title: Elm Street Court

text:
Elm Street Court is a bungalow court located on Elm Street in Urbana, Champaign County, Illinois.

The court, built in 1926, consists of eight Spanish Colonial Revival style bungalows arranged around a central courtyard. While the houses have similar styles and floor plans, they also all have key differences, such as the shape of their parapet walls and the color and style of their stucco exteriors.

A  tall concrete gate with Craftsman details marks the entrance to the courtyard, and a concrete birdbath sits in the center of the garden courtyard.

The bungalow court was a popular housing style in California and Florida during the 1920s, but the Elm Street Court is one of the few examples of the style in the Midwest.

The court was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 2000.

title: Ballinafad Castle

text:
Ballinafad Castle, also known as the Castle of the Curlews, is located in the south of County Sligo in the Republic of Ireland. It can be found on the east side of the N4, overlooking Lough Arrow at the village of Ballinafad.

The castle is in ruins and is accessible year round. There are no tours, guides, or fees. Visitors can park in a small carpark at the foot of the hill where they will find an interpretive sign.

To enter the castle grounds, walk up the path and through the small iron gate.
The castle is an Elizabethan blockhouse built during the Nine Years' War by Captain John St. Barbe on land granted to him by King James VI and I. The castle was garrisoned by ten men and commanded by John St. Barbe.  It was partially destroyed by Red Hugh O’Donnel in 1595. The castle was again sacked in 1642 and fell out of use by 1680.

Visitors cannot enter the castle, but the interior is visible through breaches in the walls that are closed off by iron fences.

It is also found in Madagascar. It occurs in tropical shallow reefs around fringing reefs in turbid water, at depths of between . It was described by J. W. Wells in 1954.

Taxonomy
Acropora vaughani was described by J. W. Wells in 1954.

Description
It is found in open branched colonies that sometimes have appearances of bushes, which is provided by the presence of short branchlets. A large number of incipient axial corallites are present, and it has well-spaced radial corallites of varying lengths. It has a fine coenosteum. It is cream, pale blue, or brown in colour and looks similar to Acropora rufus.

Distribution
It is classed as a vulnerable species on the IUCN Red List and it is believed that its population is decreasing; the species is also listed under Appendix II of CITES.

title: Isaac Laskaris

text:
Isaac Laskaris () was a brother of Nicaean emperor Theodore I Laskaris, who along with his brother Alexios Laskaris fled to the Latin Empire and unsuccessfully tried to topple Theodore's successor, John III Doukas Vatatzes, in 1224.

Life
Isaac was one of at least six brothers of Theodore I Laskaris, and had been honoured by the latter with the title of sebastokrator, a title habitually bestowed on brothers of the emperor. When Theodore I died in November 1221, he had no male heirs, and was succeeded by the husband of his eldest daughter, John III Vatatzes. This development displeased Theodore's brothers, and Isaac, together with his brother Alexios, also a sebastokrator, fled to the Latin Empire, taking along with them Theodore's daughter Eudokia, Shortly before his death, Theodore had tried to arrange a marriage between Eudokia and the Latin Emperor, Robert of Courtenay, and the brothers evidently hoped to use her to secure Latin assistance against Vatatzes. In the end, the marriage did not come to pass. Two other brothers, Michael and Manuel, also sought exile during John III's reign, perhaps in connection with the defection of Alexios and Isaac, but later returned to Nicaea and were active in the reign of John III's son, Theodore II Laskaris.

Robert did, however, provide refuge and an appropriate place in his court to the two brothers, with whom he was related through the marriage of his sister Maria to Theodore Laskaris. Furthermore, one of the two brothers had already had considerable contact with the Latin court, having spent time at Constantinople as a prisoner ca. 1220–21. This act soured relations between Nicaea and the Latins, and in 1224 the two brothers Alexios and Isaac found themselves at the head of the Latin army sent to confront Vatatzes. In the resulting Battle of Poimanenon in 1224, however, Vatatzes secured a decisive success: in a hard-fought battle, the Latin army was defeated, the brothers were captured, and Vatatzes proceeded to reduce most of the fortresses the Latins held in northwestern Asia Minor. After his victory, Alexios and Isaac were blinded.

title: Erna Kelm

text:
Erna Kelm (July 21, 1908 – June 11, 1962) was a German woman who became the twenty-third known person to die at the Berlin Wall. Kelm tried to cross the border by swimming across the Havel river, but drowned during the attempt. Kelm was one of only eight women victims, and at the age of 53, was one of the oldest victims of the Berlin Wall.

Biography
Erna Kelm was born on July 21, 1908, in Frankfurt an der Oder, German Empire. Kelm had at least two children and lived in Potsdam, but in 1947, shortly after the end of World War II, she illegally moved to Lübeck to work as a nurse. At the time Germany was occupied by the Allies, with Potsdam in the Soviet zone and Lübeck in the British Zone, Kelm moved without obtaining the necessary permit issued by the occupying powers. In 1948, a year later, she moved to West Berlin, taking a job as a nurse's aide in a children's home for refugees. Kelm frequently left West Berlin to visit her children in neighboring Potsdam, where she was "suspected of engaging in intelligence activities," according to Soviet police data, but this accusation remained unconfirmed. However, the suspicion led to her being interrogated by East German authorities in November 1953, and a hearing in December 1953, after which she moved back to Potsdam. In her own words, Kelm returned because she missed her children, and began working as the director of a special care home/facility.

Death
On the morning of June 11, 1962, a fisherman found Kelm's body in the River Havel in Berlin-Zehlendorf, West Berlin. Her East German identification card, hidden in her sock, identified her as Erna Kelm from Sacrow, 53 years old, born on July 21, 1908, in Frankfurt an der Oder. Evidence suggested that she had tried to swim across the Havel to West Berlin, as the middle of the river formed the local border between East Germany and West Berlin. Berlin-Zehlendorf and Sacrow, an area of Potsdam just north of the main town where Kelm had lived, were both sparsely populated with minimal presence of the Berlin Wall and the East German border guards. Kelm was carrying other personal documents in a waterproof plastic bag on her body, and was also wearing a life jacket under her clothes. The investigation by the West Berlin police ended with the result that Erna Kelm drowned while trying to escape, and no crime was committed against her. Kelm's body was handed over to her relatives in  Potsdam at their request. There was no trace of the body after it was transported to Potsdam, and nothing is known about the relatives of Erna Kelm or where she is buried. Even the West Berlin investigation, which documented the retrieval of the body from the water, was closed shortly thereafter and the file was sent to the Central Registry Office in Salzgitter. When the case was re-opened 30 years later, the original investigation findings were confirmed.

Erna Kelm was one of only eight women killed at the Berlin wall, among the total of at least 140 victims. Further, of all the Berlin Wall victims that were classified as escapees/attempted escapees, Kelm was probably the only one who attempted to escape for totally unknown reasons.

Aftermath
In West Berlin, there were several press reports about her death, but these reports were given little attention. The main focus of the press at the time was over general concern regarding the rising tensions in Berlin as the Warsaw Pact members had submitted a statement announcing plans to sign a separate peace treaty with East Germany if American-Soviet talks were not able to "normalize" the situation in West Berlin and remove the "occupying regime." The Soviet Union even sent a note of protest to the three western Allies, strongly criticizing the involvement of West Berlin police in border incidents at the Berlin Wall. Kelm was admitted to the official list of the victims of the Berlin Wall and in a brochure published by the Bundesministerium für innerdeutsche Beziehungen (Federal Ministry for Intra-German Relations) on the first anniversary of the Berlin Wall. This brochure mentioned her fatal escape attempt; this ensured the memory of the 53-year-old woman who drowned at the border to West Berlin was preserved."

Erna Kelm's "Chronic der Mauer" biography has existed since at least 2007, according to the Internet Archive. However, her photo, listed as from a private collection, has only been added recently (as of 2014).

Griggs never lived in the house he built, and his son occupied the house after Griggs moved east. The Italianate house is one of the few examples of the style in Urbana. The house's cornice is decorated with paired brackets, as is a projecting bay on the east side. The front porch has a balustrade and is supported by bracketed columns.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 30, 1978.

Since then, Caitlyn Shockley joined as partner and the company was renamed The Creative NYC and opened a showroom in Chelsea in May 2014.

Martone partnered with jewelry designer Jules Kim for his debut swimwear line called Nycked in November 2010.

Martone Cycling Co.
In 2013, Martone launched a line of bicycles with Martone Cycling Co. Having been dissatisfied with how previous bikes looked while being stored in his New York apartment, Martone was inspired by fashion when designing his own line of bicycles. The bikes come in monochromatic hues and feature matching tires, red chains, handlebar baskets, and a SRAM Duomatic gear hub for city riding. They were first available at the Paris boutique Colette and are now available at high end retail stores such as Saks Fifth Ave. Martone also collaborated with artist Justin Teodoro for the designs of the brand's accessory line.

Personal life
Martone began dating designer Marc Jacobs in 2008. The couple became engaged in 2009, but eventually ended their relationship.

Martone considers his hobby of biking as part of his inspiration for the Martone Cycling Co designer bike line.

title: Vanaja VAKS

text:
Vanaja VAKS, later called Vanaja AS-33 is a two-axle, 4×2-driven military lorry produced by the Finnish heavy vehicle producer Vanajan Autotehdas (VAT) in 1960–1963. The biggest customer was Finnish Defence Forces.

Use
The first seven units were handed over to the Finnish Defence Forces on 9 December 1960; however, the measurement drawings were dated just on 31 December, i.e. after the first lorries were already taken into use. The Defence Forces ordered 155 units in total. Most of the vehicles were stationed in transportation units.

In the model name VAK stands for Vanaja lorry and S means soldier or military. VAT changed its model nomenclature system in 1961 after which the VAK was replaced by A. S remained indicating that the model was designated mainly for military use. A number was added to show the engine type; the volume model was with 330 cubic inch Ford Trader engine and therefore named AS-33.

Technical data

Engine
The first models were powered by Ford Trader 510E six-cylinder, 108-hp diesels. In addition, two Bedford petrol engines were used: 3.52-litre Bedford J4 and 4.9-litre Bedford D4 of which latter were only produced three units. Two units were powered by Leyland 0.375 and one by Leyland 0.400.

Transmission
The gearbox is produced by Fuller and the type is 5B-330. The rear axle is Timken TJ-140.

title: Piast Nowa Ruda

text:
KS Piast Nowa Ruda is Polish sports club from Nowa Ruda in Lower Silesia. It is most well known for its football teams, despite lack of on-field success, which includes junior and women's teams. The club also has archery, athletics, swimming, volleyball, table tennis and skiing sections.

History

On 11 July 1946 a sports club was established by the local coal mine by the name KS Nowa Ruda and its history has been intertwined with that of the local mine. That same year the name changed to Klub Sportowy Węglowiec. In 1949 another name change meant that the club was called KS Górnik. In 1955 a merger of the club with another local team Włókniarz Nowa Ruda caused the new club to become ZKS Piast Nowa Ruda, a name which became legally recognised in 1957. Under the decision of the Minister of Mining and Energy in 1972 another merger took place when the local mine in Nowa Ruda was merged with another mine in Słupiec to become one, which meant that its two football teams also merged, therefore ZKS Górnik Słupiec merged with Piast to become GKS Piast Nowa Ruda before finally reverting it original prefix KS in 1992, a name which remains to this day. The club's biggest footballing achievements came in the mid-1980s and early 1990s where the team has enjoyed spells in the higher leagues, including a season in the second highest division and several in the third tier.

title: Grinde (landform)

text:
A grinde (plural: grinden) is an almost treeless area of wet heathland found on the rounded bunter sandstone ridges of the Northern Black Forest in Germany. The grinden reached their greatest extent in the early 19th century when they ran from the Kniebis mountain near Freudenstadt in the south to the heights near Dobel in the north. Today they are restricted to the highest parts of the Northern Black Forest around the summits of the Hornisgrinde, Schliffkopf and Kniebis (900 to ). They still cover an area of about 180 ha. Conservation measures and careful grazing by robust breeds of cattle (especially the Hinterwald), goats and sheep should enable the remaining grinden to be preserved for their great ecological value and as an important feature of the landscape. Most of them are under conservation orders.

Derivation and meaning of the word

The German term "Grinde" comes from Old High German and is related to the Swabian-Alemannic word "Grind", which means something like "bald head". This term was used to refer to the treeless summits of the region.

Emergence and usage

The grinden emerged mainly as a result of human influence. The growth of the population in the 14th century meant that the pastures of the Black Forest valleys were no longer sufficient for the grazing of cattle. For this reason, cattle and goats were driven to pasture on the flat highlands with their open stands of trees. The so-called Weidbrennen or pasture-burning at the end of the grazing year hindered the growth of trees, promoted the growth of grass and increased the areas for grazing. Through the use of the highlands as pasture the land nearer the villages could be used for the production of hay. However overgrazing of the highlands led to soil compaction and a loss of nutrients by the 16th century. The result was that the land became waterlogged and bogs formed due to the high level of precipitation of up to 2,200 mm/year. These processes led to the formation of the grinden.

Grazing on the grinden lasted for 500 years until the 19th century. in the mid-18th century Weidbrennen had led to such large scale destruction of the forest that it was banned. With the emergence of cattle sheds, the grazing came to an end. The grinden, however, continued to be used for making hay, especially from matgrass (Nardus stricta), which the farmers believed had healing properties for the animals. In the mid-1950s, with the decline of cattle grazing, even this form of farming was increasingly abandoned. With the end of the agricultural use of the grinden the forest began to gradually re-establish itself. In addition to a natural reforestation by the natural seeding of pine trees, especially mountain pine, the areas were also reforested in a managed way from the 18th century. The grinden on the Enz heights were thus reforested by the 19th century.

Flora and fauna
The grinden lie on nutrient-poor soils of the main conglomerate of the bunter sandstone, which has a major effect on the characteristic grinde ecology.

Typical plants: matgrass, German deergrass, moor grass, heather, bilberry, cowberry, bog bilberry, mountain pine, peat moss and cottongrass.

Typical animals: capercaillie ruffed grouse.

title: Chamois Coloured goat

text:
The Chamois Coloured Goat, , , , is an indigenous breed of domestic goat from Switzerland. It is distributed throughout Switzerland and in parts of northern Italy and Austria, and has been exported to other countries including France. There are two strains, a horned type from the Grisons or Graubünden in the eastern part of the country, and a hornless type from the former bezirk of Oberhasli and the area of Brienz and Lake Brienz in the Bernese Oberland in central Switzerland. In some countries the hornless variety may be considered a separate breed, the Oberhasli goat. The Swiss herd-book was established in 1930.

Registration and numbers

In Switzerland the Chamois Coloured Goat is among the principal national goat breeds for which a herd-book is kept by the Schweizerischer Ziegenzuchtverband, the Swiss federation of cantonal goat breeders' associations. In Italy, under the name Camosciata delle Alpi, it is one of the eight autochthonous Italian goat breeds for which a genealogical herd-book is kept by the Associazione Nazionale della Pastorizia, the Italian national association of sheep- and goat-breeders; the Italian herd-book was activated in 1973.

At the end of 2013 the number reported for Switzerland was 13,000 and the registered population in Italy was 6237. A population of 2526–3000 was reported from Austria in 2012.

Use

The milk yield per lactation of the Chamois Coloured Goat in Switzerland is given as , with 3.4% fat and 2.9% protein. Measurements made in Italy in 2004 gave figures of  for primiparous,  for secondiparous, and  for pluriparous, nannies, with an average of 3.24% fat and 3.13% protein.

title: Bangladesh–Kenya relations

text:
Bangladesh–Kenya relations refer to the bilateral relations between Bangladesh and Kenya. Bangladesh has a high commission in Nairobi. Both countries are members of the Non-Aligned Movement, Group of 77, Commonwealth of Nations and the Indian-Ocean Rim Association.

History

Records exist of envoys from the Kenyan city-state of Malindi being hosted in the court of the Bengal Sultanate. Animals constituted a significant part of tributes in medieval Bengali courts. The Kenyan envoys brought giraffes, which were also noticed by the Chinese envoys in Bengal. Sultan Shihabuddin Bayazid Shah then gifted one of the Masai giraffes to Emperor Yongle of Ming China in 1414.

High level visits
Former Bangladesh Minister for Textiles and Jute, Abdul Latif Siddique paid an official visit to Nairobi in 2012.

Agricultural cooperation
Kenya has been one of the desired destinations for Bangladesh to lease unused cultivable lands in order to ensure future food security. Kenya has also expressed its interest to lease out vast arable lands to Bangladesh. The lands will be used to grow rice and cottons.

Economic relations
Bangladesh and Kenya have shown mutual interest in expanding bilateral trade and investments. Jute is a major product that Bangladesh has been exporting to Kenya. Kenya has also been importing medicines from Bangladesh. In 2012, a Bangladeshi delegation led by the Minister for Textiles and Jute paid a visit to Nairobi and held talks with several trade bodies and ministries of Kenya to explore potential ways for increasing economic activities between the two countries. Bangladesh also exports pharmaceutical medicine to Mauritius.

title: Tzangion

The tzangion (, ), plural tzangia () was a type of boot or sandal, which in the Middle Ages became an important part of the Byzantine Emperors' regalia.

In the 4th century, the  was a type of elegant shoe, but its use as an imperial vestment in Byzantium only began later, and was influenced by eastern, most likely, Persian, usage. Thus the first occurrence of the  as a sign of royal power is in John Malalas' description of the coronation of Tzath I as king of Lazica under Justin I, where Tzath was dressed in Roman imperial garb, but wore , decorated with pearls "in the Persian manner", rather than the Roman emperor's . By the 9th century, the wearing of red  had become firmly associated with the imperial office, so much so that rebels putting them on signified their usurpation of the imperial title. In the mid-14th century, Pseudo-Kodinos reports that the  were tall boots decorated with eagles out of pearls and precious stones.

The term is the root for the Greek term for shoemaker,  (), via  (), although a maker of imperial  was called  ().

title: Honey Don't Leave L.A.

text:
"Honey Don't Leave L.A." is a song written by Danny Kortchmar. It was first recorded by Attitudes, a band consisting of Kortchmar, Paul Stallworth, Jim Keltner and David Foster, who met while backing George Harrison on his album Extra Texture (Read All About It). It was released on Attitudes' self-titled debut album in 1976. It was also released as a promotional single on Harrison's Dark Horse Records label.

The lyrics of "Honey Don't Leave L.A." are a plea to an "errant paramour." Following a live solo performance in 2013, Kortchmar noted that he "was trying to be sensitive. We were all trying to be sensitive back then."

"Honey Don't Leave L.A." was later covered by James Taylor, for whom it became a minor hit. Taylor included his version of "Honey Don't Leave L.A." on his 1977 album JT. David Sanborn played saxophone on the track. It was also released as the third single from the album, following "Handy Man" and "Your Smiling Face," which both reached the Top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Released more than six months after "Your Smiling Face" in February 1978. the "Honey Don't Leave L.A." single did not perform as well, peaking at #61. It also reached #63 in Canada.

Background
Kortchmar, who played guitar on Taylor's JT album encouraged Taylor to record "Honey Don't Leave L.A." Kortchmar later told Musician that he regretted having encouraged Taylor to record "more rock 'n' roll songs like 'Honey Don't Leave L.A.'" because that was not Taylor's forte. However, Taylor enjoyed recording the song, and his recording received praise from critics. Taylor biographer Timothy White described it as "humorous" and as "one of JTs best uptempo tracks." Billboard described it as the "funkiest" of JTs three singles. Billboard particularly praised Sanborn's saxophone for adding to the track's "enthusiasm" and the "playful" way Taylor sang some French phrases, comparing his approach to the way Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder incorporated French phrases into contemporary recordings. Cash Box said that it "gets funky" with "snappy guitar work, stepping beat and gritty sax solo." Rolling Stone critic Peter Herbst describes the song as "seething" and praises Taylor as "a pretty convincing rock singer" on the track. Herbst particularly praises Taylor's "rough" and "authoritative" singing on the line "They don't know nothing down in St. Tropez." Authors Don and Jeff Breithaupt described it as "chunky, soulful rock." Seattle Post-Intelligencer critic James Arellano described it as a "fun and unexpected selection" from the compilation album The Essential James Taylor.

"Honey Don't Leave L.A." became a popular song in Taylor's live concerts, often with Sanborn playing saxophone. Taylor played the song as part of his set for the No Nukes concert at Madison Square Garden in September 1979, and it was included in the 1980 live album of the concert. Juan Rodriguez of The Montreal Gazette called the song one of the highlights of the album. AllMusic critic William Ruhlmann lamented the exclusion of "Honey Don't Leave L.A." from Taylor's 2000 compilation album Greatest Hits Volume 2, but the song was included on the 2013 compilation album The Essential James Taylor.

title: Slipshavn

text:
Slipshavn is a peninsula off the east coast of Funen, Denmark. Together with Knudshoved to the north, it forms a natural harbor at Nyborg Fjord.

History

A sconce was constructed at the site in 1556–57, which was used as a base by the naval ships guarding the traffic between Funen and Zealand. The fortification was expanded to its current state between 1801 and 1808. It was also used as a check point until the abolishment of the sound dues in 1857. Following the outbreak of World War I, a base for seaplanes and submarines opened on the peninsula in 1916. After the end of the war, it was only used sporadically by small naval vessels and aircraft. During World War II, Slipshavn was used by the occupying German forces. Since the late 1940s, it has been used by the Danish Home Defense and since 1956 by the Danish Naval Home Defense.

Today
The peninsula is now home to an educational facility operated by the Naval Home Defense. A wooden hangar from 1916 is still seen at the site.

Henry Patrick “H.P.” McKenney (January 18, 1863 – January 9, 1942) was an American woodsman, lumberman, outdoor enthusiast, and businessman who served as the fire warden in Jackman, Maine in 1912. He was the owner of several logging and sporting camps in the area including Bulldog Camps and Lake Parlin House. He is noted for his work ethic, business savvy, and stubbornness that often attributed to his success. Born into a large family in Jackman, McKenney was the eighth of thirteen children and often embraced the strenuous life that came with living in rural Maine in the nineteenth century. He was home-schooled and became an eager student of the outdoors. He began logging at an early age and truly made a name for himself in 1898 when he built a successful mile and quarter long log sluice on Enchanted Pond, then referred to as “Bulldog Pond”.

title: Sandile Medal

text:
The Sandile Medal was instituted by the President of the Republic of Ciskei in 1988, for award to all ranks for meritorious service.

The Ciskei Defence Force
The Ciskei Defence Force (CDF) was established upon that country's independence on 4 December 1981. The Republic of Ciskei ceased to exist on 27 April 1994 and the Ciskei Defence Force was amalgamated with six other military forces into the South African National Defence Force (SANDF).

Institution
The Sandile Medal, post-nominal letters SM, was instituted by the President of Ciskei in 1988. It is the middle award of a set of three decorations for merit, along with the Sandile Decoration and the Chief C.D.F. Commendation Medal.

Ciskei's military decorations and medals were modelled on those of the Republic of South Africa and these three decorations are the approximate equivalents of, respectively, the Southern Cross Decoration and Pro Merito Decoration, the Southern Cross Medal (1975) and Pro Merito Medal (1975), and the Military Merit Medal.

The medal was named after Chief Mgolombane Sandile, who had been declared as deposed and a fugitive by Major General Sir Henry George Wakelyn Smith Bt GCB, Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Cape of Good Hope, after he refused to attend a meeting with Smith outside Fort Cox in December 1850. Sandile subsequently besieged the fort and the 8th Cape Frontier War broke out, the longest and bloodiest of the frontier wars.

Award criteria
The medal could be awarded to all ranks for meritorious service.

Order of wear

Since the Sandile Medal was authorised for wear by one of the statutory forces which came to be part of the South African National Defence Force on 27 April 1994, it was accorded a position in the official South African order of precedence on that date.

Ciskei Defence Force until 26 April 1994
Official CDF order of precedence:

 Preceded by the Cross for Bravery (CCB).
 Succeeded by the Pro Merito Decoration (PMD).
Ciskei official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Prisons Service Star for Distinction (PSD).
 Succeeded by the Prisons Service Star for Merit (PSM).

South African National Defence Force from 27 April 1994

Official SANDF order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Defence Force Merit Medal of the Republic of Bophuthatswana.
 Succeeded by the Marumo Medal, Class I of the Republic of Bophuthatswana.
Official national order of precedence:
 Preceded by the Medal for Merit in the Prisons Service of the Republic of Bophuthatswana.
 Succeeded by the Prisons Service Star for Merit (PSM) of the Republic of Ciskei.

The position of the Sandile Medal in the official order of precedence was revised twice after 1994, to accommodate the inclusion or institution of new decorations and medals, first in April 1996 when decorations and medals were belatedly instituted for the two former non-statutory forces, the Azanian People's Liberation Army and Umkhonto we Sizwe, and again upon the institution of a new set of honours on 27 April 2003. On both occasions, it remained unchanged, as it was on 27 April 1994.

Description
Obverse
The Sandile Medal is a medallion struck in silver, 38 millimetres in diameter and without a raised rim, displaying the eagle emblem of the Ciskei Defence Force in a laurel wreath.

Reverse
The reverse, also without a raised rim, displays the Coat of Arms of the Republic of Ciskei, with the silver hallmark impressed beneath.

Ribbon
The ribbon is 32 millimetres wide, with a 5 millimetres wide red band and a 9 millimetres wide white band, repeated in reverse order and separated by a 4 millimetres wide green band in the centre.

Discontinuation
Conferment of the Sandile Medal was discontinued when the Republic of Ciskei ceased to exist on 27 April 1994.

title: Action of 2 September 1781

text:
The action of 2 September 1781 was a minor naval engagement fought off Cape Ann during the American War of Independence; HMS Chatham captured the French frigate Magicienne after a fight of a few hours.

On 2 September, the British fifty gun fourth rate HMS Chatham under Captain Andrew Snape Douglas was cruising off Cape Ann near Boston harbour and spotted the French frigate Magicienne, escorting a merchantman. She was a thirty six gun 800 ton frigate that was serving in comte d'Orvilliers fleet and was commanded by Captain Janvre de la Bouchetière with 280 men.

Douglas ordered action stations, and the Chatham hove to and after a few hours chase opened the action; she overtook the French frigate. The London Gazette claims that after an hour's action, the Chatham got the better of the French and Magicienne soon struck; The New York gazette of 22 October 1781 gives a figure of 2 hours and a half, of which half at pistol range, and Magicienne only struck after her rudder and bowsprit were shot away.

The Chatham had one man killed and one wounded while losses on the Magicienne were heavy; the London Gazette gives a figure of 32 killed and 54 wounded, while the New York Gazette states that 155 were killed or wounded, including Ensign Dethan, killed, and Captain de la Bouchetière, wounded. The rest of the crew was taken prisoner. She was subsequently taken to Halifax and recommissioned in the Royal Navy as HMS Magicienne.

Sagittaire, Astrée and Hermione, which were anchored at Boston, scrambled in an attempt to support Magicienne, but they failed to arrive on time, and Chatam could escape with her prize. The merchantman that Magicienne was escorting managed to escape Chatam and arrived safely in a French-held harbour.

Subsequently, the action thwarted a planned French assault on British ships in the Saint John River.

title: Dulcina de Moraes

text:
Dulcina de Moraes (February 3, 1908 in Valença — August 28, 1996 in Brasília) was a Brazilian stage actress and director. Founder of the Fundação Brasileira de Teatro, it was later renamed the Faculty of Arts Dulcina de Moraes, in Brasilia. She married Odilon Azevedo in 1931. As producer she took part in only one act, Ninotchka (1951).

Life and career
Dulcina de Moraes was the daughter of two great actors of the time, Átila and Conchita de Moraes. Her name was a tribute to her maternal grandmother Dulcina Los Rios Vallina, who was an actress as well. At the age of only one month, Dulcina was already on a scene occupying a cradle instead of a doll. At the age of 15 she debuted at Teatro Trianon in the show Travessuras de Berta, through Companhia Brasileira de Comédia.

In 1925, Dulcina was invited by Leopoldo Fróes, owner of one of the most important theatrical companies of the time, taking the leading role (Jeannine) of stage act Lua Cheia, directed by André Birabeau. Five years later, on July 4, 1930, she married actor and writer Odilon Azevedo. In 1934, together with her husband, she founded Cia. Dulcina-Odilon, responsible for memorable hits on the national theatrical scene. Her company was the first to present to the Brazilian public authors such as García Lorca (Bodas de Sangue), D’Annunzio (A Filha de Iório), Bernard Shaw (César e Cleópatra, Santa Joana, Pigmaleão) and Jean Giraudoux (Anfitrião 38).

She received the Medal of Merit as best actress of the year for lifetime achievement in 1949 from Associação Brasileira de Críticos Teatrais (ABCT). In the movies, she had only one role in the film 24 Horas de Sonho (1941).

In 1955, Dulcina founded the Fundação Brasileira de Teatro, devoting herself entirely to her foundation, first in the building where today the theater that bears her name is located, downtown Rio de Janeiro, and later, in 1972, in Brasilia, forming hundreds of actors. That same year she transferred her foundation to Brasilia, finally moving to the capital in 1981. On April 21 of that year, she opened the Teatro Dulcina, in Brasilia, and on September 18, 1980, the art college Faculdade de Artes Dulcina de Moraes.

Dulcina de Moraes died on August 28, 1996, in Brasilia.

Legacy
Brazilian authors also had their turn in the repertoire of Dulcina de Moraes, as Viriato Correia  (A Marquesa de Santos), Raimundo Magalhães Júnior (O Imperador Galante) e Maria Jacintha (Convite à Vida, Conflito, Já é Manhã no Mar), among many others .

title: Bolivia–Mexico relations

text:
Bolivia–Mexico relations are the diplomatic relations between the Plurinational State of Bolivia and the United Mexican States. Both nations are members of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, Latin American Integration Association, Organization of American States, Organization of Ibero-American States and the United Nations. There is a community of approximately 10,000 Mexican citizens residing in Bolivia.

History
Historically, both nations were host to great indigenous cultures; the Aztecs and Mayas in Mexico and the Incas and Aymaras in Bolivia. Both countries were part of the Spanish Empire until the early 19th century. Mexico was part of Viceroyalty of New Spain while Bolivia was at first part of the Viceroyalty of Peru and then in 1776, it became part of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata. Soon after independence, both nations established diplomatic relations. In 1831, Mexico sent its first concurrent ambassador to Bolivia based in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In September 1902, the first Mexican consulate-general was opened in La Paz and thus the first official diplomatic mission of Mexico in the country. In 1934, Bolivia opened its first diplomatic mission in Mexico City. In February 1939, both diplomatic missions were elevated to embassies in each other's capitals, respectively.

Between 1964 and 1982, Bolivia was ruled by a military junta. During this time period, diplomatic relations between Bolivia and Mexico became tense. Between 1967 and 1980, the Mexican embassy in La Paz provided asylum to 260 Bolivian citizens during that time period. The most prominent asylee at the embassy was Dr. Antonio Arguedas Mendieta, a Bolivian national and former Minister of the Interior who in 1968 arranged for copies of Che Guevara's captured diaries to be smuggled to Havana, Cuba after his death in Bolivia in October 1967. When the government of President René Barrientos discovered the documents to be missing, it was discovered that Dr. Arguedas Mendieta was a CIA agent who had been recruited to destroy Che Guevara's forces in the country, but he was soon to become disenchanted with the Bolivian government and decided to send Guevara's diaries to Cuba. Dr. Arguedas Mendieta was accused by the Bolivian State for selling state secrets and in July 1969, Dr. Arguedas Mendieta sought asylum in the Mexican embassy where he remained until May 1970 when he was granted safe-conduct out of Bolivia to Mexico.

In 1960, Mexican President Adolfo López Mateos had planned to visit Bolivia, however, his visit was suspended by force majeure. In 1963, President Víctor Paz Estenssoro  became the first Bolivian head-of-state to visit Mexico. In 1990, President Carlos Salinas de Gortari became the first Mexican head-of-state to pay an official visit to Bolivia.

In September 1994, Bolivia and Mexico signed a free trade agreement, however, in June 2010, Bolivian President Evo Morales cancelled the free trade agreement with Mexico. In January 2019, Bolivian Foreign Minister, Diego Party, paid a visit to Mexico and met with Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard. During the visit, Mexico stated that it intends to remove visa requirements for Bolivian citizens for touristic purposes.

2019 Bolivian political crisis
During the 2019 Bolivian general election, the Organization of American States conducted an audit that found "clear manipulation" in the election and significant irregularities overseen by the Electoral Commission. Following protests, President Morales agreed to hold fresh elections on 10 November 2019; however, soon afterwards President Morales and his vice president, Álvaro García Linera, resigned from office after losing support from the police and military. The Mexican government offered President Morales asylum in Mexico which he accepted the following day before boarding a Mexican Air Force plane to Mexico and arrived in Mexico City on 12 November 2019. On 12 December 2019, Evo Morales left Mexico for Argentina after the swearing in of the new president, Alberto Fernández, where he was granted asylum.

Since the arrival of Evo Morales to Mexico, relations between Mexico and the new Bolivian government of interim-President Jeanine Áñez have been tense. The Mexican embassy in La Paz has opened its ambassador's residence to various former associates of Evo Morales, and this has led to protests from angry Bolivians who oppose the ex-president. The Mexican government has accused Bolivian authorities of harassing and intimidating its diplomatic staff, and has asked the International Court of Justice to mediate in the dispute. On 30 December, a few days after two Spanish diplomats visited the Mexican embassy's residence to pay a courtesy visit; the Bolivian government expelled the Mexican Ambassador, María Teresa Mercado, from the country along with two Spanish diplomats and accused both governments of having ulterior "hostile" motives, thus creating a diplomatic dispute between the Bolivian government with Mexico and Spain.

After electoral victory of Luis Arce in 2020 Bolivian general election the relations between Bolivia and Mexico became friendly again. Luis Arce visited Mexico as President of Bolivia in March 2021 and met with his Mexican counterpart Andrés Manuel López Obrador.

In May 2021, Mexico eliminated visa requirements for ordinary Bolivian passport holders to visit Mexico.
