St Anne's Roman Catholic Church is a heritage-listed Roman Catholic school and church building located at St Annes Square, Strathfield South in the Municipality of Strathfield local government area in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It was built from 1859 to 1864. It is also known as St. Anne's Roman Catholic Church (former) and St Anne's Catholic Church. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. History The church is significant primarily because of its strong associations with the important figure archpriest John Joseph Therry (1790–1864), co-founder of the Roman Catholic Church in Australia; champion of the rights of Irish immigrants and convicts; and patron of several church building projects in New South Wales and Tasmania. The building derives considerable significance from its location in a village square conceived by Therry in 1837, which, although never fully realised, retains a townscape significance value not found elsewhere in New South Wales. The modest character of the building reflects the needs and requirements of the time and the restrictions imposed by finances and the use of local building materials and techniques. The church stands in the village square, conceived by Archpriest John Joseph Therry in 1837, the original foundation stone laid on 2 July 1841. The church was built between 1859–64 and the subdivision streets were named for prominent ecclesiastics of the time. Description Located in the north east corner of the square (the centre being subject to clay deposits) it is typical of an Irish village church with additions, such as the vestry with fireplace. Built of solid brick (cement rendered in 1952) with sandstone footing course. Dressed sills and cappings to the buttresses. The brick interior is painted to the dado level. The sanctuary is plastered with interesting stencil work. The rest of the square is now occupied by the new church, primary school and car park. The Church was cement rendered in 1952. Heritage listing St Anne's Roman Catholic Church was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

year's lucky money" (壓歲錢, yā suì qián). Zhengde Tongbao charms commonly feature the image of a dragon and a fenghuang on their reverses, when a Chinese dragon and fenghuang are shown together they often symbolise the union of a man and a woman meaning that these Zhengde Tongbao charms were used as Chinese marriage charms. Although Gary Ashkenazy claims that the dragon and fenghuang symbolises matrimony, it is argued by Edgar J. Mandel in his book Metal Charms and Amulets of China that the dragon and fenghuang actually represent the power of the imperial Chinese government where the dragon represents the Emperor and the fenghuang the Empress. Another variant of the Zhengde Tongbao has two dragons on its reverse chasing after the wish-granting pearl. Another variant of the Zhengde Tongbao charm only contains the Hanzi character wén (文) on its reverse which is usually used as a measure word for counting cash coins but could also mean "obverse". These coins were also exclusively used as charms and amulets and were not meant for circulation. Edgar J.Mandel's book Metal Charms and Amulets of China lists 41 variants of the Zhengde Tongbao charm. See also Ming dynasty coinage References Sources Edgar J.Mandel.

Gothic vaults of the cellars. It was one of the most popular clubs in Bydgoszcz, in the 1970s and 1980s, especially frequented by bohemian artists, flourishing with various musical forms: jazz, baroque, opera, sung poetry, piano recitals. The club closed in 1996. The present shape of the building originates from a 1901 reconstruction. The frontage giving on the Old Market is peculiarly decorated, with a narrow bay window flouncing out the elevation, capped with plastered bat-shaped gargoyles supporting a tiny balcony. The jagged gable, unique on the square, draws attention. Emil Gamm House at 16 – 3 Zaułek street 1860 Registered on Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship Heritage List (Nr.A/347/1), 5 January 1993 Neo-Renaissance It has been the property of the Gamm family from the 1850s to the late 1920s. Emil Gamm was the founder of a soap manufactory, registered at then Markt Platz 79: he commissioned the reconstruction of the old building in 1860. Main eye-catcher of the facade is a middle avant-corps, teeming with symbols and motifs. There, two allegorical figures of Fortune and Justice stand on pedestal in their niches, they are flanked by pilastered arched windows bearing figurative ornaments in cartouches. The avant-corps is topped by an eagle spreading wings. Eberle House at 18 – 5 Zaułek street 1898 Eclecticism The house has been reconstructed under the direction of Gustav Eberle, who took over the delicatessen business from his relative Adolf. At the beginning of the 20th century, the establishment transformed to a wine cellar and bar. In 1991, it housed the local Amateur's Folk Art Gallery (), which moved in 2000 to Kościelecki Square 6. The frontage displays bossage motifs on the ground floor and a heavy balcony girdled by a balustrade. Compliant to eclectic precepts, the top level is highlighted by an empty niche, high relief pilasters and crowned by ornaments (corbels, various pediments and a finial bearing the date of the building)Siuchniński's and Stobiecki's Department Store at 20 – 7 Zaułek street 1911 Art Nouveau The initial building had Baroque features. In 1911, Mieczysław Siuchniński and Roman Stobiecki moved there from their initial shop at 3 New Market square. To that end, they had the old house razed and replaced by the actual edifice, on a design by Otto Müller. It was the largest department store in Bydgoszcz at that time and the only one where all the staff was Polish. Other retailing stores at the |

Long Scraggy Peak is a mountain in Jefferson County, Colorado. A prominent peak, it is characterized by its elongated, craggy ridge, for which it is named. The mountain is located within the Pike National Forest near the confluence of the North Fork South Platte River and the South Platte River. The peak, elevation , is popular among mountain climbers, day hikers, and rock climbers, especially in winter, as the peak's relatively low elevation means there's often less snow than on higher peaks. Geology The peak is made up of Pikes Peak granite. References Mountains of Jefferson County, Colorado North American 2000 m summits |
McKay Ridge is a ridge located in Whatcom County in Washington state. It is part of the Okanogan Range which is a sub-range of the North Cascades. It's situated north of the North Cascades Highway on land administered by the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest. The nearest higher peak is Majestic Mountain, to the northeast. Precipitation runoff from the ridge drains into Ross Lake via tributaries of the Skagit River. Climate McKay Ridge is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel northeast toward the Cascade Mountains. As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift). As a result, the west side of the North Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in high avalanche danger. Geology The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks and ridges and deep glacial valleys. Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences. These climate differences lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area. The history of the formation of the Cascade Mountains dates back millions of years ago to the late Eocene Epoch. With the North American Plate overriding the Pacific Plate, episodes of volcanic igneous activity persisted. In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago. During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris. The "U"-shaped cross section of the river valleys are a result of recent glaciation. Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

Uggool Beach () is a large beach in County Mayo, on the west coast of Ireland, located south of the town of Louisburgh. It is situated at the mouth of Killlary Harbour to its south, with Silver Strand to its north, Mweelrea mountain to its east and the Atlantic ocean to its west. Uggool Beach is bordered by the townlands of Uggool, Doovilra and Mweelin. The Bunanakee River flows across Uggool Beach. The tidal Dooneen Island is on the southern edge of the beach. Controversy Uggool Beach is the subject of one of Ireland’s "longest running disputes over a right of way". In 1989, access to Uggool Beach was "effectively closed" by the erection of fencing. This action gave rise to public protests and altercations near Uggool Beach in subsequent years. In 1999, the Ombudsman upheld a complaint and ordered Mayo County Council to act to restore public access to Uggool Beach. In the Office of the Ombudsman Annual Report 1999, the Ombudsman held at page 31 that "The fencing is of such an extensive nature, continuing at certain points on to the foreshore and beach, that it is difficult to see it solely as a means of protection of agricultural land. The conclusion that the fencing was intended to prevent access to the beach is unavoidable - nor did the Council dispute this conclusion." In 2001, The Irish Times uncovered correspondence between Mayo County Council and the Ombudsman stating that the council "has decided to acquire access [to Uggool Beach] for the public by means of a Compulsory Purchase Order". In September 2013, at a sitting of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Public Service Oversight and Petitions, Ombudsman Emily O’Reilly described the issue as "one of the most intractable issues we ever dealt with". Effective public access to Uggool Beach has not been restored to-date. References Beaches of the Republic of Ireland |

in 1969, where she learned about abortions and in 1970, helped refer women to Harvey Karman's illegal abortion clinic. The Karman cannula was of particular interest to Downer, as it did not require cervical dilation, curettage, or powerful vacuum suction. Karman let them observe several abortions and an IUD insertion, during which Downer saw a woman's cervix for the first time and was "amazed" at how close and accessible it was. This inspired her interest in performing abortions and to take a speculum home to perform a cervical examination on herself. She and other women became interested in starting their own clinic after growing displeased with the male abortion providers’ behavior towards women. On April 7th, 1971, a group of women (including Downer) interested in starting their own abortion clinic met at Everywoman's Bookstore in Venice, California. Downer showed them what Karman used to perform abortions, but the women were afraid, and she knew that "until [she] demystified this for them, they were going to keep on thinking that abortion was this thing that you mostly would die of." Downer then laid down on a table in the room and performed her own cervical examination in front of all the women, who were initially surprised but then crowded around her, observing her cervix. A few women wanted to see their own cervix's as well, so they did self-exams on the table after Downer. Lorraine Rothman also attended the meeting at the bookstore and she found Karman's device promising, but unsafe. She designed a new type of manual vacuum aspiration device, which she patented as the Del-Em, and called the process menstrual extraction (ME). ME made its debut at the National Organization for Women conference in Santa Monica, California in August 1971. To Rothman and Downer's dismay, the organizers of the conference were "so appalled that they refused to give the women exhibit space." Instead, Downer and Rothman hung flyers around the conference, announcing a demonstration in their hotel room. The attendees were given a plastic speculum to begin their education. From the extensive mailing list collected during these demonstrations, Downer and Rothman began a national tour, going to 23 cities in the United States to teach women the new technique. This effectively began the movement of women's health self-help groups/clinics. 1974–1980 National Women's Health Network In 1974, Belita Cowan, Barbara Seaman, Phyllis Chesler, Mary Howell, and Alice Wolfson established the |

convict labour be used to lessen construction costs. Mitchell's plan also included a breakwater that extended in a straight line from Wollongong Headland. There is no evidence that this breakwater was started. In 1837, Governor Bourke instructed the Colonial Engineer Captain George Barney of the Royal Engineers to design and oversee the construction of a harbour at Wollongong. Barney's design was for a basin 100 foot long, 35 feet wide and 8 feet deep at low tide with a stone pier that incorporated a slipway for the Pilot Boat on the northern side at the sheltered end of Boat Harbour. The excavation was to be carried out by drilling and blasting behind a cofferdam. After construction commenced in 1837, it was reported in 1841 that the size of the basin was to be increased to 300 feet long and 150 feet wide. The work was carried out by up to 300 convicts. Mooring chains were laid across the bay to Brighton Beach in 1839 to provide safe anchorage for vessels up to 300 tons during the construction of the Basin. Dimension sandstonewas prepared from the excavated rock and was used to construct the vertical seawalls, including the quay wall at the eastern end of Brighton Beach and the pier and Pier Head that formed the northern side or breakwater (structure) of this first basin. The two basal courses of the sea walls are made of dressed quartz sandstone blocks and the upper portions of the seawalls are constructed from less durable sandstone stone blocks. The bases of the sea walls are keyed into the parent rock and the blocks of stone were laid on a thin lime mortar bed and joints. Non-selected rubble was compacted behind the newly constructed walls and in the case of the Central Pier it was founded in part on laid dimension stone. The surplus fill was used to reclaim the area behind the quay wall and east of the Central Pier. Final adjustments to the facing walls were made using a diving bell that had been brought from England to be used in the construction of the semi-circular quay in Sydney Harbour. Construction of the basin was completed on 25 November 1844 at a cost of £3,465 and it could accommodate coasting vessels from 5 to 20 tons. However, because of incomplete removal of the cofferdams, the entrance depth at low water was only 5 |

fit for purpose", as well as a summary of some criticisms of the definition. Among the committee's recommendations were "that the IHRA definition, with our additional caveats, should be formally adopted by the UK Government, law enforcement agencies and all political parties, to assist them in determining whether or not an incident or discourse can be regarded as antisemitic." The caveats were two additional clarifications designed to protect freedom of speech in discussion of Israel/Palestine: It is not antisemitic to criticise the Government of Israel, without additional evidence to suggest antisemitic intent. It is not antisemitic to hold the Israeli Government to the same standards as other liberal democracies, or to take a particular interest in the Israeli Government's policies or actions, without additional evidence to suggest antisemitic intent. In December 2016, the UK government responded that it had agreed to adopt the IHRA definition, but that the caveats were unnecessary given the definition's clause "criticism of Israel similar to that levelled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic" is sufficient to ensure freedom of speech. The government also noted that the police already used a previous version of the definition (the EUMC version) and that it "is a useful tool for criminal justice agencies and other public bodies to use to understand how anti-Semitism manifests itself in the 21st century". Later that month, the government announced it would formally adopt the definition. Subsequently, the definition has been adopted by some 120 UK councils and by the London Assembly and the Mayor of London. In July 2018, an Early Day Motion was proposed by Labour Party MP Luciana Berger and signed by 39 mainly Labour MPs welcomed the UK's formal adoption of the definition and noted that the Welsh and Scottish Governments, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, London Assembly, and over 120 local councils had formally adopted the definition. It has also been adopted by religious and educational institutions such as the Church of Scotland and King's College London. However, in 2017 a resolution to the University and College Union called for the union to formally reject the definition. In August 2019, Tower Hamlets London Borough Council refused to host the fifth annual charity bike ride event in aid of Palestinian children in Gaza called BigRide4Palestine due to concerns that criticism of Israel would violate the IHRA working definition of antisemitism.

The Bradford Era is a newspaper published Monday - Saturday serving McKean county in Pennsylvania. The American Newspapers Representatives database lists the Bradford Era's daily paid circulation as 13,000 and its unpaid circulation as 2,500. Jim Eckstrom is the Executive Group Editor for the paper. It is owned by Community Media Group, Inc. History The Bradford Era was founded by Col. J.K. Haffey in 1875 as the Bradford Daily Era. By 1877 it was a four-page, 36 column paper. In 1879 the Bradford Era was consolidated with the Daily Breeze, a local paper that had been in publication for only a year. Many newspapers had preceded it in the county, but it was Bradford's 2nd newspaper, and it sought to distinguish itself as an independent alternative, under the motto, "We do not run the paper for glory or notoriety; that we could have obtained by becoming the president of a savings bank, pocketing the depositors' money, then going to State prison." The Bradford Era's early reporting focused on the local oil industry. It initially mounted a defense of Equitable Oil against Standard Oil, and noted Equitable Oil's achievements even though Standard Oil was trying to squash all local competition. Other local papers such as the Blaze took even more extreme stand, the Blaze once printing in blood-red ink to protest Standard Oil. But by the early 1880s, the Bradford Era was owned and operated by businessmen with interests in Standard Oil and the Era became a mouthpiece for the company. In 1887, the Era Publishing Company was incorporated as a company and Patrick C. Boyle was the editor. Boyle and others used the paper to advocate against legislation, like the Billingsley Bill, which sought to regulate the oil industry. In addition, numerous editors for papers around the area were paid "pensions" for supporting Standard Oil interests in their printings. Boyle used the paper to attack people who opposed the monopoly of Standard Oil, such as Senator Lewis Emery . Emery grew so tired of the attacks that he had Boyle arrested for libel; Standard Oil paid to have him released from jail and to continue his slander campaign. Boyle was sent to Ohio in 1889 and put in charge of the Toledo Commercial. The Bradford Era was mentioned in testimony in United States v. Standard Oil, in which the government sued the company under the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890; |
Oliver K. Kelley (a.k.a. O.K. Kelley, born Olavi Koskenhovi; 28 June 1904 – 28 March 1987) was an engineer involved in developing the automatic transmission at the General Motors Corporation in the 1940s.

The Uranium One controversy involves various theories promoted by conservative media, politicians, and commentators that characterized the sale of the uranium mining company Uranium One to the Russian state-owned corporation Rosatom as a $145 million bribery scandal involving Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation. No evidence of wrongdoing was ever found. Since the 2015 publication of the book Clinton Cash by Breitbart News editor and Steve Bannon collaborator Peter Schweizer, as well as a 2015 New York Times article that used some of Schweizer's raw research, allegations of a bribery scheme involving Hillary Clinton, the Clinton Foundation and the 2010 sale of Uranium One persisted, primarily in conservative media. Fox News host Sean Hannity characterized it as "the biggest scandal — or, at least, one of them — in American history," while his frequent guest and former Trump advisor Seb Gorka equated it with treason worthy of a death sentence. Despite four years of discussion and analysis of the matter—as well as an FBI investigation—no evidence of any quid pro quo or other wrong-doing surfaced. Numerous Republican politicians and pundits, including President Donald Trump, insisted that the Clinton-Uranium One story was the "real" Russian scandal, rather than the matters for which the Trump administration was investigated. The Washington Post reported in January 2020 that an additional Justice Department investigation into the matter, initiated after Donald Trump took office in 2017, was winding down after finding nothing worth pursuing. Timeline of events 2005: $145 million alleged bribes to Clinton Foundation Frank Giustra donated $31.3 million to the Clinton Foundation, to be followed in 2007 with a pledge of at least $100 million. These amounts constituted the bulk of the $145 million in supposed bribes paid to the Clinton Foundation. 2007: Uranium One acquired UrAsia Energy On April 20, 2007, Uranium One, a Canadian mining company with headquarters in Toronto, acquired UrAsia Energy, a Canadian firm with headquarters in Vancouver, from Frank Giustra, who then resigned from the UrAsia Energy Board of Directors. Having severed ties with UrAsia Energy and Uranium One in 2007, Giustra had no evident beneficial interest in the subsequent sale of Uranium One to Rosatom in 2010. UrAsia has interests in rich uranium operations in Kazakhstan, and UrAsia Energy's acquisition of its Kazakhstan uranium interests from Kazatomprom followed a trip to Almaty in 2005 by Giustra and former U.S. President Bill Clinton where they met with Nursultan Nazarbayev, |
center was set up in Siwa. Multiple ships and helicopters were dispatched to search survivors and victims. The Indonesian Armed Forces stated that they would participate in the rescue operation. On 06:00 local time, the crew of MV Marina Express 3 managed to rescue 20 survivors. Two bodies were also recovered. Four survivors were later found by a local fisherman nearby. On 09:00 local time, a group of 14 survivors were rescued while a body was retrieved from the sea. The search and rescue operation was hampered by bad weather. During the operation, a search and rescue ship was damaged by rough waves. On 21 December, Indonesian Search and Rescue Agency shifted the search area to the waters in North Kolaka and Kolaka, as the sea current would likely drift the passengers to the area. Most survivors were found in the area. The head of the Indonesian National Search and Rescue Agency, Air Marshal (Ret.) Felicianus Henry Bambang Sulistyo, stated that he would observe the rescue effort and would visit the survivors and the relatives of the victims in the hospital. One survivor was found and was immediately evacuated to Djafar Harun Hospital. In the evening, authorities announced that three bodies, including one child and one infant, had been recovered and 70 people were still missing. On 22 December, the search area was widened to Palopo. At least 783 search and rescue personnel were dispatched. The captain of the ferry was found to have survived the sinking. He claimed that initially, he was with another five people. However, they were later separated due to the strong waves. Another survivor was found on flotsam. The rescue operation was called off due to high waves. Authorities announced that four bodies had been recovered. On 23 December, local fishermen recovered seven bodies in Bulu Puloe. Another nine bodies were recovered by search and rescue personnel. On 24 December, 36 bodies were found. From 25 – 26 December, only one victim was recovered. Three victims were transported to Makassar for further identification. Authorities stated that 12 were still missing. The search and rescue effort was extended for three days. On 29 December 2015, the search and rescue operation was officially ended. 45 survivors were rescued, 65 bodies were recovered, and 12 people were never found. Passengers and crews There were conflicting reports on the actual number of passengers and crews who boarded the ferry. |
Bahar Banu Begum (; 9 October 1590 - 8 September 1653), meaning "The Blooming Lady", was a Mughal princess, the daughter of Mughal emperor Jahangir. Birth Bahar Banu Begum was born on 9 October 1590, during the reign of her grandfather Emperor Akbar. Her mother was Karamsi, the daughter of Raja Keshav Das of the Rathore family. On the same day, Jagat Gosain, the daughter of Udai Singh of Marwar, gave birth to another daughter named Begum Sultan Begum. She was the seventh child and fifth daughter born to her father, but the only girl child of her mother. Marriage In 1625, Prince Tahmuras Mirza, the eldest son of Prince Daniyal Mirza, and the grandson of Akbar, paid homage at the court. Prior to this his younger brother Prince Hushang Mirza also attained the honour of paying homage. In order to honour them, Jahangir married Bahar Banu to Tahmuras, and Hoshmand Banu Begum, the daughter of Prince Khusrau Mirza, to Hoshang. After the death of her father Jahangir on 28 October 1627, her youngest brother Prince Shahryar Mirza proclaimed himself the emperor. However, her nephew Dawar Bakhsh, the son of Khusrau Mirza, ascended the throne at Lahore. Shah Jahan ascended the throne on 19 January 1628, and on 23 January, he ordered the execution of Shahryar, Bahar Banu Begum's husband Tahmuras Mirza and his brother Hoshang Mirza, and Khusrau Mirza's sons Dawar Bakhsh, and Garshasp Mirza. Death Bahar Banu Begum died at Agra on 8 September 1653 at the age of sixty-two, and was buried in the tomb of Mariam-uz-zamani, her grandmother by Shah Jahan.

the NSW Government Hydrographer at the start of the twentieth century. Sommerville, or the Hut was purchased by steamboat proprietor (he bought the Parramatta Steamship Co. in 1873, running 20 steamers during the years of his ownership (1875-9), was three-time Mayor of Hunters Hill, Sydney City Councillor and member of the NSW Legislative Assembly)) Charles Jeanneret, in 1857 and demolished in the 1950s. Jeanneret purchased the adjacent Wybalena estate and operated a private ferry service and a pleasure grounds in the next bay. He built a series of substantial dwellings for his family members and has left a legacy of at least 16 stone houses in Hunters Hill. The third cottage, was purchased by the Bellinghams, then the Deputy Surveyor of NSW, Robert Desmond Fitzgerald, and subsequently by the French consul who renamed it Croissy. Remnants of the garden established by Fitzgerald, whose passion was orchids, are thought to survive, the house does not, it was demolished in the 1960s. Its name is recorded in Croissy Avenue. Irving et al. note that Croissy and The Chalet were almost identical. The four houses were not named initially. The Chalet changed hands three times until it was purchased by William Jack and named "The Bungalow" in 1867. It was subsequently occupied by the City Architect William Sapsford. William Herbert Manning, a barrister purchased the house and it was renamed Yerton. He subdivided the land, creating three waterfront lots. The former driveway of The Chalet became Yerton Avenue. Three of the later names of Bordier's prefabricated houses are recorded in the street layout: Yerton Avenue, Croissy Avenue and Muirbank Avenue. The Chalet was purchased by Robert Black, a specialist in Tropical Diseases, and his wife, the artist Nora Heysen, in 1954. Heysen had first met Robert Black in New Guinea during World War II whilst serving as the official war artist. The house may have been selected for its Germanic detailing. From an interview in 1965 Nora Heysen said "Now I think I've found my own environment. The house itself is about 120 years old, in a very wandering wilderness of a garden where I can grow my own flowers for painting, and the atmosphere is peaceful and very conducive to my work." The couple separated in 1972, with Nora retaining the house in Hunters Hill. Nora Heysen (1911-2003), the daughter of Sir Hans Heysen (1877-1968), was born in Hahndorf in South Australia |
Big Bear Mountain is a summit located at the western edge of the North Cascades, in Snohomish County of Washington state. It is located midway between Three Fingers to its north, and Liberty Mountain to its south. Big Bear Mountain is situated in the Boulder River Wilderness on land administered by the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Sauk and Stillaguamish Rivers. Climate Big Bear Mountain is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America. Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel northeast toward the Cascade Mountains. As fronts approach the North Cascades, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Cascade Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the Cascades (Orographic lift). As a result, the west side of the North Cascades experiences high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Due to its temperate climate and proximity to the Pacific Ocean, areas west of the Cascade Crest very rarely experience temperatures below or above . During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. Because of maritime influence, snow tends to be wet and heavy, resulting in high avalanche danger. Geology The North Cascades features some of the most rugged topography in the Cascade Range with craggy peaks, ridges, and deep glacial valleys. Geological events occurring many years ago created the diverse topography and drastic elevation changes over the Cascade Range leading to the various climate differences. These climate differences lead to vegetation variety defining the ecoregions in this area. The history of the formation of the Cascade Mountains dates back millions of years ago to the late Eocene Epoch. With the North American Plate overriding the Pacific Plate, episodes of volcanic igneous activity persisted. In addition, small fragments of the oceanic and continental lithosphere called terranes created the North Cascades about 50 million years ago. During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris. The "U"-shaped cross section of the river valleys are a result of recent glaciation. Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes |

2013, the FRA confirmed that it did not have the authority to "either set or repudiate any definitions" of antisemitism. In November 2013, the FRA removed the definition from its website in "a clear-out of non-official documents"; a spokesperson stated at the time that "We are not aware of any official definition [of antisemitism]". In April 2016, Middle East Monitor reported that, in response to a motion passed at the UK National Union of Students annual conference endorsing the definition, the FRA stated that the working definition "is not an official EU definition and has not been adopted by FRA". IHRA publication On 26 May 2016, IHRA adopted a non-legally binding working definition of antisemitism. The IHRA adoption took place following the efforts of Mark Weitzman of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, at the Bucharest plenary meeting of the IHRA on 30 May 2016, where its 31 member countries voted to adopt it. Weitzman later told a workshop that the definition was copied from the EUMC version as there was "not enough time to invent a new one". The decision to adopt the text was based on consensus among IHRA's 31 member countries. The document included two sections, a two-sentence definition plus the list of 11 examples. IHRA's 38-word basic "working definition" of antisemitism reads: The IHRA states that "the Working Definition, including its examples, was reviewed and decided upon" by the plenary. In the press release announcing the adoption of the definition, along with the definition itself, were listed the same eleven examples that featured in the EUMC definition, which the IRHA stated would be used to guide it in its work. After the caveat, "taking into account the overall context", the examples of what could constitute antisemitism include "Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations" and "claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor" (and nine other examples). Antony Lerman notes that the EUMC and IHRA definitions are set out differently. The EUMC 38-word working definition is distinguished from the rest of the text by being set in bold type. The same text in the IHRA definition is also in bold type, and enclosed in a box containing the longer part of a prefatory sentence that begins outside the box.

her. In the mid 1920s the trustees of the Sydney Sailors' Home sold the property to the Kogarah Council for A£12,000. The estate was divided into recreational and residential spaces. The portion that was reserved for park purposes was opened and dedicated on Australia Day 1924 and the remaining 374 suburban lots were offered for sale that day. The cottage was converted to a new use as the residence of the park's ranger. The first ranger was Joseph Harald Coxhead, who held the position between 1924 and 1953. In 1928 a health inspector's report noted extensive white ant activity, inadequate ventilation and poor drainage. At this time outbuildings were demolished and internal alterations and modifications made to the cottage. During the 1930s landscaping works included the construction of the stone walling, arbor and stone seats. As a result of the enthusiasm aroused by the lead-up to the 1970 James Cook bicentenary celebrations, Kogarah Council decided to form a historical society and to lease Carss Cottage to the Historical Society for use as a historical museum. Description The cottage has sandstone walls and a slate roof. Condition Physical condition is good. Archaeological potential is excellent for those documented demolished original outbuildings. Modifications and dates 1865 - built 1924 - estate subdivided and cottage converted for park ranger 1928 - outbuildings demolished and internal alterations and modifications made to the cottage. 1930s - landscaping works included the construction of the stone walling, arbor and stone seats. Heritage listing As at 2 August 2012, Carss Cottage formed a substantial part of a rare setting and is one of the oldest buildings in the southern Sydney area south of the Cooks River. It is the oldest building in the Kogarah area and is associated with the early development of the Kogarah area. William Carss was of sufficient stature in Sydney society in the 1830s as a master craftsman to have been a member of the founding committee of the Sydney Mechanics School of Arts in 1834. It is a rare example of mid Victorian period stone homestead in the southern area of Sydney. Situated on a knoll close to Kogarah Bay and through its largely unspoilt setting, it plays an integral role in the aesthetic and architectural quality of the Bay. Carss Cottage was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999 having satisfied the following criteria. The place |

This Close is a dramedy series written by and starring deaf creators Shoshannah Stern and Josh Feldman that premiered on Sundance Now on February 14, 2018. Background This Close began as Fridays, Stern and Feldman's Kickstarter web series, and then premiered at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival's Episodic Showcase as The Chances. It was Sundance Now's first straight-to-series order, and centers on two deaf best friends navigating their twenties in Los Angeles. Josh Feldman and Shoshannah Stern are the first deaf TV showrunners. According to the creators, approximately 25 of the cast and crew are also deaf. Stern says when they were coming up with a title for the TV show, the network kept trying to pitch "words [that] they were trying to use to capture the deaf experience, like 'The Sound of Silence' [or] 'Deaf Like Me.' But I said, 'I think we’re working backwards... instead of trying to find an English word that captures the deaf experience, we should be thinking of a sign'." Stern and Feldman came up with the title, This Close, as a translation for a sign that's "your index finger and your middle finger crossing." According to Stern, it's a sign that has many different translations: "We’re showing something that’s intertwined... [it's] a sign used for “best friends, “like this” or “this close”. So we came up with “this close” from that." It was renewed for a second season in April 2018. This Close is developed and produced by Super Deluxe. Cast Main Shoshannah Stern as Kate Josh Feldman as Michael Recurring Colt Prattes as Ryan Zach Gilford as Danny Cheryl Hines as Stella Nyle DiMarco as Ben Genovese Moshe Kasher as Jacob Marlee Matlin as Annie Colleen Foy as Taylor Marcia Cross as Blythe Camryn Manheim as The Therapist Steven Weber as Michael's Dad Austin Nichols as Shep Lisa Rinna as Ryan's Mom Margaret Cho as Zagat Millicent Simmonds as Emmaline Marylouise Burke as Hollis Jessica Tuck as Carol Will Murden as Nathan Colleen Foy as Taylor Shaylee Mansfield as Margaret Bryan Michael Nunez as Jimmy John P.

Medni Rid (, meaning Copper Ridge), also known as Bakarlak (Бакърлък) until 1942, is a ridge in south-eastern Bulgaria. It forms the north-eastern extreme of the Bosna Ridge in the Strandzha Mountains. Administratively, it lies in the municipalities of Sozopol and Primorsko, Burgas Province. The main orographic ridge extends from the north-west to the south-east with a maximum length of 18-20 km and width of 3-5 km. The north-western extreme of Medni Rid reaches Cape Chukalya on the southern coast of the Gulf of Burgas; to the south-east it reaches the valley of the river Ropotamo, which separates it from the isolated ridge of Kitka Ridge. To the west, the valleys of the rivers Rosenska (a left tributary of the Ropotamo) and Otmanliy (flowing directly into the Gulf of Bourgas) separate it from the small ridge Rosen Bair. The two ridges are connected via a low saddle near the village of Rosen. To the east, Medni Rid descends to the shores of the Black Sea. Its highest point, Mount Bakarlaka (376.2 m), rises in the northern section. Medni Rid is composed by andesite, tuff and plutonic rocks. In its northern part there are copper ore deposits. The climate is continental with significant Black Sea influence. The ridge is drained by small rivers and streams. The predominant soils are cinnamon forest ones. The ridge and its slopes are overgrown with oak, hornbeam and lime forests. On its eastern and western foothills there are four villages: Atia and Ravadinovo to the east, Rosen and Veselie to the west. The south-eastern part of Medni Rid falls within the territory of the Ropotamo Nature Reserve; its northern part is occupied by the Rosenets recreational forest. A section of the ridge is designated as a protected area named Bakarlaka. About 172 bird species have been discovered in Medni Rid and the ridge has been declared a site of ornithologic importance. It is an important stop for migrating storks and pelicans after they cross the Gulf of Burgas from Cape Emine in the easternmost Balkan Mountains. Medni Rid is among the nation's foremost nesting sites for middle spotted woodpecker, olive-tree warbler, spotted crake and yelkouan shearwater. There are significant populations of barred warbler and ortolan bunting. On all high points of the ridge — from north to south Atia, Bakarlaka, Lobodovo Kale, Malkoto Kale — there are remnants of Thracian fortresses, built of crushed stone. Methodical |
(even a single directory), and path-based authorization can be used to restrict access to certain parts of a repository. More storage needed by default With split repositories, you fetch only the project you are interested in by default. With a monorepo, you check out all projects by default. This can take up a significant amount of storage space. While all versioning systems have a mechanism to do a partial checkout, doing so defeats some of the advantages of a monorepo. Scalability challenges Companies with large projects have come across hurdles with monorepos, specifically concerning build tools and version control systems. Google's monorepo, speculated to be the largest in the world, meets the classification of an ultra-large-scale system and must handle tens of thousands of contributions every day in a repository over 80 terabytes in size. Scaling version control software Companies using or switching to existing version control software found that software could not efficiently handle the amount of data required for a large monorepo. Facebook and Microsoft chose to contribute to or fork existing version control software Mercurial and Git respectively, while Google eventually created their own version control system. For more than ten years, Google had relied on Perforce hosted on a single machine. In 2005 Google's build servers could get locked up to 10 minutes at a time. Google improved this to 30 seconds–1 minute in 2010. Due to scaling issues, Google eventually developed its own in-house distributed version control system dubbed Piper. Facebook ran into performance issues with the version control system Mercurial and made upstream contributions to the client, and in January 2014 made it faster than a competing solution in Git. In May 2017 Microsoft announced that virtually all of its Windows engineers use a Git monorepo. In the transition, Microsoft made substantial upstream contributions to the Git client to remove unnecessary file access and improve handling of large files with Virtual File System for Git. Scaling build software Few build tools work well in a monorepo, and flows where builds and continuous integration testing of the entire repository are performed upon check-in will cause performance problems. Directed graph builds systems like Buck, Bazel, Pants, and Please solve this by compartmentalizing builds and tests to the active area of development. Twitter began development of Pants in 2011, as both Facebook's Buck and Google's Bazel were closed-source at the time. Twitter open-sourced Pants in 2012 under |

possibility exists that Italy will declare war against us, I consider it my first duty to keep our fleet intact." Haus' decision to keep his fleet in port earned sharp criticism from the Austro-Hungarian Army, the German Navy, and the Austro-Hungarian Foreign Ministry, but it also led to a far greater number of Allied naval forces being devoted to the Mediterranean and the Strait of Otranto. These could have been used elsewhere, such as against the Ottoman Empire during the Gallipoli Campaign. Throughout the rest of 1914, Admiral Spaun was among the most active ships in the Austro-Hungarian Navy, despite chronic engine problems. 1915 By January 1915, Haus had adopted a cautious strategy to preserve his fleet, as Austria-Hungary was drastically outnumbered by the Anglo-French fleets in the Mediterranean, and the attitude of Austria-Hungary's erstwhile ally Italy remained unknown. Haus decided the best course of action would be to act as a fleet in being, which would tie down Allied naval forces, while torpedo boats, mines, and raids with fast cruisers like Admiral Spaun could be used to reduce the numerical superiority of the enemy fleets before a decisive battle could be fought. However, engine and other machinery problems related to her propulsion systems hindered Admiral Spauns abilities to be deployed for operations in the Adriatic in a similar fashion to the ships of the Novara class. Indeed, Gardiner and Grey write in Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1906–1921 that "the ship suffered so many teething troubles with her engines that she never participated in the cruiser operations of her successors, although she saw wartime service in minor and less dangerous roles." Instead, the ships of the Novara class continued operations in the Adriatic, conducting missions such as towing U-boats out into the Mediterranean or raiding Allied convoys and drifters guarding the Straight of Otranto. Nevertheless, Admiral Spaun would participate in the largest and most successful Austro-Hungarian naval operation of the war following Italy's entry into the conflict on the side of the Allies in May 1915. Bombardment of Ancona After failed negotiations with Germany and Austria-Hungary over Italy joining the war as a member of the Central Powers, the Italians negotiated with the Triple Entente for Italy's eventual entry into the war on their side in the Treaty of London, signed on 26 April 1915. On 4 May Italy formally renounced her alliance to Germany and Austria-Hungary, giving |

Suzanne Mettler is an American political scientist and author, known for her research about the way Americans view and respond to the government in their lives, and helping to stimulate the study of American political development. Education and career Mettler received a B.A. from Boston College in 1984, a Masters from the University of Illinois (Urbana) in political science, 1989, and a Ph.D. from Cornell University in government, 1994. From 1994 to 2007 she taught at Syracuse University, rising from assistant professor to full professor at the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs, Department of Political Science. Since July, 2007, she has been the Clinton Rossiter Professor of American Institutions, Department of Government, Cornell University. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2019. Works Mettler co-edited the Oxford Handbook of American Political Development (2016). Mettler subscribes to the subfield of political science called American political development (APD), which recognizes the need for an analytic approach to researching and understanding U.S. politics. She feels there is a distinctiveness of the APD approach, which studies "the causes, nature, and consequences of key transformative periods and central patterns in American political history," as well the "durable shifts in governing authority" in the United States. Mettler has been described as a prominent Americanist scholar in this relatively new field, which blurs the border between political science and political history. Her particular interests include inequality, democratization and civic engagement. She has written five books, most prominently two winners of the Kammerer Award of the American Political Science Association for the best book on U.S. national policy: Soldiers to Citizens: The G.I. Bill and the Making of the Greatest Generation, 2005 (Oxford University Press), and Dividing Citizens: Gender and Federalism in New Deal Public Policy, 1998 (Cornell University Press), which also won the Greenstone Book Prize and the Martha Dertick Book Award. Other books include The Government-Citizen Disconnect (Russell Sage 2018); Degrees of Inequality: How The Politics of Higher Education Sabotaged the American Dream (Basic Books 2014); and, The Submerged State: How Invisible Government Programs Undermine American Democracy (University of Chicago 2011). Mettler has written for a broader audience with publications in New York Times, L.A. Times, Foreign Affairs, and Salon. The election of Trump heightened Mettler's concerns about the future of American democracy. In 2017, Mettler initiated the American Democracy Collaborative, a group of political scientists "who are evaluating the health of democracy in the |
Most wickets Source: Cricinfo Vijay Hazare Trophy The Hyderabad team, led by Arjun Yadav, began their campaign in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, a List-A cricket tournament in India, with a win against the Kerala at Visakhapatnam on 15 February 2009. Robert Fernandez's 83 supported by half-century from Sreekumar Nair helped the Kerala post a competitive total of 247 though they lost five wickets in last ten overs but injury to S. Sreesanth and the half-centuries from Dwaraka Ravi Teja, Anoop Pai and Syed Quadri helped the Hyderabad chase the target with four wickets to spare. In the second match, steady opening partnership between Robin Uthappa and C. M. Gautam and the half-centuries from Manish Pandey and Deepak Chougule helped the Karnataka survive the late collapse off Shoaib Ahmed and post 269 in 50 overs. The Hyderabad started the chase strongly with Tirumalasetti Suman scoring 93 off 86 balls but the seven-wickets between Sunil Joshi and K. P. Appanna in the middle helped the Karnataka defeat the Hyderabad by 50 runs. The Hyderabad suffered second loss in three matches as the centuries from Subramaniam Badrinath and Vidyut Sivaramakrishnan helped the Tamil Nadu post 342 in 50 overs and the early collapse from the Hyderabad top-order led to a 92-run defeat as Shoaib Ahmed's second five-wicket haul in last two matches went in vain. The Hyderabad won their second match in this tournament as the collective batting effort from the batsmen with the half-century form Ravi Teja helped the Hyderabad post 261 in 50 overs while the three-wicket hauls from Shoaib Ahmed and Mungala Arjun restricted Goa to 155 and ensure a 105-run win for the Hyderabad. In the final zonal match, the Andhra were troubled by Shoaib Ahmed as his seven-wicket haul helped the Hyderabad bowl out the Andhra for 130 while an unbeaten half-century from Ravi Teja ensured a six-wicket win for the Hyderabad. This win helped the Hyderabad finish inside top-2 in the South Zone to advance to the knockout stage with three wins and two losses. They were eliminated in the quarter-final where lost to the Baroda by seven wickets. The Hyderabad were bowled out for 167 with the help of four-wicket haul from Ikram Zampawala and the three-wicket haul from Swapnil Singh while the half-centuries from Shailesh Solanki, Azhar Bilakhia and Rakesh Solanki helped the Baroda chase the target in 31 overs.

Jackie Toledo is an American politician and civil engineer who served as a member of the Florida House of Representatives for the 60th district from 2016 to 2022. She is a member of the Florida Republican Party. Early life and education Toledo was born in Lima and immigrated to the United States as a child. She graduated from Gaither High School in Tampa, Florida and the University of South Florida. Career Toledo is a civil engineer with NUE Urban Concepts. She served as the deputy majority whip of the Florida House during her first term. She also served as the chair of the Women's Caucus. 2015 Toledo unsuccessfully ran for Tampa City Council against Guido Maniscalco in 2015, winning 49% of the vote. Many credit her loss to "a barrage of nasty attack ads against Maniscalco flooded area mailboxes." 2016 In 2016, Toledo won the Republican primary for the 60th district, defeating businesswoman Rebecca Smith by 246 votes (1.96%). She went on to win the general election against Democratic opponent, land use attorney David Singer, with 57% of the vote. Among the primary platform points of Toledo's 2016 campaign were that she was supported by the NRA and she would repeal in-state tuition and law licenses for "illegal aliens.” 2018 Toledo won reelection in 2018 with 52.24% of the vote. 2020 Toledo faced a Democratic opponent, Julie Jenkins, in her 2020 campaign for reelection. Political positions Abortion and birth control In 2017, Toledo introduced a bill to the Florida House of Representatives to "promote and encourage childbirth," by funding anti-abortion organizations. The bill directed state funds to Florida Pregnancy Care Network, Inc., an organization that explicitly does not make referrals to abortion providers, with the funds earmarked to support direct client services, promotional campaigns, and a call center. The bill restricted Florida Pregnancy Care Network to only subcontracting with "providers that exclusively promote and support childbirth". Opponents to the bill objected that it would block the state from awarding contracts to organizations that provide information on birth control and abortion services. Other concerns with the bill included that it was duplicative of the Healthy Start program; it spent money with an organization offering referrals rather than healthcare; and, though the bill blocked providers from discussing religion, provided the funds to an organization with a religious agenda.

A series of wildfires in Greece, during the 2018 European heat wave, began in the coastal areas of Attica in July 2018. 104 people were confirmed dead from the Mati fires (the last died in October 2022, from health problems which was caused because of the fire). The fires were the second-deadliest wildfire event in the 21st century, after the 2009 Black Saturday bushfires in Australia that killed 173. Over 700 residents were evacuated or rescued, mainly from the seaside settlements located north of the port town of Rafina, namely Kokkino Limanaki and Mati, where rescuers found 26 corpses trapped just metres away from the sea, apparently hugging each other as they died. Boats also recovered corpses from the water, and rescued hundreds of people from beaches and the sea. Two heroic people drowned when the boat rescuing them from a hotel in Mati capsized. Μore than 4,000 residents were affected by the wildfires. The Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras declared a state of emergency in Attica, and announced a three-day period of national mourning, stating in a televised address, "The country is going through an unspeakable tragedy". After the fires, flags atop the Acropolis and the Greek parliament flew at half mast. The European flags at the European Commission headquarters in Brussels also flew at half mast in honour of the victims. Many countries worldwide helped or offered aid to Greece. A 65-year-old man from Penteli has been arrested for causing the fire through negligence, by burning wood in his garden. Fires On 23 July 2018 at 13:00 Eastern European Time, a wildfire started west of Athens near Kineta. A few hours later, a second wildfire started burning at the north of Athens near Penteli. Due to very strong wind gusts in the area both wildfires spread quickly which were up to , 12 Beaufort. The fire in Kineta burned houses in the area, while the fire in Penteli headed east towards the beach, where it started burning parts of Neos Voutzas, Mati and Kokkino Limanaki just north of the town of Rafina and as far as its northern fringes. Impact The flames were so intense that they trapped and burned people inside their houses, cars, or a few metres away from the beach. Thousands of vehicles and houses were destroyed before the fire was brought under control hours later. An entire summer camp with 620 children was evacuated |

Divided is an Indian Tamil-language game show, which debuted on Star Vijay on 21 July 2018 and ended on 4 November 2018. It is hosted by Gopinath Chandran. Format A team of three complete strangers attempt to answer up to 14 questions over the course of five rounds. The team has to accumulate as much money as possible. In the game, each question is either multiple-choice with one correct answer to be chosen from three options, or a list of three items to be placed in a specified order. The team has 100 seconds to arrive at a unanimous decision on each question, and the money at stake decreases by 1% for each second that elapses before they lock in their choice. A correct answer adds the remaining money to a prize pot, while an incorrect answer cuts the pot in 10%,20% and 30% to the consequent rounds. If the team misses a total of three questions, the game ends immediately and the team forfeits all winnings. The motive of the game begins when the prize money won by the contestants cannot be shared equally rather have to share themselves amicably.

Witsand Solar Desalination Plant (WSDP) is a water purification project under construction in South Africa. Location The water treatment facility is under construction in the seaside town of Witsand, in Hessequa Local Municipality, in the Western Cape Province, at the mouth of the Breede River. This is approximately , by road, south-east of Cape Town, the nearest large city. Overview The town of Witsand is a tourist attraction, with a low-season population of approximately 300 people. During the tourist high-season, the population swells to over 3,000 people, leading to freshwater scarcity in the town. To address that scarcity, the government of the Western Cape and the French government, decided to jointly develop and fund he Witsand water purification project. Technology The WSDP is the first desalination plant in South Africa, that uses solar energy to power its processes. Its new technology applications, allow for the elimination of storage batteries in the design. The plant's new Osmosun technology, involves the use of a specialized "intelligent" membrane that is able to continue delivering reverse osmosis, even when the sun goes behind a cloud, thus reducing the amount of solar energy delivered. The energy delivered would increase again when the clouds moved away. That ability to "soften" the variability in the energy delivered, preserves the reverse osmosis membrane. At night, when there is no sun, the design allows the plant to switch to conventional grid-electricity and continue working all through the darkness, until the sun rises the next morning. Construction and cost The budgeted cost of the plant is ZAR:8.6 million (approx. US$650,000), to be shared equally between the governments of the Western Cape and that of France. The unit cost of the purified water at this plant is between ZAR:7 to ZAR:8 (US$0.52 to US$0.60) for every . In comparison, the temporary diesel-fueled desalination plant at Strandfontein, in Cape Town, produces potable water at ZAR:35 to ZAR:40 (US$2.62 to US$3.00) for every 1,000 liters. If this project is a success, it might be reproduced in other parts of the country, where drought is a problem. Challenges In order to generate enough solar energy for its internal processes, the plant needs to accommodate the requisite solar panels. This requirement for large areas to install solar panels, may restrict the project's reproducibility in crowded cities like Cape Town.

Jean Marian Purdy (25 April 1945 – 16 March 1985) was a British nurse and embryologist and a pioneer of fertility treatment. Purdy was responsible with Robert Edwards and Patrick Steptoe for developing in vitro fertilisation. Louise Joy Brown, the first test-tube baby, was born on 25 July 1978, and Purdy was the first to see the embryonic cells dividing. Edwards was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work on the development of in vitro fertilisation; however, because the Nobel Prize is not awarded posthumously, neither Purdy nor Steptoe were eligible for consideration. Purdy was a co-founder of the Bourn Hall Clinic but her role there and in the development of IVF was ignored for 30 years. Education Purdy attended Cambridgeshire High School for Girls between 1956 and 1963 where she became a prefect, joined sports teams and played violin in the orchestra. She trained to be a nurse at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge. Career After gaining registration as a nurse, Purdy moved to Southampton General Hospital, but was unhappy there and applied for a research post locally to work on tissue rejection, before transferring to Papworth Hospital in her home county where the first open-heart surgeries (and, later, heart transplants) were pioneered in Britain. In 1968, she applied for and obtained a post with Robert Edwards at the Physiological Laboratory in Cambridge. Steptoe became the Director of the Centre for Human Reproduction, Oldham in 1969. Using laparoscopy, he collected the ova from volunteering infertile women who saw his place as their last hope to achieve a pregnancy. Purdy began her work with the Steptoe and Edwards as a lab technician. She played a significant and increasingly vital role, to the extent that, when she took time off to care for her sick mother, work had to pause. During this time they had to endure criticism and hostility to their work. It was Purdy who first saw that a fertilised egg, which was to become Louise Brown, was dividing to make new cells. The birth of Louise Brown in 1978 changed perceptions and, to accommodate the increased demand and to train specialists, the team founded the Bourn Hall Clinic, Cambridgeshire in 1980.

Club career MŠK Žilina 2018–19 season Boženík made his professional Fortuna Liga debut for Žilina against Nitra on 28 July 2018. Žilina won the game 2–1 and although Boženík was replaced by Filip Balaj 73 minutes into the match, he scored the winning goal for the Šošoni in the 54th minute, after an assist by Jakub Holúbek. Within a month of his debut, he also scored against AS Trenčín and iClinic Sereď. Before the winter break he had scored 10 goals, including one against later champions Slovan Bratislava in a 2–5 defeat and 2 further goals against Nitra, in a 2–0 victory. He was named Fortuna Liga's player of the month for October 2018. He was also praised for his successful spell and was crowned one of the league's greatest talents after the autumn part of the 2018–19 season by experts in the media, as well as fans. On 1 December 2018, MŠK had announced a contract extension until June 2022. In the spring part of the season, Boženík struggled to reclaim his form from the previous months. Still, in the final round of the main part of the Fortuna Liga season, in the match against ŽP Šport Podbrezová, Boženík had replaced Filip Balaj in the 76th minute and scoring the decisive goal, to seal the 2–1 win for Žilina, less than a minute later. Since then, it took Boženík 9 league fixtures to score again. He did score two goals in Slovnaft Cup, one in second-leg semi-final match against Zemplín Michalovce and another one in the unsuccessful final match against FC Spartak Trnava (Boženík was also one of the players who missed a penalty in the shoot-out).

Overally, Boženík completed the season with 15 goals in 39 competitive games for Žilina. With 13 goals in the Fortuna Liga, he was the second best scorer of the season, behind Andraž Šporar (29 goals).

Kwon Young-jin (; born 10 December 1962) is a South Korean politician who currently serves as the mayor of Daegu. Life Kwon Young-jin was born on December 10, 1962 in Andong, North Gyeongsang Province. In 2002, Kwon entered politics on the recommendation of the President of the Grand National Party Lee Hoi-chang. In 2004, he led the way "Tent headquarters movement" of the Grand National Party. In 2007 presidential election, Kwon supported Lee Myung-bak. And he ran for the 2008 legislative election for Nowon District, Seoul and he won over the Woo Won-shik of the United Democratic Party. However, he lost to Woo Won-shik in the 2012 legislative election. Kwon ran for mayor of Daegu in the 2014 local elections and won. And in 2018, he was re-elected despite his party (Liberty Korea Party)'s poor approval rating. He put up the city government's slogan is "Only Citizens' Happiness, Creating Daegu." In 2021, Kwon gained international attention during the COVID-19 pandemic when he propagated a fraudulent COVID-19 vaccine proposal to South Korean news media. Mayor Kwon announced to reporters in May 2021 that his city, via a public-private partnership focused on unifying medical care throughout Daegu, was in talks with a foreign trading company to obtain 30 million doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine independently from the central government (headed by Moon Jae-in's opposition party). Following this media event, Kwon's office sent South Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare import proposal drafts between the public-private partnership, Medi-City Daegu Council, and the foreign trading company. It raised concerns about the deal, citing "reliability issues" due to Pfizer only supplying its vaccines through central governments and international health organizations, not through unaffiliated intermediaries. Kwon has since apologized for giving credence to the fraudulent vaccine distribution scam.
