75,685,009 | Rook Mountain | Rook Mountain is a 6,685-foot-elevation (2,038-meter) mountain summit in Alaska, United States.
Rook Mountain is located 30 miles (48 km) east-southeast of Anchorage in the Chugach Mountains and Chugach State Park. It ranks as the 27th-highest peak within the park. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains to Knik Arm via Raven Creek and the Eagle River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 4,685 feet (1,428 m) above Raven Creek in two miles (3.2 km). The mountain's toponym has not been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Rook Mountain is located in a tundra climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool summers. Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Chugach Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop below −10 °F with wind chill factors below −20 °F. This climate supports the Raven Glacier to the south, Eagle Glacier to the east, and smaller unnamed glaciers on the north slope. | [

75,685,055 | List of ports and harbours of Gujarat | Gujarat is the westernmost state of India, positioned strategically along the Arabian Sea, fostering the development of dynamic port cities that serve as pivotal gateways for trade, cultural interchange, and geopolitical influence. The maritime legacy of Gujarat predates recorded history, exemplified by the ancient port city of Lothal, an unearthed Indus Valley Civilization settlement near Bhavnagar, showcasing the state's early involvement in maritime trade. Historical ports such as Bharuch and Cambay thrived as prominent centers for exporting spices, textiles, and precious stones to the world, fostering cultural exchange with influences from Persia, Arabia, and Egypt that enriched Gujarat's artistic and architectural landscape. With the arrival of European colonial powers in the 16th century, Gujarat's ports entered a new era. The Portuguese established themselves in Diu and Daman, while the British transformed Bombay (present-day Mumbai) into a major commercial hub. These colonial ports facilitated the export of raw materials such as cotton and opium, influencing the trade patterns of the region. Following independence, Gujarat experienced a renewed emphasis on developing its port infrastructure. The construction of Kandla in the 1960s positioned it as a major port for handling bulk cargo such as coal and iron ore. In the late 20th century, Mundra emerged as a significant container terminal. These modern ports have played a pivotal role in propelling Gujarat's industrial growth, attracting foreign investments, and facilitating international trade. Beyond their economic significance, the ports of Gujarat serve as vibrant cultural melting pots. Fishing communities along the coast contribute to the state's cultural tapestry with their traditional practices and folklore. Port cities like Surat and Porbandar showcase rich architectural heritage, reflecting the diverse influences that have shaped Gujarat's maritime history.

75,685,071 | Delaney Strouse | Delaney Strouse (born July 12, 2000) is an American curler from Midland, Michigan. She currently skips her own team out of Traverse City. She is a two-time champion of the United States Junior Curling Championships, going on to win the bronze medal at the 2022 World Junior Curling Championships and the 2023 Winter World University Games.
Strouse made her first appearance at the international level representing Michigan at the 2016 U18 International Curling Championships. As third for the Maya Willertz rink, the team finished with a winless 0–7 record.
For the 2019–20 season, Strouse joined the newly formed Susan Dudt squad with Sydney Mullaney and Rebecca Rodgers. Initially playing second on the team, they reached the semifinals of the St. Paul Cash Spiel and represented the U.S. at the 2019 Changan Ford International Curling Elite where they finished 0–7. In the new year, Strouse took over skipping duties on the team with Dudt moving down to second. The change paid off as the team won the 2020 United States Junior Curling Championships, winning 9–8 in the final against Alaska's Cora Farrell. This qualified them to represent the States at the 2021 World Junior Curling Championships, however, the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They ended their season by playing in the 2020 United States Women's Curling Championship where they finished 2–5 through the round robin.
The following season, Leah Yavarow joined the team at third, shifting Mullaney down to second and Dudt to alternate. Despite the limited number of events due to the pandemic, Team Strouse won the lone tour event they played in, the contender round of the US Open of Curling. They also played in the 2021 United States Women's Curling Championship which was held in a bio-secure bubble at the Wausau Curling Club in Wausau, Wisconsin in May 2021. They finished with a 2–4 record, not advancing to the playoffs. Strouse also played in the bubble for the 2021 United States Mixed Doubles Curling Championship with partner Nicholas Connolly where they went 1–4.
Team Strouse began the 2021–22 season by capturing a second U.S. junior title, going undefeated to win the event. After going 5–0 in the round robin, they beat Samantha Jones in the semifinal before defeating Katherine Gourianova in the gold medal game. They also earned qualification into the 2021 United States Olympic Curling Trials by winning the Mayfield qualifying event, beating Christine McMakin in the final qualifier. Before the Trials, Leah Yavarow was replaced on the team by Anne O'Hara who became the team's new third. At the Trials, they finished tied for fifth with a 3–7 record. In May 2022, they represent the States 2022 World Junior Curling Championships. Through the round robin, Strouse led her team to a second place 7–2 record, suffering losses to Latvia's Evelīna Barone and the top ranked Norway's Eirin Mesloe. In the semifinals, they met the eventual champions Japan's Sae Yamamoto where they fell 7–3. They bounced back in the bronze medal game, however, beating Norway in a 10–6 game. Also during the season, Strouse teamed up with Daniel Casper at the 2022 United States Mixed Doubles Curling Championship where the pair made it all the way to the 3 vs. 4 game before being defeated by Jamie Sinclair and Rich Ruohonen.
The Strouse rink found major success during the 2022–23 season, beginning at the US Open of Curling where they had an undefeated run until the final where they were defeated by Ha Seung-youn. They also qualified for the playoffs in their next event, the 2022 Stu Sells Toronto Tankard, before falling in the quarterfinals to Lauren Mann. The team next played in the playdowns for the 2023 Winter World University Games where they won all four of their games to win the event. Back on tour, they had four more playoff appearances, reaching three quarterfinals and one semifinal at the Curling Stadium Contender Series. In the new year, the team represented the U.S. on home soil at the 2023 Winter World University Games in Saranac Lake, New York. The team was dominant through the round robin, with Strouse leading her team of Anne O'Hara, Sydney Mullaney, Rebecca Rodgers and Susan Dudt to an 8–1 record, finishing just behind Korea's Ha Seung-youn who was their sole loss. In the semifinals, they met China's Han Yu where they suffered a narrow 6–5 loss. They would claim the bronze medal after a 7–3 win against Great Britain's Fay Henderson. Continuing their momentum from the season, Team Strouse finished 6–1 through the round robin at the 2023 United States Women's Curling Championship. In the 1 vs. 2 game, they faced the top ranked Tabitha Peterson rink where they gave up four in the tenth end to lose 11–10. They rebounded by beating Sarah Anderson 9–4 in the semifinal. They could not take revenge on Peterson in the final, however, dropping the game 8–5 and settling for the silver medal. Strouse and Casper finished the season at the 2023 United States Mixed Doubles Curling Championship where they lost in a tiebreaker to Taylor Anderson and Ben Richardson.
Strouse is an urban studies and communications student at the University of Minnesota. She previously attended Herbert Henry Dow High School. She began curling in seventh grade. Her brother Samuel Strouse is also a curler. | [

75,685,110 | List of third-party performances in United States Senate elections | This is a list of notable performances of third party and independent candidates in elections to the United States Senate.
It is rare for candidates, other than those of the six parties which have succeeded as major parties (Federalist Party, Democratic-Republican Party, National Republican Party, Democratic Party, Whig Party, Republican Party), to take large shares of the vote in elections.
In some of the listed cases a faction or factions of a state's major party ran against each other, often making it difficult to ascertain which was the mainline candidate and which was the bolter; in such cases, those candidates which are not listed on a standard major party line are still listed, but are not considered traditional third party victories as often these candidates sat in Congress as affiliated party members (barring cases like Joe Lieberman who, upon winning re-election in 2006 as a third party candidate, sat as an Independent Democrat).
Listed below are Senate elections in which a third party or independent candidate won at least 5.0% of the vote. Winners are shown in bold and marked "elected" or "re-elected".
For other elections, see List of third-party and independent performances in United States elections.
Prior to the passage of the 17th Amendment, most states did not hold direct elections to the Senate, with senators instead being elected by the state legislatures. The results listed below are cases in which a third-party candidate won at least 5.0% of the legislative vote. | [

75,685,205 | Donika Kadaj Bujupi | Donika Kadaj Bujupi (born 20 March 1979) is a politician in Kosovo. She served in the Assembly of Kosovo from 2007 to 2021. Kadaj Bujupi was a member of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) for most of her time as an elected official, although from 2016 to 2018 she was a member of Vetëvendosje (VV). In April 2023, she was appointed as an advisor to Kosovo president Vjosa Osmani.
Kadaj Bujupi was born in Sarajevo, in what was then the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. When she was five years old, she moved with her family to her father's homeland of Kosovo (which was then the Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija in the Socialist Republic of Serbia, also part of Yugoslavia). She holds a bachelor's degree in journalism and mass communication from AAB University (2005) and a master's degree in the same field from the Kosovo Institute of Journalism and Communication (2007).
Kadaj Bujupi worked for Médecins Sans Frontières from 2000 to 2001, for the city of Pristina from 2001 to 2002, and for the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) from 2002 to 2005. From 2005 to 2007, she was a spokesperson for the Kosovo Energy Corporation. In December 2005, she rejected charges that the energy corporation was discriminating against Serb communities in Kosovo.
Kadaj Bujupi appeared in the thirtieth position on the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo's electoral list in the 2007 Kosovan parliamentary election. Elections in Kosovo are held under open list proportional representation, and she finished in twelfth place among the party's candidates. The AAK won ten seats; due to a requirement for one-third female representation, she was awarded a mandate. The Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) formed a coalition government after the election, and the AAK served in opposition. In her first term, Kadaj Bujupi was a member of the committee for education, science, technology, culture, youth, and sports. She was a serving parliamentarian in February 2008, when Kosovo's assembly and governing authorities unilaterally declared independence for the territory as the Republic of Kosovo.
In June 2008, Kadaj Bujupi accused Kosovo's ministry of mines and energy of inefficiency and a lack of strategy for overcoming an ongoing energy crisis.
Kadaj Bujupi was promoted to the third position on the AAK's list in the 2010 Kosovan parliamentary election, finished fourth among the party's candidates, and was re-elected when the list won twelve seats. The PDK won the election and formed a new government, and the AAK remained in opposition. Kadaj Bujupi served on the committee for foreign affairs.
She expressed skepticism about a contract signed in late 2011 between the Kosovo government and the American firm Patton Boggs LLP to promote the international recognition of Kosovo. "Often these agreements are made for other, not state interests, and in most of the cases there is no transparency therefore suspicion is natural," she was quoted as saying.
In May 2014, Kadaj Bujupi was a founding member of a working group calling for the United Nations to establish a tribunal for victims of sexual violence during the Kosovo War.
Kadaj Bujupi appeared in the sixth position on the AAK's list in the 2014 Kosovan parliamentary election, again finished fourth, and was elected to a third term when the list won eleven seats. After protracted negotiations, the PDK, LDK, and smaller parties formed a new coalition government, and the AAK remained in opposition. Kadaj Bujupi was chosen as leader of the party's assembly group after the election.
In early 2015, Kadaj Bujupi introduced a seventeen-point draft resolution targeting illegal emigration from Kosovo to European Union (EU) countries. The resolution was approved by the assembly in a special plenary session on 6 February 2015.
Kadaj Bujupi was one of a number of parliamentarians who opened tear gas canisters in the assembly in October 2015, in protest against the Kosovo government's planned association agreement with Serbia and border resolution agreement with Montenegro. The following month, she and two other opposition parliamentarians set off another canister in a hallway that government delegates were using as an exit following a budget vote. She was subsequently placed under house arrest for a time. She defended her actions at a press conference in January 2016, describing the government's proposed agreements as unconstitutional and the government itself as illegitimate.
Kadaj Bujupi resigned from the AAK in March 2016, after the party's decision to end its support for the tear gas protests, and joined Vetëvendosje shortly thereafter. In 2016–17, she was a member of the stabilization and association committee and the committee on European integration.
She appeared in the ninth position on Vetëvendosje's list in the 2017 Kosovan parliamentary election, finished tenth among the party's candidates, and was re-elected when the list won thirty-two seats. A PDK–AAK coalition won the election, and Vetëvendosje emerged as the largest party in opposition.
In January 2018, Kadaj Bujupi and fellow Vetëvendosje parliamentarians Albin Kurti, Albulena Haxhiu, and Faton Topalli received suspended sentences of up to eighteen months for their previous actions in the Kosovo parliament. Under the terms of the ruling, they would avoid jail time if they did not commit the same crime for a two-year probation period.
Vetëvendosje experienced serious internal divisions after Albin Kurti was chosen as party leader in January 2018, and in March of that year Kadaj Bujupi returned to the AAK. The party was part of Kosovo's coalition government at this time, and she served as a government supporter. Kadaj Bujupi was a member of the European integration committee and a commission of inquiry on expenses by the presidency and the government of Kosovo.
Kadaj Bujupi appeared in the ninth position on the AAK's list for the 2019 parliamentary election. On this occasion, she finished in twenty-first place. The party won thirteen seats, and, due to the ongoing requirement for one-third female representation, she received the party's final assembly mandate. She served on the committee on legislation, mandates, immunities, rules of procedure of the assembly, and oversight of the anti-corruption agency.
Vetëvendosje won the 2019 election and initially formed a new coalition ministry with the LDK, while the AAK once again served in opposition. Kurti's first administration fell from power in 2020, and a new administration was formed afterward by the LDK and AAK. Kadaj Bujupi did not personally support the coalition, however, and abstained from voting for LDK leader Avdullah Hoti as prime minister. She was not a candidate in the 2021 parliamentary election.
Kadaj Bujupi ran for mayor of Istog in the 2013 Kosovan local elections, with a dual endorsement from the AAK and the Democratic League of Dardania (LDD). She finished second against incumbent mayor Haki Rugova from the LDK.
Kadaj Bujupi was appointed as an advisor to Kosovo president Vjosa Osmani on 3 April 2023. | [

75,685,209 | Frank Ledger | Sir Joseph Francis Ledger (29 October 1899 – 8 April 1993), widely known as Frank Ledger, was an Western Australian businessman and philanthropist. Knighted in 1963, he supported agricultural development, advocated for sports, and his legacy includes the Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust.
Ledger was born on 29 October 1899, in East Perth, Western Australia. He was the third of nine children born to Edson Ledger and Annie Francis née Sumner. At age fourteen, he started an apprenticeship with his father and uncle's engineering firm J. and E. Ledger, during which he gained diverse skills in general engineering, blacksmithing, and founding.
Ledger enlisted in the Australian Imperial Force on 4 May 1918, during World War I. The war concluded while he was still training in Victoria, and Ledger was discharged on 24 December. He worked in various engineering fields, including motor vehicles, whilst also attending night classes at Perth Technical School. In 1923, he married Gladys Muriel Lyons.
After the death of his father in 1924, Ledger took on more responsibilities in the family business. The firm was officially incorporated as a company in September, marking the beginning of Ledger's long tenure at the helm. In response to the economic challenges of the Great Depression, Ledger expanded the business activities to include brickmaking, pottery, and manufacturing print machinery. He also expanded the businesses' premises, acquired additional land, and developed the sales side of the business. Ledger's leadership continued until 1965 when the company was sold to Mitchell Cotts, a British firm.
During his career, Ledger played a pivotal role in the industrial landscape of Western Australia. Notably, he was the instigator and inaugural president of the Institute of Foundrymen in 1943, aimed at raising standards and promoting metallurgical advancements. His involvement extended to various associations, including the Metropolitan Ironmaster’s Association, the West Australian Chamber of Manufactures, and the Western Australian Employers Federation. Ledger's commitment to industrial development for economic growth led him to support future Premier Charles Court's entry into politics. His dedication to fostering economic growth extended beyond industry to agricultural development, notably the Ord River Scheme and initiatives near Esperance. Ledger was knighted during the 1963 royal visit in recognition for his contributions to industry.
Apart from his professional endeavors, Ledger maintained a passion for sports including football, yachting, and horse racing. He was vice-president of the East Perth Football Club from 1936 to 1941, was vice-president and later president of the Western Australian Trotting Association in the 1960s and 1970s, and was the initial chairman of the Australian Harness Racing Council. Ledger oversaw the redevelopment of Gloucester Park, including the building of grandstands and modernisation of public amenities.
In his later years, Ledger faced financial challenges, and the management of his estate became a subject of controversy. As his health worsened, His grandson Kim took over, eventually repurchasing the family company, which was renamed Ledger Engineering. However, by 1993 the company was in receivership, and Ledger died on 8 April 1993 with his estate in debt.
Ledger's legacy endures through the Sir Frank Ledger Charitable Trust, established in 1971 to providing financial support for young people, and a scholarship at the University of Western Australia Business School bears his name. Ledger was recognised as one of the most influential Western Australian businesspeople in The West Australian's 2013 list of the 100 most influential. | [

75,685,217 | Samuel Schellinger | Samuel Schellinger comes from a long line of woodworking craftsmen in East Hampton. For generations, his ancestors had created pieces of furniture and worked on various woodworking projects.
Samuel's father Jonathan (1763-1829), was a carpenter and furniture-maker. Further back in the family tree, William Schellinx (spelled with a Dutch touch), a early relative of Samuel's constructed and furnished the East Hampton town prison back in 1698. Samuel had 6 siblings born to Elizabeth Schellinger (born Stratton): Elizabeth Schellenger, Alben Derby Schellenger, Jacob Schellinger; Phebe Schellinger; Jonathan Schellinger; Hannah Conklin; and 1 other Half brother, Sylvester Schellinger, born of Hannah Schellinger, his step-mother.
Samuel married Alba (Betsey Darby) in 1795, at age 29. Alba was born in 1774, in Amagansett, New York. They had 5 children: Elisheba Schellinger, Mercy Baker (born Schellinger), Hannah Waters Cartwright, Mary Ann Miller and Alben Derby Schellenger.
Schellinger established a business in East Hampton, seeking large construction projects, such as windmills, houses, and barns. He travelled widely for large projects like windmills both on the North and South Forks of Long Island and also Nantucket, Block Island and Brooklyn, NY. A boatwright, he also worked at Sag Harbor in the early days of whaling. In addition to his involvement in large construction projects, Schellinger also dedicated a portion of his time to the creation of furniture, small wooden objects, and tools. A sizable business, he had a crew of assistant carpenters and was well regarded.
Beginning in 1795, new windmills were built with their gears enclosed inside six or eight-sided tapering wood-shingled walls in the shape of farmer’s petticoats, or “smocks.” They became known as Smock Windmills. The year 1795 also coincided with the end of the American Revolution, and people, for whatever it was worth, began to think more about using new technologies, particularly European technologies. Windmills, with their sails, shafts, gears and two spinning stone platters inside, suddenly took hold, used for grinding by manipulating the stones with levers so corn or grain could be crushed between the stones.
Interestingly, even with their “smocks,” eastern Long Island windmills were never considered buildings. They were considered farm equipment, and they could be bought and sold and moved from place to place. Many windmills have histories of having been in four or five different places before they came to where they are today. The timbers that run along the base of the windmills rest merely on large boulders, not on foundations. The mills could be easily moved around.
It was also discovered by a local clock maker named Nathanial Dominy that the windmill cap could be turned so the blades could face the changing location of arriving wind not just by using a long “tail pole” with a wheel at the end—which could move along the ground as people pushed it, dragging the cap way up at the top along—but by the operation of new gears inside.
The technology of cast-iron gears was already in use in English smock mills and Schellinger bought the gears he used on Beebe’s mill in New York City.
The Pantigo Mill was built by Samuel Schellinger for Huntting Miller in 1804 at the end of Mill Hill Lane. His assistants were David Sherril, James, Richard and Mathew Raynor. Months later, Nathaniel Dominy started work on the nearby Gardiner Mill, for an ownership group of seven or eight people, just across the green (the Gardiner Mill has never moved from its original location).
The mill was built in 1804 on Hunting Miller’s farm in East Hampton. Moved in 1850 to Egypt’s Lane, it was moved once again in 1917 to Mulford Farm across from Town Pond in East Hampton.
The Pantigo Mill was eventually moved to where the Verizon Building sits, and then again. It was disabled by a storm in 1879 and bought by the Buek family, who moved it to its final location, behind Home, Sweet Home, AKA the Mulford Farm.
According to his apprentice, William Baker, Schellinger built windmills at Brooklyn and Block Island, also in New York; and Nantucket, Massachusetts. He also did considerable work on boats at Sag Harbor.
The 1814 construction details of the windmill at Amagansett by Schellinger is unclear as to whether it had a tailpole to turn the cap. Later photographs show a fantail in place. A gasoline engine used to pump water set the mill ablaze and it burnt down in 1924.
Samuel Schellinger played a role in bringing innovations from England to eastern Long Island. In 1820, he constructed a groundbreaking windmill for Captain Lester Beebe in Sag Harbor. This windmill, the first of its kind, incorporated several revolutionary features.
Most notable was the addition of a fantail, a mechanism that automatically adjusted the position of the mill's sails to face the wind. This ingenious design ensured optimal wind capture, maximizing the mill's efficiency and productivity. Additionally, Schellinger implemented centrifugal governors, which helped regulate the speed of the millstones. These governors maintained a consistent grinding speed, resulting in finer and more consistent flour production.
Another feature of the Beebe Windmill was the use of cast-iron bevel gearing. This type of gearing, known for its durability and precision, significantly improved the mill's overall performance. By incorporating this advanced technology, Schellinger elevated the efficiency and reliability of the windmill.
Schellinger embarked on the construction of Captain Lester Beebe's windmill on September 5, 1820, and diligently worked for 119 days until its completion in January. Throughout this project, Schellinger was supported by two apprentices, namely William Baker and Carl, who assisted him in various aspects of the construction process.
Additionally, another skilled carpenter, Pardon T. Tabor (1779-1842), played a significant role in the building of the windmill. Tabor's involvement is evident as he charged Lester Beebe for 89 days of "work on Mill," beginning on the same day as Schellinger, September 5, 1820. Tabor's expertise extended beyond windmill construction, as he was known for his craftsmanship in furniture-making, shipbuilding, and overseeing large-scale construction projects in Sag Harbor.
Although the construction of wind-powered gristmills declined in the region after 1820, the innovations introduced in the Beebe Windmill had a lasting impact. The concepts pioneered by Schellinger were later adapted and applied to many existing mills in the area, enhancing their functionality and bringing them up to par with the latest advancements.
Nathan Topping Cook, based in Bridgehampton, was a skilled carpenter, wheelwright, and furniture maker. He also contributed to local mills with his expertise. While he was a part owner of the windmill at Haye Ground, near Bridgehampton, Samuel Schellinger is credited with building the mill.
The original construction of 1809 used a tailpole to turn the sails. It was later retro fitted with a fantail after 1820. The details of the gearing are identical to the Beebe windmill, a Schellinger innovation.

75,685,257 | G String (video game) | G String is a 2020 first-person shooter video game developed by Eyaura and published by LunchHouse Software for Windows. The game is set in a dystopian cyberpunk future in a far future North America ravished by climate change, pollution, economic inequality and civil unrest. The player controls Myo Hyori, a teenage girl fighting to survive against the state, their corporate backers, rogue machines and the polluted landscape.
G String is a single-player first person shooter where the player takes control of Myo Hyori. The game mechanically functions very similarly to Half-Life 2, which the game's code was based upon. All of the game's enemies and weapons are reskins of what was seen in said game. There are a few new additions though, such as Myo's pyrokinesis ability, the scanmine and the sizzler.
TBA
G String began development in 2006 with architectural study maps made in Garry's Mod. After a couple of years, the developer got the idea to turn these maps into a mod for Half-Life 2. The project was initially called Garbe In, Garbage Out but it was later named to Slacker before it received it's final name . The mod was eventually released in 2011 . Soon after the release of the mod she began to receive feed back on it, so she decided to keep working on the project and to turn it into a full game. . Although she made the original G-String mod by herself, she decided to get a team together to help make the game . G-String released in 2020 and it was published by indie publishing company LunchHouse Software. however soon after it's release, Eyaura began to work on a major update for the game as she still wanted to rework some of the level design and fix some of the game's bugs. This released on December 21st, 2020 and it was called the A-Cup update..
Soon after the release of A-Cup, another larger update (the B-Cup update) entered the works. It released on July 16th, 2021. . It redid a lot of the game's mapping, fixed a lot of the game's bugs and provided many other small adjustments to the game as well. Soon after another version of the game entered production. This version became later known as G-String - Ultimate Edition. A trailer for it released on June 29th, 2023. The Ultimate Edition is still currently in developed and it plans to just overall make the game as detailed and polished as it can be (by polishing up and adding new things to the game's pre-existing maps, adding in new scripted sequences and redoing some of the character and weapon models). The developer is excited to release this version of the game as recent upgrades LunchHouse has made to the Source Engine have allowed Eyaura to make her game much more detailed and expansive than it was beforehand.
G String has received generally positive reviews, with reviewers praising it's atmosphere, themes and worldbuilding although it has received criticism for it's gameplay and it's storyline. | [

75,685,264 | Ellen M. Stone | Ellen M. Stone was an American missionary teacher who was kidnapping victim in the course of her work.
Ellen Maria Stone was born in Roxbury, Mass., July 24, 1846. Her parents were Benjamin F. and Lucy (Waterman) Stone. Stone was of New England ancestry on both sides.
On her father's side, she descended from Gregory Stone, who, with his wife Lydia, came from Suffolk County, England, about 1636, and settled in Cambridge, Mass. His brother Simon had preceded him to the U.S., settling in Watertown, Mass. Gregory Stone was a member of the Colonial Legion, and his name appears in volume one of the Provincial Records.
Stone's great-grandfather on the paternal side, Eliphalet Stone, of Marlborough, N.H.. He served in the Revolutionary War. His son Shubael, Miss Stone's grandfather, enlisted in the same regiment toward the close of the war. The latter also served in the War of 1812, as captain of a company which he recruited. Miss Stone's mother remembers re-unions of this company, with dinner served on the lawn at the homestead in Marlborough, in which town she lived after marriage. The wife of Shubael Stone was Polly Rogers, of an old New England family. Miss Stone also claims descent, through her maternal grandmother, Lucy Waterman Barker, from the Pilgrim warrior, Captain Myles Standish.
Benjamin Franklin Stone, father of Miss Stone, was connected with the militia of New Hampshire and Massachusetts, being a member of the Norfolk Guard, afterward known as the Roxbury City Guard, during his residence in that town. The last surviving member of the Marlborough family of 13 children was Julia R. Towne, of Evanston, Ill.
Upon the outbreak of the Civil War Miss Stone's two eldest brothers enlisted, and served three years each, the eldest, George Franklin, in the Army of the Potomac, and the second, Edwin Cornelius, in the navy. The father enlisted in Company K, Forty-third Massachusetts Infantry, and saw service at Newbern and Little Washington, N.C. The father and his two sons returned home upon the expiration of their term of service, uninjured.
Ellen was educated in the elementary branches at Shurtleff Grammar School, in Roxbury schools, and after 1860, in the grammar and high schools of Chelsea. As a school-girl, Ellen Stone was a leader.
After graduating from the latter, she taught school for a while in Chelsea (1866-67). From 1867 to 1878 she was on the editorial staff of the Congregationalist, with especial charge of the church news, children's department, poetry, and the missionary department.
Deeply imbued with religious feeling, she became interested in foreign missions. Her special 'call' came through a sermon preached by Dr. Alden, her friend, Susan B. Higgins, being led to the same work by the same sermon. Some years of work in the Christian church and Sunday-school followed. Her home church was the First Congregational.
She was appointed in 1878, by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, as missionary to Bulgaria. The circumstances in connection with her capture by brigands, September 3, 1901, on a mountain road in Macedonia, and her subsequent detention by them for nearly six months, pending the payment of her ransom, were given wide newspaper publicity. Her narration of these events was published in McClure's Magazine, May-October, 1902.
On reaching Samokov, Bulgaria, Stone's assigned workplace, she entered upon her duties in the Boarding-school for Girls, as assistant to Miss E. T. Maltbie, teaching English branches, while learning the new language.
After becoming familiar with the language, her field of usefulness widened, as the Board then appointed her superintendent of the "Bible women", who taught in the towns and villages of the country, that younger children (than the pupils at the boarding-school) and their mothers should be reached. These were Bulgarian women who had converted to the Christian faith, and were in many cases graduates from the school.
As these workers were appointed by and were under the instruction and guidance of Miss Stone, she visited them at regular intervals. These visits required many hours overland. When Miss Stone entered into this larger work, her home was at Philippopolis. In 1898, the increase in her work, and the call from Macedonia caused the Board to assign her to Salonica. Here, associated with Dr. House and Messrs. Baird and Haskell and their families, she carried on a work in that city, which included many conversions among the sailors from the British fleet, anchored for a time in Salonica Harbor. Miss Stone had endured the heat of a Salonican summer, with the exception of one trip to Samokov. She also went to Bansko for a three weeks' training school with her Bible women, when on returning from there, with an unusually large company of workers, she was seized by brigands. She was released from captivity after payment of a large ransom.
Since her return to the U.S., she lived quietly in Chelsea, Mass. Some part of her time was given to lecturing on missionary subjects, including her own personal experience in the missionary field. | [

75,685,272 | Haini Hashim | Haini bin Hashim (Russian: Хайни Хашим) is a Brunei artist and diplomat who became the ambassador to Russia from 2012 to 2022. He became the first Bruneian to be honored as a member of the Russian Academy of Arts in 2017.
Earlier in Haiti's career, he took office as the head of protocol in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MOFAT). The Russian Embassy held a celebration on 3 June 2012, in honour of Haini, the newly appointed ambassador of Brunei to Russia, who would be leaving for Moscow. On the 25th, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah gave his approval for three recently chosen Brunei envoys—among them, Haini, the country's designated ambassador to Russia—to receive letter of credence. In December, he accompanied Mustappa Sirat on his working visit to the Russia.
In 2012, 2013, and 2016, the Sultan made three trips to Russia. Brunei was visited by Sergey Lavrov in 2012 and 2013. The two nations inked a number of Memorandum of Understandings (MoU) in the areas of commerce, energy, defense, education, and culture. Among Haini's major accomplishments during his ten years in Moscow were raising awareness of Brunei among the general public and officials, encouraging them to explore further avenues for cooperation, and establishing 14-day visa-free travel between Brunei and Russia in 2017, which in turn promoted tourism. Additionally, he built stronger understanding and improved cooperation in the area of Islamic faith and improved bilateral partnerships, particularly in the areas of education and tourism.
From 24 to 26 April 2018, he once again accompanied Halbi Mohammad Yussof to attend the 9th International Meeting of High-Ranking Officials Responsible for Security Matters in Sochi.
Haini claimed to be a self-taught artist who had never received any professional training or instruction in the arts. Through reading and observation, he developed his knowledge base, which in turn helped him to hone his unique visual aesthetic. In addition to his passion in abstract painting, he also likes painting landscapes and other natural subjects using oil paints. His career as a diplomat has provided him with significant benefits in exploring ideals and associated experiences in art. In order to foster bilateral collaboration between the two nations, he uses his art shows in Russia.
Haini runs a private gallery at his home in Kampong Sungai Tilong.
In his fifth year as Brunei's ambassador, the Russian Academy of Arts gave him an honorary membership, making him the first Bruneian to earn such a distinction. He has earned the following honours; | [

75,685,292 | José Sinval | José Sinval de Campos (born 6 April 1967), known as José Sinval or Sinval, is a Brazilian football striker who mainly played in Switzerland and Spain. He settled in Switzerland and became a coach.
Sinval began his career in Ponte Preta, but was scouted during a youth tournament in Qatar. He moved to Switzerland as a part of a "Brazilian invasion" of the country's football scene. He joined Servette FC in 1986. Aged only 19, he still managed to take the place of French international Bernard Genghini.
After winning the 1993–94 Nationalliga A with Servette, he dreamt of a transfer to Serie A. This did not happen, but in 1995 he left Swiss football to join CP Mérida. He faced relegation from the 1995–96 La Liga, but helped win the 1996–97 Segunda División, only to be relegated once more from the 1997–98 La Liga. El Periódico Extremadura called him "one of the most charismatic players in the club's history".
Following a spell with Pachuca in Mexico, he returned to Switzerland in an attempt to rejoin Servette. He was not wanted by Servette at the time, and a trial with FC Wil and talks with Racing Ferrol did not come to fruition, with Sinval ultimately being signed by Étoile Carouge in the Swiss second tier. In 2005, though past his prime, he moved back to Mérida and the club Mérida UD. The transfer was orchestrated by the club president, whose father had been president in the 1990s. The club contested the 2005–06 Segunda División B, and his playing was contingent on obtaining an Italian passport.
Sinval married for the second time in 2022. He considered himself Swiss after residing there for several decades, but had not acquired a Swiss passport. | [

75,685,330 | Ivan Kyncl | Ivan Kyncl (15 April 1953 – 6 October 2004) was a Czech-born British theatre photographer. After fleeing his native Czechoslovakia in 1980, he became a British citizen and worked as the Royal Shakespeare Company's house photographer as well as in numerous other theatres in the United Kingdom until his death in 2004.
Kyncl was born in Prague on 15 April 1953. He was not allowed to enter university on account of his father being imprisoned, subsequently becoming a professional photographer and taking photos of political prisoners and dissidents in Czechoslovakia. His photography involved shooting on location at prisons and courts, and using hidden cameras for close objects, as well as telephoto lenses for things he could not approach. He left his home country in 1980.
In 1980 Kyncl was granted asylum in the United Kingdom, before becoming the Royal Shakespeare Company's house photographer in the 1980s. He also worked for the Royal Court Theatre, the Almeida Theatre, and the Royal National Theatre. In his lifetime he gained British citizenship.
His parents were Jiřina Kynclová, who survived him, and writer Karel Kyncl [cs], a Charter 77 signatory, who died in 1997. Kyncl died in 2004 at the age of 51 due to heart failure. He was survived by his wife of 23 years, Alena.
In 2007, the first Czech exhibition solely of Kyncl's work was held in Prague. Czech Television broadcast a documentary about Kyncl's life in 2017, titled Mistr objektivu - Ivan Kyncl. In 2019 his work went on display for four months at London's Victoria and Albert Museum. | [

75,685,524 | Ron O'Reilly | Ronald (Ron) Norris O’Reilly (1914-1982) was a librarian who also played a significant role in promoting and exhibiting contemporary New Zealand art.
Ron O’Reilly was born in New Plymouth and attended New Plymouth Boys High. After completing an MA in Philosophy at Otago University in 1941 he taught part-time there for four years before completing the New Zealand Library Diploma at the Library School in Wellington.
From 1947 to 1951 O’Reilly organised the Country Library Service and worked on the provision of libraries in prisons and the library of the Health Department. In 1951 O’Reilly was appointed Christchurch City Librarian and lived in that city for the next 17 years. A progressive member of the profession, O’Reilly removed charges on borrowing which raised lending rates by 300 percent. He also established an art lending library. At first this was a library of art prints, but in 1955 the City Council agreed to include original works by artists. By the time O’Reilly left the Library in 1968 the loan collection consisted of 125 artworks and when the Library stopped collecting in 1981, it had grown to 297 works. This collection is now held in the Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetū. During his time as Christchurch City Librarian O’Reilly took two years leave of absence and served as a visiting Professor at the Institute of Librarianship at the University of Ibadan in Nigeria. The visit sparked an enthusiasm for Nigerian Sculpture and the beginnings of his collection of this work. In 1968 he left Christchurch to become Director and lecturer at the NZ Library School, Wellington where he worked until his official retirement in 1974.
From his student days at Otago University O’Reilly was a close friend of the artist Colin McCahon. The first ‘modern painting’ O’Reilly remembered seeing was in 1939 when he had a part in Fredrich Wolf's play Professor Mamlock. McCahon designed the set which included one of his paintings. O’Reilly became a passionate collector, supporter and advisor to McCahon and, while on a short secondment to the Lower Hutt Municipal Library helped organise McCahon’s first survey exhibition of 44 works in the Wellington Public Library in 1947. A selection from this exhibition was also shown at the library in Lower Hutt. The following year O’Reilly helped McCahon secure an exhibition in Wellington’s newly opened Gallery of Helen Hitchings. The friendship of the two men was largely held together by letters as they mostly lived in different cities. An exception was a brief period when O’Reilly moved to Christchurch in 1951 when he showed McCahon’s On Building Bridges in the library. An major effect of the exhibition came out of a visit to the Library by Eric Westbrook, recently appointed director of Auckland City Art Gallery. On seeing On building bridges, he offered McCahon a life-changing job at the Gallery in Auckland.
Throughout their long friendship O’Reilly often accompanied McCahon on his walking field trips taking photographs, looking for subjects and discussing features of the landscape with the artist. The art dealer Peter McLeavey recalled of O’Reilly, ‘He was always taking photographs: he had a sense of history, and the importance of recording the present.’ In recognition of their association, in 1972 McCahon asked O’Reilly to write the introduction to his major survey exhibition Colin McCahon: A Survey Exhibition.
O’Reilly was also a long-term collector of McCahon’s work making purchases from the mid-1940s to the end of the 1970s. 1969 seventeen works from his collection were shown at Peter McLeavey Gallery. The Dominion commented, ‘It is ironic that one of the best collections of the best artist in New Zealand has been bought by a private citizen….while one assumes the National Art Gallery apparently ignored the artist.’ Over the years McCahon also gifted O’Reilly a number of works including the paintings Crucifixion according to Saint Mark, King of the Jews, and Singing Woman.
O’Reilly was appointed Director of New Plymouth’s contemporary art gallery the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery in 1975. He was 61 with no experience in the profession. Art writer Wystan Curnow described the appointment as ‘bold’ with its reliance on O’Reilly’s administrative experience and the connections he had made as a collector and supporter of contemporary New Zealand art. His arrival at the gallery coincided with the installation of three large Len Lye kinetic sculptures including Trilogy. Unfortunately the gyrations created by Trilogy cracked the main beam of the new Gallery. Unfazed, O’Reilly gave the go-ahead for the beam to be braced and the installation completed. This was the beginning of the Gallery’s unique relationship with Len Lye. O’Reilly went on to become a key figure in an expanding partnership with the artist that eventually changed the Gallery dramatically when it became the Govett Art Gallery/Len Lye Centre in 2015. One of the first exhibitions O’Reilly curated at the Govett-Brewster was McCahon’s “Necessary Protection”. As Wystan Curnow points out, ‘Apart from Colin McCahon a Survey, for which O’Reilly wrote the catalogue introduction, it was, ‘the only solo public gallery exhibition offered to McCahon in his lifetime’
Other exhibitions O’Reilly curated or organised during his directorship include:
O’Reilly left the Govett-Brewster in 1979.
During his four years as Director of the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, O’Reilly encountered a number of challenges as he attempted to continue the Gallery’s mandate to purchase works representative of current ideas even if they were seen as difficult. The first confrontation came the year he arrived when the local Fire Department ordered the removal of Billy Apple’s Neon Accumulation on the Gallery’s back stairs as a hazard. There were further complaints when O’Reilly accepted the work as a gift from the artist to the Gallery. The following year attempts to purchase Christine Hellyar's sculpture Country clothesline were equally contentious with a public ‘outcry’ over its cost and content. One City Councillor described the work as, ‘the most appalling misappropriation of public money I have ever seen.’ O’Reilly, who had already been involved in a similar refusal by the City Council to purchase Colin McCahon’s I am Scared, held firm and both items eventually entered the collection. | [

75,685,655 | Rithm Capital | Rithm Capital (Rithm) is an American investment management company headquartered in New York that focuses on real estate and alternative investments.
On May 16, 2013, Newcastle Investment Corp, a real estate investment trust (REIT) under Fortress Investment Group spunoff its residential mortgage related assets into a new REIT named New Residential Investment Corp. New Residential was listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker 'NRZ' and would focus on investments related to mortgage servicing rights (MSR). There was a management agreement between New Residential and Fortress which stated Fortress would act as New Residential's manager and ws entitled to 25% of the funds from operations as well as any profits from the sale of assets. In September 2013, Fortress hired Michael Nierenberg, Bank of America's head of global mortgages and securitized products to run New Residential.
In February 2015, New Residential acquired Home Loan Servicing Solutions for $1.3 billion.
In January 2017, Citigroup sold $97 billion worth of MSRs to New Residential for $950 million as part of its plan to exit the mortgage servicing business. In February, New Residential joined a consortium that included Jefferies, Third Point Management and Soros Fund Management to acquired $5 billion worth of unsecured forward flow consumer loans from Prosper Marketplace. In December, New Residential acquired Mortgage Lender Shellpoint Partners for $190 million.
In February 2019, Ditech filed for bankruptcy and in October sold its forward mortgage business to New Residential for $1.2 billion.
In April 2021, Newrez a mortgage lending and servicing unit under New Residential agreed to acquire Caliber Home Loans from Lone Star Funds in a $1.675 billion deal. In February 2022, Newrez laid off 386 employees or about 3% of its mortgage division.
In October 2021, New Residential acquired Genesis Capital from Goldman Sachs.
In June 2022, New Residential became independent from Fortress by terminating its management agreement by paying a termination fee of $400 million and rebranded as Rithm Capital with the ticker 'RITM'. It was done to reduce costs of around $60 to $65 million and attract more institutional investors who avoid externally managed structures. It retain the employees of Fortress who were now permanently with Rithm and would be internally managed going forward
In July 2023, after Goldman Sachs closed its consumer lending arm Marcus, it sold $1 billion of Marcus Loans to Värde Partners and $1.4 billion to Rithm.
In July 2023, Sculptor Capital Management agreed to be acquired by Rithm for $639 million which was $11.15 per share. In August, Sculptor received a higher bid from a consortium of hedge funds led by Saba Capital Management along with Pershing Square Capital Management and Avenue Capital Group. Daniel Och was not satisfied with Rithm's offer and felt it didn't reflect the full value of the company. In October, Rithm increased its bid to $720 million at $12.70 per share which was accepted by both Sculptor and Och. Although the consortium offered an even higher bid, it was rejected as Sculptor did not believe it could be delivered. On November 17, the deal was completed after the shareholders agreed to the acquisition. | [

One of the oldest colonisations in the History occurred around 1000 BC, the Sabeans of southern Arabia, with a civilization based on agriculture, began to colonize the highlands of northern Ethiopia and Eritrea. The indigenous peoples with whom the southern Arabs came into contact were the ancestors of the contemporary Agew people. In the area of contact, fusion of southern Arabian culture and Agäw culture resulted in a third culture which are today known as the Habesha people.
The Sabean occupation and influence allowed for Ethiopia to develop several civilizations like D'mt but also the Kingdom of Aksum and left a very important mark in Ethiopian history and culture, a team of German archaeologists also recently concluded that all fundamental characteristics of Aksumite society derive from earlier populations in the Near East and South Arabia. | [

75,685,993 | Hygrocybe andersonii | Hygrocybe andersonii is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. Its common names are Gulfshore Waxcap and Clustered Dune Hygrocybe The species has a North American distribution, occurring mainly on sand dune shorelines along the Gulf Coast. It was published by Dr. William Cibula and Nancy S. Weber in 1996, with the specific epithet honoring Mississippi watercolorist Walter Inglis Anderson.
Basidiocarps are agaricoid, the cap convex with a flattened to depressed disc. 1.3cm to 3.3cm across. The cap surface is smooth to slightly scurfy, varying from yellow orange to scarlet, becoming reddish brown to almost black with age. The lamellae (gills) are waxy, yellow orange to deep orange, becoming blackish with age. The stipe (stem) is smooth, colored like the cap, yellow towards base, lacking a ring. The spore print is white, the spores (under a microscope) smooth, rod-shaped with distinct projection, inamyloid, hyaline, measuring about 16 to 19 by 3.8 to 5.6 μm.
The Gulfshore Waxcap is found in North America, occurring exclusively along the Gulf Coast on shorelines. The mycelium spreads between the grains of sand dunes, and is associated with seaside rosemary (Ceratiola ericoides). This species is believed to play an important part in dune stabilization of barrier islands.
Recent research suggests waxcaps are neither mycorrhizal nor saprotrophic but may be associated with mosses.
Dr. Cibula wrote that the name of the species was to honor Walter Inglis Anderson who “first encountered and painted this Hygrocybe in 1960.”
The work he references in Mycologia as “Watercolor No. 416, Anderson collection” may be "Dunes - Horn Island (1958) ”. | [

75,686,030 | Manuel Cedeño | Manuel Cedeño (Cardonal, Aragua state, Venezuela, 6 May 1780 - Battle of Carabobo, Venezuela, 24 June 1821) was an officer of the Venezuelan Patriot army who reached the position of Division General, who distinguished himself in the Venezuelan War of Independence.
He was the youngest of the two children of the peasants Manuel Antonio Cedeño and Juana Hernández.
In 1810, he joined the Patriot troops fighting against the Spanish Royalist troops, participating in almost all the battles that occurred in Venezuela between 1813 and 1817.
With José Francisco Bermúdez he took the city of Angostura, evacuated by the Royalists after a long siege on 7 July 1817. By order of Simón Bolívar, he arrested dissident General Manuel Piar in Aragua de Maturín and transfered him to Angostura to be tried by a military court and executed.
In 1818 he accompanied Bolívar in the Central Campaign, winning the Battle of Calabozo (12 February), but suffering defeat at Laguna de los Patos (20 May). He was a deputy of the Congress of Angostura between 15 February 1819 and 31 July 1821.
As a general, he led the II Division of the Army in the Battle of Carabobo (24 June 1821). After the battle was won, Cedeño wanted to stop the retreat of the Royalist Valencey Battalion, but was hit by a bullet and died that same day.
Since 16 December 1942, his remains rest in the National Pantheon of Venezuela. | [

75,686,089 | Khoo Teck Puat Hospital shooting | On 20 June 2015, 23-year-old Muhammad Iskandar bin Sa'at, a former deliveryman who was then in police custody for vehicle theft, was brought to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital for treatment of his chest pain. While he was at the hospital, Iskandar attempted to escape by assaulting a police officer, Staff Sergeant (SSGT) Muhammad Sadli bin Razali, and even snatched the policeman's revolver and fired three live rounds at the officer, who was injured but survived. Iskandar, who failed to escape, was subsequently arrested and charged with discharging a firearm, an offence that carried the mandatory death penalty under the Arms Offences Act. Later, Iskandar's charge was reduced to possession of a firearm with intent to cause harm, and after he pleaded guilty, Iskandar was sentenced to a mandatory life sentence and 18 strokes of the cane in March 2018.
On the evening of 20 June 2015, a shooting incident broke out at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital in Yishun, Singapore. While there were no fatalities, a 31-year-old police officer was injured while the suspected shooter, who was a patient in the hospital, was arrested.
According to the media and court documents, the day before the shooting incident, the suspect, a 23-year-old Singaporean deliveryman named Muhammad Iskandar bin Sa'at, was arrested with two others for stealing a lorry at Sembawang, and was charged with the offence the following morning. One of them was Iskandar’s pregnant girlfriend, and the other was 24-year-old Muhammad Taufiq bin Jasmi, who was jailed for five months and fined S$800 after he pleaded guilty to the crime. While he was in custody at Ang Mo Kio Police Division for the lorry theft, Iskandar informed the police that he was suffering from chest pains, and asked for a doctor. Therefore, the police decided to bring him to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital to undergo treatment.
After reaching the hospital, Iskandar, escorted by two policemen, was warded in a hospital room reserved for patients under police custody, and was given an IV drip, and his arms were restrained to the bed. Later, a doctor requested that the restraint on Iskandar’s left arm be loosened to allow for blood to be drawn, but after failing for the first time, the doctor left before he would return to try again. One of the officers, Staff Sergeant (SSGT) Muhammad Sadli bin Razali, did not tighten the restraint as he expected the doctor to return for another blood withdrawal attempt. Afterwards, SSGT Sadli left the ward to inquire about Iskandar’s treatment, leaving his partner, Sergeant (SGT) Muhammad Fairuz Sutrisno, to guard Iskandar. While SSGT Sadli was away, Iskandar requested to have his right arm restraint loosened as well as he felt discomfort, and SGT Fairuz agreed to do so. In fact, by then, Iskandar had planned to escape.
Without knowing that Iskandar's arm restraints were loosened, SSGT Sadli returned to the room. Later, Iskandar requested for snacks and drinks, and therefore, SGT Fairuz left the hospital ward to get some food, and SSGT Sadli was left alone with Iskandar. Later on, while guarding Iskandar, SSGT Sadli was on his phone at one point, and it was at that point, Iskandar found an opportunity to escape. He used the metal pole used for supporting IV drips to hit SSGT Sadli while the 31-year-old policeman was on the phone, causing SSGT Sadli to be caught by surprise. After doing so, Iskandar tried to leave the ward but SSGT Sadli grabbed ahold of his leg and a scuffle ensued between both men. SSGT Sadli's T-baton was dislodged during the struggle, and Iskandar used it to repeatedly hit the policeman. Iskandar eventually managed to leave the room and headed for a stairwell exit with SSGT Sadli hanging onto his leg, but the door was locked and SSGT Sadli was able to hinder Iskandar's attempt to escape in another direction.
As the struggle grew more intense, Iskandar managed to grab SSGT Sadli's loaded revolver, a .38 Taurus, from the holster. SSGT Sadli pushed Iskandar back into the room and he also pinned Iskandar's hand with the revolver to the ground. At the same time, two paramedics, Prakash Krishnan and Elfredo Jose Jr Rellita Abasolo, witnessed the scuffle and went to SSGT Sadli’s aid, and it was at this point, Iskandar discharged the revolver thrice through a pillow, and one of the bullets had hit SSGT Sadli on the foot, and a second live round struck SSGT Sadli on his left thumb, while the third shot missed. After this, three uniformed security officers joined in, and they were able to subdue Iskandar and disarm him. A male doctor also arrived to inject sedatives on Iskandar, therefore ending the scuffle and it led to Iskandar being arrested for the shooting.
Two days after the shooting incident, Home Affairs Minister Teo Chee Hean held a press conference, expressing that unlawful use of firearms was a serious offence in Singapore and the government would not tolerate offenders who commit these crimes. It was also updated that SSGT Sadli was in stable condition after he underwent surgery.
On 22 June 2015, two days after the shooting, 23-year-old Muhammad Iskandar bin Sa'at was charged with one count of illegally discharging a firearm three times at SSGT Muhammad Sadli bin Razali under Section 4(1) of the Arms Offences Act. If found guilty of this particular offence, Iskandar would be sentenced to death by hanging. Shortly after he was charged, Iskandar was allowed to speak to his brother, sister-in-law and other family members, but he was not granted bail as capital charges did not allow suspects to be released on bail. Not only that, Iskandar's family engaged veteran criminal lawyer Shashi Nathan and his colleague Tania Chin to represent Iskandar during his trial.
A week later, on 29 June 2015, Iskandar was brought back to court to face another two criminal charges. The first was voluntarily causing hurt to a public servant, and the second was attempting to escape from police custody. Subsequently, Iskandar was ordered to be remanded for three weeks at Changi Prison for psychiatric evaluation. The punishment for voluntarily causing hurt to a public servant carried a jail term of up to seven years with a fine or caning, while the penalty for attempted escape from police custody warranted the maximum sentence of 15 years in prison. On 20 July 2015, the remand order was extended by another three weeks.
Eventually, after some representations from Iskandar's defence counsel, the prosecution agreed to reduce Iskandar's charge of illegally discharging a firearm to a lesser offence of unlawful possession of a firearm with intent to cause harm to a public servant, which allowed Iskandar to avoid the death penalty. The reduced charge carried a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment and not less than six strokes of the cane. On 19 March 2018, Iskandar officially stood trial at the High Court for the reduced firearm charge. By then, Iskandar offered to plead guilty to the charge against him, and he consented to have the remaining lesser charges - one for stealing a lorry, one for hurting a public servant and another for attempting to escape lawful custody - taken into consideration during sentencing. The trial was presided over by Justice Chan Seng Onn of the High Court.
The prosecution, led by Deputy Public Prosecutor Kelly Ho and Kumarsen Gohulabalan, argued that Iskandar should be given 18 strokes of the cane in addition to a mandatory life term. They stated that this was "one of the worst cases" of violence against police officers, and Iskandar had unleashed wanton violence in a public place and caused huge public disquiet. Therefore, they asked for a deterrent punishment for Iskandar, who would have threatened the safety of medical staff and other patients at the hospital without SSGT Sadli’s intervention, and they stated that the officer was fortunate to be alive despite the severe injuries he sustained.
Iskandar's lawyers Shashi Nathan and Tania Chin did not object to the mandatory life sentence, but they asked for between 12 and 15 strokes of the cane, and stated that leniency should be given on account of Iskandar's acceptance of full responsibility and remorse, and Iskandar had no intention of shooting and hurting SSGT Sadli, since he only wanted to escape and due to the fact that Iskandar’s mother was sick at the time and that his girlfriend, who was caught for stealing a lorry with him, was pregnant, Iskandar wanted to escape to see them and to explain himself to his parents and girlfriend's family. He also added that having injected himself with heroin 27 hours before the arrest, Iskandar suffered from drug withdrawal symptoms and it also exacerbated his panic and impulsive behaviour at the time of the shooting and escape attempt.
On the same date, after closing submissions were completed, 26-year-old Muhammad Iskandar bin Sa'at was sentenced to life imprisonment and 18 strokes of the cane. In his oral sentencing remarks, Justice Chan stated that Iskandar had committed an extremely serious offence and Iskandar's actions also carried the high possibility of causing serious harm, and hence he found it appropriate to sentence Iskandar to life in prison and 18 strokes of the cane as what the prosecution requested. Nonetheless, Iskandar's parents were relieved at the sentence and Iskandar himself also broke down in relief at the sentence. Nathan also expressed his gratitude to the prosecution for having agreed to reduce the original charge against Iskandar after they carefully considered the circumstances behind the case, allowing Iskandar to be spared the gallows.
Iskandar, who did not appeal, is currently serving his life sentence at Changi Prison since the end of his trial. Although life imprisonment was meant to be a term of incarceration for the rest of one's natural life, Iskandar was entitled to the possibility of release on parole after completing at least 20 years of his jail term, provided that he served his sentence with good behaviour.
The shooting incident, which shocked the nation, prompted a discussion in the Parliament of Singapore. Home Affairs Minister Teo Chee Hean responded during the session that an independent review panel to investigate the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital shooting, and he assured that the police were adhering to the escort procedures. There were also proposals to review the safety and security protocols of policemen escorting suspects to hospital, and the Singapore Police Force's Internal Affairs Office also investigated for possible negligence of duty by the officers involved in the incident. Second Minister for Home Affairs Masagos Zulkifli similarly expressed that the investigations of the shooting could help identify any problems and the corrective actions required in the future.
The shooting case also led to national newspaper The Straits Times to interview former and current policemen about the general procedures of drawing firearms in situations similar to Iskandar's case. The case also attracted huge public attention, and Mothership also clarified public misconceptions that Iskandar would not face the death penalty, stating that while there was a possibility that Iskandar's charge could be modified, he would be sentenced to the mandatory death penalty under the Arms Offences Act if found guilty of the original charge, a fate which Iskandar ultimately evaded.
The Khoo Teck Puat shooting also recalled several past cases of suspects who snatched the guns of policemen while resisting arrest, as well as some high-profile gun crimes that occurred over the previous few years in Singapore, where gun violence was extremely rare. | [

Mount Hamilton rises within the Malte Brun Range just a few kilometers northeast of the eponymous 3199 m high Malte Brun. Apart from this, it is the only three-thousander in the range. The mountain is glaciated, for example the Wheeler Glacier lies on its southeast flank.
Mount Hamilton was named by Noel Brodrick, after a Sydney man who climbed in this part of the New Zealand Alps in the 1890s. Today it is part of the Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park.
The rock consists primarily of variants of sedimentary rocks of sandstone and mudstone. Basalt, limestone and chert also occur. The age of the mountain is estimated between 201 and 273 million years. | [

75,686,120 | Mount Yukla | Mount Yukla is a 7,569-foot (2,307 m) mountain summit in Alaska, United States.
Mount Yukla is located 25 miles (40 km) east of Anchorage in the western Chugach Mountains. It ranks as the highest peak in the Eagle River drainage, and fourth-highest peak within Chugach State Park. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains to Knik Arm via the Eagle River. Although modest in elevation, topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 6,870 feet (2,094 m) above the river in 1.8 miles (2.9 km).
The name "Yukla" was applied by Walter Curran Mendenhall in 1898 as the Denaʼina name for the Eagle River. "Yuklahina" or "Yukla" means "Eagle River." The mountain's toponym was proposed in 1963 by members of the Mountaineering Club of Alaska, and officially adopted in 1964 by the United States Board on Geographic Names. The first ascent of the summit was made on July 15, 1964, by John Bousman and Arthur Davidson via the East Face and Northeast Ridge.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Yukla is located in a tundra climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool summers. Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Chugach Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop below −10 °F with wind chill factors below −20 °F. This climate supports the Icicle Glacier on the east and north slopes. | [

75,686,273 | Insane 2 | Insane 2 (stylized as In2ane) is an off-road racing game developed by Targem Games and published by Game Factory Interactive. It is the sequel to the 2000 game Insane by Invictus Games, and was released for Windows in 2011. Players take control of an assortment of motor vehicles and drive across terrain in locations on most continents of the world, completing objectives in one of ten different game modes.
Development of the game started in 2009, when Codemasters, who owned the Insane trademark, licensed it to Targem Games. Invictus had no known input in the team's creative process, and so the latter relied on the details of the game to be succeeded and the reviews published at the time of its release. Notably, the team altered the game mechanics so as increase the dynamics of the gameplay at the expense of some physical realism. Critical reception of the game was mixed. The multiplayer mode was often praised, but many critics pointed out the absence of online servers near launch. The variety of the game modes was also praised, although some individual modes received criticism. Reviewers were divided on the artificial intelligence, level design, and graphics, but tended to be more unfavorable toward the sound and musical score. Publications from Hungary—where the series was born—reviewing the game considered it inferior to its predecessor.
Like the original Insane, Insane 2 is a racing game where players drive on terrain, vying to be the first to complete objectives. The races are set in fictional locations on four continents of Eurasia, North America, Africa, and Antarctica, and the maps permit a considerable amount of open world exploration and are wrapped around so that vehicles exiting one side of the map reappear on the opposite. Up to eight players drive in one of 18 four-wheeled motor vehicles divided into six classes: 4×4s, SUVs, pickups, trucks, monster trucks, and prototypes.
There are as many as ten game variations, most of which return from the original Insane. Besides traditional off-road racing, they are Capture the Flag, Gate Hunt, Jamboree, Pathfinder, and Return the Flag. The remaining four are new to the series: Greed, Pursuit, Knockout, and Zone Patrol. In Capture the Flag, racers score points by carrying a flag by picking it up from the ground or stealing it from the racer carrying it, scoring extra points by carrying it to the active checkpoint. In Gate Hunt, players attempt to deactivate as many gates as possible before their opponents. Jamboree is another gate-based mode where one gate is active until a player crosses it, awarding them a point and activating another at random. A few gates are lit in yellow to indicate which one will activate next. In Pathfinder, players seek to become the first to cross all gates. Return the Flag is another flag-based mode wherein a flag is placed at random points of the map and players return it to the base before others do. As for the new game modes, in Greed, packages colored gold, silver, and bronze are parachuted from the sky, and a certain number of points are awarded to whoever collects them, with gold being worth the most and bronze the least. Pursuit involves a helicopter traveling above the playing field and beaming down a cone of light in which racers strive to remain the longest. Knockout is an elimination race game where the racer in last place drops out after an amount of time, usually 15 to 30 seconds, and the process repeats until only one player is left. Zone Patrol is a new variation of Gate Hunt where one can pass gates claimed by an opponent and "recolor" it, diverting their point to one's score.
Insane 2 is both a single-player and multiplayer game. In single-player, the player can opt for career mode or a quick race. The former spans 170 races grouped into four championships, which are further divided into events, each governing the rules and required vehicular class. At the start of career mode, only two off-road races and a single car with a basic configuration are available, but more vehicles, races, and other game modes are unlocked by completing races. The only means of progression is by placing in the top three, which also awards the player points for purchasing three different kit upgrades for a vehicle's five attributes of speed, acceleration, boost ability, off-roading, and durability, as well as tickets for buying a paint job. Placing better rewards more prize money. The boost ability for each vehicle is used to increase its speed. The boost gauge replenishes itself automatically. In the flag modes, carrying the flag disables the booster. Some of the In Quick Race mode, the player sets the location and rules and enters a race with those settings.
In multiplayer, a second player can join the first in split-screen (located in the single-player menu), provided the former has a gamepad controller, the only one supported being the Xbox 360 controller. In addition, one can connect to a server online with up to seven other human players or set up their own, where settings such as map, mode, required car class, and number of AI-controlled bots are defined by the host.
The first Insane game was created by Invictus Games, a video game company based in Debrecen, Hungary. It was published for Microsoft Windows by Codemasters on November 24, 2000, as the launch title for its online service, the Codemasters Multiplayer Network, coinciding with the European launch of the PlayStation 2. Invictus had indicated in an interview with Hungarian online magazine PC Dome the possibility of a sequel by stating that it would continue using the game's style for future racing games. By 2007, Invictus had laid out ideas for the second game, but Codemasters, who owned the license to the Insane trademark, decided not to request the project yet.
Plans to release Insane 2 were first announced in February 2009, when Codemasters licensed the Insane trademark to Russian developer Targem Games to develop the sequel. Codemasters also granted publishing rights to Game Factory Interactive for the upcoming title. The game's designer, Nikolai Seleznev, was interviewed by several Russian outlets. In one with Russian game magazine Igromania, he revealed that dynamics was factored in Targem's development. To increase the dynamics, the company decided to add the boost ability after much deliberation and changed the damage system so that parts would fly off and the only impact on a vehicle's performance is wheel loss. He also revealed that the levels were designed in a way that shorter routes would contain more obstacles. The obstacles include road trains, rail road transport, rhinoceroses, and stray lightning bolts that threaten to strike the racer's vehicle. In another interview with km.ru, Seleznev continued that the developers strove for a balance between dynamics and realistic car physics. In a third interview, he told GameScope that he was not able to contact Invictus Games for creative input, so his team instead examined the original game in detail and read contemporaneous reviews. An in-house proprietary game engine was chosen for the convenience of the development environment, and tracks were ordered from youth musical groups. The original announcement stated that the game was to be released in 2010, but it was moved to a year later since that year the team was coordinating the vehicles' appearance and doing further work on multiplayer mode.
Insane 2 was first published in retail on September 30, 2011, being soon distributed through GamersGate on October 6. It was subsequently released on the digital platform Steam on January 24, 2012.
Critic reviews of Insane 2 were mixed. The Czech division of Eurogamer generally praised the artificial intelligence and was impressed with the game setting low hardware requirements and still delivering a level of graphics the publication deemed sufficient, but felt that the vehicles were lightweight and the sound effects and music unimpressive, and criticized the lack of a speedometer or rear-view mirror in the user interface and the presence of only two camera angles. It concluded that the shift to an action-packed and arcade-like formula might repel fans of the original Insane, recommending that it be purchased only at a discount from the introductory price of €28. GameStar lauded the risk-versus-reward aspect of the maps' open nature, the split-screen multiplayer mode, and also the AI, but considered the driving to be unchallenging and the maps to be missing landmarks or sights.
One of the most positive reviews came from the Romanian edition of Level, which praised the vast expanses of wrapped land and varied selection of vehicles, graphics and soundtrack, game modes such as Capture The Flag, and local and online multiplayer. However, it also criticized the AI, an unpolished user interface, the potential for the music to turn repetitive, and the lack of local area network support, and also noted a dearth of servers at the time of the review, but the magazine concluded that "Insane remains at least as fun as its venerable predecessor and brings crazy, fun racing back to PC that is hard to put down." Another rather positive review is by the Italian magazine The Games Machine, which praised the level design and variety of game modes, despite missing one called "freeride".
Igromania found the program easy to learn, but otherwise thought that the game lacked originality and should have run on Codemasters' own Ego engine. 4Players praised the Pursuit game mode, described the scenery as "idyllic", and noted fast menus and short loading times, but grew bored of single-player mode after about 20 rounds and was not immersed into the game by the handling. gram.pl [pl] summarized the production of Insane 2 as uneven. It characterized the game modes as varied but repetitive and lacking randomness, the locations as large but with scarce elements in between areas, the car tuning as modest, and career mode as lengthy but too easy. It also criticized the audiovisual department overall as substandard, but praised the weather effects.
Hungarian sources were also mixed, who expressed their preference for the first Insane game. While praising the size and visibility of the locations and lighting, PC Guru criticized the maps for their smooth surfaces and damage modeling of the vehicles, though not the vehicular models themselves, observed bugs in the AI in game modes demanding its capabilities, noted only slight improvements in vehicles with upgrades purchased, and concluded, "Unfortunately, Insane 2 became an uninteresting sequel that terribly lacks the physical modeling and AI system put together by Invictus, which turned the [original] game into such lovable entertainment." The Hungarian edition of GameStar also praised the vehicles, along with the graphics, which it described as "really average, but in a rather positive way," but found that, after three races, the game gradually turned boring and annoying, reporting many instances of the AI-controlled racers quickly appearing in areas in physically impossible ways and that the AI in Pursuit mode had an upper hand of knowing the course of the helicopter's spotlight in the first lap. PC Dome praised the music and diversity of terrain, but thought the sound department was weak, in part due to the lack of a commentator (who was given a voice for the Hungarian localization of the original game), criticized the lack of a track generator, and negatively compared the vehicular physics to Burnout Paradise as an aberration from the quasi-realistic physics of the original game. Conversely, Game Channel, which disliked the idea of a non-Hungarian studio taking up development of a sequel to a native game, disparagingly called the music "peasant disco" and likened the visuals to a Need for Speed title from around 2005. It also found the speed of cars to be middling even with the use of nitro and the physics inconsistent and at odds with the arcade style of the game, due to the topography of the maps, but it did praise the Pursuit mode and the progression system. | [

75,686,275 | Fernanda Farias de Albuquerque | Fernanda Farias De Albuquerque also known by her pseudonym Princesa, (22 May 1963 – 13 May 2000), was a Brazilian trans woman and author.
She was born Alagoa Grande in the Brazilian countryside, and grew up without her father in a family in economic difficulty. At the age of seven she was sexually abused and, shortly thereafter, ran away from her maternal home. After a brief job as a chef's assistant, she entered into sex work in Brazil's cities under the pseudonym Princesa. In 1988, following a short stay in Spain, she moved to Italy. She continues her sex work the streets of Milan and becomes addicted to heroin. She later moved to Rome. In 1990, he attacked a procurer who allegedly stole money from her and who reported her for attempted murder. She is arrested and interned in Rebibbia prison, where she learns that she is HIV positive. In prison, she met Giovanni Tamponi, a Sardinian shepherd sentenced to life imprisonment. The two exchange notebooks, written in a mixture of Portuguese, Sardinian and Italian.
At Tamponi's suggestion, she begins to write her story to the director and journalist Maurizio Iannelli [it], who was also detained in the same prison, and promoter of some literary projects among the prisoners. With his help, he writes his own autobiographical novel Princesa [it]. In 1994 the book was published by Sensibili alle foglie [it], a publishing co-operative of Renato Curcio, a former member of the Red Brigades militant group. The presentation of her books at at the Turin GLBT Film Festival [it] and the presence of Curcio at the festival was opposed by the relatives of those killed by the Red Brigades, which led to De Albuquerque not attending the festival. The book was re-published by Club degli Editori [it] and Marco Tropea Editore [it] and subsequently translated into Portuguese, Spanish, German and Greek. The novel also inspired the song of the same name by Fabrizio De André (Princesa) in his final album Anime salve (1996) written with Ivano Fossati.
For a short time, De Albuquerque was hired as a secretary in the Sensitivi alle Foglie publishing co-operative, but left her job "to go back to the sidewalk because that is my fun, my freedom, my victory". She also spent a very short period as a guest of the Community of San Benedetto at the Port of Genoa, directed by the streetwise priest Don Andrea Gallo.
In 1997, she was the subject of the documentary film Le Strade di Princesa – ritratto di una trans molto speciale ("The Streets of Princesa – a portrait of a very special trans woman") by Stefano Consiglio. The documentary was selected at the Venice Film Festival and subsequently broadcast on Rai 2 and Telepiù [it].
After being expelled and repatriated to Brazil, she returned to Italy for a short period, until she died by suicide in Iesi in May 2000.
In 2001, the film Princesa was released at the cinema, directed by Henrique Goldman [wikidata] and based on the autobiographical book by De Albuquerque. | [

75,686,438 | African Dominion | African Dominion: A New History of Empire in Early and Medieval West Africa focuses on the regions surrounding the Middle Niger Valley. It can be thought of as tracing the rise and fall of empire as a form of local political organization in West Africa, culminating in the Songhay Empire; thus it primarily covers the millennium from the mid-sixth century to 1591 CE, when Songhay came under Moroccan rule.
The book was the subject of the first "review round table" to be published by The American Historical Review, in which four different reviews of the book were published in the same volume, along with a response from the author. Another round table discussing the book was held during the November 2019 African Studies Association conference, where discussants were Bruce Hall, Chouki El Hamel, Ousmane Kane and Jan Jansen; the Association awarded the book a prize in the same year.
The book comprises fourteen chapters, plus a prologue and epilogue.
Chapter 1, "The Middle Niger in Pre-antiquity and Global Context", argues that the academic discipline of World History has overlooked Africa and instead presents the Middle Niger region as one whose history is an important component of the medieval World System through its interactions with North Africa and the Middle East.
Concisely surveying prehistory back to around 7000 BCE, the chapter presents the region "as an archetypical riverain geopolitical core for the complex panoply of events to follow", and takes its story to the emergence of the Ghana Empire around 300 CE.
Chapter 2, "Early Gao", challenges an existing grand narrative that has focused on a succession of three empires: Ghana, Mali and Songhay. While agreeing with much past research on Gao, Gomez argues that the Gao Empire was more important than researchers have recognised, that Gao was West Africa's first city-state, and that it provided the model for the Ghana Empire. The chapter focuses on archaeological evidence (alongside the writing of al-Yaʾqūbī), and uses the settlement of Jenne-Jeno as a case-study from the geographical heartland of the Middle Niger for tracing trade networks and political links between the Sahel, the Savannah, and the Middle East.
Chapter 3, "The Kingdoms of Ghana: Reform Along the Senegal River", positions Ghana not as an empire but as one strong kingdom with tributary kingdoms. It brings written sources to the fore, and argues that this dominion was probably integrated into the societies and economies of the Mediterranean basin already in the early Middle Ages. Gomez argues that the emergence of the Almoravid dynasty, their eleventh-century conquest of northern part of Africa's Atlantic coast, and the rise of the state of Takrur are indicative of a wave of Sunni, fundamentalist Islam in the Middle Niger. A traditional dominance of gold as a medium of trade persisted in the west of the empire, but the east saw the emergence of a major trade in slaves by a now Muslim Sahelian elite, partly via Kanem and the Fezzan.
Chapter 4, "Slavery and Race Imagined in Bilād as-Sūdān", "situates West Africa within the wider context of racial thought, both within the region and externally, and of regional slavery". Gomez positions the eleventh century as a turning point in the identity of what in Arabic was called Bilād al-Sūdān, and in Arabic conceptions of race and its relationship with slavery. Gomez defines race for his purposes as "the culturally orchestrated, socially sanctioned disaggregation and reformulation of the human species into broad, hierarchical categories reflecting purported respective levels of capacity, propensity, and beauty, and in ways often tethered to phenotypic expression". The term Bilād al-Sūdān, literally "country of the Sūdān", that is sub-Saharan Black people, was adopted by medieval Arab geographers very early. Gomez contends that the rise of trans-Saharan trade was accompanied by a concomitant process associating the Sūdān ever more closely with slaves, arguing that the notion of Bilād al-Sūdān was a "racialization of space".
This part of the book examines the development of the Mali Empire, viewed by Gomez as an urban empire that went on to conquer neighbouring regions. Gomez "analyzes the relationship between central authority and provinces, emerging relationships with Islam, social transformations among the freeborn, caste groups and slaves, and new gender dynamics. He suggests that these elements became the backbone of 'a model of statecraft that was both hierarchical and evolving'".
Chapter 5, "The Meanings of Sunjata and the Dawn of Imperial Mali", focuses on Mali's legendary dynastic founder Sunjata. The chapter marks the entry of oral-derived sources into the study, relying to a significant extent on the oral-derived Epic of Sunjata.
Chapter 6, "Mansā Mūsā and Global Mali", focuses on Mansā Mūsā and his famous pilgrimage to Mecca, which generated an extensive body of primary sources commenting on Mali from outside that empire, not least by Ibn Khaldūn. Gomez positions this as the moment when Mali "went global".
Chapter 7, "Intrigue, Islam, and Ibn Baṭṭūṭa", contemplates the eyewitness account of Mali by Ibn Baṭṭūṭa, and in particular the workings of dynastic succession and elite ligitimation within the Mande community of Mali. Gomez argues that both Islam and slavery became progressively more embedded in imperial Mali's culture and economy, facilited by the introduction of cowrie currency.
Chapter 8, "Sunni ʿAlī and the Reinvention of Songhay", explores the rise of Songhay, and particularly the violence and terror of Sunni ʿAlī, its founder. It argues that key economic and political structures of the Mali Empire were perpetuated by Songhay, with Gao re-emerging as a political centre.
Chapter 9, "The Sunni and the Scholars: A Tale of Revenge", focuses on the Arabic-language West-African writing which constitutes the key source material for Songhay rests, and the Muslim holy men who created it. This chapter analysis of two of Gomez's key primary sources, the West-African chronicles Tārīkh al-Sūdān (c. 1652, by ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿImrān al-Saʾdī) and Taʾrīkh al-fattāsh (c. 1519–1665, attributed to Maḥmūd Kaʾti), which focus on the rise and fall of imperial Songhay.
Chapter 10, "Renaissance: The Age of Askia al-Ḥājj Muḥammad", focuses on the Songhay Empire at its height, arguing that during this period people began to identify ethnically with the Songhay state over other group identities". According to Amir Syed, Gomez argues that whereas Sunni ʿAlī "'would embark upon a strategy of attacking one community of scholars associated with his political nemesis, while embracing an alternative group of more neutral elites'", Askia al-Ḥājj Muḥammad was part of a "'renaissance' that reestablished the importance of urban centers, and 'reconnections with polities and luminaries in the central Islamic lands'".
Chapter 11, "Of Clerics and Concubines", revises previous readings of well known primary sources to emphasise the importance of holy men of Mori Koyra at the expense of Jenne and Timbuktu, a reading of the competing interests of religion, politics, and commerce that emphasises the power of the state and of spirituality at the expense of the learned clerisy. The chapter explores the concubinage practices of the elite and the role of the increasingly large number of eunuchs in imperial service.
Chapter 12, "Of Fitnas and Fratricide: The Nadir of Imperial Songhay" focuses on the twenty years of civil strife and chaos following the toppling of Askia al-Ḥājj Muḥammad's reign.
Chapter 13, "Surfeit and Stability: The Era of Askia Dāwūd", focuses on the last successful ruler of Songhay, Askia Dāwūd, who reigned for thirty-four years. In the summary of Amir Syed,
while this ruler brought a modicum of peace, Gomez also suggests that he significantly expanded domestic slavery (334). He argues that even though slavery was significant throughout West African history, it is only under Askia Dāwūd that Songhay became a 'slave society in every sense of the concept' (354). Here Gomez details the transfiguration of social relationship and power of slave holders over slaves. This intensification of slavery, however, also created space for servile groups close to ruling elites to gain and wield significant power (350–351).
Chapter 14, "The Rending Asunder: Dominion's End", concludes Gomez's chronological history with the Moroccan invasion of Songhay in 1591 and the associated internal divisions within Songhay. Gomez positions the collapse of the empire as the end of a millennium-long period of empire in West Africa.
The reviewer Ousmane Kane noted "the absence of a conclusion. [...] The fourteenth and last chapters of the book address the collapse of the Songhay Empire following the Saadian invasion. An unexpected epilogue of three pages or so starts with a discussion of the Malian crisis of 2012, without a clear indication of how this is connected to a history of empires ending with the collapse of the Songhay Empire".
Surveying responses to the book, Hadrien Collet found that "il est possible d’observer deux tendances globalement parallèles quant à la réception du livre. D’un côté, le milieu des chercheurs spécialistes du Moyen Âge africain s’est montré assez sévère, d’un autre côté, la critique historienne états-unienne, africaniste ou plus généraliste, a salué un livre nécessaire et indispensable" ("it is possible to observe two generally parallel trends in the reception of the book. On the one hand, the community of researchers specializing in the African Middle Ages has been quite severe; on the other, American, Africanist, and more generalist historical criticism has praised a necessary and indispensable book"). Collet found the book unusual in presenting a grand narrative for a large region over a long period, despite the extremely patchy evidence, an approach which he thought perhaps inevitably led to overlooking some recent secondary literature and subtleties of source criticism; Georgi Asatryan even compared the book's approach to Edward Gibbon's The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
A key criticism from specialists was what they viewed as Gomez's insufficiently rigorous source criticism, particularly regarding the Taʾrīkh al-fattāsh, and cursory use of epigraphic evidence, concerns which formed the main part of Gomez's response to the American Historial Review coverage of the book.
Reviewers also noted the limitations of the book's scope. Adam Simmons observed that "perhaps inevitably for a book that forms only about 60 per cent of what Gomez intended to be a two-volume work (p. vii), the book does omit some significant material. While it does not claim to be an imperial history ‘of’ West Africa, readers should be aware that its focus largely excludes expansive and specialised discussion of the surrounding regions of the Middle Niger Valley—unless seen from the viewpoint of a Middle Niger polity". The scope of the study is political, with relatively little attention to religion as such or to art.
Ghislaine Lydon viewed Gomez's emphasis on women one of the work's most important historiographical contributions. | [

The term Bilād al-Sūdān, literally \"country of the Sūdān\", that is sub-Saharan Black people, was adopted by medieval Arab geographers very early.

75,686,493 | The Best Ten | The Best Ten (ザ・ベストテン, Za Besuto Ten), was a Japanese music television program. Broadcast live weekly on Thursday on TBS Television from 1978 until 1989. During its broadcast history, air time and day has changed only once and in total 4 male presenters, remaining from the beginning until the end one and only female presenter, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. The program is also colloquially known as Best Ten (ベストテン, Besuto Ten).
During its broadcast time since 1978, numerous of music television programs, including Fuji TV's music program Yoru no Hit Studio (夜のヒットスタジオ, Yoru no Hitto Sutajio) which started broadcast 10 years earlier, in 1968, were already popular and well known by the all over Japan. The popularity and view ranting ship raised very quickly.
In May 2010, Oricon Style published the results of the national survey of "Music programs that I would like to see revived", The Best Ten placed first place. In November 2023, news website Shunkan Josei Prime published the same survey, The Best Ten placed to first place, regaining on the same place as in 2010 survey charts. The surveyors answered the reason behind revival for "excitement of the weekly new charts, its original ranking system, entertaining presenters and memorable outdoor performances".
The program has been re-broadcast on the cable television channel TBS Channel 2 in 2020 and 2022. The order of broadcasting was chosen based on the high view ranting and popularity. According to the article published on news website Sponichi in 2020, one of the reasons for the re-broadcast decision was for the younger generation having interest in Kayoukyoku music, referring to the japanese phenomenon "Kayoukyoku Boom" (歌謡ブーム). Partial reason was the Kayokyoku special episode of Matsuko no Shiranai Sekai hosted by Matsuko Deluxe, which broadcast on the same year.
The "The Best Ten Theme" was performed on the 62nd Japan Record Awards to commrate respect for the original composer of the song, Katsuhisa Hattori, who passed away early on the same year.
The Best Ten was a weekly 54 minutes (in later years 55 minutes) music program. The music chart program was successor of the previous music program TBS Kayokyoku Best Ten (TBS歌謡曲ベストテン, TBS Kayōkyoku Besuto Ten), which broadcast in years 1965-1967 and in general music program TBS Uta no Grandprix (TBS歌のグランプリ, TBS Uta no Guranpuri). Many Japanese musical acts make their television performance debut on The Best Ten, but the show has also hosted many artists from all around the world. In the span of 11 years, over 630 episodes were broadcast and more than 400 artists performed.
The show was always notable for the ranking boards clattering away before the announcement by presenter, as they went up to show The Best Ten's top 10 singles of the week. In the case if the artist could not appear, they would jump immediately to announce the next chart position. For the rankings from 11 to 20, they were given 5 seconds screen time for video-sound introduction with the chart performance for the last 4 weeks. In the case if it was the first week, only the one position would be displayed. In 2016, in magazine "Pen", the producer and the director of the program Shuji Yamada revealed, that board construction and idea comes from airport's tables of departures and arrival.
The guests always came through the shiny wall panel, to greet with presenters and have a one-two minute short interview about song or recent events before the stage performance. Every week for the every artist, the staff would elaborate stages set just to enhance the song's atmosphere and performance. Inspired by the Yoru no Hit studio, for the solo artist, they were always accompanied by TBS television's orchestral band, who played on live, prior up until 1985, when the necessarity of the live band to perform for the artist has been reduced and as result replaced by karaoke background sound. Aside of the studio indoor performances, there were on-location, outdoor performances performances as well in the various places, such as an entrance of temple or inside train. Unlike the Yoru no Hit Studio, which allowed artist to perform in full chorus, in the Best Ten it was always one and half chorus. Sometimes before the start of artist's performance, the presenters read very quickly one of them randomly chosen postcard letter within the time span during intro. After the end of performance, they would sit on the large sofa. At the end of the broadcast and during the ending role credits staff roles, each time a memorial group photo has been taken from the large sofa from the up upon the whole scale.
In the case if the artist couldn't made it on time, had on the same day concert, shooting or filming, or didn't want to appear on the television, the presenters were hosting phone call interview and some year later interview through long-distance camera interview.
Since 1985, the viewer rantings has been slowly declining. The factors includes leave of the first male presenter, Hiroshi Kurume along with the list of artist who made it through ranking chart, however declined to appear on the television and replacing live orchestra sound with the karaoke sound.
In July 1989, the cancelation of the program has been announced during the broadcast. As for the cancelation reason, Kuroyanagi expressed "difficulty to have 10 artist performance within the short amount of broadcast time and blaming the lengthened performance time from the half-chorus to full"; claiming later that one of presenters priorities "was to always give small interview with the artist".
By the end of The Best Ten, it has been replaced by music news program Ongaku Ha Together (音楽派Together), which aired on the same day and time as The Best Ten and shared same female presenter, Kuroyanagi.
The Best Best includes its own music ranking chart, which was equally recognized to the music industry and music association.
The point system has been based on the four important factors:
The scoring point ratio at the start of the program were: "30 points for record", "10 points for cable", "20 points for radio" and "40 points for postcard". During the time, the postcards had the highest points. However, in February 1979, TBS announced that the scoring ratio would be changed from 20 points to 30 points for radio and from 40 to 30 points for postcards (record points and cable points remained unchanged). The reason for the change was, that "many postcards with clearly the same handwriting but different names were found, borrowed other people's names without permission.
The scoring ratio was subsequently revised, and from 1981 it became: "45 points for records", "10 points for cable", "21 points for radio" and "23 points for postcard", and from 1986 until the end, it became "60 points for records", "10 points for cable", "10 points for radio" and "20 points for postcards".
By the end of a year, special The Best Ten Top 10 Yearly Charts (各年の年間ベストテン) has been published and by the order from 10 to 1. The artists, who've charted performed on the year's final broadcast.
The Best Teen has been hosted during its entire history of broadcast in total by 4 male presenters and 1 female presenters, marking Tetsuko Kuroyanagi the longest among the all presents in span of 11 years. On October 2023, the first presenter Kume has published his books about his 17 years of experience and emotions during hosting the program.
Since the end of program in 1989, between years 1991 and 2019 various special programs were broadcast. These can range from the regular broadcast time from 2 to 3 hours in length. There were also be various specials with no actual artists performances, these were often be the current hosts discussing the history of the shows and playing some of the more notable performances from archived videotape recorder (known in Japanese as VTR).
Prior from the 2009 until present, a numerous of special CDs, DVD-box sets were released by the high demand of the artist fans.
The discs include full footage of the performances, however in some occasions before-performance talks were completely cut off and not showed at all. | [

] | The Best Ten, was a Japanese music television program. Broadcast live weekly on Thursday on TBS Television from 1978 until 1989. During its broadcast history, air time and day has changed only once and in total 4 male presenters, remaining from the beginning until the end one and only female presenter, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. The program is also colloquially known as Best Ten. During its broadcast time since 1978, numerous of music television programs, including Fuji TV's music program Yoru no Hit Studio which started broadcast 10 years earlier, in 1968, were already popular and well known by the all over Japan. The popularity and view ranting ship raised very quickly. In May 2010, Oricon Style published the results of the national survey of "Music programs that I would like to see revived", The Best Ten placed first place. In November 2023, news website Shunkan Josei Prime published the same survey, The Best Ten placed to first place, regaining on the same place as in 2010 survey charts. The surveyors answered the reason behind revival for "excitement of the weekly new charts, its original ranking system, entertaining presenters and memorable outdoor performances". The program has been re-broadcast on the cable television channel TBS Channel 2 in 2020 and 2022. The order of broadcasting was chosen based on the high view ranting and popularity. According to the article published on news website Sponichi in 2020, one of the reasons for the re-broadcast decision was for the younger generation having interest in Kayoukyoku music, referring to the japanese phenomenon "Kayoukyoku Boom" (歌謡ブーム). Partial reason was the Kayokyoku special episode of Matsuko no Shiranai Sekai hosted by Matsuko Deluxe, which broadcast on the same year. The "The Best Ten Theme" was performed on the 62nd Japan Record Awards to commrate respect for the original composer of the song, Katsuhisa Hattori, who passed away early on the same year. | 2023-12-31T11:04:07Z | 2023-12-31T23:22:46Z | [

75,686,507 | Weltklang | Weltklang is a German electronic music project that was formed in West Berlin in 1980. Current members are Thomas Voburka and René Steuns.
According to the band, Weltklang (an allusion to the eponymous East-German musical instrument brand manufactured in Markneukirchen) was formed in the East-German town of Schwerin in 1980. In 1979, Vienna-born Voburka had founded the West Berlin based electronic music label Exil-System. In 1980, the band released the Minimal wave track VEB Heimat. Voburka wrote a letter to West German music magazine Sounds explaining that his label had recorded two technology students from Schwerin, which the magazine did not fact check and wrote that the record had been smuggled from East-Berlin. According to Voburka, the idea of a fictional East-German punk band was born after a visit to East Berlin.
Weltklang's first release, the 7” single “VEB Heimat/Hoffnung / Sehnsucht ??” was brought out in 1980.
Inspired by the fast rise of Neue Deutsche Welle and by the Punk subculture's DIY attitude Voburka's main principle was to remove all dispensable ornamentation and polish from his music, and to use the simplest and most minimalist structures. On "VEB Heimat" for instance he made sole use of a simple Roland SH09 Synthesizer line, a stripped down monophonic analogue synthesizer from Roland Corporation's classic SH-series.
The song itself was based upon a minimalist, filtered bass sequence. In addition to this sparse backing, the track featured a furious and repetitive vocal line by Voburka, reiteratively quoting an excerpt from the national anthem of Austria, Land der Berge, Land am Strome.
Whereas the first half of the song title “VEB Heimat” refers to the socialist-tinted expression Volkseigener Betrieb (a state owned workplace or establishment in the German Democratic Republic) the second word Heimat is a thoroughly and hard to translate German term, comparable to "homeland" in English.
Not hugely successful at first, the unique and futuristic sounding “VEB Heimat” managed to equal an international cult status over the following years, particularly within the Minimal wave and Minimal Electro music scene.
Weltklang has since then often been referred to by artists such as DJ Hell or Optimo (Espacio). In 2003 for example - 23 years after its original release date - "VEB Heimat" made it into the top 3 of DJs Hell's charts of the year.
Ever since its original release in 1980 “Veb Heimat” has been re-released on numerous occasions, primarily for compilation albums. Apart from its integration in compilation albums such as 80's Minimal Electronics (Volume 1), Return Of Flexi-Pop 3 (Tribute To Flexi-Pop 13) and The Call Of The Banshees, in 2003 "VEB Heimat" was also used as opening track for DJ Hell's hugely successful New Deutsch compilation which was released on International DeeJay Gigolo Records.
In 2018 "VEB Heimat" was chosen by JD Twitch for his German Post Punk Compilation "Kreaturen der Nacht", released on Strut Records and distributed by !K7 Music.
On the occasion of Weltklang's 25th anniversary, in 2004 Voburka decided to reform the project, together with London based programmer, producer and engineer René Steuns.
Since then Weltklang have produced various remixes for artists such as Aeronautica, Alter Ego, Asmodeus X, Fall Of Saigon, Kinder Aus Asbest, Mono 45UPM, P1/e, Plastic Japanese Toys, Soldout and Sonnenbrandt as well as the somewhat obscure "Liebesgrüsse aus Ost-Berlin" compilation album. Not only for their original Material but also for their remixes Weltklang remain true to their minimalist and deconstructive DIY approach.
In 2009 the remixes were bundled on the 2x12" "Weltklang - Remixes", released on Exil System.
In 2019 the album "Klášter" and the 12" "Vorwaerts" were released on Exil-System.
Due to the 40th anniversary in 2020, the single sided 4" "Freundschaft" was released on vinylograph.
In 2021 the 12" "Rueckwaerts" and the 2x12" "Vorwaerts/Rueckwaerts" were released on Exil-System.
The 6 Tracks of the 2022 Weltklang album "Weltraum", released on Exil-System, were mainly recorded by Voburka between 1972-1976 and edited by him in 2021. Instruments used on this record are the Arp Odyssey, Moog Sonic Six and the Roland Space Echo.
Furthermore from 2005 on Weltklang have played various, sporadic live shows throughout Europe, with critically acclaimed gigs in Belgium, Germany, Sweden and most recently Ukraine.

75,686,562 | Jan De Zutter | Jan De Zutter (born 14 June 1962) is a Belgian writer, journalist, political official and artist. He has been a journalist for De Morgen and written several books about neopaganism, which he practices. He has worked for the social democratic party Vooruit in the European Parliament. After suffering a burnout, he began to make pastels which he has exhibited since 2021.
Jan De Zutter was born in Mortsel, Antwerp Province, on 14 June 1962. He studied art history and archeology at Ghent University and obtained an aggregaat [nl]. He did post-graduate studies in journalism at the University of Antwerp. He took evening classes in drawing and painting.
De Zutter has worked as a journalist, writing for De Morgen and other newspapers. He has written multiple books about the neopagan religion Wicca. His book Heidenen voor het blok (2000, lit. 'Pagans for the block') is about neopagans within the Belgian far-right party Vlaams Blok. As prominent examples, the book names the senator Wim Verreycken [nl], vice chairman Roeland Raes, representatives Francis Van den Eynde and John Spinnewyn [nl], and the municipal councilor Ralf van den Hautte. De Zutter argues that the situation is similar in other European countries and credits right-wing pagans with making environmentalism a more prominent feature of far-right milieus.
Through his engagement in the social democratic party Vooruit (known as the Socialistische Partij Anders until 2021), De Zutter began to work for the politician Steve Stevaert, for whom he has ghostwritten books. He became a political official for Vooruit in the European Parliament, where he has served as the party's spokesman. He has been a parliamentary assistant to Kathleen Van Brempt.
De Zutter exhibited colour drawings and acrylic paintings during his student years but abandoned art to focus on his career as a journalist. After suffering a burnout, he took up drawing again in 2018. Shortly before the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Belgium he bought a set of pastel sticks by mistake. He tried them out, became fascinated by the medium and held solo exhibitions of his pastels in 2021 and 2022. He describes himself as a "non-narrative realist" and says his pictures are about the "miracle of the moment". He names the Ghent artist Michel Buylen as an influence and has made his own interpretations of landscape paintings by George Inness and James McNeill Whistler.
De Zutter grew up as an agnostic, but rejected that as spiritually and aesthetically limiting in his early 20s. He was initiated into Freemasonry and explored various neopagan and Afro-Caribbean religions. He underwent initiation in a Wicca coven and in the "ritual family" of a Cuban Babalawo. He describes himself as a "liberal-religious omnivore" who is at home in pagan practices.
De Zutter has written the following books. | [

75,686,587 | Maria Borzunova | Maria Mikhailovna Borzunova (Russian: Мария Михайловна Борзунова; born January 14, 1995, Moscow) is a Russian journalist and video blogger.
Biography
Born in Moscow on January 14, 1995, Borzunova spent the majority of her childhood in Podolsk. In 2012, she graduated from Lyceum No. 23 in the city of Podolsk, and in 2016, she completed her studies at the Faculty of Communications, Media, and Design at the National Research University Higher School of Economics.
From 2014 to 2023, Borzunova worked at the Dozhd television channel. In 2018, she became the host of the program "Fake News," dedicated to exposing the misinformation spread by Russian media. As she reported in 2019, the Russian media demonstrated the tendency to divert viewers' attention from Russia's inherent problems by focusing on similar conflicts, possibly distorted or taken out of context in the West. Since 2022, this show has been broadcast not only on Dozhd but also on the French-German channel Arte.
In 2021, she received death threats from the far-right Male State group after she interviewed a same-sex couple.
In March 2022, due to the closure of the Dozhd channel offices in Russia after the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, she moved to Istanbul and later to Riga.
On April 1, 2022, the Russian Ministry of Justice included Borzunova in the list of foreign agents. According to the journalist, the Ministry of Justice considered transfers of 1290 rubles from American citizen Evan Gershkovich and 10270 rubles from Belarusian citizen Nadine Lakhbabi, who are close friends of hers, as sources of foreign funding.
In February 2023, Borzunova resigned from Dozhd. Since February 27, 2023, Borzunova has been running a YouTube channel. As of December 2023, the channel had 149 thousand subscribers.
In December 2018, Borzunova became a laureate of the HSE Alumni Award (an award presented to outstanding graduates of this university) in the category "Fourth Estate".
Maria Borzunova has twice been a laureate of the Redkollegia media award for her articles on the Belarusian political immigrants published in January and August 2021.
