title: Post Bellum

text:
Post Bellum is a Czech educational nonprofit organization based in Prague. The organization was formed in 2001 by a group of historians and journalists with the aim of increasing public knowledge of the 20th century history of the Czech Republic and neighboring countries, especially among younger generations. Post Bellum has collected thousands of witness accounts by conducting interviews with people who lived through significant periods in history as part of their documentation project, Stories of the 20th Century, and for their online archive, Memory of Nations. They organize various other projects and activities to raise awareness of modern history. The stated aim of the organisation is to "understand the past through authentic testimony". Post Bellum is an associate member organization of the Platform of European Memory and Conscience.

Memory of Nations

The organisation has created an archive of oral historical testimony entitled Memory of Nations, in partnership with the Institute for the Study of Totalitarian Regimes and Czech Radio. The archive is the largest online collection of testimonies in Central Europe, documenting the stories of "war veterans, Holocaust survivors, political prisoners, as well as members of the Communist Party, the Secret Police, and the People’s Militias". Witnesses are interviewed in their original language, then translated into English. The interviews are then archived online, where they can be browsed using different categories, dates, places, and so on, in order to locate anecdotes and interviews regarding specific events. Initially, Czech Radio provided the technical support to carry out the interviews and witness recordings, which were made exclusively in audio form and were available in wav or mp3 formats. In 2014, the organisation began using Eye Direct technology to record the testimonies. As of June 2023, there are 15968 witnesses in the database, 8357 published stories, as well as over 120,000 images and 50,000 clips.Notable people who have provided testimony for the database include Zdeňka Deitchová, Petr Placák, Augustin Bubník, Václav Havel, Helga Hošková-Weissová, Petr Pithart, Magdaléna Vášáryová, Milan Knížák, František Zahrádka, Felix Kolmer, and Rudolf Bereza.

Post Bellum also developed an app, Memory of Nations Sites, with an interactive map allowing users to access archive materials from the 20th century related to their current location.

The Memory of Nations Awards
The Memory of Nations Award is awarded to five recipients each year, since 2010, in recognition of bravery in standing up to totalitarian regimes. Recipients are chosen from among 20 nominees by a panel of judges from the fields of historical research, journalism, and politics. The ceremony takes place each year on 17 November, the anniversary of the beginning of the Velvet Revolution, and is broadcast live on television. Each year, the award ceremony has a different theme. In November 2014, the award was presented to people involved in resistance to the Iron Curtain in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Poland and Germany, to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the fall of communism in Europe.

The Run for Memory of Nations
The Run for Memory of Nations is an annual long-distance run organised to remember and honour Holocaust victims, political prisoners, veterans, and dissidents.

Stories from the 20th Century
Stories from the 20th Century is a radio show telling witnesses' stories from Post Bellum's Memory of Nations archive, that has aired every Sunday since 2006 on Czech Radio. The people interviewed include war veterans, Holocaust survivors, political prisoners of Nazi and Communist times, and members of minority groups.

Stories from the 20th Century was also the name of a documentary series that aired on Czech Television, focused on life during Normalization. The series featured interviews with StB agents, miners, members of the Communist party, gay people, and black market currency dealers.

Some episodes were adapted into books by the authors of the programme, Mikuláš Kroupa and Adam Drda. In 2008, the book Cruel Century (Kruté století) was published, followed in 2009 by the publication We didn't want to live under communism (V komunismu jsme žchtěli nechtěli). In 2014 and 2015, the authors contributed to the Unknown heroes (Neznámí hrdinové) book series.

Educational initiatives

Post Bellum is involved with a number of initiatives aimed at increasing public knowledge of totalitarian regimes, especially among young people. They use witness testimonies as part of workshops in schools in which students are encouraged to think critically about historical events, as well as "Experience Workshops", which involve immersion in historical events and students participating in role plays of events from the mid-1900s and the Normalization period.

Another educational initiative is "Our Neighbors’ Stories", a program in which students record witness testimonies locally, which are then retold through radio or TV. Students also carry out research into the witnesses' situations which is presented together with the testimony. Post Bellum has also published a number of educational books such as We Are Still At War and Forced Labour, graphic novels based on true stories of people affected by totalitarian regimes.

Memory of Nations Institutes

Memory of Nations Institutes (MNI) are multimedia exhibitions about the totalitarian regimes of the 20th century, based on the testimonies of those who directly experienced them from the Memory of Nations archives.

The first MNI was inaugurated on 15 March 2022 in Pardubice. The institute's core exhibition is "Quiet Heroes", which narrates stories from the 20th century using a blend of projections, unconventional effects, augmented reality, and interactive displays. The exhibition immerses visitors in World War II alongside two witnesses, Jaryna Mlchová and Tomáš Sedláček, and also includes three themed workshops: "Jews in the Protectorate," "The Second Resistance," and "Political Prisoners." The second MNI opened on 22 March 2022 in Olomouc, with an audiovisual exhibit entitled "Revealed Stories of the 20th Century", highlighting the stories of five witnesses to the Second World War and the Communist era in the Olomouc Region.

Later that year, another MNI was inaugurated in Brno. Post Bellum held 47 public events at the institute's city-center location at Radnická 10, including discussions featuring war veteran Roman Kopřiva, author Pavel Kosatík, and historian Denisa Nečasová. During autumn 2022, debates were convened with three of the candidates in the 2023 Czech presidential election: Danuše Nerudová, Marek Hilšer, and Pavel Fischer.

Other activities

Post Bellum has also documented witnesses in other parts of the world, such as the United States, Poland, and Israel. They have partnerships with the Visegrad Fund and the German Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future (EVZ) to record witness testimonies, and, in 2017, began a partnership with Florida International University to document the testimonies of Cuban dissidents.

Post Bellum has put on about 128 exhibitions all around Europe. In May–July 2012, they built a replica of Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp in Charles Square in Prague as part of an exhibition to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich.

After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Memory of Nations launched a crowdfunding campaign to provide military equipment and aid to the Ukrainian army. Testimonies of the conflict were also recorded and collected.

Overview
The Australian Legislative Ethics Commission, also referred to as ALECOMM, is a non-governmental organization established in 1998. Its primary objective is to promote ethical conduct within Australia's Family Law system through investigations and public transparency campaigns. The organization assists families who have experienced child removal by child protection agencies when caseworkers have not followed legal protocols, guidelines, and policy. ALECOMM recently registered as an Australian Charity to support its mission.

Work with Indigenous organisations
In recent years, the commission has been involved in collaborative work with various indigenous organisations in order to address grievances surrounding the increasing number of indigenous children being removed from families and placed in out-of-home care. This renewed awareness of Indigenous concerns comes after former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd (2007-2010, June 2013-September 2013) publicly apologised for the former so-called stolen generations, and has announced government intentions to actively participate in programs designed to improve the Family Law System and Children's Safety.

The recently assembled federal Senate Inquiry into Children in Out of Home Care brought forward with the assistance of MP David Shoebridge and other members of parliament has provided the Australian public a new opportunity for awareness as it pertains to inner workings and flaws of the state-run child protection protection services and has increased transparency around such issues. In particular, Senator Rachel Siewert has chaired the Inquiry's committee, which was due to report on out-of-home care in May 2015.

NGO activism with the Australian government
In the past five years, the commission has investigated dozens of matters whereby child protection agents seek to intimidate and censor by forcing a lawsuit against parents complaining against their unlawful actions. Such actions generally leave the parents without legal defence and/or contact with their children until they abandon public voicing of their grievances. ALECOMM, Australia's Legislative Ethics Commission, is now pushing to introduce anti-SLAPP (Strategic lawsuit against public participation) at the national level in order to ensure that agents of the State involved in care and protection matters are not denied justice because of the departments unlimited war-chest and magistrates inabilities to ensure that policy and procedure are followed at all times, preventing such unlawful actions against our sentient beings.

The charity has multiple interests in human rights and actively promotes the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights, and Universal Declaration of Human Rights through development of two systems linked direct to Geneva.  People can report human rights violations direct to the UN, and also report enforced disappearances.

Over the past decade, the commission has participated in many national rallies and attempts to bring to the forefront the high suicide rate of mothers who have had their children removed without lawful justification. Grandmothers who are then having to bury their own children are forced to fight the system that has taken their grandchildren in order to secure the type of burial they wish for their kin, as the department often claim they are the dead mothers next of kin and so choose how the deceased will be buried.

title: Touchin, Lovin

text:
"Touchin, Lovin" is a song by American singer Trey Songz, taken from his sixth studio album, Trigga (2014). The song features production from The Featherstones and a guest verse from Nicki Minaj. This is their second collaboration, the first being Bottoms Up. The song interpolates The Notorious B.I.G. and R. Kelly's song "Fuck You Tonight". It was released on September 9, 2014 as the sixth official single from Trigga.

Music video
The music video directed by Jason Zada was released on December 1, 2014. The video shows Trey Songz in a font of black background. Fans are allowed to click several symbols with different interaction effects of Trey and the girls.

The video began with Trey waking up from his bed and being offered two pills by a woman. If the red pill was chosen, a red-clad woman would come out of a red rose. If the blue pill was chosen, a woman with a white furry cloak would come out of a frozen tree. The next option is between a burning ice and a mirror. If the burning ice was chosen, two girls, one with red body paint and flames around her body, and the other one with blue body paint, would approach Trey. If the mirror was chosen. A woman in a black bikini will come out, the woman will slowly disappear in shadow. The third option is between a blue scarf and a diamond. If the scarf was chosen, a blond girl would come out and lip-sync the lyrics. If the diamond was chosen, a woman in a shiny diamond dress will come out. Nicki Minaj's part began with her sitting on a throne with a cane, and a few scene with Trey. The last option is between a withered tree with two snakes on top of it and a flock of butterfly. If the tree was chosen, a snake-dancer with a helmet will appear and seduce Trey with dances and snakes. If the butterfly flock was chosen, a girl will come out and summon a flock of butterfly towards Trey. The video ends with Trey waking up from a dream.

title: Gulf Rangers

text:
Gulf Rangers youth group (Hebrew: Shomrei Mifratz שומרי המפרץ) was established in 2004 by the Society for the Conservation of the Red Sea Environment, an environmental non-profit, volunteer NGO located in the southern Israeli city of Eilat. The Gulf Rangers program was created to empower local youth to preserve the sea environment and prevent further damage. The program curriculum develops the teenagers' sense of social responsibility through a combination of education and activism. After training, they are ready to become environmental leaders in their home community.

Objectives
Goal The ultimate goal of the Gulf Rangers program is to engage youth and the local community in the protection and preservation of the Gulf of Eilat for future generations to enjoy. Each year, between 40 and 60 youths aged 14–18, from Eilat and the neighboring Arava region, register for the program. Today there are about 500 graduates of the Gulf Rangers program.

The program is run by Mori Chen, a Society for the Conservation of the Red Sea Environment board member. Youth volunteering with the Gulf Rangers program take part in environmental trainings, including a certified diving course. This after school program consists of diving tuition, lectures, and presentations. Participants learn about the Red Sea, the environment, and the importance of recycling. Rangers also tour outdoor areas with experts who teach about the environment of Eilat and the Arava. The educational curriculum is designed to build individual's commitment to the environment and develop teamwork skills that serve the group in their community activities.

Community
Gulf Rangers spearhead environmental activities that contribute to the sustainability of the Red Sea. Once a month, equipped with red trash bags, the group participates in organized clean-up dives into the Red Sea. They spend up to an hour clearing the sea bed and corals of cigarette butts, plastic bags, glass bottles, soda and beer cans, ice-cream wrappers, debris, tires, and more. After each dive, the group gathers to sort the garbage. Municipality workers then take it away to disposal and recycling facilities. The Rangers remove approximately 300 kilos of trash from the Red Sea every year.

Rangers also clean up wadis (ephemeral river beds) around Eilat. By doing this, they prevent trash and contamination channeling into the Red Sea.

Rangers regularly participate in community environmental campaigns. They also patrol Eilat's beaches at weekends to teach the local community and tourists about environmental issues and threats to the sustainability of the Red Sea. As part of the program, Rangers become role models and mentors, teaching Eilat's elementary school children about recycling and their clean-up activities.

Awards
The Gulf Rangers program has gained the personal commendation of the city's mayor, Meir Yitzhak Halevy. In 2013, the group won the Negev Prize for the Environment and in 2014 was shortlisted for the Yediot Ahronot Green Heroes award.

title: William J. Vaughn

text:
William J. Vaughn (1834-1912) was an American university professor, school principal, librarian and book collector. He was one of the earliest Professors at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.

Early life
William James Vaughn was born on February 15, 1834, at Black Bluff, a settlement along the Alabama River in Wilcox County, Alabama. His father was James Pulliam Vaughn and his mother, Susan Rebecca Richards.

Vaughn received an A.B. in 1857 and an A.M. in 1860 from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Landon Garland (1810–1895) was one of his professors. He then received a Legum Doctor from the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi.

Career
Vaughn started his career at his alma mater, the University of Alabama, where he tutored Mathematics from 1857 to 1860. He continued to teach at Alabama during the American Civil War: as an Instructor of Latin and Greek from 1860 to 1863, and as a Professor of Mathematics from 1863 to 1865.

Shortly after the war, from 1865 to 1866, Vaughn served as Principal of the Tuscaloosa Female College, a defunct women's college in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. He then served as Principal of Centenary Institute, a defunct boarding school in Summerfield, Alabama, from 1867 to 1871. He returned to the University of Alabama to teach Physics and Astronomy from 1871 to 1873. He went on to serve as the President of the defunct Tennessee Female College in Franklin, Tennessee, from 1873 to 1878. Shortly after, he returned again to the University of Alabama, where he served as Professor of Mathematics again from 1878 to 1882. He also founded its Department of Engineering in 1881-1882.

Vaughn spent the rest of his career at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, a newly established college thanks to a gift from railroad magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt. He was recruited by his former professor and now Vanderbilt University Chancellor, Landon Garland (1810–1895). He lived at the Vaughn House on the Vanderbilt University campus, now home to the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities. He was Professor of Mathematics from 1882 to 1896, and Professor of Mathematics and Astronomy from 1896 to his death in 1912. One of his students was Edward Emerson Barnard (1857–1923). He also served as the main librarian (a precursor to Dean of Libraries) at Vanderbilt University from 1886 to his death. He also founded the Vanderbilt chapter of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, an honor society.

Additionally, Vaughn was a renowned book collector and an avid reader. He read more than ten foreign languages, including Sanskrit and Russian. He owned about 6,000 books, five hundred of which were about the French Emperor Napoleon (1769-1821); they were all donated to the Vanderbilt University library after his death.

Personal life
On August 17, 1865, shortly after the Civil War, Vaughn married Abbie Maria Scott (1841-1923) in Marion, Alabama. He was thirty-one and she was twenty-four. They had three children:
William Massey Vaughn (August 6, 1866 – November 26, 1949).
Eugene Houghton Vaughn (October 25, 1868 – March 6, 1920).  He married Margaret Musgrave.
Harry Scott Vaughn (January 4, 1870 – February 14, 1958). He married Florence Sloan.

Death and legacy
Vaughn died on December 1, 1912, in Nashville, Tennessee. His portrait, taken circa 1850, can be seen in the William Stanley Hoole Special Collections Library at the University of Alabama. His grandson, William S. Vaughn (1903–1996), was a prominent businessman who served on the Board of Trust of Vanderbilt University from 1952 to 1995.

title: Dare Me (novel)

text:
Dare Me is a 2012 mystery novel written by Megan Abbott. The novel centers on American cheerleading. The book explores themes of friendship, obsession and power.

Plot
The story is based on the world of American cheerleading. The main characters are Addy, the 16-year-old narrator, her friend Beth and the cheerleading coach.

The friendship between Addy and Beth goes back to their childhood. Beth is manipulative and often cruel; she has always been the leader with Addy her faithful lieutenant. A new coach arrives, things change very quickly and very soon she and Beth engage in a battle of wills. Addy adores Coach and is always willing to do her bidding, which in turn fuels Beth's jealousy; when the other team members gather at Coach's house for drinking sessions, Beth does not go there, but always watches, waiting for her moment. The girls are pushed to physical and psychological extremes as they vie for the best position on the team. Injury is just one wobble away. Then one dark night Addy is drawn into a nightmare.

Reception
Dare Me was generally well-received by critics, including starred reviews from Booklist, Kirkus Reviews, Kirkus called the novel "[c]ompelling, claustrophobic and slightly creepy in a can’t-put-it-down way."

The Independent called the book a "mesmerising piece of prose combining deep characterisation and insight with a truly nerve-shredding crime plot." Publishers Weekly said the it is "deliciously slick and dark, matching her characters’ threatening circumstances, and the plot is tight and intense."

Entertainment Weekly gave the book an A- rating and highlighted that it makes a traditionally masculine genre feel distinctly female. It feels groundbreaking when Abbott takes noir conventions — loss of innocence, paranoia, the manipulative sexuality of newly independent women — and suggests that they’re rooted in high school, deep in the hearts of all-American girls.

Adaptation

In late January 2019, a series based on the novel was ordered by USA Network and Netflix.

title: Daniel Pepper

text:
Daniel Pepper (born 2 March 1989) is an English Paralympian swimmer. Pepper competes in the S14 disability category in freestyle and breaststroke. He represented Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in London, and in 2010 he won two gold medals at the World Championships in Eindhoven.

Swimming career
Pepper began swimming at the age of four, as his parents were concerned about the canal that backed onto their home and wanted him to be able to swim. From practising in his local pool in Stockport he was spotted by the local swimming club and was invited to join. As Pepper has a learning disability similar to a dyslexia he was given an S14 parasport classification. His disability affects his ability to both retain instruction and co-ordination.

Pepper had hopes that the times he was recording would make him eligible for the British team at the 2004 Summer Paralympics in Athens, but after the basketball controversy at the 2000 Games, his classification was dropped from all events by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). Pepper's initial reaction was one of anger and he decided to quit the sport, but a month later his coach persuaded him to return to training.

In 2009 the IPC decided to lift the ban on S14 entrants and Pepper was able to enter his first major international event, the 2009 IPC Swimming European Championships in Reykjavik, Iceland. There he entered three events, the 100m freestyle, 100m breaststroke and the 200m individual medley, taking gold in all three. The following year Pepper travelled to Eindhoven to represent Britain at the 2010 IPC Swimming World Championships entering two events. In the 100m breaststroke he recorded a time of 1:11.08 to take gold, a feat he repeated in the 200m freestyle making him a double world champion. He followed this in 2011 with his second European Championship, this time in Berlin. He failed to defend his 100m breaststroke, coming second to take silver, but victory in the 200m Freestyle gave him his fourth European Championship gold.

With the coming of the 2012 Summer Paralympics it was announced that several S14 events would be included in the swimming schedule for the first time. Pepper was part of the Great Britain team and was selected for two events, the 200m freestyle and the 100m breaststroke. Pepper swam in heat 1 of the 200m freestyle. As it was the inaugural race of this event under the S14 classification, by coming first with a time of 2:01.94, Pepper, by default, became the Paralympic champion. His reign was short lived as his time was beaten by Iceland's Jon Margeir Sverrisson in the very next heat. In the final Pepper was unable to improve on his first round heat time and finished seventh. In the breaststroke he was again placed in the first heat. Pepper finished third in a race which saw Russia's Artem Pavlenko set a new World record. As one of the slowest qualifiers, Pepper was placed in the unfavorable first lane and again finished seventh.

In 2013 Pepper returned to represent Great Britain, travelling to Montreal to compete in the 2013 IPC Swimming World Championships. He swam in two events taking the silver in 200m individual medley.

Podcast
In 2021, Dan Pepper presented a six-part documentary, The Fake Paralympians, for the BBC World Service.  The series investigated the events that led up to the ban on intellectual impairment sports at the Paralympics; a ban imposed after the Spanish basketball squad was found to only have two players with genuine disabilities at the Sydney 2000 Paralympics. The series also looked at the impact the nine-year ban had on Dan's career as well as other athletes with learning disabilities.

Dan said of the series: "I hope people learn that people with a learning impairment can do a variety of things - me presenting this show is obviously part of that. I'm hoping that people's views on intellectual disability sport will change, and I’m hoping to show what we've gone through to get to where we are today and where we would like to get to in the future.”

title: List of bees of Sri Lanka

text:
Sri Lanka is a tropical island situated close to the southern tip of India. The invertebrate fauna is as large as it is common to other regions of the world. There are about 2 million species of arthropods found in the world, and still it is counting. So many new species are discover up to this time also. So it is very complicated and difficult to summarize the exact number of species found within a certain region.
The following list provide the bees of Sri Lanka.

Bees
Phylum: Arthropoda   Class: Insecta
Order: Hymenoptera.
Suborder: Apocrita.

Bees are the primary pollinators of terrestrial flowering plants. The hairs within its body helps to function as efficient pollinators. The highest bee diversity is confined to warm temperate regions of the world. There are about 70,000 bee species described in the world with nearly 450 genera and 7 families. Out of them, Sri Lanka comprises 149 species included to 38 genera and 4 families. The bee researches are extensively carried out by Dr. Inoka Karunaratne et al. from University of Peradeniya.

title: International Post Corporation

text:
International Post Corporation (IPC) is a cooperative association of 25 national postal services from major countries in Europe, Asia Pacific and North America. IPC's main activities are providing assistance to its postal members, whose businesses activities include mail, parcels, express, logistics, retail and banking services.

IPC was founded in 1989 and since then its main activities have been to upgrade quality and service performance, to develop technology to help members improve service for international letters, parcels and express, and to provide industry intelligence and platforms for cooperation between posts. Its headquarters are in Brussels, Belgium.

Membership and governance

Membership

IPC members represent postal operators from Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region. IPC Shareholding Members are allocated a minimum number of shares based on their total addressed mail volumes (i.e. total letter mail handled and delivered inside and outside the organisation’s home country, excluding unaddressed mail and newspapers but including magazines). All IPC members should have a universal service obligation for the provision of mail services although the Board is authorised to admit members without such an obligation.
IPC’s current members are:

Governance
IPC is a cooperative company governed by a Board, composed of the chief executive officers from eleven IPC members plus IPC's president and chief executive. The board is chaired by Dag Medjell.
IPC’s current CEO is Holger Winklbauer.

Mission and activities
International Post Corporation was founded in 1989 and is headquartered in Brussels, Belgium.
IPC was founded with a double role: provide a platform to exchange intelligence between its member posts, and develop and support systems to improve international mail services through quality of service and interoperability.

IPC’s main activities include:

 Upgrading international mail quality
 Providing industry intelligence and research
 Providing platforms for senior management

Mail quality

IPC’s core activity is to develop and provide technological solutions to support member postal operators in achieving quality of service performance requirements. These services focus on upgrading and maintaining member posts’ end-to-end performance for cross-border mail through monitoring and streamlining international mail processes.

IPC deploys a number of technology infrastructures and systems such as radio frequency identification (RFID), item monitoring and a harmonised customer service system (CSS), which provide transparency in international mail movements, provision of full operational information and data for calculating intercompany payments, detailed enquiry processing and quality of service performance results.

IPC also focuses on key areas for the postal sector like, e-commerce, intercompany pricing and sustainability. In 2009, the company launched its sector-wide sustainability programme, which aimed at reducing the carbon emissions of its participants by 20% by 2020 - a target which was attained in 2018. The company is also a signatory to the UN Global Compact.

Market research
IPC’s marketing function focuses on creating intelligence on market developments and sharing best practice between posts. Through the close relation with the postal industry, IPC carries out research and gathers intelligence within the postal industry. Some the areas analysed are direct marketing, e-commerce, digital business and environmental sustainability.

Collaboration
IPC is a cooperative member organisation and as such one of its goals is to provide a framework for networking and knowledge sharing by establishing platforms. These platforms bring together senior postal executives across a range of functions and facilitate further postal operator cooperation by leading groups dedicated to developing solutions to specific cross-border market requirements.

title: Ya'ammu Nubwoserre

text:
Nubwoserre Ya'ammu (also  rendered as Ya'amu, Jamu and Jaam) was a ruler during the Second Intermediate Period of Egypt. This Asiatic-blooded ruler is traditionally placed in the Sixteenth Dynasty, an hypothesis still in use nowadays by scholars such as Jürgen von Beckerath; although recently Kim Ryholt proposed him as the second ruler of the 14th Dynasty.

Identification
This ruler seems to have made little use of the cartouche – which was a pharaonic prerogative – since it was used only for the throne name, Nubwoserre, though not always. His personal name never appears inside a cartouche, and is simply reported as "the son of Ra, Ya'ammu".

Similar to his suggested predecessor Yakbim Sekhaenre, there is no direct evidence that Ya'ammu's throne name was Nubwoserre: the association is based on stylistic features of the seals and was proposed by William Ayres Ward and later elaborated by Ryholt; Daphna Ben-Tor disputed this identification, pointing out that the seals of the many rulers living during this period are too similar to make such correlations on the basis of mere design features. The Turin King List can not help with this issue since the ruler does not appear on it, likely due to a lacuna.

Assuming that Ward and Ryholt were right, Nubwoserre Ya'ammu is attested by 26 rather crude scarab seals (more precisely, 19 naming Nubwoserre and 7 naming Ya'ammu); based on that, Ryholt estimated for him a reign length of around ten years, in the interval 1780–1770 BCE. However, about the events of his reign absolutely nothing is known.

Israeli Egyptologist Raphael Giveon identifies Ya'ammu with his proposed predecessor Yakbim.

title: Iris subg. Iris

text:
Subgenus Iris is one subgenus of Iris.

Iris as a plant was originally named by Carl Linnaeus in his book Systema Naturae (in 1735), with a great number of species being added into the genus. Including new ones that were found after the book's publication.
The division of irises into various subgroups, has taken various forms over the years. By the 19th century botanists had created new genera such as Evansia, Hermodactylus, Moraea, Oncocyclus, and Xiphion. Opinion was often divided whether to split the genus into several parts or lump them back into Iris. From J. G. Baker, who separated some such as Moraea and Xiphion from Iris in his book 'Handbook of the Irideae' (published in London) in 1892. Then William R. Dykes, who clarified the situation by a compromise in his monograph The Genus Iris (by Cambridge University Press, 1913; later reprinted in 1974 by Dover). He was the first to term the subgroup as Iris sect. Iris.
's 1961 reclassification in The Genus Iris (written in Russian, Moscow, 1961) was more comprehensive in that he split the genus into five genera: Iris (which included all rhizomatous irises).
A taxonomic revision by Brian Mathew in 1981 (The iris, New York: Universe Books), recognized six subgenera: Nepalensis Dykes, Xiphium (Miller) Spach, Scorpiris Spach, Hermodactyloides Spach, Iris L. and Limniris Tausch.
Recently, DNA analysis has been used to determine groupings.

The Iris subgenus has been divided into six sections; bearded irises (or pogon irises), Psammiris, Oncocyclus, Regelia, Hexapogon and Pseudoregelia. Sections Oncocyclus and Regelia are also called aril irises.

Section bearded irises (or pogon irises)

This is the largest section of the subgenus, the true bearded irises. Most irises come from Southern or eastern Europe. 'Pogon' refers to the Greek word for beard. It has several species of iris including;

Psammiris
This section of irises was first described by Spach.
Most of the Irises come from Russia and Northwest China. Mostly rhizomatous, and flowering in late spring.

Oncocyclus

Oncocyclus irises are rhizomatous perennials. They also generally need rich soils that drain easy and are in full sun. Most also prefer a dry period after flowering.
The Oncocyclus irises are mostly from Turkey, Caucasus and Iran. The plants usually have only one flower, which is veined or spotted. Some of these species have been bred with bearded irises to create unique colours and markings. Oncocyclus is a Greek word, with onco meaning mass, or bulk, and cyclus meaning circle. In 1846, the term 'Oncocyclus' was first used by C.H. Siemssen as the Genus Oncocyclus in 1846 in Botanische Zeitung. Baker then re-classified it to a subgenus in 1877, than Dykes lowered it to a section in 1914, where it currently remains.

title: Præsidenten

text:
Præsidenten (The President) is a 1919 Danish silent film by Carl Theodor Dreyer. It is the first feature film directed by Dreyer and it is an adaptation of the 1884 novel Der Präsident by Karl Emil Franzos.

Plot
The film tells a story of women seduced and abandoned over four generations. It follows three periods in the life of Karl Victor von Sendlingen, a Danish aristocrat living in a small city at the turn of the 20th century. The chronological narrative is interrupted by flashbacks recalling past events.

The film starts on the last day in the life of Karl Victor's father, Franz Victor von Sendlingen. Franz Victor takes his son to the ruins of the old family castle where he confesses how as a young man he had made pregnant the porter's daughter and was forced by his father Rigsherre von Sendlingen to marry her. Before dying, he asks Karl Victor to swear on the family coat of arms that he will never marry a commoner, "as no good ever comes from such an alliance".

Thirty years later, Karl Victor, now the president of the tribunal of his home-town, comes back home from a long absence. He is welcomed at the station by Vice-President Werner, who has replaced him during his absence. When is given the list of pending cases, he sees recognises the name of Victorine Lippert, accused of infanticide. When her lawyer, Georg Berger, who is his best friend, comes to discuss her case, he tells him that she is his daughter. As a young man, he had an adventure with her mother Hermine Lippert, the governess of his uncle's children. When he had told his uncle that he wanted to marry her, he had reminded him of the oath made to his father never to marry a commoner. He had kept his oath even after learning eventually that she had given birth to a baby girl. Karl Victor refuses to chair the tribunal when her case is heard, to keep intact his honour as a judge. During the trial, Berger asks for clemency because of the circumstances of the case. An orphan at 17, Victorine went to work as a governess for a heartless lady whose son seduced her. When he heard she was pregnant, he wrote a letter to his mother asking her to deal with the situation in the best possible way. The lady threw Victorine out of her castle in the middle of the night and she was found on the side of the road the next morning, unconscious and with her dead infant next to her. Victorine is nevertheless sentenced to death by the tribunal chaired by Werner. Karl Victor goes to see her in her cell with Berger. She agrees to see him because her mother had asked her to tell her father, if she ever was to see him, that she had forgiven him. Karl Victor presents a petition for clemency. A few weeks later, he learns that the request is rejected and that he is promoted to another city. He organises, with his servants Franz and Birgitta, Victorine's escape during the banquet offered to thank him for his exemplary tenure as president of the city's tribunal. Before leaving the town to escape to a neighbouring country, he writes a letter tendering his resignation for health reasons.

Three years later, on a boat trip abroad, Berger meets Weyden, a plantation owner from Java. When the boat stops at Weyden's destination, Berger recognises on the pier Victorine and her father who have come to welcome him. He asks Franz, who has come aboard to carry Weyden's luggage, to tell Karl Victor that he will always remember him with love and respect. The following Sunday, Victorine and Weyden are married at the village church. The following day, Karl Victor goes back home and confesses to Werner, now president of the tribunal, that he had organised Victorine's escape. Werner refuses to have him punished as the revelation of his crime would undermine confidence in the judiciary. When Karl Victor threatens to make a public confession, Werner tells him that if he does, he will find his daughter to have her sentence executed. During the following night, after writing his will, Karl Victor goes to the ruins of the old family castle to kill himself.

title: När vi gräver guld i USA

text:
"När vi gräver guld i USA" ("When We Dig for Gold in the USA") was a song which was used as fight song for the Swedish national team during the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the United States, where Sweden ended up third. During the Grammis Awards for 1994, it won the category "Song of the year 1994".

The song was written and recorded by Swedish pop trio Glenmark Eriksson Strömstedt. The words När vi gräver guld i USA (When we dig gold in the USA), which appear in the chorus, refer to both 19th century gold rushes in the USA, as well as to the gold medals awarded for the FIFA World Cup winner.

Staying at the Swedish singles chart for totally 40 weeks, the single  topped the chart.

The song also charted at Svensktoppen for nine weeks between 18 June and 13 August 1994, peaking at second position.

The song lyrics "Flickorna har blommor i sitt hår, där står alla pojkarna på rad, tillsammans är vi oslagbara!" contain references to three other songs by the writers. The songs are Anders Glenmark's "Hon har blommor i sitt hår", Orup's "Då står pojkarna på rad" and Niklas Strömstedt's "Oslagbara".

Amanda Jenssen version

In October 2014, the song was performed during Så mycket bättre in season 5 of the Swedish musical series. During "Orup Dag" ("Orup Day") when the participants were to pick songs from Orup to perform, Amanda Jenssen chose "När vi gräver guld i USA" reinterpreting the English version as "When We Dig for Gold in the USA". Her interpretation was a toned down much slower version as compared to the original hectic version meant as a rally of support for the Swedish National Football Team.

Her interpretation became very popular with the public. The release of the new version as downloads resulted in the single reaching number 4 on the Swedish Singles Chart.

title: Format-transforming encryption

text:
In cryptography, format-transforming encryption (FTE) refers to encryption where the format of the input plaintext and output ciphertext are configurable. Descriptions of formats can vary, but are typically compact set descriptors, such as a regular expression.

Format-transforming encryption is closely related to, and a generalization of, format-preserving encryption.

Applications of FTE

Restricted fields or formats

Similar to format-preserving encryption, FTE can be used to control the format of ciphertexts. The canonical example is a credit card number, such as 1234567812345670 (16 bytes long, digits only).
However, FTE does not enforce that the input format must be the same as the output format.

Censorship circumvention

FTE is used by the Tor Project to circumvent deep packet inspection by pretending to be some other protocols. The implementation is ; it was written by the authors who came up with the FTE concept.
