75,679,744 | Carla Ronci | Carla Ronci (11 April 1936 – 2 April 1970) was an Italian consecrated lay woman who was declared Venerable by Pope John Paul II on 7 July 1997.
Born in Rimini, Emilia-Romagna, Ronci spent most of her life in Torre Pedrera [it], one of the city's northern frazioni. Aged 14, she was drawn to the Ursuline Sisters of Verona, with whom she later discerned a vocation. In 1961, following a short spell in the Ursuline novitiate, Ronci joined the secular institute Ancelle Mater Misericordiae of Macerata. She was notable for her service in her parish church, the Church of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel, and was particularly active in the church's liturgy, youth ministry, and catechesis. Ronci died of cancer in Rimini on 2 April 1970, aged 33.
Ronci is locally remembered as the "Vespa saint" for her use of the scooter, and often described as a "contemplative in action".
Ronci was born on 11 April 1936 in the "Aiuto Materno" maternity hospital in Rimini, to parents Mario Ronci, a fisherman, and Jolanda Casalboni, a fruit vendor. She was baptised two days later in the same hospital. The eldest of three children, she grew up in Torre Pedrera [it], a coastal, suburban frazione north of Rimini, in the parish of the Church of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel.
Ronci made her First Confession, First Communion, and Confirmation aged six years old. Her family's financial circumstances did not allow her to progress beyond elementary education: from her fifth grade, she learned to be a seamstress, and looked after a goat to procure fresh milk. In her spare time, Ronci was a babysitter and helped in the family shop.
Ronci began frequenting the Ursuline Sisters of Verona in 1950, aged 14, during the holy year proclaimed by Pope Pius XII. She was struck by the nuns who ran the kindergarten in Torre Pedrera, and began her spiritual journey, guided by the nuns and her parish priest. She joined the youth apostolate of Azione Cattolica, and was entrusted with catechising ten girls, who grew in number to thirty.
On 20 October 1956, Ronci took a private vow of chastity. On 19 August 1957, she made a vow of poverty. She expressed her desire to discern a religious vocation with the Ursulines, but was discouraged by her friends, family, and parish priest.
On 3 February 1958, with her mother's complicity, Ronci escaped to the Ursuline novitiate in Scanzorosciate, Bergamo. She was frequently visited by her father, a staunch communist, who took her home by force on 9 March 1958. Though Ronci returned to the novitiate, after four months, the Mother Superior decided that her family's resistance indicated Ronci's unsuitability for the religious life.
Returning home, Ronci played an active part in her parish, including in animating the liturgy, the maintenance of the parish library, the church's upkeep and financial management, a small cinema for children, and children's activities and catechesis.
In September 1960, Ronci met the secular institute Ancelle di Mater Misericordiae of Macerata, which she applied to join in 1961. On 6 January 1963, Ronci made her profession of vows, which she offered particularly for the sanctity of priests.
She continued to live in Torre Pedrera, and in October 1965, Ronci was entrusted with a small catechetical group for teenagers.
In August 1969, Ronci was diagnosed with liver cancer. Following the cancer's spread to her lungs, she was admitted to the Sant'Orsola Hospital in Bologna on 21 January 1970. On 1 April 1970, she was admitted to the "Villa Maria" clinic in Rimini for palliative care, where she was ministered the Last Rites. She died at 5.05pm on 2 April 1970, aged 33, and was buried in the Church of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel.
Ronci's postulator was Don Fausto Lanfranchi, a priest who was vice-postulator for Alberto Marvelli and Oreste Benzi, and postulator for Sandra Sabattini. Lanfranchi authored multiple editions of Ronci's biography, La vita è meravigliosa (Life is Marvellous).
Ronci was proclaimed Venerable by Pope John Paul II on 7 July 1997. She is remembered on the day of her death, 2 April.
Roci's marble funerary urn in the Church of the Blessed Virgin of Mount Carmel in Torre Pedrera remains a place of pilgrimage. A primary school in Torre Pedrera is named after Ronci. | [

The Athletic Field site began as a fairground and hosted the first Indiana State Fair in 1867. The site first had a ballpark in 1883 that ballpark was rebuilt in 1885. In 1925, the ballpark was torn down as the site was repurposed, remaining an athletic venue, where it continues to host athletics today containing the Indiana State University Memorial Stadium.
On October 20, 1908, Athletic Park hosted an exhibition game between the World Series Champion Chicago Cubs and the Detroit Tigers. The Cubs had won the world series just six days earlier. The Cubs and defeated the Tigers in the exhibition game by the score of 7-1. The game was arranged by Cubs pitcher Mordecai Brown a native of the area.

The ceremonies occurred before the Three-I League game between Terre Haute Tots and Peoria Tractors. Major League Baseball Commissioner Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis was a participant in the ceremonies.
In 1967, Indiana State University purchased the site and facilities and began playing football games at Memorial Stadium. The stadium has since undergone numerous upgrades and evolved into a football and soccer facility. Today, Memorial Stadium is located at 3300 Wabash Avenue in Terre Haute, Indiana.

75,679,823 | Ethel Bright Ashford | Ethel Bright Ashford (1883 – 1980) was an English local politician and one of the first women barristers.
She was born in Beckenham, Kent on March 18, 1883, the fourth of five children of Henry Bright Ashford and his wife Lydia, née Bridges. She attended Croydon High School and gained a BA from the University of London in 1906, and then pursued postgraduate study in social work and history at Woodbrooke College, Birmingham, the London School of Economics, and Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania from 1908–1912.
In 1912, Ashford was appointed Assistant Inspector and Official Lecturer for the National Health Insurance Commission. This work was interrupted by World War I, when she became managing director of the family business, Ashford & Ashford hosiery manufacturers, between 1917 and 1919 while her brothers were at war. During this time she became involved in the Women’s Municipal Party, which advocated for women in politics and recommended that women be admitted to the bar; and she co-wrote A Handbook to Local Government (1918) with Edith Place.
In 1919 she was elected to St Marylebone Borough Council as a councillor for Park Crescent Ward, a position she held until 1953.
When the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act was passed at the end of 1919, Ashford joined Middle Temple as soon as it reopened after Christmas and began studying for the bar. She was called to the Bar along with Helena Normanton (who had been admitted to Middle Temple two weeks before her) on November 17, 1922.
Ashford had a tenancy in New Court Chambers and did criminal and common law work, with a particular emphasis on local government law. She found her legal work ‘intensely interesting’ but not sufficient to fill her time or her financial needs. As well as continuing her local government work, she travelled around the country speaking to women’s groups.
She published Local Government: A Simple Treatise in 1929 and co-authored three books on Glen’s law with Randolph and Alexander Glen between 1933 and 1936, among other works on law and local history.
In 1939 she travelled to Nazi Germany with a pro-fascist group, The Link.
Her causes in later life centred around civic planning and the preservation of rural areas, including a campaign against air pollution with the Campaign to Protect Rural England in 1944.
Ashford died aged 97 in June 1980, at St Mary’s nursing home in Broadstairs, Kent. | [

75,679,916 | North Country Trail by state | The North Country National Scenic Trail spans eight U.S. states over its roughly 4,800 miles (7,700 km), traveling through North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont. The western end is at Lake Sakakawea State Park in North Dakota, and the eastern end is at a junction with the Appalachian Trail in Vermont's Green Mountain National Forest. As of 2023, most of the trail is in place, though about one-third of the distance consists of road walking; those segments are frequently evaluated by the North Country Trail Association for transfer to off-road segments on nearby public or private lands.
The route of the North Country Trail is described here from west to east. Along its total distance, the NCT traverses more than 150 public land units, including parks, forests, scenic attractions, wildlife refuges, game areas, and historic sites. Included at the federal level are ten National Forests. four units of the National Park system, and two National Wildlife Refuges. The trail also visits dozens of state parks, forests, gamelands, and historic areas, and several local/county forests and parks.
The North Country Trail spends about 453 miles (729 km) in North Dakota. The trail begins at Lake Sakakawea State Park in Mercer County, following footpaths in the state park (including a junction with the Lewis and Clark Trail) and then a series of roads until reaching the shore of Lake Audubon (a branch of Lake Sakakawea) and the Audubon National Wildlife Refuge. The trail is then on rural roads for a considerable distance through McLean and Sheridan Counties, visiting several lakes including Turtle Lake and the Chain of Lakes Recreation Area. Starting in Burleigh County it walks alongside most of the 73-mile-long (117 km) McClusky Canal, followed by a sojourn through Lone Tree Wildlife Management Area (North Dakota's largest).
The trail continues through Sheyenne Lake National Wildlife Refuge, follows the valley of the Sheyenne River for a considerable distance, then crosses US Highway 52 (US 52) near the town of Harvey in Wells County. The first of five overall crossings of North Dakota Highway 9 (ND 9) is found near the town of Bremen, and the trail passes through New Rockford in Eddy County, where it also crosses US 281. The NCT next passes through the towns of McHenry and Binford, where it joins ND 65 for several miles. The trail then trends to the southeast via several turns on southbound and eastbound rural roads, and passes through residential areas in Cooperstown, after which it joins ND 200 for a few miles.
In Griggs County, the NCT turns south and follows the valley of the Sheyenne River again. A brief walk along ND 22 is followed by a lengthy sojourn along the shores of Lake Ashtabula. Still traveling south, the NCT walks through Valley City and uses a local street to pass under Interstate 94 (I-94). The trail reaches Clausen Springs Wildlife Management Area and turns back to the east. The trail passes through the small village of Kathryn in Barnes County then turns south again and walks through Fort Ransom State Park, followed by the wildlife management area and town of the same name. Now trending to the southeast, the NCT walls through Lisbon in Ransom County, after which it turns primarily to the east then northeast and spends about 33 miles (53 km) on footpaths and old roads in Sheyenne National Grassland. The NCT then joins a series of rural roads and walks through the towns Walcott and Colfax in Richland County. Shortly after Colfax the trail uses a rural road to pass over I-29, and then it reaches Abercrombie where it follows ND 4 over the Red River and into Minnesota.
The North Country Trail spends about 869 miles (1,399 km) in Minnesota; this includes about 559 miles (900 km) of the official NCT route, after which it joins the preexisting Superior Hiking Trail for a further 310 miles (499 km). After entering Minnesota at the Red River, the NCT joins a long series of rural roads and soon passes through the town of Kent, after which it walks briefly on US 75. The trail turns southeast at Rothsay; in western Otter Trail County it uses a rural road to cross I-94, US 59, and the Pelican River in close succession. The NCT then walks through residential and commercial areas in Fergus Falls, the largest city it has yet visited, and then proceeds via footpaths through Prairie Wetlands Learning Center and Delagoon Recreation Area. The trail then makes a U-turn to the north and walks through the east side of Fergus Falls before returning to rural areas of Otter Tail County. Heading to the north, the NCT spends about six miles in Maplewood State Park, then turns primarily northeast to visit many small lakes in this region of Minnesota. The trail passes through Vergas and then passes over the US 10 expressway shortly before walking through Frazee.
Continuing to the north through lake country, the NCT spends more than 160 miles (257 km) in a succession of mostly contiguous public lands, starting with Hubbel Pond Wildlife Management Area in Becker County. This is followed by lengthy sojourns through Tamarac National Wildlife Refuge, Becker County Forest, Greenwater Lake Scientific and Natural Area, White Earth State Forest, Clearwater County Forest, Itasca State Park (including a crossing of US 71), Hubbard County Forest, Paul Bunyan State Forest, Cass County Forest, Chippewa National Forest, and Itasca County Forest.

After Cohasset, the NCT walks through considerable residential and commercial areas in Grand Rapids, including crossings of US 169 and US 2. Trending to the northeast and encountering several small lakes, the trail then walks through the towns of Coleraine, Taconite, and Marble in Itasca County, with two brief walks along US 169. The trail passes through a brief corner of Hill-Annex Mine State Park, and loosely follows US 169 through Nashwauk and Keewatin. The NCT uses rural roads around the west and north sides of Hibbing, utilizing several public parks, followed by a brief encounter with Chisholm and a walk through Buhl in St. Louis County. These towns are surrounded by various county forests and wildlife management areas. Still roughly following US 169 to the east, the NCT uses a suburban street to pass under the US 53 expressway and then enters extensive residential and commercial districts in Virginia, with a walk through parklands along that city's lakes. The trail continues to the southeast through Gilbert and then Biwabik. The NCT then passes through Vermilion Trail Park and walks for a short distance alongside Embarrass Lake, and then loosely follows the river of the same name to the northeast. Passing through extensive rural areas to the west and north of Embarrass Mountain, the trail reaches the town of Tower and then spends about eight miles on footpaths in Lake Vermilion-Soudan Underground Mine State Park, followed by several segments of St. Louis County Forest and then a small segment of Superior National Forest.
This is followed by a lengthy walk on MN 1 to the town of Ely, where the trail is alongside Miners Lake. The NCT then walks along MN 169 though Winton, and continues on rural roads for about 12 miles through another segment of Superior National Forest, followed by about 40 miles (64 km) of footpaths. After a brief semi-rural area, the trail continues on extensive wilderness footpaths for about the next 100 miles (160 km) in the main body of Superior National Forest and various tracts of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, just south of the Canadian border, until reaching a junction with the Superior Hiking Trail (SHT) near the north end of Swamp River Lake. This point is also a junction with the Border Route Trail. The NCT then joins the preexisting Superior Hiking Trail for the next 310 miles, heading southwest through more of Superior National Forest and six Minnesota state parks on or near Lake Superior. The NCT/SHT walks for a considerable distance through Duluth and its suburban areas, using a local park path to pass under I-35, followed by two local parks and a lengthy walk through Jay Cooke State Park. The trail then reaches the Wisconsin border, where the SHT ends but the footpath continues as the NCT into Wisconsin.
The North Country Trail spends about 215 miles (346 km) in Wisconsin. Upon exiting Minnesota's Jay Cooke State Park, the NCT crosses the state line into Wisconsin and turns south, briefly winding back into Minnesota again for about two miles (3.2 km) (the North Country Trail Association manages and maps this segment as part of Wisconsin). The trail then turns to the east and crosses the state line again, entering the protected MacQuarie Wetlands and Douglas County Forest. After some lengthy rural road walking, the trail passes through Pattison State Park and trends to the south, passing through another sector of Douglas County Forest which features significant footpath hiking. The trail turns back to the east and passes through wilderness lands at Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway. Several more miles though Douglas County Forest are followed by a crossing of US 53 and a walk through the town of Solon Springs in Douglas County. This is followed by another extensive stretch of wilderness hiking through Brule River State Forest and then Bayfield County Forest.
The wilderness footpath continues to the east through Chequamegon–Nicolet National Forest for several dozen miles, including sojourns through Rainbow Lake Wilderness and Porcupine Lake Wilderness. After exiting the national forest, the NCT returns to rural road walking, and passes through Mellen in Ashland County. This is followed by about nine miles (14 km) of footpaths through Cooper Falls State Park. Next is a lengthy hike through Iron County Forest, as the trail trends to the north. The trail exits the county forest for a few miles, crosses US 2, and then enters another segment of the county forest. The NCT briefly encounters the shore of Lake Superior at Saxon Harbor County Park, then joins a rural road to a remote crossing of the Montreal River at the Michigan state line.
The North Country Trail spends about 1,176 miles (1,893 km) in Michigan, and traverses both the Upper and Lower Peninsulas. After crossing the Montreal River out of Wisconsin, the NCT heads east through undeveloped areas in Gogebic County, followed by a long stretch of rural road walking until reaching Ottawa National Forest and a lengthy hike along the Black River. The trail briefly encounters Lake Superior at Black River Harbor Recreation Area, then turns back to the south then east through more national forest lands. After turning back to the north and walking along the Presque Isle River, the trail encounters Lake Superior again near Manabeznho Falls and then continues relatively parallel to the lakeshore, passing through several campgrounds. After crossing into Ontonagon County, the NCT turns inland through remote national forest lands, passing Lake of the Clouds and continuing through mostly contiguous parcels of Ottawa National Forest. There is a crossing of the West Branch of the Ontonagon River that sometimes requires a road bypass. After more than 150 miles (240 km) in Ottawa National Forest, the NCT walks through a forest unit protected by Baraga County and then walks through undeveloped lands along the Sturgeon River for about six miles to a crossing of US 41. Continuing eastbound through undeveloped areas of Baraga County, the NCT walks through the large and remote Craig Lake State Park.
After leaving the state park, the NCT continues to the east through undeveloped areas of Marquette County and then enters McCormick Wilderness. Next is a walk through two segments of Gwinn Forest Management Unit, including about four miles (6.4 km) within sight of Lake Superior. The trail then heads southeast and walks through Marquette for a considerable distance, mostly through parklands along the city's lakefront. After leaving the city, the trail heads east through rural areas within sight of the lakeshore and visits some more discontiguous segments of Gwinn Forest Management Unit. The NCT then turns southeast to Laughing Whitefish Falls State Park, and then hikes about 23 miles (37 km) through Hiawatha National Forest. The NCT then walks through Munising and encounters Lake Superior yet again, this time following the lake for more than 30 miles (48 km) through Pictured Rocks National Seashore. The trail then passes through Grand Marais and continues through undeveloped areas in Alger County. The trail walks alongside Lake Superior for about 20 miles (32 km) again in Shingleton and Newberry Forest Management Units.
The NCT then turns south away from Lake Superior and reaches the large and remote Tahquamenon Falls State Park, including two lengthy hikes along the Tahquamenon River. The NCT crosses the mouth of that river at Lake Superior and then heads south into another segment of Hiawatha National Forest and some more waking along the lakeshore. The NCT is in the national forest for more than 80 miles (130 km), including a near-encounter with Lake Michigan and a long walk along Brevoort Lake. The trail walks though St. Ignace for a considerable distance and then Straits State Park. The hiker then climbs onto the Mackinac Bridge (I-75) for the five-mile (8.0 km) crossing of the Straits of Mackinac to Michigan's Lower Peninsula. This crossing for pedestrians and hikers is only permitted during special "bridge walk" events.
After the bridge, the NCT walks through Mackinaw City and continues southwest through rural areas in Gaylord Forest Management Unit and Wilderness State Park, including a brief encounter with Lake Michigan. This is followed by stretches of rural road walking interspersed with various segments of Gaylord Forest Management Unit. The trail reaches Lake Michigan again at Petosky State Park and then walks for several miles through the city of Petoskey, including urban parklands along the Bear River. The NCT then heads southeast through additional remote segments of Gaylord Forest Management Unit, interspersed with occasional rural road walking. This is followed by more protected lands in the Traverse City Forest Management Unit. The trail walks a considerable distance through Kalkaska before returning to protected forest lands for several dozen miles, trending to the southwest. The trail crosses US 131 near Fife Lake in Grand Traverse County. In Wexford County, the trail passes into the Cadillac Forest Management Unit and walks for several miles alongside three stretches of the Manistee River, with another crossing of US 131.
The NCT next begins a sojourn of about 130 miles (210 km) through the Manistee sector of the Huron-Manistee National Forests, roughly parallel to the Manistee River, passing through occasional unprotected areas between national forest segments. The trail crosses the Muskegon River near a private campground in Newaygo County and then continues south on a series of rural roads In Kent County, the trail traverses Rogue River State Game Area and then heads east to Cedar Springs. In the center of that city, the NCT joins the White Pine Trail (a rail trail) and follows it south for about eight miles (13 km) to downtown Rockford. Here the NCT leaves the rail trail and heads east then south on a series of rural roads. The next points of interest are Canonsburg State Game Area and Seidman County Park. The trail then reaches Fallasburg County Park (where it crosses the Flat River) and Lowell State Game Area. The trail then turns south through residential and commercial areas in Lowell and continues on rural roads, passing over I-96 near Pratt Lake. In Barry County, the trail passes through Midddleville State Game Area and then walks through the town of Middleville. At that town's lakefront, the NCT joins the Paul Henry Trail (a rail trail) for about three miles (4.8 km) parallel to the Thornapple River, then continues on rural roads.
The NCT passes through extensive sections of Barry State Game Area and Yankee Springs State Recreation Area, followed by more rural road walking interspersed with undeveloped forest areas in southwestern Michigan. The trail walks briefly through Augusta and a small corner of Fort Custer State Recreation Area, and then heads east through the city of Battle Creek. The NCT mostly follows parklands along the Kalamazoo River for more than five miles (8.0 km) in Battle Creek, and then proceeds through suburban parks to the east of the city. At Historic Bridge Park, the trail uses a rural road to pass over I-94 then heads east on more rural roads, roughly parallel to the Kalamazoo River. The NCT then walks through downtown Marshall, followed by Albion, after which it heads south to Homer and Litchfield. In Hillsdale County, the trail continues through Jonesville and Hillsdale. In all of these towns, the trail often follows riverfronts or lakefronts. Now trending east again, the NCT next passes through Lost Nation State Game Area, then turns south to the Ohio border near the town of Waldron. The trail briefly follows the state line east on a farm road then turns south on another road into Ohio.
The North Country Trail spends about 1,076 miles (1,732 km) in Ohio, and about 90% of that distance is via the preexisting Buckeye Trail (BT), which forms a large loop throughout the state. The NCT shares a path with the Buckeye Trail through western, southern, and east-central Ohio, incorporating about two-thirds of that trail's total distance.
After entering Ohio from Michigan, the NCT continues south on rural roads, soon passing through the small town of Albion in Williams County, where it crosses US 20. The trail then passes over the Ohio Turnpike (I-80/I-90), walks through West Unity where crosses US 127 and Alternate US 20, and turns to the east. Here the NCT temporarily joins the Wabash Cannonball Trail (a rail trail). The NCT proceeds through Wauseon in Fulton County and continues on rural roads and then another segment of the Wabash Cannonball Trail. Just south of Swanton, the trail joins footpaths in Oak Openings Preserve Metropark and a small segment of Maumee State Forest, and then rejoins the Wabash Cannonball Trail again for a walk through Whitehouse. The trail then walks along State Route 64 (SR 64) for about two miles, over the US 24 expressway and into Waterville.
Along the Maumee River on the south side of Waterville, the NCT joins the route of the Buckeye Trail, and the two trails share the same path for more than 900 miles (1,400 km) ahead. The combined trail turns southwest and follows an old canal towpath and rural roads along the river for a considerable distance, passing through several local parks and preserves. In Henry County, the trail passes under the US 6 expressway and then walks through residential and commercial neighborhoods in Napoleon. Still following undeveloped lands along the Maumee River, the trail passes through the village of Florida and then walks through downtown Defiance.

To the north, the trail briefly walks alongside Leesville Lake in Carroll County then roughly follows the floodplain of Conolton Creek via rural roads to the northwest.
Outside of Zoar in northern Tuscarawas County, the North County Trail and Buckeye Trail finally separate after more than 900 miles together since the northwestern part of the state. The NCT heads northeast, using a rural road to cross the Tuscarawas River and then walking through Zoar. The trail follows several rural roads to the east and walks through Waynesburg in Stark County, followed by Malvern in Carroll County. The trail then reaches Hanoverton in Columbiana County and continues on rural roads. It walks along US 30 for about one mile, then follows more rural roads along Little Beaver Creek. At Lisbon, the trail walks along US 30 again through the town's center, followed by a stretch along SR 154 and a walk under the SR 11 expressway. The NCT then follows more rural roads, with a walk through a small disconnected segment of Beaver Creek State Park, followed by the larger main segment of the same park with footpaths alongside the creek of the same name. The trail then turns north onto more rural roads, then turns back to the east and northeast, with a footpath through Sheepskin Hollow Nature Preserve. The NCT then reaches the Pennsylvania state line via a rural road to the north of Ohioville.
The North Country Trail spends about 284 miles (457 km) in Pennsylvania. After crossing the state line via a rural road out of Ohio, the NCT immediately turns onto footpaths through State Game Lands 285 in Beaver County. The trail proceeds through undeveloped forest lands and walks through the small town of Darlington, then continues on a combination of footpaths and rural roads to the north. In Lawrence County it briefly joins Pennsylvania Route 168 (PA 168) to pass over the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-76) and then uses rural roads to pass under I-376. The trail proceeds through State Game Lands 148, then walks through Wampum, where it briefly follows PA 288 to cross the Beaver River. The NCT continues to the northeast on a variety of rural roads to McConnells Mill State Park, where it joins the preexisting Slippery Rock Gorge Trail and connected park trails. After that park, the NCT joins rural roads again, with a crossing of US 19 and an overpass at I-79. The NCT then enters Moraine State Park, where it joins the preexisting Glacier Ridge Trail for about the next 15 miles (24 km). After walking through the grounds of Jennings Environmental Education Center, the NCT continues to the northeast on rural roads, followed by long stretches of footpath hiking through two segments of State Game Lands 95, where Slippery Rock Creek is encountered again.
The NCT next walks through Parker and briefly joins PA 368 to cross the Allegheny River. The NCT then joins the Allegheny River Trail (a rail trail) to follow that river to the north for about the next 28 miles (45 km), traversing Foxburg and Emlenton, an underpass at I-80, and three former railroad tunnels along the way. In Venango County, the NCT switches to an intersecting rail trail, the Sandy Creek Trail, and heads to the southeast to a crossing of US 322. After that highway, the same old railroad grade continues ahead as the Clarion Highlands Trail, which takes the NCT through a portion of State Game Lands 45 and into Clarion County. Where that rail trail ends, the NCT continues on rural roads to the southeast, with a brief walk along US 322, followed by State Game Lands 63. and another brief walk along US 322 near Shippenville. This is followed by a lengthy footpath through another segment of State Game Lands 63, some more footpaths through undeveloped lands, another crossing of US 322, and then a trip through State Game Lands 72. The trail continues through undeveloped lands, roughly parallel to Toby Creek, until reaching Clear Creek State Forest where extended footpaths loosely follow the Clarion River. At the small village of Gravel Lick, the NCT reaches a junction with the preexisting Baker Trail, and the two trails follow the same path for about the next 15 miles (24 km).
The NCT continues north through Cook Forest State Park, followed by another segment of Clear Creek State Forest and State Game Lands 24. In Forest County, the trail crosses a border into Allegheny National Forest, through which it will hike for about the next about the next 99 miles (159 km). Most of this distance is on footpaths, with occasional minor road walks. In Warren County, the NCT briefly follows the same path as the popular Minister Creek Trail, and in McKean County it crosses US 6 near the town of Ludlow. The trail crosses the southeastern arm of the Allegheny Reservoir via a brief walk on PA 321 at Red Bridge Recreation Area. Near the New York Border, the NCT enters the northern segment of Allegheny National Recreation Area and uses a portion of the Tracy Ridge Hiking Trail System to walk alongside the reservoir for an extended distance. Near Willow Bay Recreation Area, the NCT reaches the New York border and continues as a footpath into Allegany State Park.
The North Country Trail spends about 690 miles (1,110 km) in New York State. After leaving Allegheny National Forest at the Pennsylvania state line, the NCT continues on footpaths through Allegany State Park. At the state line, the NCT also joins the preexisting Finger Lakes Trail (FLT), and the two trails follow the same path for about the next 430 miles (690 km) until the central part of the state. North of the state park, the trail joins New York State Route 417 (NY 417) through an interchange with I-86 and a walk through Shongo, then joins NY 353 for a bridge over the Allegheny River. The trail then joins a combination of rural roads and footpaths through undeveloped areas of Cattaraugus and Allegany Counties, trending to the northeast then southeast. Just after entering Steuben County, the trail uses a drainage tunnel under I-86 then walks along Almond Lake. Continuing to the east on a mix of footpaths and rural roads, the trail crosses I-86 again via a short stretch of NY 415 near the town of Bath.
The NCT/FLT continues in like fashion into the region south of the Finger Lakes. In Schuyler County, the trail walks through downtown Watkins Glen and walks around the southern end of Seneca Lake. The trail later walks through Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area and continues through forested lands in the region south of Ithaca, with footpaths through six different small state forest districts. In Cortland County, the trail follows the Tioughnioga River for several miles, and near Messengerville it uses a rural road to pass under I-81. The trail then trends to the north and passes through seven more small state forest districts and Tioughnioga Wildlife Management Area in Madison County.
At the northern edge of the wildlife area, the NCT and the Finger Lakes Trail finally separate, with the NCT continuing north via rural roads though Nelson Swamp Unique Area and the town of Cazenovia, where is crosses US 20. The trail continues on rural roads through Canastota; near Oneida it uses a rural road to pass over I-90. The trail then joins an old canal towpath for about seven miles through Old Erie Canal State Historic Park, After a brief jaunt through farmlands, the trail then heads east on the towpath of the more familiar Erie Canal for about two miles (3.2 km), and then walks through extensive residential and commercial neighborhoods in Rome. In that city, the trail traverses Fort Stanwix National Monument and then parklands along the Mohawk River.

The trail joins NY 185 for a half-mile-long bridge over the lake and into Vermont.
The North Country Trail spends about 69 miles (111 km) miles in Vermont. Via the bridge out of New York State over Lake Champlain, NY 185 becomes Vermont Route 17 (VT 17), which the NCT trail follows for a short distance before turning east onto VT 125 through Chimney Point State Park and two wildlife management areas. The trail uses a series of rural roads to the east, with a brief walk along VT 23 near Weybridge. The trail then walks through downtown Middlebury, with a crossing of US 7, a walk through Chipman Hill Park and undeveloped areas within town limits, and two more crossings of US 7. Next is a brief walk through East Middlebury, after which the trail enters Mooselamoo National Recreation Area and Green Mountain National Forest, following wilderness footpaths to the south and southeast for the rest of its distance. After about 12 miles in the national forest, the NCT joins the preexisting Long Trail and the two trails follow the same path to the south for the next 23 miles. At Blue Ridge Mountain in eastern Rutland County, the North Country Trail ends at a junction with the Appalachian Trail; at this junction the Long Trail continues through Vermont on the next segment of the Appalachian Trail. | [

] | The North Country National Scenic Trail spans eight U.S. states over its roughly 4,800 miles (7,700 km), traveling through North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, and Vermont. The western end is at Lake Sakakawea State Park in North Dakota, and the eastern end is at a junction with the Appalachian Trail in Vermont's Green Mountain National Forest. As of 2023, most of the trail is in place, though about one-third of the distance consists of road walking; those segments are frequently evaluated by the North Country Trail Association for transfer to off-road segments on nearby public or private lands. The route of the North Country Trail is described here from west to east. Along its total distance, the NCT traverses more than 150 public land units, including parks, forests, scenic attractions, wildlife refuges, game areas, and historic sites. Included at the federal level are ten National Forests. four units of the National Park system, and two National Wildlife Refuges. The trail also visits dozens of state parks, forests, gamelands, and historic areas, and several local/county forests and parks. | 2023-12-30T15:11:25Z | 2023-12-31T16:56:07Z | [

The author used letters from soldiers on both sides as sources.
Martin Crawford of University of Keele wrote that the subject is important, and that researchers on the subject "will need to deal with" the book's content. Crawford criticized "overblown" wording, "repetitive" statements, and "one-dimensionally made" and "too insistently" done conclusions.
Brian Dirck of Anderson University described the book as "sophisticated" and "scholarly", and that it "is an important addition to this growing body of literature." Dirck criticized how the work does not define what "conservative" and "liberal" mean, and he argued the book has "sometimes murky" organizing and style of writing.
Mark Grimsley of Ohio State University argued that the "fundamental argument" is "sound", but that the book does not properly "demonstrate" it, with what Grimsley describes as wrongly conflating "racism" with "politics". | [

75,679,928 | One-Dime Blues | One-Dime Blues is an album by the American musician Etta Baker, released in 1991. Baker was awarded a National Heritage Fellowship the same year.
The album was funded by the North Carolina Arts Council, which produced a documentary about Baker and One-Dime Blues. The recordings sessions took place over 21 months, between 1988 and 1990. "But on the Other Hand Baby" is a cover of the Ray Charles song. Baker played clawhammer banjo on "Marching Jaybird". She sang on "Broken Hearted Blues", an original song.
Spin wrote: "Extremely well polished, honest, and sensitive, her unique guitar sound is technically and spiritually magnificent." The News & Observer called the album "a powerful yet sensitive collection of mostly instrumental folk blues and parlor songs." The St. Louis Post-Dispatch deemed it "extremely folksy" blues. The Pittsburgh Press admired the "surprisingly strong vocal" on "Broken Hearted Blues".
AllMusic praised "the arresting vocals, prickly accompaniment, and commanding presence." Acoustic Guitar noted that "Baker's guitar work is characteristically deliberate, clear and lightly swinging whether she's addressing a blues, ragtime, or folk motif." | [

75,679,985 | You Want What We Got | "You Want What We Got" is a song by American heavy metal band Twisted Sister, released in 1986 as the second single from their fourth studio album, Come Out and Play (1985). The song was written by Dee Snider and produced by Dieter Dierks.
"You Want What We Got" was released in the US as the second single from Come Out and Play in February 1986. It followed "Leader of the Pack" which stalled at number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100. After the commercial disappointment of "Leader of the Pack", Atlantic Records originally intended to release "Be Chrool To Your Scuel" as Twisted Sister's next single, but the plans were scrapped after MTV banned its pre-made video. The label then decided against releasing a second single from the album in the US, but ultimately elected to release "You Want What We Got". Snider recalled in his 2012 autobiography Shut Up and Give Me the Mic: A Twisted Memoir, "The president of the label decided not to release a follow-up single to the failed 'Leader of the Pack'. This was insanity. We had sold 5 million records worldwide with Stay Hungry, and he wasn't going to give our new album a second shot?!"
Atlantic hoped the single would generate airplay on rock radio. David Fleischman, Atlantic's director of national album promotion, encouraged radio stations to play the track through the radio programming guide The Friday Morning Quarterback Album Report by writing, "Dee Snider went to Washington, appeared before a Senate sub-committee, and defended rock and roll. Don't let the spurious accusations of a handful of narrow-minded people dictate the boundaries allowing what music one may or may not be exposed to. Support the man and the band that supported you. Play Twisted Sister's 'You Want What We Got'. This is rock and roll."
The single was released in the UK on April 21, 1986.
Upon its release as a single, Cash Box noted that "You Want What We Got" "contains more of the feel and sentiment" of the band's 1984 hit single "We're Not Gonna Take It" than the lead single from Come Out and Play, "Leader of the Pack". They noted that "thunderous drums and Snider's scowling, turned-lip vocal predominate" on the track.
In the UK, Kevin Bryan of the Gloucestershire Echo described it as "another joyously over-the-top epic" from Twisted Sister and "good rabble-rousing rock". Dave Ling of Number One reviewed the single alongside Van Halen's "Why Can't This Be Love", writing, "Dee Snider and chums must be gritting their teeth. It's been three long years since they last graced Top of the Pops, and although their live shows are still captivating events, there's no disguising that 'You Want What We Got' sounds laboured and clumsy alongside Van Halen's effort. Sorry Dee." Dave Dickson of Kerrang! felt it was "not as classy a single" as "I Am (I'm Me)" or "We're Not Gonna Take It". He added, "It's hard, it's heavy, I'd love it to become a hit but somehow I just can't see it happening with this one."

75,680,015 | Pullathomas | Pullathomas (Irish: Poll an tSómais; also known as Kilcommon, Pollatomais, Pollatomish and Pollathomas) is a Gaeltacht village and townland in northwest County Mayo, Ireland. In the barony of Erris and parish of Kilcommon, it lies close to the mouth of Broadhaven Bay next to Sruwaddacon Bay. The townland's area is 685.59 acres (2.7745 km). Its population as of 2022 is 138.
The townland is also called Kilcommon after the ancient religious establishment of St. Coman situated here. Several slayings were recorded by the natives in Pullathomas when the Anglo-Normans came to Ireland.
Heavy autumn rainfall in the area of Dooncarton Mountain caused a series of 30 peat landslides between Pullathomas and Glengad on September 19th 2003, causing damages amounting to €620,000. A corner of the old graveyard was struck, sweeping graves into the sea. Several million Euros has since been spent in repairs.
Pollatomish Bog NHA is a designated area of protected low lying blanket bog about 7km south of the village. The blanket bog's surface holds moisture and sustains lush growths of bog moss lawns, primarily Sphagnum papillosum and S. capillifolium. Shallow pools dot the landscape, some filling with Bogbean (Menyanthes trifoliata), Lesser Bladderwort (Utricularia minor), Bulbous Rush (Juncus bulbosus), and various bog mosses (Sphagnum spp.). Moving higher up, the peat thins out, transitioning to heath-like vegetation, predominantly Ling Heather.
On the lower northern slopes, degradation due to grazing and erosion is evident, with grasses and sedges dominating the landscape. Species like Cottongrasses, Deergrass, Sweet Vernal-grass (Anthoxanthum odoratum), Green-ribbed Sedge (Carex binervis), Carnation Sedge (Carex panicea), and Heath Bedstraw (Galium saxatile) are among those thriving in this area.

75,680,034 | Centurium Capital | Centurium Capital (Centurium; Chinese: 大钲资本; pinyin: Dàzhēng Zīběn) is a Chinese private equity firm headquartered in Beijing, China. It is currently the controlling shareholder of Luckin Coffee.
Centurium has additional offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
In 2017, Centurium was co-founded by David Li and two other partners in Beijing. Li was previously the Head of Asia Pacific at Warburg Pincus.
The firm focuses on acquiring control of companies consumer, healthcare, business services and technology sectors in China. It looks to improve operational efficiencies of the companies and resolving deficiencies within them.
In March 2018, Centurium's debut USD-denominated fund, Centurium Capital Partners 2018 L.P. raised $2 billion. Its secured interest from foreign investors such as GIC, Temasek Holdings and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan.
Centurium planned on raising a second USD-denominated fund, with a target size of $2.5 billion and was close to reaching $2 billion in March 2020. However, in April 2020. it had put the fundraising on hold after its portfolio company, Luckin Coffee was involved in an accounting scandal. In April 2022, according to an SEC filing Centurium had raised $249 million from investors. In August 2023, Centurium reduced the target size of dthe fund to $1.5 billion.
Centurium's most notable investment is Luckin Coffee where it was one of its earliest backers. It invested $180 million in Luckin Coffee's Series A and B rounds. In May 2019, Luckin Coffee held its initial public offering on the Nasdaq raising $645 million. In January 2020, Centrium sold $232 million worth of Luckin Coffee shares via share placement. However shortly afterwards, Luckin Coffee was involved in an accounting scandal that fabricated more than $300 million of sales and was subsequently delisted and was required to pay $180 million in penalties to the SEC. In addition the management team including its CEO was replaced.
Luckin Coffee came up with a shareholders rights plan that would make it easier for Centrium to become a controlling shareholder. However it was opposed by other shareholders and claimed Centurium entered into an undisclosed share purchase agreement with Luckin Coffee that was not disclosed to the others. In January 2022, Centrium became the controlling shareholder of Luckin Coffee with over 50% of voting rights after acquiring the shares previously held by its co-founders via a consortium with IDG Capital and Ares Management. Centrium was involved in the restructuring of Luckin Coffee and injected cash into it so it could pay for shareholder litigation, bond payments and overseas restructuring costs. Centurium's restructuring strategy was to close down underperforming stores and increase the price of a cup of coffee by 60 per cent.

Vayson went to Sinobong National High School for his studies. alongside Miel Fajardo and Genisis Libranza, Vayson is also considered one of Agusan del Sur's skilled boxers.
In October 15, 2016, Vayson made his professional debut against Cotabato del Sur's Frankie Batuon, eventually, Vayson came out victorious via 3rd-round technical knockout, by October 2018 to September 2019, Vayson amassed a record of 8–0 before tying with subsequent IBF mini-flyweight champion, Rene Mark Cuarto.
After 2 years of Inactivity, Vayson returned against former IBO and the then current WBC International light-flyweight champion, Tibo Monabesa for Monabesa's WBC International title in February 27, 2022 at Holywings Club, Jakarta. Vayson and Monabesa would both show an incredible clash with Vayson scoring a knockdown in rounds 3 and 9 while Monabesa scored a knockdown in round 8, although, Vayson seemed like he outperformed Monabesa, the judges scored it: 94–94 even, 95–93 and 95–94 for Monabesa, causing Vayson's coach, Allan Alegria to file complaint afterwards. On March 7, 2022, the WBC declared the bout as no contest, stating: "The 10 judges who evaluated the fight during this process scored the fight in favor of the Philippine challenger by a wide margin", the WBC was also informed that the panel of officials were all local and not a neutral one, therefore, Monabesa would keep his title and Vayson would remain undefeated.
Vayson would fly to Dubai to challenge the then undefeated Indian boxer, Nutlai Lalbiakkima for the vacant ABCO Asian Continental light-flyweight championship, Vayson would outperform his opponent and would be granted a win via decision.

In December 2023, Vayson would move back down to the light-flyweight division for his upcoming bout against Ryuya Yamanaka at Kobe, Japan with the WBO Asia Pacific title at stake, although Vayson was again expected to lose at Japan, instead, Vayson shocked the former WBO mini-flyweight champion as he landed an uppercut that Yamanaka could not continue from en route to a scintillating second round technical knockout. | [

75,680,141 | Pioneer Bowl (HBCU) | The Pioneer Bowl was an annual American NCAA Division II college football bowl game contested between NCAA Division II teams from the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) and Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC), two athletic conferences traditionally consisting of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Between 1997 and 2012, the game was played 14 times in five different cities in the South.
Starting in 1997, the game was contested between teams from the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA) and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC), two Division II athletic conferences composed mainly of historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). No game was played in 2002 or 2008, and the final playing of the game took place in 2012. The 2013 edition was canceled, and the event was indefinitely suspended in 2014.
Tuskegee University had the most appearances and victories at the Pioneer Bowl, winning 7 times in 10 appearances. Until 2012, Tuskegee's regular season extended longer than most other Division II teams (including the Turkey Day Classic on Thanksgiving Day), which prevented the team from playing in the NCAA's Division II playoff tournament; the Pioneer Bowl was thus the only way Tuskegee could play in the postseason.
Winning teams and their scores appear in bold font.

75,680,145 | 737 Combi | The Boeing 737 Combi is a versatile aircraft that combines passenger and cargo capabilities in a single fuselage. It was derived from the popular Boeing 737 passenger jet, with modifications to accommodate both passengers and cargo.
Few important aspects of this model:
Design: The combi typically features a passenger cabin in the front or rear of the aircraft, with a cargo door and roller tracks installed on the fuselage floor for loading and unloading freight. This allows for quick and efficient conversion between passenger and cargo configurations based on demand.
Variants: Several variants of the 737 Combi were produced, including the 737-200C, 737-300QC, and 737-400F. Each variant had different passenger and cargo capacities, with the 737-400F offering the most cargo space.
Usage: The 737 Combi was popular with airlines operating in regions with mixed passenger and cargo demand, such as remote communities or areas with limited infrastructure. It was also used for transporting specialized cargo, such as live animals or perishable goods.

75,680,149 | John B. Esnard | John B. Esnard (1846 - June 2, 1931) was a Reconstruction era politician who served in the in Louisiana House of Representatives 1868-1870.
Esnard was born in 1846 to a slaveholder, in New Orleans and was of French descent. He was described as mulatto and when asked if he was a "colored man" he said "I cannot answer that; I do not know exactly whether I am or not". He served in the American Civil War on the side of the Union Army.
Esnard represented St. Mary Parish along with A. J. Demarest at the 1868 Louisiana Constitutional Convention. Along with P. B. S. Pinchback, O. C. Blandin and Auguste Donato, Jr he signed the new constitution but they registered there protest against Article 99 that they believed went against their Radical Republican views on universal suffrage.
He and Demarest were then elected to represent St. Mary Parish in the Louisiana House of Representatives. Due to threats made he fled north but returned soon after to take his seat and he served from 1868 until 1870.
Esnard moved to Los Angeles 18 years before his death there on July 2, 1931 at his home aged 85. He was survived by his wife Florentine K. Esnare, four sons and three daughters and he was buried at Calvary Cemetery.
One source "Some Negro Officers and Legislators in Louisiana" says that he was a senator for Iberia Parish from 1870 until 1876 but this does not concur with the contemporary newspapers and also fails to mention his election to the house so appears to be erroneous. | [

75,680,222 | Pioneer Bowl (1971–1982) | The Pioneer Bowl was an annual college football postseason game held at Memorial Stadium in Wichita Falls, Texas from 1971 through 1978 and again in 1981 and 1982. The game originated as an NCAA College Division regional final, then became a playoff game for Division II and Division I-AA.
The Pioneer Bowl was originally one of the four regional finals of the College Division, before it was subdivided into Division II and Division III in 1973. The game served as the championship for the Midwest Region in 1971 and 1972. At the time, there were no playoffs at any level of NCAA football. For the smaller colleges and universities, as for the major programs, the national champion was determined by polls conducted by the leading news wire services.
As Midwest Region final, the game succeeded the Pecan Bowl, which was played in Abilene (1964–67) and Arlington (1968–70). At the time, the other three regional finals were the Boardwalk, Grantland Rice, and Camellia bowls.
With the launch of Division II in 1973 and its full playoff system, the Pioneer Bowl became one of the two Division II semifinals (with the Grantland Rice Bowl) for the first three years, and then became the championship game for two years. For the inaugural season of Division I-AA in 1978, the Pioneer Bowl became the new division's title game. Wichita Falls then retained the rights to the Pioneer Bowl name during a two-year hiatus, while the I-AA championship was decided in Florida in 1979, and in the Camellia Bowl in California in 1980. The Pioneer Bowl again hosted the I-AA title game in 1981 and 1982.
The game never quite sold out its 14,500-seat venue, though in most years the stadium was nearly full. If local press is any indication, the crowd of "only 11,257 fans" that attended the 1982 game was considered a disappointment. The bowl folded after Charleston, South Carolina outbid Wichita Falls for the next contract to host the I-AA championship.
"Pioneer Bowl" was used in 1993 as the name of a fictional bowl game played at the Alamodome in the television series Coach.

75,680,258 | Jimmy Squibb | Cyril Maurice Squibb (21 November 1921 – 30 August 2004) (known as Jimmy Squibb during his speedway career) was an international motorcycle speedway rider from England. He earned four international caps for the England national speedway team and four caps for the Great Britain team.
Squibb, born in Poole, began his British leagues career riding for Southampton Saints during the 1947 Speedway National League Division Three season. He helped Southampton win the National Trophy in 1948, became the club captain and continued to be a prominent rider for the south coast team until midway through the 1951 season, when Southampton withdrew from the league. He needed a new club and was signed by Harringay Racers for a fee of £800, to ride in the top division.
In 1952, he was approached by Wigan under a new promotion but eventually left Harringay for his home town club Poole Pirates, which turned out to be a good move because the club won the league and cup double. He rode five seasons for Poole from 1952 to 1956 and won another league and cup double in 1955.
His final season at Poole was in the top division of British speedway and was one to forget because he was involved in a horrific crash that resulted in the death of Malcolm Flood in April 1956.
He returned to Southampton from 1957 to halfway through the 1959 season, when he switched to Poole again. In 1960, he moved to join the Ipswich Witches and was with them up to the point when they withdrew from the league in 1962. This forced a move to the Provinical League with Plymouth Devils, where he topped the team averages at 9.74.
Another fractured season followed in 1963, which saw his new club New Cross Rangers disband and Squibb join Exeter Falcons for the remainder of the season. He found stability in 1964 with Exeter and was with them in 1965 when the new British league was formed. Squibb had previously captained Great Britain and continued to perform at a high level and as he entered his 24th year of racing he joined Cradley Heathens for the 1970 British League season.
He raced with Eastbourne Eagles in 1973 and Canterbury Crusaders in 1974 and 1975, the latter his 29th and final season. | [

75,680,340 | History of Tocco da Casauria | The history of Tocco da Casauria traces its origins to the foundation of the first settlement of Interpromium in ancient times. After the disappearance of that settlement in the Middle Ages, the present town of Tocco was formed, developing around the two most important town buildings (Caracciolo Castle and the church of St. Eustace) as a result of a succession of rivalries between the Abbey of San Clemente a Casauria, to which the territories of Tocco belonged de jure, and lords of Germanic origin who attempted to usurp them by force.
Although Tocco is of medieval foundation, there was already a settlement (pagus) called Interpromium in its territory in ancient times. Its location was not near the present town of Tocco (placed on an elevated area), but on the valley floor where the Via Tiburtina Valeria (today traced by State Road 5) passed near the plateau where the church of Our Lady of the Angels is today. The ancient settlement was about 25.5 km away from Corfinium. It has not yet been established with absolute certainty which Italic people inhabited it, whether the Marrucini or the Peligni, although historians consider the Peligni to have been more likely. Regarding its destruction, it is believed to have been caused by natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods, although the area of the ancient settlement was continued to be inhabited until the early Middle Ages.
The most important document on medieval Tocco is the Chronicon Casauriense written by the monks of the Abbey of San Clemente a Casauria, which mentions Tocco for the first time in 872 as a curtis that was bought by the first abbot of San Clemente, named Romano, thus bringing that curtis under the jurisdiction of the Abbey. In the Chronicon it is recorded that the economy of the curtis of Tocco was predominantly agricultural, and the settlement in the 9th century began to gain importance over the settlements on the valley floor (including the one that had continuity with ancient Interpromium).
The emergence of the village of Tocco is linked to the process of medieval encastellation by which local and ecclesiastical lords sought to gain greater power and control over territories, with the territory of Tocco in particular being the subject of disputes between local rural lords of Germanic origin and the nearby Abbey of San Clemente a Casauria, in which the latter saw itself as the target of numerous territorial usurpations. This contention led to the founding of several castles in the area used to assert power over the various territories.
When the Abbey of St. Clement was destroyed by a Saracen raid in the first half of the 10th century, there was a Frank called Lupo, son of an official of Emperor Otto III of Saxony called Ludegerius, who usurped two unfortified settlements (villae) in the Cantalupo area where there were bitumen mines, then a possession of the Abbey, and in 969 he had a castle (castrum) built there.
In 1016 Alberic, Lupo's son, usurped the settlement of Fara Inter Montes (located at the bottom of the Pescara Valley) from the Abbey, also building a castrum there. In the same year he, after forcibly imposing his authority on the local inhabitants, also built a castle in the area of the present town of Tocco. The Abbot of St. Clement Adam II reacted in 1019 with a military operation of infantrymen and horsemen with which he conquered the castle of Tocco, which was destroyed after being set on fire. Following the event, in the same year the Chronicon Casauriense referred to Tocco as a simple villae (unfortified settlement) and no longer as a castrum.
Part of the territory of Tocco was then ceded by the Abbey to Gerard, son of Alberic and lord of nearby Popoli, up to the third generation in exchange for a canon. However, the conflict between the Abbey and Alberic's heirs continued, and in 1024 the abbot of San Clemente, Guido, complained in a letter to the emperor about the usurpation of the curtis of Tocco to the detriment of the Abbey. Between 1025 and 1026 the Abbey managed to repossess several territories in the Tocco area, but possession of the curtis proper remained with Alberic's heirs (Gerard and Theodinus), who fortified it back into a castrum. In 1056 the territory of Cantalupo also returned under the control of the Abbey.
In 1140 the territory of Tocco became part of the county of Manoppello, and from the 13th century the urban center was developed in stonework around the two most important buildings in the settlement at that time, the church of St. Eustace (whose existence was already reported in the Chronicon Casauriense on July 1, 1169) and the castle (rebuilt at the behest of Frederick II of Swabia).
In 1317 the church of St. Francis (now the church of St. Dominic) was built in the village and the Friars Minor Conventual along with the Third Order Regular of St. Francis settled there.
On September 9, 1349 there was an earthquake in the central-southern Apennines that caused severe damage to the town and killed many inhabitants.
In the second half of the 13th century the County of Manoppello, of which Tocco was part, was fragmented among various feudal lords and control of Tocco went to Matteo de Plexiaco, lord of Manoppello and Pescosansonesco.
The earthquake in south-central Italy on December 5, 1456 killed about 350 people in Tocco and razed much of the town to the ground.
During the First Italian War (1494-1495) Charles VIII of France passed through Abruzzo on his descent into Italy against the Aragonese, and on his passage several towns abandoned their allegiance to the Aragonese and sided with the French, including Tocco.
On December 15, 1578, the Dominican friars officially settled in Tocco in the convent, which no longer exists, of Santa Maria della Pace.
Records show that in 1550 the lord of Tocco was the nobleman Camillo Caracciolo, but control of the village passed to Ferrante d'Afflitto, count of Loreto Aprutino, in 1585. During the 1600s, Ferrante d'Afflitto carried out several important works in the village, such as the construction of the convent and church of St. Anthony of Padua for the Capuchin friars and the restoration of the church of Our Lady of Grace and the church of St. Eustace. Later, again during the 1600s, control of Tocco changed again, this time from the d'Afflittos to the Pinelli family, who ruled the town for centuries until the Unification of Italy.
During the plague epidemic of 1656 the town's parish priest Don Gualtieri Mattucci recorded the deaths day by day beginning on August 1, 1656 and ending on January 1, 1657, the day he noted the end of the contagion. The plague of 1656 killed 590 people in Tocco in a population of about 1300-1500.
On November 3, 1706, an earthquake in the Maiella area destroyed much of the town and killed about a hundred people in the village. Among the buildings that were totally destroyed were the Ducal Palace and most of the churches in the village. In addition to the damage to buildings, the earthquake was also the cause of landslides in the village that caused a temporary halt to agriculture in Tocco. The reconstruction of the village took about thirty years.
During the 1730s Tocco was ruled by Duke Francesco Pinelli, who because of his despotic manner of behavior was frowned upon by the people, clergy and local nobility. Some citizens of Tocco therefore wrote a memorial against him to the court of Chieti, which ruled on June 23, 1737, by a decree of King Charles III of Spain, that Francesco be removed from Tocco. Later he was also ordered to appear before the Grand Tribunal of Naples, which confirmed the previous sentence. However, the Duke, after much pressure, managed in 1739 to rule Tocco again and take revenge against those who accused him.
Toward the end of the century, between 1794 and 1795 there was a major smallpox epidemic in the village that killed about a hundred people.
Following the French invasion of Naples in 1806, a Napoleonic kingdom of the same name was founded with the French victory, and Tocco reentered the Chieti district. Following the French conquest there were the Napoleonic suppressions of religious orders. Convents were also closed in Tocco, and the one of the Dominicans was initially used as military barracks for the gendarmerie, but by a decree of December 29, 1814, the property of the former convent was ceded to the municipality of Tocco, which used it to put its offices there. Even after the subsequent French retreat, the former convent remained the property of the municipality and did not return to its old religious function.
Between 1834 and 1836 a cholera epidemic spread in the Kingdom of Naples, and in Tocco the sanitary commission took precautions in this regard; houses and premises were disinfected with lime and roadblocks were set up within the town. By order of the intendant of Abruzzo Citra in a letter dated September 8, 1836, the Capuchin convent was used as a hospital for cholera patients. Pharmacist Beniamino Toro, originally from Cansano, moved to Tocco in the early 1800s and in 1817 began the business of making centerbe liqueur in his Tocco pharmacy. The liquor's popularity grew during the cholera epidemic as it was used as a disinfectant and remedy for nausea.
In the years leading up to 1848, cultural relations between Tocco and Chieti intensified because of the Tocco people who joined Chieti's political and cultural circles.
On March 23, 1848, the First Italian War of Independence broke out between the Kingdom of Sardinia and the Austrian Empire. In aid of the Kingdom of Sardinia other Italian states also sent contingents of troops, and among them was the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, of which Tocco was part. Bourbon troops traveling through northern Italy stopped in Tocco in a festive town atmosphere where tricolors were displayed.
On March 15, 1848, riots broke out in Naples and a few days earlier, on May 7, there were violent clashes in Abruzzo at Pratola Peligna between the people and the National Guard. News of the riots reached Tocco and a group of Tocco peasants planned an insurrection in the village for March 20 during the feast of the patron saint. However, Domenico Stromei, a well-known poet in the town, after learning of this warned the lords of Tocco, who sent the gendarmerie to the town. On the morning of March 20, about 20 mounted gendarmes entered Tocco, and when the procession for the celebration of St. Eustace reached the Ducal Palace (the castle), a group of armed commoners arrived ready to start a riot, but the crowd that was already there for the procession did not side with them and instead railed against them. The rioters, therefore, retreated and there were no clashes.
Following the various uprisings in the Kingdom there came state repression, and in May 1849, a year after the failed uprising in Tocco, Bourbon troops arrived in the village to search Stromei's home and store despite the fact that the previous year he had warned the authorities of the planned uprising by the peasants. All the letters in his possession were seized but he was not arrested. In the following years there were other house searches in Tocco for political reasons and 3 citizens were arrested.
In 1860, during the Expedition of the Thousand, riots broke out in Tocco, so the mayor requested the royal authorities to send a detachment of gendarmerie troops to Tocco from Chieti to maintain order. When Victor Emmanuel II of Savoy entered the territory of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies to meet Garibaldi in Campania, he passed through Abruzzo and on October 19, departing from Chieti on his way to Popoli, he passed over the territory of Tocco in the hamlet of Francoli along the Via Tiburtina Valeria where he was cheered by a jubilant crowd.
After the Proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy in 1861, there arose the problem of having to give a name to the municipality of Tocco to distinguish it from a municipality of the same name in the Province of Benevento. At a meeting of the City Council on November 26, 1862 this was discussed. It was proposed as a name "Tocco di Abruzzo" approved by 6 votes to 1 and "Tocco Tremonti" proposed by the councilman who voted against the other proposal, so a unanimous decision was not reached. In the end, the choice for the decision on the new name was entrusted to the Prefect who established the name "Tocco Casauria" because of its historical and geographical proximity to the Abbey of San Clemente a Casauria, a decision that was finally made official by a Royal Decree in January 1863.
Following the Unification of Italy, there was a dispute between the municipalities of Tocco and Salle, both of which claimed ownership of an area of land between the two municipalities, the "Stazzo di Carnevale," a plateau with a snowfield that was used for both agriculture and grazing. In 1864 the authorities established that the ownership of this area belonged to the municipality of Salle.
After the Unification of Italy, the phenomenon of post-unification brigandage began, which also involved the territory of Tocco; evidence of this can be found in the essay Il Bel Paese written by the geologist Antonio Stoppani, who visited Tocco in 1876 and described in his book the fear felt in the area due to the presence of brigands who carried out raids in the town.
In 1863, the first oil well drilled by mechanical means in Italy (and among the first in Europe) was used in Tocco. This was the work of industrialists Maurizio Laschi of Vicenza and Carlo Ribighini of Ancona, pioneers of mechanical oil extraction.
In the mid-nineteenth century Beniamino Toro began to have a palace built in the town for the purpose of using it as a dwelling and centerbe manufacturing plant and it was completed in 1870. Also in that year, one of Abruzzo's first mutual aid workers' societies was founded in Tocco.
On March 1, 1873, the Pescara-Popoli section of the Rome-Sulmona-Pescara railway was inaugurated. This railway line also passed over the territory of the municipality of Tocco, and as early as 1871 (since before the railway itself was inaugurated) the municipality had been lobbying for the construction of a station to serve the town. It was built only decades later along with a bridge over the Pescara River to reach it and was inaugurated on October 17, 1894.
In 1910, the first turbines were put in place to produce electricity at the Tocco hydroelectric power plant on the Pescara River.
On January 13, 1915, the Avezzano earthquake also caused severe damage in Tocco. There were several collapses, many religious buildings suffered damage and in particular the sacristy of the church of St. Eustace was destroyed. The Ducal Palace also suffered major collapses.
Fascism took hold in the village from before the March on Rome, and the phenomenon of squadrismo against anti-fascists involved Tocco as well with some incidents.
During the period of the Fascist regime, the urban center of Tocco was particularly developed in the area of Via Roma. Public works were built in the village and there were various restorations of churches and public areas. The town's first school building was also built, the project for which was begun in 1926 with the purchase by the municipality of private land in the area of today's Piazza Domenico Stromei with a view to a future school building that was begun in 1935. In 1923 the war memorial by Torquato Tamagnini was placed and unveiled.
Between 1925 and 1926 the fascistissime laws were enacted, which, among other things, provided that the functions previously performed by the mayor, town council and city council were transferred to a podestà appointed by the government by royal decree, and on April 22, 1927 the installation of the first podestà Giorgio Ventura took place in Tocco.
On January 2, 1927 the Province of Pescara was established, which also incorporated the municipality of Tocco da Casauria, previously belonging to the Province of Chieti.
The Maiella earthquake of 1933 struck Tocco with an intensity of VIII on the Mercalli scale causing some injuries among the population but no deaths. The houses that suffered damage were surveyed as: 38 damaged irreparably, 58 severely and 517 slightly; in total, the estimated damage to private homes amounted to 344,067 liras.
During World War II, following the events of September 8, 1943, the Germans settled on the Gustav Line. Tocco, being north of the Line, was occupied and the Germans settled in various public and private buildings in the town. After the occupation, Tocco was also affected by Allied bombing: on one occasion the town's hydroelectric power plant was bombed, while on another occasion, on the morning of January 25, 1944 around 9:30 a.m., a single British air force plane bombed the town of Tocco causing civilian deaths and damage to buildings.
On June 8, 1944, the evening before withdrawing from Tocco, around 8 p.m. the Germans blew up a bomb and ammunition depot near the town's train station. The following day they left Tocco at 3 p.m. departing for L'Aquila, and on June 10 Allied troops entered the town. Following the arrival of the Allies, in the transitional constitutional period the parties chose as mayor Beniamino Toro (who previously served as podestà in the village from 1929 to 1943), who administered from July 8, 1943 to September 2, 1944, and was later replaced by Emilio di Donato until March 26, 1946. In the first democratic local elections after World War II, the Christian Democrats won in Tocco with their mayoral candidate Vittorio D'Angelo.
In 1954, the birth house of Francesco Paolo Michetti, a famous artist from Tocco, was turned into a house museum.
In 1960 Tocco underwent major changes in its town center. Due to an ordinance of the public works department, several historic houses on the slope of Porta del Borgo towards the hill along with the Monte dei Morti church were demolished, as they turned out to be buildings still unsafe from the 1933 Maiella earthquake that damaged them. Also in the Porta del Borgo area, the fountain with the obelisk dedicated to Giordano Bruno was demolished, while in today's Via Santa Liberata the church of Santa Liberata was demolished.
On May 7, 1984 there was an earthquake in central and southern Italy that struck Tocco with an intensity of VI on the Mercalli scale. There were 2 evacuation orders and some religious buildings were declared unfit for use.
In 1992 the town's wind farm was established with 2 wind turbines of 200 kW, which would later be upgraded to a total capacity of 4 MW in 2009.
The 2009 L'Aquila earthquake caused damage to several building aggregates and individual buildings in Tocco, including the historic town hall, the Church of St. Eustace and the Domenico Stromei Middle School being declared unusable.
In 2016, earthquakes in central Italy also hit Tocco causing damage in the town. | [

75,680,412 | Damophilus (painter) | Damophilus (in Ancient Greek: Δαμόφιλος) was an ancient Greek painter and coroplast.
Damophilus was probably from Magna Graecia and worked in Rome. Along with his colleague Gorgasus, he was responsible for the decoration of the Temple of Ceres, which was consecrated in 493 BC and located between the Circus Maximus and the Aventine. He was responsible for the decoration of the west side of the temple. During the work, the oldest Etruscan decorative reliefs were removed, framed, and recycled. Damophilus and Gorgasus worked in the Greek style. They created acroteria made of terracotta and painted murals. The works were signed in the form of the artist's epigrams. During later renovations, however, the works were preserved. Today, none of this has been transmitted, at least not to be assigned.

75,680,442 | Bank of Saxony | The Bank of Saxony (German: Sächsische Bank) was a German public bank founded in 1865, based in Dresden. It issued its own banknotes until 1935.
The Sächsische Bank zu Dresden (Bank of Saxony at Dresden) was founded with a state concession on 18 July 1865 and a capital of 5 million thalers. In 1869 it settled its head office in the former Hôtel de Pologne, a historic building in the center of Dresden. In 1873 the capital was increased by 5 million thalers, and later changed to 30 million marks.
With the founding of the German Empire in 1871, individual states such as the Kingdom of Saxony lost their right to legislate with regard to the monetary system. The Reichsbank established by imperial legislation of 14 March 1875 did not receive a monopoly on the issue of banknotes, however, and the existing local central banks retained the right to issue banknotes to the extent that was set out in an appendix to Section 9 of the law. Among these, the Leipziger Bank renounced note-issuance in 1875, the Chemnitzer Stadtbank in 1890, and the Leipziger Kassenverein in 1890, leaving the Bank of Saxony as the only note-issuing bank in Saxony, whose banknotes that could be circulated throughout the empire. From 1888 onwards, it also offered its customers commission-free check and giro transactions.
After the hyperinflation of 1923, the Weimar Republic passed the Private Central Bank Act of Template:Ate, which capped the amount the Bank of Saxony could issue at a maximum of 70 million Reichsmarks annually. The bank's share capital was changed to 15 million Reichsmarks in 1924. Since the 1920s, the Bank of Saxony also operated bus routes through subsidiaries, which often took over feeder services to the state railway lines.
Like its surviving peers the Bank of Baden, Bayerische Notenbank, and Württembergische Notenbank, the Bank of Saxony was eventually deprived of it right to issue banknotes by Nazi legislation of 18 November 1933, with effect on 31 December 1935. To avoid liquidation, it cooperated with the Sächsische Staatsbank [de] and took over the latter's customer business on 1 January 1937. In 1945 the Sächsische Staatsbank held 80% of the capital of the Bank of Saxony.
In 1945, both the Sächsische Staatsbank and the Bank of Saxony were expropriated without compensation by the Soviet occupation authorities. The Bank of Saxony was eventually deleted from the commercial register in 1947. Its holdings in West Germany were held in a fiduciary entity appointed by the West German Federal Finance Minister from 1950 to 1980. These assets were finally liquidated and paid off by 1981. | [

75,680,521 | Gerhard Grüneberg | Gerhard Grüneberg (10 August 1921 – 7 April 1981) was a German politician and high-ranking party functionary of the Socialist Unity Party (SED).
In the German Democratic Republic, he served as the First Secretary of the SED in Bezirk Frankfurt (Oder) and was a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the SED. From the 1960s to the early 1980s, he was the powerful SED Agriculture Secretary, instituting various reforms to the GDR's collectivized agricultural sector.
Grüneberg grew up in humble circumstances in Lehnin, Brandenburg. His parents were members of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) since 1919 and 1928, respectively. From 1928 to 1933, Grüneberg was a member of the Jung-Spartacus League.
After completing elementary school, Grüneberg learned the trade of a bricklayer (1936–1939) and worked in this field until his conscription into the Kriegsmarine in the spring of 1941. He served on various ships, reached the rank of a Maat, and was awarded the Iron Cross, 2nd class.
In July 1943, Grüneberg married Elly Lehmann, with whom he had two children. After the war, he was captured by the British and released in August 1945, after which he worked as a bricklayer in Oldenburg, Lower Saxony.
Grüneberg moved to Brandenburg in the Soviet Occupation Zone at the turn of 1945/46. On 1 March 1946, he joined the KPD, which merged with the SPD later that year to form the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED).
Initially, he continued working as a bricklayer and in 1947, spent around six months as a Neulehrer in Oranienburg. The SED then delegated him to the Niederbarnim District Party School. Gerhard Grüneberg initially worked in the SED local leadership in Oranienburg and, starting from September 1, 1947, served as the department head for party education, recruitment, culture, and education in the SED district leadership in Guben.
At the age of just 26, he became the First Secretary of the district in 1948, the highest official in the region. In 1948, he attended the state party school in Schmerwitz near Wiesenburg/Mark. After two years as the First Secretary, the SED brought Grüneberg to the Brandenburg State Leadership in 1949. In the state's inner circle of power, the secretariat, he was in charge of cadre work.
With the dissolution of the states in 1952, Grüneberg moved to the SED Bezirk Frankfurt (Oder) Leadership as the First Secretary. Alongside his work, he completed a distance-learning program at the "Karl Marx" Party Academy, earning a diploma in social sciences.
In 1958, Grüneberg achieved his next career advancement. He became the secretary of the SED Central Committee for Governmental and Legal Affairs and concurrently became a member of the Volkskammer.
On 13 December 1959, he became a candidate member and on 15 September 1966, a full member of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the SED. The Politburo appointed him as the head of their agricultural commission.
In 1960, he became the Secretary for Agriculture of the SED Central Committee. From 4 July 1962, Grüneberg also served as the 'Minister for Coordinating Tasks in Agriculture' and was a member of the Presidium of the Council of Ministers in 1962/63. Additionally, in 1963, he took charge of the Bureau for Agriculture at the Politburo, became a member of the Council for Agriculture and Food Economy, and from 1966, a member of the Presidium of the GDR Research Council.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Grüneberg was the key agricultural policymaker of the SED and thus the GDR. As a consequence, he implemented many ideas aimed at industrializing the collectively managed agriculture since 1960. The most significant aspect became the gradual separation of animal and plant production, starting in the mid-1960s. This was particularly evident under the leadership of Erich Honecker, under whom Grüneberg expanded his power after falling out of favor with Walter Ulbricht in 1969 due to 'exaggerations.'
By the late 1970s, it became evident that the systematic operational separation between arable farming and animal husbandry was a failure, and the sizes of the farms became almost unmanageable. This led to internal criticism of Grüneberg – notably by the Central Committee Secretary for Economics, Günter Mittag. Grüneberg, together with his ally Bruno Kiesler (Head of the Agriculture Department of the Central Committee), attempted to alleviate the consequences through increased cooperation, which yielded limited success.
Even before his death, an agricultural policy shift began, intensifying under his successor as the Central Committee Secretary for Agriculture, Werner Felfe.
Felfe was awarded the Patriotic Order of Merit in 1959, 1964 and 1971 and the Karl Marx Order in 1979.
Grüneberg died in 1981 at the age of 59 from a tumor. A state funeral took place at the SED Central Committee House in Berlin.
He was interred at the Memorial of the Socialists at the Friedrichsfelde Central Cemetery in Berlin-Lichtenberg. Paul Verner delivered the eulogy. | [

75,680,574 | Ancrum House | Ancrum House was a Georgian-style manor house constructed from 1925 to 1928 in Delhi, Delaware County, New York. The house was constructed for Angelica Livingstone Gerry (1871–1960) by the firm Cram & Ferguson (managed by Ralph Adams Cram and Frank W. Ferguson). Antrum House (demolished in 1963) is historically noteworthy for its formal gardens, designed by the famous landscape architect Fletcher Steele.
Angelica Livingston Gerry was a great-granddaughter of Elbridge Gerry, a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence and the 5th Vice President of the United States. Angelica Gerry's parents were Elbridge T. and Louisa Gerry. In 1867, Elbridge Thomas Gerry (1837–1927) married Louisa Matilda Livingston (1836–1920), who was immensely wealthy. Angelica Gerry was also a great-granddaughter of Morgan Lewis — Morgan Lewis was the governor of New York state from 1804 to 1807 and the 2nd son of Francis Lewis, a signer of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. Through family inheritance originating from Robert Livingston the Elder and his son Robert Livingston the Younger and eventually (in 1867) handed down to the Gerry family, Morgan Lewis and his wife Gertrude (née Livingston) received almost 20,000 acres and in 1820 had their mansion built in the Catskills next to a mountain lake. They named their newly built estate "Lake Delaware". From the marriage of Elbridge T. and Louisa Gerry, there were two sons, Robert Livingston Gerry Sr. and Peter Goelet Gerry, and four daughters — Angelica, Mabel (1872–1930), and two who died young. As part of her share of the Gerry inheritance, Angelica Gerry received a 200-acre parcel of land.
Angelica Gerry named her inherited land "Ancrum" in honor of the Scottish village Ancrum, where her ancestor Robert Livingston the Elder was born. In 1925 she hired Fletcher Steele to design the formal gardens for Ancrum House. The project became the largest of his career. His work on the project extended, with many interruptions, over twenty-three years. He produced over 500 plans and drawings for the project. She was a client and a patron, but not really a friend or a partner in the design work. The extensive correspondence between them contains issues of finance and rarely of aesthetics. Steele designed a huge garden, divided into several areas, with long shady walks, interrupted by a few open sunny areas, with flowers surrounded by simple borders. There were splendid outdoor rooms and garden walks with spectacular views. He called the garden's main diagonal axis the "Overland Walk". He designated some of the other areas as the "West Garden", the "Flower Garden", and the "Lilac Garden". The Flower Garden had geometric patterns and converging walks inspired by 17th century garden design, but the rest of Antrum House's gardens were more in the Georgian style. The garden landscape had a pergola and a nut orchard. Steele directed the creation of borders with mountain ashes (rowans), hemlock trees (Tsuga), and lilacs (Syringa vulgaris). Angelica Gerry selected, independently of Steele, many of the architectural and statuary elements of the formal gardens. She never married. Until her death in 1960, Angelica Gerry enjoyed furnishing Ancium House, tending to the gardens, and growing her prized delphiniums.
In the 1961, an auction sold much of Ancrum House's art and furniture. In 1963, after a dispute over property taxes, the house was razed. | [

75,680,662 | Sometime, Somewhere | Sometime, Somewhere (original title in Spanish: Algún día, en algún lugar) is a 2023 Argentine-American documentary film written and directed by Ricardo Preve. The feature documentary tells the story of a group of Hispanic and Latin American immigrants in Charlottesville, Virginia: who they are and why they left their homes, what happened to them when they arrived in the United States, and what are their hopes for the future.
Also featured in the film are lawyers and physicians who work with the migrants, and community activists. The film was shown in various international film festivals, and earned awards and nominations.
The first act of the film looks at why millions of people are escaping from their home countries in Latin America. The immigrants give testimonies about what motivated their journey to the United States, tell stories of drug cartels and domestic violence, and talk about the various economic reasons that led them to flee: poverty, global climate change, and a lack of economic opportunities.
The second act opens with scenes from The Grapes of Wrath (1940), the film starring Henry Fonda and directed by John Ford. Film historian Dr. Kevin Hagopian explains the connection with present-day migrations. It then looks at other examples of forced migrations in United States history: the escape of the Irish from the potato blight, and the plight of enslaved African Americans.
The film continues with migrant interviews about the challenges of living as undocumented persons in the United States. Participants include a Native American Guatemalan woman who lives in a church under asylum conditions, two men who own a pizza shop, a couple who work in a sawmill, an air conditioning repair man, and several others.
Also in the film are three immigration attorneys who work with migrants trying to avoid deportation, a Puerto Rican community organizer who fights for immigrant rights, two doctors who focus on providing bilingual health care, and the Charlottesville chief of police who talks about the traumatic effects that the August 2017 white supremacist attacks had on the town.
The final chapter is about an organization called Sin Barreras, led by a former Marine and Hispanic activist which fights for immigrant rights, a woman who teaches driving to immigrants so they can get a Virginia driver’s license, and a Mexican painter who for the last 15 years has been organizing soccer matches for Hispanic immigrants.
The film also features Seth Michelson, a poet and professor at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. He works with undocumented migrant children who are incarcerated at maximum security prisons, and teaches them poetry. The films closes with some final reflections from the participants.
Preve came up with the idea for the documentary based on his own experience as an immigrant from Argentina in 1977. The film was entirely shot in central Virginia. Principal photography took place during August 2022, over a three week period, with a production team that travelled from Argentina, and with characters recruited from amongst the Charlottesville immigrant community.
From the start of production, Preve intended the film to be shot in black and white, and both the production design and the photography were developed with this idea in mind. Editing and post-production of the film took place in Buenos Aires, Argentina in early 2023. During that year, the film began its public appearances as an official selection at the 36th Virginia Film Festival with a screening on October 28, 2023 at the University of Virginia. Prior to the screening, Preve received the Gov. Gerald L. Baliles Founders Award in recognition of his contributions to filmmaking in Virginia.
The film was also an official selection at the 8th Golden Gate International Film Festival, where it received a nomination for Best Cinematography, and won the Best Foreign Film Award. It was also an official selection at the 15th LatinUy International Film Festival in Punta del Este, Uruguay, where it won the Best Documentary Award. | [

75,680,714 | East Lanarkshire F.C. | East Lanarkshire F.C. was an association football club from Harthill, Scotland, active in the late 19th century.
The first East Lanarkshire F.C. was formed as a merger between the Shotts Football Club and the East Lanarkshire Cricket Club in 1876, but the merger either fell apart or was never fully "consummated" as Shotts F.C. continued to play afterwards under the Shotts name.
The instant East Lanarkshire was a separate entity, formed in Harthill, Lanarkshire in April 1898, mostly with players from the recently-defunct Harthill Thistle junior side, but also recruiting Dowker, Davidson, and Sommerville from Dykehead, and Sim and John Paterson from East Stirlingshire. Before the 1898–99 season started the club also recruited Bob Reid from Benhar, joined the Lanarkshire Association, and joined the Scottish Football Association, enabling it to play competitive football in the season.
The club's first match was a 2–2 draw at Bonnybridge Grasshoppers, and its first tie in the Scottish Qualifying Cup was a near-impossible task at Linthouse; the home side won 6–2, the E.L. resorting to long shots. It had a little more fortune in the Lanarkshire Cup, beating Carfin Rovers in a first round replay; the original draw at Carfin was considered a "feather in the cap", and the E.L. exploited home advantage to the full - the Rovers were fatigued through travelling to Harthill by brake in windy conditions, which left the team not only unfit, but at a disadvantage in gauging the effect of the wind on an exposed and unfamiliar ground.
In the second round, the club was drawn at home to Airdrieonians, and offered to sell home advantage for £15. The tie was duly switched to Broomfield Park, and the E.L. startled the home support by equalizing an early goal thanks to a header from Graham, coming in from the left wing, and centre-forward Francis scoring a second equalizer just before half-time; with the second-half wind in their favour, the 'Onians were 5–2 ahead with 8 minutes to go, when the referee stopped the match because of darkness. However, as the early finish was due to the home side turning up late, the Lanarkshire FA unanimously agreed to order a replay, to take place at Harthill, which in effect robbed the E.L. of its £15, as the tie was deemed unplayed; even worse from a financial perspective, with no free time for a replay, and with the expenses of the tie likely to exceed a gate share, Airdrieonians scratched from the competition.
The small consolation was that the E.L. was in the last 4, and entertained Albion Rovers, but put in its "worst display...in their short career", and went down 4–1; demonstrating the economic realities of a smaller club in such a competition, the total receipts were £2 8/-, which suggests a crowd of under 100, but, despite the amount not covering the Rovers' travel expenses, the Coatbridge side had nothing but praise for the Shire's sporting attitude.
The club however was able to enter the Coatbridge Express Cup, and after walking over Hamilton Academical (whose Lanarkshire League commitments precluded it from playing the tie) and beating Carfin Rovers 2–0 the club reached the final against Wishaw Thistle, played at the Acas' Douglas Park; the club prepared with an unexpected 1–0 win in a friendly against East Stirlingshire. The final ended 1–1, the E.L. considered by most spectators to have been unlucky as the Jags' goal was considered offside by a distance. The replay, at Fir Park, ended 2–2; the E.L. squandered a two goal half-time lead and missed a penalty when still a goal ahead, before conceding an equalizer in the 86th minute. It was third time unlucky for the E.L., without Graham for the second replay (again at Fir Park) due to an accident at work; despite taking the lead before the break, the club went down 3–1.
However, even in the club's first couple of months of playing, it was obvious that the smaller senior clubs in the region were finding it difficult to attract other senior clubs for matches. This was made harder by the bigger clubs in the shire forming the Lanarkshire Football League in October 1898, which required a £10 guarantee for visiting clubs, well beyond the capabilities of the smaller clubs. A smaller Second League was held in the second half of the 1898–99 season, with E.L, Dykehead, Uddingston, Glengowan, and Carfin as members, but it seems to have fizzled out by the end of April.
Mr Finlay promised that the E.L. would come back stronger for 1899–1900, signing up 13 players before the summer had even started, and the club seemed to demonstrate this with a hard-fought 2–0 win over Dykehead in the Qualifying Cup first round. However the vagaries of the wind at Longriggend proved too much for the Shire in the second.
The club narrowly lost to Royal Albert in the first round of the Lanarkshire, but was fancied to win at Dykehead in the quarter-final of the Coatbridge Express Cup, having more or less the same side as reached the final the previous season, while Dykehead, having lost its ground and having barely played, had to borrow a junior ground to host the tie. However the E.L. went down 8–1, which seems to have had a deleterious effect on the club, which barely played afterwards - its last recorded fixture is a 5–0 defeat at West Calder in April. It was struck from the Scottish FA roll in August 1900, at least three players joining West Calder, others joining Dykehead, and Graham joining the new East Benhar Rangers.
The club wore blue and white shirts.
The club's ground, Hawthorn Park, was to the north of a row of houses on Main Street and remains a football ground today. It was formerly the home of West Benhar, when it was called Harthill Mains. | [

75,680,732 | Stephanie Forkel | Stephanie Forkel is a Principal Investigator and Research Group Leader of the Language and Communication Theme at the Donders Institute in Nijmegen. In addition to her role at the Donders Institute, Stephanie holds positions such as chairing the @CNSeminars and serving as the Programme Chair for the globally renowned Organization of Human Brain Mapping (OHBM).
Stephanie's dedication to neuroscience is characterized by a multifaceted approach encompassing research, teaching, and science communication. Her expertise spans a diverse range of topics, from the Neurobiology of Language and Brain Anatomy to White Matter Phenotypes, Neurovariability, and Neurological Disorders. She uses advanced techniques like MRI and 3D printing to understand the complexities of the brain and its impact on cognition and health.
Forkel was a CNRS Researcher in Neuroscience and Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellow at the University of Bordeaux. She also holds a visiting Senior Lecturer position at King's College London. Stephanie is involved in scientific dissemination and holds editorial roles in reputable journals such as associate editor in Cortex (since 2017) and Brain Structure and Function (since 2021), and a reviewer for over 20 journals and several funding agencies (including the ERC and StG). She has contributed to numerous journals and global funding agencies, shaping the field of neuroscience. With over 200 reviews for journals including Nature Communications and Brain, and having received many grants from prestigious organizations, including the ERC, NWO, and Wellcome Trust Academics, the Academics "Nachwuchspreis" acknowledged her as a dedicated and talented young researcher in 2019 and 2020. Stephanie's commitment to science communications extends to public engagement projects, where she has collaborated with renowned entities like the BBC, Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Science Gallery London, Pint of Science, and Native Scientists. Notably, she received a Wellcome Trust Image award and conducted an interview with Nobel Laureate Professor Elizabeth Blackburn in honor of International Women's Day.
Stephanie has achieved a robust academic background. Her academic journey began with a foundation in psychology from Paris Lodron Universität Salzburg in Austria, where she obtained her Diploma in Psychology (2005-2008). During her time there, she focused on biological psychology, statistics, and neuropsychology, which would inform much of her later work in neuroscience. Stephanie went on to earn an Honours degree in psychology from the National University of Ireland, Galway (2007-2008), before pursuing an MSc in neuroscience at King's College London (2008-2009), where she developed her interdisciplinary knowledge of psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and neurology. Her Master's Thesis, titled "The Anatomy of Fronto-Occipital Connections" (2009), was done under the supervision of Williams, S. C. R. and Murphy, D. G.
Stephanie's academic journey reached a significant milestone with the completion of her Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Neuroimaging from King's College London (2009-2013). Her research during this period, focusing on stroke recovery and the role of neurovariability, culminated in her Doctoral Thesis, "Identification of Anatomical Predictors of Language Recovery after Stroke with Diffusion Tensor Imaging" (2014), under the supervision of Williams, S. C. R., Murphy, D. G., Catani, M., and Kalra, L., including publications in the journal Brain (2014). To further solidify her academic credentials, Stephanie pursued a Doctor of Science and obtained Habilitation in Neuroscience/Neuroimaging. The corresponding Doctoral Thesis was titled "Identification of Anatomical Predictors of Language Recovery after Stroke-Induced Aphasia Using Diffusion Tensor Imaging" (2013).
Additionally, Stephanie has shown dedication to improving teaching methodologies through her attainment of an Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy in 2011, during her Ph.D. studies.
Stephanie's commitment to academic service extends beyond her primary research and teaching roles. She actively contributed to academic citizenship and community building by serving as a lecturer at the University of Greenwich from 2014 to 2016. In this role, she engaged in teaching and mentoring activities, promoting the academic development of her students. Furthermore, Stephanie served as a Ph.D. examiner for institutions like King's College London and the University of Barcelona, Spain. Notably, she organized the National Postdoc Meeting (#NpdC2019) in 2019, aiming to promote collaboration and knowledge exchange within the academic community.
These goals also extended to the broader scientific community, as is exemplified by her proactive involvement in academic committees, including the Wellcome Trust CME Centre Public Engagement Committee and the Research and Innovation Committee. As a mentor, Stephanie founded the London Postdoc Network and actively engaged with the OHBM Student and Postdoc Student Interest Group, contributing to the professional development of early-career researchers.
From 2022 onward, Stephanie Forkel has been serving as an associate professor, principal investigator and research group leader at the Donders Institute, Radboud University. Along this position she serves as the TUM Global Visiting professor at the School of Medicine at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) since March 2022, contributing to international teaching and research collaborations.
During her time at King's College London, Forkel held several positions, including Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Departments of Forensic and Neurodevelopmental Sciences, and later in Neuroimaging, before assuming the role of Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Neuroimaging on a visiting basis.
Before, she engaged as a Researcher in Neuroscience at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (French: Centre national de la recherche scientifique, CNRS) in Bordeaux, France, focusing on mapping the connectional anatomy of cognition and exploring variability in brain structure and function. Additionally, Forkel had roles as a Visiting Researcher at the University of California, Davis, and as a Senior Neuroimaging Research Scientist at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience in London.
Her academic career also extended to teaching roles, including serving as Module Lead for BSc Applied Clinical Neuropsychology at the University of Greenwich and contributing as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at University College London.
Alongside university courses, Forkel shares expertise on platforms like YouTube and the Neuroscience Alliance. Engaged in diverse teaching, she contributes to bilingual schools and adult education programs like Pint of Science. Holding an Ius promovendi at Radboud University, she primarily teaches internship and thesis-related courses.

75,680,762 | Margaret Backhouse (Quaker) | Margaret Ann Backhouse (4 May 1887 – 23 March 1977) was an English humanitarian activist who accepted the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the Friends Service Council in 1947.
She was born 4 May 1887 in Hurworth, Durham, the ninth of ten children of bank partner James Backhouse and his wife, Elizabeth Barclay Fowler. She was educated at the Quaker Mount School in York and belonged to the first cohort of Sunday school teachers trained at Westhill Training College, Birmingham.
In 1912, she accompanied the headmaster of Westhill, George Archibald, on a pedagogical tour of Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
A teacher at Westhill from 1915, she was a travelling lecturer for the British Friends Society.
From 1943 to 1950 she was chair of the Friends Service Council and vice-chair of Friends Relief Service, which organised Quaker relief at the end of the World War II.
In 1947 the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the Friends Service Council "for their pioneering work in the international peace movement and compassionate effort to relieve human suffering, thereby promoting the fraternity between nations." Backhouse collected the prize and made an acceptance speech on behalf of the Friends Service Council where she highlighted the organisation’s international relief work and the role of women within it. The prize was shared with the American Friends Service Committee, represented by Henry Cadbury.
Afterwards, she continued to travel for the Quakers, including as part of a peace delegation to the Soviet Union in 1951.
She died at her home in Sevenoaks, Kent, on 23 March 1977. | [

He was born in Dundee on 10 March 1874, the middle child of five of William Rose Ross (1846-1895) ad Georgina Philip (1846-1892). He grew up in Hawick in the Scottish Borders. He attended the Buccleuch Memorial School of Art in Hawick. He was later an articled pupil of architect James Pearson Alison (1862-1932).
He married Jean Riddell Adam (d. 1930) in September 1901. They had two children:
By 1900 he had moved to Long Eaton, Derbyshire where he set up practice with James Gorman as Gorman and Ross. The partnership built themselves a practice, York Chambers, at 38 Market Place, Long Eaton, which remains one of the most distinctive buildings in the town. The partnership of Gorman and Ross continued until around 1905.
In April 1908 he emigrated to Australia, his family following three months later. In 1909 he became employed by the Perth Public Works Department. He retired on 9 March 1939.
He was killed in a collision with a train on the Bellevue level crossing on 23 March 1949. He was buried at Karrakatta Cemetery, Redlands City, Western Australia. | [

75,680,779 | African hair threading | African hair threading (also known as Hair threading/ threading, isi owu, Akweley Waabii, Nywele) is a traditional hairstyling technique deeply rooted in African culture. It is cherished for its versatility, beauty, and cultural significance. This age-old practice involves intricately wrapping or braiding the natural hair with threads, often made of wool, cotton, or Nylon threads creating striking and elaborate patterns. Hair threading is a meticulous art form, passed down through generations, showcasing the richness of African hairstyling artistry within various African communities.
Hair threading remains a prevalent and cherished traditional hairstyle within many sub-Saharan African societies, particularly prevalent in the cultures of Western and Central Africa. This age-old practice of African hair threading has deep roots in the cultural heritage of diverse African communities, tracing its origins back centuries. Its enduring presence can be dated to as early as the 15th century, serving as a time-honored method that promotes length retention and nurtures the health of natural hair.
The process begins by sectioning the hair, then wrapping or braiding each section with threads, tightly securing the hair in place. Not only does this technique serve as a protective style, safeguarding hair from breakage and promoting healthy growth, but it also allows for creativity and expression, with diverse patterns and designs reflecting cultural symbolism, personal identity, or celebratory occasions.
African hair threading fosters a strong sense of community and tradition, with women often bonding over shared experiences during the intricate threading process, transmitting cultural heritage from one generation to the next. Moreover, beyond its aesthetic appeal, hair threading serves as a cultural marker, embodying heritage, pride, and a celebration of African identity. | [

75,680,832 | Kanina (river) | The Kanina (Bulgarian: Канина) is a 36 km-long river in southern Bulgaria, a left tributary of the river Mesta.
The river takes its source at an altitude of 1,726 m on the southern slopes of the summit of Sveti Petar (1,745 m) in the Dabrash ridge of the western Rhodope Mountains and drains the southwestern slopes of Dabrash. It initially flows in western direction in a gently slopes heavily forested valley. Following the confluence with its largest tributary the Vishteritsa, the river turns south and its valley deepens significantly, forming steep deforested slopes. In that section the gradient of the current is high and the Kanina forms many rapids and waterfalls. After the village of Marchevo it enters the Gotse Delchev Valley and forms a large alluvial cone. It flows into the Mesta at an altitude of 503 m some 2 km east of the town of Gotse Delchev.
Its drainage basin covers a territory of 234 km or 6.79% of Mesta's total. The average altitude of the Kanina basin is 1,400 m.
The river has rain-snow feed with high water in April and low water in September. The average annual discharge at the village of Ognyanovo is 2.95 m/s.
The river flows entirely in Blagoevgrad Province. There are two settlements along its course: the villages of Marchevo and Ognyanvo, both in Garmen Municipality. The municipal center Garmen lies less than a kilometer of the Kanina. Perched over its valley overseeing the river are the well-preserved historical villages of Kovachevitsa and Leshten.
Part of the water of the Kanina and its tributary the Vishteritsa are diverted via seven derivations and a tunnel under the Dabrash ridge to the upper course of the river Dospat and from there to the Dospat Reservoir, which form the highest level of the Dospat–Vacha Hydropower Cascade (500.2 MW). In its lower course the waters are used for irrigation. | [

Step 1 Prepare the dough for litti
To prepare the dough, take a mixing bowl and add wheat flour, mustard oil and a pinch of salt. Add some water and knead a soft dough.
Step 2 Preparing the filling of litti
To prepare the filling, take a bowl and mix sattu (black gram flour), pickle masala, mustard oil, lemon juice, kalonji, ginger, coriander leaves, green chillies, and salt together. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Now divide the dough, flatten to the desired size and place a spoonful of the filling. Close the dough by the edges and roll it into a ball.
Step 3 The right way to bake littis
Put these balls on a baking tray and bake. Then flip to the other side and bake till it is cooked properly. Put your oven on broil mode for 2-3 minutes turning both sides to get a crisp covering.
Step 4 Let's learn how to prepare the chokha for litti
Now to prepare the chokha, wash, dry and slit the brinjal. Put an aluminium foil on the baking tray and place the brinjal and tomatoes on top. Roast them on broil mode or highest temperature. Once done, peel the brinjal and tomatoes and then mash them well. Transfer these into a bowl. Add garlic, salt, mustard oil, lemon juice, green chillis and chopped green coriander leaves in the bowl. Mix the ingredients well and the chokha is ready to be served.
Step 5 Enjoy the delicious Litti Chokha

Street Vendors however prepare Litti in a Barbeque style.
The Litti prepared in Barbeque style has more flavor and tasty, but it is difficult to make it at home because these days very few people have coal-fired oven.
Litti-chokha was selected to represent the country under the banner of National Association of Streetfood Vendors of India (NASVI) at the five-day event in the Philippines capital, Manila.
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, who was in the Bihar capital (Patna) in 2014 to promote his film PK, visited a roadside shop and enjoyed Bihari delicacy litti-chokha. Aamir told the media he enjoyed the special taste of litti-chokha. It is known for its unique taste. I love to eat litti-chokha.

75,680,944 | 2006 Oklahoma Senate election | The 2006 Oklahoma Senate election was held on November 7, 2006. Senators in 24 out of 48 districts were up for election. Going into the election, Democrats had a narrow 2 seat majority with 26 seats, compared to Republicans 22 seats. Their majority was reduced to one seat after the death of Senator Robert M. Kerr. and Republican Mike Schulz's victory in the subsequent special election. However, in the summer of 2006 Senator Nancy Riley changed her party affiliation from Republican to Democratic, allowing Democrats to regain their two seat majority.
On election day, Republicans gained 2 seats, resulting in the Senate being evenly split between Republicans and Democrats. A power splitting agreement was reached where there would be two President pro tempores, with two chairs and vice chairs for each committee. However, Democrats maintained a functioning majority otherwise because they held the Lieutenant governorship, who holds the tie breaking vote.
As of 2023, this is the last time Democrats controlled the State Senate or any legislative branch in Oklahoma, as Republicans won control of the Senate in 2008. This is also the first and, as of 2023, only time the Oklahoma Senate has been evenly split between parties. | [

75,680,961 | Vishteritsa | The Vishteritsa (Bulgarian: Вищерица) is a 24 km-long river in southern Bulgaria, a right tributary of the Kanina, itself a left tributary of the river Mesta of the Aegean Sea drainage.
The river takes its source at an altitude of 1,586 m at 1.7 km northwest of the summit of Karakaia (1,761 m) in the Dabrash ridge of the western Rhodope Mountains. It flows in direction south-southeast in a relatively shallow and heavily forested valley. It flows into the Kanina at an altitude of 1,151 m in the Gatera locality. Its discharge at the confluence is almost as large as that of the Kanina. It drains the northwestern slopes of the Dabrash.
Its drainage basin covers a territory of 80 km or 34.19% of Kanina's total. The main tributaries are the Karatishka reka (left) and the Elushka reka (right).
The river flows entirely in Blagoevgrad Province, in the municipalities of Bansko and Garmen. There are no settlements along its course. In its upper course, near a small lake, is located the Vishteritsa forestry.
Part of the water of the Vishteritsa, along with those of the Kanina, are diverted via seven derivations and a tunnel under the Dabrash ridge to the upper course of the river Dospat and from there to the Dospat Reservoir, which form the highest level of the Dospat–Vacha Hydropower Cascade (500.2 MW). | [

75,680,969 | Kuwait–Palestine relations | Kuwait–Palestine relations refer to foreign relations between Kuwait and the State of Palestine.
Kuwait supports the establishment of an independent Palestine State through a two-state solution. It will not recognize Israel till the establishment of an independent Palestine.
After the Nakba Palestinians moved to Kuwait for work. This movement was made easier after Kuwait remove visa requirements for Jordanians. The number of Palestinians moving to Kuwait increased after the Six-Day War when Israel occupied West Bank and Gaza along with the Sinai and Golan Heights. From 1967-69, 60 percent of teachers in Kuwait were Palestinians. Kuwait introduced the Kafala system which limited the rights of non-citizens and made a Kuwaiti responsible for non-Kuwaiti. Kuwait limited the enrollment of non-citizens in educational institutions to 10 percent but allowed the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to operate schools for Palestinians. The PLO tried to prevent the influence of radical organizations, such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, from increasing their influence in the Palestinian community in Kuwait. The PLO took five percent of the salary of Palestinians as tax for the Fatah controlled Palestine National Fund.
In 1976, Kuwait closed Palestine Liberation Organization operated schools which increased overcrowding in public schools. It made laws requiring expatriates to send their children to private schools. In 1986, 200 out of 276 seats reserved for foreigners at Kuwait University went to Palestinians. The government of Kuwait started a process of increasing the number of Kuwaitis in education and bureaucracy and reducing the number of Palestinians.
During the Gulf War, the Palestine Liberation Organization and Yasser Arafat supported Saddam Hussein which harmed relations with Kuwait. The Palestinians believed supporting Iraq would be the best way to establish an independent Palestine after Saddam promised to confront Israel before the invasion. The PLO office in Kuwait opposed the invasion but its office in Bagdad and Jordan supported the invasion. Rafiq Shafiq Qiblawi, PLO official in Kuwait, was assassinated by the Iraqis for opposing the invasion. The image of Palestinians in Kuwait was damaged after Saddam used the Arab Liberation Front and Palestinian Liberation Front (Abu Abbas Faction) in the occupation of Iraq. 70 percent of Palestinians in Kuwait boycotted work but 30 percent continued. After the United States removed Iraqi forces from Kuwait, hundreds of Palestinians youth were killed and/or tortured by Kuwaiti resistance.

Kuwait limited the enrollment of non-citizens in educational institutions to 10 percent but allowed the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) to operate schools for Palestinians.

While participating in sports, she met her husband Werner. They had a daughter, Siegried.
When her husband went to fight in World War II, she stayed behind in their hometown, but by the end of the war, she fled to Stuttgart, where she found her husband who had survived through the German Red Cross.
Both her husband and daughter have predeceased her. She moved into a nursing home in Kirchheim unter Teck after experiencing a brain hemorrhage. She has an Instagram account where she keeps a photo diary of her life.
On December 3, 2019, Kretschmann turned 110 years old. After the death of Anna Cernohorsky [de] on September 18, 2022, she became the oldest living person in Germany at the age of 112.

75,681,002 | The Ambush (1969 film) | The Ambush (Serbo-Croatian: Zaseda, Serbian Cyrillic: Заседа) is a 1969 Yugoslav black-and-white feature film written and directed by Živojin Pavlović. It is considered to be one of the greatest achievements of the Yugoslav Black Wave. The screenplay is based on the motifs of Pavlović's short story Legends and Antonije Isaković's short story For the Third Time.
The story takes place in 1945, near the end of the Second World War in Serbia, at a time when the newly formed communist government still had to deal with backward groups of Chetniks. The protagonist, Ive Vrana, is a young Dalmatian and member of SKOJ who believes in revolution and a higher goal. Ive's father was killed by Italians, causing him to move in with his relatives in Serbia to continue his high school education. He first encounters an obstacle when his girlfriend, Milica, is singled out as a member of the bourgeoisie due to upbringing. He also witnesses the drunk and reckless behaviour of partisan leader Zeka. Tensions increase as the local partisans fight and attempt to capture Marko, a Chetnik leader. Ive's idealism increasingly clashes with reality and the fact that his own side is also carrying out reckless and violent repression. He joins the ranks of OZNA, but finds himself even more disillusioned by an opportunistic officer's lies and the violence around him, as well as relationships, as Milica cheats on him with her PE teacher. Frustrated, Ive goes on a walk outside the village, but is captured by partisans who mistake him for a Chetnik and kill him when he is unable to provide documentation.
The Ambush was shown at the 16th Pula Film Festival, and later at the 30th Venice Film Festival, where it received the CIDALC award.
It is wrongly believed that the dark portrayal of the beginnings of communist rule provoked a reaction from the ruling Party and that, along with Želimir Žilnik's film Early Works, The Ambush prompted the publication of Vladimir Jovičić's article Black wave in our film in the newspaper Borba on August 3, 1969, just one day after The Ambush won two awards at the Pula Film Festival (a special diploma for directing and a critics' award). The article, however, was not an official statement of the League of Communists of Yugoslavia or any of its organs, nor does the article mention The Ambush (Jovičić focuses on two other films, It Rains in My Village and Do Not Mention the Cause of Death).
The Ambush was never officially banned, but it was not shown publicly again until 1989.
The Yugoslav Film Archive, in accordance with its authorities based on the Law on Cultural Heritage, declared one hundred Serbian feature films (1911–1999) as cultural heritage of great importance on December 28, 2016. The Ambush is also on that list.
In 2023, the Yugoslav Film Archive, in cooperation with Centar Film, digitally restored The Ambush. The film was shown at the European project "Season of Film Classics". The restored version premiered at the Archive on December 28th, 2023. | [
