title: Malvina Cheek

text:
Malvina Cheek, A.R.C.A., (8 July 1915 – 22 May 2016) was a British artist, best known for her work during World War II for the Recording Britain project. During the War she was commissioned for Recording Britain to make architectural records of old buildings in anticipation of their possible destruction. Eighteen finished works were presented to the scheme and her legacy is also preserved in many books.

Early life
Malvina Cheek was born at Hampton on Thames, the younger of two daughters of Percy Ebsworth Cheek, a banker with Glynn Mills, later Coutts (d. 1954) and Jessie, née Cross. Her Christian name comes down through her paternal family originating with a Belgian ancestor. After leaving St Philomena’s, a Catholic school near Carshalton, she studied at Wimbledon School of Art and then at the Royal College of Art. Like many students of her generation she was influenced by the draftsman and engraver Robert Sargent Austin.

Cheek gained her RCA Diploma in 1938. She taught for two days a week at the Central School of Art and was evacuated with the school to Luton during the Second World War. In Luton she continued to teach and also worked for a Blood Transfusion Unit at the local hospital, later moving to St Albans, where the art school was rapidly establishing itself as a centre of excellence. She would return to London for the weekend, a hazardous journey since there had to be total darkness on the trains to comply with the Blackout restrictions.

World War Two
An introduction to Arnold Palmer resulted in Cheek receiving several commissions from the Recording Britain project: the counties she was allocated included Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire, Staffordshire and Cornwall. The Victoria & Albert Museum holds 14, while three Bedfordshire and one Cornish watercolour are still missing. Cheek was especially intrigued by Mow Cop, below the hill on which Primitive Methodism was founded in 1810.

The numerous participating artists in the scheme exhibited at the National Gallery, which had been emptied of its own collection. These exhibitions and the handsome four volume hardback set published just after the war by the Oxford University Press, partly financed by the Pilgrim Trust from the USA, enhanced these artists' reputations both at home and abroad. In 1943 and 1944 Cheek exhibited at the Royal Academy, where a painting entitled Blood Donors was sold but unfortunately its present location is not known. In September 1944 the War Artists' Advisory Committee purchased, for six guineas, the picture Suburban Flying-bomb Damage from Cheek.

In 1945 a painting entitled Study of American soldiers standing outside, the Rainbow Corner, North London, was sold to James Bussy of Sheffield. Her work in portraiture continued apace and one of the most characteristic paintings, which remained in her own collection, was that of her father, Percy Ebsworth Cheek, in his ARP helmet. She described how everyone was so debilitated towards the end of war – “not eating properly didn’t help their health and confidence was extremely shaken”.

Post-war
After the War, two further topographical books, illustrated by her exclusively, were published for the Visions of England series by Paul Elek: The Black Country, by Walter Allen in 1946 and Derbyshire, by Nellie Kirkham, in 1947. In 1944, Cheek began to teach at St Albans School of Art, in what was considered to be a very informal art college: in 1947 she was appointed to teach permanently in the painting school, usually the preserve of men. She continued to teach there until she became, briefly, a full-time senior lecturer in the Graphic Design School at Twickenham College of Technology.

Cheek settled in Hampstead. There, her continued enthusiasm for the initiative set by Recording Britain, led her to sketch many local London vistas. Two particularly fine examples are Bombed Building, Weatherall House, Well Walk NW3 being knocked down of 1948 and Hampstead Heath Station and Magdala Pub 1949 are now in the collection of the Hampstead Museum at Burgh House, just up the hill from where her family still live. Cheek shared a house on Church Row in Hampstead village with fellow artist Olive Cook in the late 1940s.

In 1950, she was asked to design the sets for The Atom Secrets, a play for the toy theatre by George Speaight. To commemorate this Pollock’s Museum Trust published a greetings card showing The Cabin of the Lucy for Scene III in 2003, with the encouragement of Alan Powers. Cheek contributed illustrations to articles in various magazines, notably Far and Wide. In 1952 she wrote and illustrated an article on ships' figureheads for Collins Magazine.

Cheek became a member of the Society of Industrial Artists, Illustrators Group (MSIA) in 1957, having contributed to their Biennial review in 1949.  Amongst her early students from St Albans as well as Ronald Maddox was David Gentleman, and from various other establishments were John Raynes, Stanley Smith, Albany Wiseman and Ian Sidaway. Cheek also exhibited in the Allied International Artists (AIA) group exhibitions, with the Royal Society of British Artists, the Royal Watercolour Society and the New English Art Club.

Painting Styles
Fresh, primary colours characterise her work of the 60s and 70s: highlights of red abound in her still lifes and portraits: pots of geraniums, a summer hat, the costume of an Indian wooden marionette.  Trees were always important sources of subject matter, the pear tree in the garden of Christchurch Hill features from the moment they moved to Hampstead.  In her later career a series of large canvases, painted with a rich brownish palette reflect her interest in spiritualism, Freud and Jung in particular. While she was growing up her father had not encouraged a religious leaning in his household and she may have found an equally cool reception from her husband, an atheist, for this work but there is an unmistakable passion/ambition therein.

In 2009 an anthology of her poems, The Silent Fairground was published and a review written by Piers Plowright for the Camden New Journal. In autumn of 2013 an exhibition was held at Burgh House.

title: Lewis Strange Wingfield

text:
Lewis Strange Wingfield (1842–1891) was an Irish traveller, actor, writer, and painter.

Life
The third and youngest son of Richard Wingfield, 6th Viscount Powerscourt, by his wife, Lady Elizabeth Frances Charlotte, eldest daughter of Robert Jocelyn, 3rd Earl of Roden, he was born on 25 February 1842, and educated at Eton College and Bonn University. He was intended for the army, but gave up the career at the request of his mother, after her second marriage to Frederick Stewart, 4th Marquess of Londonderry the Marchioness of Londonderry. He then had many occupations.

Actor
On 21 August 1865 Wingfield was at the Haymarket Theatre Roderigo to the Othello of Ira Aldridge, the Iago of Walter Montgomery, and the Desdemona of Madge Robertson. He had previously played in the burlesque Ixion (F. C. Burnand). Reputed adventures were going to The Derby in blackface, spending nights in workhouses and pauper lodgings, and becoming an attendant in a lunatic asylum and prison.

Journalist
During the Franco-Prussian War Wingfield went to Paris, where he stayed through the siege, attending the wounded and qualifying as a surgeon. During the siege he communicated by balloon and otherwise with The Times, the Daily Telegraph, and other newspapers. After returning to London he went back to Paris immediately on hearing of the Paris commune, and remained there until its suppression by French troops.

Artist
Having taken a house, No. 8 Maida Vale, with a large studio attached, Wingfield concentrated on painting, and became a member of the Royal Hibernian Academy. Between 1869 and 1875 he exhibited four domestic scenes at the Royal Academy, and one at the Suffolk Street Gallery. He planned during his stay in Paris for a panorama of the siege to be exhibited in London, and forwarded to England designs executed by various French artists. The failure of an American financier brought the scheme to nothing.

Theatrical designer

After abandoning painting, Wingfield took to designing costumes for the theatre, and was responsible for the dressing of Shakespearean revivals, including Romeo and Juliet at the Lyceum Theatre for Mary Anderson, and Antony and Cleopatra at the Princess's Theatre for Lily Langtry. For a time Wingfield contributed theatrical criticisms to The Globe newspaper, as "Whyte Tyghe".

Traveller, and last years
Wingfield was one of the first Britons to journey into the interior of China, in 1880, visiting Hong Kong, Fuzhou, Shanghai, Suzhou, Tianjin with side trips. He went on to Tokyo, and brought home a life-size figure of a mounted Japanese soldier in armour.

Wingfield also worked as a war correspondent, embedded with the military staff. He joined the British Army in the Sudan in 1884, but was then long in hospital in Egypt, and never quite regained his health. He voyaged to Australia; and died at 14 Montague Place, London (where he had moved from Mecklenburgh Square), on 12 November 1891, and was buried in Kensal Green cemetery.

Works
Wingfield's first published work was Under the Palms in Algeria and Tunis, 1868, 2 vols. For Helena Modjeska he adapted Schiller's play Mary Stuart, produced at the Royal Court Theatre on 9 October 1880. He also wrote some unacted dramas. He published in various literary genres (some of these works reached second editions):

 Slippery Ground, a novel in 3 vols., appeared in 1876;
 Lady Grizzle: an Impression of a momentous Epoch, 1878, 3 vols.;
 My Lords of Strogue: a Chronicle of Ireland from the Convention to the Union, 1879, 3 vols.;
 For Good or Evil appeared in Eros; Four Tales, vol. i. 1880;
 In Her Majesty's Keeping, 1880, 3 vols.;
 Gehenna, or Havens of Unrest, 1882, 3 vols.;
 Abigail Rowe: a Chronicle of the Regency’ 1883, 3 vols.;
 Notes on Civil Costume in England, 1884;
 Barbara Philpot: a Study of Manners, 1886, 3 vols.;
 Lovely Wang: a Bit of China, 1887;
 The Curse of Koshin: a Romance, 1888;
 Wanderings of a Globe-trotter in the Far East, 1889; and
 The Maid of Honour: a Tale of the Dark Days of France, 1891, 3 vols.

Wingfield was also responsible for Her English Dress, lectures issued by the International Health Exhibition, 1884.

Family
Wingfield married, on 16 June 1868, Cecilia Emma, fourth daughter and fifth child of John Wilson Fitzpatrick, 1st Baron Castletown.

title: Khoso caretaker ministry

text:
The Khoso caretaker ministry was the Pakistani caretaker federal cabinet that was sworn into office on 2 April 2013. On 24 March 2013, Mir Hazar Khan Khoso was nominated by the Election Commission as the caretaker prime minister, out of four nominees coming from both the opposition and the dissolved government. Khoso was sworn into office on 25 March 2013.

Cabinet

2013
Khoso's cabinet was sworn into office on 2 April 2013, but were handed their official portfolios on 4 April 2013 with the exception of Sohail Wajahat Siddique, who received his portfolio at a later date.

At the swearing-in ceremony on 2 April 2013, 15 ministers were shortlisted for the cabinet but one chair was removed at the "eleventh hour". Dr Mushtaq Khan from Sindh was touted to become the caretaker federal minister of finance but dropped out at the last minute. Speculations around his absence suggested that Khan was stopped from taking his oath because he had been serving as the chief economist at the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and would have had to resign from the SBP before taking an oath in the caretaker setup.

title: 1816 State of the Union Address

text:
The 1816 State of the Union Address was the last annual address given by President James Madison, the fourth president of the United States.

History
It was given on Tuesday, December 3, 1816.   It was read in Washington, D.C, addressed to both houses of Congress.  It was the 26th address given, given to the 14th United States Congress. The United States House of Representatives and Senate were addressed.

Description
To open the speech, Madison acknowledges the recent agricultural shortfall brought on by the Year Without a Summer:
In reviewing the present state of our country, our attention cannot be withheld from the effect produced by peculiar seasons; which have very generally impaired the annual gifts of the Earth, and threaten scarcity in particular districts.

International affairs
Madison then sets the stage with the recent conclusion of two wars, and the attendant "invigoration of industry." First, the "peace in Europe," referring to the downfall of Napoleon in 1815 and the beginning of what would be called the Pax Britannica. Second, the conclusion of the War of 1812, ushering in the period in the United States that would be called the Era of Good Feelings.

Despite the peaceful era, Madison regrets the weakness of American industry and international trade, noting that a "depression is experienced by particular branches of our manufactures, and by a portion of our navigation."

Nevertheless, Madison asserts that "we remain in amity with foreign powers," albeit with the qualification that an American ship was attacked by a Spanish one in the Gulf of Mexico, and that the state of affairs with Algiers is "not known." (But the relations with the other Barbary states have "undergone no change.")

As to the North American continent, Madison sees overall "tranquillity" in the affairs with Indians, happily promoting "civilization."
I am happy to add, that the tranquillity which has been restored among the Tribes themselves, as well as between them and our own population, favor the resumption of the work of civilization, which had made an encouraging progress among some Tribes; and that the facility is encreasing, for extending that divided and individual ownership, which exists now in moveable property only, to the soil itself, and of thus establishing in the culture and improvement of it; the true foundation for a transit from the habits of the Savage; to the arts and comforts of social life.

Domestic affairs
Madison then recommends reorganization of the militia, and urges progress on other domestic matters, including a standardization of weights and measures, establishing a university in Washington, DC, reform of the criminal justice system, enforcement against importing slaves, and reform of the executive branch bureaucracy.

Madison next addresses finances, noting a surplus of some nine million dollars in the treasury for 1816—that is, the difference between $47 million in revenue, and $38 million in expenditure. (The national nevertheless had over $100 million in debt.) Madison encourages reform of the monetary system to smooth the handling of the government's finances:
for the interests of the community at large, as well as for the purposes of the Treasury, it is essential that the nation should possess a currency of equal value, credit, and use, wherever it may circulate.

Peroration
Finally, Madison takes the opportunity to reflect on his years of service in government, thanking the citizens for their "support" and asserting that he is leaving the nation in a prosperous and peaceful state.
I can indulge the proud reflection, that the American people have reached in safety and success their fortieth year, as an independent nation; that for nearly an entire generation, they have had experience of their present constitution, the offspring of their undisturbed deliberations and of their free choice; that they have found it to bear the trials of adverse as well as prosperous circumstances; to contain in its combination of the federate and elective principles, a reconcilement of public strength with individual liberty, of national power for the defence of national rights, with a security against wars of injustice, of ambition or of vain glory, in the fundamental provision which subjects all questions of war to the will of the nation itself, which is to pay its costs, and feel its calamities.

Furthermore, Madison notes that the young nation has room to grow across the continent.

At the end of the speech, focusing on world peace, Madison hopes for a government that:
seeks, by appeals to reason, and by its liberal examples, to infuse into the law which governs the civilised world, a spirit which may diminish the frequency or circumscribe the calamities of war, and meliorate the social and beneficent relations of peace: A Government, in a word, whose conduct within and without, may bespeak the most noble of all ambitions, that of promoting peace on Earth, and good will to man.''

title: Nichols Memorial Library

text:
The Nichols Memorial Library is a historic library building on Main Street in Kingston, New Hampshire, United States.  Built in 1898, it is distinctive statewide as the only local library building exhibiting Shingle style and Richardsonian Romanesque features.  It was used as the town library until 2012, and now houses the town's research collection and archives.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981.

Description and history
The former Nichols Memorial Library building stands in the village center of Kingston, at the eastern corner of Main and Depot Streets.  The building is a single-story irregular stone structure with a red slate hip roof, and a fieldstone chimney at one side.  A semicircular section projects from the front facade, just to the right of the main entrance, which is sheltered under an eyebrow-gabled portico.  Window openings are generally square or rectangular and vary in size.  The largest of them have stained glass transoms depicting the marks of historic early bookmakers.

The building was designed by Dwight and Chandler of Boston and completed in 1898. It was built as a gift to the town by Kingston native J. Howard Nichols, a Boston industrialist and philanthropist. The building is distinctive statewide as the only local library building exhibiting Shingle style and Richardsonian Romanesque features. The building served as a library until 2012, when the library relocated to new quarters at 2 Library Lane. The building now serves as a research library, specializing in genealogical research, and is an extension of the Kingston Community Library, housing the town's archives and the Kingston Historical Museum's collections.

text:
Hila Sedighi is a poet, painter and social activist in Iran.

Life
Hila Sedighi was born in the year 1985 (1364) in Tehran. She spends her first year in Tehran, before moving to Istanbul, the city her father spent his teenage years in. Sedighi and her family remain in Istanbul until end of 1990. Back to Iran, she starts her primary education. In 1999, in 10th grade, she is chosen by the Supreme Council of the Ministry of Education as one of the two students in the country to receive a complimentary membership (that would last for the duration of her school life). That year, she also receives a membership from the Central foundation committee of ‘Hamseda’ youth club, and starts contributing to the 6th sector of Tehran, both socially and culturally. In addition, she becomes chief editor of the Shahre Bacheha (City of children) magazine, distributed in schools in Tehran's 6th sector.

In summer 2002, she establishes the Neyestan cultural literary association, becoming the youngest secretary of the national cultural literary association. Meetings of this organisation are held every quarter at the start, but progressively meetings are held monthly, up until spring 2009. Several contemporary poets and professors attend these events, and a wide range of musical groups perform. She contributes to the preparation of Dr. Shareaty's father's house museum.

In 2003, she joins university to study law.

In 2006, Hila Sedighi joins the Baran campaign, and mostly supports reformist candidates in the city council, parliament, and presidential elections. The Baran Foundation will continue its work until 2009.

In 2016, Hila Sedighi was arrested after her freedom speech in Iran.

Marriage
Hila Sedighi had a trip to India and Dubai in 2012 regarding the removal of her ban on leaving the country. In this trip, Hila met up with an old friend after more than 3 years, and decided to start a life with him. After her marriage, Hila and her husband are on a move between Tehran and Dubai.

Poetry
A recent development in contemporary Iranian literature has been the rise of poetry reading evenings, and video footage of public readings by Hila Sedighi is readily available on social networks.

Hila Sedighi has written “Autumn’s Rain” for oppressed students of Iran (Story of my missing classmate). Her poem "It's Green Again" is read for the 27th anniversary of Meena’s assassination.

Hasan Yousefi Ashkoury, in a note titled “There are a couple of streets from here to spring” analysed some of Hila Sedighi's poems. In a part of this note it is mentioned that “ Hila in these 2 poems, especially the first one has showed that she has the talent and to some extent has knowledge of ancient poetry techniques Most importantly, and happily, she is full of the natural “women” sense and feeling. The future of this yong poet is promising, hope that she finds success.
In the poem Gole Maryam (Maryam Flower) there are poetic and accurate references to the country's current status, as well as the political and cultural limitations forcing Iranians to migrate to other countries and remain there. whether we agree or disagree to these points (I myself agree with most), now it is not the time for me to discuss, since the purpose of this note is completely different. That “Different” is with all of the limitations and the bad situation of the country at the moment, the poet believes in a bright future and writes:
Maryam flower even if the clouds are black  / there are just a few streets from here to spring.
In reality she doesn't accept any reason to leave the country by choice, or even by force. Poets have a more open mind than others, and so the poet write although our homelands sky is filled with darkness and depression, a spring of fresh air and brightness is right around the corner.”
Masoud Behnoud also wrote an emotional note after Hila received her sentence. In this note, it is said that: “The poet must be wiped. The poet must be tied down. Otherwise, God forbid, the multi-million dollar thefts have to be tied with ropes. God forbid, those liars who got out people into this situation had to be tied, may this day never come.
the judge should have said for every line of poem, the poet has to be wiped every morning. A hit each day, So that the judge could have joined the group of judges in history who sent Masoud saad to prison. And those who tied down Farkhy Yazdi’s mouth, and killed him. So he is worth joining the ones who sent snipers to Mirzade eshghi, and Bahar, malekolshoara (king of poets)

Star season painting exhibition
After a few months later and in February 2012, Hila Sedighi organised an exhibition of her artwork on large format canvases. The exhibition saw massive interest from people from all over the country, and famous artist and political faces. Hila sedighi painted her real and surreal paintings with the help of pastel and spray paint.

Human Rights Watch Award
In 2012, Hila Sedighi is awarded by Human Rights Watch the Hellman-Hammett Grant, for Iran.

Recognition
In 2013 in Issaquah, Washington, USA, painter Farshad Alamdari held an exhibition titled “Women of Persia”. One of the paintings is a portrait of Hila Sedighi as an example of an influential face of modern Iran.

title: Iris reticulata var. bakeriana

text:
Iris reticulata var. bakeriana is a variety of Iris reticulata, a plant in the genus Iris. It is sometimes treated as Iris bakeriana, especially in the USA.

Description
The bulbs are more pointed and slender in shape than other reticulata irises in the genus.
It grows to about 10 cm tall, with a 5–6 cm tall flower.
It has bluish lilac standards and styles. Falls are white with deep blue tips, lines, and blotches. It also has pale blue veining.
This variety of iris has nearly cylindrical leaves unlike other reticulata species.
It blooms in early spring, normally February.

Biochemistry
As most irises are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes, this can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings. It has a chromosome count: 2n=20, counted by Johnson & Brandham in 1997.

Taxonomy
The Latin specific epithet reticulata refers to the Latin word for net, and bakeriana is in honor of the English botanist John Gilbert Baker.

It was originally found in Armenia near the city of Mardin(in Turkey).

It was originally described and published by Sir Michael Foster as Iris bakeriana in Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Tab. 7084. on November 1, 1889.

Then in Flora Iranica (1975) it was re-classified to be a variety of Iris reticulata by Wendelbo. This now is accepted by most botanists. Iris bakeriana (Foster) then become a synonym for the plant.
Although the United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service still class Iris bakeriana as a true species.

Iris reticulata var. bakeriana is an accepted name by the RHS.

Distribution and habitat
Iris reticulata var. bakeriana is native to the temperate areas of Asia, mainly Iran, Iraq and Turkey. It is found on rocky hillsides, with heavy clay soil.

Cultivation
It is suitable for a rock or gravel garden or front of border. It is hardy between USDA Zones 3–9.

Cultivars
Cultivars regarded as involving I. reticulata var. bakeriana include:
 'Pauline'
 'Purple Gem'
 'Gordon'
 'Clairette'
 'Melaina'
 'Spring Time'

title: North Hampton Library

text:
The Old North Hampton Library is a historic library building at 237 Atlantic Avenue in North Hampton, New Hampshire.  The small, single-story Tudor Revival structure was designed by Boston architect J. Lawrence Berry and built in 1907.  It was the town's first purpose-built library building, and was used as such until a new library was built nearby in 1973.  It presently houses town offices.  The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014, and the New Hampshire State Register of Historic Places in 2013.

Description and history
The former North Hampton Library building is located in a cluster of municipal buildings on the north side of Atlantic Avenue (New Hampshire Route 111), a short way east of its junction with Lafayette Road (U.S. Route 1).  It is a single-story structure, with fieldstone end walls and a side gable roof.  The front facade is fieldstone (a continuation of the foundation) up to the bottoms of the windows, and is then finished in a half-timbered effect above.  The main entrance is at its center, sheltered by projecting gabled portico with large timber brackets. It is flanked on the roof face by two eyebrow dormers.  An addition, built in 1955, extends to the building's rear. The town's modern library is set further back on the same lot.

North Hampton's public library was established in 1892, after the state passed enabling legislation encouraging the creation of such public facilities. The library collection was originally housed in the North Hampton Town Hall, and a drive to build a dedicated facility began in 1899.  Boston architect J. Lawrence Berry's first design, submitted in 1904, was rejected by the town meeting as too expensive to build, and the present design was accepted and built in 1907. A new library building was constructed in 1973, and this building has since housed town offices.

title: Iris hyrcana

text:
Iris hyrcana, the Hyrcana iris, is a plant species in the genus Iris, it is classified in the subgenus Hermodactyloides and section Reticulatae. It is a bulbous perennial from central Asia, from Azerbaijan to Iran.

Description
Iris hyrcana has spherical bulbs, that are coated with a solid brown fiberous network.

The leaves appear after flowering, it has  high stems.

In the Northern Hemisphere it blooms in the winter, between November and January, or sometimes in February. The flowers are around  wide. The flowers are much smaller than those of other Reticulata irises.

Like other irises, it has two pairs of petals, three large sepals (outer petals), known as the "falls", and three inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the "standards". They come in shades of blue, from clear blue, to dark blue and purple. The falls have a bright yellow ridge, or orange mark.

Biochemistry
As most irises are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes, this can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings.
It was counted as 2n=20,

Taxonomy
The specific epithet hyrcana, refers to Hyrcania, a historical region composed of the land south-east of the Caspian Sea in modern-day Iran.

In 1848, specimens of the plant were originally collected in Azerbaijan.
It was described and published in 'Flora Kavkaza' by Alexander Grossheim in 1928.

Iris hyrcana is now an accepted name by the RHS, and it was verified by United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 4 April 2003, then updated on 11 December 2024.

It is listed in 1995 in 'Vascular Plants of Russia and adjacent States (the former USSR)' by Czerepanov, S. K.

It was once though to be a variant of Iris reticulata, except Iris hyrcana has spherical bulbs where as Iris reticulata bulbs are drop shaped.

Distribution and habitat
Iris hyrcana is native to temperate areas of western Asia.

Range
Originally found in the Hyrcanian woods, along the southern coast of the Caspian Sea from Azerbaijan to Iran.

Habitat
It is found growing in the mountains along the Caspian Sea.

Cultivation
It prefers to grow in sunny sites, on rocky soils that dry out completely in summer.

As it is not very hardy, but it can withstand strong frosts of short duration. Although it is thought to be best grown in the UK and in America, within a bulb frame or alpine house, to keep the soils dry. It also needs a dry, summer dormancy of several months.

A specimen of Iris hyrcana won the Farrer Medal at the AGS Caerleon Show, in South Wales, shown by Bob and Rannveig Wallis.

Toxicity
Like many other irises, most parts of the plant are poisonous (rhizome and leaves), if mistakenly ingested can cause stomach pains and vomiting. Also handling the plant may cause a skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

It is a bulbous perennial from Antalya Province in Turkey, Asia. It has long narrow leaves, shorter stem holding a bi-coloured flower in shades of purple, blue or purple-brown, with a yellow, purple-spotted section on a petal.

Description
It has long and thin bulb, that has fine netted 'tunic', underneath are thick fleshy roots. There are short fine hairs at the base of the bulb as well as a few bulblets, which can grow into adult bulbs.

In spring, it has linear, narrow leaves, that look square-like when seen in cross section. When in flower, the leaves are between   tall. Later, the leaves extend up to , when in full growth. In the mesophyll (between the upper and lower layers of epidermis) of the leaves, hexagonal crystals have been found.

It has a stem that is between  tall, making it the 2nd tallest Hermodactyloide Iris after Iris tuberosa.

The stem has several green, inflated spathes (leaves of the flower bud).

It blooms in late winter-spring, or early spring. The slightly fragrant flowers, are  in diameter. They are carried on a stem (unlike other species in the subgenus), and are bi-coloured. They come in shades of purple, blue or purple-brown. Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'.

The narrowly oblanceolate shaped standards are , long and 0.6 cm wide, they are pale to deep blue, veined darker.

It has style branches which are 3.5 cm long, the bract same length as perianth tube at 2 cm long.

In 2017, a comparison was carried out on the morphological and anatomical properties of Iris masia and Iris pamphylica (another endangered Turkish endemic iris), it was found that the leaves of both taxa have xeromorphic structure.

Biochemistry
As most irises are diploid, having two sets of chromosomes, this can be used to identify hybrids and classification of groupings. It has a count of 2n = 20.

Taxonomy
It was published and described by Ian Charleson Hedge in 'Notes of the Roy. Bot. Gard. Edinburgh' Vol.23 on page 557 in 1961. It was also recorded in the Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society No.96 in 1971.

It has been named after the old name for the region of Turkey, Pamphylia. In Turkish, it is known as Akseki navruzu.

Distribution and habitat
It is native to temperate Asia.

Range
It is found in Turkey, within the Antalya Province (near Manavgat), and Mount Taurus.

Habitat
It is found in fields, and on the edges of oak forests, and open woodland on limestone soils.
It is normally found at  above sea level.

Conservation
It was on the 1997 IUCN Red List of Threatened Plants, and was listed in the 'endangered' category of the Red Data Book of Turkish Plants (Ekim et al., 2001). It needs legal protection of habitat and help with propagation, such as tissue culture techniques.

Cultivation
It likes to grow in loamy soils, and is hardy, but not as hardy as other bulbs in the series. It is suitable to grow in rock gardens or in pots.

Toxicity
Like many other irises, most parts of the plant are poisonous (rhizome and leaves), if mistakenly ingested can cause stomach pains and vomiting. Also handling the plant may cause a skin irritation or an allergic reaction.

Culture
In Turkey, it has featured on the 7,500,000 lira coin (as part of the Turkish flowers set, issued in 2002).

title: Anatole Katok

text:
Anatoly Borisovich Katok (; August 9, 1944 – April 30, 2018) was an American mathematician with Russian-Jewish origins. Katok was the director of the Center for Dynamics and Geometry at the Pennsylvania State University.
His field of research was the theory of dynamical systems.

Early life and education
Anatole Katok graduated from Moscow State University, from which he received his master's degree in 1965 and PhD in 1968 (with a thesis on "Applications of the Method of Approximation of Dynamical Systems by Periodic Transformations to Ergodic Theory" under Yakov Sinai). In 1978 he immigrated to the USA.  He was married to the mathematician Svetlana Katok, who also works on dynamical systems and has been involved with Katok in the MASS Program for undergraduate students at Penn State.

Work and research

While in graduate school, Katok (together with A. Stepin) developed a theory of periodic approximations of measure-preserving transformations commonly known as Katok—Stepin approximations. This theory helped to solve some problems that went back to von Neumann and Kolmogorov, and won the prize of the Moscow Mathematical Society in 1967.

His next result was the theory of monotone (or Kakutani) equivalence, which is based on a generalization of the concept of time-change in flows. There are constructions in the theory of dynamical systems that are due to Katok. Among these are the Anosov—Katok construction of smooth ergodic area-preserving diffeomorphisms of compact manifolds, the construction of Bernoulli diffeomorphisms with nonzero Lyapunov exponents on any surface, and the first construction of an invariant foliation for which Fubini's theorem fails in the worst possible way (Fubini foiled).

With Elon Lindenstrauss and Manfred Einsiedler, Katok made important progress on the Littlewood conjecture in the theory of Diophantine approximations.

Katok was also known for formulating conjectures and problems (for some of which he even offered prizes) that influenced bodies of work in dynamical systems. The best-known of these is the Katok Entropy Conjecture, which connects geometric and dynamical properties of geodesic flows. It is one of the first rigidity statements in dynamical systems. In the last two decades Katok has been working on other rigidity phenomena, and in collaboration with several colleagues, made contributions to smooth rigidity and geometric rigidity, to differential and cohomological rigidity of smooth actions of higher-rank abelian groups and of lattices in Lie groups of higher rank, to measure rigidity for group actions and to nonuniformly hyperbolic actions of higher-rank abelian groups.

Katok's works on topological properties of nonuniformly hyperbolic dynamical systems. It includes density of periodic points and lower bounds on their number as well as exhaustion of topological entropy by horseshoes. These were the topic of his lecture at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 1983, as well as the 1982 Rufus Bowen Memorial Lectures at University of California, Berkeley.

Katok's collaboration with his former student Boris Hasselblatt resulted in the book Introduction to the Modern Theory of Dynamical Systems, published by Cambridge University Press in 1995. This book is considered as encyclopedia of modern dynamical systems and is among the most cited publications in the area.

Anatole Katok was Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Modern Dynamics and a member of the editorial boards of multiple other prestigious publications, including Ergodic Theory and Dynamical Systems,  Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics, and Cambridge Studies in Advanced Mathematics.

Teaching
Katok held tenured faculty positions at three mathematics departments: University of Maryland (1978–1984), California Institute of Technology (1984–1990) and since 1990 at the Pennsylvania State University, where he held the Raymond N. Shibley professorship since 1996.  He had advised 44 PhD students on their thesis; the Mathematics Genealogy Project lists most of his PhD students, and 121 descendants.

Honors and recognition
In 1967 Katok was awarded a Moscow Mathematical Society for Young Mathematicians Prize (with A. Stepin and V. Oseledets). In 1983 he was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Warsaw (his talk was titled "Nonuniform hyperbolicity and structure of smooth dynamical systems"). Katok became a member of American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2004.  In 2012, he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.

title: Iris vartanii

text:
Iris vartanii is a plant species in the genus Iris. It is classified in the subgenus Hermodactyloides and section Reticulatae. It is a bulbous perennial.

It was once though to be part of the Iris subgenus Xiphium. It is sometimes referred to as 'Vartanni Iris', or 'Iris  vartani'.

It was first described in 1885 in Gardeners' Chronicle, and an illustration (No.6942) was published in Curtis's Botanical Magazine two years later. It was named by Sir Michael Foster after Dr. Kaloost Vartan from Nazareth. Who discovered the iris while working in Palestine in the foothills around Nazareth, and sent the specimen to Foster for classification. It was originally described as brown in colour, presumably due to deterioration in transportation.

Habit
It has four leaves that are un-equalsided and up to 20 cm tall (when in flower), but that increases to nearly 40 cm later.

It flowers between October and December. The flowers are greyish lilac-white, (or slaty blue ) with falls having dark blue veins. The flowers smell of almonds.

Due to its early flowering (during winter), the leaves can be damaged (by snow and ice) so much that the plant does not form healthy bulbs for the next year. So it is best grown like other species of iris in an alpine house or bulb frame. It is hardy to USDA Zone 3.

Like other members of the reticulata group (including Iris danfordiae), it has the habit of the main bulb splitting into many bulblets, that can take many years (between 2–3 years) to reach flowering size again.

Distribution
It was originally found near the city of Nazareth in Israel. and it was also found in Jordan and Syria. On rocky hillsides.
It is found in Golan, Galilee, Mount Carmel, Samarian desert and Judean mountains, various regions of Levantine.
But according to Dr Dawud Al-Eisawi's book Field Guide to Wild Flowers of Jordan (1998), it is now thought to be extinct in Jordan.

Cultivar
I. vartanii White pearl
First found in 1910 in Beersheba and Hebron, it was originally thought to be a white form of I. histrioides. On 21 December 1912, it was described in 'The Garden' magazine of the Royal Horticultural Society, now as a white form of I. vartanii. Then in 1913, it gained Award of Merit by the RHS.

It is sometimes referred to as Iris vartanii var. alba.

title: Israelization

text:
Israelization (; other English spellings: Israelification or Israelisation) is a term in sociology, study of culture, and politics of Israel that refers to the processes occurring among minority groups in Israel. A process in which minority groups adopt, at various levels, the lifestyle, language, culture, political and other characteristics of the dominant group in Israel – Israeli-born secular Jews.

Overview
The term is mostly used to describe the changes in the lifestyle and culture of the Arab citizens of Israel since Israel's creation. In this context, the term "Palestinization" is used to describe the opposite process – resistance from being overtaken by Israelization proponents  and strengthening political and cultural ties with Palestinians living beyond the Green Line. However, sociologist Majid Al-Haj suggests these are not contradictory processes, and that there is an emergence of two parallel identities among Arab citizens of Israel which he called "Politicization". The equivalent term in Arabic is "Asralah" (أسرلة) derived from the name of "Israel" in Arabic (إسرائيل - Aisraail).

Israelization has been noted amongst the Druze community in Israel. One study noted a trend whereas the post-1950 Druze generation the younger the generation is, the likelier that there is a preference for Hebrew instead of Arabic with many younger Druze using social media having a near absence of Arabic usage amongst other Druze peers.

The term "Israelization" is also used occasionally to describe the social and political changes in Haredi society in Israel, in particular to describe integration into the Israeli political system, their increasing use of the general media in the Hebrew language, integration into the Israeli labor market etc. In addition, it is sometimes used to describe the assimilation of Jewish immigrants to Israel (Aliyah) among the native-born Israelis and amongst the veterans Jewish immigrants.

Metalist () is a village in Luhansk Raion, Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine. Population 2197 people (2001); the village was incorporated in 1932.

On June 17, 2014, a camera crew of Russian state television came under mortar fire at a checkpoint in the vicinity of Metalist. While sound engineer Anton Voloshin (1987-2014) died on the spot, special correspondent Igor Kornelyuk (1977-2014) was severely wounded dying later in hospital. Cameraman Viktor Denisov survived the attack unharmed.

On June 18, 2014, the Ukrainian female army aviator Nadiya Savchenko was captured near the village of Metalist by rebels of the Donbass People's Militia, an armed pro-Russian militant group that declared allegiance to the self-declared People's Republic of Luhansk. Savchenko was later handed over to Russia, charged and convicted for the killing of two Russian journalists during the 2014 insurgency in Donbass (she was released in a prison swap in May 2016). On July 2, 2014, heavy fighting was reported in and near here.

title: Revel (brand)

text:
Revel is a former French brand founded in France in 1851 that manufactured luxury parasols largely for the French expatriates in the former French colonial empire.

History

Beginning

François Revel, the founder of Revel, arrived in Lyon, France, around 1830. In Lyon, François Revel joined his brother Pierre at Poncet Frères, a manufacturer of umbrellas, as an apprentice making high quality umbrellas from silk fabrics. Following the shutdown of Poncet Frères, François Revel founded his own company on 2 October 1851.

François Revel’s first silk umbrellas manufacturing workshop was located in Lyon, benefiting from the strong regional silk expertise. In 1860, François Revel was joined by his son, Aimé Revel (who was only 16 years old at the time) who often visited customers all over Europe.  In 1880, Aimé Revel created the Veritas brand (with a red triangle) and in 1900 he established the brand Parapluie Revel for French market.

International expansion
The second half of the 19th century saw Revel grew internationally with the company entering the Brazilian and South-East Asia markets.

The international expansion of Revel started with Pierre Revel in Brazil in 1851. Pierre had moved to Rio de Janeiro a few years prior and was already in the business of importing other French branded parasols and umbrellas into Brazil. In March 1850, Pierre was joined by his two brothers Henri, 19 years old, and Joseph, 32 years old, who sailed on the "Goelette La Fanny" for Rio de Janeiro. Accordingly, it made sense for Revel to enter the Brazilian market given the fact that the Revel brothers were already present in Brazil and had a good knowledge of the local umbrella market.

By the end of the 19th century, Revel expanded into Southeast Asia and particularly in the former French Indo-China. Revel was a provider of sun accessories to French high society in the colonies, those of whom wanted to protect themselves from the harsh external elements such as the rain and sun. In Asian cultures, fair skin is desirable as tanned skin is associated with outdoor manual labour which is typical of the lower class in society. Parasols and umbrellas were primarily sold  in Saigon (now known as Ho Chi Minh), Vietnam and then in Singapore in 1886. To meet increasing demand in this region, Revel increased its production and created its own factory in 1931 in Haiphong, Tonkin (the northernmost part of Vietnam).

Beyond Europe, South America and South East Asia, the brand extended its reach to India and Madagascar. It was sold in Madagascar from 1896 as a result of a journey by the French General, Joseph Gallieni. When General Joseph Gallieni arrived in Madagascar in 1896, he learned that only the queen Ranavalona III and noble persons were allowed to be seen using an umbrella. Appalled by this custom, he published a decree in the local newspaper ‘Voa-Voa’ allowing all people (including the indigenous) to use umbrellas. Revel created a local agency in Tamatave to import Revel’s luxury products in the wake of this new decree.

In popular culture
In 1922, Revel engaged the famous Italian poster art designer Leonetto Cappiello to create the famous ad representing three people with umbrellas, it was published by the fine parisian printer's firm, Devambez, in the name of "Les Nouvelles Affiches Leonetto Cappiello".

In 1929, Revel diversified into silk stockings and engaged once again Leonetto Cappiello to promote its new products. The artist was inspired by the previous one (with three with umbrellas) and created a poster with three women with silk stockings.

In 1992, the producer of the drama film The Lover (film) (an illicit affair between a teenage French girl and a wealthy Chinese man in 1929 French Indo-China) asked Revel to recreate for the film, the same parasol, the brand was selling in the former French Indo-China in the 1920s.

Since its inception in 1851, Revel has gained international fame, with its parasols and umbrellas used and endorsed by various people as Paul Valéry of the French Academy, the writer H. G. Wells and Edouard Herriot, former mayor of Lyon (France).

title: Iris winkleri

text:
Iris winkleri, or Winkler iris, is a species in the genus Iris, classified in the subgenus Hermodactyloides and section Monolepsis. It is a bulbous perennial from Turkestan, in Central Asia.

Description
The iris is deemed to be very similar to Iris kolpakowskiana (also part of the Monolepsis section of the Hermodactyloides subgenus), but it has a brown, membranous covering to the bulb. I. kolpakowskiana (the other member of the section) has a netted covering. Another close relative is I. pskemensis (another snow-melt found iris).

It has 3–4 glabrous (smooth), linear shaped leaves, which are sometimes longer than flowers and stems. They are 1–2 mm wide.

It has a green and acuminate (tapering to a long point) shaped spathes, (leaves of the flower bud).

It has a very very short stem, with the flower, it grows up to  tall.

It blooms in June, with blueish-violet flowers.

Like other irises, it has 2 pairs of petals, 3 large sepals (outer petals), known as the 'falls' and 3 inner, smaller petals (or tepals), known as the 'standards'. The falls are oblanceolate shaped and the standards are erect, oblong shaped and wider than falls.

It has a perianth tube equal to length of the limb, and style branches that have oblong lobes.

Taxonomy
It was discovered by botanists in 1884 in Turkestan, and then published by Eduard August von Regel in the Trudy Sankt-Peterburgskogo botanicheskogo sada (Transactions of the St. Petersburg Botanical Garden) between 1884 and 1885, on page 677.
The plant is named after Konstantin George Alexander Winkler (14 June 1848 - 3 February 1900), a botanist from the University of Tartu in Estonia. Later in 1897, Winkler was made head botanist at Saint Petersburg Botanical Garden.

It was verified by the United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service on 2 October 2014.

Distribution and habitat
It is native to temperate Asia.

Range
It was originally found in the temperate regions of middle Asia and Kyrgyzstan. It is also found in other former states of the Soviet Union, (including Uzbekistan), and Kazakhstan. Including on the Tian Shan mountain range.

It is normally found at  above sea level.

title: Janjira State

text:
Janjira State was a princely state in India during the British Raj. Its rulers were a Siddi dynasty of Habesha descent and the state was under the suzerainty of the Bombay Presidency.

Janjira State was located on the Konkan coast in the present-day Raigad district of Maharashtra. The state included the towns of Murud and Shrivardhan, as well as the fortified island of Murud-Janjira, just off the coastal village of Murud, which was the capital and the residence of the rulers. The state had an area of 839 km2, not counting Jafrabad, and a population of 110,389 inhabitants in 1931. Jafrabad, or Jafarabad state was a dependency of the Nawab of Janjira State located 320 km to the NNW.

History

Establishment
According to one legend, in the year 1489 the Ahmadnagar Sultanate sent its Admiral Piram Khan (of Ethiopian descent) with orders to capture the Murud-Janjira castle from Ram Patil. Owing to the castle's fortifications, the Admiral could not attack conventionally.

He and his team disguised themselves as merchants and asked Ram Patil to safeguard their three hundred large boxes containing silks and wines from Surat. As thanks, Piram Khan threw a party with wine. Once Ram Patil and his soldiers were intoxicated, Piram Khan opened the boxes, which contained his soldiers, and used the opportunity to capture the castle and the island on which it stands.

In the century that followed the rulers put themselves under the overlordship of the Sultanate of Bijapur. During the seventeenth and eighteenth century Janjira successfully resisted the repeated attacks of the Maratha Empire.

Cooperation with the Ottomans
According to Ottoman records, a combined force from the Ottomans and Janjira mariners routed a Portuguese fleet in 1587 at Yemen. From this moment onwards Janjira played an important role in resisting Portuguese influence in the region.

There's further record of Cooperation with the Ottoman Empire when the Ottoman fleet first arrived in Aceh prior to Ottoman expedition to Aceh has included 200 Malabar sailors from Janjira State to aid the region Batak and the Maritime Southeast Asia in 1539.

Cooperation with the Mughals
According to one records at one time Mughal emperor Aurangzeb supplied the Siddis of Janjira state with 2,000 men, provisions, ammunitions along with two Frigates and two large Man-of-war battleships. The ship arrived at Bombay harbor under the commands of Siddi Kasim and Siddi Sambal in 1677. The largest Mughal ship named Ganj-I-Sawai (Trading Ship) which was equipped with 800 guns and 400 musketeer type soldiers also stationed in the port of Surat.

Another record from East India Company factory which written 1673 has reported the Siddis fleet which wintered from Bombay has five Frigates and two Man-of-wars beside of fifteen grabs vessels. It is because the formidable naval warfare skills of Siddis in Janjira that Aurangzeb granting annual payment of 400.000 Rupee for the maintenance of their fleet.

Relations with the Marathas

Rivalry with the Marathas
The main competitor of the Sidis was the Angrias, a Maratha family with sea forts and ships, based in southern Konkan.

Treaty with Marathas
In 1733, Peshwa Bajirao of the Maratha Empire launched a campaign against the Siddis of Janjira. Bajirao's forces, however, did not take Janjira fort, though they captured much of the surrounding area; a favorable treaty gave the Marathas indirect control over virtually all of the Sidi's lands.

Post Maratha-rule
When the British came to the Konkan area, the repeated attacks of the Marathas against Janjira ceased. Janjira State was administered as part of the Deccan States Agency of the Bombay Presidency, founded in 1799. In the nineteenth century the rulers maintained a military force of 123 men.

Following the independence of India in 1947, the state was merged with India.

Rulers
The royal family of Janjira were Sidis, also known as 'Habshi', assumed to be from Abyssinia. Initially the rulers of the state held the title of 'Wazir', but after 1803 the title of 'Nawab' was officially recognized by the British Raj. They were entitled to an 11 gun salute by the British authorities after the 1903 Coronation Durbar.
