title: Douglas Dakin

text:
Douglas Dakin (13 July 1907 – 20 July 1995) was a British historian, academic and professor emeritus of Birkbeck College, University of London (1935–1974). He is especially known for his work in the Neohellenic Studies field, in which he devoted the greatest part of his study and research, especially focusing on the Greek Revolution through the mid-20th century period.

Biography

Early life and studies
Dakin was born in Gloucestershire, England, the son of a village schoolmaster. When, in 1920, Rendcomb College was founded near Cirencester, his father sent him there to study. In 1926 Dakin went up to Peterhouse, Cambridge, with an open scholarship, where he studied history and graduated with a first-class degree. He started teaching for the first time in 1931, at Haberdashers' Aske's School, London. Dakin then began his PhD, on Anne-Robert-Jacques Turgot, at Birkbeck College.

Academic career and World War II
In 1935, Dakin was appointed lecturer in history at Birkbeck College. Though his Turgot and the Ancien Régime work was published in 1939, a distinguished achievement for a scholar of his age, his main academic interests shifted from France to modern Greece; the cause of this was Dakin's military service during World War II in Greece.  Dakin had joined the Royal Air Force Volunteer Reserve (RAFVR) and served in Egypt and Greece as the liaison officer to the Royal Hellenic Air force and also had been involved with the Greek People's Liberation Army (ELAS). In 1945 he returned to the UK from the Middle East and was posted in the Allied/Foreign Liaison Section of the British Air Ministry.

Neohellenic studies
After the end of the war, Dakin returned to Birkbeck College where additional duties as an archivist were assigned to him. He faced bureaucracy with humour and parallel to his popular night classes on the post-Napoleonic Congress system and his supervisory duties of postgraduate students, acquiring for both the fame of an enlightened and respected teacher. His main work centered on modern Greek history for which Paul, king of Greece, awarded him the Golden Cross of the Order of the Phoenix; Darkin was also named an honorary doctor of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 1969 and a corresponding member of the Athens Academy from 1971. Following the foundation of the University of Cyprus, Darkin donated to it a big part of its book collection, consisting of about 850 titles; he then became and remained involved with the Cypriot Centre for Scientific Studies.

title: Stellar archaeology

text:
Stellar archaeology is the study of the early history of the universe, based on its early composition. By examining the chemical abundances of the earliest stars in the universe: metal-poor, Population II stars; insights are gained into their earlier, metal-free, Population III progenitors. This sheds light on such processes as galaxy formation and evolution, early star formation, nucleosynthesis in stars and supernovae, and the formation processes of the galactic halo. The field has already discovered that the Milky Way cannibalizes surrounding dwarf galaxies, giving it a youthful appearance.

title: George Truskey

text:
George Alexander Truskey is an American biomedical engineer noted for his research on transport phenomena in biological systems, cardiovascular tissue engineering, and cell adhesion to natural and synthetic surfaces.

Biography

Truskey received his B.S.E. in Bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania in 1979.  He then received his Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1985 under the direction of Clark K. Colton.  Upon graduation, he became a research fellow at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Experimental Pathology, as well as an assistant professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Tufts University.  In 1987, he joined the faculty at Duke University as an assistant professor of Biomedical Engineering.  From 2008 to 2010, he was the president of the Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES). He is the current R. Eugene and Susie E. Goodson Professor of Biomedical Engineering and the senior associate dean of research in the Pratt School of Engineering.  In 2014, he successfully chaired the committee to appoint a new provost for Duke University.

Notable research contributions

Truskey is the author of over 100 peer-reviewed research publications, a biomedical engineering textbook entitled Transport Phenomena in Biological Systems,  over 6 book chapters, and over 180 research abstracts and presentations.  His textbook has received positive feedback, with reviewers stating "While there are several other excellent books available on 'Transport Phenomena,' this is the only one that truly integrates biomedical engineering and physiology with basic principles of transport phenomena in a comprehensive manner."   He directed Duke University's Translational Research Partnership with the Coulter Foundation, which added $10 million to the endowment of Duke's Pratt School of Engineering.  The goal of the partnership is to promote translational research in Biomedical Engineering.

Current research

In 2012, Truskey was awarded 1 of 12 awards for NIH's new Tissue Chip and Drug Screening initiative.  These projects were also featured in a special supplement in Stem Cell Research and Therapy.
His current research also includes point-of-care endothelial cell seeding of nitinol stents and titanium devices to reduce restenosis complications.  His lab is also examining the effect of cell aging on endothelial permeability and mechanotransduction.

title: Cow Springs Ranch

text:
Cow Springs Ranch is a locale, located in Luna County, New Mexico.  The ranch headquarters is located at Cow Springs, originally Ojo de Vaca.

History
Ojo de Vaca was a watering place on the old trail between Janos, Chihuahua, Mexico to the Santa Rita copper mines.  When Cooke's Mormon Battalion was searching for a wagon route between the Rio Grande and California, they intercepted the old Mexican road at this spring. From there they followed a course southwestward to Guadalupe Pass and the Janos - Fronteras Road they followed west to the San Pedro River, following it northward before turning west to Mescal Spring and Tucson, pioneering the route known as Cooke's Wagon Road.  By 1849, Cooke's road became the major southern route of the forty-niners during the California Gold Rush and Ojo de Vaca spring was one of the reliable watering places on what became the Southern Emigrant Trail.  Later Ojo de Vaca was a watering place on the San Antonio-San Diego Mail Line.  Subsequently, the Butterfield Overland Mail built Ojo de Vaca Station as a stagecoach station at Ojo de Vaca, in New Mexico Territory.  It was located 14 miles northeast of Soldiers Farewell Station and 16 miles southwest of Miembre's River Station, later Mowry City, New Mexico.  It remained an important stop on this route until the long distance stagecoach lines ended in the late 19th century.

title: Agriculture in Santa Catarina

text:
The agriculture in Santa Catarina is one of the main economic activities of this Brazilian state. The agricultural sector is equivalent to 13.6% of the labor force.  Agriculture and farm diversification has taken place mostly by smaller farms. Between 1982 and 1983, floods claimed the lives of Santa Catarina. The result of the flooding occurred in losses of more than Cr$ 900 billion. The floods in 1984 and the strength of a drought in 1985-1986 were the agents that caused the punishment of economics and population.

Corn is the main wealth produced by the state. The corn crop is present throughout the territory, especially in the highlands. In 2012, maize production in Santa Catarina was 2,870,450 t, and the eighth largest producer of corn Brazilian state. Cassava is another major wealth produced by the state (529 648 t) and its presence spreads its whole territory. As a cultural reference, the coffee branch appears in the coat of arms of Santa Catarina because it was formerly cultivated in coastal state.

In 2012, Santa Catarina was the sixth Brazilian state that produced more beans (115,719 t), the first that produced the most onions (376.603 t), the first that produced the most garlic (19,315) and the second most produced tobacco (237 213 t). Santa Catarina also produces rice, sugarcane, soybean, wheat, tomato and irish potato.

Fruits that only grow in temperate climates, such as apples, plums, peaches, nectarines and grapes are grown in Santa Catarina. In 2012, Santa Catarina was the first state that produced the most apples in Brazil ( 659,756 t ) and the fifth most produced grape ( 71,019 t ).

title: Michael Špaček (ice hockey)

text:
Michael Špaček (born 9 April 1997) is a Czech professional ice hockey forward. He currently plays with HC Ambri-Piotta in the National League (NL). Špaček was born in Mariánské Lázně, Czech Republic, but grew up in Dašice, Czech Republic.

Playing career
Špaček made his Czech Extraliga debut playing with HC Pardubice at age 17, during the 2013–14 season. Špaček had played as a youth within the Pardubice organization since 2010. In his first full professional campaign with Pardubice in 2014–15, Špaček contributed 12 points in 40 games. Spacek was selected in the 4th round, 108th overall by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.   Špaček competed for the Red Deer Rebels of the WHL, during the 2015–16 season.

On 2 June 2017, after two seasons with Red Deer, Špaček completed his junior career by agreeing to a three-year, entry-level contract with the Winnipeg Jets.

During the 2019–20 season, re-assigned to the Manitoba Moose of the AHL, Špaček appeared in 45 games posting 20 points assists before he was re-assigned by the Jets to join the Ontario Reign, primary affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings, on loan for the remainder of the season on 2 March 2020. Špaček failed to appear in a game with the Reign due to injury before the season was prematurely ended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As an impending restricted free agent from the Jets, Špaček opted to halt his NHL aspirations by agreeing to a one-year contract in Finland with Tappara of the Liiga on 4 August 2020. His rights were later relinquished by the Jets on 4 October 2020. In the 2020–21 season, Špaček registered 5 goals and 13 points through 18 regular season games with Tappara before leaving the club to return to the Czech Republic in joining HC Oceláři Třinec of the ELH for the remainder of the season on 26 January 2021. Špaček made an immediate impact with Třinec, collecting 14 points in 16 playoff games to help the club claim the Championship.

As a free agent, Špaček joined his third European club within the year, agreeing to a two-year contract with Swedish outfit Frölunda HC of the SHL on 3 May 2021.

It is a project of  and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (Germany). The ship travels through Germany and also through Switzerland and Austria for several months of the year showing temporary exhibitions in line with the respective Science Year.

Exhibition ship MS Wissenschaft

History
The ship was built in 1969 at the former Elfring shipyard in Haren. In 2002, the University of Bremen hired the cargo ship, then called Geoschiff, which was used as a floating exhibition on geoscience for six months. Due to the success of this, MS Wissenschaft has been used as a science exhibition ship every summer since 2003. For the use as MS Wissenschaft the ship is converted every year.

Exhibitions
On its tours, MS Wissenschaft visits numerous cities throughout Germany, which it can reach on inland waterways. In 2005, Basel in Switzerland, the first foreign city to be reached via the Rhine, was also on the tour schedule. Since 2010, several cities along the Danube in the neighboring country of Austria have also been visited.

title: 2014 Canadian federal budget

text:
The Canadian federal budget for fiscal year 2014–2015 was presented to the House of Commons of Canada by Jim Flaherty on 11 February 2014. This was the last budget presented by the Finance Minister before his resignation in March and death in April. At the end of the fiscal year, the government was surprised to post a budgetary surplus of  $1.9 billion. This however would later be overturned to a small deficit of $550 million due to improper accounting methodologies for the Government's unfunded pension obligations, as pointed out for years by the Auditor General.

Programs
The budget cut  from the Department of National Defence budget allocated for procurement of equipment via the Canada First Defence Strategy. Flaherty stated the funds would be restored in the future when "key purchases will be made".

The government announced a plan to establish the National Disaster Mitigation Program, which it would begin funding in the 2015–2016 fiscal year under the 2015 budget. The program "will invest in structural mitigation projects" and provide residential flood insurance in conjunction with provincial, territorial, and private insurance plans.

The budget established the Canada First Research Excellence Fund, which was to receive $50 million in the 2015–2016 fiscal year for research funding at post-secondary institutions. Four grant councils, including the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, would receive a combined $46 million annually.

Taxes and tariffs
The proposed budget increased excise taxes on cigars, cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and tobacco sticks, and also imposed a tax increase on duty-free tobacco products. Flaherty stated that the increase was to account for the effects of inflation since 2002, and would be indexed to inflation every five years. the Tax took effect 12 February 2014. The budget allocated $92 million of tobacco tax revenues over five years to establish the Geospatial Intelligence and Automated Dispatch Centre and to install sensors to detect movement of contraband tobacco products in high-risk areas.

The budget included a reduction in sick leave benefits for public servants, a doubling of the Public Service Health Care Plan premium for retired civil servants, and increasing eligibility requirements to reduce enrollment in the program. The government said it also expected to replace the sick leave benefit program with a short-term disability program in future collective bargaining with public sector unions, and included in the budget the expected compensation savings from that change.

The small business hiring tax credit was eliminated by the budget, as was a tariff for mobile offshore drilling systems.

The tax credit for adopting children was increased to . Search and rescue personnel with 200 hours of service per year received a tax credit similar to that received by volunteer fire fighters in the 2011 budget.

"Immigration trusts" were eliminated by the budget. These trusts were used by immigrants to shelter investment income from Canadian income tax. Graduated tax rates for testamentary trusts were also eliminated.

Business
The Automotive Innovation Fund was increased by $500 million over two years. The budget also allocated $78 million per year for five years for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to improve inspections and establish the Food Safety Information Network.

The budget bill also included a proposal to update some regulations. The Food and Drug Regulations would be amended to redefine the term beer to "reflect innovation" in brewing. It updated the compositional standards, allowing the use of flavouring ingredients such as nutmeg by craft breweries.

Intellectual property laws relating to trademarks, service marks, and patents were changed for consistency with the Madrid Protocol, the Singapore Treaty, the Nice Agreement, the Patent Law Treaty, and the Hague Agreement.

The budget document also stated that Service Canada would operate the Canada Job Grant, which had been announced in the 2013 federal budget, in jurisdictions with which the federal government failed to secure agreements.

title: Cumbria County History Trust

text:
The Cumbria County History Trust (CCHT) is a charity launched in May 2010 to coordinate and gather resources for the Victoria County History of Cumbria project, a collaborative community project created to research and write the histories of all parts of Cumbria, and to make historical information generally available, within the framework and standards of the Victoria County History of England.

General
The aim of CCHT is to initiate a step-change in the awareness and understanding of Cumbria's local historical heritage, by harnessing the enthusiasm for local history which exists widely across Cumbria, and pooling expertise.  Its ultimate aim is to write the history of every town and village in England.  To date, a team of over 100 volunteers from across Cumbria has compiled brief histories for each of the 348 parishes/townships in the county, using the Civil Parishes as they existed around 1900. Edited versions of these histories can be found on each place page of on the CCHT website and have been published as a book, Cumbria: An Historical Gazetteer. In addition, a smaller core of volunteers has been researching and writing full parish/township histories, in the standard style of the Victoria County History. Please see the Completed Draft Histories section on the project website for more details about their progress. Our first VCH parish history was published in March 2018 and covers the three fellside villages of Kirkowald, Staffield and Renwick. See Richard Brockington and Sarah Rose, The Victoria History of Cumberland: Kirkoswald and Renwick (University of London, 2019). Ultimately, CCHT aims to cover the whole of Cumbria in 16 'Red Books'. The first, for the Lonsdale Ward in Westmorland, is due to be published in late 2024.

Early work
No VCH town or village histories had been published for the historic counties of Cumberland and Westmorland before the VCH Cumbria project was launched in 2010; the only parts of Cumbria previously to have been researched in detail by the VCH were those parts which were formerly in Lancashire.  The story of the early attempts to publish a VCH for Cumberland and Westmorland has been told by John Beckett in a paper in the Transactions of the Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and archaeological Society, New Series, vol XI, (2011) pp. 207–225

Lancashire
The Furness and Cartmel areas (Lonsdale North of the Sands) were covered in VCH Lancashire, Volume VIII (published in 1910)

Cumberland
Two introductory volumes were published in the early twentieth century, Volume 1 (1901), which covered Early Man, Pre-Norman Remains, Introduction to and Texts of the Cumberland Domesday, Early Pipe Rolls, and Testa de Nevill and Volume II (1905) which covered Political History, Industries, Sport Ancient and Modern, Forestry. The first VCH parish history of Cumberland was published in March 2018 – Richard Brockington and Sarah Rose, The Victoria History of Cumberland: Kirkoswald and Renwick (University of London, 2019).

Westmorland
Nothing has been published to date

Resources

The CCHT website aims to be the major online source for the history of Cumbria. Included among the many resources on there is a full transcript of Cumbrian Census figures from 1801 to 2001, by ward. Each place page contains links to a number of place-specific sources, including the most relevant papers in the CWAAS Transactions. There is a range of images available for download from the Gallery, including images taken from:

Project Direction

All the work on the Victoria County History of Cumbria project is being done by volunteers, under the overall direction of Dr Fiona Edmonds Director of the Regional Heritage Centre at Lancaster University and with volunteer guidance and support provided by Dr Sarah Rose, assistant editor.

Volunteers are provided training to ensure that the high standards of scholarship expected from the Victoria County History are maintained, and that the output, both Digests and Draft Histories, provides a factual, reliable and authoritative work of reference for everyone with an interest in the history of their town or village – and possibly their family too.

A practical guide for volunteers contributing to the Victoria County History (Cumbria) Project has been published and is freely available. It contains guidance on all aspects of researching and writing the history of a parish or township for the VCH, drawing attention to sources and themes of particular relevance to the history of local communities in Cumbria.

Trustees
The Cumbria County History Trust (CCHT) is a registered charity (Charity Registration Number 1137379).  The charitable aims of the Trust are:

 to further the education of the public in the history and heritage of the County of Cumbria and its communities and to promote and foster public knowledge, understanding and appreciation of the history of the area in general.
 to undertake research into the history and heritage of the County of Cumbria and its communities and to disseminate the useful results of such research for the public benefit.

title: Neftalí Ayungua Suárez

text:
Neftalí Ayungua Suárez (born April 27, 1936, died June 2021) was a Mexican potter from Patamban, Michoacán, named a “grand master” of Mexican folk art.

Ayungua Suárez was born in Támbani Anápu, Michoacán but moved to Patamban, an indigenous community at the base of a small mountain of the same name in the Tangancícuaro Mountains, where Purépecha is still spoken. The town is noted for its green glazed ceramics, especially platters, plates, jars, pineapple shaped storage containers and many other items.

He attended school only until the second year of primary as he had to work the family’s corn and vegetable fields. Only much later did he learn to read, forced by the need to read road signs in his later travels to sell his wares. At age 21, he married Ana María Cuevas, who taught him how to make ceramics. The artisan at one point tried to migrate to the United States but could not pass the border, so worked in Tonalá, Jalisco for a few months. There he learned about firing methods and how to keep pieces from sticking together. When he returned to Patamban, he not only used the techniques himself but also taught family and neighbors. Ayungua Suárez and his wife have been making pottery full time since 1974. Today, he is the best-known artisan in Patamban, commonly known as Tatá (grandfather) Talí.

Ayungua Suárez´s works range from tiny miniatures to large cooking vessels and have a combination of dark and light green coloring along with white and rust. They are decorated with black, red and white. Working on a heavy wood table, he works clay from local sources, which has been cleaned and pulverized by hand. He uses molds he has made himself of plaster or fired clay with certain elements such as texturizing the pineapple pieces done by hand. The pieces are covered in a slip and fired the first time. After cooling the pieces are glazed and fired again, which is more delicate process and more pieces are lost.

He has worked to get government cooperation for local artisans as head of the Tata Talí artisans’ group.

In 2001, his work was recognized by being named a “grand master” by the Fomento Cultural Banamex . In 2008, the Universidad Autónoma de Colima honored him with an exhibition and award ceremony.

The pitching staff allowed only four earned runs in their first four games while winning five games in a row before losing a meaningless last contest. The offense was paced by first baseman Jim Bowie, who hit .444 (8-for-20) with three home runs and 11 runs batted in to claim Most Valuable Players honors. Meanwhile, outfielder Raúl Mondesí hit .450 (9-for-20) to win the batting title, while driving in six runs and scoring six times. The pitching rotation went 4–0 with a 1.00 ERA, and was led by Pedro Astacio (1-0, 0.00) and Julián Tavárez (1-0, 1.23). The team also featured pitchers Pedro Martínez, Yorkis Pérez and Efraín Valdez; catcher Gilberto Reyes and outfielder Bernardo Brito, as well as infielders Alex Arias, Juan Bell, Juan Guerrero, Francisco Matos, Junior Noboa and Henry Rodríguez, among others.

The host Navegantes del Magallanes of Venezuela, guided by Tim Tolman, ended in second place with a 4–2 mark. James Waring posted a 2–0 record and allowed only five hits in 13 innings of shutout ball, to lead all pitchers in ERA (0.00) and innings while tying for the most wins. DH Raúl Marcano hit .364 (8-for-22) and slugged .500, including five runs and five RBI, to command the offense of the team. Other contributions came from Bobby Abreu, Wilson Álvarez, Oscar Azócar, Alvaro Espinoza, Jason Grimsley, John Hudek, Juan Carlos Pulido and Luis Raven.

The Senadores de San Juan went 3–3 to finish in third place. With Luis Meléndez at the helm, the representing team of Puerto Rico received a fine pitching performance from Tom McCarthy (2-0, 1.29 ERA, two starts) and José Alberro (0.00, six innings). Their most productive hitters were Carlos Baerga, with a team-best average of .391 (9-for-23), and Carlos Delgado, who batted .364 and slugged .864, including three homers, seven RBI and six runs.

The hapless Naranjeros de Hermosillo of Mexico were managed by Marv Foley and ended with a 0–6 record. Besides first baseman Matt Franco (.348, .522 SLG) and pitcher Blaise Ilsley (1.29 ERA), the club was overmatched by its opponents from the start of the tournament, becoming the third winless team in Series history, as they joined the Coclé BBC from Panama (1959) and their fellow team Tomateros de Culiacán (1983). Also on the roster were Matías Carrillo, Narciso Elvira, Howard Farmer, Donald Harris, Marcus Moore, Antonio Osuna, Vicente Palacios, Tony Perezchica, Homar Rojas and Ed Vosberg.

title: A Night in Old Mexico

text:
A Night in Old Mexico is a 2013 Spanish-American Western film directed by Emilio Aragón about a man (Robert Duvall) and his grandson (Jeremy Irvine).

Plot
Forced to give up his land and home, cantankerous Texas rancher Red Bovie (Robert Duvall) isn't about to go quietly to the dismal trailer park that's all he can now afford. Instead, Red departs with his grandson Gally (son of his long-estranged son Jimmy) for a road trip to what Red calls "Old Mexico". They pick up Moon and J.T., two hitch-hikers who have stolen over $150,000 in drug money. But Red drives off without them after they steal his beer, unaware of a satchel holding $150,000 in drug money they left in his car. They arrive in Mexico, still pursued by the drug dealers, who are pursued in turn by the assassin Cholo looking to recover the stolen money.

Red and Gally enjoy the town's attractions during the Mexican Day of the Dead festival. As night falls, they visit a brothel for dancing and drinks. They later meet Patty Wafers, a down on her luck stripper turned nightclub singer. She is intrigued by Red's fearless and outrageous behavior. Cholo kills J.T. and Moon, and is now in pursuit of Red.  Patty tries to help them use some of the money to return to America undetected across the border, but Cholo catches up with them and takes the cash. They pursue him, then they pursue Panama, another drug cartel member who was disappointed in Cholo's performance and shot him.

As Red and Patty's affection grows, Red begins to lose interest in the illicit money. But Gally, seeking to assert his identity after the death of his father, takes up the pursuit. They eventually overpower Panama and recover the money, leaving him to be arrested. Patty invites Red to live with her in her small hometown in northern Mexico. He accepts and is happy to go with her, knowing that with $150,000, they will live like royalty. As they part ways and Gally returns to the U.S., Red tells Gally that he has "found himself a grandson" and they part on good terms.

Cast

 Robert Duvall as Red Bovie
 Jeremy Irvine as Gally

Reception
Critical reception was mixed to negative, with an approval rating of 43% based on 21 reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. The site's critical consensus states: "A Night in Old Mexico gives Robert Duvall a too-rare starring showcase -- then frustratingly wastes it on a contrived story that's often unworthy of his talents."

title: Careto (malware)

text:
(Spanish slang for "face"), sometimes called The Mask, is a piece of espionage malware discovered by Kaspersky Lab in 2014. Because of its high level of sophistication and professionalism, and a target list that included diplomatic offices and embassies, Careto is believed to be the work of a nation state. Kaspersky believes that the creators of the malware were Spanish-speaking.

Because of the focus on Spanish-speaking victims, the heavy targeting of Morocco, and the targeting of Gibraltar, Bruce Schneier speculates that Careto is operated by Spain.

Payload
Careto normally installs a second and more complex backdoor program called SGH. SGH is easily modifiable and also has a wider arsenal including the ability to intercept system events, file operations, and performing a wider range of surveillance features. The information gathered by SGH and Careto can include encryption keys, virtual private network configurations, and SSH keys and other communication channels.

Detection and removal
Careto is hard to discover and remove because of its use of stealth capabilities. In addition, most of the samples have been digitally signed. The signatures are issued from a Bulgarian company, TecSystem Ltd., but the authenticity of the company is unknown. One of the issued certificates was valid between June 28, 2011 and June 28, 2013. Another was valid from April 18, 2013 to July 18, 2016, but was revoked by Verisign.

Careto was discovered when it made attempts to circumvent Kaspersky security products. Upon discovery of Careto trying to exploit their software, Kaspersky started to investigate further. As part of collecting statistics, multiple sinkholes were placed on the command and control servers.

Currently most up-to-date antivirus software can discover and successfully remove the malware.

Distribution
On investigation of the command and control servers, discoveries showed that more than 380 victims were infected. From the information that has been uncovered, the victims were infected with the malware by clicking on a spear phishing link which redirected to websites that had software that Careto could exploit, such as Adobe Flash Player. The player has since been patched and is no longer exploitable by Careto. The websites that contained the exploitable software had names similar to popular newspapers, such as The Washington Post and The Independent.

The malware is said to have multiple backdoors to Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows. Evidence of a possible fourth type of backdoor to Android and IOS was discovered on the C&C servers, but no samples were found.

It is estimated that Careto has been compiled as far back as 2007. It is now known that the attacks ceased in January 2014.

title: Luzira Head

text:
The Luzira Head locally known as the Mpanga Head is the name of a terracotta head found at Luzira, Uganda. Estimated to be about 1000 years old, it is one of the oldest Sub-saharan sculptures yet discovered in Africa. Since 1931, it has been part of the British Museum's ethnographic collection.

Description
The Luzira Head is a unique terracotta bust of a woman. The head has very narrow, protruding eyes and mouth with a diminutive nose. Along the forehead are three cicatrices. The hair is matted and falls either side of the head. The lower part of the figure was also found during the original excavations. It is tripod-shaped and like the head is hollow and made of baked clay.

Discovery
The head and torso, along with a number of other artefacts, were excavated by the British geologist EJ Wayland between 1929 and 1930. They were unearthed in a prison compound at the site of Luzira, in the suburbs of Kampala, Uganda. Other objects discovered at the time included over one hundred pottery sherds, fourteen terracotta pieces, a pottery vessel, an iron spear and an axe similar to the story of Ibrahim and the idols. But unfortunately the whereabouts of the Luzira axe are unknown. It is conjectured that the site was once an ancient Buganda shrine. Radio-carbon dating has indicated that the objects found there are approximately a thousand years old.

title: Ramosmania

text:
Ramosmania is a genus of two species of small trees in the family Rubiaceae; one is extinct. Both species are endemic to the island of Rodrigues, Mauritius.

Species
The genus comprises two species:
 Ramosmania rodriguesi
 †Ramosmania heterophylla  (extinct)

Cytology
The diploid chromosome count of Ramosmania rodriguesi is 2n = 22.

Conservation
The only remaining species, Ramosmania rodriguesi, was re-discovered by a schoolboy in 1979. After its rediscovery, the local population repeatedly cut off branches of the only remaining tree. To prevent its extinction, cuttings were sent to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Vegetative propagation was successful, however generative reproduction was not possible, as only functionally male flowers were formed. Later, it was discovered that heat stress could induce the formation of female flowers, which were then successfully pollinated. Cultivated plants have been reintroduced to Rodrigues, but it is still classified as Critically Endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources.

title: Romanovka, Vsevolozhsky District, Leningrad Oblast

text:
Romanovka  (, ) is a settlement and administrative center of the Romanovsky rural settlement of  Vsevolozhsky District of Leningrad Oblast.

History
Romanovka dates back to the beginning of the 18th century. The settlement was designated as Romanaisi on the Noterburgsky's map, drawn by P. Vasander in 1699.
Gubki village belonged to the heirs of the deceased actual chamberlain Vsevolod Vsevolozhsky. The population in 1838 was 1404 men and 113 women. On the ethnographic map of St. Petersburg's Province by P.I. Koppen, 1849,  Gubki is mentioned as "Huwa" village, inhabited by Ingrian–Savakotans.
In the explanatory text  to the ethnographic map, the population of the village named Huwa ( Gubki and Romanivka )is specified as the following: Ingrian–Savakotons  - 102 men, 189 women, Finns - 21 men, 24 women, all together 234 residents.

According to "The topographical map of parts of St. Petersburg and Vyborg Provinces" in 1860 adjacent villages Gubki and Romanivka  had up to 18 peasant households each.
On the Plan of the general land surveying of the Shlisselburgsky district, they are mentioned as Gubkina and Romanovka villages. In 1862, Gubki was a possesory village, with the water supply system, 41 yards, population of 119 men, 105 women and volost board.

In 1885, according to the map of St.Petersburg Province, the village of Gubki had 105 yards. Gubki became a former possessory village in Ryabovsky volost, with 45 yards and population of 217 inhabitants. There was a school, a bench, a tavern, an Orthodox church (3 versts away, glass plant (15 versts away).

In 1895, according to the map of the Shlisselburgsky district, Romanovka village had 29 country yards, and adjacent village Gubki had 26 yards. Gubki was the village, on the territory of Gubinsky rural community near the settlement of tenants under the name of Melnichny Ruchey.

In the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, the village belonged to the Ryabovsky volost of the 2nd county of the Shlisselburgsky Uyezd of Saint Petersburg Governorate. Also, before the Revolution, there was a board of the Ryabovsky volost.

Romanovka became the village of the Romanovsky Village Council, had 45 farms, 199 people.

Gubki also became the village of the Romanovsky Village Council, and had 37 farms, 179 people
In 1926, the Romanovsky Finnish national Village Council  was established (Finns — 1692, Russians — 177, others national minorities — 68 people).

The villages were a part of the Village Council according to population census of 1926: Babino, Volchie Gory, Gubki, Kornevo, Melnichny Ruchey, Romanovka, Uglovo and Kornevo's railway station. According to administrative data of 1933, the villages belonged to the Romanovsky Finnish national Village Council: Melnichny Ruchey, Volchie Gory, Kornevo, Proba, Lepsara, Romanovka, Babino, Gubki, Uglovo, Pugarevo, Maloe Pugarevo, Kyasselevo, Rumbolovo and Radost settlement. The total population of the Village Council was 2821 people. According to administrative data of 1936, Romanovka village was the center of the Romanovsky Village Council of the Leningrad Oblast. In the Village Council there were 21 settlements, 767 farms and 9 collective farms.

By the beginning of the 1930es, Gubki and Romanovka had been designated on the maps separately. In 1939, Romanovka finally absorbed Gubki. BIG ROMANOVKA was the village of the Romanovsky Village Council, with 242 people. SMALL ROMANOVKA was the village of the Romanovsky Village Council, with 120 people. Gubki became the village of the Romanovsky Village Council, with 196 people in 1939.

The national Village Council was liquidated in the spring of 1939. The settlements were transferred to the Vaganovo and Shcheglovsky village councils, and also Vsevolozhsk settlement council. Until 1942 it was the place of residence for Ingermanlandish Finns. In 1942 all Finnish population of the village council was deported.

In 1946, as a result of the merge of the neighboring collective farms  "Kornevo", "Puno-Tyakhti" (Red Star) and "Murros",  "Romanovka" reproductive and pig-breeding state farm was established. In 194? — 1948 the pig-breeding complex  was constructed in Romanovka.

In 1988, the memorial complex "280 meters of the "Road of Life", located in the village, was recognized as a historical monument.

According to 1990, Romanovka village was a part of the Shcheglovsky Village Council.
In 1995, Kornevo and Romanovka villages were united in Romanovka settlement. In 2007, 5616 people lived in the settlement, in 2012 — 7612.
