title: Lew Bloom

text:
Lew Bloom (August 8, 1859 – December 12, 1929) was an American vaudeville performer and stage actor who popularized the comical tramp character. After retiring from the stage in the 1910s, he became a prolific art collector and dealer and also painted his own original works.

Decades after his death, art conservators discovered that Bloom was the perpetrator of an art forgery involving an oil portrait that he claimed depicted First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln.

Early life
Bloom was born Ludwig Pflum in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Ludwig and Louisa (née Moyer) Pflum. His parents, who immigrated from Germany, had six other children: Susannah, Susan Deborah, Louisa, Charles, Edward and Adolph (who died as a child). Bloom's father worked as a cooper. The family eventually moved to Reading, Pennsylvania, where Bloom attended Poplar Street School. Around 1871, the family moved to Williamsburg where Bloom began working as a jockey. In 1873, he joined the Potter Hart Colossus Circus where he performed a "bounding jockey act" in which he rode horses and performed acrobatics. During his time at the circus, "Ludwig Pflum" changed his name to "Lew Bloom" and would use that name for the remainder of his performing career.

Career

Early years
Bloom spent several years touring in variety shows with his jockey act before relocating to Dover, Delaware, where he competed in horse match races. He then returned to Reading where he and a friend opened the Drovers' Hotel. The establishment was the first to introduce cabaret to Reading. Bloom performed song and dance acts at the hotel and also began competing as a lightweight boxer.

Bloom later became the stage manager for his friend's second establishment, The General Taylor Hotel. He left after two years to work as a clown in the Shelby, Pullman & Hamilton Circus. After a year, Bloom returned to Reading where formed a partnership with vaudevillian Howard Monroe. The duo performed song and dance numbers and comedy skits in blackface until Bloom left the duo and went to New York to perform comedy as a solo act.

Stage and vaudeville
In 1885, Bloom was cast in the play Nobody's Claim, followed by a role in The Red Spider in 1888. It was his role in the latter production where he first conceived of the tramp persona.

Bloom's "Society Tramp" character was a philosophical, shabbily dressed homeless man who drank frequently and was generally treated poorly by other characters. Despite his lowly status, the tramp would make light of his predicament and maintained a positive and comicial outlook. Typically, tramp characters like Bloom's included slapstick comedy routines as well as dancing or pantomime. One of Bloom's tramp character's jokes was, "I don't spend all my time in saloons. I can't. They have to close up some time."

Bloom's tramp character became a big hit with audiences and was quickly copied by hundreds of other performers of the era including Nat M. Wills and Charles R. Sweet. Charlie Chaplin and W. C. Fields also established long and successful stage and film careers portraying their version of the tramp persona. Bloom would later insist he originated the character and that he was "the first stage tramp in the business".

Bloom's stage career peaked in the 1890s. Throughout the decade, he continued to portray tramps in various stage productions by Charles Hale Hoyt including A Black Sheep, On the Bowery, A Milk White Flag, A Day and a Night and A Society Tramp. After leaving Hoyt in 1892, Bloom and his wife (whom he married in 1892), known as "Miss Jane Cooper", toured the vaudeville circuit with their comedy act "A Picture of Life". Bloom played his usual tramp role while his wife played the comic foil - a "New England spinster" or a "city maiden."

By 1909, Bloom's tramp persona had run its course and his career began to wane. At least one critic during that time said that Bloom had become "the worst act on the bill" of vaudeville shows.

Later years
After retiring from performing in the late 1910s, Bloom lived in Mount Penn, Pennsylvania, where he spent his time painting in his studio and collecting and dealing art. He began purchasing artwork during his stage career. Between 1889 and 1892, he purchased thirty to forty paintings from artist Ralph Albert Blakelock. Upon his sister Susan's death in 1910, he inherited her art collection. In April 1907, Bloom exhibited seven pieces of his original works at the Reinhard Rieger Gallery in Mount Penn. The exhibition also included a copy of The Brooklet In the Meadow, by Herman Rheudesela that Bloom painted (the original painting was also exhibited).
Bloom later moved to New York and occasionally returned to his hometown of Reading to spend time with his family and attend Elks Club meetings. He also trained horses for Metropolitan Race Clubs in the New York and Pennsylvania area and in Cuba.

Death
On December 10, 1929, Bloom was admitted to Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, New York City. He died there two days later of "complication of diseases" at the age of 70. Bloom's funeral was held at the Seidel Funeral Chapel in Reading on December 16. He was buried at Charles Evans Cemetery the following morning.

Mary Todd Lincoln hoax
In early 1929, Bloom made news when he announced that he had acquired a previously unknown oil portrait of former First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln, the widow of slain president Abraham Lincoln. Bloom claimed shortly before President Lincoln was assassinated on April 14, 1865, Mary Lincoln commissioned painter Francis Bicknell Carpenter (who had lived at the White House for six months during Lincoln's presidency and had previously painted First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln) to paint a portrait of her as gift to her husband. After the President's death, Bloom claimed that Mary Lincoln was unable to pay Carpenter for the painting and asked him to destroy it. According to Bloom, Carpenter kept the painting and eventually sold it to a wealthy Philadelphia shipbuilder named Jacob G. Neafie who was a great fan of President Lincoln's. After Neafie died, Bloom said that Neafie's daughter inherited the portrait who then gave it to Bloom's sister Susan as gift for taking care of her mother, Anna "Annie" Neafie, who died in 1860. Upon Susan's death in 1910, Bloom inherited her art collection which he said included the portrait of Mary Lincoln.

To validate his claim of the portrait's authenticity, Bloom attached a notarized affidavit to it and displayed the portrait at Milch Galleries in Manhattan. Shortly before his death in December 1929, he sold the portrait to President and Mary Lincoln's granddaughter Jessie Harlan Lincoln, the daughter of the Lincolns' eldest and only surviving son Robert Todd Lincoln. The exact sale price is unknown, but is believed to be between $2,000 to $3,000 (approximately $ to $ today). The portrait was the subject of considerable media attention and was written about in the February 12, 1929 edition of the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune. It was later mentioned in various books about the Lincolns, including Carl Sandburg's 1932 biography Mary Lincoln: Wife and Widow.

In 1976, Robert Todd Lincoln Beckwith, the last undisputed Lincoln descendant, donated the portrait to the Illinois State Historical Library (now known as the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum). At the time, the portrait was estimated to be worth $400,000 (approximately $ today). In 1978, art conservators at the Art Institute of Chicago noted that the portrait had been "heavily retouched" and contained significant elements that were added after the original painting had been completed. After a partial restoration, it was discovered that the facial area of the subject had been altered. The woman in the portrait was noted to have coloring that was brighter than the original 1929 portrait and that the face of the woman was "different, plainer" than Mary Todd Lincoln's.  The conservators also discovered that the subject was wearing a cross necklace which Mary Lincoln would not have worn as she was not a  Roman Catholic. As the painting had been owned by the Lincoln family, the authenticity of the painting was not immediately questioned. The conservators that worked on the initial restoration reasoned that the added paint was likely the result of "heavy handed" retouches by other conservators or by Francis Bicknell Carpenter who was known to "fiddle with" his finished paintings. The lack of resemblance to the woman in the portrait to the real Mary Lincoln was rationalized as "artistic idealization". For the next 32 years, the portrait hung at the Illinois Executive Mansion in Springfield, Illinois.

In April 2010, art conservator Barry Bauman was hired to clean the portrait as it had accumulated dirt and grime after years of being displayed. Bauman also hoped to restore the portrait to its previous 1929 appearance. During the restoration, Bauman soon discovered that a layer of varnish sat on top of the paint indicating that someone had altered the original. After removing the varnish, Bauman discovered that the woman Bloom claimed was Mary Todd Lincoln was an unknown woman who bore no resemblance to the former First Lady. It was noted that the woman's coloring was "...much fresher, a much warmer, a much redder toned, flesh toned..." than the original painting depicted. Bauman also discovered that a brooch bearing the face of Abraham Lincoln worn by the subject covered a floral brooch. Bauman also inspected the signature of Francis Bicknell Carpenter and the date, both of which were added on top of the varnish layer. After comparing the signature to Carpenter's other paintings, the signature was deemed a forgery.

After the portrait was completely restored, Bauman determined that while it had been painted in the 1860s (likely around 1864), the woman in the portrait was not Mary Todd Lincoln and the painting was not the work of Francis Bicknell Carpenter. The real subject of the portrait and the artist remain unknown. Bauman also determined that Bloom, who also painted his own works, had likely altered the original portrait himself. Bauman also believed Bloom painted over the original portrait, forged Carpenter's name and created the fake affidavit.  Bloom's claim that the portrait was given to his sister Susan by Jacob G. Neafie's daughter in appreciation of her care for the ailing Anna Neafie was proven to be false. Susan Bloom was born in 1855 and was only five years old when Anna Neafie died in 1860. James M. Cornelius, the curator of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, believes that Bloom was able to pull off the hoax because all the participants in his story were dead. Cornelius also believes that Bloom sought the Lincolns out to not only make money from the sale of the portrait but to legitimatize its authenticity. Bloom was likely aware that the surviving Lincolns were eager to portray Mary and her son Robert Todd Lincoln in a more sympathetic light after the family had received a great deal of negative publicity after Robert had his mother forcibly institutionalized in 1875.

title: NIST International School

text:
NIST International School (, ) is an international school located in the Watthana District of Bangkok, Thailand. It was established in 1992 with support and guidance from the Bangkok-based branch of the United Nations. A full International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, NIST welcomes more than 1,700 students of over 60 nationalities. As one of the only not-for-profit international schools in Thailand, it is governed by the parent-elected NIST International School Foundation.

History
NIST opened in August, 1992 as the New International School of Thailand on the previous campus of International School Bangkok. The school was established with the support of the United Nations and is not tied to any national curriculum or approach. NIST was authorized to offer the IB Diploma Programme in 1993 and the IB Middle Years Programme in 1996. In 1997 it saw off its first group of graduates, and in 1998 it received dual accreditation through the Council of International Schools and New England Association of Schools and Colleges. NIST is also accredited by Thailand's Office for National Education Standards and Quality Assessment. With the addition of the IB Primary Years Programme in 1999, it became the first school in Thailand to offer all three IB programmes. NIST was renamed NIST International School in 2012 on the occasion of its 20th anniversary.

NIST is currently operated by a non-profit organization, the NIST International School Foundation (NIST Foundation). Former chairs of the NIST Foundation include Mechai Viravaidya and Pridiyathorn Devakula, and the current chair is Sarath Ratanavadi.

Accreditation and affiliation
NIST is accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS), the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) since 1998 and the Office for National Education Standards and Quality Assessment (ONESQA). It was the first school in Thailand to receive triple accreditation. Additionally, NIST is a member of the East Asia Regional Council of Overseas Schools and the International Schools Association of Thailand.

Several organizations and programs are based on NIST's campus, including master's programs for University at Buffalo, The State University of New York and The College of New Jersey, the Professional Learning Hub, and the JUMP! Foundation's Global Leadership Center. NIST is also the home of Top Flight Basketball Academy, run by ex-NBA player Ike Nwankwo, and Chelsea F.C. International Development Centre Bangkok.

Campus
NIST's campus is located in downtown Bangkok near Asok BTS Station, one of Bangkok's commercial hubs. In 2000 the school presented its development plan and began construction on new facilities in 2001. As of 2014, it has expanded its physical facilities and now possesses dedicated buildings for the early years, elementary and secondary sections. It also includes a sports complex, creative arts building and two additional multi-purpose buildings. A fourth multi-purpose building, the Hub, was completed in June 2014, while renovation of the older facilities began.

Arts facilities include a 300-seat theatre, multiple visual arts studios, multiple dance studios, multiple instrumental and vocal music rooms, private practice rooms and a recording studio. The sports complex includes a FIFA-certified football pitch, gymnastics studio, sports hall with multiple basketball and volleyball courts, swimming pool, two tennis courts, and multiple classrooms.

Curriculum
NIST is a licensed IB World School, offering all three programmes of the International Baccalaureate: the Primary Years Programme (PYP) for students from 3–11, the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for students from 11–16 and the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) for those from 16–18. All classes, with the exception of second language courses, are taught in English.

In line with the IB philosophy and learner profile, the school adopts an academic approach that emphasizes collaboration, hands-on learning and exploration. Students learn both on and off campus through service activities, internships and the school's annual off-campus experiential learning trips. As a compulsory part of the curriculum, all NIST students must also learn a language other than English.

In 2014 NIST partnered with Yokohama International School and Zurich International School in offering the Global Citizen Diploma (GCD), an optional, additive certificate that reflects graduates' leadership, service and community engagement. Current members of the GCD consortium include NIST, ACS International Schools, Hong Kong Academy, Le Jardin Academy, Nanjing International School and Yokohama International School The GCD aims to identify "the diversity of gifts students may have, rather than assuming the importance of any particular set of skills or knowledge, based on any cultural bias."

NIST's previous five graduation cohorts from the Classes of 2016-2020 earned an average 35.4 on the IB diploma examinations compared to the world average of 30.2, with over half of the students earning a bilingual diploma compared to the respective global average of 23.6%.

Extra-curricular activities
NIST was one of the founding members of the Southeast Asian Schools Athletic Conference (SEASAC), an association of twelve major international schools in Hong Kong, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Myanmar and Indonesia. SEASAC events include sports, arts and academic competitions. NIST's athletic teams also compete in the Bangkok International Schools Athletic Conference (BISAC). NIST has varsity teams for tennis, badminton, swimming, softball and rugby. All NIST teams are the Falcons, named for the school mascot, and wear blue uniforms highlighted with silver, grey and/or white.

title: 168th New York State Legislature

text:
The 168th New York State Legislature, consisting of the New York State Senate and the New York State Assembly, met from January 3, 1951, to March 20, 1952, during the ninth and tenth years of Thomas E. Dewey's governorship, in Albany.

Background
Under the provisions of the New York Constitution of 1938, re-apportioned in 1943, 56 Senators and 150 assemblymen were elected in single-seat districts for two-year terms. The senatorial districts consisted either of one or more entire counties; or a contiguous area within a single county. The counties which were divided into more than one senatorial district were Kings (nine districts), New York (six), Bronx (five), Queens (four), Erie (three), Westchester (three), Monroe (two) and Nassau (two). The Assembly districts consisted either of a single entire county (except Hamilton Co.), or of contiguous area within one county.

At this time there were two major political parties: the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. The Liberal Party, the American Labor Party, the Socialist Workers Party, and the Socialist Labor Party (running under the name of "Industrial Government Party") also nominated tickets.

Elections
The New York state election, 1950, was held on November 7. Governor Thomas E. Dewey (Rep.) was re-elected. New York State Comptroller Frank C. Moore (Rep.) was elected lieutenant governor. Of the other three statewide elective offices up for election, two were carried by the Republicans. The Democratic/Liberal incumbent U.S. Senator Herbert H. Lehman defeated his Republican challenger lieutenant governor Joe R. Hanley. The approximate party strength at this election, as expressed by the vote for governor, was: Republicans 2,820,000; Democrats 1,981,000; Liberals 266,000; American Labor 222,000; Socialist Workers 13,000; and Industrial Government 7,000.

Five of the seven women members of the previous legislature—Assemblywomen Mary A. Gillen (Dem.), of Brooklyn; Janet Hill Gordon (Rep.), a lawyer of Norwich; Genesta M. Strong (Rep.), of Plandome Heights; Mildred F. Taylor (Rep.), a coal dealer of Lyons; and Maude E. Ten Eyck (Rep.), of Manhattan—were re-elected.

The New York state election, 1951, was held on November 6. No statewide elective offices were up for election. Four vacancies in the Assembly were filled.

Sessions
The Legislature met for the first regular session (the 174th) at the State Capitol in Albany on January 3, 1951; and adjourned on March 16.

Oswald D. Heck (Rep.) was re-elected Speaker.

Arthur H. Wicks (Rep.) was re-elected Temporary President of the State Senate.

The Legislature met for a special session at the State Capitol in Albany on December 6, 1951, to enact the re-apportionment of congressional seats according to the 1950 U.S. census.

The Legislature met for the second regular session (the 175th) at the State Capitol in Albany on January 9, 1952; and adjourned on March 20.

title: Francis Ronald Swain

text:
Air Commodore Francis Ronald Downs Swain,  (31 August 1903 – 28 September 1989), known as Ronald, was a British Royal Air Force pilot who held the World Altitude Record for airplanes from 1936 to 1938.

Early life and career
Swain was born on 31 August 1903 and was the fourth and youngest child of Charles Swain and Rose Downs. He grew up in Portsmouth and joined the RAF in 1922, becoming a member of No. 2 Squadron RAF as a pilot. He was quickly transferred to No. 11 Squadron, subsequently spending time with No. 23 Squadron and No. 6 Squadron as a Flight Commander, commanding the Cairo-Rhodesia Flight in 1933.

World altitude record
In 1935, now with the rank of squadron leader, Swain became a test pilot in the experimental section at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) where he was involved in high-altitude experiments. Departing from Farnborough, Hampshire at 07:30 on 28 September 1936, Swain achieved a fixed-wing aircraft's world altitude record with a height of 49,967 ft in a modified Bristol Type 138A. During his descent, his pressure suit failed causing him to lose visibility through his visor and find it difficult to breathe. He was forced to cut his visor open with his knife in order to maintain consciousness, eventually landing safely at Netheravon, Wiltshire at 10:30.

Later career
In 1937, Swain left the RAE to command No. 1 Squadron. He then attended the RAF Staff College in 1938, and spent the Second World War and his remaining career in various staff positions. His last appointment was SASO/Deputy Head of the Air Staff, British Joint Services Mission, Washington, D.C., retiring from the RAF in 1954 with the rank of Air Commodore.

Personal life
Swain married American Sarah Mitchell Le Fevre in Portsmouth on 5 November 1938, going on to have three children together. He died in Gainesville, Florida on 28 September 1989.

title: Nyobeng

text:
The Nyobeng/Nyobong is an ancient Dayak headhunting ritual that was performed to show gratitude for peace and good harvests.  The ritual involved bathing or cleaning the skulls of sacrificed humans. The ceremony was performed by the Dayak Nyobeng Bidayu, Sebujit Hamlet, Village Hlibuei, Subdistrict Siding, Bengkayang and West Kalimantan, Indonesia. It was abandoned in 1894.

Ceremony

In the ceremony, humans were decapitated and their skulls preserved. It took place over a three-day period in June, led by elder Nyobeng Sebujit. As the guests arrived, the participants aimed their guns at the sky and fired a salute, intended as a sign of respect for their ancestors before starting the nyobeng. Guests were welcomed to show the bond between the village and people outside the village. Later, a local community leader would throw a puppu into the air as visitors attempted to slash it with swords as it fell, repeating the process if the animal reached the ground alive. The elder then repeated the process with a chicken. Later, residents would toss chicken eggs in the direction of the guests. Breaking eggs in such a way was seen as a demonstration of sincerity. If the egg did not break, it meant that the guests who came to the village were not sincere or genuine.

The elders stored the skulls in a box with a boar necklace. The Dayak Bidayuh consider the head to be a symbol of human identity and the skull to be the world's most powerful magic, capable of increasing crop yields and warding off evil spirits.

While headhunting has long been abandoned by Dayak Bidayuh people, a modified nyobeng ritual continues to be preserved as a traditional way to manifest peace and gratitude for good harvests.

title: May 2011 events in Homs

text:
On Friday 6 May 2011,
during the 2011 Syrian uprising or civil war, Syrian government armed forces with tanks and troops started an attack on and occupation of Homs, Syria's third largest city with 650,000 inhabitants.
Until 12 May they reportedly killed 37 residents and cut off water and medical care, held house-to-house raids to arrest hundreds of residents and shelled the town.
On 13, 20, 21, 27 and 29 May, again 21 protesters reportedly were killed by security forces. At least 13 soldiers or policemen were killed in May by terrorist groups, the government reported.

Background

15 and 16 March 2011, demonstrations for democracy took place in six cities across Syria, the largest protest was in Daraa.
This started a series of ever larger and angrier demonstrations all around Syria through March and April, with security forces firing on demonstrators resulting in hundreds of deaths.
The protests spread, among other places, to Homs on Friday 18 March, after online calls for a "Friday of Dignity" (). 2,000 protesters then took to the streets in Homs after Friday prayers.

As protests in Syria continued, Homs became one of the most restive cities in Syria,
with more protests on 25 and 29 March and 95 civilian deaths during protests on 1, 8, 17–19, 22 and 29 April 2011.
On 25 April, the Syrian government had intensified its crackdown on the protests with an organised military attack on the city of Daraa, on 26 April  on Douma.

Timeline
On 6 May 2011, Homs became, after Daraa on 25 April, the second centre of the Syrian protests and uprising to be confronted with a large scale, organised, deadly attack by the Syrian military.

 30 April until 5 May: Armored units isolated Homs.
4+5 May: Tanks took up positions near the centre of Homs.
5 May: Despite the crackdown, a small anti-government demonstration was held. Dozens of tanks and troop transporters were sent to Homs.
Friday 6 May, ”Friday of Defiance”: Armored units cut all communications in Homs and entered the city with tanks, and according to an activist the military took up positions inside the city. Residents gathered for protest; security forces without further provocation opened fire on them right away, some residents said over the telephone. 16 protesters were killed, and 9 soldiers defected to their side, activists said.
”Armed terrorist groups” attacked a military checkpoint killing five soldiers and policemen; in chasing those groups and clashing with them another six soldiers were killed, government and military sources said.
6–8 May: Armored units arrested scores of males.
7–30 May (or longer): neighbourhood Baba Amr was closed off by security forces with several roadblocks, ‘under siege’. At least until 11 May it was also cut off from water, electricity and medical care, the resident said.
8 May: Early morning, troops and tanks entered Homs´ neighbourhoods Bab Sebaa, Baba Amr,  Bab Baba and Sebaa Amr amid the sound of gunfire, activists said. Syrian troops began hunting opponents of President Assad in Homs. Snipers were on rooftops in Bab Sebaa and a dozen unarmed protesters in Homs were killed by security forces, activists said.
State media reported that an “armed terrorist group” attacked a bus in Homs, killing 10 people and wounding three. Some soldiers(s) and officer(s) were killed by “armed terrorist groups”, the military said.

9 May: Troops cut electricity and telephone lines in Homs and divided up the city to prevent any mass protests, activists said. Security forces carried out house-to-house raids, targeting demonstrators, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said; hundreds were arrested, activists said.
Tanks were dispersed and security check-points set up at the entrance to each suburb, searching anyone passing through, a residential doctor in Homs said; health centers and a school were transformed into command centers for security forces, he said.
10 May: A central Homs resident told the BBC that there were no longer any armed security personnel on the streets, but at night again 100 people were arrested in Homs, activists said.
11 May: At dawn hundreds of troops entered Bab Amr and began shelling. There were heavy machine gunfire and explosions from tank shelling in Bab Amr and nearby villages, activists and a rights campaigner said.
Activists reported nine people killed in Bab Amr and nearby villages and dozens wounded. Between 4 and 11 May, 500 people were arrested in Homs, according to activists. State news agency SANA reported troops having “arrested dozens of wanted men and seized large quantities of weapons and ammonition” in Bab Amr.
12 May: Naji (or Najati) Tayara, a veteran human rights campaigner, was arrested in Homs.
Friday 13 May: During protests, three demonstrators were shot dead by security forces, activists said.
Friday 20 May: 2,000 anti-government demonstrators gathered in Homs; police cars drove into the crowd to disperse them, hitting several protesters; one of those cars crashed into a wall, police officers jumped out and opened fire, killing six people, witnesses said. In the al-Wa'r neighbourhood, security forces stormed a hospital, killing three residents, a witness said; elsewhere three more people were killed, and some locals shot at the police with handguns, witnesses said.
21 May: Security forces fired directly on funeral marches, killing some, activists said.
22 May: Prisoners in a Homs' jail smuggled out a distress call about the terrible circumstances under which allegedly hundreds were being held.
Friday 27 May: Security forces shot dead 3 protesters, campaigners said.
29 May: A bus carrying students was shot at by troops or security forces, killing the driver's assistant, activists and residents said.
30 May: In Bab Amr at dawn two dead bodies were found, an activist said. Perhaps seven protestors and one member of security forces were killed in clashes.

Aftermath

This May 2011 operation did not quell protests in Homs, nor subdue the city: October–November 2011, rebels in Homs’ Baba Amr neighbourhood ambushed government's security forces.
More uprising and warlike events occurred until May 2014 in Homs, after July 2012 all unmistakably events of the Syrian Civil War that by then undisputedly was taking place in Syria.

text:
Ian Martin (born 1953) is an English comedy writer.
Martin was a writer for the BAFTA-winning BBC series The Thick of It.  He was famously hired as "swearing consultant" in 2005 by the show's creator, Armando Iannucci, for Series 1 of the political satire and went on to become a full member of the writing team. He won an Emmy for his writing across five series of Veep and was BAFTA nominated for co-writing The Death of Stalin.

Early life
Martin was born in London and has lived in Lancaster since 1988.

Other credits include writing additional material for the 2009 Oscar-nominated film In the Loop, the 2007 Armando Iannucci-created series Time Trumpet and several series of the radio show Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive.

He is the author of The Coalition Chronicles (2011), a satirical and scatalogical account of a year in the parliamentary life of the Coalition government. He was a leading contributor to The Missing DoSAC Files (2010).

In August 2015, Martin endorsed Jeremy Corbyn's campaign in the Labour Party leadership election. He wrote in The Guardian: "To win over public opinion, Labour must reflect it. Is that right? I think that's right. I think that's why they're all doing this synchronised frowning at poor repellent-ebullient Jeremy Corbyn and pretending he's a weirdo."

title: Omed-omedan

text:
Omed-omedan, also known as "The Kissing Ritual", is a ceremony that is held by the young people of Banjar Kaja Sesetan, Denpasar, Bali. Omed-omedan is held on the day of ngembak geni (a day after Nyepi) to celebrate the Saka new year. The name is derived from the Balinese language and means pull-pull.

The ceremony is performed to make friendships and maintain people's harmony and solidarity. This ceremony also became a meeting place for singles. Many couples have met through this tradition.

 History
The ceremony is thought to be around since the 17th century.

According to a legend, after Nyepi, there is a traditional game named med-medan from the Puri Oka people (now located in southern Denpasar). In that game, male & female youths pulled each other, but over time they embraced each other. One day, Ida Bhatara Kompaing, Puri Oka's leader which was ill at the time, was annoyed by the rowdy sound from the game and tried to stop it. But, after coming out, he became healthy. He then ordered that med-medan will be held every ngembak geni (relighting the fire) after Nyepi.

The Dutch East Indies government tried to ban med-medan, but the people ignored the ban. In 1984, it was ordered to stop because of complaints that young people were kissing during the ceremony. Suddenly, a fight broke out between a male and female pig that lasted for an hour.  I Gusti Ngruha Oka Putra, a Pura figure, heard a person that reported to him about the fight; when he got there, the fight stopped. Because people thought it was a bad sign, it was decided that med-medan was allowed.

In the 1990s, the organizer was changed from banjar adat to sekaa teruna, and in the 2000s, the ceremony's name was changed to omed-omedan. Sesetan Heritage Omed-omedan Festival (SHOF/SHOOF) has been held since 2009.

 Performance
Omed-omedan involves sekaa teruna teruni (STT) or unmarried 17–30 year old youths. The participants of the ceremony consists of 40 men and 60 women. The rest will be saved for the next stage.

 Opening
Omed-omedan starts with a short speech from prajuru banjar (banjar manager) that consists of kelihan banjar (to instruct the participants), kelihan dinas, and the head of the STT.

After that, the participants will pray together to invoke safety. First, the prayer leader (jero pemangku pura) offers a sesajen named banten pejati. Then, the participants will say the panca sembah. After that, the leader will sprinkle tirta amerta (the water of life) as a symbol of the blessing of Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa to his followers and offer a few grains of bija (rice that is wetted in a temple) to Him.

After the prayer, the Barong Bangkung dance will commence to remember the fighting between two pigs in the village.

 Ceremony
The participants will be divided into a male group (teruna) and a female group (teruni). The groups face each other on the main street. With the signal of a Hindu leader, both sides approach the center of the road. They then face and pull each other with bare hands. They also hug and kiss each other. After a while, pecalangs will pour buckets of water over them as a signal to stop.

When the group leader passes a certain line, the phase ends, they lose, and they must give their leader to the winning group, which becomes a pacundang. The groups' place changes every second phase. This will continue until 17:00 WITA or all participants are finished.

 Ending
After the ceremony is finished, the kelihan banjar will thank and disperse the inhabitants. The prajurit banjar will also apologize if there is something wrong during the ceremony. Then, all participating inhabitants dan officials will eat together in Banjar Kaja Desa Pakraman Sesetan. While eating, kelihan banjar and bendesa will talk about things that can be improved and proposals to improve the next year's ceremony.

Punalur railway station is the second-largest Railway Station In Kollam District located at Nedumkayam, Punalur on the Kollam–Sengottai branch line.
It is the Gateway of Sabarimala. For Sabarimala devotees from Tamil Nadu, Andhra, Telangana and Karnataka, SCT–PUU is the easy way.
The temples related to Sabarimala like Achankovil, Aryankavu, and Kulathuppuzha are Located near Punalur. The Kollam–Shencottah railway line is the first railway line in erstwhile Travancore state and is more than a century old. The Kollam–Sengottai section is part of the Kollam–Chennai metre-gauge rail route commissioned by the British during 1904. The line which was metre gauge has been completely converted into broad gauge and train services started.

History

The first idea of rail link from Tirunelveli to Kollam which was the trading capital of the Travancore Kingdom was conceived in 1873. The line was sanctioned by the Madras Presidency in 1899 and the survey was completed in 1900.The railway line was built jointly by South Indian railway, Travancore state and Madras Presidency.It was the ruler's desire to create a rail link between Kollam, the then commercial capital of his State and Madras. The meter gauge line from Kollam to Punalur was inaugurated by on 1 June 1904. The Punalur–Sengottai railway line was inaugurated on 26 November 1904. The construction of the metre-gauge rail route between Kollam–Punalur and Punalur–Shenkottai (Ghats section) along the scenic mountain terrain was started in 1873 by the British engineers and was completed in 1902. Travancore rulers in association with the British prepared the plan for the track through the challenging mountain terrain as it involved construction of long arch bridges over steep valleys and tunnels across the rocky mountains of Western Ghats.

The first goods train travelled on this route in 1902 and a train carrying its first passengers began its run in 1904. It makes for a thrilling train journey as it passes over five big bridges and hundreds of tiny ones while negotiating mountain streams and valleys. Passengers are also treated to a breath–taking view of the Western Ghats. The train also passes through five tunnels on this stretch, including the one-kilometer long tunnel between Bhagawathipuram and Arayankavu. The station at Punalur was equipped with locomotive service centre, Parcel and Timber Depot, Train parking bays, Storage Tanks for water and oil, etc. The scenic Punalur–Shencotta railway lies across the western ghats, providing a valuable link across the southern states. The journey through the western ghats is incredible.

Layout
The station has three platforms, of which two are functional. It also has five tracks used for passenger and shunting purpose.

Gauge conversion

The gauge conversion of the Thiruchendur-Sengottai section has been completed and is open to traffic. In Kollam Junction–Shenkottai section the broad gauge conversion is also finished. Now it is serving as the shortest rail-route from Kochi port to Tuticorin port. Infrastructure of the station will be changed as proposed in tune with handling demands and matching to the glory of past.

Kollam–Punalur section

The Kollam Junction–Punalur metre-gauge railway line to broad-gauge conversion works foundation stone was laid in 1998 at Punalur. Services on the Punalur–Kollam metre-gauge section were withdrawn on 1 May 2007, to facilitate the gauge conversion work. The gauge conversion took almost 11 years to complete after the foundation stone was laid. The  line was converted to broad gauge and inaugurated on 10 May 2010. Express and Passenger train services connecting Punalur to Chennai, , , , Madurai, Guruvayur and Kanyakumari are currently operational in this route.

Punalur–Sengottai section

The  Punalur–Sengottai section gauge conversion works is in progress currently and expected to get completed by 2017. Sections like Punalur–Edamon reach and Sengottai–Bhagavathipuram reach have been completed and open for traffic,

Services
The station presently handles six express trains services to , , , , ,  and eight passenger train services, of which four services ply to Kollam Junction, one of the passenger trains run between Punalur and Sengottai, while one pair each run from Punalur to ,  and . And thereby, the railhead also connects Thiruvananthapuram, Kottayam, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Nagercoil, Tirunelveli and Trichy. To book ticket you can visit Indian railway official website.

Future

A new railway line is proposed from Sabarimala to Thiruvananthapuram via Punalur. If this proposed Sabarimala Railway is connected to proposed new railway terminal at  near Thiruvananthapuram via Nedumangad, several long-distance trains are supposed to be operated from Nemom terminal via Punalur to Chennai/Bangalore and rest of country. DEMU (Diesel Multiple Unit) service would be launched in Kollam–Punalur section soon. Rail Electrification works between Kollam Punalur section started and was expected to complete March 2021.

title: Pat Thomas (politician)

text:
Pat Thomas (November 21, 1933 – June 21, 2000) was an American politician in the state of Florida. He was a member of the Florida Senate, serving as the president of the senate between 1993 and 1994 and as president pro tempore from 1992 to 1993.

Political career
Thomas was chair of the Democratic Party of Florida from 1966 to 1970. In October 1974, Thomas unseated the sitting representative for District 10 in the Florida House of Representatives, Jack Burke, in the Democratic primary. He won the general election in November 1972. The following spring, he was one of a bipartisan group of representatives who voted not to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, which lost 64-54, making Florida the 13th state to oppose ratification of the amendment. He served in the State House of Representatives from 1972 to 1974. In 1974 he ran for the State Senate. While he won the primary in early September, he did not receive a majority of the votes, forcing a runoff at the beginning of October. He defeated Duby Ausley in the runoff primary on October 1, to become the Democratic nominee for the State Senate in District fourth district. Since there was no Republican running for the seat, he was guaranteed election in the November general election.

Thomas served in the Florida Senate until his death in 2000. Thomas finished his last legislative session in May 2000 and would have retired after the November elections that same year, due to term limits, however, he died from cancer in June. He was the second longest serving member of the Florida legislature at that time.

The St. Petersburg Times called him a "courteous, gracious Southern gentleman who rarely expressed anger or partisanship in an arena that is often filled with both." The Times went on to quote Governor Jeb Bush called Thomas "a highly respected legislator" whose "good nature and passion for life and public service endeared him to so many." While House Speaker John Thrasher said of Thomas: "In an environment that can often be tense and partisan, he never forgot the overriding importance of friendship, regardless of party affiliation."

Major legislative achievements
The Old Florida Capitol building was saved from the wrecking ball after Thomas sponsored a 1978 bill to save it.  A Korean War veteran, Thomas also led the fight for a Korean War Memorial, which was completed in December 1999.  In 1996, Thomas plotted with then Governor Lawton Chiles and Senator Childers to save a law that helped the state file suit against tobacco companies on behalf of Medicaid patients. They hatched the plan in a Quincy restaurant housed in an old tobacco warehouse.

Personal
Outside of his public service, he was an Insurance Executive and Mortgage Broker.  He loved to hunt, fish and go boating. Thomas graduated from Quincy High school, after which he also graduated from the University of Florida with a BSA in 1957.  Thomas was a member of Future Farmers of America while in high school and Florida Blue Key, Alpha Gamma Rho President and Senior class President while at the University of Florida. He was married to Mary Ann Jolley of Naples, Florida and had two children. Thomas was a member and past president of BPOE and Rotary. During the Korean War, Thomas served in the U.S. Army. He died of multiple myeloma.

Highlights
One of Florida's Five Outstanding Young Men, 1967; National Junior Chamber of Commerce's nominee as Outstanding Young Man of America, 1967; DeMolay Legion of Honor; Allen Morris Awards: Most Outstanding First-Term Member of the Senate, 1976; Most Effective in Debate, 1981 and 1986; Most Effective in Committee, 1983 and 1986; Most Respected Senate Member 1990 runner-up.

title: Elisabeth Kulmann

text:
Elisabeth Kulmann (,  – ) was a Russian-born poet and translator who worked in Russian, German and Italian.

Biography
Kulmann was born in the Russian Empire, one of the several children of Boris Fedorovich, and Mary (née Rosenberg) Kulmann. Her father, a collegiate councilor and a retired captain, died early. The family lived on Vasilyevsky Island in St. Petersburg.

As a child, Kulman showed phenomenal philological abilities, learning ancient and modern languages under the direction of Karl Grosgeynrikh.  She achieved fluency in 11 languages.

Kulman wrote over 1,000 poems before her death at age 17. Robert Schumann considered her a wunderkind and set some of her poems to music including "Mailied" ["May Song"] and "An den Abendstern" ["To the Evening Star"].

Kulman was buried in the Smolensky Cemetery in St. Petersburg, in a tomb bearing a carving by Alexander Triscorni - a marble sculpture of a girl on a bed of roses. The monument bears inscriptions in several languages, including Latin: Prima Russicarum operam dedit idiomati graeco, undecim novit linguas, loquebatur octo, quamquam puella poetria eminens (The first Russian young girl, who knew the Greek language, and learned eleven languages, spoken in eight, and was an excellent poet).

In the 1930s, the Soviet authorities moved Kulman's remains to the Tikhvin Cemetery in the Alexander Nevsky monastery.
