title: Polyscias flynnii

text:
Polyscias flynnii (known by the common names Flynn's ʻOhe and ʻOheʻohe) is a plant species endemic to the island of Kauai in Hawaii. It is rare, found only in one population covering about 1 km2 in the Kalalau Valley. It is regarded as threatened. It is threatened by feral goats and non-native plant species in its habitat. It was federally listed as an endangered species of the United States in 2010.

This plant was first discovered in 1988 and described to science as a new species in 2000. There are only five individuals known to exist.

Polyscias flynnii is a tree up to 9 m tall. Leaves are pinnately compound, up to 60 cm long, with reddish-brown hairs on the underside but not on the upper side. Inflorescence is a panicle or umbel hanging from the axils of the leaves, with 10-15 flowers. Flowers are yellow-green, some hermaphroditic (both male and female) but others on the same plant staminate (male only).

title: Bweranyangi Girls' Senior Secondary School

text:
Bweranyangi Girls' Secondary School is a girls-only boarding middle and high school in Bushenyi District in the Western Region of Uganda.

Location
The school campus is located on Bweranyangi Hill (elevation:) in the southern suburbs of the town of Bushenyi. This is approximately , by road, south-east of the central business district of Bushenyi. Bweranyangi is approximately , by road, west of Mbarara, the largest city in the Ankole sub-region. The coordinates of the school campus are 0°33'35.0"S, 30°12'30.0"E (Latitude:-0.559722; Longitude:30.208333).

History
The school traces its origins from Kamukuzi Hill in Mbarara. In 1912, the Church Missionary Society, with eight girl-students housed in a grass-thatched hut, founded the school, then known as Mbarara Junior School. The inaugural class included the daughter of the King of Ankole and one of the Ankole prime minister's daughters.

The school relocated to Ruharo Hill, also in Mbarara, in 1914, with a student population of 30. There was more land at Ruharo for expansion. This, however, placed the girls' school adjacent to Mbarara High School, a boys' school that had started in 1911. While at Ruharo, the name of the school was changed to Mbarara Girls' Boarding School. In 1954, because of frequent unwelcome visits by students from nearby Mbarara High School and the need for still more expansion, the girls' school was again relocated to Bweranyangi Hill in Bushenyi,  to the west.

In the early 1960s, the school was granted permission to start middle school (S1 to S4) and later high school (S5 to S6). The primary school was separated from the middle and high school and today exists adjacent to the secondary school as Bweranyangi Primary School, a day and boarding all-girls elementary school.

Notable alumni

Notable alumni of the school include:

Janet Museveni, First Lady of Uganda since 1986.

Jacqueline Mbabazi, wife of former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi and chairperson of the National Resistance Movement Women's League.

Mary Karooro Okurut, Uganda's Cabinet Minister for General Duties in the Office of the Prime Minister. Former Minister of Information and National Guidance. Concurrently serving as the elected member of parliament for Bushenyi District Women's Constituency.

Miria Matembe, former member of the Pan-African Parliament from Uganda. She was Minister of ethics and integrity from 1998 until 2003.

title: Royal Armoury of Madrid

text:
The Royal Armoury of Madrid or Real Armería de Madrid, is a collection that, among many other things, contains the personal arms of the Kings of Spain, and also houses military weapons, armours and diplomatic works of art like mixed tapestries, paintings and other works of art and trophies. Among the most notable parts of the collection are armor and full tools that Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and Philip II used. It is considered, along with the Imperial Armory of Vienna, one of the best in the world.

The decision to grant preferential treatment to the Armory dates back at least to the death of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, which occurred on 21 September 1558.

Location

The armory of the Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, had come, mostly, from Brussels to Spain via the port of Laredo, in September 1556, from where it went to Valladolid. At his death his weapons were scattered between Valladolid, the Monastery of Yuste, and possibly the Alcázar of Madrid.

Former building

This building that is currently known as "Antigua Real Armería de Felipe II" was chosen, apparently, in 1553, to provide the Alcázar of a new Stables. Its conception was probably due to Philip II himself, judging by a sketch he made that is preserved in the Archivo General de Simancas.

This former armoury was located in the complex of the Royal Stables of the Alcázar of the Habsburgs, built by the master builder Gaspar de Vega between 1556 and 1564 at the behest of King Philip II. When works were completed, the king commanded that the Armoury be moved to the wing of the Stables that was in front of the main facade of the Alcázar.

The new site was structured around a rectangular hall of 63 meters long by 10 meters wide, and consisted of a ground floor and main floor. Crowning the building was a ledge of stone on which stood the roof truss and slate roof, with stepped gables at both front ends. Downstairs were three naves, while the upper floor, housing the Armory, was completely open. The interior of the hall was completed in 1565. It was whitewashed and a large portion decorated with azulejos from Talavera de la Reina pottery by Juan Florez.

The most characteristic element of its structure was the called "Arc of the Armoury" that connected the Alcázar with the outside. The arc was built during the reign of Charles II of Habsburg.

Current location

In 1884 a fire partially destroyed the structure built by Philip II. Alfonso XII ordered no expense be spared in the construction of a new building which is its current headquarters. Alfonso's early death meant he did not see the culmination of his work, which was finally completed by the will of the Queen Maria Cristina. The main floor of the new building was conceived as a large room decorated with tapestries, weapons and outfits in which was installed the entire collection. The new facility was inaugurated in 1893.

The current Royal Armoury of Madrid is located on the ground floor of the Royal Palace of Madrid, and is considered, along with the Imperial Armoury of Vienna, one of the best in the world. It consists of pieces from as early as the 15th century. The collection highlights the tournament pieces made for Charles V and Philip II by the leading armourers of Milan and Augsburg. Among the most remarkable works are the full armour and weapons that Emperor Charles V used in the Battle of Mühlberg, and which was portrayed by Titian in his famous equestrian portrait housed at the Museo del Prado. The armoury retains some of the most important pieces of this art in Europe and the world, including several signed by Filippo Negroli, one of the most famous designers in the armourers' guild.

Collections
The weapons were guarded in the former building in large "drawers" of wood, i.e. large closets like cloakrooms. The distribution of the weapons in the room was thought through thoroughly. Higher grade weapons were stored inside the drawers. Firearms, archery, and to a lesser extent, some knives and small, were placed over the windows. The remaining pole weapons occupied the front ends of the room and the drawers. The western headwall highlighted two small pieces of artillery and four sledges with fittings of its shots.

The criteria of distribution and management inside the drawers were more complex. The first criterion of distribution catered to the owners of the weapons. Those belonging to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor occupied mainly the first eight drawers in the southern side, while those of Philip II were stored next to those of his father in the northern wall. According to the second criterion, certain drawers housed the set of armor, spines, trappings and clothing that constituted each of the harnesses of Charles V and Philip II. The third criterion, broader, responded to the types of objects. Thus each drawer kept only one type of weapon, dedicated for example to knives, or chain mail, or other objects with common features, duch as arms decorated in damascene. Other drawers guarded weapons of particular interest to the dynasty, such as the trophies of Mülhberg and Pavia, guns of legendary characters or some symbolic importance, the ceremonial sword of the Catholic Monarchs, the rapier sent by Pope Clement VII to Charles V, the armor sent to Philip II by the shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi or the swords attributed to El Cid, to el Gran Capitán, to Roland and to Boabdil.

The core of the current collection corresponds to the armory guarded by Philip II when he established the Court in Madrid, consisting of his personal armory, but especially that of his father, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who in turn had retained weapons belonging to his father, Philip I of Castile and his grandparents, Ferdinand II of Aragon and Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor. Within this set stand the armor of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and Philip II as a set of most important and core on which is based the rest of the collection. Alongside are other significant sets of the formation of the current collection, despite the irregular increase of its funds from the 16th to the 19th century: among these are the medieval weapons from the Treasury of the Alcázar of Segovia; the firearms of Charles V and Philip II; the child armor of the Princes and Infantes of Spain; military trophies; and diplomatic and family gifts sent by the following persons: the Duke of Mantua to Charles V; the shogun Toyotomi Hideyoshi to Philip II; Charles Emmanuel I, Duke of Savoy and James I of England to Philip III; Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia and Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria to Philip IV; or the Sultan of Turkey to Charles III among others. The last set of special importance in the collection are the firearms forged in Madrid for the venatoria activities of the Court, of great reputation throughout the continent.

The medieval and transition to Renaissance funds are a set of importance for its meaning, despite its number and diverse origins. One part was in the armory of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who had inherited his father's weapons, of his grandparents and some of his contemporaries. A second set comes from the Royal Treasury of the Alcazar of Segovia, moved to the Armory of Madrid by Philip II. A third group consists of several purchases, donations and transfers of royal medals made between the reigns of Ferdinand VII to Alfonso XII. Highlights the depiction of the emblems of the kingdoms of Castile, León and Aragon, present in the acicates and the mantle of Ferdinand III of Castile, those coming from his burial in the Cathedral of Seville, and the crest of Drac Alat attributed to Martin of Aragon. Together with them stand the royal sword of the Catholic Monarchs, used as ceremonial sword in the Spanish Court until the 18th century.

The reign of the Catholic Monarchs and the weaponry of Late Middle Ages, is also represented by weapons from various sources that frame the activity in this period. Also preserved are contemporary war weapons to the Granada War, consisting of illustrative defensive pieces of the Spanish, Italian and German workshops; and two of the oldest portable fire weapons known in Spain, even debtors in some ways, of the archery that supersede with the time. Within this group it deserve special mention the helmets and the armor pieces associated with a peculiar prestigious peninsular production, whose workshops have not yet been identified, but are supposed are from Aragonese origin; The Nasrid sultanate of Granada is present through a small but important sample of its panoply, since are preserved an example of each of the three types of weapons of Granadan creation; one genet from the collection of Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria; one leather shield preserved in the armory of Charles V; and a dagger wing associated with a belt with pouch and a holster for a Quran, those latter captured at the Battle of Lucena to Muhammad XII (Boabdil), and those presented to Alfonso XIII by the Marquis of Viana as part of the Villaseca legacy.

The collection retains weapons related with some of the facts and prominent figures of the reign of the Catholic Monarchs through their weapons, such as the sword of Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba (el Gran Capitán), or the weapons of Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, specifically a headpiece of horse, a coracina and two fences. The firsts allude to his power and dynasty by a decoration and heraldic and allegorical character that puts the imperial emblems. These weapons come from the collection of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor where were also guarding the weapons of his father, Philip I of Castile, representative of the marriage alliances between the Catholic Monarchs and Maximilian. The armory of Philip I of Castile is currently divided between the Hofjagd und Rüstkammer (Kunsthistorisches Museum) of Vienna and the Royal Armory of Madrid, where are primarily the weapons used since his marriage with Joanna of Castile, among which a two hands sword with his personal motto, and  helmets and testeras of Flemish, German and Italian origin; between these, two  helmets by the Milanos workshop of Filippo Negroli and three armor that match only two examples in the Flemish and Spanish production period.

The Armouries of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and Philip II
The armouries of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and Philip II constitute the core of the collection, especially in regard to the imperial armory. Meanwhile, the weapons of Philip II can not be dissociated from those of his father, given the close relationship between the two, and by their German or Italian origin within the same chronological period. In fact, most of the armors of Philip II were forged when Charles V lived, coinciding at times in its development with those of the Emperor. The whole of the armors of Charles V and Philip II was forged between 1519 and 1560, during the Renaissance, during the time of splendor of the art of the armour.

Essentially, is not a set of war weapons, but a collection of luxury weapons as a representation of power, intended to be used in the various events of the Court: fairs, tournaments, military parades, jousting, etc. Most of the armours of Charles V and Philip II were forged following the concept of fitting armor invented by Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor: consisted of a base armour provided with reinforcement parts or complement, decorated uniformly, so that the exchange of the different pieces that compose it, could lead to the formation of various figures intended to the combat on foot, to the fair and to the equestrian tournament, to the war in its different variants or to the parade. The Spanish Royal Collection retains much of these auxiliary pieces and a high number of fences or armors of horse, associated, in some cases, to such armors.

In this type of weapons is especially valued the constructive and technical wit, the formal design and the decoration, the latter rich in connotations of all being, from chivalry to the reflection of the ideas and themes of humanism through allegorical, religious, heraldic and / or dynastic, or recreating the classical tradition of the Roman times. The physical implementation of the decoration is done by techniques to show or enhance the beauty and richness of the pieces sculpted thanks to etched surfaces, light embossed, golden or silver surfaces, bluing, gold and silver damascened, etc. Therefore, throughout Europe the luxury weapons could only be forged and decorated in a limited number of highly specialized workshops. The most important were located, for historical and geographical reasons, in Germany and northern Italy. In the case of Charles V stand out the workshops of Kolman and Desiderius Helmschmid from Augsburg, and of Filippo Negroli and brothers from Milan. In the case of Philip II, Franz and Wolfgang Grosschedel from Landshut, Desiderius Helmschmid and Antoni Peffenhauser from Augsburg. These armourers are given special preference, but both Charles V and Philip II possessed weapons coming from other high-level workshops, such as Mattheus Frawenbrys, Caremolo Mondrone, or Bartolomeo Campi, either because these are specific orders, or by being parts submitted by various personages related to the Spanish Court.

These gonozooids produce the oozooids, which are usually seen in smaller numbers within the population.  Oozooids are distinguished by a conspicuous tail of asexually produced zooids, and have nine circumferential bands of muscle.

text:
Tina Juretzek (born 25 November 1952 in Leipzig) is a German painter. She studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Günter Grote and lives and works in Düsseldorf.

Biography

Juretzek spent her first six years in Thale, Harz. Her mother was a sculptor, her father a merchant, her great-grandmother was an author, and her grandmother a painter. In 1958 the family escaped from the former East Germany (GDR) and moved to Essen. After her A levels in 1971 Juretzek took up her studies at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf with Günter Grote. At the same time she studied aesthetics with Heinrich Theissing, Werner Spies and Walter Hofmann. In 1972, she began to study geography at the University of Düsseldorf focussing on physical geography. Her artistic work, painted on Japanese paper since 1991, reflects this interest.

Since 1979, Juretzek has been working as a freelance painter in Düsseldorf. Her work has been exhibited in numerous single and group exhibitions in galleries and museums. Of particular importance are her many years of intensive cooperation with the gallery Elke and Werner Zimmer in Düsseldorf. It were the Zimmers who presented Juretzek's work at quite an early stage of her artistic career in single exhibitions and continued to do so until 2000 when they closed their gallery.

Travels were of prime and initiating importance for the artist's work (India, USSR, Japan, South America, USA) In 1983, she traveled to the Lipari islands stopping on the active volcano Stromboli, where she stayed for some time and which inspired her to start an extensive line of work. It was after this journey that she began working in pen-and-ink. In 1985, she traveled from Moscow to Khabarovsk by the Trans-Siberian Railway. The journey covering 8,530 kilometers later found expression in the works World Landscapes, Night Journey and wheel and rail. This journey inspired her to work on extremely long frieze paintings. In 2004, she traveled to southern England and visited Stonehenge, which inspired that her series Ancient Sites (Sacred Mountains and places of power).

In 1999 and 2000 Juretzek's work was shown in a retrospective exhibition tour organized by the Pfalzgalerie Kaiserslautern, the Märkisches Museum Witten, the Heidelberger Kunstverein, the Städtische Galerie Gladbeck and the Stätisches Museum Mülheim an der Ruhr. In 2010, after having worked in the center of Düsseldorf for 26 years Juretzek moved her studio to the outskirts of the city.

Work
Juretzek's work is characterized by abstraction in the depiction of figures and landscapes. In this respect, the object always remains perceptible despite its strong abstraction. Thus, in the 80s Juretzek created her first large figurative paintings, focussing on the relationship between human figure and space. Later she used vessels as metaphors for human beings and she employed the motive of the source to symbolize life. It was the first time that in these large-format works of art the painter made use of technique combining painting and collage.

Juretzek's journey to Japan in 1991 inspired her to introduce a new line of work produced on Japanese paper. The artist turned to the theme of landscape and created a range of paintings in which she combined painting and collage with Japanese paper on canvas. In these paintings revealing inner experience and scenic associations, Jurtzek created a new relation between color, light and space, exceeding the boundaries of informal painting.

The third line of works is composed of Juretzek's extensive thematic series of drawings. A journey to the Lipari Islands in the early 1980s, inspired the painter to create ink drawings (Stromboli, Lilith, barrier landscapes, and others), the technique of which she has been using until today. In addition, Juretzek  carried out numerous public commissions, such as the World Travel frieze of 1988 covering a length of 24 metres at the Federal Office Cologne-Chorweiler.

title: Together for Serbia

text:
Together for Serbia (, ZZS) was a centre-left political party in Serbia. It was formed by Dušan Petrović in 2012, and he led the party until 2016, when he was succeeded by Nebojša Zelenović.

History
Party was created by a broken-off fraction of the Democratic Party (DS) in the aftermath of the 2012 elections after which president Boris Tadić lost to his opponent Tomislav Nikolić and inner arguments maintaint on resulting in early party elections and Tadic's withdrawal from the leadership, settling for an honorary presidential title, in favor of Belgrade mayor Dragan Đilas. A total of 7 MPs left the DS and founded in 2012 the "Together for Serbia" parliamentary club. Its leader is former minister Dušan Petrović.

At the 2014 election, ZZS teamed up with Boris Tadić's fraction of the DS in formation and will run on the election in a coalition with the League of Social Democrats of Vojvodina (LSV).

In 2018, the Party was one of the founding members of the big tent opposition coalition called the Alliance for Serbia (SzS). The alliance announced the 2020 Serbian parliamentary elections. In May 2019 ZZS formed a union with Democratic Party (DS) and Tadić's SDS. On 23 February 2020, Together for Serbia announced that they will participate in the 2020 elections on local (municipal) level, shortly after that Alliance for Serbia's leadership commented that Together for Serbia disqualificated itself from the coalition.

The party keeps close ties and cooperates with the centre-left Do not let Belgrade drown (NDB), and it has previously had ties with the centrist Civic Democratic Forum (GDF). In July 2021, ZZS announced that it applied for membership to the European Green Party. The leader of ZZS, Nebojša Zelenović, announced the formation of "Action", a political group built around 28 environmental civic groups that support the "Green Agreement of Serbia", in June 2021. Later during the environmental protests in November, Zelenović, Dobrica Veselinović, leader of the NDB and Aleksandar Jovanović Ćuta, environmental activist and de facto leader of the protests, have announced the formation of a joint list for the upcoming general elections and Belgrade City Assembly election. The media dubbed the coalition as "Green-Left bloc". The formation was finalized on 19 January, when it was announced to the public that the coalition has been officially formed.

Alongside the Assembly of Free Serbia and Ecological Uprising, the party was merged into Together on 11 June 2022.

Tilmann Wröbel is a Franco-German fashion designer born in 1964 in Düsseldorf, Germany. He is currently working and living in both Biarritz, France and Düsseldorf, Germany.

Biography

Background in Haute Couture

In the 80's, Tilmann Wröbel arrived in Paris and enrolled at the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne as a student fashion designer.
During his scholarship, Tilmann Wröbel was ahead of his school colleagues. After his 1st year he was already working at Christian Dior's Haute Couture as a long-term intern. Thanks to a school project, a retrospective about André Courrèges and his work, Courrèges offered to work with him. Tilmann went back to school to graduate but worked at the same time at Nina Ricci's Haute Couture studio, located on avenue Montaigne.

From Haute Couture, to Sportswear & Denim
In 1988, he was member of the board of directors of the French Skateboard Federation and referee for every championship. His passion for skateboard culture lead him to work with Etnies and Homeboy in 1989 where he designed their apparel ranges. In 1990, he co-founded the first French Indoor Skate-park.

In 1994 he joined Chipie, a French Denim brand at that time, where he became head-designer in 1995. He worked with Jean Elbaz, Christian Sansat and other international denim experts.

In 1997 he was designing surfwear, streetwear & denim for 10 years.

In 2007 he started working as an independent designer for the Quiksilver Group and founded his own company, "Monsieur-T.", the international Studio for Denim and Bottoms”.

is the first Heritage denim brand with Genderfree products.
All jeans are crafted with rare Japanese denim fabrications.

Nadel & Pen

NADEL & PEN is a brand. NADEL & PEN churns out Denim fabrication. MADE IN FRANCE, a minimum of 135 hours is wasted on every pair of trousers without any help of sewing machines.

Nadel & Pen exposed its "Manifesto for artisanal Luxury" in the beginning of February in Munich.

Showcased under crafted indigo kakemonos, and highlighted on indigo resined chunks of trees, Nadel & Pen exposed three of its Denim-Sculptures.

100% handmade in France, the three sculptures featured objects of mass-industrialisation, wrapped up in collectible selvage denim, turning these "out of service".

International press was enthusiastic and then, articles popped-up .

His artistic side
As a child, Tilmann was already interested by modern art, sculpted and painted in a contemporary style. He later had the chance to briefly meet with Joseph Beuys and was heavily influenced by Düsseldorf’s emerging art & industrial music scene (JÖRG IMMENDORF, D.A.F., KRAFTWERK… )

As an adult, he participated in 2004 at the exposition ELEMENT REALITY MODELS. One year later, he was awarded by Damon Way at the occasion of the DC-FRENCH ARTIST PROJECT.

Today Tilmann works on a project of “Handsewn manifesto’s against the machines” through denim pieces of art. He turns daily items into timeless and unattainable works to show how the slight imperfections and irregularity of made by hand reveals the human touch”.

title: Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu

text:
Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu (born 1980) is an Ethiopian businesswoman, founder and executive director of soleRebels, Africa's "fastest growing footwear company". Bethlehem has received honors and accolades for her business acumen, as well as her efforts to shift the discourse on Africa away from poverty to the continent's entrepreneurial spirit, social capital, and economic potential. Bethlehem launched  "The Republic of Leather", designing sustainable luxury leather goods, and "Garden of Coffee" retail outlets to promote Ethiopian coffees.

Early life
Bethlehem was born in the Zenebework area of Addis Ababa. Her parents worked at a local hospital. Alemu attended public primary and secondary schools, and then went on to study accounting at Unity University, graduating in 2004.

Bethlehem was the first female African entrepreneur to address the Clinton Global Initiative and was named Outstanding African Business Woman by African Business Awards in 2011.

Business ventures
In early 2005, Bethlehem founded soleRebels to provide ecologically and economically sustainable jobs for her community. Seeing that many skilled artisans in her small community in Zenebework were living with chronic unemployment, she wanted to showcase their skill and offer work to those in her community.

The soles of the shoes are made from recycled car tyres. Today, the company has stores all over the world, including in Ethiopia, Singapore, Switzerland and Taiwan.

Bethlehem is deeply proud of having been able to create global brands like soleRebels and Garden of Coffee.

History
The company began out of a workshop on a plot of land owned by Bethlehem's grandmother in Zenebework.

SoleRebels has flourished, growing to 300 employees in Ethiopia, with distribution to thirty countries worldwide, selling to market kingmakers Whole Foods, Urban Outfitters and Amazon. Franchised and company-owned stores were planned to open in Austria, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the UK. Bethlehem wanted to create well-paid jobs which could create prosperity using the artisan talents and natural resources of Ethiopia. The selection of footwear as the launch product for the company came later. Bethlehem was inspired by the seleate or barabasso, the traditional recycled tire sole shoe crafted in Ethiopia, and footwear became the locus around which she chose to build the company.

In 2016 the company sold 125,000 pairs of shoes and it had created 1,200 jobs.

In 2014, Bethlehem announced a new business venture, The Republic of Leather, via a blog post on the soleRebels website. Bethlehem identified the luxury leather goods industry as being "ripe for a total re-imagining," along similar lines to what she had accomplished with soleRebels and the footwear industry. Besides espousing the same ideals of ecological and economic sustainability as soleRebels, The Republic of Leather is centered on principles of customer choice—customer choice of design, producer and receiving charity of 5% of the price they pay.

In 2017, "Garden of Coffee" was added to her companies. It begins with outlets in Addis Ababa.

Philosophy

Bethlehem seeks to challenge the traditional narrative about Africa and in particular, Ethiopia, "countering the shibboleth that Africa and Africans don't know how to create their way to prosperity." Bethlehem believes Ethiopians must wrest control of their own narrative from the "people and elites with a vested interest in positioning Ethiopia as 'needing help' and specifically needing the 'help' they happen to be offering," as Bethlehem explained in an interview with The Next Woman. The global success of companies like soleRebels helps to dispel these old narratives and allows for Ethiopians to shape their own international image.

Honors and accolades
In 2011 Bethlehem was chosen by the World Economic Forum as a Young Global Leader.
Bethlehem was listed on Forbes magazine's 20 Youngest Power Women in Africa in 2011
In 2012 Alemu was included on Forbes '100 Most Powerful' and profiled as a "Woman to Watch."
In 2012 Bethlehem was named by Business Insider as one of "Africa's Top 5 Female Entrepreneurs."
In 2012 Bethlehem was chosen as NYC Venture Fellow by Mayor Bloomberg.
In 2012 Bethlehem was chosen as one of Arise Magazine's "100 Dynamic Women," who are shaping modern Africa.
In 2013 Bethlehem was listed as #62 in Fast Company'''s "100 Most Creative People in Business 2013."
In 2013 Bethlehem was a Counsellor at that year's One Young World Summit.
In 2013 Bethlehem was listed as one of Madame Figaro's "15 Most Powerful African Women."
In 2013 Bethlehem was chosen to join the advisory board of the Green Industry Platform, convened by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and the UN Environment Program.
In 2013 Bethlehem was chosen by readers of The Guardian'' as one of "Africa's Top Women Achievers."
In 2014 Bethlehem was named as one of CNN's "12 Female Entrepreneurs Who Changed the Way We Do Business."

title: History of the Hmong Americans in Metro Detroit

text:
As of 2007 most Hmong people in the State of Michigan live in northeastern Detroit, but they have been increasingly moving to Pontiac and Warren.

History
Many Hmong immigrated to Michigan after the end of the Vietnam War in the 1970s. The Hmong had moved to Detroit in order to obtain employment and so members of the same families could live in the same area. Hmong people had migrated to Detroit from various places in the United States.

By 2000 there were about 1,700 Hmong people in the Osborn neighborhood of Detroit. As of 2001 there were about 5,000 Hmong in total in Metro Detroit, with most of them living in the east side of Detroit and Warren. As of that year, Metro Detroit's Hmong population is smaller than the major Hmong populations in California, Minnesota, and Wisconsin.

As of 2002 the concentrations of Hmong and Laotian people in the tri-county area were in northeast Detroit, southern Warren, and central Pontiac. In 2002 Booza and Metzger wrote that "The 3,943 Hmong living in tri-county area are one of the most concentrated of the Asian groups." A 2010 report from Data Driven Detroit, City Connect Detroit, stated that within the Osborn neighborhood of Detroit, the Hmong, which now numbered at 560, "had established a tight-knit community". By 2013 the Hmong population in the Osborn neighborhood had declined due to Hmong people moving to Warren and Sterling Heights.

Demographics
Emily Lawsin, a lecturer in Asian/Pacific Islander American Studies at the University of Michigan, stated in 2006 that most Asians in the City of Detroit are Hmong.

As of 2001 40% of Detroit Hmong households had members of three generations living in each residence. As of 2001 the average Hmong household in Metro Detroit had 5.7 residents. The weighted average from the 1990 U.S. Census stated that the average household size in Detroit and Warren was 2.6 residents.

As of 2001 the average adult Hmong person came from a family that had an average of 8.2 children, so the average adult Hmong had 7.2 siblings. The average adult Hmong planned to have five children and had three children, making it a decline of 3.2 children in one generation, while it remained higher than the U.S. average of 1.9 children per family.

Economics
As of 2001 90% of households had an income between $30,000 and $70,000. The changes in welfare laws and acculturation caused more Hmong to work.

As of 2001 most Hmong work in blue collar jobs, including factory work and machine parts jobs. Many Hmong work in automobile plants. In addition as of that year many work for Detroit Public Schools as bilingual teachers and assistants. The number of Hmong bilingual teachers and assistants was increasing as of 2001. Other than the teachers and assistants there were few professional Hmong.

Most Hmong do not own businesses. As of 2001 almost 100 restaurants, serving Chinese and Thai food, are owned by Hmong, making Michigan the state with the highest number of Hmong-owned restaurants. In addition, as of 2001 three Hmong grocery stores were located in Detroit, and some Hmong operated Hmong grocery stores.

Smith stated that due to the small size of the Detroit Hmong community, the teaching sector and the restaurant sector "occupies a non-trivial share of the adult population and allows a substantial number of Hmong to work with co-ethnics."

Institutions
The Hmong Community Inc. in Detroit previously served as a decision-making committee for the Hmong community and had a more active role. Natalie Jill Smith, author of the PhD thesis "Ethnicity, Reciprocity, Reputation and Punishment: An Ethnoexperimental Study of Cooperation among the Chaldeans and Hmong of Detroit (Michigan)" wrote that the activity in the group had declined by 2001: now it had once monthly meetings to plan the annual Hmong New Year festival, and the organization itself "consists of a room with an answering machine."

Smith wrote that there were few organized Hmong groups in Michigan. Those that existed included the Hmong Women United of Michigan, which in 2001 had been newly established, and some Hmong churches.

The Hmong Women United of Michigan was founded by a group of Hmong women. Some Hmong men felt threatened by an increasing power in Hmong women and they prohibited their wives from joining that group.

The Detroit Asian Youth Project (DAY Project) seeks to develop political self-awareness, awareness about Asian cultures, and leadership skills. The group, founded by students, primarily works with Hmong students.

Language
In a 2001 study of Detroit and Warren Hmong, 50% spoke both English and Hmong in the house, 29% spoke only Hmong in the house, and 21% spoke only English in the house. Parents spoke to themselves in Hmong. Most children spoke to their parents in Hmong but some younger schoolchildren spoke to their parents in English. Hmong siblings tended to speak to each other in English. Smith wrote that she believed that English will become the primary language in Hmong households as Hmong children who speak English among one another grow up and have their own families.

Education
As of 2001 Detroit Hmong had below average educational attainment. The area had a total of one Hmong doctor and relatively few people who had already graduated from university. At the time some Hmong were attending university.

In 2006 two Hmong high school students who spoke at a forum hosted by the United Asian American Organizations at the University of Michigan stated that the upholding of traditional family obligations and the lack of English knowledge from their parents complicated their high school careers.

A former teacher at Osborn High School in Osborn, Detroit stated that the student body was about one third Hmong after the first wave of Hmong people moved into northeast Detroit.

Religion
Smith stated that she had been told that the percentage of Christians in the Detroit Hmong community had ranged from 25% to 50% but that it "is not known with certainty".

One Hmong church in Metro Detroit had about 100-200 congregants on every Sunday. Only one member, a White woman married to a Hmong person, was a non-Hmong.

Popular culture
The film Gran Torino depicts a Hmong family living in Metro Detroit.

title: Jaltomata

text:
Jaltomata is a genus of plants in the family Solanaceae. According to molecular phylogenies, Jaltomata is the sister genus to Solanum, which includes tomato, potato, and eggplant. Jaltomata has a neotropical distribution, in that species occur from the United States southwest through Latin America, and into the Andean region of South America. Species encompass a wide range of vegetative and reproductive trait variation, including growth habit (trailing herbs, erect herbs, and woody shrubs), floral size, shape and color, as well as fruit size and color. The fruits of some of the species are eaten by humans in Latin and South America. Depending on the species, fruits may be red, green, orange, or dark purple.

Etymology
The name comes from xāltomatl, lit. "sand tomato", the Nahuatl (Aztec) name for the species Jaltomata procumbens (earlier Saracha jaltomata). The Nahuatl X is pronounced like an English SH, but when borrowed into Mexican Spanish and spelled J, the pronunciation is like an English H. Both Mexican and US American botanists pronounce the J this way.

title: Peter Fjellstedt

text:
Peter Fjellstedt (17 September 1802 – 4 January 1881) was a Swedish Nyevangelist missionary and preacher who founded the Fjellstedt School and Evangeliska Fosterlands-Stiftelsen.

Biography

Upbringing
Fjellstedt was born to carpenter Lars Larsson and Catharina Carlsdotter in Värmland, Sweden in 1802, the first child in a poor family of craftsmen. His surname was originally Larsson. At a young age, he went from farm to farm to beg. In 1812 there was a severe famine in the area and the family had to mix bark and bone meal in their bread.

For several winters, he contributed to the family's livelihood by teaching the children of the neighbouring village to read and write. In the summers, he had to herd the family's sheep in the Dalsland forests around the cottage. Fjellstedt writes in his autobiography: "Often I went up on some big rock and preached, as best I could, to my cows, sheep and lambs". At one of these places where he preached there was a large stone which later came to be known as the Fjellstedt Stone and where every year since 1965 a service is held in his memory.

Education
After Fjellstedt was confirmed, he managed to get into Karlstad's school of learning, thanks to gifts from the more prosperous farms in the area. He walked the  distance there. He then studied in Karlstad for three and a half years, renting living space from a tavernkeeper and having to sleep on the lid of a wooden chest with his coat for a blanket. In the school's name register he was for the first time given the surname Fjellstedt, after his home village of Fjällane.

In 1823, Fjellstedt began studies at Lund University in Christian ministry. There he met Esaias Tegnér, who encouraged him, even stating: "I have seen, tested and approved Peter Fjellstedt." He later stayed in Småland for over a year and a half working for Lieutenant Colonel C. Kuylenstierna and Major C. J. von Mentzer as a private tutor, where he experienced a strong spiritual revival. Fjellstedt returned to Lund in 1825 to complete his studies, where he was taught by a follower of Pietistic priest Henric Schartau. He also became convinced of his calling to go out as a missionary, a conviction that was consolidated during a time as a teacher at the Moravian school in Gothenburg. The school's founder had a number of writings on missions work which Fjellstedt had access to. He was ordained in May 1828 in Karlstad by .

Missions work
Fjellstedt then undertook further missionary training with Basel Mission, after which he went to London in 1829. On his way there, he made a visit to Sweden, where he met Peter Wieselgren and led to the founding of  ('the Swedish Mission Society in Gothenburg'). He met some Swedish church leaders, including Frans Michael Franzén and . In London, Fjellstedt studied medicine and had planned to study Arabic, Amharic, and Tigrinya to go to Ethiopia, but he was unable to go there so instead he studied Persian and Coptic. He married Christina Beata Schweizerbarth in London in 1831. The next year, he was sent by the Church Mission Society to Palayamkottai in Tamil Nadu, India, for his first missionary assignment. After three years, he returned home due to poor health, with one of his children dying on the trip home. In Stuttgart, he met one of his old friends from Basel, German missionary Johann Ludwig Krapf. He went on a further assignment to Izmir, Turkey, in 1836, as well as Malta, but left the mission field again in 1840. He then returned to Basel, where he served as a teacher at the Mission Institute.

Return to Sweden
After working for a time as a traveling preacher in Switzerland, Germany and France, Fjellstedt returned to Sweden in 1843, where he was involved in teaching, writing and training. This involved a preaching tour in which he preached for 100,000 people in most of the counties of southern and central Sweden, speaking engagingly about his mission work. One priest, P. Wagenius, after hearing Fjellstedt's preaching likely in 1857, described the scene:

In 1845, money was gathered to support Fjellstedt and his family through enabling him to preach, establishing the Lund Missionary Society, where he became director in 1846. Bishops Henrik Reuterdahl, Ebbe Gustaf Bring and priests Johan Henrik Thomander, Peter Wieselgren, and  were some of those involved in the organization. Its first two students in the 1840s were some of the first Swedish missionaries to China, Carl Joseph Fast and . The institute moved first to Stockholm in 1856 and later to Uppsala in 1859, where it was renamed in 1862 and became a school for future priests: the Fjellstedt School.

Fjellstedt was awarded an honorary doctorate of theology by the University of Halle in Germany in 1853. His wife and children primarily stayed in Germany as she did not like life in Sweden.

He and others, including  and , had been influenced by the Free Church of Scotland and its pastors such as James Lumsden and saw the need to form a mission society to bring revival to the Swedish church. In 1855, he proposed the foundation of a new free church mission, the Evangeliska Fosterlands-Stiftelsen, which was founded the following year. The organization remained part of the Lutheran church but was influenced by, and had much in common with, the Baptists and other free churches. A number of free-church colporteurs, itinerant sellers of Christian literature, were involved early on; however, many left to form the Baptist Union of Sweden in 1857. Fjellstedt would later influence the organization to begin mission work among the Oromo people in the Horn of Africa.

Fjellstedt supported lay preacher Amelie von Braun's pioneering Sunday school work, which she began sometime between 1848 and 1856. He also visited philanthropist Emilie Petersen, known as the 'Herrestad Grandmother' (). She was godmother to his son Joel.

From 1861 to 1863, he preached in Överum. He also led a church meeting in which it was discussed whether or not to stay in the state church. Participants included Carl Olof Rosenius, Gustav Adolph Lammers, , Per August Ahlberg, and . After that, he worked at the Gothenburg cathedral with Peter Wieselgren for nine years, then spent several years in Germany before returning to Uppsala in the last few years of his life after his wife's death in 1876. Towards the end of his life he was engaged in writing; his  was one of Baptist publisher Per Palmqvist's most significant publications.

Upon his friend Wieselgren's death in 1877, he buried him at Stampens Cemetery in Gothenburg.

He was the first president of the organization , founded in 1880, which supported missions work in Lappmarken and was supported by the Swedish royal family and the Church of Sweden.

Religious views
Fjellstedt was part of the Nyevangelism movement and a key figure among the Mission Friends. He was critical of the state of Christianity in the country. Around 1850 he wrote to the missionary inspector Blumhardt in Basel, "The state of Christianity in Sweden is very deplorable, and the cause is an ignorance which surpasses all imagination, and that among all classes of people."

Fjellstedt placed an emphasis on Christian eschatology, holding a historic premillennial, non-dispensationalist view on the Second Coming of Jesus, which he preached on. His work  also addresses these topics, discussing the signs of the times and the date of the return of Christ as well as the Antichrist and the apostasy of the Jews.

In 1856–1861 he wrote a Bible version with commentaries between the original verses. It was published in nine editions until 1919.

Death
He died in Uppsala in 1881 and is buried in Uppsala old cemetery.

Controversy

Hon's scandal
It was reported that a transgender woman, A, had written a Facebook post maligning male idol, B, for casting her aside after taking advantage of her resources. She had revealed that the idol in question had joined an already existing idol group back in November, which led to widespread speculations about his possible identity. One of these guesses included Mr.Mr's Hon, which led the group's agency Winning Insight to release their official stance on February 17.  The agency wrote:

"Transgender A's writing has nothing to do with Mr.Mr's Hon. These claims are groundless.  After checking for confirmation, we found out that A and Mr.Mr's Hon were friends that counseled each other about their concerns even before A became a transgender. There was a time they helped each other out financially, but they are not more than friends.

Contrary to A's assertions, the claims they were more than friends, they were living together, she introduced him to a host bar for work, and she filmed their sexual intercourse are all false.  Resulting from the controversial writing, Hon is having a hard time because of the shock and hurt he received from a friend whom he had trusted.  They are preparing to sue A for defamation."
Hon will now be leaving the group, as stated in his letter due to the controversy.

It was revealed that the transgender woman has lied about the controversy, 'A' issued her official apology regarding all of this.  She said in an exclusive interview with Sports Korea on February 18, "The words I wrote are all untrue.  Firstly, in relation to causing this, I am sorry towards Hon and the people around him.  I did not know that the words I wrote when I was feeling down and in a drunken state would become such a huge problem as this.  There are definitely no such things as videos."

It turned out that she and Hon had been friends even before she had undergone surgery. However, while Hon was preparing to debut as a singer, he had stopped contacting her, which made her sad and resulted in her writing these untrue claims after having a few drinks.

She said, "I was frustrated that Hon did not contact me and grew more distant after becoming a singer.  Since we communicated so well, we were friends who would give each other a lot of advice about our problems and lean on each other.  I think that is why I was even sadder after Hon debuted as a singer.  The content in my writing was based on an acquaintance's situation; I only wrote it as if it were my personal situation because I had drunk alcohol."

Lastly, A said, "After this incident happened, I had a phone conversation with Hon.  I was grateful that Hon did not hold me responsible nor did he rebuke me, which made me feel even more apologetic.  No matter the circumstances, I acknowledge that I caused this huge situation and made a mistake.  In addition, I am greatly reflecting on this so I hope I will not be sued. Hon told me he was talking with his agency, but I hope with all my heart for favourable arrangements."

Due to this Hon left the group after this controversy, he wrote "I'm sorry because I think I worried and disappointed a lot of people. A, who wrote the controversial post, and I were friends since a long time ago. But I wanted to say for certain that things in the post such as that I worked at a host bar, had financial troubles, had a video, and dated A are not true."

He added, "After A wrote the post drunk, she checked it again a few hours later and said that she thought she made a mistake. Since she wrote it in a personal space, I didn't think there would be any problems. I told her not to think about it, and hung up. I don't want to sue an old friend. If the writings are true, I'd be embarrassed, but I didn't live my life like that. But it's true that MR.MR's image was hurt by this. So I decided to leave MR.MR."

The label reported saying "Our label and the MR.MR members have decided to follow Hon's decision. We will not stop our support and encouragement so Hon can start anew. We're sincerely sorry for worrying our fans, and please support Hon and MR.MR members after this difficult decision."

Dissing SM Entertainment
When Mr.Mr. came back with the self-titled single, it also bore the same name as Girls' Generation's comeback EP Mr.Mr. which was released four days before. This raised suspicions by fans whether or not the boy group were mocking the girl group. Regarding this connection to Girls' Generation, a rep of Mr.Mr told that Asia Economy that the rumours were true. Mr.Mr's new single included lyrics such as: "How could you do that when I'm right here? / Girl, you come out so easily from behind the curtain / Not me, but another mistake, Mr.Mr / I bet you're amused by my embarrassment," and, "I become faint for a main like you / Am I loser and are you a winner? / We're going the same path / I must have looked small from your high perch / Is that why you did that to me?"

The group's agency WinningIn Sight CEO, released an official position on the group's diss song towards Girls' Generation's title track name on March 5. They mentioned the controversial diss's rumours were true. They also mentioned that the diss was directed towards Girls' Generation's company SM Entertainment.

title: Maiken Nedergaard

text:
Maiken Nedergaard is a Danish neuroscientist most well known for discovering the glymphatic system. She is a jointly appointed professor in the Departments of Neuroscience and Neurology at the University of Rochester Medical Center. She holds a part-time appointment in the Department of Neurosurgery within the University of Rochester Center for Translational Neuromedicine, where she is the principal investigator of the Division of Glial Disease and Therapeutics laboratory. She is also Professor of Glial Cell Biology at the University of Copenhagen, Center for Translational Neuromedicine.

Education
Nedergaard attended the University of Copenhagen, where she received an M.D. in 1983 and a D.M.Sc in 1988. She completed post-doctoral training in neuropathology/physiology at the University of Copenhagen (1984-1987) and subsequently in neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medicine (1987-1988).

Research
In 2010, Nedergaard discovered the role of the adenosine molecule in acupuncture-induced analgesia.

In 2013, Nedergaard discovered the glymphatic system, a network of channels in the brain whose purpose is to eliminate toxins using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). She called it the "glymphatic system" due to its dependence on glial cells. She was awarded the 2014 Newcomb Cleveland Prize for her discovery.

Subsequent research by Nedergaard and colleagues has revealed that the aquaporin-4 water channel protein plays a crucial role in modulating the flow of CSF between the perivascular space and the brain interstitium. Dysfunction of the glymphatic system has been shown to impair healing after traumatic injury and to accelerate the accumulation of toxic metabolites such as amyloid beta, implicating the glymphatic system in neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Huntington's disease, and Parkinson's disease. The glymphatic system has also been shown to interact with the recently discovered meningeal lymphatic system.

Presently, Nedergaard's lab focuses on neuron-glia interactions, the glymphatic system, astrocyte evolution, cerebral blood flow regulation, chronic pain, and the role of glia after stroke or spinal cord injury.

Awards and honors
Nedergaard's discovery of the glymphatic system was honored as one of Science Magazine's ten "Breakthroughs of the Year" in 2013. In 2014, she accepted a Novo Nordisk Foundation Laureate Research Grant in 2014 to assist in establishing a Center for Basic and Translational Neuroscience at the University of Copenhagen. She remains affiliated with both the University of Copenhagen and the University of Rochester.

Nedergaard has received numerous individual prizes for her contributions to the study of neuron-glia interactions in health and disease:
