title: Cybo-Soderini Chapel (Santa Maria del Popolo)

text:
The Cybo-Soderini Chapel () or the Chapel of the Crucifixion () is a side chapel of the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo, Rome. Its most important works of art are the frescos of a Flemish artist, Pieter van Lint from c. 1636-37.

History
According to 16th-century archival sources the chapel was founded by Teodorina Cybo (c. 1455-1508), the natural daughter of Pope Innocent VIII. She was married to a Genovese gentleman, Gherardo Usodimare who was appointed depositario generale (treasurer) of the papal court. The concession document of the chapel has not been preserved but it was probably granted during the Cybo papacy when another side chapel in the basilica was acquired by Cardinal Lorenzo Cybo de Mari, the pope's favourite nephew. In 1499 Gherardo Usodimare died suddenly after having a dinner with his cousin-in-law, and he was buried in the basilica with great honor, supposedly in his own family chapel. Theodorina survived her husband by nine years and died in 1508. Giovanni Antonio Bruzio in the 17th-century stated that Teodorina Cybo assigned the revenues of a house in the Borgo district for the maintenance of the chapel but the building was demolished when the new colonnade on St. Peter's Square was built.

The chapel was first mentioned in a contemporary document in 1530 as "capella Crucifixi" when the concession was renewed for Teodorina's son, Giambattista Usodimare (Cybo), the Bishop of Mariana. The bishop made an endowment of 30 gold scudi for the maintenance of the chapel instead of the house in the Borgo which had been destroyed during the Sack of Rome in 1527. In his will, dated to 1 December 1531 the bishop expressed his wish to be buried in the chapel and left the task to his heirs to erect a decent monument. At the time the chapel contained the burials of Teodorina and her husband. The bishop also donated valuable velvet and satin hangings. In 1555 the heirs, Cesare Cybo, the archbishop of Turin and Francesco Cybo renewed the endowment of the house in the Borgo which had been restored. The altar was consecrated on 18 October 1595.

There is not much left of the original Renaissance interior of the chapel except the large crucifix on the altar and the slabs of the beautiful marble transenna. It is uncertain whether it had any painted decoration. The chapel was fully restored after 1636 in Baroque style by a certain Innocenzo Cybo (†1640). At the time the walls and the vault were decorated with the extant frescos of Pieter van Lint, Ionic stucco capitals were added to the half-columns of the entrance arch and the burial vault was sealed with a new tomb slab.

The three heirs of the Cybo family renounced the patronage right of the chapel on 7 October 1747. It was bought by a new owner, Count Lorenzo Soderini in 1821 and restored in 1825. Soderini replaced the tomb slab, the coats-of-arms above the frescos on the lateral walls and created a new Corinthian aedicule for the crucifix.

Description

The crucifix

The wooden crucifix above the main altar was first mentioned in 1530 as the imago Crucifixi. The origin and authorship of the sculpture is uncertain. Barbara Fabjan assumed that it was produced in the orbit of Matteo Civitali, a Tuscan artist active in the second half of the 15th century. "The face appears to be a sort of coarse and rustic but intensely dramatic replica of the Eucharistic Christ at Lammari, a late work by Civitali executed between 1496 and 1501", she concluded. Fabjan supposed that the statue was commissioned by Teodorina Cybo in a period when Tuscan artistic influences were strong in Rome.

The statue became an object of great devotion. Tradition says that St Philip Neri spent a lot of time in front of it in prayer, while Pope Gregory XIII granted privileges to the altar in 1576. The justification for the 1636 restoration of the chapel was "the reverence felt by the whole Roman people" towards the statue, and the entire painted decoration aimed to underscore its importance. The current wooden Corinthian aedicule which frames the statue comes only from the 19th century but a similar structure was most probably created after 1636 because the decoration around the windows takes this into account. The sculpture was made of poplar wood covered in canvas, stuccoed and painted. The crucifix was restored in 1922 when the arms and the feet were replaced, the cross is modern.

Frescos

The side walls are articulated by painted Corinthian pilasters and the splays of the windows are decorated with monochrome trophies including the instruments of the Passion. The archivolt of the entrance arch is decorated with coffers and rosettes. Two portraits in oval medallions on the sides of the altar represent Innocenzo Cybo and his wife (the male head is heavily damaged). The painted architecture, which is among the finest from the period in Rome, was executed by Pietro Paolo Drei.

Two large frescos by a Flemish artist, Pieter van Lint depict scenes from the legend of the True Cross: on the left side the Invention of the True Cross, on the right the Exaltation of the Cross. The first painting shows the moment when the True Cross was identified: three crosses were found on the site of the Calvary by Saint Helena and the body of a dead man was brought to the place. The True Cross restored the dead to life. The scene is set in a bucolic landscape with the city of Jerusalem on the left and a small shrine with the statue of Apollo on the right. The second painting shows Emperor Heraclius when he brought back the cross to Jerusalem in 629. He tried to enter the city carrying the cross but he was stopped until he dismounted his palfrey, and took off his imperial robes and boots. The gate of Jerusalem closely resembles the original Porta del Popolo outside of the basilica giving the impression that the procession is arriving on Via Flaminia. The richly decorated stucco frames of the paintings are crowned with the Soderini coat-of-arms.

The Invention of the True Cross was copied by another Flemish artist, the engraver Pieter de Bailliu. He was also working in Rome around 1636 but his print was only published through the support of Judocus Gillis, the abbot of the Cistercian abbey of St. Bernard near Antwerp in the 1650s. A preparatory study for the same fresco was sold in Cologne in 1892.

The frescos on the vault depict the Angels with the Symbols of the Passion. In the five main field brightly winged angels hold objects associated with the Passion of Christ: the purple robe of mockery and the crown of thorns; the cross; the Veronica; the Holy Tunic; the Holy Lance and the Holy Sponge on a reed. In the two narrow fields on the sides there are chubby putti reading a book and playing on musical instruments. The fresco in the central oculus shows God the Father surrounded by cherubs. A small coat-of-arms of the Cybo family survived on the vault as part of the decoration. A preparatory study of an angel by Pieter van Lint is conserved in Rotterdam.

There are four Prophets in the lunettes while the central lunette is filled with clouds and two putti. The lunette frescos are connected to the central theme of the painted decoration because the four Old Testament figures prefigured or prophesied the mission and death of Jesus. The parallels could be easily grasped by an erudite spectator in the Baroque era but they were also explained by way of the accompanying inscriptions.

In the first lunette Daniel is depicted who visioned that "the Anointed One will be put to death" (Daniel 9:26) which was traditionally interpreted as a reference to the death of Christ. His angel is holding up a tablet with Greek, Latin and Hebrew letters, a probable reference to the holy relic of the Titulus Crucis which was also brought to Rome by Saint Helena. In the second lunette King David is shown with his harp, sceptre and a putto holding a scroll with an inscription: "[R]egnavit a ligno De[us]" which means: "God has reigned from the wood", an allusion to the cross. The expression is derived from a now obsolete version of the Psalm 96 in the Psalterium Romanum and appeared in this form in the hymn Vexilla Regis by Venantius Fortunatus. The words were widely understood as a prophecy that predicted the crucifixion of Christ and his reign over the world.

The third prophet is not Hosea, as sometimes mistakenly identified, but Isaiah. The words on his scroll clearly reveal his true identity: "Non est sp[eci]es ei ne[que decor]" which means "he had no form nor comeliness". This is a line from Isaiah 53, the fourth Servant song which has been interpreted as a prophecy about the suffering of Jesus since apostolic times.

At last Prophet Jonah is shown leaning against the whale and writing the following words on a tablet: "Tollite me, et [mittite in mare]" which means "Pick me up and [throw me into the sea]" (Jonah 1:12). The gesture that he was ready to give up his life to save his companions from certain death during the raging storm was seen as a prefiguration of the sacrifice of Christ. Augustine of Hippo wrote in a letter: "And as Jonah suffered this for the sake of those who were endangered by the storm, so Christ suffered for the sake of those who are tossed on the waves of this world."

Attribution

An inscription on the vault clearly states: "PETRUS/VAN LINT/(AN)T(VE)RP(ENSIS)/COLOR(IBU)S/P()R()T()S FEC(IT)/PETR(US) PAUL(US) DREUS/ROM(ANUS) ORNA/MENTA ARCH/ITE(C)T(URAE) DELIN(EAVIT)/AN(NO) SALUT(I)S/[...]", referring to Pieter van Lint (and also Pietro Paolo Drei). The year of the execution is missing due to a lacuna but a very fine preparatory study for the figure of Jonah, preserved in the Fondation Custodia, bears the date of 1637. In spite of the unambiguous painted statement, which was certainly meant as an advertisement for the two masters, the true authorship of the work became obfuscated. Some later Italian descriptions - in 1713, 1725 and 1741 - only speak of a fiammingo artist suggesting that Van Lint's name was not generally known at the time. In 1674 the paintings were erroneously attributed to Luigi Gentile by Filippo Titi and this mistake was often repeated in later literature.

Notwithstanding this confusion the frescos of the chapel were created by Pieter van Lint, a little-known Flemish artist who "proved to be a highly educated painter from a visual standpoint, deeply absorbing models of Italian painting, especially that of the Emilian school". The soft chromatic passages and the peaceful landscapes show the influence of Domenichino and Guido Reni.

Burial vault

The tomb slab is set in the middle of the tiled floor. The Latin inscription states that Count Soderini, a Roman patrician, restored the derelict chapel of the crucifix in 1825. The circular slab with the Soderini coats-of-arms is surrounded by six winged skulls in typical Baroque fashion. Possibly parts of the slab are older than the 18th century. At the entrance of the chapel the solid 15th-century Renaissance marble parapet is decorated with vases, cornucopias and the Cybo symbols.

Indulgence tablet

Outside the chapel a slab with an inscription on the left pillar informs us about an indulgence granted by Pope Gregory XIII to the chapel in 1576. Mass celebrated at the altar for the dead will free their souls from the Purgatory. The black marble slab is set in a white stone frame decorated with volutes and a winged angel. It is crowned with an arched broken pediment and the coat-of-the-arms of the pope.

title: JoAnne A. Epps

text:
JoAnne Adrienne Epps (May 28, 1951 – September 19, 2023) was an American legal scholar and academic. After serving as the executive vice president and provost of Temple University, she was the university's 13th president.  She was the first Black woman to be permanently appointed and serve as President of the University.

Early life and education
Joanne Adrienne Epps, the daughter of a machinist and her mother was an administrator at Temple’s Tyler School of Art, (then in Elkins Park). She was born on May 28, 1951, and grew up in Cheltenham, Pennsylvania, graduating from Cheltenham High School in 1969. She was recruited as a promising African-American student to enroll in Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, where she became a member of the first class of women at that school.

Epps received a B.A. in 1973 from Trinity and a J.D. in 1976 from Yale Law School.

Career
Epps began her legal career in 1976, as a deputy city attorney in Los Angeles. She moved back to Philadelphia in 1980, and became an assistant United States attorney. She joined Temple Law School as a faculty member in 1985, and then served as associate dean for academic affairs from 1989 to 2008. In 2009, she was named as a potential Barack Obama Supreme Court candidate. She served as dean of Temple University Beasley School of Law from 2008 to 2016 before becoming provost. She became acting president in 2023, following the resignation of Jason Wingard.

Epps' primary areas of teaching included criminal procedure, evidence, and trial advocacy. She taught Litigation Basics, a course for first-year law students at Temple. National Jurist named Epps one of the 25 most influential leaders in legal education, and her work on curricula and experiential learning in legal education served as inspiration for a new center at Temple Law School for training on accessing civil justice (the Stephen and Sandra Sheller Center for Social Justice). Epps trained Sudanese lawyers who represented victims of the war in Darfur, as well as prosecutors for the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda.

After her death, Temple's Board of Trustees posthumously named Epps university president, removing "acting" from her title.

Personal life and death
Epps was married to L. Harrison Jay, a longtime employee in Temple's community affairs office. They lived in Shamong Township, New Jersey.

On September 19, 2023, Epps was onstage at a memorial service for Charles L. Blockson at Temple's Performing Arts Center, when she abruptly fell ill and lost consciousness in her seat. She was taken to Temple University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at age 72. A colleague announcing her death described her illness as a "sudden episode".

title: 2014–15 Belgian Second Division

text:
The 2014–15 season of the Belgian Second Division (also known as Belgacom League for sponsorship reasons) began on 1 August 2014 and ended on 26 April 2015.

 Westerlo were promoted as champions of the previous season.
 Mouscron-Péruwelz were promoted after winning the promotion playoffs.
 Visé were relegated to the Third Division after finishing 18th.
 Hoogstraten were relegated to the Third Division after losing the relegation playoffs.
 RWDM Brussels folded as a team.
 Boussu Dour Borinage were in financial trouble and sold their football license to Seraing United. Boussu Dour was renamed Francs Borains and themselves bought the license of a team playing in the Belgian Fourth Division.

Team information

Regular season

League table

Period winners
Like before, the season was divided into three periods. The first ten matchdays together form the first period, matchdays 11 to 22 form period two and the last 12 form period three. The three period winners take part in the Belgian Second Division play-offs together with the winner of the 2014–15 Belgian Pro League relegation playoff. The winner of this final round gets to play in the 2015–16 Belgian Pro League.

During the tenth matchday on 5 October 2014, Oud-Heverlee Leuven won the first period and thereby was the first to qualify for the final round. They were joined by Sint-Truiden, who clinched the second period during matchday 21 on 21 December 2014, by obtaining a five-point lead with only one match to go. Lommel United clinched the third period title on the final matchday, as they lost to Sint-Truiden but Eupen came three goals short of overtaking them on goal difference. Eupen did however get to take part in the Belgian Second Division play-offs as Sint-Truiden were already promoted by virtue of winning the title.

title: Dominica national cricket team

text:
The Dominica national cricket team represents the country of Dominica in cricket. The team is not a member of the International Cricket Council, but the Dominica Cricket Association is a member of the Windward Islands Cricket Board of Control, which itself is a member association of the West Indies Cricket Board, and players from Dominica generally represent the Windward Islands cricket team at domestic level and the West Indies at international level. Dominica has however played as a separate entity in matches which held Twenty20 status, but has not appeared in first-class or List A cricket. The team's captain, as of December 2013, is Liam Sebastien.

History
A Dominica cricket team first appeared in West Indian cricket in the 1912/13 Hesketh Bell Shield against Saint Kitts at the Antigua Recreation Ground. The team is next recorded playing twelve years later in the 1925/26 Hesketh Bell Shield, with Dominica playing in the Shield until 1932, later playing in the Cork Windward Islands Challenge Cup in 1938 and 1939. In 1930, Merril Anthony became the first recorded person to have played for Dominica to play first-class cricket when he appeared for British Guiana. There is a long gap between 1939 and Dominica's next recorded appearance, which came in the 1965 Windward Islands Tournament against Saint Kitts. By this time the Windward Islands were playing matches which held first-class status, with Windsor Park playing host to the team's fourth first-class fixture in 1965 against the Leeward Islands. Dominica continued to play in the Windward Islands Tournament, and from 1975 its successor, the Heineken Trophy. Their participation in the tournament (under various names) continued into the 1990s, with matches home throughout this period being held mostly at the Windsor Park.

Having played in regional tournaments throughout the early to mid 2000s, Dominica were invited to take part in the 2006 Stanford 20/20, whose matches held official Twenty20 status. They played one match in the tournament, a 6 wicket defeat to Grenada. Two years later, they were invited to take part in the 2008 Stanford 20/20, playing two matches in the tournament, defeating the British Virgin Islands in the preliminary round, before losing to Barbados in the following round. These matches mark Dominica's only major appearances in cricket.

title: Casa Casuarina

text:
Casa Casuarina, also known as the Versace Mansion, is an American property built in 1930, renowned for being owned by and the place of the murder of the Italian fashion designer Gianni Versace; he lived there from 1992 until his death in 1997. It is located at 1116 Ocean Drive in the South Beach neighborhood of Miami Beach, Florida, in the Miami Beach Architectural District. Since 2015, it has been adapted into and operates as a luxury boutique hotel known as The Villa Casa Casuarina.

History

Alden Freeman
Casa Casuarina was built in 1930 by Ronin Wolf in the Mediterranean Revival style for Alden Freeman (1862–1937), a philanthropist bachelor who was heir to a Standard Oil fortune. It is rumored that during construction, a time capsule was hidden in one of the walls.

Freeman said the structure was modeled on the Alcázar de Colón, with its Coralline rock blocks. A block from the Alcázar de Colón structure is located on the right side of the main entrance. Addison Mizner designed the interior, including the use of key lime coral flooring.

The name translates to "house of the Australian pine". Commentators suggest that it was named after a W. Somerset Maugham novel, Under the Casuarina Tree, or maybe refers to a tree on the lot that survived the 1926 Miami hurricane.

Major architecture features included an observatory and a small replica of the Homage Tower from the Fortaleza Ozama in the Dominican Republic. About 100 medallions of notable political figures, including Lenin, Mussolini, and Julius Caesar, are installed on the walls.

Freeman was the son of Joel Francis Freeman (1836–1910), who served as treasurer of Standard Oil. The younger Freeman lived in the house with his adopted son Charles Boulton and Boulton's family. He died at the house on December 29, 1937.

Amsterdam Palace
Jacques Amsterdam acquired the house for $100,000 and converted it into a 24-unit apartment building, naming it The Amsterdam Palace. It changed hands several times and was renamed as the Christopher Columbus Apartments, in commemoration of its architectural features referring to Mediterranean style.

Gianni Versace

Gianni Versace bought the house for $2.95 million in 1992. He restored the original name and returned it to private use, creating 8 bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 3 sitting rooms, 10 bathrooms, a bar, a library, and 4 living rooms. He installed modern systems, including central air conditioning. In 1993, Versace bought the adjoining Revere Hotel to the south for $3.7 million, which he tore down to make a pool and garden area for his house. Versace commissioned Sir Roy Strong, an English art historian and landscape designer, to work on creating the garden. He also had created gardens at Versace's Villa Fontanelle on Lake Como in Italy.

On July 15, 1997, Versace was shot dead in front of the house by Andrew Cunanan.

Post-Versace
In 2000, the mansion was purchased by Peter Loftin for $19 million. He renovated the property for use as a boutique hotel, restaurant, and luxury event space. The restaurant was Il Sole at The Villa Casa Casuarina.

The mansion was bought by VM South Beach LLC (owned by the Nakash family) for $41.5 million in 2013. Since 2015, The Villa Casa Casuarina has been a luxury hotel with ten unique suites. The gourmet restaurant Gianni's is housed there.

title: Black Panther (wrestler)

text:
Dark Panther (born 1998) is the ring name of a Mexican luchador enmascarado (or masked professional wrestler), currently working for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). He portrays a tecnico ("Good guy") wrestling character. His real name is not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. He is the son of Genaro Vazquez Nevarez, better known as Blue Panther, and is a brother of wrestler Blue Panther Jr. and Chachorro Lagunero. Initially wrestling in secret under the ring name Silver, he adopted his father's former ring name Cachorro (Spanish for "Cub") in 2014, which played off the Blue Panther name. He has since changed his ring on three more occasions: firstly to The Panther (2014–2018), secondly to Black Panther (2018–2021), and then to his current ring name in 2021.

Personal life
Black Panther is a son of professional wrestler, Genaro Vazquez Nevarez, better known under the ring name Blue Panther and a brother of Blue Panther Jr. and Chachoro Lagunero. His full given name is not a matter of public record in accordance with Lucha libre traditions where the true identity of masked wrestlers is kept private whenever possible. Both of Nevarez' oldest sons were featured in interviews around their father well before they became professional wrestlers, their names were never explicitly stated and they always wore the same Blue Panther mask that their father used to conceal their identifies and that of the then masked Nevarez. He is the cousin of Jesus Toral López, better known as Black Warrior, a long time wrestler. While he wanted to become a professional wrestler, his father disapproved of the idea, while his mother supported him from the beginning. In April 2020 a younger brother was introduced to the wrestling world, using the ring name Chachoro Lagunero ("The Lagunero Puppy"), wearing a version of his father's Blue Panther mask design.

Professional wrestling career

Early career
CMLL originally stated that the wrestler known as Black Panther made his professional wrestling debut in early 2014 when he began working under the "Cachorro" ring name, but later on revealed his true debut year as 2011. In 2020, Black Panther revealed that he began training for a professional wrestling career without his father knowing about it. He made his debut, wrestling as the masked character "Silver" without the knowledge of anyone in his family. When his father later discovered that his son was already a wrestler, he relented but asked his son to change his ring name to "Chachorro", like he himself has been known as early in his career. He was first introduced as "Cachorro" and wearing a black and white version of his father's Panther themed mask during a show to honor his father's 35th anniversary as a wrestler in the fall of 2013. At the time his older brother was also introduced to the wrestling world as Black Panther with a similar mask, but no announcement of his official CMLL debut date was given at the time.

Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre

Cachorro (2014)
Cachorro made his official in-ring debut under that name as one of 12 men to complete in Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre's 2014 La Copa Junior on January 1, 2014. All competitors were second, or third-generation wrestlers competing in a torneo cibernetico elimination match. Both Chachorro and Black Panther were on the rudo ("Bad guy") team to even out the numbers between the two sides. The match also included Canelo Casas, Dragon Lee, Hijo del Signo, Guerrero Negro Jr., Herodes Jr., Hombre Bala Jr., Oro Jr., Robin, Stigma and eventual tournament winner Super Halcón Jr. During the match Cachorro eliminated Dragon Lee, but was himself eliminated eighth by Super Halcón Jr. Following La Copa Junior both Cachorro and Black Panther stated to team up with their father for six-man tag team matches, with the trio being billed as Los Divinos Laguneros ("The divine from the Lagoon"). They quickly began to face La Dinastia Casas ("The Casas Dynasty"; El Felino and his two sons Tiger and Puma), continuing a long running storyline between Blue Panther and the Casas family. Later that month Cachorro entered the 2014 Torneo Gran Alternativa ("Great Alternative") tournament, which is an annual tag team tournament that has a wrestling rookie team up with an experienced wrestler for the tournament. Cachorro was teamed up with his father for the tournament, defeating the team of El Rebelde (rookie) and Averno in the first round before losing to Oro Jr. (rookie) and La Sombra in the second round of the tournament.

On March 23, Cachorro competed in a 16-man tornero cibernetico match, competing for one of eight spots in CMLL's annual En Busca de un Ídolo ("In search of an idol") tournament. Cachorro, along with Cavernario, Dragon Lee, Guerrero Negro Jr. Hechicero, Star Jr., Soberano Jr. and Super Halcón Jr. qualified for the tournament while Black Panther, Canelo Casas, El Rebelde, Espiritu Negro, Flyer, Herodes Jr., Metálico and Oro Jr. were all eliminated. The first round of the tournament saw Cachorro face off against all 7 opponents in a round-robin tournament format. After the matches each wrestler was given points by a panel of judges as well as points off an online poll. After the first round Cachorro ended up ranked third, winning four of the matches, gaining 216 points from the judges and 137 points from the online poll. In the second round of the tournament Cachorro only defeated eventual tournament Cavernario and ended up in 4th place, 3 points behind 3rd place and 55 points behind the highest point scorer. On August 25, it was announced that Cachorro would team up with fellow rookie Dragon Lee for the CMLL 81st Anniversary Show, marking Cachorro (and Dragon Lee's) first appearance at CMLL's Anniversary Show, the promotion's most important show of the year. They were scheduled to compete in the first match against the brother-duo of Puma and Tiger.

The Panther (2014–2018)

During a press conference on November 19, Cachorro announced that he was changing his ring name to "The Panther" and adopting a new mask as well. At the same press conference, Black Panther announced he was taking the name "Blue Panther Jr." On December 19, 2015 The Panther and Guerrero Maya Jr. teamed up to defeat La Comando Caribeño ("The Caribbean Commando"; Misterioso Jr. and Sagrado) to win the CMLL Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship, The Panther's first CMLL championship. In the fall of 2015 The Panther became involved in a storyline rivalry with Súper Comando, a low ranked masked rudo, part of a team known as Los Hombres del Camuflaje. Over the course of several months the two often faced off on opposite sides of tag team and six-man matches, often with Súper Comando targeting his younger opponent, tearing his mask to push the storyline that he wanted to teach the rookie a lesson.  In early December CMLL announced that Súper Comando and The Panther would joint 10 other wrestlers; Blue Panther Jr., Puma and Tiger, Cancerbero, Esfinge, Fuego, Pegasso, Raziel, Sangre Azteca and Tritón in the main event of the 2015 Infierno en el Ring show. The Infierno en el Ring match came down to Súper Comando and The Panther being the last two wrestlers in the steel cage, with The Panther forcing Súper Comando to submit. Afterwards Súper Comando was forced to unmask and announce his real name. In 2018, during a match on Arena Mexico's Tuesday show, the announcer kept calling The Panther "Black Panther", the first ring name of his brother.

Japan and United States (2016–current)
In January 2016, The Panther made his Japanese debut by taking part in the CMLL and New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) co-produced Fantastica Mania 2016 tour. On the fifth show of the tour, he and The Panther successfully defended the Arena Coliseo Tag Team Championship against Bobby Z and Okumura. On November 3, 2016 The Panther made his debut for the US based Ring of Honor (ROH) promotion at their Survival of the Fittest double show in Texas. On night one The Panther defeated Will Ferrara, Silas Young and Yohey to advance in the "Survival of the Fittest" tournament. On the following night he lost a six-way match when he was eliminated by Dalton Castle in a match that was won by Bobby Fish.

title: Mangrove rail

text:
The mangrove rail (Rallus longirostris) is a species of bird in subfamily Rallinae of family Rallidae, the rails, gallinules, and coots. It is found in Central and South America.

Taxonomy and systematics

The mangrove rail was described by the French polymath Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon in 1781 in his Histoire Naturelle des Oiseaux from a specimen obtained in French Guiana. The bird was also illustrated in a hand-colored plate engraved by François-Nicolas Martinet in the Planches Enluminées D'Histoire Naturelle which was produced under the supervision of Edme-Louis Daubenton to accompany Buffon's text.  Neither the plate caption nor Buffon's description included a scientific name but in 1783 the Dutch naturalist Pieter Boddaert coined the binomial name Rallus longirostris in his catalogue of the Planches Enluminées. The genus Rallus had been erected in 1758 by the Swedish naturalist Carl Linnaeus in the tenth edition of his Systema Naturae. The specific epithet longirostris combines the Latin longus meaning "long" and -rostris meaning "-billed".

The mangrove rail was formerly considered to be conspecific with what are now the Aztec rail (R. tenuirostris), Ridgway's rail (R. obsoletus), the king rail (R. elegans), and the clapper rail (R. crepitans), and more recently as conspecific with Ridgeway's and king rails. Worldwide taxonomic systems now agree that each of the five is a separate species based on a 2013 study that described their different genetics and morphologies. Many systems treat it as most closely related to Ridgway's rail.

Eight subspecies of mangrove rail are recognized:

 R. l. phelpsi Wetmore, 1941
 R. l. dillonripleyi Phelps Jr. & Aveledo, 1987
 R. l. margaritae Zimmer & Phelps, 1944
 R. l. pelodramus Oberholser, 1937
 R. l. longirostris Boddaert, 1783
 R. l. crassirostris Lawrence, 1871
 R. l. cypereti Taczanowski, 1878
 R. l. berryorum J.M. Maley, J.E. McCormack, W.L.E. Tsai, E.M. Schwab, J. Van Dort, R.C. Roselvy, & M.D. Carling, 2016

Description

The mangrove rail is about  long and weighs . It has a long, slender, and slightly decurved bill with a brownish maxilla and an orange-yellow mandible. Its legs are light orange-red. The sexes have the same plumage. Adults of the nominate subspecies R. l. longirostris have dull gray-brown upperparts with darker centers to the feathers. They have a white loral streak on their pale gray face, a whitish throat, tawny buff neck and breast with a white center to the belly, and black and white bars on the flanks. Juveniles are similar to adults but are darker and duller.

Subspecies R. l. phelpsi has a darker crown and upperparts and paler underparts than the nominate. R. l. margaritae is the darkest subspecies; it is smaller than the nominate and has bolder bars on the flanks. R. l. pelodramus is similar in size to margaritae but paler. The dark markings on the upperparts of R. l. cypereti are lighter than those of the nominate and the dark flank bars are also lighter.

Distribution and habitat

The mangrove rail is found discontinuously on the Pacific coast of Central America and the Pacific, Caribbean, and Atlantic coasts of South America. It inhabits coastal mangrove swamps and brackish and salt marshes. The subspecies are distributed thus:

 R. l. phelpsi Wetmore, 1941 – northeastern Colombia's La Guajira Department into northwestern Venezuela as far as Miranda state
 R. l. dillonripleyi Phelps Jr & Aveledo, 1987 – northeastern Venezuela's Sucre state
 R. l. margaritae Zimmer, JT & Phelps, 1944 – Margarita Island off the Venezuelan coast
 R. l. pelodramus Oberholser, 1937 – Trinidad
 R. l. longirostris Boddaert, 1783 – Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana
 R. l. crassirostris Lawrence, 1871 – Brazil from the Amazon estuary south to Santa Catarina state
 R. l. cypereti Taczanowski, 1878 – from Nariño Department in southwestern Colombia through Ecuador into Peru's Department of Tumbes
 R. l. berryorum Maley et al., 2016 - El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. The population in northwestern Costa Rica is believed to also belong to this subspecies.

Behavior

Movement

The mangrove rail is sedentary.

Feeding

The mangrove rail forages near cover, mostly at low tide and during the morning and early evening. It is believed to hunt by sight, probing sand and mud, tossing aside leaf litter to expose prey, catching small fish in shallow water, and scavenging dead fish. It has a very diverse diet that includes animal prey such as crustaceans (especially crabs and crayfish), molluscs, leeches, aquatic and terrestrial insects, fish, and amphibians. It also feeds on plant matter such as seeds, berries, and tubers, especially in winter.

Breeding

The mangrove rail's breeding season varies geographically but in most areas includes May and June. It makes a nest of sticks and dead leaves near water on the ground or in vegetation. The clutch size is three to seven eggs. Both sexes incubate the eggs for the period of 18 to 29 days.

Vocalization

The mangrove rail's main vocalization is a "[l]oud clattering 'kek-kek-kek…'" that accelerates and then slows; it makes this call mostly at dawn and dusk. Both sexes make "a series of loud, rapid 'kak' notes" as an "advertising call". Another call is a "drawn-out low 'raaaaa'."

Status

The IUCN has assessed the mangrove rail as being of Least Concern. It has a very large range but its population size is not known and is believed to be decreasing. No immediate threats have been identified. A longer term threat is "the degradation and loss of mangroves and other wetland habitats."

title: Ejecta (film)

text:
Ejecta is a 2014 Canadian science fiction horror film directed by Chad Archibald and Matt Wiele. The film's script was written by Tony Burgess and stars Julian Richings as a man that has experienced an extraterrestrial encounter. Ejecta had its world premiere on August 3, 2014 at Fantasia Festival and Canadian film rights were purchased by Anchor Bay Canada.

Synopsis
Filmmaker Joe Sullivan becomes excited when he receives an email from famously reclusive alien abductee William Cassidy.  Believing that Cassidy wishes to grant him an exclusive interview, Sullivan travels to the address given.  Along the way, he sees military vehicles, including tanks.  When Sullivan arrives, Cassidy is uncooperative.  Cassidy claims to have never heard of Sullivan and to have never sent an email, though he eventually relents to an interview.  After briefly attempting to describe the psychological torture he suffered from his abduction, Cassidy explains that an upcoming solar flare, and the resulting coronal mass ejection, will disrupt all electronic devices on Earth.

Some time later, soldiers raid the house and wound Cassidy as they take him into custody.  Cassidy wakes in a military bunker.  After soldiers rough up Cassidy, Dr. Tobin enters and interrogates him.  When he refuses to answer her questions, she orders the soldiers to hit him.  Soldiers retrieve Sullivan's footage, and Tobin watches it while she waits for soldiers to retrieve alien torture devices.  In the footage, Sullivan and Cassidy further discuss Cassidy's abduction, and Cassidy explains how he has woken up in various distant places after blackouts, including floating on top of water and apparently having dissected a horse.  When Sullivan's footage shows a UFO crash land, Tobin orders the soldiers to investigate.

The first alien torture device reveals memories from victims, though it destroys their consciousness.  The device fails to affect Cassidy, and the feedback kills Tobin's assistant, Heather.  Impressed, Tobin tells Cassidy that he is the first person to survive the device intact.  As soldiers retrieve a second device, Cassidy and Tobin watch more of Sullivan's footage.  In it, an alien chases Sullivan and Cassidy back to Cassidy's house, where they barricade themselves in the attic.  After arming themselves with a shotgun, they shoot and kill the alien.  Over Sullivan's protestations, Cassidy dissects the alien and finds it contains the same kind of mind-control implant used on himself.

Tobin reveals humanity was contacted by aliens 1300 years ago and have been attempting to reestablish contact since then.  The second alien torture device proves similarly ineffective.  In an alien voice, Cassidy says they will all suffer – Tobin most of all.  Tobin gloats that they killed an alien 60 years ago and shoots Cassidy in the head, killing him; at the same time, Heather rises from the dead and repeats the same threat.  Tobin shoots her, too.  The soldiers encounter Sullivan, wound him, and after discovering that he is still alive, take him to the bunker under Tobin's orders.  When Sullivan's final footage reveals he was abducted as he escaped the military raid, Tobin becomes worried and orders the soldiers to abort.  In response, all she hears are their screams as they die.

Cassidy revives from the dead, and Tobin begs him to help her.  Cassidy tells her the aliens like him but caused him to suffer unimaginably; he can not conceive of what they will do to her.  Tobin watches video surveillance feeds helplessly as Sullivan, possessed by the aliens, kills all the soldiers in the bunker.  When Sullivan reaches Tobin and Cassidy, Cassidy pleads with him to remove the implant.  Sullivan retrieves a glowing ball of energy from Cassidy's head, killing Cassidy, and places it in Tobin's head, which begins to glow.  As government reinforcements arrive, a stricken Tobin raises her pistol to her head and commits suicide.  She suddenly jerks awake again, and unsuccessfully makes another attempt, having finally emptied her magazine.  In his house, Sullivan records a video blog where he complains the trip was a waste of his time, as nothing happened.

Cast

Reception
Dread Central praised Ejecta for its script, writing "On the surface Ejecta is a twisting tale of sci-fi horror involving shadowy figures, terrestrial or otherwise; but Burgess, never one to spoon feed you answers, slides in the subtext in an almost inconspicuous manner, compelling the viewer to truly think about what they just watched." Shock Till You Drop also praised Burgess's script in their review and stated that while the film's aliens "do bring some scares, the real horror is the way it toys with the mortality of people and the planet."

title: Kopren Waterfall

text:
Kopren Waterfall () is the second highest waterfall in Serbia. It is located on Stara Planina mountain in southeast Serbia and  high. Between 16 June 2011, when it was measured, and 9 June 2012, when the waterfall Kaluđerski Skokovi was measured, Kopren was considered the highest waterfall in Serbia.

Location

The Kopren waterfall is situated in the area of the Dojkinci village, northeast of the city of Pirot, to which it administratively belong. The waterfall is located under the Kopren peak of the Stara Planina mountain. The peak is  high, while the waterfall is at an altitude of .

Characteristics

The Kopren waterfall is  high,  long, with and average inclination of 56,4 degrees. It is located on the stream of Dabidžin potok, not far from its spring. The stream itself is the main headwater of the Jelovička river which flows into the Dojkinička river. The waterfall consists of several cascades, ranging from few to over 40 meters. Some  meters below the lowest cascade, there is another waterfall. It is visually estimated to be  tall, but has not been measured yet.

History

The waterfall was discovered in May 2011 by Dragovan Stojadinović. On 16 June 2011 it was measured by Sašа Milanović from the University of Belgrade's Faculty of mining and geology, who measured many other of the highest waterfalls in Serbia. When measured, it was the highest known waterfall in Serbia. On 9 June 2012, the Kaluđerski Skokovi waterfall, also on the Stara Planina was measured to be  high, but Kopren for now remains the waterfall on the highest altitude.

Developments in the recent two decades completely changed the geography of Serbia, when it comes to waterfalls. Area of the Stara Planina has always been sparsely populated and inaccessible because of the rugged and forested terrain, but is also a location of the Serbian-Bulgarian border. When armies relinquished the borders keeping to the police, civilians were allowed to explore the area. As a result, higher and higher waterfalls have been discovered on the Stara Planina since then: Čungulj in 1996 - ; Pilj in 2002 - ; Kopren in 2011 - ; Kaluđerski Skokovi in 2012 - .

title: Sun Moon Lake Wen Wu Temple

text:
The Sun Moon Lake Wen Wu Temple () is a Wen Wu temple located on the perimeter of Sun Moon Lake in Yuchi Township, Nantou County, Taiwan.

History
Previously, two temples were located on the coast of Sun Moon Lake. In 1919, the Japanese colonial government constructed a dam to generate hydroelectric power, causing the lake's water level to rise. The two temples were subsequently torn down and consolidated at the temple's present location in 1938.

After the Japanese handed over Taiwan to the Republic of China in 1945, the government invested in developing tourism around the lake. Wen Wu temple was rebuilt again in 1969, increasing its size and constructing it in the Chinese palace style.

Architecture

The temple consists of three halls. The first hall, located on the second floor of the front hall, is a shrine devoted to the First Ancestor Kaiji and the God of Literature. The central hall is devoted to Lord Guan, the Martial God, and another Martial God, Lord Yue. The rear hall is dedicated to Confucius. Chinese guardian lions are located in front of the temple, one male and one female. Lions have not been found at Wen Wu Temples in Mainland China.

Transportation
The temple is accessible by bus from Taipei Railway Station, Taichung TRA station, or THSR Taichung Station.

title: Hugh Taylor (MP)

text:
Hugh Taylor (1817–1900) was a British Conservative Party Member of Parliament, a colliery owner with interests in the shipping industry.

Early life
Hugh Taylor was born in Shilbottle in Northumberland in 1817. He was partly educated at the Royal Jubilee School, New Road, Newcastle. His first career as a mariner was short-lived and he became a became a partner in a house of coal factors, in London; and, subsequently, in several very extensive collieries in the North of England, including Haswell, Ryhope, Backworth, Holywell near Seaton Delaval, and East and West Cramlington, as well as in many mines in South Wales.

Personal life
In 1842 Taylor married Mary, the daughter of Thomas Taylor of Cramlington Hall.

In 1862 Taylor bought Chipchase Castle in Northumberland, which in 2014 is still owned by his descendants.
The above Hugh Taylor’s father was John Taylor of Shilbottle, who died in 1825 aged 46.
Hugh Taylor (1789-1868; he never married) was the brother of the deceased John Taylor.

Political career
In 1852, he successfully contested the borough of Tynemouth for the Conservative party, defeating Ralph Gray (the sitting Whig MP) by 12 votes. However it was found his supporters had been bribing the voters, and he was duly unseated the following year.

He won the seat in 1859 but it seems his political sympathies were certainly leaning towards the Liberal Party, as he voted with them on a number of issues. Hansard records a couple of contributions to maritime debates. He resigned in 1861 and returned to business.

George Hudson
Taylor and George Elliot were both friends of the Railway King George Hudson. By 1869 Hudson was deeply in debt, in bad health and living in exile, so Taylor and Elliot started a subscription fund which they launched with donations of 100 Guineas each. When this closed it was converted into a trust fund (legally protected from Hudson's creditors) which provided Hudson with an income. Hudson returned to England in 1870, and visited Taylor at Chipchase Castle in April that year.
