75,588,751 | Ernest & Emily Renzel House | The Ernest & Emily Renzel House is a historic residence located in San Jose, California. The house is historically significant for its role as the residence of San Jose mayor Ernie Renzel, and for being one of the first Ranch style homes built in the Naglee Park conservation area. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 23, 2010.
In July 1936, Charles and Mary Derby sold about 0.6667 acres (0.2698 ha) of his subdivision to San Jose mayor Ernest Renzel (1907- 2007). In 1939, Renzel commissioned local architect Chester Root to design and Gibson & Wheeler Co., to build a Ranch style single family home that stands on the property today, known as The Ernest & Emily Renzel House. Renzel is best known for his work to establish the San Jose International Airport.
The house is set on the hillside, located along Arroyo Way, in a small 1930s residential area between Coyote Creek and Naglee Park in San Jose. Renzel lived in the house alongside his wife Emily and their children.
The Ernest & Emily Renzel House consists of a single-story Ranch style residence at the front and a two-story addition towards the rear. The building has a blend of brick and wood siding, incorporating early Ranch style elements, like Modernist steel corner windows, and horizontal dimensions beneath the eaves. Designed by Chester Root, a prominent local architect from the Higgins and Root firm between 1939-40, this residence blends Modern architecture and traditional materials. The property sits within a residential neighborhood, surrounded by mature trees and well-established landscaping.
An addition in 1949, was done by Kress & Gibson. They expanded the house to encompass a two-story layout that is complemented by two large brick chimneys. Spanning 4,700 square feet (440 m), the property encompasses a partial basement, garage, and enclosed patio with landscaping along the Coyote Creek.
The Ernest & Emily Renzel House was nominated by the State Historical Resources Commission in 2010 and recommended for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. The home is historical significant under Criterion B, Politics/Governemnt as the home of San Jose mayor Ernie Renzel, and under Criterion C, Architecture, as an early example of Ranch sytle architecture in the area.
Denzel served as a member of the San Jose City council, mayor, and was best known for his work to create the San Jose International Airport. The airfield is named after him. Chester Root, a Modernist architect, blended traditional ranch-style architecture with early modern period materials to fit the rustic setting of the estate. The period of significance is from 1939 to 1950. The house was locally designated as a landmark prior to being placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 23, 2010. | [

75,588,771 | Kerri Cahoy | Professor Kerri L. Cahoy is an electrical and aerospace engineer and a professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT. She is also the co-founder of laser communications firm SpaceRake. Cahoy is the leader of the Space Telecommunications, Astronomy and Radiation Laboratory (STAR) at MIT, and she is most well known for her research in studying planetary atmospheres and exoplanet atmospheres along with her technology demonstration work on nanosatellites.
Cahoy's parents are Joseph Jay and Barbara Kusza of Wallingford, CT. She attended Choate Rosemary Hall in Wallingford for high school and graduated in 1996. Her father was an electrician, which she cites is one of the things that inspired her to study electrical engineering. She stated in an interview that she chose to go into electrical engineering because she loved the way it challenged her and enjoyed reading and writing. As she now works in the field of aeronautics and astronautics, she has stated how she enjoys studying the applications of electrical engineering in helping to further explore the Earth and beyond.
Cahoy attended Cornell University for her Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering and graduated in 2000. She then attended Stanford University for her Master of Science (2002) and Ph.D. (2008) both in electrical engineering. At Stanford, she served as a graduate research assistant for several courses in the Department of Electrical Engineering. Additionally, it was there that Cahoy continued combining her passions for electrical engineering and aerospace as she studied how we could learn more about weather on planets beyond Earth using instrumentation like satellite radio signals. Her dissertation was entitled Characterization of thermal tides at ionospheric altitudes on Mars with Mars Global Surveyor Radio Occultation measurements of electron density and her principal adviser was emeritus Professor G. Leonard Tyler. From 2006 to 2008, she served as a Senior Communication Sciences Specialist and Senior Engineering Specialist at Space Systems Loral. After finishing her Ph.D., she served as a NASA Postdoctoral Program Fellow in Moffet Field, California where she focused on studying exoplanets through direct imaging of exoplanets and modeling exoplanet atmospheres.
Cahoy started her career at MIT in June 2010 on the research staff in Earth and Planetary Sciences affiliated with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. In July 2011, she became an assistant professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics. At that time, she also became the director of the MIT Space Telecommunications, Astronomy and Radiation Laboratory (STAR). In July 2016, she became an associate professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and in July 2023, she became a full Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics. In November 2023, she was titled the Associate Department Head. She is also a faculty member in the Space Systems Laboratory at MIT and a co-director of the Small Satellite Collaborative at MIT.
Research and STAR Laboratory
Cahoy's research has investigated heavily in technology demonstrations with nanosatellites, or CubeSat platforms. She directs the STAR lab at MIT which is focused on four key areas: weather sensing, connectivity, exoplanet detection and characterization, and nanosatellite technology. Her work aims to get groups, or "constellations" of the small satellites to work together to gather data to inform research on the applications mentioned.
One of these CubeSat platforms called DeMi was launched from Wallops Island, Virginia in February 2020. On this CubeSat is a deformable mirror that can help in detecting exoplanets and picturing distant stars. Cahoy and her students will continue to study the data from DeMi in the coming years.
One element of her research is to develop and enhance laser communication terminals and ground stations so that the groups of satellites can have crosslink communications. This enables the satellites to have joint observations. Cahoy currently serves as the Principal Investigator for multiple NASA missions related to laser communication including "Miniature Optical Steered Antenna for Intersatellite Communication" (MOSAIC) and "CubeSat Laser Infrared CrosslinK" (CLICK).
Cahoy's research is also influential in the field of exoplanet detection and characterization especially in the realm of imaging and detecting exoplanets. Her lab has contributed to missions including NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and Laser Guide Star for Large Aperture Segmented Space Telescopes (LGS).
Her research also contributes to the field of weather sensing in which she studies how CubeSats (or small satellites) with instrumentation for weather sensing "can passively make precise measurements of atmospheric temperature at different altitudes". Her team has flown 3 CubeSats so far, and the success has proven that these smaller scale satellites can oftentimes provide comparable data to that of larger instruments or spacecrafts. In October 2019, Cahoy gave a TED Talk called "How Tiny Satellites Can Help Us Weather Through Hurricanes". She discussed how large satellites that collect data for weather forecasting can leave large gaps of data in areas that happen to be most affected by hurricanes. To fix this problem, there needs to be more satellites which are not only costly but can take a while to build. Not only can the smaller CubeSats help fill in the gap of this data, but also they are less costly.
Notable Publication
Cahoy's most cited work is Thermal emission and reflected light spectra of super Earths with flat transmission spectra published in 2015 in The Astrophysics Journal. The work studies "Super Earths" and models to predict "their transmission, thermal emission and reflected light spectra." The work currently has over 230 citations.
SpaceRake
Cahoy is also a co-founder of SpaceRake, which specializes in laser communication technologies. The company is currently working on three main endeavors: (1) Cubesat-Compatible Terminal, Human-Portable Lasercom Ground Terminal, and Multi-Access Router Architecture. In November 2023, SpaceRake was awarded their first government contract. It awarded them $1.8 million for the purposes of developing "miniature laser communications terminals."
Aside from her influential research in the field of aerospace engineering, Cahoy has been widely recognized for her incredible compassion and understanding when mentoring her graduate students. As a 2020 recipient of the Committed to Caring Award at MIT, one of Cahoy's nominators wrote about how she “launches more space missions than any other AeroAstro professor, yet remembers the needs of all her graduate students.” | [

75,588,807 | Museum of Alaska Transportation & Industry | The Museum of Alaska Transportation & Industry is a transportation museum located near Wasilla Airport in Wasilla, Alaska.
As part of the 1967 Alaska Centennial celebrations, an effort was begun to collect the history of Alaskan aviation. In June of that year, the Centennial Aviation Progress Museum Committee first met under the chairmanship of Jack Peck. However, within a year the project was taken over by the state, which expanded the scope to all transportation in Alaska. It was developed into the Centennial Train – six former World War II troop cars with exhibits that toured the state. Afterwards, it was placed on display next to the museum.
On 5 September 1973, the museum was destroyed by a fire. 85 to 90 percent of the collection, including at least seven airplanes and many other vehicles, were lost. The museum was already suffering from financial problems before the fire and requested funding from the state to help it recover.
It moved to an 8,000 sq ft (740 m) building the Alaska Stair Fairgrounds in Palmer in 1976 where it became the Alaska Historical and Transportation Museum. The funding from the state; $80,000; came through the following year.
However, in 1985, the Alaska State Fair announced it would not renew the museum's lease when it ended in 1987. As a result, the museum changed its name to the Museum of Alaska Transportation & Industry and began searching for a new location. In October 1990, it began moving to 10 acres (0.040 km) it purchased on Jacobsen Lake near Wasilla.
Exhibits at the museum include radio communication vacuum tubes, automobile fuel and the Whitney Section House. There are also collections of vehicles including snowmobiles, and agricultural machinery. | [

Zack Quaintance of Comics Bookcase gave the same issue a 9.8/10, writing that it was "basically flawless, from writer Matt Kindt’s pithy and genuine scripting, to artist Matt Smith and Chris O’Halloran’s bright visuals and taut panel layouts."
Hannibal Tabu of Bleeding Cool criticized the finale's writing, saying that the ending "borrows too much from Frank L. Baum", but praised the artwork.

75,588,857 | Leucostele bolligeriana | Leucostele bolligeriana is a species of cactus found in Chile.
Leucostele bolligeriana is characterized by its trunkless structure and upright or hanging growth, reaching heights between 2 and 6 meters. The branches, with a diameter of 18 cm, have 17-20 ribs, each measuring 0.6–2 cm in width and 3 mm in height. The stem is covered with ovate areoles in yellow, gray, and black, measuring 2 mm in height and 6–8 mm in width. These areoles host spines in shades of light green, grey, and brown, comprising 1–6 central spines (0.3 to 6 cm long) and 15-16 radial spines (0.5 to 2 cm in length).
Leucostele bolligeriana produces 1 to 3 flowers that are greenish yellow or yellowish white, featuring longitudinal lines and growing subapically. These flowers, measuring 14 cm in length, have a prominent ovary and floral tube covered with abundant brown hairs. The fruit is 2–3 cm long and 3–4 cm in diameter, covered with triangular scales and brown and grey hairs. The pulp of the fruit is white, and the seeds measure 1.8 mm in length and 1.0 mm in width.
This plant is native to the hills of the Coastal Cordillera in Cardenal Caro, growing in proximity to the sea and on steep slopes.
Initially collected in Punta de Lobos in 2003 by Helmut Walter and classified as Echinopsis bolligeriana, the species was named in honor of Dr. Thomas Bollenger, a cactus curator in Zurich. In 2012, Albesiano identified Trichocereus chiloensis var. conjungens as a synonym, based on similarities in rib and spine morphology. In 2012, Boris O. Schlumpberger reclassified the species into the genus Leucostele.

75,588,971 | Elkhi Stadium | Elkhi Stadium, also known as Handke Stadium and locally nicknamed "the Pit", is an outdoor sports venue in Elk River, Minnesota, United States. It was begun with community labor in 1922 and improved by the National Youth Administration in 1940. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004 for its significance in the themes of entertainment/recreation and politics/government. It was nominated for charting local efforts to enhance a community resource by mobilizing available labor, institutions, building materials, and ultimately federal New Deal funding, benefiting the community with youth employment and an enduring civic asset.
Elkhi Stadium consists of a regulation-size athletic field in a natural depression, surrounded by a fieldstone retaining wall varying from one to five feet high. Additional short tiers on the north and west sides created stadium bench seating, though some have since been covered over with earth fill to create a smooth slope. The north side also has a small fieldstone building with a 22-by-16-foot (6.7 by 4.9 m) footprint. Used as a warming hut during winter activities, the interior contains a 16-foot long (4.9 m) hearth with benches along the other three sides.
The site of Elkhi Stadium was originally a large seasonal pond with steep wooded banks. Elk River's first high school was established next to it in 1898. For over two decades the basin was mainly used for ice skating and sledding. In 1921 a group of about a dozen boys, lamenting that the school had no athletic field, got permission from the newly elected district superintendent to fill in the pond for a football field. Though the district could not provide any money or material, the effort quickly snowballed. On weekends over the next two years, students from area farms lent wagons, horses, and shovels to bring in fill. Adults began pitching in as well. The new field was officially dedicated in May 1925. The name "Elkhi" was selected by the student body in a vote.
More formal organization attended a second effort in 1929. Under the direction of a new district superintendent, and with logistical support from the Elk River Commercial Club, donations and volunteer labor were raised to haul in 2,000 yards of additional fill to enlarge the football field to regulation size. The work largely took place over two days in August.
Two months later the nation plunged into the Great Depression. Beginning in 1933, federal job creation programs established by the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration provided funds for local infrastructure projects. In 1939 Elk River submitted a successful application to the National Youth Administration (NYA) to improve Elkhi Field once more. This secured funding for 40 unemployed high school graduates, while the school district contributed $1,200 to pay for a foreman (a local engineer named Gene Chase) and materials (largely fieldstone, an abundant nuisance in area cropland). Under Chase, the crew reshaped the sides and built paths, steps, and retaining walls over several months. They also built tennis courts, removed old debris, and planted trees around the site. Since the stadium was still used as an ice rink in winter, a local civic group contributed extra funds to build the warming house. The improved Elkhi Stadium was dedicated on September 5, 1940.
For decades the stadium hosted football and hockey games, physical education, band concerts, and an annual homecoming bonfire. By the end of the 20th century, years of deferred maintenance had left the stone walls crumbling, the steps and warming house unsafe, and the hillsides choked with undergrowth. A suggestion to fill the site with dirt and redevelop it was defeated by community outcry. Local generosity again benefited the site. From 2000 to 2006, Elk River's Rotary Club repaired and improved the stadium, raising money through fundraisers, donations, and grants. The walls, steps, and warming house were repaired with donated stone. A gas fireplace, safety railing, and period lighting were installed. A new plaza at the southeast entrance sports the Rotary Club seal and Handke School's original school bell. Elkhi Stadium continues to serve as a popular outdoor skating rink. | [

75,589,015 | James Alison (architect) | James Alison (1862–1932) was a Scottish architect, principally practising in Roxburghshire with offices in Hawick.
James Pearson Alison was born in Dalkeith, Midlothian on 22 June 1862, son of the Thomas Alison, draper and his wife, Margaret Pearson. His father lived at Rosehill in Eskbank, a neighbourhood of Dalkeith, in which town he had a draper's store along with another similar store in nearby Musselburgh. His father held a number of positions at various times in Dalkeith, including member of the Board of Trustees, which governed the town until the adoption of the General Police Act in 1878 and, later, Chief Magistrate (under that Act) of Dalkeith and then Provost of Dalkeith 1881–1884. He was also Returning Officer, Town Clerk and Justice of the Peace.
His elder brother, Thomas Alison was a painter, principally known for Landscape painting, who also produced portraits and other works. Another brother, John Pearson Alison, was a farmer at D'Arcy, Midlothian.
He went to school in Dalkeith and then continued his education in Edinburgh. He attended the Edinburgh Institution from 1876 to 1878. Like his brother, he studied at the The Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture, but also at University of Edinburgh (in Architecture) and Heriot-Watt College (for Sanitation) as an architectural student. While a student at Edinburgh he started work for the architect Robert Thornton Shiells as an articled draughtsman, although he continued to live at the family home in nearby Dalkeith.
Before leaving Dalkeith, where he had influential connections, he was commissioned to design the new Burgh Chambers in 1882. This was his first commission. The first meeting of the Burgh Commissioners in the new municipal buildings was held on 9 October 1882, with his father, Chief Executive and provost of Dalkeith 1881–1884, presiding.
He moved to Paisley, Renfrewshire in 1886 to work for the architect Charles Davidson. Then in 1888 he moved to Hawick, where he opened his own practice. He gained a good reputation with local manufacturers and landowners after some early commissions and more work swiftly followed. In 1892 he married Mary Blair of Paisley, where he had previously lived.
In Hawick he was very prolific and designed with high quality and great versatility. He designed in various styles, including Palladian, Gothic, Mock Tudor, Art Nouveau and Dutch styles. He often had Dutch style gables. Overall, he added significantly to the appearance of the Hawick of his time. One of Alison's early successes (1894) is the former Central Hotel (1 North Bridge St). It terminates the eastward view along the High Street. An elegant balustrade above the big bay incorporated letters spelling “The Central Hotel”. The hotel closed in 1919 and the lettering was changed to ”Prudential”, who had offices there until the mid-1950s. Opposite the Central Hotel in the High Street, the Liberal Club was completed by him in the same year. He also designed the nearby Conservative Club (1895).
Up to the First World War his practice flourished, but work was depressed during the war.
After the war, he was commissioned to design several War Memorials. The war memorial of Denholm (hear Hawick) was unveiled on 21 November 1920. He also designed the Dalkeith war memorial, unveiled 28 June 1921, where his brother Thomas had been Provost until the year before.
From the early 1920s he went into partnership with George Hobkirk under the name “J P Alison & Hobkirk” and the firm continued in Hawick after his death until 1959, firstly under George Hobkirk and latterly under Joseph Aitken. The successor firm remained in Hawick until after 1985 and eventually moved to Galashiels.
He became a Fellow of Royal Institute of British Architects on 2 December 1907. He was a member of the Hawick Archaeological Society and the Hawick Gallants Club. As a keen antiquarian, he was Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland.
He died in Hawick on 19 November 1932. | [

75,589,029 | Rattlesnake (King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard song) | "Rattlesnake" is a song by Australian rock band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard released in 2016 as the lead single from their ninth studio album, Flying Microtonal Banana. The song is notably the band's first full foray into microtonal music, which was previously only briefly utilized on "Robot Stop" from Nonagon Infinity. Microtonality would be explored in full on the rest of Flying Microtonal Banana and subsequent albums such as K.G. and L.W.
Although often considered an iconic song in the band's discography, and winning accolades like Song of the Year at the Music Victoria Awards of 2017, the song's repetition and length have made it polarizing.
"Rattlesnake" is a psychedelic rock song with significant krautrock influence, described by Exclaim! as "chugging along for eight minutes of mostly the same chord and motorik drum beat."
In Pitchfork's review of Flying Microtonal Banana, the song is described as "powering through a fog of stormy synths, staccato guitar pricks, and the brain-scrambling squawks of a Turkish horn-type instrument known as a zurna."
"Rattlesnake" has been considered a highlight of Flying Microtonal Banana as well as a highlight of the band's discography as a whole, having won Song of the Year at the Music Victoria Awards of 2017 as well as being considered one of the band's best songs by publications like Guitar World and Exclaim!
However, the song has been criticized for its length and repetition. In a mixed review of Flying Microtonal Banana in The Heights, "Rattlesnake" is said "to be going for a more artistic expression, but eight minutes of “artistry” is not much fun to listen to."

75,589,037 | Asifa Lahore | Asifa Lahore is a British Muslim trans woman who has been described as Britain's first out Muslim drag queen.
Asifa first got into drag in 2011, when she was 27 years old. Lahore's says she was first inspired to enter drag by her mother's elaborate saris and Asifa's performances often incorporate parts of her Muslim culture, which includes wearing rainbow-coloured hijabs and "a signature stripping act that features a burqa".
In 2014, Asifa was to discuss her experience as a gay Muslim on BBC Three's Free Speech programme; this segment was not aired as the program did not discuss the segment with the mosque in which the show was being filmed.
In 2015, she featured in Muslim Drag Queens, a Channel 4 documentary film, narrated by Ian McKellen. The programme was watched by over 1 million people in the UK.
In 2016, she featured on BBC Asian Network where she performed "Punjabi Girl", a parody of Barbie Girl.
In 2023, Darius Shu and Shiva Raichandani filmed Always Asifa, a TV documentary featuring Asifa commissioned by Together TV.
Asifa is from a Pakistani Muslim family, and has spoken about the difficulty in coming out to her parents when she was 23 years old. Her parents first sent her to the doctor and then to their local imam. Asifa was coerced into an arranged relationship with a first cousin in Pakistan in an attempt to change Asifa's sexual orientation, but soon ended the relationship. Despite this, Asifa is a practising Muslim, saying: "I go to the mosque. I fast at Ramadan. I've been on pilgrimage". She has said that her mother now watches and enjoys her drag shows.
In 2017, Asifa commented on a then-recent wedding which was claimed to be the first same-sex Muslim marriage in Britain, saying: "I'm glad this young boy has declared so openly about his marriage, but [I] want him to know there have been others before him, and will be many more".
In 2021, Asifa spoke about being visually impaired.
As of May 2017, Asifa came out as a trans woman. | [

75,589,073 | Coral Island (video game) | Coral Island is a 2023 farm life sim developed by Stairway Games and published by Humble Games. It plays similarly to Stardew Valley and is set on a tropical island.
Players control a character who has become disenchanted with city life. After moving to a small farming community on a topical island, they are given an overrun farm to work. Besides fixing up the farm and planting crops, players can explore a nearby mine, where they can find rare resources guarded by monsters; talk to and romance the non-player characters; donate rare items to a local museum; and clean up a toxic oil spill, which is functionally similar to exploring the mine. Players can also recycle trash to gain resources.
The developer, Stairway Games, is in Indonesia, which inspired the setting. Its 3D art style is influenced by Disney animation. Coral Island had one of the most successful video game crowd-funding campaigns of 2021. After it entered early access in October 2022, Humble Games released Coral Island for Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S on November 14, 2023. Shortly after its release, an imposter account on social media targeted fans with NFT scams. Coral Island does not feature any NFT content.
Coral Island is often compared to Stardew Valley and has been called one of the best Stardew Valley clones by multiple gaming publications.
Rock Paper Shotgun said the early access release was a little buggy in October 2022 but was overall mature. They recommended it to players looking for a game simiar to Stardew that has quicker rewards and less grinding. GamesRadar said that although the gameplay was similar to other farm sims, especially Stardew Valley, Coral Island implemented it well and added their own unique twists. Reviewing the game in May 2023, TechRadar said they were "thoroughly excited" by its roadmap and said Coral Island proved to them that there was room for more farm sims.
On release, Coral Island received positive reviews on Metacritic. Siliconera said that, although not innovative, it builds upon its influences and add quality of life improvements. Although they called it essential for farm sim fans, they suggested that people hold off for bug fixes on the PlayStation 5 version. TouchArcade said it "feels unfinished in parts" and may have left early access too soon. However, they said it has "a fantastic base to build on" and is a "joy to play" on the Steam Deck despite some technical issues. GameSpot included it in a list of hidden gems released in 2023 and called it "a breath of fresh air" for the genre for its tropical setting, large and diverse cast, large map, and compelling story. At the 2023 Steam Awards, Coral Island was nominated for the Sit Back And Relax award. | [

75,589,096 | We–The Voice from the People | The We–The Voice from the People (Serbian: Ми—Глас из народа, Mi—Glas iz naroda, abbrev. MI–GIN) is a populist political organisation in Serbia. The main representative of MI–GIN is Branimir Nestorović, a prominent pulmonologist and conspiracy theorist. MI–GIN gained national representation in the National Assembly of Serbia and City Assembly of Belgrade following the 2023 Serbian parliamentary election and 2023 Belgrade City Assembly election.
In the 2022 Serbian parliamentary election, Branimir Nestorović supported the Dveri–POKS list, which helped this list in attracting votes. After the election, Nestorović said that he was dissatisfied with the Dveri list, and that Serbia "deserves a national, non-partisan, honest and decent option. With people who will not trade mandates and votes after the election".
Nestorović announced the creation of the movement on 23 June 2023.
The movement announced that it would participate in the 2023 Serbian parliamentary election on 27 October 2023. Prior to that, it was mainly centered around a YouTube channel. On 26 November 2023, the movement submitted 10 thousand signatures to the Republican Electoral Commission of Serbia, and on 27 November it was registered for the 2023 Serbian parliamentary election. Nestorović has said that the campaign had been done only with the help of social media, and that "appropriate space" for a campaign was not given to the movement. Reportedly, 12 000 euros were spent on the campaign.
Following the elections in Belgrade, Nestorović rejected the possibility of joining any coalition, either that of the SNS or SPN.
During the 2023 campaign, Nestorović drew attention to Serbia's weak healthcare system and called for its improvement. | [

75,589,102 | Jefferson Lewis | Howard Jefferson Lewis (born 1951) is a Canadian screenwriter and film producer from Montreal, Quebec. He is most noted as the writer of the film Ordinary Magic, for which he was a Genie Award nominee for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 15th Genie Awards in 1994.
Born and raised in Montreal, he is the grandson of Wilder Penfield. After graduating from Queen's University with a degree in film studies, he worked as a journalist for the Ottawa Citizen, CBC Radio and Southam News before publishing Something Hidden, a biography of his grandfather, in 1981.
His book was also adapted into a National Film Board of Canada documentary by filmmaker Bob Lower, which drew Lewis more directly into filmmaking. He wrote a number of documentary shorts for the NFB in the 1980s, and was a writer for the short-lived television soap opera Mount Royal, before making his feature film debut with the screenplay for The Paper Wedding (Les noces de papier) in 1989.
His second screenplay, Ordinary Magic, was directed by Giles Walker and released in 1993. The following year, Michel Brault released My Friend Max (Mon amie Max), from a script cowritten by Lewis and Guy Fournier. For that film, he won the award for Best Screenplay at the 1994 Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois.
In 2002 he wrote Paule Baillargeon's NFB documentary Claude Jutra: An Unfinished Story (Claude Jutra, portrait sur film), for which he won both the Gemini Award for Best Writing in a Documentary Program or Series at the 18th Gemini Awards, and the Writers Guild of Canada award for best writing in a documentary.
His later screenplays included the feature films Emotional Arithmetic and French Immersion, and the documentary film Outbreak: Anatomy of a Plague.
He was married in the 1970s to Catherine Keachie, a marketer in the publishing industry. After that marriage ended in the mid-1980s, he remarried to actress Andrée Pelletier. | [

75,589,165 | Milam Park | Milam Park, formerly Milam Square, is an urban park located in downtown San Antonio, Texas, United States. Originally used as a burial ground, the park was extablished in 1884. It is named after Benjamin Milam, whose remains are interred under a monument on the west end of the park.
The modern history of the site dates back to 1848, when it was designated for use as a city cemetery. It adjoined a Catholic cemetery called El Campo Santo, over which the Santa Rosa Hospital now sits. However, the population quickly outgrew the burial ground. In the 1860s, the cemetery closed and the city planned to convert it into a public park. Most families moved their loved ones' burials elsewhere. Although no remains (besides Benjamin Milam's) are known to have been uncovered inside the park since its opening, evidence of burials have been recovered from excavations and streetworks in the immediate vicinity. In 1883, the city officially established Milam Square, dedicating it on January 7, 1884. By 1885, sidewalks had been paved over, greenery planted, and the park was fully opened to the public. A bandstand was erected about 1903 but was torn down in 1908 for unknown reasons. In 1936, a memorial statue to Ben Milam was placed over his gravesite in the center of the park.
Milam Park underwent a large redevelopment in the 1970s, undertaken in tandem with rejuvenation of the Market Square to the south of the park. $374,210 in funding was awarded by the San Antonio Development Agency for the project in 1975. Landschape architect Jim Keeter was hired to design the park, while Bill Shannon, Inc. was contracted to carry out the works. The Friends of Milam Park was established as a branch of the San Antonio Parks Foundation by Drs. Carlos Orozco and Hugo Castaneda to oversee and fundraise for the works. Under this organization, several new amenities were added.
These works coincided with two heated controversies over the works. The first major issue was raised by locals over the site originally being a religious burial ground, the possibility that works could disturb any remaining graves, and its continued use as a park. The Texas Hispanic-American History Foundation asked that the area be commemorated as a Catholic cemetery and the statue of Ben Milam be removed. The San Antonio Development Agency, in charge of the renovations, declined these requests. The second issue was with 8-foot-tall (2.4 m) spine walls that had been erected in the park during construction. Locals complained the walls were both a public safety hazard and visually displeasing.
The two main features of Milam Park are the Jalisco Pavilion, a gazebo at the center of the park; and the Ben Milam Statue, a monument to Texas Revolutionary Benjamin Milam. The park also features walking and jogging trails, exercise equipment, a playground, and games tables. Just north of the Jalisco Pavilion is a 2009 monument to Emma Tenayuca, who frequented the park as a child. In the northwest corner near the Ben Milam Statue is another historical marker honoring Henry Karnes, another Texas Revolutionary.
The Jalisco Pavilion sits at the park's center. It was designed by Jalisco architect Salvador de Alba Martin as park of the park's renovations in the 1990s. It is 26 feet (7.9 m) wide with a cantera base and a copper domed roof, supported by cast iron railings and columns. The gazebo is sometimes used for weddings.
Benjamin Rush Milam was a Texas Revolutionary who was killed during the Siege of Béxar in 1835. After the establishment of the burial ground, his remains—as well as those of other Texas Revolutionaries—were moved there on December 7, 1848, but were unmarked. A movement led by Valentine Overton King in 1873 uncovered the location of the gravesite and had a marker placed there. In 1883, after the cemetery had closed, the city council briefly considered reinterring Milam elsewhere but ultimately decided his remains would stay in the newly established Milam Park.
In the 1930s, the centennial of Texan independence was being celebrated statewide, and with it several monuments to Texan history and its figures were erected. This surge of interest was largely driven by historical and heritage organizations, such as the De Zavala chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas. De Zavala had been trying since the 1890s to have a larger monument installed on Milam's gravesite but had previously been unsuccessful in raising the proper funding. Finally, in 1936, the U.S. Texas Centennial Commission agreed to allocate the funds. Sculptor Bonnie MacLeary, whose grandfather was Valentine Overton King, was hired to create the 13-foot-tall (4.0 m) bronze cast statue of Milam, to be placed over Milam's gravesite on the west side of the park. Architect Donald S. Nelson was consulted for the design of the granite base. The sculpture was unveiled in a public ceremony on September 8, 1938.
During works in 1976, amongst the chaos of the construction works, the Ben Milam Statue was moved to a corner of the park, removing any surface marking indicating the exact location of Milam's burial. In 1993, Milam's remains were rediscovered near the center of the park, underneath where the gazebo now sits. The remains were exhumed and sent to the University of Texas at San Antonio for archaeological study. They were subsequently reinterred the following year at the base of the Ben Milam Statue, underneath a raised horizontal granite slab.
Several sidewalks converge at a small plaza, with the monument itself in the center. The statue of Milam, posed with a flintlock rifle raised above his head, sits atop an octagonal granite pillar on a square base, facing east towards downtown and the Alamo. The monument was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 16, 2020. | [

Cordelia Adams was born on February 27, 1865, to Emily and John Adams in Willow Creek, a town near Lampasas, Texas. She was the youngest of five children, a sister named Saphrona, and brothers James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, and Jefferson Davis. John Quincy Adams had been a Confederate soldier and lost his land in Texas due to the war. In 1867, the Adams family joined a wagon train going to California, and peeled off to investigate the new Phoenix settlement. Shortly after arriving in Phoenix, another Crawford child was born.
In 1869, the Adams family continued to California, where they stayed until 1877. John established a cattle ranch. Cordelia went on to marry her father's assistant, Bushrod Foley Crawford on August 8, 1880. Al Sieber served as a witness to their wedding and remained a family friend.
The Crawfords lived at a small ranch. Bush sold cattle in San Diego, so Cordelia regularly managed the ranch. Due to the rural setting, Cordelia delivered her own children Cordelia was skilled in healing, and served her community. She was friendly with the Apache women who would pass through the community, and treat them and their children. This friendship may have saved her ranch during the Battle of Cibecue Creek.
The Crawfords had three children, Nona (August 4, 1881), Oran Sieber (March 14, 1884), and Emily (November 14, 1886).
The Crawfords remained neutral in the Pleasant Valley War. They moved to Tonto Creek. Cordelia managed the Tonto stage stop, where partisans from both sides stopped for food and lodging. Cordelia developed a way to serve the partisans without seeing them, speaking to them through a door. This strategy allowed her to say she had not seen the men in the party. The Crawfords returned to their ranch following the war.
In 1893, the Crawfords moved to Globe, Arizona. There, Bush Crawford killed a saloonkeeper with whom he had a dispute. He was sent to prison for two years, but was pardoned by Oakes Murphy after a year.
Bush died in 1935. Cordelia lived another seven years, dying on February 2, 1943.
Crawford was among the first women inducted into the Arizona Women's Hall of Fame in 1981. | [

75,589,224 | Black/Red | Black/Red is the upcoming twelfth studio album by Welsh rock band Feeder, scheduled for release on April 5, 2024 via Big Teeth Music, Townsend Music and Absolute Label Services. It is the successor to 2022's Torpedo, completing a trilogy of albums that began with Tallulah (2019).
Lead singer, songwriter and guitarist Grant Nicholas has said that the decision to release the record as a double album was made with the listener in mind, describing it as "almost like a musical production with an interval." He also described writing the album as a "musical pilgrimage" and a "labour of love", which resulted in a record of "undeniable Feeder".
Nicholas stated that '"The Knock" is a "song about a highway or road of life and the journey in which it can take us on and the challenges we face along the way". In addition, he said that he had "a very clear visual image for ["Soldiers of Love"], almost like a film soundtrack. It's the first time we've recorded bagpipes on a Feeder track as we felt they would add to the slight Celtic feel of the song. It was originally going to stay more of an acoustic style track but I felt the song could be more cinematic and grander sonically."
The album will be supported by a nationwide tour of the United Kingdom through March of 2024. It is set to begin on 2 March at the Junction in Cambridge, and will end on March 28 at the Roundhouse in London.

75,589,381 | Kilrush Town Hall | Kilrush Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile Cill Rois) is a municipal building in the Market Square, Kilrush, County Clare, Ireland. The building is currently used as by Clare County Council as offices for the delivery of local services.
The building commissioned as a market house for the town by the member of parliament and wealthy land owner, John Ormsby Vandeleur, whose seat was at Kilrush House. The new building was designed in the neoclassical style, built in brick with a cement render finish and limestone dressings, and was completed in 1808. The original design involved a symmetrical main frontage of four bays facing south onto the Market Square with the central section of two bays slightly projected forward. The ground floor was arcaded, so that markets could be held, with an assembly hall on the first floor. There were four arches on the ground floor, supported by pilasters and imposts and formed by voussoirs with keystones. The first floor was fenestrated by sash windows. The central section was surmounted by a pediment with a roundel in the tympanum. There was a central belfry with an ogee-shaped dome.
In 1903, a monument was erected to the southwest of the building to commemorate the lives of the Manchester Martyrs. These were three Irish nationalists – William Philip Allen, Michael Larkin, and Michael O'Brien – who were hanged in 1867 following their conviction for murder after an armed attack on a police van in Manchester, in which a police officer was shot dead. The monument, designed and sculpted by Joseph K. Bracken in the Romanesque style, took the form of a figure of a woman, known as the "Maid of Erin", standing on a two-tier arcaded pedestal.
After Kilrush Urban District Council acquired the building from Captain Alexander Moore Vandeleur in 1910, it became the offices and meeting place of the council. A Ladies Recruiting Committee was formed in the assembly room during the First World War to encourage local young men to enlist in the Irish Regiments of the British Army.
The building was burnt down by the Black and Tans in 1921 during the Irish War of Independence. It was later rebuilt to a slightly different design: the central section was slightly recessed, rather than slightly projected forward, and the central section was fenestrated by three windows, rather than two windows, on the first floor. The reconstruction was undertaken at a cost of £1,733 and completed in 1931. As part of the celebrations to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Easter Rising, a balustraded balcony together with a commemorative plaque, were added to the central section of the building in 1966.
The building continued to be used as the offices of the urban district council until 2002, and then as the offices of the successor town council, but ceased to be the local seat of government in 2014, when the council was dissolved and administration of the town was amalgamated with Clare County Council in accordance with the Local Government Reform Act 2014. Following the completion of an extensive programme of refurbishment works, involving the installation of internet hubs, the building was re-opened by the Minister of State at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Pat Breen, on 26 March 2018. | [

75,589,493 | Ri-Karlo Handy | Ri-Karlo Handy is an American media executive and the CEO of Sunwise Media. He is also the founder and chairman of the Handy Foundation.
Handy was born and raised in Oakland, California. He took a television production class at the age of 14, and subsequently began producing and directing music videos for artists such as En Vogue, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, E-40, and Master P before working in television. Handy produced scripted and unscripted television series for BET, MTV and Fox. He became senior vice president of original programming at Bounce TV in 2014, where he produced series such as Mann & Wife, Family Time and Saints & Sinners. He left after the network was purchased by E. W. Scripps Company in 2017, to found his own production company.
Handy co-founded Sunwise Media with Elverage Allen in 2018. He has written, produced and directed a number of films and television series, such as Hope Village and Unsolved History.
Handy is the showrunner of Harlem Globetrotters: Play It Forward, hosted by Craig Robinson, which premiered on NBC on October 1, 2022. The series follows the Harlem Globetrotters through their tours and games, and shines a light on their community outreach. The show's first season was successful, garnering high ratings among young Black viewers and receiving an Emmy nomination.
He is the creator of the documentary series Rebuilding Black Wall Street: Greenwood about the reconstruction of Greenwood District, Tulsa after its destruction during the Tulsa race massacre. The series, which is hosted by Morris Chestnut, premiered on OWN on September 29, 2023.
On June 16, 2020, Handy made a post seeking Black, unionized film editors on a Facebook group for film editors which had around 14,000 members. Handy wanted to make a list of Black editors in the industry after receiving a number of calls from film executives seeking Black film editors in the wake of the George Floyd protests. The post went viral and generated controversy among film editors, with some white editors claiming that it was reverse racism and demanding the post be taken down. An attorney began tweeting screenshots of replies to the post, many of which contained racist comments.>
The controversy sparked a larger discussion about the marginalization of people of color in the film industry, with producers such as Ava DuVernay, Matthew A. Cherry and Gina Prince-Bythewood speaking in support of Handy. At the time, only 5% of unionized production crew members in the industry were Black. In response to these events, Handy established the Handy Foundation, which provides training and job placement programs to early career production crew. The foundation partnered with the Motion Picture Editors Guild, the Los Angeles Urban League, and a number of studios and production companies. African-American Film Critics Association president Gil Robertson IV wrote that initiatives like Handy's were needed to reform the industry.
Handy has received the NAACP Image Award and a Prism Award. In 2019, Handy won a gold award at the Spotlight Awards, and a "Social Impact Award" from A Show for a Change. He received the award for "Best Director Documentary Feature" at the 2020 LA Film Festival. | [

75,589,518 | Greg Goya | Greg Goya (born 1998) is an Italian street artist based in Turin.
Goya's first foray into art was his creation of custom Nike sneakers, which he termed "sneaker art". He then began working in the fashion industry. Goya left after four years, in 2022, which he credited to being tired of the tiring and stressful environment.
Goya's first piece of street art, entitled "Kiss Stop", was in Murazzi in Turin. The piece consisted of a painted heart on the ground, with the label "kiss here". Goya uploaded a video of passerby's reactions to the piece on TikTok in December 2022, where it quickly gained traction and accumulated one million views. The video's success inspired Goya to continue with "fast art" street art installations. By August 2023, he had 95,000 followers on Instagram, which increased by October to 173,000 followers on Instagram and 100,000 followers on TikTok.
Many of his works are installed in Turin, including in Porta Nuova, where he installed a clock which asked viewers "What is the right time?"; the numbers on the clock were replaced with the word "now". At another Turin metro stop, he installed a hopscotch game. In a March 2023 collaboration with the Palace of Venaria, he installed a white bench with a painted question asking viewers who they would like to sit with.
In May 2023, Goya was invited to display a work at the Street Art Museum in Narni, Umbria. His chosen work was a crucifix in a box with a glass front, labeled in English, "In case of desperation, break the glass". The piece received some backlash online, with users accusing Goya of blasphemy. Also that month, Goya presented a piece at TikTok's booth at the Turin International Book Fair.
Goya has largely developed a positive relationship with local police, especially due to his use of washable paint, but has faced backlash on social media for "defacing" streets and landmarks.
Goya calls his pieces "fast art", referring to how they can quickly provoke emotion in a viewer; he considers his work to be a hybrid between street art and performance art. To achieve this, the pieces are often fairly simple. Goya's works are also frequently interactive, such as offering people space to write an answer to a question, offering an item for people to take, or prompting viewers to perform an action. When he uploads videos of his work to social media, many users will also answer questions posed by the pieces.
Many of Goya's works focus on love and romance. He has said he wants to "mature artistically" before making pieces that deal with social or political criticism.
Goya has not revealed his legal name, but has said he is from Turin and that Gregorio was his baptismal name. Goya was previously a law student before dropping out to pursue art as a career. | [

75,589,563 | Di Que Sí (song) | "Di Que Sí" (English: "Say Yes") is a song by regional Mexican band Grupo Marca Registrada and American norteño band Grupo Frontera. It was released on 3 February 2023, as the sixth single on the former's album Don't Stop the Magic (2023). The song was written and produced entirely by Edgar Barrera and is Grupo Marca Registrada's most successful single and highest-charted song, peaking at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Following the success of Grupo Frontera's collaboration with Fuerza Regida on "Bebe Dame", the band released "Di Que Sí" with Grupo Marca Registrada which was originally sent to the latter by Edgar Barrera, stating that "it was made for [them]." and both groups knew that the song was going to be a hit.
Musically, "Di Que Sí" is a Tejano and a norteño cumbia song, about a man who is trying to put away his regrets and calls an ex-partner, who were in the wrong and tries to reconcile their relationship. The song was inspired by Bobby Pulido's song "Desvelado".
"Di Que Sí" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 99 in the week ending on April 29, 2023. It later peaked at number 89 in the week ending on May 6, 2023, marking Grupo Marca Registrada's first time and Frontera's fourth time on the chart. The song also appeared on the Hot Latin Songs and Latin Airplay charts, peaking at number 15 and number three, respectively. "Di Que Sí" also peaked at number 11 on the Mexico Songs chart and number one on the Regional Mexican Airplay chart, marking Marca Registrada's first appearance on the latter chart and Frontera's third number-one on the latter chart in a row. Also appearing on the Billboard Global 200 and the Global Excl. US charts, "Di Que Sí" peaked on number 152 and number 190 in each chart, respectively.
A music video was released on the same day of the song's release, on Grupo Frontera's YouTube channel. Filmed in Monterrey and directed by Abelardo Baez, it shows both groups performing at the Macroplaza, with fans watching the performance. The music video garnered over five million views in its first week. | [

75,589,639 | Organized crime in Taiwan | Organized crime in Taiwan refers to the activities of criminal syndicates in Taiwan. The organized crime societies, often referred to as Taiwanese triads or gangs, are involved in racketeering, drug trafficking, assassination, and various other illegal activities. The three largest triads in Taiwan are Bamboo Union, Four Seas Gang, and Heavenly Way Gang.
In Taiwan, the criminal underworld is commonly referred to as heidao (Chinese: 黑道; lit. 'black way'), heibang (Chinese: 黑幫; lit. 'black gang'), or heishehui (Chinese: 黑社會; lit. 'black society'). Members of organized crime are colloquially called xiongdi (Chinese: 兄弟), whereas a leader or chief is sometimes called dage (Chinese: 大哥; lit. 'big brother').
The development of modern organized triads in Taiwan largely goes back to the 1950s following the retreat of the Republic of China to Taiwan. The Four Seas Gang was founded in 1955 and is the second largest gang in Taiwan with 46 branches and over 700 known members. The Bamboo Union was formed by waishengren children of Kuomintang soldiers who wanted to consolidate power against Hoklo Taiwanese. The first members lived on Zhulin Road (Chinese: 竹林; lit. 'bamboo forest') in what is now Yonghe District in New Taipei City. It was established in 1957.
In 2020, declassified documents showed that the Bamboo Union had close ties with the Kuomintang (KMT) government and Chiang Kai-shek family during the martial law period known as White Terror. Between 1960 and 1984, Bamboo Union members held up to 19 top government positions, including posts in the National Security Bureau, all branches of the armed forces, and the Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau. Former leader Chang An-lo confirmed the 1984 plot to assassinate writer Henry Liu after his publication of an unauthorized biography of president Chiang Ching-kuo. He recounted that intelligence bureau chief Wang Hsi-ling sent gangsters Chen Chi-li and Wu Dun to assassinate Liu, though according to another account, Chiang Hsiao-wu dispatched the gangsters.
In response to the public outcry over Liu's murder, the government carried out Operation Clean Sweep, a widespread crackdown that led to the arrest of 2,346 gangsters and confiscation of large quantities of guns and knives. Small-time jiaotou boss Lo Fu-chu was imprisoned and suffered at the hands of other gangs. Three years later, in 1986, Lo created an alliance of local jiaotou gangs named the Heavenly Way Gang (Chinese: 天道盟), now the third largest gang, as a benshengren response to the waishengren-dominated gangs.
After martial law was lifted in 1987, organized crime saw a surge in the supply of smuggled guns and drugs, resulting from a reduction in maritime patrols. Mob infiltration of business and politics became more common in the 1990s.
In recent years, gang groups have expanded operations "by engaging in telecom fraud, online gambling, cross-border money laundering, arms and drugs trafficking, and other crimes" according to government officials. In a committee briefing, interior minister Lin Yu-chang noted that crackdowns on gang activity have identified 1,180 crime organizations across the country, with 755 businesses operated by gangs.
In 2008, the Bamboo Union was ranked by Foreign Policy as one of the world's most dangerous gangs. It was linked to the kidnapping of Hong Kong businessman Wong Yuk-kwan in 2015.
Taiwanese gangs have also been linked to human trafficking schemes in Southeast Asian countries like Cambodia and Myanmar. In 2022, Taiwanese law enforcement reported over 80 individuals were scammed into going to Cambodia that year. Victims are then coerced into committing wire fraud.
Taiwanese film Monga (2010) depicts organized criminal activity, such as prostitution, in 1980s Wanhua District. Upcoming Netflix series The Brothers Sun (2024) starring Michelle Yeoh is also in the gangster genre that portrays the organized crime underworld of Taiwan.
Funerals of crime bosses have become a cultural phenomenon, often covered in national media. The funeral of a Tainan local boss was attended by 3,000 alleged gang members, mostly from Taipei. Law enforcement speculated that the these visiting groups aimed to use the occasion as a way to recruit members for their respective gangs. In 2023, a YouTube video of a crime boss's 2019 funeral reached over a million views. Criminal Investigation Bureau police asked the site to take down the video, on the grounds that gangs may use it to recruit youth members. | [

75,589,686 | Phil Smith (rugby) | Philip Vivers Smith (15 July 1946 — 22 April 2000) was an Australian rugby union international who represented Australia in eight Test matches. He also played rugby league for South Sydney.
Educated at Sydney Boys High School, Smith was a Randwick centre and received his first Wallabies call up for the 1966–67 tour of Britain, Ireland and France. He missed the early stages of the tour after dislocating his shoulder in the Shute Shield grand final, but after linking up with the team featured in 16 uncapped matches.
Smith gained eight caps for the Wallabies from 1967 to 1969, forming a centre combination with John Brass, a Randwick teammate and former schoolmate. His maiden Wallabies cap came against the All Blacks at Athletic Park, Wellington in 1967, having been selected on the back of a three-try performance for Sydney in a win over Ireland. He played all possible Tests in 1968, before his Wallabies career was ended by a knee ligament injury on the 1969 tour of South Africa.
Smith, who had played junior rugby league for Clovelly, signed with South Sydney in 1970 and made 20 first-grade appearances over the next four years, with knee injuries continuing to hamper him. | [

75,589,712 | Thomas J. Wright (American scholar) | Thomas J. Wright is an American international relations scholar currently serving as Senior Director for Strategic Planning at the United States National Security Council (NSC) in the Biden administration. He was part of a team instrumental in putting together the 2022 U.S. National Security Strategy, released in October 2022.
Wright holds a BA in history (1996) and a MA in comparative politics (1997) from University College Dublin, a M.Phil. from University of Cambridge (1999), and a PhD in government (international relations) from Georgetown University (2007). His thesis is titled "Great Power Responses to Threat Transitions and the Legitimacy Burden: U.S. Soviet Relations 1943-1950".
Prior to joining the NSC, Wright was a senior fellow and director of the Center on the United States and Europe at the Brookings Institution.
Between 2008 and 2011, he was executive director of studies at the Chicago Council of Global Affairs.
Wright has served as a predoctoral fellow at Harvard's Belfer Center and a postdoctoral fellow at the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies. He has also taught at the University of Chicago's Harris School for Public Policy.
In a December 2021 Brookings written exchange on technology's role in US-China strategic competition, Wright wrote: "Beijing is likely to continue to use its enormous economic power to build asymmetrical ties to companies and countries that serve its interests but it will struggle to provide an alternative to the U.S. model of international cooperation on technology. It would have more levers it could pull to slow down a formal alliance but it will find it difficult to undermine a more diffused approach." | [

75,589,735 | Our Stories, Our Voices | Our Stories, Our Voices: 21 YA Authors Get Real About Injustice, Empowerment, and Growing Up Female in America is a 2018 short story, non-fiction anthology edited by American author Amy Reed. The essays, which used the election of former president Donald Trump as a prompt, discuss topics such as abuse, coming-of-age, feminism, racism, sexual assault, social justice, and violence, often through "the lens of race, gender bias, and Islamophobia".
On behalf of Shelf Awareness, Nell Beram made clear the book's intended audience, indicating that those who did not feel lost after the results of the 2016 presidential election were announced "will not likely find common ground with the contributors"; however, those who felt a loss "will find comfort" within the book's essays.
Kate Quealy-Gainer, writing for The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, indicated that the book shows "a clear effort at intersectionality, with a diverse set of women reflecting on elements beyond gender that informed their path to adulthood". Quealy-Gainer further noted that "although many of the essays end with a call to action, there's only one page of resources offered in the back to guide young readers to social justice activism". As such, she concluded that the essays "serve more as reflective pieces for readers interested in the topic or as discussion starters".
Kirkus Reviews considered the essay "successful in showcasing a wide array of topics, although some entries end with abrupt or seemingly anecdotal conclusions". They noted that the book's "fundamental message is one of growth and hope" and concluded that "readers of all genders can benefit" from the book's "advice and perspectives".
Publishers Weekly thought that, "collectively, the contributors provide a broad-ranging, ultimately galvanizing perspective on living as girls and women in today’s America". | [

75,589,762 | King Charles (TV program) | King Charles is an American news discussion show broadcast by CNN. Premiering on November 29, 2023, the program is hosted by Gayle King and Charles Barkley. King is a co-host of CBS Mornings and Barkley is a panelist on Inside the NBA, which is also produced by CNN's parent Warner Bros, Discovery.
The show was the brainchild of former CNN chief Chris Licht, who was fired in June 2023. Licht had wanted more personality-based programming. The program replaces CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip on Wednesdays. The program was described as "a talk show centered around the news stories and cultural moments that Gayle and Charles are most interested in" and not a straight newscast. King and Barkley interview both political and cultural figures and take calls from media personalities. For instance, the second show included an interview with United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken and comedian Billy Crystal. The program is prerecorded which makes it subject to preemption due to breaking news events.
The first show drew 501,000 viewers which was the lowest-rated program of the three main news networks and 140,000 less than the debut of NewsNight the previous month, and CNN's lowest-rated debut in a decade. The following week's show lost 35,000 viewers. | [

75,589,791 | Chen Zau-nan | Chen Zau-nan (Chinese: 陳昭南; born 11 December 1942) is a Taiwanese politician.
Chen Zau-nan studied music at the Taiwan Provincial Taipei Normal College, music education at the National Taiwan University of Arts, and later attended the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. He remained in Austria after completing his education, and was influenced by the nation's democracy, which led the Kuomintang one-party state in Taiwan to blacklist him from returning. After the Kaohsiung Incident of 1979, Chen moved to the United States and began working for the American branch of Formosa Magazine. Upon his 1990 return to Taiwan, Chen was held in the Tucheng Detention Center. Political persecution of Chen ended in 1992, following revisions to the Punishment of Rebellion Act [zh] in 1991 and Article 100 [zh] of the Criminal Code of the Republic of China [zh] in 1992.
After Mark Chen took office as Tainan County Magistrate, Chen Zau-nan assumed Mark Chen's party list Legislative Yuan seat in 1994. After completing Mark Chen's term in 1996, Chen Zau-nan was elected to a full term in his own right in 1998, via party list proportional representation. During his second stint as legislator, Chen also served on the Democratic Progressive Party's Central Committee. In 2001, Chen and fellow legislator Yang Chi-hsiung accused James Soong and his family of embezzlement, fraud, breach of trust, money laundering and tax evasion. Later that year, Chang Chun-hung substantiated allegations of vote selling against Wang Hsien-tang, stating that he, Chen Zau-nan, and Liu Kun-li had witnessed Wang planning prior the Democratic Progressive Party legislative primaries. Chen lost the party primary for a position on the Democratic Progressive Party list, and was instead named the Democratic Progressive candidate for the Kinmen County Magistracy in the 2001–02 Taiwanese local elections. This was the first time that DPP had named a candidate for a county dominated by New Party supporters. He lost to New Party candidate Lee Chu-feng.
Chen Zau-nan is close to Chang Chun-hung. After Chen Shui-bian won the 2000 presidential election, Chen Zau-nan proposed removing Taiwan independence from the Democratic Progressive Party platform. In June 2014, Chen and Julian Kuo formally petitioned for the party to consider freezing the first article of its charter, which discussed independence. Opponents of the petition called for Chen and Kuo to resign their party membership. Party chair Tsai Ing-wen sent the petition to the DPP Central Executive Committee for future discussion.
Prior to the 2018 Taiwanese local elections, Chen served as a mediator between the Social Democratic Party, Taiwan Radical Wings, and Green Party Taiwan, which decided to form an electoral coalition called the Social Welfare State Front. Chen has written political columns disseminated by Newtalk [zh]. | [

75,589,826 | Wat Kaeng Khoi | Wat Kaeng Khoi (Thai: วัดแก่งคอย, pronounced [wát kɛ̀ŋ kʰɔ̄ːj]) is a Theravāda Buddhist monastery in central Thailand, loacted in the downtown Kaeng Khoi, Saraburi province.
Wat Kaeng Khoi was built and has been talked about for a long time. Part of its fame are from the holiness of Luang Pho La, a monk who had been looking after the temple for a long time.
The temple was first plant around 1787, it has a long history with so many legends and names. It used to be known as Wat Kaeng Nang Khoi. Wat Raeng Khoi is another example. However, once its official name was Wat Jamu Samosorn in which means "temple of the noblemen's area".
Unfortunately, such name was difficult to pronounce so the name of the temple was changed again. It was then named Wat Kaeng Khoi, after the name of its location, Kaeng Khoi district.
The former abbot, Luang Pho La has a long biography, his story started even before the World War II. He was born in Ubon Ratchathani in Isan (northeast) and ordinaed in a temple, Wat Khorthong, in his native.
His holiness granted a lot of faith from laymen so people keep coming to worship him. Those whose wishes were fulfilled came back to make a vow so his fame became widely known.
There are many places of interest in the temple, such as the Maha Chedi Si Pasak (มหาเจดีย์ศรีป่าสัก, "the great pagoda in honour of Pa Sak"), a cetiya (pagoda) where holy relic of Lord Buddha is enshrined. Therefore, people like to come here to worship the holy relic.
Viharn Phra Buddha Siyard Nimitr Mongkol Munee Si Kaeng Khoi (พระพุทธไสยาสน์นิมิตมงคลมุนีศรีแก่งคอย), the chapel enshrines a big reclining Buddha statue. The building was built at the same period as the Maha Chedi Si Pasak. Luang Pho La built this Buddha statue to remember his mother.
A replica of Kyaiktiyo, one of sacred pagodas in Myanmar. It is known to Thais as Phra That In Khaen (พระธาตุอินทร์แขวน). The pagoda was built on a small hill on the bank of the river Pa Sak, people like to pay their worship there. Its location also offers the Pa Sak river panoramically.
The cave of Phaya Nak, the artificial cave with many chambers and each chamber has many Phaya Nak (พญานาค, "the great divine serpant") sculptures. It is considered the highlight and unseen of the temple.
In addition to various sacred places, there are also constructions related to the local history in the temple's compound, such as the aircraft bomb monument. During World War II, the Allies bombed heavily in this area to attack Japanese troops. This was because the Japanese army had occupied the area of Kaeng Khoi as a strategic point for transporting military equipment via the railway route. People ran to the temple when they heard the siren as they believed that the holiness of the temple could protect them. Once a bomb was dropped in front of the chapel of Luang Phu La, but it didn't explode. That bomb didn't explode so the fame of Luang Phu La's holiness became wildly known. Beside the bomb monument is a marble tablet with Japanese characters, it was built to commemorate the Japanese soldiers who died in this war. The names of all the deceased are inscribed on the monument. The last bombing raid against Japanese forces at Kaeng Khoi occurred on April 2, 1945.
In front of the two monuments, there are also model of locomotive and low relief art piece telling the story of Kaeng Khoi where once was heavily bombed in that time.
Wat Kaeng Khoi is lined on Sut Banthat road opposite the Kaeng Khoi traditional market exit, in a place not far from the Kaeng Khoi Junction railway station. | [

75,589,835 | Invitation to a Banquet | Invitation to a Banquet: The Story of Chinese Food is a 2023 book by Fuchsia Dunlop, published by W. W. Norton & Company in the United States and by Particular Books in the United Kingdom.
Luke Tsai of KQED wrote that the book is "a meandering, often philosophical exploration of what Chinese food culture actually is" rather than a cookbook. Eugenia Bone of The Wall Street Journal wrote that the work was made "to help outsiders appreciate Chinese food culture more generally."
Dunlop decided to write another book during the heightened phases of the COVID-19 pandemic because rules enacted in China barring travel were enacted and therefore Dunlop was not able to visit that country.
There are 28 chapters, with each about a particular dish or food production facility and a history around the subject. These chapters are arranged in four groups: "Hearth," "Farm," "Kitchen," and "Table." Each section, respectively, is about the history of food, the ingredients, about styles of cooking, and what Bone describes as a "grab bag". The page count is 480. There are a total of 30 dishes chronicled in the work.
At times, Dunlop criticizes previous stigma against Chinese cuisine in the West.
Dwight Garner of The New York Times described the work as "a serious and intrepid work of culinary history".
According to Bone, the book is "a joyously sensual, deeply researched and unabashedly chauvinistic read". Bone stated, in regards to the "Table," section, that some of its contents are "illuminating".
Isabel Wilson of The Financial Times described the work as "erudite".
Bee Wilson of The Times wrote that the work "is an erudite joy that makes you yearn to taste the delights Dunlop describes." According to Wilson, "Occasionally Dunlop’s advocacy for Chinese food can feel one-sided."
Tim Lewis of The Observer wrote that in this book, the author's "desire to educate and enlighten finds its fullest expression". | [

The coaster is set to open in 2024 as part of a new Croatian-themed area in the park. Voltron Nevera was manufacturered by Mack Rides at their factory in Waldkirch, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The ride is due to be sponsored by automotive manufacturer, Rimac, as announced at the coaster's name reveal ceremony.
Voltron Nevera will be a combination of a dark ride and launched roller coaster. Included in the ride's layout is a beyond-vertical (105°) launch at the start of the ride, a booster launch, a turntable and a multi-pass/swing launch.
Voltron Nevera is due to open alongside the first phase of a new Croatian-themed area of Europa-Park, located between the Greece and Russia themed areas. The site had previously been occupied by a satellite dish, which was demolished in February of 2022 for construction of the new themed area to begin. In April 2023, Europa-Park released an animated video render containing both on-ride and off-ride shots of the new coaster. The track was completed in May 2023. | [

75,589,898 | Alliance du personnel professionnel et technique de la santé et des services sociaux | The Alliance du personnel professionnel et technique de la santé et des services sociaux (APTS) is a union representing and defending the interests of 60,000 workers in Quebec's public health and social services sector. Its head office is in Longueuil.
The APTS sometimes joins coalition to support broader issues, in line with the convictions of the majority of its members. It is thus associated with the following groups: Centre international de solidarité ouvrière, Coalition Solidarité Santé, Forum social québécois, Intersyndicale des femmes, Regroupement québécois d'interaction continentale, Réseau Vigilance, Secrétariat intersyndical des services publics and Internationale des services publiques.
The APTS was officially founded on March 18, 2004, out of the merger of two unions: the Association professionnelle des technologistes médicaux du Québec (APTMQ), which had 5,000 members, and the Centrale des professionnelles et professionnels de la santé (CPS), which had 10,000 members. These two organizations decided to join forces in order to better combat frequent and undesired changes imposed by new legislations.
In 2005 and 2006, following the adoption of Bill 30 by Quebec's government, the APTS experienced a 60% increase in membership. This law forced unionized Quebecers to choose a single union to represent their profession.
In 2015, following the merger of more than 180 establishments in Quebec's health and social services network caused by Bill 10, the APTS was once again forced to conduct a union allegiance campaign. This resulted in the organization becoming the largest category 4 union, representing 56,000 members, in April 2017.
In 2020, the union claimed 60,000 members.
In 2022, the APTS joined with the FTQ, CSQ and CSN, as part of the Front commun intersyndical de 2023. Together, they organized a series of strikes in 2023, eventually cumulating into the 2023 Quebec public sector strikes.
During the APTS's first years, there were two presidents to ensure the proper representation of the two newly merged unions. Then, in 2006, the union's reformed its bylaws to only have one president: | [

75,590,029 | Peter Lucas (rugby union) | Peter William Lucas (born 24 September 1956) is an Australian former rugby union international.
Lucas, born in Inverell, New South Wales, played junior rugby in Sydney, but spent much of his childhood overseas, living in Fiji, the United States and Hong Kong. Capped by Hong Kong during his time there, he returned to Australia in 1978 and played for Wollongong club Shamrocks, then joined St. George in the Shute Shield two years later.
A loose forward, Lucas was controversially picked over Gary Pearse by the Wallabies for the 1981–82 tour of Britain and Ireland. He wasn't capped and instead made his debut on the 1982 tour of New Zealand, featuring in all three Tests as a number eight. Despite winning Sydney first-grade rugby's "best and fairest award" in 1983, Lucas was overlooked for that year's tour to France and Italy.

75,590,057 | Brothers of Light | Brothers of Light is a contemporary street artist duo from Jerusalem, known for their international large-scale vivid art works using unique sets of old and modern symbols.
Brothers of Light began their joint journey in 2014. Consisting of real-life siblings, Elna (born 1988) and Gab (born 1991), the duo grew up in the skateboarding scene in Jerusalem, which served as their first inspiration. The brothers first began painting on stickers and other small objects before moving onto small walls. Shortly after, they were drawn to larger surfaces.
The duo studied at the Department of Visual Communication at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem (in proximate years); over time they developed a shared visual language that stems from their mutual life experiences and childhood memories.
According to the brothers, their name "Brothers of Light" was inspired by the title of their first solo exhibition, and their mother's desire for them to join forces and do something good. After her death, they began working together and decided to use this name for their first exhibition in 2015 as a tribute to her. The "Light" in the name was a reference to their mother, and the desire to spread positivity and do good in the world.
Brothers of Light have showcased their work both indoors and outdoors, using a variety of mediums such as murals, silkscreen prints, sculptures and paintings on canvases, ceramics and reused woods and metals. They are primarily influenced by the urban culture of the world's diverse streets, their connection to the skateboarding and hip-hop scenes, as well as worldly ancient cultures and symbols.
They have participated in international urban art festivals and residency programs in countries including Israel, France, Germany, Portugal, and the United States. In 2017, they teamed up with Israeli street artists to form a collective called "Prettymess" and presented a group exhibition at Beit Ha'ir, Tel Aviv. In 2019, before leaving their hometown Jerusalem, they revealed their second solo exhibition, “Last Tripp in Jerusalem”. In 2022 they debuted their solo exhibition, “From Dirt”, in Jaffa, presenting a three-year project of painting over dozens of metals they salvaged from a garbage site near their studio. | [

75,590,086 | Georgia–Ichkeria relations | Relations between Georgia and the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria began in 1991, when both countries declared independence from the Soviet Union. They continued to pursue relations until Chechnya was re-annexed by Russia in 2000.
Chechnya and Georgia declared independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Both nations aimed to gain international support against the Soviet Union and Russia.
During the spring of 1991, Dzokhar Dudayev and Zviad Gamsakhurdia met in the Georgian town of Kazbegi. The meeting was arranged by Aslan Abashidze, a leader of Georgia's autonomous Adjarian republic. By that time, Dzokhar Dudayev had been chairman of oppositional All-National Congress of the Chechen People since November 1990, while Gamsakhurdia had been the chairman of Georgian parliament since November 1990 and President of Georgian since April 1991. Gamsakhurdia sought Dudayev's support against Russian-backed Ossetian separatist militants in Georgia's South Ossetian autonomy (Chechens’ ethnic cousin Ingushs themselves having territorial dispute with Ossetians in East Prigorodny). Gamsakhurdia told Dudayev that Georgia had no problem to support Chechnya based on “mutual hostility to Russia and communism”. Two leaders discussed establishing “Caucasian commonwealth of free and independent states”.
Dudayev enlisted Gamsakhurdia's support in the spring. Gamsakhurdia provided Dudaev with a geopolitical and trade “back door” leading through Georgia to Turkey and Black Sea. Moreover, Dudayev received weapons from Gamsakhurdia through the Akhmeta raion of Georgia.
In September–October 1991, Dudayev's supporters seized power in Chechnya in the Chechen Revolution. Dudayev was subsequently elected as Chechnya's President and in this new position, he proclaimed Chechnya's independence from Russia. The move was welcomed by Georgia's President Zviad Gamsakhurdia. Gamsakhurdia was one of the first to congratulate Dudayev with victory and attended his inauguration as president in Grozny. While Chechnya did not receive backing from international community, it received support and attention from Georgia, which became its only gateway to the outside world that was not controlled by Moscow. Close ties between Gamsakhurdia and Dudayev led to Russian officials, including Alexander Rutskoy, accusing Georgia of “fomenting unrest in the [Chechen autonomous] republic”.
According to Stephen F. Jones, a historian and specialist on Russian and Eurasian studies, against the background of uneasy relations with both Russia and the West, Gamsakhurdia's administration saw Chechnya as a crucial regional ally. Gamsakhurdia and Dudayev promoted the concept of “Common Caucasian House”, a regional alliance against foreign interference. Georgian-Chechen partnership was seen as pivotal to its success.
In January 1992, Gamsakhurdia was overthrown in Georgia by the armed opposition and he had to flee the country. He was given asylum in Chechnya. Gamsakhurdia continued to fight for his power in Georgia, and Chechnya became base of his operations against new Georgian government of Eduard Shevardnadze. Meanwhile, Gamsakhurdia and Dudayev also deepened their cooperation and further promoted a Union of Caucasian States. In February 1992, they signed a joint communique, stating that stabilization in the Caucasus was impossible without cooperation. They also urged Russia to withdraw its troops from the region. Gamsakhurdia and Dudayev organized “All-Caucasian Conference” which was attended by groups pushing for independence from Russia from all over the region. In March 1992, Gamsakhurdia's government in exile officially recognized Chechnya's independence and established diplomatic relations. Thus, it became the first government in the world to do so. However, Eduard Shevardnadze and the Georgia's ruling State Council in Tbilisi did not confirm this acknowledgment.
Due to Dudayev's ties with Gamsakhurdia, relations with the new Georgian government soared, and it closed its border to Chechnya, thus aggravating its international situation. The relations were further complicated by the involvement of Chechen Battalion led by Shamil Basayev in the War in Abkhazia on Russian-backed Abkhazian side against the Georgian government.
In September 1993, Gamsakhurdia flew from Chechnya to Georgia and led a rebellion to regain power. A brief civil war saw Gamsakhurdia being defeated by Shevardnadze with Russian military support, and in January 1994 Gamsakhurdia was found dead. During the civil war, Shevardnadze made an accusation that Dudayev's troops were fighting on Gamsakhurdia's side, an accusation denied in Grozny. Gamsakhurdia's supporters managed to transport his coarse to Chechnya. Dudayev provided state funeral and Orthodox Christian last rites to Gamsakhurdia. During his burial in Grozny in February 1994, Dudayev stated: “We are gathered here today to give back to the earh a brave son of the Caucasus, a man who believed in freedom”.
During First Chechen War, Shevardnadze supported Russia's military campaign, in a hope that Russia would “come to its senses” and “understand its mistake” of supporting “aggressive separatism”, thus it would help Georgia to regulate Abkhazia and South Ossetia conflicts. Shevardnadze called First Chechen War a “boomerang” for Russia and stated that “everything that is happening in Chechnya began with Abkhazia”.
Following the First Chechen War and Dudayev's death, there was an attempt to rebuild relations by the Georgian government of Eduard Shevardnadze and new Chechen President, Aslan Maskhadov. A series of meetings occurred in the spring of 1997, including one on 15 March 1997 in Ingush capital Nazran between Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov, Ingush President Ruslan Aushev and Georgian defense minister Vardiko Nadibaidze, with Russia's prior approval. In August 1997, Maskhadov visited Tbilisi and Akhmeta raion, where estimated 7,000 Chechens live. Maskhadov met Zurab Zhvania, chairman of Georgia's parliament. Maskhadov and Shevardnadze reached an agreement on building a highway connecting Grozny and Tbilisi that would give Ichkeria an outlet to the sea. However, Georgia made it clear that it would not open an airspace to Chechnya.
During his meeting with Georgian officials, Chechen President Aslan Maskhadov acknowledged that Chechen involvement in Abkhazia conflict was a mistake and apologized for it. He also expressed readiness to offer help to resolve the conflict through mediation. Maskhadov called Chechen involvement in Abkhazia conflict “Dudayev’s mistake” and made commitment to severely punish any Chechen who would participate in actions against Georgia.
Soon after these meeting in 1997, an Office of the Representative of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria was opened in Georgia.
Despite these improvements, there were still limitations to Chechen-Georgian “strategic cooperation”. Although Shevardnadze had begun to loosen his ties with Russia in 1996, Georgia sought to pursue cautious policy not to risk confrontation with Moscow. As such, Minister of State Nino Lekishvili stated that Georgia would pursue relations with Chechnya while guiding by the principle that the republic was part of Russian Federation. Georgia feared that Georgia's support for Ichkeria would lead Russia to use “instability on its border” as a pretext for exerting pressure on Tbilisi.
Besides that, Chechen violent crime in Akhmeta also complicated relations. Over the years, Chechen armed groups engaged in kidnapping of Georgian citizens, and the Chechen community in Akhmeta engaged in the smuggling and sale of narcotics in Georgia.
In September 1999, during the war in Dagestan, Shevardnadze and Georgian State Minister Vazha Lortkipanidze met Chechen Vice President Vakha Arsanov and announced mutual support. During Second Chechen War, Georgia opened its border for Chechen refugees, while Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Georgia of harboring Chechen militants and becoming a “safe heaven” for “terrorists”. Shevardnadze did not express support for Russian actions. According to some reports, money supporting Chechen insurgents was channeled through Georgia. Russia insisted on using Georgian air space to launch operations against “Chechen terrorists” and it also wanted Georgia to allow Russian border guards to control the Georgian side of Chechen-Georgian border, but Shevardnadze refused Russian requests. This led to straining of Georgia–Russia relations. In November 2000, Russian President Vladimir Putin introduced a visa regime for Georgian citizens and a visa free regime for the residents of Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia and South Ossetia. This was despite the fact that citizens from other republics of Commonwealth of Independent States were not required visas to travel to Russia. Russia asserted that Georgia sheltered fighters from Chechnya and that visas were necessary to “guard against infiltration”. Gas supply from Russia was repeatedly cut off to Georgia in winter 2000, which was widely seen as a Russian response to growing Russia-Georgia tensions. | [

The meeting was arranged by Aslan Abashidze, a leader of Georgia's autonomous Adjarian republic. By that time, Dzokhar Dudayev had been chairman of oppositional All-National Congress of the Chechen People since November 1990, while Gamsakhurdia had been the chairman of Georgian parliament since November 1990 and President of Georgian since April 1991. Gamsakhurdia sought Dudayev's support against Russian-backed Ossetian separatist militants in Georgia's South Ossetian autonomy (Chechens’ ethnic cousin Ingushs themselves having territorial dispute with Ossetians in East Prigorodny). Gamsakhurdia told Dudayev that Georgia had no problem to support Chechnya based on “mutual hostility to Russia and communism”. Two leaders discussed establishing “Caucasian commonwealth of free and independent states”.",

Gamsakhurdia was one of the first to congratulate Dudayev with victory and attended his inauguration as president in Grozny. While Chechnya did not receive backing from international community, it received support and attention from Georgia, which became its only gateway to the outside world that was not controlled by Moscow. Close ties between Gamsakhurdia and Dudayev led to Russian officials, including Alexander Rutskoy, accusing Georgia of “fomenting unrest in the [Chechen autonomous] republic”.",

Meanwhile, Gamsakhurdia and Dudayev also deepened their cooperation and further promoted a Union of Caucasian States. In February 1992, they signed a joint communique, stating that stabilization in the Caucasus was impossible without cooperation. They also urged Russia to withdraw its troops from the region. Gamsakhurdia and Dudayev organized “All-Caucasian Conference” which was attended by groups pushing for independence from Russia from all over the region. In March 1992, Gamsakhurdia's government in exile officially recognized Chechnya's independence and established diplomatic relations. Thus, it became the first government in the world to do so.

During the civil war, Shevardnadze made an accusation that Dudayev's troops were fighting on Gamsakhurdia's side, an accusation denied in Grozny. Gamsakhurdia's supporters managed to transport his coarse to Chechnya. Dudayev provided state funeral and Orthodox Christian last rites to Gamsakhurdia.
