogan: "Look how it sounds". In addition, it added Quality Products telesales spaces and repetitions of certain programs between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and 11:00 a.m. The station had VJs, including Óscar Gayoso, Raúl Francia and Chris Milligan; while on Sundays it included an interview slot.
In 2001, the channel was relaunched as Uranio TV and included more genres in its programming, such as merengue, salsa, bachata, tecno, Eurodance, pachanga, children's music, among others.
Between 2003 and 2005, Uranio TV began to lay off its VJs and refocused its programming again on fashionable genres, which at that time were axé, reggaeton, Latin pop, pop and alternative rock. By 2006, the channel began to promote voting for video clips by SMS. In 2007, in the middle of the year, with the massification of Peruvian cumbia, Uranio TV began to rebroadcast old video clips of cumbia and tecnocumbia in concert.
Uranio TV officially ceased broadcasting on August 15, 2008, without prior notice. A few months later, that same year, the station began broadcasting on a test signal without a commercial name, transmitting old videos automatically and without an announcer. After the purchase of Grupo ATV by Albavisión, the channel was relaunched as La Tele on January 7, 2009, as a test station, with programming refocused on telenovelas focused on female audiences.
It reappeared in November 2012, through channel 39 UHF, temporarily, during the dispute between Grupo ATV and RBC Televisión over channel 11 of the VHF band in Lima. According to ATV officials, the Group planned to take over frequency 11 and use it to relaunch Uranio TV, since it had previously rented the signal through CRASA (currently, ATV Sur). However, once the Supreme Court rules in favor of RBC, Uranio TV permanently disappears and its signal on channel 39 UHF is used to launch the ATV+ channel within Lima's digital terrestrial television, on virtual subchannel 8.1.

Gorontalo Sultanate
|
Gorontalo Sultanate, formerly known as the Hulontalo Kingdom (Gorontalo: Pohala'a Hulontalo), is one of the oldest kingdom's in the Northern Peninsula of Sulawesi island, and the most influential in the entire Tomini Bay, Indonesia. This kingdom is located in the central part of the northern arm of the island of Sulawesi, and is flanked by two strategic waters, namely Gorontalo Bay in the south and Celebes Sea in the north.
History
During its heyday, the Gorontalo Sultanate became the center for the spread of Islam and the most influential trading center in the region, with the area of the Sultanate covering the Gorontalo Peninsula to the Tomini Bay (Gorontalo Bay), to the end of Sausu, Parigi Moutong in Tomini-Bocht (Tomini Bay), to several areas in the north and center of Sulawesi island.
The Kingdom of Gorontalo then changed to an Islamic Kingdom during the reign of Amai, who then changed to the title of sultan. Sultan Amai whose title is Ta Olongia Lopo Isilamu ('King who Islamized the country') is Olongia or the first king of the Gorontalo Kingdom who convert to Islam.
Spread of Islam era
The Gorontalo Sultanate was one of the centers for the spread of Islam in eastern Indonesia, besides the Ternate Sultanate, Gowa Sultanate, and Bone Sultanate. The spread of Islam in Gorontalo is estimated to have begun in the 16th century (between 1501 and 1600), marked by the conversion of one of the kings of Gorontalo, named Amai, to Islam. Amai then changed the title of king to sultan, so that his name was widely remembered as Sultan Amai of Gorontalo.
One of the references to the entry of Islam into Gorontalo comes from the explanation of Ibrahim Polontalo, where the marriage between King (Olongia) Amai and Princess Owutango from the Palasa Kingdom. The Islamic religion adopted by the Palasa (Kumonjolo) Kingdom originates from the blood relationship of the kingdom with the rulers of the Ternate Sultanate. In this marriage, King Amai and his followers were required to convert to Islam and the Al-Qur'an as the main source of the order of life and customs of the Gorontalo people.
After the proposal was accepted, Amai, who later had the title sultan, returned to Gorontalo with his wife, Owutango. They were accompanied by 8 small kings (Olongia Walu Lontho Otolopa), namely kings of Tamalate, Lemboo, Siyendeng, Hulangato, Siduan, Sipayo, Soginti, and Bunuyo. It was these little kings who later helped Sultan Amai in guiding and designing customs that were guided by the Islamic religion.
Ilomata Wopato
In the historical manuscript records of the kingdoms in Gorontalo, There are four eras or golden ages of Gorontalo civilization known as Ilomata Wopato.
Ilomata Wopato literally means four masterpieces (wopato means 'four' and ilomata means 'masterpieces'). During the four rulers, the Gorontalo Kingdom was led by a wise and prudent king, until finally the kingdom turned into a sultanate based on the teachings of the Islamic religion. In that era, governance and social life were regulated in such a way that the people became prosperous and well-off.
Ilomata Wopato is in four eras with a time span around the 14th century during the leadership of King Ilahudu, 15th century under the leadership of Sultan Amai, 17th century under the leadership of Sultan Eato, and 18th century under the leadership of Sultan Botutihe.
Capital of sultanate
The capital of the Gorontalo Sultanate was originally located in Hulawa, present in Telaga district, precisely on the banks of the Bolango River. Then in 1024 Hijra, the capital of the Gorontalo Sultanate was moved to the Tuladenggi. The last capital of the Gorontalo Sultanate located in Biawu.
Government structure
The government structure of the Gorontalo Sultanate consists of three institutions called Buatulo Towulongo which are interpreted as three sets of unified customs. Buatulo Towulongo consists of:
Buatulo Bubato, government institutions
Buatulo Sara'a, religious institutions
Buatulo Bala, defense and security institutions
Each representative of Buatulo will be chosen through deliberation and consensus by the Buatulo Bantayo which is headed by a bate. In addition, Buatulo Bantayo is also tasked with creating customary regulations and outlines of the goals of the sultanate.
Territory areas
The Gorontalo Sultanate has sovereign territory that borders the kingdoms of Limboto, Suwawa, and Bolango. But it also controlled several other small kingdoms, such as Kwandang, Boalemo, and Tolinggula, each led by a jogugu.
However, the influence and territory of the Gorontalo Sultanate extended beyond the borders of the kingdoms, even to the waters of Tomini Bay (Gorontalo Bay) to Sausu in Tomini-Bocht.
The current territory of the Gorontalo Sultanate is present within the territory of Gorontalo City, and some others are in the areas of Gorontalo Regency, Pohuwato Regency, and North Gorontalo Regency in Gorontalo Province.
Origins
According to the Gorontalo historical manuscript, the origins of the Gorontalo Kingdom first began from a small kingdom (Linula) called the Hulontalangi, which is estimated to have been standing since 1300s. In R. Tacco's notes (1956), at that time the Hulontalangi was led by King Humalanggi. Later, Humalanggi had a son named Ilahudu who then embraced and united 17 small kingdoms on the slopes or foot of the mountain. These 17 small kingdoms later formed the Gorontalo Kingdom, whose influence became greater and spread to several areas in Tomini Bay (Gorontalo Bay).
Apart from that, the Gorontalo Kingdom has long recognized the position of the female rule or queen as the leader of the kingdom. This shows that since ancient times, the Gorontalo people have recognized equality between men and women in the kingdom.
List of Gorontalo kingdoms
The union of 17 small kingdoms (Linula) which became the forerunner to the formation of the Gorontalo Kingdom is as follows:
Hunginaa Kingdom, led by King Lihawa
Lupoyo Kingdom, led by King Pai
Bilinggata Kingdom, led by King Lou
Wuwabu Kingdom, led by King Wahumolongo
Biawu Kingdom, led by King Wolango Huladu
Padengo Kingdom, led by King Palanggo
Huwangobotu Olowala Kingdom, led by King Dawanggi
Tapa Kingdom, led by King Deyilohiyo Daa
Lauwonu Kingdom, led by Queen Bongohulawa
Toto Kingdom, led by Queen Tilopalani
Dumati Kingdom, led by King Buata
Ilotidea Kingdom, led by King Tamau
Pantungo Kingdom, led by King Ngobuto
Panggulo Kingdom, led by King Hungiyelo
Huangobotu Oloyihi Kingdom, led by King Lealini
Tamboo Kingdom, led by Queen Dayilombuto
Hulontalangi Kingdom, led by King Ilahudu
Naming and etymology
In the Dutch colonial era, the Gorontalo Sultanate itself had many names mentioned in various historical literature, included in the correspondence between the Dutch and the Sultans of Gorontalo at that time. Other names for the Gorontalo Kingdom that have been found in various scientific reference sources and print media since the 1800s, include Goenong-Talo, Goenong-Tello, and Holontalo.
In historical records, the origin of the name Gorontalo itself has many versions. However, the origin of the name Gorontalo which is most in accordance with historical facts is that it comes from the words Huidu Totolu 'three mountains', which was then absorbed by various colonial era literature as Goenong-Talo or Goenong-Tello. This historical explanation was clearly stated by Jusuf Sjarif Badudu in the book Morfologi Bahasa Gorontalo in 1982.
In his book, Badudu explains that the Three Mountains which are the origin of the name Gorontalo refer to Mount Tilonggabila (Tilongkabila), Mount Malenggalila, and a third unnamed mountain. These three mountains are what in the Gorontalo language are called Huidu Totolu which was later absorbed into Hulonthalo or Goenong-Talo, until finally it became known as Gorontalo as it is today.
List of rulers
The leadership of the Gorontalo Sultanate is divided into three phases, the initial phase is the early kingdom, the second phase is Olongia To Tilayo, and the final phase is Olongia To Huliyaliyo, which marks the end of Gorontalo sovereignty.

Souad Kassim Mohamed (born 30 November 1976) is a Djiboutian linguist, scholar and playwright.
Biography
Mohamed was born in 1976. She studied in France at Jean Monnet University in Saint-Etienne, the University of Burgundy in Dijon, and the Institut National des Langues et Civilisations Orientales (INALCO) in Paris.
She has researched the cultural practices of Yemeni migrants in Ambouli, Djibouti, putting forward the theory that Ambouli Yemenis have taken a form of "social revenge" by studying French to become officials and landowners. Djibouti was formerly a French colony and attracted migration, particularly that of merchants, in the 20th century. Mohamed has also studied trends in oral traditions in the Horn of Africa.
Mohamed has critiqued literary stereotypes of the sterile and cursed woman, through writing the play Un enfant a tout prix (A Child at Any Price), which explores the common belief that infertility in marriage must be the woman's problem.
With Marine Larocca of the French Institute of Djibouti, Mohamed published Teaching French in secondary schools in Djibouti: What place for linguistic variation? She has contributed to publications including Al-Shajarah: Journal of the International Institute of Islamic Thought and Civilisation (ISTAC).
She works as a senior lecturer in linguistics and French didactics at the University of Djibouti.

XOB

XOB, also known as N-[(4-phenylbutoxy)hexyl]-4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, is a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonist and voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) blocker of the phenethylamine and 2C families. It is a derivative of 2C-B in which the amine-containing side chain has been extended with the same long group found in salmeterol.
The drug is of relatively low potency as a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor antagonist. It shows modest selectivity for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor over the serotonin 5-HT2B and 5-HT2C receptors. XOB was accidentally found to have local anesthetic properties upon contact with human skin, which led to the elucidation of its sodium channel-blocking activity.
XOB was developed in part by researchers at the Alexander Shulgin Research Institute (ASRI).

Zonaria aureomarginata
|
Zonaria aureomarginata is a species of brown algae in the family Dictyotaceae. It was originally described in 1998. It is endemic to New Zealand. Z. aureomarginata can be found near Manawatāwhi / Three Kings Islands, the North Island, the northern parts of the South Island as well as at the Chatham Islands. It inhabits the intertidal zone to the upper subtital zone at depths of between 1 and 5m and can be found on rugged reefs as well as in exposed coastal tidal pools. As at 2019 this species has a New Zealand Threat classification status of "Not Threatened".
Taxonomy
Z. aureomarginata was first described in 1998 by Julie A. Phillips and Wendy Nelson. The holotype specimen is held at Te Papa. The type locality of Z. aureomarginata is Island Bay, Wellington. Aureomarginata means 'golden margins' in Latin.
Description
This species is dark brown in colour and has multiple upright fanlike fronds that are semi circular in shape. The branches grow straight and flat and the tips of each branch are fanlike, broad and golden in colour. Z. aureomarginata attach themselves to surfaces via a holdfast that can be as large as 2 cm in width. Z. aureomarginata grows up to 30 cm in length. It is regarded as having a firm texture.
Z. aureomarginata can be distinguished from other Zonaria species by its habitat of shallow water, and the broad and golden tips of the fronds. Under a microscope Z. aureomarginata can be distinguished from its sister species Z. turneriana as the cells in the pith region have an irregular size and form irregular rows and the blades of the algae vary in cell layers from 12 to 14 reducing to 8 cell layers at the edge of the branch.
Distribution
This species is endemic to New Zealand. This species has been found near the Manawatāwhi / Three Kings Islands, the North Island and the northern parts of the South Island as well as at the Chatham Islands.
Habitat
Z. aureomarginata inhabits rugged reefs as well as exposed coastal tidal pools. It can be found from the intertidal zone to upper subtital zone at depths of between 1 and 5m.
Conservation status
As at 2019 this species has been classified by the New Zealand Department of Conservation as "Not Threatened" under the New Zealand Threat Classification System.

The Best Century of My Life
|
The Best Century of My Life () is a 2023 Italian comedy-drama film directed by Alessandro Bardani in his feature film directorial debut, based on the play of the same name by Bardani and Luigi Di Capua, which also penned the screenplay alongside Leonardo Fasoli and Maddalena Ravagli. It stars Sergio Castellitto as Gustavo, a centenarian who never met his biological parents, and Valerio Lundini as an adoptee rights activist who uses him to circumvent a law preventing adopted children from learning the identity of their biological parents until they turn 100 years old. It was the final film role of actress Sandra Milo before her death in 2024.
The film premiered in competition at the 53rd Giffoni Film Festival on 23 July 2023, before being released on 7 September 2023 by . It was a box office bomb, grossing €337,723 on a budget of €2.6 million.
Plot
Giovanni, a 34-year-old volunteer of the Adopted Children & Parents Association (FAeGN), finds out he's adopted and begins drifting away from his mother Gianna. After finding out that an obscure law prevents him from ever learning the identity of his biological parents before turning 100 years old, Giovanni seeks the help of Gustavo, the only living adopted centenarian in Italy. Giovanni travels with wheelchair-bound Gustavo from his Tuscan hospice to the Ministry of the Interior in Rome, where they'll be handed the file. Giovanni hopes this stunt will help him to raise awareness of his predicament to the larger public, but he finds it difficult to bond with the curmudgeonly old man at first.
However, once presented with the file containing his biological mother's name, Gustavo refuses to open it, stating that she gave him up for adoption at birth and so won't ever be his "real mother," unlike the woman who raised him. Albeit disappointed with the outcome, Giovanni is struck by Gustavo's words, recognizing he'd been treating Gianna unfairly. Gustavo eventually accepts to open his file to help with Giovanni's pet cause, but also to know his biological mother's face. At the cemetery, Giovanni finds her gravestone first—one without any photograph. Before Gustavo sees that, he places a photo from a nearby gravestone on it, providing the latter a much-needed closure: the old man reconciles with his mother and forgives her.

Coollattin House
|
Coolattin House or Coolattin Park, located in Shillelagh, County Wicklow, Ireland, is believed to be the largest private house in the country, covering approximately 65,000 square feet and having 117 rooms over four floors. Originally built in the 1790s for William Fitzwilliam, the 4th Earl Fitzwilliam, it has a rich history connected to the prominent Fitzwilliam family, who were substantial landowners in both Ireland and England. The house played a significant role in Irish architectural and aristocratic history, reflecting the grandeur and changing fortunes of the Fitzwilliams over the centuries.
History
Fitzwilliam family
In 1578, the land that would later become Coolattin was granted to Sir Henry Harrington, an English adventurer. In 1638, it was purchased by Thomas Wentworth, the King's representative in Ireland as Lord Deputy, who was notoriously known as Black Tom. By 1782, Coolattin Estate was owned by Charles Wentworth-Watson, the 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, who served twice as British Prime Minister. When he passed away, the Fitzwilliam family's presence in Ireland began as the second marquess's extensive estates were inherited by his nephew the fourth earl. The Fitzwilliams controlled around 90,000 acres of land in Ireland, making them one of the country's largest landowners. It was the largest single landholding in Wicklow and home to 20,000 tenants (in the 1830s).
In January 1794, the fourth Earl Fitzwilliam was appointed Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. His tenure was brief, as he championed Catholic Emancipation and attempted to curb the power of the Protestant Ascendancy, which led to his recall by the British government in March 1795. Despite his short time in office, Fitzwilliam maintained a strong interest in Ireland and its affairs, leading to his decision to build a significant residence on his Wicklow estate at Coolattin.
There were already some structures on the site, possibly a hunting lodge, as records from 1776 indicate suggestions for improvement. However, construction on the new house did not commence until 1796. The Yorkshire architect John Carr, who had previously worked for the Fitzwilliams in England, was commissioned to design the house. Carr's architectural style evolved over time, blending Palladian influences with Adamesque classicism. His work on Coolattin was characterized by conservative yet elegant design principles, featuring a symmetrical façade, a three-bay breakfront with a substantial pediment displaying the Fitzwilliam coat of arms, and free-standing Tuscan columns framing the entrance.
However, before the house was fully completed, it was damaged during the Irish Rebellion of 1798 and had to be rebuilt in the early 19th century. Subsequent generations of the Fitzwilliam family continued to expand and modify the house, adapting it to evolving architectural tastes and functional needs.
Expansions and Alterations
Significant modifications occurred in the 19th century, particularly under the sixth Earl Fitzwilliam in the 1870s. To modernize and expand the estate, he engaged William Dickie, a Yorkshire-based architect and the clerk of works at Wentworth Woodhouse, the Fitzwilliam family's grand English estate. Dickie oversaw the construction of a new entrance front, a south range, a servants' wing, and stables, significantly increasing the size of Coolattin House. Unlike Carr's original lined render, Dickie's extensions were faced with local granite, making it possible to distinguish between the earlier and later additions.
One of the most striking additions by Dickie was the new entrance at what had previously been the rear of the house. The sloping ground at the back allowed for an impressive architectural statement, with a grand portico supported by paired Doric columns and a flight of granite steps leading up to the entrance. Inside, this led to a spacious hall with a coved ceiling and a limestone-flagged floor. Adjacent to this, a smaller inner hall contained a large chimneypiece, while a grand staircase—designed in a baroque style reminiscent of Piedmontese and Sicilian palaces—provided dramatic access to the upper floors. This staircase, featuring arched windows and a balustraded gallery, remains one of the most architecturally significant elements of Coolattin House.
Interior alterations also included the relocation of the main entrance from the south to the north and the removal of the wall between the hall and the drawing room, creating a large reception space. The library, redesigned in the 1880s, was adorned with rare Chinese wallpaper, an opulent decorative choice that extended to another room at the rear of the house. The dining room, originally intended to have bowed walls at both ends, was only partially completed according to Carr's plans, with just the window side incorporating this feature.
Later Years and Restoration Efforts
The Fitzwilliam family remained in possession of Coolattin House well into the 20th century. In 1943, the eighth Earl Fitzwilliam inherited the estate, along with extensive holdings in England. In 1948, tragedy struck when he was killed in a plane crash alongside the widowed Kathleen Cavendish, Marchioness of Hartington, sister of the future U.S. President John F. Kennedy, with whom he was romantically involved. Following his death, his widow, Olive Plunket, continued to live at Coolattin until her passing in 1975. The estate was then sold by their only child, Lady Anne Juliet Dorothea Maud Wentworth-Fitzwilliam, who later became the mother-in-law of British Conservative politician Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg.
Following its sale, Coolattin House went through a turbulent period, changing hands multiple times. Much of its original surrounding land and contents were sold off, leading to the gradual decline of the estate. In 1983, an American couple, the Wardrops, acquired Coolattin and undertook significant restoration efforts to preserve the structure. However, after the death of Mr. Wardrop, his widow sold the estate in 1995 to a local golf club, which sought to expand its course from nine to eighteen holes. Despite some maintenance work, the house remained largely unoccupied for the next 25 years and fell into a state of disrepair.
In recent years, renewed efforts to save Coolattin House have emerged. A group of concerned individuals has acquired the estate, 21 acres remain, undertaking the significant challenge of restoring what remains Ireland's largest private house. Their work aims to bring Coolattin back from the brink of ruin and preserve its historical and architectural significance for future generations.
In 2023, the Irish Government stated that the house and grounds is intrinsically of significant architectural, aesthetic and historical interest.
Today
During Spring and Summer, the house and grounds, are open for visitors.

2,5-Dimethoxy-4-benzylamphetamine

2,5-Dimethoxy-4-benzylamphetamine (DOBz) is a serotonin 5-HT2 receptor modulator of the amphetamine and DOx families. It is the DOx derivative with a benzyl ring at the 4 position.
The drug's affinities (Ki) for the human serotonin 5-HT2 receptors have been found to be 0.4nM for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, 35.0nM for the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, and 1.0nM for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor. Its affinities for the serotonin 5-HT2 receptors are very similar to those of DOB. In rodent drug discrimination tests, DOBz neither antagonized nor generalized to the stimulus of DOM. Higher doses produced behavioral disruption however.
DOBz was first described in the scientific literature by Richard Glennon and colleagues in 1989.

Arab voters are streaming in quantity to the polling stations
|
"Arab voters are streaming in quantity to the polling stations" () or "The Arabs are streaming to the polling stations" was a statement which the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made on the day of the elections for the twentieth Knesset, on 17 March 2015. He made the statement in a video which he released for recruiting additional voters for his party, the Likud, through a Gevald campaign. The statement drew widespread criticism against Netanyahu, both in Israel and in the world.
Netanyahu's statement raised a public debate about the issue of defining the State of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, the national identity of the Israeli Arabs, and addressing their right to vote for the Knesset.
Background
During the election campaign, Netanyahu said that significant financial resources were invested both in Israel and out of Israel for increasing the voter turnout among the left-wing Israelis, and in particular among the Israeli Arabs, in order to achieve the victory of the left-wing formation in the elections, with the support of the Arab parties. In an interview with Israel Hayom, Netanyahu said:
On 15 March 2015, two days before the elections, a mass rally of right-wing organizations was held in the Rabin Square. In his speech at the rally, Netanyahu repeated the message:
The latest polls, which were published four days before the elections, showed a four-seat advantage for the Zionist Union. In the afternoon of the day before the elections, about 5,000 Israeli Arab students who studied at universities in Jordan and Jenin, began arriving in Israel to vote. The organized transportation was initiated by the students, and was funded by the Joint List, which provided transportation by bus from the universities to their homes and back. Several news sites reported on the morning of the election day that voter turnout was high in the Arab sector. The Joint List reported 10% voter turnout by 10 a.m., compared to 3% in the previous elections.
The statement
In the morning of the election day, 17 March 2015, Hezki Baruch from Channel 7 arrived at the Prime Minister's House to interview Netanyahu. Before the interview, Hezki received a text message from , the Editor-in-Chief of Channel 7 who was also his brother. Uzi wrote that the vote percentage of the Israeli Arab sector was three times greater than in the previous elections. Hezki told it to Netanyahu, and Netanyahu said in the interview that the Arab voters were streaming to the polling stations, funded by left-wing associations. Immediately after the interview, Netanyahu asked Topaz Luk, Head of the Likud's New Media headquarters, to make a video about it, which became viral.
According to the findings of the police investigation in Case 4000, which were published in the indictment in February 2019, Netanyahu instructed to forward to Shaul Elovitch and Walla CEO the video, which was displayed as the main headline on the website on the election day for many hours. At the trial, Hefetz testified that he, Netanyahu, and Luke were involved in filming the video, and that three versions were filmed.
Reactions
Immediately upon the release of the video, the statement "Arab voters are streaming in quantity to the polling stations" got a real attention of the mass media in Israel and around the world.
The Means of the communication which mentioned the statement were The Guardian, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Politico, the American television channel MSNBC, the website Salon and The Al Jazeera Media Network in the United States.
Shelly Yachimovich of the Zionist Union and Ahmad Tibi of the Joint List claimed that Netanyahu's words were racist, and made an attack upon the democratic suffrage of the Israeli Arabs. Netanyahu responded to this criticism against him on election day, claiming that there was nothing wrong with the Arabs voting themselves, but rather with the huge amounts of money from the leftist associations and foreign governments for bringing them to the polling stations in an organized manner, which distorting the real will of all voters, who are Israeli citizens, in favor of the left. The Journalist Uri Misgav claimed that the left-wing associations did not organize the transportation of Arab voters to the polling stations, and that Netanyahu knowingly deceived.

Geneva school (economics)
|
The Geneva school is a school of economic thought based in the Geneva Graduate Institute in Switzerland in the 1930s.
Overview
Historian Quinn Slobodian proposed in 2018 the existence of a so-called Geneva School of economics to describe a group of economists who rallied around the Geneva Graduate Institute in Switzerland in the 1930s as they fled the rise of totalitarianism in Europe. The Geneva School describes the intellectual project of Ludwig Von Mises, Wilhelm Röpke, Jacob Viner and Michael A. Heilperin, who formed an intellectual community with employees of the Geneva-based General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and of the League of Nations such as Gottfried Haberler. Slobodian describes them as "ordo-globalists" who promoted the creation of global institutions to safeguard the unimpeded movement of capital across borders. The Geneva School combined the "Austrian emphasis on the limits of knowledge and the global scale with the German ordoliberal emphasis on institutions and the moment of the political decision." Geneva School economists were instrumental in organizing the Mont Pelerin Society, a neoliberal academic society of economists and political philosophers that assembled in nearby Mont Pélerin.

The most prominent figure of the Geneva School of Linguistics was Ferdinand de Saussure. Other important colleagues and students of Saussure who comprise this school include Albert Sechehaye, Albert Riedlinger, Sergei Kartsevski and Charles Bally.
Saussure
The most significant linguistic book connected with this school is Cours de linguistique générale, the main work of de Saussure, which was published by his students Charles Bally and Albert Sehechaye. The book was based on lectures with this title that de Saussure gave three times in Geneva from 1906 to 1912. Sehechaye and Bally did not themselves take part in these lecture classes, but they used notes from other students. The most important of these students was Albert Riedlinger, who provided them with the most material. Furthermore, Bally and Sehechaye continued to develop de Saussure's theories, mainly focusing on the linguistic research of speech. Sehechaye also concentrated on syntactic problems.
Bally
In addition to his edition of de Saussure's lectures, Charles Bally also played an important role in linguistics. He lived from 1865 to 1947 and was, like de Saussure, from Switzerland. His parent were Jean Gabriel, a teacher and Henriette, the owner of a cloth store. Bally was married three times: first with Valentine Leirens, followed by Irma Baptistine Doutre, who was sent into a mental institution in 1915 and Alice Bellicot.
From 1883 to 1885 he studied classic language and literature in Geneva. He continued his studies from 1886 to 1889 in Berlin where he was awarded a PhD. After his studies he worked as a private teacher for the royal family of Greece from 1889 to 1893. Bally returned to Geneva and taught at a business school from 1893 on and moved to the Progymnasium, a grammar school, from 1913 to 1939. At the same time, he worked as PD at the university from 1893 to 1913. Finally from 1913 to 1939 he had a professorship for general linguistic and comparative Indo-German studies which he took over from Ferdinand de Saussure.
Besides his works about subjectivity in the French Language he also wrote about the crisis in French language and language classes. Today Charles Bally is regarded as the founding-father of linguistic theories of style and much honored for his theories of phraseology.

Dorothy NyaKaunda Kamanga (born 6 October, 1970) became a Malawian supreme court judge in 2022.
Life
Kamanga was born in 1970. She entered private practice after she graduated in law from the University of Malawi in 1995 and two years later took a masters degree in the USA at Rutgers University in Women Studies.
She obtained her masters (LLM) degree from Cape Town University and she became a High Court Judge in 2013. She was appointed with three other judges by President Joyce Banda.
Kamanga was involved in a case about prostitution in Malawi. Eleven sex workers were arrested in 2009 in the southern city of Mwanza. They were taken to a hospital and forcibly given HIV tests. The positive results of the tests were later read out in open court. The sex workers later sued the Malawi government for "damages as compensation for violation of their constitutional rights and trauma suffered as a result of actions of the police and a hospital”. Kamanga ruled that the sex workers should be compensated, and that the actions of the police and health workers were "irrational, unjust, unfair and unreasonable."
Kamanga became a Malawian supreme court judge in 2022. She was one of four new judges appointed by President Chakwera who reassured them of their independance.
In June 2022 she sentenced five men to life imprisonment with hard labour for planning and then murdering an albino man in 2018. The five included the man's brother, a member of the Catholic priesthood, a member of the police and a medical worker. People attacking albinos is not an unusual crime in southern Africa and in this case they had extracted human tissue. The government particularly support punishing people associated with crimes against people with albinism.
Private life
She is married and they have children.

Geneva school (literary criticism)
|
The expression "Geneva School" () is applied to a group of literary critics in the 1950s and 1960s, of which the most important were the Belgian critic Georges Poulet, the French critic Jean-Pierre Richard, and the Swiss critics Marcel Raymond, Albert Béguin, Jean Rousset and Jean Starobinski. The critics Emil Staiger, Gaston Bachelard, and J. Hillis Miller are also sometimes associated with this group.
Growing out of Russian Formalism and Phenomenology (such as in the work of Edmund Husserl), the "Geneva School" used the phenomenological method to attempt to analyse works of literature as representations of deep structures of an author's consciousness and his or her relationship to the real world. Biographical criticism was however avoided, as these critics focused primarily on the work of art itself – treated as an organic whole and considered a subjective interpretation of reality (the German concept of Lebenswelt) – and sought out the recurrent themes and images, especially those concerning time and space and the interactions between the self and others.

Dasabhumika-vibhāsā
|
I vow that, in all worlds, I shall manifest the realization of bodhi.
The Dasabhumika-vibhāsā (Chinese: Shízhù pípōshā lùn, 十住毘婆沙論, Taisho no. 1521) also known as the Ten Stages Treatise (十住論) is a Buddhist Treatise on the Daśabhūmika-sūtra attributed to Nāgārjuna. The treatise only survives in a seventeen fascicle Chinese translation completed by the Kuchean translator monk Kumārajīva (344–413). Kumārajīva is said to have received the text from Buddhayaśas, who recited the work. The original Sanskrit text has not been preserved, nor is there any other surviving translations into other languages.
The Ten Stages Treatise is a work on the bodhisattva path, focusing on the essential practices for entering the first two bodhisattva stages (bhūmi). The text also contains an influential passage which discusses the difficulty of the traditional bodhisattva path and an alternative method to liberation which is based on Buddha recollection (Buddhānusmṛti). This passage was significantly influential on the Pure Land Buddhist tradition which emphasized the practice of nianfo, meditation on Amitabha Buddha, especially via the recitation of his name.
Overview
According to tradition, Nāgārjuna received the Buddhāvataṃsaka Sūtra (which contains the Daśabhūmika-sūtra) from the palace of the Naga king under the ocean. He then composed a great treatise on it.
Though traditionally attributed to Nāgārjuna, scholars are unsure of authenticity of the Treatise on the Ten Stages and there has been some debate over this issue. This is due to a lack of a Sanskrit original and also due to the fact that it is unknown in the Indo-Tibetan tradition. Nevertheless, Christian Lindtner in his study of Nāgārjuna's writings considers that it is likely authentic. Chinese catalogues also note that an earlier Chinese translation was completed by Dharmarakṣa in the 3rd century, but this translation is now lost. The Chinese scholar Yinshun also supported the authenticity of the Treatise.
Internal evidence from the surviving translation also indicates that the original work may have been longer (and discussed the other bodhisattva stages). However, according to a colophon in the text, the reciter Buddhayaśas "did not recite it" and so it was not included in Kumārajīva's edition.
Overview of the chapters
Nāgārjuna's Dababhūmika-vibhāṣā consists of 35 chapters in 17 fascicles, offering a detailed exposition on the principles and practices essential for entering the bodhisattva path and the stages (bhūmis). It focuses on the first two bodhisattva stages taught in the Daśabhūmika Sūtra: The Stage of Joyfulness (pramuditā-bhūmi 歡喜地) and The Stage of Stainlessness (vimalā-bhūmi 離垢地).
The basic structure of the Daśabhūmika Treatise's chapters is as follows:
Chapter 1 provides an introduction, explaining the author's motivations and the purpose of the treatise.
Entering the First Stage (Chapter 2): Introduction to the ten bodhisattva grounds and the significance of The Ground of Joyfulness.
Characteristics of the First Stage Bodhisattva (Chapter 3): Discusses the joyful nature and fearlessness of bodhisattvas on this level.
Purification of the First Stage (Chapter 4): The 27 dharmas involved in its purification.
Bodhisattva Vows (Chapter 5): A detailed explanation of the ten great bodhisattva vows.
Generating Bodhicitta (Chapter 6): Causes and conditions leading to bodhicitta.
Obstacles and Stability on the Path (Chapters 7–8): Discusses challenges to maintaining bodhicitta, transgressions on the path, and the qualities of an irreversible bodhisattva (avaivartika).
Easy Practice (Chapter 9): A very influential section which discusses the "Easy Practice" way to achieve the stage of irreversibility or non-retrogression (see below)
Karmic Purification and Merit (Chapters 10–13): Repentance, merit transference, and distinctions in the two main types of giving (giving things and giving of the Dharma).
Taking Refuge and Ethical Conduct (Chapters 14–17): The practice of taking refuge in the Three Jewels, the five precepts, faults of lay life, and the observances of both lay and monastic bodhisattvas.
Practices Common to All Bodhisattvas (Chapters 18–19): Discusses disciplines shared by lay and monastic bodhisattvas (such as patience, giving of Dharma, contemplation, making offerings, resolute faith, cultivating emptiness, right vows), the karmic causes of the Buddha's physical characteristics, and various fourfold classifications of wisdom.
Buddha Mindfulness and Exclusive Buddha Dharmas (Chapters 20–25): These chapters focus on mindfulness of the Buddhas (Buddhānusmṛti), methods for attaining pratyutpanna samādhi, lists of qualities exclusive to Buddhas, and their relevance for practice.
Bodhisattva Path Analogies (Chapter 26): Includes a simile of a guide leading travelers across treacherous terrain.
Summary of the First Stage Practices (Chapter 27): This chapter provides a summary of all bodhisattva practices discussed previously, and provides a distinction between nominal and true bodhisattvas.
Transition to the Second Bodhisattva Stage (Chapters 28–35): This last section includes the following topics:
Karmic actions leading to advancement.
Differences between the paths of śrāvakas, pratyekabuddhas, and bodhisattvas.
The superiority of the Mahāyāna path.
Moral discipline, the dhūta austerities, purification of virtue, and the karmic rewards of ethical conduct.
The second stage bodhisattva's role as a wheel-turning king instructing beings in moral cultivation.
Eight key practices for entering the first stage
In chapter 2, Nāgārjuna discusses eight key Dharmas or practices for entering the first bodhisattva stage, they are:
Densely Planting One’s Roots of Goodness
Cultivating and accumulating all meritorious qualities in accordance with Dharma.
Avoiding the influences of greed, hatred, and delusion.
Thoroughly Practicing the Practices
Upholding ethical precepts.
Practicing in the correct sequence with seven essential dharmas (shame, dread of blame, extensive learning, vigor, mindfulness, wisdom, and pure livelihood).
Utilizing dhyāna (meditative absorption) as a supporting practice.
Well Accumulating All the Provisions
Gathering all necessary factors for the path, including the seven essential dharmas and fundamental good practices.
Cultivating additional virtues such as giving, patience, endurance, courage. satisfaction and fondness for solitude and avoiding bad ones like flattery, resentment, attachment, cruelty, negligence, arrogance, and self-praise.
Thoroughly Making Offerings to All Buddhas
Making offerings in two ways: Listening well to the Mahayana Dharma and Offering the four requisites (food, clothing, medicine, and shelter) to Buddhas with reverence and service.
Being Protected by the Good Spiritual Friend
Receiving guidance and encouragement from Buddhas, bodhisattvas, or śrāvakas who teach the Mahayana and the pāramitās and keep one from falling away from the path.
Completely Developing Resolute Intentions
Developing deep delight in the Buddha Vehicle and the Mahayana Dharma.
Becoming Compassionately Mindful of Beings
Cultivating profound compassion for all beings, and a wish relieve their suffering.
Having Resolute Faith in the Unsurpassable Dharma
Establishing unshakable faith in the Buddha’s teachings and their ultimate efficacy.
Then, Nāgārjuna adds that a bodhisattva is ready to make the bodhisattva vow, in which one resolves “after I have achieved my own liberation, I shall [return and] liberate beings”.
Nāgārjuna then describes the nature of the bodhisattva who has entered the first stage:The bodhisattva who abides on the first ground has much that he is able to endure. He is not fond of struggle or disputation, and, for the most part, his mind is joyous and pleased. He always delights in purity. He has a compassionate mind and feels pity for beings. He has no thoughts of hatred or anger, and, for the most part, practices these seven things.
Ten bodhisattva vows
The Treatise contains its own set of bodhisattva vows:
"I vow to make offerings to, supply the needs of, and extend reverence to all buddhas."
"I vow that in every case I shall protect and uphold the Dharma of all buddhas.", also "I should guard and protect the Dharma of all past, future, and present buddhas of the ten directions."
"From that time when all buddhas depart from the Tuṣita Heaven and come back to abide in the world, on forward to the conclusion of their teaching and their eternal entry into the realm [of nirvāṇa] without residue...I vow that in all cases I shall completely devote my mind to making offerings to them [the Buddhas]".
"I vow to engage in the transformative teaching of beings, causing them all to enter the paths."
"I vow to enable all beings’ complete realization of the Buddha’s bodhi even where there are those tending toward śrāvaka-disciple or pratyekabuddha paths."
"Through resolute faith, I vow to cause all dharmas to enter [a state of] uniform equality." This means that "one causes all of these dharmas to enter into the gates of emptiness, signlessness, and wishlessness so that they are realized to be uniformly equal and beyond duality."
"Having vowed to purify the buddhalands, I shall therefore extinguish all the various forms of evil."
"When joining together with others in doing any single endeavor, I vow that there will be no enmity or contentiousness."
"I vow to practice the bodhisattva path and set turning the irreversible wheel, thereby enabling the dispelling of all afflictions and the entry into faith that is pure."
"I vow that, in all worlds, I shall manifest the realization of bodhi."
Buddha contemplation
The Dashabhūmika-vibhāṣā is also known for its contribution to the development of the practice of Buddha recollection (Buddhānusmṛti), which is said to lead to the visionary experience of pratyutpanna samādhi ("the samādhi in which the Buddhas of the present appear before one") which allows a bodhisattva to see "right before one’s very eyes...the buddhas of the ten directions" and "listen to the Dharma of the sutras being taught by those buddhas."
The practice of Buddha recollection has a special role in the Treatise, since according to the third chapter, it is one of the main reason why the Buddhas at the first bodhisattva stage (the stage of joy) are joyful:He is always mindful of the Buddhas, of the great dharmas of the Buddhas, of those at the station of certain success, and of their rare practices. It is because of this that he is for the most part joyful. As for his “being mindful of the Buddhas,” he is mindful of Burning Lamp and the other buddhas of the past, is mindful of Amitābha and the other buddhas of the present, and is mindful of Maitreya and the other buddhas of the future. He “is always mindful” of them just as if they were appearing directly in front of him and realizes that, throughout the three realms of existence, there is no one able to be superior to them. It is for this reason that he is mostly joyful.Aside from the discussion in the "Easy Path" chapter (9), the Treatise discusses the practice of Buddha recollection in numerous other chapters, including chapter 18 on shared practices (which discusses Contemplation of the Buddha's thirty two marks of a great man), and chapters 20 to 25 of the Treatise discuss various aspects of Buddhānusmṛti.
The Treatise explains the practice of Buddha recollection in depth, offering a structured and progressive approach to cultivating mindfulness of the Buddha. Nāgārjuna outlines four primary methods of Buddha recollection: reciting the Buddha’s name (chiming nianfo), visualizing the Buddha’s marks (guanxiang nianfo), contemplating the Buddha’s virtues (guanxiang nianfo), and realizing the Buddha’s true reality (shixiang nianfo). Each method serves as a skillful means to purify the mind, deepen concentration, and ultimately lead practitioners toward the realization of the Buddha’s Dharma body, the true nature of reality. In the Treatise, these practices are interlinked, with each method building upon the previous one to guide practitioners from coarse to subtle levels of understanding.
The first method (reciting Buddha names), involves the vocal or mental repetition of the names of the Buddhas. This practice is particularly suited to beginners, as it uses sound to focus the mind and gather scattered thoughts. Nāgārjuna emphasizes that reciting the Buddha’s name is not merely a mechanical repetition but should be accompanied by faith and reverence. By recollecting the Buddha’s virtues and merits through his name, practitioners cultivate a pure mind and accumulate merit, which helps them progress toward the stage of non-retrogression (avaivartika). This method is accessible and effective, making it a cornerstone of the “easy path” to enlightenment, as discussed in the Chapter on Easy Practice.
The second and third methods, "visualizing the Buddha’s marks" and "contemplating the Buddha’s virtues", involve deeper levels of mental engagement. Visualizing the Buddha’s thirty-two major marks and eighty minor characteristics helps practitioners refine their samadhi and develop a vivid mental image of the Buddha surrounded by a great assembly. This practice is not merely about imagining physical forms but also about understanding the karmic causes and virtues represented by these marks, which the sutra discusses in extensive detail. For example, the Buddha’s golden skin symbolizes immeasurable virtues, while his long arms represent boundless generosity. By contemplating these marks, practitioners internalize the Buddha’s qualities and cultivate corresponding virtues in their own lives. Nāgārjuna highlights that these practices gradually transform the mind, turning defilements into purity and aligning the practitioner’s actions with the bodhisattva path.
The ultimate goal of Buddha recollection is "contemplating the Buddha as ultimate reality" (shixiang nianfo), which involves understanding the emptiness and dependent origination of all phenomena. Nāgārjuna explains that true Buddha recollection transcends attachment to physical forms or even the Dharma body. This practice is deeply connected to the bodhisattva’s cultivation of wisdom and compassion, as it requires seeing the true nature of reality while engaging in the six perfections. By integrating the understanding of emptiness into every aspect of Buddha recollection, practitioners can transform their minds, accumulate the resources for the pure land, and ultimately attain Buddhahood.
The chapter on the Easy Path
The Treatise on the Ten Stages contains an influential chapter entitled “Chapter on Easy Practice” (yìxíng pǐn 易行品, chapter nine), which discusses Amitābha Buddha and his Pure Land as an "easy" method for attaining non-retrogression on the path for bodhisattvas discouraged by the more traditional bodhisattva path which lasts many eons (kalpas).
The Treatise begins its discussion of the "easy" path with the following:There are innumerable gates to the buddha-dharma. Just as there are difficult and easy paths in this world, going over land being wearying while taking a boat over water is pleasant, just so are the bodhisattva paths.The Treatise acknowledges the difficulty of attaining liberation through the traditional bodhisattva path, emphasizing the vast obstacles bodhisattvas face on the ten-stage path and the great risk of falling from the path in a future life, which would entail losing one's spiritual gains. For frail and timid bodhisattvas who do not feel able to accomplish the long traditional path, the Treatise recommends the “path of easy practice”:If a bodhisattva wishes to attain to the stage of non-retrogression in this body and accomplish supreme highest enlightenment, he should contemplate (niàn 念) all the buddhas of the ten directions and invoke their names.The Treatise then discusses various named Buddhas and their buddhalands which can be recited by a bodhisattva following this practice. It then singles out Amitābha Buddha and discusses that Buddha's land and qualities. Nāgārjuna then provides a set of verses in praise of Amitābha Buddha.
This perspective laid the foundation for later Chinese Pure Land thought, where the "Path of Sages" was deemed impractical for most beings in the degenerate age (末法, mòfǎ). Instead, reliance on Amitābha Buddha's compassionate vows was presented as an expedient means accessible to all. The chapter on easy practice was widely cited by Chinese Pure Land Buddhists who used it to establish the doctrinal distinction between the "Path of Sages" (聖道門, shèngdào mén) and the "Easy Path" (易行道, yìxíng dào). This framework later emphasized by figures such as Tánluán (曇鸞, 476–542), Dàochuò (道綽, 562–645) and Shàndǎo (善導, 613–681). For these major Pure Land thinkers, the "Path of Sages" refers to the arduous practice of self-powered (自力, zìlì) cultivation through wisdom, meditation, and moral discipline, leading to enlightenment over countless lifetimes. In contrast, the "Easy Path" entails reliance on the Other power (他力, tālì) of Amitābha Buddha, enabling rebirth in the Pure Land through faith and invocation of Amitābha's name (nianfo, 念佛).
The influence of the Treatise on the Ten Stages on the Pure Land Buddhist tradition extends into the Japanese Pure Land schools, particularly Jōdo-shū and Jōdo Shinshū. The figures key figures of these traditions, like Hōnen, Benchō and Shinran, inherited the doctrinal insights of Chinese Pure Land masters and emphasized Other Power and nembutsu (nianfo) as the primary means of liberation. These authors cited the chapter on the Easy Path in their works to show the orthodoxy of their Pure Land Buddhist views and even saw Nagarjuna as a patriarch of Pure Land Buddhism. The Treatise thus serves as a critical link between early Mahāyāna thought and the fully developed Pure Land tradition in East Asia.
Corrupt bodhisattvas and true bodhisattvas
A key theme in the Treatise is the distinction between different types of bodhisattvas, particularly those who are only nominally bodhisattvas (敗壞菩薩, "corrupt bodhisattvas" or "defective bodhisattvas") and those who genuinely embody the path (真實菩薩, "true bodhisattvas"). The corrupt bodhisattvas, despite having aroused bodhicitta (the intent to become a Buddha for the sake of all living beings), lack actual practice and embodiment of the path. Nāgārjuna likens them to horses that bear the name "horse" but lack the capacity to walk or function as such. These bodhisattvas fail to uphold the conduct expected of them and instead engage in actions such as teaching profound Dharma to those incapable of receiving it, giving inferior teachings to those who seek greater wisdom, showing disrespect to those who uphold moral discipline, and placing faith in untrustworthy individuals while forming close bonds with those who break precepts.
The Treatise also discusses false bodhisattvas (像菩薩, "semblance bodhisattvas") who engage in superficial acts of virtue but lack genuine dedication to contemplation, moral discipline, and the cultivation of wisdom. They are preoccupied with personal gain, social recognition, and attachment to worldly relationships, failing to embody the detachment and compassionate commitment of a true bodhisattva. In contrast, true bodhisattvas exhibit four harmonious qualities that define their path. They cultivate an equal mind toward all beings, instruct others with beneficial teachings, expound the Dharma universally, and uphold right conduct in all interactions. These bodhisattvas are committed to self-discipline, practice, and altruistic action. They avoid the mistakes of false corrupt bodhisattvas by ensuring that their teachings and relationships align with the path of enlightenment. The Treatise emphasizes that a true bodhisattva must sincerely engage in practices such as renouncing personal desires, cultivating great compassion, and seeking liberation for all beings while maintaining faith in karma and dependent origination.

|
2,5-Dimethoxy-4-acetylamphetamine (DOAc) is a serotonin 5-HT2 receptor modulator of the amphetamine and DOx families. Its affinities (Ki) for the human serotonin 5-HT2 receptors are 80.5nM for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, 313nM for the serotonin 5-HT2B receptor, and 91.3nM for the serotonin 5-HT2C receptor. These affinities are much lower than those of many other DOx derivatives, such as DOB, but are very similar to those of 3,4,5-trimethoxyamphetamine (TMA).

Dafroza Gauthier
|
Dafroza Gauthier, née Mukarumongi, (born August 4, 1954) is a French-Rwandan chemical engineer and activist.
She is known for her pursuit of those responsible for the Rwandan genocide on French territory in order to bring them to justice.
She is married to Alain Gauthier, with whom she founded the Collectif des parties civiles pour le Rwanda (CPCR), and has as son-in-law the Franco-Rwandan singer and writer Gaël Faye.
Life
Personal situation
Youth
Dafroza Mukarumongi was born on August 4, 1954, in Astrida, renamed Butare after independence. She comes from a family of Tutsi pastoralists originally from southern Rwanda.
When she was nine, her father was killed during the massacres in Gikongoro in 1963. She took refuge in the Kibeho church to escape the massacres.
At the same time, in the early 1960s, Dafroza saw her house burnt down and her elementary school teacher beheaded. Following these tragic events, Dafroza and her mother left their home and took refuge with relatives. She therefore grew up in a predominantly female family environment.
She studied at secondary school in the Butare region before entering high school at the lycée de Kigali in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda.
Exile and settlement in France
Following the 1973 Rwandan coup d'état, Dafroza was forced into exile due to the massive pogroms suffered by the Tutsis. On her mother's advice, she left Rwanda in a hurry, fleeing with a dozen other Rwandans with the help of a priest.
With her sister, she found refuge in Burundi, first near the northern town of Kirundo, then in the former capital Bujumbura. In September 1973, she moved to Belgium, where she continued her studies with her older brother.
In 1975, she met Alain Gauthier, then a theology student teaching French at a Catholic mission in Butare. She married him in 1977 and obtained French nationality. Together, Alain, a French teacher and school principal, and Dafroza, a chemical engineer, settled in Reims, where they have lived since the early 1980s. Until 1989, the Gauthier couple regularly travelled to Rwanda during the vacations with their three children to visit Dafroza's mother.
Spring 1994: the Tutsi genocide
At the end of February 1994, Dafroza made her annual trip to Kigali to see her family; while there, she witnessed the beginnings of the genocide and was forced to cut short her stay.
On April 8, 1994, her mother Suzana Mukamusoni was shot dead in front of the Charles Lwanga church in Nyamirambo, the day after the death of Rwandan president Juvénal Habyarimana. She heard the news from Father Henri Blanchard, the parish priest in Kigali.
From April to June 1994, Dafroza watched helplessly as the massacres progressed, and together with her husband, tried to alert the public through petitions, demonstrations and letters to the editor. During this period, she took in two of her cousins. In the space of a few months, almost her entire maternal family - some 80 people - was decimated.
After the genocide: the fight for justice
1996-2001: the birth of a commitment
In 1996, Dafroza traveled to Rwanda with her husband Alain. She met up with a cousin who had survived the genocide, and whose husband and two children had lost their lives. During her stay, she listened in horror to the accounts of the survivors, deciding to pass on the victims' testimonies to a Parisian lawyer.
In 2001, she attended the hearings of the first post-genocide trial, known as the trial of the Butare Four. The trial was held in Brussels, where an assize court was called upon to rule on charges brought against four Rwandans suspected of having taken part in the genocide. From that moment on, she became actively involved, alongside her husband, in the cause of justice.
On April 26, 2001, in an article published in the daily newspaper La Croix, she called on France to acknowledge "its responsibility in this troubled period of Rwanda's history."
2001: creation of the Civil Parties Collective for Rwanda (CPCR)
In November 2001, together with her husband, Alain Gauthier, she founded the Collectif des parties civiles pour le Rwanda (CPCR). Since then, she has worked tirelessly to track down individuals who played an active role in the genocide and took refuge in France, and to bring them before the courts.
Indeed, because of the historical ties between Paris and the regime of Rwandan President Juvénal Habyarimana, many genocidaires found refuge in France after 1994, and for years enjoyed a complacent welcome that the Gauthiers have denounced.
The couple travel to Rwanda three or four times a year in search of testimonies from survivors, ex-killers, and prisoners. They gather information on the spot and compile files which they pass on to the French justice system.
In 2007, one of the first complaints lodged by the couple concerned the doctor Eugène Rwamucyo. He was tried in October 2024 and sentenced on October 30, 2024, to 27 years' imprisonment for complicity in genocide and crimes against humanity.
Together, Alain and Dafroza Gauthier are behind almost all of the 30 or so complaints lodged in France against Rwandan nationals suspected of having taken part in the genocide of the Tutsis in Rwanda and living on French soil. They include senior civil servant Laurent Bucyibaruta, financier Félicien Kabuga, gendarme Philippe Hategekimana, colonel Aloys Ntiwiragabo, former First Lady of Rwanda Agathe Habyarimana, as well as a priest, Father Wenceslas Munyeshyaka, former parish priest of the Sainte-Famille Church in Kigali, and a doctor, gynecologist Sosthène Munyemana.
Since 2014: the first trials
Dafroza Gauthier decried the slowness of the French justice system in taking up cases and carrying out investigations, which to her encourages impunity, and welcomed the creation, in January 2012, of a "genocide and crimes against humanity" unit within the Paris Tribunal de Grande Instance. The creation, in November 2013, of the Office central de lutte contre les crimes contre l'humanité, les génocides et les crimes de guerre (OCLCH) (Central Office for the Fight against Crimes against Humanity, Genocide and War Crimes) also speeds up the legal proceedings.
February 2014 saw the opening of the first trial of one of the protagonists of the genocide, former Rwandan Presidential Guard officer Pascal Simbikangwa. On this occasion, Dafroza Gauthier testified before the Paris Assize Court. Pascal Simbikangwa was convicted of genocide and complicity in crimes against humanity.
In 2020, the couple, regularly dubbed "the Klarsfelds of Rwanda"–in reference to Nazi hunters Beate and Serge Klarsfeld–estimate that around a hundred genocidaires are living freely in France. While a number of genocide planners, masterminds and killers have been convicted in Rwanda, by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), and abroad, many continue to evade justice. Kigali has made some fifty extradition requests to France, but France's highest court, the Court of Cassation, has consistently opposed extraditions of Rwandans suspected of involvement in the genocide, on the grounds that the law is non-retroactive.
In 2024, thirty years after the genocide and ten years after the opening of the first trials, a dozen men have been tried and sentenced in France for their participation in the genocide to sentences ranging from fourteen years' imprisonment to life imprisonment, but only three have been given final sentences, the others having appealed their convictions.
Passing on memories
Dafroza Gauthier is a regular speaker at secondary schools and universities in order to help prevent people from forgetting and to pass on the memory of the genocide.
Through her actions, she also intends to actively combat revisionism.
In November 2017, the couple were awarded the National Order of Exceptional Friendship by Rwandan President Paul Kagame in Kigali to honor their service to the Rwandan nation. She is regularly accused of being an agent of the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), in the pay of President Paul Kagame.
In 2021, she welcomed President Emmanuel Macron's recognition of France's role in the Tutsi genocide.
In 2023, a documentary film and a comic book, Rwanda, à la poursuite des génocidaires, retrace the Gauthier couple's struggle as the sixth Rwanda genocide trial opened in Paris on November 13 of that year.
In 2024, she took part in the commemoration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Tutsi genocide.

In 1918, Jean Piaget (1896–1980) turned away from his early training in natural history and began post-doctoral work in psychoanalysis in Zurich. Later Piaget rejected psychoanalysis, as he thought it was insufficiently empirical. In 1919, he moved to Paris to work at the Binet-Simon Lab. However, Binet had died in 1911 and Simon lived and worked in Rouen. His supervision therefore came (indirectly) from Pierre Janet, Binet's old rival and a professor at the Collège de France.
The job in Paris was relatively simple: to use the statistical techniques he had learned as a natural historian, studying molluscs, to standardize Cyril Burt's intelligence test for use with French children. Yet without direct supervision, he soon found a remedy to this boring work: exploring why children made the mistakes they did. Applying his early training in psychoanalytic interviewing, Piaget began to intervene directly with the children: "Why did you do that?" (etc.) It was from this that the ideas formalized in his later stage theory first emerged.
In 1921, Piaget moved to Geneva to work with Édouard Claparède at the Rousseau Institute. They formed what is now known as the Genevan School. In 1936, Piaget received his first honorary doctorate from Harvard. In 1955, the International Center for Genetic Epistemology was founded: an interdisciplinary collaboration of theoreticians and scientists, devoted to the study of topics related to Piaget's theory. In 1969, Piaget received the "distinguished scientific contributions" award from the American Psychological Association.

Frank Rooney (novelist)

Frank Rooney was an American author. His short story Cyclists' Raid, originally published in Harper's Magazine in 1951, was adapted into the 1953 film The Wild One starting Marlon Brando. His 1954 novel The Courts of Memory was a finalist for the National Book Award.
Cyclists' Raid tells the story of World War II veteran Joel Bleeker who manages a hotel in a small town with his daughter Cathy. Bleeker is pushed to the breaking point when a motorcycle gang converge on the town and terrorize him and the townspeople.
The Courts of Memory tells the story of brother and sister Dick and Brace who have a turbulent relationship growing up. The story follows the two characters from their teenage years into adulthood. Brace, who is idealistic, adventurous, and alienated from the rest of her family, forms a loving bond with her younger brother Dick. In adulthood, the two continue their tumultuous lives but remain close and supportive of one another. Brace has a series of failed marriages, first to a socially conservative, traditionalist banker, and then to a reckless son of a Hollywood producer. Dick develops alcoholism before settling down in a happy marriage. Reviewing the novel in The New York Times, John Brooks stated that Rooney had succeeded in giving the character Brace "unusual individuality and charm to go with her perverse behavior." He also said that the two characters were enjoyable as "vivid, precocious, infuriating and memorable Hollywood children." The Kirkus review stated that the novel never sacrificed its vitality in its intimate examination of the two characters.
Rooney was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1956 to study fiction.

José Luis Navarro (boxer)
|
José Luis Navarro Rivas (born 24 March 1965) was a Spanish boxer who fought a total of 21 fights between 1993 and 1997. Nicknamed El Cazador, he has been the Spanish Welterweight Champion, Spanish World Welterweight and Super-Welterweight Champion, and European Welterweight Champion. None of his fights reached the final round, with all of his victories being by KO.
Early life
Born in Córdoba on 24 March 1965, Navarro's first passion was football, wanting to become a player for Córdoba, just like his childhood idol José Luis Navarro, who shared his name, but a traffic accident shattered his dream of becoming a footballer; instead of hindering him, this accident only made him stronger.
Boxing career
After a long career as an amateur boxer, Navarro made his professional debut on 13 January 1993 in Santander, knocking out Francisco Delgado in one round, who was undefeated in 5 fights. After knocking out a further five opponents, three Spanish and two French, he had his first real test with the veteran and tough Panamanian boxer Tony Campbell, but Navarro nevertheless subjected him to such a harsh punishment that caused him to quit at the end of the second round. He followed this up by defeating the future champion of France Patrick Charpentier, doing so in four rounds with a terrible uppercut, and was later proclaimed champion of Spain in welterweight by knocking the veteran José Molinillo in four rounds.
His natural category was welterweight, but Navarro decided to go up in weight for a shot at the Spanish Championship in super welterweight, where he faced Nicasio Moray, a two-time champion of Paraguay and the then South American middleweight champion, who had never been knocked out in his 3 losses, but Navarro did exactly that in the first round thanks to a perfect right hook, thus winning the title and improving his record to 12–0, all knockouts. He then succssfully defended the title 3 times, against the Argentines José Luis Saldivia and Silvio Walter and once against the Venezuelan Alejandro Ugueto. At this point, he was already an idol throughout Europe and was beginning to be known worldwide.
On 17 December 1994, Navarro fought for the European welterweight championship in his hometown of Córdoba, facing the veteran British Delroy Bryan; despite suffering a cut on one of his cheekbones on the third round, he recovered and kept applying pressure on an increasingly overwhelmed Bryan, who in the 10th round, fell 3 times to the canvas with his face bloodied, so the referee stopped the fight and El Cazador was proclaimed Champion of Europe with a record of 18–0. He was thus chosen as Cordoban of the year in 1994. He successfully defended his European title against Zaragoza native José Ramon Escriche, doing so in 5 rounds, but he was then finally defeated by Valery Kayumba on 1 April 1995, in 8 rounds by TKO. He then collected a further six victories in the following years to reach an impressive tally of 25–1, but then lost his last fight against Andrey Pestryaev on 15 February 1997, where the European welterweight title was at stake.
During his career, Navarro had 27 fights, winning 25 of them and losing the other two. He used to get into the ring wearing the Córdoba CF shirt. Together with Toni Ortiz and Rafael Lozano, Navarro is one of the three best boxers in the history of Córdoba.
Later life
After he retired from boxing, Navarro held the position of sports technician at the Provincial Council of Córdoba for 14 years. Navarro is currently an administrator at Doña Mencía.
