title: Notogibbula lehmanni

text:
Notogibbula lehmanni, common name the many-coloured top shell, is a species of small sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Trochidae, the top shells.

The fossil record of this species goes back to the Early Pleistocene.

Description
The size of the shell varies between 6 mm and 9 mm. The umbilicate shell is rather thin and has an orbicular-conoid shape. The six whorls are separated by impressed sutures.  The first whorl is eroded, the following are angular, flattened above, gradate, strikingly painted, spirally lirate. The delicate lirae number about 12 on the penultimate whorl. The body whorl is dilated, biangular, ornamented with transverse white and reddish-violet interrupted lines, like flexuous rays. At the suture and periphery, there are zones formed of violet-brown spots alternating with white or yellowish ones. The base of the shell is convex, with 15 to 16 concentric lirae. The coloration is white and reddish tessellated. The aperture subovate and has thin margins. The columella is arcuate, subnodose inside below. The white umbilical tract is funnel-shaped.

Distribution
This marine species is endemic to Australia and occurs off New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia

Johan Hjalmar (John) Munsterhjelm (December 11, 1879 Tuulos – 16 August 1925 Helsinki) was a Finnish sculptor.

Biography

He was born to painter Magnus Hjalmar Munsterhjelm and Olga Mathilda Tanninen in Tuulos. He first aimed to become an architect while studying at Helsinki Polytechnical Institute, but he became more interested in applied arts. He studied at a kunstgewerbeschule in Berlin 1902–1903. He went onto further study at the Royal School of Art in Berlin. He ended up living in Berlin until 1911 while also making study tours in Scandinavia, Belgium, France and Italy. In 1909 he married German Hedvig Schneider. The same year he sculpted a bust of Jean Sibelius. He made decorative figurines out of bronze and granite, sculpted a city hall facade in Vaasa (showing Charles IX and the double portrait of the national rulers, Pehr Evind Svinhufvud and Gustaf Mannerheim), a large number of portrait busts of prominent persons and medallions. He acted as the vice president of  from 1913 to 1915.

He died following complications from appendix surgery in 1925. Being German-influenced and slightly foreign to Finland's sculpting circles at the time, he never developed a substantial reputation in Finland.

title: 2014–15 FC Petrolul Ploiești season

text:
The 2014–15 season is Petrolul Ploiești's 85th season in the Romanian football league system, and their fourth consecutive season in the Liga I. Petrolul came third in the 2013–14 Liga I, earning a place in the UEFA Europa League second qualifying round.

Month by month review

June
Petrolul signed a one-year kit deal with American sportswear company Nike, after the association with Puma came to an end. Also, Acıbadem Healthcare Group became the team's medical sponsor until the end of the season, with an extension option being available. Gevaro Nepomuceno, Patrick N'Koyi, George Mareș, Jean-Alain Fanchone, Alberto Cobrea, Mirel Bolboașă, Andrei Peteleu and Mourad Satli were transferred to Petrolul. Roberto Alecsandru and Alexandru Radu were also promoted from the academy.

July
On 7 July, Petrolul announced that they had signed winger Victoraș Astafei on a free transfer. On 20 July, using many players that would normally be substitutes and having a player sent off in the second half, Petrolul was beaten by Universitatea Cluj in the Cupa Ligii () round of 16, a competition which was reenacted after fourteen years of pause. In Europa League, "The Yellow Wolves" eliminated Flamurtari Vlorë 5–1 on aggregate. On 27 July, Petrolul confirmed on its official website that Opel will continue being the shirt sponsor until the end of the season.

August
Petrolul had bad luck at the Europa League third qualifying round draw, confronting Czech side Viktoria Plzeň, a club which in the previous season took part in the Champions League group stage. After a draw at Ploiești (1–1), "The Yellow Wolves" impressively beat Viktoria scoring four goals and conceding only one. The Romanian side's captain, 35-year-old Adrian Mutu, played a big role in his team's qualification, scoring both home and away. However, losing both of the play-off legs against Dinamo Zagreb of Croatia, Petrolul yet again missed the chance of advancing to the group stage.

September
On 3 September, Uruguayan footballers Rodrigo Pastorini and Sebastián Gallegos joined Petrolul's squad. One week later, Ovidiu Hoban was transferred to Israeli club Hapoel Be'er Sheva. He was Petrolul's only Romanian player called by the national team for a match against Greece, which was played on 7 September. Ioan Filip signed with Petrolul to replace Hoban. On 16 September, Răzvan Lucescu was sacked. Gheorghe Mulțescu, who coached Petrolul twice in the past, took his place one day later. On the same day, "The Yellow Wolves" transferred Kristijan Ipša, a Croatian central defender. Mulțescu made his début against rivals Steaua București, on the 21st. Israeli international striker Toto Tamuz scored a double, but unfortunately, Petrolul lost the match 2–3. After many rumours, Adrian Mutu eventually broke his contract with "The Oilmen", on the 26th. He was the best paid footballer, and was often criticised for playing bad. Cosmin Contra, Petrolul's coach from October 2012 to March 2014, said that the signings of Adrian Mutu and Ianis Zicu (both joined in January 2014) were a "failure".

October
On 16 October, Shai Haddad signed a one-year contract with Petrolul, on Toto Tamuz's recommendation.

November
On 25 November, president Daniel Capră, general director Marius Bucuroiu and five other persons faced preventive detention for 24 hours, being suspected of tax evasion and money laundering. The loss would amount to 15.4 million euros. The press suggested that these criminal matters could cause serious financial problems for Petrolul and important players might want to leave the club.

December
Petrolul had the chance to finish the year on the second place of Liga I, but drawn at home against Concordia Chiajna, subsequently keeping the third place.

January
On 10 January 2015, ex-Standard Liège coach Mircea Rednic replaced Gheorghe Mulțescu on the bench. During the winter transfer window, five footballers left Petrolul, including important ones like Juan Albín and Soni Mustivar.

February
At the beginning of February, due to president Capră still being under detention, the club faced financial problems and entered insolvency, meaning that the participation in UEFA Europa League and UEFA Champions League is denied. However, among others, Mircea Rednic convinced 31-year-old striker Mohamed Tchité, who spent most of his professional career in Belgium, with Standard Liége, Anderlecht and Club Brugge, and in Spain with Racing de Santander, to be part of the team until the end of the season at the least.

March
Mohamed Tchité made his début on 5 March in the first leg of the Romanian Cup semi-final against rivals Steaua București, scoring his team's only goal in a 1–1 draw.

April
On 3 April, Petrolul missed the qualification to the Cupa României final for the second year in a row, losing the semi-final second leg against Steaua at Arena Națională. However, only a week later, "The Yellow Wolves" defeated them in the championship, after more than 15 years. Curaçaoan winger Gevaro Nepomuceno netted the only goal of the match.

May
On 5 May, it was announced that manager Mircea Rednic left "The Yellow-Blues". Assistant coach Valentin Sinescu continued as the caretaker of the team. Eventually, Petrolul finished the season on a disappointing place six.

title: Tabscoob

text:
Tabscoob was a halach uinik (Maya ruler) of the Potonchán jurisdiction, known for leading the Chontal Maya in the Battle of Centla against Spanish forces led by Hernán Cortés on March 14, 1519.

Tabscoob's administration maintained commercial ties with the Mexicas and other Maya jurisdictions, especially with the jurisdiction of Chakán Putum, who—after having contact with the expeditions of Francisco Hernández de Córdoba and Juan de Grijalva—warned the Chontal to take precautions. On June 8, 1518, Juan de Grijalva landed in the province of Potonchán and met Tabscoob to whom, it is said, Grijalva gave his green velvet doublet.

War against Xicalango in 1513

Between Potonchán and the island of Tris was a Nahuatl town called Xicalango, which was a major port on the Gulf of Mexico, but being different from the Maya race, had constant friction with Potonchán since the Xicalangos frequently crossed territory within the province of Tabasco. This led to a war in the year 1513 in which Tabscoob led an army of 20,000 men and defeated the Xicalangos.

It was the custom among the natives that the defeated make various gifts to the victors. Thus, the chief Tabscoob received a large number of slaves including Malintzin, famously known as "La Malinche."

Meeting with Juan de Grijalva in 1518

On June 8, 1518, the Spaniard Juan de Grijalva landed at Potonchán. With the help of Maya interpreters, he began to engage in a friendly dialogue with the natives, as well as flattering them with gifts. Grijalva asked if they would call their boss to meet and confer with him. Thus, in time, Chief Tabscoob appeared with his nobles, greeting the Spanish captain. During the talk, both figures exchanged gifts: to Grijalva, Tabscoob presented gold plates in the form of armor and some feathers; whereas Grijalva gave the Maya chief his green velvet doublet.

Tabscoob told Grijalva of a place called Culua that was "toward where the sun set..." there was much more of that material. Grijalva in turn, spoke with the Maya chief with courtesy, admitting that he came in the name of a great lord named Charles V, who was very good, and he wanted to have them as vassals. Tabscoob responded that they lived happily as they were, and that they needed no other lord, and that if Grijalva wanted to preserve his friendship with Tabscoob, the Spanish expedition should leave. Grijalva, after stocking water and provisions, embarked on his way to Culua (modern-day San Juan de Ulúa).

Arrival of Hernán Cortés in 1519
On March 12, 1519, Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés reached the mouth of the Grijalva River. He decided to anchor his ships and enter the river in skiffs, looking for the great city of Indians described by Juan de Grijalva. Cortés landed in a place called Punta de Palmares right at the mouth of the river.

Cortés said, by way of a translator, to some Indians who were in a boat that he and his men "would do them no harm, [and that] they came in peace and only wanted to speak with them." But Cortés, seeing that the natives were still threatening, commanded weapons be brought onto the  skiffs and handed them to archers and musketeers, and he began planning how to attack the town.

Takeover of Potonchán

The next day, March 13, 1519, Cortés devised a strategy to attack Potonchán. He sent Alonso de Avila with one hundred soldiers who were on the road leading to the village, while Cortés and the other group of soldiers went in the skiffs. There, on the shore, Cortés made a "requerimiento" (requisition) in front of a notary of the king named Diego de Godoy, to let them disembark, thus issuing the first notarial act in Mexico.

Given the refusal of the Indians, Cortés decided to attack, starting the fight. The hosts of Tabscoob and Cortes met in full combat. The forces of Alonso de Ávila arrived at the rear of the settlement, making the natives flee and consummating the Spanish conquistadors' takeover of the town.

Battle of Centla

On March 14, the hosts of Tabscoob, estimated by Cortes to be 40,000 men, fought on the plains of Centla against the Spaniards led by Hernán Cortés. The Battle of Centla ensued, which would be the first major battle of the Spanish conquistadors in what later became New Spain. The power of the Spaniards' firearms and the surprise and fear caused by the appearance of the cavalry (since the natives had never seen horses and thought that animal and rider were one) eventually gave victory to the Spanish army of over 410 soldiers.

Days later, on April 16, chief Tabscoob and his entourage appeared before Cortes, swearing allegiance and subjection to the Spanish Crown. And, as was the Indian tradition, Tabscoob gifted 20 native women to Cortés, including doña Marina la lengua, who would become a translator for Cortés in the conquest of Mexico.

But the conquest of Tabasco was far from achieved, as the Indians often rebelled against the Spaniards. It would take 45 years of struggles and intense military campaigns, before the Spanish conquistadors could break the fighting spirit of the indigenous people of Tabasco.

Name of the state of Tabasco

It is thought that the name of the Mexican state of Tabasco comes from the name of this ruler. There is a monument in the state capital of Villahermosa dedicated to his memory.

title: Campbieil

text:
The Campbieil is a summit in the French Pyrenees, culminating at a height of . It is located in the Néouvielle massif, included in the Pyrenees National Park of which it constitutes the second highest summit, after the pic Long ().

History
The first recorded ascension dates from 1848, by captain Loupot who was carrying out triangulation works. Of very easy access by its western slope, that of Gèdre, the summit is frequented by sheep and isards and has ever been ambled by shepherds and hunters.

Access
The most frequented access route runs today through the north, by a path which presents no difficulty (besides its steepness), from the Cap de Long dam.

Another slightly shorter route, is accessible to the east : which consists in reaching the Estaragne by ascending the stream hollow of Estaragne from the D 929, then to walk along the crest. It too, presents no major difficulty, at least not on a clear summer day.

title: Dheki

text:
A dheki is an agricultural tool used for threshing, to separate rice grains from their outer husks, while leaving the bran layer, thus producing brown rice. Dhekis have generally fallen into disuse because of the availability of technologies such as combine harvesters that require much less physical labour. In earlier times a dheki was an important part of village life in Bangladesh and in parts of India, notably West Bengal, Jharkhand, Assam and Chhattisgarh. It was generally operated by two or three women.

A dheki consists of a heavy wooden lever, usually about  long, supported on a pedestal about  high, which provides a fulcrum. At one end of the lever is a vertical wooden cylinder which functions as a pestle. It is raised by the lever, and that falls down by its own weight. The fulcrum of the lever is placed at five-eighths of the length of the lever from the pestle.

title: Kálmán Vánky

text:
Kálmán Géza Vánky (15 June 1930 - 18 October 2021) was a Székely-Hungarian mycologist with Swedish and Hungarian citizenship, who lived in Germany. He is considered to be the worldwide authority on the subject of smut fungi and has dominated the taxonomic study of Ustilaginomycetes for at least the past four decades.

Early life and education
Vánky was born in  (), Romania, 15 June 1930. He attended the Bethlen János Reformed School and, after it closed in 1945, the United Grammar School in Odorhei until 1949. He then began his studies at the University of Cluj (Kolozsvár) in Hungarian but completed his degree in biology at the University of Bucharest in 1953.

Early career
Between 1953 and 1957 he worked as a researcher with Professor Traian Săvulescu at the Department of Phytopathology of the Agricultural Research Institute, Bucharest, Romania, where he began studying smut fungi. However – as he always wanted to be a physician – in 1957 he left Bucharest for the Faculty of Medicine, Tîrgu-Mureş (Marosvásárhely), Romania, where he obtained his MD in 1961. From 1961 until 1964 he worked as a general practitioner in Odorhei (Székelyudvarhely), then, until 1969, he worked as a balneologist in Borszék but continued studying and collecting smut fungi.

In 1969 he left Ceauşescu's Romania and settled in Sweden, where he obtained the Swedish MD and worked as a family physician in Gagnef village. He continued to pursue and personally fund his research in the field of smut fungus taxonomy and obtained his PhD in taxonomic botany at Uppsala University in 1985 (under supervision of Prof. Jan Axel Nannfeldt). His doctoral thesis, Carpathian Ustilaginales, was published in the academic journal Symbolae Botanicae Upsalienses.

Professional mycology
In 1986 he obtained a 1-year DFG-scholarship in Germany and worked in the field of smut fungus taxonomy at the University of Tübingen, Institute of Botany, Department of Special Botany and Mycology (with Prof. Franz Oberwinkler). As the scholarship was extended successively, he decided to focus his career on mycology rather than medicine.  He continued to work at the University until his retirement in 1995.

Publications
By 2014 he had published 232 scientific papers and 10 books on smut fungi. His monograph Smut Fungi of the World, published in 2012 by (APS Press) was described as “a culmination of more than 50 years of dedicated work and passion for smut fungi.” The nearly 1500 page monograph has been described as the "Holy Book of Smut Fungi", because it comprises the description of the 1700 known species with their synonyms, important literature, their host plants and over 3.500 illustrations of which 650 are the author's drawings of smutted plants.

The third edition of his Illustrated Genera of Smut Fungi was published in 2013. In this edition, 104 recognized genera of smut fungi are presented, described and illustrated, compared to the second edition, in which 77 genera are identified.

Collections
Both before and after retirement, Vánky travelled widely, collecting and investigating smut fungi in about 55 countries all over the world. The collecting trips were very often combined with national or international workshops, conferences or congresses in the field of mycology, where he was lecturer or speaker. Between 1989 and 2009 his German wife, Christine, helped him in collecting and taking photos of smutted plants.

Over 60 years Vánky amassed the largest smut fungus collection in the world, Herbarium Ustilaginales Vánky (HUV), containing over 22,000 samples. In August 2013 it was relocated to the Queensland Plant Pathology Herbarium, Brisbane, Australia (‘BRIP’), and placed at the disposal of the mycological community.

Vánky lectured in Hungary. He donated a complete set (no. 1-1350) of his Smut fungus exsiccata, and several hundreds of duplicates, between them numerous precious isotypes, as well as all of his smut fungus books and publications to the Hungarian Natural History Museum.

Interviews, awards and honours
In June 1996 an interview with Vánky entitled "" (A world travelling Székely botanist) was published in  (The World of Nature). The Romanian journal  (Transylvanian Mycologist) published two interviews and a laudation on the Székely-Hungarian scientist.
In 2012 he was awarded the "Pázmány Dénes Award" of the 'Kálmán László Mycological Society', Transylvania (Romania). and in 2014 awarded with "Arany János medal" of the 'Hungarian Academy of Science'.

Two new genera of smut fungi, Vankya and Kalmanago, was named in his honour and several new species Orphanomyces vankyi Savile (1974), Anthracoidea vankyi Nannfeldt (1977), Uromyces vankyorum R. Berndt (2002), Tilletia vankyi Carris & Castlebury (2007) and Macalpinomyces vankyi Y.M. Li, R.G. Shivas, McTaggart & L. Cai (2017) were named for him.

He became honorary member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in the Biological Sciences section in 2001.

title: Jonathan Shurberg

text:
Jonathan Seth Shurberg (March 27, 1963 – July 20, 2017) was a Maryland-based American attorney, community advocate, and 2014 Democratic Party candidate for state delegate. He was a practicing lawyer for over twenty years, and was active in Maryland politics from 2002 until his death.

Over the course of his political career, Shurberg fought for the voting rights of minorities and young people, the civil rights of LGBT individuals, and for pro-choice causes. Shurberg served on the board of Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, D.C Action Fund, and his 2014 campaign for delegate was endorsed by NARAL Maryland Pro-Choice PAC and Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, D.C. Action Fund, as well as The Gazette.

Early life
Shurberg was born March 27, 1963, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and grew up in Wethersfield, Connecticut. In 1981, after graduating from the Kingswood-Oxford School, he moved to Washington, D.C., to attend Georgetown University. After graduating from Georgetown in 1985 with a degree in International Politics, Shurberg worked as a paralegal for several years before matriculating to the Washington College of Law at American University. At the Washington College of Law, Shurberg met his future wife, Rebecca Lord, with whom he would move to Silver Spring, Maryland, in 1990.

Legal career
In 1991, after graduating summa cum laude from the Washington College of Law, Shurberg began work as a judicial clerk for Judge Rosalyn B. Bell on the Court of Special Appeals of Maryland. After being admitted to the Maryland State Bar in 1992, he spent several years working for private law firms, with a focus on family law, and opened his own practice in 1996. For over twenty-two years, Shurberg has practiced law in Montgomery County, Maryland, and has focused on serving the legal needs of his community.

In 2006, Shurberg represented Congresswoman Donna Edwards in the aftermath of the hotly contested primary election that year. In 2008, when Edwards ran again for the U.S. House of Representatives, he served as both her campaign counsel and chief counsel for election protection efforts, and helped secure her election to the United States House of Representatives.
Also in 2006, Shurberg provided pro-bono legal assistance to thirty families facing eviction in the Takoma Park Sligo View Apartment Building. Working in conjunction with Senator Jamie Raskin, Shurberg was able to delay eviction proceedings and allow the tenants to remain in their homes.

In 2008, Shurberg won a significant Court of Appeals decision on behalf of a Bethesda, Maryland teenager and her father, restoring the right of Maryland seventeen-year-olds to vote in the primary elections if they will be of legal voting age by the time of the general election. As a result of Shurberg's work, the franchise was expanded to over 50,000 young Maryland voters. Less than a year after the case, there were over 12,000 17-year-old voters registered to vote in Maryland.

In 2008, Shurberg worked with Equality Maryland to successfully defend Montgomery County citizens against challenges to a gender identity nondiscrimination statute passed earlier in the year. The statute, which would inspire future nondiscrimination ordinances in Baltimore and Howard County, was challenged in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County by anti-equality activists who wanted to force the statute to be subject to a popular vote. Shurberg argued extensively against the validity of the referendum petition, both before the Circuit Court and the Maryland Court of Appeals. The combined efforts of Shurberg and local LGBT organizations, including the National Center for Transgender Equality, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Lambda Legal, and Human Rights Campaign protected the statute, and would set the precedent for the 2014 passage of the Fairness for All Marylanders Act, a law that amended the state's nondiscrimination statute to include gender identity. He received the Distinguished Service Award by Gay Law for his work.

In 2009, Shurberg represented Councilmember Nancy Navarro in the absentee/provisional canvass before the Montgomery County, Maryland Board of Elections in her narrow 2009 special election victory, and again in 2010 before the Federal Election Commission. Later in that year, he also represented Maryland delegates Karen S. Montgomery and Ariana Kelly in the absentee/provisional canvass, following narrow victories in their respective primary elections.

Civic leadership and political career
In 2002, Shurberg began his career in politics, starting at the local level with a dedication to advancing progressive causes in his community. That year, he served as a campaign volunteer and precinct coordinator for the County Council campaign of current U.S Secretary of Labor Tom Perez. Shurberg's early political activism inspired him to become further involved in Montgomery County's political scene, and he became a Highland View Elementary School PTA representative shortly after his involvement with the Perez campaign.

In 2004, Shurberg served as a volunteer election protection attorney for the John Kerry for President campaign, and worked in the battleground state of Ohio.

In 2005, Shurberg and his wife Rebecca began hosting an annual event for the Greater Silver Spring, Maryland Democratic Club, introducing them to a number of aspiring political candidates, including future State Senator Jamie Raskin and 2014 Gubernatorial candidate Heather Mizeur. In 2006, Shurberg served as campaign counsel for Raskin's successful state senate campaign, and the same year, aided Mizeur in her successful bid for a seat in the Maryland House of Delegates. During the 2006 General Election, Shurberg was also active in U.S Senator Ben Cardin's first campaign for U.S Senate.

In January 2013, Shurberg joined the board of Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, D.C Action fund, the 501(c)4 arm of Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, accepting the seat previously held by his late wife. As a board member, he has worked to elect pro-choice candidates in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., provided pro-bono legal consultation regarding clinic access and buffer zones, and supported Planned Parenthood's mission to ensure access to low-cost, high quality healthcare services for women and men in the D.C Metropolitan area.

Shurberg has been extremely active in community and political organizations over the past twenty years. He was a founding board member, and sits on the steering committee of Progressive Neighbors, a Silver Spring-based political group with a dedication to advancing progressive causes in Montgomery County. He is also Chair of the Legislative Committee for Gender Rights Maryland, an advocacy group focused on aiding "in the advancement, achievement and protection of the civil rights of transpeople through electoral involvement, grassroots organizing, coalition building and direct legislative advocacy." Shurberg is a member of both the Bar Association of Montgomery County (BAMC) and the Maryland State Bar Association.

Work in Annapolis
Over the past seven years, Shurberg has testified before the Maryland House of Delegates and the Maryland State Senate over issues of importance to his community, with a special focus on voting rights. In 2009, despite several court rulings to the contrary, the State Board of Elections proposed what it characterized as a "technical amendment" to the Election code that would have allowed the Board to permanently remove registered voters from the voter rolls simply because the voter did not respond to a mail notice from the board. Shurberg testified against the bill, HB 1392 (2009) before the Ways and Means Committee, expressing the view that the amendment was entirely unconstitutional. Thanks to his efforts, the bill was referred back to the election law subcommittee, the unconstitutional provisions were removed, and hundreds of thousands of Maryland voters were saved from potential disenfranchisement.

Since 2007, Shurberg has served on multiple legislative committees with a wide variety of legislators and activists, working on issues pertaining to same-sex marriage and gender identity nondiscrimination legislation. He has forged solid relationships with members of the Montgomery County delegation, as well as members of the General Assembly from around the state.

2014 delegate race
In 2014, after state delegates Tom Hucker and Heather Mizeur announced that they would not be seeking re-election, Shurberg announced his candidacy for one of the District 20's three delegate seats. He was endorsed by Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington Action Fund, NARAL Pro-Choice Maryland PAC, MC NOW PAC, and The Gazette. In April, The Gazette wrote that Shurberg and the other endorsees "built reputations of substantive achievement, and offer the best potential for effective state representation"

Maryland Scramble

In March 2015, shortly after Senator Barbara Mikulski announced that she would not be seeking re-election to the United States Senate, Shurberg created Maryland Scramble, a political blog with a special focus on Maryland politics.

Personal life
Shurberg resided in Silver Spring, Maryland, with his family. He has two sons, Eli (born 1994) and Ethan (born 2000). His wife, Rebecca Lord, died in 2012 after a battle with thyroid cancer. Despite her illness, Lord was active in local politics, earned a PhD in Latin American history at the University of Maryland, and sat on the board of Planned Parenthood of Metropolitan Washington, D.C Action Fund (PPMWAF).

text:
Fernando González Gortázar (19 October 1942 – 7 October 2022) was a Mexican architect, sculptor, and writer, considered to be one of the most influential Mexican architects of the 20th century.

Life and career
Fernando González Gortázar was born in Mexico City on 19 October 1942. He grew up and spent his youth in Guadalajara, Jalisco, but would later return to his birthplace of Mexico City, from 1990. He studied architecture at the University of Guadalajara (Mexico) and received his BA in 1966, presenting as his thesis the project for a National Monument to Independence. As a student, he participated in several sculpture workshops with Professor Olivier Seguin at the School of Fine Arts of the same university.

González Gortázar studied Esthetics with Pierre Francastel at the Superior School of Art and Archeology (now the Institute of Art and Archeology), and the Sociology of Art with Jean Cassou at the Collège de France, both in Paris (1967-1968). An architect, urbanist, landscape artist, scholar of Mexican folklore, he fought for the preservation of the historical-cultural and ecological-natural heritage of Mexico.

Among his most important works, we find The Great Gate (1969), the Fountain of Sister Water (1970), the entrance to González Gallo Park and The Tower of Cubes (both from 1972), the Plaza-Fountain (1973), the González Silva House (1980), the Elf’s Walkway (1991), the Maya People’s Museum (1993), the Public Safety Center (1993), the Los Altos University Center of the University of Guadalajara (1993, still unfinished), the Chiapas Museum of Science and Technology (2005), and the Emblem of San Pedro (Fátima and the Flags Monument, 2011), and The Three Hairs of the Devil (2014), all in various cities in Mexico, as well as the Fountain of Stairs (Madrid, 1987) and The Escorial Tree (El Escorial, 1995) in Spain, and the Disjointed Column (1989) at the Hakone Open-Air Museum, in Japan.

In 2000, he held the Federico Mariscal Professorship of the Department of Architecture of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). In 2009, he hosted Cancioncitas (Little Songs), 26 radio programs on Mexican popular music in the twentieth century, for Radio UNAM, which were later rebroadcast by several stations in Mexico and Colombia.

González Gortázar died on 7 October 2022, at the age of 79.

Prizes and distinctions
Fernando González Gortázar had an honorary doctorate from the University of Guadalajara. He was awarded the National Prize for Arts and Sciences in 2012.

In 2014, a personal exhibition of González Gortázar was held at the Museo de Arte Moderno.

title: Fehrenbach cabinet

text:
The Fehrenbach cabinet, headed by Chancellor Constantin Fehrenbach of the Centre Party, was the fourth democratically elected government of the Weimar Republic. It took office on 25 June 1920 when it replaced the first cabinet of Hermann Müller, which had resigned due to the poor showing of the coalition parties in the June 1920 elections to the new Reichstag. The 1920 Reichstag replaced the Weimar National Assembly, which had served as Germany's interim parliament and written and approved the Weimar Constitution.

Fehrenbach's government was the first since the fall of the German Empire in 1918 that did not include the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). The SPD remained the strongest party after the elections, but its share of the vote had dropped significantly. The government was formed by the Centre Party, the German Democratic Party (DDP) and the German People's Party (DVP).

The dominant issues that the cabinet faced were uprisings in Saxony and Upper Silesia and negotiations over Germany's war reparations to the Allies of World War I, the failure of which led to the French occupation of three cities in the Ruhr.

Fehrenbach resigned on 4 May 1921 over his government's inability to find common ground on war reparations. The cabinet remained in office on a caretaker basis until 10 May, when it was replaced by the first cabinet of Joseph Wirth, the Centre Party minister of Finance under Fehrenbach.

Election and establishment
The Reichstag elections of 6 June 1920 brought a defeat for the Weimar Coalition, the three parties that had carried the previous government – SPD, DDP and Centre. Their share of the popular vote dropped from 74.8% in the January 1919 election to 43.6%. Gains were made both by the parties on the right – the DVP and German National People's Party (DNVP) – and the far left – the Independent Social Democratic Party (USPD) and the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). Nationalist voters blamed the Weimar Coalition for the lost war, for accepting the severe terms of the Treaty of Versailles and for domestic unrest by workers such as during the Ruhr uprising. Those on the left felt betrayed by the SPD and the other parties of the political centre for siding with the military and other forces that had been powerful under the Empire (the bureaucracy, industrialists and land owners) against communist or socialist protests.

Since the SPD, Centre and DDP had only 225 of the 466 Reichstag seats, the old coalition lacked a majority. In addition, the elections had not taken place in Schleswig-Holstein, Upper Silesia, East Prussia and West Prussia due to the plebiscites scheduled there to decide whether the regions would remain part of Germany. The 42 sitting delegates for the districts temporarily retained their seats until elections could be held after the plebiscites. The elections in East Prussia and Schleswig-Holstein took place on 20 February 1921 and resulted in the three Weimar Coalition parties losing a total of nine more seats seat. (The last of the 3 elections for the first Reichstag took place on 19 November 1922, when the Fehrenbach cabinet was out of office.)

On 8 June, the first Müller cabinet offered to resign. President Friedrich Ebert accepted but asked the ministers to remain in office until a replacement cabinet could be formed. Since the old coalition had insufficient Reichstag support and the left-wing and right-wing parties would not cooperate, the only solution seemed to be to expand the existing coalition to the left or right. Also on 8 June, an article published in the SPD party newspaper  and viewed as reflecting the party's official stance, categorically refused cooperation with the DVP and called on the USDP to drop its most radical demands, thereby making a centre-left coalition that included it possible.

The Centre Party favoured maintaining the old coalition but was open to inclusion of the DVP. The DDP and DVP, as the smaller partners in any coalition, were passive. Both saw working with the SPD as unavoidable. On 11 June Ebert, following the tradition of approaching the strongest party first, asked Hermann Müller, the caretaker chancellor, to form a new cabinet. Müller contacted Arthur Crispien of the USDP to negotiate entry of the far-left party into the existing coalition. Crispien refused and Müller handed back the task of forming a government on 12 June.

Since the next two parties in terms of the share of the vote were the USPD and DNVP and they occupied extreme positions in the political spectrum that made it unlikely that they would be able to form a government, Ebert on 13 June turned to Rudolf Heinze of the DVP. Heinze met with SPD representatives and was refused. He too then handed back the task of forming a cabinet.

On 14 June Ebert asked  (Centre), who accepted but apparently signalled that he might be working only as a negotiator. Trimborn managed to gain the SPD's acceptance of a minority government made up of the Centre Party, DDP and DVP that the Social Democrats would support until the July Spa conference between representatives of the German government and the Allied Supreme War Council. After that date, further cooperation between the SPD and the government would depend on its actions. Both the DDP and DVP agreed in principle to such an arrangement and on 14 June, Constantin Fehrenbach was named as possible chancellor. In a conversation between Ebert and Fehrenbach on 15 June, the latter said he did not feel up to the job and suggested  instead. Mayer refused on 16 June, and on 17 June Ebert asked Fehrenbach to form a cabinet.

Disagreements between the DDP and DVP further delayed proceedings, but on 21 June 1920 Fehrenbach was appointed chancellor. Problems with the DVP over appointments held matters up for several more days, since the "industrialist" wing of the party objected to Joseph Wirth as minister of Finance and made other demands. By threatening to resign, Fehrenbach succeeded in having the demands withdrawn. On 25 June 1920, the cabinet was officially formed.

The Ministry for Reconstruction was not assigned a minister but was represented in the cabinet by a state secretary. In the final cabinet list, there were four ministers (plus the chancellor) from the Centre Party, three DVP ministers, two from the DDP and two independents.

Members
The members of the cabinet were as follows:

In office
In late March 1921, a communist-led revolt known as the March action broke out in Saxony and Hamburg. President Ebert declared a state of emergency for the two regions based on Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution. The uprising was put down quickly and bloodily by government troops.

Two plebiscites called for by the Treaty of Versailles took place under the Fehrenbach government, the 1920 East Prussian plebiscite and the 1921 Upper Silesia plebiscite. In East Prussia and West Prussia, 95% voted in favour of remaining in Germany rather than becoming part of the Second Polish Republic. In Upper Silesia, where the result was almost 60% for staying part of Germany, the Polish population of the region staged the third Silesian uprising in protest of the plebiscite's results.

The matter of war reparations was the dominant issue during the whole tenure of the cabinet. At the Spa Conference in July 1920, Germany took part for the first time in negotiations with the Allies over issues of disarmament and reparations. The following January at the Paris Conference, Germany's total reparations obligations were set at 226 billion gold marks. Germany rejected the amount, and at the ensuing  in March, Foreign Minister Walter Simons again refused to accept the Allied demands. German attempts to get the US government to mediate between the German position and those of the French and British governments were unsuccessful. Simons left the conference, and a day later France occupied Ruhrort, Duisburg and Düsseldorf.

Resignation
The failure of the London Conference put a heavy strain on the coalition on which the government was based, with the DVP arguing that they could not support the policies of Foreign Minister Walter Simons any longer. The DVP opposed making any counterproposal on reparations that could have been acceptable to the Allies. The end of the cabinet was finally brought about by the London ultimatum. By late April/early May there were rumours that the Allies were about to present a new payments schedule in connection with threats of new sanctions (as happened on 5 May). On 4 May, despite the uprising in Upper Silesia that had erupted the previous day, the cabinet decided to resign after the parties were unable to agree on whether to present the Allies with a new German proposal on reparations. President Ebert asked the government to remain in office until a new one could be formed, and the cabinet agreed. It was succeeded on 10 May 1921 by the first cabinet of Joseph Wirth (Centre Party), the minister of Finance under Fehrenbach.

The 1894 South Dakota gubernatorial election was held on November 6, 1894.  Incumbent Republican Governor Charles H. Sheldon ran for re-election to a second term. Despite facing a thread of defeat at the Republican convention, Sheldon was renominated unanimously. In the general election, he faced Populist nominee Isaac Howe, a Spink County Judge; James A. Ward, the former state chairman of the South Dakota Democratic Party; and Prohibition nominee M. D. Alexander. The election was largely a replay of the gubernatorial elections of 1890 and 1892, with the Farmers' Alliance candidate placing second and the Democratic nominee placing a distant third. This time, however, Sheldon won an outright majority and the Democratic Party's vote share shrunk to just 11%, its worst performance in state history.

Populist Party convention
By 1894, the Independent Party, which had formed out of the South Dakota Farmers' Alliance, began to affiliate itself with the Populist Party. In the lead-up to its June 1894 convention, several names were mentioned as likely gubernatorial candidates: former State Representative Robert Buchanan, an erstwhile Republican; Spink County Judge Isaac Howe; and Sioux Falls University President E. B. Meredith, a prohibitionist.

As the convention began on June 13, 1894, Buchanan, who had previously rejected entreaties to run for governor, acceded and became a candidate. At this point, Meredith faded from contention and supported Buchanan over Howe. The contest between Howe and Buchanan became a proxy battle between Henry L. Loucks, a longtime leader of the Farmers' Alliance, and Buchanan, and despite Howe supporters' hope that he would be nominated by acclamation, Buchanan took an early lead. The next day, however, it appeared that Buchanan had lost his early lead, and Howe was overwhelmingly nominated.

Republican convention
At the Republican convention in August 1894, Governor Sheldon faced a threat of losing renomination, but the forces opposed to him were unable to recruit a challenger to him. Accordingly, he was renominated unopposed.

Democratic convention
The Democratic convention convened in Sioux Falls in September 1894, three candidates were mentioned as likely contenders for Governor: Samuel A. Ramsey, the 1892 Democratic nominee for Lieutenant Governor; L. G. Oschenreiter, the President of the South Dakota World's Fair Commission; and Court Boyd. At the convention, however, though Ramsey was nominated for governor, he withdrew in favor of James A. Ward, the state party chairman, who was nominated by acclamation.

title: Vortex (Calaway Park)

text:
The Vortex (previously known as Turn of the Century and Corkscrew) is a corkscrew roller coaster in Calaway Park in Alberta, Canada.

When it opened, it was named "Turn of the Century" and was painted an "earth tone" brown to blend in with the surrounding landscape. In 1986, it was renamed "Corkscrew". In the 2004 off-season, the track and supports were painted green, and the coaster train was painted pink. During this time it was renamed "Vortex" with the new catchphrase "Fun From The Bottom Of Your Stomach". This update debuted when the park opened for the 2005 season. The update was for Alberta's centennial.

In the 2019 off-season, Vortex was repainted by Baynum Painting to a green and purple color scheme. The coaster train remains the same pink color.

Vortex, unlike most roller coasters similar in size, sends riders around for two laps rather than one to accommodate for the short track length.

title: Edmund von Wörndle

text:
Edmund von Wörndle zu Adelsfried und Weiherburg (28 July 1827, Vienna - 3 August 1906, Innsbruck) was an Austrian landscape painter, in the Romantic style.

Life and work
He was born to Johann von Wörndle, Building Manager at the Hofburg (Imperial Palace). His grandfather, Philipp von Wörndle (1755–1818), was a Commander in the Landsturm. His brother, August von Wörndle, also became a painter.

He and his brother both attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, where he studied landscape painting with Franz Steinfeld and Thomas Ender. In 1855, he set out on a pilgrimage to Palestine; making several books of sketches. These were later made into oil paintings and lithographs; published in Vienna and Innsbruck.

From 1856 to 1859, he lived in the Austrian Embassy, at the Palazzo Venezia in Rome. While there, he received commissions from throughout Europe. He then returned to Innsbruck, to live with his family. Shortly after, he married Sophie von Attlmeier.

title: Eestimaa Õlikonsortsium

text:
Eestimaa Õlikonsortsium (; ) was an oil shale company located in Sillamäe, Estonia. The company was established in 1926.  It was a Swedish–Norwegian consortium controlled by Marcus Wallenberg. Main shareholders were Investor AB, AB Emissionsinstitutet, and Norsk Hydro.

The consortium built a tunnel oven in 1928. However, due to recession, production halted in 1930 and was not restarted until 1936, when it was reorganized as Baltic Oil Company.  A second tunnel oven was added in 1938.  In 1936, it produced 15,000 tonnes of oil, including 2,400 tonnes of gasoline.

In July 1938, Eestimaa Õlikonsortsium concluded a contract with the German Kriegsmarine to supply shale oil as a ship fuel.  In 1939, it produced 36,944 tonnes of shale oil. After occupation of Estonia by the Soviet Union, the company was nationalized in 1940.  According to Soviet-Swedish agreement of 1941, the Soviet Union made a one-time payment in 1947, covering only part of the company's value.

title: Final Masquerade

text:
"Final Masquerade" is a song by American rock band Linkin Park. The song was originally recorded by the band for their sixth studio album, The Hunting Party, where it appears as the eleventh track on the album and serves as the fifth and final single. The song premiered on MTV on June 8, 2014. The song was produced by Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson, and co-produced by Emile Haynie.

An acoustic version of the song was released for digital download on February 19, 2015.

Composition
"Final Masquerade" has been described as an alternative rock and a hard rock song. In an article from Metal Hammer, it was explained as "more like A Thousand Suns than Hybrid Theory, which Linkin Park gives at their most controlled, meditative, a slowly unfurling, mid-paced anthem built around simmering keyboards, unfussy, low-tempo beats and palm-muted guitar. The song features one of Chester Bennington's finest vocal performances on the album."

MTV described the song as "a sharp, edgy, lushly harmonic heavy-hitter that falls perfectly in line with Linkin Park’s lengthy string of hulking, hooky hits." In an interview with MTV, Shinoda explained:

Music video
The official music video for the song, directed by Mark Pellington, was released on July 29, 2014 for premiere on MTV. A lyric video for the song was released earlier, as it debuted through Linkin Park's official Facebook page and in digital download format on June 10, 2014.

As of December 2022, the music video for "Final Masquerade" has over 120 million views on YouTube.

Reception
In the track-by-track review by Billboard, the song is given a positive response and explained as, "Synths and palm-muted guitars carry the mid-tempo verses into a head-nodding hard rock chorus. With that, another love affair ends in epic fashion, and there's even a big stadium sing-along."

Accolades
The song was voted as the second-best rock song on the Kerrang!'s rock 100 list. The song was placed after their another song "In the End".

title: Estaragne

text:
The Estaragne (Pic d'Estaragne) is a French pyrenean summit, culminating at  m.

Topography
The peak is located in the Hautes-Pyrénées department, in the Néouvielle massif, near Saint-Lary-Soulan in the Pyrenees National Park and near the Néouvielle National Nature Reserve.

History
The etymology of the name "Estaragne" is obscure, although there is a small valley and stream with the same name just to the northeast of the peak.

Ecology
The peak itself is bare, but the upper slopes have a sub-alpine climate. Meadows predominate with patches of trees and shrubs. Snow cover usually starts in late October and lasts until June. the most common shrubs are Rhododendron ferrugineum and Vaccinium myrtillus; and the most common grasses are Nardus stricta and Festuca eskia.

Access
There are at least two relatively easy summer access routes:
 From the east, the shorter route, starts by leaving the sharp turn of the D 929 at the bridge crossing over the Estaragne stream, it then ascends the small hollow and turns southwards up to the col d'Estaragne.
 From the north, starting at the Cap de Long Lake, the longer route advances up valley of the Cap de Long creek.

title: Battle of Audierne Bay

text:
The Battle of the Audierne Bay  was an engagement between German and Allied naval flotillas that took place on 23 August 1944, during World War II. Three Allied warships, which had already established control off the coast of Brittany and were lurking off Audierne south of the invested fortress of Brest, intercepted and sank eight German vessels of an armed convoy. This was the conclusion of Operation Kinetic; an allied plan to intercept shipping and hinder Germans besieged at Brest.

Background
By 11 August, the Mortain counter-offensive had ground to a halt. To the east, US forces took Argentan on 13 August while British and Canadian forces closed in toward Falaise from the north, thus initiating the drive to encircle and destroy two German armies inside the Falaise Pocket. As the siege of the Breton ports continued, the focus of the war was quickly shifting further east.

Operation Kinetic had been set up by the Royal Navy Command Headquarters; the objective of which was to eliminate the German navy all along the French Atlantic ports. Of three Forces of Kinetic - Force 27 under the command of William Davis, consisting of the light cruiser HMS Mauritius and the destroyers HMS Ursa and  HMCS Iroquois, departed Plymouth on 13 August to carry out a new patrol along the central section of the Biscay coast. With the Germans under the command of Marinegruppenkommando West on the move to evacuate by sea, the ongoing Kinetic had already scored two successes and was finalizing  for the naval offensive in the Bay of Biscay to complete the success.

On the night of 22/23 August, under orders from naval intelligence the cruiser HMS Mauritius and the destroyers HMCS Iroquois and HMS Ursa were patrolling Audierne Bay between Brest and Lorient and radar soon picked up a large contact heading towards them.

Battles
Davis ordered Iroquois; the ship closest to the contact, commanded by James Calcutt Hibbard to use the Type 293 radar and relay the information to the rest of the force. Hibbard placed so much confidence in the radar that he decided to direct the opening moves from the Action Information Centre rather than the bridge, and then gave the order to illuminate with star shell. As a result, Force 27 was able to close undetected and launched a surprise attack on the known convoy which were three ships.

At 0213 Iroquois scored the first hit on flak ship, which was subsequently set on fire. A second flak ship was quickly destroyed by the heavy guns from Mauritius, while another was set on fire and driven onto the shoals. Only nineteen minutes after opening fire, all three German ships had been put out of action, with two sunk and the third aground and burning.

In a second action two hours later, Iroquois detected another convoy of four ships departing from the harbour of Brest: an M-class minesweeper, two flak ships and a converted mine-destructor ship, or "Sperrbrecher". Using the radar on Iroquois again, Force 27 stalked the convoy at long range until 0408, when the German ships were illuminated with star shell. Upon opening fire, the British and Canadians quickly overwhelmed the convoy sinking two vessels and causing two others to collide in the confusion and burst into flames as they raced for shore, with surviving crew members jumping over the side as they went. One of these vessels capsized and sank while the other drove onto the rocks at full speed and exploded.

At dawn, Force 27 continued with another sweep around Audierne Bay in order to confirm the destruction of the German convoy. In the process a minesweeper came into view and was pounded with gunfire and driven onto a reef near Port Audierne. Iroquois finished off the minesweeper with a torpedo, while Ursa sent on a boarding party onto the other grounded vessel to grab eleven prisoners. The other one hundred and fifty survivors who were able to swim to shore were subsequently taken prisoner by the French Resistance. This was the last part of the action and the force consolidated and reviewed the damage they had caused.

Aftermath
The final tally for the night was eight ships destroyed: one minesweeper driven ashore and heavily damaged, a flak ship, five armed trawlers, and the Sperrbrecher. Iroquois alone had fired a total of 1,197 rounds of 4.7-inch along with 231 rounds of star shell. Davis in his report attributed the success of the night's action to two principal causes: "some lucky guesses, and the excellence of Iroquois''' radar and plotting teams". Although not known to Davis, it was actually Ultra intelligence that bore some responsibility for the luck of those guesses.

In the last week of August, another naval operation commenced, this time called Operation Assault'', during which the cruiser HMS Bellona patrolled along the Biscay coast from Belle Isle near Lorient to Arcachon Point, south-west of Bordeaux. Continuing these sweeps through the remainder of the month, the Royal Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy patrolled off the coast. They sent landing parties ashore on the French mainland and outlying islands to secure them and ensured they were eliminated as potential bases of logistical supply to the Germans. The blockade of these Biscay ports, however, achieved impressive results independent of the campaign on land.

By the close of the Operation Kinetic, the combined Allied naval and air offensive eventually resulted in the reorganization of Kriegsmarine forces operating from fortress ports along the coast into Marineoberkommando West.
