title: Paolo Di Vecchia

text:
Paolo Di Vecchia (born October 29, 1942, in Terracina) is an Italian theoretical physicist who works in the field of elementary particle physics, quantum field theory and string theory.

Life
Di Vecchia graduated from the University of Rome with Bruno Touschek in 1966. As a post-doctoral researcher, he worked at the Nuclear Research Center in Frascati (where a permanent position was offered to him) and spent two years at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and CERN.

In 1974 he became Assistant Professor at the NORDITA in Copenhagen. In 1978 he came back for a year at CERN. In 1979 he became a professor at the Free University of Berlin and from 1980 to 1986 he taught at the Bergische Universität Wuppertal. Sine 1986 he has been a professor at NORDITA. Since NORDITA moved to Stockholm he spent half of the time there and half of the time at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen.

Work
In the 1970s Di Vecchia was one of the pioneers of string theory. Among other things, he formulated with Lars Brink and others the locally supersymmetric Lagrangian for fermionic strings (i.e. those with fermionic excitations, half-integer spin). Previously, the Nambu-Goto action had been known for the bosonic string and different groups tried to construct a fermionic action.

In 1972, along with Emilio Del Giudice and Sergio Fubini, he introduced the "DDF states" scheme (also known as the "DDF construction"), which is named by the initials of the three scientists.

Along with Stanley Deser and Bruno Zumino he formulated string theory as a two-dimensional analogue of the general theory of relativity.

Afterwards, he turned his investigations to instantons in quantum field theory and other. He returned to string theory in 1981 with the publication of the works by Alexander Polyakov who used the effect of Di Vecchia and colleagues for the quantization of strings, then known as the Polyakov action.

In the 2000s he focused on the expansion of the AdS/CFT correspondence to low supersymmetric and non-conformal gauge theories, the construction of four-dimensional effective Lagrangians for lower energies from the compactification of magnetised D-brane models, and the high-energy scattering of closed strings in the framework of the theory of D-branes.

Since 1994, he has been organizing Scandinavian conferences for string theory at NORDITA.

In 2003 he became a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters.

title: Pyang Zhuang language

text:
Pyang Zhuang, or Fuping Zhuang (), is an underdescribed Central Tai language spoken in southwestern Guangxi, China. It appears to be most closely related to Nong Zhuang.

The Pyang refer to themselves as B2 or C1-A, but are referred to as C1 by the surrounding Yang Zhuang people (Liao 2016:315).

Distribution
Pyang Zhuang is spoken in the following locations of Guangxi, China (Liao 2016:315-316).
Fuping Village 扶平村, Jingde Town 敬德镇, Debao County, Guangxi
Tuoxin 驮信村 ( in Pyang Zhuang)
Ronghua Township 荣华乡, Debao County, Guangxi
Kuixu Township 魁圩乡, Jingxi County, Guangxi

Classification
Pyang Zhuang may be closely related to the Nong Zhuang language of Yunnan. Innovations shared between Pyang Zhuang and Nong Zhuang include the following (Liao 2016:316).

Proto-Tai *kr- > tɕʰ- (as opposed to *kr- > kʰj- in Yang Zhuang, and *kr- > h- in Southwestern Tai). Examples include tɕʰaːA1-A 'to seek' and tɕʰɔkDS1-A 'six'.
hɔkDS1-A 'to do' is only found in Pyang Zhuang and Nong Zhuang (as opposed to hatDS1-A 'to do' in Yang Zhuang, and hetDS1-A 'to do' in Zuojiang Zhuang and Isan).

title: Gottfried Ephraim Scheibel

text:
Gottfried Ephraim Scheibel (1696–1759) was a German theologian and writer about music.

Scheibel studied theology in Leipzig and from 1736 taught at the Elizabeth-Gymnasium in his home town of Breslau.

Scheibel's most famous treatise, Zufällige Gedancken von der Kirchenmusic (Random Thoughts about Church Music), was published in 1721.  It presents a strong defense of the role of music in the Lutheran Church service, in particular music derived from opera. By way of example, he demonstrates the use of the parody technique—replacing secular texts with sacred ones, while keeping the music the same—using the music of Georg Philipp Telemann.

title: Cetotheriopsis

text:
Cetotheriopsis  is a genus of extinct cetaceans of the family Cetotheriopsidae.

Taxonomy
The type species of this genus, C. lintianus, was originally described as a species of Balaenodon (a genus of extinct sperm whale) by German paleontologist Hermann von Meyer. It was eventually recognized as distinct from the type species of Balaenodon, and it was given the new generic name Stenodon. However, it was later renamed Cetotheriopsis because Stenodon had already been used for a gastropod by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque in 1818. For his part, Pierre-Joseph van Beneden coined Aulocetus as a replacement name for Stenodon, unaware of the earlier replacement name. Since Cetotheriopsis has priority over Aulocetus and both were based on the same type species, Aulocetus is a junior objective synonym of Cetotheriopsis.

Misassigned species
Aulocetus sammarinensis was formerly assigned to this genus, but is now recognized as a distinct genus, Titanocetus. Two other species from Italy assigned to Cetotheriopsis, Aulocetus lovisati and A. calaritanus, are also generically distinct and in need of new generic names.

Aulocetus latus, known from a Tortonian-age formation in Portugal, is in need of the new generic name.

title: Chiropractic professional ethics

text:
Various organizations of practicing chiropractors have outlined formal codes of professional ethics. Actual practice has revealed a wide range of behaviors which may or may not conform to these standards, outlined in The Chiropractic Oath.

Official positions

The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) has a "Code of Ethics" "based upon the acknowledgement that the social contract dictates the profession’s responsibilities to the patient, the public, and the profession; and upholds the fundamental principle that the paramount purpose of the chiropractic doctor's professional services shall be to benefit the patient." The smaller International Chiropractor's Association (ICA) also has a detailed set of professional canons.

Reports of actual practice

Various situations have occurred in which the ethics of chiropractors and chiropractic organizations have been called into question.

A 2008 commentary proposed that the chiropractic profession actively regulate itself to combat abuse, fraud, and quackery, which are more prevalent in chiropractic than in other health care professions, violating the social contract between patients and physicians.

Gleberzon et al. identify "deliberate fraud" as a notably harmful element of the chiropractic profession, finding that dubious practice techniques can translate into "outlandish billing and utilization rates". Those at the "fringe of ethical behavior" present the profession with a challenge, they believe, and must be weeded out.

A study of California disciplinary statistics during 1997–2000 reported 4.5 disciplinary actions per 1000 chiropractors per year, compared to 2.27 for medical doctors, and the incident rate for fraud was nine times greater among chiropractors (1.99 per 1000 chiropractors per year) than among medical doctors (0.20). According to a 2006 Gallup poll of U.S. adults, when asked how they would "rate the honesty and ethical standards of people in these different fields", chiropractic compared unfavorably with mainstream medicine. When chiropractic was rated, it "rated dead last amongst healthcare professions". While 84% of respondents considered nurses' ethics "very high" or "high," only 36% felt that way about chiropractors. Other healthcare professions ranged from 38% for psychiatrists, to 62% for dentists, 69% for medical doctors, 71% for veterinarians, and 73% for druggists or pharmacists. Similar results were found in the 2003 Gallup Poll.

In 2001, the largest chiropractic associations in the U.S. and Canada were reported to have distributed patient brochures which contained unsubstantiated claims. Chiropractors, especially in America, have a reputation for unnecessarily treating patients. In many circumstances the focus seems to be put on economics instead of health care. Sustained chiropractic care is promoted as a preventative tool, but unnecessary manipulation could possibly present a risk to patients. Some chiropractors are concerned by the routine unjustified claims chiropractors have made. A 2010 analysis of chiropractic websites found the majority of chiropractors and their associations made claims of effectiveness not supported by scientific evidence, while 28% of chiropractic websites advocate lower back pain care, which has some sound evidence.

Although in the vast majority of US States chiropractors are considered physicians pursuant to statute (exceptions are inter alia, New York and California). The Joint Commission recognizes chiropractors as physicians as well. In some jurisdictions, like New Zealand, chiropractors appeared to have used the title 'doctor' in a New Zealand yellow pages telephone directory in a way that implied they are registered medical practitioners, when no evidence was presented it was true. In New Zealand, chiropractors are allowed to use the title 'doctor' when it is qualified to show that the title refers to their chiropractic role. A representative from the NZ Chiropractic Board states that entries in the yellow pages under the heading of 'Chiropractors' fulfills this obligation when suitably qualified. If a chiropractor is not a registered medical practitioner, then the misuse of the title 'doctor' while working in healthcare will not comply with the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003.

UK chiropractic organizations and their members make numerous claims which are not supported by scientific evidence. Many chiropractors adhere to ideas which are against science and most seemingly violate important principles of ethical behaviour on a regular basis. The advice chiropractors gave to their patients is often misleading and dangerous.  In 2009, a backlash to the libel suit filed by the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) against Simon Singh, has inspired the filing of formal complaints of false advertising against more than 500 individual chiropractors within one 24-hour period, prompting the McTimoney Chiropractic Association to write to its members advising them to remove leaflets that make claims about whiplash and colic from their practice, to be wary of new patients and telephone inquiries, and telling their members: "If you have a website, take it down NOW." and "Finally, we strongly suggest you do NOT discuss this with others, especially patients." An editorial in Nature has suggested that the BCA may be trying to suppress debate and that this use of British libel law is a burden on the right to freedom of expression, which is protected by the European Convention on Human Rights. The libel case ended with the BCA withdrawing its suit in 2010.

title: Maria Margaretha la Fargue

text:
Maria Margaretha la Fargue (1738–1813), was an 18th-century painter from the Northern Netherlands.

La Fargue was born as the daughter of the notary and orangist pamphletist Jean Thomas la Fargue (c. 1700–1774) and Charlotte Constantia van Nieuwland (1703–1785). Her father was a fleeing Huguenot. She had four older brothers. She learned to draw and paint from her brothers Paulus Constantijn la Fargue (1729–1782) and Jacob Elias la Fargue (1735–1776?), who were probably autodidacts. Maria la Fargue is best known for her cityscapes, genre paintings and prints.

Together with her brothers she worked in a family studio where they produced prints and illustrations for books. For example, she made prints for the Haagsche princelyke and koninglyke almanach of 1788. After the studio went bankrupt, La Fargue started giving drawing lessons. However, it became more and more difficult for her to make ends meet, until she became dependent on the dispensation of the Church. She died at the age of 75 in the hospital and refugee home on the Lange Beestenmarkt.

title: John Bunzow

text:
John Bunzow (born May 2, 1951) is an American country music singer-songwriter. Bunzow was signed to Liberty Records and charted one single on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.

Career
Bunzow was signed to Liberty Records (which was then the name of the Nashville subsidiary of Capitol Records) and released his debut single, "Easy as One, Two, Three", in 1995. Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave the song a favorable review, writing that "Bunzow plays it simple, but keeps things interesting by throwing in some nifty chord-change curves." It peaked at number 69 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. Liberty planned to release Bunzow's album, Stories of the Years, on May 23, 1995. Pemberton Roach of AllMusic gave the album three stars out of five, calling it "a refreshingly direct, no-nonsense country record that had more in common with Steve Earle's best work than with any dance-club pretty boys." Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly gave the album an A grade, writing that Bunzow blends "an amiable tenor with economy of language and the minimalistic production of Dwight Yoakam collaborator Pete Anderson." After Jimmy Bowen left Liberty Records in March 1995 and the label returned to its Capitol Nashville name, the album was shelved and Bunzow was dropped.

Bunzow continued writing and performing. A compilation of material Bunzow wrote for publishing companies in Nashville, Off the Shelf, was released by ZoDog Records in 2000. In 2002, Bunzow recorded an album, Darkness and Light, which was released by independent label Sideburn Records. Bob Gottlieb of AllMusic gave the album four stars out of five, calling it "a strong disc that rips into each new song with a strong ferocity that brings the song home." Bunzow also released a live album, Alive at O'Connor's, in 2004.

Little England () is a 2013 Greek period romantic drama film directed by Pantelis Voulgaris. Based on the novel of the same name by Ioanna Karystiani (Voulgaris' wife) who also wrote the screenplay, it features an ensemble cast starring Pinelopi Tsilika, Sofia Kokkali, Aneza Papadopoulou and Andreas Konstantinou. The plot revolves around two sisters, Orsa and Moscha from the island of Andros, dubbed Little England because of its affluence, who are both in love with Spyros; it starts in the interwar period and ends in the 1950s.

The film achieved commercial success in Greece, as it was the second-highest-grossing film of 2013 and the first among Greek films. Little England also met critical success domestically and abroad. It was nominated for thirteen Hellenic Film Academy Awards and won six, including the award for Best Film. Internationally, it dominated at the 2014 Shanghai International Film Festival, winning three Golden Goblet Awards for Best Feature Film, Best Director and Best Actress, and it is also nominated for a Satellite Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Little England was submitted by Greece for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, but it was not nominated.

Plot
The action takes place on the island of Andros, where Orsa, 20 years old, and her younger sister, Moscha, live. Orsa is deeply in love with Spyros Maltabes, a lieutenant, but she has never revealed her secret to anybody. On the other hand, Moscha dreams of leaving Andros and escaping women's fate of marrying sailors, who are usually away from their families. Their mother, Mina, married to a captain, considers love a trouble and, overriding their emotions, wants her daughters to make wealthy marriages. As a result, Orsa marries captain Nikos Vatokouzis, and Moscha to Spyros Maltabes, a captain now with whom her sister is in love. The two women live in the family's duplex home and the forbidden love will harm their lives.

title: M7 (Istanbul Metro)

text:
The M7, officially referred to as the M7 Yıldız–Mahmutbey metro line () is a rapid transit line of the Istanbul Metro system on the European part of Istanbul, Turkey. It is colored light pink on the maps and route signs. It is the first driverless rapid transit line of the European side of Istanbul.

On 20 December 20, 2013, the line was commissioned to Kalyon Group for construction. The groundbreaking ceremony was held on 9 February 2014. The line is  long with 17 stations.

The line is divided into three phases. Currently, it is partly in service. The section between Mecidiyeköy and Mahmutbey was inaugurated on 28 October 2020. The Mecidiyeköy - Kabataş and Mahmutbey -  Esenyurt Meydan phases are still under construction, and there is also a planned  extension between the stations Esenyurt Meydan - Saadetdere.

When fully completed, The M7-line will be connecting twelve districts of the Istanbul metropolitan area, namely Beyoğlu, Beşiktaş, Şişli, Kağıthane, Eyüp, Gaziosmanpaşa, Esenler, Bağcılar, Küçükçekmece, Avcılar, Başakşehir and Esenyurt.  It is projected that 300 cars of driverless metro trains will carry about one million passengers daily. The total travel time will be 31.5 minutes between the termini. The M7 line costs  3.7 billion (approx. US$1 billion).

It was opened on January 2, 2023 as a shuttle between Mecidiyeköy and Yıldız. When the Kabataş stage is opened, the direct line will continue to the shuttle operation place. From Mecidiyeköy, 1 platform goes to Mahmutbey direction, the other platform goes to Yıldız direction. Yıldız is the deepest station on the Istanbul Metro at 71 metres.

Trains run on the Mecidiyeköy - Mahmutbey section every 6 minutes, and on the Yıldız - Mecidiyeköy section every 12 minutes.

Stations

M7 Mecidiyeköy - Mahmutbey section

title: Genres of Piyyut

text:
Piyyut is Jewish liturgical poetry, in Hebrew or occasionally Aramaic. Since the fifth century CE, piyyutim (the plural of "piyyut") have been written in many different genres and subgenres. Most of these are defined by the function that the given poem fulfills in the context of Jewish prayer service; but a few are defined by other criteria, such as content.

Yotzer sequence—a series of poems, which adorn the blessings surrounding the morning recitation of the Shema‘. Note that the Shema‘ itself is always kept in its statutory form, and not adorned with poetry, because it is made up of passages taken straight from the Bible.
1. Guf yotzer (or just yotzer)—the first poem of the sequence, coming at the very beginning of the blessing "Yotzer Or" (on the heavenly luminaries). In a sequence written for a weekday, this is a very short poem, of one stanza, and leads straight to the conclusion of the blessing; parts 1a, 2, 3, and 4 are skipped. In a sequence written for a Sabbath or festival, this poem can be anywhere from about 12 lines to several hundred lines.
1b. Silluq le-yotzer. A "conclusion" to the guf yotzer, forming a bridge to the Qedusha in the middle of the blessing on the heavenly luminaries.
2. Ofan. A poem bridging between the first and second verses of the Qedusha.
3. Me'ora. A poem forming the bridge between the second verse of the Qedusha and the conclusion of the blessing on the luminaries.
4. Ahava. A poem leading into the conclusion of the blessing regarding God's love for the Jewish people.
(The Shema‘ itself comes here.)
5. Zulath. A poem leading from the beginning of the blessing after the Shema‘ (about the truth of the Shema‘ and God's redemption of the Israelites from Egypt) to the verse "Mi Khamokha" ("Who is like unto Thee?"), Exodus 15:11.
6. Mi Khamokha. A poem leading from the verse "Mi Khamokha" (Ex. 15:11) to the verse "Adonai Yimlokh" (Ex. 15:18).
7. Ge'ulla. A poem leading from "Adonai Yimlokh" (Ex. 15:18) to the conclusion of the benediction about the truth of the Shema‘ and the redemption from Egypt. In 9th-11th century Middle Eastern yotzer sequences, the Ge'ulla is usually split into two smaller poems, the "Adonai Malkenu" and the "Ve‘ad Matai".

Qerova—a series of piyyutim, which adorn the blessings of the ‘Amida. There are a few types of these:
Shiv‘ata: A series of seven poems, of even length, to adorn the `Amida of a Sabbath or festival. Such `Amidot have seven blessings, so there is exactly one poem per blessing. (Note that these were written only for the `amidot of Musaf, the additional service, and minha and `arvit, the afternoon and evening services; for the morning service of a Sabbath or festival, the `Amida would be adorned with a Qedushta. See below.)
Shemone `Esre: A series of eighteen poems, of even length, to adorn the `Amida of a weekday. Such `Amidot have eighteen blessings, so there is exactly one poem per blessing.
Qedushta: A series of poems adorning the first three blessings of the morning (Shaharit) `amida of a sabbath or festival. (Or Musaf of Rosh Hashana, or any of the four `amidot of the daytime of Yom Kippur. The Qedushta consists of several parts, each with their own names.
1. Magen
2. Mehayye
3. Meshallesh
4. "Piyyut 4" ("El Na")
5. "Piyyut 5"
6. Qiqlar
7. Rahit. (There may be several rahitim, in which case they are numbered 7a, 7b, 7c, et cetera.)
8. Silluq. A long piyyut, often closer to rhyming prose than to any kind of metrical poetry. The silluq, at its conclusion, leads into the first verse of Qedusha.
9: Qedusha-piyyutim. These poems, often absent from Qedushta'ot, were written to be recited between the verses of the Qedusha.
Qedushat Shiv‘ata
Qedushat Shemone `Esre

Some Shiv‘atot, almost exclusively for great festivals, have expansions:
Guf -- an expansion in the fourth blessing of a festival `amida. This is the central blessing of the festival `amida, and the only one where the theme of the blessing is the festival itself.
Dew or Rain expansion: inserted into the second blessing of the musaf `amida of the first day of Passover ("Dew", Tal, for that is when the season and liturgy change to the hot, dry season) or of Shemini `Atzereth ("Rain", Geshem, for that is when the season and liturgy change to the cold, rainy season).

Some piyyutim of the Shemone-`Esre genre, for special weekdays, have expansions:
Purim expansions
Qinot
Selihot (many later communities moved these out of the qerova, or out of the `amida entirely, and recited them in less formal liturgical contexts)

Nishmat
Azharot
`Avoda
Ketubba for Shavu‘ot

title: BreakMate

text:
The BreakMate was a three-flavor soda fountain for The Coca-Cola Company developed in the 1980s in conjunction with BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte. Its compartment held three one-liter plastic containers of syrup and a CO2 tank, which mixed the water and syrup into a 5:1 ratio, with a reservoir for water for storage if water was not accessible for the machine. Designed for offices of between 5-50 employees, the machine was deemed a commercial flop due to unforeseen complications in cost and parts. In 2007, Coca-Cola stopped supplying parts, and in 2010 the company finally stopped supplying syrup for the machines.

title: Ilwad Elman

text:
Ilwad Elman ()  is a Somali-Canadian social activist. She works at the Elman Peace and Human Rights Center in Mogadishu alongside her mother Fartuun Adan, the NGO's founder. She was voted the African Young Personality (Female) of the Year during the 2016 Africa Youth Awards.

Personal life
Ilwad was born between 1989 and 1990 in Mogadishu, Somalia. One of four daughters, she is the child of the late entrepreneur and peace activist Elman Ali Ahmed and social activist Fartuun Adan.

Her father was an ardent peace activist in the 1990s, who coined the famous mantra in Somalia "Drop the Gun, Pick up the Pen"; he was assassinated in 1996 for his human rights work and is known to this day as the Somali Father of Peace.

Ilwad returned from Canada to Somalia in 2010 whilst the conflict still raged heavily and the majority of Mogadishu and South Central Regions of Somalia were lost to the control of the Al-Qaeda linked terrorist group Al-Shabaab. She remained in Somalia ever since, alongside her mother Fartuun Adan co-founding the first rape crisis centre for survivors of sexual and gender based violence, designing interventions aimed at security sector reform to create an inclusive space for women in peace building, and developing programs for the disarmament and rehabilitation of child soldiers and adults defecting from armed groups for their socio-economic empowerment, rehabilitation and reintegration.

On November 20, 2019, local authorities confirmed her sister Almaas Elman, who had also returned to Somalia as an aid worker, had been shot and killed in a car, near the Mogadishu airport.

Career
In honour of Ahmed, his wife Fartuun Adan and their children established the Elman Peace Centre in Mogadishu. Adan serves as the NGO's Executive Director, while their daughter Ilwad works alongside her. Ilwad serves therein as Director of Programs and Development. She is responsible for designing and overseeing the Elman Peace & Human Rights Centre's programs with a broad portfolio focus on
 Human Rights
 Gender Justice
 Protection of Civilians
 Peace & Security
 Social Entrepreneurship
She also helps run Sister Somalia, a subsidiary of the Elman Peace and Human Rights Center. The country's first program for assistance of victims of gender-based violence, it provides counseling, health and housing support for women in need. Elman's work has helped raise awareness locally on the issue, and encouraged changes in government policy. She has also carried out educational workshops for vulnerable members of society, and designed and implemented projects promoting alternative livelihood opportunities for both young and old.

In mid-2012,Mogadishu held its first ever Technology, Entertainment, Design (TEDx) conference. The event was organized by the First Somali Bank to showcase improvements in business, development and security to potential Somali and international investors. Ilwad was featured as a guest speaker, where she explained the role of Sister Somalia in the country's post-conflict reconstruction process.

Opposite 76 other activists from 36 different nations in Africa, Elman in 2011 represented Somalia during the "Climb Up, Speak OUT" campaign on Mount Kilimanjaro. The event was organized by UNite Africa under UNwomen, and concluded with the participants committing to end violence against women and girls.

In 2013, Elman was also featured in the documentary Through the Fire, along with Hawa Abdi and Edna Adan Ismail. She likewise appeared in the 2014 film Live From Mogadishu, which focuses on the Mogadishu Music/Peace Festival of March 2013. Organized by the ensemble Waayaha Cusub and the philanthropist Bill Brookman, it was the first international music festival to be held in Somalia's capital in years.

Beyond her duties at Elman Peace, Ilwad is an advocate for the Kofi Annan foundation's latest initiative called Extremely Together, where she and 9 other youth leaders under the mentorship of Mr. Kofi Annan are Preventing Violent Extremism by inspiring, engaging and empowering youth globally.

Ilwad additionally serves as the chair of the Child Protection Gender Based Violence Case Management Group in Mogadishu; is a founding member of the Advisory Committee for Researching Gender Based Violence Social Norms in Somalia and South Sudan, is a member of the international practitioners network for civilian casualty recording, an expert in the Women Waging Peace Network for Inclusive Security, and a strategic advisory group member on the global child protection area of responsibility.

She has served as the One Young World Ambassador to Somalia since 2013; completed President Barack Obama's flagship White House fellowship for Young African Leaders in 2014 and in the same year was appointed youth ambassador to Somalia for Ending Sexual Violence in Conflict.

In an exclusive report, in May, 2016, The Washington Post described the role of Elman, and the Elman Center, in rehabilitating boys, who had been freed from serving as child soldiers, for warlords, only to have been secretly recruited to serve as spies by Somalia's new intelligence agency.

Ilwad briefed the UN Security Council on the Protection of Civilians debate in 2015; it was the first time a civil society representative was invited to speak on this issue before the Security Council, as well as the first time the annual thematic debate focused on women's empowerment and participation. She later co-wrote the Youth Action Agenda on Countering Violent Extremism which was cited in the historic UN Security Council Resolution 2250 on youth, peace and security. August 2016, Ilwad was appointed by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon an expert advisor on Youth, Peace & Security and has been tasked to counsel a study to develop a strategy on UNSCR 2250.

From the front lines of conflict and often in the face of extreme insecurities; Ilwad continues to innovate the advocacy efforts of the EPHRC. Through the combined effect of the grass-root programmatic interventions she designs as well as her global advocacy; she has sparked national movements internally and garnered international attention externally to yield action towards durable solutions for the human suffering and protracted crisis in Somalia.

title: Andrej Mitrović

text:
Andrej Mitrović (; 17 April 1937 – 25 August 2013) was a Serbian historian, professor and author. A specialist of the contemporary history of Serbia and Yugoslavia, he was head of the Contemporary History Department at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade. Mitrović wrote extensively about the First World War, the Paris Peace Conference, interwar Europe as well as articles on economic, social, cultural history and historiography.

One of the leading Yugoslav and Serbian historians of the 20th century, Mitrović often challenged his own country's historical narratives and was openly critical of Serbian nationalism in the late 1980s and early 1990. He was an honorary member of the Serbian Academy of Science and Arts, a member of the Montenegrin Academy of Sciences and Arts, and the recipient of several prestigious awards.

Early life and education
Andrej Mitrović was born in Kragujevac, Kingdom of Yugoslavia on 17 April 1937, he completed elementary and secondary school in Kragujevac. Mitrović graduated in history from the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade, earning his master's degree in 1964 with the thesis "April negotiations on the Adriatic question at the 1919 peace conference" and his doctorate in 1967 with the thesis "Delegation of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes at the 1919-1920 Peace Conference".

Academic career
Mitrović became faculty assistant in 1961, assistant professor in 1967, associate professor in 1974; that year he published Times Intolerant: A Political History of the Great Powers, 1919-1939 his award-winning book about the interwar growing ideological divisions and the intolerance that resulted from it.

In 1980 he accepted a position at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, where he taught contemporary European history, introduction to historical studies and numerous specialised courses; in 1987 he became the head of the department of Modern History. In 1988 he became a corresponding fellow of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts, spending research years in Italy and West Germany. Mitrović published the first comprehensive theory of historical studies in Serbian historiography after assimilating the concept of total history developed by the Bielefeld School, Mitrović’s version included politics, economy, society and culture bringing new perspectives in historical writing, a concept which his students then started applying in their own research.

Mitrović studied the place of Yugoslavia in European politics between the two world wars and is the author of books and articles about Serbia’s involvement in the First World War, as well as on the economic, social, and cultural, history of the Balkans within the European framework. According to Cambridge University Press Mitrović's Serbia's Great War, 1914–1918 (2005), his only volume to be republished in English, is widely regarded as a major contribution to the topic of Serbia and its role in WWI and is being studied in western scholarship. The first edition was greeted in scholarly circles as a "scrupulously written magnum opus".

Activism
Starting in the late 1980s Mitrović was outspoken about the abuse of history and the revision of facts for political purposes, using his scholarship as a platform for critique and activism; In the 1990s he was a vocal critic of the regime of Slobodan Milošević, opposing growing nationalism and advocating for a modern European oriented Serbia. Some of his speeches were published by the Belgrade Circle in a book entitled  (Other Serbia). Together with his wife, Ljubinka Trgovčević, he utilised his academic background to engage in public discourse, writing essays, giving lectures, and participating in every protests against the war.

In 1991 they published an historian's proclamation against the shelling of Dubrovnik, that same year he published a book in which he warned against the effects of what he called parahistory, a type of historical revisionism featuring the distortion of selected sources to indict one side or another. In April 1999 with a number of prominent Serbian intellectual, he was a signatory of  “A plea for peace from Belgrade”. According to German Historian Alexander Korb, as a consequence of his positions that stood out from most Serbian professional and academic circles, Mitrović was never promoted to full member of the Serbian Academy.

title: Johannes Buchner

text:
Johannes Buchner is a German biochemist and professor at the Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany.

Career

Buchner obtained his PhD at the University of Regensburg, Germany, working with Rainer Rudolph and Rainer Jaenicke. He performed his postdoctoral research in the lab of Ira Pastan at the National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, USA, before becoming assistant professor at the University of Regensburg and subsequently full professor and Chair of Biotechnology at the TUM.

Research
Molecular chaperones are an essential class of proteins that aid other proteins to obtain their biologically active structure and inhibit off-pathway side reactions during protein maturation. Buchner’s work focuses on understanding mechanisms of molecular chaperones in a quantitative and mechanistic manner. His work has contributed to our understanding of the chaperone cycle of the bacterial chaperone GroEL and now lays a particular emphasis on small heat shock proteins (sHsps), the Hsp90 chaperone machinery and the role of molecular chaperones in antibody folding. Buchner’s work established sHsps as molecular chaperones and has significantly contributed to our understanding of their function and mode of activation. His work on antibody folding delivered important insight in the mechanisms of how antibodies fold and are scrutinized by the cellular chaperone machinery. A major focus of Johannes Buchner’s lab is the Hsp90 chaperone machine. His work has provided a detailed mechanistic understanding of Hsp90 and its regulation by co-chaperones, establishing a functional chaperone cycle for Hsp90, which has become a major target in cancer therapy Several discoveries from the Buchner lab on chaperone-mediated protein folding have been successfully translated into novel applications in biotechnology.

Memberships and awards
Buchner is a member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences, the German Academy of Sciences and was from 2015 to  2016 president of the German Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Furthermore, he is a founding member of the Rainer Rudolph foundation. His work on protein folding and molecular chaperones has received several awards, among others the Hans Neurath Award of the Protein Society (2011), the Leopoldina Schleiden Medal (2015), the Albrecht-Kossel-Award (2016) and the Max Bergmann Medal (2017).

title: Atima Srivastava

text:
Atima Srivastava (born 1961 in Mumbai, India) is an author and director who lives in London. She has written short stories, authored two books, and has done multiple film directing and editing projects. Srivastava has won several awards for her work in film and literature. She also teaches and designs creative writing programs in universities throughout Europe.

Early life and education
Atima Srivastava was born in Mumbai, India in 1961. When she was eight years old, she moved to London with her family, where she still lives today.

Srivastava attended the Moat Mount School, now the Mill Hill County High School, in the 1970s. In 1980 she entered the University of Essex where she earned her bachelor's degree in 1983.

Career

Writing
Srivastava wrote her first novel, Transmission, in 1992. The semi-autobiographical story follows a young Anglo-Indian woman named Angie, who, much like Srivastava, works as a film producer. The book focuses on the relationships that Angie has with her parents, an old-fashioned and authoritarian Indian couple, and with Lol and Kathi, an HIV-positive couple about whom she wants to make a documentary and with whom she has a romantic affair. The title comes from the book's examination of several forms of transmission, the transmission of Indian culture and lifestyle into modern London and of sexually transmitted diseases.

In 2000 Srivastava published her second book, Looking for Maya. The plot tells of another young Anglo-Indian woman, Mira, who works as an author in London. Mira is forced to overcome issues of identity, love, tradition, and modernity as she attempts to find meaning while switching from one romantic entanglement to another. Both novels have protagonists who, instead of spiralling into an existential identity crisis over nationality and culture choose to focus on minor events in the characters' lives and their relation to a greater pursuit for love, success, and happiness.

Srivastava also written several short stories which have been published in anthologies such as New Writing 2001, Well-Sorted, and Tran-Lit.

Her third novel It Takes a Girl is available on Amazon in Paperback and Kindle, published February 14 2023

"When a gangster is found floating in the Brook in a peaceful Asian neighbourhood in North London, the scandalous secrets of a family are set to explode.
Shaani at 19 is faced with a situation that threatens to destroy everything: her brother’s glittering future, her mother’s mental health and the family’s spotless reputation. In her attempt to right the wrongs, she takes the biggest risk of her life. Will it pay off?"
The lightness of touch in Srivastava’s writing style is in stark contrast to the tense and terrifying roller coaster of the story – making It Takes a Girl a stylish psychological noir thriller.

Her fourth and latest novel Dark Waters is live on Amazon now, in Paperback and Kindle, published June 8 2023

"Kavya Sharma has it all. Unearned privilege and long legs, a good family, a beach house and a loving husband but she also has a chronic drink problem and resents being told off about it. Determined to take control of her situation, she spirals into a shapeless world inhabited by those who have murder in mind."

Film and theatre
Since 1985, Srivastava has worked as a film editor and director. In 1993 she helped produce a TV documentary Moving Pictures which is a journalism series reporting on global cinema. She also has written three TV-movie screenplays, Dancing in the Dark and The Legendary Vindaloo for Channel 4, and Camden Story for the BBC. In addition, the National Theatre Company commissioned her to write a play titled Why Not Love? which premiered in 2001.

Teaching
Srivastava has done a significant amount of work as a lecturer and curriculum designer for both British and European universities. In 2000 she  worked as  a lecturer at the New York University-London program where she taught creative writing and at CAPA International Education where she taught a course called Writing the City in addition to creative writing. She also taught various writing and film technique and development courses at IES Abroad between 2002 and 2007 and taught creative writing at the University of Greenwich from 2007 to 2009.
Her books have been studied at universities in Poland, Spain, and Russia.

She was also the British author-in-residence at the Universities of Singapore, Sophia in Bulgaria, Mumbai, Berne, Cologne, Mainz, Ewha in Seoul, Connecticut College (USA) and Warwick University.

Awards
Srivastava has won several awards for film and literature. She won the Bridgeport Short Story Prize in 1994 for her short story Dragons in E8. She has won two Arts Council Writers' Awards, one in 1998 for her book Looking for Maya, and one in 2000 for her unreleased third book. Also in 2000 she received the Hawthornden Fellowship and was a finalist at the London Writers' Competition.

title: Adelaide Metro 4000 class

text:
The Adelaide Metro 4000 class, also referred to as A-City trains, are electric multiple unit trains built by Bombardier Transportation (later Alstom) in Dandenong, Victoria for the electrified Adelaide rail network. They are the only class of operational electric trains in South Australia, running services on the Gawler, Seaford and Flinders lines.

The design shares similarities to the V/Line VLocity and Transperth B-series trains, also built by Bombardier.

History
In March 2011, Bombardier Transportation was awarded a contract to build 22 three-carriage trains for the Adelaide rail network, that was in the process of being electrified. The first of the Adelaide trains was delivered in July 2013, and entered service on 23 February 2014 on the Seaford and Tonsley (now Flinders) lines. The last was completed in October 2015.

When they were ordered, it was proposed that the Gawler line would be electrified, which would allow the trains to access Adelaide Metro's Dry Creek depot. However, before they were delivered, that project was temporarily cancelled. Whilst light maintenance was performed at their primary stabling point at Seaford Meadows, heavy maintenance needed to occur at Dry Creek. When required, each train was hauled there from Adelaide station by a pair of 3000 class railcars. This movement was ceased once the Gawler line was electrified in 2022.

In June 2019, a further 12 train sets were ordered for the Gawler line electrification, the first of which was delivered in mid-late 2021 and entered service on 4 March 2022.

title: Anredera vesicaria

text:
Anredera vesicaria, common names Texas madeiravine or sacasile, and the related A. cordifolia are the only two species of the family Basellaceae known to occur in the wild in the contiguous United States. Both are sometimes cultivated for their showy and fragrant floral displays. Anredera cordifolia is widespread throughout the warmer regions of the world, including outside its natural range as an invasive species. Anredera vesicaria is native to Texas as well as to Mexico, Central America, West Indies, and Venezuela and it is introduced in Florida. In Texas and Florida the species grows in thickets and in disturbed areas such as roadsides and fence rows at elevations less than 500 m (1650 feet).

Anredera vesicaria is an herbaceous, twining vine that can reach a height of 8 m (27 feet). It has small, cream-colored flowers less than 2 mm (0.08 inches) across but borne in large racemes or panicles as much as 70 cm (28 inches) long. The flowers produce an intense and pleasant scent.

title: Battle of Pfeddersheim (1795)

text:
The Battle of Pfeddersheim or Battle of the Pfrimm (10 November 1795) saw a Habsburg Austrian army led by François Sébastien Charles Joseph de Croix, Count of Clerfayt attack a Republican French army under Jean-Charles Pichegru. The Austrians defeated the French and forced them to retreat south to Frankenthal where Clerfayt won another clash a few days later. The battle occurred during the War of the First Coalition, part of the French Revolutionary Wars. The borough of Worms-Pfeddersheim is located in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany. Worms is approximately  north of Mannheim and Pfeddersheim is about  west of Worms.

In 1795 the French campaign on the Rhine involved two armies operating independently. After a promising start, the first French army under Jean-Baptiste Jourdan was driven back to the west bank of the Rhine. On 29 October the Austrians under Clerfayt routed the French at the Battle of Mainz, forcing them to abandon their siege lines. With Jourdan's army out of the picture, Clerfayt advanced south along the west bank of the Rhine against Pichegru's defenses behind the Pfrimm River near Worms. After beating Pichegru at Pfeddersheim and Frankenthal, Clerfayt isolated the French garrison at Mannheim. Not long afterward, the Austrians successfully wrapped up the Siege of Mannheim, eliminating the French foothold on the east bank of the Rhine and virtually ending the campaign.

title: Museo delle anime del Purgatorio

text:
The Museo delle Anime del Purgatorio (Italian for Museum of the Souls of Purgatory) is a museum of Rome (Italy), in 12 Lungotevere Prati, within the vestry of the Chiesa del Sacro Cuore del Suffragio.

History
In 1897 a fire burned a chapel of the Chiesa del Sacro Cuore del Suffragio. The priest Victor Jouët saw on the wall behind the altar the image of a human face bearing a sad and melancholy expression, impressed by the flames. He believed that the soul of a deceased man, condemned to Purgatory, had tried to get in contact with living people.

This specific occurrence brought to the foundation of the museum. Victor Jouët decided to find other documents and statements about similar facts. The research proved to be more difficult than expected, nevertheless he searched out many materials, showing the following: the deceased people, compelled to pass a period in the afterlife reign of Purgatory in order to purify from their sins, tried to catch the attention of the people still alive, so as to ask them for prayers and suffrage masses and so facilitating their transition to Paradise.

Collection
The collection of the museum is gathered into a single room of the vestry in the Chiesa del Sacro Cuore del Suffragio.

A single showcase contains about ten documents and photos, including:
the imprint of three fingers left in 1871 on the prayers book of Maria Zaganti by deceased Palmira Rastelli;
the photograph of an imprint impressed by deceased Mrs Leleux on the sleeve of his son Giuseppe during its appearance in 1789 in Wodecq, Belgium;
the fire imprint left by a finger of Sister Maria di San Luigi Gonzaga, which appeared to Sister Maria del Sacro Cuore in 1894;
the imprint on a book of Marguerite Demmerlé, in the Parish of Ellinghen, left by her mother-in-law in 1815, 30 years after her death.
