Spotlight On: Tim O'Brien
Timothy O'Brien, Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in the College of Arts and Sciences at Loyola University Chicago, is the recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship to teach and conduct research at the Technical University of Budapest, Hungary during the 2021-2022 academic year
Timothy O'Brien, PhD, Professor in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics in the College of Arts and Sciences with a joint appointment in the School of Environmental Sustainability at Loyola University Chicago, was recently awarded a prestigious Fulbright Award. Specifically, O'Brien has received the Fulbright U.S. Scholar Program award in Data Science and STEM Research from the U.S. Department of State and the Fulbright Foreign Scholarship Board to serve as a visiting scholar at the Technical University of Budapest, Hungary during the 2021-2022 academic year.
While in residence at the Technical University of Budapest, O'Brien will give approximately ten research seminars at various universities and institutes throughout Europe, most notably in Austria, Finland, and Hungary. His research during this period will focus on unifying quantitative methods across disciplinary fields, extending environmental models and public health policy programs and targets to understand climate change, and working with a former Loyola student, Jack Silcox, on providing the end-user with practical rules for data modeling.
The international dimension of O'Brien's research began with his Peace Corps service in Benin, West Africa in 1980, and was followed by a Jefferson Science Fellowship in Washington, DC, and as an Embassy Science Expert in Rabat, Morocco. He also served in the Professor-in-Residence Program at the Infectious Disease Institute in Kampala, Uganda, participated as Senior Advisor with the international non-governmental organization Pilar Research, and taught short courses and advised graduate students at the African Institutes for Mathematical Sciences in Cameroon, Ghana, Senegal, and South Africa.
O'Brien has started working with a new Loyola Applied Statistics MS student Timothy DeRolf on environmental modeling of extreme events–such as hurricanes, wildfires, and drought–and connections with public health programs, including application of better modeling to address the next zoonotic disease/virus. O'Brien plans to work with his student and make a deeper dive into these fields. Their goal? To help provide environmental and public health policy makers with better data and information to inform key, sustainable research and decision-making.
"The kind of statistical analysis and modeling that Tim O'Brien is helping to develop are essential to understanding and addressing issues in climate change, sustainability, public health, and related areas," says Peter J. Schraeder, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Loyola University Chicago. "His Fulbright award clearly demonstrates the international relevance of his research agenda, which involves collaboration with colleagues in Europe to share leading-edge methodology with researchers and policymakers who will leverage it to work toward solutions."
O'Brien is the most recent of dozens of College of Arts and Sciences faculty who have received Fulbright Awards over the years. The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government, and is designed to forge lasting connections between the people of the United States and the peoples of other countries, counter misunderstanding, and help people and nations work together toward common goals. Since its establishment in 1946, the Fulbright Program has enabled more than 390,000 dedicated and accomplished students, scholars, artists, teachers, and professionals of all backgrounds to study, teach and conduct research, exchange ideas, and find solutions to shared international concerns.

We consider the problem of reconstructing the combinatorial structure of a set of \(n\) points in the plane given partial information on the relative position of the points. This partial information consists of the radial ordering, for each of the \(n\) points, of the \(n-1\) other points around it. We show that this information is sufficient to reconstruct the chirotope, or labeled order type, of the point set, provided its convex hull has size at least four. Otherwise, we show that there can be as many as \(n-1\) distinct chirotopes that are compatible with the partial information, and this bound is tight. Our proofs yield polynomial-time reconstruction algorithms. These results provide additional theoretical insights on previously studied problems related to robot navigation and visibility-based reconstruction.

Nottinghamshire FA are investigating a report of a player allegedly inserting his finger into an opposition player's anus during a Sunday League match. A leaked message from the FA's discipline team says the alleged incident took place during a Nottinghamshire Sunday League game on January 8.
A player for the one of the teams is alleged to have inserted a finger or multiple fingers into a rival player's anus during the game. "It has been reported to us that during a match between [home team] and [away team], a player allegedly inserted his finger(s) into an opposition player's anus," reads the message.
Nottinghamshire FA said it was aware of an incident being reported which is currently under investigation. The leaked message requests for a witness statement form to be distributed to coaches, players and spectators who were at the match and asks for them to be completed by Monday, January 23. Nottinghamshire Police said they were unaware of any reports of the incident.

READERS' PICK: We trust our readers to point out the very best of what's out there for this issue. But every now and then, they come up with a head scratcher, what we refer to in the biz as "The Taco Bell Quandary." We love the Blue Willow for its breakfast, its food the rest of the day, its service and its remarkable desserts. Having said all that (and not wanting to be negative), please allow us to report that the readers also picked as the winner in the Best Outdoor Seating category the Blue Willow--pigeon netting, outdoor gas heaters and all. (In the future, we'll make a note to remind readers that if you need heaters to allow you to eat outside, you should probably be dining inside.)
READERS' POLL RUNNER-UP: Caruso's, 434 N. Fourth Ave. Remember the old Yogi Berra-ism about his once-favorite restaurant: "Nobody goes there anymore; it's too crowded"? Along those lines, we find Caruso's. Snobs have been dogging Caruso's forever, but all the landmark on Fourth Avenue has been doing is serving Tucsonans since World War II! Tucson is liberally sprinkled with couples whose first dates were at Caruso's: an inexpensive Italian meal under a bright moon out on the patio. It's an absolute Tucson tradition, one that has stood the test of time and has silenced every critic. Long live Caruso's!
LOOSE CHANGE: Tohono Chul Tea Room, 7366 N. Paseo del Norte. The majority of seating for this bistro-style restaurant is, in fact, outside. Mature trees and modest umbrellas provide gentle shade for this open patio, where highlights are the sound of songbirds and the sight of innumerable desert flowers year round. You'd never know this lush oasis set back from Ina Road on quiet Paseo del Norte was just minutes from the Foothills Mall. Over the years, Tohono Chul has coaxed zillions of out-of-towners from the notion that deserts are dead and brown. Once thawed, neophyte snowbirds have a tendency to relax into a frown at our low-water ways, but the combination of indulgent service and lacy vegetation on the Tea Room patio turns those frowns into gentle, knowing smiles.

Most Popular Messaging App – Who owns Whatsapp?
By Jack On Jan 25, 2023
Share FacebookTwitterGoogle+LinkedinReddItWhatsAppPinterestEmailPrint
Over 2 billion people use WhatsApp every month, making it one of the most popular messaging apps in the world. But who owns the company that makes this well-known app? Here's a look at who owns WhatsApp and which people and companies have contributed to the success of the company.
The founders are Jan Koum and Brian Acton
The Current CEO1
The Employees
Jan Koum and Brian Acton, who used to work at Yahoo, started WhatsApp in 2009. The two people who started the company wanted to make a simple and safe messaging app that people all over the world could use. Over time, Koum and Acton made WhatsApp one of the most popular messaging apps in the world, with more than 2 billion monthly active users.
In 2014, Facebook announced that it would buy WhatsApp for a whopping $19 billion. This was one of the biggest tech deals ever made. Under the terms of the deal, Koum and Acton joined the Facebook team and kept running WhatsApp as an independent subsidiary of the social media giant.
In 2018, when Koum and Acton left the company, Will Cathcart became the new CEO. Cathcart has worked for the company since 2011, and he has been a big part of making the app better and bigger over the years. Under Cathcart's direction, WhatsApp keeps adding new users and improving its features and capabilities.
Engineers, designers, and other professionals work together to make and improve the WhatsApp app. They are in charge of making new features, fixing bugs, and making sure that users all over the world can use the app smoothly. They also help make decisions and come up with plans for the future of the company.
In conclusion, Jan Koum and Brian Acton started WhatsApp, but Facebook now owns it. Will Cathcart is the CEO now. He took over when Koum and Acton left the company. The company also has a group of employees whose job is to work on the app and make it better. Even though it has changed hands, WhatsApp is still a popular messaging app with a large number of active users.

Lukaku is the highest scorer in the league with 24 goals.
Romelu Lukaku has emerged as Manchester United's top target for the summer, with Jose Mourinho convinced of his quality and wants to reconnect with him as he looks to challenge for the Premier League title next season. The Belgian striker played under Mourinho at Chelsea but was sold to Everton in 2014 as he did not fit the Portuguese manager's bill with his performances.
However, the Guardian reports that Mourinho is now ready to bring the striker to United to replace Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and is out till later in the year. Lukaku is currently the highest goalscorer in the league with 24 goals, three more than Harry Kane, and Mourinho is confident that a proven goalscorer is what the team needs to step up a level.
Lukaku has only two years left in his current contract and Everton would demand a fee in excess of £60m($77m) to complete a deal. The striker has previously expressed a desire to play in the Champions League and recently rejected an opportunity to sign a new deal with the club, opening the door for other suitors to make an offer for the free-scoring striker.
Chelsea are also interested in the frontman and should United fail to qualify for the biggest club competition in Europe via the top four route route or winning the Europa League, Antonio Conte's men will be favourites to sign the Belgian. The Blues already have Diego Costa up front to deliver the goods but Conte knows that they need more firepower up front to challenge for the title next season as they will also be active in Europe, something that they missed this season.
Lukaku is being represented by Mino Raiola, who has a very good relationship with Mourinho, and helped in the transfer of three players to Old Trafford last summer, in the form of Paul Pogba, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Ibrahimovic. The Red Devils face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, where a loss will all but end their hopes of finishing in the top four.

Your share could raise $30
Before you go, did you know that simply by sharing this campaign, you could help it raise $30? It's an effective way to support the cause.
Help Repair Dar Yusuf Nasri Jacir for Art and Research
73% of $50k goal
Association for Modern and Contemporary Art of the Arab World, Iran, and Turkey hasn't added a story.
UPDATE (June 23, 2021): We are starting the transfer to Dar Jacir at the end of the month but will leave the fundraiser up for about two weeks longer to give time to a few who wanted to give. Sending gratitude to all.
UPDATE (June 11, 2021): We are all overwhelmed and thrilled by the international outpouring of support for Dar Jacir and its work. With twelve days left in the campaign, we have decided to double the campaign goal to $50,000. The original goal of $25,000 was oriented to repairing the damages sustained when Israeli forces raided the center. With the new fundraiser goal of $50,000 we will be able to direct donations to the longterm flourishing of Dar Yusuf Nasri Jacir for Art & Research, including maintaining and improving the Urban Farm. Thank you for your love and solidarity!!
Help Repair the Dar Yusuf Nasri Jacir for Art and Research in Bethlehem!
As many of you know, last week Israeli occupation forces broke into and raided Dar Yusuf Nasri Jacir for Art & Research — the beloved and respected grass-roots independent artist–run initiative founded in Bethlehem in 2014 by Emily Jacir, Annemarie Jacir, and Yusuf Nasri Jacir, and currently co-directed by Emily Jacir and Aline Khoury. Team members and resident artists are safe, but there was extensive damage throughout the historic 19th century building. The offices were ransacked, and equipment was taken including phones, computer, hard drive, cameras, books and more. Dar Jacir lost their Urban Farm as well when it was burnt to the ground during several fires that surrounded the house. You can read more here:
https://www.instagram.com/p/CO_TSm9N6z5/
https://hyperallergic.com/646833/artist-emily-jacirs-bethlehem-arts-center-ransacked-by-israeli-army/
Donations in any amount will help replace equipment, repair the damages, and support the Dar Jacir team. The immediate goal is to cover damages estimated to be c. $25,000.
This campaign is hosted by AMCA (in association with other non-profit organizations) and is being organized on behalf of Emily Jacir, with her blessing, by a small group of friends and colleagues who passionately believe that the world needs this art space.
Please pass this message on to others! Let's help the Dar Jacir team continue to do this work, which is more urgently needed than ever.
In solidarity, the friends of Dar Jacir (among them Julia Bryan-Wilson, Anneka Lenssen, Asma Kazmi, Ahmad Diab, Nada Shabout, Sarah Rogers, and many others)
A note on payment processing issues: We believe we've resolved most of the Paypal issues, although we continue to receive notes from some donors to the campaign who found that Mastercard in particular was not going through properly. A workaround may be to use a debit card rather than a credit card (for those who have one).
Association for Modern and Contemporary Art of the Arab World, Iran, and Turkey hasn't posted any updates yet.

French special forces free four hostages in Burkina Faso
Raymond Akamby Raymond Akamby
10 May 2019, 4:15 PM | AFP	| @SABCNewsOnline
Image: AFP
This handout photo released by the Marine Nationale on May 10, 2019 shows French soldiers Cedric de Pierrepont and Alain Bertoncello posing at un undisclosed location as French forces have freed two French hostages as well as an American and a South Korean in northern Burkina Faso.
French special forces have freed two French hostages, an American and a South Korean in northern Burkina Faso in an overnight raid in which two soldiers died, authorities announced Friday.
The operation was ordered to free the French tourists, identified as Patrick Picque and Laurent Lassimouillas, who disappeared while on holiday in the remote Pendjari National Park in neighbouring Benin on May 1.
The identity of the American and South Korean hostages was not immediately known, but they were both said to be women in a statement form the French presidency.
The location of the raid indicated that the French tourists had been kidnapped in Benin and taken over the nearby border into Burkina Faso, where Islamist terror groups have stepped up attacks in recent months.
President Emmanuel Macron "wants to congratulate the French armed forces for the liberation of the hostages, and includes everyone who worked alongside them," the statement from the presidency said.
"He bows with emotion and solemnity before the sacrifice of our two soldiers who gave their lives to save those of our citizens," the statement added.
In a separate statement, Defence Minister Florence Parly thanked authorities in Benin and Burkina Faso for their help with the "complex operation", as well as the United States for its "precious support".
Four kidnappers were killed in the raid, the French army said, adding that the American military had provided intelligence.
Former colonial ruler France has 4,500 troops deployed in Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad in a mission codenamed Barkhane to help local forces in their battle with jihadist groups.
American special forces and drones are also known to operate in the violence-wracked Sahel region, which France fears could become further destabilised as jihadist groups are pushed out of north Africa, Iraq and Syria.
Burkina Faso has suffered from increasingly frequent and deadly attacks attributed to a number of jihadist groups, including the Ansarul Islam group, the Group to Support Islam and Muslims (GSIM) and Islamic State in the Greater Sahara.
Relief and sadness
The French tourists, a jewellery seller and a piano teacher and orchestra conductor based in the Paris region aged 51 and 46, went missing with their wildlife guide on the last leg of their holiday in usually peaceful Benin.
The Pendjari wildlife reserve, which is famed for its elephants and lions, lies close to the porous border with Burkina Faso.
The badly disfigured body of their guide was found shortly after they disappeared, as well as their abandoned four-wheel Toyota truck.
The two men are expected to travel back to France this weekend, probably on Saturday.
"We'll travel up to Paris to welcome them off the plane," Jean-Claude Picque, the father of hostage Patrick Picque, told AFP from his home in northern France.
"They told us that hostage-takings can be very long, but in the end it worked out ok, but not for the soldiers," he said.
The two dead soldiers were named as Cedric de Pierrepont and Alain Bertoncello, decorated naval special forces members born in 1986 and 1991 respectively.
They were part of the "Task Force Sabre" unit which is based in Burkina Faso.
A total of 24 French soldiers from the Barkhane force have died in the region since 2013 when France intervened in Mali to drive back jihadist groups who had taken control of the north of the country.
The last death was announced on April 2 when a military doctor was killed in Mali when his armoured vehicle hit an improvised explosive device during an operation near the border with Burkina Faso.
Macron has repeatedly called on France's allies to help fund and train a new regional African military force called the G5 Sahel, which experts continue to see as under-equipped and still heavily dependent on French firepower.
South Korea's ambassador in Paris was unable to comment on the identity of the freed Korean national.
"We do not have detailed information, but we are in close contact with French authorities. I can't say anything now," Jongmoon Choi told AFP by telephone.
The US embassy in Paris declined to comment.

Have you joined the resistance yet?
At the center of the series is Tom Mason (Noah Wyle), a Boston history professor whose family has been torn apart. His wife was killed in the initial attack, and one of his three sons has been captured. Determined to get his son back and to ensure the safety of his other two sons, Tom must put his extensive knowledge of military history to the test as one of the leaders of the resistance movement known as the 2nd Mass, because of their location in Boston, Mass. They are constantly trying to gain intelligence about the aliens in order to one day outsmart and overtake them and hopefully rebuild their lives.
The aliens in the series are mighty, mysterious and merciless. They are highly intelligent and use military-like tactics, which makes them an overwhelming force against the 2nd Mass. There are two types of aliens that the human survivors have named Skitters and Mechs. Combining live action and special visual effects, the Skitters have spider-like bodies and incredible strength and agility. The deadly, robotic Mechs stand upright and can shoot bullets from their arms. The aliens control captured children, like Tom's son Ben, through bio-mechanical harnesses but have yet to reveal their ultimate plan for them.
FALLING SKIES is executive-produced by Steven Spielberg, along with DreamWorks Television heads Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank, Graham Yost (Justified, The Pacific) and screenwriter Robert Rodat. Rodat, who earned an Oscar® nomination for his screenplay for Saving Private Ryan, wrote the pilot from an idea he co-conceived with Spielberg. Mark Verheiden (Heroes, Battlestar Galactica) and Greg Beeman (Heroes, Smallville) are co-executive producers. The pilot was directed by Carl Franklin (One False Move, Out of Time).
Falling Skies Survival Kit includes First Aid instruction card; light stick with lanyard; emergency whistle with lanyard, blankets and wearables, emergency blanket, rain poncho bag, pouch with Velcro strap.
Disclosure: Thank you to TNT for providing Falling Skies giveaway prizes. I did not receive any compensation for this giveaway, all opinions are of my own.
I've been wanting to check this series out, now I will.
Please sign me up for the survival kit.
Weaver is definitely my favorite. He is such a hardass but is beginning to show his softer side.
I like Ben the best.
My favorite character is Tom Mason. He is the glue that keeps everything together and the level-headed one in the group. I love that he is a loving father and am waiting to see if there is going to be a full-fledged romance between Tom and Dr. Ann Glass. I love this show!
My husband DVR's the show and over the weekend my son and him watches it together. Would make a perfect gift for them two. Thanks for the chance.
I love Ben I think he is so caring even for being changed!!
I like Tom Mason! He will do anything to protect his family and the others.
I love the middle son of Noah Wyle, Matt.
Tom is my favorite and the reason I tune in, but I also love his sons and their relationships. Most interesting is definitely Ben and what's going on with him.
My husband and I are real fans of Falling Skies. Every time the show came on we were glued to the tv. Can not wait for the next season to air!!
I like Tom Mason. I think I have liked Noah Wyle since his stint in ER....sigh.
Tom has got to be the favorite character.
Have not seen this series yet, but want to. From the site, I think I would like Anne Glass. She plays a doctor and looks like an admirable character.
I haven't seen this show yet, but I would have to say that Anthony seems like he's going to be a good character on the show.


The mystery of the missing jersey — which grew to the mystery of the missing TWO jerseys when it was discovered the Super Bowl 49 jersey that Brady wore against the Seahawks had also been stolen, in addition to the well-known theft of his Super Bowl 51 shirt — was solved Monday when law-enforcement authorities recovered the items in a foreign country.
Brady released a statement through his agent on Monday thanking those who worked to get the jersey back.
What that positive experience will be is unknown, but — given the jerseys could be worth as much as $500,000 each on the sports-memorabilia market — they could bring in a lot of money for charity in a raffle or contest of some sort.

Henry VIII bigstock--220241785
The beautiful village of Chiddingstone is found right on the doorstep of Hever Castle, where Henry VIII famously courted Anne Boleyn. With the king a regular visitor to the area, we often wonder whether the famously peckish king ever passed through The Castle Inn's doors...
One of the best-preserved Tudor enclaves in the country, Chiddingstone village is blessed with many beautiful and historically important properties – including our very own Castle Inn, of course.
With our property dating back to early 15th century it is believed it was around in the days where Henry VIII was known to gallivant around the local countryside pursuing his many whims.
With Hever Castle just down the road, its owner Sir Thomas Boleyn (the father of Henry's doomed wife, Anne) is said to have bought property in Chiddingstone village during the early 1500s.
Believed to be the oldest working shop in the country today, one of those properties (now the gift shop, grocery store and Post Office known as The Tulip Tree) dates way back to 1453.
For a while, Thomas and his family must have led an idyllic life – but then Henry decided to execute his daughter and the family fell from the king's grace. Today's soap opera plot writers are still playing catch up with that one.
Henry's connection with Kent had already formed long before his romantic pursuits brought him to this corner of the Garden of England, however.
In 1493, at the tender age of three, he was appointed Constable of Dover Castle and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.
With such an early start in life, it's easy to imagine the future king stalking deer through the Kentish countryside long before his teens.
Of course, Henry was always an innovative king and when the Roman Catholic church wouldn't allow him to divorce Catherine and marry Anne, he infamously chose to break away from Rome to be with her. Shakespeare couldn't have scripted it better.
Some say, in fact, that Hever Castle was partly responsible for the formation of the Church of England. It was certainly a tumultuous time.
It's not just Hever that Henry had links to either. Leeds Castle, Manor Gate House Penshurst Place and Walmer Castle were also among his entourage's regular stomping grounds.
Around a 10 minute drive from us, Penshurst Place's Baron's Hall has been described as "one of the grandest rooms in the world" – so, of course, Henry bought the place. It was eventually gifted to Anne of Cleves as part of her divorce settlement. He never was one to hang around…
While we have no records to confirm that Henry VIII enjoyed our historic inn's hospitality, we like to imagine that once upon a time, at least for one evening, he was king of the Castle.

I reckon he would have visited the superb Castle Inn – can't have been a lot of choice back then, although perhaps kings weren't supposed to mix it with us commoners. Sadly for him he missed the top notch Larkins ale by 500 years, poor thing. Check out two walks right by Castle Inn at http://www.kentwalksnearlondon.com

The best way to get to the Azores, and the festa, is via SATA and Azores Express. From North American, you can depart from Boston, Providence, or Montreal for the short flight to Ponta Delgada, on the island of São Miguel. You can also take any major airline to Lisbon and transfer to SATA for the trip to the Azores. This planner is related to the article Feeding the Feast.

can you wax right away or does the paint needs to cure more?
Factory applied paint is cured at high temperatures (before rubber and trim pieces are installed). You may wax it at any time with a quality wax (without any abrasives.) Collision shop paint repiars need from 60-90 days to ensure full cure before wax is recomended.
Hi Gene. What Grey stated is 100% correct. You can wax a new car/factory paint job the day you bring the car home.
Paint jobs by Collision Repair, Body Shops etc. must be allowed to air cure because they can not be heat cured at high temperatures.
Great to hear did not want to harm new car thank you Grey & bbf2530.
Tell me if I'm crazy our not! Anyone else noticed the paint color on plastic painted parts (front and rear bumpers, side skirts) appears to be just a shade deeper then on hood, door panels, wings and trunk lid? Perhaps it's just the Ice Storm color, like mine, but I do see a difference.
Your not crazy. The bumpers probably have flexible clear coat, which can change lighter colors just a tad. They may also have been painted at a different time and not when the car itself was painted, so the dye lot(colorant) may not be a 100% match.
My 2013 fusion has exactly that problem, the left side of the rear bumper is a lot duller than the body (White). I don't know what happened but you can tell it's a different shade, the right side though is fine.

The following events occurred in February 1901:

Friday, February 1, 1901
 New Zealand became the first nation to create a governmental agency devoted to promoting tourism, with the creation of the Department of Tourist and Health Resorts.
 China's Fists of Righteous Harmony (Yihequan I-ho-chuan), which had fomented the killing of foreigners that became the Boxer Rebellion, was formally outlawed by the Imperial government.
 The body of Queen Victoria was transported from the Isle of Wight to Portsmouth on board her personal yacht, HMY Alberta.
 On Wall Street, New York City, the largest railroad network in the United States was announced when the Union Pacific Railroad acquired a majority of the stock of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. A syndicate composed of William Kissam Vanderbilt, J. P. Morgan, and the Rockefeller family purchased 1,300,000 shares of Southern Pacific for $10,000,000 to create "a continuous system under one control, extending from New York to San Francisco by rail and from San Francisco down the western coast as far as Panama and out across the Pacific to the Orient by steamers."
 Born:
 Frank Buckles, American soldier, last surviving American veteran of World War I, in Bethany, Missouri (d. 2011)
 Clark Gable, American film actor, known for starring roles in Mutiny on the Bounty and Gone with the Wind, recipient of the Academy Award for Best Actor for It Happened One Night, in Cadiz, Ohio (d. 1960)
 Died: Fitzedward Hall, 75, American linguist, one of the major U.S. contributors to the Oxford English Dictionary project and the first American to translate works from the Sanskrit language into the English language (b. 1825).

Saturday, February 2, 1901
 The funeral of Queen Victoria took place at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle after her body was transported from Portsmouth to London. The day before, the funeral procession had brought her from Osborne House to Portsmouth. Present at her funeral were the Kings of the United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal and Greece, and the future kings of Denmark and Sweden. According to contemporary accounts, the noise of the cannon firing at her funeral was not heard on the outskirts of London, "yet it was heard loudly at a number of villages in an approximate ring around 150 kilometres from the source".
 The United States Army Reorganization Bill, officially called "An Act To Increase the Efficiency of the Permanent Military Establishment of the United States", was signed into law by President William McKinley.
 The United States Army Nurse Corps was established as a permanent part of the United States Army's Medical Department. Although they could not yet become officers, women could now enlist in the Army for three year terms.
 Benjamin O. Davis Sr., who would become the first African-American general in the United States Army, received his first commission as an officer, when he was made a second lieutenant in the U.S. 9th Cavalry. Davis, who had enlisted as a private less than two years earlier, had been mentored by Major Charles Young, who, at the time, was the only other black officer in the United States Army.
 After starting only one week earlier, George Bernard Shaw completed the three act play The Admirable Bashville, a stage adaptation of his novel Cashel Byron's Profession.

 Arvid Wallman, Swedish Olympic diver, in Göteborg, Sweden (d. 1982)
 Died:
 Fukuzawa Yukichi, 66, Japanese economist, described as "the most influential thinker of the Meiji era in Japan after 1868", who guided the modernization of Japan after the Meiji Restoration, founded Keio University, and promoted the introduction of Western ideas into Japan. It would later be written, "it was from the foundations laid down by Fukuzawa and others like him that Japan rose to become one of the economic leaders of the world" (b 1835).
 Francis V. Woodhouse, 96, the last survivor of the "Twelve Apostles" of the Catholic Apostolic Church that had been organized in 1835. The central tenet of that church's members, that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ would take place before the death of the last of the new apostles, failed to be realized. No provision had been made for successors to any of the 12.
 Tom O'Brien, American baseball player, outfielder and first baseman for the Pittsburgh Pirates, died of pneumonia caused by typhoid fever (b. 1873). O'Brien had been ill since a post-season player tour of Cuba, when he was persuaded to drink a bucket of salt water in order to "cleanse his system".

Monday, February 4, 1901
 The Italian opera Tosca, by Giacomo Puccini, had its American premiere, at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, with soprano Milka Ternina and tenor Giuseppe Cremonini as Floria Tosca and Mario Cavaradossi, respectively, and Luigi Mancinelli conducting the orchestra. It would be an immediate success, and an author would later call it an opera "of apparently unflagging popularity... there must be scarcely a city or a town in the United States where opera has been given in the last eighty years that has not been exposed to at least one Tosca".
 On the same evening, the three-act comedy Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines, by Clyde Fitch, opened on Broadway theatre at the Garrick Theatre for the first of 168 performances. The play was a sensation, and made a star of Ethel Barrymore.
 The body of Queen Victoria was entombed at Frogmore Mausoleum in Windsor, next to that of her late husband, Prince Albert, whom she had survived for 39 years.
 With the signing into law of the "Canteen Act" two days earlier, the United States Department of War issued General Order Number 1  implementing the Act's provision against "the sale of, or dealing in, beer, wine or any intoxicating liquors by any person in any exchange or canteen or army transport or upon any premises used for military purposes by the United States." "Commanding officers will immediately carry the provisions of this law into full force and effect," the order stated, "and will be held strictly responsible that no exceptions or invasions are permitted."
 Andrew Carnegie, who owned 54 percent of Carnegie Steel Company, sold all of his shares to J. P. Morgan and associates. Although the details were kept confidential, it was estimated that Carnegie received at least 85 million dollars, equivalent to more than 2.4 billion dollars in 2016.
 By a vote of 15–14, the Cuban Constitutional Convention approved an electoral college system for electing the nation's president, rather than a popular vote.
 "John Marshall Day" was celebrated in major cities across the United States in honor of the centennial of the day that Marshall became the Chief Justice of the United States.
 Died: Jefferson F. Long, 64, a former slave who became the first African-American elected to represent the state of Georgia in the United States House of Representatives, of influenza. He served only two months, from January to March, 1871.

Tuesday, February 5, 1901
 Thomas Edison discovered and patented the rechargeable nickel–iron battery system and made plans to market it commercially, but would soon come into conflict with Swedish inventor Waldemar Jungner, who had filed a patent in Europe only two weeks earlier (January 22) for a process using nickel-iron storage cells. The technologies would later be superseded by improvements on Jungner's nickel–cadmium battery.
 The United States Senate voted to declassify all United States Department of State papers relating to the peace negotiations that ended the Spanish–American War, including U.S. President William McKinley's instructions to the American negotiators. These would reveal, among other things, that the only territory that the United States originally had wanted Spain to completely give up was Puerto Rico and its surrounding islands.  Other correspondence showed that the principal reason for acquiring "Porto Rico" was to expand the prestige of the United States in competition with other colonial powers.
 In Evansville, Indiana, a fire burned through the business district, causing $175,000 of damage.
 Henry E. Youtsey was sentenced to life imprisonment for being the principal conspirator in the 1900 assassination of Kentucky Governor-elect William Goebel. After serving nearly 18 years of his sentence, however, Youtsey would be paroled on December 11, 1918, and given a pardon by outgoing Governor James D. Black on December 1, 1919.
 By act of the Alabama Legislature, the city of Daphne, Alabama, ceased to be the county seat for Baldwin County and all county government offices and records were moved to the smaller town of Bay Minette. The legislation would precipitate a fight between the two cities, all the way to the state supreme court, as well as a violent confrontation during the October removal of the records.
 The West Florida Annexation Association, a group of businessmen led by Colonel J. J. Sullivan of Pensacola, appeared before the Alabama Legislature and presented their proposal for annexation of that part of the state to Alabama.
 Abraham Esau, 35, a coloured citizen of the Boer Cape Colony, worked as a British spy during the Second Boer War after local Boer commander refused to let the coloured citizens take up weapons to lead the fight. After the Boers retook the town of Calvinia, Esau was eliminated by being dragged to the outskirts of town and shot, and his body was then displayed in the village as a warning. When the British routed the Boers the next day, Esau was buried with full British Army honors.
 Born: Gaston Schoukens, Belgian film director who made numerous comedies, melodramas and documentaries, including the first Belgian sound film, La famille Kelpkens, and the popular 1950 comedy Un Soir de Joie, as Felix Bell in Brussels (d. 1961)

Wednesday, February 6, 1901
 In China, a list of 12 former Chinese government officials was made public by the ministers from the Eight-Nation Alliance, with the demand that nine of them be executed for crimes committed during the Boxer Rebellion of the year before. Three were, reportedly, already dead; Hau Chung Yu and Kih Siu had been taken prisoner by Japan, which planned to put them to death; and China had already agreed to put Yu Hsien and Prince Chuang to death. No decision had been made by China concerning Chao Hsu Kiao and Ying Lien. China had earlier noted that it would be impossible to kill General Tung Fu Siang, who was very popular among Muslims and western Chinese, and it was expected that Prince Tuan and Duke Lan would banished.
 A vote of no confidence brought down the government of Italy. Prime Minister Giuseppe Saracco and his cabinet resigned the next day.
 Second Boer War: The Boers succeeded in cutting off the Delagoa Bay Railroad at a point 30 miles from the Portuguese West Africa capital, Lourenço Marques (now Maputo, Angola).
 The Sacred Fount, a novel by Henry James, was first published. Charles Scribner's Sons of New York City initially printed 3,000 copies, and on February 15, Methuen & Company would print 3,500 copies in London.
 General Order Number 9 was issued by United States Secretary of War Elihu Root as one of his first acts of business under the authority of the new Army Reorganization Act. The traditional practice of "permanent" appointments to staff departments was eliminated, and required that staff officers to be rotated out after four years so that others could gain experience.
 Albert Henry Munsell applied for the patent for his new invention, the Lumenometer, which allowed the most accurate measurements at that time of measuring the hue, light and chroma of individual colors. The device, which would receive U.S. Patent No. 686,827 on November 19, would lead to his development of the Munsell color system.
 Robert Borden was elected as Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons of Canada by his fellow Conservative Party parliament members. In 1911, the Conservative Party would win control of the government, and Borden would become Prime Minister of Canada.
 Stagecoach robber Joe Boot earned a place in Western lore by becoming one of the few inmates of the infamous Yuma Territorial Prison to successfully escape.  Given a 30-year sentence on November 11, 1899, Boot gained the trust of the prison staff and was allowed the job of driving a horse-drawn wagon to deliver food to prisoners working outside the prison. After making his usual departure through the prison gates for his delivery, Boot kept going, and would never be recaptured.

 Thomas E. Fraser, American naval officer, led the attack of four destroyers against a Japanese force in a battle off Savo Island and went down with his ship, the destroyer USS Walke, in Stafford Springs, Connecticut (d. 1944) The destroyer USS Thomas E. Fraser would be named in his honor.

Thursday, February 7, 1901
 German immunologist Paul Uhlenhuth published his paper A Method for Investigation of Different Types of Blood, Especially for the Differential Diagnosis of Human Blood. In an understatement about the significance of his findings, Uhlenhuth commented as an aside, "It is noteworthy... that, after drying blood samples from men, horses and cattle on a board for four weeks and dissolving them in physiological NaCl solution, I was able to identify the human blood at once using my serum— a fact that should be of particular importance for forensic medicine." As an author would note more than a century later, "With these few words, Uhlenhuth announced the world that he had found the Holy Grail of serology: a definitive test for the presence of human blood."
 Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands was married to Prince Henry, with a civil ceremony at 11:00 a.m. at The Hague, and a religious ceremony at noon.
 American sailors from the USS Lancaster were attacked and beaten by a mob after they went ashore at the city of La Guaira in Venezuela.
 Representatives of the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations in Oklahoma signed a draft of a proposed agreement with the United States Department of the Interior for division of their tribal lands in Indian Territory, but the initial plan would be rejected by the United States Congress. A binding agreement, as supplemented, would pass into law on July 1, 1902.
 Born: Alison Marjorie Ashby, Australian botanist and artist, in North Adelaide, Australia (d. 1987)
 Died: Benjamin Edward Woolf, 64, British-American violinist, composer, and playwright, best known for the operas The Mighty Dollar and Westward Ho (b. 1836)

Friday, February 8, 1901
 In Saint Petersburg, the Russian Foreign Ministry received the Chinese ambassador and presented him with Russia's conditions for withdrawal of troops from Manchuria; a historian would note later, "this document was really an ultimatum that applied to all of Manchuria... Its provisions were largely unacceptable to China and its purport totally unacceptable to Japan.
 Indiana University began its college basketball program, losing 20–17 to Butler University at Irvington, Indiana (later annexed to Indianapolis). Ernest Strange was the high scorer for the Hoosiers in the first game, with nine points, including all seven of Indiana's free throws.
 Born:
 Virginius Dabney, American journalist, recipient of the Pulitzer Prize, editor of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, in Charlottesville, Virginia (d. 1995)
 Gustav Dahrendorf, German politician, member of parliament who would be arrested and charged with treason after being suspected of involvement in the 1944 assassination plot against Adolf Hitler, in Hamburg. Remarkably, Dahrendorf would be given a 7-year prison sentence rather than being executed and be released after the German surrender (d. 1954).

Saturday, February 9, 1901
 United States Secretary of War Elihu Root notified Leonard Wood, the American Governor-General of Cuba, of five points that needed to go into the Constitution that Cuba was to adopt before independence could be granted. All of the points — American approval of Cuban treaties, limitations on Cuba's ability to borrow money, the American right of intervention to maintain a stable government, continuation of laws implemented by the American occupational government, and permission to establish naval bases in Cuba — meant that Cuba would function as an American protectorate rather than a fully independent nation.
 Taking inspiration from the crusade of Carrie Nation, an estimated 1,000 men and women in Holton, Kansas (out of a population of 3,082 that included children), assembled at local Methodist Church and then marched to the Hicks Saloon and destroyed its contents. According to reporters, "the gutters were deluged with a mixture of beer, whisky, and the usual poisonous decoctions dealt out by the Kansas jointists"  and then removed the bar fixtures, furniture, glassware, and a large mirror and destroyed them with sledgehammers. Thomas Balding and John Bimrod, two other proprietors, had removed their liquors earlier in anticipation of a raid, pledged that they would ship everything out of town by Monday, "and each gave his oath never to sell another drop of liquor in Holton".

 Excavating the ruins of the Achaemenid Empire acropolis, at the city of the ancient city of Susa in Iran, French archaeologist Jacques de Morgan discovered a tomb that had been unopened for 2200 years. The skeleton inside was "strewn about the head and neck" with "a mass of finely-wrought and artistic gems and jewels". Most of these would later end up in the Louvre, and while there were no clues to identify the person in the tomb, coins inside the bronze sarcophagus dated from as late as 332 BC, shortly before the end of the Achaemenid era.

 The state of Delaware ratified the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, more than 30 years after they had taken effect. J. Frank Allee, a state Senator who would later be selected to represent Delaware in the United States Senate, introduced the legislation after discovering that his state had never ratified the three amendments. The Senate voted its approval on January 30, and the House followed on January 31. Despite Senator Alee's belief that Delaware was alone still having failed to ratify the three post-American Civil War amendments, Kentucky would not formally approve the 13th, 14th and 15th until 1976. Mississippi's approval of the 13th (abolishing slavery) would not happen until 1995, and Tennessee's endorsement of the 15th (giving all races the right to vote) would not be remedied until 1997.

 King Edward opened his first Parliament of the United Kingdom, appearing in person before both houses. The King insulted twelve million of his Roman Catholic subjects when he uttered the exact words of the Accession Declaration (a requirement for a new monarch's first opening of Parliament) for the first time since 1837, as required by the Act of Settlement. The words from 200 years earlier required the monarch to declare that "I do believe that... the invocation or adoration of the Virgin Mary or any other Saint, and the Sacrifice of the Mass, as they are now used in the Church of Rome, are superstitious and idolatrous". Irish M.P. John Redmond, himself a Roman Catholic, said afterward that the oath was "wantonly insulting" and warned that "as long as ... His Majesty swears that Roman Catholics are idolatrous, I, for one, will oppose His Majesty's salary." Redmond's fellow Irish members of the House of Commons voted against the King on civil matters afterward. The King subsequently made known his "disgust" with the wording and requested the government to revise the Declaration before any future monarch had to open Parliament, a change that would come about in the Accession Declaration Act on August 3, 1910, prior to the opening of Parliament by King George V.

 At about 11:00 in the morning, 69 coal miners at the Wellington Colliery Company, near Cumberland, British Columbia, were killed in an explosion. More than half of the fatalities (37 Chinese and nine Japanese) were Asian, and the other 27 were white. In the aftermath, the white miners who lived at nearby Nanaimo blamed the Chinese workers, and signed petitions protesting that the foreign-born workers were "dangerously incompetent" and demanded that all employees take a test to show their proficiency in either English or French. Soon afterward, calls were made for excluding all Asian immigrants from British Columbia, and James H. Hawthornthwaite would win a by-election to the provincial legislature to champion the anti-Asian cause.
 The Right-of-Way Act was signed into law by U.S. President William McKinley and permitted the United States Secretary of the Interior to grant rights of way through any federally owned-land, including the Indian reservations and the four national parks then in existence (Yellowstone, Sequoia, Yosemite, and Mount Rainier), the sole standard being whether it was "incompatible with the public interest". A conservationist would write later, "The act was in most respects perfectly tailored for looters of the parks, for it authorized the Secretary to grant rights of way... for practically any sort of business that might want a right of way."

 At Saint Petersburg, Russian Foreign Minister Vladimir Lamsdorf presented a revised treaty proposal to China's Ambassador to the Russian Empire, Prince Yang-ju. Under the 12-article treaty, China would retain ownership of Manchuria, but Russian troops would be allowed to occupy the territory to guard the railways there, and China would be forbidden from granting rail or mining privileges to anyone without Russian consent. The Chinese then "decided to try their hand at balance-of-power politics", leaking various versions of the treaties to the Russian Empire's rivals, the Japanese and British Empires.

There were enough interested legislators to fill six passenger cars on a specially chartered train. The plan envisioned by a committee was for Alabama to pay two million dollars to Florida to purchase Calhoun, Escambia, Holmes, Jackson, Santa Rosa, Walton and Washington Counties "if the rest of Florida and the Congress of the United States are willing, and if Governor Sanford of Alabama endorses the project, as do a majority of the Alabama legislators".

 Four days after becoming a member of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom future Prime Minister Winston Churchill gave his maiden speech, a rebuttal to an address given by another future Prime Minister, David Lloyd George. At 10:30 when Lloyd George had finished an eloquent speech decrying the carnage against the Boers during the Second Boer War, Churchill responded that British policy should be "to make it easy and honourable for the Boers to surrender, and painful and perilous for them to continue in the field." Churchill would say later that "It was a terrible, thrilling yet delicious experience".

 Thomas O'Donnell, an Irish Nationalist member of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom, stunned his fellow members of parliament when he rose to speak, and then started to address the group in the Irish language. A representative for the constituency of West Kerry, began by saying, in Irish, "As an Irishman from an Irish-speaking constituency, a member of a nation which still preserves a language of its own and is still striving bravely for freedom..." before he was interrupted by the House Speaker, William Gully, who recognized what O'Donnell was doing. As O'Donnell's fellow Irish MPs applauded, Gully called for order and informed him that he was "not entitled to address the Commons in a language which they did not understand".  O'Donnell then asked the Speaker, in Irish, "Is it not true that Irish is my native language, the language of my ancestors, the language of my country?" John Redmond then pointed out that there was "no written or unwritten rule against a member using the language which is most familiar to him", and Gully replied that there was no precedent for a member of Commons to give a speech in anything but English, and that "Not in the one hundred years of union has any Irishman tried to speak in Irish in this House until now." The next day, The Times of London commented that "Public gratitude is due to one ingenious Irish gentleman— Mr. Thomas O'Donnell, M.P., for West Kerry, for relaxing the severity of the Parliamentary situation last night" during a bitter debate over the Second Boer War.

 Scottish clergyman and amateur astronomer Thomas David Anderson became the first person to notice the nova GK Persei. By February 23, it was the brightest star in the sky, reaching zero magnitude, but faded to 4th magnitude by March 15, and to a 7 by year's end. Photographs taken from Harvard University of the Perseus constellation on February 19 did not show GK Persei among stars as dim as the 11th magnitude, indicating that its explosion had been very rapid, increasing by at least eight magnitudes within 48 hours. Later identified as being 1,533 light years from Earth, GK Persei had apparently exploded in the year 367 AD.

 By a margin of 26 to 37, the United States Senate defeated a measure that would have provided funds for post offices to create pneumatic tube delivery systems in American cities. The vote was on a proposed amendment to the post office appropriation bill that would have budgeted $500,000 toward the technology. Besides stopping the expansion of the service, the vote also meant that the pneumatic tube systems operating in New York City, Brooklyn, Boston and Philadelphia would halt at the end of the fiscal year on June 30.

 A breakthrough in food preservation was demonstrated by a Dr. Von Olden in Copenhagen, who showed potential investors proof that he had sealed a container of butter a year earlier, in front of a notary public, and then opened it in front of dairymen, who found it to be untainted. News of the Von Olden Process would soon go outside of Denmark, and the Associated Press would cable the report to American readers on March 25. Soon afterward, Dr. Von Olden was exposed as a con man whose real name was Christianson; after the notary had certified that the container had been sealed in his presence "on February 22, 1901", Christianson carefully altered the 1901 to "1900".
 The City of Rio de Janeiro, a passenger liner operated by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, struck a reef as it was entering San Francisco Bay on its way through a dense fog as it was arriving from Honolulu, and sank within 20 minutes. Of the 208 people on board, 131 drowned. The sinking happened so quickly that lifeboats that could not be lowered in time went down with the ship, along with the people inside the boats. Other people jumped overboard as the ship steamer went down and were pulled down by the suction of the sinking vessel.

 Professional boxers Jack Johnson and Joe Choynski fought a bout inside Harmony Hall in Galveston, Texas, and were both arrested after Choynski knocked out Johnson in the third round, for violating the state law against fighting for professional gain. The arrest would prove to be a big break for Johnson, an African-American rookie; he and Choynski, a white 33-year old boxer described as "the first Jewish American athlete to rise to international repute", shared a jail cell for the next 24 days, during which "Choynski taught Johnson the defensive style that he would perfect during his career". The two men were freed after a grand jury declined to indict them, and Johnson would go on to become the world heavyweight boxing champion.

 National League owners approved a change in the hit by pitch rule, and as an author would note later, "Baseball's intelligentsia had not thought this one through". Passed in order to stop batters from stepping in to the path of a ball in order to take a base, the new rule provided that a blow to the body would be called as a ball. Theoretically, a pitcher could deliberately hit a batter four times before the batter could take a base; the owners reversed themselves on the morning of the opening day of the season. One rule change, which would still be in place more than a century later, was to provide that "the first and second foul balls hit by the batsman, unless two strikes have already been called against him, shall henceforth be counted as strikes".
 At the same meeting in New York City, the National League dropped its sponsorship for a planned American Association minor league with teams in six of the eight American League locations and waited until the end of the day to inform league organizers Charles Power and W. H. Watkins of their decision. By the two men did get to make their presentation for the AA, "most of its members had left for home". However, the owners of the Indianapolis; Louisville, Kentucky; and Milwaukee franchises would organize a new American Association in 1902 with teams in the Midwest, and it would quickly become one of the strongest of the minor leagues, with the same eight teams for more than 50 years.

 At 10:00 in the morning, peace negotiations began between Lord Kitchener and the Boers' General Louis Botha at Middelburg, located within a British-occupied section of the Boers' South African Republic. General Botha's initial condition, the continued independence of the South Africa and the Orange Free State under Boer rule, was rejected immediately, and Botha's second peace proposal had ten conditions, including Afrikaans and English being the official language, that British insistence for black African voting rights be deferred, that the Dutch Church retain its property, that the United Kingdom assume the Boer republic's war debts, an amnesty for everyone and a release of prisoners, financial aid for farmers whose land was ruined by the British invasion, and that the Boers be allowed to retain rifles for protection from the black African natives. After the talks failed, the Second Boer War continued and Kitchener continued the conquest of the Boers, including burning farms and placing prisoners of war into concentration camps.
 Major P. B. Molesworth, a British astronomer and member of the Royal Engineers first observed the South Tropical Disturbance on the same latitude as the Great Red Spot on the planet Jupiter, but with a shorter rotation period that periodically brought the two in conjunction. Molesworth, who had been born in the island colony of British Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), had made the discovery from the telescope at the Trincomalee observatory; the disturbance on Jupiter would continue for more than 38 years, and would last be observed in 1939.
 The United States Congress rejected the proposed agreement that had been signed by the United States Department of the Interior with the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations, and negotiations had to begin again.
