75,650,260 | Edna Lillian Nelson | Edna Lillian Nelson, born Edna Lillian Smith (1896–1948) was an Australian medical practitioner. She specialised in venereal diseases in the women's hospital in Sydney.
Nelson was born in Candelo in New South Wales in 1896. Her English immigrant parents were Lillian (born Cordingly) and Wright Smith. She was their fifth child. Her father was a teacher and she attended Sydney Girls' High School where she excelled at botany and English. She went on to study medicine at the University of Sydney graduating with a first class degree and a prize reserved for women candidates.
She and her husband moved to Kalgoorlie in Western Australia after they married in 1924.
In 1936 she returned to Sydney where became the director of their venereal diseases department at the Rachel Forster Hospital. The clinic had been founded by Elsie Dalyell and Marie Montgomerie Hamilton in 1927. She left for further post-grad study in Europe in 1939. She managed to visit Copnhagen, Stockholm, Edinburgh and London but she soon returned because of the war. She made the decision that from then she wanted to work on a part-time basis. In 1943 she became a consultant. The changes required by the war were an opportunity for her. She had her own practise and in 1941 she started to treat skin diseases and in 1943 she became the leading physician for this speciality.
In 1941 the future prime minister Ben Chifley received a united peputation from a number of women's organisations. They were encouraging him to create a tax on men who were not married. This suggestion was made in preference to a proposal to introduce a new tax on the total income of married couples. The delegation was by Jessie Street, Vivienne Newson, Erna Keighley and Nelson.
In 1942 she had made the comment that men returning from the middle east to Australia were infecting women with sexually transnitted diseases. She was treating women with these diseases. The Daily examiner reported an "Army spokesman" who said that there was "no evidence" and he assured the paper that the arny took the greatest care to prevent men becoming infected. The story in the press was titled "Not Supported".
Nelson died in 1948 in Sydney Hospital. She was survived by her husband, William Thomas Nelson, and their four sons. | [

75,650,310 | Zirid Capture of Palermo (1036) | The capture of Palermo by the Zirids in 1036 marked a pivotal moment, establishing their suzerainty over the island. This clash unfolded between the Kalbid Emir Ahmad ben Yousouf Al Akhal, the reigning sovereign of the island, and the forces dispatched by the Zirid Emir Al Muiz Ibn Badis. This event transpired within the backdrop of the Kalbid dynasty's decline, plagued by repeated setbacks in their encounters with the Byzantines.
The Kalbid power in Sicily increasingly faces challenges and internal divisions following its failures against the Byzantines in Calabria. The Zirid ruler, Al Muiz, closely monitors this former Fatimid possession, harboring aspirations to replicate the achievements of the Aghlabids and conquer it. Towards the end of Badis' reign (around 1014-1015), Gafar, the son of the Kalbid Emir Yusuf, reportedly deported all the Berbers on the island to Ifriqiya, suspecting their support for a deposed claimant named Ali. In the aftermath of a rebellion erupting in Palermo in 1019, Yusuf and his son Gafar flee to Egypt, relinquishing control of Sicily to the hands of Emir Ahmad ben Yousouf, known as "Al Akhal." Al Akhal successfully counteracts Christian incursions, eventually securing recognition of his authority from all the fortresses in Sicily. Despite attempting to align with the Sicilians against the Africans, this strategy fails, prompting him to adopt the opposite approach. The "Africans" agree to support him in exchange for tax exemptions, infuriating the Sicilians. They approach Al Muiz, urging his intervention, threatening to surrender their island to the Christians if he does not intervene.
Following this initiative, which took place during the Hijri year 427, spanning from November 5, 1035, to October 24, 1036, the Zirids launch an expedition comprising 3,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry, including reinforcements of Sanhadja Hammadid troops. Al Muiz entrusts the leadership of the campaign to his son, Abdallah, who triumphs, enters Palermo, and besieges Al Akhal in his palace at Al Halisa. Betrayed by pro-Zirid Sicilians, Al Akhal meets his demise, and his head is sent to Al Muiz.
Within a span of a few years, if not mere months, the island's inhabitants plot against the Zirids, sparking a revolt that inflicts losses amounting to 300 men on the Zirid contingent. Faced with this upheaval, the Zirids are compelled to withdraw to Ifriqiya, leaving the island in a state of anarchy.
Subsequent to an attempted Kalbid restoration, the island descends into an era of fragmented lordships or "caïdats." | [

75,650,438 | Mouse Trap (1986 video game) | Mouse Trap is a platform video game written by Dave Mann (using the pseudonym Chris Robson) and published by Tynesoft in 1986 for the Acorn Electron and BBC Micro home computers. A year later the game was ported to other home computers such as Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, Amiga and Commodore 64.
In the game, the player takes on the role of a mouse named Marvin, who must complete 21 stages fraught with traps to reach a piece of cheese. The player must collect all the items (varying from cakes to balloons) from the level within a certain time, which will open an exit to which they must go to complete the level. Along the way, the player must avoid contact with moving (and stationary) objects (except platforms and elevators) and falling from too high a height, resulting in loss of life and restarting the level.
The in-game music is Golliwogg's Cakewalk from Children's Corner Suite, composed by Claude Debussy.
Mouse Trap received very mixed reviews. In the review for Aktueller Software Markt, Michael Kohl found the game's graphics "colorful and pretty to look at". He concluded his review by recommending Mouse Trap to every Amiga user. Raze magazine reviewer stated that the game featured "dated graphics and poor sound" and gave the game a rating of 37%. | [

75,650,444 | Sol Kreiner | Sol Kreiner is a retired South African politician that served as Mayor of Cape Town between 1983-1985. At the time of his inauguration, he was the city's second-youngest mayor. His late brother, Louis Kreiner (1928-1994) also served as Mayor of Cape Town between 1979-1981.
He was born and raised Grabouw in the Cape Province in a Jewish family in Cape Town. His late grandfather, Eliezer had been a rabbi in Poland. His father Chaim was deeply involved in the local Jewish community in Grabouw and held Shabbat services at the family home for the seven other Jewish families living in the town. Kreiner is fluent in Afrikaans from having attended an Afrikaans-language school, he also attended Herzlia as a boarder, a Jewish school in Cape Town. Prior to his entry into politics, he was the owner and director of a textile distribution company.
He entered political life in 1976 as a ward councilor for Cape Town's Ward 8, where he represented Woodstock, District Six, Walmer Estate and Salt River.
During his political career in Cape Town he was very involved in the urban renewal of run-down areas of the city. In 1983 he succeeded in convincing the national government to provide low-interest loans to homeowners to improve their homes. Prior to becoming Mayor of Cape Town, he served as Deputy Mayor. A year into his mayoral term in 1984, he told The New York Times that Cape Town was more racially inclusive than the country at large: "We as a Council have never erected an apartheid notice board... Our position is that all our amenities are open to all people." Kreiner had previously appealed for Woodstock Hospital to retain it's access to all races.
After his mayoral term he attended several tours of the United States on behalf of the South African government, where he spoke to Jewish audiences about political reforms that were underway in apartheid-era South Africa.
He is married to Brenda Shap and they have three children together; Howard, Steven and Caryn. He has since emigrated to the United States with his wife, and they live in Chicago. | [

75,650,448 | 2023 Plateau State massacres | The 2023 Plateau State massacres were a series of armed attacks occurring between 23–25 December 2023 in Plateau State in central Nigeria. They impacted at least 17 rural communities in the Nigerian local government areas of Bokkos and Barkin Ladi, resulting in at least 200 deaths and injuries to more than 500 people, as well as significant property damage. Although no group claimed responsibility for the attacks, they are believed to have been committed by Fulani militias.
Plateau State is in Nigeria's Middle Belt and has a history of ethnic and religious conflicts, mainly between Muslim Fulani herders and Christian farmers. The bandit conflict began in 2011 as a result of disagreements over land ownership and grazing rights between the herders and farmers. Banditry and insecurity are exacerbated by Nigeria's high fertility rate (5.3 as of 2023), with the large youth population suffering from unemployment and underemployment that makes them susceptible to radicalism and banditry. Climate change and the expansion of agriculture also lead to increased conflict. Previous attacks occurred in the region in April 2022 and May 2023.
Miyetti Allah (MACBAN), an advocacy group for Fulani interests, accused state security personnel of colluding with farmers to attack Fulani herders. Muhammed Nuru Abdullahi, the state chairman of the MACBAN, claimed the violence began with a failed act of "cattle rustling" against Fulani on 23 December, where three cattle breeders were killed and the theft of 181 cows was attempted, and that 130 houses were burned in several Fulani villages on 24 December. He recommended that "in order to end the incessant clashes between farmers and herders, the Federal Government should establish ranches in Plateau State and other states of the Federation for animal husbandry."
At least 17 rural communities in the regions of Bokkos and Barkin Ladi were attacked on 23 and 24 December, leaving at least 200 people dead and over 500 wounded. The attackers, who used guns and machetes, burned houses and other property. No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks. Since 2014, attacks on Hausa farmers in the region have been blamed on "semi-nomadic Fulani herders" who have "long complained that farmers are taking over grazing lands crucial to their survival".
The Nigerian Army began "clearance operations" to find suspects in the attacks afterwards. Some victims reported that it took more than twelve hours for the security forces to respond after the attacks.
The attacks prompted outrage, with residents demanding justice and government protection. Governor Caleb Mutfwang condemned the violence. His response faced criticism, and Amnesty International called for an independent investigation. The international community, including the United Nations, African Union, European Union, and the United States, expressed condemnation and offered support.
After the attacks, photos of the 2022 Owo church attack circulated on social media with miscaptioned labels suggesting they were from the massacres in Plateau State. | [

75,650,483 | Bayesian persuasion | Bayesian persuasion is a kind of mechanism design setting. One person (called the "sender") wants to persuade another person (the "receiver") to do a certain action that is beneficial for the sender, by sending a certain signal about the state of the world. The receiver is assumed to be rational and to follow the Bayes' rule when revising his belief about the state of the world. The model was introduced by Kamenica and Gentzkow.
Kamenica and Gentzkow use the following example. The sender is a medicine company, and the receiver is the regulator. The company produces a new medicine, and needs the approval of the regulator. There are two possible states of the world: the medicine can be either "good" or "bad". The company and the regulator do not know the true state. However, the company can run an experiment and report the results to the regulator. The question is what experiment should it run in order to get the best outcome? The assumptions are:
For the sake of example, suppose the prior probability that the medicine is good is 1/3. Consider the following three options for the company:
In this case, the optimal policy for the sender is policy 3. Using the Bayes rule, the sender has managed to persuade the receiver to act in a favorable way for the sender.
Camara, Hartline and Johnsen extend the model by removing the assumption that the sender and receiver have a common prior on the state of the world. | [

The Quicksilver Gondola is a gondola located in Park City, Utah. Constructed by Doppelmayr in 2015, the gondola carries eight people per cabin and has a length of roughly 1.5 miles. It was part of a $50 million dollar expansion program that merged the once-separate Park City Mountain and Canyons Resorts under Vail Resorts. The merger made Park City the largest lift-service ski resort in the United States.
Before 2015, Park City Mountain Resort and the Canyons Resort were separate, with Powdr Corporation and Vail Resorts owning the two resorts respectively. However, after Powdr failing to renew its lease on Park City Mountain and a legal battle with Vail and Talisker Corporation (The entity that owned the land that Park City Mountain was operating on), Vail acquired Park City Mountain for $182.5 million dollars. The company then developed plans for a $50 million dollar renovation project of Park City Mountain, that, among other upgrades would merge Park City Mountain and the Canyons via the Quicksilver Gondola. After construction by Doppelmayr completed in 2015, Park City transformed into the largest lift-serviced ski resort in the United States. | [

75,650,613 | World Anti-Imperialist Platform | The World Anti-imperialist Platform (WAP) is an international anti-imperialist organization launched on October 14, 2022. Its main objective is to coordinate efforts against imperialism, focusing particularly on current geopolitical conflicts such as the Russo-Ukrainian War and potential conflicts involving China and Taiwan, and North Korea and South Korea.
WAP was founded in 2022 with the belief that Russia and China are not imperialist powers. They view these countries as not engaged in wars of dominance or colonization, and see the 2022 Russo-Ukrainian conflict as a proxy war against Russia by imperialist powers. WAP's stance sets it apart from groups like the Communist Party of Greece and European Communist Action, as well as most parties in the International Meeting of Communist and Workers' Parties (IMCWP), which have characterized the war as "interimperialist". On October 14, 2022, WAP launched its program with the Paris Declaration, signed initially by 8 parties. This declaration represents the platform's foundational beliefs and goals. In 2023, WAP hosted the antiwar conference with the São Paulo Forum in Caracas and organized a mass demonstration. They also held the Seoul International Conference in South Korea, where the Seoul Declaration was read, highlighting concerns about the rising tide of global war in East Asia.
On October 14, 2022, the platform launched its program, known as the Paris Declaration. On this date, the declaration was signed by 25 parties.
On March 4, 2023, the platform hosted an antiwar conference with the São Paulo Forum. A mass demonstration was organized by the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, and simultaneous demonstrations took place around the world.
On May 15, 2023, the platform held the Seoul International Conference in South Korea. The Seoul Declaration, concerning the rising tide of global war in east Asia, was read by Joti Brar, vice-chair of the Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist) (CPGB-ML) and spokesperson for the platform. The third congress of the People's Democracy Party was held at the same time, receiving greetings from the Russian Communist Workers’ Party, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela, and the CPGB-ML.
Some Marxist-Leninist critics argue that WAP lacks a Leninist understanding of imperialism. They accuse WAP of being selective in its anti-imperialist stance, focusing more on the form rather than the nature of imperialism. Critics also point out that WAP views the primary contradiction in the world today as being between the US-led NATO and humanity, ignoring the class struggle and contradictions within capitalist systems.
Other problematic issues, according to comrade Ivan Pinheiro, former General Secretary of the Brazilian Communist Party (PCB), are:
As can be seen from the list of organizations participating in the platform, not only the parties of this revolutionary camp are missing from [the platform], nor do the overwhelming majority of the parties that make up the International Communist Movement, including those that, despite our differences, deserve respect for their trajectories and the political weight they still enjoy in their respective countries. There are parties that only attended one of the first meetings, probably to find out about it, and never returned. In our country, apart from the PCB, the only other party that has participated in the WAP is the PCdoB.
By the way, the evidence that all the airfare and accommodation costs of the delegates from the organizations attending these meetings are fully covered by their main stakeholders and the frenetic pace of a world event on average every two months, on different continents, should serve as food for thought and study as to what the primary reason is for the creation and financing of this platform, which is oriented against Marxism-Leninism and in uncritical and unrestricted defense of the strategic interests of powers competing for world hegemony in the imperialist chain, of which they are a part.
Another aspect that needs to be considered is the risk that the initiative to create this eclectic platform could consolidate into a kind of anti-imperialist international (selective and, as we have seen, not so much anti-capitalist), which could end up resulting in a split in the International Communist Movement. | [

75,650,620 | David Polus | David ben Yisrael Moshe Polus (1893 – January 5, 1975) was an Israeli sculptor who wandered between from town to town in the land of Israel, and resided wherever he sculpted.
Polus grew up in Warsaw, the capital of Poland. According to Alkhani and Friedlander, in his youth in Warsaw, he was a diligent yeshiva student, deeply engaged in studying Talmudic pages. In the yeshiva, he used to decorate the hall in honor of completing a tractate of the Talmud, and from there, his inclination for sculpture emerged. He immigrated to the Land of Israel during the Fourth Aliya on the ship "Romania" as a pioneer in August 1924. In a poem he wrote in Yiddish in the 1920s, he stated, among other things: "A pioneer arose and ascended... Talent is your property."
Polus was a member of the Labor Battalion and the excavation group of Yitzhak Sadeh. His first sculpture in the Land of Israel was unveiled while he was in the Labor Battalion in Migdal Tzedek: a bust of Aharon David Gordon. In February 1932, Paulus sent a proposal, published in the newspaper "Davar," to the management of the "Yerid Hamizrach" exhibition. According to the proposal, a sculpture competition would be announced, and the best works would be displayed in the exhibition, providing an incentive for artistic creation.
Polus used to wander throughout the country. He lived in various kibbutzim and sculpted in them in exchange for a livelihood only, without additional pay. This was the case in Ramat David, Tel Yosef, Beit Oren, and Ramat Rachel. According to a document in the state archives dated September 22, 1936, Polus, registered as a teacher, resided on Herzl Street in Tel Aviv (then the Mahlul neighborhood), near the Delphinar-Yochananoff Silk Weaving and Dyeing Factory. He had a shack where he used to isolate himself and plan new works. Later on, he moved to Jerusalem and lived in the last twenty years of his life in another shack, in the heart of the Jerusalem Forest near the Ein Kerem neighborhood.
In 1940 he sculpted the Alexander Zaid memorial near Beit Shearim.
Polus passed away, unmarried and childless in Jerusalem in 1975.
Several of his works were of the realist style. Among these there are visual motifs depicting the rise of the Jewish people in their land. Polus used locally available, relatively simple and inexpensive materials such as concrete, plaster on lattice, and iron rods. This led to increased decay in his sculptures, requiring constant maintenance. During his time, Polus reinforced them himself. Over the years, some have been renovated, while others have withstood the test of time.
Between 1967 and 1971, Polus corresponded extensively with the office of the then-President Zalman Shazar, hoping that it would assist him in his future artistic endeavors.

75,650,659 | Another Link in the Chain Tour | Another Link in the Chain Tour was a worldwide concert tour by the British-American pop rock band Fleetwood Mac. The tour began on July 4, 1994, in Austin, Texas, and ended on December 31, 1995, in Las Vegas.
The band played 110 shows in 5 countries around the world.
It was noted as the only tour to feature country vocalist Bekka Bramlett (daughter of Delaney and Bonnie) and former Traffic guitarist Dave Mason. It was also the final tour to feature guitarist Billy Burnette and the first, since 1970, not to feature vocalist/keyboardist Christine McVie, who had retired from live performing but did participate on the tour's associated album, Time.
Though the tour was associated with the Time album, it featured many of the band's 1970s songs such as "Go Your Own Way" and "Say You Love Me". In a review, Richard O. Jones wrote that "it was a good concert, and the new members adapted well to the old material, but it clearly wasn't the same." | [

75,650,661 | Tiger Harischandra Prasad | Tiger Harischandra Prasad is a 2003 Indian Telugu-language action drama film directed by V. Samudra starring Nandamuri Harikrishna and Ramya Krishna. The film is based on the problems of peasants.
The film received pre-release hype, but it was released to mixed reviews. This film marked Posani Krishna Murali's sixth collaboration with Nandamuri Harikrishna and their only unsuccessful film.
The film was produced by P. Naga Lakshmi, who previously produced Aadi (2002). In October 2003, the film was shot in Chilakaluripet, Guntur (at Jinnah Tower) and Narasaraopet. As of 24 November 2003, the shooting of the film was complete except for two songs.
The soundtrack was composed by S. A. Rajkumar.
Gudipoodi Srihari of The Hindu wrote that "Harikrishna gets a tailor made role well cut out for his style of acting, with rugged appeal. But some frivolous scenes including the comedy featuring Brahmanandam and Kovai Sarala, puts the film on a sidetrack". Jeevi of Idlebrain.com rated the film three out of five and wrote that "The last 20 minutes of the film is impressive. The rest of the film is narrated in old fashion. This film would take Hari Krishna close to the masses". In a negative review, a critic from Full Hyderabad wrote that "This might've as well been a B-grade Narayana Murthy revolutionary pain, but one doesn't associate pains with Ramya Krishna around. But that's the pain: she's hardly around. This seems like an emerging trend in Tollywood. Not Ramya Krishna's absence, but movies with social messages". | [

Alongside Richard Mays and William Townsend, he was the first African American to serve in the Arkansas Legislature since the Reconstruction era. His wife, Josetta Wilkins, and their son, Henry "Hank" Wilkins IV, also served as state legislators.
Wilkins was a professor of political science at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. Alongside lawyer Richard Mays and optometrist William Townsend, he was the first African American to serve in the Arkansas Legislature since the Reconstruction era. Wilkins was narrowly elected in 1972 to represent a Black-majority district of Jefferson County, Arkansas, in the Arkansas House of Representatives. Elected to ten consecutive terms, he served in the Arkansas House until his death in 1991. He also served as a delegate to the 1970 and the 1980 Arkansas Constitutional Conventions (he was the sole African American delegate to the 1970 convention) and co-founded the Arkansas Legislative Black Caucus in 1989. Wilkins and state senator Jerry Jewell were instrumental in the 1977 passage of legislation establishing a state civil rights commission.
Wilkins died from cancer on February 20, 1991. His wife, Josetta Wilkins, won a special election to fill the remainder of his term in the House. She was reelected four times. Their son, Henry "Hank" Wilkins IV, succeeded his mother in the House in 1999, serving a total of fourteen years in both houses of the Arkansas state legislature. Their daughter, Cassandra Wilkins, married Rodney E. Slater, who served as United States Secretary of Transportation under President Bill Clinton. | [

Nothing is known about Banning's early life in the Universal and Hammer Mummy films. In the Universal films, Steve had an older sister named Jane Banning and probably became an archaeologist in his early 20s and went on many famous expeditions as mentioned by Professor Andoheb in The Mummy's Hand, during those expeditions, he met and befriended fellow archaeologist Babe Jenson. After a while, he was suspended by the Scripps Museum and sent to Cairo, Egypt to search for Princess Ananka's tomb along with Babe. In the Hammer Mummy movies, Steve grew up having a cousin brother named Joseph Whemple, married an unnamed woman and had a son, John Banning, with her. After she died, Steve, Joseph & John went on an expedition to Cairo, Egypt in the year 1895 to find Princess Ananka's tomb where John sustained a leg injury.
In 1912, Banning and Babe are on an expedition in Cairo, Egypt, sent by the Scripps Museum to do so, at a town market, Steve finds a vase which had Princess Ananka's tomb written on it, he purchases the vase for 75 bucks, spending his last few cents on it and upsets Babe who had bought an Egyptian lucky charm doll for himself. The 2 take it to the local Cairo Museum where archaeologist Dr. Charles Petrie decides to join and create an expedition to the Hill of the 7 Jackals to search for Ananka's tomb, Steve and Babe also meet archaeologist and secret high priest Professor Andoheb who says that the vase was a total fake and breaks it purposefully but makes it accidental, saying that they wasted the money, also creating an enemy in Steve even though Dr. Petrie still decides to create and join the expedition with the 2 whilst Andoheb meets with his agent The Cairo Beggar who decides to assassinate the 2 for going to Ananka's tomb.
After that, Steve tries to find another member of the expedition who will pay the money to fund it and join them, however, he finds no luck as everybody he talks to with refuses to join the expedition or even pay money to fund it. Disappointed, him and Babe drown their sorrows in the hotel bar, in it, Babe decides to play magic games with a man, who is revealed to be famous magician Solvani who easily tricks him. After that, the 3 have a discussion at the restaurant table were Steve and Babe tell Solvani about the expedition, Solvani agrees to fund it, paying his money to them and agreeing to join the expedition, also revealing his real name to be Tim Sullivan from Brooklyn. Their conversation is cut short by Andoheb's agents led by the Beggar attacking the 3, Steve, Babe and Solvani manage to fight them and later escape the restaurant to their respective hotels. Later that night, Steve is brushing his teeth before going to bed, Babe meanwhile, is waiting outside talking to his new doll he named Poopsie until a knock comes on the door, Babe opens it and in comes Marta Sullivan/Solvani, the daughter of Solvani who points a gun at Babe because she thought that him and Steve robbed her and her father, Marta is then ready to shoot Babe until Steve takes the gun away from her from behind, hearing everything and introduces himself to her, she tells him and Babe that her and her father have no money now, that he gave their last few dollars to fund the expedition and tells them that she is going to join it along with her father to see if its an actual expedition, Steve tells her that the Cairo and Scripps Museum funded it before she leaves the room with Babe then telling Steve that now they have a "dame" in their expedition.
A few days later, Steve, Babe, Marta, Solvani and Dr. Petrie embark on the expedition to the Hill of the 7 Jackals were they meet their Egyptian guide Ali and their Egyptian companions. During the search, Babe accidentally blows up a few rocks using a dynamite which opens a secret cave there, the Egyptians refuse to go in, saying that it's cursed and run away from the expedition along with Ali, leaving the main 5 Americans to go inside the cave, watched upwards by Andoheb and the Cairo Beggar. They go into the cave and instead find the tombed coffin of Kharis lying inside, shocking them and scaring Marta because of the hideous way he looks. That night, Steve, Babe and Dr. Petrie examine Kharis with the latter adding that he is an example of a mummified Egyptian former high priest, Steve examines and explains the marks on his wrappings before leaving with Babe and outside, reuniting with Ali, before the 3 could talk further, a scream comes from inside the cave causing the 3 to run inside and find the dead body of Petrie along with noticing Kharis not being on the operating table anymore, concluding that he strangled Petrie to death and escaped.
At midnight, Marta and Steve examine the broken vase 1 more time and see what it actually means and where Ananka's tomb could be located, however, hope is lost as Babe explains that they had searched everywhere and failed to find any evidence of the tomb, leaving it behind, as midnight was still not over, Steve, Babe, Tim Sullivan and Marta are hanging outside their tents, asking each other what to do about the new news they had got until they suddenly hear a scream from Marta and Solvani's tent, the 4 go inside and saw the dead body of Ali, with the same strangle marks as Dr. Petrie, concluding that the now revived mummy of Kharis was killing off the expedition members. Steve still decides to search for Ananka's tomb with Babe and tells Marta to sleep in his tent tonight and go home with her father tomorrow morning and that he will return in a few days after finding the tomb. Marta agrees to and kisses Steve for the first time, signaling their romance to come. As the night passes, Steve and Babe are on the lookout for a mummy, Babe accidentally swallowing a rock along the way but spitting it out until suddenly, the 2 hear a sound from the tent and go inside, seeing Marta gone and Solvani injured and strangled, telling them that a mysterious intruder in bandages strangled him and took Marta to the caves, hearing this Steve and Babe start to rush to the caves to rescue Marta, noticing Kharis carrying her to the caves.
During the journey, the 2 are attacked by but kill the Cairo Beggar who tries to assassinate them before splitting up to go to different areas, Steve runs into the cave and passes through its many rooms before finally arriving at the main lair were Marta is tied up in, Steve sees Marta tied up, causing him to then attack an attacking Kharis who easily beats him twice, Marta tells him how to defeat him, Babe comes suddenly and shoots the container containing the tana leaves causing them to fall, Kharis gets down to get the leaves which then causes Steve to grab the container with fire and whack Kharis on the head with it knocking out and burning him to death before then reuniting with Marta and Babe. A few days later, Steve, Marta, Babe and Mr. Solvani are at the Cairo Bazaar were Steve gives back the now fixed vase to the shopkeeper, he finds another vase and tries to take it but Marta jokingly tells him to stop focusing on vases anymore and come with her and the others back to the states, ending with them going back to the states with the spoils of Ananka's tomb. After arriving at the states, Steve and Babe reunite with and Marta and Mr. Solvani meet Jane Banning, also during this time, Steve becomes rich and lives as a famous and wealthy archaeologist with Marta as his wife and Mr. Solvani as his father-in-law. Steve and Marta also have a son John Banning during this time. 1 day, Marta accidentally passes away from an unknown sickness and so does Mr. Solvani.
30 years later in 1942 in his Mapleton Mansion, Steve, Jane, John, John's fiancé Isobel Evans and Isobel's mother Ella Evans are talking at Steve's Mapleton mansion and house about the events in Egypt 30 years ago, Steve mentions the whole thing and says it's sad that Marta won't be able to see John and Isobel's wedding before jokingly mentioning another topic.
A few days later, Steve, Isobel, Jane and John are at the mansion playing a board game when they hear a sound outside, John goes outside to see who was it with Steve's servant and dog handler Jim whilst Steve goes to sleep upstairs in his room, however from the dark, Kharis the mummy appears in front of Steve and strangles him to death, his body is found by the others soon and a funeral in Mapleton is made for him in which Babe visits.
In 1895, Steve Banning in this universe, his son John Banning and his cousin, Joseph Whemple go to Cairo, Egypt for an expedition to Princess Ananka's tomb, during the expedition, John gets a leg injury and has to limp which causes Steve and Joseph to leave him at the tent and go to the tomb themselves. When they arrive there, Steve finds the Scroll of Thoth and reads it out aloud, causing the mummy Kharis to awaken from his sleep and walk away, Steve, after seeing Kharis, becomes hysterical and starts laughing madly, Joseph sees him and after finding the tombs and going back to the UK, him and John put Steve in a psych ward to better him with John visiting him for the next few months alongside his wife Isobel Banning. Steve also goes in a catatonic state during this time.
3 years later in 1898, John visits Steve 1 day at the psych ward were Steve suddenly snaps out of catatonia and tells John the story of Kharis and Ananka and warns him that the mummy of Kharis is going to come after them, John disbelieves this at first but later finds out that he was telling the truth. 1 night, Steve is sleeping in his room until suddenly Kharis bursts through his windows and after a chase, corners and strangles him to death.
Dick Foran's character of Steve Banning here of an adventurous archeologist fascinated with ancient artifacts served as partial inspiration for the later creation of Indiana Jones.
Universal Pictures released a comic in The Monsters of Filmland magazine which was a comic book adaptation of The Mummy's Hand and featured Banning made to look like Foran's character.
Steve Banning also inspired the character of Rick O'Connell in The Mummy film series from 1999 to 2008 portrayed by Brendan Fraser in the 3 movies as a treasure hunter and archaeologist in each one of them who grows rich in the later movies because of the artifacts he collects from Princess Anck-Su-Namun's tomb similar to Steve in The Mummy's Tomb and The Mummy's Hand. | [

75,650,738 | Shed Grace | Shed Grace is the second album by the collaborative free jazz trio Sticks and Stones, featuring saxophonist Matana Roberts, double bassist Josh Abrams, and drummer Chad Taylor. It was recorded during 2003, with no overdubs or edits, at Semaphore Recording in Chicago, Illinois, and was released in 2004 by the Thrill Jockey label. The music consists of original compositions by each player, plus three covers.
In a review for AllMusic, Sean Westergaard wrote: "This is a democratic band to be sure, but it is Matana Roberts' clear, pure tone on alto and clarinet, and unshakeable lyricism, that really stand out. With the recent passing of some of the AACM's old guard, it's good to see that the organization has some very talented young members to keep the flame lit. Well done."
Peter Marsh of the BBC stated: "it's clear from the outset that this is a band with a lot of playing under their belts... Roberts is a fluid, elegant player who rejects the star soloist approach of many a saxophonist faced with the trio format. Her empathy with Abrams and Taylor results in a genuine trio music."
Exclaim!'s John Goodman commented: "Each musician has an equal voice in the ensemble, which veers towards freedom while deferring to tradition... While the trio remain mostly inside the jazz tradition they bring in other frames of reference at every opportunity."
Writing for the CMJ New Music Report, Tad Hendrickson remarked: "it's obvious that the players have developed an often-gentle language of their own. No screeching or hyperbole - the acoustic band plays warm organic avant-garde that smolders with a moody yet outward-leaning vision."
David Adler of All About Jazz called the album a "fine set" "driven by free invention, filtered through democratic exchange," and stated that the musicians "speak the language of free jazz but contend with an array of influences." AAJ's Mark Corroto described the group as "the most patient young band playing music today," noting that "where others would wail and rip through the minimally free music they create, the patient S&S slowly develop their themes." He wrote: "They leave plenty of room in each of the tracks heard here for the flavor of each instrument and player to be heard, really heard. Nothing is rushed here."
In an article for Dusted Magazine, Derek Taylor commented: "This trio's handle is a fitting encapsulation of their materials and approach. Adopting what has become the most rudimentary and workaday configuration in creative improvised music... these three players still manage to create something fresh and personal."
JazzWord's Ken Waxman described the album as "a major step forward" and "a valuable listen to seek out," and stated that "Sticks & Stones has graduated to a higher plane after more than five years of apprenticeship."

75,650,756 | Polypodium interjectum | Polypodium interjectum is a species of fern.
A medium-sized, ladder-like fern possessing an oval outline (mostly 2-4 x as long as wide), widening toward or a little below the middle, with a truncated base abruptly transitioning to its stem, the base leaflets at maturity tending to be folded inwards.
Its preferred habitat is mild basic (to slightly acidic) in slight shade.
The fertile sori under the leaf are elliptic when very young, and tend to be bright yellow when mature but unopened.
Technically, sporangia can be scraped off from under the leaf, and under a 200x lens (or better) they on average have a small backbone (annulus) of 7-9 (4-13) thick-walled cells, with 2-3 basal cells that are much wider than the annulus, and no branched long hairs (paraphyses, 0.5-1.4 mm) intermingled.
Similar species include -
Most of Europe, far-Western Russia, Turkey and Iran. | [

75,650,770 | Richard Lee Bugbee | Richard Lee Bugbee (February 6, 1948 – October 15, 2023) was a Native American of the Payómkawichum (Luiseño) people and culture keeper and ethnobotany instructor in San Diego, California.
Bugbee attributes his love of plants to his cowboy grandfather, John Peters.
Bugbee attended five high schools as the family moved. Having never gotten a college degree, Bugbee took courses at Santa Monica, Grossmont, Cuyamaca, Mira Mesa, Palomar, Fresno City, and San Diego City Colleges.
As a young adult in the mid-1960s, he became a psychedelic light technician. This specialty led to numerous interactions with musicians including Janis Joplin, Alice Cooper, Canned Heat, and the Grateful Dead.
Starting in 2005, Bugbee began his academic career as an instructor of Kumeyaay Ethnobotany and Ethnoecology at Cuyamaca College through Kumeyaay and Cuyamaca Community Colleges. Jane Dumas assisted with the course until her death in 2014. For this class, Bugbee and Dumas wrote “Kumeyaay Ethnobotany Reader," a widely disseminated 92-page document of names, uses, and botanical characteristics of the most widely used plants. This work led Bugbee into being a consultant for published books on plant uses.
Bugbee also taught indigenous material cultures and traditional plant uses of southern California at many museums including the Oakland Museum of California and the Phoebe Hearst Museum at UC Berkeley, at botanical gardens, and on Indian reservations. He was an instructor for summer cultural programs for several Kumeyaay tribes and for Intertribal Youth/Native Like Water. His stated goal was to use indigenous knowledge to serve as a bridge that connects the wisdom of the Elders with today's youth.
As a museum curator and educator, Bugbee was Curator of the Kumeyaay Culture Exhibit at the Southern Indian Health Council (1994–2004), the Associate Director/Curator of the San Diego American Indian Culture Center & Museum, and the Indigenous Education Specialist for the San Diego Museum of Man/Us (1989–2005).
Bugbee was a member of the Native American Council for California State Parks (1991–1995), California Indian Basketweavers’ Association (CIBA), the Land Conservancy, and the Elder's Circle for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (2006–2008). A 2009 Alliance for California Traditional Arts (ACTA) fellowship created an opportunity for him to teach the traditional tribal sport of Waw’lish.
Being an important member of the indigenous community led to invitations to join the Board of Directors of organizations such as the Board of Indigenous Regeneration (Mata’Yuum). As a language advocate, Bugbee was chairman of the board of directors for the Advocates for Indigenous California Language Survival (AICLS) (2000–2023), where he was associate director and curator of the American Indian Culture Center and Museum in San Diego, as well as Director and Curator of the Kumeyaay Culture Center and exhibit at the Southern Indian Health Council.
Bugbee was the ethnobotanist for the Traditional Indian Health Program through Riverside-San Bernardino (Counties) Indian Health providing information on the interactions between traditional plant and pharmaceutical medicines. Most recently, Bugbee was chosen for the Elder's Indigenous Climate Fellow (2020–2021) for the San Diego Climate Science Alliance, where he provided guidance and direction for the Climate Science Alliance Tribal Working Group.
The important lesson he shared from Elder Jane Dumas involved proper behavior when picking plants. When you pick a plant “ask for permission, tell your intent for the plant, and say a prayer for the plant."
Bugbee had four children, Jason C. and Ginger Lee with his former wife, Carol Renn Bugbee, and Cheyenne and Heather C. with Kelly Ann Dewolf.
In 1980, he met Kumeyaay elder Jane Dumas, an ethnobotanist from Jamul Indian Village who was the daughter of famous Kumeyaay healer, Isobel Thing. Within two years, she had accepted Bugbee as her apprentice when he showed a true interest in healing plants.
From 1990 to 1992, he led a group of Native American dancers to Brisbane, Australia, forming the dance ensemble Mak’sho which included the Munajali Yogumbeh (Australian) and Te Ahwina (New Zealand) traditional people. He was adopted into a Maori family following this activity. | [

75,650,786 | Tom Cothran | Thomas Walter (Tom) Cothran (1947–1987) was an American musicologist and composer, notable for his professional collaboration and personal relationship with American conductor and composer Leonard Bernstein.
Tom Cothran was born in San Antonio to parents Walter M. and Betty (Nogle) Cothran. Walter was at the time a business equipment salesman. The family remained in Texas for some years, then moved to Pasadena, California, where Tom graduated from Pasadena High School in 1965. Cothran attended Northwestern University for two years, then transferred to UC Berkeley where he studied music and became interested in linguistics. Never graduating, he found employment at San Francisco radio station KKHI (then an all-classical format), rising to program director. Cothran met Bernstein at a party in 1971 and quickly found common interests with the composer/conductor. Bernstein introduced Cothran to acquaintances and friends within the former's social and professional orbit. Multiple sources report that the two became lovers.
Cothran assisted and advised Bernstein in small ways during the period of development of the latter's Mass (1971) and was a frequent house guest in the Bernstein houshold. The pair's romantic relationship was kept hidden. From 1972, he was employed by Bernstein's Amberson Enterprises as an assistant to the maestro, initially for the development of what became Bernstein's Harvard Norton Lectures. He relocated to Cambridge for this work. Regarding the Norton Lectures, critic Mark Swed credits Cothran as the source of their Chomskian approach and "practically their ghost writer", but reports that Cothran later characterized his own role as "preventing them from becoming even more embarrassing than they already were".
Cothran continued as an associate of Bernstein's during the period of development of the latter's failed musical, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue (1976), also studying piano informally under Harvard's Luise Vosgerchian. As widely reported, the hidden side of Bernstein's relationship with Cothran became untenable in 1976 when Felicia Bernstein insisted that it end. Instead, Bernstein announced publicly his intention to live as a gay man, and separated from his wife. Felicia and daughter Jamie Bernstein came to see Cothran as an immoral, or at least irresponsible, seducer, a perspective reflected in early biographies of the composer after his death.
Bernstein and Cothran lived together in venues including Paris and Palm Springs for about two years, during which Cothran participated in the development of Bernstein's Songfest, the two reportedly reading poetry to each other and selecting the poems that make up the piece, including some dealing with homosexuality. They collaborated on a never-completed opera based on Nabokov's Lolita, Cothran to provide the libretto. Their intimate relationship ended in 1977 with Bernstein's return to his marriage under tragic circumstances, as well documented. The two remained friends and confidants and exchanged letters.
Cothran traveled widely, including to Nepal and India, returning to the United States in 1981 with a rare lymphoma, later recognized as one of the earliest cases of AIDS. He moved to New York City and was active in AIDS hospice work until his own illness made this impossible. Peter Napolitano, a friend of Cothran's at this time, reported that Bernstein's organization paid for Cothran's living and medical expenses, and that Bernstein visited Cothran at his Christopher Street walk-up apartment four months before Cothran's death in 1987. A memorial event for Cothran was arranged by the Amberson organization. Music critic Swed points to Cothran's death as an influence on Bernstein's engagement in producing "Music for Life", a star-studded benefit for a leading New York AIDS organization at Carnegie Hall in November, 1987.
Cothran is played by Gideon Glick in Bradley Cooper's 2023 film Maestro. Glick, a self-identified gay actor, describes his sympathetic portrait of Cothran as possible with 2023's more "authentic and honest" perspective on mid-century gay culture. | [

75,650,799 | Edge Delta | Edge Delta is a SaaS-based observability and telemetry pipeline technology company headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Its software can be used for log management or to create observability pipelines.
Edge Delta was co-founded in 2018 by Ozan Unlu and Fatih Yildiz who met while working as developers at Microsoft. They had a shared belief that the way data was being managed – by collecting it into the cloud for processing – was inefficient and that data could be processed more quickly at the edge, in the context of its original environment.
In July 2019, Edge Delta raised $3 million from lead investors MaC Venture Capital and Amity Ventures.
In June 2021, they raised a $15 million Series A funding round led by Menlo Ventures.
In May 2022, Edge Delta raised $63 million Series B with Quiet Capital leading, and with BAM Elevate, Earlybird Digital East, Geodesic Capital, Kin Ventures, Cisco Investments, and ServiceNow, along with previous backers Menlo Ventures, MaC Venture Capital and Amity Ventures.
In November 2022, Edge Delta introduced its freemium version for individual DevOps and SRE teams to monitor and troubleshoot their logs in Kubernetes.
In June 2023, Edge Delta announced an observability pipelines product that automates processes from data collection, processing, and routing.
Edge Delta processes and analyzes log data at the source; as it's created, allowing you to stream optimized datasets to one or many downstream observability platforms. It detects patterns, incidents and outages, pinpoints and alerts on known and unknown behavior with machine learning technology.
The agent is deployed on the computing resources (e.g., server, virtual machine, Kubernetes cluster, etc.). It runs as an independent collector and also supports being co-deployed with other tools.
Edge Delta has more than 60 integrations and partnerships across analytics, alerting, and storage vendors including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Snowflake, Splunk and Datadog.
Edge Delta was recognized in the 2023 Gartner "Cool Vendors in Monitoring and Observability". | [

75,650,821 | Statue of Queen Victoria, Auckland | A statue of Queen Victoria was erected at Albert Park, Auckland in 1899. The second monument to Queen Victoria in New Zealand, the bronze statue was sculpted by British portrait sculptor Francis John Williamson, one of nine variants of his 1887 statue erected at the Royal College of Surgeons. Relatively small compared to other statues of Victoria in New Zealand, the statue was funded by public donations encouraged by Auckland politicians and the New Zealand Herald. The statue was a central point for various imperial and patriotic observances, such as Empire Day, which gradually declined over the twentieth century.
Queen Victoria was the monarch of the United Kingdom and the broader British Empire from 1837 to 1901. The earliest monument to Queen Victoria in New Zealand was a relatively obscure wooden bust of the queen erected in 1874 at the Māori village of Ohinemutu. Celebrations and increased popularity following her Golden Jubilee initiated a wave of public monuments to her across the Empire in the late 1800s, corresponding with a general international trend of nationalist sculpture and monument construction in the period.
Public meetings considering the creation of a local monument to the Queen Victoria held by the Auckland City Council in May 1897, prior to her Diamond Jubilee. Former Auckland City mayor John Upton was elected to chair early proceedings. Memorials considered included a children's hospital, nursing home, and institute for the blind. The City Council initially supported the construction of a memorial children's hospital, but this was heavily opposed by the New Zealand Herald, who proposed a statue to be constructed at Albert Park, the former location of the Albert Barracks, which had been demolished several decades prior to make way for Albert Park. The Herald proposed that the monument would distinguish the city from others in the colony and instill respect in future generations. A reader poll was held by the paper, with the largest share of roughly 2000 respondents voting in favor of the statue as opposed to other proposed memorials. A later public hearing supported the poll's findings.
Donation boxes for the statue's construction were placed around Auckland for the Diamond Jubilee on 22 June 1897, raising over £150 within two days. Due to heavy public involvement and contribution, the monument was nicknamed the "People's Statue." Applications came from various notable British sculptors to design the statue, as well as the New Zealander William Leslie Morison. Hamo Thornycroft and Francis John Williamson emerged as finalists by early 1898. Although Thornycroft was considered to have greater artistic prestige, photographs of Williamson's 1887 Victoria statue built for the Royal College of Surgeons impressed the memorial committee, especially due to the Prince of Wales' alleged praise for the sculpture as the "best portrait ever executed of his mother." The statue at Auckland was to be the second of nine variants of Williamson's statue, following a copy at Derry completed in 1898.
Officially commissioned in February 1898, the statue reached Auckland in January 1899. It was officially unveiled on Victoria's eightieth birthday, 24 May 1899. The statue's opening ceremony included speeches by members of the Waikato Māori and Governor Uchter Knox, as well as a gun salute by warships anchored in Freemans Bay.
A wrought-iron fence, originally surrounding the statue, was removed at an unknown date.
A local procession laid wreaths at the statue following Victoria's death in early 1901. The statue was the focus of various patriotic and imperial commemorations. Empire Day celebrations, presided over by the Governor of New Zealand, were held at the statue for much of the early twentieth century, but gradually declined following the end of the Second World War. Beginning under Edward VII's reign, the statue was frequently visited by parades celebrating the King's Birthday. The statue was also the site of annual reunions of Waikato War veterans of the 18th Royal Irish Regiment.
During the late 20th century, the statue was frequently targeted by protests due to associations with monarchy and colonialism. In 1971, a University of Auckland feminist student group held a mock funeral at the statue to commemorate the 78th anniversary of woman's suffrage, choosing the location due to Victoria's staunch opposition to female voting rights. Ngāhuia Te Awekotuku and members of the Gay Liberation Front held pride events at the statue in 1972 in the first public act of the New Zealand gay rights movement.
The monument features a roughly life-size Victoria styled after her Golden Jubilee portrait taken by Alexander Bassano, as well as on in-person sittings taken by Williamson. Measuring 180 cm in height (including the crown and bronze base), the statue sits atop a 270 cm granite pedestal, on which a dedication for the statue is engraved. Due to conservative artistic aims by its sculptor and relatively modest contributions from citizens, the Albert Park sculpture is very small in scale compared to succeeding statues of Victoria built after her death, as well as to contemporary monuments to Victoria found in Britain. | [

75,650,828 | Nymphaea atrans | Nymphaea atrans is a species of waterlily is endemic to Queensland, Australia.
Nymphaea atrans is a perennial plant with vertical, short, and swollen rhizomes. The leaf blades with toothed margins of 2mm long, regularly spaced teeth may reach 40 cm in width. The base of the petiole is winged.
The flowers may rise up to 40 cm above the water level. Over time, the colour of Nymphaea atrans flowers shifts from blue and white to a deep pink. Each flower has ca. 300 stamens with 14 mm long, cylindrical to membranous filaments. The anthers, typically featuring a small hooked apical appendage, can reach up to 10 mm in length.
The nuclear genome size is 1408.32 Mb, and the chromosome count is n = 42.The chloroplast genome is 160,990 bp long.
Flowering occurs from July to November.
Natural hybrids of Nymphaea atrans with Nymphaea immutabilis with reduced fertility have been reported from areas of sympatric occurrence. Apart from the reduced fertility, the hybrids can be identified through the lighter pink colouration of older flowers, as they do not darken to the darker shades found in Nymphaea atrans. It was reported that in one hybrid population most individuals do not exhibit the characteristic shift in floral colouration. Additionally, even those that do exhibit this characteristic shift do not reliably produce offspring with the same trait from seed.
It was first described by Surrey Wilfrid Laurance Jacobs in 1992.
The type specimen was collected by Surrey Wilfrid Laurance Jacobs and J. Clarkson along the Bathurst Bay road north of Wakooka in Queensland, Australia on the 31st of July 1987.
It is placed in Nymphaea subgenus Anecphya.
It is close to Nymphaea immutabilis. Despite morphological differences, a molecular study was unable to differentiate both species based on the nuclear marker ITS, as well as the chloroplast marker trnT-trnF.
The specific epithet atrans is derived from the Latin "atrans", meaning darkening, which references the shift of floral colouration from blue and white to a deep pink in ageing flowers.
The NCA status of Nymphaea atrans is Special Least Concern.
It occurs in the Cape York Peninsula of northern Queensland, Australia. It occurs in Billabongs, lakes, and former pastoral dams on floodplains.
Because of its outstanding, showy ornamental qualities, this species is grown in waterscape gardens globally and is well-suited for use as display plants in water gardens. It has been used in the creation of several new Nymphaea hybrids. | [

75,650,839 | Rub-A-Dub-Dub (novel) | Rub-A-Dub-Dub is a 2023 comic picaresque novel by Robert Wringham. The novel concerns a working-class, middleaged man who discovers self-care. It is set between October 2019 and January 2020 and takes place on a sleeper train and in a tenement flat in Portobello, Edinburgh.
Mister Bob (real name Robert Forrester) works as a cleaner and trolley service operator for a privatized train company, often on an all-night sleeper service between Scotland and London. Landscapes and accents change as he rides up and down the UK. He accepts the reality of his job but finds it unpleasant, and the line between his unpaid commute and the job itself is indistinct. He suffers from anxiety, alcoholism, obesity, hair loss and gingevitis. He also has nagging concerns about free will and makes gradual but noncommittal preparations for his suicide. He regularly experiences "Panic Visions": hallucinations that feel briefly real.
A colleague, Tracey, appears to be attracted to Mister Bob. Tracey is also an alcoholic but, unlike Mister Bob, is charismaric and displays an irreverent confidence. Together they skive, retreating to Mister Bob's sleeper cabin or to an empty First Class carriage to drink lager. In one such rendezvous, Tracey drunkenly suggests he might have more luck with women (i.e. herself) if he bathed more frequently and didn't smell.
Mister Bob throws himself into this assignment. He discovers luxury soap and other commercial goods pointing to more pleasant lives and more positive ways to think of himself. His soaks connect him nostalgically to childhood, promoting lengthy ruminations about himself, his personal history, and his place in the 21st century.
His life improves and his "Panic Visions" subside. He reads an article in a women's magazine left in the netting on the back of a passenger chair about "self-care" and comes to understand his metamorphosis but remains confused as to why such humanitarian guidance isn't also extended to people like himself.
When Mister Bob is presented with circumstances conducive to a drinking binge, he indulges willingly but is carried away when some younger men on a stag night include him in their drinking games. He reports to work the next day with a hangover and no uniform. In a confrontation with the train manager over professionalism, he is physically assaulted. The assault is witnessed by Tracey who, perhaps feeling sorry for him, meets Mister Bob for a sexual encounter during their night shift.
Humiliation and confusion begin a negative spiral in Mister Bob, threatening to undo the progress he has made. He experiences a long and intense Panic Vision in which he believes the International Space Station is falling from the sky. The Panic Vision, combined with a message of emotional rejection from Tracey, brings back his suicidal thoughts. His suicide attempt is left incomplete however, when he slips on the bath mat and bangs his head on the side of the bathtub. As he loses consciousness, he hears a disturbing radio news report about a global pandemic.
In an interview, Wringham described using the tropes of grotesque body, scatological humour and blue humour. Some of his characters speak in regional accents, making use of eye dialect. He also suggests that the novel relates to working-class experience and might be aligned with the dirtbag left.
He has also said "I felt like I had permission to indulge a certain working-class sense of humour I grew up with that I don't usually have in my work."
The novel mentions the 2019 protests of Extinction Rebellion, the ISS tenure of Chris Hadfield, and UK politicians Caroline Lucas and Jacob Rees-Mogg. The Dunblane Massacre, the Lockerbie Bombing and the COVID-19 pandemic are also mentioned.
Rub-A-Dub-Dub won Best Book Cover at the 2023 Saltire Society Literary Awards.
The cover used an original composition by artist Thomas MacGregor. MacGregor based the composition on that of Jacques-Louis David's The Death of Marat.
Pop Matters described it as a novel of transformation. OutsideLeft described it as "an extraordinary first novel, comic, poignant and dealing in detail with the endearing but sometimes revolting life of its protagonist." It was also recognised for its original cover art at the 2023 Saltire Literary Awards. | [

75,650,860 | Terje Dokken | Terje Dokken (born 13 December 1948) is a Norwegian footballer and manager.
Dokken is an older brother of Arne Dokken, and through him an uncle of Kenneth Dokken. Terje Dokken started playing football in local Northern Drammen club Åssiden IF in 1959, and remained here throughout 1976. In 1977 and 1978 he played for Mjøndalen IF, both on the highest Norwegian tier, amateur at the time, and in Europe. Among others, Dokken remembered losing duels to Gerd Müller.
Terje Dokken was also a bandy goalkeeper, and became Norwegian champion in bandy in 1970 when his team Strømsgodset beat Stabæk in the championship final. His time at Strømsgodset lasted from 1969 to 1974.
Terje Dokken started his coaching career in Mjøndalen, part-timing for their U19 team. Through the 1980s he coached Strømsgodset IF from 1980 to 1982, Åssiden IF in 1983, Asker SK from 1984 to 1986 and Strømsgodset again from 1987 to 1988.
Dokken started a lenghty spell as Strømsgodset's director of sports from 1989. He was in charge of signing players and managers, from 1992 to 1994 as chairman of Strømsgodset's football division, before returning as director of sports. Strømsgodset won one title during his period, the 1991 Norwegian Football Cup. In the league, Strømsgodset was more unstable, with relegations from the highest tier in 1991 and 1994 and re-promotions in 1993 and 1995. Dokken resigned as Strømsgodset director in January 1996, citing that the "Dokken era in SIF now must come to an end".
In 1997 Terje Dokken was elected deputy leader of Buskerud District of the Football Association, with Arne Dokken as leader. The Football Association did not accept that Arne Dokken held this position concurrently with working as a football agent in transfers involving Panathinaikos. Arne Dokken resigned, and Terje Dokken automatically advanced to leader. As such he oversaw development of football on all levels in Buskerud. He did not stand for re-election in 2003, and was decorated with Buskerud District honorary badge. | [

75,650,883 | A Tribe Called Judah | A Tribe Called Judah is a 2023 Nigerian film produced by Funke Akindele and starring Funke Akindele, Timini Egbuson, Jide Kene Achufusi, Uzee Usman, Tobi Makinde, Olumide Oworu, Genoveva Umeh, Nse Ikpe Etim, Juliana Olayode, Uzor Arukwe, Fathia Balogun, Yvonne Jegede and many others. The film was released to the cinema nationwide on 15 December 2023. Akindele has said the film is dedicated to her late mother, and draws partially from her mother's life.
A Tribe Called Judah tells a story of a single mother, Jedidah Judah (played by Funke Akindele), who has five sons from five different fathers from five different tribes. The first two sons are responsible and try their best to work and support their mother. Meanwhile, the last three are less helpful; Pere (played by Timini Egbuson) is a chronic pickpocket, Shina (played by Tobi Makinde) a hoodlum and tout in the community, and the last, Ejiro (played by Olumide Oworu), is naughty and only cares about his girlfriend, Testimony (played by Genoveva Umeh). Despite their bad behavior, Jedidah continues to support them and get them out of trouble.
Things take a turn for the worse when Jedidah develops a chronic kidney disease, needing ₦18 million to fund her operation and ₦400,000 weekly for her dialysis. The first son, Emeka, loses his job, and the five sons see no other option than to rob Emeka's ex-boss, who is rumored to be a money launder, to get the money to save their mothers life. However, their plans take a dramatic turn when they encounter armed robbers at the scene.
Following the release of A Tribe Called Judah to the cinema on 15 December 2023, the film became the first Nollywood film to gross over ₦113 million in its opening weekend. | [

Trần Văn Khá was born in Saigon, French Cochinchina in 1894.
From 1911 to 1925, Trần Văn Khá lived in Paris, France, working for the French War Department's Colonial Labor Directorate (Direction des travailleurs coloniaux).

Trần Văn Khá once participated in the meeting of the Colombo Plan initiated by the Commonwealth of Nations.
After the armistice between France and Germany, he was elected to the Saigon City Council and to the Standing Committee of the French Indochina Congress.
On 2 March 1952, Trần Văn Khá was appointed as Vietnam’s first ambassador to the United States. Before leaving for the United States, he arrived in Hong Kong on 29 April to visit friends in Hong Kong and bid farewell to them. He flew out of Hong Kong and returned to Saigon on 4 May.

75,650,925 | Quizimaze | Quizimaze is an out-of-print board game and trivia game created by Wilfrid Enterprises in 1986. The board game originates in Winnipeg and was discontinued after it was adapted into a different trivia game and the company went bankrupt. Copies of the game are scarce, but can be found in Mom and Pop Stores or other used item stores.
Wilfrid Enterprises was created by Gavin Cheng in 1986, releasing two board games which were discontinued in a year. Quizimaze was classified 028 by Ronald S. Ade, the company's legal correspondent.
The game combines knowledge and strategy where 2-8 players, or teams of players, have to navigate a moving maze, answering trivia questions of scarce topics until they collect all the colored chips from visiting the corners ("knowledge bases"). Players start in the center, surrounded by randomly placed color "gates" which they can manipulate by answering trivia. Small squares can be glued down to the board, but are recommended to be movable for excitement of the game.
Rules for the game are difficult to come by online, with only a couple sources.
Trivia questions that can be asked are color coded; Yellow is Science & Technology, Red is Social Studies, Blue is Language Arts, and Green is Leisure and Games. Questions are outdated and can be very precise. Blue cards ask questions regarding spelling, vocabulary, riddles and English speech. Each card has 6 questions and an illustration, then flip to the back for the answers. (eg; 1. "Cap nut" labelled (3) is called ____ nut. (answer: Acorn Nut)) Green cards, formatted the same, ask practical questions about sport equipment, mechanics and animal anatomy. Red cards formatted as before ask qeustions about Geography (largely Canadian) and labeling different objects (a lightbulb and torpedo). Questions also regard naming road signs and historiography). Yellow cards will ask about labeling things from lobsters to airplanes and parts of a hypodermic needle. Some questions also regard different cuts of meat.
A related game was released the same year with similar premises. For 2-4 players, Kaleidomaze allows you to zigzag through a new dimension. You must take the offensive to take over bases and trap subject tokens in the maze with a stressor peg. Players play against each other to trap opponents, and the maze is fluid and changeable. You are able to take "chances" and save a few "credits" (cards) to use intricate tactical strategies to not be trapped by your opponents. It can be very aggravating, ad the end can seem near and far at times. | [

75,650,935 | Zwackhia viridis | Zwackhia viridis is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), script lichen in the family Lecanographaceae. It has a cosmopolitan distribution, and has been documented in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania.
The lichen was first formally described by the Swedish lichenologist Erik Acharius, as Opegrapha rubella var. viridis. Ignaz Poetsch and Karl Schiedermayr [de] transferred it to the genus Zwackhia in 1872.
Zwackhia viridis is characterised by a subtle and svelte thallus that can range from being barely noticeable to a fine texture. Its colour spectrum includes shades of pale brown, grey, greenish-grey, brownish-grey, and green, all in a matte finish. On occasion, a prothallus can be observed, distinguishable by its dark brown hue and a width spanning 0.1–0.2 mm.
The ascomata (spore-producing structures) are dispersed relatively evenly across the thallus, though sometimes they appear in clusters of two to four. These structures are lirelliform (slit-like) in shape, generally straight, but can also have curved or slightly flexuous patterns. They are black and measure between 0.2 and 1.2 mm in length and 0.15–0.3 mm in width. Their hymenial disc is not pruinose and looks like a distinct slit.
Underneath the hymenium, the excipulum is of a dark brown shade which turns an olivaceous colour upon a potassium hydroxide (K) chemical spot test. This structure's width varies from 25 to 50 μm on the sides to 15–80 μm at the base. The hypothecium beneath is pale brown, stands 5–20 μm tall, and reacts to tests with an olivaceous hue on K and a red hue on iodine. The hymenium itself is clear and devoid of oil droplets, standing at a height between 75 and 120 μm. When exposed to potassium hydroxide and iodine (K/I), it turns blue. The branched paraphysoids intertwine and measure between 1.0 and 1.5 μm in width without a distinct enlarged tip. The epihymenium on top is a pale brown shade, which turns red when exposed to iodine.
Asci, the sac-like structures that produce spores, have a clavate to ellipsoid shape. They hold eight spores and range in size from 55 to 70 by 16–22 μm, with a pronounced apical blue ring upon K/I exposure. The ascospores are fusiform, clear, predominantly straight but occasionally exhibit a slight curve. They have 10–15 (up to 17) septa without constriction at these divisions. These spores, in their mature state, have median cells roughly equal in length and breadth, with the end locules being more stretched. They measure between 30.0 and 42.5 by 4.5–7.5 μm. The perispore around the spores is 1.5–2.5 μm wide and clear, but it transitions to an even brown hue when it matures beyond its prime.
Zwackhia viridis has a cosmopolitan distribution, having been documented in Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Oceania. It was first reported from the Chatham Islands in 2020. It was rediscovered in Lower Saxony (Germany) after exactly 150 years; according to the Red List of Lower Saxony (under Opegrapha viridis), the species has been considered extinct in the hill and mountain regions since 1885. | [

75,650,982 | Trachyaretaon bresseeli | Trachyaretaon bresseeli is a species of stick insects in the family Heteropterygidae. It is native to the Philippine island Luzon.
The medium-sized, stocky species is similar to Trachyaretaon mangyan native to Mindoro and the Trachyaretaon nakatago, which also occurs in northern Luzon. The 7.1 to 8.7 centimetres (2.8 to 3.4 in) long females are very variable in color. Although medium brown colors with darker and lighter components usually dominate, various tones from dark to medium brown to yellow brown and ocher to olive can also be found. The terga two to four of the abdomen are usually darker in color than the other segments and have a characteristic inverted V-shaped black marking laterally. The pronotum is usually lighter in color than the rest of the thorax and has two faint dark and closely spaced parallel longitudinal stripes. The mesonotum shows a more or less distinct pale cream or straw-colored, triangular anterior marking. The body structure is rather poorly developed and quite low. The spines located on the posterior meso- and metanotum (meso- and metanotales) are rather conical and multi-humped. The central longitudinal edge on the meso- and metasternum is rather weakly pronounced or barely noticeable. The secondary ovipositor, is formed from the epiproct, which is laterally straight and about 1.5 times longer than that anal segment. In the basal half it is almost parallel and tapers only slightly posteriorly to an obtuse-angled tip that is slightly curved upwards. The ventral subgenital plate of the ovipositor is long, lanceolate and clearly keeled in the posterior half. It is moderately pointed and slightly protrudes beyond the epiproct.
The males are around 5.5 to 6.2 centimetres (2.2 to 2.4 in) long and are significantly less variable in color. Their basic color is usually brown to olive brown. There is a light brown longitudinal line on the meso- and metanotum, which can rarely and usually indistinctly continue on the first segments of the abdomen. Armature of body is moderately developed. The posterior spines on the meso- and metanotum (meso- and metanotales) protrude pointedly and are many-humped around the base. The mesonotum is laterally and posteriorly darker than the rest of the body, as are the pleura, and is usually reddish or medium to dark brown in color.
The 4.5 to 4.6 millimetres (0.18 to 0.18 in) long, 2.6 millimetres (0.10 in) wide and 2.4 millimetres (0.094 in) high, grey-brown eggs are laid in the ground, as with all Obrimini, using the ovipositor at the end of the abdomen. Her capsule is heavily scarred. The operculum and the area around it are covered with very short bristles. As with most Obrimini, the micropylar plate is three-part and Y-shaped. It is rather small and only about 0.65 times as long as the egg capsule. The middle part becomes slightly narrower towards the front and the two posterolateral extensions are small and extend almost at an angle of 90° to the side surfaces of the capsule.
The first specimens of this species were discovered in July 2009 by Joachim Bresseel, Bellemans, Van Dingeen and Derijck on Luzon in the province of Aurora near the city of San Luis collected at the Cunayan and Ditumabo waterfalls. The specimens of the six wild-caught specimens, which were handed over to Frank H. Hennemann for processing in April 2023, were described by him as Trachyaretaon bresseeli in a work published in November 2023. The name is dedicated to Bresseel, who was the first to collect this species and establish a culture in Europe. Bressell, who himself works taxonomic at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels, was also thanked for his years of friendship and generosity, including: extensive Obrimini material from the collection of the Brussels Museum, much of which was collected by him. The specimens of wild-caught animals are deposited as type material in the Museum of Natural Sciences in Brussels. There is a female deposited there as holotype, three further females and two males from the wild caught animals as paratypes, as well as five further females and eleven males from Bresseel's breeding. Other paratypes from Hennemann's breeding are in his collection.
Sarah Bank et al. already included samples of this species in their studies based on genetic analysis published in 2021 to clarify the phylogeny of the Heteropterygidae, which were here named Trachyaretaon echinatus because of the first original identification of the cultured animals. The investigations show that the species forms a common clade together with previously described species such as Trachyaretaon carmelae, now described species such as Trachyaretaon maliit and species that have not yet been described.
The first representatives of this species were introduced to enthusiasts by Bresseel in 2009. He established a breeding line from the animals he collected in the province of Aurora, which quickly became widespread. It was initially called Trachyaretaon echinatus and has been found in the terrariums of European enthusiasts since around 2010. The incorrect classification was recognized a little later and so the animals were known for a long time under the name Trachyaretaon sp. 'Aurora' in circulation. The Phasmid Study Group lists it under the PSG number 317. In April 2010, Bresseel, Tim Bollens and Rob Krijns collected in Marinfata on the road to Infanta on Luzon an adult female from whose eggs a sexual breeding line could be established. This in turn was identified as Trachyaretaon echinatus and was called Trachyaretaon echinatus 'Marinfata' for years. It is listed by the Phasmid Study Group under the PSG number 326. Both breeding lines were identified by Hennemann as representatives of the same species, which he described as Trachyaretaon bresseeli in 2023.
Like all cultured members of the genus, the species is easy to keep and breed in the terrarium with the leaves of bramble, hazel, ivy, firethorn, psidium or other food plants common to stick insects. To enable egg laying, the bottom of the terrarium should be covered with a slightly moist substrate of soil. | [

75,651,018 | Chhot | Chhot is a fishing boat, found in coastal water and coastal rivers of Bengal. This boats was widely used by fishermen in the lower reaches of the Rupnarayan and Hooghly rivers. The boat is capable of sailing in coastal waters.
Chhot boats were used for fishing as well as for transporting goods. However, the use of these boats is on the verge of extinction.
In 2022, Chhot boat building methods and techniques were documented. This documentation was completed by the Endangered Materials Knowledge Program (EMKP) funded by the British Museum.
No information is available on the history of the Chhot boat. The Jhumjhumi was famous for building these boats. These boats were used for fishing as well as carrying cargo until the mid-20th century, but are now used exclusively for fishing. Boats were loaded with rice from rice mills around Kolaghat and delivered to the destination. These boats also used to tow Khorokisti carrying straw from remote areas of the Sundarbans to Kolkata.
The design of a Chhot boat enables the boat to sail in coastal rivers and coastal waters. The hull of this boat is deep and pointed. The hull of the wooden boat is "V" shaped, which allows the boat to remain stable in the water even when buffeted by waves or wind. Due to its basically "V" shape, the boat is suitable for coastal waters.
The specialty of this boat called "Chhot" is that the wooden hulls are joined with metal in such a way that the shape of the boat is like a 'V'. Helps to cut river water easily. So the entire process is being documented.
—Prof. John P. Cooper
A reconstruction project was undertaken under a collaborative project between the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom and the Central University of Haryana in India to document Chhot boat construction knowledge. The reconstruction and documentation project is known as The chhot-builders of West Bengal, India: Documenting the vanishing craft knowledge of a unique boat-building tradition. A documentary on the making of "Chhot" boats was produced jointly by India and the United Kingdom, with Endangered Materials Knowledge Program by the financial support of the British Museum.
The construction work of Chhot was completed at Dihimandal Ghat at Shyampur, Howrah district, West Bengal. Panchanan Mandal was the main craftsman of this boat; Panchanan Mandal and his 4 sons built this almost defunct boat. The boat was built in about 40 days. All construction activities and procedures from start to finish of boat building are captured by videography, which has been preserved in a museum in England. On 10 November 2022, the boat made its first voyage. A total of Rs 350,000 was spent on the construction of the boat. | [

75,651,025 | College soccer in the United States | College soccer is played by teams composed of soccer players who are enrolled in colleges and universities. While it is most widespread in the United States, it is also prominent in Japan, South Korea, Canada, South Africa, and the Philippines. The United Kingdom also has a university league. The institutions typically hire full-time professional coaches and staff, although the student athletes are mostly amateur and are not paid. College soccer in the United States is sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the sports regulatory body for major universities, and by the governing bodies for smaller universities and colleges.
College soccer teams play a variety of conference and non-conference games throughout the fall season, with the season culminating in the post-season tournament called the College Cup. The St. Louis University Billikens is the most successful men's team, having won 10 College Cups while the North Carolina Tar Heels led by head coach Anson Dorrance is the most successful women's college soccer team with 21 College Cup wins.
The best men's and women's college soccer player each year is awarded the Hermann Trophy.
After their collegiate careers, top men's players often go on to play professionally in Major League Soccer or other professional leagues while top women's players may play professionally in the National Women's Soccer League or in other professional soccer leagues around the world including the Women's Super League in England, Division 1 Féminine in France, Damallsvenskan in Sweden, Germany's Frauen-Bundesliga, Australia's A-League Women, or Japan's WE League.
The first de facto college football game held in the U.S. in 1869 between Rutgers University and Princeton was contested, at Rutgers captain John W. Leggett's request, with rules mixing soccer and rugby and loosely based on those of the Football Association in London, England. As a result, it is considered the first collegiate soccer match and the birth of soccer in the United States.
However other sports historians argue that this was actually the first-ever college gridiron football season in history. But that perception is changing, with Harvard being recognized as a pioneer in gridiron football, along with McGill, Tufts, and Yale.
The NCAA first began holding a men's national soccer championship in 1959. Prior to 1959, the men's national champion had been determined by a national poll instead of through a national tournament. Saint Louis University won the 1959 inaugural championship using mostly local players, defeating a number of teams that were mostly foreign players. Saint Louis continued to dominate the Division I championship for a number of years, appearing in five consecutive finals from 1959 to 1963 and winning four; and appearing in six consecutive finals from 1969 to 1974 and winning four.
College soccer continued growing throughout the 1970s, with the NCAA adding a men's Division III in 1974 to accommodate the growing number of schools. Indiana University's men's soccer program achieved success in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s with 8 national championships, 6 Hermann Trophy winners (national player of the year), and 13 national team players. From 1973 to 2003 no team won more men's national championships or had more NCAA College Cup appearances than Indiana. Virginia won a record four consecutive men's national championships from 1991 to 1994 under head coach Bruce Arena.
The first college women's varsity soccer team was established at Castleton State College, now known as Castleton University, in Vermont in the mid-1960s. A major factor in the growth of women's college soccer was the passage of the Education Amendments of 1972, which included Title IX that mandated equal access and equal spending on athletic programs at college institutions. As a result, college varsity soccer programs for women were established. Since at least 1977, African American and women coaches have been underrepresented and have a significantly shorter tenure as coaches.
By 1981, there were about a 100 varsity programs established in NCAA women's soccer, and even more club teams. The AIAW (Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women), was established in the mid-1970s and began sponsoring women's varsity programs. It establishing an informal national championship in 1980, which Cortland State won. A year later in 1981, the tournament was hosted by the University of North Carolina, which ended up winning the tournament as well.
In 1982, the NCAA began to sponsor women's sports and all schools switched into the NCAA. One major difference in the growth of women's college soccer unlike men's college soccer, was that it did not start out primarily in one region of the country and spread through the decades. With help from men's soccer, the women's program was able to take root all over the country at once, and grow from there. The University of North Carolina, coached by Anson Dorrance, immediately stood out as the ones to beat in the women's college game and remain that way up unto today. Of the first 20 NCAA championships, 16 were won by UNC, including nine in a row from 1986 to 1994.
College soccer is played in the fall from August to December depending on if a team makes the tournament and how long they are in the tournament. Teams play conference and non-conference teams. The NCAA tournament is played in November to early December with the Final Four and Championship game played in December. There are 48 teams in the men's tournament and 64 teams in the women's tournament.
After many months of extended unofficial discussion, on August 22, 2016, NCAA Division I men's coaches and the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) officially began an "informational campaign" to build support for a proposed change of the playing schedule for Division I men's soccer. Under the proposed changes of the "Academic Year Season Model", the number of games on the Fall schedule and the number of mid-week games would be reduced, with games added in the Spring following a Winter break, and the NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament would be moved from November and December to May and June. In addition to more closely matching the professional season, the changes address issues of player health and safety and of the time demands on student-athletes. The proposal concerns only Division I men's soccer. While a large majority of men's coaches and players support the changes, only a small minority of women's coaches and players currently do so. At this time, there is only the "informational campaign" "...to educate our Athletic Directors, NCAA leadership, student athletes, coaches and fans on the advantages of this Academic Year Model," said Sasho Cirovski, NSCAA D1 Men's committee chair and University of Maryland head coach.
A formal proposal was made and a vote was scheduled to take place in April, 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the 2020-2021 NCAA Tournament, rescheduled to the spring of 2021, broadcasters mentioned that the vote will take place in the spring of 2022.
While similar in general appearance, NCAA rules diverge significantly from FIFA Laws of the Game. A manager may make limited substitutions, and each player is allowed one re-entry which must occur in the second half of the match unless the substitution was caused by a player injury resulting from a caution or send-off. Since 2022, all playoff matches have an overtime period if the game remains tied after 90 minutes, but not the regular season. It consists of a regular two-half extra time period, but no golden goal. During playoff games, if neither team scores in the two ten-minute periods, it would go to a penalty shootout. College soccer is played with a clock that can be stopped when signaled to by the referee for injuries, the issuing of cards, or when the referee believes a team is wasting time. The clock is also stopped after goals until play is restarted, and the clock generally counts down from 45:00 to 0:00 in each half. In most professional soccer leagues, there is an up-counting clock with the referee adding stoppage time to the end of each 45-minute half.
In February 2017, the NCAA rules committee met to discuss a proposed rule that would change the double jeopardy rule. If the last player was to foul a player and deny a goal scoring opportunity, this rule would instead give the referee the ability to choose to issue a yellow card, if they were to feel it was a proper attempt to get the ball. The change was approved.
On March 29, 2018, the NCAA announced that its rules committee had recommended that the organization align itself with FIFA timekeeping rules, with the new rule slated for adoption in the 2018 season. If this proposal had been adopted,
The committee felt that the then-current timekeeping system led to gamesmanship, specifically blatant delaying tactics, at the end of matches.
On January 15, 2020, a change in the time frame of the men's D1 season was proposed. Known as the Twenty-first Century Model, l season across the full academic year, making it both a fall and spring sport.
The main motivations for the proposal were to reduce injury and improve the balance academic and other college experiences for athletes. In the fall during the regular season, teams may play 18 to 20 games over 10 weeks—an average of one match every 3.6 days—resulting in higher rates of injury compared to players who recovered for 6 or more days. Under the new schedule, there would be only one match per week.
When initially proposed, the changes were supported by the Atlantic Coast Conference, the Big Ten Conference, and the Pac-12 Conference. The proposal was to be voted on in April, 2020, but was indefinitely tabled due to NCAA D1 Legislative Committees prioritizing issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic. During the 2020-2021 NCAA Tournament, broadcasters mentioned that the vote is scheduled for the spring of 2022.
The following teams have won the College Cup two or more times.
Side Notes:
The following teams have won the College Cup.
A number of American college soccer programs have developed players that have gone on to play professionally or for the U.S. national teams. Every year since its inception in 1996, Major League Soccer (MLS) has held a SuperDraft in which MLS teams draft young prospects. The draft picks in the MLS SuperDraft are often U.S.-based college soccer players. A similar format is held each year for the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL): the NWSL College Draft.
The Hermann Trophy is awarded annually by the Missouri Athletic Club to the top male and female college soccer players in the United States.At the start of the college soccer season a list of Hermann Trophy nominees is compiled. Near the end of the college regular season, 15 players are announced as semifinalists. In early December the top three vote-getters for both the men's and women's trophy are announced as finalists. In an annual banquet held at the Missouri Athletic Club of St. Louis, the winners of the two awards are announced. Hermann Trophy winners who have starred for the U.S. national teams at multiple FIFA World Cups include Tony Meola (1989), Alexi Lalas (1991), and Claudio Reyna (1993), Michelle Akers (1988), Shannon Higgins (1989), Kristine Lilly (1991), Mia Hamm (1991–92), Tisha Venturini (1994), Shannon MacMillan (1995), Cindy Parlow (1997–98), Aly Wagner (2002), Kelley O'Hara (2009), Christen Press (2010), Crystal Dunn (2012) and Morgan Brian (2013–14).
Many top American men's college soccer players play for separate teams in the Premier Development League (PDL) during the summer. One college club, the BYU Cougars men's team, has foregone playing in the NCAA or NAIA and instead play all of their games in the PDL.
Several coaches who have won the College Cup have gone on to coach Division I professional soccer or even the U.S. national teams. The most well-known NCAA men's team coaches who have gone on to success in the professional ranks include Bruce Arena (four College Cups with Virginia from 1991 to 1994), and Sigi Schmid (won two College Cups with UCLA in 1985 and 1990). On the women's side, North Carolina coach Anson Dorrance coached the United States women's national soccer team during its early years from 1986 to 1994 and led the team to win the inaugural 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup in China. Former UCLA Bruins coach Jill Ellis led the national team to win its third World Cup at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada.
Many women's college soccer players take opportunities to play professionally in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) and in Europe, Asia, and Australia. Players are also chosen from college to be a member of the United States women's national soccer team. The NWSL started in 2012 and now consists of 12 teams, with two more to be added in 2024. However, the league's player draft is not restricted to college players, and the first player selected in the most recent draft in 2023, Alyssa Thompson, turned down a scholarship offer from Stanford to enter the draft,
Recent winners of the Mac Hermann Trophy include international players such as Kadeisha Buchanan (2016), Raquel Rodríguez (2015), Morgan Brian (2014, 2013) and Crystal Dunn (2012).
Recently, more and more foreign players have been introduced to American college soccer. Getting recruited from overseas, these foreign players are joining teams of many college teams. 2015 was the first year that there was a flood of international players joining these teams. These players are said to join college soccer in hopes of playing professionally in Major League Soccer and also to get the education that the United States provides, with uncertainties raised about the playing time and type of education they would receive in their countries.
College soccer in the United States is sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the sports regulatory body for major universities, and by the governing bodies for smaller universities and colleges. This sport is played on a rectangular field of the dimensions of about 70–75 yards sideline to sideline (width), and 115–120 yards goal line to goal line (length).
College soccer teams play a variety of conference and non-conference games throughout the fall season, with the season culminating in the post-season tournament called the College Cup. The Saint Louis Billikens are the most successful men's team, having won 10 College Cups while the North Carolina Tar Heels led by head coach Anson Dorrance is the most successful women's college soccer team with 21 College Cup wins.
The best men's and women's college soccer player each year is awarded the Hermann Trophy.
There are approximately 800 NCAA men's soccer programs—206 NCAA Division I, 207 Division II, and 408 Division III. There are 959 NCAA women's soccer teams—310 Division I, 225 Division II, and 424 Division III.
The number of men's Division I programs has stayed roughly constant since the mid-1990s, but the number of women's Division I programs has increased from 190 in 1995–96 to 310 in 2008–09.
Among Division I all-sports conferences, only the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference does not sponsor soccer at all. All of the remaining 31 conferences sponsor women's soccer, but eight of these do not sponsor men's soccer.
Statuses of men's soccer for each conference reflect alignments for the 2023 season.
Of the 23 Division II all-sports conferences, only the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference do not sponsor soccer at all. All of the remaining conferences sponsor soccer for both sexes except the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, which sponsors the sport for women only.
All Division III all-sports conferences sponsor soccer for both sexes except the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, which sponsors the sport for women only.
In the United Kingdom, the BUCS Football League governs association football in colleges and universities. There are currently 450 teams spread across the league.
The All Japan University Football Championship and the All Japan Women's University Football Championship are the main tournaments for universities across Japan. Both of them are played annually with 24 participating universities and distinct qualification series. The 2022 edition of both men's and women's tournaments are taking place between December 2022 and January 2023.
Many college soccer players in Japan, which has a similar "college soccer to national team" pipeline as found in the United States, have gone on to represent their national teams. Nine players of the Japan national football team at the 2022 FIFA World Cup have a college soccer background.
The university association football competition is called the U-League. Created in 2008, it is the first organized league competition for university association football teams and operates outside of the regular Korean association football league structure.
Many college soccer players in South Korea, which has a similar "college soccer to national team" pipeline as found in the United States, have gone on to represent their national teams. Historically, a majority of players who represented the South Korea national under-20 football team played soccer in college. The team's most successful result was reaching the finals of the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Similarly, the South Korea women's national under-20 football team also has players from college soccer. In the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, 16 players of the 21-woman squad were in college.
The UAAP Football Championship is contested by the eight members schools of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines. NCAA Philippines also sponsors a football tournament.
The university association football competition is called the SV-League, which is held annually among teams of university students.
Due to its proximity to the United States, 19 out of the 22 Canada women's national under-20 soccer team players at the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup play in the NCAA. Christine Sinclair, captain of the Canada women's national soccer team, played for the Portland Pilots women's soccer team from 2001 to 2005.
In Canada, there are two organizations that regulate university and collegiate athletics:
Varsity Football is a yearly tournament contested by South African universities in the intercollegiate league Varsity Sports (South Africa). As of the 2022 season, 8 teams participate in each of the men's and women's divisions. | [

Since 2022, all playoff matches have an overtime period if the game remains tied after 90 minutes, but not the regular season. It consists of a regular two-half extra time period, but no golden goal. During playoff games, if neither team scores in the two ten-minute periods, it would go to a penalty shootout. College soccer is played with a clock that can be stopped when signaled to by the referee for injuries, the issuing of cards, or when the referee believes a team is wasting time. The clock is also stopped after goals until play is restarted, and the clock generally counts down from 45:00 to 0:00 in each half.

75,651,196 | Maine Air Museum | The Maine Air Museum is an aviation museum located at Bangor International Airport in Bangor, Maine.
The Maine Aviation Historical Society was founded in 1967 and reformed in 1990. The society began monthly discussions with the city of Bangor in 1997 and two years later took possession of a building at the airport. This was followed one month later by the acquisition of a Stinson 10A from the Quonset Air Museum. After several years of work, the Maine Air Museum held its grand opening on 14 June 2003.
In 2007, the museum opened new exhibits about aerial firefighting during the 1947 fires on Mount Desert Island and aerial navigation in World War II. It received a number of new exhibits in 2010, including two about the physics of flight and a rotating beacon that had been used at Bangor International Airport. The next year, it acquired the engine and propeller of the NC-4, the first airplane to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
The museum is located in Building 98, a 7,000 sq ft (650 m) concrete structure with 11 ft (3.4 m) thick walls which was built in 1958 to assemble air-to-air missiles as part of Dow Air Force Base. A platform for viewing aircraft taking off and landing at the airport is attached to the side of the building.
Exhibits at the museum include the airlines of Maine, military crash sites in the state, the disappearance of L'Oiseau Blanc and a 1920s aircraft mechanic's workshop. Another set of displays explain aerodynamic principles. | [

75,651,411 | Jugend voraus | Else Ury did not experience January 30, 1933, the day of Hitler’s seizure of power, as an existential threat. Like most Germans, she welcomed the "national uprising" and hoped that the misery of the post-war years would end and a new era would begin. In this spirit, she wrote Jugend voraus, a story for boys and girls. Once again, a completely normal family takes center stage in the story, and for the first time, Else Ury addresses the issue of unemployment.
Father Felsing is a diligent bank employee. Mother is a prudent, thrifty, and educated mother and housewife. The four children, two boys and two girls, are each in their own way clever, talented, and lovable, as Ury's heroes always were. However, the idyllic family life is significantly disrupted in the spring of 1932. Father is "downsized," and the family is thrust into hardship through no fault of their own. The correct and hardworking bank employee is bewildered by his dismissal, and after a month, he must go to the welfare office. "Their savings were almost exhausted. He had to apply for unemployment benefits if his children were not to go hungry. It was the worst day the Felsings had ever experienced when Father went to 'stamp' for the first time." However, the loving wife and the brave children strive to support Father. The older ones find small earning opportunities, help with household chores, and do not complain about the growing inconveniences of subletting two rooms of the apartment. In difficult times, parents can rely on the helpfulness of their children. Mother even believes that the limitations make life more suitable. Throughout the story, Else Ury increasingly uses a vocabulary like what was last found in her war books. The homeland is invoked repeatedly, even in the most mundane everyday matters. The Felsing family's subtenant, a Japanese scientist, seeks a secretary and is surprised that Mother Felsing is willing to type his work. He argues that in Japan, a woman is supposed to be the ornament of the house and, of course, does not work. In response, Mrs. Felsing says, "We German women want to be that too. But our homeland needs the work of everyone, whether man or woman, to regain strength." The absurdity of this response is evident: with seven million unemployed, one cannot speak of needing the work of everyone. Moreover, "the homeland" does not need Mrs. Felsing; she needs the money for the next rent. This general-political elevation of everyday events takes up more and more space in the book from chapter to chapter. The summer work of 13-year-old Peter on a farm becomes a "defense of Fatherland" and a support for the farming class as the foundation of the German people. Naturally, it takes place again in Silesia. Agricultural work with a view of the Snowy Head. When he is hot and dusty while digging potatoes, the boy encourages himself with thoughts of German heroic deeds. Did others not endure much greater efforts and pain for their fatherland? Did they not sacrifice their healthy limbs, even their lives? And here he was complaining about a little back pain. "The soil from which he dug the potatoes was German soil." He helped to extract its yield for the homeland. So, grit your teeth and forge ahead. Even the eldest proudly shows an American businessman around the city of Berlin, and when the American leaves after five days, he has the most favorable impression of Germany and its youth. The invitation from the friendly tenant to come to Japan is proudly declined because, "Our German homeland needs its youth now. Each of us has the duty to help in the reconstruction. No one must give in to their own desires and desert their flag." This time, not only German Christmas is celebrated; the Japanese tenant is also enthusiastically celebrating a Protestant consecration. The confirmation or consecration, as it is called in Berlin, must be celebrated appropriately with so much new hope. Renate, a serious, industrious girl, has prepared intensively for this step and memorized all the sayings dutifully. The introductory words that the pastor gives her sound increasingly like the patriotic confessions of the German Christians: "Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life." It continues, "Yes," she wanted to be faithful, to her faith, her people, her duty. In the last chapter, Else Ury wrote: "And while winter and early spring fought for supremacy, (...) early spring entered the German government. Suddenly, it was there, the general national uprising of Germany. The willing Germans joined together under the leadership of Chancellor Hitler. They all wanted to help, to make Germany great and strong again, to free it from its economic distress. The entire German people united to put an end to the misery of the post-war years (...) Berlin was a sea of flags. Everyone hoped for better times. Leading the way, the youth, the hope of the German people." The hopes are fulfilled: Father has found work, and May 1, traditionally a day of labor struggle, suddenly appears as a national day of joy. "May 1st gilds the festival of national work with bright sunshine. Spring-green garlands decorate the houses, churches, and squares, winding across the streets of Berlin. Flags flutter colorfully in the spring breeze. Outside on Tempelhof Field, there is feverish activity. The hustle and bustle begin in the early dawn. Delivery trucks rattle to bring the groceries for the masses who want to celebrate the festival here. At the entrance to the lime trees, a large banner reads, 'Only a strong Germany can provide work for the German people.' Down the spring-green lime trees, which have already witnessed many great hours, down to the Lustgarten, flows a surging sea of school children. Youth marches. And while all the formations, associations, guilds, unions, and businesses, all of working Berlin, march out to Tempelhof Field, while thousands and tens of thousands are transported to the national festival of labor in specially decorated trains, flower-decked cars, and airplanes from outside the city, Berlin youth gathers for the national rally in the Lustgarten. Young Germany awaits the aged President Paul von Hindenburg and the Chancellor Hitler (...) The cheerful murmur of the children suddenly falls silent. From the castle ramp, the Berliner Singers Association (Berliner Sängerbund) solemnly plays the song 'Germany, you my fatherland.' Giant loudspeakers broadcast the rally (...) Only with difficulty can the car, embodying the old and young Germany, make its way past the living wall of youth cheering them on until it reaches the Lustgarten (...) A new wave of cheers as the President Paul von Hindenburg reaches the speaker's platform. Amidst a hundred thousand bright children's voices, it resounds: 'I have surrendered with heart and with hand to you, land full of love and life, my fatherland.' Despite the human flood, there is silence. The old field marshal continues. He greets the youth gathered here from all walks of life, to pledge themselves to the common fatherland, to the dutiful dedication to the nation, to respect for productive work. 'You are our future! You must take the heritage of our Fathers on your shoulders to preserve, strengthen, and expand it. Only he who learns to obey can later command. Only he who has reverence for the past of our people can master its future.' With a triple cheer for Germany, the elderly President concludes. The German national anthem resounds. The entire German people—all of them want to unite and help in national work. Youth leads the way!"
There were suspicions that someone had manipulated "Jugend voraus" against Else Ury's will and Nazified it without her knowledge. Meidingers Jugendschriften Verlag was a subsidiary of the Jewish department store conglomerate Wertheim. In 1941, Meidingers’ name ceased to exist, and its assets were taken over by the Globus Verlag, apparently an "Aryanization measure." The publishing house was probably under political pressure in 1933. The question remains whether Else Ury shaped the tenor of the book of her own accord or whether she was forced in some way. Financially, she did not need to applaud Hitler publicly against her convictions after 38 successful books and numerous other publications. Ury biographer Marianne Brentzel interviewed Ury’s nephew Klaus Heymann, whose recollection dispels all doubts about the authenticity of the book. His aunt showed him the end of the book when he was age 15 and asked for his opinion. It was in the Riesengeberge, and what he read did not please him. He said she couldn't include such things in her book. "But she thought she had to, otherwise the whole thing wouldn't end correctly, and she wanted to conclude the story with this national uprising." Only about the last drawing of the League of German Girls in uniform and with the swastika flag did his aunt get terribly upset and ask the publisher to at least remove the swastika flag. "The publisher refused, and she was more than disappointed, she was quite angry about it. I still know that." | [

75,651,452 | Tobacco legislation in Switzerland | Switzerland has tobacco legislation defined at federal and cantonal level. It covers protection of the population against passive smoking, restrictions on tobacco advertising, warnings on packaging and taxes.
Switzerland is one of the few European countries (along with Monaco and Liechtenstein) not to have ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). It signed it on June 25, 2004, but will only be able to proceed with ratification once it has brought its national legislation into line with the treaty, in accordance with Swiss law on international treaties. In 2015, ratification was included in the 2020 objectives of the Federal Office of Public Health.
A Tobacco Bill was proposed by the Federal Council in November 2015. It aimed to strengthen protection against smoking, but was considered "a minimal project [...] lagging behind certain measures taken in foreign countries" by Alain Berset, the Federal Councillor and head of the Federal Department of Home Affairs behind the project. However, it was considered too restrictive by the Health Committee of the Council of States, which rejected it. A new version of the bill, proposed in December 2017, dropped the bans on cinema, poster and press advertising. It failed to enable Switzerland to achieve its goal of ratifying the WHO Framework Convention, and was deemed clearly insufficient by Swiss prevention circles, who campaigned for a total ban on advertising and sponsorship of public or private events.
A new bill was put out to consultation in 2018, with almost no new advertising restrictions. The "tobacco-free children" initiative was launched in March 2018 to propose a slightly more ambitious law to control advertising.
In October 2021, the Federal Assembly passed a federal law on tobacco products and electronic cigarettes (Tobacco Products Act, LPTab). It was due to come into force by mid-2023.
A federal parliamentary initiative was launched in 2006 by National Councillor Felix Gutzwiller to strengthen protection against passive smoking in public places. It proposed amending the Labor Act to establish the principle that workers should be able to carry out their activities without being exposed to passive smoke. This initiative was accepted by the National Council on October 4, 2007.
Following the referendum, a law was introduced at federal level in 2010. It imposed the principle that smoking was prohibited in public places and workplaces, but did not apply to catering establishments of less than 80 square meters, which could be operated as smoking establishments. Served smoking rooms were also permitted.
The right-wing parties opposed the text and defended the "right to smoke" and the freedom of shopkeepers to decide whether or not their establishments would be smoking, in the name in particular of the attractiveness of Switzerland as a tourist destination, while the left-wing parties defended a more general ban.
A new initiative to strengthen this ban was rejected on September 23, 2012, including by the cantons that had overwhelmingly approved the imposition of additional restrictions at home. The canton of Geneva was the only one to vote overwhelmingly in favor of a stricter ban at federal level.
In Switzerland, each canton can legislate in its own area of jurisdiction (e.g. health and hygiene). Cantons are thus able to enact laws that are more restrictive than federal law.
Swiss cantons can be broadly grouped into three categories:
Almost all the French-speaking cantons belong to the first category; only the canton of Jura is limited to applying federal law. In contrast, the cantons in the third category are almost all German-speaking.
Detailed information on some cantons that have adopted laws more restrictive than the federal law:
Unlike other European countries, tobacco advertising is still very present in Switzerland, particularly at points of sale, discotheques and youth festivals. Advertising is regulated, but the legislation is not as strict as elsewhere.
Tobacco product advertising is banned on radio and television (Article 10 of the Federal Law on Radio and Television), but remains authorized in newspapers and magazines, on billboards, in cinemas, on articles of daily consumption and at points of sale, as well as direct promotion and direct mailings aimed at adults. A large number of cultural events are sponsored by the tobacco industry, which takes advantage of the opportunity to carry out promotional operations (special cigarette packs for the event, for example). Many festivals are sponsored by the tobacco industry. Switzerland is the last European country, along with Belarus, to authorize tobacco industry sponsorship of events.
A bill to further restrict tobacco advertising is being considered, but it would not affect sponsorship operations. The advertising industry is opposed. Federal Councillor Alain Berset's proposal for a partial ban was rejected by the Council of States in June 2016, then by the National Council on December 8, 2016, despite 58% of the population declaring themselves in favor of a total ban, as practiced in France and Italy, for example.
Faced with the bill's lack of ambition, the "children without tobacco" initiative was launched in March 2018 to obtain a ban, for tobacco products, on "all forms of advertising that reach children and young people". It is supported by health and youth organizations and can be signed online as well as in doctors' offices and pharmacies. The ban would apply in particular to advertising in cinemas, on billboards and at points of sale. The initiative committee is chaired by Hans Stöckli. On August 26, 2020, the Federal Council proposed that Parliament recommend rejection of the initiative.
In September 2019, the Council of States proposed banning advertising in magazines and on the internet, as well as tobacco industry sponsorship of international events or events organized by the Confederation, cantons or municipalities. Under this proposal, advertising in cinemas, on everyday consumer goods, at points of sale and by direct mail to adults would remain authorized. The "Tobacco-Free Kids" initiative was scheduled to be put to the vote on February 13, 2022.
Some cantons impose additional restrictions on tobacco advertising, particularly with regard to public signs and signs visible from the public domain. The Canton of Vaud, for example, has a more restrictive law: the Advertising Act prohibits tobacco advertising in the public domain and on private property visible from the public domain. A small number of cantons also ban cinema advertising (Geneva, Obwalden, St. Gallen, Solothurn and Valais) and sponsorship activities (Solothurn and Valais).
By 2021, fifteen cantons will have banned the sale of tobacco products to minors under the age of 18, nine other cantons have set the limit at 16 and two cantons have no limit.
Taxation is governed by the Federal Tobacco Tax Act. Conventional cigarettes are taxed at 54%; other tobacco products are taxed at a lower rate, including heated tobacco at 12%. | [

75,651,466 | Charles William Tyrrell | Charles William Tyrrell (16 May, 1910 – 7 January, 1972) was a British chartered accountant who was instrumental in establishing the Booker Prize.
Charles William Tyrrell was born in Virginia Water, Surrey, England, the third of four children to Charles Ethelbert (Charlie) Tyrrell and Emily Jane Tyrrell (née Hacking). He studied at Stowe School in Buckinghamshire, England. Tyrrell was first married to Catherine Ivy Francis (née Wentworth). In September 1949, he married Joan Hayman Tyrrell (née Hooper) and they had three daughters, Emma, Sally and Beverly. A grandson, Harry Jonas, is an international lawyer and social entrepreneur.
Tyrrell trained at Broads Paterson & Co. in London and later worked with Arthur Young & Co. in New York (now both merged to become Ernst & Young). He joined the Booker Group (formerly Booker-McConnell) and became the first Chairman of the Author’s Division, acquiring rights to Ian Fleming and Agatha Christie’s works, among others. On 6 May, 1968, Tom Maschler, of Jonathan Cape and Publishers’ Association, wrote to Tyrrell to suggest instituting “a major literary award” and requested finance from Booker-McConnell. A decision to proceed with the establishment of a prize was communicated to Maschler by Tyrrell in person at the offices of Jonathan Cape on 8 May, 1968. On 15 May, 1968, Tyrrell wrote to Maschler to express that he was confident that the terms of the award could be “agreed with speed and sweet reason”. In 1969, P. H. Newby became the first winner of the Booker Prize (then known as the Booker-McConnell Prize). | [

75,651,522 | St Anthony's Hall, Clontarf | St Anthony's Hall (Irish: Halla Naomh Antaine), previously known as St Anthony's Parish Church (Irish: Eaglais Pharóiste Naomh Antaine) and, before that, Contarf Town Hall (Irish: Halla an Bhaile Cluain Tarbh) is a former ecclesiastical building and, before that, municipal building in Clontarf Road, Clontarf, Dublin, Ireland. It is now used as a parish hall for St Anthony's Church.
After significant population growth, partly as a tourist destination but also associated with its development as a residential suburb of Dublin, the township of Clontarf appointed town commissioners in 1869. In the early 1890s, the town commissioners decided to erect a town hall: the site they selected on the north side of Clontarf Road was donated by the local land-owner, Colonel Edward Vernon, whose seat was at Clontarf Castle. The new building was designed by William George Perrott in the Gothic Revival style, built by Robert Farquharson in red brick and was completed in 1896. The design involved a gabled main frontage facing onto Clontarf Road. The side elevations of six bays each were fenestrated by pairs of lancet windows and flanked by buttresses.
In 1899, the town commissioners were replaced by an urban district council, with the building on Clontarf Road briefly serving as the meeting place of the new council. However, the town hall ceased to the local seat of government in 1900, when the urban district was annexed by the City of Dublin.
The Irish republican, Michael McGinn, became caretaker of the town hall in 1901, and also became keeper of the town hall library, which was established in the building in 1902. He played an important role in facilitating meetings of the supreme council of the Irish Republican Brotherhood at the town hall. It was at such a meeting in the town hall, in January 1916, that the supreme council agreed a proposal from Seán Mac Diarmada that a rebellion should proceed "at the earliest date possible". It was at the same meeting that the leader of the Irish Citizen Army, James Connolly, was persuaded to join the rebellion. In April 1916, another republican, Paddy Daly, was questioned in the town hall on his proposal to destroy the Magazine Fort in the Phoenix Park: the Easter Rising went ahead later that day.
The town hall, which had already started showing silent films re-opened after the First World War as a picture theatre in December 1919. After Michael McGinn's death, his wife, Catherine, became caretaker at the town hall and provided accommodation for republican leaders during the Irish War of Independence.
The building was converted into a chapel of ease in 1926. The main frontage facing onto Clontarf Road was refaced in rusticated granite. The new facing featured an arched doorway, which was dressed with an ashlar granite architrave and enhanced with a carved shield in the tympanum. The entrance was flanked by two small arched windows and, there was a tripartite mullioned window in the first floor. It went on to be a parish church in its own right, as St Anthony's Parish Church, in 1966.
After a modern Catholic Church was built for the parish just to the north in 1975, the original building was converted for use as the parish hall for the area and became known as St Anthony's Hall. The former presbytery at the back of the hall was demolished in 1998. | [
