title: Ben Simons (bobsleigh)

text:
Ben Simons (born 13 November 1986) is a British bobsleigher and former athlete. He qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics in the 4-man discipline as part of Great Britain 2 team, behind pilot Lamin Deen, performing as the brakeman.

Biography
Simons was born in 1986 in Broseley, England. As a boy, he was a talented athlete, and he represented Wenlock Olympians at the age of eight. Simons progressed to competitive athletics, joining Telford Athletics club where he initially specialised in the long jump and triple jump. In 2008 he was accepted into University of Wales Institute, Cardiff (UWIC) and joined the University's athletics club. While at Cardiff, he began to concentrate more on his sprinting competing in the 60m and 100m events. He achieved some success as a sprinter, becoming Welsh 60m champion. Simons attended William Brookes School.

In 2012 while at UWIC he replied to an advert from British Bobsleigh who were searching for 'future Olympians'. He was accepted into the team, and was soon competing at international level. It was announced on 22 January 2014 that Simons would be competing in the bobsleigh for Great Britain at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, in the four-man bobsleigh; racing in the second team (GBR2) along with John Baines, Craig Pickering and pilot Lamin Deen. Commenting on the news, Simons said that "It means the world to me to be selected to compete for Team GB at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games". It was his debut Olympics.

In the process of qualification for GBR2, Simons said that there was a nervous tension, but that they got through to competing at the Olympics. In the run-up to the 2014 Olympics, Pickering was forced to pull out of the event due to a back injury and was replaced at short notice by Andrew Matthews. In the finals GBR2 finished in nineteenth place.

title: Rowan Cheshire

text:
Rowan Cheshire (born 1 September 1995) is a British freestyle skier, specialising in the halfpipe. Cheshire competed in the 2013 FIS Freestyle Skiing World Cup in Voss, Norway, where she finished 17th. She won a bronze medal at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Valmalenco. In January 2014 she became the first British female skier to win a halfpipe competition on the FIS Freestyle Skiing World Cup when she took the halfpipe event at a meeting in Calgary. This was the first Freestyle World Cup win for a British female skier since Jilly Curry won an aerials competition in 1992.

She was competing at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, during which she was knocked unconscious whilst in training. After the crash, she  withdrew from the Olympics. The accident left her with a broken nose and severe concussion, and was the first of three head injuries she sustained over a period of 18 months which resulted in her suffering severe physical and mental side effects. However, after two years away from the sport she returned to competition in December 2016, finishing fourth in a Revolution Tour event at Copper Mountain, Colorado, going on to take a top 30 finish in the first halfpipe competition of the 2016–17 FIS Freestyle Skiing World Cup which was also hosted by Copper Mountain, followed by a 14th place in a World Cup competition in Mammoth Mountain in January 2017.

She competed at the 2018 Winter Olympics qualifying for the halfpipe skiing final.

title: Southern Sociological Society

text:
The Southern Sociological Society (SSS) was established in 1935 by a group of colleagues in Knoxville, Tennessee in an organizational meeting April 20–21. This meeting emerged from an earlier gathering of Southern sociologists at the American Sociological Society (now the American Sociological Association) in 1934 between Charles S. Johnson, E. T. Krueger, Wilson Gee, and probably Rupert Vance (who worked for Johnson). The organization of the Knoxville meeting was chaired by E.T. Krueger, the program made by William E. Cole, and the constitution drafted by Rupert Vance with assistance from Wilson Gee.

Suggested as early as 1932 by one Wilson Gee and others. A year earlier, in 1934. Simpson credits Gee as the father for Gee “kept alive the idea for at least three years, and the mission of the Society expressed at Knoxville reflects his deep commitment to research on problems of the South”.
During a time of Jim Crow segregation, the early founders of the Southern Sociological Society demanded a policy that all of its meetings be held in integrated hotels.
The Southern Sociological Society is a society of academic professionals that promotes the development of sociology as a profession and scientific discipline by the maintenance of high academic professional and ethical standards, and by encouraging effective teaching of sociology, valid and reliable methods and research in the study of human society, diffusion of sociological knowledge and its application to societal problems, cooperation with related disciplines and groups, recruitment and training of sociologists, and development of sociology programs in educational and other agencies.

Social Currents

With SAGE Publications, as of February 2014 the Southern Sociological Society publishes Social Currents, "the official journal of the Southern Sociological Society, is a broad-ranging social science journal that focuses on research from all methodological and theoretical orientations with implications for national and international sociological communities".

title: Bert Turner (footballer, born 1907)

text:
Albert Turner (3 September 1907 – 1959) was an English footballer  who played outside left in the 1930s for Hull City, Walsall, Doncaster Rovers, Cardiff City and Bristol Rovers.

Playing career

Doncaster Rovers
Turner began his career at Hull City, then moved to Walsall for one and a bit seasons. He was then being brought to 3rd Division North side Doncaster, by manager David Menzies, midway through the 1933–34 season. Scoring on his debut on 16 December in a 4–2 home victory against Gateshead, that season he netted 14 goals over 22 games as Rovers finished the season in 5th position.

The following season, he was the leading scorer at the club with 26, including 1 cup goal, an impressive achievement for a winger. On 16 February 1935, Turner scored 5 in a 7–1 win against visitors New Brighton. He also scored in five consecutive matches and then six consecutive matches during this 1934–35 season, a season where Doncaster finished as League Champions.

In 1935–36, the newly promoted club finished in 18th place out of 22 in the 2nd Division, but Turner still scored 10 times including a cup goal, ending up as 3rd top scorer behind Reg Baines and Dizzie Burton.

On 21 October 1936, Turner played in Rovers first match abroad. He had a goal controversially disallowed in a 7–2 defeat by the Dutch National XI in Rotterdam. During this season he played in 18 out of the 42 league games, with C. Johnston playing outside left in most of the others. Following Rovers finishing bottom of the league and being relegated, manager Fred Emery decided to have a clear out resulting in Turner moving to Cardiff City.

Cardiff City
Turner scored 20 times playing on the left wing in the 1937–38 season at Cardiff in the 3rd Division South.

Bristol Rovers
After only one season with Cardiff, Turner moved to fellow 3rd Division South side Bristol Rovers where he played until the outbreak of the war.

title: List of unsolved problems in geoscience

text:
This list provides references to notable unsolved problems in geoscience.

The early Earth and the Solar System
 Was there ever a collision of the Earth with another planet Theia, giving birth to the Moon? There is compelling evidence, such as measures of a shorter duration of the Earth's rotation and lunar month in the past, pointing to a Moon much closer to Earth during the early stages of the Solar System.
 What is the long-term heat balance of Earth? How did its internal temperature decay since it formed by accretion of chondrites? How abundant are radiogenic elements in the interior? Did a "faint young Sun" ever warm a "snowball Earth"?

Topography and environment
Can the now widely available topographic data be used to derive past tectonic and climatic conditions (in the multi-million year scale)? Do we know enough about the erosion and transport processes? Does the stochasticity of meteorological and tectonic events reflect in the landscape? How much has life contributed to shape the Earth's surface?
Can classical geomorphological concepts such as peneplanation or retrogressive erosion be quantitatively understood? Old mountain ranges such as the Appalachian or the Urals seem to retain relief for >108 years, while subglacial fluvial valleys under Antarctica are preserved under moving ice of kilometric thickness since the Neogene. What controls the time-scale of topographic decay?
What are the erosion and transport laws governing the evolution of the Earth's Surface? Rivers transport sediment particles that are at the same time the tools for erosion but also the shield protecting the bedrock. How important is this double role of sediment for the evolution of landscapes?
How resilient is the ocean to chemical perturbations?
What controls the dynamics of storm tracks?
 Mechanisms that cause oscillations in equatorial climate remain under intense study. The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) of the equatorial Pacific Ocean temperature is difficult to predict more than a few months in advance. The Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) of the equatorial stratospheric winds is somewhat regular at ~28 months but the cause has been heavily debated. Are these stochastic, chaotic, or deterministically forced behaviors?
 What are skyquakes?
 What causes Hessdalen lights?

Structure of crust, mantle, and core
The 'space problem': How are granite magma chambers emplaced in the crust? What are the structures and locations of the magmatic systems that might cause supervolcanoes? What are the viscosities and densities of the magma chambers and the details of magma migration?
What are the non-uniformities and rheological details of the mantle? What is the structure of the 660 km discontinuity and its relation to the correct model of the polar drift?
What is the precise nature of chemical heterogeneity associated with the Gutenberg discontinuity?
What are the light alloying elements in the Earth's outer core and how are they distributed? What are the heterogeneities of the core and their dynamical significance?
Does the internal mantle structure provide the resonance for the Chandler wobble of the Earth's axis or is it some other external mechanism? No available motions seem to be coherent drivers for the wobble period of 433 days.

title: Salting the Battlefield

text:
Salting the Battlefield is a 2014 British political thriller television film, written and directed for the BBC by the British writer David Hare. It follows Page Eight, which aired on BBC Two in August 2011 and Turks & Caicos, which aired in 2014.

Plot
Following their flight from Turks and Caicos, Johnny Worricker (Bill Nighy) and Margot Tyrell (Helena Bonham Carter) hopscotch around Europe to evade capture by MI5. After spotting one of his former recruits, disguised as a passing jogger, Johnny relocates once again and instructs former colleague Rollo Maverley (Ewen Bremner) to leak news of Prime Minister Alec Beasley's (Ralph Fiennes) corrupt dealings with Stirling Rogers (Rupert Graves) and his Bridge Foundation. Margot secretly keeps in touch with Johnny's pregnant daughter Julianne (Felicity Jones). In London, Acting Director General Jill Tankard (Judy Davis) contacts Deputy Prime Minister Anthea Catcheside (Saskia Reeves) and offers her services in aiding Catcheside's embattled husband.

Johnny and Margot separate on their way back into Britain to confound their pursuers. While Johnny disappears and travels via the English Channel, an errant MI5 agent runs into Margot on a train and alerts his superiors. Rollo aids Margot's escape and delivers her to Reverend Bernard Towers (Malcolm Sinclair), a friend of Johnny's from Cambridge. Johnny contacts Belinda Kay (Olivia Williams), editor-in-chief of The Independent and details the workings of the financial deals surrounding Beasley, Rogers and The Bridge. Kay's publication of the information causes Rogers to resign from the foundation and admit to his misdeeds, despite Beasley's assurances.

Julianne contacts Margot after learning that her boyfriend (Shazad Latif) was an MI5 plant who has bugged her flat. Johnny arranges a meeting with Beasley at 10 Downing Street, demanding he call off the surveillance against his daughter. Beasley reveals that he intends to leave office and assume the title of Consul General to Iran, with American funding and UN cover. Johnny is then summoned to a meeting with Tankard, who reveals that she engineered Beasley's downfall after seeing the extent of the Page Eight, the intelligence that started the scandal. Through her burying of Bill Catcheside's legal troubles, Tankard has Anthea, Beasley's planned successor, in her pocket. Tankard asks Johnny to return to MI5, an offer he reluctantly accepts in return for Julianne and Margot's safety and Maverley's reinstatement into MI5.

Back in Margot's apartment, Johnny sees Margot leaving for Hong Kong to work in a start-up. Margot mentions that Julianne is in labour, accompanied by her mother. The film closes with scenes of Margot leaving, Johnny walking across London to the MI5 headquarters, and Julianne giving birth to her child.

title: Great Britain Bandy Association

text:
The Great Britain Bandy Association (GBBA) is the governing body of the sport of bandy in the United Kingdom. It is based in The Fens part of Cambridgeshire, East Anglia. Formerly, the federation was named Bandy Federation of England. After some years with less activity, the federation was restarted and given the name England Bandy Federation in January 2017. In September 2017 the present name was adopted, as the federation widened its scope to all of the UK.

The men's Great Britain national bandy team made its debut at the 2019 Bandy World Championship. A Great Britain women's national bandy team has also been formed and made its international debut in 2022 at the 2022 Women's Bandy World Championship.

The Association has the purpose to have a full-size indoor bandy field in the Littleport Ice Stadium, which is yet to be funded (2018). Apart from that, rink bandy will be arranged where there are no full-size bandy rinks.

Organisation
President is Rev Lyn Gibb-de Swarte of Littleport and a past resident of Streatham in southwest London, where she was chair of the Streatham ice speed club, ice hockey club and of the association of ice clubs. Vice Presidents; Thomas Parker and Clare Ledbury. The chair is Andrew Hutchinson. The treasurer is Tammy Nichol Twallin. General Secretary, Fixtures and Minutes Secretary, Cathy Gibb-de Swarte. They are all busy promoting the sport for all and will be instituting rink bandy around the country. The president is the project director of the Littleport Ice Stadium Project and plans are already drawn for a 400 metres indoor speed skating oval and an inner ice pad 100 × 60 metres bandy pitch.

History of bandy in England
Bandy has a proud history in Britain. England is seen as one of the sport's birthplaces, together with Wales and Russia where a similar game developed simultaneously. Games which can be seen as bandy were played in the Fens in the 19th Century. The first English governing body for bandy, the National Bandy Association, was founded in 1891. The first rules were written down by Charles Goodman Tebbutt in 1882.

Some English sports clubs had both football and bandy on their programme in the 19th Century, playing bandy when there was snow and ice in the winter time, for instance Nottingham Forest F.C. The match which was later dubbed the original bandy match, was held at the Crystal Palace in London in 1875. However, at the time, the game was called "hockey on the ice", probably as it was considered an ice variant of field hockey. The first international match took place in 1891 between the English Bury Fen Bandy Club and Haarlemsche Hockey & Bandy Club, the present HC Bloemendaal from the Netherlands. The same year, the National Bandy Association was started in England. England national bandy team won the 1913 European Bandy Championships in Davos, Switzerland, where national teams from eight countries played. Following the outbreak of the First World War, the interest for bandy vanished in England and the National Bandy Association was discontinued.

There is now a renewed interest in the sport steered by the new Great Britain Bandy Federation. The president of the Football Association, Prince William, enthusiastically took part in a bandy event in Stockholm in January 2018.

Luís Wittnich Carrisso (14 February 1886 – 14 June 1937) was a Portuguese botanist, professor at the University of Coimbra.

Carrisso was born in Figueira da Foz. He attended the Faculty of Philosophy of University of Coimbra (1904-1910). After graduating he became a student of botanist Julio Augusto Henriques. Carrisso took interest in evolution and heredity and presented his PhD thesis Hereditariedade in 1911. He published scientific work on ecology and plant systematics.

In 1918, he became Professor of Botany at University of Coimbra's Botanical Garden. He was a supporter of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution but was skeptical of the role of natural selection. He embraced mutationism.

He died on 6 June 1937 in the Namib desert (Moçâmedes), in Angola, of cardiac syncope, during his third botanical expedition to that country. A monument was erected at the site in his memory.

title: Francisco del Moral y Sánchez

text:
Francisco del Moral Sánchez Villegas was the governor of Spanish Florida from mid-1734 to early 1737.

Government in Florida
Moral Sánchez was appointed governor of the Spanish province of La Florida in 1734, assuming office on May 21 of that year.

In 1735 Moral Sánchez took steps to promote the production of naval stores, spars and masts to supply Cuban shipbuilders, but subsequent governors did little to continue this effort. That same year, he complained to the viceroyalty of New Spain that the merchants of Puebla (in modern Mexico) made a fifty percent profit on all goods shipped to Florida.

The following year, the British captured a Spanish ship carrying supplies and money from New Spain to the Spanish soldiers of Florida. Due to the resulting shortage of food, Moral decided to pay them with rum to try to alleviate their hunger or at least make them forget it temporarily.

During his administration, Moral Sánchez ordered Captain Rodrigo de Ortega to make a list of all the Native American provinces and towns, both Christian and unconverted, that once paid obeisance to the Spanish Crown. By 1736, the widely dispersed Franciscan missions of Spanish Florida had been reduced to a few in the area around St. Augustine, and more Indians in the interior were beginning to exchange goods with British and French traders. In the same year, Moral Sánchez reached a compromise with General James Oglethorpe, the governor of the British colony of Georgia, and signed a treaty with his representative, Charles Dempsey, by which the St. Johns River was recognized as a boundary between the neighboring colonies. Both parties agreed to control their Indian allies to try to avoid clashes each other.

Accepting the engineer Antonio de Arredondo's recommendations to improve St. Augustine's water and land defenses, in 1737 Moral Sanchez ordered the construction of two small wooden fortresses where the Indian trail to Apalachee crossed the St. Johns, including blockhouses, barracks, storehouses and batteries. One was built at Picolata on the east side, and another, Fort San Francisco de Pupo, on the opposite bank.

On March 12, 1737, Moral Sánchez was arrested, forced to leave the governorship, and recalled to Spain; he was replaced by Manuel Joseph de Justís.

title: Vale of Bannock F.C.

text:
Vale of Bannock Football Club was a Scottish association football club based in the town of Bannockburn, Stirlingshire.

History

The club was founded in 1880. The club took part in the first Stirlingshire Cup in 1883–84 and in 1886 joined the Scottish Football Association, making it eligible to enter the Scottish Cup from the 1886–87 season.

Scottish Cup

The club won two ties in the main rounds of the Scottish Cup before the introduction of qualifying rounds from 1891 to 1892, after which the club never qualified for the first round again.  Both times it did so (in 1886–87 and 1888–89) the club was drawn to face East Stirlingshire in the second round; the first time the club scratched rather than face inevitable defeat, the second time it did turn up, but lost 11–2, which remains the Shire's joint-record victory.

For the most part the Vale was just as unsuccessful in the regional tournament, its first round defeat to Grangemouth in 1891–92 seeing the club concede 6 goals in the first 10 minutes; the start being blamed on a rough carriage journey.  The game finished 10–0, Graham of Grangemouth scoring a double hat-trick.

Stirlingshire Cup run

The club's best run in the Stirlingshire Cup 1887–88; the Vale was 2–1 up against Campsie in its first tie in 1883–84 with half-an-hour remaining when Campsie walked off due to the "hopeless" weather of a "perfect gale of wind and sleet", and Campsie won the replay.  In 1887–88, the club went on a remarkable run to the semi-final, winning 5–3 at Redding Athletic and 3–2 against Slamannan en route.  The win at tiny Redding was somewhat Pyrrhic, as not only did the minuscule gate (of no more than 30) mean that there was no gate money for the Vale to share, but the Vale was even forced to pay a penny towards the refereeing expenses.

In the semi-final, it took Falkirk three matches to beat the Vale; the original tie ended in a Falkirk win, but was ordered to be replayed, the match finishing in the dark after Falkirk turned up late at Viewvale Park. The replay, also at Viewvale, ended in a draw, Falkirk taking the lead through a freak own goal after a high defensive header "by the force of the wind was carried throughb just below the bar, somewhat to the astonishment of the goalkeeper and the spectators", but the Vale equalized the tie at 2–2 in the 89th minute.

Falkirk finally won through 4–1 at Brockville, in front of 3,000 spectators, although there was adverse comment about the "brutality and treachery which are characteristic of the Falkirk team", Law being sent off for kicking Kemp early in the second half, but the Vale gaining no advantage as Kemp had to leave the field.

Nevertheless, the Vale had made friends through its plucky efforts, with many neutrals hoping to see the club win the Stirling Charity Cup, in which it had reached the final for the first time. However the club was handicapped by losing Stevenson to Aberdeen and Hunter to injury, and was hammered 8–0 by King's Park.

End of the club

The Vale had one final hurrah in the Charity Cup in 1892–93, beating Bridge of Allan in the semi-final, but again lost 8–0 to King's Park in the final. The club withdrew from the Scottish and Stirlingshire Cups in 1893–94 before playing a fixture, and, along with fellow Stirlingshire senior sides Campsie, Denny, and Bridge of Allan, "gave up the ghost" in 1894, the blame being put on the effects of professionalism.

Colours

The club originally played in "sombre" dark blue and red hooped jerseys, with white knickers. By 1887 the jerseys were black and red hoops.

Ground

The club's first ground was Viewvale Park; from 1884 to 1888 it played at Muir Park before returning to Viewvale in early 1888, there still being unset tar on the fittings for the Stirlingshire Cup tie with Falkirk. The highest recorded crowd was 800, against King's Park in the 1888–89 Charity Cup semi-final.

title: Dragon Gold Cup

text:
The Dragon Gold Cup is an annual sailing race for the Dragon class since 1937, organized by the International Dragon Association and the Clyde Yacht Clubs' Association.

The most successful sailor is Danish Aage Birch, with seven titles, followed by fellow Danish Ole Berntsen, with five titles. In total, Danish crews have won 32 titles.

History
The International Dragon Cup was presented in 1937 by members of the Clyde Yacht's Conference with the intention of bringing together as many competitors of different nationalities as possible for yacht racing in Europe in a friendly spirit, in order to perpetuate the good feeling which existed at the first International Clyde Fortnight. The Clyde Yacht Clubs' Conference has been reconstituted as the Clyde Yacht Clubs' Association and the International Dragon Cup has become known as, and is now renamed, the 'Dragon Gold Cup'.

Members of the Clyde Yacht Clubs' Association created specific rules for this competition and donated a perpetual trophy made of pure gold for an annual international race.
From the beginning, the Gold Cup was considered a family event for the Dragon sailors and could be raced by yachts of the International Dragon Class belonging to any country, and for this reason was a very well attended event.

Until 1965, the year of the first Official World Championship, the Gold Cup was considered the unofficial World Cup. The first rules created by the Clyde Yacht Clubs' Association established that the Cup should be sailed annually and that the Cup should be retained by the winner for one year only. It also established that the event should take place in rotation in the following countries: Scotland, France, Sweden, Germany, Holland and Denmark.

With the revision of the rules in 1997, the number of hosting countries was enlarged to eleven: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom.

The hosting country and the Organising Authority continue to be selected by the Clyde Yacht Clubs' Association in conjunction with the International Dragon Association and the number of participants was limited to 120.

title: Justine Paris

text:
Justine Paris, real name Bienfait (1705September 1773), was a French courtesan and madam. She hosted several of the most famous brothels in mid-18th-century Paris and was one of the most known and successful of her trade. She and her brothel are portrayed in the memoirs of Casanova. She has been suggested to be the role model for the title character in Juliette by the Marquis de Sade.

Biography
Reportedly, she was a successful and internationally known courtesan before she opened the first of several brothels. For twenty years from about 1730, she operated a well-known brothel at Rue de Bagneux, Faubourg Saint-Germain, described as the perhaps most exclusive in contemporary Paris. In 1750, following a riot, she opened a brothel at Hotel du Roule which acquired fame and which was later taken over by Madame Carlier.

Her brothel at Hotel du Roule was described by Casanova. It was located outside the city of Paris, near Chaillot, which meant that the clients could not go there by foot, which ensured that they mostly came from the upper class. While most brothels in mid 18th-century Paris had no more than three prostitutes working in the brothel at any one time, Justine Paris had 14 and she also employed a master of writing, dance and music to educate them. According to Casanova, she charged by the hour. As with other madams engaged in elite prostitution for clients from the nobility, the activity of Justine Paris was tolerated by the police as long as she functioned as a police agent and kept the police informed about the activity, business and life of their important clients and personnel.

The rental of rooms to couples, in which none of the parties were prostitutes, but where their relationship was not accepted, such as in the case of a married woman and her lover, also took place, a service which was to be well known to occur in the famous brothel she was later to found in companionship with Gourdan. She changed staff about every six months, and according to Casanova, she always had prostitutes of a large variety of hair color, length and other different attributes to be able to meet with different forms of preferences from clients. She financed kept mistresses, so called dames entretenues or courtesans, in between patrons; clients could buy a member of her staff free by paying her debts and have her kept as his professional mistress, where the mistress could continue as a professional kept mistress to other wealthy men.

In February 1752, Justine Paris was tried and incarcerated accused of having seduced a twelve-year-old boy from a noble family in a case that attracted attention. In 1773, she met her colleague Marguerite Gourdan at Bicêtre Hospital while undergoing a treatment for syphilis. Together, they founded what was to be the perhaps most famous of all brothels in 18th-century France, on the corner of rue des Deux Portes (now rue Dussoubs) and rue Saint-Sauveur. However, she died of syphilis in September of that year. Gourdan gave a funeral oration in her honour on 14 November 1773 at a gathering of Paris's elite prostitutes and madams organised by the Prince of Conti at his residence.

title: Mankjur al-Farghani

text:
Mankjur or Minkajur al-Farghani () or al-Ushrusani () was a 9th-century Iranian military officer in the service of the Abbasid Caliphate. He was a cousin of the prominent Abbasid general Khaydhar ibn Kawus al-Afshin, thus belonging to the ruling family of Ushrusana. Mankjur accompanied al-Afshin in his campaign against the Khurramite Babak Khorramdin, and was later appointed as governor of Adharbayjan by him in 837. However, in 839, Mankjur, after refusing to give the caliph al-Mu'tasim some of Babak's booty, revolted against him. Al-Mu'tasim responded by sending against him Bugha al-Kabir, who managed to suppress his revolt and imprison him in Samarra. The affair of Mankjur raised suspicions about the loyalty of the al-Afshin, who was accused of encouraging the revolt, and contributed to the general's own downfall in the following year.

Name and background
Mankjur's nisbah is given variously by the sources as al-Ushrusani or al-Farghani, respectively indicating an origin from the Central Asian provinces of Ushrusana or Farghana. Historian Clifford Edmund Bosworth believed that the first element of Mankjur's name may have been a corruption of the Turkish "ming/bing '1,000' or mengü 'eternal, everlasting,'" and that Mankjur may have been a Turkish slave soldier imported into Farghana prior to entering caliphal service.

According to Vladimir Minorsky, the Mingechaur ford (now the Mingachevir reservoir in Azerbaijan) of the Kura River was named after Mankjur, who may have been active in the area during his time in Adharbayjan.

Career

Mankjur was a kinsman of the Ushrusanan ruler al-Afshin, one of the leading military figures during the caliphate of al-Mu'tasim (r. 833–842); according to al-Ya'qubi he was the uncle of one of al-Afshin's sons. During al-Afshin's campaign against the Khurramite rebel Babak Khorramdin in Adharbayjan (835–837), Mankjur was dispatched by the general to fight against a separate revolt in Warthan. In 837, following the victory over Babak, Mankjur was appointed by al-Afshin to serve as his resident governor of Adharbayjan, while al-Afshin himself departed the province and returned to Samarra.

According to al-Tabari, Mankjur was believed to have acted in a corrupt manner during his governorship, appropriating for himself a large sum of money hidden away by Babak rather than forwarding it to the caliph. His alleged activities were soon revealed by the postmaster of Adharbayjan, who wrote to al-Mu'tasim and informed him about the money. Mankjur immediately wrote to the caliph in response, calling the accusation a lie, and the dispute between him and the postmaster quickly escalated. Mankjur eventually decided to kill the postmaster, but the latter sought refuge in Ardabil, prompting Mankjur to attack the city in retaliation.

News of these events reached al-Mu'tasim, who responded by ordering al-Afshin to send someone to dismiss Mankjur. Al-Afshin accordingly dispatched Abi'l-Saj Devdad to the province, but allegations began to circulate that al-Afshin was in fact secretly supporting Mankjur, and al-Mu'tasim decided to send Bugha al-Kabir to fight Mankjur instead. Mankjur now came out openly in rebellion, but was soon defeated on the field and forced to retreat. He then rebuilt a mountain fortress which had been destroyed by Babak and fortified himself in it, relying on the mountain's inaccessibility to defend him. Despite this, his rebellion came to an end less than a month later; varying accounts state that he was either betrayed by his men and handed over to the caliphal army, or that he received a guarantee of safe conduct from Bugha. In any case, he was brought back by Bugha to Samarra, where al-Mu'tasim ordered him to be thrown into prison.

Mankjur's rebellion proved damaging to the reputation of al-Afshin, who was suspected of secretly corresponding with Mankjur and encouraging him to revolt. This belief, combined with other accusations of treason against the caliph, ultimately resulted in al-Afshin being arrested in 840 for conspiring against the state, and led to his imprisonment and death in the following year.

title: Emilio Del Giudice

text:
Emilio Del Giudice (1 January 1940 – 31 January 2014) was an Italian theoretical physicist who worked in the field of condensed matter. Pioneer of string theory in the early 1970s, later on he became better known for his work with Giuliano Preparata at the Italian Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN);

Biography
During the 1970s, along with Sergio Fubini, Paolo Di Vecchia and Gabriele Veneziano, Del Giudice was at the centre of an active school of theoretical physicists with close connections to Italy (with one of the Italian INFN and MIT financed "Bruno Rossi" exchange programs). He and his co-workers did fundamental work in string theory.

For many years he was involved in quantum field theory and its relations with the physics of collective, coherent processes. He pioneered the quantum field theory of soft matter, focusing mainly on the structure of liquid water; in the latter part of his life, he also investigated, together with Luc Montagnier, the relation between water and living matter. He is among the authors of the seminal work on the Oxhydroelectric effect.

He worked at Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen, as well; then became a member of the International Institute of Biophotonics, Neuss, Germany.

Awards
Professor Del Giudice was awarded the Prigogine Medal in 2009. On that occasion, he delivered a plenary lecture entitled "The interplay of Quantum Field Theory and Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes as a conceptual basis for Biology and Ecosystem Dynamics".

title: The Door Is Still Open to My Heart (album)

text:
The Door Is Still Open to My Heart is a 1964 studio album by Dean Martin, produced by Jimmy Bowen and featuring arrangements by Ernie Freeman, Gus Levene and Marty Paich.

Three of the songs from the album, ("I'm Gonna Change Everything," "The Middle of the Night Is My Cryin' Time," and "My Sugar's Gone") had previously featured on Martin's 1963 album Dean "Tex" Martin Rides Again.

The Door Is Still Open to My Heart peaked at number 9 on the Billboard 200. "Send Me the Pillow You Dream On," which went into the Top 20 of the pop charts and the Top 5 of the easy listening chart.

"You're Nobody till Somebody Loves You" was released as a single from the album and was a Top 40 hit for Martin, and his third song to top the Easy Listening charts.

Reception

William Ruhlmann on AllMusic gave the album three stars out of five and commented that aside from the songs newly recorded for the album, "the resulting lineup fit for the most part into the "hit plus filler" formula of albums assembled mainly for people who didn't like to buy 45s."

title: That Day We Sang

text:
That Day We Sang is a British musical written and composed by Victoria Wood. It is based on a true story of the reunion of a famous recording of Nymphs and Shepherds in 1929 by The Manchester Children's Choir.

2011 Manchester International Festival
The play was commissioned for the Manchester International Festival, and was first performed at the Manchester Opera House in July 2011, under the direction of Victoria Wood, for just ten performances. The cast was accompanied by a choir and the Hallé Youth Orchestra.

2014 television film

Provisionally entitled Tubby and Enid, filming of a television adaption began on 6 January 2014 using locations in Liverpool, Manchester and Huddersfield Town Hall. It was produced by Paul Frift with executive producers Hilary Bevan Jones and Matthew Read and eventually broadcast under the original name on 26 December 2014. Seen by 2.57 million viewers, it was the 8th most watched programme on BBC2 that week. It was Wood's last major work before her death in April 2016.

title: Mirsaid Mirshakar

text:
Mirsaid Mirshakar or Mirsaid Mirshakarov (5 May 1912 – 1 August 1993) was a Soviet and Tajikistani poet, writer, dramatist and editor. A representative of the Supreme Council of the SSR of Tajikistan, a member of the Central Committee of the Republic of Tajikistan, the chairman of the Republican Committee of Sympathy with Asian and African Countries, a member of the Presidium of the Soviet Committee of Sympathy with Asian and African Countries, a member of the board of the Union of Writers of Tajikistan.

Life and career
Mirsaid Mirshakar was the son of a farmer, born in the village of Sindev, Pamir, Russian Empire, now Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province, Tajikistan. He graduated from the Central Soviet Party School in Dushanbe in 1930, and his works began to appear in print the same year. He became a member of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1944 and was the People's Poet of the Tajik Soviet Socialist Republic in 1962.

From 1932 to 33, Mirshakar served as the editor of the newspaper Sokhtmoni Vakhsh. He wrote narrative poems glorifying historic events in the life of the Tajik people after the October Revolution. Mirshakar was considered one of the founders of Tajik children's literature. His writings for children were the subject of the doctoral thesis of literary critic Jonon Bobokalonova.

Mirshakar served as the executive secretary of the Writers’ Union in Tadzhik from 1940 to 1943 and from 1946 to 1959. He also served in a number of administrative positions, including Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Tajik SSR. For his service as a poet, Mirshakar was awarded several state prizes for his works.
