černí baroni is a 1992 czechoslovak comedy film. "pixelated and afraid" is the twelveth episode of the thirty-third season of the american animated television series the simpsons, and the 718th episode overall. it aired in the united states on fox on february 27, 2022. the episode was directed by chris clements and written by john frink. plot lisa and bart hold an intervention after feeling that homer and marge are stuck in a cringe-worthy relationship rut devoid of romance, so homer and marge reluctantly agree to go to a resort for couples in the wilderness with no technology or modern entertainment. but when an icy road results in a car crash, homer and marge find themselves lost in the frigid woodlands fighting for survival against the elements. reception tony sokol of den of geek gave the episode a 4 out of 5 stars stating, "some of this development is almost un-homer-like. he is a little too competent in the wild. you get the idea he may have taken that crayon out of his nose again.
he has the capacity to understand marge has all the real solutions, and still finds a way to go a step further, by making sure she has matching rugs on her feet at the end of the episode. what bart and lisa see, when they look at homer and marge toss diaper bags into taco bins, is a couple who have given up. the wolverine scene proves it was all an exercise, like the “wax on, wax off,” lessons in karate kid. " marcus gibson of bubbleblabber gave the episode a 7. 5 out of 10 stating, "this is one of the episodes that don’t rely heavily on slapstick and concentrate on telling the story. the writers attempt to have homer and marge working together to survive against the wild and the deadly wolverine while providing a message about the beauty of the great outdoors. we also see more of homer being a caring husband for marge instead of a careless grouch like in some previous episodes, which is great for people who needed a break from his negligent attitude.
the result is far from perfect, but it is as attractive as the couple’s spark regardless. a terrestrial cable is a communications cable which crosses land, rather than water. terrestrial cable may be subterranean (buried) or aerial (suspended from poles), and may be fiber or copper. the term "terrestrial cable" is principally used to distinguish it from submarine cable, although some overlap exists between the two. major terrestrial cable systems include the europe-persia express gateway and the family of eurasia terrestrial cable networks. uss pce-869 was a for the united states navy during world war ii. she was renamed rocs yong xing (pce-42) and rocs wei yuan (pce-68) after being acquired by the republic of china navy on 28 august 1945. construction and career pce-869 was laid down by albina engineer & machine works, portland on 2 september 1942 and launched on 6 february 1943. she was commissioned on 19 september 1943.
after the war on 28 august 1945, she was transferred to the republic of china navy as rocs yong xing (pce-42). rocs yung shun (am-44) and yong xing passed through the gatun locks, panama canal, on 21 april 1946, flying chinese flags, but still wearing u. s. navy hull numbers. yongxing island was the namesake of the ship. in october 1946, yong xing was led by lin zun and yao ruyu, together with the tai ping, chung chien and chung yeh ships, to the south china sea to receive and station in the xisha and nansha islands. the ship was incorporated into the 1st fleet of coastal defense, participated in the civil war, and successively shelled the liberated areas and bombed the 228 incident on the coasts of shandong, guangdong and other places, as well as major ports in hainan island and taiwan. captain lu weiyuan commander of yong xing, a graduate of the qingdao maritime academy, was a person trusted by the commander-in-chief of the navy, gui yongqing.

diffusion tubes are widely used by local authorities for monitoring air quality in urban areas, in citizen science pollution-monitoring projects carried out by community groups and schools, and in indoor environments such as mines and museums. construction and operation a diffusion tube consists of a small, hollow, usually transparent, acrylic or polypropylene plastic tube, roughly 70mm long, with a cap at each end. one of the caps (coloured white) is either completely removed to activate the tube (in the case of nitrogen dioxide sampling) or contains a filter allowing in just the gas being studied. the other cap (a different colour) contains metal mesh discs coated with a chemical reagent that absorbs the gas being studied as it enters the tube. tubes that work this way are also known as palmes tubes after their inventor, american chemist edward palmes, who described using such a tube as a personal air quality sensor in 1976.
during operation, the tube is opened and vertically fastened with cable ties to something like a lamp-post or road sign, with the open end facing down, and the closed, coloured cap at the top. the gas being monitored, which is at a higher concentration in the atmosphere, diffuses into the bottom of the tube and is quickly absorbed by the chemical cap. since it's absorbed, the process of diffusion continues. after a fixed period of time (typically from two weeks to a month), the tube is sealed up and sent away to a laboratory for analysis. the atmospheric concentration of the gas being studied can be calculated using the amount captured and fick's laws of diffusion. diffusion tubes can be used to sample various different gases, including oxides of nitrogen (nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide), sulphur dioxide, ammonia, and ozone. although tubes sampling these gases all work through the same process of molecular diffusion, there are important differences.
nitrogen dioxide tubes use triethanolamine, tea, as the absorbing (reagant) chemical, for example, while hydrogen sulphide tubes are opaque (rather than transparent) to prevent ultraviolet light from degrading the chemicals inside. some types of tube can sample multiple gases at the same time. advantages and disadvantages diffusion tubes are reasonably accurate, relatively cheap, easy to use, extremely compact, passive (they need no power source), and have a fairly long shelf life; with careful positioning, they can be deployed more or less anywhere, indoors or outdoors. they give a reasonable indication of the long-term, average concentration of a pollutant gas, such as nitrogen dioxide, and they make it easy to compare average pollution levels in different places or at different times. often, a series of tubes are mounted in exactly the same place for consecutive months of the year to enable longer-term comparisons of pollution levels.
it's also common for local authorities to mount a number of tubes in different places over the same time period so pollution hotspots in towns and cities can be identified. since diffusion tubes are designed to be left in place for days or weeks at a time, they don't indicate shorter-term fluctuations of the pollutant being studied, such as the rising and falling levels of gas during the day, the difference between one day and the next or between weekdays and weekends, or the number of times guideline pollution levels are exceeded while they're in place. they're also much less accurate than the highly sensitive, automated monitoring equipment used in roadside pollution monitoring cabins. sources of inaccuracy include air turbulence (caused by things like wind movements or air conditioners), pollution from building ventilation systems, ultraviolet light (theoretically absorbed by the plastic tube), and other pollutants. irene cortes (born 1979) is a filmmaker and artist. biography irene was born in 1979.

land to be used for the wildlife area was first acquired in 1958, and the master plan for the wildlife area was completed in 1980. gardner swamp the swamp for which the wildlife area is named after has several different types of land covering it. land cover types include upland broad-leaved deciduous forest, upland grass, open wetland/marsh, shrub wetland, and the most commonly found, forested wetland, which covers , or 38% of the entire wildlife area. when the wisconsin department of natural resources (dnr) began to consolidate parcels of the swamp into a , hunters and landowners in the area were supportive of the actions as the area would frequently flood due to beavers constructing dams along the keyes creek, a river that bisects the wildlife area. flora and fauna the above-mentioned river, keyes creek, in addition to bisecting the wildlife area, is also classified as a class ii trout stream, and is used as a spawning ground for northern pike and white sucker.
in addition to varied species of fish that can be found in keyes creek, the wildlife area is home to various waterfowl, deer, beaver, woodcock, shorebirds, and the occasional bald eagle. the wildlife area is also home to the critically endangered hine's emerald dragonfly. see also hine's emerald dragonfly sturgeon bay swamp references external links u. s. geological survey map at the u. s. geological survey map website. retrieved february 28th, 2022. biodiversity in selected natural communities related to global climate change report at the focus energy website. retrieved march 1st, 2022. the kennedy house (also joshua kennedy house or kennedy-cox house, and formerly known as barnwell-mitchell house) at 607 government street in mobile, alabama, was built by local landowner joshua kennedy, jr in 1857. description it is a stuccoed brick two storey townhouse with monumental columns at the front, bracketed eaves, and arched windows.
the building was catalogued for the historic american building survey of alabama, habs al-800, and photographed by jack boucher; at the time the notes were typed for the survey, in 1979, the building was also called "barnwell-mitchell house". the habs documentation described it thusly: brick with stucco scored to simulate ashlar, rectangular (three-bay front) with long offset rear wing, two stories, gable roof with single cross-gable, wide bracketed eaves, full-height pedimented four-column portico reflecting transition between classic revival and italianate, arched openings with hood molds, bay window on w side, l-shaped wooden gallery in rear; side hall plan, ornate interior woodwork, curved stair with statuary niche, denticulated plaster cornice; notable cast-iron fence. built 1857 for wealthy local merchant; later seamen's bethel; american legion headquarters since 1947; later addition to rear wing. outstanding local example of late ante-bellum architectural eclecticism, 4 ext. photos (1963), 2 int.

the hotel pasaje was the oldest in the las murallas neighborhood. located in block no. 14 of said urbanization, it was part of the construction of the area in the 1870s. mr. pedro gutiérrez castillo was the first private owner of all these plots, on october 9, 1874 he bought, for 250,000 pesetas, plots no. 6 and 7: lot no. 6 located towards prado street and no. 7 towards zulueta. later, in that same year, it also acquired plots nos. 4 and 5 of this block. each of the portions measured 670 m. villanueva station and campo de marte in the early years of the 20th century. in the background, the buildings erected on the sites mentioned villanueva station and campo de marte in the early years of the 20th century. in the background, the buildings erected on the sites mentioned despite the meticulous layout of the grounds, the hotel did not emerge as a single building but was the result of the addition of several farms and the incorporation of an existing passage in the block from earlier times.
added to this are the purchase and sale actions of said lots and the changes of owners. thus, emilio reyling and arcadio sequeira are the ones who begin to manufacture independent buildings, but with some common uses and linked to the passage. essential for the study of las murallas is the work of the historian carlos venegas fornias the urbanization of the walls: dependency and modernity (1990), and for the hotel pasaje, the (unpublished) research by patricia andino díaz historical study sala polivalente kid chocolate, former hotel pasaje (2015). in this last work, the previous presence of this opening in the block is revealed, when many might think that the hotel was built from the beginning with the same concept of commercial galleries crossing a block and that at the time they were very fashionable in europe. . andino similarly exposes the existence, in the national archives of cuba, of book 99 of the old mortgage registry, where it is detailed that lot no.
4 of block 14 was "crossed by the urban railway track whose translation is agreed to central street”, that is, zulueta street. built in 1871, the hotel passage was the first building to be built in cuba dedicated to the hotel industry. up to that time, the usual thing was to adapt the existing buildings for this function. gallery the name of the hotel pasajere received its name from the gallery that crossed the site of the building from the prado to calle zulueta. the ceiling of this gallery was covered with glass, which facilitated the lighting of the commercial establishments that were established on both sides, the gallery made the hotel a popular place for havanans of the time. nationalization by the late 1950s, the hotel pasajet was still considered a fine hotel, however, it was no longer the exclusive establishment of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
from the 1920s until the end of the republic, its clientele was made up of business travelers, budget-conscious visitors, and some families who rented rooms for long periods of time. however, the management managed to survive all the tourism crises in cuba and the pasaje hotel continued to offer services uninterruptedly until its nationalization by the cuban government after the triumph of the 1959 revolution. the front of the hotel passage faced the paseo del prado; the rear went to calle zulueta, between the aforementioned roads and with access to both streets, ran a gallery or passage covered with an iron and glass structure and that accommodated several commercial and service establishments, among these are the publishing house “flérida galante”, of pornographic books. this passage gave the hotel its name. a few meters from the central park and next to the payret theater, became one of the most representative urban places in havana.
the old town hall is a former events venue in bridge street, loddon, norfolk, england. the structure, which is currently occupied for commercial use, is a grade ii listed building. history in the mid-19th century, a group of local businessmen decided to form a company to raise funds for the erection of an events venue in the town: the site they selected on the west side of bridge street was owned by an individual, james copeman, from whom they bought it for £30. the building was designed in the jacobean style, built in red brick and was completed in time for the first court hearing on 10 august 1870. the design involved a symmetrical main frontage with three bays facing onto bridge street with the outer bays projected forward as pavilions; the central bay featured a round headed doorway flanked by banded pilasters supporting a modillioned canopy while the outer bays contained mullioned and transomed bay windows with ornate parapets above.
all three bays were surmounted by dutch gables containing oculli and, in the case of the outer bays, decorated with finials. internally, the principal room was the main assembly hall. petty session hearings were held in the building once a fortnight in the 19th century. the building was used for various public events including political meetings and, in march 1923, the first-class cricketer and local member of parliament, michael falcon, gave a speech there: falcon lost his seat at the general election nine months later. during the second world war, the building served as a civil defence report centre, as a recruiting post for arp staff and as a first aid post; it also acted as an administration centre for children evacuated from london to families in the norfolk area. after the war the use of the building as an events venue declined and it was sold for commercial use: the company that had originally developed it was wound up in the 1960s.
following local government re-organisation in 1974, the building also became the offices of the local parish council. by the early 21st century part of the building was in use as a tourist information centre, but it also accommodated a local hairdressing salon. a programme of works to convert three of its rooms into additional guest accommodation for an adjacent public house, the swan, was completed in august 2017. this article is about the small settlement, for the township see rooks creeks township rooks creek is a small hamlet in rooks creek township, livingston county, illinois. the hamlet is served by the pontiac, il mail service and shares a pontiac address. history what little that's left is a grain elevator owned by graymont grain co-op since 1990, and a house. the elevator sits along the alignment of a former illinois central line that was closed on december 1, 1981 and removed later. the 2022 uruguayan segunda división is the season of second division professional of football in uruguay.

the type specimen, named cmnh 46133, consists of a brain case, poorly preserved jaws and gills, a pectoral fin, and a partial vertebral axis. this creatures most startling feature were its broad pectoral fins which resembled those of stingrays and angel sharks (squatina). the holotype specimen has about 15 teeth in its jaw. this creature is named after the angel shark. teeth found in derbyshire, england have been tentatively identified as those belonging to s. caudispinatus. classification because of the bizarre nature of squatinactis, it is somewhat difficult to classify. in the original study conducted in 1974, lund noted that the teeth of this fish are cladodont is design. this doesn't really help however, as the term ´´cladodont´´ is used to describe most paleozoic chondrichthyeans based on their teeth and not phylogeny (including cladoselache, ctenacanthus, and dracopristis). this fish is currently classed within the elasmobranchii, more specially in its own grouping, the squatinactiformes.

the doctrine redefines the modern concept of interstate conflict and warfare puts it on a par with political, economic, informational, humanitarian and other non-military activities. the doctrine became known after its publication in february 2013 and the subsequent actions of russia in relation to ukraine, which fully coincide with the theses of this doctrine. according to a number of researchers, the key elements of the gerasimov doctrine underlie the concept of "". however, there are opinions, that hybrid warfare is alien to russian military theory. history the appearance of the term "gerasimov doctrine" was preceded by the speech by gerasimov before the russian academy of military sciences with a report on hybrid war in february 2013 and publication of the main theses of the report in the gerasimov article "the value of science in anticipation" in the military and industrial courier.
this article was reprinted in the english-language magazine military review and subsequently quoted many times in the western press. doctrine the doctrine calls for a 4:1 ratio of non-military to military action. military action military measures of strategic deterrence strategic deployment. warfare. peacekeeping operations. non-military actions formation of coalitions and alliances. political and diplomatic pressure. economic sanctions economic blockade breakdown of diplomatic relations. formation of political opposition. action of opposition forces. conversion of the economy of the country confronting russia to the military rails. finding ways to resolve the conflict. changing the political leadership of the country confronting russia. implementation of a set of measures to reduce tensions in relations after the change of political leadership. in addition, the doctrine assumes "information confrontation," without specifying whether these activities are military or non-military.
evaluation of the doctrine by experts the gerasimov doctrine is a response to the "color revolutions" doctrine, particularly the events of the arab spring. according to some experts, its key elements are based on the historical roots of russia's previous military doctrine and show a striking similarity to the provisions of china's "unlimited war" doctrine, published in 1999. it is believed that this doctrine can be seen as a reinterpretation in the realities of the 21st century of the well-known concept of unconventional warfare, which in modern russian military terminology are called "nonlinear". within this framework, the main goal of "nonlinear warfare" is to achieve the desired strategic and geopolitical results, using a wide toolbox of non-military methods and means: explicit and covert diplomacy, economic pressure, winning the sympathy of the local population, etc. according to the u. s.
military, the "gerasimov doctrine" represents the most complete embodiment of the latest achievements of russian military thought in a new type of warfare, which demonstrates the unprecedented integration of all capabilities of national influence to achieve strategic advantages. based on the discreteness of the idea of war, which was established in russian culture by leo tolstoy's classic novel war and peace, the gerasimov doctrine has blurred the lines between the polarized states of "war" and "peace," introducing a kind of analog to the western idea of an intermediate continuum or "gray zone. american analysts point out that the russian military's use of the new developments surprisingly inverts some of the fundamental paradigms of armed confrontation that were laid down in the works of carl von clausewitz and have been considered immutable for centuries.
for example, clausewitz's definition of war as a "continuation of politics, but by other means" no longer applies in the "gerasimov doctrine" because it does not consider war as a continuation of politics, but politics as a continuation of war, emphasizing that the effective conduct of politics may involve a broader arsenal of non-military means and methods. similarly, the gerasimov doctrine forces a reconsideration of several other important tenets, such as clausewitz's military-theoretical understanding of the "center of gravity" as a key point of effort. western experts were particularly concerned by the apparent focus of the russian "gerasimov doctrine" on exploiting the weak links of the western principle of managerial decision making, which is based on a system of checks and balances that implies exhaustive analysis of the situation, lengthy public discussion and extensive coordination of the efforts of various agencies (the state department, the department of defense, etc. ).
in contrast, the russian model of governance, based on gerasimov's ideas, seamlessly combines all the authoritative institutions, making coordination between them completely unencumbered. moreover, their functioning is hidden from the outside observer by an impenetrable veil of secrecy, and the available tools use the applied achievements of , which allows the russian authorities to act rigidly, flexibly and quickly, not particularly distracted by such conventions as legality, legitimacy, etc. . application of the doctrine given the release date of the gerasimov report and russia's subsequent actions, many experts are inclined to link these events and directly point to russia's use of the doctrine against ukraine and the usa. criticism some experts believe that gerasimov did not present anything new, and doubt the existence of such a doctrine.
for example, roger mcdermott, an expert on the armed forces of the former soviet union, points out in the specialized journal parameters that gerasimov deliberately ignores the factors that conceptually unite the various wars and armed conflicts, emphasizing that each has its own history and unique path of development. . as r. mcdermott writes, the denial in the context of gerasimov's ideas of a generalizing model that could be perceived as a holistic doctrine is more than compensated for by the meanings attributed to his statements by western specialists. according to r. mcdermott, myths about the emergence of russia's latest and deadliest hybrid warfare doctrine are one of the most dangerous aspects of the confrontation between russia and nato.
political scientist mark galeotti stated in an article for foreign policy that the famous "gerasimov doctrine," which is understood in the west as an "expanded theory of modern warfare" or even "a vision of total war," does not exist in reality, and that he himself is the inventor of this term. see also dulles' plan notes references chivvis c.

it was last seen in 1870 and is presumed extinct. lifecycle and history like other 13-year magicicada, brood xxi cicadas would tunnel to the surface of the ground in massive numbers during late-april to early-june of emergence years. after emerging, the nymphs would molt to become adult cicadas, mate, lay eggs, and then die off over the course of a few weeks. once the eggs hatched, the nymphs would burrow back underground around tree roots to grow and develop for 13 years, thus completing the cycle. the extreme and sudden population explosion of adult brood xxi cicadas was likely a form of predator satiation, a tactic utilized by extant periodical cicada broods. brood xxi was only one of four 13-year broods prior to extinction. the surviving three are brood xix (the "great southern brood"), brood xxii (the "baton rouge brood"), and brood xxiii (the "mississippi valley brood").
carl friedrich august grosse (5 june 1768 – 15 march 1847) also known as edouard romeo vargas-bedemar was a german author, translator, aesthetic philosopher, and mineralogist. he is best known for his gothic novel der genius, which was translated into english by peter will as horrid mysteries, subtitled "a story from the german of the marquis of grosse" and subsequently referenced by jane austen as one of the seven 'horrid novels' in northanger abbey. his philosophy focused on the aesthetics of sublimity, following the work of friedrich schiller, and provided one of the first philosophical treatments of imagination. biography grosse was born in magdeburg, germany on 5 june 1768, the son of erenst grosse, a successful doctor, and dorothea elizabeth amalia schröder.
in 1786, he enrolled at the university of göttingen to study medicine, and began his literary career there with essays on the sublime and transmigration of the soul, as well as engaging in translation of works by scottish moral philosopher and poet james beattie. he transferred to the university of halle in late 1788, where he joined secret societies. afterwards, he travelled to italy and switzerland, and returned to göttingen sporting the cross of the knights of malta, claiming to have inherited a title "marquis grosse of vargas" from a deceased italian aristocratic wife, a claim quickly exposed as a fraud which forced him to leave göttingen for spain in 1791. grosse spent two years in spain, attacking in writing göttingen's academic society for rejecting him. in 1793 he moved to italy, claiming to be edouard romeo, count of vargas, a falsified title to which he added baron bedemar in 1795. he lived in italy until 1808, when he was accused of political conspiracy.
he was again forced to move, and settled in denmark, where he became friends with the future king of denmark christian viii and was entrusted by the danish government with several high offices. grosse also served some time in the austrian military as an officer. while in denmark, he made a reputation as a mineralogist and mining expert. respected as a geologist, he joined several danish scientific societies and went on study trips to the faroe islands, scotland, scandinavia, russia, the azores, and the canary islands. for most of his life, grosse lived using the name edouard romeo vargas, and published the majority of his works using it. he invented a fake family for himself: father carl emmanuel von vargas, mother elizabeth murray (who he claimed was of old scottish ancestry), and sister rosalia von spreti. grosse's fiancée luise michaelis described him as "mysterious, impressive, and frightening" and ultimately did not end up marrying him. grosse died on 15 march 1847 in copenhagen.
philosophy grosse was a philosopher of sublimity, contemporaneous with and strongly influenced by friedrich schiller. grosse was a proponent of hearing as the sense best suited to the sublime, rather than the typically privileged sight. he wrote that the ear is "most suited to an indefinite schwärmerei of imagination. " he also theorized that distance of sound (which he called "entfernung" had a key role in producing sublime experiences, writing "a soft music heard from afar is far more stirring than if heard in the concert hall; and the wavering tones of the distant [entfernung] set off the power of imagination into the realm of scattered images. " grosse applied gothic landscape traditions to the mind, where psychological responses are framed in terms of physical spaces of light and dark.
according to grosse, the imagination turns passive emotional sublimity into an active emotional without any moral evaluation, a philosophical stance that anticipated amoralism and was one of the earliest attempts at a theory of imagination. influence grosse's literature was an influence on german romantic writers, including ludwig tieck and e. t. a. hoffman. though tieck was strongly influenced by grosse and incorporated his themes and ideas in his work, he also criticized grosse, calling him "a gracious, imaginative, and sensitive sort of person, only he lacks and will always lack power and depth. " in entitling a philosophical treatise, grosse took schiller's title über das erhabene, which was subsequently reused by tieck in 1792 and again by grosse and schiller in 1801.
through über das erhabene, grosse took ideas of edmund burke, james beattie, and johann georg schlosser, and was alongside schiller's von erhabenen, introduced a british aesthetic sublimity to the german philosophical scene, which to that moment had been dominated by french-originated moral sublimity. der genius was loosely translated into english by peter will and entitled horrid mysteries. printed by minerva press, the book became well known to an english audience and was included by jane austen among seven 'horrid' novels in northanger abbey, alongside the necromancer by karl friedrich kahlert, the castle of wolfenbach by eliza parsons, clermont by regina maria roche, the mysterious warning, a german tale, by eliza parsons, the midnight bell by francis lathom, and the orphan of the rhine by eleanor sleath. the book was favoured by early english romantics. however, it was forgotten in the ensuing decades and all seven books were assumed to be fictitious inventions of austen.

at the age of 18, she graduated with a degree from the barnard college. in 1949, she received a medical degree from columbia university's college of physicians and surgeons. in april 1984, she received a special award, albert lasker special public health award, by the albert d. and mary lasker foundation. personal life she was married to c. wayne bardin and has two children. awards lasker award (1984) references external links dorothy t. the baker-gorbachev pact between the then secretary of state of the united states, james baker, and the general secretary of the communist party of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev was a commitment reached in february 1990 by these countries in the context of german reunification according to which a unified germany may enter nato while the alliance would not expand to any other country of the eastern bloc.
the existence of this pact of was always defended by soviet general secretary gorbachev on numerous occasions and by historians such as mary elise sarotte, while there has been a debate on if this agreement was verbal or written. several declassified memorandums and documents both soviet and from the united states reflect the existence of these negotiations during 9 february 1990. the following day federal german chancellor helmut kohl joined the negotiations in moscow. the agreements were an important step towards the consensus of the two superpowers (the u. s. and the soviet union) on german reunification and allowed for the subsequent signing of the two plus four agreement which paved the way for german unification. after the dissolution of the soviet union nato would eventually expand to fourteen countries (including germany) in the period from 1990 to 2017 rendering the rest of the agreement worthless.
compliance with the agreements was one of the pretexts used by vladimir putin, president of russia in 2022, to demand a legal ban on ukraine joining nato. the agreement the process of fall of the berlin wall, the german reunification and the collapse of the communist governments (1989-1991) brought enormous changes in the countries of the eastern bloc -then allies of russia or part of the soviet union- altering the geopolitical balance of alliances and power in europe. on february 9, 1990, during the process of german reunification, the secretary of state of the united states, john baker, visited the then general secretary of the communist party of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev and his minister of foreign affairs eduard shevardnadze, and a day later, there was also the visit of the chancellor of federal germany helmut kohl. the goal was to appease the soviets by including a unified germany in the western orbit.
gorbachev went so far as to propose a pan-european security structure, including russia's entry into nato. baker considered this pan-european idea "a dream" unattainable. baker and kohl convinced gorbachev that a unified germany would join nato, which would be better than an independent but militarized germany, while promising no further expansion of the alliance to the east. baker assured gorbachev on february 9, 1990: 'we understand the need for assurances to the countries in the east. if we maintain a presence in a germany that is a part of nato, there would be no extension of nato's jurisdiction for forces of nato one inch to the east'. gorvachec was very clear to baker: 'such an expansion would be “unacceptable”. result after the dissolution of the soviet union in 1991 and the gulf war the world order was completely altered.
nato ended up expanding to fourteen eastern countries (former gdr in 1990, czech republic, hungary, poland in 1999; bulgaria, estonia, latvia, lithuania, romania, slovakia, slovenia in 2005; albania, croatia in 2009 and montenegro in 2017), some of them on the border with russia. the agreements were again the subject of public debate in 2022 on the occasion of the 2021–2022 russo-ukrainian crisis, during which the russian president vladimir putin demanded compliance with the 1990 agreement to gorbachev and the legal ban on ukraine joining nato, which both ukraine and nato refused. the crisis ultimately led to the 2022 russian invasion of ukraine. the navarch () was the magistrate who commanded the fleet in ancient sparta. history and role the powers of the navarch were extensive and were not subordinate to the two spartan kings. the navarch commanded the fleet, but also performed the sacrifices, distributed wages and booty, negotiated with foreign states, and even administered the territories he captured.
aristotle therefore described the navarchy as another kingship. an ambitious man such as lysander yielded formidable influence in sparta through his time as navarch at the end of the peloponnesian war. the office is mentioned for the first time by herodotus in 480 during the persian wars, but it was likely created earlier, perhaps in 512 for the first attack of sparta against athens by anchimolus, likely the first navarch. it seems the navarchy disappeared after the catastrophic defeat of leuctra in 371. in the beginning the office was probably irregular, and probably that no navarch was appointed for most of the pentecontaetia (479–431), as the spartans did not launch any navy during this period. following the defeat of the spartan navy at cyzicus in 410, a law was passed an established fixed terms from spring to spring. in about 400 another law forbade iteration of the office, but repetition was apparently allowed, since teleutias was probably navarch three times.
this law could furthermore be bypassed by appointing a secretary (, )—in effect vice-admiral—to the navarch; the influential lysander therefore became secretary twice. the navarchs were elected for one year by the spartan assembly, supervised by the ephors. one exception took place in 395, when the king agesilaus ii was granted the privilege to appoint the navarch. list of spartan navarchs references bibliography ancient sources aristotle, politics. modern sources paul cartledge, sparta and lakonia, a regional history 1300–362 bc, london, routledge, 2002 (originally published in 1979). isbn 0-415-26276-3 caroline falkner, "astyochus, sparta's incompetent navarch?

on january 20, 2022, the senate committee on the judiciary voted to advance the legislation in a 16–6 vote. background following a sixteen-month investigation, the house committee on the judiciary released a 450-page report in 2020 alleging that big tech companies have engaged in anti-competitive conduct. according to cicilline, both aico and five accompanying pieces of antirust legislation approved by the house committee on the judiciary in june 2024 were borne out of the report's findings. provisions under the house legislation (h. r.
3816), aico would forbid covered platforms from: "self-preferencing" their own products at the expense of competitors intentionally disadvantaging other firms' products or services using non-public data generated by a business user to advantage the covered platform's own products interfering with pricing decisions set by another business user the legislation would also prohibit covered platforms from retaliating against a business user that notifies law enforcement about the activities of covered platforms. if passed, the federal trade commission (ftc) and the department of justice (doj) would be responsible for determining which platforms are "covered platforms" subject to aico, and would be tasked with enforcement of the law. penalties h. r. 3816 specifies penalties for covered platforms that violate aico. failure to comply with the law would result in fining the offending platform up to 15% of their u. s. revenue in the prior calendar year or up to 30% of their u. s.
revenue for any one line of business harmed by their actions. violation of aico would additionally result in restitution as well as disgorgement. companies affected if enacted, only companies with 50 million or more monthly users in the u. s. and a market capitalization of at least $600 billion would be governed by the provisions of aico. according to reporting by axios, aico would prevent apple and google's android from setting "prices and policies for their app stores that rivals have complained make them lose business and revenue". the legislation also aims to prevent amazon from "self-preferencing" their own products at the expense of those sold by third parties. impact on cybersecurity according to richard stiennon, the chief research analyst at cybersecurity company it-harvest, aico would not prevent covered platforms from investing in cybersecurity measures.
stiennon noted that google would be able to block phishing efforts on gmail, and would similarly be permitted to continue scanning apps submitted to its google play store. legislative history house of representatives h. r. 3816 was introduced by cicilline on june 11, 2021, with fellow democrat jerry nadler (d-ny) and republicans ken buck (r-co) and lance gooden (r-tx) as original cosponsors. on june 24, 2022, the house committee on the judiciary voted to advance the legislation in a 24–20 vote. the legislation has not received a floor vote in the full house of representatives. senate s. 2992 was introduced as a companion bill to h. r. 3816 by klobuchar and grassley on october 14, 2021. on january 20, 2022, the senate committee on the judiciary voted in favor of advancing the legislation in a 16–6 bipartisan vote. aegilops biuncialis is a species in the family poaceae native to the mediterranean, black sea, and middle east.

jane cakebread (1829/1830 – 17 december 1898) was a 19th-century british domestic worker and inebriate who, according to official records, was convicted 281 times for drunkenness. nearly every court in london and its vicinity had a record of her conduct and acts. it was these records of continuous arrest and sentence that started england, her case focusing public attention on the ineffectiveness of the short-term imprisonment policy of dealing with drunkenness. the inebriates act 1898 was directly due to her and similar cases. early life and education jane cakebread was born in sawbridgeworth in the english county of hertfordshire in 1827 or 1828. she was the eldest child of susan and james cakebread. her father was a carter and carpenter from clavering, essex. her father died at 71 years of age in 1852, and her mother at 62 years in 1863. the cakebreads were a family of five sons and three daughters and she had very little schooling. career cakebread became what she called a "single-handed parlour maid".
in 1861 she was employed by charles friend hardy who worked at the london stock exchange. she memorised chapters of the bible, including one from the book of job concerning the uncertainty of human life. while in service, it was said that her employers left her a legacy of . she did no work after that. if true, then she either wasted it or got robbed of it. then began her life of inebriety and her first appearances in london police courts charged with being "drunk and disorderly". "miss cakebread", as she loved to call herself, or "jane", as she was known on the streets, was molested and baited for sport by boys in the street. she was adopted by thomas holmes who was employed by the courts as their missionary. street life for more than fifteen years, cakebread was a familiar figure at worship street, clerkenwell, and subsequently at north london police courts. magistrates found her amusing and she was usually dealt with leniently.
she said "it was quite a pleasure to appear before a metropolitan police magistrate". she was happy to be "reported" and she enjoyed being known to local police officers. one of her joys was to read about herself being reported. she was a frequest visitor to millbank prison up to 1890. when millbank closed, females were received into holloway prison. philanthropists tried to improve her life style and she took advantage of it. during the great frost of 1895, for nine weeks, cakebread slept out doors using a bed made from a bundle of sticks, and she washed in the river lea. lady henry somerset opened a farm colony and children's home at duxhurst, reigate in 1899 to rehabilitate alcoholics as part of the temperance movement. she brought cakebread there to dry out, but cakebread complained she was "buried alive". lady henry found cakebread to be quarrelsome and spiteful, and she allowed her back to london after three months. cakebread returned to sleeping on stamford hill, begging and inebriation.
when she was arrested on january 21, 1896, she was remanded to holloway sanatorium where she was declared insane. claybury asylum on january 31, 1896, cakebread, stated to be 62, but whose real age was older, was admitted into claybury asylum from the hackney workhouse, having been previously in holloway prison. while nominally a servant, was in reality a vagrant who had not been self-supporting for at least 30 years. she was found to be vague and disconnected, believing herself to be a "lady of high character," entitled to a fortune, a portion of which had been stolen from her. her appearance was striking; her manner was at times gracious and condescending. she was physically well except for incipient cataract. she would promise to be well behaved and then suddenly become abusive, violent and threatening. cakebread wrote letters about living in a beautiful country cottage, where the birds sang, the trees gave a shade, and the breeze blew.
but as time went by, she became more noisy, more flagrantly untruthful, less and less amenable to discipline, and more inordinately fond of notice. she would put up her hair in curl-papers, decorate herself with bits of ribbon and lace to impress the doctors on their rounds. a desire for prominence amounting to a disease, she was wholly indifferent and indiscriminating as to the personality of her audience. it was accompanied by jealousy, distrust of the nurses, who she thought injured her, and by violent outbursts of anger when the praise for which she longed was not forthcoming. believing herself a grand lady, she constituted herself a supervisor of the patients in the hospital, a conceit in which she was humored by the attendants. despite her high opinion of herself, cakebread had no selfconfidence. she depended almost entirely upon the opinions of others, and this was the cause of her lack of self-control, her fickleness and vacillation. she was considered by many eminently religious.
she was absolutely untruthful, but this was due to defective memory, a pathological condition induced by alcohol. at the end of a year, she was unchanged in regard to the want of self-control. at the end of two years, there was no improvement. at the end of three years, she appeared to be more demented, and there was a total collapse. cakebread died at claybury asylum, 17 december 1898, of heart failure and dropsy, with cirrhosis of the liver and kidneys. hanna veres, ukrainian: га́нна іва́нівна ве́рес (21 december 1928 - 11 june 2003) was a folk artist, embroiderer and weaver from ukraine. she was the daughter of the artist and weaver, maria posobchuk, and the mother of artists valentina and elena veres. she was awarded the shevchenko national prize with anna vasylashchuk in 1968. biography veres was born on 21 december 1928 in the village of obukhovychi (uk) in the vyshhorod district of kyiv region. her mother was the artist, maria posobchuk (uk).
veres had two daughters, valentina (uk) and elena veres, both of whom also became artists. according to historian, n m nevega, posobchuk taught her daughter many of her skills, which she in turned passed on to her daughters. a specialist in the field of decorative textile arts, especially artistic embroidery, veres created traditional polesian woven towels, as well as decorative fabrics and panels. towels are a traditional ukrainian textile: they are used as a special surface for food to be served on, and many are given as gifts at significant life moments. she founded the museum of folk weaving in ivankiv, which opened in 1988 and closed in 1992. her works toured to america, where they were shown in toronto and montreal. from 1966 to 1968 she made a series of ornamental textiles, dedicated to taras shevchenko. the 1971 edition of shevchenko's kobzar is illustrated with reproductions of her towels co-produced with anna vasylashchuk (uk).
