For Basie is an album by American jazz saxophonist Paul Quinichette featuring tracks recorded in 1957 and released on the Prestige label. Reception Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars and reviewer Scott Yanow stated, "the sextet jams on five Basie-associated tunes from the 1930s and 40s, none of which are exactly overplayed ... Each of the songs serves as a strong vehicle for swing-oriented solos and the musicians sound quite inspired. Recommended". In JazzTimes, Stanley Dance wrote "Paul Quinichette was not styled the Vice-Pres for nothing. Of all the tenor players Lester Young inspired, he passed on the message the most faithfully. He was too often dismissed as an imitator, but Young’s language seemed to be natural to him, so that his flow was not broken up by the fashionable ejaculations necessary to others. The program of Basie hits perhaps imposed limitations of another kind". Track listing "Rock-a-Bye Basie" (Count Basie, Shad Collins) – 6:34 "Texas Shuffle" (Herschel Evans) – 7:02 "Out the Window" (Basie, Eddie Durham) – 7:33 "Jive at Five" (Basie, Harry Edison) – 9:45 "Diggin' for Dex" (Basie, Durham) – 7:10 Personnel Paul Quinichette – tenor saxophone Shad Collins – trumpet Nat Pierce – piano Freddie Green – guitar Walter Page – bass Jo Jones – drums References 1957 albums Albums produced by Bob Weinstock Paul Quinichette albums Prestige Records albums Albums recorded at Van Gelder Studio Count Basie tribute albums

The 101 Best Novels 1985-2010 by Damien Broderick and Paul Di Filippo. Publishers Weekly opined that "Some science fiction purists may be surprised by the decidedly erotic nature of this story, but, with her luminous prose and vivid characters, Sargent (Venus of Dreams has written a compelling and emotionally involving novel. In the New York Times review, Gerald Jonas lauded Sargent's treatment of homosexuality in the book, and wrote: “I applaud Ms. Sargent's ambition and admire the way she has unflinchingly pursued the logic of her vision.” References Feminist science fiction novels American post-apocalyptic novels 1986 American novels Matriarchy Pamela Sargent Women-only spaces

date; nevertheless, I am sufficiently old-fashioned to believe that a word of explanation is often necessary to bring the reader and writer into sympathy with each other. Heretofore, I have confined my publications to poetry; but in this miscellaneous collection I have interspersed prose with recently written poems, together with others not embraced in the former volumes. I have also gathered together the short stories and other literary remains of my daughter, Mrs. May Bedford-Eagan, and included them in this work. Had not death intervened, she intended publishing these under the title here used—Driftings. In that event, mine would have been called Miscellaneous Pencilings—a title under which I have contributed much to the press. I have chosen Driftwood and Driftings as being a more euphoneous combination than the other names would have been. Doubtless her work would have been more finished had she lived to revise it; but to me it is sacred as it is—I have made few changes. In 1909, Bedford published a poetical romance called Forrest Dayre. Personal life From Florida, the couple moved to Dallas, Texas. For a time, she lived in New York City, but she claimed Dallas as her home and wished to be identified with Texas.

delighted the Victorians. After Edward Manicom Farleigh died in 1909 the western half of the estate was sold and a new street, appropriately called Edward Street, came into being. There is no record of this part of the original estate. It may have included paddocks for horses and a house cow, a poultry run, a garden supplying vegetables and flowers to the house and perhaps a glasshouse. There were (other) dairies, poultry farms and Chinese market gardens in the Arncliffe district at this time. Two unmarried sisters, Elizabeth and May, were the last of Edward Manicom Farleigh's family to live at Cairnsfoot. Grounds and gardens Cairnsfoot'''s grounds are shown in a series of photographs taken between 1943 and 1947 by neighbour Alan Evans. These photographs show a large and sophisticated garden with pollarded camphor laurels (Cinnamomum camphora) running along the entire length of its Loftus Street boundary, high timber picket fence and paling fences on Loftus Street, double gates for carriages and cars and a single gate for pedestrians. A large white camellia (Camellia japonica cv.) was beside the pedestrian gate. Also growing along that boundary were giant Danubian (or Spanish) reed clumps (Arundo donax and oleanders (Nerium oleander cv.s). Inside the main gates these photographs show the house dominating the view, facing east and south. The northern wall was windowless. All windows had wooden Venetian blinds. The carriage drive continued westward to the stables / coach house. The drive and carriage circle were separated by a teardrop shaped bed bordered by stones and planted with candlestick aloes (Aloe arborescens), yellow lantana (Lantana camara cv.) and the dramatic succulent, Agave attenuata. Along the southern verandah of the house were hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla), an autumn camellia (Camellia sasanqua) pruned into an umbrella form, a Lord Howe Island palm (Kentia fosteriana) and a variegated Japanese laurel (Euonymus japonicus "Aureo-Variegatus" pruned into a globe. To the south of the drive was an orchard and vegetable garden. A wooden railing marked the boundary of the ornamental garden. Fruit trees included China pears and peaches. A house cow, Biddy, grazed in the orchard. Also along the southern edge of the drive are two fine specimen trees - two large Norfolk Island pines (Araucaria heterophylla) and two evergreen magnolias/Bull Bay trees (Magnolia grandiflora). To the north of the carriage loop was a border of wormwood, oleanders and roses edging a lawn area. Garden beds around it

SS Baltimore was an iron passenger steamship of the North German Lloyd (Norddeutscher Lloyd) line, built by Caird & Company of Greenock, Scotland in 1867. She was used for most of her career to bring German immigrants to Baltimore. History In January 1867, the North German Lloyd company proposed regular service between Bremen, Southampton, and Baltimore. To that end, the company placed an order with Caird & Company for two large screw steamers for this new line. The keel of Baltimore was laid in March 1867. The ship was launched on 3 August 1867 and was named Baltimore by Mrs. Robert Blair of Haylee. At the time, a reporter from The Glasgow Herald wrote "The Baltimore is the forerunner of the fleet, and, judging from her beautiful model, the completeness of her arrangements, and the enterprise of the company to who she belongs, there can be no doubt she will speedily establish for the company a trade as extensive and prosperous as the Bremen and New York fleet, built by the same eminent builders." On 12 February 1868, the Baltimore left the builder's shipyard for Bremen. The Bremen-Baltimore line opened on 1 March and on 3 March the Baltimore set sail from Bremen for Southampton and sailed from Southampton on 4 March for her first transatlantic trip. The Baltimore arrived at the Locust Point dock on the south side of Baltimore Harbor on 23 March. She was only the second iron steamship ever in port. The people of Baltimore marked the arrival of the steamer on her first sailing on 26 March with a parade headed by the Governor with state and local dignitaries, Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, and local groups as well as celebrations, closing of public schools and markets, and a public holiday. The War Department ordered a salute fired from Fort McHenry as a national recognition of the arrival of the first North German Lloyd steamer. Death of two captains SS Baltimore had an unusual occurrence. Both of her first two captains died at sea between Bremen and Baltimore. The ship's first captain, Captain Wilhelm Vöckler (also spelled Voeckler; age 50 of Bremerhaven) died on 8 March 1871. Baltimore had left Bremen on 2 March and Southampton on 5 March. Captain Voeckler had been ill prior to sailing, with dropsy (edema) of the stomach, but was feeling better and insisted on making the voyage. He succumbed to his

roods to local solicitor Earnest Edward (E.E.) Morgan of Queanbeyan in February 1886. This land formed part of the area known as "Garryowen" (bounded by Uriarra Road, Stornaway Street, Tharwa Road and Campbell Street) which was subdivided in the 1850s into small landholdings of 10-20 acres to the west of the town grid and was fully occupied by 1860. Kawaree Cottage was built by E. E. Morgan between 1886-1889 on the block which according to Sheedy, formed the extremity of the southern boundary of Garryowen, the block which was previously owned by James Brown of Googong. The house is of a late Victorian style, built at a time of great growth in the Southern NSW regional areas. There is no documented evidence of any garden design for the period between the house's completion in 1889 and 1921 when the property was first rented, to 1924 when the Colmans became its owners. The Kawaree landscape was initially developed over 70 years through the gold rush of the 1880s, the depression of the 1890s, Federation, the 1920s, the Great Depression of the 1930s, World War II and was finalised in the optimism of post-war Australia. In 1892 the property was sold to the trustees of the Wesleyan Methodist Church for use as a parsonage (for Queanbeyan). The manse was lived in by Methodist Ministers continuously for 30 years, but due to the distance being too far from the church, the Methodist Church sold the property to a parishioner, Herbert George (H. G.) Colman, in 1924. Colman came from Blayney to work for James Buchanan Young, who had migrated to Australia in 1885, moved to Blayney and then to Queanbeyan in 1914, where he purchased Harry Solomon's store in Monaro Street and changed its name to J. B. Young's department store. Colman was the store's manager. He was responsible for the rapid expansion of the company J. B. Young's, which purchased the first lease offered for sale in Canberra in December 1924, as the fledgling Federal Capital began to expand. A branch store was built in what was then called Eastlake and is now Kingston, Canberra's first suburb and shopping precinct. The store opened in July 1925. After the expansion into Canberra, the business began to grow rapidly and H. G. Colman and two other directors, bought out J. B. Young. The store saw expansion into (Canberra's suburb) Civic, which opened in September

Interior. In a letter of 25 June 1870 Bertier said he had told Billaut that the people of Savoy would only vote for annexation if three conditions were met. Savoy had to pass to France entirely, with no dismemberment. It had to be divided into two departments corresponding to the two provinces of Savoy. Finally, the Court of Appeal of Chambéry must be preserved. The imperial government accepted the last request with no difficulty. In its issue of 13 March 1860 the Courrier des Alpes, the official organ of the annexation published throughout Savoy, stated "We are authorized to announce that Savoy will be divided into two departments with Chambéry and Annecy for chief towns and that an imperial court will be maintained in the first of these two cities." Bertier was one of the five leaders of a deputation of forty notables of Savoy who met the Emperor Napoleon III to inform him of the unanimous wishes of their country, the others being Greyfié de Bellecombe, de Lachenal, Ruphy and Dessaix. The emperor received them in a solemn audience on 21 March 1860 and promised to satisfy their wishes. He noted that it was unique for such a change of borders to take place not through conquest or through an uprising, but through the free consent of the legitimate sovereign supported by the people. The Treaty of Turin in which the king of Sardinia ceded Savoy and the County of Nice to France came into force on 24 March 1860. Later career Bertier was a member of the Conseil d'État from 1860 to 1870. He was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour on 14 August 1862. Bertier, Master of Requests first class, was named governor of Martinique by decree of 31 October 1866. On 29 December 1866 he was promoted to Officer of the Legion of Honour. By order of the governor on 8 January 1867 the interim governorship pending his arrival was assigned to André César Vérand. Bertier's first order as governor was issued in Fort-de-France on 28 February 1867. At the start of the French Third Republic Bertier returned to Chambéry and resumed his career as an attorney. He died on 29 January 1882 in Chambéry. In February 1882 the Courrier des Alpes noted that, "We were surprised that none of the gentlemen of the Prefecture represented the government at the funeral of a man

Portrait of Elisabeth Bas is a portrait by Ferdinand Bol of the Dutch businesswoman Elisabeth Bas, commissioned by her grand-daughter Maria Rey. It is in the collection of the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, where it is known as Elisabeth Bas and attributed to Ferdinand Bol (1616 - 1680), though the identity of the sitter is held in doubt by the Rijksmuseum. History and attribution Until 1911 it was thought to be by Rembrandt, but that year the Rembrandt expert Abraham Bredius re-attributed it to Bol. Such a re-attribution was hotly contested by the collector and art historian Cornelis Hofstede de Groot (1836-1930), but is now accepted. A brand of cigars was named after this painting in the 20th century, produced at a factory at Boxtel and using the painting as a logo, and their bands and the boxes for cigars of this brand are still collectors' items.

the referendum, leading The Irish Times to suggest that this might cause most "Don't know" voters to end up voting "No" as had happened before in similar little-debated referendums, although it still expected the referendum to be carried based on the most recent opinion poll of 12 October. For Those who supported removing blasphemy from the constitution included: Fine Gael Fianna Fáil Sinn Féin Labour Party Green Party People Before Profit Social Democrats Irish Council for Civil Liberties Church of Ireland Atheist Ireland Justice Minister Charles Flanagan Senator Ivana Bacik Michael Nugent of Atheist Ireland Not opposed Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference, who called the provision "obsolete" and said that similar laws have been used to justify violence and oppression against minorities in other parts of the world. Against Those who opposed removing blasphemy from the constitution included: Islamic Cultural Centre of Ireland Senator Rónán Mullen Séamas de Barra of Alliance for the Defence of Marriage and the Family Colum Kenny of DCU School of Communications Opinion and exit polling Voting The referendum took place on 26 October 2018, on the same day as the presidential election. Polling stations were open from 7 am until 10 pm. Turnout was reported to be low in many areas of the country. By midday, turnout percentages from around the country were in the low teens, with many polling stations reporting single figure percentages. In Dublin some estimates suggested that turnout would be half that of the referendum on the Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland in May. Analysis The Irish Times's analysis of its exit poll data said that "younger voters overwhelmingly backed deletion, while older voters were much more evenly split, with 48 per cent voting to retain the constitutional article as it currently stands". RTÉ noted that given that the presidential election had received far more attention, it had been expected that there would be more abstainers than the 1.8% reported in its exit poll data. When analysing the Red C/RTÉ exit poll, RTÉ Religious and Social Affairs Correspondent Joe Little said that older voters were less likely to vote Yes, with over 8 out of 10 voting Yes among those aged under 44, 7 out of 10 among those aged under 45 to 64, and 6 out of 10 among those aged over 65. Support for No also increased in the lower socio-economic groups, with 77% of those in the

clay pipes into the well; excess water was collected in a pond. People without a well of their own used water from the village well. Wealthier people built wells on their property. The wells were dug, surrounded by small stones and sealed with clay. The region's water supply was improved with the 1982 construction of a pipeline from Brestovica to Komen. Stone shepherds' huts are a local example of folk architecture. The huts, which shelter shepherds from wind and rain, are free-standing or built against boulders or walls. Small huts have room for two or three people, and larger huts can accommodate seven. Dry stone walls, without mortar or other binders, are characteristic of karst architecture. While clearing pastures and meadows, people built walls with the stones they removed. Stone markers denoted administrative boundaries and land ownership.

the rear, handled any KPA attempts to roll up the column from the north. By midmorning Yu's forces were caught in the predictable squeeze, the PVA 81st Division holding its Sangam-ni position against the 9th Division's efforts to reduce it while forces of the KPA 6th and 12th Divisions closed in on the 3rd Division in the Hyon-ni area. Both ROK divisions broke away in disorder into the heights east of the road, leaving behind all remaining artillery pieces and more than three hundred vehicles. Paths through the mountains channeled the disorganized troops southeast toward Soksa-ri. Out of radio contact with his forces since early morning, but informed of their southeasterly movement by air observers, General Yu air-dropped to some groups orders assigning them to Line Waco positions. He also set up straggler lines in the Soksa-ri area, but by nightfall had regained control of forces in little more than battalion strength. While Yu struggled to reorder his two divisions and deploy them on Line Waco, General Almond ordered additional modifications of the X Corps' front to straighten and shorten the line and to shift 2nd Division forces farther east into the weakly defended sectors of the ROK 5th and 7th Divisions. The 5th Marines, now scheduled to take over the western portion of the 2nd Division's sector during the afternoon of 19 May, were to occupy positions centered some south of Hill 800 which would eliminate the bulge manned by the 3rd Battalion, 38th Infantry, in the Hill 800 mass and the two adjoining battalions of the 9th Infantry. Unaware that the 800 complex would be abandoned, the PVA 45th Division meanwhile suffered unnecessarily in nightlong attempts to take it. Successive assault waves of the fresh 133rd Regiment were shattered, mainly by heavy concentrations of artillery fire. On the crest of Hill 800, where the PVA centered most of their charges, the men of Company K, 38th Infantry, in fact did little fighting themselves but sat inside their bunkers and allowed the PVA to enter their lines, then called down artillery fire. The PVA pulled back about dawn on 19 May, leaving behind some eight hundred dead. The new line of the 2nd Division, to be occupied on 19 May, cut Route 24 just below Han'gye on the west and reached across lateral ridges eastward, into what had become enemy territory, through Hill 683 to the village of Nuron-ni

letter of apology in their daily editions, in which they accused themselves of the media's judicial murder. The book and film rights for Lorenz was secured by Stern magazine. The price guaranteed him the coverage of his lawyer's fees. The murders also triggered a political discussion about the weapons law. The two deputies to the National Council Robert Lichal and Harald Ofner called for a tightening of the weapons law, while Interior Minister Erwin Lanc and deputy Hans Hobl emphasized that laws alone cannot prevent such bloody acts. It was criticized that there are strict requirements for the acquisition of handguns, but extremely liberal for the acquisition of long guns such as pump action shotguns and carbines. However, with the introduction of a firearms license, more than 1.2 million gun owners would have to be prosecuted, and then an increase in the illegal arms trade was feared, so the laws remained untouched. The murder weapon, together with original newspaper reports, can be seen in the Vienna Crime Museum. In addition, the case of Günter Lorenz was examined in the book Traces of Evil.

Elise Sørensen (Kalundborg, July 2, 1903 – Ordrup, July 5, 1977) was a Danish nurse and the inventor of the colostomy bag. In 1954 her sister had an ostomy operation (a procedure that takes the end of the intestine out through the abdomen, allowing waste to exit via a surgically created stoma). After the operation, Sørensen's sister was uncomfortable going outside due to fear that stoma might leak, due to the metal/glass capsules or fabric/rubber bags that people used at the time. Sørensen then created the world's first disposable ostomy bag attachable through an adhesive ring, very similar to the devices used today.

military and Red Cross talks. Both Koreas also agreed to reopen a liaison office located within a factory park in Kaesong which had been jointly operated by the countries as an economic zone until the South shut it down in February 2016 after a North Korean nuclear test. The first talks involving the Red Cross and military were then held at North Korea's Mount Kumgang resort on 22 June 2018 and during the talks, it was agreed that family reunions which had been cancelled in 2015 would resume between 20 and 26 August 2018. The first family unions since the end of the Korean War then took place on 20 August when about 330 South Koreans from 89 families, many in wheelchairs, embraced 185 separated relatives from the North at the Mount Kumgang resort, also known as Diamond Mountain. South Korean members of these families returned home on August 22. Between August 24 and August 26, a second round of family reunions occurred when a total of 326 South Koreans from 81 families traveled to Mount Kumgang to meet nearly 100 of their long-separated relatives from the North. On 14 September, the Inter-Korean Liaison Office opened at the Kaesong park location. September 2018 Summit On 13 August, it was announced that a third 2018 inter-Korean summit would be held in the North Korean capital of Pyongyang in September.

discovery story in her 2007 book An Intimate Affair: Women, Lingerie, and Sexuality, noting that it is emblematic of "the American Dream fulfilled ... Because of her, being discovered at a soda fountain has become almost as cherished an ideal as being born in a log cabin." "The Sweater Girl" Following her feature film debut in Mervyn LeRoy's They Won't Forget (1937), Turner was the first woman to receive the nickname the "Sweater Girl" due to her form-fitting attire which accentuated her bust. Though she herself detested the nickname, it was one with which she became synonymous over the duration of her career, and it would come to be applied to several actresses throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Several years after the release of They Won't Forget, Modern Screen journalist Nancy Squires wrote an extensive article on Turner, in which she noted that she had "made a sweater look like something Cleopatra was saving for the next visiting Caesar." Turner's rise to fame and establishment as a Hollywood sex symbol following They Won't Forget was concurrent with World War II, and she became a prominent pin-up model at the time, appearing painted on the noses of U.S. fighter planes bearing the title "Tempest Turner." MGM appointed her to tour the United States West Coast and sell war bonds in various cities in the summer of 1942. During the tour, Turner began giving out kisses to the highest buyers, and by the end of the 10-week tour, had sold $5.25 million (equivalent to $ million in ) in war bonds. Depictions in art One of the earliest popular culture references to Turner is in Frank Sinatra's 1944 recorded version of "Nancy (with the Laughing Face)." During this time, Turner and Sinatra had been carrying on a romantic affair. She would later be named in Nina Simone's 1958 version of the song "My Baby Just Cares for Me," which appeared on her album Little Girl Blue. In 1962, writer Harold Robbins published the novel Where Love Has Gone, which was inspired by the scandal surrounding Turner after her daughter, Cheryl Crane, stabbed her lover, Johnny Stompanato, to death during a domestic struggle in their Beverly Hills home. A film adaptation of the novel was made in 1964. In response to the release of the novel and film, Turner told a journalist: "I suppose I'll be getting bugged by that question." The same

Mira Benjamin (born in Vancouver, British Columbia) is a Canadian violinist and researcher. She currently lives in London. She was a member of the Quatuor Bozzini from 2011–2014. Benjamin appears regularly with the London-based ensemble Apartment House, directed by Anton Lukoszevieze, and appears on multiple releases by that group on the Another Timbre label, including albums of music by composers such as Martin Arnold, Linda Catlin Smith, Jürg Frey, Chiyoko Szlavniks, Richard Glover, and Isaiah Ceccarelli. She is co-director of nu:nord, a community-building project-based music and performing art network that connects practitioners in Canada, Norway and the United Kingdom. She also works with the London Contemporary Orchestra and appears on albums including Radiohead's A Moon Shaped Pool Composer collaborations Her collaboration with composer James Weeks resulted in an hour-long piece for solo violin called windfell, described by the composer as having arisen...from the image of a violin played by the wind, the bow and strings set in motion without human mediation. windfell is a high, remote place, a wind-hill: the setting both for a gradual sounding-out of the instrument and a contemplation of the relationship between instrument and player, between sound, space and time, and between humanity and our environment.She has also worked with Cassandra Miller, who, making use of Benjamin's 'down-to-earth, no-nonsense gritty focus' wrote for mira, which is an arrangement for violin of a transcription of an acoustic performance of Kurt Cobain singing Where did you sleep last night. Her work with composer Scott McLaughlin began with his string quartet, a metastable harmony (2012), written for the Quatuor Bozzini while Benjamin was a member, and was furthered with The Endless Mobility of Listening for violin and electronics. McLaughlin writes of the work:This piece is based on the same string technique of drone-bowing on open strings to reveal upper partials, with the listening aspect now shifted to using a footswitch to trigger the electronics to ‘capture’ the current partial. The electronics infinitely sustain the briefly isolated partials in an ever-growing ‘tapestry’ of harmony as the detuning changes the environment.Anna Höstman wrote Water Walking, for solo violin, for Benjamin. The piece is inspired by the Anishinaabe Migration Water Walk from Matane, Quebec to Madeline Island, Wisconsin. Luke Nickel wrote his [factory] for Benjamin, the first of his scores that play on the use of the performer memory and risk.

Johann Crüger composed a melody to fit and published it, first with the incipit "Lobet den Herren alle, die ihn fürchten" (... who fear him), in 1653 in the fifth edition of his hymnal Praxis Pietatis Melica, in a section "Tägliche Morgengesänge" (daily morning songs). It is part of many hymnals in German. Georg Thurmair included it as one of several songs by Protestant authors in his hymnal Kirchenlied in 1938 in the section Morning. It is part of the Protestant Evangelisches Gesangbuch (1995) as EG 447, and the Catholic Gotteslob (2013), as GL 81, however without stanzas 4, 5 and 9. The first line decorates a plaque for Paul Gerhardt at the Nikolaikirche in Berlin where he was minister. Text The poem has ten stanzas, each with three lines of eleven syllables and final line of five syllables, always the same picking up the first call, "Lobet den Herren". This Strophe format was often used in poetry of German Humanism and Baroque, and was called Sapphic stanza. It is also used in hymns such as "Herzliebster Jesu" by Johann Heermann. The rhyming is unconventional, rhyming within the two halves of the first line, but leaving the final line without rhyme. All new hymnals change in the first line "fürchten" to "ehren" to comply with the scheme. The repeated line "Lobet den Herren" has the same function as the biblical Hallelujah: both a call to praise, and the praise. Gerhardt uses it for a morning prayer, beginning the day with praise, motivated in stanzas 2 to 5 by thanks for protection from dangers of the night. They may have been inspired by dangers experienced in the Thirty Years' War. Stanzas 6 to 9 are a prayer for further for guidance on a way following divine sommandments, expecting the second coming of Christ ("deiner Zukunft"). The last stanza envisions, in an eschatological outlook, the ultimate praise in community with the

10% by the end of 1982. However this voluntary compliance in affirmative action did not address the community's needs specifically, nor its lack of leadership. In May 1982, Carlos Pineiro, a government official of Puerto Rico's Migration Division in Hartford, began publicly urging Mayor Proulx to put a moratorium on all Community Development Block Grants until such time that a Hispanic Affairs Office was established to address the city's poor housing conditions and provide greater youth programs for Hispanic youth. At the time, Proulx would reject this call, citing that current block grants had already received approval for that year, and went on to state that he saw no need for such a commission. By 1984 the political landscape led Proulx to change on this issue, and on February 27, 1984 he appointed a six member Commission on Hispanic Affairs, to act as liaisons for important issues facing the community. Among new community coalitions was Nueva Esperanza. In the wake of a wave of arson, demolitions used with community development money, selectively enforced building codes, and a high infant mortality rate, a number of organizations including the Valley Opportunity Council, HAPHousing, and Brightwood Development Corporation set aside funds for purchase of one such neglected building and the hiring of a director, one Miguel Arce. Incorporated on July 28, 1982, the community development corporation made its official debut to the city government on April 1, 1983, with plans to purchase and rehabilitate two troubled properties in South Holyoke. By 1987 the organization had renovated and leased seven buildings or 59 units to tenants. Nueva Esperanza's mission, though initially dealing in improving housing conditions for the Puerto Rican community and South Holyoke's poor, gradually incorporated the work of developing neighborhood leadership. Around this same time, a higher infant mortality rate, and the onset of the AIDS epidemic, both of which had a disparate effect on minorities, including the Puerto Rican population, led to the establishment of the Coalition of Spanish Speaking Providers. This organization, eventually renamed the Holyoke Latino Community Coalition, represented part of the maturation of institutions in the community, bringing health professionals like Sue Tenorio and Orlando Isaza, two of its key figures, to connect the disenfranchised community with a difficult to navigate healthcare establishment. Contemporary history and culture While there would not be a prominent Puerto Rican presence in politics until the end of the 20th century, since the

Julee Cerda (born January 29, 1978) is a South Korean born American actress who resides in New York. Biography Born in South Korea to a Korean mother and Dominican father, Julee Cerda was raised simultaneously in New York and the Dominican Republic. While in high school, her class took a field trip to see the Broadway production of Les Misérables where Cerda stated she was "floored" by the production. This show convinced her to take a career in acting. She later attended Marist College and participated in comedy troupes such as Upright Citizens Brigade and Tangana!, the latter of which she was a founding member. She moved on to acting in advertisements, but wished to move on to other wider acting roles stating, "There will always be a reason not to do something. I had a lot of student loan debt for a career in advertising. There were a lot of lows getting to the point where I am today. There are still lows that I deal with. But not listening to your true self will beat you up, and you can either bury it or let it thrive." Cerda has been among actors and actresses of mixed ethnicity who have found it difficult working in the Hollywood system. "I don't fit 100% into any category. I'm an American, but casting directors don't always see me as that. I'm often looked at as the 'other', but it's getting better because people of color are working to make it better." Cerda began booking roles in high-profile television productions such as Homeland, Orange Is the New Black, House of Cards and Nurse Jackie. She also gained recognition for starring in the Broadway revival of Children of a Lesser God and Smart People. She also has a role in the second season of Marvel's Iron Fist, which is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Cerda was cast in the Disney+ series, The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers, which premiered on March 26, 2021. Personal life Cerda is married and has one child. She also runs a fashion blog on the side called Attached to the Hip.

The South Sakhalin-Kurile mixed forests ecoregion (WWF ID: PA0438) is split between the southwest region of Sakhalin Island, and the southern three islands of the Kurile Islands chain in the Russian Far East. The ecoregion is in the Palearctic realm, with a Humid Continental climate. It covers . Location and description The Sakhalin Island side of the ecoregion faces the Sea of Japan to the west, and the Okhotsk Sea to the east. Being on the southern end of the island, plant life is denser and more varied. The Kurile Islands side of the ecoregion has high levels of biodiversity, reflecting the islands' position along the meeting of warm and cold sea currents (the Pacific Ocean and Okhotsk Sea, respectively). The resulting richness of marine life attracts large colonies of marine birds. The ecoregion in the Kurils is defined as the southern three islands: Kunashir Island, Iturup, and Shikotan. These islands were connected to the Japanese island of Hokkaido during the most recent glacial period, and unlike the northern two thirds of the Kuriles are not icebound in winter. Climate The region has a Humid continental climate - Hot summer sub-type (Köppen climate classification Dfa), with large seasonal temperature differentials and a hot summer (at least one month averaging over , and mild winters. Flora and fauna The area is characterized by high biodiversity because of the relatively mild climate, transition-zone placement, and island location. The flora of the southern Kuriles is closely related to that of Hokkaido, and endemism is low. A dominant floral community in the southern Kuriles is the bamboo thicket. Snow falling on the evergreen bamboo thickets in winter insulate the understory, which is relatively empty but abounding in shrews, mice and other rodents. These animals also thrive in the high-growth thickets, typified by white clover and "Sakhalin buckwheat" (Reynoutrua sachalinensis). Although plant communities are favorable to rodents, a noteworthy feature of the animal life in the southern Kuriles is the predominance of predator species, such as fox, sable, and bear, which have had to develop broader sources of food, particular marine sources on the coasts. Salmon are abundant in the streams. Protections Notable protected areas of the Russian Federation in the ecoregion include: Kurils Nature Reserve, which covers the north and south regions of Kunashir Island in the Kurils. (Area: 654 km2) This is an IUCN class Ia "strict ecological reserves" (Zapovednik). See also List

Albert Röhr, and Hans-Otto Steinmetz stated that "why no one objected to the building of this ship cannot be determined from the record." They suggested that Caprivi's inexperience, since he had just replaced Stosch, contributed to the decision to allow construction to proceed. They also argued that inconclusive debates in the Reichstag (Imperial Diet) over the needs of the navy pressured the Admiralität into adhering to the plan despite the obvious shortcomings of the design. Characteristics Nixe was long at the waterline and long overall. She had a beam of and a draft of forward and . She displaced as designed and up to at full load. The ship's hull was constructed with transverse iron frames with one layer of wood planks, which were sheathed with copper to prevent biofouling on extended cruises abroad, where shipyard facilities were not readily available. Her hull was divided into nine watertight compartments. The ship's crew consisted of 27 officers and 331 enlisted men, though as a training ship later in her career, her complement amounted to 17 officers and 354 sailors, of whom 125 were naval cadets. She carried a variety of small boats, including one picket boat, one launch, three (later two) cutters, two yawls, and two (later one) dinghies. Steering was controlled with a single rudder. The vessel was a very poor sea boat, and yawed badly when running before the wind; without her sails, the rudder had to be kept at 5–10 degrees to the leeward side to keep the ship on a straight course. She also lost significant speed in a head sea. Machinery The ship was powered by a 2-cylinder marine steam engine that drove a single shaft with one 2-bladed screw propeller. Steam was provided by two coal-fired fire-tube boilers, which were ducted into a retractable funnel. The ship was designed for a top speed of at , though she reached at on speed trials. Coal storage amounted to . She had a cruising radius of at a speed of , though this fell to at . As built, Nixe was equipped with a full ship rig to supplement their steam engines on overseas cruising missions, though this was later reduced. Armament Nixe was armed with a battery of eight L/23 breech-loading guns, two of which were later removed; these were supplied with a total of 800 shells. These guns had a range of . Later in

Matthew Bridges (14 July 1800 – 6 October 1894) was a British-Canadian hymnodist. Life Bridges was born in Essex, England on 14 July 1800, the youngest son of John Bridges of Maldon, Essex; the Rev Charles Bridges, a priest of the Church of England. He matriculated at Magdalen Hall, Oxford in 1831. Matthew Bridges' career as an author began with his poem Jerusalem Regained at the age of 25 in 1825. Although in his early life Bridges (who was raised in a Church of England environment) was sceptical of Roman Catholicism as evidenced by his 1828 book The Roman Empire Under Constantine the Great, the influence of John Henry Cardinal Newman led him to convert to Roman Catholicism in 1848 at the age of 48, a faith to which he adhered for the remaining four-and-a-half decades of his life. Later in life, Bridges lived for a time in Quebec, Canada, but returned to England and died in Sidmouth, Devon on 6 October 1894 at the age of 94. He is buried there in the cemetery of the Convent of the Assumption. Works Some of the more popular hymns written by Bridges include: Behold the Lamb of God! O Thou for sinners slain.

Stiletto Peak is a 7,660 ft summit located in the Methow Mountains, a sub-range of the North Cascades in Washington state. It is situated in the Stephen Mather Wilderness on a ridge which also has Switchblade Peak and Jackknife Peak to its east. Stiletto Peak is also located on the boundary of North Cascades National Park, due north of Hock Mountain. Precipitation runoff on the north side of the mountain drains into Bridge Creek via Copper Creek, whereas the south side of the mountain drains into the East Fork Bridge Creek. Climate 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. 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, 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.

Nebo Moskvy, () (aka The Moscow Sky and Moscow Skies) is a 1944 Soviet drama film directed by Yuli Raizman. The film is a Soviet-era wartime film depicting the air defence of Moscow in 1941. Plot In September 1941, Lt. Ilya Streltsov (Pyotr Aleynikov), says goodbye to his parents, Streltsov's father (Nikolai Shamin) and mother (Aleksandra Salnikova). After graduating from a flying school, Streltsov goes to the air regiment consisting of fighter pilots that defend Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union. The air regiment is under the command of Lt. Col. Balashev (Nikolay Bogolyubov). Streltsov's love is Zoya Vladimirovna (Nina Mazaeva) who serves as a combat medic in the same unit. He thinks that she is more interested in decorated aces than in a rookie. Capt. Goncharov (Pyotr Sobolevsky), Sr. Lt. Cherbina (Ivan Kuznetsov) and Sr. Lt. Solovyov (Evgeniy Nemchenko) have already become heroes. Soon Streltsov proves to be a skilled and brave pilot, and he is convinced that Zoya still loves him. Cast Pyotr Aleynikov as Lt.

angels. Melody and musical settings Johann Crügers in C major responds to the positive mood of the text. By changes of quarternotes and halfnotes, the rhythm of the Sapphic stanza is hidden. Crüger added a figured bass in his editions. The melody had baroque expressivity, but it often changed in modern editions, as also a syncope at the end of the third line. Among the settings of the song is a cantata by Gustav Gunsenheimer for soloists, choir and instruments to his own melody.

Iosevka () is a monospace programming typeface, built declaratively using custom typeface generation software, and with an emphasis on compatibility with CJK characters. It is available under a FOSS license. The default builds are available in two styles of nine weights each, and come with italic and oblique versions. The typeface was designed, however, to be easily configurable by editing textual TOML configuration files in the custom generation software. The character repertoire covers a significant portion of the Basic Multilingual Plane of Unicode, and a few characters from the Enclosed Alphanumeric Supplement block. History The first version of Iosevka, then named codexHW, was created on 19 July 2015, and renamed to Iosevka three days later. It is the product of Chinese typographer Renzhi Li, using the Romanised pseudonym Belleve Invis. Features Iosevka once was a condensed font only, suitable to use with double width CJK characters, using a slashed zero by default. It contains many ligatures, especially suited towards functional programming languages such as Coq, Idris, and Haskell. The variant Iosevka Term is designed to better support terminals and the variant Iosevka Fixed omits the ligatures. It also comes with OpenType features including stylistic sets and character variants. A second width variant (oddly named Extended) expands all glyphs to easier readable proportions (7 by 10), and also proportionally spaced font variants are included now. Notably, all variants of the Iosevka font family cover the same set of 5013 unicode character points, plus 4 long arrows which do not belong to all variants. Build process One major characteristic of Iosevka is that it is generated from declarative data files using a multi-phase build process. It was originally created as a typeface that could be used with a package called node-sfnt: As I maintaining node-sfnt , a low-level library used to parse and generate TTFs in Node.JS, I decided to make a programming font using it. Iosevka is generated from a program written by me, as well as a set of parameters, pretty like Computer Modern, but in a more modern way. [...] [C]reating a font actually needs a domain-specific language, like Knuth's METAFONT language. With PatEL's macro system I can easily turn PatEL into a DSL while remaining its full ability of programming. The PatEL is in another repository I created, though not documented yet. It's syntax is basically a Lisp with improvements reducing brackets (by using colons and indents), and

at the university, he was eventually able to switch to a more appropriate curriculum package. He also found time to take plenty of casual work in film and television production, and when there was no casual work he could sometimes be found in a dark corner at the Burgtheater during rehearsals, watching and learning. While still a student Reinhard Schwabenitzky married. His son, Markus, was born a year later: his daughter, Martina, two years after that. During his student years, relations with his mother's new husband were frosty, and Schwabenitzky became unwilling to accept financial support from home. He was able to find work as a director's assistant with Axel Corti, Franz Antel and Bernhard Wicki, and also worked as a cameraman on a television series and for various television commercials. He produced his own "graduation film" two years before the end of his course, and managed to have the film, "Die Lebensaufgabe" (loosely, "The Tasks of Life") shown on Austrian Television. This led to his first commission as a movie director and the production of "Schwester Martha verzichtet auf ihr Glück" (loosely "Sister Martha renounces her good fortune"). The success of this satirical piece led to a second commission, "Die Entführung einer unmuendigen Person" (loosely "The kidnapping of an irresponsible party"), a forty minute television film, and "Salz der Erde" ("Salt of the earth"). He also won a screenplay competition. The success of "Salz der Erde" triggered another television film commission, resulting in the television series "Ein echter Wiener geh nicht unter" (loosely, "You can't keep a true Viennese down", 1975-1977). By March 1975, when he took his final degree exams in Camera work and film directing, he was already a highly successful film director. Press reports highlighted the unusual situation, also asserting (incorrectly) that he had passed his degree exams "with honours". Meanwhile further successful film productions followed. With "Ein echter Wiener geh nicht unter" Schwabenitzky won the German Goldene Kamera award. Citing restrictive factors affecting his career with Austrian Television he now relocated to Munich in what was then West Germany. His professional career went from strength to strength but his first marriage foundered. He was nevertheless able to maintain close contact with his two children.

and disseminate Yiddish socialist literature. In 1909, Feigenbaum chaired a meeting on whether to strike, held inside the Great Hall of Cooper Union. After hours and multiple speakers cautioned against striking, a Yiddish-speaking shirtwaist worker named Clara Lemlich made her way to the podium and declared "I move that we go on a general strike!" to which the crowd roared enthusiastically. Feigenbaum asked the crowd to take an biblically inspired oath "If I turn traitor to the cause I now pledge, may my hand wither from the arm I now raise", which subsequently led to the largest women's strike in US history. Police retaliation Feigenbaum was arrested during a brawl with the police on October 29, 1892, shortly after giving a speech in Philadelphia. He was charged with inciting to riot, assaulting an officer and breaching the peace after allegedly hitting an officer with his cane. He was held on $600 bail. In Providence, he was charged with inciting to riot, charges which were later dismissed by a judge during trial in a higher court. In January, 1905, Providence police received a tip that an "anarchist provocateur" was scheduled to speak. Police surrounded the designated venue, disabled the gas and cited the lack of permit to shut the event down. The sponsors of the lecture, the Providence branch of the Workmen's Circle obtained the relevant permits and scheduled another venue for Feigenbaum to speak at. If Hyman Goldsmith, a Yiddish-speaking undercover police officer heard Feigenbaum mention anything about "Emma Goldmanism" or “bomb throwing” the hall was to be cleared immediately by other undercover police in the crowd. Instead, Feigenbaum orated for two hours and 15 minutes about the compatibility of religion and socialism, in sharp contrast with his past anti-theist recitals. The police were ridiculed the following day by The Daily Journal, The Evening Bulletin, and The Providence Telegram. Criticism of Zionism and religion Feigenbaum was highly critical of Zionism and the usage of biblical scriptures in promoting "socialist spiritualization". In the Yiddish article, 'Materialism in Judaism or Religion and Life' (1896), Feigenbaum criticized using the Bible as "propaganda", noting that if Jeremiah did not know Marx, then it was disingenuous to claim that Marxism is part of a prophetic tradition. In 'Vi Kumt a yid tsu sotsyialismus''' (How does a Jew come to socialism?), Feigenbaum wrote "Yes, brothers, socialism is redemption for us, the Jews. Socialism will rescue all

White Revolution was a Neo-Nazi hate group that was active in Arkansas from 2002 to 2011. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, "White Revolution is a neo-Nazi group that employs the most violent language and works with some of the most virulent leaders in the world of white supremacy, while claiming to remain legal." The group was founded by Billy Joe Roper Jr., a neo-Nazi activist who identifies himself as a "Balkanizer" and a "Purity Spiraler". He founded White Revolution in 2002 as an anti-Semitic group promoting white interests. Roper now leads the ShieldWall Network, a white nationalist organization with the goal of building a white ethno-state.

Council of New South Wales on 2 October 1986, approved the removal of the organ from the Darlinghurst site, and installation of it in the church at 11 School Road, Galston. It was then decided to offer the Telford and Telford organ from the St Albans church (with some refurbishment) for sale. St Mark's Anglican Church, Granville, purchased the organ for $20,000. The removal of the Fosters and Andrews organ was carried out between November 1986 and February 1987. It was stored for refurbishment, and this long and laborious task continued over the next six years. Galston Uniting Church was opened and dedicated on 22 October 1988, and the organ was gradually installed thereafter. The majority of the work was done by volunteers over seven years, with over 3,000 person hours of work. Supervision of the work was by Brown and Arkley, with the consultant for the Heritage Council of New South Wales being Christopher Dearnley. The final installation detail, tuning and voicing has been undertaken by Ian Brown and Associates. The organ has been fully refurbished and installed in its new location, and the specification is unchanged from when it was built. On 6 June 1993 the organ was re-dedicated. Prayers were added to that of the Baxter sisters who at the original dedication on 12 June 1888, prayed that "the organ will ever be used for the purpose for which it has primarily been given, namely to glorify God by assisting the congregation to sing His praises."

The Dr. Mary B. Moody House, also known as Chetstone, is a historic house at 154 East Grand Avenue in New Haven, Connecticut. Built in 1875, it is one of the city's finest examples of residential Carpenter Gothic architecture, and was home to Dr. Mary Blair Moody, one of the first female physicians to practice in the city. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. Description and history The Dr. Mary B. Moody House is located in New Haven's eastern Fair Haven Heights neighborhood, on the north side of East Grand Avenue near the top of the eponymous high ground. The house is set on less than one acre of land, fringed at the street by a low stone retaining wall with posts at the entrances. The house is a visually rich wood-frame structure, with the irregular massing typical of the Queen Anne period. Dominant features of the -story structure are a three-story tower with a flared pyramidal roof, and a porch that extends across most of the front and one side. Gables are adorned with Stick style elements, and some windows have shallow pointed tops. The house was built in 1875, and was the home of Lucius and Dr. Mary Blair Moody from the 1880s until the early 20th century. Lucius Moody was an insurance executive, and Mary Moody was the first female to attend the University of Buffalo (now SUNY Buffalo) Medical School, graduating in 1876. Contrary to typical Victorian expectations, she then engaged in a career as a physician, while also raising a family. She was one of the first female physicians in New Haven. The house suffered some wind damage in Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and a Federal disaster relief grant of $150,000 was used to fix the roof and gutters.

Marie-Jules Dupré (25 November 1813 – 8 February 1881) was a French admiral. He was governor of Réunion from 1865 to 1869 under the Second French Empire, and governor of Cochinchina from 1871 to 1874 under the French Third Republic. He negotiated a treaty with the Emperor of Vietnam that opened up the country to French commerce and ceded territory in the south to France. Life Early career (1813–54) Marie-Jules Dupré was born on 25 November 1813 in Albi, Tarn. His father was an army officer. He attended the École Navale and graduated in 1831 as a midshipman. In 1847 Dupré was promoted to lieutenant commander. He fought in the Antilles between 1848 and 1851. Commander and Admiral (1854–71) Dupré was promoted to commander in 1854. He fought in the Crimean War, then served in the expeditions to Syria and Saigon. In 1861 Dupré concluded a commercial treaty with Radama II, King of Madagascar. He was Governor of Réunion from 1864 to 1869. As governor of Réunion he was always helpful to scientific researchers, and in return the Madagascan fruit bat (Eidolon dupreanum) was named in his honour. In 1867 he was promoted to rear admiral. In 1870 Dupré participated in the French blockade of Chinese and Japanese ports. The French were trying to keep these ports closed to the Germans. Dupré was present at the Tianjin Massacre. Cochinchina (1871–74) Dupré was Governor of Cochinchina from 1 April 1871 to 16 March 1874. The French were recovering from the Franco-Prussian War, saw little value in the colony of Cochinchina and were against expanding their colonial empire. Dupré disagreed, and saw great potential for France in Vietnam. He strengthened the Native Affairs Service, promoted primary education and introduced compulsory vaccination. He established new schools including the Collège de Stagiaires, in which Annamese officials were trained for the French administration. He preferred to avoid major changes to the local laws, based on the Chinese system, since this could cause unrest and possibly revolt. Despite several requests by Dupré the French government did not want to further extend their power in the region. In 1873 the Vietnamese objected to use of the Red River route to China by the French trader Jean Dupuis. Dupré ignored government instructions and dispatched Francis Garnier with a naval force to Hanoi, where it captured the Imperial Citadel of Thăng Long. Dupré was concerned that British and German

Gymnastikos Syllogos Larissas 1928 B.C. (Greek: Γυμναστικός Σύλλογος Λάρισας 1928 K.A.E.), commonly known as Gymnastikos S. Larissas, G.S. Larissas, or G.S.L., is a Greek professional basketball club that is based in Larissa, Greece. The club’s colors are green, white, and blue, and its emblem is the Discobolus. The club is known for being the first professional club team of the legendary European basketball player, Vassilis Spanoulis. History Gymnastikos S. Larissas was originally founded in 1928, and it was the first basketball club of the city of Larissa, that played in the top-tier level Greek Basket League (A1 National). In 1979, basketball coach Giannis Ioannidis, after winning the top-tier Greek League championship with Aris, surprisingly agreed to become the head coach of Gymnastikos. Gymnastikos was in the B National (at that time, the Greek 2nd division) at the time, and had great aspirations of being promoted to the top-tier Greek league. After Ioannidis' team went undefeated in the Greek 2nd Division during the 1979–80 campaign, the team was promoted to the top division in 1980. From that time, and through the 2005–06 season, the club played several times in the top-tier Greek League (in the 1980–81, 1981–82, 1982–83, 1983–84, 1984–85, 1992–93, 1993–94, 1994–95, 1995–96, 1996–97, 1997–98, and 2005–06 seasons). The club's best season to date was the 1994–95 season, when under head coach Vangelis Alexandris' guidance, they almost earned a qualification place in the 3rd-tier European-wide league, the FIBA Korać Cup. They were ultimately denied a place in the Korać Cup by Sporting, by just one point (86–85), in the play-off decider game that determined which team qualified for Korać Cup. Gymnastikos later suffered relegation to the Greek second division in 1998, but against all odds, they returned to the top flight Greek league in 2005. Despite the club's low budget, they had a good season in the top-tier Greek League, during the 2005–06 season. However, due to financial problems, the club was merged with AEL 1964, in 2006, which again ended its presence in Greece's top basketball league. Also in 2006, Keravnos Larissa, the club's feeder team, changed their name to Keravnos Gymnastikos, as a reminder of the club's past glory days. Eventually, 9 years later, in 2015, Gymnastikos returned to existence, after merging with another other local club of Larissa, Foinix Larissas. Foinix Larissas had been founded in 1995, and in the previous season, it had played in the

Anton Yuriyovych Gerashchenko (, born 10 February 1979) is a current official advisor and a former deputy minister at the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs. He is a former member of the Ukrainian parliament (Verkhovna Rada) (2014–2019) and was the subject of an assassination attempt in part because of his actions. Biography When Arsen Avakov became the Minister of Internal Affairs in 2014, Gerashchenko became his adviser. In this role, Herashchenko briefed journalists about the formation of the Donbas Battalion, the Azov Battalion, and the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. Gerashchenko was elected to parliament in the 26 October 2014 Ukrainian parliamentary election, representing the People's Front in the multi-mandate nationwide district, he was placed 21st (as an independent candidate) on the party's election list. Herashchenko was one of the founders of a database of separatists called "Myrotvorets" (Peacekeeper). He was secretary of the Verkhovna Rada (Ukraine's national parliament) Committee on Legislative Support of Law Enforcement. In parliament one of his assistant-consultants (on a voluntary basis) was the future Interior Minister (he was appointed this in July 2021) Denys Monastyrsky. In January 2017, it was announced that the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) had prevented an assassination attempt against Gerashchenko. The SBU had had the two assassins under surveillance for over a month and arrested them in the act with an explosive device in their possession. The SBU stated that the assassins had been in prison in the Russian-occupied Crimea, until they agreed to assassinate Gerashchenko. The SBU claim that the assassins were coordinated by Andrey Tikhonov. Tikhonov currently lives in Belgorod in Russia, and used to be a Ukrainian citizen, who had fought against Ukraine on the side of the Luhansk People's Republic. After the July 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, Gerashchenko did not return to parliament because he did not take part in the election. On 25 September 2019, the Cabinet of Ministers appointed him one of six or seven deputy ministers at the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The minister was Arsen Avakov. After Avakov stepped down as Interior Minister on 15 July 2021 Gerashchenko became an official advisor for the new minister Denys Monastyrsky. (Although) on 4 August 2021 he was dismissed as deputy minister. Late September 2021 Gerashchenko was appointed the coordinator of the new "Office for Business Protection" within the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
