title: Fenestellidae

text:
Fenestellidae is a family of bryozoans belonging to the order Fenestrida. The skeleton of its colonies consists of stiff branches that are interconnected by narrower crossbars (or dissepiments). The individuals of the colony (or zooids) inhabit one side of the branches in two parallel rows or two at the branch base and three or more rows further up. Zooids can be recognized as small rimmed pores (or apertures), and in well-preserved specimens the apertures are closed by centrally perforated lids. The front of the branches carries small nodes in a row or zigzag line between the apertures. Branches split (or bifurcate) from time to time giving the colonies a fan-shape or, in the genus Archimedes, create an mesh in the shape of an Archimedes screw.

Like all bryozoans, Fenestellids were epifaunal suspension feeders, that occurred between the early Ordovician and the Triassic. Fossils of this family have been found in marine sediments all over the world.

title: James Balfour (died 1845)

text:
James Balfour ( 1775 – 19 April 1845) was a Scottish nabob who became a landowner and politician.  The son of a prosperous and influential Scottish gentry family, he became a trader in India. Having made a fortune supplying the Royal Navy, he returned to Scotland to buy several landed estates, including Whittingehame in East Lothian where he built a classical mansion.

Balfour became a Tory Member of Parliament (MP) from 1826 to 1834, but never achieved ministerial office.  However, many of his descendants found fame and success, including his grandson Arthur Balfour,
who served as prime minister from 1902 to 1905.

At his death, Balfour's estates in Scotland alone were estimated to be worth over £1 million (equivalent to £ in ).

Family and early life

Balfour was born about 1775.
He was the second son of John Balfour (1739–1813), an advocate who owned Balbirnie House, near the town of Glenrothes in Fife. His elder brother Robert Balfour, who inherited Balbirnie, became a Lieutenant-General in the British Army.

His ancestor George Balfour had purchased Balbirnie in the late 16th or early 17th century, and by the late 18th century its land included profitable mines in the Fife Coalfield.

Career

India
After studying book-keeping and accountancy in Edinburgh, Balfour went to Madras in March 1795 as a writer (junior clerk) for the British East India Company.  He held several posts in the following years, before being sent back to Britain after a disciplinary issue.

Balfour returned to India in 1802, where he became a merchant in partnership with James Baker. His breakthrough came in 1806, when the partners obtained the contract with the Victualling Commissioners of the Royal Navy to supply their needs throughout the East Indies.

The contract had been held since 1796 by the Hon. Basil Cochrane, who had built his own flour mills and bakeries in Madras.
Cochrane returned to England in 1806 due to ill-health, and had intended to appoint Balfour and Baker as his agents.
However, before leaving, Cochrane was notified that the Navy was reviewing his accounts dating back to 1794, and that the Navy had lost much of the paperwork. He then returned to England permanently to settle the accounts, which took until 1820.

Instead of engaging agents, Cochrane passed the contract to Balfour and Baker, who held it until at least 1815.
At some point the partnership was dissolved, and the contract held by Balfour alone.
When he left India, he had accumulated a fortune of £300,000
(equivalent to £ in ).

The Indian business did not end with Balfour's return home. It was run on his behalf by agents, and within a few decades the family's assets had grown ten-fold to £3 million
(equivalent to £ in ).

Scotland

On his return to Scotland in 1815, Balfour married Lady Eleanor Maitland (1790–1869), daughter of the Tory politician James Maitland, 8th Earl of Lauderdale.
They had seven children, three of whom predeceased their parents. The eldest son was killed by a fire in 1822.

Within two years of their marriage, Balfour had bought two large county estates. The first was a sporting estate with shooting lodge in the Highlands, at Strathconan in Ross-shire.
In 1817, he purchased the  Whittingehame estate in Haddingtonshire from Colonel William Hay of Duns Castle,
which provided a net rental income of £11,000 per year (equivalent to £,000 in ). He also bought a town house in London,
No. 3 Grosvenor Square.

In the 1820s the Balfours employed the architect Robert Smirke, designer of the British Museum, to build a large classical mansion at Whittingehame,
along with a stable block and gate lodges.
They equipped their home with French furniture and Sèvres china.
Built of pale cullalo stone, the house was expanded and altered in 1827 to the designs of William Burn, which were not entirely successful. Colin McWilliam and Christopher Wilson describe them as having changed "a dry composition into a boring one".

They then rebuilt the local church, and created a new model village to the north-west of the old one. Built in about 1840 of red sandstone, it consists of a row of cottages and a school.

Established as a country gentleman, though known locally as "the nabob",
Balfour became a justice of the peace,
and in 1822 was appointed as a Deputy Lieutenant of Haddingtonshire.

In about 1823
or 1824 he paid £104,000
(equivalent to £ in ) to buy from the 10th Earl of Leven
a large estate in his native Fife, including Balgonie Castle.
Adjacent to his native Balbirnie, the Balgonie estate included coal mines which worked seams described as "inexhaustible"
and iron workings.

Parliament
In November 1820, the death of Henry St Paul MP triggered a by-election for the borough of Berwick-upon-Tweed, where Balfour's father-in-law Lord Lauderdale had great influence.
Balfour was also supported by Admiral Sir David Milne,
who had defeated St Paul at the general election in March 1820
but was unseated on petition in July.

However, Lauderdale was disliked for his opposition to the popular Queen Caroline, which became a significant issue in the campaign. His agents claimed that Balfour would have opposed her trial for alleged adultery, but he was portrayed as too close to Liverpool's Tory ministry to properly represent interests of the borough. After four days of polling, Balfour lost by 9 votes (374—363) to the Whig baronet Sir Francis Blake.

A further vacancy occurred in Berwick in 1822, but Balfour did not contest the seat.
Instead, he turned his attentions to the Anstruther Burghs, a set of five burghs which were located only 15 miles from his newly purchased estate at Balgonie in Fife.
At the 1826 general election he won the support of three burghs of Pittenweem, Anstruther Easter and Crail, whereas the sitting MP and Lord Advocate of Scotland Sir William Rae won only Anstruther Wester and Kilrenny.
With three out of five votes
Balfour was declared elected,
and a petition lodged by Rae was rejected in March 1827.

In 1829, several groups of his constituents submitted petitions against the Roman Catholic Relief Bill. Balfour presented all the petitions to Parliament,
but in April he voted with the majority in favour of the Bill.

Balfour was opposed at the 1830 general election by Robert Marsham, the Warden of Merton College, Oxford. However, he won the seat,
taking three of the four boroughs remaining after Kilrenny's disenfranchisement in 1829.

At the 1831 general election, Balfour was drafted to stand instead in the county seat of Haddingtonshire, the area which included Whittingehame. The sitting MP Lord John Hay had been an advocate of Parliamentary reform, a view which was supported by the county's voteless tenant farmers but opposed by the existing voters. Lord John's position looked untenable, so Balfour was drafted by Lord Lauderdale and Hay's brother Lord Tweeddale.  Describing himself as an opponent of the current reform proposals, but a supporter of a "wise and prudent amendment to the representative system", he won the seat by a margin of 40 votes to the 11 of his opponent Sir David Baird, Bt.
However, a crowd of non-voting residents of Haddington shouted down his attempts to make a speech of thanks.

The new Parliament was dominated by the Reform Bills, and in the last Parliament of the Unreformed House of Commons Balfour voted against them at most opportunities.
At the general election in December 1832, with the franchise expanded under the Scottish Reform Act, Balfour was re-elected
but with a much narrower majority of 271 votes to 232.

His health had been declining, and he cited that as his reason for retiring at the dissolution of Parliament in December 1834.
At the general election in January 1835,
the Haddingtonshire seat was won by the Whig Robert Ferguson.

Death and legacy

Balfour died at Whittingehame in April 1845, aged about 70. He was survived by his wife, Lady Eleanor, two sons, and two daughters. Another two daughters and a son predeceased him.

The surviving children were:
 James Maitland Balfour (1820–1856), MP for Haddington Burghs 1841–47, father of five sons and three daughters
 Charles Balfour (1823–1872), who married Adelaide Barrington, daughter and 8th child of the 6th Viscount Barrington.
 Mary Balfour (1817–1893), a noted watercolour artist who married Henry Arthur Herbert, owner of the Muckross estate in County Kerry, and Chief Secretary for Ireland 1857–58
 Anna Balfour (1825–1857), who married Lord Augustus Fitzroy, later 7th Duke of Grafton

On his death, Balfour's estate was valued at over £1 million.  His widow Eleanor (who survived him by 24 years) was left a legacy of £31,000 and a life annuity of £3,760.

The rest was divided between his children. The estates at Whittingehame and Strathconan were left to his eldest son, along with a house in Grosvenor Square, London.
His property in Fife, including Balgonie Castle, was left to his second son Charles, while his daughters Mary and Anna had each been given a dowry of £40,000 (equivalent to £ in ).

Until the Reform Act in 1832, political power in Britain had been dominated for centuries by a land-owning oligarchy, and for another century they shared power with the rising bourgeoisie.
The Balfour family straddled both groups.  James Balfour's new wealth brought new vigour to the ancient family, with many of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren achieving notability. They include:

James Maitland Balfour's children:
Arthur Balfour, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1902 to 1905
 Eleanor Mildred Sidgwick (1845–1936), Principal of Newnham College, Cambridge
 Alice Blanche Balfour (1850–1936), amateur entomologist
Francis Maitland Balfour (1851–1882), one of the greatest biologists of his day
 Gerald Balfour, 2nd Earl of Balfour (1853–1945), a cabinet minister from 1895 to 1905. His daughter Lady Eve Balfour (1899–1990) was an early advocate of organic farming, and co-founder of the Soil Association
 Colonel Eustace James Anthony Balfour (1854–1911), an architect who served as ADC to King Edward VII.
 Charles Balfour's son Charles Barrington Balfour became an army officer and an MP. One of his sons was knighted for his work as a diplomat
 Mary's son Henry Arthur Herbert, was MP for Kerry from 1866 to 1880
 Two of Anna's sons became Dukes of Grafton

As with many other estate houses in Scotland, Balfour family ownership of Whittingehame House ended in the 20th century. Arthur and Gerald lost a lot of money in a series of poor investments, particularly in their efforts to develop peat processing as a green alternative to coal-mining.
In the 1930s, death duties forced the mothballing of the house and sale of its contents. The building was leased for various purposes before being sold in 1963 to become a residential school,
and has since been converted into apartments.
The older Whittingehame Tower has been restored and remains the residence of the Earls of Balfour, descendants of James Balfour.

title: Frederick Tees

text:
Frederick "Freddie" Tees (16 June 1922 – 15 March 1982) was a member of No. 617 Squadron of the Royal Air Force who took part in Operation Chastise, the "Dambusters" raid of 1943, as a rear gunner. The raid was the inspiration for the 1955 film The Dam Busters. He ended his days as a barber in Letchworth.

Early life
"Freddie" Tees was born in Chichester on 16 June 1922, the son of Henry Tees (1878–1944) and Elizabeth Gertrude Ayling (1885–1944).

Second World War

During the Second World War, Tees joined the Royal Air Force in 1941 with the service number 1332270. Tees was posted to No. 207 Squadron on 12 November 1942, before transferring to No. 617 Squadron on 6 April 1943. This squadron was created specifically to attack the Möhne and Edersee Dams using a specially developed "bouncing bomb" which was invented and developed by Barnes Wallis.

Tees took part in Operation Chastise, the famous "Dam Busters" raid on 16–17 May 1943. Sergeant Tees, who was 20 years old at the time of the raid, was the rear gunner in Lancaster AJ-C, piloted by Pilot Officer Warner Ottley, in the third and final wave of aircraft from No. 617 Squadron to leave from RAF Scampton. AJ-C never made it to its target and was shot down near Hamm. Tees should have been the nose gunner but had changed places with Sergeant Harry Strange in the rear turret. Had he not done so Tees would have been killed as the aircraft was picked out by enemy spotlights and hit with antiaircraft fire Tees later recalled that as the aircraft began to rapidly descend, Pilot Officer Ottley said over the intercom "I'm sorry boys, they got us". The aircraft then crashed.

Tees managed to escape from the rear turret and was found unconscious and badly burnt on the ground and was taken prisoner of war. He was the sole survivor from the crew of seven. He required extensive treatment and was imprisoned at Heydekruge POW Camp L6 for most of the war.

Later life
In 1967 he took part in the Dam Busters reunion held on the 24th anniversary of the raid at Scampton in Lincolnshire.

Later in life Tees lived at 12 Wilbury Hills Road Caravan Site and ran a gentlemen's barber shop in Station Road in Letchworth, Hertfordshire. He committed suicide on 15 March 1982.

title: Saint Gregory the Great Parish Church (Majayjay)

text:
The San Gregorio Magno Parish  (Filipino: Simbahan ng Parokya ni San Gregorio Magno; Spanish: Iglesia Parroquial de San Gregorio Magno), also known as Majayjay Church and St. Gregory the Great Parish Church, is one of the oldest Roman Catholic churches in the Philippines located in the municipality of Majayjay in Laguna. It is recognized by the National Museum as a National Cultural Treasure (Level 1).

History
Majayjay served as the site of early Catholicism in Laguna. The Augustinians first came in 1568. Along with five Augustinian priests and Juan de Salcedo, nephew of Miguel López de Legazpi, they started to evangelize the sceptical townsmen led by Gat Yantok. In 1571, the Franciscans established a mission town with Don Gaspar Osorio, Agustín Osorio, Juan Osorio, Juan de Mendoza, Ventura Mag-olop, Aman Lingasan and Martín Siasip. The first church was constructed by locals in 1575 near the May-it river and was made of nipa and bamboo and was later burned in 1576. In 1578, Franciscans Juan de Plasencia and  Diego Oropesa started to evangelize the town. A church, still of nipa  and bamboo, was built that same year under the patronage of Saint Gregory the Great. Due to the lack of religious men, the first parish priest of Majajay, Antonio Nombela was only assigned in 1594. Under his pastorship, a long robe worn by wives to the church, called lambón was first used in the Philippines. In 1599, the Superior Gobierno authorized the construction of a stone church. While awaiting its construction, the makeshift church was burned in 1606. Majayjay also served as infirmary for the old religious men until 1606 before it was transferred to Lumban. Construction of the stone church began in 1616 and was completed in 1649 with the help of Maestro de Campo Don Buenaventura de Mendoza. The church was again partially burned in 1660. Rehabilitation started in 1711 and finished in 1730 by 14,000 people on forced labor and a rehabilitation cost of $26,000 by Jose de Puertollano. Instead of rebuilding the church, Puertollano decided to sandwich the ruins between two layers of brick resulting in an unusual wall thickness of . It took 19 years for the people of Majayjay to complete the church which was made of volcanic tuff with red tiles and prime lumber. On completion in 1730, the church became the biggest in the Philippines

A century later, the stone church was destroyed by typhoon and was repaired in 1839, 1842 and 1848. The roof was replaced with galvanized iron in 1892 under the supervision of Gregorio Platero. During the American occupation, the church served as headquarters of the American army. Due to damage brought about by the Spanish and American revolution, the church was again repaired in 1912.

In 1954, the church was placed under the government's rehabilitation program with the help of the National Conservation Society of the Philippines. In 2001, it was declared as a National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum.

Features
The Romanesque church of Majayjay is  long,  wide and  meters high. Its façade has three levels, each level scaled proportionally and topped by a triangular pediment with a circular window. The central nave consists of a huge wooden door of the main portal, choir loft windows and saint's niche. The interior contains a retablo mayor and four other minor retablos with intricate designs. The floor is tiled with azulejo and the walls have been preserved with some alterations. The five-storey square belltower with a conical roof and ballustrated windows on each polygonal level is connected to the langit-langitan, a cat-walk above the ceiling which leads to the crossing over the transept. The belfry has arched windows each with a bell trimmed with finials and a large antique bell on top. It also has a large side door on the right side of the church.

Today, the church contains antique images of santos, reliquaries and century-old liturgical objects.

Convent
The huge convent (also convento) of the church, which provides a good view of Laguna de Bay, is one of the best preserved convento in the country and is the earliest surviving example of its kind. It houses a small museum of old parish documents and ecclesiastical silver. A small portion of the church was converted into the present-day Liceo de Majayjay, a Catholic school under the supervision of the local parish and the Diocesan Catholic School System of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Pablo.

Chapel of Nuestra Señora de la Porteria

The chapel of Nuestra Señora de la Porteria (Our Lady of the Gate) also known as the Ermita chapel was originally constructed as a tribunal during the Spanish period. The image of the Nuestra Señora de la Porteria, which was brought to Majayjay by Spanish missionaries in 1759, was enshrined in the former court building in 1760.

Early life

Torstein Dale Sjøtveit was born in Miland, a small village 12 km outside the small industrial town of Rjukan, in Norway. His interest in industrial development can be attributed to the transformative impact of hydropower upon his hometown of Rjukan, turning it from a remote rural area located in a narrow valley just under Gaustatoppen – one of Norway's highest mountains – to an important industrial town and a famous Norwegian tourist destination.

Torstein attended the Finance and Administration College at Rjukan from 1972-73. He then went for training at the Technical College for Civil Engineering at Porsgrunn from 1976–78 and the Technical College in Civil Engineering at Stavanger from 1978-79.

Career

Early career

After working in the contracting industry from late 1979, Torstein entered the energy sector in May 1981, joining Norwegian industrial conglomerate Norsk Hydro, where he served for 27 years. During his tenure at Norsk Hydro, he was promoted to senior positions across the company's operations in Oil and Gas and later in the aluminium business areas. The positions included the Vice President of the Angola Business Unit, living in West Africa, from 1995-2001, Senior Vice President for Exploration and Development Norway and held SVP positions in other businesses as well as in Norsk Hydro's aluminium area.

In 2005 he was appointed Head of Aluminium Metal at Norsk Hydro, where he led 5,000 employees in upstream aluminium operations – bauxite, alumina, aluminium smelters and cast houses, with 30 plants across 13 countries. From 2006 to 2008 he was also a member of the Corporate Management Board of Norsk Hydro as Executive Vice President, heading the upstream aluminium segment.

In August 2008 Torstein left Norsk Hydro to take up the position of President and CEO of Europe's biggest shipbuilding group, Aker Yards ASA, with 15,000 employees and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. During his service at Aker Yards ASA, the company was fully acquired by the Korean Shipbuilding group STX. He left the company after it was delisted and fully integrated into the STX Groups of companies.

Sarawak Energy
Under Torstein's leadership, Sarawak Energy has taken an active approach on the management of social and environmental aspects, positioning itself as a responsible corporate citizen.

Sarawak Energy became a sustainability partner with the International Hydropower Association in 2011. Sarawak Energy is being guided by the IHA Sustainability Protocol in implementing the hydropower development projects. Sarawak Energy also hosted the World Congress for Advancing Sustainable Hydropower in Kuching in May 2013.

Torstein has fostered a company direction where CSR initiatives are placed at centre stage, focusing on the capacity of hydropower to secure socio-economic development for the remote communities of Sarawak.

The ongoing Penan literacy programme provides basic reading, writing and numeracy skills for close to 500 people in the six Penan indigenous communities in Murum. With support from rural communities, besides literacy and numeracy, the programme has focused on new ways of thinking to improve living conditions, including health, hygiene, nutrition and gardening. The program endeavours to help the communities make the most of new opportunities arising through the community's resettlement programme.

Besides learning new skills, the program has been successful in providing key motivation to the community, with a strong focus on the importance of education. Its support is reflected by the enrollment of 280 students at the two new primary schools, SK Metalun and SK Tegulang in 2014.

Ongoing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts have been rolled out to support the communities to play an inclusive role in the development of their new homes and communities.  These CSR initiatives include the provision of amenities ranging from clean water, electricity supply, transportation, facilities for education and religious worship.  SEB have also announced softer CSR schemes, including training programs on household management, agricultural skills as well as development of traditional handicrafts – all of which are being implemented to help improve household income and the economic and social advancement within the communities.

title: Sandbjerg

text:
Sandbjerg is a former estate and manor house  north of Sønderborg in the southeast of Jutland, Denmark. The estate dates from 1571, but today's house was built in 1788. Since 1959, the estate has been used by Aarhus University for teaching and research. Today it is the university's conference centre.

History
Sandbjerg is mentioned for the first time around 1500. In 1564, King Frederick II transferred a third of his properties, including Sandbjerg, to his brother John II, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg. It remained in the hands of the House of Sonderburg until Christian Adolf's bankruptcy in 1667, when it was returned to the Crown. In 1668 it was sold to the statesman Conrad Reventlow, who established the fiefdom of Reventlow-Sandbjerg. In 1788, Conrad Georg Reventlow (1749–1815) commissioned Christian August Bohlsmann to build a mansion overlooking the Alssund on the east side of Mølle Sø. The park and the tenancy buildings and the mansion now form the Sandbjerg Estate. After retiring from the navy in 1795, Reventlow spent extended periods at Sandbjerg where he enjoyed good food and drink prepared by his French chef, Charles Maton. Among his guests were the poets Jens Baggesen and Adam Oehlenschläger.

In the 1850s, General Frederk Bülow who was victorious at the Battle of Fredericia in 1849, spent several summers on the estate, where he died in 1858. The last of the Reventlows died in 1929. In 1930 the estate was sold to Knud Dahl, a lawyer, and his wife Ellen, Karen Blixen's sister. After her husband died 1945, Ellen Dahl opened the residence to cultural and scientific figures and, in 1954, gave it to Aarhus University. On her death in 1959, the university took full possession of the estate.

Mansion
The two-storey Rococo mansion completed in 1788 is a listed building. With a lesene-decorated facade and tall hipped roof, its rooms include a library, dining room and conservatory and three historic bedrooms.

History
The Ancient Makulana Rajamaha Viharaya is located in Mawathagama.According to Buddhist annals, Trapusa and Bahalika, the two merchants who met Buddha just after attaining enlightenment and who offered their first meal were given some hair by Buddha. The two merchants arrived in Sri Lanka and part of their holy relics were given to a merchant friend called  ‘Kanaka’ who took it to his Keppetipola village. There he offered this relic to a regional king called Bimba who had built this Stupa enshrining this holy relic. Based on this information, this stupa would have first been built around 589 BC even though it's unlikely what you see today is the same stupa. The current temple is believed to have been built during the reign of King Parakramabahu IV of Dambadeniya in the 14th century. On one side of the stupa is a large ancient rock inscription that is now mostly faded even though the images of animals can still be seen.

During World War 2 Northern Mawathagama was used as an Airport. Its' most important reason for the construction was the arrival of Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma to Kandy.

title: Charles Neate

text:
Charles Neate (1806–1879) was an English politician and academic, economist and political writer.

Life
He was the fifth of the eleven children of Thomas Neate, rector and squire of Alvescot, Oxfordshire, and his wife Catherine, born at Adstock, Buckinghamshire, on 18 June 1806. He was sent to the Collège Bourbon in Paris, where Sainte-Beuve was one of his school-fellows, and he won a prize for French composition for all the schools of France.

Neate matriculated as a commoner of Lincoln College, Oxford, on 2 June 1824, aged 17; he was scholar 1826–8, and graduated as a first-class man in 1828. The same year he was elected fellow of Oriel College. He was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1832, but a quarrel with Sir Richard Bethell terminated his career there. He acted as secretary to Sir Francis Thornhill Baring, when Baring was chancellor of the exchequer (1839–41).

In 1857 Neate was appointed Drummond professor of political economy at Oxford, for a five-year term. He was also examiner in the School of Law and History at Oxford in 1853–5, and was appointed lecturer on the same subjects at Oriel in 1856. He was also elected Liberal Member of Parliament for , but was, however, a few months later unseated for bribery. His second election was to the parliament which sat from 1863 to 1868; and then he did not seek re-election.

After 1868 Neate lived in Oxford. He died senior fellow of his college on 7 February 1879, and was buried at Adstock. He was considered fearlessly honest and outspoken, and one of his remembered sayings was "Wherever I look I see only brilliant political sunsets."

text:
Rebbe: The Life and Teachings of Menachem M. Schneerson, the Most Influential Rabbi in Modern History is a biography of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson authored by Joseph Telushkin and published in 2014.

About the book
When asked why he chose to write this book, Telushkin said "I can think of no other rabbi who is as familiar to Jews in Israel, the United States, the former Soviet Union, and France. The four most populous Jewish communities in the world today. So it certainly seemed that this was a man whose life deserved to be studied in depth."

The biography offers a captivating portrait of the late Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, who made Chabad-Lubavitch one of the most dynamic and widespread Jewish organizations. Rebbe helps readers to understand one of the most intriguing and influential rabbis of the last centuries. Rebbe was an advisor to Statesmen and artists including Ronald Reagan, Robert F. Kennedy, Yitzchak Rabin, Menachem Begin, Elie Wiesel, and Bob Dylan and at times helped to shape matters of state and society. As a global ambassador for Jews, and through his rescue and aide efforts, he was viewed as a savior by many.

Critical reception
In regards to positive reviews, the book received a few from The Wall Street Journal,  NY1, The Forward,  and Booklist.

title: Assisi Hospice

Assisi Hospice is a hospice in Singapore which provides palliative care to terminally ill patients.

History

Founded in 1969 by the Catholic order Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood as Assisi Home for the poor and sick, and was reconstituted as Assisi Hospice in 2007. It is owned and run by the Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood.

The Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood (FMDM) Sisters have a long tradition of providing healthcare. In 1949, the local government invited a small group of FMDM Sisters for a nursing post in the Tuberculosis Section of Tan Tock Seng Hospital in Singapore. The Sisters were also nursing leprosy patients at the Trafalgar Home and staffing the School of Nursing there.

Anticipating their services would no longer be needed after Singapore's recovery from the Japanese Occupation, the Sisters saved their hard earned salaries to build up a fund for the eventual building of a private Catholic hospital. These 10 years savings were augmented by generous donations from both companies and individuals.

On 4 March 1961, Mount Alvernia Hospital was officially opened. In 1969, donations from the late Mr Khoo Teck Puat saw the building of an extension of Mount Alvernia Hospital. The beds in this block are for chronically ill patients.

In 1986, the Khoo block started accepting respite patients. The building eventually became known as Assisi Home. Assisi Home derived its name from the birthplace of Saint Francis, the Founder of the Franciscan Movement.

In March 1988, the Congregation of the Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood expanded into the area of Hospice Care. Hence Assisi began to admit only cancer patients requiring respite and hospice care. In 1992, the Sisters vacated their convent and refurbished it into a new hospice.

Assisi Home & Hospice was officially opened in April 1993 by the then President of Singapore, the late Mr Wee Kim Wee.

In 1993, Assisi discontinued the admission of patients for long-term care and focused on hospice care for the terminally ill cancer patients. Assisi Home & Hospice was changed to Assisi Hospice as a statement of our steadfast commitment to this mission.

A centre for compassionate and personalised palliative care, Assisi Hospice has also admitted patients with non-cancer diagnoses as it recognise the significant suffering even among those with other life limiting illnesses. This is consistent with its core values to serve all adults and children who need of palliative and hospice care.

Facilities and services

Assisi Hospice provides in-patient hospice care, day-care facilities, and home care support. In 2011, it cared for 444 in-patients, 101-day-care patients, and 675 home-care patients, the vast majority of whom were from public hospitals.

As of 2012, Assisi Hospice had a capacity of 37 beds and 90 staff, of which five were full-time doctors trained in palliative care. It also had 570 volunteers in its database.

New building

The current building occupied by Assisi hospice used to be a convent belonging to the Franciscan Missionaries of the Divine Motherhood nuns.

in 2012, after an open tender and design competition held to appoint a team of Multi-Disciplinary Team of Consultants. The final team, led by architect and lead consultant New Space Architects Private Limited, was appointed after a rigorous selection process.

Assisi Hospice moved to its new premises in January 2017. Sited next to its current building and costing SGD 70 million, the new six-storey building will be able to serve more than 2,000 patients a year, double the 1,000 patients it has been serving. There are now 85 beds, up from 37.  Its groundbreaking ceremony was held on 29 July 2013.

On 30 November 2013, philanthropist Khoo Bee See, daughter of the late banker-philanthropist Khoo Teck Puat, pledged SGD 1 million to Assisi Hospice, one of the largest by an individual to the hospice.

Beds

The six-storey building spread over 5,515 sq m of land will have 48 single rooms, with the rest being two- or four-bed rooms.

Dementia & Paediatric Wards

The new hospice will also have a specialised 16-bed ward for dementia patients and a dedicated paediatric palliative care ward, both of which will be the first of their kind in Singapore.

The dementia-friendly palliative care ward will have a 'closed loop' leading to and from the ward through a bridge and sensory garden to prevent patients from wandering out of the ward.

The paediatric ward will have child-friendly features, as well as a playground and garden.  The hospice will offer play therapy and art therapy.

Daycare Centre

The new hospice will also have a larger daycare centre, which will be able to serve 50 patients, 20 more than it currently does.

Ambulatory Treatment Unit

The new hospice will also offer an ambulatory (or walking) treatment unit which will render urgent medical help for patients who do not need to be admitted as an in-patient.

Family-Friendly Features

The new hospice will have a chapel, a labyrinth for meditative walks, a "kopitiam"-type dining area for patients and their families, and two family rooms where families of patients can stay the night.

Training & Education

A Centre for Palliative Care Education and Therapy will be established in the new building to train health-care professionals and volunteers in palliative care. This will include a centre for grief and bereavement education, which will carry out training as well as public awareness programmes.

Staffing

The hospice will increase its number of home palliative care teams from three to five to help 500 more patients. It will also increase its number of staff to 250, including 12 full-time doctors.

title: Roccaverano goat

text:
The Roccaverano is an indigenous breed of large domestic goat from the Langhe, in the provinces of Asti and Cuneo, in Piemonte in north-western Italy. It is raised mainly in the Langa Astigiana, mostly within the Comunità montana Langa Astigiana Val Bormida, and is named for the town and comune of Roccaverano in that area. The origins of the breed are unknown.

The Roccaverano is one of the forty-three autochthonous Italian goat breeds of limited distribution for which a herdbook is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders. At the end of 2013 the registered population was variously reported as  and as .

Use

The milk yield of the Roccaverano per lactation of about 240 days is  litres for primiparous,  litres for secondiparous, and  litres for pluriparous, nannies. The milk averages 3.30% fat and 3.05% protein, and is all used to make robiola, either Robiola di Roccaverano, made with a mixture of cow's milk, goat's milk and sheep's milk, which has DOP status; or the pure goat's-milk Robiola di Roccaverano pura caprina.

Kids 30–45 days old and weighing  are slaughtered at Easter time.

Early life

He was recruited by the Sydney Swans with the 15th overall selection in the 2013 national draft.

AFL Career

Sydney Swans
He made his senior debut against , at the MCG in round 14 of the 2014 AFL season.

In 2016, he was able to overcome an ankle injury and a severe concussion through the season, and was selected to play in the 2016 AFL Grand Final, cementing himself a spot in the team.

Coming out of contract at the end of the 2019 season, Jones requested a trade to . Swans CEO Tom Harley said of Jones "everyone knows within footy circles he comes from a really strong and tight family and his desire to return to Victoria is to be closer to his family. St Kilda is the club that has expressed interest and Zak has let us know that, he has been really transparent about that...We actually had some challenges in re-signing him last time so this wasn’t totally unexpected."  At the conclusion of the 2019 AFL season, Jones and pick 56 was traded to  for pick 32, 76 and a 2020 3rd Round pick.

St Kilda FC
Jones made his St Kilda debut in Round 1 of the 2020 AFL Season against North Melbourne. Jones was one of the best-on-ground in the Saints' round two win over the Western Bulldogs, collecting 29 disposals and a goal in a match with shortened 16-minute quarters. Jones left the field early in the Saints' Round 4 win against Richmond, and missed the Round 5 win against Carlton as a result. Jones eventually managed 16 of a possible 19 games (including two finals for nine wins and seven losses) in his first year at the Saints, finishing sixth in the Trevor Barker Award.

Jones suffered a hamstring injury in the 2021 pre-season and did not participate in the Saints' pre-season matches. Jones had a career best game in round seven against Hawthorn, winning the Silk-Miller Memorial Medal in the Blue Ribbon Cup game and collecting 37 disposals, two goals, six tackles, eight marks and had 13 score involvements. The following week, against Gold Coast, Jones had 31 disposals and laid seven tackles to be amongst the Saints' best in their round eight win. In mid-May, Jones ruptured his right quad at training ahead of round nine. He underwent surgery and was unavailable for selection for approximately eight weeks. Despite the injuries, Jones returned immediately to the side Round 17 and having a big impact, collecting twenty-six disposals (13 contested) and a game-high 10 clearances from just over 60 percent game-time. Jones ultimately played seven consecutive games to see out the season, including a prolific 32-disposal game against West Coast and a strong 30 disposal game against Carlton. Of his return to the side despite injury, teammate Seb Ross stated that "every time Jonesy’s had an injury, he’s basically nearly returned straight into the AFL team off just the work he’s been able to do in rehab. You don’t see that too often. The way he attacks his rehab and prepares his mind and body to be able to come straight in and not look out of place with his run and drive is a real credit to his professionalism."

title: Onychium japonicum

text:
Onychium japonicum is a species of fern in the family Pteridaceae.

Taxonomy
The species was first described in 1784 by Carl Peter Thunberg as Trichomanes japonicum. In 1825, Blume used the name "Onychium" for a genus of orchids, but this was illegitimate since it had been used in 1820 for the fern genus. Blume also used the combination "Onychium japonicum" for an orchid (now Dendrobium moniliforme). In 1848,  Kunze transferred Trichomanes japonicum to the fern genus Onychium as Onychium japonicum. The name Onychium japonicum (Thunb.) Kunze is conserved against Onychium japonicum Blume.
