title: ETRR-2

text:
ETRR-2 or ET-RR-2 (Experimental Training Research Reactor Number two), (Egypt Test and Research Reactor Number two) or (Multi-Purpose Reactor) is the second nuclear reactor in Egypt supplied by the Argentine company Investigacion Aplicada (INVAP) in 1992. The reactor is owned and operated by Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA) at the Nuclear Research Center in Inshas,  northeast of Cairo.

History
Since 1990, Egypt started to search for a new research reactor to replace the aging ETRR-1 and the Israeli press claimed that Egypt was cooperating with Pakistan, Iraq and Argentina to build a plutonium-producing reactor for nuclear weapons. Finally, Egypt announced international tender and among the bidders were the Canadian Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, the French Framatome and the Argentinian INVAP.

In September 1992, a contract was signed between INVAP and the Egyptian Atomic Energy Authority (EAEA) and a branch office of INVAP in Nasr City was established to oversee the project with the construction works began in 1993 jointly by Argentina and Egypt.

In November 1997, ETRR-2 achieved initial criticality, and was inaugurated by the former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak and the Argentine president Carlos Menem in February 1998.

Overview

ETRR-2 is a Material Testing Reactor (MTR), multi-purpose open pool type 22 MW reactor with an initial fuel load of 19.75% enriched uranium U235 imported from Russia and the last shipment was delivered by Argentina in 1997. Since that, Egypt has fabricated the fuel rods for the ETRR-2 from the Fuel Manufacturing Pilot Plant (FMPP), which is located at the Nuclear Research Center in Inshas. The reactor core is cooled and moderated by light water and beryllium reflector. The spent fuel from the ETRR-2 reactor stored in a water-filled spent fuel pool near the reactor waiting for final disposal in deep geological formations.

According to the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control and the International Institute for Strategic Studies, ETRR-2 could produce over 6 kg of plutonium annually which is enough for one nuclear weapon per year.

Unreported nuclear experiments

In 2004–2005, an investigation by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) discovered that between 1999 and 2003, Egypt conducted about 4 unreported experiments using a total of 0.24 g of natural uranium compounds irradiated at the ETRR-2 to test the production of fission product isotopes for medical purposes. The irradiated compounds had been dissolved in three laboratories located in the Nuclear Chemistry Building, but no plutonium or U-233 was separated during these experiments. Also, during the investigation Egypt disclosed the Radioisotope Production Facility which was a new facility under construction at Inshas, designed for the separation of radioisotopes from enriched 19.7% U-235 irradiated at the ETRR-2 reactor. Egypt should have reported the decision to construct the new facility no later than 1997.

Egypt justified its reporting failures as the government and the IAEA had “differing interpretations” of Egypt's safeguards obligations, emphasizing that the country's “nuclear activities are strictly for peaceful purposes.” Accordingly, Egypt showed full cooperation during the 2004–2005 investigation and had taken corrective actions by submitting inventory change reports (ICRs) and providing a modified design information for the ETRR-2 reactor and the Radioisotope Production Facility.

In 2009, The IAEA's Safeguards Implementation Report (SIR) for 2008, concludes that earlier issues of undeclared nuclear activities and material reported to the Board of Governors in February 2005 are no longer outstanding as the IAEA found no discrepancies between what have been declared during the investigation and IAEA's findings, and no evidences of extraction of plutonium or enrichment of uranium.

title: Burro da Ilha Graciosa

text:
The Burro da Ilha Graciosa or Burro Anão da Graciosa is a breed of small domestic donkey endemic to the island of Graciosa, in the North Atlantic archipelago of the Azores, which are an autonomous region of Portugal. It is critically endangered, but is not officially recognised or reported to the DAD-IS database of the FAO. Efforts are being made to obtain official recognition and protection of the breed.

History

Donkeys were introduced to the Azores, which does not have any large indigenous mammal, by Portuguese colonists in the fifteenth century; their presence there is documented in the Saudades da Terra of Gaspar Frutuoso (1522–1591). The donkey became the principal beast of burden in the Azores. It was used also for riding, but not as a draught animal. Donkeys were very numerous in the islands; in 1841 the number on São Miguel alone was estimated at 8000.

The number of donkeys on Graciosa in now severely reduced; the number remaining was reported as 26 in 2001 and as about 70 in 2008. As with the Miranda donkey, male donkeys used for farm work were for preference castrated; the number of donkey geldings on the island may be a factor in the effective population.

A process of recognition of the Burro da Ilha Graciosa as an autochthonous breed began in 2005. An association, the Associação de Criadores e Amigos do Burro da Ilha Graciosa, was formed in 2013.

Characteristics

The Burro da Ilha Graciosa is a small donkey, standing on average . The coat is usually pale grey or mouse-brown in colour, but may also be bay or black; the belly, muzzle and surround of the eyes are paler. A darker dorsal stripe and shoulder-stripe are often seen, especially in pale-coloured animals; the legs may have zebra-stripes.

title: Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon

text:
Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon () is a farcical 2014 Chinese musical-comedy film directed and written by the Chopstick Brothers (Xiao Yang and Wang Taili) and also starring Jingjing Qu. It was released on 10 July 2014.

Plot

Two aspiring though over-the-hill Chinese brothers (Da Bao and Xiao Shuai) reminisce about when they were young, and how they still have dreams of becoming famous musicians (named "The Chopstick Brothers", after the actors in real life). Although middle aged, overweight, and past their prime, they dream that they will make it big in New York. Xiao Shuai lives with his father-in-law who calls him a failure. In mockery, patrons at the club where he performs frequently send him cartons of beer knowing that he will get drunk and get sick on stage. As he goes through these stage rituals, it is depressing to him and intensifies his feelings of failure.

A flashback reveals that while younger and playing at a bar, a woman came up to Da Bao and kissed him. They started dating for a while, but eventually she left him to go New York to pursue her dreams. Back in the present, Da Bao gets fired as being over the hill. Outside, a western "Musician manager" named Chris approached Da Bao, alluringly saying he had talent, and could make it in New York on a TV show "Voice of an Angel" (a show much like American Idol). To do so, the Chopstick Brothers must reunite, and pay a 100,000 RMB "Consulting fee". After some reluctance and discussion, they agree to do it and Da Bao borrows money from his Father in order to pay the consulting fee.

They leave for New York, where a mob lieutenant is with the spoiled and temperamental mob boss Daughter of a recently deceased mob boss. The man is now in a position to take over the Mob and tries to form a relationship with the mob boss Daughter to solidify his position. She asks him to prove to her that he is capable of doing so, and demands that he kill one of the Judges from "Voice of an angel" who had previously bounced her off the show. The judge is later revealed to be Da bao's old girlfriend, who has made it big in New York. The mob lieutenant goes to his mob friends and orders them could kill the judge for him. They said it was too high profile and that they need outsiders to do it. The mob decides to use two Korean assassin brothers, and they hire them to do the job.

Both the Korean assassins and the Chinese Chopstick Brothers arrive in New York at the same time and at the same security gate. One of the Chinese brothers says it's crazy that they have to go through security after getting off the plane. There is very high security with many armed guards surrounding the area, which causes the Koreans to be on edge. One of the Chinese brothers had an object resembling a bomb in one of the suitcases, causing an alarm go off while going through the X-Ray machine. One of the guards tells everyone to get down. The Koreans, thinking they had been found, stayed up and adopted a fighting stance. A guard rushes them shouting at them to get down, the Koreans throws the guard onto the ground. The rest of the guards raise their weapons, arresting them.

The Chinese got through security without a problem after that, waiting for Chris to pick them up, after a while, they called Chris, but he is in a bar drinking, he claims he was stuck in traffic, and he sent people to pick the two up. The mob then approaches the Chopstick Brothers thinking they are the assassins, saying they are there to pick them up. At the mob bosses hideout, one of the mobsters does lethal looking butterfly knife tricks which Da Baos briskly repeats from a stage act he knows and adds his own tricks, which deeply impress the on-looking mobsters. The mob boss then shows them a video of the TV-show Judge which shows her calling his Mob boss girlfriend a talentless sheep. Xiao Shuai, angered by the fact that Da Baos old girlfriend made it big in New York, said "Kill her, kill this bastard", further causing the mob boss to think that they were the Assassins. Because of their very poor English, the mobsters somehow conclude that the Chopstick brothers, who they think are the Korean assassins, plan to compete as performers on the show and to kill the judge at the end of their audition.

The Chopstick brothers are then brought to the judges at the show and introduce themselves with their very poor English pronunciation as the "JOBS" "DICKS" brothers, to the snickering amusement of some of the judges. During the competition, the Chopstick brothers perform in undersized neon pink dance jackets performing poorly synchronized dance moves, while singing the Chinese song "Little Apple" for the judges. They pull out fake guns at the end of the show which shoot ticker tape messages at the judges. The mobsters watching on a remote video, feel betrayed and plan to punish the Chopstick brothers. Meanwhile, the Chopstick brothers cannot win over the judges and Da Baos decides he must resort to sacrificing his high ethical standards by sleeping with the head producer, a Dominatrix, who then gets them on the main show on its biggest night.

The Chopstick brothers manage to evade the mobsters until the big performance night although they are roughed up in the process. They decide that their only chances are to bail out the previously apprehended Korean gangster brothers out of jail, and to let them take on and destroy the aggressive mob. This is done to allow them to compete on their big performance night. Mayhem breaks out when the aggressive mob decides to try to kill the Chopstick brothers during their main performance night though the Korean gangster brothers are able to intercede in order to fully defeat the entire mob and all of their members. The Chopstick brothers then return to China and their families without having made any progress in their careers. Upon return though, they discover that their families have come to mean much more to them upon their return from New York than before their adventure in America began.

Cast
Xiao Yang, as one of the two Chopstick brothers.
Wang Taili, as the other of two Chopstick brothers.
Qu Jingjing, as the girlfriend and current judge on the panel.
Wanting Qu

Soundtrack

The soundtrack for the film featured the viral Chinese hit song 'Little Apple'. This song has also attained high positions in main online charts in China. It peaked at number one in the CCTV Global Chinese Music Chart () released every Saturday. This song, referred to by one commentator as a "brainwashing song", also brings up the psychological factors that contribute to its success—its simple rhythm and lyrics cause the "earworm effect", forcing people to listen to it over and over again, and another reason that lied underneath is the "snowball effect", which means that people tend to follow others in a trend, suggesting that some people may not actually like the song, but just blindly following others.

Reception
The film has grossed US$32.80 million in China.

China's Unnatural Disaster: The Tears of Sichuan Province is a 2009 documentary film co-directed by Jon Alpert and Matthew O'Neill of the Downtown Community Television Center, and produced by MZ Pictures for HBO Films.

The documentary covers the aftermath of the 2008 Sichuan earthquake on May 12, which killed around 70,000 people—of which 10,000 were children, many of whom were killed when their schools collapsed. The film focuses on the grieving families and communities of the children as they mourn their loss and question the government over the construction standard of the schools.

Alpert and O'Neill sent the raw footage of the film by courier to the United States, before they were detained and questioned by local police for eight hours as they tried to leave the country themselves. In September 2009, the filmmakers were scheduled to present the film at the Shanghai International Film Festival, but were denied visas by the Chinese government.

China's Unnatural Disaster was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary (Short Subject) in 2009.

text:
Billerud AB is a Swedish pulp and paper manufacturer with headquarters in Solna, Sweden. The company simplified its name from BillerudKorsnäs to Billerud after the acquisition of Verso 2022, an American producer of coated paper. Billerud has nine production facilities in Sweden, Finland and the USA with around 6,100 employees in over 13 countries.

Its production units are located in Grums, Skärblacka, Frövi/Rockhammar, Gävle and Karlsborg in Sweden, Jakobstad in Finland, Escanaba, Quinnesec and Wisconsin Rapids in the US.

History
The company was formed in November 2012 through the merger of Billerud AB and Korsnäs AB.

In the 2012 merger, Billerud was the formal buyer. Korsnäs' owner, Investment Kinnevik AB, received a sum of SEK 3.2 billion as well as 25.1% of the votes in the new company and consequently became the largest owner in the merged BillerudKorsnäs. Behind the merger, was an ambition to become an internationally leading packaging manufacturer.

During the same year, BillerudKorsnäs acquired paper production facilities both in Jakobstad and Tervasaari, Valkeakoski, in Finland from UPM Kymmene. Valkeakoski was closed down and the paper machine for MG paper was moved to Skärblacka mill in 2017.

In 2013, Kinnevik sold its shares in BillerudKorsnäs to pension firms AMF, Alecta and the Fourth Swedish National Pension Fund.

In March 2022, BillerudKorsnäs completed its acquisition of the US-based coated paper company, Verso Corporation for $825m in cash. As a result of the acquisition, according to a press release in October 2022, the company changed its name from BillerudKorsnäs to Billerud "to cater to its international customers".

title: Weltkugelbrunnen

text:
The Weltkugelbrunnen () is a water feature in front of the Europa-Center in Breitscheidplatz, Berlin.

Design
The Weltkugelbrunnen was opened on the 12 August 1983. There was an open competition for the design of the fountain which was won by Berliner Joachim Schmettau. He had assistance from his colleague sculptor Susanne Wehland.

The main part consists of several carved blocks of red granite, which form an approximately hemispherical base with the diameter being 8.5 meters. It is arranged in a pool of 16 meters in diameter. In the symbolic globe characters from different cultures are depicted.

The large pool of water is surrounded by a staircase that leads from the basement of the Breitscheidplatz in the Europa-Center basement.

Maintenance costs
The operation of the Weltkugelbrunnen costs the district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf around 75,000 euros. Due to the district not being able to bear the costs, the Weltkugelbrunnen is dependent with help from sponsors.

title: Leon Comber

text:
Leonard Francis Comber (20 September 1921 – 11 May 2023) was a British military and police officer, and later book publisher, operating in British India, Malaya, Singapore, Hong Kong and Australia. He was also an editor and author of books relating to South-East Asia.

Early life
Leonard Francis Comber, an only child, was born in London on 20 September 1921. His mother was married to a master bookbinder and typesetter. He was reading law at King's College, London, in 1939 when the Second World War began.

World War II
During World War Two, Comber served as an officer in the Indian Army and took part in military operations in Assam and Burma. At the end of the war, he was among those who landed at Morib Beach, Selangor, on the west coast of Malaya, and witnessed the surrender of Japanese forces in Kelantan.

Malaya
Following service with the British Military Administration of Malaya (BMA), he was appointed to the British Colonial Service (Malayan Police) when the army handed over administration of the country to the civilian government in April 1946. Leon Comber, a Chinese speaker, spent most of his police service with the Special Branch, the organisation responsible for political, security and operational intelligence. Special Branch participated in the Malayan Emergency (1948-1960), when counter-insurgency operations were launched against the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) and its guerrilla force, the MNLA (Malayan National Liberation Army).

Comber left Special Branch after his wife, author Han Suyin, whom he married in 1952, wrote a novel, And the Rain My Drink (1956), which was viewed as being anti-British in its depiction of the guerrilla war of Chinese rubber workers against the government. They divorced in 1958.

Comber then worked for more than twenty years in book publishing. First based in Singapore, later in Hong Kong, he was the regional representative of Heinemann Educational Books of London. He became managing director of local Heinemann subsidiary companies established in Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. In 1966 he founded Heinemann Educational Books (Asia) Ltd's Writing in Asia Series. Subsequently, he was Publisher and Director of Hong Kong University Press.

Comber was involved with the Asiaweek Short Story Competition, which was run annually between 1981 and 1988. He edited and wrote an introduction for Prizewinning Asian Fiction, an anthology of prizewinning short stories from the competition. Throughout this period, he also wrote and edited a large number of books and articles, including several about  Malayan policing and intelligence.

In 1991, he moved to Melbourne, Australia, with his second wife, Takako Kawai, and their daughter. Subsequently, he became an Honorary Research Fellow at Monash Asia Institute, Monash University. At the age of 76, he was awarded a Ph.D. in Asian Studies.

Comber was a senior fellow at the Institute of South East Asian Studies, Singapore, from 2011 to 2020.

Comber died in Melbourne, Australia on 11 May 2023, at the age of 101.

title: Monastic cell

text:
A cell is a small room used by a hermit, monk, nun or anchorite to live and as a devotional space. Cells are often part of larger cenobitic monastic communities such as Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and Orthodox Christian monasteries, as well as Buddhist vihara, but may also form stand-alone structures in remote locations. The word cell comes from the Old French celle meaning a monastic cell, itself from the Latin meaning "room", "store room" or "chamber".

Usually, a cell is small and contains a minimum of furnishings. It may be an individual living space in a building or a hermit's primitive solitary living space, possibly a cave or hut in a remote location. A small dependent or daughter house of a major monastery, sometimes housing just one or two monks or nuns, may also be termed a cell.

The first cells were in the Nitrian Desert in Egypt following the ministry of Paul of Thebes, Serapion, and Anthony the Great.<ref>Chryssavgis, John; Ware, Kallistos; Ward, Benedicta, In the Heart of the Desert: Revised Edition  The Spirituality of the Desert Fathers and Mothers (World Wisdom Bloomington, Ind., 2008) p15.</ref> in the mid 3rd century.

In some orders, such as the Trappists, the monks or nuns do not have cells but sleep in a large room called a dormitory. In eremitic orders like the Carthusians, the room called cell'' usually has the size and look of a small house with a separate garden.

Buddhism

In Buddhism, a vihara was a living arrangement similar to a Christian monastery.

title: Barrabool, Victoria

text:
Barrabool is a rural locality in the Surf Coast Shire, Victoria, Australia. In the 2016 census, Barrabool had a population of 235 people.

History

The area was first settled by squatters in the late 1830s. The lands of the Barrabool Parish were first advertised for sale in 1839, with the parish, consisting of 25 blocks of varying size, sold on 5 February 1840. Wynd writes that there was "plenty of competition for the rich lands of the Barrabool Hills", and that the sale was much more successful than subsequent 1840s attempts at selling the land in the nearby Gnarwarre and Modewarre parishes. The 1850s saw the development of the Berramongo Estate and the Suisse Vineyard at Barrabool, both of which survive today, and the land of the broader Barrabool Hills region was seen as having a "reputation for fertility" as a farming district. Wheat was a popular and successful crop initially, but the land began to decline in the 1860s, and Geelong Advertiser wrote in 1868 that "the land on the Barrabool Hills, once so noted for its richness, had become exhausted."

Unlike many of the surrounding areas, a clear township never developed at Barrabool. The first community building was the Holy Trinity Anglican Church School, which was built on the Merrawarp Estate in 1847. The Victorian Heritage Register describes it as "the earliest known school building in the Geelong region". The first Holy Trinity Anglican Church was opened nearby in 1855. Tenders for the adjacent vicarage were called in 1855, but Wynd suggests that the vicarage may not have been completed until 1860. The Anglican school became "School No. 50" under the common school scheme, and the Barrabool State School was established in the building in 1874. The school was closed in 1875, and merged with the Ceres State School; the new school would also be called "Barrabool", but located in modern Ceres. The school, vicarage, and the second Anglican church survive, and are listed on the Victorian Heritage Register. The register reports that the Anglican school is the second earliest surviving school in Victoria.

A Presbyterian denominational school, located on Barrabool Road, opened on 19 May 1858 on part of the former "Strathlachlan" estate. A Presbyterian manse was then built, with the foundation stone laid on 25 November 1859. A Presbyterian church was officially opened on 9 April 1871. The school became common school No. 73 in 1863, and a new stone school building was built in the 1870s, with tenders called in 1874. The Presbyterian school closed later that decade, and would later be briefly used for the revived Barrabool State School. The Presbyterian church survives as the Barrabool Uniting Church.

A Bible Christian Church was established at the corner of Polleys and Balanclea Roads in the 1850s, with the foundation stone laid on 17 November 1856. Wynd reports a Wesleyan church and school were also existent in the 1850s, further west on Polleys Road. These churches have long since closed; their closure dates are unknown.

The original Barrabool State School that had been closed and merged with Ceres in 1875 re-opened in 1921, initially in the stone building that had served as the Presbyterian school in the late 1870s. A new two-acre site opposite had been purchased, and a new building for the school was built thereafter. The school closed in the 20th century, though its closure date is unknown. The Public Record Office records "Barrabool Hills" as a former name for the school; the date of this usage is also unknown.

A postal receiving office opened at Barrabool around 1902, and closed on 23 December 1914. A returning office again opened there on 1 August 1921, became Barrabool Post Office on 1 July 1927, and closed on 30 June 1963.

Barrabool today

The Surf Coast Shire heritage overlay protects eleven surviving buildings in Barrabool with heritage value: the Holy Trinity Anglican Church School, Holy Trinity Anglican Church and Parsonage and the Neuchatel property, which are also listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, the "Ballanclea", "Tasman", "Foymount", "Berramongo", and "Merrawarp" homesteads, Wescott's Stable, the Barrabool Presbyterian Church, and the "Stanbury" barn.

The Barrabool Cricket Club remains active, fielding four senior men's teams in the Bellarine Peninsula Cricket Association, a senior women's team in the Barwon Women's Cricket Competition and four junior teams in the Geelong Junior Cricket Association. The Barrabool Memorial Gates at the entrance to the local sports ground are listed on the Victorian War Heritage Inventory, as they were dedicated in memory of World War I and the first pioneers of the district.

The Uniting Church holds fortnightly services at their Barrabool church (the former Presbyterian church) on the corner of Andersons and Barrabool Roads. The Anglican church no longer holds services, but is open to viewings by appointment.

The McAdam Park motocross race track was located at Barrabool from 1962 until 2015, when it closed after a community campaign by the Barrabool Rural Protection Group against the facility and a Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal decision blocking its redevelopment. The site was subsequently divided into three residential lots.

text:
Fedorivka is a selo in Novoukrainka Raion, Kirovohrad Oblast of Ukraine. Fedorivka belongs to Tyshkivka rural hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. The village is best known as the site of an ancient mega-settlement dating to 4100 BC belonging to the Cucuteni–Trypillia culture. The settlement was very large for that time, covering an area of  and an estimated population of 6,700.

This proto-city is just one of 2,440 Cucuteni-Trypillia settlements discovered so far in Moldova and Ukraine. Some 194 (8%) of these settlements had an area of more than 10 hectares between 5000–2700 BC and more than 29 settlements had an area in the range of 100 to 450 hectares.

Until 18 July 2020, Fedorivka belonged to Dobrovelychkivka Raion. The raion was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kirovohrad Oblast to four. The area of Dobrovelychkivka Raion was merged into Novoukrainka Raion.

title: Communist era

text:
A communist era is a sustained period of national government by a single party following the philosophy of Marxism–Leninism. Many countries have experienced such a period of communist rule.

Current communist states

China

The Chinese Communist Party emerged as the dominant political entity in mainland China following the Chinese Civil War of 1927–1949. On October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong declared the People's Republic of China from atop Tiananmen.

Cuba

Following the 1953–1959 Cuban Revolution, the new government led by Fidel Castro transitioned the country into a one-party state, with all meaningful opposition media closed to transferred to state control by the end of 1960. In 1976 a national referendum ratified a new constitution, with 97.7% in favour, which  secured the Communist Party's central role in governing Cuba.

Laos

Communist rule in Laos began in March 1975 after the Khmer Rouge army took power with the support of the North Vietnamese after the Fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War. In December 1975 King Sisavang Vatthana was forced to abdicate and the Lao People's Democratic Republic was pronounced, and a very authoritarian system introduced – non-communist newspapers were closed, and a large-scale purge of the civil service, army and police was launched.

Vietnam

The Communist Party of Vietnam was created in 1930 but didn't come in to power until the Japanese occupation of Vietnam from 1940 to 1945. The Democratic Party of Vietnam was formed and, due to failed negotiations between anti-communist French, led to the First Indochina War. After the war, the Geneva Accord (1954) split the country in to a communist North (known as Democratic Republic of Vietnam) and an anti-communist South (Known as The State of Vietnam). This would lead to the Vietnam War and the withdrawal of anti-communist soldiers from the area.

Current states with a history of communist rule

Afghanistan
The Democratic Republic of Afghanistan was founded on April 30, 1978, following the Saur Revolution, a military coup led by the People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA), overthrew the government of President Mohammed Daoud Khan, who had established a republic in 1973 after ending the monarchy. The People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan was supported by the Soviet Union through a series of internal power struggles, eventually collapsing in 1992 after the Soviet Union's dissolution.

title: Uday Umesh Lalit

text:
Uday Umesh Lalit (born 9 November 1957) is an Indian lawyer and former Supreme Court Judge, who served as the 49th Chief Justice of India. Previously, he has served as a judge of Supreme Court of India. Prior to his elevation as a judge, he practised as a senior counsel at the Supreme Court. Justice Lalit is one of the six senior counsels who have been directly elevated to the Supreme Court. He is currently ‘Distinguished Visiting Professor’ at Ashank Desai Centre for Policy Studies, Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. and Distinguished Visiting Professor at West Bengal National University of Juridical Sciences

Family and education
Lalit was born in Solapur to the family of U.R. Lalit, a former additional judge of the Bombay High Court Nagpur bench and a senior counsel practising at the Supreme Court of India. His family hails from Konkan but moved to Solapur when his grandfather, Ranganath Lalit, began practicing law. Ranganath Lalit chaired two separate civic receptions when Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru visited Solapur. He is married to Amita Lalit.

Lalit attended Haribhai Deokaran High School in Solapur and is a law graduate from the Government Law College, Mumbai.

Career
Lalit enrolled with the Bar Council of Maharashtra and Goa as an advocate in June 1983. He started his practice with advocate M.A. Rane, who was considered a proponent of the radical humanist school of thought who believed that social work was as important as building a solid legal practice. He shifted his practice to Delhi in 1985 and joined the chamber of senior advocate Pravin H. Parekh. From 1986 to 1992, Lalit worked with former Attorney General for India, Soli Sorabjee. On 3 May 1992, Lalit qualified and was registered as an Advocate-on-Record at the Supreme Court. On 29 April 2004, Lalit was designated as a senior advocate of the Supreme Court.

In 2011, a Supreme Court bench of Justices G. S. Singhvi and Asok Kumar Ganguly appointed Lalit as the special public prosecutor for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in the 2G spectrum cases, stating that "in the interest of a fair prosecution of the case, appointment of UU Lalit is eminently suitable". His professional strengths are described as 'thoroughness with the case, patience in explaining legal questions and the sober demeanour in presenting the case before the bench.

As a Supreme Court judge
In July 2014, the Supreme court collegium headed by then Chief Justice of India Rajendra Mal Lodha recommended his elevation to the Supreme Court as a judge. He was appointed as a judge on 13 August 2014 and became only the sixth lawyer to be directly elevated to the Supreme Court.

In 2017, he was part of the five-judge bench in the case against the unconstitutional nature of triple talaq, then being practiced by Indian Muslim men to divorce their wives by uttering the word "talaq" (divorce) three times. Along with Lalit, J S Khehar, Kurian Joseph, R F Nariman, and Abdul Nazeer delivered the verdict banning the practice.

On 10 January 2019, Justice Lalit recused himself from a five-judge bench constituted to hear the Ayodhya dispute case. His appearance for the erstwhile Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Kalyan Singh in a 'connected case' was brought to the notice of the court by Rajeev Dhavan, and the court in its order noted the 'disinclination' of Justice Lalit to participate in the matter. He has also recused himself from multiple other high-profile cases.

In May 2021, he was part of a bench which denied bail to 2018 Bhima Koregaon violence accused activist Gautam Navlakha.

He was part of the two-judge bench, along with Indu Malhotra, that upheld the Travancore royal family's right to administer the Padmanabhaswamy Temple on 13 July 2020.

As Chief Justice of India
On 10 August 2022, the President of India Droupadi Murmu appointed him the 49th Chief Justice of India. He took oath as the chief justice on 27 August 2022 in the Rashtrapati Bhavan. He is the second direct appointee from the Bar to be appointed as the Chief Justice of India.

Chief Justice Lalit's tenure despite being short had brought major administrative changes to the court, a frantic pace of work with each bench of judges having to deal with 60-70 cases per day. Over the years Supreme Court's number of constitution bench judgements fell dramatically from an average of 134 in the 1960s to just 2 in 2021, this has led to 53 such critical constitutional cases being left unheard and pending. To reverse this trend Chief Justice U. U Lalit announced that a constitution bench would hear 25 constitutional cases on his first day of office, and under his tenure at least one constitutional bench functioned everyday. The cases heard include the legality of the Citizenship Amendment Act, validity of demonetisation, setting up of regional benches of the supreme court, the declaring of Muslims as a socially and educationally backward community in Andhra Pradesh, right to a dignified death, protection of jallikattu, etc. There had also been a decline in the pendency of cases from 70,301 on September 1 to 69,461 on October 1. The supreme court began live streaming constitutional bench proceedings under his tenure. By the end of his tenure, the supreme court disposed of 10,000 cases while 8,700 cases were freshly filed which had resulted in a slight decrease in the pendency of cases and the court had set up 6 constitution benches.

Chief Justice Lalit could only recommend one new judge to the Supreme Court, thus his proposal to recommend four more judges to the court, to fill the vacancies in the court, failed to get approval of the collegium over procedural differences arising out of the proposal being sent by circulation instead of being presented in a face to face meeting, as the meeting scheduled on September 30 couldn't take place as one of its members Justice Dhananjaya Y. Chandrachud was busy hearing cases until 9:10 PM. As per procedure the Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju wrote to the Chief Justice on October 7 almost a month before his retirement, asking for his recommendations for the appointment of his successor, by convention once this letter is sent the collegium freezes and no new decisions like induction of new judges will be taken until the appointment of next Chief Justice.

He was part of the dissenting opinion in the plea against the 103rd constitutional amendment which created 10% reservation for those designated to be part of the economically weaker section (EWS), the dissenting judges were of the view that the exclusion of SCs/STs, and OBCs from the quota was violation of equality and discriminatory, and that the judgement would act as a gateway to further infractions of the 50% ceiling set by the supreme court on reservation.

The supreme court under his tenure gave pro-civil liberties judgements like giving bail to activist Teesta Setalvad and the journalist Sidheeq Kappan. However his role in the unprecedented urgent Saturday morning hearing of the appeal against the acquittal of UAPA accused G. N. Saibaba by the Bombay High Court came into question, as the chief justice being the "master of the roster" has the power to decide when cases are listed and which bench of judges hears them.

title: KT315

text:
The KT315 is a Soviet silicon NPN bipolar junction transistor used for general-purpose low-power amplifying or switching applications, enclosed in the plastic KT-13 package. It was widely used in Soviet electronic equipment.
The KT361 is a complementary (PNP) for the KT315 transistor, so it was often paired with it in push-pull stages.

KT315 and KT361 transistors became the first in the USSR, which were produced using planar technology. The characteristics achieved in the KT315 were groundbreaking in Soviet technology at that time. The process of manufacturing was much cheaper than the alloy-junction technology, and the parameters surpassed those of earlier transistor types, in particular, the unity-gain frequency was 250 MHz.

The people associated with the development and mass-production launch of the KT315 were awarded the USSR State Prize for it in 1973.

Application
KT315 transistors were designed for use in high-, medium- and sound-frequency amplifying stages.

title: Annika Ström

text:
Annika Ström (born 9 November 1964) is a Swedish artist, living and working in London, United Kingdom. Ström works mainly with performance art, text, films (video art) and sound. Her work addresses subjective states of crisis and insecurity in songs, videos and text pieces displaying self-reflective phrases like "Excuse me I am sorry, Everything in this show can be used against me, I am a better artist than I deserve". In her films Ström draws upon details of everyday life and seemingly insignificant experiences usually accompanied by her own low-fi synth-pop soundtracks. She often works with members of her family. Her films explore the subjects of failure, loss and disappearance. Ström's text works consist of phrases, normally no more than a few words, transcribed onto sheets of paper or, onto a wall. Her videos, songs and text works are structured around the poetic transfiguration of the ordinary. Her work has been featured in many international exhibitions such as Palais de Tokyo,  Whitsable Biennale.

Studies in Copenhagen
Ström studied at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts Copenhagen between 1991 and 1997. During her second year, 1993, she moved to Berlin and commuted to school. She remained in Berlin until she moved to the UK in 2005.

First performance work
Ström's first performance took place in 1995 with Anna Ström & Annika Ström at the Rupert Goldsworthy gallery space in Prenzlauerberg in Berlin. Her mother, Anna, was invited to work in the gallery, making portraits of her daughter over three days, which her mother then sold. Anna had not made a drawing for 43 years.

Since the appearance of Anna Ström in her very first public work, Anna Ström has appeared in many of her films.
In Collector Anna shows her collection of Annika's early art school nude studies, as if they were old masterpieces. In 2008 Anna Ström developed severe Alzheimers which Ström depicted in I can hardly recognize myself , and the super8 films; Crystal Brain and Sunshine Head.

Film and soundtrack
In 1995 Ström did her first long-form video, Windowpillow- a Berlin habit , about the East Berliner practice of leaning out of their windows, while resting their arms on pillows. The work included both film and pillows and was first shown at Saga Basement, an artist's run space. Having just graduated, this film contributed to her having her first solo show at Casey Kaplan gallery in New York 1997.
From 1995 Ström began to do her own film soundtracks. Using only a simple keyboard she scored for, Summer 96, The Artist Live, The Artist musical, Ten New Love Songs, Six Songs For A Time Like This and 16 Minutes.
In many of these films she acts out different characters, best known perhaps is Swedish Traveller (3 min 95) and performing the art songs in Artist Musical (13 min 96). Ström has made over 35 films. In 2013 she directed the short film “The Swede” featuring Gunnel Lindblom and Carina Westling.

Performing the soundtrack
With these films Ström began to perform her soundtracks live and as the songs were short so were the concerts, and many missed the concerts, this resulted in the film The Missed Concert . The Missed Concert is part of what Ström calls her “Absent Films” including, After Film Trailer and Been in Video, exploring the subjects of failure and disappearance. She has published three vinyl records relating to the soundtrack to the films Summer96, The Artist Live and Ten New Love Songs.

Performance work
In 2010 Ström staged a performance at the London Frieze art fair where ten identically dressed men walked around together at the fair looking embarrassed. The caused of the embarrassment was the low number of work produced by women artists that are represented at commercial art fairs. This work gained much press attention. The work was followed by a series of other performances such as "The Upset Man" 2010 and "The Inpet Five",  2011. Another ongoing performance is the "Seven Women Standing In The Way" where seven women in their 60s gently block the entrance of an art space, by talking, drinking and being oblivious to other visitor's attempts to enter the space.
The performance work "Look the other Way" at Winchester Great Hall and Shanty Clash' were commissioned in 2013 by artSouth collaboration. Six Lovely People took place at Fig2 at Ica, London 2015 and Six Errands included 29 performers at The Gallery in Leicester acting out five performance work simultaneously.

Text work
Since 2000 Ström has also worked extensively with text phrases, painted on both paper and canvas, of which many are in private and public collections. In 2014 the Swedish Art Agency commissioned her to do 10 texts works for the new build extension of LUX, the Humanities Department at Lund University. On the roof of the building a 10 meter long text in metal it says; "men vänta nu". (Direct English translation is; "but wait now " meaning, “hold on”). The work is permanent.

Teaching
Ström held a part-time professorship at The Academy of Fine Art Oslo 2009-2010. There she created several workshops with titles such as Mamma or Pappa, How to Change the Situation by Statistical Information! A workshop about the representation of women artist at public museums. The statistics were then read by Ströms father in the film, Ragnar Ström Reading Statistics in his Garden 2009. In the film, Ragnar, a former history teacher is reading statistics relating to his daughter profession in a dry, accusing manner. Another workshop Excuse me, I have to go the rest room, took place in public toilets around Oslo, as spaces for displaying art. "From January 2017 to May 2018 she was a senior lecturer at Academy of fine Arts in Umeå, Sweden. She had held workshops and talks at several Universities in Europe, among them; Munich Academy of Fine Art, University of Arts Linz, Staffordshire University & Imperial College London.

title: Carlos J. Finlay Military Hospital

text:
The Central Military Hospital Carlos J. Finlay is a Cuban military hospital in Havana, Cuba. It was founded in 1943 with the objective of providing medical attention to the Cuban Military and their families. It is named for Cuban epidemiologist Carlos Finlay.

History

Originally founded in Camp Columbia military base, the hospital was originally a rustic military hospital.
Under the government of General Mario García Menocal, the order was given to build the hospital for the military and their families. At that time, they began to replace the wood walls, improvised flooring and pavilions with concrete. Some of the pavilions were isolated in an effort to contain infectious diseases.

When Fulgencio Batista took power, he improved the lifestyle and housing conditions of the military. One of the biggest achievements was the inauguration of the hospital in its present location, on September 4, 1943, located on Avenida 31, then named Avenida de Columbia.

title: Canton, Ontario

text:
Canton is a hamlet in southeastern Ontario, a few kilometers (a few miles) north of Port Hope. It has a small wooden chapel built in 1832, one of the oldest in the region. Canton was once the home of Vincent Massey, the lawyer, diplomat and Governor General of Canada.

Location

Canton is on County Road 10 where it crosses the Ganaraska River, at an elevation of about  above sea level.
It is about  inland from Port Hope.
Canton Airport lies about  to the northwest of Canton at an elevation of .
It has an asphalt runway  that is not maintained in winter.

Foundation

The Hawkins family came from Port Hope to settle in Canton before 1820.
A log building on the property of James Hawkins was used as a school and chapel by 1820. The wooden "Hope Chapel" was built by the people of Canton in 1832.
The small wooden Methodist chapel was one of the first churches in the area.
The chapel and graveyard lie on the fourth line, just east of County Road 10.
The oldest grave is that of a member of the Hawkins family.

19th century

An 1869 gazetteer of Ontario described Canton as a village on Smith's creek, in the township of Hope, County Durham. The average price of land was CDN$50 per acre, and the population was 100 in twenty-eight households. Most of the people were farmers, but there was a justice of the peace, a doctor, a Wesleyan minister, a postmaster and general merchant, a lumber dealer, a miller, a dressmaker, two coopers, two carpenters and Thomas Martin, proprietor of the Canton Hotel.
A new church building was erected beside the Hope Chapel by local craftsmen in 1876.

By 1880 the post village of Canton had a population of 200.
The Canton Mill on the Ganaraska River has a date stone that says "W.H.Kinsman, Canton, 1886".
The Advertisers Handbook of 1912 reported that the mill was still operated by W.H.Kinsman.
The mill was water-powered, used for grinding flour.
Fred Currelley, secretary of the Perrytown cheese factory, lived in Canton in 1891.

Sergeant Edward Edwin Dodd(s) (1845–1901) was born nearby. During the American Civil War (1861–65) he served as a volunteer and was awarded a Medal of Honor for bravery in rescuing his wounded captain in the face of enemy fire. He is buried in the Canton cemetery, which has a commemorative plaque in his honor.

20th century

The village was once the home of Vincent Massey (1887–1967).
The Masseys purchased an old farmhouse and surrounding property in 1918, and converted it into Batterwood House in 1927, the Masseys' main residence.
The Batterwood property was next to the property of George MacKinnon Wrong, a longtime friend of Massey who was Professor of Modern History at the University of Toronto.
Eugene Forsey, who had been hired to teach the two Massey boys wrote, "The place is beautiful – rolling country, lightly wooded here and there with a stream ending in a mill pond almost below the hill window."

In 1927 the Massey Foundation and the Canton United Church provided funding to move the Hope Chapel from its original location on the northwest corner of the property to its present site. The building was placed on cement foundations, was lengthened to include a stage, and had a kitchen and dining room added.
The Hope Chapel is now the Canton Hall.
As of 2014 the church was in good repair, with a new steel roof, but attendance was low.
The Canton Mill still stands, but is privately owned and is not open to the public.

The Canton Municipal Office, at 5325 County Road 10, is just to the north of the village.
In 2007 a consultant reviewed the use and condition of properties owned by the municipality of Port Hope. One of the recommendations was to relocate parks, recreation and culture staff from the Canton Municipal Office to the Town Hall. The Canton Municipal Office could be used as a community meeting space.

The Newmarket Industrial and Commercial Historic District encompasses the heart of a distinctive 19th century mill town, Newmarket, New Hampshire. Its mill complex is regionally distinctive for its extensive use of stone from an early date, and the town is relatively well-preserved due to a significant economic decline after the mills closed in 1920. The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The Stone School, listed in 1978, is a contributing resource.

Description and history
The town of Newmarket was incorporated in 1737, and was initially a shipping center, based on the Lamprey River, a tributary of the Piscataqua River. In the early 19th century, the power of the Lamprey River was harnessed by textile manufacturing businesses, which fueled the community's growth into the early 20th century. That industry then declined, leaving a distinctive architectural legacy in New Hampshire's Seacoast Region. The most notable aspects of the town's buildings is the use of stone, in contrast to other mill towns of southern New England, which predominantly used brick. The use of stone was not limited to the mills themselves: the historic district also has examples of stone houses, churches, and schools.

The historic district extends along Main Street (New Hampshire Route 108) between Gerry Street and Elm Street, Exeter between Gerry and Main, Nichols and Central streets, and a number of smaller adjacent streets between Main Street and Granite and Spring streets. Its principal eastern boundary is the Lamprey River, along which the surviving mill buildings are arrayed. Commercial buildings are mainly located across Main Street from the mills, with residential housing on side streets. A cluster of town buildings and a church are located at the junction of South Main Street and Beech Street Extension. The town hall is a handsome Greek Revival brick building constructed in 1847.
