title: William Tyler Smith

text:
William Tyler Smith (1815–1873) was an English obstetrician, medical writer and journalist, with outside interests in insurance and the development of Seaford, East Sussex, U.K.

Early life
Smith was born into a poor family, near Bristol on 10 April 1815. He was educated at the Bristol school of medicine, where he became prosector and post-mortem clerk. He graduated as bachelor of medicine at the University of London in 1840, and eight years later proceeded M.D. He became a licentiate of the College of Physicians, London, in 1850, and was elected to the fellowship in 1859.

Medical career
Smith began his career as a teacher in the private school of George Dermott in Bedford Square, and became an effective lecturer despite lacking natural gifts. When St. Mary's Hospital was founded, he was appointed obstetric physician and lecturer on obstetrics. He continued his teaching there for the allotted term of twenty years, and on retirement was elected consulting physician accoucheur. He held the post of examiner in obstetrics at the University of London for five years.

At first living at 7 Bolton Street, Piccadilly, Smith moved to 7 Upper Grosvenor Street, and then to No. 21 in the same street. For several years he was largely dependent on writing, building up a professional reputation. He became a member of the editorial staff of The Lancet.  promoted speciality of obstetric medicine also as a participant in the foundation and administration, of the Obstetrical Society of London, of which he was the second President, elected 1860.

Interests
Smith was associated with Thomas Wakley in the establishment of the New Equitable Life Assurance Society. One of its aims was fair reward for the professional services of medical men, and he became one of the first directors. When the society was merged the Briton Life Office, he became deputy chairman of the united companies.

Another project of Smith was to develop Seaford, East Sussex as a sanatorium and fashionable watering-place. He purchased of land in and adjoining the town, and leased more from the corporation, on the condition that he should secure it against the frequent flooding by the sea, and build on it. He was active in promoting the foundation and success of the convalescent hospital at Seaford, and was bailiff of the town (in 1861, 1864, 1867, 1868, and 1870). He was magistrate for the town and port from 1861 for the rest of his life.

Death
Smith died at Richmond, Surrey on Whit-Monday 1873, and was buried at East Blatchington.

Works
Smith wrote:

 Scrofula: its Nature, Causes, and Treatment. London, 1844.
 The Periodoscope, with its application to Obstetric Calculations in the Periodicities of the Sex. London, 1848.
 Parturition and the Principles and Practice of Obstetrics. London, 1849.

He contributed to the Medico-Chirurgical Transactions, Obstetrical Transactions, and Pathological Transactions. also papers On Quacks and Quackery, and a series of biographical sketches of London physicians and surgeons. Marshall Hall, a close friend, suggested that he study applications of the reflex function in obstetrics, and Smith wrote on the topic in The Lancet. The articles led Parturition, and the Principles and Practice of Obstetrics (1849), dedicated to Hall. Other lectures published in The Lancet formed the basis of his Manual of Obstetrics, 1858. In his time, these books by Smith, especially the Manual, became standard texts, alongside the works of Thomas Denman the elder, despite his relative lack of practical experience.

Family
Smith married Tryphena, daughter of Moses Yearsley, of Southwick Park, near Tewkesbury, and had seven children, two of whom died in infancy. Their son Giulio played for England against Scotland in the first (unofficial) international football match on 5 March 1870.

title: Battle of Kwatarkwashi

text:
The Battle of Kwatarkwashi was a decisive battle between the British administered Protectorate of Northern Nigeria and forces of the Sokoto Caliphate's Kano Emirate. The defeat of the Kano cavalry in the battle marked the formative end of the Kano Emirate.

Background
In 1899, Lord Lugard had proclaimed a British protectorate over much of the Sokoto Caliphate. With the failure of numerous diplomatic overtures to the Caliph, in 1900 a military campaign was launched to subdue the caliphate.
when news of the Battle of Kano and the fall of the fort of Kano reached Sokoto in February 1903, the Kano cavalry embarked on a march to retake the city.

Battle
After three previous victorious encounters with British forces, a large British Force from Kano ambushed the Kano cavalry at the great rocks of Kwatarkwashi. After a 6-hour encounter, the death of the Vizier of Kano led the remnant of the cavalry to retreat back to Sokoto, a substantial part of the force however under Muhammad Abbas surrendered to the British and proceeded back to Kano.

At Kano, Muhammad Abbas was proclaimed Emir of Kano. The last of the Kano cavalry were integrated into the Caliphal force of Sokoto.

title: Paul Verhaeghe

text:
Paul Verhaeghe (born November 5, 1955 in Roeselare) is a Belgian professor of clinical psychology and psychoanalysis.

Studies
In 1978, Verhaeghe graduated with a master's degree in psychology from the University of Ghent (RUG). In 1985, he obtained his PhD in clinical psychology (RUG) and in 1992 a special doctorate in psychodiagnostics (RUG). He received his initial psychoanalytical training at the Belgian School for Psychoanalysis (training analyst J. Schotte) and then at the École de la Cause Freudienne (Paris-Brussels).

Employment
After his studies, Verhaeghe worked for some time as a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist at a mental health centre (GGZ) in Sint-Niklaas and then also for some time at the Special Youth Care centre in Eeklo. In late 1981, he started his PhD research at the University of Ghent. He did this under the guidance of prof. Julien Quackelbeen, with whom he co-wrote many articles. In 1992 he was appointed Associate Professor. In 1996, he acquired the rank of Full Professor. He teaches Clinical Psychodiagnostics, Psychoanalytical Therapy and Gender Studies. He was head of the Department of Psychoanalysis and Clinical Consulting from 1999 through October 2014.

Work
In 1998, Verhaeghe became known for the publication of Liefde in tijden van eenzaamheid (Love in a Time of Loneliness), a psychoanalytic reading of the postmodern man-woman relationship. Despite its levels of difficulty, the book was an unexpected success and has since been translated into eight languages. In 2008, a slightly reworked version of the book was published by the Bezige Bij publishing house.

Until 2000, Verhaeghe mainly published articles in which he tried to combine the work of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan into a theory, which is useful according to psychoanalysts. With Over normaliteit en andere afwijkingen (2000), he tried to offer an alternative to the DSM diagnostic system; the U.S. edition of this book On Being Normal and Other Disorders received the Goethe Award. One point of special interest in this work is his redefinition of the neglected Freudian diagnostic category of "actual neurosis". Here, the clinical category of actual pathology, where affect regulation, identity formation and (impaired) interpersonal relationships combine at the level of aetiology, is proposed to offer a more useful basis for the diagnosis and treatment of contemporary mental illness.

Shortly after 2000, he was part of a study group under the auspices of the IPA (International Psychoanalytic Association) on the interface between neuroscience and psychoanalysis. The collaboration with Jaak Panksepp and Mark Solms, among others, convinced him of the futility of any approach trying to understand humans solely on a psychological or a somatic level. On this basis, in Het einde van de psychotherapie (The end of psychotherapy), he adopts a very critical position against the reduction of psychological and psychiatric disorders to neurobiological, hereditary diseases, and in Identiteit (Identity) against a positivistic and individualistic approach to psychology.

In New studies of old villains. A radical reconsideration of the Oedipus Complex (2009),  an essay in book form, Verhaeghe elaborated his views on the Freudian and Lacanian Oedipus complex.

In 2010 he was invited by the Louise Bourgeois Studios (New York) to work together on a collection of essays on her work. He was one of the first to have full access to her diaries and, based on these, could present a new approach to her work.

At the start of the new millennium, he turned his attention to the relation between social change and the explosive growth of mental disorders in combination with the ever-increasing dominance of psychodiagnostic labelling (DSM). In a keynote lecture in Dublin (2007) he stated that classical psychotherapy is disappearing because of the combined effect of DSM-diagnostics and the reduction of psychotherapy to evidence based practices. These ideas were further elaborated in his book Het einde van de psychotherapie (The End of Psychotherapy) (2009), which saw ten reprints in a short period of time.

Based on the research into burnout and depression carried out by his department, his attention increasingly focused on the combined effects of changes in society and work organisation. He elaborated these ideas during a lecture at the Oikos Academy in 2010. Both the printed (Verhaeghe, 2011) and digital publication of this lecture (website of the think tank Liberales) was widely received and awarded 'essay of the year' in 2011 by Liberales.

Its further exploration brought him to the conclusion that contemporary identity is based on a compelling neoliberal ideology and that such an identity goes against our evolutionarily ingrained social nature. At the end of January 2012, during a Belgian national strike, Verhaeghe gave a sharp public lecture at the art centre Vooruit, Ghent, explaining how neoliberalism has done away with politics. Later that year, he gave the annual Paul Verbraeken lecture in Antwerp where he argued that neoliberalism is a contemporary form of social Darwinism, using the university and the hospital as case studies. The subsequent publication of the text received a lot of attention in Flanders. This lecture reappeared in two chapters of Identiteit (Identity), published in the autumn of 2012. Both in the Netherlands and Flanders this book found its way to a wide audience, both left and right wing, and was subsequently translated into German and English.

In the first section of Identity Verhaeghe argues that our psychological identity is a construction on top of a well-founded evolutionary substructure. Evolutionarily, man is a social animal in which two opposing behavioural tendencies are at work: on the one hand he gravitates towards community and sharing, on the other, towards individualism and taking. Which of these two tendencies prevail in the construction of identity is largely determined by the societal model. In the second section, he describes contemporary society as neoliberal, with neo-liberalism as a new version of social Darwinism. The concomitant development of identity is thus, according to Verhaeghe, very negative, as it goes against the social nature of man. The structure and organisation of education, scientific research and healthcare are used as case studies to illustrate this. In the final chapter he argues that change will have to emerge from the bottom-up, given that the neoliberal ideology is now a part of our identity.
Recently, he has turned to a new subject: patriarchal authority and its disappearance.

Criticism
In December 2011, he and his department were criticised in De Standaard by several Ghent philosophers of science, including Maarten Boudry and Griet Vandermassen, who claimed that psychoanalysis, which Verhaeghe advocates, was pseudoscientific. Verhaeghe's colleague Stijn Vanheule defended psychoanalysis on radio programme Peeters & Pichal against Boudry's and Vandermassen's criticism.

The publication of Identiteit attracted criticism as well: Verhaeghe's critique of neoliberalism, "scientism", "Big Pharma" and DSM-V was considered "grossly exaggerated", he was found to use "neoliberalism" as a scapegoat for all modern problems, making that term a 'catch-all full of contradictions', and paradoxically, in his "litany against prophets of doom", he was one himself. The discussion was nuanced by another group of science philosophers of the same department who criticized their colleagues for their narrow view and placed the discussion in a broader debate about what science is.

Trivia
Although Paul Verhaeghe twice doctorated in psychology and is a professor psychology, he is currently not a licensed psychologist.  That profession has been protected in Belgium since the law of November 8, 1993. The procedure in order to bear the title of psychologist is simple in his case. The reason he does not want to wear this title has never been made public. It does mean however that he is not bound by the ethical code of Belgian psychologists.

Bibliography
Paul Verhaeghe has published over two hundred articles and numerous books. The complete list of publications can be found on the University of Ghent website and on the author's website.

title: Ida Maclean

text:
Ida Smedley Maclean (born Ida Smedley 14 June 1877, died 2 March 1944) was an English biochemist and the first woman admitted to the London Chemical Society.

Early life and education
Ida was born in Birmingham to William Smedley, a businessman, and Annie Elizabeth Duckworth. She was taught by her mother at home until the age of nine and lived in "a cultured and progressive home". She was educated at King Edward VI High School for Girls, Birmingham from 1886 to 1896, when she won a scholarship and began her studies at Newnham College, Cambridge. In the university's Natural Sciences Tripos she got a first class in part one and a second class in part two, studying chemistry and physiology. After a two-year break, holding a Bathurst scholarship, in 1901 she undertook postgraduate research at the Central Technical College in London and later at the Royal Institution's Davy-Faraday Research Laboratory. The University of London awarded her a D.Sc. in 1905.

Academic career
In 1906 Maclean became an assistant lecturer in at the chemistry department of Manchester University, the department's first female staff member. She taught there until 1910, as well as acting as a demonstrator in the women students' laboratories and researching the optical properties of organic compounds. In 1910, supported by one of the first Beit fellowships, she began her work in biochemistry at the Lister Institute of Preventive Medicine, receiving the American Association of University Women's Ellen Richards prize for her research. She married Hugh Maclean, a co-worker at the Lister Institute, on 28 March 1913; the couple had a son and a daughter. During World War I she worked at the Admiralty in areas such as gas warfare and the large-scale production of acetone by fermentation.

Between 1920 and 1941 Maclean published in the Biochemical Journal approximately thirty papers, many in collaboration, on her particular interests, namely the role of fatty acids in animals and the synthesis of fats from carbohydrates. In 1927 she co-authored with Hugh the second edition of his book The Lipins. She came to be regarded as an authority on biochemistry, and her 1943 monograph The Metabolism of Fat was the first published of Methuen's series Monographs on Biochemical Subjects.

Women's rights
Maclean worked hard to improve the status of women in universities and was among the founders of the British Federation of University Women in 1907. Having been made a fellow of the Royal Institute of Chemistry in 1918, in 1920 she became the first woman to be formally admitted to the London Chemical Society. From 1931 to 1934 she was on the council of the London Chemical Society and from 1929 to 1935 she was president of the British Federation of University Women, which later named a research fellowship for women after her. From 1941 to 1944 she was on the women's appointments board of the University of Cambridge.

Death
She died on 2 March 1944  at University College Hospital in London. Her body was cremated.

title: Hawks (South Africa)

text:
The Hawks are the South African Police Services' Directorate for Priority Crime Investigation (DPCI), which targets organised crime, economic crime, corruption, and other serious crime referred to it by the President or another division of the  South African Police Service (SAPS). It was set up as the Scorpions by the Thabo Mbeki administration in 2001, but President Jacob Zuma replaced it with the Hawks as its successor in 2008, with many new associates.

Establishment
The decision to replace the Scorpions with a new organisation (The Hawks) came from a resolution taken by the ruling African National Congress (ANC) at the 52nd National Conference of the African National Congress in 2007 in Polokwane, Limpopo.  The ANC argued that government oversight was needed in such a body so as to avoid the agency being used as a political tool to investigate politicians.  This followed from a power struggle between Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma that resulted in an investigation into Zuma's involvement in the arms deal.

The DPCI was established as an independent directorate within the SAPS in terms of Section 17C of the South Africa Police Services Act, 1995 as amended by the South African Police Service Amendment Act, 2008 (Act 57 of 2008).

Certain provisions of the Act were found to be unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court of South Africa in March 2011 in Glenister v President of the Republic of South Africa and Others. As a result, the Act was amended by Parliament in September 2012. Sections of the amended Act were themselves found to be invalid and deleted by the Constitutional Court in November 2014 in the Helen Suzman Foundation v President of the Republic of South Africa and Others; Glenister v President of the Republic of South Africa and Others.  Following the judgement President Zuma reiterated his support for keeping the unit under the control of SAPS and thereby also under the control of executive government.

National Directorate Head
The following people have represented the DPCI as its national head:
 Anwa Dramat 2009 – 2014
 Berning Ntlemeza (acting) 2014 – 2015
 Berning Ntlemeza 2015 – 2017
 Yolisa Matakata (acting) 2017 – 2018
 Godfrey Lebeya 2018 – present

Corruption
Detractors of the decision to reform the Scorpions into The Hawks expressed concern that the new agency would not be as effective as the Scorpions in dealing with government corruption. Inkatha Freedom Party MP Koos van der Merwe described the decision to replace the Scorpions with The Hawks was done so as to "protect ANC leaders and members from criminal investigation and possible prosecution." When the organisation was first founded its staff reported to then National Commissioner of Police Jackie Selebi.  Selebi was, at the time, under investigation for corruption by the Scorpions.

In the period following the replacement of the Scorpions by The Hawks levels of corruption within and outside of government has increased.  A number of studies have found the lack of political independence to investigate corruption as well as its dependence on SAPS has had a strongly negative effect on the organisation's effectiveness.

Controversies

Booysen/Jiba charges
In 2015 former head of The Hawks office in KwaZulu-Natal, Major General Johan Booysen, sued the state for wrongful arrest.  Booysen was arrested in 2012 for allegedly being involved in operating a “death squad” as part of the Hawks Cato Manor organised crime unit.  The Booysen arrest was initiated by Nomgcobo Jiba, then acting national director of public prosecutions.  Following the arrest Jiba was tried for "fraud and perjury relating to her failed attempts to prosecute Booysen."  Booysen claims that he was "set up and criminally charged to stop him pursuing specific cases of corruption."

Gordhan investigation
In mid-2016 The Hawks were involved in a controversial investigation of Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan following his ministerial appointment.  Gordhan was investigated for his possible role in setting up and running a "rogue" investigatory unit whilst he was head of the South African Revenue Service (SARS) shortly after Zuma was compelled to appoint him Finance Minister following public outrage at the firing of the former minister of Finance Nhlanhla Nene.  Supporters of Gordhan believe the Hawks' investigation was politically motivated and done so as to remove him from office  and lack legal merit.  ANC member and head of the Independent Police Investigative Directorate, Robert McBride, has accused the Hawks of being used by the ANC to fight internal political battles within the ruling party.  It was alleged that the Hawks illegally detained and assaulted a senior SARS employee in an effort to take a hard copy of an email mistakenly sent to him in which SARS's legal counsel stated their disagreement with the Hawks and National Prosecuting Authority's decision to prosecute Gordhan.

Silverton investigation
In November 2020, two senior Hawks officials who were stationed in the Pretoria suburb of Silverton, Brigadier Peggy Morongo and Colonel Malesela Moylan were arrested along with former SAPS Colonel Paulina Mokgadi. It was alleged that their promotional appointments were obtained through fraud and corruption. Following their arrests, all three officers appeared in the Pretoria Specialised Commercial Crimes court.

title: The Outcasts of Poker Flat (1952 film)

text:
The Outcasts of Poker Flat is a 1952 American Western film directed by Joseph M. Newman and starring Anne Baxter and Dale Robertson. The screenplay is based on a short story of the same name by Bret Harte. Harte's story has been brought to film at least five times, including in 1919 with Harry Carey and in 1937 with Preston Foster.

Plot
Ryker, a murderous western outlaw, leaves death and destruction behind after a robbery in Poker Flat and leaves the loot with his wife, Cal, before riding off. A while later, the shaken town decides to banish all undesirables. They include gambler John Oakhurst, saloonkeeper and madam The Duchess and the town drunk, Jake, as well as Cal, who had been spotted with Ryker, even though no one knows they are husband and wife.

The others follow Oakhurst, not knowing what else to do. They come across young Tom Dakin and pregnant sweetheart Piney, who were headed for Poker Flat to be wed. In a snowstorm, John leads them to a remote cabin. They have no horses, so Tom takes off for Poker Flat on foot to get help, given $500 of the stolen money by Cal in case he needs to pay someone to form a rescue party.

Ryker turns up, also on foot. He is shocked to find Cal, becomes suspicious and beats her, as well as bullying the others and eating all of their remaining food. He shoots Jake just for taking a bottle of whiskey. Cal develops a bond with Oakhurst and eventually reveals her situation to him. A fight begins after Ryker shoots and kills The Duchess in cold blood, and Oakhurst is able to strangle him to death. Some head back toward town, when the rescue party arrives, while Oakhurst and Cal go the other way.

title: Sparky J's

text:
Sparky J's, previously known as  the Cadillac Club, was a popular jazz club in downtown Newark, New Jersey. Sparky J's often featured soul jazz or funky jazz best exemplified by the organ combo, a band usually consisting of a Hammond B-3 organist, a saxophonist, a drummer, and a guitarist. The club was located in downtown Newark, on the corner of Halsey and William streets. This area known locally as the "Jazz Corner of the World" in the 70s because it contained two jazz clubs: Spark J's and Key Club. Both clubs closed in the 1970s, and they were the last full-time jazz clubs in the area at the time of closing. While Key Club was free entry, Sparky J's charged admission.

In the 1990s, the Newark Jazz Festival held annual Organ Jams, which were also known as "The Key Club and Sparky J's Reunion", which featured bands that played soul jazz as they did in the 70s. Many of the same musicians that played in the 70s played in these Festivals. Proceeds from the organ jam benefited the Black United Fund of New Jersey.

It was one of the jazz clubs featured on the "A Tribute to Newark Jazz Clubs" painting, a large-scale outdoor mural in Newark completed in 2013.

title: Naples '44

text:
Naples '44: An Intelligence Officer in the Italian Labyrinth is a military memoir of the Second World War written by the British travel writer and novelist Norman Lewis that was first published in 1978.

The book is in the form of a diary that was kept by Lewis while he was a sergeant in the Field Security Service of the British Army Intelligence Corps in southern Italy from September 1943 to October 1944.

The military historian Sir John Keegan has described it, together with George MacDonald Fraser’s Quartered Safe Out Here, as "one of the great personal memoirs of the Second World War".

Lewis's memoir is notable for its depiction of the wartime suffering endured by the civilian population of the city of Naples. His harrowing and moving account of a group of blind girl orphans being refused food in a restaurant in the city has been referenced by several other authors:

The experience changed my outlook. Until now I had clung to the comforting belief that human beings eventually come to terms with pain and sorrow. Now I understood I was wrong, and like Paul I suffered a conversion – but to pessimism. These little girls, any one of whom could be my daughter, came into the restaurant weeping, and they were weeping when they were led away. I knew that, condemned to everlasting darkness, hunger and loss, they would weep on incessantly. They would never recover from their pain, and I would never recover from the memory of it.

Naples '44 was first published by William Collins in 1978 and republished as a paperback by Eland Books in 1983.

An Italian/English documentary film based upon it, Napoli '44/Naples '44, directed by Francesco Patierno and narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, premiered at the Rome International Film Festival in October 2016.

title: Antoine Hakim

text:
Antoine M. Hakim  (born April 30, 1942) is a Canadian engineer and physician.

He first trained as a chemical engineer and worked for Syncrude in Alberta. Wishing to change careers, Hakim taught school for a short time in Montreal. He then earned a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York and went on to study medicine at Albany Medical College. He completed his residency at the Montreal Neurological Institute and later became a professor at McGill University. In 1992, he became chair of the Neurology department and director of the Neuroscience Research Institute at the University of Ottawa. From 1992 to 2000, he was head of the Neurology division at The Ottawa Hospital.

When Hakim began his research, strokes were widely regarded as unpreventable and available treatments were limited. By gaining a better understanding of the process of a stroke and the nature of the damage to the brain, he was able to identify possible treatments and, later, how to reduce the likelihood of strokes.

Hakim helped create the Canadian Stroke Network and served as its CEO and scientific director. From 2001 to 2008, he was the founding scientific director of the Heart and Stroke Foundation Centre for Stroke Recovery.

In 2007, he was named an Officer in the Order of Canada. In 2013, he was inducted into the Canadian Medical Hall of Fame.  In 2017, he was selected for the prestigious Canada Gairdner Wightman Award for his outstanding research into strokes and their consequences and championing stroke prevention and treatment in Canada and beyond.

Hakim has written the book Save your mind: seven rules to avoid dementia in 2017 (), which is also available in French "Préservez votre vitalité mentale: 7 règles pour prévenir la démence".

title: Léon Carré

text:
Léon Georges Jean-Baptiste Carré (23 June 1878 – 2 December 1942) was a French Orientalist painter and illustrator, noted for illustrating the book, The Book of One Thousand and One Nights.

Life and career
Carré was born in Granville, Manche, of Norman ancestry. He showed an early talent for drawing. He studied in Rennes under Mathurin Méheut. At the age of 19 years, he left Brittany with a good job as a decorator and in Paris studied with Leon Bonnat and Luc-Olivier Merson. He exhibited at the French Salon des Artistes in 1900; at the Salon des Independents in 1905; the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1907 and the Salon d'Automne in 1911. He was the winner of the Abd-el-Tif prize and a two-time winner of the Chenavard Prize. He primarily worked in oil, gouache and pastel. Among his works are illustrations for the 12-volume edition of Le livre des mille nuits et une nuit (The Book of One Thousand and One Nights) by J. C. Mardrus. One of his works, The Ruins of El Djem Amphitheatre, Tunisia is on the French 50 franc bank note.

Carré began his artistic career painting scenes of Parisian street life. He travelled to Algiers in 1905. One of his first Orientalist works, the Arab Market (Marché Arabé) earned him the Prix Chevanard (Chevanard Prize) in 1905.

After marrying the painter, Anne Marie "Ketty" Lederer (1882–1964), the couple set up a villa at Abd-el-Tif where a number of Oriental artists were already established. During the Abd-el-Tif period, Carré made many drawings of Orientalist scenes; The Gypsies of Granada, The Jews of Morocco, The Courtesans of Biskra, The Arab in Prayer and The Woman with the Tambourine. He won the Abd-el-Tif prize in 1909. Later, Carré and his wife moved to Algiers permanently. Carré travelled extensively moving as far south as Biskra and spending most of 1911 in Spain while his wife pursued independent projects.

In 1921, with the painters Louis Ferdinand Antoni and , he decorated the new halls of the Palais d'Eté, designed tourist posters, models of postage stamps for the Bank of Algeria. In 1927, he contributed to the decoration of the liner "Ile-de-France".

Carré died in Algiers on 2 December 1942 at his studio in the rue Dumont-d'Urville, Algiers where he had been living since the war and where he was surrounded by his paintings and those of his wife.

title: Kadir Mısıroğlu

text:
Kadir Mısıroğlu (1933–2019) was a Turkish writer, publisher and conspiracy theorist. He was known for his staunch opposition to the early Kemalist regime of Turkey and advocating the restoration of the caliphate. Mısıroğlu's claims include that Joseph Stalin ordered his army to read the Quran on the sands against the Nazis, William Shakespeare being a secret Muslim, and that Karl Marx's Das Kapital was dictated by demons. He penned over 50 books, which include non-fiction, fiction, and poems. His works have been criticized for their approach, awareness and bias.

Biography
Mısıroğlu was born in Akçaabat in the Trabzon Province. During his time at Istanbul University in the 1950s, He became the president of the Trabzon Highschool Graduates Association in his sophomore year, and opened seven student dormitories. He married Aynur Aydınaslan in 1961 and had three children: Abdullah Sünusi (1963), Fatıma Mehlika (1965), and Mehmed Selman (1973).

In 1964, he founded the publishing house Sebil and then the magazine named Sebil in 1976. He wrote over 50 books. Also in 1964, he reached fame through his book Lausanne, Victory or Defeat? (Lozan Zafer mi, Hezimet mi?).

In 1977, he was a losing candidate of the National Salvation Party for the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. Following the 1980 Turkish coup d'état, he fled and applied for asylum in Germany and settled in Frankfurt.

Following multiple stays for a year and a half at Acıbadem Altunizade Hospital for diabetes, he died on 5 May 2019 due to multiple-organ failure. His funeral was held at Çamlıca Mosque where a huge crowd of tens of thousands was in attendance. He was interred in the cemetery of the Nasuhi dergah and mosque at Üsküdar, Istanbul.

Beliefs
Mısıroğlu has been described as a conspiracy theorist. He was known for his outspoken stance against Atatürk's reforms and Kemalism, and identified as an apologist of Islamism and Pan-Islamism. He was staunchly against Fethullah Gülen and his movement. He accused the movement of being business oriented rather than religiously oriented, and Gülen of making false claims, such as Muhammad regularly visiting his schools.

Mısıroğlu gained infamy with the quote "I wish the Greeks had won", for his resentment against the early years of the republic, and he continued, "neither the caliphate nor the sharia would be abolished!" He also had claimed that Joseph Stalin ordered his army to read the Quran on the sands against the Nazis, William Shakespeare was a secret Muslim whose name was Sheikh Pir, and Karl Marx's Das Kapital was dictated by demons. His works came under criticism by historian İlber Ortaylı for lacking scientific approach, knowledge and distorting the facts.

The sixth son and ninth child of Adam Oldham (1781–1839) of Balham, a solicitor, was born on 31 January 1815; his mother, Ann Lane, was a daughter of William Stubbington Penny, and Charles James Oldham (1843–1907) the university benefactor was a nephew. Educated at James Balaam's school at Clapham and at London University, entered in 1834 the medical school of Guy's Hospital. In May 1837 he became M.R.C.S. England; in September following a licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries; in 1843 a licentiate, and in 1857 fellow, of the Royal College of Physicians of London.

In 1849 Oldham was appointed, with J. C. W. Lever, physician-accoucheur and lecturer on midwifery and diseases of women at Guy's Hospital. He was pre-eminent as a lecturer, and proceeded M.D. at the University of St Andrews in 1858. After twenty years' service he became consulting obstetric physician.

Oldham had an extensive practice in the City of London, first at 13 Devonshire Square, Bishopsgate Street, and then at 25 Finsbury Square. About 1870 he moved to 4 Cavendish Place, and in 1899 retired to Bournemouth, where he died in 1902, being buried in the cemetery there. He was a vegetarian for the last 15 years of his life. His unique diet consisted of bread, butter, eggs, a milk pudding and coffee, cocoa and tea.

Works

Before his appointment at Guy's Hospital, Oldham studied embryology in the developing chick by means of coloured injections and the microscope. He made 17 contributions to "Guy's Hospital Reports", besides writing four papers in the Transactions of the Obstetrical Society of London (of which he was one of the founders, an original trustee, and President in 1863–5). He invented the term "missed labour", that is, when the child dies in the womb and labour fails to come on; but the specimen on which he based his view was later differently interpreted. He also researched menstruation.

Family

Oldham married in 1838 Sophia (died 1885), eldest daughter of James Smith of Peckham, and had six children, four daughters and two sons, of whom one died in infancy and the other was Colonel Sir Henry Hugh Oldham, C.V.O.

title: Tsewang Dorji Namjal

text:
Tsewang Dorji Namjal (1732–1750) was the mid-eighteenth century khan or ruler of the Dzungar Khanate, which covered most of present-day Xinjiang and part of eastern Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and southern Siberia.

Background
Tsewang Dorji Namjal became khan on the death of his father, Galdan Tseren in 1745. The Khanate was in  political, military and economic terms an important power in Central Asia. Since 1739 there had been a form of peace with the Chinese Qing dynasty. As a result, trade opportunities between Dzungaria and China expanded significantly and had a positive impact on the economic base of the Khanate. Galdan Tseren had  implemented modern irrigation systems in the fertile oases of his empire by bringing in Turkic Taranchi people who possessed the requisite skills for such innovations. He also improved trade and productivity in the local economy.

In the last years of Galdan Tseren era there was talk of increasing tension with Imperial Russia, but bipartisan relations were not beyond repair; an influential faction within the Russian political elite saw the maintenance of an independent khanate in Dzungaria as an important counterbalance to Chinese influence on the southeastern border with Siberia.

In the period after the death of Galdan Tseren an unprecedented internal power-struggle broke out within the Khanate, which resulted in total anarchy and its eventual destruction.

Succession
Galdan Tseren had three sons and a daughter. At his death, the eldest son Lama Dorji (d. 1752) was 17 years old, the middle son, Tsewang Dorji Namjal, 13 years old and the youngest son, Tsewang Dashi just seven years old.

In his will Galdan Tseren determined that it should be Tsewang Dorji Namjal who succeeded him. In 1746, he was also proclaimed by the nobility of the Dzungars as their new leader.

Little is known about Tsewang Dorji Namjal. However, available sources describe him as someone who was seen in his youth as a perverse, cruel and paranoid man who drank copious amounts of alcohol and was "more interested in killing dogs than attending to affairs of state". According to one source, "The king's favorite ways were to roam around in the villages, drinking chang, seducing girls and indulging in carnal pleasures".

Decline in power and death
Several missions to Tibet had depleted Tsewang Dorji Namjal's influence amongst the Dzungarian elite. At the same time, his elder brother Lama Dorji conspired with their sister Ulam Bayar's husband, the Baghatur Sayin Bolek and other saisans or high officials (), to kill Tsewang Dorji Namjal while he was on a hunting trip. During an abortive attack on the plotters, Tsewang Dorji Namjal was captured and blinded then sent as a prisoner to Aksu, Xinjiang along with his brother, Tsewang Dashi.  He died in 1750.

title: Flinn Springs, California

text:
Flinn Springs is an unincorporated community in the East County region of San Diego County, California.

History
Flinn Springs is named for early settler James Ebenezer Flinn, a native of Missouri who moved to the area and established a farm prior to 1874. Sometimes Flinn's father, Dr. William E. Flinn, is credited as the founder of Flinn Springs instead. The settlement was also known as "La Viñita" (Spanish for "the little vineyard") because the Flinns made and sold wine at their farm.

Geography
Flinn Springs straddles Interstate 8, which runs from east to west through the region. U.S. Route 80 passed through Flinn Springs from 1926 until the route was decommissioned in California in 1964. The historic highway continues to serve as the community's main thoroughfare.

Flinn Springs neighbors Lakeside to the west, Harbison Canyon to the south, and Alpine to the east. The community sits at an elevation of 1,063 feet.

title: Farooq family

text:
The Al Farooq  (Arabic: فاروق') family are a Sunni Muslim business family whose ancestral home was Saudi Arabia belonging to the Hashemites and Bani Khalid and then Bastak in the Hormozgan province of southern Iran before eventually migrating to Dubai. The family is amongst the first of UAE's business and aristocratic families.

As of 2014, the majority of the family members reside in the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, the United States and Canada. The Farooq Al Arshi family are the first cousins of the Al Olema family. The Al Olemas are also known as the Sheikh Sultan Al Ulama, the Fikree, and the Al Khaldi family.

Background

The Al Farooq family led by Al Hajj Mohammed Aqil was part of the first wave of migration which started in 1899 due to the "introduction of customs tax by the Persian government under the Qajar dynasty which led to reduced profits for merchants.

Political instability in 1909, and a flu epidemic in 1918 saw the heads of most merchant families from Bastak relocate to the Persian Gulf region, Karachi and the Indian Ocean regions.

After Al Hajj Mohammed Aqil died, his sons Mohammed Farooq, known as The Great Farooq and  Ahmed Al Arshi took over as the heads of the family expanding the business internationally and mainly trading in diamonds, pearls and precious stones. As Coles and Jakson put it "The Great Farooq’s generosity and hospitality earned him respect and a reputable status amongst Gulf royalty".

After Mohammed Farooq died, his son Abdulkarim Farooq became the heir to the family. Abdulkarim Farooq was also an advisor to the former rulers across the Persian Gulf.

Abdulkarim Farooq owned a general trading establishment in Al Bastakiya, Dubai known as London store which specialized in importing quality brands directly from London,UK. He was regarded as the "wealthiest man in Dubai and owned symbols of affluence which included a yacht".

The rapidly expanding family business is now a truly global brand through various members of the respectable family amongst which is son of Mohammed Aqil Mohammed Farooq Mohammed Aqil Arshi: web|url=http://www.thedowdays.com/wp/2013/11/17/zubair-farooq-dowite-1977-a-poet-in-4-languages/|title = Zubair Farooq: Dowite 1977: A Poet in 4 Languages|date = 17 November 2013}}</ref> and medical doctor.

Family members that currently rule the business including Mohammed Farooq Abdulkarim Farooq, Essa Farooq Abdulkarim Farooq and Rashid Farooq. The family is profoundly known for their ambitious, entrepreneurial and philanthropist stance and work with many international, commercial and Charitable organisations.

The female members of the Farooq family have also contributed successfully. Faiqa Farooq, daughter of The Great Farooq, was the Arab world's first female ambassador of the United Nations. Faiqa was born in Paris in 1929, and joined the diplomatic corps of Tunisia due to her Tunisian mother, and was soon posted to Washington as the Third Secretary.

Social responsibility
The Al Farooq family has a history of association with humanitarian causes. The Bait (house) Farooq in Bahrain played host to many events that contributed to the good of society. One of the most renowned political events that were held at the "Bait" Farooq during 1948, provided the initial impetus of Bahrain’s support for Palestine. The mass meeting led to many generous donations and lectures about Palestine during the year.

Today, the generosity of the Al Farooq family is evident through various landmarks such as a mosques  and the Farooq House  part of the Dubai creek heritage in Al Bastakiya, Dubai and a museum in Bandar Lengeh all named after the family.

The Al Arshi’s continue to support various global initiatives focused on humanitarian and environmental issues.

Trivia

In English, the family name is often spelt ‘Farooq’ / ‘Faruk’ or ‘Faruq’, however in Arabic and Persian the spelling is فاروق.

Businesses were often operated by the men of the Al Arshi family in Bandar Lengeh who would regularly travel back to Bastak during trading, to visit their families. Consequently, the family built a mosque in Al Bastakiya, one of the oldest a districts in Dubai. The mosque is now known as the Farooq Mosque.

The original wind tower house that this family lived in while staying in Bandar Lengeh has been turned into a museum and is sometimes called the Farooq mansion due to its size.

The Great Mohammed Farooq had close ties with the rulers of Arab States of the Persian Gulf, namely the late Sheikh Mohammed Bin Saqer Al Qasimi, the former ruler of Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah and the late Sheikh Saeed Bin Maktoum Al Maktoum, The former Ruler of Dubai.

Abdulkarim Farooq was an extremely close associate and advisor to the rulers of the Gulf, as was his father "The Great Farooq" before him.

The official Farooq family Seal of the two carved lions was placed at the entrance of Bayt Faruq in Bahrain Which is now current Day Ibn Sina medical hospital.

Faiqa Farooq, The Arab world's first women ambassador to the United Nations is from the Farooq and Al Arshi family.

The Farooq and Al Arshi family name have been recognized as one of the wealthiest families in the Persian Gulf area.

Two-thirds of the family currently resides in the UAE.

title: Black gill disease

text:
Black gill disease, also known as black spot disease or black death, is a disease affecting various species of marine animals, including shellfish and crustaceans, across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The disease is characterized by the visibly noticeable black melanated gills, speculated to be caused by a fungus called Fusarium solani or a similarly shaped ciliate. Human consumption of fish affected by black gill disease is harmless.

A significant portion of the aquaculture communities and fishing businesses have scientifically observed a steady decline in healthy fish capture since 1996, contributing to a shortage of shrimp and fish in the food industry. The origin of the fungus agent causing black gill disease is unknown and unlikely to dissipate. Researchers have also observed a causal relationship between the disease and environmental factors, such as waste spill contamination, ocean pollution, and climate change.

Studies to determine the prevalence of the disease have been largely conducted by methodically collecting batches of healthy and infected shrimp across regional coastlines. Two main species of shrimp used for research include Litopenaeus setiferus (white shrimp) and Farfantepenaeus aztecus (brown shrimp).

Characteristics

Black gill disease is visible to the human eye. Affected gills may exhibit crusted, surface-corroding, scattered light brown to black spots or a large black patch on one or both sides of the fish. Discoloration at the gill area will be distinct from the rest of the body. These symptoms are separate from gill fouling or fin rot.

Normal colored shrimp do not necessarily mean a lack of infection. Scientists have microscopically observed the ciliate in shrimp that had not reached the discoloration phase. Seen under an electron microscope, the foreign circular ciliates (30–38 µm) attach to the gill nodules, creating cystic imprints on the tissue. More rarely, the ciliate may penetrate the tissue and house invasively.

The fungus is potentially contagious. Upon capture, an infected head placed near an entirely healthy animal can infect the latter.

Causes
Many potential pathogens can cause black gill, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and ciliates. Abiotic stress, such as injury and foreign bodies, can also activate a crustacean's immune system and result in melanin production and black gill symptoms.

Research in the Persian Gulf, China, and India has resulted in an initial determination that a fungus exactly or related to Fusarium solani is responsible for black gill disease.

Extensive research ongoing since 2010 and funded by the University of Georgia has determined that an invasive ciliate strain, possibly Hyalophysa chattoni, attaches itself to gill nodules. The presumed ciliate propagates while activating oxygenation of phenols within the organic makeup of the sea creature. This oxygenation process results in melanin, leading to the visible black tissue. But most importantly, the ciliate impairs and blocks necessary respiratory processes and hemolymph flows for ion regulation. The diseased gills inhibit the entire immune system, leading to early natural death or inability to evade other ocean predators.

Metal contamination originating from industrial waste, oil spills, and general water pollution has been reported as a contributing factor to the black gill disease epidemic seen in crustaceans. A direct correlation has not been confirmed.

Environmental and climate changes affecting temperature and salt water content have been confirmed sources of parasite families, including ciliates. In a controlled environment, it is possible to prevent cases of black gill disease. The water should have 10-20 parts per thousand parts salinity and filtered. Scientists have reviewed ocean lifeforms in reference to possible effects of Pacifical Decadal Oscillation and El Niño climate occurrences, concluding the patterned emergence of black gill disease is linked to large-scale weather events.

Affected regions
Black gill disease is confirmed in fish, crabs, and shrimp at human populated coastlines across four continents. Each region’s scientists conducted histological study of shrimp control and diseased groups. The results present the universality of black gill disease across all water bodies.

Asia
 China: In 2020, seeking prevention methods against high shrimp death rates, Chinese shrimp farms conducted genetic testing of infected specimens, finalizing Fusarium solani as the cause. The experimental results concluded an 88.66% mortality rate amongst its diseased shrimp.
 Japan
 Philippines
 India: Researchers gathered over 500 yeast examples from India's southwestern coastline, concluding at least one fungus as fatal for shrimps.

North America
 Chesapeake Bay Area
 North Carolina
 South Carolina
 Georgia: The Georgia Department of Natural Resources has operated shrimp collection for academic purposes since 1976, affirming the presence of black gill disease since the early 2000s.
 Gulf of Mexico

Australia
 Black gilled crabs were detected by researchers, who cited a ciliate from the Apostomatida family as the cause.

Other impacts
The seafood industry based out of the Carolinas and Georgia experienced a decline in shrimp capture beginning from 1996, generating half the revenue by 2014 at $5.5 million.

University of Georgia’s research for the cause of black gill disease in the U.S. Southeast coast led to the first-time sequencing of rRNA (18S rRNA) gene (1634 bp) from the suspected Hyalophysa chattoni ciliate related strain. The sequence has been recorded in the National Center for Biotechnology Information Genbank database.

title: Charles Ho

text:
Charles Ho Tsu-kwok, GBM (, born 23 June 1949) is a Hong Kong businessman who was the chairman of the Sing Tao News Corporation Limited between 2001 and 2021 and an independent non-executive director of Shun Tak Holdings. As a member of the pro-Beijing camp, Ho maintains good relations with the Chinese government, and is appointed as a National Committee Member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference representing Fujian, serving in that post since 1998. Ho was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal, the highest award under the Hong Kong honours and awards system by Chief Executive CY Leung on July 1, 2014, although the decision to award Ho with such an award sparked controversy in the Hong Kong media.

Early life
Ho was born in Hong Kong with family roots in Fujian. He was the grandson of Ho Ying-chie (1911-2000), the founder and owner of the Hong Kong Tobacco Cooperation Limited, and the brother of David Ho, a Vancouver based entrepreneur. Ho founded the Sing Tao Newspaper Group Limited in 2001.

Events

Relation with CY Leung
On 9 December 2011, Ho, an outspoken supporter of Chief Executive Election candidate Henry Tang, publicly challenged Tang's opponent CY Leung in a press conference, questioning his ability to handle the top job in Hong Kong. Ho noted that one of Leung's companies, DTZ Holdings, has the values of its shares decreased to zero and declared bankruptcy, and thus fearing that "Hong Kong's economy would become zero because of Leung's wrong decisions.

However, in an interview on 30 August 2014, Ho withdrew his accusation towards CY Leung by praising Leung's efforts in improving people's livelihood, saying that Leung's decisions "hasn't made Hong Kong's economy become zero yet".

Awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal
On July 1, 2014, Ho was awarded the Grand Bauhinia Medal, the highest award under the Hong Kong honours and awards system by Chief Executive CY Leung for his "distinguished service to the community, particularly his contribution to the media industry." The decision to award Ho the highest honor sparked dismay among some Hong Kong media. Ho is originally considered a staunch supporter Henry Tang, CY Leung's major opponent in the 2012 Chief Executive Election. However, he switched sides and praised Leung as a competent leader immediately after he was elected, and has since then been a staunch supporter of CY Leung's government. Some media expressed opinions that Ho does not deserve the award, as they believe only "true heroes" should be honored instead of a "Yes man" like Ho.

Objections to "Civil Nomination"
In an interview on 30 August 2014, Ho commented on the civil nomination proposal demanded by members of the pro-democracy camp for the 2017 Chief Executive election, saying that there is no such thing as a "civil nomination" in any political system worldwide, and that he feared that the adoption of a "civil nomination" for Chief Executive may ultimately result in triads nominated for the post.

Reported entry denied to US
In early December 2019, there were unconfirmed reports that Ho was denied entry to the United States after the passing of Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. Ho denied the rumour and sued an online media for libel.

Politics
In December 2021, it was reported that Ho had a "privileged" vote in the 2021 Hong Kong legislative election, where the vote would count approximately 7,215 times more than an ordinary citizen.

Gregory Lyons Segal (born June 13, 1984) is an American entrepreneur.

Career
Segal began his career at Rethink Education, an education technology venture capital firm. In 2013 he co-founded the non-profit Organize to address the US organ donation shortage after his father waited five years for a heart transplant.

Segal's research has been heavily cited through two separate congressional investigations from the Senate Finance Committee and the House Oversight Committee  into failures and abuses in the U.S. organ donation system, and has led to regulatory reforms projected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to save more than 7,200 lives every year, disproportionately patients of color. In March 2023, the Biden administration announced it would break up the monopoly contract for the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, which manages the U.S. organ donation system.

For his work at Organize, Segal was named to the Inc Magazine 35 Under 35 List and Oprah's 100 SuperSoul Influencers, and was awarded a Tribeca Disruptive Innovation Award and a 2016 Classy Award. He was a keynote presenter at the 2015 Stanford MedX Conference, where Organize was honored with the Inaugural Stanford MedX Health Care Design Award. Organize won the $1 Million 1st Prize in the 2014 Verizon Powerful Answers Award as the top healthcare start-up of the year and was awarded the Innovator in Residence position at the Office of the Secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services. Inc Magazine called Segal one of the top 20 Disruptive Innovators of 2016.

Segal has been covered by The New York Times, which called Organize one of 2016's "Biggest Ideas in Social Change", as well as the Washington Post, Slate and FastCompany, and his work at Organize was highlighted on HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. Segal graduated from Duke University and was a member of President Barack Obama’s National Finance Committee. He is also a member of the board of directors at Bayes Impact and the Board of Advocates at Human Rights First.

title: Halophila baillonis

text:
Halophila baillonis is a species of aquatic plant in the family Hydrocharitaceae. It is referred to by the common name clover grass. It is native to Brazil, Cayman Islands, Colombia, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Leeward Islands, Netherlands Antilles, Panama, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela.  It is listed on the IUCN Red List as "vulnerable" due to its naturally rare occurrence and fragmented populations.

Description
This seagrass has fragile rhizomes with a single stem and a single root at each node. The shoots are erect and up to  long, each with two obovate, keeled, scales in the central portion and a pseudo-whirl of four leaves at the tip. The leaf-blades are oblong to lanceolate,  long by   wide, with pronounced midribs and fine marginal serrations. There may be as many as 2,500 shoots per square metre.

Distribution and habitat
Clover grass is native to the Caribbean area. It is known from several sites in the Greater Antilles, Lesser Antilles, Colombia, Venezuela and Belize, but its distribution is very patchy. It was previously known from Guanacaste Province on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, but has not been seen there since a severe storm in 1996 and is not known from elsewhere in the Pacific. It grows on sandy or muddy bottoms and its depth range is down to about . In 2015 it was found on the coast of Brazil in the state of Paraíba on a sheltered bar at the mouth of the Mamanguape River.

Ecology
Where it is plentiful, as in Belize, it is sometimes found growing among the prop roots of mangroves, intermingled with Thalassia testudinum, Halophila decipiens, Halodule wrightii and Caulerpa spp.. It provides food for the West Indian manatee and concealment for young nurse sharks. The scorched mussel lives in the seagrass meadows and fish such as the flag-fin mojarra and the permit feed on the mussels and consume the seagrass while doing so.

Status
This is a rare species of sea grass with a very fragmented distribution. Its greatest abundance is in the Placencia Lagoon in Belize, where it grows in dense monospecific stands. In several places, such as in Colombia and Puerto Rico, its presence has been confirmed in the past but it has not been found recently. Its total population seems to be in decline; its total area of occupancy is about  and it is known from about seven locations. For these reasons, the International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed its conservation status as being "vulnerable".
