Bit (payment application)
|
bit is a digital payment application developed by Bank Hapoalim. The app allows users to transfer money instantly using their mobile devices and has become one of the most popular peer-to-peer (P2P) payment platforms in Israel.
History
bit was launched in 2017 by Bank Hapoalim as a response to the growing demand for digital and mobile payment solutions in Israel. Initially, the app was designed primarily for peer-to-peer (P2P) money transfers, enabling users to send and receive payments without the need for cash or traditional bank transfers. Over time, bit expanded its capabilities to include payments to businesses, integration with E-commerce platforms, and additional financial services.
The app quickly gained popularity due to its user-friendly interface, seamless transactions, and accessibility, even for individuals who do not hold a Bank Hapoalim account. Competing with similar apps such as PayBox (by Discount Bank) and Pepper Pay (by Bank Leumi), Bit emerged as a dominant force in the Israeli digital payments market.
In 2021, Bank Hapoalim announced significant enhancements to Bit, including partnerships with major retailers and financial service providers. The app continued to evolve, offering new features to meet the growing demand for cashless transactions in Israel.
Features
Bit provides a variety of digital payment solutions, including:
Instant P2P Money Transfers – Users can send and receive money quickly using only a phone number, without requiring the recipient's bank account details.
Business Payments – Merchants and small businesses can receive payments via Bit, reducing reliance on traditional credit card transactions.
E-commerce Integration – Bit enables online purchases through partnerships with Israeli retailers and e-commerce platforms.
Bill Splitting – Users can split payments with friends and family, simplifying shared expenses such as restaurant bills or group purchases.
Subscription Payments – The app allows for recurring payments, useful for services such as club memberships or monthly fees.
Multi-Bank Support – While Bit was initially exclusive to Bank Hapoalim customers, it later expanded to support users from all Israeli banks.
Market impact
Bit has significantly contributed to the digitization of payments in Israel, leading to a decline in cash-based transactions, particularly among younger consumers. The app's widespread adoption has influenced businesses and individuals to transition toward a more cashless economy.
As of 2023, Bit holds a substantial market share in Israel's mobile payments sector, with millions of users relying on the platform for daily transactions. Its success has prompted regulatory discussions about competition in Israel's financial sector, as traditional banks continue to dominate the digital payments space.
Security and regulation
Bit operates under the regulatory framework of the Bank of Israel, ensuring compliance with financial security and data protection standards. The app uses advanced encryption and fraud detection mechanisms to secure transactions and protect user information.
To combat fraud and unauthorized transactions, Bit imposes transfer limits and identity verification measures, particularly for larger transactions. The app also provides users with customer support for dispute resolution and transaction tracking.
Competition
Bit faces competition from other Israeli digital payment apps, including:
PayBox – Developed by Discount Bank, offering group payment features.
Pepper Pay – A digital payment solution from Bank Leumi.
Google Pay & Apple Pay – International mobile payment services that entered the Israeli market, providing an alternative for credit card transactions.
Despite these competitors, Bit remains a leading choice for digital payments in Israel due to its simplicity, brand recognition, and strong banking infrastructure.

Ganadevta

Ganadevta is an Indian TV series broadcast on Doordarshan since 1987 till 1988. Directed by P. Kumar Vasudev, the series is based on Tarashankar Bandyopadhyay's much acclaimed Bengali novel Ganadevata. Set against the backdrop of British Raj in the twentieth century, the series documents Dalit uprising against the exploitation of the rich upper caste in a rural are. The plot revolves around Debnath Ghosh, who intends to bring an end to the oppressive system run by the vile landlord and village-chief. It stars Rohit Orhi in the lead.
Plot
In the twentieth century, in Shibkalipur, a village in Bengal, Aniruddha Karmakar is the only blacksmith and Girish Sutradhar is the only carpenter. Aniruddha and Girish have set up their respective retail stores in the local market. Thus their unavailability has led to the trouble and discontent among the peasantry in the village. In a rural assembly held to address this issue, Aniruddha claims that both he and Girish are subject to injustice as they have not been receiving the due share of harvest in exchange of their service, over a long span of years. Aniruddha further exposes that he has been deceived by Chiru Pal, the village-chief who has not provided the former with his due share of paddy. Chiru Pal who is present at the assembly, objects to this allegation, claiming that Aniruddha owes him a certain amount he has not paid yet. Aniruddha leaves and then returns with the money to pay Chiru Pal. He receives the handnote from Chiru Pal and declares that neither he nor Girish will serve the villagers any longer. He further adds that he does not have reliance on the assembly as it cannot check Chiru Pal's arrogance and injustice.
The next morning, Aniruddha discovers that the half-ripened paddy from his land has secretly been harvested. He tells his wife Padma that he suspects Chiru Pal to be the culpable one. He attempts to go to the police station to lodge an official complaint against Chiru Pal. He is dissuaded by Padma who tells him that an official complaint against Chiru Pal will turn unwise as no one will witness against him, whereas Jagannath Ghosh, the village doctor instigates him to go to the police station. He goes to the police station. The police come and investigate in vain. Patu complains to the landlord against Chiru Pal's illicit relationship withsister Durga. This infuriates Chiru Pal and he sets fire to the houses of innocent people of the lower class of the village. Anyway he then appears to help them pretending to be the saviour.
Debnath has to go to jail after he attempts to obstruct a government survey work in the village. After Debnath Ghosh goes to jail, Jatin, a young Swadeshi activist, comes to Shivkalipur village under arrest. Anyway, Jatin manages to continue his swadeshi act. Durga tells the inspector to rent the house outside Aniruddha's house for Jatin to stay in. Jatin and Padma gradually develop a mother-son relationship.
When Debu returns, Jatin forms a meeting and committee with him. He forms a social movement to save Shivkalipur, which is plagued by poverty, misery, and disease. He intends to awaken the patriotic spirit among the common people and tries to protect the tradition of his ancestors who overthrew the British rule and built Dighi Sarovar.

Nohoch Mul
|
Nohoch Mul or Ixmoja is a Maya pyramid located in the ancient pre-Columbian city of Coba in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico with a height of 42 meters (138 ft) considered the tallest Maya structure and pyramid in the north of the Yucatán Peninsula, it consists of a large stepped base topped by a temple at the top. It was built in the Classic period of the Maya civilization and was occupied until the post-classic period.
The Nohoch Mul pyramid is the main structure of Coba and is located in the architectural complex known as group A (or also called Nohoch Mul group in reference to the main pyramid), which contains the largest buildings in the city. The name Nohoch Mul comes from the Maya language (Nojoch Muul) and means “great mound” in reference to the dimensions of the structure.
History
The Nohoch Mul pyramid dates to the classic period of the Maya civilization and was built during the great urban development that the city of Coba had during its peak and development as a political center. A large limestone hieroglyphic stela found near the pyramid contains an extensive inscription recording the long count date of 9.6.15.6.9. 13 Muluk 12 Sip which corresponds to May 12, 569 AD as the founding of a site called Keh Witz Nal that could be the original name of the area where the group A complex of Coba was built or one of its structures like the Nohoch Mul pyramid. During the post-classical period, the main buildings of Coba were remodeled implementing new regional architectural elements. The temple on the top of the Nohoch Mul pyramid was built following the architecture of the East Coast of Quintana Roo.
Architecture
The structure of the Nohoch Mul pyramid is a monumental pyramidal base with 7 levels and rounded edges with a central staircase of 120 steps leading to the temple at the top of the pyramid and a staircase on the side leading to a lower platform.

Manuel Mendez was a Dominican political activist. A native of Azua, he participated both wars of independences against Haiti and Spain.
Later, he became a staunch supporter of the conservative politician, Buenaventura Báez. During the Six Years' War, he had encounters with liberal guerrilla fighters who opposed the regime. He was said to only fight on Tuesdays and Fridays; on other days he avoided the clash.
After the six-year regime, during which he had been one of the main defenders of the Government in the South, he caused some concern to President Ignacio María González, who revolted with a group of his followers in Pueblo Viejo in 1875. The prompt mobilization of government troops isolated him, and he was soon taken prisoner and taken to Santo Domingo.

Skeletonization of fusion categories
|
In mathematics, the skeletonization of fusion categories is a process whereby one extracts the core data of a fusion category or related categorical object in terms of minimal set-theoretic information. This set-theoretic information is referred to as the skeletal data of the fusion category. This process is related to the general technique of skeletonization in category theory. Skeletonization is often used for working with examples, doing computations, and classifying fusion categories.
The relevant feature of fusion categories which makes the technique of skeletonization effective is the strong finiteness conditions placed on fusion categories, such as the requirements that they have finitely many isomorphism classes of simple objects and that all of their hom-spaces are finite dimensional. This allows the entire categorical structure of a fusion category to be encoded in a finite amount of complex numbers, arranged into tensors. The coherence conditions on fusion categories turn into compatibility conditions on the tensors.
In this context, skeletonization is the opposite process of categorification, which takes set-theoretic information and turns it into category-theoretic data.
For fusion categories
The skeletonization of fusion categories is often stated in terms of string diagrams. In this approach, morphims in the category are depicted as strings, which one can interpret as spacetime trajectories of some point-like objects.
The tensor product is denoted by placing strings adjacent to one another.
Let denote a fusion category. Let denote the set of isomorphism classes of simple objects of . By the definition of a fusion category, is a finite set and contains a distinguished element corresponding to the tensor unit. Since fusion categories are semi-simple, for all , there is a decomposition . These coefficients are non-negative integers which only depend on the isomorphism classes of , and are referred to as the fusion coefficients of , and are the first basic piece of the skeletal data of .
Given simple objects , any morphisms can be depicted using string diagrams notion as follows.
The composition of elementary morphisms can be used to define F-symbols. F-symbols are 10-index tensors which encode the associativity of the monoidal structure, similarly to 6j symbols. Given any simple objects and morphisms , , , there is an F-symbol . These symbols are defined implicitly via the relation
In this definition of F-symbols, the sum is taken over simple objects , and some basis of maps and . The values of the F-symbols depend on this choice of basis. Choosing a different choice of basis of the elementary fusion spaces is called a gauge transformation on the F-symbols. By Schur's lemma, the dimension of the fusion spaces are equal to the fusion coefficients , so the number of values the indices take depend on the fusion coefficients.
For multiplicity-free fusion categories
A fusion category is called multiplicity-free if all of its fusion coefficients are equal to 0 or 1. For a multiplicity-free fusion category, the four indices of F-symbols which index choices of morphisms become irrelevant. So, in this case, the F-symbols can be considered to only 6 indices. Seeing as this simplifies the process of skeletonization of fusion categories, many authors only define skeletonization for multiplicity-free fusion categories.
For braided fusion categories
The braided monoidal structure on a fusion category can be depicted as follows.
We can use these elementary morphisms to define R-symbols. R-symbols are 5-index tensors which encode the braiding structure of the category. Given any simple objects and and there is an R-symbol . These symbols are defined implicitly via the relation
For modular tensor categories
The pivotal structure on a modular tensor category (or more generally a pre-modular tensor category) can be encoded skeletally using -symbols, also called twists. These theta symbols are mostly directly associated to the ribbon structure on . The ribbon structure is obtained from the braiding and the spherical structure by Deligne's twising lemma, which says that spherical structures and ribbon structures are equivalent in the presence of a braiding. Additionally, Deligne's twisting lemma says that pivotal structures are equivalent to By definition, a ribbon structure is a natural transformation satisfying the conditions and . Given any simple object , we can identify the map with the unique scalar such that . This scalar is called the -symbol associated to the simple object , and only depends on the isomorphism class of .

Born in Faenza, Italy - the same town renowned for its longstanding association with Italian motorsport - De Zordo developed an early passion for racing and engineering. He studied mechanical engineering at the University of Bologna, and got his first job in motorsport as a stress engineer for the Minardi team.
De Zordo then joined McLaren for a five-year stint, before moving back to Italy as a senior design engineer at Scuderia Ferrari. After spells as Head of Mechanical Design and Deputy Chief Designer, De Zordo was seconded to the Haas F1 Team as Chief Designer. This move, driven by cost cap regulations, involved the transfer of Ferrari employees to Haas, where they worked from a design office located next to Ferrari's facility.

Massacre in Budy
|
Massacre in Budy (, ) - the massacre of female prisoners from the penal company of Auschwitz concentration camp, who were quartered in the Wirtschaftshof Budy subcamp, which took place in the first days of October 1942 (most likely on October 5). Around 90 female prisoners, most of them French Jewish women, were killed by German prisoner functionaries and SS guards.
The Subcamp
In April 1942, a subcamp of Auschwitz concentration camp was established in the areas of Bór, Budy, and Nazielence (now hamlets of the city of Brzeszcze). It was collectively named Wirtschaftshof Budy, after the local farm, and was later divided into separate male and female subcamps.
The women's subcamp was located in the Bór area. After the escape of a Polish prisoner, Janina Nowak, in June 1942, it was converted into a penal camp. The female prisoners held there were mainly tasked with cleaning ponds, demolishing houses, and building roads.
Half of the 400 prisoners were Polish women, while the others were Jewish women from Slovakia and France, as well as German women. The prisoner functionaries were German women, mostly prostitutes and criminals.
The subcamp (penal camp) consisted of three buildings. A brick building, previously used as a school, housed the German prisoner functionaries on the ground floor and the French Jewish women in the attic. The other prisoners lived in a wooden barrack. The last building served as the camp kitchen. The subcamp area was surrounded by barbed wire, with guard towers placed at the corners.
Massacre
In the evening hours, a French Jewish prisoner was returning upstairs to the attic of the building shared with the German prisoner functionaries. One of the functionaries, a German prostitute named Elfriede Schmidt, claimed she saw a stone in the prisoner’s hand. She called for help from the SS guards, informing them that the prisoner had attacked her.
In his memoirs, SS man Pery Broad suggested that the real reason the prisoner functionary raised a false alarm was her desire to meet with her SS guard lover. Guards were not allowed inside the camp at night, but the alarm allowed them to enter, and the resulting chaos gave the lovers some time alone. Meanwhile, Max Grabner, the head of the Politische Abteilung (the camp’s Gestapo), claimed that the massacre was driven by the functionaries' fear that the Jewish prisoners would report their forbidden sexual relations with the so-called "green" (criminal) prisoner functionaries to the camp authorities. As a result, they decided to kill the Jewish prisoners.
After the alarm was raised, the SS guards, together with the prisoner functionaries, ran upstairs to the attic and began the massacre. The Jewish women were murdered using sticks, clubs, and axes. Some were pushed down the stairs, while others were thrown out of the windows. After the prisoners were driven outside, the massacre continued with rifle butts and gunshots.
Camp commandant Rudolf Höß was informed about the suppression of the alleged revolt at 5:00 in the morning.
Aftermath
Alarmed by the situation, Höß personally went to the subcamp. After inspecting the site of the massacre, he returned to Auschwitz and handed the case over to the Political Department. After his departure, the SS guards remaining at Bór, in an effort to eliminate witnesses, attempted to kill all the prisoners who had survived the massacre by hiding among the corpses.
Before noon, additional SS officers arrived at Bór to document the event. They took photographs showing a pile of bodies and the corpses of prisoners hanging on the barbed wire fence — some of the Jewish women had made desperate attempts to escape, trying to climb the fence in a futile effort to save themselves. SS medics continued the process of eliminating witnesses by injecting the surviving French prisoners with phenol.
The SS conducted an investigation into the massacre. As a result, on October 24, 1942, six prisoner functionaries, including the so-called "Queen of the Axe", Elfriede Schmidt, were executed by lethal injection of phenol directly into the heart.
The original photographs taken immediately after the massacre were destroyed, and all remaining copies were handed over to the camp commandant. The camp documentation that would allow for the identification of victims by name has not been preserved.
Despite the massacre, the penal company continued to exist. It was not disbanded until March 1943.
The Massacre in Rudolfa Höss's memoirs
In his autobiography, the camp commandant expressed the following opinion about the massacre:
Former subcamp's area today
Only one building from the subcamp has survived. The kitchen and the wooden barrack were demolished, while the former school building, where the massacre began, was converted into a kindergarten. The building changed its function after 2014, when it was transferred to the Foundation of Memory Sites Near Auschwitz-Birkenau. The Foundation runs exhibition and educational activities in the building.
Memorial plaques commemorating the subcamp, the penal company, and the massacre itself were placed on the building and in front of it.

Battle of Dolnij Poloj
|
The Battle of Dolnij Poloj, more commonly known as the Charge of Poloj (in Italian: ) is a war episode that took place during World War II in the Yugoslav Front on October 17, 1942, which went down in history as the last charge carried out by regular Italian military troops. It takes its name from a locality in Croatia, Gornji Poloj, now a settlement in the municipality of Slunj. The episode saw as protagonists on one side the Regio Esercito, with the 14th Regiment "Cavalleggeri Alessandria" accompanied by other units and commanded by Colonel Antonio Ajmone Cat and on the other the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia commanded by Josip Broz Tito. It was the last charge of Italian cavalry in history.
At sunrise on October 17, 1942, the 14th Regiment "Cavalleggeri Alessandria", led by Colonel Antonio Ajmone Cat and supported by a column of horse-drawn artillery, the 3rd Tank Squadron based on L6/40 tanks and the 81st divisional Blackshirt Battalion, was moving towards Mjesto Primišlje on a routine checkpoint operation when, near the Korana river, a handful of Yugoslav partisans fired heavy-calibre shots from the surrounding heights, immediately killing an officer and a light cavalryman and wounding several men and horses, with the 2nd and 4th partisan assault brigades taking possession of the hills above the Italians. The Colonel was trying to open the way to the northwest for about and then turn right towards Perjasica. As recalled by 3rd Squadron Lieutenant Raffaele Arcella:
In Poloj, the enemy attacked with violent gunfire and grenades. “Partisans inserted hand grenades triggered on iron cords through the trees,” says Arcella, “Crafty traps, but deadly.”
The unit formed a diamond shape. The diamond included the 1st Squadron at the head, the 3rd to the left, and the 2nd to the right. In the center, the Machine Gun Squadron and Command Squadron. The 4th protected the tail section of artillery. The subsequent charge left the Oartisans retreating, at the cost of heavy losses. 70 dead and 61 wounded, including officers, non-commissioned officers and light cavalry out of an effective force of 760 units; 130 horses killed and 60 injured. The artillery, strenuously defended, has 12 missing and one wounded among the troops in addition to the loss of pieces and horses, also including the loss of one battery. The Partisans claimed to seize 33 Italian prisoners, an L3, two guns, seven trucks, nine machine guns, 122 rifles. They also claimed only five killed and eight injured. Yugoslav partisan leader Josep Broz Tito stated about the Poloj Cavalry Charge:

The Evening Star (painting)

The Evening Star is an 1830 landscape painting by the British artist J.M.W. Turner. It features a coastal scene on a beach with a boy with a shrimping net wading out of the water to be greeted by his dog. It gained its title several decades after Turner painted it due to the presence of a single star visible in the sky.
The painting was exhibited with other works by Turner at the Tate Gallery in 1906, where critics compared it to more recent works by James McNeill Whistler. It is in the possession of the National Gallery in London, having been part of the Turner Bequest of 1856.

Jimmy Chauveau
|
Jimmy Chauveau (born 16 March 1989) is an Canadian-British singer, songwriter, guitarist, musician and, as of 2022, the frontman of the Canadian band The Strumbellas. He was previously the lead singer of the Ascot Royals. Simultaneously performs with the music group Kadeema.
Life and career
He was born on 16 March 1989 in Chertsey.
Around 2000, he and his family moved from the United Kingdom to Brantford, Canada. Here he first became interested in music. At the age of fifteen he was given an acoustic guitar by his brother Ben. His brother Ben co-founded the musical group Ascot Royals. But their singer left and so Jimmy Chauveau got an offer to become a member of the group. He initially sang backing vocals. Later, he became the band's lead singer.
The group performed mainly in Brantford, Canada. The band subsequently became more famous and later signed a contract with the record company Sony. They began performing across Canada, including Toronto, where Chauveau moved. In 2019, the group split up. All the members went in different directions. Chauveau and Tal Vaisman founded the band Kadeema.
In 2022, he auditioned to be the new lead singer of The Strumbellas. Due to personal problems, current singer Simon Ward decided to withdraw from the band behind the scenes and started writing songs. Jimmy Chauveau thus became the new lead singer of The Strumbellas.
They started composing new songs together. This resulted in the new studio album Part Time Believer (2024).

Polahi people
|
Polahi are an isolated ethnic group that inhabits the interior forests of Gorontalo. According to stories circulating in the people, the Polahi were ancient fugitive people who exodused to the forest because they were afraid and did not want to be colonized by the Dutch. As a result of this, they have become an isolated ethnic group until now.
This ethnic isolated itself around the 17th century and now lives in the interior of the forests of the Boliyohuto, Paguyaman, and Suwawa in the province of Gorontalo.
Origins
According to local stories, the Polahi people were refugees during the Dutch colonial era. In the Gorontalo language, Polahi comes from the word lahi-lahi which means 'runaway' or 'on the run'. Polahi were fugitives during the Dutch colonial period who were afraid or did not want to pay taxes, who then lived in the interior of the forest, one of them is on the slopes of Mount Boliyohuto in the village of Tamaila Utara, Gorontalo Regency.
This makes the Polahi people adapt to jungle life. After Indonesia's independence, most of the Polahi descendants still lived in the forests and mountains. This anti-colonial attitude has been carried over from generation to generation, so that other people from outside the Polahi people are considered oppressors and invaders.
Social life
Living in isolation while in the interior of the forest makes the Polahi people unreachable by social ethics, education, and religion. The Polahi descendants are a very marginalized society and are not familiar with the general social order. They also do not know how to read and write and still adhere to native beliefs.
The language used daily is the Polahi dialect of Gorontalo language. The Polahi people lives by farming in a rudimentary way and hunting animals such as wild boar, deer and pythons. Some of them also do not know how to wear clothes like Indonesian people in general, they only wear genital coverings made from palm leaves and tree bark. However, nowadays, some of them have adopted modern clothing. The Polahi people's house is very simple, has no walls, the kitchen is built in the middle, and also functions as body warmer. They also do not attend school and enjoy modern health facilities. To get to the Polahi people, it takes about 7 hours on foot up the mountain from the center of Gorontalo City.
The Polahi people are very backward, not only because of their remoteness and lack of formal education, even in the Polahi culture, they do not know how to count and do not know the names of the days in the calendar. Several researchers managed to meet the Polahi people when they came down from the mountain, the maximum number that could be counted was four, the rest is 'many'. Previously, the Polahi people only knew two numbers, namely one to four and 'many'.
Native beliefs
The Polahi people live in small groups in the interior of the Gorontalo forest, they recognize three Gods in their beliefs. These three gods are Pulohuta, Lati, and Lausala.
Pulohuta
Pulohuta is depicted as a living figure who has power over the land, a concept that originates from ancestors. Pulohuta is a husband and wife. If the Polahi people want to clear land in the forest, they will ask Pulohuta for permission first. Apart from holding power over the land, Pulohuta also holds power over the animals in the forest. The Polahi people's form of respect for Pulohuta is if they get game animals, certain parts of the animal's body are sliced, such as the ears, mouth, and tongue, then placed on a tree stump to be offered to Pulohuta.
Lati
Lati is depicted as a living creature that inhabits large trees and waterfalls. Her body size is depicted as small, the size of a doll in large numbers. Lati is the holder of power over trees. They cast a spell with the aim of telling Lati to move to another tree.
Lausala
Lausala in Polahi's narrative is like a superhuman character. He is an antagonist who is depicted as a figure who thirsts for blood. It turns out that Lausala is not only described as a male character, because there is also an old woman who is referred to as Lausala. The Polahi people created several images to convince people that Lausala really existed. The Polahi people believe that Lausala has red eyes, carries a flaming sword and can move quickly from one hill to another. According to the Polahi people, if a dog barks, it is a sign of the presence of Lausala.
Incestuous marriage
The Polahi people lives a nomadic life, they live in simple wooden huts so that they are easy to leave. When a Polahi family member dies, they will be buried in that place, then they will leave that place. Family members move to find a new location again, bringing cooking utensils, clothes, plates, glasses, and other usable items.
A deep fear of corpses is what causes the Polahi people to leave their homes. The Polahi people often moved from place to place, then built new huts. With this lifestyle, the Polahi people only communicate with each other within their group. This then gave birth to the tradition of consanguineous marriage or marriage between siblings.
Mating with siblings has become commonplace in the Polahi people. For example, the elder in one of the Polahi groups, namely "Group 9", is a grandfather with three siblings, the other two siblings are girls. The grandfather married both of his siblings at once, one wife had no children, while the other had six children, two boys, and four girls. Then his son married his daughter again, so that her daughter also became his son-in-law. Even though they live in isolation and have different traditions from society in general, the Polahi people are relatively open to people outside their circle.
Culture
Everyday consumption
The Polahi people has unique habits, including the Polahi people who only eat once a day. They only eat once, namely in the afternoon at 5 pm, just before the Maghrib prayer according to the Islam belief. They consume tubers that they grow themselves and are not accustomed to eating rice like the general public. The Polahi people only cultivates tubers, papaya, and bananas.
Religion
Most of the Polahi people still adhere to native beliefs. However, nowadays, they are starting to be open to the arrival of religions from outside, especially Islam. Islam is the religion practiced by the majority of people around the Polahi people, namely the Gorontalo people.
On 11 June 2018, 25 Polahi people from the Bakiki Nani descendant group declared their conversion to Islam, they recited the two sentences of the shahada at Udin Mole's house in Pilomuluta hamlet in Tolangohuta district. They were initially guided by Udin Mole who met them in the forest and told them to go down the mountain to meet his leader, Bakiki Nani.

Brene Moseley
|
Brene Moseley (born November 25, 1993) is an American former professional basketball player. She played guard for the Indiana Fever of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA). She was drafted by the Fever in the second round of the 2016 WNBA draft. Moseley played college basketball for the Maryland Terrapins.
Early life
As a child, Moseley earned the nickname "Bones" because of her thin physique. Moseley attended and played basketball at Paint Branch High School in Burtonsville, Maryland. She was named first-team All-Met as a junior by The Washington Post. Late in her junior year of high school, Moseley suffered a torn ACL in her right knee, preventing her from playing basketball during her senior year. ESPN ranked her as a four-star basketball prospect coming out of high school.
College career
Committing to play for the Maryland Terrapins, who recruited her in spite of her ACL injury, Moseley was an immediate contributor to the team. In the third game of her freshman season (2011–2012), Moseley led Maryland in scoring, with 26 points in a win against Towson. She was named to the ACC All-Freshman and All-Academic teams.
Moseley missed the 2012–2013 season after suffering another torn ACL, this time in her left knee, in a preseason scrimmage.
Moseley returned to the team for her redshirt sophomore season, making 8 of 8 free throws in her first game back from the injury in a win against South Florida and adding 11 points in a victory over Army in the 2014 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament. In her junior year, she made two late-game free throws and a steal to help Maryland defeat sixth-ranked Tennessee in the 2015 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament, propelling the Terrapins to their second consecutive Final Four.
In her senior year, Moseley tied her career-high 26 points set as a freshman as she led her team in scoring in a win against Old Dominion. In an interview before Maryland's 2016 senior day, head coach Brenda Frese stated that though she was a bench player for Maryland, Moseley "would be a starter on most teams". She surpassed 1,000 career points in a win against Northwestern in the semifinals of the Big Ten tournament and recorded 16 points, seven assists, and three rebounds in a loss to Washington in the 2016 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament, which would end her college career. Moseley was named the Big Ten's Sixth Player of the Year and second-team All-Big Ten for the 2015–2016 season.
Moseley played in 142 games in her college career.
Professional career
The Indiana Fever selected Moseley in the second round with the 21st overall pick in the 2016 WNBA draft. She averaged 1.9 points and 1.1 assists per game in eight games in 2016 before she was waived by the team on June 20.

Coptic Legion
|
The Coptic Legion () was a military unit organized by the French army during the Napoleonic conquest of Egypt. It was composed of ethnic native Egyptian Copts. It was the last local unit to be organized by Napoleon.
The Coptic Legion was formed out of the need of self-defense by the Coptic community against the Mamluks and Ottomans, since they were always persecuted and accused of complicity with their Christian European coreligionists. The Legion was headed by a Coptic general, General Yaqub, based on a proposal by Jean-Baptiste Kléber in September 1799 to defend the Coptic community in Egypt. General Yaqub recruited young Copts from Cairo and Upper Egypt for the Legion. These were trained by officers from the French army. The Coptic Legion consisted of 2 battalions each with 5 companies, and numbered 896 men, including officers, in 1800. However, some sources believe the number of recruited Copts in the Legion to have been as high as 2,000. Together with the Greek Legion, the Coptic Legion formed the Bataillon des Chasseurs d'Orient. The uniform of the Legion's soldiers was composed of a black hat, a green coat with red epaulettes, khaki trousers, and black boots.
The Légion Copte is thought to have been the best of all the locally organized units in Egypt. Many of its members also joined the ranks of the demi-brigades, in particular the 21st light demi-brigade. The Coptic Legion was particularly successful in protecting Coptic Christians in Egypt against Muslim aggression. When the population of Cairo revolted against the French, and the Ottomans tried to retake Egypt, the Coptic Legion under General Yaqub barricaded themselves in the fortress with towers and ramparts they built at the neighborhood of Azbakeya and successfully defended Copts there during a 20-day siege, while Copts in other parts of Cairo were looted and murdered by Muslim mob led by Hasan Bey al-Jiddawi.
After the defeat of the Napoleonic conquest of Egypt at the hand of the British, the French troops were forced to withdraw from Egypt. Under articles 12 and 13 of the treaty signed between France and Great Britain, protection for those who had helped the French was guaranteed. Anyone who wished to leave for France was allowed to do so, and so many members of the Coptic Legion returned with the French army to France in 1801, including General Yaqub. Nonetheless, most of the members of the Coptic Legion chose to remain in Egypt, and were eventually murdered by the Ottomans. Those who reached France continued to fight in its army, several of them achieving high ranks.
The Coptic Legion was finally disbanded on 29 September, 1814. The Egyptian writer Rifa'a at-Tahtawi recounts in his book Takhlis al-ibriz fi talkhis Bariz about encountering some of the former members of the Legion during his visit to Paris in 1826.

Inch Cape Wind Farm
|
Inch Cape is a proposed offshore offshore wind farm off the east coast of Scotland, approximately east of Arbroath, Angus. It is named after the nearby Inchcape reef. The project has a potential capacity of 1080 MW. It is being developed by Inch Cape Offshore Limited (ICOL), an equal joint venture between Edinburgh-based Red Rock Renewables and Irish ESB Group's Energy for Generations.
The Inch Cape site covers an area of around with water depths of . It is located off the coast of Angus, with the boundary of the site to the north-east of Inchcape and the Bell Rock Lighthouse. The Inch Cape windfarm is to the north of the Neart Na Gaoithe Wind Farm and south-west of the Seagreen Offshore Wind Farm.
When complete, the windfarm will have 72 Vestas V236-15.0MW turbines, up to high. It will also feature a 66/220 kV offshore substation. Power will be transmitted to shore via two 220 kV cables, with the onshore substation at the former Cockenzie power station in East Lothian, where it is connected to the National Grid. The subsea export cables are expected to be installed in 2025. Construction of the onshore substation commenced in early 2023. Between autumn 2024 and summer 2025, a section of the John Muir Way around the former power station needed to be diverted.
The Monopile foundations for the turbines will be up to long, with a maximum diameter of and mass of 2,500 tonnes. These will be installed by Jan De Nul, with work expected to commence late in 2025, using a newly built quayside at the Port of Leith.
Planning and consenting
In June 2011 ICOL was awarded an exclusivity agreement from The Crown Estate for the development area. This was in response to a 2008 call for proposals for offshore windfarms in Scottish coastal waters.
In 2014, the project gained the necessary consents for the offshore works, "Section 36" and Marine Licences, to build a windfarm of up to 110 turbines with a total power of 784 MW.
In 2016, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) successfully challenged the plans to build the Inch Cape, Neart na Gaoithe, plus Seagreen Alpha and Bravo windfarms. This was reversed in May 2017 following appeal by the Scottish Government. In November 2017, RSPB Scotland was refused permission to appeal this decision in the Supreme Court.
A revised proposal was submitted in August 2018, for a reduced number of larger turbines, which was stated to improve the project economics. The proposed rotor diameter was increased to from the previous , with maximum tip height increased to from . However, the number of turbines was reduced to just 72 from the original 110, and the number of offshore substation platforms and export cables limited at two, rather than five and six previously. The revised proposal was granted in September 2019.
In August 2021, the Section 36 consent was amended to remove the 1 GW limit on the project size, which permits the use of more powerful turbines within the original size limits.
The project was awarded Contracts for Difference for 1080 MW under Allocation Round 4 in 2022, at 37.35 £2012/MWh. In September 2024, 266.11 MW of this was awarded a higher price of 54.23 £2012/MWh under the Offshore Wind Permitted Reduction scheme.
Construction
Siemens Energy were awarded the contract to construct the substations for the project, both offshore and onshore.
In January 2024, construction of the onshore substation started. The works are being undertaken for Siemens Energy by civil engineering contractor Careys.

Hans-Jürgen Ferdinand
|
Hans-Jürgen Ferdinand (born 21 August 1943) is a German retired football player and real estate agent. Nicknamed "Yogi", he played as a forward for various clubs throughout the 1960s and the 1970s, notably playing for Bundesliga club Alemannia Aachen and playing abroad in Switzerland for Chiasso.
Football career
Ferdinand went through his footballing youth in the youth teams of Eintracht Höhr-Grenzhausen. He already made it into various youth selection teams before he was accepted directly from the A-youth into the primary team in August 1961. He played for Eintracht for two years and had a commercial apprenticeship at Rheinstahl-Thyssen in Bendorf and lived with his parents in the neighbouring town of Hillscheid, four kilometres away. As a teenager, he also played table tennis as a competitive sport.
The young attacker first attracted attention nationwide in the 1963–64 season with SpVgg Bendorf in the Amateurliga Rheinland. He was the top scorer in the Amateurliga Rheinland with 36 goals as Bendorf finished in third place. The young talent then received a contract with TuS Neuendorf in the Regionalliga Südwest for the 1964–65 Regionalliga. Financially, this was a clear improvement for him as he went from an apprentice allowance of 77 marks to a monthly basic salary of 320 marks with a financial incentive of 40 marks per victory and 20 marks per draw. In addition, he received a gift of 4,000 marks, with which he bought his first car being a used Volkswagen Beetle and was therefore no longer dependent on driving as before.
At TuS Neuendorf, Hermann Oster, a former Oberliga southwest player at TuS and later a tax official at the then Oberfinanzdirektion in Koblenz, was the coach. He became a fatherly friend to the young newcomer and knew how to motivate the former amateur footballer again and again as a centre-forward and goalscorer. With success: Ferdinand scored 21 goals in 24 league games in his first year in the Regionalliga Südwest and Neuendorf finished in 6th place. The Bundesliga club 1. FC Kaiserslautern therefore became interested in the attacker and Ferdinand completed a trial training on the Betzenberg through the mediation of Fritz Walter. A two-year contract had already been signed, but Koblenz refused to release him so he remained in the club for the 1965–66 Regionalliga. Elsewhere, the managerial position had gone from Oster to the former Max Merkel assistant Karl-Heinz Trieschmann and accompanied by an abrupt change in tone. Trieschmann would often shone Ferdinand and other players with crude phrasings which became an infamous trait about the manager. Despite his bad relationship with the coach, Ferdinand scored 20 goals in the 1965–66 season.
The strong and robust newcomer immediately confirmed his finishing qualities in the southwest German second division and scored 41 goals in 48 league appearances for the team from the Oberwerth stadium in two rounds. When he had contributed 20 goals to TuS Neuendorf's 4th place in 1965–66 alongside Werner Hölzenbein and Hans Sondermann, he was newly signed by West German Regionalliga club Alemannia Aachen for the 1966–67 season. The Black and Yellows from the Tivoli Stadium had already tried in vain three times to get promoted to the Bundesliga and, in addition to the striker from Neuendorf, also relied on the other recent signings of Rolf Pawellek, Peter Reiter, Peter Schöngen and Christoph Walter.
The coach of Alemannia was the former active member of the Duisburg Spielverein Hans Hoffmann and Ferdinand also had to do his military service in the Gallwitz barracks in Aachen until March 1967. Looking back, Ferdinand does not think much of the coaching qualities of the man from Duisburg and the first half of the season were lost months for not only him, but also for the other newcomers such as Reiter, Schöngen and Walter. The quartet has already been dubbed bad buys in the press. Alemannia went into the winter break in 6th place. The turning point came with Michael Pfeiffer, who was signed as the new coach after the Christmas party. According to Ferdinand's description, he fit in with the team, was a good rhetorician, had a high level of professional competence and was able to release enthusiasm and unimagined footballing powers in the players.
It was a very balanced season with Hamborn 07, Aachen, half-time champion Arminia Bielefeld, Schwarz-Weiß Essen, Rot-Weiß Oberhausen and VfL Bochum alternating for the top. The sextet with title hopes decided the title race only on the last matchday following Bielefeld making no chance at qualifying following a 1–0 defeat against Wuppertaler SV with Schwarz-Weiß Essen competing with Aachen for the winning title and following a 0–0 draw against , the Black and Yellows won their home game on 15 May 1967 in a 4–0 against Eintracht Duisburg with Ferdinand distinguishing himself for scoring a hat trick. Alemannia won the championship with 48–20 points with Schwarz-Weiß Essen one point behind the runner-up championship. In the Bundesliga promotion round, the West champions held their own with 12–4 points against Kickers Offenbach, 1. FC Saarbrücken, Göttingen 05 and Tennis Borussia Berlin. Ferdinand played all eight promotion playoffs and scored eight goals. He was the top scorer in the 1967 promotion round with Wolfgang Gayer of Borussia Neunkirchen and teammate Alfred Glenski following with seven goals each.
The newly promoted team strengthened for the challenge of the Bundesliga with the signings of Uruguayan nationals Horacio Troche and Juan Carlos Borteiro alongside the signings of local players such as Karl-Heinz Bechmann and Karl-Heinz Krott, but had to cope with a 4–0 home defeat against Bayern Munich in front of 30,000 spectators at the inaugural round on 19 August 1967. Ferdinand got to recognize the upper class of the duo of Franz Beckenbauer and Georg Schwarzenbeck in the defensive centre of the later record champions. In the further course of the round, coach Pfeiffer's team stabilized and finished in 11th place at the end of the season. Ferdinand led the internal scorer list with 14 goals ahead of Glenski with 9 goals and Krott with 7. He had opened the series of his goals on 13 September 1967 in the 2–0 home win against Hamburger SV, when he had to compete with defensive greats such as Jürgen Kurbjuhn, Egon Horst and Willi Schulz. He also scored important goals in the 1–0 win against Werder Bremen, the 1–1 draw against 1. FC Kaiserslautern, the 4–2 and 5–1 wins against 1. FC Köln and Borussia Neunkirchen. He also scored the winning goal in the 2–1 home win against FC Schalke 04 and also scored the 1–1 equalizer in the home game against Werder Bremen on 6 April 1968. He usually formed the attack together with Krott, Herbert Gronen, Heinz-Gerd Klostermann and Glenski, often supported by midfielders Erwin Hoffmann, Karl-Heinz Bechmann and Josef Martinelli.
When the foreign internationals Roger Claessen and Ion Ionescu were signed for the 1968–69 season, Ferdinand was cleared and moved to play for Chiasso in Switzerland for a transfer fee of 100,000 DM. Chiasso, a border town to Italy and located in the immediate vicinity of Lake Como, developed into a formative experience for Ferdinand. He took particular interest in Ticino with its mild climate, the picturesque towns on Lake Maggiore, Lake Lugano and Lake Como were very impressive for the newcomer from Aachen. He was also fond of Italian cuisine, which had been foreign to him before. In addition to football, he worked part-time in the stock exchange department of the Schweizerische Kreditanstalt at his own request. In his first season, he scored twelve goals for Chiasso. Before the 1969–70 Nationalliga A, the club was strengthened with three players from FC Lugano. Above all, the new acquisitions now gave Ferdinand the appropriate assists as they would use him cleverly repeatedly so that he could play out his goal threat. At the end of the round, he had won the top scorer crown in the Nationalliga with 24 goals.
After two years with top midfield places with 5th and 7th place, Ferdinand returned to Aachen for the 1970–71 season. Since his wife wanted to return to Germany with their two small children and Alemannia Aachen approached him again and president Leo Führung was in Chur in Graubünden on a business trip, the contract negotiations were held there and the striker rejoined Alemannia in the 1970–71 Regionalliga. The striker once again proved to be a reliable goalscorer for the recently relegated team as he scored 15 goals in 21 appearances for the season with the following season he scored 17 goals in 32 games. Under coach Gunther Baumann, the team from the border triangle finished fourth and Ferdinand had shown off his scoring qualities alongside veteran teammates such as goalkeeper Werner Scholz and midfielder Christian Breuer. However, the desired return to the Bundesliga failed, with Aachen he ended up in sixth and fourth place in the final table.
After four appearances in the 1973–74 Regionalliga against Viktoria Köln in a 3–1 victory with two goals, a 2–1 victory against Arminia Bielefeld, a 2–0 loss against Preußen Münster and a 1–0 loss against Schwarz-Weiß Essen, he ended his career as a footballer. In 2013, he was awarded a certificate of gratitude for his 40 years of membership in Alemannia.
Ferdinand is still a regular guest at Tivoli and is popular with fans due his nostalgic retrospectives of his time at Alemannia Aachen.
Later career
Apart from his football career, Ferdinand worked for a building society, served as a real estate agent and within the vending machine industry. Since 2002, he has also published several books on Aachen's local topics, history and faith as an author. He also uses his fame for social causes such as part of a project to improve the literacy rates of Guatemala.

I'm a Dreamer Montreal
|
I'm a Dreamer Montreal is a play by Stewart Parker. Parker's play won the Christopher Ewart-Biggs Memorial Prize. It was commissioned by BBC radio 3 in April 1975 and televised for ITV Playhouse in March 1979
The play title derives from a pun by the Marx Brothers in the film Animal Crackers (1930). Groucho asks his brother to "play the song about Montreal". Chico asks, "Montreal?, and Groucho replies, "I'm a dreamer, Montreal." The pun on the true title of the 1929 song, "I'm a Dreamer, aren't we all?" has been much-recycled not least by Parker. An early popular recording was by Paul Whiteman and His Orchestra on October 16, 1929, with a vocal group including Bing Crosby and this reached the charts in 1929.
In Belfast, where the play is set, music librarian Nelson Gloverby (Bryan Murray) lives in a dream world. A showband singer by night, he is unconcerned with his audience's irritation at his inability to stick to the proper lyrics. He is innocently drawn into the brutality of the Troubles when he meets siren Sandra Carse (Jeananne Crowley). His world having been turned around, he takes the bus home. The bus driver is singing the lyrics "I'm a dreamer, Montreal"; however, this time it is Nelson who points out the correct lyrics: "I’m a Dreamer, Aren't We All?"

Umi e, See You
|
is a 1988 Japanese auto racing epic film directed by Koreyoshi Kurahara and written by Sō Kuramoto. It is based on the story Suna no bôkensha (lit. Adventurers of the Sand) by José Giovanni (credited onscreen as Joze Jovanni). The plot revolves around the Paris-Dakar Rally, an off-road endurance race spanning thousands of miles and multiple continents. It follows the lives, loves and losses of the competitors of Japan's Team DANKAI during the 1988 competition. Umi e, See You was theatrically released by Toho on May 18, 1988, and stars Ken Takakura in the lead role, alongside Junko Sakurada, Philippe Leroy, Nenji Kobayashi and Ayumi Ishida.
This film was Sō Kuramoto's final screenwriting credit for 36 years until the release of Silence of the Sea in 2024.
Plot
With the Paris-Dakar Rally fast approaching, the sponsor of Japan's Team DANKAI adds popular celebrity Ryuichi Yoshii (Goro Ohashi) to their roster for publicity. Mizuki (Nenji Kobayashi), DANKAI's team leader, recognizes the strain this puts on his team, in addition to their general dysfunction and baggage. He also believes it is necessary to have a support vehicle (a 1985 Mercedes-Benz 2628 NG camion) running alongside the team's Pajero rally car. Thus Mizuki seeks the help of legendary mechanic and driver Eiji Honma (Ken Takakura). Honma had retired years prior due to the deaths of multiple friends in his dangerous profession. However, Mizuki persuades Honma to come out of retirement one last time and help DANKAI win the race.
On January 1, 1988, the rally cars leave Paris en route to Dakar, the capital city of Senegal. Honma soon discovers that his ex-wife Kei (Ayumi Ishida) is also participating in the rally, alongside her current husband, the bullfighter Juan Vázquez (Tomas Arana). Also in Honma's support car is Yuko Takei (Junko Sakurada), a singer who had followed Yoshii from Japan.
Over the course of the race, the relationship between the selfish Yoshii and DANKAI begins to sour. While navigating the Sahara Desert, tensions come to a head. A fight breaks out, but Honma manages to mediate and gets the team back in the race. Through multiple trials and tribulations, Yoshii and the team learn to trust each other, and DANKAI finishes the race. However, Kei and Juan's car suffers an accident in the West African desert, and both perish. Though he has completed the race, Honma once again becomes a mourner. He erects a cross in the desert using the remains of their vehicle.
Cast
Production
Umi e was shot in multiple countries, including Japan, Finland, Italy, France, Spain, Senegal and various locations in North Africa. Extensive filming took place on location at the actual Paris-Dakar Rally sites. Cinematographers Tsuguzo Matsumae, Kikumatsu Sôda and Tatsuo Mori assisted with on-location shooting.
Music
Actor and musician Ryudo Uzaki co-starred in the film and also co-composed its score with Shûichi Chino. The film's theme song is "Rose Des Vents" (lit. "The Rose of the Wind") by Pierre Barouh. In addition, the film features the track "Donde Esta Corazon" by Luis Martinez Serrano. The soundtrack was released by Meldac in June 1988.
Vehicles
Multiple trucks, cars and motorcycles are featured in the film, including several custom-built off-road vehicles, SUVs and sports cars. Featured brands include BMW, Honda, Kawasaki, Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Saab, Suzuki and Toyota, among others:
Awards
Editor Akira Suzuki won the 12th Japan Academy Award for Best Editing for his work on this film.
Home media
Due to the film's running time of 2 hours and 54 minutes, it was released on VHS as a two-volume set. The film was later released on DVD.

|
Westport Lifeboat Station
|
Westport Lifeboat Station was actually located approximately west of Westport, on the island of Inishlyre, one of many islands in Clew Bay, County Mayo, on the west coast of Ireland.
A lifeboat station was first established at Inishlyre in 1857 by the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI).
After just 5 years in operation, Westport Lifeboat Station was closed in 1862.
History
On 4 February 1832, the ship Huntley, loaded with a cargo of timer, sank in the Atlantic Ocean, west of Ireland. The Master and 14 crew took to the ship's boat, and after nine days, with few provisions, and no compass, the boat was washed up on Inishbofin, County Galway. The crew were in a terrible state, but nobody would go near them for fear of Cholera. Finally, Mr Henry Hildebrand, Baliff to Howe Browne, 2nd Marquess of Sligo, set an example, and got all brought ashore to safety, taking them to his house and offices to be fed and looked after. Ever since its founding in 1824, the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck (RNIPLS), later to become the RNLI in 1854, would award medals for deeds of gallantry at sea, even if no lifeboats were involved. Henry Hildebrand was awarded the RNIPLS Silver Medal.
It would be 25 years later, when it was decided to place a lifeboat in the area. A new local committee formed by the Westport Harbour Commissioners, was created to manage the station. In 1857, a 28-foot Self-righting 'Pulling and Sailing' (P&S) lifeboat, one with sails and (10) oars, was dispatched to the new lifeboat station at Inishlyre, "where she will be readily available to proceed to the assistance of all vessels in the vicinity of the port.".
A new boathouse was constructed on the island, and the lifeboat transported free of charge from Liverpool to Westport, County Mayo by Mr Lever, proprietor of the Liverpool and Westport steamship line.
The lifeboat wasn't a new boat. She had previously been the first lifeboat to be stationed at in Lancashire in 1851. The land and a boathouse at Lytham were provided by local landowner John Talbot Clifton of Lytham Hall, and the lifeboat was duly named The Clifton.
The Clifton also had a tragic past. She capsized on exercise on 1 October 1852, and eight of the Lytham lifeboat crew were lost. The lifeboat didn't self-right, and it was later discovered that the crew had not understood the importance of the air boxes for self-righting capabilities, the boat being only the second self-righting lifeboat to be placed on service. Doors had been cut into the airtight boxes for storage, and the water ballast tanks had not been plugged, allowing the water to escape, thus cancelling any self-righting capability.
Following the transfer to Inishlyre, no records have been found of any further activity, service or rescue at the station. Other than detail from RNLI records giving the dates of operation, via the Lifeboat Enthusiasts Society handbook, there are also no details available about the closure, or the reasons. Westport Lifeboat Station was closed after just 5 years, in 1862.
The lifeboat house still stands next to the small jetty at Inishlyre. The Clifton lifeboat was withdrawn, and sold from service the same year. No further information of the boat is known.

Selected Collection of Qajar Era Maps of Iran
|
The Selected Collection of Qajar Era Maps of Iran is a historical archive housed at the Center for Documents and Diplomatic History of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran. This collection comprises approximately 500 hand-drawn or lithographic maps from the Qajar period (1789–1925), offering valuable insights into the cartographic and geopolitical landscape of Iran during that time.
Content and Significance
The maps in this collection utilize measurement units common in that era, such as zar (a traditional Persian cubit) and farsang (a Persian league, roughly equal to 6.24 kilometers). They cover a diverse range of subjects, including:
Maps of cities, villages, and settlements across Iran.
Water resources and traditional methods of water transportation.
Borderlines and territorial divisions.
Various regions of Iran, some of which were later renamed or separated due to political changes.
Due to their historical significance, these maps serve as an essential resource for researchers studying Iran's social, political, legal, and geographical transformations. They also provide crucial insights into Iran's regional influence and territorial changes over time.
UNESCO Recognition
In 2013, the collection was inscribed in UNESCO's Memory of the World Register, recognizing its historical and documentary value for global heritage.
Preservation and Research
The maps are preserved under the supervision of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, with ongoing efforts to digitize and catalog them for academic and research purposes. Scholars from various fields, including history, geography, and political science, frequently utilize the collection to analyze historical shifts in Iran's borders and urban development.
Related Collections
Similar historical cartographic archives exist in institutions such as the National Library and Archives of Iran and international museums holding Persian manuscripts and maps from the Qajar period.
The Selected Collection of Qajar Era Maps of Iran remains an invaluable reference for understanding the historical geography of Iran and its regional dynamics.

1944–45 Swiss 1. Liga
|
The 1944–45 1. Liga season was the 13th season of the 1. Liga since its creation in 1931. This was the first season of a completely new format in Swiss football.
Overview
Preamble
In Switzerland during the second world war, sport became an integral part of the "spiritual national defense". This was a political and cultural movement that had already become increasingly important during the late 1930s. Politicians, intellectuals and media professionals had increasingly called for measures to strengthen Switzerland's basic cultural values. Since the Nationalliga games were also considered to be one of the activities that seemed important for maintaining the morale of the population, the military authorities put considerably fewer obstacles in the way of the top players as they had during the previous World War.
ASF/SFV
Therefore, it came about that the Swiss Football Association (ASF/SFV) expanded themselves. The decision of the extraordinary assembly, held on 9 October 1943 in Lugano, was to double the number of members to 28 clubs for the 1944–45 season. The Nationalliga was divided into two strength classes each with 14 teams. The previous Nationalliga became the Nationalliga A (NLA), while the Nationalliga B (NLB) was newly formed with the 14 best teams of the previous 1. Liga season.
Format
From this moment, the 1. Liga became the third-tier of the Swiss football league system. It was also increased in size, from 25 clubs in two groups, to new three groups with 10 teams each. The remaining 11 clubs from last season were joined by 19 teams brought up from the next lowest tier. This format would be expanded over the next two seasons by adding one team pro group in both seasons, so that there would be 36 clubs in the division within two seasons. The teams were divided into three regional groups, this season each group with 10 teams. Within each individual group, the teams would play a double round-robin to decide their league position. Two points were awarded for a win and one point was awarded for a draw. The three group winners then contested a play-off round to decide the two promotion slots to the second-tier (NLB). The last placed team in each group was directly relegated to the 2. Liga, which now became the new fourth-tier.

Juliette Elmir
|
Juliette Elmir ( – 24 June 1976) was a Lebanese nurse and political activist. She was married to Antoun Sa’adeh, founder of the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP), and worked for the party. She became the first woman political prisoner in post Sykes-Picot Syria.
Biography
Elmir was born in Tripoli in 1909. She emigrated with her family to Argentina as a child, where she trained as a nurse and began training to become a doctor.
Antoun Sa'adeh, who had secretly founded the Syrian Social Nationalist Party (SSNP) in 1932, fled to Argentina in 1938 after facing political persecution from French colonial authorities. Elmir met him in 1939 and they began corresponding. Their date of marriage is unclear, recorded in various sources as 1940, 1941 or 1943, but they are known to have had three children. Sofia and Elissar were born in Argentina, and Raghida was born in Lebanon. After World War II and the country's independence from the French Mandate, Elmir and her husband returned to Lebanon in 1947.
In 1949, a revolution was declared against the Lebanese government, which ultimately failed. Elmir and her husband fled to Syria, whose president Husni al-Za'im had agreed to meet them. However, al-Za'im handed Sa'adeh over to the Lebanese authorities. Elmir was held in Saidnaya Monastery, where she learned that in less than 24 hours her husband and many of his followers were judged by a Lebanese military court and executed by a firing squad.
Shortly after his death, Elmir was appointed al-Amina al-ula (First Keeper or First Trustee) of the SSNP, and her home became the SSNP's headquarters. The SSNP allowed women to participate in activism and politics, setting a trend for the social norms for women in politics in the Levant.
Elmir became the first woman political prisoner in the Arab World, post Sykes-Picot Syria and the partitioning of the region. In 1955, she was accused of being involved in the assassination of the deputy chief of staff of the Syrian Army, Adnan al-Malki. Her property and belongings were confiscated and she was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Qala’a Dimashq (Citadel of Damascus). She was imprisoned for over ten years, but was released in 1967 on health grounds. She went into exile for a time in Paris, France. She lived there with her her middle daughter Elissar.
She died in 1976 in Beirut.
Her memoirs were posthumously published in 2004 and have been translated by Mazen Naous, Professor of the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Saraya al-Madina al-Munawara () is a Jihadist Iraqi and Sunni Islamist militant organization that operated during the Iraq war.
History
Saraya al-Madina al-Munawara was established in mid-2007 during the Iraq war against United States coalition soldiers and the Iraqi government. Though they were Jihadist, they had no affiliations with Al-Qaeda. The group was allies with the Islamic Army in Iraq, 1920 Revolution Brigades, and the Islamic State of Iraq without being under any umbrella organization.
Saraya al-Madina al-Munawara continued fighting in Iraq and expanded its operation during the start of the Syrian civil war. Though after the United States withdrawal from Iraq, the group became more underground with their operations. During the rise of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, Saraya al-Madina al-Munawara stated that they had good relations with the Islamic State though they had little to do with much of the fighting that was going on at the time.

Loch of Yarrows

The Loch of Yarrows is a freshwater loch and reservoir in Caithness, Scotland, around 2.46 km southwest of the settlement of Thrumster.
The loch is well known for the archaeological relics surrounding it. Just off its northeast shore are the remains of a crannog, and on its southwest shore is a Pictish broch, dating from sometime between 200BCE and 200AD. Just 1.35 km south of the loch is a chambered cairn believed to date to the Neolithic period. The basin surrounding the loch has been inhabited since the Mesolithic period.
An 1872 ordinance survey map lists the loch's name as "Yarehouse". Its etymology is unknown, though probably Scandinavian in origin.

1943–44 Swiss 1. Liga
|
The 1943–44 1. Liga season was the 12th season of the 1. Liga since its creation in 1931. At this time, the 1. Liga was the second-tier of the Swiss football league system, next season it would become the third-tier.
Overview
Preamble
In Switzerland during the second world war period, sport became an integral part of the "spiritual national defense". This was a political and cultural movement that had already become increasingly important during the late 1930s. Politicians, intellectuals and media professionals had increasingly called for measures to strengthen Switzerland's basic cultural values. Since the Nationalliga games were also considered to be one of the activities that seemed important for maintaining the morale of the population, the military authorities put considerably fewer obstacles in the way of the top players and leading clubs as they had during the previous World War.
ASF/SFV
Therefore, it came about that the Swiss Football Association (ASF/SFV) expanded themselves. The decision of the extraordinary assembly, held on 9 October 1943 in Lugano, was to double the number of members to 28 clubs for the 1944–45 season. The Nationalliga was then to be divided into two strength classes each with 14 teams. The top-tier would become the Nationalliga A (NLA) and a new second-tier, called Nationalliga B (NLB), would be formed with the 14 best teams of this 1. Liga season.
Format
There were 25 clubs competing in the 1. Liga this season. The teams were divided into two regional groups, the eastern group with 12 teams, the western group with 13 teams. Within each group, the teams would play a double round-robin to decide their league position. Two points were awarded for a win and one point was awarded for a draw. The two group winners then contested a play-off to decide the overall 1. Liga championship and the one promotion-slot to the top-tier. The best seven placed teams in each group would be assigned to the newly created NLB. The remaining teams would remain in the 1. Liga, which in the next season would become the third-tier with three groups, each with 10 clubs. In this season there was no relegations to the 2. Liga, which would become the new fourth-tier.

Promotion play-off

Michael Hannah, The Lost Years
|
Michael Hannah, The Lost Years is a 2003 pop album by English singer-songwriter Twinkle (Lynn Ripley).
The album is a compilation of songs originally produced in 1974, many of them inspired by and about model Michael Hannah, Ripley's former partner. Despite being completed in 1974 the recordings remained unreleased following the death of Hannah in the Turkish Airlines Flight 981 crash that same year. The master tapes were later presumed lost but were recovered and finally released in 2003.
Production
In 1973 Ripley was encuraged by model Michael Hannah (her one time partner) to continue making music in spite of recent setbacks after her initial hit songs in the late 1960s. Despite Ripley marrying their mutual friend and fellow model Graham Rogers in 1972 Hannah continued to have a strong impact on her and her songwriting. Work on a debut album for Ripley began at Instant Records with producer Mike d'Abo. d'Abo had earlier helmed production of her 1969 single "Micky" and it's B-side "Darby and Joan", as well as the song "Soldier", all of whom were inspired by Hannah. During recording he was killed aboard the Turkish Airlines Flight 981 accident in Paris. In the aftermath Ripley continued working on the album. Newly written songs, many of them with lyrics based on Hannah's life and the two's turbulent relationship were added, including the title track "Michael Hannah", but most of the material was never published. Only the promotional single "Days"/"Caroline" ended up being released by Bradley's Records. The master tapes for the album (intended to be an LP record originally titled simply Michael Hannah in tribute) were believed lost by the people involved following the project being cancelled. The tapes were found again in 2003 and the album was finally released by Acrobat as a CD. The published album includes "Soldier" as the ending track.
Track listing
Reception
The album received a positive review from Uncut. Caroline Boucher of The Observer gave the album a favorable review, stating that while the lyrics are "sometimes simplistic" it "nevertheless has its place as a stepping stone in the English order of things". Joe Marchese of The Second Disc found the album to be "a fine entry in singer-songwriter mode". East Anglian Daily Times called it "imperfect" but "moving, sometimes wonderfully so". Ian Canty of Louder Than War expressed that album would be eye-opening listening for anyone who was only familiar with Ripley's big hit "Terry". Canty noted what he felt was lyrical maturity compared to her earlier work. He also expressed shock that the album was not put out when it was completed.

Battle of Sardis (395 BC)
|
The Battle of Sardis took place in 395 BC during the Corinthian War, a conflict between Sparta and a coalition of Athens, Thebes, Corinth, and Argos, backed by the Achaemenid Empire of Persia. The battle saw a confrontation between Spartan forces led by Lysander and Persian troops commanded by Tissaphernes near the city of Sardis, the administrative center of Persian Asia Minor.
Background
Following the end of the Peloponnesian War (404 BC), Sparta emerged as the dominant Greek power but soon faced widespread opposition due to its aggressive policies in Greece and Asia Minor. Seeking to curtail Persian influence in Ionia, Lysander, the famed Spartan admiral who had orchestrated Athens’ defeat in 404 BC, sought to rally Greek cities against Persia.
By 395 BC, tensions escalated into open conflict, leading Sparta to launch a campaign in western Anatolia. Lysander, along with King Agesilaus II, led forces to counter Persian satraps, particularly Tissaphernes, who had been enforcing Persian authority in the region.
Battle
Lysander, commanding a Spartan detachment, advanced towards Sardis with the goal of striking a decisive blow against Tissaphernes. However, as he approached the city, Persian cavalry forces launched a sudden counterattack, overwhelming the Spartan troops. Lysander was killed in the engagement, leading to a disorderly retreat.
Shortly after Lysander’s death, King Pausanias of Sparta arrived with reinforcements, but he hesitated to engage the Persian forces decisively. This led to criticism from within Sparta, and Pausanias was later put on trial and exiled.
Aftermath
The death of Lysander at Sardis was a significant loss for Sparta. His absence weakened Spartan influence in Asia Minor and contributed to Agesilaus II’s eventual withdrawal from the Persian campaign. The battle demonstrated the effectiveness of Persian cavalry against Greek hoplites in open-field engagements.
Despite this setback, Sparta remained a dominant force in Greece, continuing its campaigns in the Corinthian War. However, Persian support for Sparta’s enemies, particularly Athens and Thebes, prolonged the conflict and ultimately helped check Spartan expansion.
Legacy
The Battle of Sardis (395 BC) is notable for being one of the few battles where a high-ranking Spartan leader was killed in action. It underscored the vulnerability of Greek land forces against Persian cavalry in Asia Minor and influenced the broader dynamics of the Corinthian War.
While the exact number of Spartan casualties remains unknown, the engagement was a moral and strategic blow to Sparta’s ambitions in the East.
