title: Krassimir Ivandjiiski

text:
Krassimir Ivanov Ivandjiiski (, born 15 June 1947) is a former Soviet-era Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Trade official who, since 1994, has been the publisher and editor-in-chief of the Bulgarian political news website, Strogo Sekretno (; English "Top Secret").  Krassimir is also the father of Daniel Ivandjiiski, founder of the U.S.-based alt-right website, Zero Hedge.

Career
Ivandjiiski was born on 15 June 1947 in Vrabevo, Bulgaria. He graduated from the English college in Sofia in 1966 and, in 1971, graduated from the Warsaw University of Planning and Economics with an M.Sc. in Foreign Trade.  From 1973, Ivandjiiski worked at the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Trade. In 1974, he became a member of the International Organization of Journalists (an organisation labelled as a front for Soviet propaganda). In 1975, he was an international correspondent for the Rabotnichesko Delo newspaper. From 1978 to 1982, he was head of the Bulgarian Offices for Central Europe: Prague, Warsaw, and Vienna; and from 1985 to 1990, was head of the Bulgarian Offices for Africa: Zimbabwe and Ethiopia.

After the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, from 1991, Ivandjiiski states that he headed a political and economic think-tank group (the name of the group(s) are not given). From 1984 to 1994, he also states that he was a guest professor in geopolitics, geoeconomics and international relations (the names of the universities are not given).

Since 1994, Ivandjiiski has been the publisher and editor-in-chief of the website Strogo Sekretno (; English "Top Secret"), and monthly publication Bulgarian Confidential. Strogo Sekretno describes itself as: "Above all, Top Secret is a national political newspaper. It is the only independent newspaper in Bulgaria, which is the only real alternative to manipulated mass media."

Strogo Sekretno has been criticized by New Republic writer Seth Hettena as antisemitic and promoting misinformation, citing the example of an article portraying the COVID-19 pandemic as a Western Zionist "act of bioterrorism". The American Jewish Congress criticized a statement in the article saying that:“More than any other region of the planet, scientific researchers and investigative journalists alike throughout the Middle East appear to be fully abreast of the “Who” and “Why” behind this bioengineered coronavirus pandemic...The bottom line to the “Cio bono?” question is that Zionism always wins, while everyone always loses... China and Russia both lose. So does Iran. The US and UK will ultimately lose even though they might look like winners. India and Pakistan both lose. The entire Middle East loses again except Israel. Just watch how this pandemic evolves across the planet and we shall see who really started it from their safe haven.”In 2019, Ivandjiiski filed a criminal complaint in a court in Bulgaria against Seth Hettena, an American journalist who previously wrote about Zero Hedge, and its connections to Bulgaria; the complaint was dismissed by a court.

Personal life

Ivandjiiski's profile on Strogo Sekretno (Bulgarian: Строго секретно; English "Top Secret"), describes him as: "Married, one son – leading world financial and economic expert", however, his son is not named. A September 2009 article by New York, stated that his son is Daniel Ivandjiiski, the founder of the U.S-based financial website, Zero Hedge.  Litigation in 2019 reported Krassimir as Daniel's father.

A 27 March 2012 complaint, named Daniel K. Ivandjiiski of the website, Zero Hedge, as a co-conspirator in a civil suit alleging a short and distort stock manipulation scheme regarding the GEROVA Financial Group, in which Daniel was vindicated with the SEC prosecuting several major GEROVA investors and company executives in September 2015, who were sentenced to jail in 2017, named his father as Krassimir Ivandjiski, and re-printed translated material from the Strogo Sekretno website regarding his profile.  The complaint stated that in March 2012, the owner of the zerohedge.com domain name, ABC Media Limited, was registered at the same Sofia, Bulgaria, P.O. Box 814, as the correspondence for  strogosekretno.com website.

title: Chaube Jagirs

text:
The Chaube Jagirs, also known as Kalinjar Chaubes, jagir states were a group of five feudal states of Central India during the period of the British Raj. They were a British protectorate from 1823 to 1947 and belonged to the Bagelkhand Agency. Their last rulers acceded to India in 1948.

History

Raja Chhatrasal of Panna State appointed Mandhata Chaube as the killedar of fort Kalinjar. His father Gangaram Chaube, a Jujhautiya Brahmin, commanded Chhatrasal when he raised the banner of revolt against the Mughals in Bundelkhand. Mandhata also repelled many Mughal attempts to occupy the fort. Kherandesh Khan, the faujdar of Itawa, attacked Kalinjar in 1701, but could not capture fort  because of Mandhata's stiff resistance.

Later Chaube Brahmin officials rose from gentry to nobility. The owners of the first four estates were descendants of Ram Kishan, the former governor of Kalinjar under Raja Hirde Sah of Panna. Ram Kishan Chaube lost the siege of Kalinjar Ali Bahadur I died during the long siege. Later Chaubes occupied the fort and Ram Kishan declared Independence.

In 1862 the jagirdars were granted a sanad of adoption. The rule was that when no heirs were available an estate was split between the other members. The initial nine principalities by 1839 were reduced by two. In 1855 one estate was seized owing to the implication of the ruler in a murder case. In 1864 another principality was extinguished, leaving only five.

The Jagirdars were under the Bundelkhand Agency of the Central India Agency until 1896 when they were transferred to the Baghelkhand Agency. In 1931 they returned to the Bundelkhand Agency.

Chaube estates
The five surviving estates were:
Bhaisunda
Kamta-Rajaula
Pahra
Paldeo
Taraon

Annexed by the British
Three states were confiscated by the British:

 Purwa with nine villages and an area of 53.18 km2 was annexed in 1855.
 Nayagaon with 18 villages and an area of 65.11 km2 was annexed in 1864.

text:
Quaid-e-Azam Tourist Lodge (), also known as the Barsala Tourist Lodge, Dak Bungalow, and Quaid-i-Azam Memorial Rest House, is a historic dak bungalow located in Kohala, Muzaffarabad District, Azad Kashmir. It is named after the first Pakistani governor-general, Muhammad Ali Jinnah known as Quaid-e-Azam, who resided there in 1944.

Location
The lodge serves as a popular tourist attraction. It is located at a distance of  from Islamabad, the Pakistani capital, and  from Muree. On the way to Muzaffarabad, the Azad Kashmir capital, it is only 3 km (2 mi) from the Kohala Bridge, that serves as the entry point to Azad Kashmir.

Historical significance
The lodge was first built during the Dogra rule by the Hindu Dogra dynasty. The founder of Pakistan, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, and his sister Madar-e-Millat Fatima Jinnah, stayed here on 25 July 1944 when they were returning from Srinagar on their way to Rawalpindi. A wall plaque was unveiled by the then Azad Kashmir Prime Minister Sardar Sikandar Hayat Khan on 14 August 2001, commemorating the visit of Jinnah. The chair used by Jinnah has been preserved and can be seen in the lodge.

2005 earthquake
On 8 October 2005, the historic lodge was damaged by a 7.6 MW earthquake with epicenter at Muzaffarabad. Efforts were undertaken by the Government of Azad Kashmir to restore the heritage site, and the AJK Tourism and Archeology Department repaired the tourist point. It now has seven rooms for tourists.

Overview

Liga I

The Liga I fixture list was announced on 2 July 2014.

Universitatea Craiova started their league campaign against Pandurii Targu Jiu in a thrilling match that ended in a 1–1 draw. The game saw over 15,000 fans flock to the "Ion Oblemenco" stadium to support the home team. Both teams began the game with caution, but Universitatea quickly took charge of the game, with Curelea coming close to scoring in the 13th minute, but his lobbed shot missed the target. The rest of the half saw Universitatea control the game but unable to find the final pass. The second half saw Ferfelea and Curelea creating more chances, and Pleșan's entry at halftime energized the home team's attack. Against the run of play, Pandurii took the lead in the 75th minute, when Shalaj took advantage of a lack of synchronisation in Craiova's defense. Despite Curelea missing several chances, including one that hit the crossbar, he eventually found the back of the net in the 87th minute to level the score at 1-1.

In their next match against Steaua Bucharest, Universitatea Craiova put up a valiant effort but ultimately lost 3–1. The Craiova team played without Mateiu and Pleșan, who were injured, and manager Jerry Gane experimented with Madson and Nuno Rocha in midfield. Despite conceding a goal in the third minute, Universitatea attacked Steaua relentlessly, and Băluță's chance in the second half went begging. Steaua proved too experienced for the young Craiova team, and the game ended 3–1 in favor of the home team.

Universitatea Craiova faced Viitorul Constanta in their next game, which ended 2-2. The visitors took the lead from a penalty, but two Curelea goals before halftime put the home team in front. It was a tight game, and Mitrea's second-half free-kick equalized for Viitorul, with both teams creating chances to win in the closing stages. The point was well-deserved for the Craiova team, who showed their fighting spirit.

Cupa României

Universitatea Craiova entered the Romanian Cup at the Round of 32.

Their first opponents were second division side FC Caransebeș. Playing with several second string players, Craiova started the game brightly and missed two early chances. Ferfelea's free-kick almost hit the target and Herghelegiu was unable to tap in the ball from inside the six-yard box. In the 25th minute Ferfelea's cross-shot was deflected in the goal by Caransebeș defender Goşa, and Craiova opened the score. After the goal, Craiova's players relaxed and Lupu equalized after a hesitation from the central defenders. The Students were unfazed by the goal and continued to attack, but they were unable to find the net. The numerical equilibrium was broken after Lupu was sent off in the 67th minute. Soon after, Ferfelea received a pass in the middle of the penalty area and scored the winning goal.

In the Round of 16 Universitatea was drawn to play at home against Viitorul Constanța. Craiova created a few early chances through Băluță and Ferfelea, but they were unable to score. Viitorul replied through ex-Craiova player Neacșa, who escaped in a one on one situation with the goalkeeper, but his weak shot was unable to threaten the goal and the first half ended scoreless. Craiova started the second half on the offensive, and their efforts were rewarded when a Curelea volley was boxed by Viitorul's goalkeeper to Băluță, who scored from close range. Despite playing in 10 men after the sending off of Puțanu, Viitorul equalized in stoppage time after a corner and sent the game into extra-time. In the 97th minute, Craiova winger Bancu suffered a double leg fracture that sidelined him for most of the remaining of the season. Mateiu scored the winning goal in the 112th minute and sent Craiova through to the quarter-finals.

title: Ideal (play)

text:
Ideal is a play written by Ayn Rand. It follows Kay Gonda, a movie star suspected of murder, as she seeks support from various fans, most of whom disappoint her. Written in the 1930s, it was never produced or published during Rand's lifetime. Since her death it has since been published multiple times and produced twice, in 1989 and 2010.

History
Rand originally wrote the story as a novelette in 1934, and revised it to a stage play around 1936. The text of the play was first published in 1984 as part of The Early Ayn Rand, an anthology of Rand's previously unpublished fiction. It was re-published in 2005 in Three Plays, alongside her plays Night of January 16th and Think Twice.

In 1989, Michael Paxton staged the play at the Melrose Theater, a 99-seat venue in Los Angeles, California. The production opened on October 13, 1989, and closed on November 19, 1989. A video of the production was released in 2004.

In 2010, it was produced as an Off-Broadway show at the 59E59 Theaters in New York. Karina Martins produced and Jenny Beth Snyder directed. It opened on June 17, 2010, and closed on July 3, 2010.

On July 7, 2015, Penguin Random House published an edition featuring the novelette version of Ideal along with the play version.

Reception
The story is generally regarded as a poor fit for theater. In his preface for its publication, Rand's heir Leonard Peikoff described the play as "unavoidably somewhat static" and lacking a "developed plot structure". Ronald Merrill said it would have been better left as a novelette because it is "not well suited to the stage".

The 1989 production received mixed reviews. The reviewer for the Los Angeles Times disliked the play's "clunky structure", but complimented the staging, scenery, costumes and other elements for bringing life to the production. In Liberty magazine, the reviewer complimented Rand's writing skills and the "remarkable production design", but found the lighting and direction lacking.

The 2010 production received negative reviews from The New York Times, the New York Post, The Village Voice, and Backstage.

Commercial

title: Capones Island

text:
Capones Island, also known as Grand Capon or Capon Grande Island (Spanish: Isla de Capon Grande) is a small island approximately  long by  wide, at its widest point, lying some  off the coast of the province of Zambales on western Luzon island in the Philippines. It is the largest of the Capones Islands (Islotes de los Capones), a group of three small islands which also includes nearby Camara Island and another islet connected to it by a sand bar. The island is administratively part of barangay Pundaquit of the Zambales municipality of San Antonio.

The island is characterized by huge rock formations and steep cliffs surrounded by white sand and coral beaches. The Capones Island Lighthouse is located on the hillside near the western end of the island.

Proposed marine park
The marine areas surrounding Capones Island as well as portions of the adjacent coastline of barangays Pundaquit and San Miguel rich in fish and coral reefs currently has no special protection. The decline in fish catch brought about by the Mount Pinatubo eruption in 1991 and continued siltation problems as well as illegal fishing practices in the area prompted the Environmental Protection of Asia Foundation to submit a proposal to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in 2003 for its conversion into a marine protected area called Capones Island Marine Park in coordination with the local government unit of San Antonio. It is also the aim of the program to provide alternative sources of livelihood to local fishermen, such as tourism.

title: Hadith of Golden Chain

text:
Hadith al-Silsilah al-Dhahab () (Hadith of the Golden Chain) is a hadith narrated from Ali al-Ridha, the eighth Imam of the Shia. The "chain" is a reference to the continuity of spiritual authority which is passed down from Muhammad to Ali ibn Abi Talib, through each of the Imams, to Imam Ridha. As transmitters of Hadith, the Imams link subsequent generations to the teachings of Mohammad. This transmission makes the Hadith of the Golden Chain valued as among the most truthful and accurate of all Hadiths for the Shi'ite.

The hadith is important to Shia because it implies that, on the one hand, monotheism takes believers to "Allah's fortress", which is a safe shelter, and on the other hand the Imamah is a fundamental precondition of entering this shelter.

Background
The story is that when thousands of people gathered to welcome their Ali al-Ridha's arrival at the entrance to Nishapur , some of the scholars requested he pronounce a hadith. According to some Shia scholars, twenty (or ten or thirty) thousands have narrated this event, but only fifty narrations are available.
The chain of the narrators of the hadith reaches the Prophet of Islam through Ahl al-Bayt, hence called Hadith of Golden Chain.

Several Important hadith collections quoted it as Al-Tawhid, Ma'ani al-Akhbar, the Uyoun Akhbar Al-Ridha of ibn Babawayh and the Al-Amali of Shaykh Tusi. The hadith is also narrated in Sunni hadith books. Regarding the implications of the hadith, there are two extreme opinions by Sunni scholars; While some of them discrediting the hadith by implying that the Sunni books lack it, some others claim that all Sunni scholars accepted it.

According to shia, two important points may be derived from the Hadith. On one hand, monotheism takes the believers to "God's fortress", which is a safe shelter, and from the other hand Imamah is a fundamental precondition of entering this shelter .

Hadith
Hadith al-Silsilah al-Dhahab is narrated by Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha while entering Neyshabour. Many historians have recorded it. Old documents quote the hadith with small different wordings.

When Ali al-Ridha was entering Neyshabour a large crowd had gathered outside the city and some of the great scholars such as Muhammad ibn al-Rafi, Ahmad ibn al-Harith, Ishaq ibn al-Rahuwayh, and Yahya ibn al-Yahya were accompanying him. Twenty (or ten or thirty) thousands have reported the event. The narrations mentioning "twenty thousands" reporters are more famous. Many sunni laymen and scholars participated in welcoming the Imam. Scholars asked  Ali al-Ridha to narrate hadith for them. So  Ali al-Ridha announced al-Silsilah al-Dhahab.

Shia narrations
Different Shia hadith collections such as Al-Tawhid, Maani Al-Akhbar, and Oyoun Akhbar Al-Ridha of Shaykh al-Saduq and Al-Amali of Shaykh Tusi has narrated this hadith. Some of the sources are mentioned here:

 Ahsan al-Maqaal:

 Ma'ani al-Akhbar, Oyoun Akhbar Al-Ridha,  Al-Tawhid:

Also other versions of this hadith are separately narrated in Oyoun Akhbar Al-Ridha, Al-Tawhid, and Al-Ma'ani al-Akhbar by Shaykh al-Saduq, al-Amali by Shaykh Tusi and Kashf al-Ghommah by Allamah Arbeli.

Sunni narrations

Many sunni scholars have narrated this event.  Only fifty narrations have survived since third century out of ten thousands or twenty thousands or thirty thousands narrations. Besides, there are many other hadiths titled "al-Silsilah al-Dhahab hadith" varying from the one in question. Two of the important narrations are the "Fortress narration" and the "Faith narration".

The Fortress narration
There exists two different viewpoints among Sunni scholars regarding the Fortress Narration. Some of them mention Abu al-Salt Abd al-Salam ibn Heravi as the only narrator of this hadith and have disqualified him as a narrator, and consequently disregard the hadith. On the other hand, some of the sunni scholars regard Abu al-Salt as highly credible and therefore confirm the hadith, and some others even suggested healing powers for the hadith.

The part specifying 'condition'
Although the last part of the hadith ("There are few conditions and I am one of its conditions") is omitted in most sunni hadith books, some of the sunni scholars such as Khaje Parsa Hanafi and Qazi Bahjat Affandi Shafi'i have mentioned this part in their narration.

title: Protorthodes alfkenii

text:
Protorthodes alfkenii is a moth in the family Noctuidae first described by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1895. It is found in North America from central Oregon, southern Idaho, central Wyoming and north-western Texas southward to southern Mexico. The habitat consists of open arid woodlands.

The length of the forewings is 11–14 mm. It is an extremely variable species in terms of size, ground color and pattern, yet is easily identified by a combination of features. The orbicular spot is usually rounded, surrounded by a thin black line, and the spot itself usually is paler than the ground color. The reniform spot is oblique, with the lower part of the spot projecting toward the anal angle of the wing. The light and dark marks on the forewing, and the tendency for longitudinal streaks on the wing, give the forewing a busy appearance. The hindwings in males are white, often with a slight pearly sheen and with fuscous shading confined to the veins and outer part of the wing. Some females have more extensive fuscous shading on the hindwings, but usually a pearly sheen is still evident. Adults have been recorded on wing in the south from April to late June and again from early September to early November. In the Pacific Northwest they fly from mid-July to late September.

The larvae feed on various herbaceous plants.

title: 2015 A-League Grand Final

text:
The 2015 A-League Grand Final was the tenth A-League Grand Final, and was played on 17 May 2015, at AAMI Park to determine the 2014–15 A-League Champion. The match was contested by the two winning semi-finalists and Big Blue rivals, Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC, who finished the 2014–15 A-League season in first and second position respectively.

The match was won by Melbourne Victory, who defeated Sydney FC 3–0 in front of a sold-out crowd. The win saw Melbourne Victory become the most successful A-League club of its first decade, with three A-League Premierships and three A-League Championships. Melbourne Victory also became the first of two A-League clubs to achieve the Premiership-Championship double a total of three times.

The Grand Final was Melbourne Victory's fourth, the first being in 2007 against Adelaide United which Melbourne won 6–0, the second won again against Adelaide 1–0 in 2009, and the most recent in 2010 against Sydney FC which ended in favor of Sydney 4–2 on penalties after finishing 1–1 after extra-time. The 2015 match was Sydney FC's third following their inaugural 2006 1–0 win against Central Coast Mariners, and the 2010 match.

As Grand Final winners, the champions earned a spot in the group stage of the 2016 AFC Champions League. However, both Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC had already qualified for the competition prior to the match via their league position.

Teams
In the following table, finals until 2004 were in the National Soccer League era, since 2006 were in the A-League era.

Route to the final

After the completion of the 2014–15 A-League regular season, the top six teams qualified for the finals series. Teams finishing 3rd-6th placed (Adelaide United, Wellington Phoenix, Melbourne City and Brisbane Roar) began the series in the elimination-finals, with the top two teams (Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC) receiving byes into the semi-finals.

After defeating Brisbane Roar 2–1 at home in the first elimination-final match, Adelaide United were matched-up against Sydney FC in the semi-finals as the highest possible ranked team to progress from the elimination-finals. The game was played at Allianz Stadium in front of a crowd of 26,783. Bernie Ibini opened the scoring for Sydney early in the match, with a brace from Alex Brosque soon following. Despite Adelaide's efforts, Sydney managed a 4–1 result to see them through to their third A-League Grand Final.

Melbourne City's 0–2 away win over Wellington Phoenix in the second elimination-final match ensured a Melbourne Derby semi-final clash. Two quick goals in the first half and a late 87th-minute goal by Archie Thompson saw off the match 3–0 in front of a sold-out 50,873 Etihad Stadium. The win over their cross-town rivals confirmed Victory a spot in the Grand Final, their fourth Grand Final appearance in total.

Pre-match

Controversy regarding the Grand Final venue began early in the A-League season when FFA confirmed the event would be moved from the initial date of 10 to 17 May to accommodate the clubs competing in the 2015 AFC Champions League. The change of date meant that Etihad Stadium (53,359-capacity) and the Melbourne Cricket Ground (100,024-capacity) could not be used, as both venues were scheduled for other sporting events. AAMI Park (30,050-capacity) was the only available venue if either Melbourne club were to host the Grand Final. Although FFA toyed with the idea of moving the game interstate or moving it to a different date, it was ultimately determined that AAMI Park would host the clash on the Grand Final 'Sunday' date. The decision meant the match would be held at the lowest capacity venue to ever host an A-League Grand Final.

On 27 April it was announced that Australian electronic music duo, Peking Duk, would headline the pre-match show. Fans were also allowed to vote on the musical performances and catering which would be provided for the event. On 13 May the results if the poll were announced, with Australian singer Christina Parie voted by fans the singer of the national anthem. Also determined was the song which the teams would walk-out onto the field to, the song to be performed by Peking Duk, and the special food item designed by celebrity chef George Calombaris which would be available for purchase at the match.

2014–15 Referee of the Year Jarred Gillett was named as the referee of the Grand Final. Gillett, a FIFA listed referee, previously took charge of the 2012 A-League Grand Final between Brisbane Roar and Perth Glory after being named the 2011–12 Referee of the Year. Gillett was joined by Matthew Cream and David Walsh as the assistant referees, Kris Griffith-Jones as the fourth official and George Lakrindis as the fifth official.

Due to the limited ticket availability for the match, FFA organised a Grand Final live site which was held at Gosch's Paddock in the Melbourne Sports and Entertainment Precinct, adjacent to AAMI Park. The live site included activities from 1:00 p.m. local time and a live broadcast of the match on a big screen.

Match

Summary

From the opening stages of the match, Melbourne Victory dominated play; though the Big Blue rivalry quickly lived up to its name. An early head clash saw defender Matthew Jurman receive treatment to a gash after a flailing elbow from Besart Berisha saw the Albanian received the first yellow card of the match. Nick Ansell soon joined the bloodshed after a clash, and soon after defender Jacques Faty had to be substituted after sustaining a leg injury. A non-stop assault from the home side was soon rewarded, with New Zealand international Kosta Barbarouses finding the chest of Berisha in the box which rebounded on the chest of Gui Finkler before Berisha unleashed a half-volley past Vedran Janjetović in the 33rd minute. With half-time approaching and Sydney FC looking for an equaliser, Alex Brosque combined for a one-two with Marc Janko, but Victory 'keeper Lawrence Thomas was able to block the low shot with a stretched foot.

No changes were made by either side during the half-time break as both sides aimed to claim their ascendency on the match. The home side nearly doubled their lead within the opening minutes when Jurman couldn't clear a bouncing ball. Barbarouses took advantage and after turning, managed a shot into the side netting courtesy of a deflection off the oncoming Janjetović. Jurman made amends moments later after the ball on the consequential corner found its way to the far post and he was able to clear it to the sidelines. On the 52nd minute mark, Graham Arnold attempted to add further attacking outlet to Sydney's line-up, with the addition of Shane Smeltz in place of Chris Naumoff. Both sides continued to have a spate of chances, however neither could make the most of their opportunities. As the hour mark passed, Fahid Ben Khalfallah showed off his attacking skill, weaving through three players to fashion an attempt on goal. With a quarter of an hour left Sydney desperately looked for an equaliser and nearly found one through a Janko header. Minutes later a free kick by Petković floated just over Victory's crossbar. On the 83rd minute a tame clearance from Petković saw Ben Khalfallah work the ball into the box, squaring Barbarouses who neatly placed his second attempt past Janjetović who save the initial shot. Carl Valeri was sent off moments after the restart after kicking the ball away from a free kick for a second yellow card. Despite being a man up, Sydney couldn't capitalise and conceded another before full-time, with Leigh Broxham slotting the ball into the top right corner of the net. Archie Thompson and Jason Geria were brought on to see out a 3–0 win for Victory.

Captain of the winning side, Mark Milligan was named Man of the Match, and as such was the recipient of the Joe Marston Medal.

Records

The Grand Final victory saw Kevin Muscat become the first ever person to win the A-League championship as a player and as a coach. Muscat played at the Melbourne Victory from 2005 until 2011. In his 138 appearances for the club, Muscat scored 34 goals and captained the side in the 2007 A-League Grand Final and the 2009 A-League Grand Final, as well as the Victory's losing 2010 A-League Grand Final before retiring. He took over from Ange Postecoglou as coach in 2013 from his role as assistant coach.

The Grand final victory also saw club chairman Anthony Di Pietro become the first chairman in Melbourne Victory's history to have won the highest available domestic title in every club football department. With the Melbourne Victory Youth and W-League teams winning in 2012–13 and 2013–14 respectively, the senior team's grand final victory under Di Pietro made him the first chairman to have succeeded in all of these departments under his tenure.

The Grand Final was Melbourne Victory's first ever finals match at AAMI Park; all previous Melbourne Victory home finals were played at Etihad Stadium. The Grand Final was played out in front of a crowd of 29,843 people. Though this was a record low attendance for an A-League Grand Final, this was AAMI Park's biggest ever attendance record for a sporting match.

By winning the A-League Championship, Melbourne Victory became the most successful A-League club up to that point in time, with a combined total of 7 domestic trophies (3 A-League premierships, 3 A-League championships, 1 pre-season cup). Melbourne Victory also became the first and only A-League club to achieve the Premiership-Championship double three times.

The match recorded an average audience of 442,000 on SBS One, topping the previous highest rating A-League match broadcast on the channel, which was the previous year's Grand Final between Brisbane Roar and Western Sydney Wanderers, which averaged 358,000 viewers. The match also recorded an average audience of 251,000 on Fox Sports, making the Grand Final the most viewed subscription television broadcast of the day.

Besart Berisha became the first A League player to score in three Grand Finals and first to score in back to back grand finals.

title: Qanats of Ghasabeh

text:
The Qanats of Ghasabeh (), also called Kariz e Kay Khosrow, is one of the world's oldest and largest networks of qanats (underground aqueducts). Built between 700 and 500 BCE by the Achaemenid Empire in what is now Gonabad, Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran, the complex contains 427 water wells with a total length of . The site was first added to UNESCO's list of tentative World Heritage Sites in 2007, then officially inscribed in 2016, collectively with several other qanats, as "The Persian Qanat".

History
Qanat Ghasabe has a link to the legendary king of Iran Kay Khosrow. Many historical and geographical sources mention two main wars in Gonabad region during the time of Kay Khosrow. Davazdah Rokh war and Froad war had been mentioned in Shahnameh. According to Nasir Khusraw, the qanat of Gonabad was built by the order of Kay Khosrow

Persian period

The use of water clocks in Iran, especially in the Qanats of Gonabad and Kariz Zibad, dates back to 500 BCE. Later they were also used to determine the exact holy days of pre-Islamic religions, such as the Nowruz, Chelah, or Yaldā—the shortest, longest, and equal-length days and nights of the year. The water clock, or Fenjaan, was the most accurate and commonly used timekeeping device for calculating the amount or the time that a farmer must take water from the Qanats of Gonabad until it was replaced by more accurate current clocks.

Nasir Khusraw (1003–1077), in his book Safarnama, described the Qanats of Gonabad as the Kariz of Kai Khosrow, claiming the qanats were dug by the order of the legendary Persian king Kai Khosrow. According to a contemporaneous inscription, in 714 BCE Sargon II of Assyria invaded the city of Uhlu lying in the northwest of Uroomiye lake that lay in the territory of Urartu, and he noticed that the occupied area enjoyed a very rich vegetation even though there was no river running across it. In fact it was Ursa, the king of the region, who had rescued the people from thirst and turned Uhlu into a prosperous and green land. Goblot believes that the influence of the Medeans and Achaemenids made the technology of qanats spread from Urartu (in northwest Iran and near the present border between Iran and Turkey) across the Iranian plateau.

It was an Achaemenid ruling that in case someone succeeded in constructing a qanat and bringing groundwater to the surface in order to cultivate land, or in renovating an abandoned qanat, the tax he was supposed to pay the government would be waived not only for him but also for his successors for up to five generations. Following Darius' order, Silaks, the naval commander of the Persian army, and Khenombiz, the royal architect, managed to construct a qanat in the oasis of Kharagha in Egypt. Beadnell believes that qanat construction dates back to two distinct periods: they were first constructed by the Persianse, and later the Romans dug other qanats during their reign in Egypt from 30 BCE to 395 AD. The magnificent temple built in this area during Darius' reign shows that there was a considerable population depending on the water of qanats; Ragerz has estimated this population to be 10,000 people. The most reliable document confirming the existence of qanats at this time was written by Polybius, who states that: "the streams are running down from everywhere at the base of Alborz mountain, and people have transferred too much water from a long distance through some subterranean canals by spending much cost and labor". The government proceeded to repair or dredge the qanats that were abandoned or destroyed for any reason, and construct new qanats if necessary. A document written in the Pahlavi language pointed out the important role of qanats in developing the cities at that time.

Islamic period

In Iran, the advent of Islam, which coincided with the overthrow of the Sassanid dynasty, brought about a profound change in religious, political, social and cultural structures. But the qanats stayed intact, because the economic infrastructure was of great importance to the Arabs. As an instance, M. Lombard reports that the Moslem clerics who lived during the Abbasid period, such as Abooyoosef Ya’qoob (died 798 AD) stipulated that whoever can bring water to the idle lands in order to cultivate, his tax would be waived and he would be entitled to the lands cultivated. Therefore, this policy did not differ from that of the Achaemenids in not getting any tax from the people who revived abandoned lands. The Arabs' supportive policy on qanats was so successful that even the holy city of Mecca gained a qanat. The Persian historian Hamdollah Mostowfi writes: "Zobeyde Khatoon (Haroon al-Rashid’s wife) constructed a qanat in Mecca. After the time of Haroon al-Rashid, during the caliph Moghtader’s reign this qanat fell into decay, but he rehabilitated it, and the qanat was rehabilitated again after it collapsed during the reign of two other caliphs named Ghaem and Naser. After the era of the caliphs this qanat completely fell into ruin because the desert sand filled it up, but later Amir Choopan repaired the qanat and made it flow again in Mecca".

There are also other historical texts proving that the Abbasids were concerned about qanats. For example, according to the "Incidents of Abdollah bin Tahir’s Time" written by Gardizi, in the year 830 AD a terrible earthquake struck the town of Forghaneh and reduced many homes to rubble. The inhabitants of Neyshaboor used to come to Abdollah bin Tahir in order to request him to intervene, for they fought over their qanats and found the relevant instruction or law on qanat as a solution neither in the prophet's quotations nor in the clerics' writings. So Abdollah bin Tahir managed to bring together all the clergymen from throughout Khorasan and Iraq to compile a book entitled Alghani (The Book of Qanat). This book collected all the rulings on qanats which could be of use to whoever wanted to judge a dispute over this issue. Gardizi added that this book was still applicable to his time, and everyone made references to this book.

Apart from the Book of Alghani, which is considered a law booklet focusing on qanat-related rulings based on Islamic principles, there is another book about groundwater written by Karaji in the year 1010. This book, entitled Extraction of Hidden Waters, examines just the technical issues associated with the qanat and tries to answer common questions such as how to construct and repair a qanat, how to find a groundwater supply, how to do leveling, etc. Some of the hydrogeological innovations described in this book were first introduced there. There are some records dating back to that time, signifying their concern about the legal vicinity of qanats. For example, Mohammad bin Hasan quotes Aboo-Hanifeh that in case someone constructs a qanat in abandoned land, someone else can dig another qanat in the same land on the condition that the second qanat is 500 zera' (375 meters) away from the first one.

Ms. Lambton quotes Moeen al-din Esfarzi, who wrote the book Rowzat al-Jannat ("The Garden of Paradise"), that Abdollah bin Tahir (from the Taherian dynasty) and Ismaeel Ahmed Samani (from the Samani dynasty) had several qanats constructed in Neyshaboor. Later, in the 11th century, a writer named Nasir Khosrow acknowledged all those qanats with the following words: "Neyshaboor is located in a vast plain at a distance of 40 Farsang (~240 km) from Serakhs and 70 Farsang (~420 km) from Mary (Marv) ... all the qanats of this city run underground, and it is said that an Arab who was offended by the people of Neyshaboor has complained that; what a beautiful city Neyshaboor could have become if its qanats would have flowed on the ground surface and instead its people would have been underground". These documents all certify the importance of qanats during Islamic history within the cultural territories of Iran.

There is a 14th-century book entitled Al-Vaghfiya Al-Rashidiya ("Rashid's Deeds of Endowment") that names all the properties located in Yazd, Shiraz, Maraghe, Tabriz, Isfahan, and Mowsel that Rashid Fazl-Allah donated to the public or religious places. This book mentions many qanats running at that time and irrigating a considerable area of farmland. At the same time, another book, entitled Jame' al-Kheyrat, was written by Seyyed Rokn al-Din on the same subject as Rashid's book. In this book, Seyyed Rokn al-Din names the properties he donated in the region of Yazd. These deeds of endowment indicate that much attention was given to the qanats during the reign of Ilkhanids, but it is attributable to their Persian ministers, who influenced them.

Pahlavi period

During the Pahlavi period, the process of qanat construction and maintenance continued. A council that was responsible for the qanats was set up by the government. At that time most of the qanats belonged to landlords. In fact, feudalism was the prevailing system in the rural regions. The peasants were not entitled to the lands they worked on, but were considered only as the users of the lands. They had to pay rent for land and water to the landlords who could afford to finance all the proceedings required to maintain the qanats, for they were relatively wealthy. According to the report of Safi Asfiya, who was in charge of supervising the qanats of Iran in the former regime, in the year 1942 Iran had 40,000 qanats with a total discharge of 600,000 liters per second or 18.2 billion cubic meters per year. In 1961, another report was published revealing that in Iran there were 30,000 qanats of which just 20,000 were still in use, with a total output of 560,000 lit/se or 17.3 billion cubic meters per year. In 1959 a reforme program named as the White Revolution was declared by the former Shah. One of the articles of this program addressed the land reform that let peasants take ownership of part of the landlords' lands. In fact, the land reform meant that the landlords lost their motivation for investing more money in constructing or repairing the qanats which were subject to the Lnd Reform Law. On the other hand, the peasants could not come up with the money to maintain the qanats, so many qanats were gradually abandoned. The introduction of modern devices, that made it possible to drill many deep wells and extract groundwater much more quickly, accelerated the qanats' destruction. The pumped wells had a negative impact on the qanats due to their overexploitation of the groundwater. These changes, that occurred in Mohammad Reza Shah's reign, inflicted great damage on the qanats of the country so that many qanats vanished forever. The statistics related to 14,778 qanats estimates the overall discharge of these qanats to be 6.2 billion cubic meters per year between the years 1972 and 1973. If we assume the total number of the qanats at that time to be 32,000, their annual discharge would have amounted to 12 billion cubic meters.

In 1963, the Ministry of Water and Electricity was established in order to provide the rural and urban areas of the country with sufficient water and electricity. Later, this Ministry was renamed the Ministry of Energy. Three years later, in 1966, the parliament passed a law protecting groundwater resources. According to this law, the Ministry of Water and Electricity was allowed to ban drilling any deep or semi-deep wells wherever surveys showed that the water table was dropping because of overpumping. In fact, this law was passed only after the growing number of the pumped wells sounded the alarm about overpumping and depletion of groundwater leading to the decline in qanat' flow all over the country. This law, as well as the Law of Water Nationalization that was approved in 1968, and eventually the Law of Fair Distribution of water passed (in 1981) after the Islamic revolution emphasized the definition of restricted and free areas for drilling. In the restricted areas, drilling any wells (except for drinking and industry) was prohibited in order to prevent the continuous depletion of groundwater. So the rest of the qanats had a better chance to survive.

In the years 1984–1985, the ministry of energy took census of 28,038 qanats, whose total discharge was 9 billion cubic meters. In the years 1992–1993, a census of 28,054 qanats showed a total discharge of 10 billion cubic meters. Ten years later, in 2002–2003, the number of qanats was reported as 33,691 with a total discharge of 8 billion cubic meters.

In the year 2000, holding the International Conference on Qanats in Yazd drew a lot of attention to the qanats. In 2005 the Iranian government and UNESCO signed an agreement to set up the International Center on Qanats and Historic Hydraulic Structures (ICQHS) under the auspices of UNESCO. The main mission of this center is the recognition, transfer of knowledge and experiences, promotion of information and capacities with regard to all aspects of qanat technology and related historic hydraulic structures. This mission aims to fulfill sustainable development of water resources and the application of the outcome of the activities in order to preserve historical and cultural values as well as the promotion of the public welfare within the communities whose existence depends on the rational exploitation of the resources and preservation of such historical structures.

Ghasabe Qanat of Gonabad

The documentary film of the Ghasabe  Qanat of Gonabad (70 minutes movie) illustrates the engineering potential of Iranian diggers to dig aqueducts throughout history, explaining its importance. The story of the Ghasabe aqueduct in water supply in desert conditions is illustrated in this movie. By documenting the aqueduct of the Ghasabe Qanat, it has been attempted to illustrate the potential of the Gonabad excavation and its continued importance throughout history. The film is based on the memoirs of many years of travel and residence of French scholar Henri Goblot in the mid-twentieth century and Visit the Iranian aqueducts. This documentary film was produced by radio and television of Khorasan-e-Razavi Province in collaboration with Khorasan-e-Razavi Province Cultural Heritage and Tourism administration; commissioned by UNESCO. And made by Seyedsaeed Aboozarian known as (Payman Ashegh) as Production Manager / Translator and Narrator of French; and Saeed Tavakkolifar as Director.

title: The Idiots (short story)

text:
"The Idiots" is a short story by Joseph Conrad, his first to be published. It first appeared in The Savoy in 1896. The story was included in the Conrad collection Tales of Unrest, published in 1898.

Set in Brittany, the story describes a couple whose children have intellectual disability; the strain on the family leads eventually to murder.

Background
The story was written during Joseph Conrad's honeymoon; he rented a house on Île-Grande, on the north coast of Brittany, from April to August 1896. His wife Jessie later wrote that "much of our Île-Grande life is in that short story.... The stone-cutters are in it, our landlady is in it, and the feeling of our surroundings, perhaps a little more sombrely than the reality", and explained how the story originated: while being driven from Lannion to Île-Grande, the driver pointed out "the idiots", saying "Four - hein. And all in the same family. That's a little too much. And the priests say it's God's will!"

“The Idiots” was written in the midst of Conrad's struggle to compose The Rescuer, a novel he would not complete and publish until 1920 under the title The Rescue.

Conrad had a poor opinion of this story, writing that it was "an obviously derivative piece of work"; he did not name a model, but critics, among them Jocelyn Baines and Laurence Graver have supposed that it was influenced by Guy de Maupassant.

Story summary
The reader is introduced to "the idiots" as the narrator is driven near Ploumar in Brittany and they are pointed out on the road by the driver.

The earlier story of the family follows. Jean-Pierre Bacadou, returning from military service, finds his elderly father's farm is in a poor state, and resolves to make improvements. He marries Susan; the celebration of the event at the farm is picturesquely described.

Twins are born; Jean-Pierre notices something is wrong. His wife says, dully, "When they sleep they are like other people's children." A third child is born. "That child, like the other two, never smiled, never stretched its hand to her, never spoke..."

The parish priest calls on the local landowner, the Marquis de Chavanes, to say that Jean-Pierre Bacadou, a republican, has attended Mass, an unheard-of event. The Marquis, a royalist and former mayor, thinks this is significant, and thinks he will win the next communal election, since he regards Jean-Pierre as influential.

A girl is born to the couple; she is like their other children. One evening, driving through Ploumar, Jean-Pierre stops and walks up to the churchyard gates and calls, "Hey there! Come out!" Back in the cart, he says to his wife, "See? Nobody. I've been made a fool." In the autumn he angrily wanders about the fields, aware that there is no one to take over the farm.

Susan's mother, Madame Levaille, is a businesswoman who has a local granite quarry and a shop.

Jean-Pierre angrily approaches Susan, and she kills him with scissors. After telling her mother, who is appalled by her daughter's actions, she goes down to the beach, delirious. One of the seaweed-gatherers there approaches to help her, but she thinks it is Jean-Pierre's ghost. Trying to escape from him, she eventually falls from a cliff and dies.

The Marquis de Chavanes makes arrangements to have Madame Levaille made guardian of the children and administrator of the farm, rather than a member of the republican Bacadous.

Literary influence: Maupassant and Flaubert
The inspiration for "The Idiots" was largely derived from the works of Conrad's older French contemporaries Guy de Maupassant and Gustave Flaubert.
Literary critic Joycyln Baines acknowledges Conrad's debt to Maupassant with this caveat: "It is a well-told tale and effective story, but without much importance in Conrad's work, being, as he confessed, derivative of Maupassant. The writing is a little too artificial in places, but there are some fine touches." Baines offers this passage to demonstrate her latter point:

The story is divided into four segments: the introduction of the disabled children; the circumstances of the unfortunate parents; the violent climax in which the wife murders her husband and commits suicide; and the denouement involving the festivities at a local wedding. Literary critic Laurence Graver writes:

Graver considers Conrad's handling of the climax of the story "preposterous", but notes that the epilogue "returns to the terseness and irony" characteristic of Maupassant.

Critic Alfred J. Guerard identifies the sequences in "The Idiots" describing the wedding ceremony and banquet with Flaubert's Madame Bovary (1856). Guerard writes: "A brief account of the wedding procession and the feast immediately recalls Madame Bovary, and any useful derivative was from Flaubert." Guerard further notes that the story opens with a first-person narration, then within a few pages, shifts to an omniscient narrative, as does the opening to Flaubert's famous novel.

Guerard describes the story as "almost unique in Conrad's work as an attempt to dramatize fictional material immediately after observing it."

Theme
Literary critic Laurence Graver contrasts Conrad's handling of his themes in "The Idiots" with his fiction written in his maturity:

Graver adds this caveat: Unlike the protagonists in these later works, "the people in "The Idiots" display neither resiliency or thoughtfulness, and they are victimized without ever being tested."

In this tale of "pathetic sadness and terror", Conrad anticipates a thematic concern that appears in his mature literary fiction. Literary critic Edward W. Said writes:
