Drymoanthus
|
Drymoanthus, commonly known as midget orchids is a genus of epiphytic orchids in the family Orchidaceae. Plants in this genus are relatively small and unbranched with thick roots, narrow crowded leaves and small scented green flowers with a white labellum. There are four species, found in Australia, New Zealand and New Caledonia.DescriptionOrchids in the genus Drymoanthus are small, unbranched, epiphytic herbs with thick roots, a thin stem, narrow, crowded, thin, leathery leaves and small, short-lived green flowers with a white labellum. The sepals and petals are similar to each other although the petals are slightly shorter. The labellum is white, boat-shaped, unlobed and stiffly attached to the column.Taxonomy and namingThe genus Drymoanthus was first formally described in 1943 by William Henry Nicholls and the description was published in The Victorian Naturalist.
Four species are accepted by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families:<ref name="WCSP" />
*Drymoanthus adversus <small>(Hook.f.) Dockrill</small> - New Zealand including Chatham Island
*Drymoanthus flavus <small>St.George & Molloy</small> - New Zealand

Anicius Auchenius Bassus (consul 431)
|
Anicius Auchenius Bassus}}
Flavius Anicius Auchenius Bassus (fl. 425–435) was a high official of the Western Roman Empire. He was appointed as consul by the Western court with Antiochus Chuzon as a colleague. In 435 he held for the second time the office of praetorian prefect of Italy.
Biography
Bassus belonged to the noble gens Anicia; his father was the Anicius Auchenius Bassus who was consul in 408.
In 425 he held the rank of comes rerum privatarum at the Western court; the following year was praetorian prefect, perhaps of Italy.
He made accusations against Pope Sixtus III; when Emperor Valentinian III learned of these accusations, he ordered a synod to be convoked, at which the accusations were investigated and the Pope cleared by 56 bishops.

Elythranthera
|
Elythranthera, commonly known as enamel orchids, is a genus of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. It contains two species and a named hybrid, all endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. The genus was first formally described in 1963 by the Australian botanist Alex George who published his description in Western Australian Naturalist.
Two species are recognised:
Elythranthera brunonis (Endl.) A.S.George - purple enamel orchid;
Elythranthera emarginata (Lindl.) A.S.George - pink enamel orchid.
A hybrid between the two species was known as Elythranthera x intermedia. (Fitzg.) M.A.Clem
In 2015, as a result of studies of molecular phylogenetics, Mark Clements transferred the two Elythranthera species to Caladenia but the change is not accepted by the Australian Plant Census, nor by the Western Australian Herbarium.
Plants of the World Online lists Elythranthera as a synonym of Caladenia.

}}
Yoram Reuben Hazony (; born 1964) is an Israeli-American philosopher, Bible scholar, and political theorist. He is president of the Herzl Institute in Jerusalem and serves as the chairman of the Edmund Burke Foundation. He has argued for national conservatism in his 2018 book The Virtue of Nationalism and 2022's Conservatism: A Rediscovery.
Biography
Yoram Hazony was born in Rehovot, Israel, and moved with his family to Princeton, New Jersey, US. He was raised and educated in the United States and returned to live in Israel after finishing university. Hazony received his BA from Princeton University in East Asian studies in 1986 and his PhD from Rutgers University in political philosophy in 1993. While a junior at Princeton, he founded the Princeton Tory, a magazine for moderate and conservative thought. He is the brother of David Hazony and Daniel Hazony. He married Yael Fulton, an American whom he met at Princeton, and she moved to Israel with him. The couple live in Jerusalem and have nine children.
Academic and journalistic career
Hazony founded the Shalem Center in Jerusalem in 1994 and was president and then provost until 2012. He designed the curriculum for Shalem College, Israel's first liberal arts college, established in 2013. Hazony has served as director of the John Templeton Foundation's project in Jewish Philosophical Theology and as a member of the Israel Council for Higher Education committee examining general studies programs in Israel's universities and colleges.
He authors a blog on philosophy, politics, Judaism, Israel, and higher education, called Jerusalem Letters. Hazony has published in outlets including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and American Affairs.Religious and political views
Hazony is a Modern Orthodox Jew and relates his views on Open Orthodoxy in an article published in 2014. In it, he states that he fears that Open Orthodoxy is acting as an ideological echo chamber in which any unapproved views are ridiculed and quashed without debate. Hazony describes his concern that elements of Open Orthodoxy have seemingly decided to accept all conclusions of academic Bible critics as indisputable fact, without even going through the motions of investigating whether these conclusions are true.
Hazony is an outspoken Judeo-nationalist and has written that nationalism uniquely provides "the collective right of a free people to rule themselves". However, several critics of Hazony's 2018 book, The Virtue of Nationalism, maintain it is both theoretically inconsistent or incoherent and that it bears little relation to the historical body of nationalist thought. In a review for the Tel Aviv Review of Books, Yair Wallach argues that Hazony's 2020 book, A Jewish State: Herzl and the Promise of Nationalism, is characterised by "intellectual dishonesty", in part for presenting a selective account of Theodor Herzl's understanding of Zionism and nationalism.
Hazony organized and spoke at the National Conservatism Conference in England in May 2023. He told the event that the United Kingdom was plagued with woke "neo-Marxist" agitators who want to detach Britons from their entire past, and called for the return of military service.

Ericksonella saccharata
|
high. The flower is long and wide on a stalk less than long and has a strong, musky cinnamon scent but does not have any nectar. The two lateral sepals are about the same size and shape as the two petals and are white, long, wide and curve slightly forwards. The dorsal sepal is slightly narrower than the lateral ones and the sides of the top half are curved inwards or "pinched". The sepals and petals have dark-coloured glandular hairs on their back surface. As is usual in orchids, one petal is highly modified as the central labellum. The labellum is glabrous, divided into three parts, roughly circular when flattened, with the lateral lobes erect cream-coloured with obvious parallel purple lines and irregular purple blotches. The central part has smooth yellow calli in two rows. The sexual parts of the flower are fused to the column which is narrow, curved forwards and has two translucent wings. Flowering occurs from August to September and the fruit which follows is a non-fleshy, glabrous, dehiscent capsule containing a large number of seeds. In 2004, Stephen Hopper and Andrew Brown described the genus Ericksonella and included this species in the new genus. The specific epithet (saccharata) is derived from the Latin word saccharum meaning "sugary", referring to the shiny-white granular appearance of the flowers.ConservationSugar orchid (as Ericksonella saccharata) is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Parks and Wildlife.<ref name"FloraBase" />

Erythrorchis
|
Erythrorchis, commonly known as bootlace orchids or as 倒吊兰属 (dao diao lan shu), is a genus of two species of climbing, leafless orchids in the family Orchidaceae. Orchids in this genus are climbing or scrambling vines that cling by small roots, usually climbing on tree trunks. Many-branched flowering stems bear many densely crowded flowers.
Description
Orchids in the genus Erythrorchis are leafless mycotrophic, climbing herbs that cling to surfaces with small, unbranched roots from the main stems. They usually cling to tree trunks. Densely crowded, resupinate flowers are borne on a highly branched flowering stem. The sepals and petals are fleshy, often fused to each other and spread widely, the petals narrower than the sepals. The labellum is relatively wide and has crinkled edges and closely surrounds the column. The fruit are long, thin capsules.
Taxonomy and naming
The genus Erythrorchis was first formally described in 1837 by Carl Ludwig Blume and published in his book Rumphia. The name Erythrorchis is derived from the Ancient Greek words erythros meaning "red" and orchis meaning "testicle" or "orchid".<ref name="RWB" />
The two species are-<ref name="WCSP" />
*Erythrorchis altissima <small>(Blume) Blume</small> - Hainan, Taiwan, Cambodia, Assam, Indonesia, Ryukyu Islands, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam;
*Erythrorchis cassythoides <small>(R.Cunn. ex Lindl.) Garay</small> - Queensland, New South Wales.

Protestant ecclesiology
|
The term Protestant ecclesiology refers to the spectrum of teachings held by the Protestant Reformers concerning the nature and mystery of the invisible church that is known in Protestantism as the Christian Church.
Theology of grace
Martin Luther argued that because the Catholic church had "lost sight of the doctrine of grace", it had "lost its claim to be considered as the authenthic Christian church"; this argument was open to the counter-criticism from Catholics that he was thus guilty of schism and a Donatist position, and in both cases therefore opposing central teachings of Augustine of Hippo. Against denominationalism and schism Yet Luther, at least as late as 1519, argued against denominationalism and schism, and the Augsburg Confession of 1530 can be interpreted (e.g. by McGrath 1998) as conciliatory (others, e.g. Rasmussen and Thomassen 2007, marshalling evidence, argue that Augsburg was not conciliatory but clearly impossible for the Roman Catholic Church to accept ). "Luther's early views on the nature of the church reflect his emphasis on the Word of God: the Word of God goes forth conquering, and wherever it conquers and gains true obedience to God is the church."
Ecclesia sancta catholica
"Now, anywhere you hear or see such a word preached, believed, confessed, and acted upon, do not doubt that the true ecclesia sancta catholica, a 'holy Christian people' must be there..." "Luther's understanding of the church is thus functional, rather than historical: what legitimates a church or its office-bearers is not historical continuity with the apostolic church, but theological continuity."
Systematic ecclesiology
John Calvin is among those working, primarily after Martin Luther, in the second generation of Reformers, to develop a more systematic doctrine of the church (i.e. ecclesiology) in the face of the emerging reality of a split with the Catholic Church, with the failure of the ecumenical Colloquy of Regensburg in 1541, and the Council of Trent's condemnation in 1545 of "the leading ideas of Protestantism". Thus, Calvin's ecclesiology is progressively more systematic. Emphasis on the Sovereignty of God The second edition of Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion in 1539 holds that "the marks of the true church [are] that the Word of God should be preached, and that the sacraments be rightly administered". Later, Calvin developed the theory of the fourfold office of pastor, doctor (or teacher), elder, and deacon, possibly owing to the colleagueship with Martin Bucer and his own experience of leadership in church communities. Visible and invisible church Calvin also discusses the visible church and the invisible church; the visible church is the community of Christian believers; the invisible church is the fellowship of saints and the company of the elect; both must be honoured; "there is only one church, a single entity with Jesus Christ as its head" (McGrath); the visible church will include the good and the evil, a teaching found in the patristic tradition of Augustine and rooted in the divine teaching, recorded in the Gospel according to Matthew, of the Parable of the Tares (Mt 13:24-31); thus, Calvin held that it is "not the quality of its members, but the presence of the authorised means of grace, [that] constitutes a true church" (McGrath).
Concerns about fragmentation
Calvin was concerned to avoid further fragmentation, i.e. splits among the Evangelical churches: "I am saying that we should not desert a church on account of some minor disagreement, if it upholds sound doctrine over the essentials of piety, and maintains the use of the sacraments established by the Lord."
Radical Reformation ecclesiology
There is no single "Radical Reformation Ecclesiology." A variety of views is expressed among the various "Radical Reformation" participants.
A key "Radical Reformer" was Menno Simons, known as an "Anabaptist". He wrote:
}}
This was in direct contrast to the hierarchical, sacramental ecclesiology that characterized the incumbent Roman Catholic tradition as well as the new Lutheran and other prominent Protestant movements of the Reformation.
Some other Radical Reformation ecclesiology holds that "the true church [is] in heaven, and no institution of any kind on earth merit[s] the name 'church of God.'"
A more conservative analysis of ecclesiology was given in the mid-20th century by the Methodist Robert Newton Flew. NotesReferences

Wellesley Bailey
|
Wellesley C. Bailey (1846-1937) was the founder of the international charity The Leprosy Mission. In India, in the 1860s, he witnessed the severe consequences of the disease and vowed to make caring for those struggling with leprosy his life's work. The Mission is still active today.
Early life
Wellesley Bailey was born in Ireland in 1846. He grew up in Abbeyleix, Queens County (now County Laois) where his father was an estate manager for the Cosby family.
During his childhood, Ireland was in the midst of the Great Famine. Over one million people emigrated from Ireland during the late 1840s. and in 1866 he set out to find his fortune in the goldfields of Australia. He was unsuccessful and returned to Dublin three years later. A few months later, he sailed to Faizabad in northern India to join his brother in the Indian police force
Christian faith
Although Bailey had attended a Church of Ireland church as a child, he had not taken the Christian faith seriously. He put aside his original intention to join the police and began to learn Hindi. He lodged with an old German Lutheran missionary who was able to teach him the local language. At this time he began to feel that God was calling him to missionary work and he applied to work with the American Presbyterian Mission. They accepted him and sent him as a teacher to one of their schools in Ambala in the state of Punjab, north India.
The leader of the American Mission in Ambala was Dr. J.H. Morrison. Bailey began to hear from his colleagues about how Dr. Morrison 'looked after some beggars who were lepers'. At this point, he had no idea what this meant as he had only heard about leprosy and 'lepers' from Bible stories. Dr Morrison invited him to visit the beggars' huts with him and Bailey was quite shocked when he saw the people's clawed hands and disfigured faces.
Afterwards, he wrote:
'I almost shuddered, yet I was at the same time fascinated, and I felt that if there was ever a Christlike work in the world it was to go amongst these poor sufferers and bring them the consolation of the gospel.'
While Bailey had been in India, he had been corresponding with the childhood girlfriend, Alice Grahame, who had encouraged him to go to church. In one letter he proposed marriage and they became engaged. In 1870 Alice sailed to India and they were married later that year in Bombay Cathedral. Unfortunately the dry heat of the Punjab affected Alice's health badly. Two years after she arrived it was clear that she would not be able to maintain a good quality of life in India; Bailey resigned from the American Mission and together they returned to Ireland.
Creation of the 'Mission to Lepers'
Having to return to Ireland was a deep disappointment for Bailey. He used his time in Ireland to talk to people about the problems faced by those with leprosy in India.
In 1874 friends of the Baileys, the Pim sisters, invited them to stay with them in Dublin. The sisters then invited some of their friends to join them and asked Bailey to describe his work with leprosy-affected people. For many people this was the first time they had heard about modern leprosy.
A larger venue than the Pims' sisters living room was found and Bailey talked about his work to a wider audience. He explained to people about some of the financial needs: 'For as little as £5 an adult leper can be cared for in an asylum, and a child for much less than that.'
Alice's health had significantly improved and the couple were able to return to India in 1875. Bailey had been appointed a lay-missionary with the Church of Scotland. Initially, he focused on preaching and spent his spare time working for patients with leprosy, using some of the funds sent over to India by the Pim sisters to build shelters. His divided loyalties caused tension between Bailey and the Scottish Mission. In 1878 he was given permission to take a month's leave and he returned to Ireland. He reported that the mission was caring for about 100 leprosy-affected people, mostly in north India. Charlotte Pim informed the new committee that they were raising about £900 a year. At this stage, he was still combining his work for the Church of Scotland Mission with his unpaid work as secretary for the Mission to Lepers.
In 1886, Bailey gave up his post with the Scottish charity and was appointed full-time secretary of The Mission to Lepers in India. That same year, he and Alice set off for a tour of India to see for themselves the vast needs of those with leprosy throughout the whole country. They did not return until the spring of 1887.
The growth of the Mission
Bailey's tour of India had highlighted to him how great the need for The Mission to Lepers work was. He had witnessed other missionaries' attempts to care for those with leprosy, often without the support of their Mission organisation. When he visited projects, Bailey was seen as the expert and also a source of financial support.
Bailey and Alice returned to Scotland in 1887 and he began to concentrate on growing the Mission. Letters were arriving from different centres in India asking for support for leprosy work.
Up until this point, Bailey had focused solely on India. Up until this point, he had focused solely on India but a letter arrived from Mandalay in Burma asking for help. The Mission to Lepers responded by providing funds for the building of a home for those with leprosy. By 1891, China was added to the list of countries that The Mission to Lepers was working in.
In 1891, he published The lepers of our Indian empire: a visit to them in 1890-91.
In 1892 he toured the US and Canada speaking about his work with patients with leprosy.
In 1905 he became superintendent of the mission.
In 1913 Bailey embarked on what was to be his last voyage to visit the work that The Mission to Lepers had started. Bailey and Alice journeyed through China, then on to New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, Japan, Korea, back to China and then on to Malaysia, Singapore and India.
Retirement
In 1917, at the age of 71, Bailey retired from his work with the Mission.
In one of his last speeches before his retirement, he said: 'The Mission has been born and cradled in prayer. It has been brought up on prayer; it has been nourished on prayer; and prayer has been at the bottom of its success since the first moments of its life.'
His granddaughter later wrote about him: 'He was not a saint, nor even a clever man... But I do not ever remember hearing from him an ungenerous remark, or seeing him angry apart from minor irritations. His great gift was single-mindedness, and a simplicity that perhaps could not see the difficulties which a more sophisticated mind might see.'
Wellesley Bailey died in 1937, aged 91.
Wellesley Bailey's impact on leprosy work
Before the birth of the Mission to Lepers, support for leprosy work was not very high on people's agendas. Bailey saw a huge need when he first visited the leprosy huts in Ambala and set about raising awareness of the plight of those with leprosy, which subsequently raised financial support allowing the work to grow and continue.
In 1965 The Mission changed its name from 'The Mission to Lepers' to 'The Leprosy Mission' to avoid the negative connotations of the word 'leper'. The Leprosy Mission exists to this day.
In 1999, the Leprosy Mission created the Wellesley Bailey Awards. These honour people who have overcome the social stigma and physical challenges of leprosy and made extraordinary contributions to society.

Camille de Tournon-Simiane
|
thumb|Portrait of Camille de Tournon-Simiane
Comte (Philippe-Marcellin) Camille de Tournon-Simiane (1778 – 18 June 1833) was a French bureaucrat, a chambellan of Napoleon I who served the Emperor as Prefect of Rome (6 September 1809 – 19 January 1814), and with the Bourbon Restoration served as Prefect of the Gironde at Bordeaux (25 July 1815 – 4 February 1822) and briefly of the Rhône at Lyon (1822 – January 1823).
Biography
Born at Apt, Vaucluse, he was at first intended for the navy, but the Revolution intervened. He emigrated and after his return devoted seven years to polishing his interrupted studies, beginning his public career modestly in 1802 as secretary to the commission that was charged with working out the Napoleonic Code rural. As an auditeur to the Council of State, 1806, he was sent to the Département du Rhin, which was being reorganized as a department integral to France. Refusing to desert his post with the Austrian advances of 1809 he was taken prisoner (11 June) and transported to Hungary; after two months he was released and presented at Schönbrunn to Napoleon, who charged him with presenting a dossier on the Habsburg strengths. On the basis of the swiftly accomplished report he was made Prefect of Rome (6 September).
In the absence of the Pope, the Papal States had been incorporated as an integral part of France. By a decree of the Emperor, 1811, one million francs were provided to finance excavation and conservation works at Rome, of which Tournon-Simiane was in charge. Conservation works in the Roman forums from the Campidoglio to the Colosseum, were published in his Etudes Statistiques, 1831, in which he provided an account of the aims and scope of excavations undertaken during his administration, contrasting it with the wholesale pillaging that had taken place in 1798, under the terms of the Treaty of Tolentino.
The most spectacular changes removed 4 metres of silt from the Forum Romanum, taking the profile down to the level of the Via Sacra. Medieval houses that encroached on the forum site were purchased and demolished. So was the convent of Santa Francesca Romana, and structures were detached from the Arch of Titus. The Temple of Castor and Pollux was cleared to the top of its podium, and 60,000 cubic metres of earth was removed from the Basilica of Maxentius, known as the "Temple of Peace", exposing its ancient pavement and portico. A volume of fully 10 metres depth of earth was removed from the three columns of Vespasian's Temple of Jupiter Tonans. Broadly speaking, the Forum recognized in Piranesi's etchings was transformed to the forum we know today. After the restoration of Pius VII Giuseppe Camporese and the architect Giuseppe Valadier continued the path laid down by Tournon.
In 1811, he married Adèle Mayneaud de Pancemont, who brought as dowry the Château de Croix, Génelard in Saône-et-Loire.
Forced to withdraw from Rome when it was occupied by Neapolitan forces, he took with him the archives of his prefecture, from which he compiled his lasting work, Etudes statistiques sur Rome et la partie occidentale des états Romains.
In the meantime, as he had refused to join Napoleon for the Hundred Days, he was rewarded by Louis XVIII with the appointment as prefect of the Gironde where he served six years, and then, briefly at Lyon, as prefect of the Rhône. In January 1823 he was made a member of the Council of state, served in the upper chamber of the Assemblée and was made a peer of France at the end of 1823.
He died in the Hôtel de Pancemont, 57 , Paris, which he had inherited from his father-in-law.

thumb|200px|Garter stall plate of Walter Blount, 1st Baron Mountjoy, KG, St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle
Walter Blount, 1st Baron Mountjoy, KG (1 August 1474) was an English politician.
Early life and family
Walter Blount was born about 1416, the eldest son of Sir Thomas Blount (1378–1456) and Margery Gresley and grandson of Sir Walter Blount.
Career
He was made Steward of the High Peak in Derbyshire and became a bitter rival of the local Vernon and Longford families, replacing the Vernons in parliament as the near-permanent Knight of the Shire (1447, Feb. 1449, 1450–51, 1453–54, 1455–56, 1460–61) for Derbyshire. He succeeded his father, Sir Thomas Blount, as Treasurer of Calais in 1460, becoming governor a year later as a reward for service rendered to King Edward IV at the Battle of Towton. Edward conferred on him in 1467 rich estates in Devon forfeited by the Earl of Devon; and in 1465 Blount was made lord high treasurer and created Baron Mountjoy. This creation is noteworthy as one of the earliest examples of a baronial title not being of a territorial character, nor the title of a dignity already existing. Blount's great-grandfather had married Isolda, daughter and heiress of Sir Thomas de Mountjoy, and the title was probably chosen to commemorate this alliance.
He was made a Knight of the Garter in 1472.
On his death on 1 August 1474 in Greyfriars, London, his grandson Edward Blount, 2nd Baron Mountjoy inherited his title. His eldest son (and Edward's father) Sir William Blount had been killed at the Battle of Barnet in 1471.
Marriages and children
Mountjoy married firstly Helena Byron, the daughter of John Byron (died 1450), Lancashire, by whom he had four sons and two daughters.
William Blount, eldest son and heir, who died in 1471 of wounds received at the Battle of Barnet.
John Blount, 3rd Baron Mountjoy, second son.
James Blount, third son.
Edward Blount.
Anne Blount.
Elizabeth Blount.
By November 1467 Mountjoy married secondly Anne (née Neville), widow of Humphrey Stafford, 1st Duke of Buckingham (d. 1460), and daughter of Ralph Neville, 1st Earl of Westmorland.

Alexander Ferrier Mitchell
|
Alexander Ferrier Mitchell (1822–1899) was a Scottish ecclesiastical historian and Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland in 1885.
Life
He was born at Brechin on 10 September 1822, son of David Mitchell, convener of local guilds, and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of James Ferrier of Broadmyre. After being educated at Brechin grammar school, he proceeded in 1837 to St. Mary's College, St. Andrews, winning an entrance bursary in classics. He graduated M.A. in 1841, and in 1844 was licensed to preach.
After acting as assistant to the ministers at Meigle and Dundee, he was in 1847 ordained by Meigle presbytery to the charge of Dunnichen. Adhering to the established church during the secession movement, he became in 1848 a member of the general assembly. In the same year, when only 26, he was appointed professor of Hebrew in St. Mary's College, where he innovated in teaching methods. As convener from 1856 to 1875 of the committee of the mission to the Jews, Mitchell did much to develop missions in the Levant, which he visited himself in 1857. His main interests lay, however, in Scottish ecclesiastical history, and in 1868 he succeeded John Cook as professor of divinity and ecclesiastical history in St. Mary's College.
Mitchell held his chair for 26 years, and during that period published a number of works on Scottish ecclesiastical history. He was an active member of the Scottish Historical and Text Societies, and took a prominent part in the general councils of the Presbyterian Alliance, attending the meeting at Philadelphia in 1880. In 1885 he was elected moderator of the church of Scotland, and the address he delivered at the close of the session was separately published (Edinburgh and London, 1885). In 1894 he retired from his professorship. He was made D.D. of St. Andrews in 1862, and honorary LL.D. of Glasgow in 1892. He divided his later years between his house at Gowan Park, near Brechin, and 56 South Street, St Andrews.
He died at St. Andrews on 22 March 1899, and was buried in Brechin Cathedral churchyard.
Family
In 1852 he married Margaret Tweedie Johnstone, the eldest daughter of Michael Johnstone of Archbank, near Moffat, and was survived by three sons and four daughters, including Robert Haldane Mitchell.
Works
Mitchell published:
The Westminster Confession of Faith, 1866; 3rd ed. 1867.
The Wedderburns and their Work, 1867.
Minutes of the Westminster Assembly (with John Struthers), 1874.
The Westminster Assembly (Baird Lectures), London, 1883; new edit. Philadelphia, 1895.
Catechisms of the Church of Scotland, Edinburgh, 1886.
The Scottish Reformation, ed. D. Hay Fleming, with biographical sketch by Dr. James Christie, London, 1900.
Mitchell also edited for the Scottish Text Society the Richt Vey to Heuine, by John Gau, in 1888, and the Gude and Godlie Ballatis from the 1567 version in 1897. For the Scottish Historical Society he edited in 1892 and 1896 two volumes of The Records of the Commissions of the General Assembly, 1646–50. He also published an edition of Archbishop Hamilton's Catechism (1882), and three lectures at St. Giles's, Edinburgh (St. Giles's Lectures, 1st ser. No. 4, 4th ser. No. 1, and 6th ser. No. 8).

Genoplesium
|
and plesios meaning "near"
Distribution and habitat
Midge orchids mainly occur in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. Most Genoplesium species occur in near-coastal regions but also grow in montane and sub-alpine areas. In Australia they are most common in moss beds over rock, in forest, woodland, heath and mallee.

St. John the Baptist Ukrainian Catholic Church is a historic Ukrainian Catholic church in the South Side Flats neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The parish is under the authority of the Eparchy of St. Josaphat in Parma, Ohio.
The parish was established in 1891, initially holding services in the former Grace Lutheran Church at South 7th and Carson Streets. The present church was built on the same site in 1895 and expanded with a major addition in 1919. The building was designated a historic landmark by the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation in 1968 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

Geodorum
|
Geodorum, commonly known as '''shepherds' crooks or 地宝兰属 (di bao lan shu)', is a genus of eight species of flowering plants in the orchid family, Orchidaceae. They are deciduous, terrestrial herbs with underground pseudobulbs, broad, pleated leaves and small to medium-sized, tube-shaped or bell-shaped flowers on a flowering stem with a drooping end. Species in this genus are found in southern Japan, tropical Asia, Australia and islands of the southwest Pacific Ocean.
Description
Orchids in the genus Geodorum are deciduous, terrestrial herbs with pseudobulbs underground but close to the surface. There are several pleated leaves emerging from the pseudobulb, the largest at the top. Each leaf has a stalk which wraps around those below it. The flower stalk also emerges from the pseudobulb and bears a few to many bell-shaped or tubular flowers. The sepals and petals are similar in size and shape and do not spread widely apart from each other, so that the flowers do not open widely. The portion of the flowering stem carrying flowers droops, so that although the flowers are non-resupinate, the labellum is the lowest part of the flower. The labellum has three lobes but lacks the spur or pouch of orchids in the similar genus Eulophia.Taxonomy and namingThe first formal description of Geodorum appeared in The Botanist's Repository for New, and Rare Plants edited by Henry Cranke Andrews. There is a description and an illustration of Geodorum citrinum, now known as Geodorum terrestre''. The illustration was the work of Andrews but although not recognised in the book, the description is believed to be the work of George Jackson. The name Geodorum is derived from the Ancient Greek words ge meaning "earth" and doron meaning "leaf",<ref name"RWB" /> apparently referring to the terrestrial habit of orchids in this genus.<ref name"ATROK" />

The South Side Market Building, also known as the South Side Market House, is a historic, American market house that is located at 12th and Bingham Streets in the South Side Flats neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Built in 1915, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
History and architectural features
The original market house on this spot was built in 1893, but was destroyed by fire circa 1914.<ref name"VanTrumpandZiegler"/> It was rebuilt in 1915.<ref name"VanTrumpandZiegler"/><ref name"WalterCKidney"/> Architect: Charles Bickel.<ref name"WalterCKidney"/>
According to James D. Van Trump and Arthur P. Ziegler, Jr., "It is one of the last two market houses extant in Pittsburgh; the other is the East Liberty Market.
According to Walter C. Kidney, "When it was rebuilt in 1915 after a fire, the towers came off, the gable roof was brought down to the eaves on both fronts, and a well-scaled stone cartouche was set into the south front memorializing the new work. This cartouche is the building's one decoration today, set off by swags and surmounted by a bull's head. The Romanesque walls otherwise survive largely as built, industrial rather than civic architecture."<ref name"WalterCKidney"/>References

Tonge is an outlying area of Bolton, in Greater Manchester, England. The name is supposed to be derived from the Old English "tang" or "twang" meaning a fork in a river. Tonge comprises two areas, namely Tonge Fold and Tonge Moor. Tonge Fold sits upon the River Tonge, a region of whose banks are a geological site of special scientific interest (SSSI). History Historically a part of Lancashire, it was once part of the township and chapelry of Bolton parish. By the end of the 19th century Tonge was home to a coal mine. In 1894 Tonge became a separate civil parish, being formed from the rural part of Halliwell, on 30 September 1898 the parish was abolished and merged with Bolton.Education
There are three primary schools in Tonge;-
* Moorgate Country Primary School,
* Tonge Moor Academy Primary School
* Castle Hill Primary School.
* St Columba's RC Primary School
Tonge does not have any secondary schools within its borders, though schools like Canon Slade School, Turton School and Sharples School are popular choices around the area.
Landmarks
A noteworthy building in Tonge is Hall i' th' Wood, an early 16th-century manor house, and once the home of Samuel Crompton in the 18th century. The building was bought by William Lever (later Lord Leverhulme) in 1899, and after it was restored, he gave it to Bolton Corporation in 1900.References

The Tubman Museum, formerly known as the "Tubman African American Museum", is located in Macon, Georgia, USA. It is located in the city's museum district near the Georgia Music Hall of Fame and Georgia Sports Hall of Fame.
History
Location
Founded in 1981, this museum is dedicated to preserving and displaying African American art, history, and culture. The museum was located at the corner of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Drive and Walnut Street from its founding until 2015. The 8,500 square foot building was replaced with a new 49,500 square foot building in front of Terminal Station and across the street from the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame. Plans for the new building began in 2001. The board of directors broke ground in 2001, but due to the economic downturn of 2007–2008, the building project was delayed. The old building closed on April 10, 2015, with the museum holding a farewell party on April 16. The new facility opened on May 16, 2015, during the Pan-African Festival in Downtown Macon. The ceremony included a march from the old Tubman Museum to the new building where the ribbon cutting took place. Mission The museum's mission is to educate people about African American culture and history. The museum also offers an array of exhibitions, programs, and publications for the general public and student groups from kindergarten through college. There are classes offered in dancing, drama, drumming, photography, and visual art that are focused on African American culture.Beginnings
The Tubman Museum had been a longtime dream of the Rev. Richard Keil, formed over more than two decades of working in predominantly black churches primarily in the South. When Keil, a Catholic priest, was assigned to St. Peter Claver Church in Macon, he thought the city would be the perfect place for the museum, given its central location and access to interstates.
In 1981, after consulting with various African American community leaders, he found a building on Walnut Street, made the down payment and personally signed for a loan, confident that others would contribute.
In his 2015 book, “Lessons along the Way,” Keil explained his motivation for starting the museum:
He credited many with offering ideas for the museum and helping to get it up and running: high school principal Gloria Washington; Mercer University professor Bobby Jones; contractor and county commissioner Albert Billingslea, as well as his wife Margaret; Pearlie and John T Oliver, a bank vice president and state government official, respectively; and Maureen Walker, then director of the Ruth Hartley Mosley Center, who encouraged him to go for it.
The museum moved to its new location, on Cherry Street, across from the Georgia Sports Hall of Fame, in 2015. Its directors say it is the largest museum in the Southeast devoted to African-American art, history and culture.
Art
Galleries & Exhibitions
The Tubman museum offers an array of galleries and exhibitions, including From Africa to America a mural by contemporary Macon artist Wilfred Stroud. The mural portrays events from Africa to America which started in 1619. It also offers galleries such as I Dream a World: Portraits of Black Women Who Changed America and Sankofa: A Century of African American Expression in the Decorative Arts. The museum offers many different art collections such as The Mural, Inventors Gallery, Local History, Folk Art and Black Artist of Georgia.See also*List of museums focused on African AmericansReferencesExternal links

The Battle of Jahra occurred on 10 October 1920 during the Kuwait–Najd War, pitting Sheikh Salem Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, the ruler of Kuwait, against the Ikhwan forces led by Faisal al-Duwaish, the sheikh of the Mutayr tribe. The confrontation took place in the village of Al-Jahra, located west of Kuwait City. The battle resulted in a costly victory for the Ikhwan, who succeeded in capturing Jahra village. Sheikh Salem, along with some of his forces, took refuge in the Red Palace, where they fortified themselves.
The Ikhwan then besieged the fort and offered terms of reconciliation to Sheikh Salem, which he refused. This prompted the Ikhwan to launch an attack on the palace, but they failed to breach its defenses. Despite the successes of the Kuwaiti forces in repelling the attackers, the defenders faced severe difficulties due to a lack of water, making it hard to endure the siege. As the second day of fighting began, their patience was nearly exhausted. However, the arrival of reinforcements by sea to Kuwait City provided much-needed relief.
Faisal Al-Duwaish, in an attempt to gauge the condition of the besieged, sent a Ikhwan jurist to negotiate terms of reconciliation. Sheikh Salem pretended to accept these terms but had no intention of honoring them, focusing instead on ending the siege. He instructed his secretary to draft a letter to Faisal Al-Duwaish, feigning submission to the reconciliation terms, on the condition that the Ikhwan withdraw from the palace and Jahra. As a result, the Ikhwan withdrew to Subaihiya in southern Kuwait on 12 October 1920.
The Ikhwan, after their initial siege and failed assault on the Red Palace during the Battle of Jahra, attempted to negotiate with Sheikh Salem Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah to finalize the reconciliation process. However, Sheikh Salem declined their terms and instead sought British military assistance. In response, the British deployed military forces to Kuwait and issued a stern warning to the Ikhwan via aerial leaflet drops over their camp in Subaihiya, advising them to halt any further attacks on Kuwait.
Simultaneously, Ibn Saud, the ruler of Najd, intervened by dispatching a delegation to Faisal al-Duwaiish, the leader of the Ikhwan, urging him to abandon his plans for another assault on Kuwait. Under this combined pressure from both the British and Ibn Saud, the Ikhwan withdrew from their camp in Subaihiya and returned to Najd.
Ultimately, the ruler of Muhammara, Sheikh Khazʽal Ibn Jabir, played a key role in mediating the conflict. He facilitated a reconciliation between Sultan Abdul Aziz Al Saud of Najd and Sheikh Salim Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah of Kuwait, bringing an end to the tensions between the two sides.
History
The Battle of Jahra was outcomes of the border conflict between the Emirate of Kuwait and the Emirate of Najd, which escalated into a violent confrontation between the two entities. The conflict originated from the territorial expansion of Najd, which had annexed much of the Arabian Peninsula, including most cities and towns in central Arabia, with the exception of the Emirate of Hail. A critical turning point occurred in 1913, when Najd captured the Ottoman district of Al-Ahsa in eastern Arabia, bringing its borders into direct contact with Kuwait.
Tensions heightened in 1919 when Sheikh Salim Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, the ruler of Kuwait, attempted to establish a settlement at Khur Bulbul, a strategic location on Kuwait's southern border. Emir Abdulaziz Al Saud of Najd opposed the move, claiming that Khur Bulbul was part of the Qatif region, which was under his control. The situation led to a political crisis that was quickly mediated by Britain, in the region following the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. As a result, Sheikh Salem abandoned plans to develop Khur Bulbul.
However, in 1920, another border dispute emerged over the ownership of wells in the Qaryat al-Ulya. Members of the Ikhwan, a militant group aligned with the Mutair tribe, established a settlement at the site in May 1920. Sheikh Salem objected, claiming the wells were within Kuwait's borders, as defined by the Anglo-Ottoman Agreement of 1913. Despite his protests, the Ikhwan refused to cease their activities without direct orders from Emir Abdulaziz Al Saud, indicating that the settlement had likely been sanctioned by Najd.
Sheikh Salem initially sought a diplomatic solution, appealing to the British High Commissioner in Baghdad, but his concerns were ignored. With few options left, he resorted to military action, sending a force of 300 men under the command of Daej Al-Sabah to confront the Ikhwan at Hamdh. Daej threatened the Ikhwan, demanding they leave the Qaryat al-Ulya or face attack.
In response, the Ikhwan called for reinforcements from Faisal al-Duwaish, the leader of the Mutair tribe. This escalated into the Battle of Hamdh, where the Kuwaiti forces were defeated. Following this setback, Sheikh Salem sought help from the ruler of Hail, a rival of Abdulaziz Al Saud. Hail sent Dhari bin Tawalah, who joined forces with Daej Al-Sabah in preparing for a renewed assault on Quraiya.
Upon learning of these preparations, Abdulaziz Al Saud ordered Faisal Al-Dawish to defend the village. Recognizing the strength of the Ikhwan forces, Dhari and Daej retreated to the village of Jahra. In response, Sheikh Salem launched three raids: the first led by Ibn Tawalah on the wells at Al-Lahaba, the second by Ibn Majid on Al-Rumah, and the third by Kiran on Al-Shibak. These raids were initially successful, but the Ikhwan forces quickly pursued the raiders back to Jahra. As the Ikhwan advanced, Sheikh Salem left Kuwait City and headed to Jahra to prepare for the inevitable battle.
Border dispute
Khur Bulbul Crisis
In 1919, relations between the Emirate of Najd and Kuwait were strained due to a border dispute that emerged when Sheikh Salem Al-Sabah, the ruler of Kuwait, attempted to establish a settlement at Khur Bulbul, located near Ras Manifa on Kuwait’s southern frontier. The area, noted for its natural harbor and proximity to pearl diving grounds and water wells, was intended to become a commercial hub. Sheikh Salem planned to construct a fort to protect the harbor and facilitate trade. According to the Anglo-Ottoman Treaty of 1913, Kuwait’s southern border extended to Ras Manifa, marking the starting point of the Ottoman Al-Ahsa Brigade’s territory. However, the expansion into Khor Bulbul raised concerns for Emir Abdulaziz Al Saud of Najd, who feared the new settlement might rival the nearby city of Jubail in terms of trade and pearl diving. Abdulaziz wrote to Sheikh Salem, urging him to halt construction, but Sheikh Salem refused.
In response, Abdulaziz escalated the issue by informing Major John More, the British political agent in Kuwait, of his objection, claiming that Khor Balbul was part of the Qatif region, which belonged to Najd. Despite his initial resistance and insistence that Khor Bulbul was within Kuwait’s borders, Sheikh Salem eventually abandoned his plans to develop the site.
Qaryat al-Ulya Crisis
In early 1920, members of the Ikhwan, a militant group primarily composed of the Mutair tribe, established a settlement around the wells in the village of Quraiya, claiming ownership of the land. Upon learning of this encroachment, Sheikh Salem Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, the ruler of Kuwait, sent a message to Hayef bin Shuqair, the leader of the Ikhwan and a relative of the Mutair, urging him to halt any construction activities within Kuwait's southern borders. Hayef, however, refused to comply, stating that he would only act upon orders from a superior authority.
This defiance incited Sheikh Salem's anger, prompting him to impose an embargo on the export of grains and other goods to Ibn Saud's followers. In a bid to confront the Ikhwan, Sheikh Salem dispatched a military force comprising 200 men and 100 cavalry, led by Sheikh Daej bin Salman Al-Sabah. The Kuwaiti force established its position in Hamdh, strategically situated near the Ikhwan’s settlement. Kuwaiti historian Abdulaziz Al-Rashid contended that Sheikh Salem's intent was to instill fear in the Ikhwan and deter them from continuing their activities in Quraiya. Conversely, historian Ameen Rihani reported that upon reaching Hamdh, the Kuwaiti forces sent a menacing message to the Ikhwan in Quraiya, threatening them with death if they did not vacate the area.
Battle of Hamdh
Upon the arrival of the Kuwaiti military force in Hamdh, the Ikhwan sent a distress signal to Faisal al-Duwaish, the Emir of Al Al Artawiyah, who swiftly mobilized a contingent of 2,000 men to assist them. The Ikhwan then launched an offensive against the Kuwaiti forces stationed in Hamdh. In response to the attack, Abdulaziz Al Saud, the Sultan of Najd, reprimanded Faisal Al-Dawish for exceeding his orders, which had restricted him to defensive maneuvers only. The Ikhwan justified their actions by asserting that the Kuwaitis were the aggressors, having advanced to within a mere four hours of their position.
In Kuwait, Sheikh Salem sought reinforcements by summoning Dhari bin Tawalah and his men from the Shammar tribe, who were stationed in Safwan, north of Kuwait. He allocated funds to Dhari and planned a raid on Hayef bin Shuqair and the Ikhwan in Quraiya. Consequently, Sheikh Salem dispatched Dhari bin Tawalah along with Sheikh Daej bin Salman Al-Sabah to confront Hayef bin Shuqair and the Ikhwan in Quraiya Al-Ulya.
However, the forces sent by Sheikh Salem did not engage the Ikhwan in Quraiya. Reports indicate that a disagreement over command arose between Dhari bin Tawalah and Sheikh Daej during their advance, leading to their retreat to Jahra without launching an attack. Additionally, it was noted that while en route, one of the Ikhwan loyalists managed to escape and alert Hayef bin Shuqair and his followers of the approaching Kuwaiti forces. This revelation heightened the Kuwaiti forces' awareness of the difficulties they would face, prompting them to withdraw.
Building the Third Wall
Following the Battle of Hamdh, there was a prevailing sentiment regarding the urgent need to construct a protective wall around Kuwait to safeguard against potential threats and repulse enemy incursions. In response, Sheikh Salem Al-Sabah ordered the construction of a new wall, marking the city's third fortification. Work on the wall commenced on May 22, 1920, funded by a tax imposed on citizens. Responsibilities for the labor were divided among prominent figures in the city, who were tasked with various duties, including digging, sourcing clay, transportation, providing mortar, feeding the workers, and supplying water.
By September of that year, the wall was completed, extending over three miles and effectively isolating the city from the land. It reached into the sea to thwart any attempts at maritime entry. The fortifications included three gates, along with a fourth gate designated for the emir, each resembling a fortress. When closed and secured with locks and large wooden planks, the city transformed into an impregnable stronghold, with the gates referred to as Al-Darwaza. The wall was further fortified with twenty-six towers, each equipped with firing openings.
In October of the same year, Sheikh Salem received reports that large contingents of the Ikhwan were advancing from the south. He departed Kuwait for Jahra, accompanied by 500 local men. On October 7, the Ikhwan reached Al-Wafra, south of Kuwait, swelling their ranks to 4,000, which included 500 cavalry. They continued their advance from Al-Wafra to Al-Sabihiya on October 8, ultimately proceeding to Jahra, where the battle would erupt on October 10
Abrogation of the 1913 Anglo-Ottoman Treaty
Sheikh Salem Al-Mubarak, the ruler of Kuwait, based his border dispute with Najd on the Anglo-Ottoman Agreement of 1913, which stated that Kuwait's borders extended to Ras Minifa in the south. However, he was unaware that the Darin Agreement, signed in 1915 between the British government and the Emirate of Najd, which recognized Ibn Saud as the ruler of Al-Ahsa, Qatif, and Jubail, did not delineate the borders of Kuwait.
On the other hand, Emir Abdulaziz Al Saud refused to recognize the 1913 agreement, deeming it non-binding since it was signed with the Ottoman Empire and not with him.
To resolve the dispute, the Royal High Commissioner in Baghdad decided on July 9, 1920, to notify Sheikh Salem Al-Sabah that the Anglo-Ottoman Agreement of 1913 was now null and void, having been invalidated by the British government's conclusion of the Darin Agreement with Ibn Saud in 1915.
The battle
Balance of power
Sheikh Salim Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah forces in Jahra ranged between 1,500 and 3,000 fighters, including 500 residents of Kuwait City. He was supported by Sheikh Dhari bin Tawalah and his men from the Shammar tribe, as well as Mubarak bin Dri'e and his followers from the Awazim and Al-Diyaheen tribes of Mutair.
In contrast, the Ikhwan forces were composed of inhabitants from the settlements of Al Artawiyah, Qaryat al-Ulya, Al-Sufla, Mabayid, Al-Athlah, and Farihan. Their strength was approximately 4,000 men, including 500 cavalry. The Ikhwan formations included four banners (rayat), each consisting of around 1,000 fighters.
Ikhwan's attack
Ikhwan launched their attack on Jahra at 6:00 AM on October 10. The infantry assault was spread across several directions of the village, while the Ikhwan cavalry focused on distracting the defending cavalry assigned to protect the flanks of the defending force.
Sheikh Salem positioned his forces in Jahra, placing Dhari bin Tawalah and the cavalry from Shammar on the right flank, and Sheikh Daej Al-Sabah and his cavalry on the left. The Ikhwan's attack was fierce and relentless, leading to a confrontation that lasted only a few hours. Sheikh Salem and his troops, stationed in the southeastern part of the village, were surprised to find the Ikhwan face-to-face with them, resulting in a brief battle that forced Sheikh Salem to retreat to the Red Palace.
As a consequence, chaos ensued among the remaining defending forces, who scattered in disarray in search of safety. By 9:00 AM, the village of Jahra had fallen into the hands of the Ikhwan, while Sheikh Salem and approximately 600 men took refuge inside the Red Palace.
Siege of the Red Palace
Faisal Al-Dawish dispatched Mandil bin Ghanayman to Sheikh Salem Al-Mubarak to negotiate a truce, threatening that failure to accept the terms would result in the Ikhwan being permitted to attack the palace. The conditions proposed by the Ikhwan for peace included adherence to Islamic principles, the expulsion of Shiites, the prohibition of smoking and other perceived immoral practices, and a public denunciation of the Turks, despite their departure from the region years earlier during World War I.
As the sun set without any representatives from the Ikhwan arriving, the night progressed, and the Ikhwan raised their banners to initiate an assault on the palace. However, they encountered heavy gunfire from within. Despite their efforts, they made two attempts to storm the palace but were unable to breach its defenses.
Military force sent from Kuwait City to help the besieged
Sheikh Ahmad Jaber Al-Sabah, the deputy emir, organized a military force in Kuwait City to assist those besieged in the Red Palace in Jahra. This force comprised several sailing ships laden with men and supplies, along with a ground contingent led by Dhari bin Tawalah.
Reconciliation and Ikhwan withdrawal
Faisal Al-Dawish attempted to gauge the situation of those besieged inside the palace by sending one of the Ikhwan's scholars, named Uthman bin Sulayman, to discuss the previously mentioned peace terms. The defenders inside the palace were suffering from severe thirst. When Uthman bin Sulayman arrived, he produced a letter from Faisal Al-Dawish outlining the peace terms previously presented by Mandil bin Ghanayman.
Sheikh Salem Al-Mubarak pretended to accept these conditions, despite having no intention of taking them seriously. At that moment, his only concern was to escape the siege. He instructed his secretary to draft a response to Faisal Al-Dawish, indicating his compliance with the peace terms on the condition that the Ikhwan forces withdraw from the palace and Jahra. Consequently, the Ikhwan left Jahra towards Al-Sabihiya on October 12.
Arrival of British troops
On October 21, the warships Especle and Lawrence arrived at the port of Kuwait, accompanied by two British aircraft. The following day, a third warship docked, carrying Sir Arnold Wilson, the acting civil commissioner in Iraq. In response to the escalating tensions, an aircraft subsequently flew over the Ikhwan camp in Al-Sabihiya, dropping leaflets that issued warnings against any attacks on the city of Kuwait.
Beyond Jahra
The Ikhwan withdrew from Al-Sabihiya but returned in mid-December with a substantial force led by Faisal Al-Dawish. They launched an attack on Mazid bin Faisal Al-Dawish in northern Kuwait, resulting in his death and the seizure of his wealth before advancing northward to raid Al-Dhafir.
After successfully capturing Al-Dhafeer, Faisal Al-Dawish established a position near Al-Zubair and sent a message to its ruler, Ibn Ibrahim, expressing his desire to meet and requesting assistance in retrieving deposits that had been left in Al-Dhafir during the raid.
Meanwhile, the British political agent in Basra became aware of these developments through various channels. He wrote a letter to Al-Dawish and instructed Ibn Ibrahim to deliver it to him discreetly. Upon reading the letter, Al-Dawish was displeased and dismissed the men from Al-Zubair who had come to reclaim the deposits, subsequently declaring war against them.
In retaliation, Ibn Ibrahim traveled to Basra to seek assistance from the British political officer, who supplied him with five hundred rifles and a contingent of soldiers to bolster Al-Zubair's defenses. An aircraft was deployed to fly over the Ikhwan's forces in an effort to intimidate them, ultimately prompting their retreat back to Najd
Reconciliation in Riyadh
Khazʽal Ibn Jabir, the ruler of Mohammerah, undertook the responsibility of mediating peace between Kuwait and Riyadh. He traveled to Kuwait to meet with Sheikh Salem Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah to facilitate this process. It was agreed to send a delegation to Riyadh to engage in peace negotiations, led by Sheikh Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, the Crown Prince of Kuwait at the time. The delegation also included Sheikh Kasib, the son of Sheikh Khazal, as well as Abdul Latif Pasha Al-Mundhil and Abdul Aziz Al-Badr.
The delegation traveled on the Khazali yacht to Bahrain, where they were hosted by Sheikh Isa Al-Khalifa, the ruler of Bahrain. They then proceeded to Al-Ahsa, where they received a warm welcome from Prince Abdullah bin Juluwi, before continuing their journey to Riyadh to meet with Sultan Abdulaziz Al Saud of Najd. Before departing Riyadh to return to Kuwait, the delegation was informed of the death of the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Salem Al-Sabah, news that brought joy to King Abdulaziz Al Saud.
Demarcation
On December 2, 1922, the Aqeer Treaty was signed, establishing the borders between Kuwait and Najd. The treaty was signed by Abdullah Al-Damlouji on behalf of King Abdulaziz, and by Major John Moore, the British political agent, representing Sheikh Ahmad Jaber Al-Sabah.

Mary C. Waters (born 1957) is an American sociologist, demographer and author. She is the John L. Loeb Professor of Sociology and the PVK Professor of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University. Waters chaired the 2015 National Research Council Panel on The Integration of Immigrants into American Society.
As of August 2023, Waters became a co-editor of the Annual Review of Sociology.
Career
Waters earned her B.A. in philosophy from Johns Hopkins University in 1978. She went on to earn her first M.A. in Demography in 1981 and her second M.A. in 1983 from the University of California at Berkeley, along with her PhD in Sociology in 1986. the John L. Loeb Professor of Sociology and (as of 2018) the PVK Professor of Arts and Sciences. She examines the formation and measurement of race and identity
and has testified before Congress and worked with the United States census on its framing of measures of racial and ethnic identity. She is the principal investigator in a longitudinal study of the effects of Hurricane Katrina on African-American single mothers from New Orleans.
Waters has written or edited at least 13 books,
She is noted for her concept of ethnic option, according to which the children and descendants of immigrants have the option of choosing whether or not to identify with the ethnicity of their ancestors. Waters notes, however, that there are four specific factors which influence that choice: “knowledge about ancestors, surname, looks, and the relative rankings of the groups.” The term first appeared in her book Ethnic Options, Choosing Identities in America (1990).
Her book Black Identities: West Indian Immigrant Ideas and American Realities (1999) won five scholarly awards. It has been described as "a deeply learned, richly empirical, and elegantly written tour de force" that appreciates the complexity of immigrant lives.
Waters chaired the 2015 NRC Panel on The Integration of Immigrants into American Society and co-edited the resulting 2016 book, The Integration of Immigrants into American Society.
Waters serves on the governing council of the National Academy of Sciences, and was appointed in 2023 to a committee that advises the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education (DBASSE) at the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
As of August 2023, Waters became a co-editor of the Annual Review of Sociology.Awards and honors*1993, Guggenheim Fellowship, John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation

Place code
|
A P-code, short for place code, is a kind of geocode used mostly by emergency response teams. It provides unique identifiers to thousands of locations and administrative units in a humanitarian operation. The p-codes are represented by combinations of letters and/or numbers to identify a specific location or feature on a map or within a database. These codes provide a systematic means of linking data to an unambiguous location. Any information that is tagged with P-codes can be combined and analyzed with any other p-coded data. The p-codes for a country can be found in the Common Operational Datasets, which are standard geographic references for the humanitarian community provided by UN OCHA:

Vrydagzynea
|
Vrydagzynea, commonly called tonsil orchids, is a genus of orchids in the tribe Cranichideae. About forty five species of Vrydagzynea have been formally described. They are native to India, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Malesia, Melanesia and Polynesia. A single species in Australia is possibly extinct. They have thinly textured, stalked leaves and small, dull-coloured resupinate flowers with the dorsal sepal and petals overlapping to form a hood over the column.DescriptionOrchids in the genus Vrydagzynea are terrestrial, perennial, deciduous, sympodial herbs with a fleshy, creeping, above-ground rhizome anchored by wiry roots. The leaves are thinly textured and stalked, arranged in a rosette at the base of the flowering stem or scattered along it. Small, resupinate dull-coloured flowers are crowded along the short flowering stem which usually has protruding bracts. The dorsal sepal and petals overlap, forming a hood over the column. The labellum has a downward pointing spur and two stalked glands that resemble tonsils or testicles. Orchids in this genus are distinguished from those in other similar genera by the labellum glands, labellum spur and by having petals which are shorter than the sepals.
Taxonomy and naming
The genus Vrydagzynea was first formally described in 1858 by Carl Ludwig Blume and the description was published in his book ''Collection des Orchidées les plus remarquables de l'archipel Indien et du Japon. The name Vrydagzynea honours the Dutch pharmacologist Theodore Daniel Vrydag Zynen, a contemporary of Blume.<ref name"monocots" />List of speciesThe following is a list of species of Vrydagzynea recognised by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families as at October 2020:<ref name"WCSP" />

Ethnic option
|
Ethnic option is a term coined by sociologist Mary C. Waters to express her conception that ethnic identity of the descendants of white European immigrants is flexible, symbolic and voluntary, not a definitive aspect of their identity. Waters argues that with the achievement of middle-class suburban status, ethnicity becomes a lifestyle option, a costless form of community.

The mrigal carp (Cirrhinus cirrhosus), () also known as the white carp, is a species of ray-finned fish in the carp family. Native to streams and rivers in India, the only surviving wild population is in the Cauvery River, leading to its IUCN rating as vulnerable. It reaches a maximum length of . This species and Cirrhinus mrigala are considered distinct.AquacultureMrigal is popular as a food fish and an important aquacultured freshwater species throughout South Asia. It is widely farmed as a component of a polyculture system of three Indian major carps, along with roho labeo and the catla. It was introduced by aquaculture across India started in the early 1940s, and later to other Asian countries. The mrigal carp fails to breed naturally in ponds, thus induced breeding is done.Habitat and ecologyMrigal is an benthopelagic and potamodromous plankton feeder. It inhabits fast flowing streams and rivers, but can tolerate high levels of salinity. Spawning occurs in marginal areas of the water bodies with a depth of over a sand or clay substrate. A female can lay a million eggs. This fish has a rapid growth rate; by the age of two, individuals can reach a length of and can weigh as much as .

Cirrhinus molitorella (mud carp or dace) is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Cirrhinus found mainly in southern China and Vietnam.
History
The mud carp is a native Asian freshwater fish with a broad distribution from the Mekong River to the Pearl River deltas, inhabiting lakes, rivers and reservoirs.
Mud carp cultivation was introduced to China during the Tang dynasty (618–907 AD) as a substitute for common carp, as the common carp was forbidden to fish due to a ban. Chinese aquaculture farmers adapted by raising mud carp, which were bottom feeders, in polyculture with top-feeding grass carp, while silver carp or bighead carp lived and fed in the middle depths.
