71560527	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alam%20Qahramana	Alam Qahramana	Alam Qahramana (fl. 945) was a courtier of the Abbasid harem during the reign of Caliph Al-Mustakfi (r. 944–946). She was originally from Persia and named Husn, before coming to the Abbasid harem. She was a qahramana (stewardess). She enjoyed great influence during the short reign of Al-Mustakfi. It was said that "Alam became the qahramana of Caliph al-Mustakfi, and she dominated all his affairs". She succesfully formed an alliance with the commander of the army, Tuzun (amir al-umara), and together they wielved great influence over the affairs of state, supported by the influence of their respective positions. According to Meskawayh: "The court of al-Mustakfi suffered the most humiliating times among the eras of caliphs, because it became under the domination and influence of a Persian woman named Husn. Several corrupt and evil people gathered around her, forming her entourage. She would inspect the hajibs and ghulman of the caliph in a council called the Hudan, where only the vizier had access. As a result of that, the prestige and dignity of the caliphate was torn apart. The court ceremonies were lost, and the palace of the caliph became approachable by many (allowed by her). She wanted to reward Tuzun, so she made the caliph treat him with ceremonies unheard of before this time." She attempted to form good relations with the Daylami Iranian commanders of the Buwayhids, and "She held several banquets in their honour, in the hope they would support the caliph against any opposition". Her ally Tuzun died shortly before the fall of Al-Mustakfi. When the Buwayhid leader Mu'izz al-Dawla entered Baghdad in 945, he arrested both her and the caliph. He accused her of having worked against him, had her toungue cut of and seized her money. She was the last qahramana known to have wielded political influence over the affairs of state.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department acquired part of the natural area from the Nature Conservancy in 1985 and the rest from a private individual in 1988. Honey Creek opened in 1985 with access by guided tour only. Since Honey Creek is designated a "Natural Area" rather than a "State Park", the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's first priority is the maintenance and preservation of the property's natural state. Flora and fauna The dry rocky uplands are dominated by Ashe juniper, live oak, agarita and Texas persimmon. Cedar elm, Spanish oak, pecan, walnut and Mexican buckeye are found nearer the creek bed. In the floodplain, the dominant trees are sycamore and bald cypress. Texas palmetto, columbine and maidenhair fern grow along the banks of the creek. Many of the typical animals found in the Texas Hill Country reside in Honey Creek, including wild turkeys, Eastern fence lizards, armadillos and leopard frogs. Some of the more unusual species include Cagle's map turtle, Guadalupe bass (the Texas state fish), four-lined skink, green kingfisher and the Texas salamander. In addition, Honey Creek is one of the nesting sites of the endangered golden-cheeked warbler. References State parks of Texas Protected areas of Comal County, Texas 1985 establishments in Texas

71560789	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal%20buildings%20in%20the%20United%20States	Federal buildings in the United States	Federal buildings in the United States house offices of the United States government that provide services to state and city level population centers. These federal buildings are often literally named Federal Building, with this moniker displayed on the property; they may share real estate with federal courthouses. There are design issues specific to federal buildings, relating to their multipurpose functions and concerns related to the fact of their association with the government. For example, as symbols of the government, they may potentially be focus of protests or threats, so there are security issues. Also environmental impacts and environmentally sound design may be more important. A committee set up by President John F. Kennedy in 1962 issued "Guiding Principles for Federal Architecture". Towards improving design of federal buildings in the United States, "the committee recommended architecture that would convey the 'dignity, enterprise, vigor, and stability of the American Government.' Designers and officials were encouraged to pay special attention to site selection and layout, including landscape development." Some architects specialize in federal building designs. History The first U.S. Federal building authorized by the U.S. Congress in 1807, with an appropriation of $20,000 to build, in New Orleans, a post office, courthouse, or custom house. Historically, the authorization and construction of the first federally-funded building in a small town often has been a major event. Sometimes these were simply a post office or a courthouse; often they were combination buildings. The Treasury Department of the U.S. established a Department of Construction office in 1852. From 1864 on the Office of the Supervising Architect handled design of federal buildings. William Gibbs McAdoo, the Secretary of the Treasury from 1913 to 1918, and the Supervising Architect at the time, James A. Wetmore promoted standardization of government building design. They instituted the policy that buildings were to be designed with "scale, materials and finishes" that directly reflected their "location, prominence and income". This push to standardization of public building design was in conflict with the Tarsney Act, which permitted private architects to design federal buildings after being selected in a competition under the supervision of the Supervising Architect. The act, under which several prior buildings were designed, was repealed in 1913 as it was felt that designing building with government architects would most efficiently cause the desired standardization. Buildings were to be designed with specific criteria, A "Class A" building was one which was on a major street of a major city, surrounding by expensive building and expected to generate at least $800,000 in revenue. These buildings would have marble or granite exteriors, marble interiors, ornamental bronze, and other similar fixtures. A small post office with revenue of under $15,000 would be made of brick, with standard wood windows and doors and would appear "ordinary". Critics felt the system would make public buildings too plain. The growth of cities and government functions has led to the need for large multipurpose highrise federal buildings. An example is the 32-story $120 million construction in Cleveland of the Anthony J. Celebrezze Federal Building. In the United States, multipurpose federal buildings are generally managed by the U.S. General Services Administration. The GSA recognized its top 20 federal buildings in 2014.

71560800	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaifiyat	Kaifiyat	A Kaifiyat is a historical record, especially about a village or a town, from the Deccan region of India. Compiled in 18th and 19th centuries by village accountants, based on earlier records, the kaifiyats are a valuable source of local history. Many of them are part of the Mackenzie Manuscripts compiled by Colin Mackenzie and his assistants during 1780-1820. Etymology The word kaifiyat is of Arabic origin, and comes to India from Persian, which was the official language of the Deccan sultanates. Depending on the context, it has various meanings including "circumstances, account, statement, report, particulars, story, and news." By the late 18th century, the word had entered the Telugu vocabulary, and meant "village account". Among scholars, the term became popular when Colin Mackenzie's project to compile rural archives used it to describe the compiled village histories. History The kaifiyats are written in multiple scripts and languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, and Sanskrit. The largest number of the manuscripts are in Telugu. Even before the kaifiyats were first compiled in the 18th century, the village officials of the Telugu-speaking region maintained chronicles called dandakavile or kavile. The Kakatiya rulers (1158–1323) had established the office of karanam, who maintained such records. The karanam was a village accountant, similar to the patwari of northern India. By the late 18th century, such officials had started compiling local records in form of kaifiyats, transmitting them from one generation to another. The British East India Company officer Colin Mackenzie and his assistants came across the kaifiyats, and valued them as sources of local history. During 1780-1820, Mackenzie and his assistants collected kaifiyats from several villages, often encountering resistance and lack of cooperation from the village officers. Most of these kaifiyats were written down in the late 18th and early 19th century. The colonial historians and the early historians of independent India preferred kaifiyats over other literary sources of history because of verifable details about village economy and genealogy. However, they did not regard these documents as fully reliable because of the presence of mythical sections. Several later historians have analyzed kaifiyats as a source of history. Contents The kaifiyats vary a lot from one another, and may contain both historical and mythical information: origin stories of the village, often mythological accounts tracing the lineage of important families to the origin list of main rulers of the region land use list of crops and other agricultural products list of animals (including wild animals in the adjoining forests) family histories and genealogies of important families list of land-owning families lists of inam (rent-free) lands accounts of prominent castes history of temple donations transcriptions of epigraphical records References Bibliography Furhter reading Archives in India

71560879	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madakasira%20Fort	Madakasira Fort	Madakasira Fort, also known as Simhagiri, is a hill fort located in the Madakasira town of Sri Sathya Sai district, in Andhra Pradesh, India. The Government of India has designated it as a Monument of National Importance. History According to the Kaifiyat of Madakasira, in 1492, a man named Siruda Rangappa Nayaka established the present-day Madakasira village near an older village called Madakapalle or Mandavyapalle. He named the new village Matakapalle, and built a small fort on the local hill. He was defeated by Muslim chiefs who established their headquarters at the nearby Ratnagiri. In the early 17th century, the fort was held by a local chief, who accepted the suzerainty of the Vijayanagara Empire. The members of the family that established present-day Madakasira, near the former village of Madakapalle, were apparently chiefs of Sira. After the Bijapur Sultanate captured Sira, the ruler of Bijapur granted Madakapalle and the nearby Ratnagiri to these chiefs. The rulers of Bijapur revoked and restored the grant several times. In 1746, the Maratha adventurer Murari Rao established himself at Gooty, and established his suzerainty over several nearby forts, including Madakasira. The chief of Madakasira became his tributary. In 1762, Hyder Ali of Mysore captured the fort after a 4-day siege, supported by the Portuguese troops led by Don António de Noronha, the Bishop of Halicarnasus. Two of Hyder Ali's Portuguese officers - Jose Reiz and Bento de Campos - died during the siege, and Noronha left the alliance shortly after. Murari Rao regained control of the fort after sometime, but Hyder Ali recaptured it soon after. In 1792, Hyder Ali's son Tipu Sultan ceded the area to the Nizam of Hyderabad as per the Treaty of Seringapatam. In 1800, the Nizam ceded it to the British. Structures The fort has several structures and caves, including seven gates. Murari Rao built several of these structures, including temples and the Hinduraya well. He also built a hill-top strcuture called Singe-moothi ("face of lion"), which has four pillars and a big bell. The hilltop has a palace called Rani Mahal, a horse shed, a gym and food storage points. Sri Ramalingeswara temple exists close to the hilltop, with two water ponds. Venkateswara temple exists near the south gate of the fort, and was left incomplete at the time of Hyder Ali's invasion. The Garuda temple was consecrated in the 1990s.

71560921	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lev%20A.C.%20Rosen	Lev A.C. Rosen	Lev A.C. Rosen, also known as L.C. Rosen, is an American author. Biography Rosen was raised in Manhattan, New York, where he still lives today with his husband and their cat, Waterloo. He attended a private high school and came out as gay when he was around 13 years old. In 2006, Rosen received a Master of Fine Arts degree in fiction from Sarah Lawrence College. When he was younger, Rosen attended a Jewish summer camp in Connecticut for several years, the physical layout of which is represented in his novel Camp. Later, he was a counsellor at the camp and was forbidden to mention his sexuality with any of the children. Selected texts Jack of Hearts (2018) Jack of Hearts (and Other Parts) is a young adult novel published October 30, 2018 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. The book follows Jack, a gay teenager who is the center of gossip at his high school. After he starts writing an advice column in his friend's blog, he begins receiving messages from a stalker, making his life worse. The book was generally well-received by critics with Gay Times saying it "might be the most important queer novel of the decade." Kirkus Reviews called the book a "sex-positive and thoughtful romp with humor and heart," while Booklist referred to it as "[f]resh, sex-positive, and unabashedly entertaining." The Guardian wrote, "Part thriller, part down-to-earth guide, this is humane, sex-positive writing of the funniest, filthiest and most heartening kind." School Library Journal said the book is an “essential addition to library collections that serve teens." Although the book wasn't explicitly banned in the United States, Rosen has stated it was "silent[ly] banned" because teachers, schools, and library did not place the book on shelves. On November 4, 2021, the book was permanently removed from circulation from Texas's Keller Independent School District after a parental complaint. On November 15, a parent from Texas's Katy Independent School District used the book as an example to highlight the "vulgarity" of books available in the district's libraries. The district removed Jack of Hearts from shelves the following day. Rosen has responded to the book challenges saying the passages are taken out of context. He further stated that "[a]ll of the questions answered in Jack’s advice column were submitted by real students" and he "consulted with sex education experts to write Jack’s responses, with the goal of providing LGBTQ teens with practical information that’s often omitted from sex ed classes." Camp (2020) Camp is a young adult novel published by May 26, 2020 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. The book tells the story of Randall Kapplehoff, a gay teen who goes every year to a queer summer camp and is finally ready to start a relationship with his crush. Publishers Weekly called the book a "fun, inclusive story that's sex-, romance-, and LGBTQ-positive," while Kirkus Reviews said, "This novel has the appeal of a rom-com movie-makeover but with more substantive explorations." Booklist noted Rosen's attempt to tackle issues present in the LGBT community, such as internal biases and prejudices, ultimately calling the book "[a]n essential pick for teens figuring out who and how to love." The book is currently being adapted into a film directed by and starring Billy Porter. Awards and honors The Guardian named Jack of Hearts (and Other Hearts) one of the Best Books of the Year. In 2020, Camp was named one of the best books of the year by ALMA Magazine, Booklist, Elle, The Guardian, the Today Show, and School Library Journal.

71561092	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notonuphar	Notonuphar	Notonuphar is an extinct genus of water lily in the family Nymphaeaceae. It contains a single species, Notonuphar antarctica. It is only known only from the Eocene-aged La Meseta Formation of Seymour Island, Antarctica. Taxonomy It is notable for being the first water lily known to have inhabited Antarctica. It is known from numerous fossil seeds which are abundant throughout certain horizons of the La Meseta Formation, constituting over 95% of fossil seeds in some areas. The anatomy of these seeds supports a close relationship with the genus Nuphar, a genus presently restricted to the Northern Hemisphere. Morphological analysis also recovers it as being the sister genus of Nuphar. It is the first Gondwanan plant known to be related to Nuphar. The genus name Notonuphar is derived from the Greek word "notos" (meaning "south") and Nuphar, literally translating to "southern Nuphar." The specific epithet antarctica refers to the species being discovered on the continent of Antarctica. Paleobiology During the Eocene, Antarctica was not yet glaciated and had a climate and ecosystem similar to the modern Valdivian temperate rain forest of Chile. Notonuphar is the first discovered Antarctic fossil species known to have inhabited freshwater habitats. It was likely a common plant of freshwater wetlands near the coast. Rivers may have washed Notonuphar seeds from these wetlands into the sea, where they later fossilized. Notonuphar likely shared its freshwater habitat with an undescribed aquatic plant possibly related to Nelumbo, as well as a large, undescribed frog of the genus Calyptocephalella (which was found at the same type locality).

71561195	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023%20Nigerian%20Senate%20elections%20in%20Kano%20State	2023 Nigerian Senate elections in Kano State	The 2023 Nigerian Senate elections in Kano State will be held on 25 February 2023, to elect the 3 federal Senators from Kano State, one from each of the state's three senatorial districts. The elections will coincide with the 2023 presidential election, as well as other elections to the Senate and elections to the House of Representatives; with state elections being held two weeks later. Primaries were held between 4 April and 9 June 2022. Background In the previous Senate elections, two of three incumbent senators were returned with Barau Jibrin (APC-North) and Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya (PDP-South) winning re-election while Rabiu Kwankwaso (PDP-Central) retired. In the Central district, Ibrahim Shekarau regained the seat for the APC with 62% of the vote; the APC held the other two seats as Jibrin was re-elected with 61% of the vote in the North district while Gaya was returned with 55% in the South district. These results were a part of a reassertion of the APC's federal dominance after mass 2018 defections away from the party led by Kwankwaso and his allies. The party unseated almost nearly sweep the state's House of Representatives seats as the state was easily won by APC presidential nominee Muhammadu Buhari with over 75% but still swung towards the PDP and had lower turnout. However, state level elections were much closer as Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje needed a disputed supplementary election to barely beat the PDP's Abba Kabir Yusuf; the House of Assembly elections were also closer but the APC won a sizeable majority. Overview Summary Kano Central The Kano Central Senatorial District covers the local government areas of Dala, Dawakin Kudu, Fagge, Garun Mallam, Gezawa, Gwale, Kano Municipal, Kumbotso, Kura, Madobi, Minjibir, Nasarawa, Tarauni, Ungogo, and Warawa. The incumbent Ibrahim Shekarau (NNPP) was elected with 61.6% of the vote in 2019 as a member of the APC; he defected to the NNPP in May 2022. Shekarau is running for re-election. Primary elections All Progressives Congress During the year prior to the primary, there was a political and legal dispute between the preexisting major factions within the Kano State APC, namely: a faction led by outgoing Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and the G-7 group, led by Shekarau and Kano North Senator Barau Jibrin. The leadership crisis ended in a court ruling that legitimized Ganduje's faction; in response, Shekarau left the APC and joined his longtime rival—former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso—in the NNPP. In the wake of Shekarau's defection, Abdulsalam Abdulkarim Zaura—an Ganduje ally and erstwhile gubernatorial candidate—switched to the senatorial race. On the primary date, Abdulkarim Zaura and former Senator Basheer Garba Mohammed contested the election at the Sani Abacha Indoor Sports Complex in Kano; results showed Abdulkarim Zaura winning by a large margin but Mohammed rejected the results noting reports that Ganduje had interfered in favour of Abdulkarim Zaura by threatening delegates. Another potential issue for Abdulkarim Zaura was his ongoing trial for fraud which some party members claimed should have disqualified his candidacy. New Nigeria Peoples Party The national NNPP announced its primary schedule on 12 April 2022, setting its expression of interest form price at ₦0.5 million and the nomination form price at ₦2.5 million with forms being sold from 10 April to 5 May. The rest of the timetable was revised on 19 May; after the purchase and submission of forms, senatorial candidates were to be screened by a party committee on 25 May while the screening appeal process was slated for the next day. Ward congresses are set for 22 April to elect delegates for the primary. Candidates approved by the screening process will advance to a primary set for 28 May, in concurrence with all other NNPP senatorial primaries; challenges to the result can be made the next day. The primary date was later shifted again, to 5 June. In early 2022, former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and many of his allies defected from the PDP to join the NNPP making it one of Kano State's major parties; while Kwankwaso and Shekarau are longtime rivals, Shekarau fought with Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje. The G-7 group, led by Shekarau and Kano North Senator Barau Jibrin lost a court battle with Ganduje's faction after months of an APC leadership tussle, leading Shekarau to leave the APC and join the NNPP just before the primaries. In the primary held in Gezawa, Shekarau was nominated unopposed like other NNPP senatorial nominees. People's Democratic Party In the years before the primaries, the Kano State PDP split between two factions: one group led by former minister Aminu Wali while the other was supported by former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso. However, in early 2022, Kwankwaso and many of his allies defected from the PDP to join the NNPP. Despite the defections, other Kwankwaso allies remained in the PDP and continued to battle Wali's faction for control of the party. Due to this factionalization, the groups held separate senatorial primaries while both claimed to be the legitimate party structure. Unlike the other two senatorial districts, the Kano Central primaries held on schedule with former MHR Danburam Abubakar Nuhu being nominated by one primary while Laila Buhari was nominated by the other primary. Campaign Soon after the primaries, pundits cast doubt on the stability of Shekarau's electoral position due to his newfound alliance with Kwankwaso. By early August, these doubts were confirmed as Shekarau and his allies began publicly lamenting Kwankwaso's allegedly broken promises along with disclosing a potential departure from the NNPP. The tensions reached a head when Shekarau separately met with APC presidential nominee Bola Tinubu and PDP presidential nominee Atiku Abubakar while Kwankwaso reportedly attempted to placate Shekarau's camp with promises of appointments. Kano North The Kano North Senatorial District covers the local government areas of Bagwai, Bichi, Dambatta, Dawakin Tofa, Gabasawa, Gwarzo, Kabo, Karaye, Kunchi, Makoda, Rimin Gado, Shanono, Tofa, and Tsanyawa. The incumbent Barau Jibrin (APC), who was elected with 61.4% of the vote in 2019, initially ran for governor of Kano State but withdrew from the gubernatorial race to seek re-election. Primary elections All Progressives Congress During the year prior to the primary, there was a political and legal dispute APC between the preexisting major factions within the Kano State APC, namely: a faction led by outgoing Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and the G-7 group, led by Jibrin and Kano Central Senator Ibrahim Shekarau. The leadership crisis ended in a court ruling that legitimized Ganduje's faction; in response, Jibrin—who had already announced his gubernatorial candidacy—did not defect like other G-7 leaders instead dropping out of the gubernatorial race after Ganduje and party leadership endorsed a different aspirant. When he withdrew from the gubernatorial primary, Jibrin purchased senatorial forms and looked to be heading for a matchup against Ganduje himself, who had purchased senatorial forms earlier. However, in a party reconciliation deal, Ganduje withdrew in favor of Jibrin. On the primary date, Jibrin won renomination unopposed and thanked delegates along with Ganduje in his acceptance speech. New Nigeria Peoples Party The primary in Bichi resulted in Abdullahi Baffa Bichi—the former Executive Secretary of Tertiary Education Trust Fund—emerging as the nominee unopposed. People's Democratic Party On the primary date, PDP figures stated that the primary had not held. Kano South The Kano South Senatorial District covers the local government areas of Ajingi, Albasu, Bebeji, Doguwa, Garko, Gaya, Kibiya, Kiru, Rano, Rogo, Sumaila, Takai, Tudun Wada, and Wudil. Incumbent Kabiru Ibrahim Gaya (APC), who was elected with 64.4% of the vote in 2019, is seeking re-election. Primary elections All Progressives Congress Although Gaya expressed interest in a gubernatorial campaign in 2021, he purchased forms for a re-election bid the next year. Ganduje reportedly backed Gaya for renomination over former MHR Suleiman Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila, leading Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila to join the NNPP to obtain its senatorial nomination. In the primary, he was the sole aspirant and thus was nominated unopposed. New Nigeria Peoples Party The primary in Rano resulted in Suleiman Abdurrahman Kawu Sumaila—former House of Representatives member and former aide to President Muhammadu Buhari—being nominated unopposed. People's Democratic Party On the primary date, PDP figures stated that the primary had not held.

71561391	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert%20J.%20McGuire	Robert J. McGuire	Robert Joseph McGuire (born December 8, 1936) is an American attorney and business executive who served as New York City Police Commissioner from 1978 to 1983. Early life McGuire was born on December 8, 1936 in The Bronx and grew up in Throggs Neck. His father, James McGuire, was a New York City Police Department officer who served as the deputy chief of the Emergency Service Unit. McGuire attended Iona College on a basketball scholarship and earned his law degree from St. John's University School of Law. Legal career From 1962 to 1966, McGuire was an assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He left the US attorney’s office to serve as a legal advisor to the commander of the Somali Police Force. Upon his return to the US he joined the firm of Phillips, Nizer, Benjamin, Rosen, & Ballon and started a program in Harlem that provided legal representation for the poor. McGuire’s program eventually merged with The Legal Aid Society. In 1969 he started a firm with former prosecutor Andrew M. Lawler. Police commissioner On December 15, 1977, mayor-elect Ed Koch announced that McGuire would serve as New York City Police Commissioner in his administration. At the age of 41, he was the youngest NYPD commissioner since Theodore Roosevelt. At the time McGuire took over the department, it was suffering from low morale caused by to layoffs during New York City’s fiscal crisis. As the city’s financial condition improved, the department was able to rehire officers and grant raises as well as adding younger officers and members of minority groups to its force. Under McGuire, the department increased foot patrols and cracked down on career criminals, which led to a modest reduction in crime. In 1979, Koch gave him authority over the New York City Transit Police and the New York City Housing Authority Police Department. McGuire left office on December 30, 1983. His six year stint as New York City’s Police Commissioner was the longest since Lewis Joseph Valentine's decade in office ended in 1945. Business career On January 1, 1984, McGuire joined Pinkerton as chairman and chief executive officer. As CEO, McGuire worked to build up Pinkerton’s investigative division, gain more government contracts, and acquire other businesses. In 1988, Pinkerton was sold by its parent company American Brands, and McGuire was given a lucrative severance package to leave the company. In 1989, McGuire became a senior managing director of Kroll Inc. In 1990, Kroll was hired by Covenant House’s board of directors to investigate its founder and president Bruce Ritter. The investigation, led by McGuire, found that Ritter had engaged in sexual and financial misconduct and faulted the board for not exercising proper oversight. In 1991, McGuire was named Kroll’s president and chief operating officer. He remained with Kroll until it was purchased by Equifax in 1997. Other public sector work In 1990, McGuire was appointed to a 4-year term on the New York City Conflicts of Interest Board by mayor David Dinkins. In 1992 he was chosen to serve as a special master charged with breaking up Thomas Gambino’s Garment District trucking business. In 2002 he was named chairman of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's charter revision commission. Personal life In 1972, McGuire married Joan Wroldsen. They have two children one of whom, Brendan McGuire, is the chief legal counsel to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. The McGuires own a 40 acre farm in Connecticut. He is a member of the Roman Catholic Church.

71561396	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest%20Augustus%20Kellner	Ernest Augustus Kellner	Ernest Augustus Kellner (26 January 1792 – 18 July 1839) was an English singer, pianist, teacher and composer. After performing under royal patronage at an early age, he studied in Italy and became a teacher and performer in England and Italy, also giving concerts elsewhere in Europe. Life Kellner was born in Windsor, Berkshire in 1792, the son of an oboe player from Saxe-Weimar in Queen Charlotte's private band. Before he was two years of age he began to learn the piano; at five he played one of Handel's concertos before the royal family. His boy's voice was regarded as having a beautiful quality, and was trained, at the King's wish, by Sir William Parsons. Kellner first sang at a court concert when eight years old. He continued under the immediate patronage of royalty until his father made engagements for him to sing in public. After this the child was heard at the Glee Club, Catch Club, and Ancient Concerts (as soloist in 1802). In 1805 Kellner was a midshipman on , and afterwards on ; but when this ship was ordered to a West Indian station his parents induced him to leave the navy. His voice had changed to a baritone. In 1809–10 he had some instruction from Venanzio Rauzzini in Bath, Somerset, and sang at the Theatre Royal. He afterwards made tours with Charles Incledon, and was engaged in 1813–14 for concerts in London. In 1815 he married, went to Italy, and studied with great industry under Porri in Florence, and in 1817 under Casella and Andrea Nozzari in Naples, where he gave two concerts, and under Girolamo Crescentini in Bologna. When passing through the principal towns of Switzerland, Bavaria and Saxe-Weimar, Kellner gave successful soirées musicales, at which he was accustomed to sing four pieces and to play the same number. He settled in London as a teacher in December 1820, and sang in the following three seasons at the Philharmonic and other London concerts. A contemporary criticism complained that the rich lower tones of Kellner's voice had passed away, and that "its extension upwards by no means compensated for the loss. At the fifth Philharmonic concert he sang Ferdinando Paer's 'Se far sogno i miei tormenti', but with little of the characteristic marking which the author intended, or which just feeling and good taste would dictate.... His technical knowledge is unquestionable; he wants the poetry of his art." The Harmonicon of 1823 records Kellner's co-operation in concerted vocal music, but makes no mention of soli, during that season. He sang in the provinces with Angelica Catalani in 1822. Kellner was also appointed choirmaster at the Bavarian Chapel; but in 1824 he left England for Venice, where he sang at La Fenice with success. An illness obliged him to cancel an engagement at Parma, where, however, a mass of his composition was performed at the archduchess's chapel, and he was appointed court pianist. He taught music in Florence for some time. In the course of a concert tour in 1828 he visited Odesa and St Petersburg (1829–33), Paris, and London again (1834), where he employed himself in teaching and writing. He died on 18 July 1839. Works Kellner's hundred or more manuscript compositions include several masses performed at the Bavarian Chapel; an unfinished dramatic piece founded on the revolution in Poland; some lyrical and other poems, and essays on musical education. His published songs include "County Guy" and "The lasses with a simpering air" (1824?); "The Blind Mother", "Speak on", "Shepherd's Chief Mourner", "Medora's Song", and "Though all my dreams" (1835–9). Kellner composed a symphony and fugue for voices in Bologna, which obtained for him the membership of the Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna.

71561440	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brighton%20Bathing%20Boxes	Brighton Bathing Boxes	The Brighton Bathing Boxes are 88 beach huts on Dendy Street Beach in Brighton, Victoria, Australia. They are a significant tourist attraction for the area. Construction The Brighton Bathing Boxes are built in a uniform way with Victorian features, painted weatherboards and corrugated iron roof, due to a Planning Scheme Heritage Overlay. Owners are allowed to paint their huts, causing a mass of different bright colours. They do not have water or electricity connections. History The Brighton Bathing Boxes were first built in the 1860s, across the Brighton coastline, to protect the modesty of bathers. In 1934, bathing boxes on other beaches were moved to Dendy Street Beach, and to the top of the beach, instead of the high-water mark, where they were located previously. In 1983, the Coastal Caucus Committee decided to phase out 2000 buildings along the Port Phillip Bay, including the Brighton Bathing Boxes. Among others, the Brighton Bathing Box Association decided to fight the decision, and in 1985, the Bathing Boxes were recommended for retention, with the huts being heritage-listed in 2000. In 2009, the City of Bayside built 9 more huts at the southern end of the beach to raise money in light of the Global Financial Crisis, raising the number to 88. This was done despite the objections of heritage groups, as boxes previously built there had flooded. Erosion The Brighton Bathing Boxes are at threat of erosion, which has caused sandbags to be installed, in order to stop flooding. Sand has also been trucked in, in an attempt to stop erosion and replenish sand on the beach. References Culture of Melbourne Buildings and structures in Melbourne Tourist attractions in Melbourne

71561552	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February%202004%20Nabire%20earthquakes	February 2004 Nabire earthquakes	The February 2004 Nabire earthquakes began on February 6 at 06.05 WIT in Papua, Indonesia. The first of three large earthquakes measured 7.0 on the moment magnitude scale (). It was followed a few days later by two strong shocks, measuring 7.3 and 6.7, respectively. The earthquakes were felt at Nabire with a maximum Mercalli intensity of VI (Strong). At least 37 people were killed and were 682 injured, and over 2,600 buildings were damaged or destroyed. Tectonic setting Eastern Indonesia is broadly characterized by complex tectonics in which motions of numerous small microplates are accommodating large-scale convergence between the Australian, Pacific, Philippine Sea, and Sunda plates. The interactions of these microplates produce all possible faulting mechanisms. The region is seismically active—a magnitude 7.9 earthquake in 1979 was among the strongest ever recorded. Earthquakes According to the United States Geological Survey, the February 5 earthquake was the result of shallow oblique normal faulting on or near a transform fault. A focal mechanism of the event indicate it occurred on either a near-vertical right-lateral strike-slip fault trending southeast-northwest, or on a shallower left-lateral fault striking towards the northeast, parallel to the regional plate boundary. The February 7 earthquake was the result of shallow strike-slip faulting in approximately the same fault area. Rupture during the second earthquake occurred on either a left-lateral east-west oriented fault or a right-lateral fault trending north-south. The earthquakes struck along the transform fault boundary which separates the Birds Head and the Maoke microplates. The east-northeast trending boundary accommodates approximately /yr of left-lateral motion. While the February 7 earthquake slightly oblique to this orientation, the east-west plane of its focal mechanism is more consistent with motion along this plate boundary. Impact The initial earthquake on February 5 caused 37 fatalities and left 682 injured. Around the epicenter area, at least 2,678 structures were damaged or destroyed, including nine bridges. An official said that many people died due to collapsing homes. In Nabire, the airport runway was damaged and power outages were reported. The walls of many buildings toppled, including those of homes, places of worship, and offices. Telecommunication services were interrupted. Downtown Nabrie was extensively damaged; a hospital, the court bulding, and many shophouses were destroyed. Some residential areas and a local market caught fire. Bridges collapsed, roads cracked, and many trees fell. A leak was discovered at a Pertamina oil refinery. There were no casualties reported from the larger earthquake on February 7 despite that being anticipated. Aftermath Earlier reports indicated that 22 people had died and over 100 were injured, but officials said the casualty numbers were expected to rise. The injured were taken to various hospitals, including one who was transported to Surabaya. Two victims died while being treated. The Biak Numfor Regency government said that they were ready to assist the affected people. The first aircraft carrying relief supplies arrived at Nabire airport on February 9. Some victims were treated at the Nabire Hospital, which sustained damage. Survivors took refuge in tents outside their homes for fear of aftershocks. The Indonesian Red Cross provided assistance to medical professionals in the area. A medical team from Jayapura was expected to arrive on February 10. The Australian government provided AU $50 thousand to the International Federation of the Red Cross for relief supplies such as personal hygiene kits, tents, tarpaulins and blankets. It also said that should the Indonesian government request for assistance, it would provide assistance.

71561628	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunong%20house	Bunong house	Bunong house (ផ្ទះឞូន៝ងពីបុរាណ) are circular straw houses built by the Bunong people in Cambodia and Vietnam. Description Structure: thatched grass roof and flattened bamboo walls The traditional Bunong house is built with almost no legs and has a thatched grass roof and flattened bamboo walls. The architecture is close to the conical Mbaru Niang house of rumah adat traditional houses built in any of the vernacular architecture styles of Indonesia, collectively belonging to the Austronesian architecture. If the habitat of the Bunong can be interpreted as a sign of their mindset, the single common room where the family gathers around the central fire of the Bunong house "speaks to the global and intimate as mutually constituted entities". Inner design: dark rooms and precious artefacts The traditional Bunong house has no windows and the main door is the only source of light. This results in a rather dark atmosphere inside the house where fire and oil lamps are the main source of artificial light. Bunong houses are the treasure chest of the most valuable artefacts of the local people, namely large jars, which are sometimes believed more than a thousand years old. The jars are used for drinking sra peang. In the houses, the Bunong also keep there traditional gongs. There are various gongs used at different occasions. Rites The traditional Bunong house gives a lot of room to the local spirits different from the Cambodian neak ta. The household rice is thus kept in the house in a central cellar protected by a rice spirit as the head of the house (njoh baa). A main altar (kuat njoh), and the fireplace (lu-nak) are also consecrated to the local spirits (brah jaang). When these spirits are disturbed, rituals such as sacrifices of chicken and rites of purification are made to repair the relationship with the local good. However, as the Bunong population embraces Christianity, these rites are being replaced by images of the Divine Mercy and the Our Lady of Sorrows and Christians ask their priests to celebrate house blessings. A traditional Bunong house was thus built at the Catholic church of Bou Sra. Conservation Bunong houses can still be seen in Mondulkiri in villages such as Dak Dam. Many of the traditional houses were burned and bombed during the Cambodian Civil War or left in disrepair after continuous movement of the populations caught in the Vietnam War. While since the 2010s the Khmer-style house on pillars and the more modern phteah lveng are growing more popular, the traditional Bunong house can still be seen in the villages however. More recently, Traditional housing has been threatened by deforestation and real estate development. The disappearance of the Bunong house has become a symbol of the "sense of urgency to protect the culture of ethnic minorities". However, the Bunong community and other non-governmental organizations such as Refugees International have been careful to protect and rebuild this heritage, in order to create village centres for producing Bunong handicrafts. Visiting and sleeping in a Bunong house has become an integral part of community-owned ecotourism in Mondulkiri.

71561687	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disappearance%20of%20Michelle%20Lewis	Disappearance of Michelle Lewis	Michelle Coral Lewis is an Australian woman who disappeared on the night of 14 January 1989 while riding home on a mountain bike after spending time at a friend's house in the suburb of Kawana in the regional Australian city of Rockhampton, Queensland. In 2022, the Queensland Government offered a reward of $500,000 for information into Lewis' disappearance. Background Born in 1967, Lewis had been abandoned by her mother when she was just a few weeks old, and subsequently raised by her grandmother. Lewis attended Glenmore State High School and was described as a "tomboy", "very independent" and was friends with only a handful of girls. When Lewis' grandmother died, Adeline "Dell" Salhus fostered Lewis. Salhus' adult children lived in Tully but her 19-year-old grandson Kenny Harris, who had cerebral palsy, lived with her at the time of Lewis' disappearance. Lewis and Harris became friends and were said to be protective of each other. After leaving school, Lewis worked various jobs including at a piggery and a panel beater's shop. Before she went missing, Harris and Lewis were known to be regulars at the popular Flamingo's nightclub in the city centre. Disappearance Lewis had spent approximately four years living with her foster mother prior to her disappearance. On the night of 14 January 1989, Lewis had been spending time with her friend Kerry Bartley, watching movies at Bartley's Stenlake Avenue home in the suburb of Kawana. Lewis and Bartley had been friends since they became neighbours when they were both aged 13. At around 10:45pm, Lewis left Bartley's house on a maroon and white Malvern Star mountain bike, wearing a pink tie-dyed singlet top (with the word "SURF" imprinted on the front in yellow lettering) and a pair of boardshorts, intending to ride a short distance to her home in Alexandra Street. It was the final time Lewis or her mountain were seen. When Salhus awoke on the morning of 15 January 1989 and found no trace of her foster daughter or her much-loved mountain bike, she reported Lewis missing. Harris was distraught and searched for her in many places and became "obsessed" with finding her, even turning up at locations were police were searching to watch them work. When asked what he was doing there, he would say "she's my mate." Investigation A major police investigation, led by detective Ann Gumley, was launched but despite a large number of interviews conducted and statements obtained, police found no indication of how Lewis had disappeared. Speaking about the case in 2013, Gumley said: "If you find that bike, you'll find Michelle." A man phoned the Rockhampton Police Station on 18 February 1989 who claimed to have information relating to Lewis' disappearance but hung up before detectives could speak with him. In 2022, police urged this person to contact them again. The case was reviewed in 1999 as part of the investigation into Rockhampton serial killer Leonard John Fraser, but there was no information to suggest he had been involved. Fraser was serving time for rape at the time of Lewis' disappearance but there were suggestions that he left correctional facilities with low security on occasion. Following calls from Gumley for the Homicide Cold Case Investigation Unit to re-examine the case, the team began reviewing the Michelle Lewis investigation in 2021. In 2022, Detective Senior Sergeant Tara Kentwell said they were confident the case could be solved, but the police now strongly suspected that Lewis had been murdered around the time she went missing. Salhus' grandson Kenny Harris moved back to Tully, where he was murdered in January 2003 by 41-year-old Shaun Danny Dennis who was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty in the Cairns Supreme Court in April 2004. Salhus had wanted to write a book about her foster daughter but died in 2012. Reward During National Missing Persons Week in 2022, the Queensland Government announced that a reward of $500,000 was being offered to anyone who gives information about Lewis' suspected murder that leads to the conviction of the person or persons responsible. The substantial reward attracted considerable media interest. References Missing person cases in Australia 1989 crimes in Australia 1980s missing person cases
71561715	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konginkangas	Konginkangas	Konginkangas is a settlement and former municipality of Finland in the Central Finland region. It was consolidated with Äänekoski in 1993. The municipality bordered Äänekoski, Saarijärvi, Kannonkoski, Viitasaari, Vesanto, Konnevesi and Sumiainen. Until 1969, it bordered Äänekosken maalaiskunta instead of Äänekoski. The national road 4 goes through Konginkangas and the distance between Äänekoski proper and Konginkangas is about 20 km. Geography Villages Konginkangas or Konginkankaan kirkonkylä Riihilahti (~10 permanently inhabited houses) Liimattala (~400 residents) Laajaranta (~50 houses) Räihä Kalaniemi The area of the former municipality also has many summer houses. Lakes Konginkangas is located by the large lake Keitele. Smaller lakes include Rahkojärvi, Särkilampi, Ahvenlampi and Lekojärvi. History Name Konginkangas is named after the oldest farm in the area, named after the nearby terrain (kangas, a type of forest). The kongin- element is unclear, but possibly related to the dialectal word konkale, "big tree". Alternatively it comes from the name of the settler Pietari Heikinpoika Konkki, where Konkki refers to the Konkkila farm in Pälkäne. Other toponyms with the kongin- element can be found elsewhere in Finland, for example Konginniemi in Kiuruvesi. Early history Tavastian people used the area as hunting grounds in the 9th century, but did not settle there permanently. Konginkangas was first mentioned in 1561 as Kånckinkas. At the time it was a part of the large Rautalampi parish. It was originally the name of a farm owned by Lauri Leinonen, who originated from either Savonia or Messukylä. Most settlers in the area were Savonian people. When the Viitasaari parish was separated from Rautalampi in 1635, Konginkangas was included in it. Liimattala The village of Liimattala was also established in the late 16th century. It was originally known as Pyyrinlahti, while Liimattala was the name of the first farm in the area. Liimattala was never a part of Viitasaari, but a village within the Saarijärvi parish instead. During the Cudgel War, a battle took place on the Kurikkaharju near Liimattala in December 1596. The peasants of Lapua, Lappajärvi, Kivijärvi, Karstula and Saarijärvi managed to defeat their enemies here. Pyyrinlahti was Saarijärvi's wealthiest village in the 17th century. Court meetings for Saarijärvi and Viitasaari were held at the lands of the Liimattala farm. The name Liimattala has been used for the village at least since 1788. Separation Konginkangas became a chapel community in 1867. Parts of the chapel community were also taken from the Saarijärvi parish to the west. The chapel community was also called Kömi, as the church was built on the lands of the farm of the same name. The Kömi farm was first mentioned in 1744. In 1866, the Konginkangas church was built. It was designed by Jaakko Kuorikoski. Building a large church was challenging at the time, as Konginkangas only had 32 houses. The church was renovated between 1898 and 1899. The church has room for 550 people. Konginkangas became a separate parish and municipality in 1895, though the municipal government was selected earlier in April 18, 1868. Merger In 1991, the people of Konginkangas voted whether they wanted their municipality to join Äänekoski or not. 79,6% of eligible voters turned up and 53% voted against the merger. Despite this, Konginkangas was consolidated with Äänekoski in 1993. Owing to its distance from Äänekoski, the villages of Konginkangas still have a separate identity from Äänekoski today. In culture Akseli Gallen-Kallela has made paintings about Konginkangas, among them Keitele, painted in 1904-1905. Said painting has four different versions, one of which is held in the National Gallery of London. Niemelän torppa on Seurasaari in Helsinki consists of buildings relocated from Konginkangas.

71561753	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verschure%20%26%20Co%27s	Verschure & Co's	Verschure & Co's was a shipbuilding company and machine factory in Amsterdam. Context The shipping line Verschure & Co created its own repair shop in the Oosterdok, Amsterdam in the early 20th century. This was a floating repair shop, the changed paddle steamer Stad Zwolle. In 1908 it became a real shipyard on a terrain on the north shore of the IJ. This was at Meeuwenlaan, and the later Motor Canal. The terrain was leased from the municipality of Amsterdam. Verschure thus became a complete shipyard, but it was still primarily meant for repairing the shipping line's ships. It immediately got electricity for lighting and machinery, instead of using steam. The shipyard was also successful in doing work for others. In 1912 it built its first ships for the shipping line. In 1913 Verschure & Co. became a separate private limited company, the N.V. Verschure & Co's Scheepswerf en Machinefabriek. The capital stock was 300.000 guilders, of which 150.000 actually bought. Ing. A.J.M. (Ton) Verschure became its first chief executive. In 1915/1916 Verschure & Co's got a new shipyard on the Johan van Hasselt Canal with two slipways. In 1918 this was extended with a new boiler factory and smithy. The facility was completed in 1919, when it got its own floating dry dock. This dry dock was bought in Germany, where it had been used for submarines. Interwar period After World War I international shipbuilding had a few years of very high demand. In 1920 Verschure and Co's had 900 employees. From 1922 to 1924 Verschure lost money, and the number of employees dropped to 300. A turning point was the 1923 order for two tin dredgers, which would become a specialization. The other specialization of Verschure were floating grain elevators. The 1930s were very bad, with staff dropping to only 240 employees in 1934. From then business improved for Verschure with orders for dredging equipment for the Zuiderzee Works. IHC Industriële Handels Combinatie IHC In 1943 the partnership Industriële Handels Combinatie IHC was founded by six companies specialized in dredging equipment. In October 1944 the shipyard and factory with its dry dock, floating sheerleg and crane were almost completely destroyed by the occupation forces. Recovery was quick, and in November 1946 the first post-war tin dredger was launched. Like many other Dutch shipyards, Verschure profited from the post-war boom in shipbuilding. Because of space limitations a new machine factory DMN was founded in Noordwijkerhout in 1951. In 1952 Verschure acquired part of the recently founded Oranjewerf, and became its manager. In 1954 Verschure had 1,100 employees. In 1958 it got its second dry dock. In 1959 Verschure got total ownership of the Oranjewerf. IHC Holland In 1965, Verschure and four other partners of IHC founded the holding IHC Holland. In 1971 the companies themselves were merged into IHC Holland NV. This new company had to deal with the European shipbuilding crisis that started in the 1970s. In 1978 Gusto Shipyard in Schiedam was closed down. At that time, the Amsterdam activities of IHC consisted of three parts. The machine factory and head office were on the Meeuwenlaan. New ships were built at Verschure shipyard at Zamenhofstraat. Ship repair was done at the Oranjewerf. In 1979 Verschure & Co's shipyard was closed down. In 1989 the inventory of the machine factory and the dry dock were moved to the Oranjewerf. The terrain and buildings were sold to the municipality. References Notes Defunct companies of the Netherlands Shipbuilding companies of the Netherlands

71561780	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leucopogon%20diversifolius	Leucopogon diversifolius	Leucopogon diversifolius is a species of flowering plant in the heath family Ericaceae and is endemic to the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with more or less glabrous young branchlets, spirally arranged, erect, broadly egg-shaped, elliptic or more or less circular leaves, and white, broadly bell-shaped flowers sometimes with a pink tinge. Description Leucopogon diversifolius is an erect shrub that typically grows up to about high and wide with a single stem at the base. The leaves are spirally arranged and point upwards, egg-shaped to elliptic or more or less circular, long and wide on a petiole long. The flowers are arranged in groups of 3 to 10, long on the ends of branches and in upper leaf axils, with egg-shaped bracts long and similar bracteoles long. The sepals are egg-shaped, long and tinged with purple near the tip, the petals white and joined at the base to form a broadly bell-shaped tube long, the lobes long and often tinged with pink. Flowering mainly occurs from May to July and the fruit is a cylindrical drupe long. Taxonomy and naming This leucopogon as was first formally described in 2009 by Michael Clyde Hislop who gave it the name Leucopogon heterophyllus in the journal Nuytsia from specimens he collected near Munglinup in 2007, but that name was illegitimate because it had already been used for a different species, now known as Leucopogon fasciculatus. In 2015, Hislop changed the name to Leucopogon diversifolius. The specific epithet (diversifolius) means "various-leaved", referring to the variable leaf morphology of this species. Distribution and habitat Leucopogon diversifolius grows in the shrub layer of mallee woodlands and occurs mainly between Ravensthorpe, Lake King and Cascade in the Esperance Plains and Mallee bioregions in south-western Western Australia. Conservation status Leucopogon decrescens is classified as "not threatened" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions References diversifolius Ericales of Australia Flora of Western Australia Plants described in 2009

71561902	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spyros%20Pomonis	Spyros Pomonis	Spyros Pomonis (; 14 February 1944 – 28 July 2020) was a Greek international football player who played as a forward and a later manager. Club career Early years Pomonis since he was young played football with the children of his neighborhood, at the sandlot behind the Rizoupoli Stadium. In 1959 Kleanthis Maropoulos saw him there suggested that he join the infrastructure departments of AEK Athens. Thus, at the age of 15, little Pomonis joined the club's infrastructure departments and was a member of the youth teams of the AEK that won many Championships in the early 1960's, under the historical director Dimitris Tragos, having teammates sucha as Giorgos Karafeskos, Nikos Sevastopoulos, Stelios Konstantinidis, Giorgos Lavaridis, Stefanos Theodoridis, Lefteris Istorios, Kostas Triantafyllou, Dimitis Liakouris and Michalis Simigdalas. AEK Athens Pomonis was promoted to the men's team earlier than his teammates as he impressed with his abilities. He made his debut in the first team on 12 March 1961 in a 0–0 away draw against Aris, beeing the youngest player to ever compete with the club. He was a player with great technical skills and competing in the position of the left winger, he caused the admiration of the fans by running up and down the opposing defenses. In December 1967 in the 1–4 away victory over Olympiacos, he continuously dribbled and ridiculed his personal opponent, Orestis Pavlidis and even the attempts by the captain of the team, Andreas Stamatiadis to "admonish" him during the match in order to simplify his way of playing for AEK to reach an even wider dominance instead prooved ultimately fruitless. The young Pomonis eventually insisted on humiliating his opponent at all costs, scoring once AEK missed the opportunity for a wider victory against the red and whites and Pavlidis took the decision that the role of referee suited him better, by retiring as a footballer. He was one of the main players in the squad that reached the quarter-finals of the European Cup in 1969. He achieved a hat-trick on 13 September 1970 in a Cup match against the lower-tier club Kipoupoli, where they triumphed by winning 20–0. In 15 February 1970 he shined at the derby against Panathinaikos at Leoforos Alexandras Stadium scoring the winner at the end of the first half. He scored once in a European match on 15 September 1971 as he the goal that opened the score at the 14th minute against Internazionale at San Siro in the 4–1 defeat for the first round of the European Cup. He had a decisive contribution to AEK winning 2 Championships and 2 Cups. On 4 February 1973 he scored for the last time in the yellow and black shirt in a league match in Kavala at home when he equalized 1-1 five minutes before the end. He played his last game for AEK at Peristeri Stadium on 20 May 1973 in the away win defeat Atromitos. Later career In the summer of 1973, he left AEK and played for a season at Ethnikos Piraeus, where he ended his career as a proffessional footballer. In the summer of 1974 he was transferred to the team of Saronikos, as a veteran he now competed in the amateur local championship of Piraeus. International career Pomonis played with Greece U19 in the 1962 UEFA European Under-18 Championship. He also played with the Olympic team on 8 April 1964, in an impressive 4–1 home win over Great Britain for the pre-Olympic tournament ahead of the 1964 Summer Olympics. He also had 4 caps with Greece scoring once. On 4 March 1972 he scored his only goal at the 55th minute of a friendly match against Italy at Karaiskakis Stadium in a 2–1 win, when after a corner execution by Domazos, Antoniadis with a header laid the ball to him who scored. Managerial career Completing his football career, Pomonis involved with coaching and in particular with infrastructure departments, starting at AO Pera Club. He was in 1987 season on the bench of APS Zakynthos for a season. The chronic pathogenicity of Greek football and the foreign situations that prevail in it even in the small sections of the teams disappointed him to such an extent that he gave up any involvement in football. Personal life Pomonis had always remained a member of the Veterans Association of AEK Athens and was almost always present at their events. He passed away on 28 July 2020 after long-term health problems.

71561912	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hole%C5%A1ov%20barracks%20incident	Holešov barracks incident	The Holešov barracks incident was a conflict between the Soviet soldiers and members of the 7th Parachute Regiment of special deployment of the Czechoslovak People's Army. Czechoslovak paratroopers prevented Soviet soldiers from entering the Holešov barracks during the invasion of the Warsaw Pact troops into Czechoslovakia during the incident. Events Around 5 a.m. on 21 August 1968, an elite tank battalion from Lviv entered Holešov, which in the following hours surrounded the Holešov barracks. The Soviet command made it extremely important to surround the elite airborne units of the Czechoslovak army even before their commanders recovered. He failed to do so. The Czechoslovak paratroopers, who belonged to the elite of the army and who were trained to carry out diversions, were woken up at three o'clock in the morning by a battle alarm. The commanders of the barracks, led by lieutenant colonel Vladimír Košan, decided to defend the barracks. It was the only barracks in the whole of Czechoslovakia that did not fall under the control of the Soviet Army on August 21. The first clash took place at the gate of the barracks. When a Soviet soldier at the gate of the barracks asked: "How come you have weapons?", he received the answer "You have them too!". The paratroopers refused to surrender the barracks and were ready to fight. They were armed with plastic explosives, anti-tank missiles, submachine guns and parachutes. In the morning, the paratroopers received a message from the command of the Intelligence Administration of the General Staff (military intelligence) that the leading representatives of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union had been kidnapped. At the same time, they were given the task of freeing them and bringing them back. The paratroopers tried to get information about Alexandr Dubček's whereabouts. Reports were inconclusive. According to some, Dubček was supposed to be in a secret location in Czechoslovakia, others spoke of Poland or the area of the former Subcarpathian Rus. Therefore, on the night of August 21–22, ten armed men in civilian clothes were secretly taken out of the barracks in Holešov, at which the guns of the Soviet tanks were aimed, to guard strategic objects in the city, and sixty men with weapons and supplies to the nearby forests as a preparatory phase for eventual action. The 60-member detachment continued in groups to the village of Přílepy via the shooting range in Dobrotice, where it hid in dugouts. After three days of waiting in the forest, however, the commando returned to the barracks in silence. It became clear that Dubček and other Czechoslovak politicians are already in Moscow, and the plan to rescue them is therefore unrealistic. In the end, there was no armed conflict. The Holešov soldiers managed to convince the Soviets to turn the tanks' guns to the opposite side. After a few days, the occupiers retreated to the surrounding streets and fields. Later, they anchored by the forest in Přílep, a few kilometers away, where they stayed until October. Aftermath The soldiers of the 7th Parachute Regiment were accused of anti-Soviet attitudes and the unit was disbanded in 1969. Some of the soldiers and commanders moved to other units. Holešov paratroopers together with other intelligence units from Zbiroh and Litoměřice also ensured free radio broadcasting with their radios. All of them were subsequently accused of high treason. The commander of the regiment was lieutenant colonel Vladimír Košan (1927–2010), but also the chief of staff, Major Jiří Dufek (1932–2018) and the former commander of the regiment Miroslav Šedina (1930–2010), who at the time served in the Intelligence Service of the General Staff, under which the Holešovský unit fell , were dismissed from the army and politically persecuted. The communist regime tried to hide the incident from the public, like other inconvenient events for it. The soldiers did not lose contact with each other, and after the fall of the regime in 1994, they founded the Holešov Airborne Veterans Club. In addition to a number of beneficial activities, they annually commemorate the dramatic events of August 1968. In December 2018, the President of the Senate, Jaroslav Kubera, awarded them a commemorative certificate of the Senate.

71561955	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybille%20Volkholz	Sybille Volkholz	Sybille Volkholz is a German educationalist and a former Berlin senator. Life and works Sybille Volkholz was born at Dramburg (as it was known before the frontier changes mandated in 1945), a small manufacturing and market town in Pomerania, positioned at the edge of the marshy flatland east of Stettin. Her birth coincided with the start of an eighteen month period of intensive ethnic cleansing. She grew up and, till 1963, attended school far to the west, in Essen. She went on to study Sociology at Bonn, Cologne and the WWU (university) at Münster, from where in 1967 she received her first degree. That was followed by a three year stint between 1967 and 1970 as a research assistant at the (subsequently expanded and in 1971 rebranded) Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, while studying for a career in the teaching profession. Then came a period of study in schools-level teaching at the College of Education (“Pädagogische Hochschule”) in West Berlin. Between 1972 and 1979 she taught at a secondary school in Berlin-Charlottenburg. Between August 1979 and March 1989, she attended a Teachers’ Training college (subsequently redesignated as a “Fachschule für Sozialpädagogik”) in the city. As a teaching student and during her “Lehramtsreferendariat” (period of in school training) Volkholz involved herself in the political aspects of the profession, principally through her involvement in the West Berlin branch of the ”Gewerkschaft Erziehung und Wissenschaft” (GEW)), West Germany’s principal Teachers’ Union. She served as deputy regional chair between 1979 and 1989. The state election conducted in March 1989 was the last state election to be held in West Berlin before reunification took effect. The two leading parties received an identical number of seats in the Berlin parliament, which was widely reported as a defeat for the centre-right CDU (party) which up till this point had secured the largest number of votes and seats in every Berlin state election since 1975. Following difficult negotiations a new coalition administration was agreed under the leadership of Walter Momper of the centre-left SPD. The “junior partner” in the coalition was West Berlin’s Alternative List for Democracy and Protection of the Environment“ (‚‘“Alternativen Liste für Demokratie und Umweltschutz“‘‘ / AL), a grouping with many of the features of a traditional party that had rapidly gained electoral support in West Berlin since its relatively recent creation in 1978. Under the terms of the coalition agreement, e of the 14 members of the Berlin Senate (governing council) were nominated by the AL. For the first time in history, there were more women than men in the senate. All three of the AL senators were women, including the senator for schools, professional education and sports. This portfolio went to Sybille Volkholz. Like her fellow senator Anne Klein She was formally described as a "non-party senator for the the AL”. Volkholz would later recall Mayor Momper’s decision to appoint more females than males to his senate as a “clever move”. He was certainly “no feminist” and there was a sense in which some of the senators “felt used”, but it enabled the mayor to avoid appointing a number of potentially troublesome male colleagues, and the move was viewed favourably by a number of influential commentators. In other respects, relations between the coalition partners remained uneasy. Volkholz found herself repeatedly blocked in her attempts to open up mainstream schools to disabled children: “I went through many battles for a wider acceptance of handicapped children”. One of the unforeseen consequences of the changes of 1989/90 and the reunification of Berlin was that the redevelopment of an area of what had been East Berlin, which had been cleared for rebuilding, was postponed. The area in question quickly became home to a very large number of squatters. In order to move matters on, in November 1990 the Berlin senate ordered one of Berlin's largest police operations of the postwar era in order to remove the squatters and seal the area off to prevent their return. The so-called Clearing of the Mainzer Street involved ten water canon trucks, helicopters, tear gas, guns and around 3,000 policemen. This belt and braces approach was widely seen as heavy handed. There was serious street fighting: there were complaints. It turned out that Erich Pätzold, the SPD senator whose portfolio covered the issue of squatter clearance, had neither alerted his three Green Party ministerial colleagues to his plans nor involved them in discussions about it once the exercise was under way. The already uneasy coalition between SPD senators and their Green-facing colleagues broke apart. The three Green senators were persuaded not to pursue their motion of no-confidence, but Sybille Volkholz, along with her like-minded colleagues Michaele Schreyer and Anne Klein, did resign.The Momper administration lost their majority: the political crisis resulting was less acute than might be thought, since new elections had already been scheduled to take place the next month. Following the 1990 Berlin state election Volkholz continued to serve as the the AL spokeswoman on education, retaining the role following the 1993 party merger as a result of which the AL was subsumed into Germany’s newly expanded “Green Party”. It was as a candidate from the party list that in 1990 she was elected to membership of the Berlin state parliament (‘’” Abgeordnetenhaus”’’), in which she retained her seat till 1999. During the early decades of the twenty-first century Volkholz has continued to advocate improvements in the way that Germany organises its schooling. One theme to which she returns derives from the way in which the state has become ever more intrusive in society, notably in the field of education. The belief that the state is willing and able to solve all society’s problems is not merely misguided, but discourages individuals from taking any responsibility for schools. She is an advocate for increased “inclusivity”, and for greater involvement of non-teaching professionals in the functioning of schools, often as volunteers, basing her ideas on an understanding of school organisation in North America. Local business leaders and of course parents could and should be encouraged to become far more hands-on in their involvement with individual schools. To some extent trends in what was West Berlin before 1990 have indeed moved in this direction, not on the basis of some great eureka moment on the part of government, but because ideas championed by Volkholz have become increasingly mainstream. Between 2000 and 2004 Volkholz headed up the Education Commission of the Heinrich Böll Foundation and also led the “Schools-Businesses partnership” of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce. From 2005 till 2015 she teamed up with the VBKI (‘’Association of Berlin Businesspeople and Industrialists’’) to organise a “Citzens’ Education Network” (subsequently renamed “Berlin Reading Sponsorship”) which organises volunteers to help promote and teach reading at primary and secondary schools to children in need of extra encouragement and engagement to master these vital skills. Since 2013 she has played a leading role with the “Training and Education Advisory Board” of the Brandeburg Gate Foundation.
