Willard Peak
Willard Peak is a mountain summit located on the common border Box Elder County shares with Weber County in Utah, United States. Description Willard Peak is situated on the crest of the Wasatch Range which is a subset of the Rocky Mountains, and it is set on land managed by Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The summit is the highest point in Weber County as well as the Northern Wasatch Range. The town of Willard is four miles to the northwest and Ben Lomond Mountain is 1.5 mile to the southeast. The peak is located at the head of Willard Creek and precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes ultimately drains to Great Salt Lake. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 5,500 feet (1,676 meters) above Willard Bay in four miles. History This landform's toponym, which refers to Willard Richards (1804–1854), has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The peak was climbed in 1877 by Samuel Escue Tillman and Rogers Birnie of the Hayden Survey and used as a triangulation station. The survey referred to the peak as "Willard's Peak" in an 1879 published report, and "Willard Peak" has appeared in publications since at least 1895. Back then, "Willard's Peak" might have referred to present-day Ben Lomond Mountain.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle%20for%20Czechoslovak%20Radio
Battle for Czechoslovak Radio
The Battle for Czechoslovak Radiowas a clash between Czechoslovak citizens defending Czechoslovak Radio and soldiers of the Soviet army. 17 unarmed Czechoslovak citizens were killed defending the Czechoslovak Radio on Vinohradská Street in Prague from the occupation of the troops of the invading army on August 21, 1968. When the Soviet troops tried to break into the radio building, its defenders used stones and some of them broke through the external fuel tanks on the tanks with pickaxes, diesel they set fire to and managed to destroy several tanks. This encounter became a symbol of the resistance of the people of Prague against the invasion of foreign armies in 1968. Background On January 5, 1968, Alexander Dubček became the first secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU. It marked the beginning of the so-called Prague Spring. This process began to worry other Eastern Bloc countries, including the USSR. The leadership of the Soviet Union initially attempted to stop or limit the changes in the Czechoslovakia through a series of warnings. After a series of unsuccessful negotiations on the night of August 20 to August 21, 1968, the troops of the five Warsaw Pact states launched an invasion of Czechoslovakia. One of the first targets was Czechoslovak radio, which broadcast uncensored information about the invasion of Warsaw Pact troops and called for calm and quiet resistance to the occupiers. Vladimír Fišer, Eva Kopecká, Věra Šťovíčková, Jiří Dienstbier, Ondřej Neff and others spoke to the audience from the radio. The fighting began at 5 AM. Events A crowd of about five hundred people gathered in front of the building of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Czech Republic, but it is still occupied by Soviet soldiers. 4 people died in the fire. Around seven o'clock, the fights will move to the radio. People built a high barricade in the direction of Wenceslas Square. A few hundred men tried to stop the Soviet advance on it. At half past six, six Soviet tanks arrive directly in front of the radio station. The Praguers greeted the tanks with a shower of stones, but then got into a heated discussion with their crews. This tense situation lasted for several hours. After one tank drove into a barricade formed by a truck and caught fire, the situation changed. One of the defenders of the barricade climbed on top of him and started waving the Czechoslovak flag. The driver tried unsuccessfully to shake him off by maneuvering his machine. Eventually, this person was shot dead by one of the soldiers. This was followed by Soviet soldiers firing at the Czechoslovak people. You ran away. Most headed down to Wenceslas Square or to the surrounding houses. There were many wounded and several dead. An emergency infirmary was set up at the fountain under the National Museum. Still in the afternoon, shooting could be heard from Vinohradská trýda and some houses (Hajnovka) were on fire, but the radio was already occupied by Soviet army.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heike%20Nokyo
Heike Nokyo
The Heike Nōkyō , is a collection of Buddhist religious texts in Japan from the late Heian period. These texts include 33 scrolls of the Lotus Sutra, one Amitabha Sutra scroll, one Heart Sutra scroll and one prayer scroll dedicated to the Itsukushima Shrine. The Nōkyō is written in a form of Japanese known in English as Classical Japanese. It has had a profound influence on Japanese culture and Japanese art and was created during a golden age of Japanese art history. It is one of the masterpieces of decorated sutras ( sôshoku kyô ) of the Heian period Emakimono texts and is considered a National Treasure of Japan. History and development The Nōkyō was commissioned by the Taira clan and dedicated by Taira no Kiyomori (1118-81CE) to Itsukushima Shrine in 1164CE in a prayer scroll (Heike Nogyo).It was made by aristocratic circles in the 12th century and depicts the tale of the Heike, numbering 33 to represent the 33 goddesses found at Itsukushima who were said to take the form of Kannon. The Nokyo was written in Classical Japanese, Classical Chinese and the Kana script formatted as Ashida-E (reed writing) representing a votive and relgious work of Heian-specific Art. In 1602, the Rinpa painter Tawaraya Sotatsu was commissioned to restore the Nokyo which affected his painting.

Geography of South Island
The South Island, with an area of , is the largest landmass of New Zealand; it contains about one-quarter of the New Zealand population and is the world's 12th-largest island. It is divided along its length by the Southern Alps, the highest peak of which is Aoraki / Mount Cook at , making it 9th-highest island, with the high Kaikōura Ranges to the northeast. There are eighteen peaks of more than in the South Island. The east side of the island is home to the Canterbury Plains while the West Coast is famous for its rough coastlines such as Fiordland, a very high proportion of native bush, and Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers. The dramatic landscape of the South Island has made it a popular location for the production of several films, including The Lord of the Rings trilogy and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. It lies at similar latitudes to Tasmania (an island south of the Australian mainland), and parts of Patagonia in South America. Geology and earthquakes On 4 September 2010, the South Island was struck by a 7.1 magnitude earthquake, which caused extensive damage, several power outages, and many reports of aftershocks. Five and a half months later, 22 February Christchurch earthquake of 6.3 magnitude caused far more additional damage in Christchurch, resulting in 181 deaths. This quake struck at about lunchtime and was centred closer at Lyttelton, and shallower than the prior quake, consequently causing extensive damage. Climate The climate in the South Island is mostly temperate. The mean temperature for the South Island is . January and February are the warmest months while July is the coldest. Historical maxima and minima are in Rangiora, Canterbury and in Ophir, Otago. Conditions vary sharply across the regions from extremely wet on the West Coast to semi-arid in the Mackenzie Basin of inland Canterbury. Most areas have between of rainfall with the most rain along the West Coast and the least rain on the East Coast, predominantly on the Canterbury Plains. Christchurch is the driest city, receiving about of rain per year while Invercargill is the wettest, receiving about . The southern and south-western parts of South Island have a cooler and cloudier climate, with around 1,400–1,600 hours of sunshine annually; the northern and north-eastern parts of the South Island are the sunniest areas and receive about 2,400–2,500 hours. Climate data Climate change Natural geographic features Fiords The South Island has 15 named maritime fiords which are all located in the southwest of the island in a mountainous area known as Fiordland. The spelling 'fiord' is used in New Zealand rather than 'fjord', although all the maritime fiords use the word Sound in their name instead. A number of lakes in the Fiordland and Otago regions also fill glacial valleys. Lake Te Anau has three western arms which are fiords (and are named so). Lake McKerrow / Whakatipu Waitai to the north of Milford Sound / Piopiotahi is a fiord with a silted-up mouth. Lake Wakatipu fills a large glacial valley, as do lakes Hakapoua, Poteriteri, Monowai and Hauroko in the far south of Fiordland. Lake Manapouri has fiords as its west, north and south arms. The Marlborough Sounds, a series of deep indentations in the coastline at the northern tip of the South Island, are in fact rias, drowned river valleys. Glaciers Most of New Zealand's glaciers are in the South Island. They are generally found in the Southern Alps near the Main Divide. An inventory of South Island glaciers during the 1980s indicated there were about 3,155 glaciers with an area of at least . About a sixth of these glaciers covered more than 10 hectares. These include the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers on the West Coast, and the Haupapa / Tasman, Hooker, Mueller and Murchison glaciers in the east. Lakes There are some 3,820 lakes in New Zealand with a surface area larger than one hectare. Much of the higher country in the South Island was covered by ice during the glacial periods of the last two million years. Advancing glaciers eroded large steep-sided valleys, and often carried piles of moraine (rocks and soil) that acted as natural dams. When the glaciers retreated, they left basins that are now filled by lakes. The level of most glacial lakes in the upper parts of the Waitaki and Clutha / Mata-Au rivers are controlled for electricity generation. Hydroelectric reservoirs are common in South Canterbury and Central Otago, the largest of which is Lake Benmore, on the Waitaki River. The South Island has 8 of New Zealand's 10 biggest lakes. They were formed by glaciers and include Lake Wakatipu, Lake Tekapo and Lake Manapouri. The deepest (462 m) is Lake Hauroko, in western Southland. It is the 16th deepest lake in the world. Millions of years ago, Central Otago had a huge lake – Lake Manuherikia. It was slowly filled in with mud, and fossils of fish and crocodiles have been found there. Volcanoes There are four extinct volcanoes in the South Island, all located on the east coast. Banks Peninsula forms the most prominent of these volcanic features. Geologically, the peninsula comprises the eroded remnants of two large shield volcanoes (Lyttelton formed first, then Akaroa). These formed due to intraplate volcanism between about eleven and eight million years ago (Miocene) on a continental crust. The peninsula formed as offshore islands, with the volcanoes reaching to about 1,500 m above sea level. Two dominant craters formed Lyttelton / Whakaraupō and Akaroa Harbours. The Canterbury Plains formed from the erosion of the Southern Alps (an extensive and high mountain range caused by the meeting of the Indo-Australian and Pacific tectonic plates) and from the alluvial fans created by large braided rivers. These plains reach their widest point where they meet the hilly sub-region of Banks Peninsula. A layer of loess, a rather unstable fine silt deposited by the foehn winds which bluster across the plains, covers the northern and western flanks of the peninsula. The portion of crater rim lying between Lyttelton Harbour / Whakaraupō and Christchurch city forms the Port Hills. The Otago Harbour was formed from the drowned remnants of a giant shield volcano, centred close to what is now the town of Port Chalmers. The remains of this violent origin can be seen in the basalt of the surrounding hills. The last eruptive phase ended some ten million years ago, leaving the prominent peak of Mount Cargill. Timaru was constructed on rolling hills created from the lava flows of the extinct Mount Horrible, which last erupted many thousands of years ago. Te Wāhipounamu World Heritage Site Te Wāhipounamu (Māori for "the place of greenstone") is a World Heritage Site in the south west corner of the South Island. Inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1990 it covers and incorporates the Aoraki / Mount Cook, the Fiordland, the Mount Aspiring and the Westland Tai Poutini National Parks. It is thought to contain some of the best modern representations of the original flora and fauna present in Gondwanaland, one of the reasons for listing as a World Heritage Site. Protected areas Forest parks There are six forest parks in the South Island that are on public land administered by the Department of Conservation. Catlins Forest Park Situated in the Southland region. Craigieburn Forest Park Situated in the Canterbury Region, its boundaries lie in part alongside State Highway 73 and is adjacent to the eastern flanks of the Southern Alps. The Broken River Ski Area and the Craigieburn Valley Ski Area lie within its borders. The New Zealand Forest Service had used the area as an experimental forestry area and there is now an environmental issue with the spread of wilding conifers. Hanmer Forest Park Situated in the Canterbury Region. Lake Sumner Forest Park Situated in the Canterbury Region. Mount Richmond Forest Park Situated in the Marlborough region. Victoria Forest Park Situated in the West Coast region. National parks The South Island has ten national parks established under the National Parks Act 1980 and which are administered by the Department of Conservation. From north to south, the National Parks are: Kahurangi National Park (4,520 km2, established 1996) Situated in the north-west of the South Island, Kahurangi comprises spectacular and remote country and includes the Heaphy Track. It has ancient landforms and unique flora and fauna. It is New Zealand's second largest national park. Abel Tasman National Park (225 km2, established 1942) Has numerous tidal inlets and beaches of golden sand along the shores of Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere. It is New Zealand's smallest national park. Nelson Lakes National Park (1,018 km2, established 1956) A rugged, mountainous area in Nelson Region. It extends southwards from the forested shores of Lake Rotoiti and Rotoroa to the Lewis Pass National Reserve. Paparoa National Park (306 km2, established 1987) On the West Coast of the South Island between Westport and Greymouth. It includes the celebrated Pancake Rocks at Punakaiki. Arthur's Pass National Park (1,144 km2, established 1929) A rugged and mountainous area straddling the main divide of the Southern Alps. Westland Tai Poutini National Park (1,175 km2, established 1960) Extends from the highest peaks of the Southern Alps to a wild remote coastline. Included in the park are glaciers, scenic lakes and dense rainforest, plus remains of old gold mining towns along the coast. Aoraki / Mount Cook National Park (707 km2, established 1953) An alpine park, containing New Zealand's highest mountain, Aoraki / Mount Cook (3,754 m) and its longest glacier, Haupapa / Tasman Glacier (29 km). A focus for mountaineering, ski touring and scenic flights, the park is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Together, the Aoraki / Mount Cook and Westland Tai Poutini National Parks have been declared a World Heritage Site. Mount Aspiring National Park (3,555 km2, established 1964) A complex of impressively glaciated mountain scenery centred on Mount Aspiring / Tititea (3,036 m), New Zealand's highest peak outside of the main divide. Fiordland National Park (12,519 km2, established 1952) The largest national park in New Zealand and one of the largest in the world. The grandeur of its scenery, with its deep fiords, its lakes of glacial origin, its mountains and waterfalls, has earned it international recognition as a world heritage area. Rakiura National Park (1,500 km2, established 2002) On Stewart Island / Rakiura. Other native reserves and parks Hakatere Conservation Park Natural history During the Last Glacial Period when sea levels were over 100 metres lower than present day levels, the North and South Islands were connected by a vast coastal plain which formed at the South Taranaki Bight. Similarly, the South Island and Stewart Island / Rakiura were connected by coastal plains which covered modern-day Foveaux Strait. During this period, most of the South Island was covered in grassland and glaciers, compared to the woodlands and rainforest which grew in the more temperate North Island. Sea levels began to rise 7,000 years ago, eventually separating the islands and linking the Cook Strait to the Tasman Sea. Birds There are several bird species which are endemic to the South Island. They include the kea, great spotted kiwi, Okarito brown kiwi, South Island kōkako, South Island pied oystercatcher, Malherbe's parakeet, king shag, takahē, black-fronted tern, South Island robin, rock wren, wrybill, and yellowhead. Many South Island bird species are now extinct, mainly due to hunting by humans and predation by cats and rats introduced by humans. Extinct species include the South Island goose, South Island giant moa, Haast's eagle and South Island piopio.

Alum Cliffs
The Alum Cliffs are a section of cliffed coast facing the Derwent Estuary and Storm Bay along the suburbs of Taroona, Bonnet Hill, and Kingston Beach, Tasmania, Australia. Comprising of Permian mudstone, the cliff formation stretches for between Hinsby Beach and Tyndall Beach at Kingston Beach. The cliff face reaches heights of up to above sea level and has vistas of the Derwent Estuary, Storm Bay, South Arm and Bruny Island. History The first reference of the Alum Cliffs namesake was documented in 1847. Geology The Alum Cliffs are made of Permian mudstone, containing pyrite. Once oxidised, the pyrite produces the chemical compound alum. Recreation The Alum Cliffs track is a popular (2.5 hour) return walking track frequented by locals and tourists. A small track was initially developed in the 1970s and formally developed as part of Australia's Bicentennial celebrations in 1988. In 2018, a council proposal was put forward to upgrade the track to facilitate mountain biking. Access The Alum Cliffs track is accessible via Tyndall Beach at Kingston Beach and the Channel Highway.

Nawab Mohammad Khan Jogezai
Nawab Mohammad Khan Jogezai was a Pashtun tribal elder and the only representative from Baluchistan Province to the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. In August 1946, Jogezai won election to the Constituent Assembly of India as an independent candidate, defeating Abdul Samad Khan Achakzai, who was allied to Indian National Congress. However, Jogezai had the informal support of Muslim League and would remain commited towards Jinnah's cause, abdicating attendance until the Mountbatten Plan sanctioned the creation of Pakistan and its own constituent assembly. He went on to have an insignificant role in the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan — records do not note him to have given any speech or tabled any proposal. Jogezai remained active in regional politics and ensured that the referendum on the province's accession to Pakistan passed despite opposition from tribal elders and political parties. He was appointed as an advisor to Mian Aminuddin, the Chief-Commissioner of the province in June, 1949 before being replaced in August, 1950. In March, 1952, Jogezai was appointed as a member of the Advisory Committee for the Ministry of States and Frontier Regions. Notelist Reflist

Samuel Fyzee-Rahamin
Samuel Fyzee-Rahamin (19 December, 1880 – 1 January, 1964) was an Indian painter and artist who is known as one of the founders of modern Indian painting. One of the first Indians to study at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, he rejected his western academic training to paint in a distinctly Indian style, inspired by traditional Rajasthani paintings and Mughal miniatures. He married Atiya Begum, a pioneering Muslim intellectual and feminist with whom he also collaborated creatively. Globally acclaimed by the 1920s, his most significant work was the frescoes he did on the Imperial Secretariat in New Delhi towards the end of the 1920s. Following the Partition of India, he emigrated to Pakistan with his wife where he died in poverty in Karachi in 1964. Early life and education Fyzee-Rahamin was born on 19 December, 1880 in Poona, Bombay Presidency in a Bene-Israeli Jewish family as S Rahamin Samuel Talkar. He studied, initially, at the JJ School of Art, Bombay and then, on a scholarship, at the Slade School of Fine Art and the Royal Academy in London where he was one of the first Indians to be admitted. At the Academy, he trained under John Singer Sargent and Solomon J Solomon. Career Baroda On his return from England in 1908 he was appointed the court painter to Baroda State, a position he held until 1918 and during which time he also served as the art advisor to Maharaja Sayajirao Gaekwad III. During this period he made several portraits including those of members of the state’s royal family and others depicting places in Baroda such as the Swaminarayan Mandir, Sursagar and the Kamnath Mahadev Mandir. The royal portraits were displayed at the Bombay Exhibition of 1911. Fyzee-Rahamin’s paintings of this period are now housed in the Baroda Museum and the Maharaja Fateh Singh Museum. Marriage and collaboration with Atiya Begum In 1912 he converted to Islam to marry Atiya Begum, a classical singer and writer. The couple took each other’s surnames and he changed his to Fyzee-Rahamin. They collaborated on several exhibitions and travelled the world in pursuit of their artistic careers. Samuel held his first exhibition at the Galerie Georges Petit in Paris in 1914. In subsequent years, his works were show cased at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924, at the Arthur Tooth & Sons Gallery in London in 1926 under the title “Water-Colors, India, Vedic, Mythological and Contemporary” and at the American Art Association in New York City in 1939 as “Modern Indian Art, on traditional lines”. His assistance was obtained by the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Metropolitan Museum in reorganizing their collections of Asian art. Atiya Begum was a creative collaborator at these exhibitions holding musical programs alongside the shows. Her book, Indian Music, subsequently republished as The Music of India, was co-authored with Samuel who also provided its illustrative paintings. Frescoes at the Imperial Secretariat The Government of India commissioned artists representing the Bombay school of art under W.E. Gladstone Solomon, principal of the JJ School of Art, to decorate the newly built Imperial Secretariat at New Delhi. Samuel was the only artist who did not belong to this group of artists to be commissioned for the work. The project was undertaken between 1926 and 1929 and the frescoes were done using a tempera technique with colours derived from natural stone to ensure their permanence. His work here drew on the tradition of Rajasthani tempera painting and sought to emulate the flatness of the Ajanta murals. His design for the Committee Room B, now called the Fresco Room, features a radiant golden sun at the very top of the dome in the manner of Islamic art and features the takbir. The dome is divided into quadrants, separated by figures of various trees, and feature the themes of Justice, Knowledge, Peace and War which are represented symbolically through female figures holding scales of justice, men holding a globe and the image of a builder guiding his apprentice. A quote from the Persian poet, Saadi, figures below this as do lunettes depicting the seasons. In another room, topped by the smaller dome of the North Block, Samuel chose Hindu mythology with the dome containing images of the gods Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma and Dattatreya around an inscription of Om with the spandrels painted with the ashtanayikas from Sanskrit literature. Writings Fyzee-Rahamin authored the three act plays Invented Gods and Daughter of Ind and a collection of verse called Man and other poems (1944). He also authored two nonfiction books, Beni—Israel in India — A History and Indian Painting and Sculpture (1947). His novel Gilded India, published in 1938, is based on the unhappy marriage of his sister in law, Nazli Rafia Sultana Hassanally who was for many years the Begum of Janjira, having married the Nawab of Janjira, Sidi Sir Ahmad Khan. Notable paintings An early example of Fyzee-Rahamin’s portraiture is the portrait of Rosalind Adler, completed in 1906 and now in the Ben Uri Gallery and Museum in London. Some of notable paintings from the years in Baroda include portraits of Sayaji Rao Gaekwad III and the princes Shivaji Rao and Shrimant Sampat Rao of Baroda and that of Sir Chinubhai Baronet and his family. His portrait of Atiya Fyzee, in the Yale University Art Gallery, is done in watercolour as are paintings of Raagni Todi, Goddess Tune (1913) and A Rajput Sirdar (1914-15) which are in the Tate Gallery, London and Ali Pather, Kashmir (1930) – a painting in blue which depicts a small figure, carrying firewood, walking along a lake in front of huge mountains, in possession of the Manchester Art Gallery. He is also known to have done portraits of Nawab Sir Mahabat Khan III of Junagadh State with his son Prince Dilawar Khan and that of the Nawab of Janjira. His portrait of Mahatma Gandhi was reviewed by Herbert Furst as a "masterpiece of characterization" while his portrait of the musician Veene Sheshanna was loaned to the 1934 exhibition on modern Indian art in London by Queen Mary. In Pakistan The Fyzee-Rahamins moved to Karachi, Pakistan in 1948 at the invitation of Mohammad Ali Jinnah. Their house on Burns Road, Karachi was named Aiwan-i-Rifat after their residence in Bombay. A few years later, they were later evicted from this home and lived in relative poverty in a local hotel with their friends and well wishers helping pay their bills. Samuel died on 1 January, 1964 and he left his collection of paintings to his wife. Atiya regained possession of the Aiwan-e-Rifat after much litigation and entered into an agreement with the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation making it a trustee to the Aiwan-e-Rifat, which she hoped would be turned into a museum to exhibit their work. There exists today a Fyzee Rahamin Art Gallery but proposals to build an auditorium and cultural centre at the site have faced repeated delays. Artistic style and legacy Fyzee-Rahamin’s oeuvre comprised of portraiture, landscapes and murals which were both influenced by and depicted techniques and themes from Indian art. Although trained in the aesthetics and doctrines of Western art he was part of a group of artists, which included such men as Jamini Roy, who rejected such training in search of distinctly Indian influences giving rise to an ‘Indian Modernism’ in painting becoming one of the founders of modern Indian painting. Fyzee-Rahamin’s paintings invoked the artistic style and aesthetics of Rajput paintings and Mughal miniatures and their religious and social allegories which he transposed onto his paintings. Fyzee-Rahamin's art is thought to have reflected an artistic nationalism and stood as an alternative to the Bombay and Bengal schools of art which dominated Indian art in the period prior to Independence. He attained international repute by the end of the 1920s and was commissioned to work on the frescoes of the Imperial Secretariat in Delhi. However, by the 1950s his standing appeared to fall in the West where the Victoria & Albert Museum described him as a 'mediocrity' who 'was never any account as an artist' and that his paintings are 'considered rubbish'. Although the Pakistan Miscellany published by the Government of Pakistan in 1952 devoted an entire chapter to him, the Fyzee-Rahamins faced official apathy and neglect in Pakistan where his paintings are today housed in the Fyzee Rahamin Art Gallery which has suffered from poor upkeep.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast%20Movement
Northeast Movement
The Northeast Movement () was a federalist political party in Italy active in Veneto, Italy. History The party was founded in 1997 and officially launched in January 1998 by the mayor of Venice, Massimo Cacciari, and the former president of the industrialists of Veneto, Mario Carraro. It was also known as the "Catalan party". Mario Rigo, leader of the Lega delle Regioni (which brought together Lega Autonomia Veneta, Lega Autonomia Friuli and Lega Autonomia Trentino) had also joined the new movement. However, both Rigo and his direct collaborators adhering to the Lega delle Regioni were not immediately informed of the stipulation of the Constitution Act of the movement (drawn up at the end of 1997); indeed, the document was made known to Rigo, confidentially, only after several months. Additionally, the Northeast Movement was also joined by numerous young people belonging to the social centers of the north-east Italy. The main purpose of the movement was to press the centre-left on the path of federalist reform of the Italian state and to attract the Venetian voters in opposition to the secessionist policy of the Northern League. The convergence of two characters so different from each other in the party leadership (Cacciari and Carraro) soon turned into a bitter clash between the two, both on the pages of the local press and during organizational assemblies where in the end the counting of votes effectively sanctioned the divorce, assigning the leadership of the movement to Cacciari through his operational arm, the former socialist Rigo. Following a letter from Cacciari in which he accused him of mental constraints, on 31 July 1998 Carraro decided to leave the movement. However, the day after Carraro's farewell to the movement, Cacciari invited him to go back, not understanding the political reasons for that abandonment. On the occasion of the administrative elections of 1998, the movement scored a good result in the provincial election of Treviso (8.8% of the vote), for which it competed with its own candidate, Gianni Maddalon; the movement quickly regressed after Cacciari's disengagement, more interested in coordinating with the other mayors of the Olive Tree, many of whom had joined the new Democrats' party. Rigo's movement then tried to extend beyond the borders of Veneto (taking the name of Lega delle Regioni at national level) and participating unsuccessfully in the 1999 European elections in a list with the Sardinian Action Party and the core of what would later become United Consumers. On 7 February 1999, on the occasion of the first convention in Noale, the social centers of the north-east also declared their withdrawal from the party. Despite its initial purpose, the Northeast Movement was never able, during its short existence, to counter the great strength of the Northern League.

5 Million Money Drop
5 Million Money Drop is a Sri Lankan game show that is currently airing on Sirasa TV in Sri Lanka. It is based on the UK flagship series The Million Pound Drop Live (now The £100K Drop). The show was first aired on 13 August 2022. Game format A team of two people with a pre-existing relationship was presented with LKR 5 million in Rs.100 notes, banded in 50 bundles of Rs.100,000 each.Teams are presented with seven general knowledge multiple-choice questions during the course of the game; the first three questions have four answers, while the next three questions have three answers, and a seventh and final question have two The contestants choose one of two categories at the beginning of each round. Each answer option corresponds to a different trapdoor or "drop"; only one answer is correct. The contestants have a fixed amount of time to distribute all the money among the drops as they see fit; however, they were required to leave at least one drop "clear", meaning that no money may be allocated on at least one answer. Teams are required to place any remaining money bundles onto the drops, as bundles that are not placed on a drop when time runs out are forfeited. The timer may be stopped early by the teams if they are satisfied with their choice of answers. After the timer either runs out or is stopped, the drops for the incorrect answers are opened; any money placed on them falls down a chute and is removed from play by security guards beneath the stage, while any money placed on the correct answer is carried forward to the next question. This process is repeated until at any point where the team ran out of money and loses, or after the final question; if they were correct, they win any remaining money retained for its answer. The time limits and number of answers were as follows: Quick Change The team could use the "Quick Change" once during the entire game on any of the first six questions with an imposed time limit. When a "Quick Change" is used, teams were given an additional 30 seconds to reallocate any money on any other answers. If, at any point, teams did not leave at least an answer without money (i.e. all four answers had allocated money in it) or if they did not risk all of their remaining money when time ran out, it was automatically used; however, if the "Quick Change" is used prior, the team faced immediate disqualification from the game.

Lola T210
The Lola T210, and its evolution, the Lola T212, are Group 6 sports prototype race cars, designed, developed and built by British manufacturer Lola, for the newly created European 2-Litre sports car racing championship, in 1970. History The body and bodywork were made of aluminum, with a double wishbone suspension at the front directly connected to the monocoque. The car's rear had a steel frame to house the engine, gearbox, and suspension. Pushing the car was the 1.8-liter Cosworth FVC which had half the engine block derived from that of the Cosworth DFV and developed 180 kW (245 hp). Lola produced a total of 16 chassis, most of which were sold to private stables. The T210 in 139 races between 1970 and 1975, achieved 29 overall and seven class victories. The T210 made its debut at the Paul Ricard 300km in 1970, the first race of the European sports car championship, led by Jo Bonnier, who finished the race in second place overall three laps behind winner Brian Redman in a Chevron B16. Jo Bonnier also took his first race win for T210, winning Silverstone International in 1970. At the end of the season, Bonnier won the first edition of the European Sports Car Championship with two T210s. A large number of pilots drove the T210. Among these was Ronnie Peterson who drove her to the Interserie in 1970, Mike Hailwood, David Hobbs, Karl von Wendt, Willi Kauhsen, and Emerson Fittipaldi. Claude Swietlik in a T210 won the French sports car championship in 1971, while Alain de Cadenet had a severe accident at the Targa Florio in 1971. The last T210 victory was achieved by the Portuguese Jorge Pego in 1975 in a race in Moçâmedes, Angola. References Sports prototypes T530 Can-Am cars

Rentoy
Rentoy is an old Spanish and Mexican card game for two players or teams that involved signalling. It is mentioned in works by the eminent Spanish author, Cervantes. History It is mentioned by Cervantes (1547–1616) in The Illustrious Kitchen Maid along with Presa y Pinta (possibly Lansquenet) and appears to have been a popular 16th and 17th century Spanish card game. It was still popular enough in the early 19th century to appear in an autobiography by Periquillo Sarniento in 1816. It was the most popular game among Mexican soldiers in pulquieras and barracks. It required "careful and discrete communication by gesture or mutter between the partners, which all expected but ran contrary to the rules." It involved high stakes that could lead to alcohol-fuelled violence. Play In Cervantes' day it was a game for two to eight players, any more than two forming two teams. Players were dealt three cards each. There were points and trumps and players were allowed to signal to one another. References Literature _ (1714).

You Are Mine (album)
You Are Mine is the debut album by the Algerian musician Chaba Fadela. It was released in 1988. "N'sel Fik (You Are Mine)" was sung with Fadela's ex-husband; it had been an international hit. The album is also referred to as pop-raï. Fadela supported You Are Mine with a North American tour. Production Recorded in Algeria, the album was produced by Rachid Baba Ahmed. Fadela recorded her vocals first, with the musical backing added by Ahmed. Ahmed mixed instruments such as the derbouka with synthesizer sounds. The title track first appeared internationally on the Rai Rebels compilation. Critical reception Robert Christgau called "N'Sel Fik" "rai's most incandescent and universal moment, one of the greatest singles of the decade," writing that "Oran superproducer Rachid [is] outdoing rather than compromising himself as he aims for the bigger time"; Christgau also wrote that he considered the title track to be the single of the year for 1988. The New York Times wrote that "Fadela's voice pours out throaty vulnerability, her notes sliding and breaking in straightforward productions." The Washington Post praised "Fadela's roughly sensual voice." The Chicago Tribune wrote that the music "builds from a hypnotic minor-key tradition by adding vibrant African and Western dance rhythms, rich French and Spanish melodies, high-tech instrumentation and scandalous lyrics." The Sydney Morning Herald deemed the album "an Arabic music that uses modern instrumentation and pertinent lyrics to upset its own society." AllMusic noted that "'N'sel Fik', by Fadela and her husband Cheb Sahraoui, is the biggest Algerian hit in the country's history."

George Briggs (), an English convict in Van Diemen's Land, was a sealer in Bass Strait known for siring children on at least one aboriginal woman. Background James Kelly, the circumnavigator of Tasmania, was connected with sealing. He wrote an account of the voyage some time after 1821, in which he says: Life In the course of his narrative, Kelly frequently refers to a sealer of the name of George Briggs, originally from Bedfordshire, England. George Briggs was one of Kelly's shipmen during the circumnavigation. Kelly states that Briggs could speak the language of the North-East Coast tribes fluently. He was an able man, who in 1816 had two native women, one a daughter of the chief Lamanbunganah, and five half-caste children. One of Briggs's native concubines has been identified as Woretemoeteyenner (–1847), also called Watamutina, Pung, and Bung, a daughter of the North-East chieftain Mannarlargenna who arranged for his daughter to cohabit with Briggs. She bore Briggs five known children, including an infant girl (killed near Launceston in 1811; Aborigines threw the baby into a campfire), and Dolly Dalrymple.

Der kleine Trompeter
Der Kleine Trompeter is a German song, originally about a fallen comrade in World War I. It became a political song in the interwar period, especially in East Germany with some ideological changes to the text. In this modified version, it was also performed by west german singer-songwriters, such as Hannes Wader. It was also used in a modified form in Nazi Germany. The original version was created by Victor Gurski and Thomas Hagerdon in 1915. The song describes the death of the bugler Karl Gustav Ulbach, a tram driver from Plauen. He is buried in the Souain-Perthes-lès-Hurlus military cemetery in France. In the modified 1925 version, the protagonist is changed to Friedrich August Weineck, better known as Fritz Weineck, a brush maker born in Halle in 1897. From 1924 he was a member of the Red Front Fighters Association (RFB), a paramilitary combat unit of the Communist Party of Germany. Weineck was a horn player in a marching band of the RFB, and was killed on March 13, 1925 by a police officer. Weineck's death was used by the communist party for propaganda purposes, which led to the creation of the song. In another modified version, the protagonist is instead Horst Wessel, a prominent martyr in Nazi Germany and a member of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the paramilitary combat unit of the Nazi Party.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy%20Bizor
Billy Bizor
Billy Bizor (September 3, 1913 – April 5, 1969) was an American Texas blues harmonicist, singer and songwriter. He was musically associated with his cousin Lightnin' Hopkins, on some of whose 1960s albums Bizor played harmonica and sang backing vocals. Bizor's only solo recordings took place in 1968 and 1969, but these were not released until 1989. Life and career Bizor was born near Middleton, Leon County, Texas, United States, ten months before the outbreak of World War I. Details of his early life are scant, but he performed locally from the 1930s in a semi-professional manner without any tangible success. He languished in total obscurity, and barely changed his playing methodology over the years. His fortunes changed somewhat courtesy of the blues revival in the 1960s, along with starting recording as a backing musician to his cousin, Lightnin' Hopkins. Bizor played harmonica, and sometimes sang backing vocals, on several Hopkin's albums including; Walkin' This Road by Myself (1962), Lightnin' and Co. (1962), Smokes Like Lightning (1963), Talkin' Some Sense (1968), and Free Form Patterns (1968). While his contributions there went largely unheralded, the work did lead to Bizor, between 1968 and 1969, recording his only solo sessions. These took place in Houston under the guidance of record producer Roy C. Ames. In those sessions Bizor was accompanied by Lightnin' Hopkins (guitar, vocals), Donald "Duck" Dunn (rhythm guitar), Clarence Holliman (guitar), Elmore Nixon (piano), plus Linda Waring and Ben Turner (drums). His work went unreleased at the time. Eventually issued as Blowing My Blues Away, the end result went unreleased for 20 years, but the recordings also revealed Bizor, accoring to AllMusic, "to be an intense, emotionally charged singer". He never saw the recordings come to light. Bizor died on April 5, 1969, of the effects of edema at the Ben Taub Hospital in Houston, Texas. He was buried at Gosto Prairie Cemetery in Centerville, Leon County, Texas. He appeared posthumously together with Hopkins in the documentary by filmmaker Les Blank, The Blues According To Lightning Hopkins (1970). Bizor's track "Screwdriver" was covered by South Filthy on their album, Crackin' Up (2005). In 2015, Cicadelic Records released the collection, Wake Up The Dead, a double CD including all of Bizor and Hopkins joint recordings made during 1968 and 1969.

John Elliott (judge)
Sir John Elliott (1546-1617) was an Irish judge of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, who held office as third Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland). He was also occasionally employed on diplomatic business.Though his highly successful career was due largely to his own merit, it probably also owed something to his useful family connections, notably with the Rochfort family and the Usshers. He was born at Balreask (sometimes spelt Balrisk), County Meath, son of Thomas Elliott, Master Gunner for Ireland, and Elizabeth Smart. His sister Margaret was the first wife of Henry Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh. The two men were close friends, and the Archbishop made Elliott co-executor of his will of 1613. Elliott and his second wife Ismay built a Church, now ruined, on the Archbishop's lands at Balsoon in County Meath, and are buried there. John inherited Balreask about 1595. Henry Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh The date of his call to the Bar is uncertain, but he is recorded as a member of Lincoln's Inn in 1587. He was then appointed Clerk of the Crown for four counties in Ulster. He was appointed a Baron of the Exchequer in 1590, and was praised for his hard work and diligence. During the Nine Years War, he was sent to negotiate with the Gaelic leader Hugh O'Neill, 2nd Earl of Tyrone in 1596. Following the establishment of the Irish Courts of Assize in 1603-4, he went regularly as a judge of assize. He was knighted in 1609. In 1607 the King's Inns, after a hiatus of some years, was revived. Elliott became Treasurer of the Inns in the same year. He was the first member of the Inns to have a barrister's chambers in the Inns "the first that began to build a chamber", and as a special privilege three of his sons were allowed to share them. They also had their fees remitted, in recognition of Sir John's services to the Inns. He served as Treasurer until 1610. During the Flight of the Earls he was sent to Ulster in the winter of 1607 with the formal indictment for rebellion against Tyrone and Rory O'Donnell, 1st Earl of Tyrconnell. During the Parliament of 1613-15 he attended regularly before the House of Lords to act as a legal advisor, a role commonly performed by the High Court judges at the time. He died in 1617 and was buried with his second wife Ismay in Balsoon Church, which they had built. Though the church is ruined their memorial is still visible. He married four times and had issue by his second marriage. His first wife was Joan Might, daughter of Thomas Might. His second wife was Ismay Rochfort, daughter of Christopher Rochfort of Kilbryde and his wife Margaret Lynch. They had four sons, Henry, Thomas, Oliver and Christopher,three of whom followed their father into the legal profession. His third wife was the Archbishop's cousin Eleanor Ussher, daughter of Robert Ussher of Santry and Margaret Fitzjohn. She was the widow of Walter Ball, Mayor of Dublin and of Dr. Robert Conway, Master in the Court of Chancery (Ireland).Eleanor died in 1613 and Sir John made a last marriage to Alice Kennedy, daughter of Hugh Kennedy and widow of John Arthur.

Holmium(III) iodide
Holmium(III) iodide is an iodide of holmium, with the chemical formula of HoI3. It is used as a component of metal halide lamps. Preparation Holmium(III) iodide can be obtained by directly reacting holmium and iodine: 2 Ho + 3 I2 → 2 HoI3 Holmium(III) iodide can also be obtained via the direct reaction between holmium and mercury(II) iodide: 2 Ho + 3 HgI2 → 2 HoI3 + 3 Hg The mercury produced in the reaction can be removed by distillation. Holmium(III) iodide hydrate can be converted to the anhydrous form by dehydration with a large excess of ammonium iodide (since the compound is prone to hydrolysis). Properties Holmium(III) iodide is a highly hygroscopic substance that dissolves in water. It forms yellow hexagonal crystals with a crystal structure similar to bismuth(III) iodide. In air, it quickly absorbs moisture and forms hydrates. The corresponding oxide iodide is also readily formed at elevated temperature. References Holmium compounds Iodides Lanthanide halides

Blockfest
Blockfest is the annual hip-hop fest held in Tampere, Finland. Normally held in August, the concert features the most popular acts that hip hop and R&B have to offer in a particular year. In recent years, the event has been organized in the city center of Tampere near Ratina Stadium, right next to the Laukontori square and the Koskikeskus shopping centre. Blockfest is one of the biggest hip-hop festivals in the Nordic countries and is sold out every year already in advance. Over the course of history, Blockfest has been starred by the most popular Finnish hip-hop artists, such as JVG, Fintelligens, Cheek, Asa, Lord Est and Redrama. Also, top international artists are included every year, and the festival has seen e.g. Wu-Tang Clan, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Nas, ASAP Rocky, Wiz Khalifa, Post Malone and G-Eazy. Celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2017, Blockfest became Finland's first cashless festival, where nothing could be paid with cash. Payments were made with a payment wristband, which also served as an entry wristband. Blockfest announced in December 2019 that there will be an 18-year age limit for the 2020 Blockfest. The change to an age-restricted event caused outrage among young people. In the end, the event was not organized that year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021 event was also canceled for the same reason.

Äänekosken maalaiskunta
Äänekosken maalaiskunta (abbreviated as Äänekosken mlk, ) is a former municipality of Finland in the Central Finland region. It was consolidated with the kauppala of Äänekoski in 1969. It bordered Äänekoski, Suolahti, Laukaa, Uurainen, Saarijärvi, Konginkangas and Sumiainen. Geography Villages Honkola Kevätlahti Järvenpää Koivisto or Koivistonkylä Muinosmäki Unofficial villages include Hietama, Hirvaskangas, Mämme and Parantala. Äänekoski and Suolahti were villages within the municipality until 1932. Lakes The Keitele and Pyhäjärvi are partially within the borders of the former municipality. History The toponym Äänekoski was first mentioned in 1455 as Ænækoski laxefiskeri (Swedish for "salmon fishery on the Äänekoski rapids"). According to Terho Itkonen, the name of the rapids is of Sámi origin, having been derived from a word meaning "big, large" (compare Northern Sámi eanas, "most"). Folk etymology connects the name to the word ääni, "sound": as the first Savonian settlers came to the area, they heard the loud sound of the rapids and called it Eänekkoski in their Savonian dialect. Before 1628, the area was a part of the Rautalampi parish, after which it was a part of the Laukaa parish. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the village of Koivisto was a minor local center as many important roads went through it, including a road connecting Vaasa to Kuopio. The oldest post office in Central Finland was located in Koivisto. In the 1820s, Hirvaskangas was the only place in Northern Tavastia (roughly corresponding to Central Finland) where markets were held. The Äänekoski parish was formed in 1907 from parts of the Laukaa parish. The municipality Äänekosken maalaiskunta was formed in 1911 from parts of Laukaa and Saarijärvi. At that time the municipality was known simply as Äänekoski. In 1932, the actual settlement of Äänekoski, along with Suolahti, were split off as their own municipalities. The old municipality of Äänekoski was renamed Äänekosken maalaiskunta, "the rural municipality of Äänekoski", while its administrative center was moved to the village of Honkola. Äänekoski and Äänekosken mlk had a shared parish, while Suolahti got its own parish in 1946. The municipality was consolidated with Äänekoski in 1969. Its villages are still separate from the main built-up area of Äänekoski. Roads The national road 4 goes through the former municipality. The smaller national road 69 starts in Hirvaskangas, goes through Konnevesi and Rautalampi and ends in the village of Levä in Suonenjoki. Sights Venäläiskivi is a memorial for a battle in Koivisto during the Finnish War of 1808-1809. The memorial is a boulder with a metal plaque, and it is protected by the Finnish Heritage Agency. According to oral tradition, dead Russian soldiers are buried under the boulder. In Kapeenkylä near the Kapeenkoski rapids, there is a kettle hole called Ristinhauta that has been used as a sacrificial site by pagans. Once Christianity spread to the area, it became a site of Christian worship used by travelers in the 16th century. Priests from Sysmä held sermons by it.

Miller of Ain't it Cool News wrote a positive review of the film, writing that "It’s extremely effective in amplifying mood and tension, made more so by the lead actors and the director’s patient camera." Michael Gingold of Fangoria wrote a positive review of the film, writing that "The real secret of A Night of Nightmares’ success, though, is its pair of personable, idiosyncratic protagonists. Mark and Ginger are believable both as a potential couple and as they physically struggle with, and try to think their way out of, their horrific situation, and the fact that we want them to get together even before the haunting starts makes us want that much more for them to overcome it."

Lev Karsavin
Lev (Leo) Platonovich Karsavin (; , 13 December 1882 – 17 or 20 July 1952) is a Russian religious philosopher, historian-medievalist, and poet. Early years Lev Platonovich Karsavin was born into the family of Platon Konstantinovich Karsavin, a ballet actor at the Mariinsky Theatre, and his wife Anna Iosifovna, née Khomyakova, the daughter of the cousin of Aleksey Khomyakov, a famous Slavophile. He was the brother of the ballerina Tamara Karsavina. He was a student of Ivan Grevs, graduated from the Faculty of History and Philology of Saint Petersburg State University. From 1909 he taught at the Petrograd Institute of History and Philology (professor since 1912, inspector since 1914) and at the Bestuzhev Courses. He was the Privatdozent of the Saint Petersburg Imperial University ​(from 1912), then professor (from 1916). His Master's thesis is a monograph entitled Essays on religious life in Italy in the 12th and 13th centuries (1912; defended 1913). His doctoral thesis is The foundations of medieval religiosity in the 12th to 13th centuries, mainly in Italy (1915; defended 1916). He was a member of the Petrograd Brotherhood of St. Sophia (1918-1922). He was one of the founding members of the Free Philosophical Association (1919-1924). In 1920, he became one of the founders of the Petropolis publishing house and one of the founders and professors of the Petrograd Theological Institute. In 1921 he was elected professor of the Social-Pedagogical and Legal Departments of the Faculty of Social Sciences at Petrograd University, and chairman of its Social-Pedagogical Department. In August 1922 he was arrested and sentenced to exile abroad without the right to return. He was released shortly before the expulsion. Emigration Lev Karsavin was expelled in November 1922, together with a group of forty-five scientific and cultural figures (Nikolai Berdyaev, Sergei Bulgakov, Semyon Frank, Ivan Ilyin and others) and their family members to Germany (see Philosophers' ships). In Berlin, he was elected deputy chairman of the Bureau of the Russian Academic Union in Germany, and became one of the organizers and a member of the Russian Institute of Science. He was a co-founder (together with Nestor Kotlyarevsky) of the Obelisk publishing house. From 1926 he lived in Clamart near Paris. Karsavin joined the Eurasian movement: he headed the Eurasian Seminar in Paris and was a member of the editorial board of the newspaper Eurasia (1928-1929) and its leading author, he also participated in Eurasian compilations. Lithuania At the end of 1927, Karsavin was invited to take up the chair of general history at the Vytautas Magnus University in Kaunas. He lived in Kaunas from 1928. In 1928-1940 he was professor of general history at the university (from 1929 he taught in Lithuanian). After Lithuania became part of the USSR, he stayed. With the transfer of the university's Faculty of Humanities to Vilnius in 1940, he became a professor at Vilnius University. Since 1941, he simultaneously taught at the Vilnius Academy of Arts. For a short time, he worked at the National Museum of Art. While living in Lithuania, he edited academic publications and published his own books in Russian, On Personality (1929) and A Poem on Death (1931). He also published works in Lithuanian. These included Theory of History (1929), a fundamental five-volume study The History of European Culture (1931-1937), and several dozen articles on medieval philosophy and theology in the lt:Lithuanian Encyclopedia and magazines. In 1944, the Soviet authorities suspended him from teaching at the Vilnius University and fired him from the museum. In 1949, he was fired from the Academy of Arts, too, arrested and accused of participating in the anti-Soviet Eurasian movement and preparing to overthrow the Soviet regime. In March 1950, he was sentenced to ten years of labor camps. He died of tuberculosis in a special camp for the disabled in the settlement of Abez, Komi Republic. Commemoration In 1989, the burial place of Lev Karsavin was found in an abandoned camp cemetery near the village of Abez. This happened thanks to the personal archive of the widow of Anatoly Vaneev, a disciple of Karsavin, which preserved a photograph at the grave marked П-11, as well as the testimony of former prisoners of the Abez camp. In 1990, the leaders of Sąjūdis in Lithuania had the idea of transferring Karsavin's remains to the capital, but Karsavin's daughters Susanna and Marianna spoke out against the idea. In 1990, Abez resident Viktor Lozhkin installed a cross on the grave, and Lithuanian NGOs erected a monument to the repressed in the form of a torn metal sheet on a pedestal with a tear in the shape of a cross. In December 1992, on the occasion of his 110th birthday anniversary, on the house at Krėvos g. 7 in Kaunas, where Karsavin lived in 1935-1940, a memorial plaque was installed. The current Žaliakalnis Progymnasium school in Kaunas carried Karsavin's name from 1994 to 2008 and a school in Vilnius has carried it since 1996. In October 2005, a bilingual marble memorial plaque by sculptor was installed on the facade of the house on Didžioji Street in Vilnius, where Karsavin lived from 1940 to 1949. In February 2006, a memorial plaque was placed on the so-called "professor's house" (Žemuogių g. 6) in Kaunas in memory of the Vytautas Magnus University professors who lived in the building, mentioning Karsavin who lived there in 1928-1929.. The History of European Culture and other his works have been republished in Lithuanian. Selected treatises and poetry were included in a Lithuanian edition compiled by poet and translator . A book of Karsavin's sonnets and tercets was also published in a translation by Bukontas, with a parallel text in Russian. Scientific activities His based on extensive material works of the early period are devoted to the history of medieval religious movements and the spiritual culture of the Middle Ages. Philosophy Karsavin developed a special version of the philosophy of all–unity as applied to the problem of personality, methodology of history, history of culture, gnoseology, ethics, and sociology. He strove to create an integral system of the Christian worldview. He drew on early Christian teachings (Patristics, Origen) and Russian religious philosophy, especially the tradition of Vladimir Solovyov. For Karsavin, the idea of all-unity was understood as a dynamic principle of the formation of being and as a fundamental category of the historical process lying at the heart of historiosophy. One of the main places in his writings is occupied by the concept of human personality. Karsavin believed that the development of human personality is closely linked to the process of its deification. Therefore, one of the issues that interested the philosopher was the question of whether a child is a person. According to Karsavin, a person with a developed personality, who has put it together from the fragmented state that characterizes the modern age, becomes spiritual and approaches God, but has no way of reaching Him. Karsavin's concept of personality is connected with the concept of being. It is understood as a supreme existence in God, whereas real, earthly life is called бывание (presence; attendance), which emphasizes its finitude, its imperfection. Hence, a man, born into this world, is not yet a person in the sense that Karsavin understanded it. They are just a kind of "blanks" or "substrates" that could potentially approach the state of an individual. However, they can become part of the Divine Hypostasis by dedicating their lives to the process of deification, that is, to an existence analogous to the life of Christ. Also, in becoming a person, one should not aspire to do something unique. Personality develops in a person through the process of internalization of common divine values. Here the idea of all-unity is noticeable, as individuals, on the one hand possessing a certain natural individuality, internalize the same higher values, and, in addition, aim their lives toward the universal goal. The philosopher understands the totality of personalities aspiring to God as the "symphonic", or sobor, personality. Here Karsavin deviated from traditional Christian philosophy, because he placed this symphonic personality above the individual, although the latter is a likeness of God.
