After Wassily's death in 1944 she oversaw his estate, selling works to major museums and after her death she bequeathed her remaining collection of his works and documents to the Centre Pompidou. In 1963 she played an "important role" in securing the first loan of artwork from the Russian government to an American museum since before WWII. She published "Wassily und ich: Mein leben mit einem großen Künstler" in 1976 and established the "Société Kandinsky" at the Centre Pompidou in 1979. She was murdered in 1980. Early life. Nina Nikolaevna Andreevskaya was the daughter of a Russian official. In 1916, when she met Wassily Kandinsky, she was living with her widowed mother and sister and working at the Visual Arts Section (IZQ) in the People's Commissariat for Enlightenment (NARKOMPROS) in Moscow. Relationship with Wassily Kandinsky. Nina met the Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky in May 1916. He had just ended a relationship with German artist Gabriele Münter. Nina and Wassily had previously spoken on the phone and Wassily, inspired by her voice, painted "En Hommage a Une Voix Inconnue" (In Tribute to an Unknown Voice). They met for the first time at the Pushkin Museum and married in Moscow six months later, on 11 February 1917, travelling to Finland for their honeymoon. They spent the summer in a dacha in Achtyrka and "were hardly apart for a single day" after that. Their only son, Vsevolod Vasilevich, was born in September 1917. After the 1917 October Revolution, Nina wrote in her diary about how their life in Moscow had become "unbearable" and that they "endured cold, hunger, and extreme hardship for years." The son died of a virus in June 1920. In December 1921 Nina accompanied Wassily to visit Walter Gropius and the Bauhaus in Berlin. Wassily was invited to teach there in March 1922 and they moved to Motzstraße, Berlin where he started teaching that July.

From 1922 onwards Nina began cataloguing the watercolours and oil paintings Wassily exhibited, including prices and other sale details. Around the same time, she arranged for Jean Leppien, a student of Kandinsky's, to translate Kandinsky's writing into French. In June 1926 they moved to a new house, where their neighbours were Paul and Lily Klee. Nina would remain in touch with Lily after the Kandinskys moved to Paris in 1933, the pair writing to each other of "domestic problems, financial difficulties, and their fears of war." In 1928 the Kandinskys obtained German citizenship. Nina photographed the "famous first meeting between Kandinsky, Rebay and the Guggenheims" at Bauhaus Dessau in 1930. Wassily gave Nina the following paintings as gifts : When the Bauhaus was closed by the Nazis in 1933, the Kandinskys were "compelled to leave". They travelled to Paris where Marcel Duchamp suggested they stay at Neuilly-sur-Seine. They hoped that they might return to Germany, but after a year they settled in France and never returned to Germany. This was where Wassily died in 1944. In 1938 there was a major retrospective of Wassily's work at the Guggenheim, New York which was "meticulously planned by Kandinsky and his wife". The art collector Peggy Guggenheim "did not get along with the proprietary and businesslike Nina." Having sought French citizenship since 1934, the Kandinskys were granted it in July 1939. Their German passports had expired and weren't renewed. In 1941 the American journalist Varian Fry arranged for the Kandinskys to obtain a visa for America, but they decided to stay in France. Managing Wassily's legacy. Of the role of artist's widow, she said, "The artist's widow is the guardian and administrator. She is courted, loved, coveted, detested, flattered and harassed.

She is accused of being difficult, vain, arrogant, capricious, unsociable, jealous, despotic, avaricious and egocentric." Three months after Wassily died, his having "never enjoyed the recognition he craved", Nina "took matters in hand" and contacted René Drouin, the owner of one of the few galleries that stayed open during the Occupation. She sent him "twelve canvases and three oil paintings on cardboard for a retrospective", repeating this three further times over the next three years. The New York-based banker-turned-art-dealer Karl Nierendorf took on a large consignment of Wassily's works from Nina in the 1940s. When he died in 1947 the pieces were passed on to Leo Castelli for whom at that point "everything was going very badly. No money, nothing." The "windfall" of Kandinsky's works meant that Castelli's business could thrive. However, he "expended a lot of energy coping with the very difficult widow" and developed the opinion that "sometimes dealing with living artists is easier than dealing with dead ones, particularly if a difficult widow is part of the negotiations." When Sonia Delaunay was considering what to do about her own husband's legacy, even though she never liked Nina, "had to admit [she] was effective in organising shows everywhere." In 1946 Nina provided "moral support" in establishing the "Prix Kandinsky" to "aid young artists working in the abstract mode". It was first awarded to Jean Dewasne and was awarded annually until 1957. In 1947 Nina authorised a new version of Wassily's 1910 essay "Uber das Geistige in der Kunst" (The Art of Spiritual Harmony) called "Concerning the Spiritual in Art", to which she added her own essay. In the 1960s Nina gave licence for a London-based jeweller to create jewellery pieces based on Wassily's art. In 1962 Nina objected to the publication of a book by Lothar-Günther Buchheim, "Der Blaue Reiter und die "Neue Künstervereinigung Münster"" because of its reference to Wassily's earlier relationship with Münther. The objection was ultimately unsuccessful, and the book was published.

Nina would loan pieces from her collection to exhibitions, including to the San Francisco Museum of Art in 1952, the Steinburg Gallery, Washington Museum (1963) and the Museum of Modern Art in 1969. She was a "major lender" of works for a 1963 retrospective of Kandinsky's work at the Guggenheim, and played an "important role in negotiations in Moscow to make possible the unprecedented loan to the Guggenheim of 7 important Kandinsky works from Russian museum collections." This was the first loan by the Russian government to an American museum since before WWII. Nina was friends with Georges and Claude Pompidou. Unlike the families of other artists such as Henri Laurens and George Rouault, she was an early supporter of the Centre Pompidou. While others protested against both the location of the building and its design, Nina made a donation of 15 paintings and 15 watercolours – including "Improvisation III" (1909) and "Mit b" (1912) - to the centre in 1976, becoming its single biggest benefactor up until that point. This donation encouraged others to donate works, including those by Constantin Brâncuşi, Max Ernst, Joan Miro and Antoine Pevsner. In the same year Nina published "Wassily und ich: Mein leben mit einem großen Künstler". Her intention of the book was to "dot the i's, because critics often don't do their research." In 1977 she was a guest of honour at the 40th anniversary of the Solomon R Guggenheim Foundation. She would keep a "sharp eye" on exhibitions of Wassily's work and would also authenticate his work, saying in 1978 "So many fakes – I saw 20 last year." Regarding this process of authentication, the American gallery owner Richard L. Feigen described needing to have a Kandinsky work authenticated by Nina.

He wrote "As I walked over to her with the painting in my hand, from a slight distance she said "That's a Kandinsky of 1904." But when she read the inscription ["Münter 06" – possibly a dedication to his former partner], she said "This is not a Kandinsky." According to Nina, no Kandinsky ever owned by Münter was a Kandinsky." In 1979 she founded the "Société Kandinsky", based at the Centre Pompidou, "to protect and promote the artist's oeuvre". In January 1980 she donated everything of Wassily's work that remained in her possession to the Centre.

DOB-NBOMe, or NBOMe-DOB, also known as "N"-(2-methoxybenzyl)-4-bromo-2,5-dimethoxyamphetamine, is a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist and possible psychedelic drug of the phenethylamine, DOx, and 25-NB (NBOMe) families. It is the "N"-(2-methoxybenzyl) derivative of DOB and the amphetamine (i.e., α-methyl) analogue of 25B-NBOMe. Pharmacology. The drug is a potent serotonin 5-HT2A receptor partial agonist, with an of 7.94nM and an of 20% in the employed assay. As an agonist of the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, DOB-NBOMe had about the same potency as DOB but had greatly reduced efficacy in comparison "in vitro" (with DOB having an of 10.2nM and an of 71%). Compared to 25B-NBOMe, the corresponding NBOMe analogue of 2C-B, DOB-NBOMe had about 30-fold lower potency as a serotonin 5-HT2A receptor agonist and about half the activational efficacy. Whereas the potency of 2Cs can be dramatically increased by "N"-(2-methoxybenzyl) substitution, this has not been the case with the DOx series of psychedelics, where activity has been negatively impacted. Discovery. DOB-NBOMe was first described in the scientific literature by Ralf Heim by 2003.

By mid-summer, the stems of highland rush growing on Twardy Grzbiet begin to brown, giving the peak a reddish hue.

""André Martin (philosopher)""
|
André Martin (1621–26 September 1695) was a French ecclesiastic and philosopher. Born at Bressuire in 1621 to Gabriel Martin and Marie Pouget, he was admitted to the Oratory of Jesus on 22 August 1641, and ordained a priest in 1646. The first member of the Oratory to publicly teach Cartesianism, Martin was ordered by François Bourgoing in 1652 to cease teaching his course in philosophy at Marseille and retire to Arles on account of continual disobedience to superiors' orders which was felt to expose the Oratory to danger from the Holy See and the civil authorities alike. In 1653, he published his most notable work, "Philosophia moralis christiana," under the pseudonym John Camerarius. This book, treating the principal subjects in philosophy according to the thought, and often following the words, of St Augustine of Hippo, was placed on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum by Pope Innocent X, and soon republished by its author under a new title and pseudonym as "Sanctus Augustinus" by Ambrose Victor. Nicolas Malebranche thought highly of this book. On account of his treatment of the existence of God in this work, Martin was branded an "atheist" by Jean Hardouin, who also regarded the works of St Augustine which it was based on as forgeries created by atheists. Martin is said to have also composed a work treating theology according to the thought of Augustine in the same manner, which was never printed. In 1679, Martin was appointed professor of theology at Saumur, where it is said that some Protestant professors, alarmed that Martin had induced several of their pupils to enter the Catholic Church, forbade the others to attend his lectures. The theses which Martin published while there were much sought after in their time, but were accused of favouring Jansenism, leading to his dismissal. Though the Bishop of Angers, Henri Arnauld, and the Archbishop of Paris, François de Harlay de Champvallon, found Martin innocent of heresy, King Louis XIV refused to restore him to his post. Martin died at Poitiers 26 September 1695.

""Suhrawardy ministry""

In 1943, under the leadership of Khawaja Nazimuddin, the parliamentary leader of the Bengal Provincial Muslim League (BPML), a branch of the All-India Muslim League (AIML), a provincial cabinet was formed in Bengal Province of British India. Around the same time, the Pakistan Resolution of the AIML was gaining popularity among the Muslims of the province, and the political party itself was growing in influence. Simultaneously, Nazimuddin's cabinet was increasingly criticized by the opposition for administrative corruption and failure to address the Bengal famine of 1943. As a result, Nazimuddin's influence within the BPML began to wane, while the influence of Huseyn Shaheed Suhrawardy started to rise. Although Nazimuddin's ministry enjoyed support from the British authorities, the party lost a no-confidence motion after losing 21 assembly members in 1945. Consequently, Syed Nausher Ali, the Speaker of the Bengal Legislative Assembly, declared the dissolution of the cabinet after a parliamentary vote. Although the BPML won again in the 1946 Bengal Legislative Assembly election, it failed to secure an absolute majority. Despite attempting to form a coalition cabinet with the Bengal Provincial Congress (BPC), the provincial branch of the Indian National Congress (INC), the effort was unsuccessful. Eventually, on 24 April 1946, a cabinet was formed under the leadership of Suhrawardy with seven ministers. Later, on 21 November 1946, with the removal of one and the addition of four members, the cabinet was expanded and responsibilities were redistributed. Dissolution. In 1947, the INC and the AIML agreed to the partition of India, leading to the creation of the modern states of India and Pakistan.

""Ulfat Ghazi""
|
Sayyid Ulfat Ghazi was a 17th-century nobleman, naval commander, and vizier to the Mughal emperor Jahangir (r. 1605–1627). He is particularly remembered for his role in the Mughal conquest of Bakla and his lasting legacy in the Barisal region of present-day Bangladesh. Biography. Ulfat Ghazi hailed from a noble Muslim family of Sayyids, tracing their lineage to Fatima, the daughter of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It has been variously asserted that his origins lie in regions as disparate as Delhi, Ghazipur, and Bihar, with no singular consensus prevailing among sources. Nevertheless, he resided in the city of Jahangir Nagar, now known as Dhaka, during his political and military service. He also contributed to the propagation of Islam in the Barisal region. Ulfat Ghazi played a crucial role in the Mughal conquest of Bakla in 1611, a key military campaign that consolidated Mughal authority in southern Bengal. While he is generally regarded as a vizier in the court of Jahangir, he has also been described as serving in a naval command capacity, reflecting the strategic importance of riverine and coastal warfare in Bengal during this Baro-Bhuiyan period. In recognition of his services, Emperor Jahangir separated the Tappe Nazirpur pargana from the larger Chandradwip pargana, thereby establishing a new administrative unit. This land grant was awarded to Sayyid Ulfat Ghazi, who became the Zamindar of Nazirpur, in what is now Barisal District. The toponymic origin of Wazirpur, literally translating to “City of the Vizier”, has been attributed by some to Wazir Sayyid Ulfat Ghazi, whose prominence in the Mughal administration may have lent the area its name; however, this interpretation remains contested, with alternative etymologies proposed by others. After his death, his son Sayyid Jan, also known by the spiritual title Sayyid Qutb Shah, settled in the village of Terachar. Ghazi's grandson, Sayyid Husayn Jan migrated to Nalchira, a village that would remain the family seat for generations. The Miah family of Nalchira, his descendants, maintained a prominent presence in the history of Barisal, often occupying influential positions for centuries.
