75,607,797 | Schloss Ebnet | .
Schloss Ebnet is a baroque mansion in Ebnet, a district of Freiburg im Breisgau.
Earlier than 1113 the Abbey of Saint Peter in the Black Forest acquired property in Ebnet from Duke Berthold of Zähringen through an exchange of property. Around 1348, a knight Schnewlin von Landeck, a member of an influential family in Breisgau, is reffered to as the lord of Ebnet. Ebnet came into the possession of the Barons of Sickingen, a Baden noble family, in 1568 through the marriage of Anna von Landeck, the last representative of the Schnewlin von Landeck family.
They had a manor house built in Ebnet in 1696 on the site of a moated castle and used it as a summer residence. Their city palace in Freiburg is today the seat of the Freiburg District Court. In 1804, the barons' land was transferred with the Breisgau to the Baden state, to which the Sickingen family also sold the palace in 1809. The grandson of Grand Duke Charles sold it in 1811 to the barons of Gayling von Altheim, who still live in it today.
The mansion was built from 1748 onwards by order of Baron Ferdinand Sebastian von Sickingen-Hohenburg according to a design by the architect Johann Jacob Fechter from Basel because the previous building no longer met the client's requirements. Important Baroque artists from the region were consulted for the artistic decoration, in particular Christian Wentzinger, who created the human-sized sandstone sculptures in the palace park, the originals of which are now in the Museum of City History Freiburg. The stucco work in the 14 rooms of the palace was created by Wessobrunner stucco-worker Hans Georg Gigl, the richly decorated stucco masks in the garden hall by Wentzinger. The ceiling paintings, especially in the garden hall, are mainly allegorical, painted in 1750 by the Allgäu artist Benedikt Gambs. The ceiling of the garden hall is signed by the artist. After Gamb's death, the ceiling painting of the magnificent staircase was created by Johann Pfunner (*around 1713/16 - †1788), who came from Tyrol and lived in Freiburg.
The appearance before the remodeling is documented on the high altarpiece in the Ebnet parish church St. Hilarius. The picture was painted in 1730 by Franz Bernhard Altenburger. It shows Hilarius and the second patron saint of the church, St. Remigius, as they lower God's gifts of grace onto Ebnet, whose local view angel children unroll. The earlier appearance of the village and the castle can be seen in this view of the village.
During the Second World War, the castle was not bombed, but the Volkssturm blew up the Eschbach bridge in front of the castle, causing considerable damage. Numerous windows and parts of the roof were broken. The worst hit was the ceiling painting in the garden hall, which was later restored.
During the war, up to 100 refugees from the Ruhr area, Ludwigshafen, Freiburg and the surrounding area were housed in the castle and its outbuildings. The later Minister of Culture of Bavaria, Hans Maier, also spent the bombing night of November 27, 1944 in the cellar of Ebnet castle. The last refugees did not leave the property until 1950/51. The kitchen was originally located in the cellar and was moved to the first floor in 1958. The castle also served as one of the locations for the 1958 music and local history film Schwarzwälder Kirsch.
The castle was extensively restored in the 1980s. The Theodor Egel Hall, which now serves as a rehearsal room for the Freiburg Bach Choir, was built in the castle park in place of a coach house. Today, the castle is only open to the public for special cultural events such as the Ebneter Kultursommer or on Open Monument Day.
In 1991/92, the historic riding hall with a riding arena measuring 20 × 40 meters, which had been dismantled at the Rosenstiel riding club in Littenweiler, was rebuilt true to the original in Ebneter Schlosspark. The riding hall houses the Holzingstube, named after Max Freiherr von Holzing-Berstett (1867 to 1936). Holzing-Berstett was a dressage rider and played a key role in the international dressage rules that apply today. Since 2006, the "Storchenschule Ebnet" has also been housed in the parlor, where information about the life of the animals is permanently presented.
The castle complex belongs to the "Hôtel entre Cour et Jardin" type - palace between courtyard and garden. The group of buildings consists of four parts: the gatehouse, the farm building opposite it, the chapel and the main building, which are grouped around a spacious courtyard. The main façade faces the garden. A projecting central gable is adorned with the family's magnificent coat of arms and is further emphasized by the balcony and the double flight of steps. The head of construction was Simon Schratt (1714-1781) from Altstätten in Oberallgäu. At the other end of the garden are the outbuildings such as stables, sheds and barns.
In order to renovate and preserve the castle (expected costs of at least two million euros), the owners planned to build a holiday home resort in the riding hall and barn in 2018 and a restaurant in the castle's vaulted cellar. The Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz is providing 100,000 euros for the roof renovation in 2020.
At the entrance on the left, opposite the gatehouse, is the Chapel of the Holy Cross. It was built in 1732, before the castle was built, and then became part of the castle complex. It was connected to the north wing of the castle during renovation work around 1748 and served as a place of worship and prayer for the castle's lords. From 1811 it was used as the castle kitchen, having already been stripped of its furnishings. After the castle kitchen was moved back into the main building, the chapel was renovated and used as a place of worship by the Dreisamtal Protestant community from 1958. From 1979 to 1984, it was the church of the Orthodox congregation of "St. John the Baptist". After renewed profanation and subsequent restoration, the Freiherrlich Gayling von Altenheimsche Gesamtarchiv was housed here. After the archive was taken over by the Freiburg State archive, the chapel was restored to its original purpose as the Sickingen-Kapelle on October 29, 2017. However, it is now open to all faiths at the request of the landlord. A new bell was also cast.

75,607,941 | Emilia Perez | Emilia Perez is an upcoming musical crime comedy film written and directed by Jacques Audiard.

Principal photography began in May 2023 in the Île-de-France region, before wrapping on 5 July 2023.
The film is produced by Pascal Caucheteux through his company Why Not Productions, and also by Audiard and Valérie Schermann through their company Page 114; in coproduction with Mexico's Pimienta Films and France 2 Cinéma.

75,607,978 | Shahina Waseem | Shahina Waseem is a world champion competitive chilli eater from Uxbridge, Middlesex. As at November 2023, she had an unbeaten streak consisting of 97 consecutive wins in chilli eating competitions in the UK, USA and Belgium. She ranks second in the Official League of Fire (LOF) world ranking, which recognises “the best of the best chilli heads on the planet”.
Waseem’s parents moved to the UK from Pakistan before she was born. She studied mechanical engineering with aeronautics at Brunel University London. After graduating in 2004 she started a property letting company.
Waseem’s first competitive chilli eating competition was in 2012 at the Kingston Food Festival. Her favourite pepper is the Thai Bird's eye chili. Of competitive chilli eating she said, “it’s a form of extreme competitive sport which is not affected by age or gender.”
After her third win, in 2015, she described the experience of competing as ““the pain from my lips, mouth and throat being on fire, ear drums feeling like they were about to explode, face muscles twitching involuntarily, hands shaking uncontrollably, shivers, chills and shakes and violent body tremors... followed by muscle spasms and cramps and heartburn.”
In 2019 she competed against, and beat, US champion, Johnny Scoville in Guildford, UK. She then flew to America and competed against, and beat, Dustin “Atomik Menace” Johnson. In order to raise the funds for the trip she ate 105 Carolina Reapers in one sitting; the only woman to have ever done this.
Of the 71 competitions she had entered by 2021 she had “failed to throw up afterward about 11 times, which means you get the dreaded cap cramps: gastric distress caused by capsaicin in the GI tract.”
In 2021 she was the world record holder for the most consecutive wins at chilli-eating competitions with 81 consecutive wins. The person ranked second behind her at that point had 8.
Waseem features on the labels of two bottles of chilli sauce made by The Chilli Project: Killer Queen Chug Challenge and Killer Queen 2 Chug Challenge. In 2022 she partnered with GymBox to create a chilli-based workout system based around capsaicin, the active ingredient in chilli, and its ability to increase body temperature and oxygen consumption. She hosts chilli eating competitions, including the World Halal Food Festival at the London Stadium in September 2023.

75,608,006 | Wally Hull | Walter Norbury Hull (2 March 1907 – 10 March 1985) was an international motorcycle speedway rider from England. He earned two international caps for the England national speedway team.
Hull, born in Manchester, rode in the pioneer years of British speedway beginning his British leagues career riding for White City Manchester during the inaugural 1929 Speedway English Dirt Track League season. He was described as the Altrincham star. He gained recognition in 1930 and was selected to represent England against Australia.
His two seasons with the Manchester club were chaotic because they withdrew from the league on both occasions. In 1931, he joined Belle Vue Aces, where he would enjoy a better foundation and duly impressed with an 8.84 league average and helping his team become league champions.
Following the amalgamation of the Southern and Northern leagues for the 1932 Speedway National League season, he was transferred, moving to London to ride for the Wimbledon Dons. His form dipped and he found himself spending a season with Sheffield Tigers in 1933 and then had a fractured season in 1934, riding for the Lea Bridge/Walthamstow team.
In 1935, he returned to Belle Vue, where he would spend the remainder of his career (with a enforced break during World War II), retiring in 1948. He won several numerous trophies with the club including the 1935 and 1936 trebles. | [

75,608,131 | Michigan Court of Claims | The ' Courts of Claims is a statewide court with limited jurisdiction. The court of claims has jurisdiction to hear cases filed where the State of Michigan is a Defendant. The Court of Claims by statue operates like the Michigan Circuit Courts.
The Michigan Court of Claims held its first hearing on January 17, 1940. Circuit Court Judge George W. Sample drafted the rules for the new court. The Court of claims replaced the prior claims committee of the administrative board. The prior system which the court of claims replaced was not only unsatisfactory from a procedure point of view but put state officials in the position of defendant, judge, and jury in each case. There was no opportunity to appeal the administrative boards ruling. Under the newly established court of claims, now let the claimant appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court.
The Court of claims sessions were held in the Senate Chamber committee room. The ordinal court under Judges Sample rules would provided for six terms a year, each three weeks long. The Court would only meet the First Wednesday of June and November and the third Wednesday of January, March, April and September. A claim filed to be heard on one of the published days would have to be filed 14 days prior to the start of the term.
Judge Samples rules also had all cost of litigation placed on the state and parties filing cases could not be assessed cost. The first clerk of the Court of Claims was William T. Caughey. The first session of the court had 13 cases on the docket. The larges claim before the new court was $100,000 filed by Briggs Commercial & Development Co. The claim alleged that damages came from the widening of Woodward-ave at Birmingham.
In the April 1940 term of the court, a claim was filed by Alexander Ripan from Saginaw, Michigan filed a claim for $10,000 in damages. He was covicted in 1919 on circumstantial evidence and was sentenced to life in prison. He was incarcerated until he escaped in 1929. He was a wanted fugitive 1935 when he was returned to prison. He was accused and convicted of the murder of Luca Tirpula on March 25, 1920. There was ballistic evidence uses in the conviction, however new testing declared that Ripan's gun could not have filed the shot. the prosecutor who tried the case filed for his release under a nolle prosse of the case. The former prosecutor is now representing Ripan in the claim against the state.
A bill in the 1939 Legislature was introduced to compensate him for the 13 years but it did not pass. After a hearing in the court of claims, Mr. Ripan was denied an award. Ingham County, Michigan Circuit Judge Leland W. Carr who presided over the hearing found no merit to Ripan's claim that he was entitled to $10,000 for work he preformed while he was sentenced to [life at hard labor]]. It was noted by many at the time that "the American policy of refusing compensation to men who are wrongly imprisoned for long periods is one of the greatest defects in the administrations of justice."
The Court of Claims was part of the 30th Michigan Circuit Courts however in 2013 the legislature passed legislation that moved the Court of Claims to the Michigan Court of Appeals. | [

75,608,151 | Aaremilch | Aaremilch AG is a Swiss milk producer organization based in Lyss.
Aaremilch AG goes back to Lobag Milch AG based in Ostmundingen, which was founded in 2007 by the LOBAG Genossenschaft, Landwirtschaftliche Organisation Bern und angrenzende Gebiete (LOBAG cooperative, agricultural organisation Bern and neighbouring areas, since 2015 Berner Bauern Verband). The cooperative decided in February 2012 to separate its advocacy representations and milk trades. In 2013 the company was renamed Aaremilch AG and the headquarters was moved to Lyss. Aaremilch is involved in the export company Lactofama, which was founded in 2014. In 2018, Aaremilch took over the membership of the Berner Bauern Verband in the Schweizer Milchproduzenten (Swiss Milk Producers, SMP).
In June 2022, it was announced that Estavayer Lait (Elsa) wanted to acquire 50% stake in Aaremilch AG and Simmental Switzerland AG. The administration of the Migros-Genossenschafts-Bundes and the shareholders of Aaremilch AG as well as the Competition Commission approved the transaction. Managing director, Donat Schneider, will leave the company at the end of June 2024, after having held the position since 2013. Schneider was previously managing director of what is now the Berner Bauern Verband since 2006. He was replaced in his position as managing director by Reto Burkhardt starting as of 1 March 2023.
In March 2018, construction of the Naturparkkäserei (nature park dairy farm) in the municipality of Diemtigen began, and Elsa, together with Migros Aare, invested in a milk bottling plant. Around 90% of the cheese is intended for export. The Naturparkkäserei Diemtigtal AG rents the dairy farm to Simmental Switzerland AG and Elsa. At the end of May 2021, it was announced that Migros Aare would be taking over 23% stakes in the Naturparkkäserei Diemtigtal AG, that the milk bottling plant was to be expanded and that organic milk will also be bottled there. Aaremilch AG holds 77% of the shares, the other 23% is held by the Dutch company Royal A-Ware.
Simmental Switzerland AG was founded as a subsidiary of Aaremilch AG but has been completely taken over by Elsa. The cheese dairy company also produces Switzerland Swiss, a foil-ripened large-hole cheese made from silage milk, which, among other things, is sold as M-Budget cheese under the name “Simmentaler” for Migros. Meadow milk is processed at the Estavayer location and bottled directly in the Diemtigtal nature park dairy farm for Migros Aare, bears the label “From the region” and is marketed as such.
Members of Aaremilch AG is made up of around 2,000 milk producers, 60 cheese factories, and dairy farms from the Bern, Freiburg, Neuchâtel and Lucerne regions. The milk producers are grouped into 14 regional milk rings.
The vertical integration of Migros is critically viewed by Boris Beuret, President of the Schweizer Milchproduzenten and the MIBA Genossenschaft. The participation of Migros would weaken the position of producers. | [

75,608,287 | Krystyna Żywulska | Krystyna Żywulska, actually Zofia (Sonia) Landau (born September 1, 1914, in Łódź; died August 1, 1992, in Düsseldorf), was a Polish writer, columnist, songwriter and graphic designer of Jewish origin.
She studied law at Warsaw University, but her studies were interrupted by the outbreak of World War II. In 1941, she and her family were resettled in the Warsaw ghetto. After two years, she and her mother managed to escape (she had to leave her father in the ghetto under dramatic circumstances). She then became involved in the Polish resistance movement under the assumed name Zofia Wiśniewska, working in a group that produced false documents. In 1943 she was arrested by the Gestapo. Interrogated in Szucha Avenue (Gestapo headquarters in Warsaw, known for its cruel interrogations), she gave her name as Krystyna Żywulska. She was imprisoned in the Pawiak prison and then, as a political prisoner, sent to the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz, from where she was sent to the Birkenau sub-camp. She was one of seven survivors of a transport of 800 people from Pawiak to the camp. She worked in the women's unit registering new prisoners (the so-called Canada), in the immediate vicinity of the gas chambers. In the camp Krystyna Żywulska composed poems (they could not be written down), which over time became very important to her fellow prisoners. They learned them by heart and passed them on. The most famous became "Wymarsz przez bramę", which was to be sung on the day of the camp's liberation. Other titles include "Appeal", "Dance, girl", "Unsent letter", "Parade", "Earlier the birches grew here", which were also secretly passed on to other female prisoners and memorized. Most of these poems were lost: only eight survived, four of which Żywulska included in her book I Survived Auschwitz. On January 18, 1945, during the death march, the evacuation of the concentration camp from Oświęcim to Wodzisław Śląski, Żywulska managed to escape at the border of Brzeszcze and Jawiszowice, after which she hid with local residents.
After returning to Warsaw, she married her childhood friend Leon Andrzejewski (1910-1978), a functionary of the communist security apparatus, and had two children with him. She joined the Polish United Workers' Party (PZPR) and was a member of its executive branch at the Main Board of the Union of Polish Writers in 1950.
In the late 1950s, she met Thomas Harlan in Warsaw, whose father, Veit Harlan, directed propaganda films during the National Socialist era. Thomas Harlan was involved in tracking down Nazi crimes of people who were now important figures in the Federal Republic of Germany. She helped him with research whose publication was unwelcome in the Federal Republic of Germany, but which eventually helped trigger the German trials of several former Nazis in the 1960s. When Harlan and Żywulska began to uncover analogous careers of former Nazis in the German Democratic Republic, the commissioners of the book in which their research was to be published stopped the project.
In 1963 Żywulska wrote her next book, Empty Water, about the Warsaw Ghetto experience. When an anti-Semitic campaign developed in Poland after March 1968, Żywulska, who only revealed her Jewish background in Empty Water, was ostracized and her sons were forced to leave the country. She followed them first to Munich and then to Düsseldorf, where she settled permanently. There she translated both of her autobiographical books into German. Toward the end of her life she took up painting pictures. She died of leukemia. She is buried in Düsseldorf.
She made her debut in 1946 with the memoir I Survived Auschwitz. The book is a record of harrowing memories of life in the death camp. Also published in English: I survived Auschwitz, French J'ai survecu Auschwitz, German Ich überlebte Auschwitz, Russian Я пережила Освенцим and Czech Přežila jsem Osvětim. The war period is also covered in the aforementioned Auschwitz poems and the novel Empty Water (1963), also published in English Empty Water, French L'eau vide, German Leeres Wasser, Japanese 空の水. When writing about Poles, Jews and Germans, she avoided simplifications, looking at each case individually.
She wrote satires, columns, epigrams, epigrams and limericks (published in 1956 in the book So Called Life). Her cabaret monologues and songs were performed on the radio and in films, as well as printed in the press (e.g., by Szpilki magazine). In 1968 Sława Przybylska performed her song "Żyje się raz". She wrote lyrics for the Wagabunda and U Lopka cabarets, as well as songs, the most popular of which are: "Dopóki życie trwa", "Taka jestem zakochana", "Żyje się raz", "Tańcz ze mną, tańcz" for the film "Kochajmy syrenki" (1966), "Ty i ja, i noc" for the film "Kulig" (1968).
In 1991, Maria Nurowska picked up one of the threads of her biography from her time in a concentration camp in her book Love Letters, based on conversations she had previously conducted with Krystyna Żywulska.
In 1998, Liane Dirks used Żywulska's diary entries and notes from interviews with her in her book Krystyna. According to Andrzej Szczypiorski, this half-documentary, half-literary stylization only partially allows one to get closer to the truth about Żywulska.
In 2012, Jake Heggie composed a short opera, "Another Sunrise", in which the protagonist (Żywulska) tries every night to find a language suitable for expressing her memories so that she can record them on tape.
A feature film project based on the book Empty Water has been in development since 2012.
In 2017, preparations began for the production of the film "Three Women", directed by Magdalena Łazarkiewicz. The film is to tell the story of the intersecting fates of Krystyna Żywulska, Stanisława Rachwal, a prisoner of a German camp, persecuted by communist secret police after the war, and her persecutor from the Nazi camp, Maria Mandel. According to the film's producer, Andrzej Stachecki, "From these stories one can create a certain synthesis treating how a person facing different totalitarianisms knows how to find dignity in extreme situations and, most importantly, to forgive." | [

75,608,311 | Snakebird (video game) | Snakebird is a 2015 puzzle video game developed by Noumenon Games.
In each of the game's 53 levels, the player controls one or more characters, known as "snakebirds". Gameplay consists of moving the characters around a 2D grid, with movement similar to Snake, except with gravity along the y-axis. The objective of each level is to maneuver the characters to a goal, while collecting fruits that serve as objectives and avoiding obstacles. Collecting fruit increases the length of the characters, which usually makes it easier to navigate the levels. The challenge of the game arises from needing to control multiple characters in a way that builds towards reaching the goal, and the indirectness of the solutions.
Snakebird originated from a prototype developed for, but never submitted in, Ludum Dare 27 in August 2013. The game was released on 4 May 2015.
Snakebird Primer, a sequel to the game, was released on 20 February 2019. The sequel contains 70 levels, and is regarded as having been made substantially easier than the original to appeal to a wider audience.
Snakebird Complete, a game that compiled the levels from Snakebird and Snakebird Primer, was released for the Nintendo Switch on 24 November 2023.
Snakebird received positive reviews, with critics citing its visual design, describing it as "cute" while contrasting that aspect with its difficulty. Comments included Kotaku's descrption of the game as a "wolf in sheep's clothing" and Pocket Gamer stating that "If it wasn't totally passé to call things 'the Dark Souls of,' I'd call Snakebird the Dark Souls of puzzle games".
Touch Arcade rated Snakebird's iOS release five out of five stars, commenting that the game felt more natural played on a mobile device. They also praised its visual design, animations, and backgrounds, but commented on its difficulty, describing it as "tough" and stating that it was not for everyone.
Eurogamer praised Snakebird Complete for its level design, the conciseness but trickiness of its puzzles, and its nonlinear level selection map.
Baba is You developer Hempuli Oy described Snakebird as "probably the singular title that has most affected Baba Is You's design". | [

75,608,374 | Makarandasarini | Makarandasāriṇi is a Sanskrit astronomical table text composed by the Indian astronomer-mathematician Makaranda (c.1438-1478) hailing from Varanasi. In the Sanskrit astronomical literature such table texts are referred to as sāriṇi-s or koṣṭhaka-s. (The word sāriṇi may be loosely translated as “stream, path, line”.) It is one of the most popular such texts ever composed in Sanskrit.
Makarandasāriṇi follows the Saurapakṣa. This is the midnight-epoch system embodied in a recension of the Sūryasiddhānta dating to around the eighth century. This is reflected in the choices of the values of the fundamental parameters, like the values of the celestial bodies’ revolution-numbers and consequent mean velocities. Another unique feature of Makarandasāriṇi is the use of vegetation-themed Sanskrit technical terms for its various tables. The table giving the mean position increments has been called vāṭikā (garden) and the table giving calendar day/time for mean time unit has been called guccha (blossom, flower). There are tables named valli-s (creeper) and saurabhaṃ-s (fragrance, perfume). In comparison to most other sāriṇi-s or koṣṭhakā-s, Makarandasāriṇi has no accompanying set of verses except for an invocatory stanza at the beginning of the text.
Among other things, the book has tables relating to the following:
There are a large number of commentaries on Makarandasāriṇi in circulation. These commentaries provide detailed instructions on how to use the tables sometimes with elaborate worked examples. The following is only a partial list of these commentaries. | [

75,608,507 | Xotic | Xotic is an indie action-shooter developed by WXP Games and published by Valcon Games. The game was released for Microsoft Windows on September 11, 2011, via Steam and on November 16, 2011, for the Xbox 360. A Desura release came later on February 12, 2012.
According to Game Rant, "Xotic is a hybrid of first-person shooter and arcade action. Players earn points by blasting enemies and performing chain combos."
After existing as a non-corporeal energy being for eternity, an ancient entity known as The Orb has gone rogue. The Orb is lonely and longs for a body. Infuriated, it embarks on a galactic massacre, taking over species and obliterating planets that have the alluring, red-glowing toxins known as scabs. As a warrior genetically engineered to battle The Orb, the player assumes the role of the antagonist of the game.
Every level has rows and groups of red blobs known as "scabs" (featured in the cover art) that, when hit, burst one after the other to maintain a chain bar that is used for "terraforming." The player's chain multiplier and final score will increase the longer they shoot other scabs to keep this bar from lowering to zero.
The story exposition is hammered significantly by the voice-over narrative - which is forced through a filter attempting to give it a futuristic sound but, at the same time, makes it more difficult to decipher what's being said. The game also includes leaderboards so players can compare their skills with friends.
Xotic received "mixed or average" reviews, according to review aggregator Metacritic.
Destructoid says that "Xotic demands a certain competitive mindset to fully enjoy it, to be sure, but for those who want to test their first-person skills with the type of score-based arcade gameplay that is usually found in other genres, it does what it sets out to do and it does so successfully without overwhelming the player."
Brett Todd on GameSpot says that "The PC and Xbox 360 versions of the game are nearly identical, although there are some differences when it comes to controls. The 360 edition has issues with imprecise movement and overly twitchy aiming." He also said that "The distinctive look, alien level design, and hallucinogenic story and setting are the biggest pluses in Xotic." | [

75,608,519 | Nymphaea vanildae | Nymphaea vanildae is a species of waterlily endemic to Pernambuco, Brazil.
Nymphaea vanildae is an aquatic herb with cylindrical tubers, which are likely not stoloniferous. The roots are contractile.
The strongly brittle, brownish, glabrous peduncle has five primary central and ten secondary peripheral air canals. The androecium consists of 98–100 stamens. The outer lanceolate, 4.2–4.4 cm long and 1–1.1 cm wide stamens have white filaments. The inner stamens measure 2.1–2.4 cm × 1.9–2.2 mm, with reddish-purple filaments. The outer stamens have white to yellow-green, 0.2–0.4 mm long terminal extensions of the filament. The inner stamens do not have these extensions. The yellowish-white anthers are 3.5–5 mm long in the outer stamens and 5–7 mm long in the inner ones. Staminoids are absent. The gynoecium consists of 21-25 carpels with flat, linear, 7.5–9.0 mm long and 2.0–2.8 mm wide appendages with a rounded apex. The apex and base is cream-coloured, while the remaining parts display a reddish-purple colouration.
Stolons were not observed, but Nymphaea vanildae reproduces vegetatively through proliferating pseudanthia.
No fruits have been observed.
It was first described by C.T.Lima and Ana Maria Giulietti in 2013.
The type specimen of Nymphaea vanildae was collected by C.T. Lima and L. Lima in Lagoa Grande, Pernambuco, Brazil, 50 km from the municipality of Petrolina, on the 23rd of April 2011.
It is placed in Nymphaea subgenus Hydrocallis.
The specific epithet vanildae honours Maria Vanilda Morais Oliveira of the State University of Feira de Santana.
It is thought to be critically endangered (CR). Its fragmented habitat is only about 100 km² big.
It occurs in the aquatic habitats of the Brazilian Caatinga. It occurs in temporary lagoons. | [

75,608,542 | Arthur Jervis | Arthur Warden Jervis (26 February 1905 – 12 December 1987) was an international motorcycle speedway rider from England. He earned two international caps for the England national speedway team.
Jervis, born in Coventry, rode in the pioneer years of British speedway, riding dirt track meetings in his home city of Coventry from the age of 14 and becoming champion of the Midlands and North in 1928. He also bought a garage in Coventry.
He began his British leagues career riding for White City Manchester during the inaugural 1929 Speedway English Dirt Track League season. His two seasons with the Manchester club were chaotic because they withdrew from the league on both occasions. He also raced a couple of times for Belle Vue Aces.
In 1931, he enjoyed a full season of league racing for Leicester Super, recording an impressive 10.14 league average for the club. This was the second best league average behind Eric Langton.
Following the amalgamation of the Southern and Northern leagues for the 1932 Speedway National League season, he moved to London to ride for the West Ham Hammers.
Jervis cut his speedway career short after the 1932 season. Despite being capped by England and still being in demand by teams, he chose to concentrate on his builder's business in Coventry. | [

The war began in 457 with a revolt of the Goths in Aquitania that pushed aside Roman authority, followed by an aggressive conquest in the adjacent Septimania aimed at area expansion. The war ended with a Roman victory over the Goths in the Battle of Arles in 458.
The most important contemporary sources in which this war is reported are the Gallo-Roman writer Sidonius Apollinaris (431-489) and the bishop of Chaves Hydatius (400-469). Furthermore, the Historia Francorum (history of the Franks) of Gregory of Tours (535-594) is an early source.
In the run-up to this war, there was a crisis situation within the Western Roman Empire. Emperor Avitus was deposed in October 456 by the rebelling generals Ricimer and Majorian and then assassinated. In the Gallic provinces, the Gallo-Roman aristocracy rebelled against this deposition and appealed to the Burgundian and Visigothic allies. The Visigothic King Theodoric II (453 - 466) was staying in Spain at that time where he campaigned against the Suebi along with the Bourgondian king Gundioc. When they reached the news of the deposition of the emperor and the revolt in Gaul, Theoderic left command to his generals Sunerik and Cyrila and returned to Toulouse, while Gundioc and his entire army returned to the mountains of Saudia.
The recently appointed emperor in the east Leo I, who was now also emperor of the west until he had appointed a successor, inherited a difficult relationship with the west from his predecessors. He was initially unwilling to cooperate with the rebellious generals, but lacked sufficient influence to impose his will on the West. In the end, the extremely unstable situation in the west asked for a solution that made him dwell on the two generals who served in Italy.
Leo appointed Ricimer as patricius e magister militum commander-in-chief with the title of Patrician and Majorian as magister militum, making Majorianus the subordinate of Ricimer. In doing so, he insulted Majorianus who, with the support of the Senate, forced Leo to appoint him to Caesar on April 1, 457. When Leo hesitated to acknowledge him, Majorian proclaimed himself emperor of the west on December 28, 457, with the support of the Senate and the army.
The Gallic aristocracy considered Majorian elevation to emperor by the Senate as usurpation and put forward their own candidate Marcellinus as successor to Avitus.To strengthen themselves against Roman power in Italy, they sought support from the Burgundians and Visigoths. A delegation representing several cities in addition to the senatorial nobility turned to Gundioc and sent an envoy to the emperor in the east. In exchange for more territory, the Burgundian king supported the Gallo-Romans and sent militias to the cities. The Visigothic king Theodoric also lined up behind the insurgents.
The interregnum lasted months after the death of Avitus. Most of the Gallic cities and aristocracy were turned away from Italy, and Generals Ricimer and Majorian were unsure what to do now. Taking advantage of the situation, Theoderic saw opportunities to found his own state on Roman soil. In the course of 457 he put aside the treaty with the Romans and rebelled, with which the war began. In Aquitaine he drew all power towards him and ordered his brother Frederik to conquer the adjacent region Septimania. The answer to this from the formal authority in Italy was long overdue. An invasion of northern Italy by the Alemanni and the southern Vandals caused Ricimer and Majorian to focus their attention on other matters than the Visigoths in Gaul. Yet they had a windfall with the imperial army in Gaul which was partly under the command of Aegidius, a general who declared himself loyal to Majorian. With this they still had a card in their hands that would soon be deployed.
The advance of the Goths in the south continued reprehensively now that they encountered no opposition. Frederick conquered Septimania and Theodoric II seized Narbonne which gave the Goths access to the Mediterranean. This port city fell into his hands without gun violence thanks to the betrayal of the Roman general Agrippinus, unlike Aegidius, had turned away from Majorian. According to Mathisens, he belonged to the Gallic insurgents who had turned to the Burgundians. Nevertheless, after the conquest of Septimania, the Visigoths clashed with the Gallic field army led by Aegidus. Majorianus had appointed him magister militum per Gallias, replacing Agrippinus, and given the order to put things in order in Gaul. At Arles, the Visigoths clashed with the Romans, with Aegidius being cut short. After his defeat, he withdrew from the south.
Recimer and Majorian could not send reinforcements now that they themselves were confronted with external incursions in Italy. From Raetia, the Alemanni penetrated Italian territory as far as Lake Maggiore. There they were intercepted and defeated by the troops of comes Burco, sent by Majorian to stop them. A group of Vandals landed in Campania in the summer of 457, at the mouth of the Garigliano River, and began to destroy and plunder the region. Majorian personally led the Roman army to a victory over the invaders at Sinuessa killing many of them.
Only after consolidating his position in Italy could Majorian concentrate on restoring power in Gaul. Before that, he first had to strengthen the Roman army. Unlike under Aetius, at this stage the Roman army no longer had the manpower and logistics to maintain itself as before. Majorianus recruited barbarians en masse to bring the army to strength. Some of these were Huns under a certain Tuldila, who came from a group that settled on the Danube during the collapse of Attila's empire. Others were Rugi, Gepids, Heruli and Goths from Noricum and Pannonia, and it is likely that Majorianus agreed to formally recognize the territory and income they controlled in exchange for their military services. He may also have withdrawn some of the remaining Pannonian Limitanei Be that as it may, from the military commander of Dalmatia Marcellinus he received support consisting of supplying troops and fleet units.
With his new federated troops, Majorian had assembled a force of as many as 10,000 men. He appointed Nepotianus as his second general in rank behind Ricimer and then marched across the Alps towards Gaul. Here Aegidius's army joined him, who had meanwhile strengthened with Frankish auxiliary troops, and their army now amounted to 20,000 men, with which the Roman army was considerably stronger than the armed forces that Theodoric could oppose.
With the bulk of his army, supplemented by loyal foederati and accompanied by his generals Aegidius and Nepotianus, Majorian marched in 458 against the Gallic insurgents who had united with the Burgundians of Gundioc. They entered the Rhone Valley and defeated the Burgundians even before they could have retreated into Lugdunum. Then it was the turn of the rebellious Gallic cities in the south, which surrendered one by one to Majorian.
After this, the Romans marched against the Visigoths of Theoderic who stayed with his army near Arles, at the mouth of the river Rhodanus (Rhône).The resulting battle was an overwhelming defeat for the Goths. The Roman army was supreme in battle and won the battle. The defeated Visigoths fled after the defeat and King Theodoric II narrowly escaped death.
The Visigothic army fled to Toulouse where they were enclosed by the Roman army. After a brief siege, the king surrendered and peace talks began. In the peace that Majorian forced the Visigoths, they had to give up their settlements in Spain and Gaul and return within the limits of their settlement area in Aquitaine according to the original foederati treaty with the Romans from 418. | [

75,608,641 | Siege of Rumkale | The Siege of Rumkale or the Fall of Rumkale took place in 1292 and resulted in the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia losing the castle of Rumkale to the Mamluk Sultanate.
Amidst the fierce wars between the Egyptian Mamluks on one hand and the Mongol Ilkhanate and the Crusaders on the other hand, the Kingdom of Lesser Armenia which was an Armenian Kingdom in southern Anatolia (modern-day southern Turkey). When the Mongols were preparing to invade Egypt, the Armenians supported them. These forces were annihilated along with the Mongols at the hands of the Mamluks in the Battle of Ain Jalut (1260), and in all the battles in which the Armenians cooperated with the Mongols or Crusaders after that.
After the Mamluk army conquered the city of Acre, which was considered the most important Crusader state and the heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, there was an Armenian castle called the Rumkale (meaning the "Roman Castle"). This castle was very important to the Armenians because it was the seat of the Armenian Patriarch. It was also a refuge to the Mongols and the Crusaders who fled from the Mamluk army in the Levant. The castle's forces, led by the Armenian Patriarch Stefanos IV, secretly carried out raids on Muslim caravans and on rural villages, in violation of a treaty with the Mamluk sultan al-Mansur Qalawun.
The Mamluk governor of the city of Aleppo learned through his spies about these violations of the treaty. In 1292, a detailed report was sent to Sultan al-Ashraf Khalil, who was still returning to Egypt after the conquest of Acre. The sultan ordered a general mobilization throughout Egypt and the usual call for volunteers in Egypt to join a campaign against Rumkale. The preachers in the mosques delivered sermons to encourage Muslims to join the jihad. Al-Maqrizi, a 14th-century writer, mentions that the most prominent preacher was the Abbasid caliph, who delivered a sermon in the mosque of the citadel.
Sultan El-Ashraf Khalil bin Qalawun accompanied by his vizier Ibn al-Sal'us came out at the head of the Egyptian army to confront the Armenians. The Egyptian army reached the city of Damascus, then moved to Aleppo. From Aleppo, it reached the walls of the Rumkale Citadel, whose inhabitants and its Armenian and Mongol fighters were shocked by the Egyptian army outside the city walls. But despite the terror within the walls of the castle, the city was very impregnable because of the Euphrates River and the Marzban River, which surrounded the castle from every point, and its mountainous nature, in addition to the strength and height of its walls. All of these factors made it a more formidable and stronger castle than the Acre Castle, which the Egyptians conquered with great difficulty.
The Egyptian army did not give up and began to implement a plan that was extremely intelligent and difficult at the same time. As an attempt to restrict the inhabitants of the castle, the Armenians and Mongols, and force them to surrender, the Egyptian forces pulled the waters of the Euphrates River towards the valleys and they were filled with water. With the presence of the Marzaban River, the Egyptians knew that they could control the castle from all sides. 30 catapults were deployed and began to demolish the city walls during the Egyptian siege on it, the catapults continued to strike the walls of the citadel without stopping for a month until the walls of the city were pierced on many sides. At that time, Prince Sanjar al-Shuja'i, the deputy of Damascus, ordered a chain to be made and entangled in the holes. The Egyptian soldiers mounted it in a great epic battle, and fought intensely. The citadel was conquered on Saturday, the eleventh of Rajab, in the year 691 AH, corresponding to 1292 AD.
After the Egyptians entered the citadel, they stormed the headquarters of the Armenian Patriarch Stefanos IV, who was attacking Egyptian caravans and villages and protecting the Mongols, and he was arrested.
The Egyptian army's siege of the castle lasted for 33 days, and after its conquest, Sultan Khalil named it the Qal'at al-Muslimin (Castle of the Muslims), instead of its old name, the Rumkale Castle. It was known by this name, and Sultan Khalil ordered the rebuilding of everything that was destroyed in the castle and the flags of the Sultanate of Egypt be raised over it on all sides.
Sultan Khalil left Emir Sanjar al-Shuja‘i at the castle and returned to Damascus with prisoners. The population of Damascus bid farewell to the victorious Sultan on his way to Cairo at night with thousands of lighted candles. The Egyptian army returned, with Sultan El-Ashraf Khalil at its head, and entered Cairo at night from the Bab al-Nasr (Victory Gate), according to the old Egyptian custom. The Egyptian army was received by tens of thousands of Egyptian people who lighted thousands of candles and hanged decorations. The women continued to ululate and the voices of takbir and applause rose. | [

75,608,707 | Kinshasa Financial Center | The Kinshasa Financial Center (French: Centre Financier de Kinshasa) is a financial hub strategically located in the Gombe commune of Kinshasa, in the western region of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Covering a total area of 41,000 square meters, it is the largest financial center in the DRC. The center houses key institutions such as the Ministries of Finance and Budget, the General Directorates, the General Inspectorate of Finance, the General Secretariat of Finance, and the Development Bank. It is administered by the state-owned Investment Fund commercial entity, which supervises real estate assets like the financial and convention centers.
The center was commissioned by President Félix Tshisekedi in February 2022 and was officially inaugurated on December 19, 2023. It was constructed by the Turkish company Milvest, a subsidiary of Miller Holding.
In February 2022, Turkish President, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, visited the DRC as a part of Turkey–DRC bilateral relationship. During his visit, Erdogan signed several deals on security, defense, and infrastructure with the country. A conspicuous facet of these accords involved the participation of the Turkish construction firm Milvest, which was pre-financed $290 million by the DRC to construct the Kinshasa Financial Center. The construction commenced in June 2022 in the Gombe commune near a Turkish English International School, with an additional investment of $60 million for an affiliated hotel, which will be transferred to the DRC after a 49-year Turkish tenure. The project employed around 3,000 workers, including 1,800 Congolese and 1,200 Turkish workers.
The center was initially envisioned to span 18 months, featuring a skyline with twin towers of more than fifteen levels opposite the Courthouse. The first 20-story twin tower houses the Ministries of Finance at 107 meters, while the second 16-story twin tower accommodates the Ministries of Budget at a height of 90 meters. Parenthetically, the structures include a 16-story Finance Center at 78 meters, a 5-story government edifice, a 5-story Ministry of Technology tax office and data center, a 13-story, 66-meter 5-star hotel, and two office buildings with a helipad. The architectural plan also incorporates catering and retail spaces, two ultra-modern auditoriums within the Kinshasa Congress Center, boasting a capacity for 3,000 attendees across 3,500 square meters, as well as green spaces, a swimming pool, a water feature, and two parking facilities capable of accommodating 1,100 vehicles.
On December 19, 2023, amid the general election, the Kinshasa Financial Center was unveiled alongside other buildings at Université Pédagogique Nationale and Kinshasa General Hospital. During the inauguration ceremony, an underground parking lot was introduced to the public. | [

75,608,730 | Heat Flow Experiment | The Heat Flow Experiment was a lunar science experiment that aimed to measure the rate of heat loss at the surface of the moon. Four experiments were carried on board Apollo missions. Two experiments were successfully deployed as part of Apollo 15 and Apollo 17. The instrument on Apollo 16 was deployed but the cable from it to the ALSEP central station was broken and the experiment was rendered inoperable. A heat flow experiment was carried onboard Apollo 13 but the mission was aborted in-flight and the instrument never reached the surface.
Establishing some of the thermal properties of the moon's surface was already feasible by the time of the Apollo missions. Measuring infrared emissions via telescope and the measuring of microwave emission spectra from the moon was already possible from the surface of the earth. These techniques had already established some of characteristics of the moon's surface including temperature, thermal conductivity and heat capacity. The degree to which these properties were limited by the low levels of IR emission, long wavelengths limiting data resolution, and how the moon's thermal properties vary with depth.
No one person can be attributed with the proposal to measure heat flow from the moon given the large number of proposals NASA sought from academia, industry and from science groups at NASA itself. Several of these proposed such an experiment. The result though was that a small committee was formed to explore how thermal measurements of the moon could be taken. The committee decided that the focus of any thermal experiment should be focused on heat flow from the moon's interior.
The committee considered a number of approaches that included multiple probes and another that included "blankets". The blanket technique was initially ruled out due to the complexity of matching the thermal albedo of the blanket probes with that of the moon's surface. The method that became the basis for the instrument was a cylindrical heater paired with a temperature sensor a set distance away. Further work by this group established that the probe would need to be inserted into the subsurface to avoid large temperature fluctuations caused by the day-night cycle at the surface. Bendix Corporation were selected as the principal contractor for the instrument and Arthur D. Little as the sub-contractor. Gulton Industries Inc. were selected to develop the electronic circuitry.
Due to the need for the probe to be placed at depth below the regolith surface, it was known that a drill to penetrate the lunar surface would be required. Development of the drill was led by Martin Marietta, who had previous experience developing tools for NASA.
The instrument package consists of two probes, each consisting of two 50 cm long sections. Each section end has a gradient thermometer that can measure at two points 28 and 47 cm from each end. Each section can therefore measure temperatures along four points. The cables that connect the probe to the experiment's electronics housing also has 4 thermocouples at 0 cm, 65 cm, 115 cm and 165 cm from the topmost gradient sensor. Each section end also contains a heater to enable the measurement of material conductivity. Each heater had two power settings, 0.002 W and 0.5 W that would allow an exploration across a range of possible material conductivities. Readings from the experiment were taken either every 7.1 minutes or every 54 seconds depending on the heater mode. The probe sections were emplace through the use of the Lunar Surface drill, ideally to a depth of 3m below the surface.
The heat flow experiment was originally planned to be carried on Apollo 13 however due to the mission abort that occurred this did not occur. This instrument burnt up in Earth's atmosphere whilst still on board the Lunar Module. There was not sufficient time to add the HFE to Apollo 14.
The failure of Apollo 13 was perceived by its Principal Investigator to have had an impact on the collection of science. The planned landing site for Apollo was found to have a substantial presence of long-lived radioisotope. The project's principal investigator believed that if the Apollo 13 instrument deployment had been attempted, it would have led to better mitigations on later missions for the problems experienced with the drill and the compact regolith.
Drilling of the holes on Apollo 15 was undertaken by David Scott, the mission's commander. After drilling down 100 cm, the drill started to become ineffective but despite a number of challenges Scott managed to drill down to a depth of 170 cm. By this point Scott was having to apply his full weight and the decision was made to insert the first probe to prove out functionality. A second drill hole was started but difficulties with drilling were experienced immediately and finishing of the second drill hole was delayed for the second mission EVA. The second drill hole only managed to make a depth of 100 cm and the probe was not fully below the lunar surface. Despite these difficulties, the probes were able to take readings.
The cause of the challenges was due to the deeper levels of the lunar soil not having been undisturbed for at least half a billion years. This resulted in extreme compaction that meant further compression of the material could not occur without large amounts of force.
On Apollo 16 the holes for the probes were dug by Charles Duke who managed to drill down to 3 meters below the surface. The drill on Apollo 16 had been modified to rectify the issues experienced on the prior mission, Apollo 15. The experiment came to an end before it started when John Young tripped over the cable connecting the experiment to the ALSEP central station. Whilst the cabling has been designed to resist tensile strains from being tugged, it was not designed to resist tearing motions. Repairing was considered but rejected due to it needing several hours of surface time.
Both of the Apollo 17 boreholes were drilled without problem and both probes were installed without issue, continuing to operate for several years.
The experiment found that the very near surface of the lunar regolith, consisting of a few centimetres, was dominated by the radiative transfer of heat. This is primarily because the material is fairly aerated with limited soil particle contact reducing conductive transfer. During the lunar noon, 70% of all heat transfer was radiative. After the first 2-3 cm, the soil compaction increases and the subsequent density increases from 1.1-1.2 g/cc to 1.75-2.1 g/cc. The result is a substantially increased conductivity.
The HFE found a thermal gradient of between 1.5-2.0 °K/m with a heat flow of around 17 mW/m. When accounting for measurement uncertainty, this aligned well with seismic and magnetic data. This would imply temperatures that would be relatively close to melting at depths of around 300 km. | [

75,608,757 | Minguel Rod | Miguel Manoel Rodrigues (c. 1924 – 5 October 1955), known professionally as Minguel Rod or M. Rod., was a Goan singer, composer, playwright, and actor known for his work in tiatr productions. One of the greatest composers of the Konkani stage, he was a leading figure in the golden phase of tiatr from the 1940s to the mid-1950s, alongside Konkani actor C. Alvares. Throughout his career, he composed over 300 kantaram and wrote 32 tiatrs, many of which were well-received and popular among his audience.
Minguel Rodrigues, was born as Miguel Manoel Rodrigues in c. 1924, to Manoel Rodrigues and Dominica Vicente, he hailed from a financially disadvantaged family in the village of Cortalim, located in the southern region of Goa. Rodrigues embarked on a career as a playwright, staging his tiatrs, in a neighbor's verandah, using improvised curtains made from bed sheets. Initially, his productions catered to a local audience, presenting shorter tiatrs within his native village.
Rodrigues ventured into creating longer dramas aimed at larger crowds. However, in his eagerness to showcase his work, he overlooked the requisite procedure of obtaining a performance license from the government authorities. The Portuguese administration, under whose colonial rule Goa remained at the time, became aware of this transgression and endeavored to apprehend Rodrigues. However, the young Rodrigues managed to evade capture by fleeing Goa and finding refuge in the city of Bombay (now Mumbai).
During his stay in Bombay, Rodrigues actively searched for opportunities to establish himself as an actor in tiatrs. However, his endeavors met with limited success, leaving him disappointed. Undeterred, he even ventured into producing his own short play, but failed to gain recognition or advancement in his career. Despite the challenges he faced, Rodrigues did manage to secure a chance to demonstrate his singing skills in a tiatr directed by Anthony De Sa. Unfortunately, this opportunity did not lead to any significant breakthroughs or new avenues for his professional growth.
However, Rodrigues' fortunes began to change when he received news that the Portuguese regime, which had been keeping an eye on him, was no longer pursuing him. This development provided him with a glimmer of hope and motivated him to make a discreet return to his homeland in 1943, coinciding with Joao Agostinho Fernandes' plans to present the tiatr production titled Bebdo (Drunkard) in Mapuça, featuring an ensemble cast.
Upon learning of Rodrigues' return to Goa, Fernandes extended an invitation for him to showcase his singing talent in his tiatr. It was the production titled Bebdo that served as Rodrigues' much-awaited breakthrough. His vocal performance in the play left a lasting impression on the audience, leading Fernandes to promptly recommend him to Souza Ferrao. Ferrao, who was organizing his own tiatr called Xetkampti (Farmer), saw the potential in Rodrigues and eagerly included him in the cast. One of Rodrigues' solo kunbi songs, "Naum Minguelll", emerged as the standout piece in Xetkampti and garnered significant acclaim. Subsequently, numerous offers began to pour in, with Bombay-based contractors vying to secure Rodrigues for their upcoming shows. Capitalizing on his newfound popularity, Rodrigues ventured into writing his own tiatrs.
In 1945, Rodrigues unveiled his first full-length tiatr, Duddvancho Fors (Power of Wealth), which enjoyed immediate success. Contractors quickly recognized that Rodrigues' tiatrs not only delivered an entertaining experience but also tackled profound themes and showcased beautiful singing in each act. Rodrigues was diligent in ensuring that his productions featured three songs: a regular solo, a comic solo, and a duet or trio performance with his colleagues. Moreover, Rodrigues' regular appearances on All India Radio further elevated his stature, and his songs gained widespread popularity through HMV Records. Among his notable renditions are "Burgueponn", "Tarvotti", and "Dotik Rodditat", which have achieved enduring status as beloved classics.
Rodrigues struggled with alcoholism, and he died due to it on 4 October 1955, at the age of 31 at his residence in Cortalim, Goa.
The death of Rodrigues had a profound impact on the Konkani community, particularly in Colonial Goa. The official radio station of Goa, Emisora de Goa (now All India Radio of Prasar Bharati), dedicated a significant portion of their broadcast to provide a live commentary on the funeral procession. This commentary was delivered by Allen Costa, who also paid homage to Rodrigues by playing his songs for a continuous duration of two hours. Such a tribute was a rare honor bestowed upon a tiatrist (a performer in the traditional Goan theatre form known as tiatr).
In 1976, Richard Fernandes undertook an endeavor to revive the artistic legacy of Rodrigues who had passed away two decades prior. Fernandes assumed the roles of director and producer to bring Rodrigues' tiatr, titled Irmanv-achem Cazar (Brother's Wedding), back to life. This theatrical production was meticulously organized, weighing the various factors involved, such as its strengths, weaknesses, and overall satisfaction of the director and actors. The tiatr resonated well with the audience, instilling confidence in Fernandes and prompting him to continue the tradition. The following year, Fernandes directed and produced another tiatr written by Rodrigues, titled Ghorachem Kestaum, further contributing to the preservation of Rodrigues' artistic legacy.
During this period, a significant community of Goan expatriates who had migrated from East Africa had settled in Canada. The performances of the aforementioned tiatrs deeply resonated their hearts. Inspired by the success of Rodrigues' works, individuals such as Frank D'Souza, Margaret D'Souza, Delphine D'Souza, Braz D'Cruz, Frank Fernandes, and Zulema D'Souza joined forces with Richard Fernandes to establish a theatrical group known as The Goan Theatrical Group (GTG). Margaret D'Souza took on the responsibility of scripting the performances in English, which were then translated into Konkani to cater to the Konkani-speaking community residing in Toronto, Canada. The GTG embarked on a journey, creating and presenting their own theatrical productions for nearly two decades.
Among the productions presented by The Goan Theatrical Group were: Alzirachem Sopon (1978), produced by Lina Remedios, Divors Matarponnar (1980), directed by Frank De Souza, Tegui Bailo (Three Women) (1981), directed by Frank De Souza, Kalljidar Bhoinn (Brave Sister) (1982), directed by Frank De Souza, Peleachi Nosai (1983), directed by Errol Francis, Gupit Mog (Secret Love) (1984), translated by Lynn Souza Marques and written and directed by Margaret De Souza, Atancho Teomp (1986), directed by Margaret De Souza, Konn Mhozo Pai (Who Is My Father) (1987), translated by Maggie Francis and written and directed by Margaret De Souza, Ojeapanchi Bhett (Surprising Sacrifice) (1988), translated by Frank De Souza and written and directed by Margaret De Souza, Rateor (1990), translated by Frank De Souza and written and directed by Margaret De Souza, Doria Amchem Noxib (1995), translated by Maggie Francis and written and directed by Margaret De Souza.
Rodrigues's tiatrs played a significant role in fostering the tiatr culture within the Canadian community. Similarly to Goa, the tiatr activities in Canada came to a halt due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as of August 2022, the Konkani-speaking diaspora anticipates the revival of tiatr performances now that the restrictions imposed in the aftermath of the pandemic have been lifted. | [

Among his notable renditions are \"Burgueponn\", \"Tarvotti\", and \"Dotik Rodditat\", which have achieved enduring status as beloved classics.",

The official radio station of Goa, Emisora de Goa (now All India Radio of Prasar Bharati), dedicated a significant portion of their broadcast to provide a live commentary on the funeral procession. This commentary was delivered by Allen Costa, who also paid homage to Rodrigues by playing his songs for a continuous duration of two hours. Such a tribute was a rare honor bestowed upon a tiatrist (a performer in the traditional Goan theatre form known as tiatr).",

Fernandes assumed the roles of director and producer to bring Rodrigues' tiatr, titled Irmanv-achem Cazar (Brother's Wedding), back to life. This theatrical production was meticulously organized, weighing the various factors involved, such as its strengths, weaknesses, and overall satisfaction of the director and actors. The tiatr resonated well with the audience, instilling confidence in Fernandes and prompting him to continue the tradition. The following year, Fernandes directed and produced another tiatr written by Rodrigues, titled Ghorachem Kestaum, further contributing to the preservation of Rodrigues' artistic legacy.",

Margaret D'Souza took on the responsibility of scripting the performances in English, which were then translated into Konkani to cater to the Konkani-speaking community residing in Toronto, Canada. The GTG embarked on a journey, creating and presenting their own theatrical productions for nearly two decades.",

75,608,813 | Nymphaea pedersenii | Nymphaea pedersenii is a species of waterlily native to Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, and Uruguay.
Nymphaea pedersenii has ovoid to subglobose tubers. The broadly elliptic leaf blade is up to 31 cm long and 22 cm wide. The coriaceous blade of the floating leaves is connected to non-brittle, brownish, glabrescent, 7.1−10 mm wide petioles with a ring of trichomes at the apex. It has two primary central air and six secondary peripheral air canals. The leaf venation is actinodromous.
The nocturnal flowers float on the water surface. The syncarpous gynoecium consists of approximately 39 carpels with clavate, cream-coloured, curved, 1.2−1.8 cm long and 2−4 mm wide appendages. The globose apex shows rosy colouration. The ellipsoid, granulose, pilose seeds have trichomes arranged in continuous longitudinal lines.
The diploid chromosome count is 2n = 18.
In Argentina, the main mode of reproduction relies on stolon formation. Proliferating pseudanthia are absent.
This species is not autogamous and outcrossing is obligatory. Flowering occurs throughout the year.
It was first described by Wiersema in 1987 as Nymphaea amazonum subsp. pedersenii, but later it was elevated to a separate species Nymphaea pedersenii by C.T.Lima and Ana Maria Giulietti in 2021.
The type specimen was collected by Wiersema, Vanni and Schinini in a lagoon in Itatí, Corrientes, Argentina on the 15th of April 1982.
It is placed in Nymphaea subgenus Hydrocallis.
The specific epithet pedersenii honours Troels Myndel Pedersen.
In Brazil, it was observed in a stream with up to 3 m depth in the state Pará and in permanent or temporary lagoons in the Pantanal. In Argentina, it was observed growing in a lagoon.
It is pollinated by the beetle species Cyclocephala mollis. Beetles have been found trapped within the flowers. | [

75,608,942 | Sing and Dance With Barney | Sing & Dance With Barney is a 1999 family-musical direct-to-video movie that was released on January 12, 1999. Directed by Steven Feldman and written by Mark S. Bernthal, this video commemorated the tenth anniversary of Barney. This was the first Barney video to involve a cast reunion.
The kids get a mysterious invitation for a party. All of the children get together and gather in the treehouse as directed by the invitations they received. As the kids gather inside the treehouse, Barney springs to life, delighted and happy to see all of his friends. Barney hints that they'll be seeing more friends as the day goes on. Eventually, BJ and Baby Bop join the gang as they received invitations as well. Barney makes it known that they've all arrived at his "Super-Dee-Duper Sing-Along", decorating the treehouse in balloons and streamers and eventually providing snacks. Barney makes it known that the sing-along will be filled with more surprises. Eventually, the gang gets surprised by the sound of a cow and they arrive at Grandpa's Farm. After their trip at the farm, they arrive back at the treehouse to be surprised by more of Barney's friends (Tosha, Michael and Kathy). They explain that they've been friends with Barney for a long time, since they were children, showcasing old pictures with them. As BJ, Baby Bop and the children head to get snacks, the older crowd thanks Barney for inviting them to the party and recall some memories they with him, further emphasizing that they can always count on him. Given that he has so many friends who can count on him, Barney makes the point that his friends are just like his family.
Eventually, while carrying balloons, BJ runs into Linda, Danny and Kim. He explains that there's a sing-along occurring in the treehouse. Seeing that BJ lost his balloons, it reminds the gang of an airplane flying in the sky, in which they eventually pretend to be in one. Eventually, the gang runs into Baby Bop who's using her blankey for her toys. She explains the various other uses she has for her blankey and eventually sings about her love for it.
Linda, Danny and Kim arrive in the treehouse and thank Barney for inviting them. He introduces the three to Michael, Tosha and Kathy. Linda wonders if they've played any games yet, prompting them to sing and play along to "The Clapping Song". Danny soon wonders what's next to do, prompting Barney to reveal that more surprises are in store. Kim whispers to Barney of her suggestion and gives Linda and Danny a hint of her suggestion, Danny fails to guess correctly when he said go hiking so Kim gives them another hint. Linda succeeds when she guesses that their going camping, Linda, Danny and Kim head down to the school's playground to see a tent, with BJ and Baby Bop in front of it. Everyone heads inside the tent and is lead into Barney's Fun-tastic Forest. It eventually turns into nighttime and Barney and a few others go to look at the stars. Kathy finds Linda alone near the tent wondering as to why she didn't go with the others. Holding her teddy bear, she explains that she's afraid of the dark. Kathy explains that she felt the same way and explains that her teddy bear made her feel safe when she was little too. At another area in the forest, Barney, Tosha, Robert and Hannah look at the moon and stars.
After their camping trip, Stephen wonders what other surprises Barney has left for them. Barney's older friends decide to surprise Barney with the arrival of Min and Jason. The gang recalls more memories as they look at old photos. Min shows everyone a book she enjoyed reading when she was younger, which has a picture of a castle on it. It reminds her of the time that Barney took her, Derek, Michael, and Tina to see a real castle. Robert asks Barney if he could take them to see a castle now, prompting some of Barney's old and new friends to be in Storybook Land, a magical place where fairy tales become reality (complete with a castle). Later, Kim, Jeff, Linda and Hannah arrive in Storybook Land and are amazed that they are dressed like the people who live in castles. Baby Bop and BJ show off that they're pretending to be a queen and Old King Cole respectively to Barney. Baby Bop eventually sees a book with candy on the cover, Linda thought the story was candy, then thunder comes and it's a story of rain, prompting everyone to imagine that it's raining candy. After the pretend rain stops, they see a rainbow. Back in the treehouse, Barney tells everyone (including the viewer) that they're special and they tell him the same and that he can count on them. Barney thanks his friends for making it a special day for him. While the children express they're favorite parts of the day, Barney tells them that the best part was spending time with his friends. Then confetti comes down and the party continues.

75,609,080 | Thomas Heslop Hill | Thomas Heslop Hill (20 October 1850 – 8 November 1915), a British planter, was the most important coffee-planting pioneer in Malaya, and is also credited with being the first private individual there to plant Hevea rubber.
Hill was born on 20 October 1850, and was educated at Brighton College, England.
In 1868, he went to Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) to work as an assistant on a coffee plantation at Wanna Rajh, before moving to Dimbula to work for Lawrence St. George Carey, Ceylon's largest private estate owner, on his Agra Patnas, Aribica coffee estate. Later, he left to work on his own account in partnership with a J. D. Massey, a leading engineer, who purchased three coffee estates in Matale District. He also experimented with Liberian coffee, coconut and cardomans but was unsuccessful due to the climate being too dry. In the late 1870s, coffee estates in Ceylon were ravaged by leaf disease, and Hill and Massey were ruined.
In 1878, Hill left Ceylon to try his hand at coffee planting on the Malay Peninsula, arriving in Singapore and working with D.P. Brandt and Co., who had a Liberian coffee estate at Pulau Obin, an island situated off Singapore's north-eastern coast. By the late 1870s coffee planters from Ceylon had begun arriving and were beginning to open coffee estates in Malaya.
Whilst in Singapore, Hill became associated with a leading planter, Ambrose Rathbone, and together they decided to establish themselves in partnership as contractors building roads and railways throughout the peninsula. In this they were successful, constructing new, mainly cart roads in Perak, Selangor and Sungei Ujong, from Seremban to Kuala Lumpur, and on to Kuala Kangsar and Port Dickson. These basic roads later became the major roads of the Western States when they were eventually taken over by the Public Works Departments. After they were adopted, Hill's firm continued to maintain many of them under contract with the Government.
Hill's railway building operations were less successful. Around 1886, he undertook the construction of the Sungei Ujong railway in association with A.A. Swan, Engineer, but it was never completed due to unhealthy local conditions and labour disputes.
Large-scale coffee planting began to established in Malaya around the end of the 1870s, and Hill has been recognised as the most important coffee-planting pioneer in Malaya. However, it was his road building work which subsequently enabled him to launch his coffee-planting business in 1879. His success in that field was acknowledged by Frank Swettenham, Governor of the Straits Settlements, "Hill was a road maker, and as such helped the beginning of the States enormously".
As a reward for his pioneering work in road building, the Government granted Hill the right to take up free concessions of land in Perak, Selangor and Sungei Ujong, rent free, for the cultivation of coffee. Hill soon established new estates, first in 1879, with Liberian coffee in Sugei Ujong at the Linsum Estate at Rantau, and with Arabica coffee at Bukit Berimbum, which were the first coffee estates to be established in their respective states. 1879 also saw the opening of the first coffee estate in Perak. These were followed by the opening of new Liberian coffee estates by Hill at Weld Hill (1881) and Batu Caves (1884), Selangor.
However, the boom in the coffee industry ended in the 1890s when there was a severe slump in coffee prices, and Hill, who had lost large sums on his unsuccessful railway construction project, was forced to sell his coffee estates to pay his debts to the banks ending his involvement with coffee which had lasted almost thirty years.
In the late 1890s, in an effort to restore his fortunes, he began to plant rubber. He had first experimented with cultivation around 1883 when he started 2,000 plants which had been raised at the Government gardens at Kuala Kangsar by Hugh Low from seeds which had been obtained by Henry Whickham from Brazil and propagated at Kew, London. As a result, Hill is credited as the first private individual to plant Hevea rubber on the Malay Peninsula. In 1898, he went into a partnership arrangement with the Government growing rubber at Seremban with convict labour.
In 1901, whilst his rubber business continued at Seremban, Hill joined the Malay Civil Service in the newly created post of Protector of Labour and Superintendent of Immigrants, at Sungei Ujong, handling Tamil immigration matters, and establishing Tamil agricultural communities in the Federated Malay States. His efforts contributed to the steady increase in the number of Tamil migrants from India who came to work on the rubber estates.
In 1907, Hill retired, selling his rubber business and returned to Hampshire, England where he died on 8 November 1915, aged 65. He was survived by his wife, Helen Eveleen Mabel, sister of his business partner Ambrose Rathbone, whom he married in 1888, and by his only child, a daughter. | [

75,609,086 | Educational crisis in Ethiopia since 2020 | Although the Ethiopian education system historically was in a state of crisis for a long time, a major educational setback has been documented by numerous sources since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and civil conflict in the country.
Like other poor African countries, the education quality of Ethiopia saw a large decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as due to civil war in the country. During the Tigray War, eight thousands schools have been damaged, looted and destroyed since 2021, restricting the right of children to access education. Data from December 2022 indicated that 3.5 million children (50% of which are girls) do not access free education due to war and climate change. Moreover, as many as 2.3 million school-aged children and 1.7 million children are not attending school in Tigray as a result of loss of infrastructure. According to the 2022 UNICEF report, about 3.1 to 3.6 million children are out of school, one of the largest educational crises in the world.
The Ethiopian education has been improving over the past decade, with nearly 30 million students entering primary and secondary education and over 130,000 students entering higher education. Policy experts, researchers and longtime observers believed that the current crisis can lead to problems beyond individual student performance.
Since 2021, the Ethiopian National Exam quality was under the worsened condition, where 97% students failed to pass the grade 12 exams known as "entrance exam". In October 2023, the Minister of Education Berhanu Nega disclosed the catastrophic failure of student in national exam. 43% of students reported that they have failed to pass the grade 12 secondary school exams in the 2022/23 school year and 96% of students scored less than 50%. Only 3.3% of students who took exam in 2022 scored 50% and above, which was the minimum requirement of to enroll in higher education. Similarly, only 3.2% (845,099 students) achieved the score in 2023. | [

75,609,088 | Section 831(b) | Internal Revenue Code (I.R.C.) Section 831(b) is a U.S. tax law that provides specific tax benefits to certain small insurance companies, often referred to as "micro-captives". Established to encourage the formation of small insurance companies, it offers an alternative risk-management solution that can supplement or even replace traditional insurance coverage.
A micro-captive insurance company, as it pertains to Section 831(b), is a captive insurance company – an insurance company entirely owned and operated by the insured – that has elected to pay taxes only on its investment income. In other words, the micro-captive's underwriting income – the difference between earned premiums and incurred losses – is exempt from federal income tax. As of 2020, to qualify for 831(b) status, the insurance company's written premium income must not exceed $2.3 million in a given year, a threshold that is indexed for inflation.
The liability insurance crisis of the 1980s was a watershed moment in the U.S. insurance industry, marked by a sharp rise in the cost of liability insurance and the widespread unavailability of certain types of coverage. The crisis affected numerous sectors, from construction and daycare centers, to municipal governments and non-profit organizations.
Beginning in the mid-1980s, this period was driven by a rapid rise in both liability claim frequency and severity. Insurers, confronted with escalating costs and risk exposures, responded by substantially increasing premiums. In some cases, insurers stopped offering certain types of liability coverage entirely.
The crisis led to substantial reforms, including the passage of the Tax Reform Act of 1986 which introduced Section 831(b). At the state level, many states implemented tort reform measures aimed at limiting liability and damages. These reforms, coupled with the introduction of Section 831(b), provided some relief and led to the growth of the captive insurance industry.
The Tax Reform Act of 1986 is regarded as one of the most significant pieces of tax legislation in the history of the United States. President Ronald Reagan signed the Act into law with the goal of simplifying the tax code and expanding the tax base while also ending a variety of tax shelters and preferences. This was a significant step that helped to bring more fairness to the tax code. Notably, under this legislation the top marginal individual income tax rate was reduced from 50% to 28%, the lowest it had been since 1916.
A key aspect of this Act was the introduction of Section 831(b), which specifically pertained to the taxation of certain small insurance companies, also known as "micro-captives". Prior to the Act, insurance companies were taxed on their income in a very similar manner as other corporations. However, Section 831(b) changed this by allowing small insurance companies with annual premiums of $1.2 million or less (a figure that has since been adjusted for inflation) to opt for an alternative tax calculation.
The introduction of Section 831(b) in the Tax Reform Act of 1986 has had far-reaching impacts on the insurance industry, leading to a rise in the formation of micro-captive insurance companies and providing a tax-advantaged strategy for businesses to manage a broad array of risks.
The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015, commonly known as the PATH Act, was a significant piece of tax legislation in the United States. The act was designed to provide tax relief for families and businesses, and it made several tax provisions permanent.
One of the changes implemented by the PATH Act was an amendment to Section 831(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. This amendment, which took effect in 2017, was aimed at enhancing and modernizing the micro-captive insurance industry.
The PATH Act increased the annual premium limit for qualifying small insurance companies from $1.2 million to $2.2 million, adjusting for inflation. This increase in the cap allowed small insurance companies to write more business and still qualify for the benefits provided under Section 831(b), therefore providing more flexibility and adaptability for businesses leveraging captive insurance structures.
In addition to the premium limit increase, the PATH Act introduced diversification requirements to Section 831(b) to prevent abuses of micro-captives for estate planning purposes. These new rules, often referred to as the "ownership test" and the "risk distribution test," ensure that the ownership of a captive insurance company does not disproportionately benefit any single party and that risk is adequately distributed.
Overall the PATH Act has had a significant impact on the 831(b) tax code, modernizing it to better suit the evolving needs of small businesses and bolster the integrity of micro-captive arrangements. These changes have further incentivized the use of micro-captives as a strategic risk management tool while also introducing safeguards to prevent misuse.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) publishes an annual "Dirty Dozen" list to alert taxpayers to common scams and schemes that could lead to tax fraud or other illegal activities. This list, typically released during tax season, identifies a variety of common scams, such as phishing, false tax returns, and tax preparer fraud.
The Dirty Dozen list also frequently includes more complex tax structures that the IRS believes are being abused. One such structure that has repeatedly made the list in recent years is the micro-captive insurance company operating under Section 831(b) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Micro-captives are included on this list because the IRS has identified some cases where they have been used for purposes other than genuine risk management. Some businesses have allegedly used them to attempt to circumvent tax laws and shelter income. In these cases, the IRS alleges that the insurance contracts don't represent a valid risk transfer and that the premiums charged are unreasonably high compared to the risk insured, making the arrangement seem more like a disguised way to distribute profits rather than a legitimate insurance setup.
It's important to note that the inclusion of micro-captives on the Dirty Dozen list does not mean that all micro-captives are illegitimate. Many businesses use micro-captives in compliance with the law as a valuable tool for risk management. However, the IRS scrutiny highlights the need for proper setup and operation of these entities, including meeting risk distribution and risk transfer criteria, and setting premiums through a formal underwriting process.
Any business considering forming a micro-captive, or any that currently operates one, should work with knowledgeable professionals to ensure compliance with the law. If the IRS determines that a micro-captive is not operating in compliance with the rules of Section 831(b), the tax benefits could be denied, and substantial penalties could be imposed.
IRS Notice 2016–66, issued in November 2016, designated certain micro-captive transactions as "Transactions of Interest," signaling increased scrutiny of these arrangements by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The notice was in response to the perceived misuse of micro-captive insurance companies to avoid tax obligations.
In general a Transaction of Interest is a type of reportable transaction that the IRS believes has the potential for tax avoidance or evasion, but for which it lacks enough information to specifically label as a tax avoidance transaction.
With Notice 2016–66, the IRS was particularly interested in micro-captive insurance companies that made an election under Section 831(b) to be taxed only on investment income and where the liabilities for insured losses and claim administration expenses were less than 70% of the earned premiums, or where the captive made certain ceding payments to other entities.
The immediate impact of this notice on the micro-captive industry was significant:
Increased Reporting Requirements The parties involved in these micro-captive transactions are required to disclose their participation to the IRS. Material advisors, such as those who provide tax advice or assistance in relation to these transactions, are also required to keep lists of clients involved in these transactions.
Potential Penalties Failure to disclose these transactions could result in significant penalties. For businesses, the penalty could be up to 75% of the decrease in tax as a result of the transaction, with a minimum penalty of $5,000 for individuals and $10,000 for entities.
Increased Scrutiny Notice 2016–66 indicated that the IRS would be closely examining these transactions. This increased the likelihood of audits for businesses involved in micro-captive transactions and could result in challenges to the claimed tax benefits.
Re-evaluation of Micro-captive Strategies As a result of the notice, many businesses re-evaluated their micro-captive strategies to ensure compliance with IRS requirements and the proper operation of their insurance companies.
Despite the increased scrutiny and reporting requirements, micro-captives continue to be used as effective risk management tools for many businesses. However, the notice underscores the importance of operating these entities in a manner consistent with insurance industry standards and in compliance with the tax code.
In response to IRS Notice 2016–66, CIC Services, LLC, a firm that assists with the formation and management of captive insurance companies, filed a lawsuit against the IRS and the United States Department of the Treasury seeking to prohibit enforcement of the notice. The company argued that the notice imposed significant reporting requirements and potential penalties without providing an opportunity for public comment and review.
Initially the U.S. District Court and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against CIC Services, citing the Anti-Injunction Act, which generally prohibits lawsuits to restrain the assessment or collection of taxes.
But CIC Services appealed the decision to the Supreme Court of the United States. In May 2021, in the case CIC Services, LLC v. Internal Revenue Service, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of CIC Services in a 9–0 decision, determining that the Anti-Injunction Act did not bar the company's suit.
The Supreme Court's decision did not immediately nullify Notice 2016–66 but allowed CIC Services to proceed with its case against the IRS on the grounds that the IRS had violated the Administrative Procedure Act by not providing a notice and comment period before issuing Notice 2016–66.
Following the Supreme Court's ruling, the case was remanded back to the district court. In December 2021 the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee ruled in favor of CIC Services, finding that the IRS had indeed violated the Administrative Procedure Act in issuing Notice 2016–66 without a notice and comment period. The court therefore vacated Notice 2016–66.
An IRS soft letter is a type of communication used by the Internal Revenue Service to inform taxpayers about changes in tax law, suggest changes to their tax reporting, provide information on their reported tax items, or identify areas where it sees potential non-compliance. Unlike a formal audit letter, a soft letter is not a binding legal demand, but rather an advisory or informational notice.
Soft letters can also serve as an indirect audit tool. They may not assert tax liability, but they signal to the recipient that the IRS is closely watching the issue at hand and might take more serious steps, such as an audit, if the perceived non-compliance continues.
In the spring of 2020 the IRS sent soft letters to numerous taxpayers who participate in micro-captive insurance transactions, specifically those operating under Section 831(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. These letters (specifically Letter 6336) were sent to taxpayers suspected of participating in captive insurance arrangements that the IRS views as potentially abusive.
The soft letters urged taxpayers involved in these transactions to reassess their position with the micro-captive insurance structure, especially in light of adverse court decisions against certain micro-captive arrangements, and to consult independent tax advisors. The IRS letter suggested taxpayers consider whether it was appropriate to continue claiming tax benefits associated with the captive insurance arrangement and recommended that taxpayers may want to amend prior year tax returns if their position was inconsistent with recent court decisions.
The timing of the IRS soft letter (Letter 6336) in the Spring of 2020 coincided with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, which created an extremely challenging environment for businesses, including those involved with 831(b) micro-captives. Many of these businesses were dealing with a surge in claims related to the pandemic and disruptions to their operations, all while grappling with the implications of the IRS's scrutiny.
In early 2021 the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued a settlement offer for taxpayers under audit who participated in micro-captive insurance transactions, specifically those operating under Section 831(b) of the Internal Revenue Code. This came after the IRS's success in several U.S. Tax Court cases challenging these types of transactions.
This standard settlement offer represented the IRS's latest approach to resolving ongoing audits of micro-captive insurance transactions. The terms of the offer reflected the IRS's view that a significant number of these transactions had not complied with federal tax laws. It aimed to expedite resolution and limit further administrative and legal costs for both the IRS and taxpayers.
On April 10, 2023 the U.S. Treasury Department announced new proposed rules on micro-captive insurance. Under the draft rules, certain micro-captive transactions have been identified as listed transactions or transactions of interest under the relevant disclosure rules.
The new micro-captive insurance rules were published as a response to the agency's loss in the case of CIC Services, LLC v. IRS. In this case, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee threw out the previously published IRS Notice 2016–66. The court found that the IRS had failed to comply with the Administrative Procedure Act when publishing the notice. | [

] | Internal Revenue Code (I.R.C.) Section 831(b) is a U.S. tax law that provides specific tax benefits to certain small insurance companies, often referred to as "micro-captives". Established to encourage the formation of small insurance companies, it offers an alternative risk-management solution that can supplement or even replace traditional insurance coverage. A micro-captive insurance company, as it pertains to Section 831(b), is a captive insurance company – an insurance company entirely owned and operated by the insured – that has elected to pay taxes only on its investment income. In other words, the micro-captive's underwriting income – the difference between earned premiums and incurred losses – is exempt from federal income tax. As of 2020, to qualify for 831(b) status, the insurance company's written premium income must not exceed $2.3 million in a given year, a threshold that is indexed for inflation. | 2023-12-20T14:48:39Z | 2023-12-31T22:49:01Z | [

75,609,091 | Back on Track (Arthur Adams album) | Back on Track is an album by the American musician Arthur Adams, released in 1999. It was his first album in 20 years. Adams supported Back on Track with an international tour.
The album was produced by Adams, who also cowrote or wrote the majority of the songs. B. B. King played guitar and sang on "The Long Haul" and "Get You Next to Me"; at the time, Adams was the bandleader at King's Los Angeles club. "Rehabilitation Song" recounts Adams's time in a halfway house.
The CMJ New Music Report wrote that "Adams's soulful tenor and crisp guitar solos soar passionately." The Commercial Appeal determined that, "when Adams solos on guitar, his sophisticated, jazzy tone looks equally to Little Milton and B. B. King." The Telegraph-Journal said that "Adams has a honey voice, and comes up with lots of up-tempo soul stirrers."
The Gazette praised "his soulful, gospel-tinged vocals and rocking blues band sound highlighted by his always-fluid electric guitar solos." The Santa Cruz Sentinel noted the soulful vocals and liquidly blues guitar." The Asbury Park Press listed Back on Track among the 10 best blues albums of 2000.
AllMusic wrote that Adams's "vocalizing has a sweet, soulful quality ala Robert Cray or at times Bobby Bland... And his electric six string takes definite cues from his idol, B. B. King." The Penguin Guide to Blues Recordings admired the "intelligent, adult themes." | [

75,609,097 | Impacts of shipping on marine wildlife and habitats in Southeast Asia | Southeast Asia is home to a diverse marine environment. The region is host to extensive coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds, and has even been described as the Amazon rainforest of the ocean. The region is estimated to contain approximately 35% of the world’s mangrove species and over 45% of the world’s seagrass species.. The shipping industry has multiple damaging impacts on marine habitats and wildlife, such as pollution from port actives, oil spills ballast and bilge discharge, waste dumping from ships and direct physical impact from grounding and anchor damage.
Southeast Asia is defined to include countries such as Brunei, Cambodia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste, and Vietnam. It is positioned at the crossroads of the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, and the South China Sea. The region, characterized by extensive coastlines and numerous islands, is a global biodiversity hotspot with significant marine resources, including a large proportion of the world's reefs and mangroves . However, it faces critical challenges due to pollution resulting from rapid urbanization, industrialization, deforestation, and intensive farming and aquaculture activities. , and the rapidly growing shipping industry. Southeast Asia is a busy transportation corridor, that Is likely to get busier especially as The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is rolled out Impacts of the shipping industry include physical changes to marine habitats from anchoring, mooring and vessel grounding, the use of antifouling, operational and accidental discharges (ballast and bilge water, hydrocarbons, waste, and sewage) and wildlife collisions . Overall, evidence shows the shipping industry has detrimental impacts to ecosystems and biodiversity in the Southeast Asian region . Global advocacy is intensifying for the implementation of stricter regulatory measures within the shipping industry , aimed at safeguarding endangered species and preserving vital wildlife habitats.
Economic progress in the 20th and 21st centuries in Pacific Asia has coincided with a notable increase in container port traffic, leading to the establishment of a significant maritime trade route and its associated links. Southeast Asia, strategically located along major global shipping routes, is a pivotal hub in global maritime trade. The region is home to some of the world's busiest ports and shipping lanes. The main shipping routes in this region include The Strait of Malacca, The Singapore Straight, The South China Sea Routes, The Sunda Strait and the Lombok Strait . These routes are frequented by a multitude of vessels, connecting the bustling ports of Singapore, Port Klang in Malaysia, and the Port of Tanjung Pelepas, also in Malaysia, which are among the busiest in the world . Singapore's ports, in particular, stand out as a global leader in container throughput and transhipment activities. Major shipping companies like CMA CGM Asia Pacific Limited of Singapore and Evergreen Marine from Taiwan have a significant presence in the region. With the growth of seaborne trade, Southeast Asia's share of world trade has significantly increased, and eight of the top ten global container ports are located in this region . Southeast Asia is China’s largest trade partner . Looking to the future the shipping industry is predicted to grow in the region
The shipping industry can be harmful to marine habitats by causing disturbances from anchoring and mooring activities, which causes seabed scouring and damage to benthic habitats, including seagrass meadows and coral reefs.. Vessel groundings can cause significant damage to coral reefs and soft bottom habitats, altering community structure and hydrodynamics The construction of shipping ports also has a number of negative impacts on marine wildlife . Coastal mangroves are often damaged in the construction of shipping ports . This is significant as these areas provide nurseries for marine fish and other species This has greatly affected waterbirds around the Manila port in the Philippines. A recent Waterbird Census in Manila Bay revealed a decline of more than 20% in waterbird populations since 2017. This census documented around 117,000 waterbirds, encompassing 62 species; These species are heavily dependent on wetlands for their survival. The primary causes for this decline are habitat loss and degradation due to land reclamation and commercial shipping activities. Key habitats such as sandbars and intertidal mudflats are diminishing around Manilla Bay, largely due to the issuance of permits for land reclamation and commercial dredging, which deteriorates waterbird habitat . Marine mammal habitats have been subject to degradation in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand. It has been estimated that the Philippines has lost about 30-50% of its seagrass habitat in recent decades due to a combination of natural and man-made threats, of which shipping is a considerable one. The Vietnamese coastlines have seen a serious decline in the volume and quality of sea grass beds in recent years.
Another significant impact is noise pollution from shipping traffic, which interferes with the communication and navigation of marine mammals like whales and dolphins, potentially leading to disorientation and increased stress levels.. The noise interference can lead to behavioural changes, such as altered migration patterns, reduced mating success, and impaired feeding habits . These disruptions can have large effects on the marine ecosystem, affecting predator-prey dynamics and overall biodiversity. Additionally, noise pollution can cause chronic stress in marine animals, leading to weakened immune systems and increased vulnerability to disease . In regions like the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca, some of the world's busiest shipping lanes, the intensity of these impacts is heightened. Low-frequency sounds from shipping vessels interfere with the communication and navigation abilities of marine mammals, particularly cetaceans like whales and dolphins, who rely on echolocation for finding food, navigating, and social interaction. In areas with high shipping traffic, there is a marked increase in stress-related behaviour among these species, leading to altered feeding patterns and migration routes. Southeast Asian waters are home to a plethora of marine mammals, including dolphins, porpoises, killer whales, sperm whales, blue whales, sea lions and seals, all of which are at risk from the impacts of noise pollution
Collisions between shipping vessels and marine mammals in Southeast Asia have become an increasingly concerning issue, with empirical data underscoring the gravity of the situation. Vessel collisions pose hazards to aquatic vertebrates like turtles, dolphins, whales, and manatees . Studies reveal that large whales, including the endangered blue and humpback whales, are particularly at risk. Data from maritime reports and stranding networks indicate a rising trend in ship strikes, with several cases of whales found with propeller scars or blunt force injuries consistent with vessel collisions. In 2023, an autopsy of a stranded whale along the coast of Thailand revealed evidence of blunt force trauma and deep propeller cuts, confirming encounters with large vessels. The dense marine traffic, combined with the presence of important feeding and breeding grounds for these mammals, creates a dangerous environment. It has been reported that there has been an increase in ship strikes over the past decade in Southeast Asia . A report of the Third South East Asian Marine Mammal Symposium (SEAMAM),stated that boat strikes from commercial shipping represent a significant risk to snubfin Dolphins and Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins in Malaysia . Moreover, it has been highlighted that in areas around Indonesia and the Philippines, collisions are often underreported due to a lack of awareness and reporting infrastructure . A crucial aspect of this issue is the migratory patterns of these marine mammals, which often intersect with shipping routes. The "Southeast Asian Marine Mammal Stranding Network" (SEAMMSN) in its annual report, noted that migration routes of blue whales and other large cetaceans coincide with some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world . This overlap significantly increases the likelihood of collisions. Conservationists and marine biologists are pushing for enhanced monitoring systems, such as acoustic monitoring and satellite tracking, to better understand and mitigate collision risks . They also advocate for the establishment of mandatory reporting for vessel collisions with wildlife and the development of alternative shipping routes that avoid key marine mammal habitats . Efforts to mitigate these risks have been proposed, including the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs), rerouting of shipping lanes, and implementing ship speed restrictions in areas of high cetacean activity
The shipping industry is a source of chemical pollution, including oil spills and toxic antifouling paints, which harm marine life through direct toxicity and the accumulation of pollutants in the food chain. Shipping vessel-related greenhouse gas emissions primarily come from internal combustion engines. The emissions include CO2, SOX, and NOX, contributing significantly to global anthropogenic emissions.. East Asia has experienced the fastest growth in shipping emissions, both CO2 and traditional air pollutants. The region's shipping emissions accounted for 16% of global shipping CO2 in 2013 . GHGs from vessel operations, such as propulsion and refrigeration, can lead to decreased air and water quality, impacts on aquatic species, and climate alteration
Shipping vessels also contribute to marine pollution through discarded items, leading to ingestion and entanglement hazards for aquatic wildlife. Plastics, in particular, pose a significant threat due to their complex chemical composition and persistence in the environment. Antifouling Agents (AF) are applied to vessel hulls to prevent organism settlement and include various biocides like copper, TBT, and Irgarol 1051 these agents can impact water column and benthic biota due to their toxicity . Current alternative AF agents, such as algaecides and copper-based coatings, have been found to accumulate in the marine environment, causing toxic effects against non-target species. These agents can have devastating effects on ecosystems and marine biodiversity, especially through fisheries in the region.
Structural failures, leaks, and discharges from shipping vessels introduce hydrocarbons into aquatic environments They contain toxic substances like monocyclic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can be lethal to aquatic organisms and lead to long-term carcinogenic impacts. Crude oil and refined petroleum products contain toxic substances that can be lethal to various aquatic organisms and affect their behaviour and reproduction. Oil spills in Southeast Asia have significant impacts on marine wildlife and habitats. A notable example is the sinking of the oil tanker MT Princess Empress in February 2023 in the Philippines' Verde Island Passage, spilling 800,000 litres of industrial oil. This disaster occurred in one of the world's most important biodiversity hotspots, affecting a critical waterway and the surrounding environment.
In terms of regulation, Southeast Asian nations, through the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and other regional bodies, have been involved in discussions to mitigate the impact of shipping on the marine environment. However, the implementation and enforcement of international maritime laws and conventions, such as the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) guidelines for the reduction of underwater noise for example, are challenging. Compliance varies among countries due to differences in domestic priorities, economic considerations, and capacities for enforcement. The Marine Environment Protection of the South-East Asian Seas (MEPSEAS) project is a key initiative aimed at building capacity in developing countries to ratify and implement various International Maritime Organization (IMO) conventions. These conventions include the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships (AFS Convention), the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention), and several annexes of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). The ASEAN Maritime Transport Working Group (MTWG) and other regional partnerships, like Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) and the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (TMOU), collaborate to enhance the implementation of these conventions.
Increased marine traffic in the Southeast Asian region is likely to raise risks to endangered and sensitive ecosystems.. Looking to the future there is a need for comprehensive strategies to control pollution, including education and policy changes and integrating marine pollution concerns into existing conservation strategies. to help mitigate the negative impacts of the shipping industry on marine life around Southeast Asian. There is a need for the participation of governments and international organisations, such as the UN to help protect marine wildlife and ecosystems from the negative impacts of the shipping industry | [

"text": "Collisions between shipping vessels and marine mammals in Southeast Asia have become an increasingly concerning issue, with empirical data underscoring the gravity of the situation. Vessel collisions pose hazards to aquatic vertebrates like turtles, dolphins, whales, and manatees . Studies reveal that large whales, including the endangered blue and humpback whales, are particularly at risk. Data from maritime reports and stranding networks indicate a rising trend in ship strikes, with several cases of whales found with propeller scars or blunt force injuries consistent with vessel collisions. In 2023, an autopsy of a stranded whale along the coast of Thailand revealed evidence of blunt force trauma and deep propeller cuts, confirming encounters with large vessels. The dense marine traffic, combined with the presence of important feeding and breeding grounds for these mammals, creates a dangerous environment. It has been reported that there has been an increase in ship strikes over the past decade in Southeast Asia . A report of the Third South East Asian Marine Mammal Symposium (SEAMAM),stated that boat strikes from commercial shipping represent a significant risk to snubfin Dolphins and Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins in Malaysia . Moreover, it has been highlighted that in areas around Indonesia and the Philippines, collisions are often underreported due to a lack of awareness and reporting infrastructure . A crucial aspect of this issue is the migratory patterns of these marine mammals, which often intersect with shipping routes. The \"Southeast Asian Marine Mammal Stranding Network\" (SEAMMSN) in its annual report, noted that migration routes of blue whales and other large cetaceans coincide with some of the busiest shipping lanes in the world . This overlap significantly increases the likelihood of collisions. Conservationists and marine biologists are pushing for enhanced monitoring systems, such as acoustic monitoring and satellite tracking, to better understand and mitigate collision risks . They also advocate for the establishment of mandatory reporting for vessel collisions with wildlife and the development of alternative shipping routes that avoid key marine mammal habitats . Efforts to mitigate these risks have been proposed, including the establishment of marine protected areas (MPAs), rerouting of shipping lanes, and implementing ship speed restrictions in areas of high cetacean activity",

"text": "The shipping industry is a source of chemical pollution, including oil spills and toxic antifouling paints, which harm marine life through direct toxicity and the accumulation of pollutants in the food chain. Shipping vessel-related greenhouse gas emissions primarily come from internal combustion engines. The emissions include CO2, SOX, and NOX, contributing significantly to global anthropogenic emissions.. East Asia has experienced the fastest growth in shipping emissions, both CO2 and traditional air pollutants. The region's shipping emissions accounted for 16% of global shipping CO2 in 2013 . GHGs from vessel operations, such as propulsion and refrigeration, can lead to decreased air and water quality, impacts on aquatic species, and climate alteration",

"text": "Shipping vessels also contribute to marine pollution through discarded items, leading to ingestion and entanglement hazards for aquatic wildlife. Plastics, in particular, pose a significant threat due to their complex chemical composition and persistence in the environment. Antifouling Agents (AF) are applied to vessel hulls to prevent organism settlement and include various biocides like copper, TBT, and Irgarol 1051 these agents can impact water column and benthic biota due to their toxicity . Current alternative AF agents, such as algaecides and copper-based coatings, have been found to accumulate in the marine environment, causing toxic effects against non-target species. These agents can have devastating effects on ecosystems and marine biodiversity, especially through fisheries in the region.",

"text": "Structural failures, leaks, and discharges from shipping vessels introduce hydrocarbons into aquatic environments They contain toxic substances like monocyclic and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), which can be lethal to aquatic organisms and lead to long-term carcinogenic impacts. Crude oil and refined petroleum products contain toxic substances that can be lethal to various aquatic organisms and affect their behaviour and reproduction. Oil spills in Southeast Asia have significant impacts on marine wildlife and habitats. A notable example is the sinking of the oil tanker MT Princess Empress in February 2023 in the Philippines' Verde Island Passage, spilling 800,000 litres of industrial oil. This disaster occurred in one of the world's most important biodiversity hotspots, affecting a critical waterway and the surrounding environment.",

"text": "In terms of regulation, Southeast Asian nations, through the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and other regional bodies, have been involved in discussions to mitigate the impact of shipping on the marine environment. However, the implementation and enforcement of international maritime laws and conventions, such as the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) guidelines for the reduction of underwater noise for example, are challenging. Compliance varies among countries due to differences in domestic priorities, economic considerations, and capacities for enforcement. The Marine Environment Protection of the South-East Asian Seas (MEPSEAS) project is a key initiative aimed at building capacity in developing countries to ratify and implement various International Maritime Organization (IMO) conventions. These conventions include the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships (AFS Convention), the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships' Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention), and several annexes of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL). The ASEAN Maritime Transport Working Group (MTWG) and other regional partnerships, like Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) and the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding (TMOU), collaborate to enhance the implementation of these conventions.",

Looking to the future there is a need for comprehensive strategies to control pollution, including education and policy changes and integrating marine pollution concerns into existing conservation strategies. to help mitigate the negative impacts of the shipping industry on marine life around Southeast Asian. There is a need for the participation of governments and international organisations, such as the UN to help protect marine wildlife and ecosystems from the negative impacts of the shipping industry",

] | Southeast Asia is home to a diverse marine environment. The region is host to extensive coral reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds, and has even been described as the Amazon rainforest of the ocean. The region is estimated to contain approximately 35% of the world’s mangrove species and over 45% of the world’s seagrass species.. The shipping industry has multiple damaging impacts on marine habitats and wildlife, such as pollution from port actives, oil spills ballast and bilge discharge, waste dumping from ships and direct physical impact from grounding and anchor damage. | 2023-12-20T14:50:14Z | 2023-12-28T05:31:29Z | [

75,609,115 | IK Waxholm | IK Waxholm is a Swedish ice hockey club based in the city of Vaxholm
Founded in 1993, Waxholm initially played in Hockeytrean, which was then the 4th-level of professional hockey in Sweden. In its 5th season, the team was able to earn a promotion to Hockeytvåan. Two years later, Swedish hockey had a league realignment and Waxholm was moved to Division 1, though they still remained a 3rd-tier club. In 2002, after posting a deplorable 1–13 record, the team was dropped back to Hockeytrean which had become a 5th-tier league in the interim. Waxholm sunk even further when they were relegated to Division 4 (6th-tier) in 2006 and, though they briefly recovered, the club remained there for over a decade. In 2018, Waxholm earned a promotion back to Hockeytrean and nearly earned another promotion in 2023.
