**Pangda** (庞达村) is a village constructed by China in the Doklam region near the India-Bhutan-China trijunction. It is approximately 10 km east of the trijunction in territory claimed by China but shown as part of Bhutan in international maps. The village was constructed in 2020 on the bank of the Amo Chhu river (or Torsa River).

Media reports in November 2020 said that the village was constructed approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) within Bhutanese territory based on third-party satellite images. This was later denied by Bhutan and China.

## History

### Background

China has had ongoing claims to the Doklam region at the border between its Yadong County and Bhutan's Haa District near the trijunction with India. The region is the basin of a small stream called Doklam stream (also called Torsa Nala), which originates on the Doklam plateau and joins the Amo Chhu river 15 km downstream.

In 2017, Indian and Chinese forces skirmished on the Doklam plateau after China attempted to extend a road across the Doklam stream towards the Zhompelri ridge that overlooks the Indian plains. After several injuries on both sides, India and China withdrew their forces to previously held positions, effectively ending the standoff. Despite the disengagement, satellite imagery showed that China continued to develop the area and reinforce the disputed region.

### Pangda village

Satellite images on 28 October 2020 showed a new village being constructed on the banks of Amo Chhu. Chinese state media claimed that residents moved into the new village in September 2020 from Shangdui village in Yadong county.

In November 2020, media reports said that the village was constructed approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) within Bhutanese territory based on third-party open source maps. The reports were denied by the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, *The Bhutanese*, and the Bhutanese ambassador to India, who said that "there is no Chinese village inside Bhutan." Following the denial of Pangda's encroachment of the Bhutanese border, Chinese media portrayed the accusations as an attempt by India to sow discord between Bhutan and China and drive a wedge between the two nations.

Further construction took place in 2021. This primarily consisted of a cluster of 38 new buildings north of the primary settlement and was completed in November. The village was classified as xiaokang, or moderately well-off, according to official Chinese statements.

## Geography

Pangda village was constructed directly on the banks of the Torsa River, 10 km south of any other Chinese settlement in the region. It appears to have been constructed on a sandbank. There is one road that leads out of the village, and a small retaining wall was constructed to keep floodwaters out of the village.

## Demographics

According to Chinese state media in 2020, there were 27 households in the village with 124 people. There are two administrative buildings in the village, and the villagers are reported to be primarily employed in tourism, fishing, and border patrol.

# Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match

***Mortal Kombat Legends: Cage Match*** is a 2023 American direct-to-video adult animated martial arts film based on the *Mortal Kombat* franchise, and produced by Warner Bros. Animation. It is the fourth installment in the *Mortal Kombat Legends* series and serves as an origin story for Johnny Cage, focusing on his attempt to save his co-star Jennifer Grey while fighting a secret society that plots the destruction of Earthrealm.

The film was released October 17, 2023 on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital. It received mixed-to-positive reviews from critics.

## Plot

Around Christmas in the 1980s, action star and martial artist Johnny Cage is attempting to make his big break with his next movie, *Ninja Mime*. The film's producer, Brian Van Jones, expresses concerns over the disappearance of his costar, Jennifer Grey, prompting him to seek her out alongside his loyal assistant, Chuck Golden. When he arrives at her mansion, Cage finds two women named Ashrah and Kia battling each other over a mysterious scroll. He ends up getting caught in their fight, and the three escape before Jennifer's house explodes from a planted bomb.

As Ashrah and Kia continue their fight on the highway, Cage hijacks a tour bus to pursue them, which kills Kia after Ashrah ejects her from her car. Cage manages to retrieve the scroll from Ashrah with Golden's help. The two find that it is a star map of Los Angeles with Greek text on the back. Meanwhile, Ashrah returns to the White Lotus Society to report to Lord Raiden, who encourages her to enlist Cage's help for the coming battles ahead.

On his way to report his and Golden's findings to the police, Cage is sidetracked by his agent, David Doubldy, who claims that "The Big Man" wants to hire him for a superhero film. However, when he visits his agent's office, Doubldy demands the scroll and reveals that a secret Hollywood club meeting at the Magical Mansion is interested in him. The two fight, during which Cage discovers that Doubldy is actually a demon and kills him in self-defense. With the police refusing to help, Cage and Golden decide to look into the mystery themselves and head to the Magical Mansion. While Golden deciphers the scroll, Cage attends the party and is invited as a guest by one of the club's attendees named Jataaka, who takes him under the mansion to cut off communication with Golden.

Before Jataaka can take him further underground, the two are intercepted by Ashrah, who tells Cage that Jataaka and Kia were two of three assassins aligned with the Brotherhood of Shadows, a cult intent on summoning their god, Shinnok, to conquer Earthrealm. Cage and Ashrah are able to defeat Jataaka with the help of Golden, who informs them that the Brotherhood intends to use the spell on the scroll and the "blood of a god" below the Oriental Theatre to open a gate to the Netherrealm. Before they can destroy the scroll, they are attacked and captured by the third assassin, Jennifer.

Jennifer reveals to Cage that she is a demon named Sareena and was cut off from the Netherrealm before getting sent to Earthrealm decades ago. Upon finding out that Cage possessed the blood of the gods needed to open a portal to her home, she and other demons helped set up his film career and *Ninja Mime* so that he could eventually be used as a sacrifice to summon her master, Shinnok. Ashrah and Golden escape their captivity from the director, during which Golden finds out that Ashrah is a demon formerly affiliated with the Brotherhood now focused on repenting her sins and becoming human.

Ashrah and Golden manage to rescue Cage, but not before Sareena uses his blood to create the portal to the Netherrealm, bringing Shinnok to Earthrealm. Golden suggests that they get Shinnok back through the rift and then cast the spell from the scroll to trap him back in the Netherrealm. Cage fights Shinnok in the streets near the Oriental Theatre while Golden and Ashrah face off against Jones and Sareena, who unleash their true demonic forms. Golden manages to knock Jones back into the portal before giving Ashrah back her sword that she uses to kill Sareena. With his fans and onlookers cheering him on, Cage unleashes his mystical powers that allow him to fight on par with Shinnok and manages to knock the fallen Elder God back into the portal. Golden casts the spell to close the portal, cutting off access for Shinnok and the other demons of the Netherrealm. Cage is celebrated as a hero by the public and shares a kiss with Ashrah.

Golden attempts to follow in Cage's footsteps by taking martial arts classes but eventually ends up becoming his stunt double in video games and nicknames himself "Mokap." Despite her strong feelings towards Cage, Ashrah leaves to continue her quest to slay demons and become human. Cage becomes a successful action star thanks to the strong performance of *Ninja Mime* and its sequels, but his career eventually falls apart. Cage is later seen packing his car and preparing to shoot his new film on a remote island.

## Voice Cast

## Production

During promotion for *Mortal Kombat Legends: Snow Blind* at New York Comic Con in October 2022, a fourth installment in the *Legends* series titled *Cage Match* was announced, where actor Joel McHale was announced to be reprising his role as Johnny Cage. In an interview in October 2022, Jeremy Adams revealed that he is writing the film. In June 2023, IGN announced the film's cast and details, with actress Jennifer Grey and Gilbert Gottfried among the names of the cast.

## Reception

Sam Stone of *Comic Book Resources* called the film "a goofy love letter to the '80s" and added, "There are moments throughout *Cage Match* where the audience may have to remind themselves that they're watching a *Mortal Kombat* movie because it really doesn't feel like a tangential story for the franchise and more of an off-kilter solo spinoff for Johnny Cage." Matt Donato of IGN rated the film a 6 out of 10, commenting, "Cage Match is more interested in Johnny slinging one-liners laced with ’80s pop culture references than it is replicating gameplay. It’s a contained *Mortal Kombat* movie that feels underwhelming as a result, until a third act where Johnny squares off against Shinnok up and down Hollywood Boulevard. ... It seems like *Cage Match* is trying to lampoon cheesy action movies, but instead winds up being one itself." Douglas Davidson of *Elements of Madness* said "delivering a delightful mystery that starts soft and ends with a series of blood-soaked fatalities. As long as that’s all you’re looking for, you’re going to have a good time."

# Icilia gens

The **gens Icilia** was a plebeian family at ancient Rome. During the early Republic, the Icilii were distinguished by their unwavering support for the rights of the plebeians against the patrician aristocracy.

## Branches and cognomina

The only surname of the early Icilii was *Ruga*, which properly belonged to many of the Icilii, but they are usually mentioned without a cognomen.

## Members

*This list includes abbreviated praenomina. For an explanation of this practice, see filiation.* * Spurius Icilius, one of the plebeian envoys sent to negotiate with the Senate during the first secession of the plebeians, in 494 BC. He was elected tribune of the plebs for BC 493, plebeian aedile the following year, was probably tribune again in 481, and a third time in 470.
* Gaius Icilius Ruga, one of the first plebeian tribunes, in 493 BC.
* Lucius Icilius S. f., tribune of the plebs in 456 and 455, carried a law assigning the Aventine Hill to the plebeians, and attempted to pass an agrarian law, which was blocked. In 449, he played a key role in the deposition of the decemvirs, and was again elected tribune of the plebs.

# Tingena macarella

***Tingena macarella*** is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and is found on both the North and South Islands. Adults of this species are on the wing from November until February. This species is attracted to light and the larvae are litter feeders.

## Taxonomy

This species was first described by Edward Meyrick in 1883 using specimens collected in Christchurch in January and named *Oecophora macarella*. Meyrick went on to give a more detailed description in 1884. In 1915 Meyrick placed this species within the *Borkhausenia* genus. In 1926 Alfred Philpott was unable to study the genitalia of the male of this species as no species were held in New Zealand collections. George Hudson discussed this species under the name *B. macarella* in his 1928 publication *The butterflies and moths of New Zealand*. In 1988 J. S. Dugdale placed this species in the genus *Tingena*. The male lectotype, collected in the Port Hills, is held at the Natural History Museum, London.

## Description

Meyrick first described this species as follows:

> Fore wings pale yellow, base of costa blackish, sometimes a mark on fold and bar from anal angle obscurely dark fuscous ; hind wings whitish-grey ; thorax dark fuscous, posterior margin yellowish.

Meyrick went on to do a more detailed description as follows:

> Male, female. — 12+12-14 mm. Head pale yellow. Palpi whitish-yellow, basal half of both joints externally irrorated with dark fuscous. Antennae ochreous-whitish, basal joint dark fuscous except at apex. Thorax dark fuscous, with small lateral and posterior pale yellowish spots. Abdomen grey-whitish. Anterior legs dark fuscous ; middle legs ochreous-whitish irrorated with dark fuscous, except at apex of joints ; posterior legs ochreous-whitisb. Forewings moderate, costa moderately arched, apex blunt-pointed, hindmargin very obliquely rounded ; pale yellow, somewhat suffused with deeper yellow ; costa dark fuscous towards base ; sometimes a few dark fuscous scales on fold at 13, and on a bar from disc to anal angle : cilia pale yellow, with several rows of grey points, and a darker grey shade before tips. Hindwings whitish-grey ; cilia grey-whitish.

Meyrick suggested that this species could be distinguished by its "pale yellow colouring, less defined basal mark on costa and the almost wholly dark fuscous thorax".

## Distribution

This species is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed on both the North and South Islands including in Wellington, Kapiti Island and Christchurch.

## Behaviour

The adults of this species are on the wing from November to February. *T. macarella* are attracted to light.

## Hosts

The larvae of this species are litter feeders including on the litter of *Festuca*.

# West Branch Schuylkill River

The **West Branch Schuylkill River** (also known simply as the **West Branch**) is an approximately 12.9-mile-long (20.8 km) tributary of the Schuylkill River in central Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania, with a watershed approximately 21 square miles (54 km2) in size. Several small communities are located in the watershed, which include Beaver Meadows, Buck Run, Glen Dower, Minersville, Pottsville, Cressona, and Schuylkill Haven.

Mild amounts of acid mine drainage affect the West Branch and its tributaries. From its headwaters near Interstate 81, the river flows southeast through several water gaps in the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, ending at its confluence with the Schuylkill River in Schuylkill Haven.

## Course

The West Branch's source is several small ponds east of Interstate 81, near the small community of Buck Run. The river flows east-northeast, paralleling Valley Road and later the Heckscherville Road. Near Heckscherville, it receives small tributaries Dyer Run, Wagner Run, and Wheeler Creek, all on the left bank. It then flows south and southeast past Minersville, and finally east through a narrow canyon, where it receives Indian Run on the right bank.

After exiting the canyon, it turns south and enters an increasingly wide valley. At Cressona, it receives Panther Creek on the right bank and Beaver Creek on the left bank. As the river enters Schuylkill Haven it merges with the Schuylkill River on the right bank.

# Panethite

**Panethite**, chemical formula (Na,Ca)2(Mg,Fe)2(PO4)2, is a rare phosphate mineral that was only found in one meteorite on Earth. It was originally found in the Dayton meteorite in Ohio. It is classified as H-M symbol (2/m) with space group of *P*21/n. It is amber in color. It was named in the honor of Friedrich Adolf Paneth (1887–1958), a German chemist who made many contributions toward the discovery of the origin of the universe, and especially studies of meteorites.

## Structure

Using X-ray diffraction, the unit cell and the space group parameters were determined. The strongest lines of the X-ray were 5.10(6), 3.236(5), 3.007(10), 2.749, 2.710(7) (American Mineralogist, 509). But the error of the cell lengths were relatively high due to twinning and some disorder in the grains examined. Panethite has a monoclinic crystal system with a0=10.18 ±0.01Å, b0=14.90 ±0.02Å, c0=25.87 ±0.03Å and β =91.1˚, and its space group P21/n. Within the error that accompanied the microprobe analysis, the X-ray density was found to be 2.99g/ml.

## Properties

Both brianite and panethite were clear and transparent with no crystal faces; and neither present any discernible cleavage. Panethite is a biaxial negative, pale amber in its color and the estimated 2V was approximated to be 51˚. The refractive indices are α=1.567, β=1.576, γ = 1.579 all ±0.001 (Fuchs, 1967). Even though panethite lacks the lamellar structure that brianite shows, panethite shows simple twinning. The higher refractive indices along with the lamellae structure of brianite help us to distinguish these two minerals apart under the microscope. The specific gravity of panethite was between 2.90 and 3.0. Both minerals were insoluble in water. Panethite and brianite are the minerals known to have the greatest amount of sodium content in meteorites (Fuchs, 1967).

Panethite was named after the then director of the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, Germany, Friedrich Adolf Paneth (1887-1958).

# Moses Hoge

**Moses Hoge** (February 15, 1752 – July 5, 1820) was a Presbyterian minister as well as an educator and abolitionist. He served as the sixth President of Hampden–Sydney College.

## Early life

Moses Hoge was born in Cedar Grove, Virginia, to James and Nancy Hoge (née Griffiths) in 1752.

## Career

Hoge prepared for the ministry under the traditional apprentice-style system. He had been pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Shepherdstown, Virginia (now West Virginia), for twenty years and was famous as a preacher, theological teacher, and tract-writer when he was elected President of Hampden–Sydney College in June 1807. From the start, Hoge's main interest was in training ministers, and his efforts laid the groundwork for the establishment of what became Union Theological Seminary (now Union Presbyterian Seminary) at the south end of the college campus. Princeton gave both Hoge and former Hampden–Sydney president Archibald Alexander Doctorate of Divinity (D.D.) degrees in 1810.

In 1820, after attending the American Bible Society convention in New York, Hoge attended the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia. During his trip, Hoge visited Princeton to see Samuel Stanhope Smith, the first president of Hampden–Sydney, whose preaching had helped lead him to the ministry over forty years earlier. Hoge died on July 5 during his visit to Philadelphia.

Hoge was known for his powerful, moving sermons. John Randolph of Roanoke frequently went to hear Hoge preach. Randolph, in writing of him, said, "Doctor Hoge was the most eloquent man I ever heard in the pulpit or out of it." Hoge was instrumental in founding Virginia's only chapter of the American Colonization Society.

## Personal life

Hoge married Elizabeth Poage, August 23, 1783, daughter of John Poage of Staunton, Virginia – she was the mother of all of his children, and died June 18, 1802. He later married Susan Hunt (born Susannah Watkins), on October 25, 1803.

## Death and legacy

Hoge died on July 5, 1820. His third son, Samuel Davies Hoge, married Elizabeth Rice Lacy, daughter of Drury Lacy – the third president of Hampden–Sydney College.

***Prostanthera petraea*** is a species of flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae and is endemic to a restricted area near the Queensland–New South Wales border. It is a large shrub to small tree with ridged, glandular branches, egg-shaped leaves and white flowers usually without markings.

## Description

*Prostanthera petraea* is a shrub or small tree that typically grows to a height of 1–3 m (3 ft 3 in – 9 ft 10 in) and has branches with two longitudinal ridges. The leaves are dull olive-green above, much paler below, egg-shaped, 40–70 mm (1.6–2.8 in) long and 12–26 mm (0.47–1.02 in) wide on a petiole about 5–12 mm (0.20–0.47 in) long. The flowers are arranged in groups near the ends of branchlets with bracteoles 2.5–3 mm (0.098–0.118 in) long at the base, but that fall off as the flower develops. The sepals are light green and form a tube 4.5–5 mm (0.18–0.20 in) long with two lobes, the lower lobe 3.5–4 mm (0.14–0.16 in) long and the upper lobe 2.5–3.3 mm (0.098–0.130 in) long. The petals are white, usually without markings, 8–12 mm (0.31–0.47 in) long forming a tube 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long with two lips. The central lobe of the lower lip is 5.5–7 mm (0.22–0.28 in) long and 4.5–5.5 mm (0.18–0.22 in) wide and the side lobes are 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long and 3–3.5 mm (0.12–0.14 in) wide.

# Palikur

The **Palikur** are an indigenous people located in the riverine areas of the Brazilian state of Amapá and in French Guiana, particularly in the south-eastern border region, on the north bank of the Oyapock River. The Palikur Nation, or *naoné*, is Arawak-speaking and socially organized in clans. In 2015, the estimated population was 2,300 people of which 1,400 lived in Brazil and 900 in French Guiana.

## Names

The Palikur people are also known as the Paricuria, Paricores, Palincur, Parikurene, Parinkur-Iéne, Païkwené, Pa'ikwené, Aricours, Aukuyene, Karipúna-Palikúr, Palicur, Palijur, Palikour, Paricura, Paricuri, or Parucuria people.

## History

The location of the Palikur near the mouths of the Amazon made them one of the first Amazonian tribes ever encountered by Europeans. As early as 1507 their name was recorded by the Spanish explorer Vicente Yañez Pinzón. By the middle of the 17th century there was an estimated 1,200 Palikur population, of which were 400 bowmen, about one third of their total population living between the Cassiporé and Maroni rivers. They were engaged in a century-long war with the Galibi, and resisted missionary activities. The Palikur were also embroiled in the protracted colonial rivalry between Portugal and France for control of the region, extending south of Ile de Cayenne (French Guiana) into what today constitutes the Brazilian state of Amapá. A Portuguese expedition of the late 18th century burned all Indian villages in the territory, which was then under French influence, and deported the Palikur, who had become allies with the French, into the interior of Brazil. Consequently, the Palikur remained isolated for much of the next century. After Amapá was finally conceded to Brazil in 1900, some 200 to 300 Palikur chose to move from Brazil to French Guiana, where they had long enjoyed good relations with the Créole population.

Prejudice against indigenous peoples of Brazil was strong among non-natives. The Palikur had not forgotten their ancestors' enslavement by the Portuguese. In 1942 the Brazilian Indian Protection Service (SPI) installed a Nationalization Service in the area with the purpose of integrating the natives, but with limited success. As an example, the Palikur elders refused schooling to their people because they perceived it as a form of slavery. In the early 1960s, a community schism following a shamanic war caused part of the Brazilian Palikur community to relocate to French Guiana. Successive waves of migrants have continued to replenish the French Guianese Palikur community. Not until the late 1960s, with the creation of FUNAI, and as they began converting to Pentecostalism, did the Palikur became more responsive to the Brazilian government.

## Settlements

KumenêTrois PalétuviersSaint GeorgesFlechaKamuywaUrubuRéginaclass=notpageimage|Location of the Palikur settlements on the map of Amapá, Brazil. Green are minority settlements.

The area around the Urucaua River is their ancestral territory. Between 1982 and 1991 FUNAI demarked a common area of 5181 km2 for the Palikur, the Uaçá Galibi, and the Karipuna do Amapá.

The main settlement of the Palikur is Kumenê. Other settlements in Brazil are Kuahi, Ywawka, Flecha, Mangue 1, Mangue 2, Tawari, Amomni, Kwikwit, Pwaytyeket, Kamuywa, and Urubu.

The Palikur in French Guiana mainly live on the Oyapock River in the village of Trois-Palétuviers, and the main town of Saint-Georges. A part of the population moved to Régina, Roura, Lamirande near Balata, and the neighbourhood of l’îlet Malouin in Cayenne.

## Language

The main language is the Palikúr language, both on the Brazilian and French side, French Guianese Creole is used as the common language between tribes or with the local population. Knowledge of French and Portuguese is common. Palikúr is considered endangered in French Guiana, and vulnerable in Brazil.

## Economy

The Palikur subsist largely on bow and arrow fishing, supplemented by hunting and horticulture. Manioc, roasted, or used for the preparation of flat cakes and beer, is the main cultivated plant. Sweet potatoes, sugarcane, peppers, gourds, cotton, and papayas, which the Palikur have adopted from the Europeans, along with mangoes, coffee, and citrus trees, are also cultivated. Commercial relations between the Palikur and the Europeans began to intensify in the early 18th century; river and forest products were exchanged for tools, harpoons, clothes and glass beads. Until the end of the 19th century the main commercial surplus was roasted manioc flour. In the 1940s and 1950s an intense commerce with alligator skins took place, until the alligator population was depleted. The Palikur manufacture objects of wood, bone, feathers, and cotton seed. They are also regionally famous for their basket-ware. Shotguns for hunting and harpoons and cotton fishing lines are being widely used at the present. In French Guiana particularly, a growing number of Palikur are engaging in the market-economy.

# Tingena marcida

***Tingena marcida*** is a species of moth in the family Oecophoridae. It is endemic to New Zealand and has been observed in Canterbury. Adults are on the wing in September and October.

## Taxonomy

This species was described by Alfred Philpott in 1927 using specimens collected at Bottle Lake in Christchurch by Stewart Lindsay and named *Borkhausenia marcida*. George Hudson discussed this species under that name in his 1928 publication *The Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand*. In 1988 John S. Dugdale assigned this species to the genus *Tingena*. The holotype specimen is held at the Canterbury Museum.

## Description

Philpott described this species as follows:

> ♂ ♀ 15–17 mm. Head, palpi and thorax brownish-grey. Antennae brown annulated with grey, ciliations in ♂ 1. Abdomen bronzy, mixed with grey basally, segmental divisions grey. Legs brown mixed with grey. Forewings moderate, costa moderately arched, apex rounded, termen very oblique; white, densely irrorated with pale bronzy-brownish; markings sometimes entirely absent but usually a spot of paler or brighter bronzy brown beneath fold at 13 and a similar spot in disc at 23, a spot on costa at 45 and another on tornus; dorsal spots margined posteriorly with white: fringes concolorous with wing, tips darker. Hindwings pale greyish-fuscous: fringes fuscous-grey with dark basal line.

Philpott pointed out that it is difficult to confirm the identity of this species visually as a result of its lack of markings. However the genitalia of this species is characteristic and gives more reliable evidence of the species identity. Hudson stated that this species was very similar to and might be confused with *Tingena innotella.* However *T. marcida* could be distinguished from *T. innotella* by the terminal appendages of the male of the species. As a result of its greyish colour *T. marcida* could also be confused with *Izatha psychra* however *T. marcida* has antennal pecten which is lacking in the *Izatha* species.

## Distribution

This species is endemic to New Zealand. It has been collected at its type locality of Bottle Lake as well as Governor's Bay and Mount Grey, all in Canterbury. This species has also been found in three sites of ecological significance in Christchurch as set out in the Christchurch District Plan.

## Behaviour

The adults of this species are on the wing in September and October.

# Harriet Coulter Joor

**Harriet Coulter Joor** (1875–1965) was an American artist, writer, textile and ceramics designer, and pottery decorator. Joor was among the earliest graduates of H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College, and was one of the original producers of Newcomb Pottery.

## Early life

Harriet "Hattie" Coulter Joor was born in January 1875 to Joseph F. Joor, a professor of botany at Tulane University, and E. H. Joor. Joor came to New Orleans in 1888 when her father was appointed Assistant Curator of Tulane University's Natural History Museum, and she enrolled in courses at H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College as an adolescent.

## Education

Harriet Joor enrolled in Newcomb College in 1887, and was among the first students in the Normal Art program. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in 1895 and was then enrolled as a Special Art Student from 1896 to 1900. In the summer of 1900, Joor was awarded a $125 scholarship to attend Arthur Wesley Dow's summer art institute in Ipswich. Joor then returned to New Orleans to study Graduate Art at Newcomb College from 1900 to 1901.

On her time at Newcomb College, Joor wrote:

> . . . many memories of those beginning days of Newcomb in the tiny vine-covered brick building that housed the college heating plant! We were so like a little family group the few of us working at our tables with Mr. Meyer thumping out his vases at the wheel beside us, and the big round kiln looming up in the other corner of the room, with the splashed glazing table beside it! I loved so I sued to linger on and on, forgetting everything but the jar under my hand . . .

Joor participated in the hand-modeled pottery practice, also seen in the work of Leona Nicholson. Joor's pottery that was not made on the wheel included objects like tea sets and small cones.

## Career

After graduating from Newcomb College, Joor taught pottery at the University of Chicago's School of Education. In 1906, she took a position as a staff writer at *The Craftsman*. After leaving Chicago, Joor set up a homestead in Ada, South Dakota between 1911 and 1912, living in a sod house. In 1923, Joor began teaching art at Southwestern Louisiana in Lafayette, now University of Louisiana at Lafayette.

### Exhibitions

Joor exhibited around the country, and in 1900 in Paris at the Paris Exposition Universelle. In 1904, three pieces of Joor's pottery were exhibited at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, Missouri. Joor's pottery was included in the 2014 Smithsonian survey *Women, Art, and Social Change: The Newcomb Pottery Enterprise*, which toured nationally. In 1908, five pieces of embroidery by Joor were listed with the color, motif, and price in the Catalogue of the Fifth Annual Exhibition of the Art Association of New Orleans, Newcomb Art Gallery, Corner of Camp and Sixth Streets, March 14–28, 1908, including one bag and four scarves.

## Recognition

Harriet Joor received the Neill Medal for her watercolor paintings.

## Artistic legacy

Works by Harriet Joor are in the permanent collections of a number of art museums, including The Newcomb Art Museum, The New Orleans Museum of Art, and The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, among others. In 2013, her work was included in, "Women, Art and Social Change: The Newcomb Pottery Enterprise" at the Newcomb Art Gallery.

## Auction history

A vase decorated with incised gardenias by Harriet Coulter was listed by Jean M. Bragg Gallery as Catalog No. 94 for $18,000 in 1998.

# Moses I. Cantine

**Moses I. Cantine** (January 18, 1774 - January 24, 1823) was an American politician, judge and newspaper editor from New York. A Democratic-Republican, he was most notable for his service as a member of the New York State Senate and First Judge of the Greene County Court.

## Biography

Cantine was born in Marbletown, Ulster County, New York on January 18, 1774, a son of Johannes and Maria (Brodhead) Cantine. He graduated from Princeton University in 1796, studied law, was admitted to the bar, and practiced in Greene County, New York.

A member of the Democratic-Republican Party, Cantine served as district attorney of the Third District (Columbia, Greene and Rensselaer counties) from 1805 to 1806, 1808 to 1810, and 1811 to 1818. He served in the New York State Senate from 1814 to 1818. He served as First Judge of the Greene County Court from 1818 to 1820.

A longtime member of the New York Militia, Cantine served as inspector of the 4th Brigade with the rank of major. During the War of 1812, he served on the northern frontier, the border area between New York and Canada. In 1818, he was appointed the militia's judge advocate general with the rank of lieutenant colonel.

On August 25, 1820, Cantine and Isaac Q. Leake took over the *Albany Argus* from Jesse Buel. In addition to publishing the newspaper, Cantine and Leake received appointment as the official state printers.

He died in Albany, New York on January 24, 1823. Contemporary news accounts indicate that Cantine died after drinking Crème de Noyaux. This liqueur contains trace amounts of hydrogen cyanide, and bottles left to age will sometimes have the poison concentrate near the top, posing a risk to the person who takes the first drink after the bottle is opened.

## Family

Cantine was married to Christina Hoes (1780-1823), the sister of Martin Van Buren's wife Hannah. They were the parents of two children, Moses Jr. and Christina.

**Tirreno–Adriatico**, nicknamed the "**Race of the Two Seas**", is an elite road cycling stage race in Italy, run between the Tyrrhenian and Adriatic coasts. Traditionally held in the early part of the season, and usually counter-programmed with the Paris-Nice/'Race to the Sun', it is considered to be an important preparation for the Giro d'Italia. It is part of the UCI World Tour, cycling's highest level of professional men's races.

First held in 1966, the race was held over three stages. Since 2002 it is held over seven stages. Except for the first edition, the last stage has always finished in San Benedetto del Tronto on the Adriatic Seaside. Belgian Roger De Vlaeminck holds the record for most wins with six consecutive victories in the 1970s. Italian Francesco Moser also finished six times on the podium and won the race twice.

## History

The Tirreno–Adriatico was created in 1966 by the Lazio-based cycling club *Forze Sportive Romane*. As all the illustrious Italian cycling races were held in Northern Italy, the race was named "Tre Giorni del Sud" (English: *Three days of the South*). The first edition was a three-day race, starting on 11 March 1966 in Rome and finishing two days later in Pescara. Dino Zandegù won the inaugural edition. In 1967 the second edition was run over five stages, won by Franco Bitossi.

In the 1970s the young race manifested itself as an ideal preparation race for the monument classic Milan–San Remo which was run one week later. Belgian classics specialist Roger De Vlaeminck monopolized the race with six consecutive wins. After De Vlaeminck's reign, the race was the scene of the rivalry between Italian cycling icons Giuseppe Saronni and Francesco Moser, each winning the event twice.

From 1984 to 2001 the race grew to an event raced over six to eight stages and the location shifted more towards northern Central Italy. Swiss time trial specialist Tony Rominger and Danish rider Rolf Sørensen won the race twice in the 1990s.

Since 2002 the Tirreno–Adriatico is raced over seven stages, starting on Italy's western, Tyrrhenian seashore and finishing in San Benedetto del Tronto on the Adriatic Sea. In 2005 it was included in the inaugural UCI ProTour calendar, but was reclassified in 2008 as a continental tour event when organizer RCS Sport withdrew all its events from the UCI's premier calendar. Since 2011 it is part of the UCI World Tour.

In recent years the race regularly includes mountain stages in the Apennines and many Grand Tours specialists use it as an early-season test towards the stage races later in the year. Tour de France winners Vincenzo Nibali, Cadel Evans and Alberto Contador feature on the roll of honour of the *Tirreno* since 2010. Colombian climber Nairo Quintana won the 50th edition in 2015 and again in 2017.

The 2020 event was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

## Route

In its early years Tirreno–Adriatico often started close to Rome and even Naples. Since the 1990s the start is usually higher up in seaside resorts on the Tuscan coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea, before crossing the spine of the Italian peninsula to its eastern coast on the Adriatic Sea. Raced over seven days, there are several stages for sprinters, some for climbers, usually one or two time trials and at least one uphill sprint finish for *puncheurs*.

The route of the 2015 edition is exemplary for the trend to suit stage racers. In recent years the race starts on Wednesday with a short team time trial or prologue and continues with stages for the sprinters and a stage ending in a short hilltop finish. The middle stages – raced over the weekend – are the high mountain stages of the event. In 2015, the Saturday stage ended with a 14 km climb towards the top of Selva Rotonda before the Sunday stage which ended in an uphill finish with slopes of more than 25%. The Tirreno finishes midweek, on Tuesday, in San Benedetto del Tronto in the province of Ascoli Piceno, in the Marche region.

## Trophy and leader's jersey

Since 2010, the overall winner of Tirreno–Adriatico is presented with a large gilded trident, the weapon associated with Neptune, the Roman god of the sea. Owing to the event's coast-to-coast format, it is officially named the *Sea Master Trophy*. In the days preceding the race, the trophy is ceremonially raised from the Tyrrhenian Sea by divers of the Italian Coast Guard. In keeping with the marine theme, the general classification leader's jersey is blue.

# West Fraser Timber

**West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd.**, commonly known as "**West Fraser**", is a Canadian forestry company that produces lumber, laminated veneer lumber (LVL), medium-density fibreboard (MDF), oriented strand board (OSB), plywood, pulp, newsprint, and wood chips. Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company is a member of the Forest Products Association of Canada. As of 2023, West Fraser had been recognized eight times as one of Canada's Top 100 Employers.

## History

West Fraser Timber was founded in 1955 by three brothers from Seattle: Samuel Kendall Ketcham, Henry Holman ("Pete") Ketcham Jr., and William Peters Ketcham. Their father was Hank Ketcham, who played college football for the Yale Bulldogs and was inducted to the College Football Hall of Fame.

The three brothers decided to do business together and purchased a small planing mill in Quesnel, British Columbia. Samual Ketcham served as president of the company until his death in November 1977 in a helicopter crash. He was succeeded by Douglas Johnston, and later by Chester Johnson. Henry H. Ketcham, son of "Pete" Ketcham, became president in 1985. He led the company through an initial public offering in May 1986. Later, Ketcham also became CEO and oversaw the company until 2012. Ted Seraphim subsequently became president and then CEO, until being succeeded by Raymond Ferris as president in April 2018 and CEO in June 2019.

As of 2018, "West Fraser has become the largest lumber manufacturer in North America with 8,600 employees globally – about 5,000 in Western Canada – at about 50 locations."

In April 2020, it was revealed that Canadian business magnate Jim Pattison had upped his stake in West Fraser to 13.8% ownership, prompting speculation that the billionaire had plans to merge the company with Canfor, of which he owns 51%. In response, West Fraser adopted a shareholder rights plan or "poison pill" in order to defend against any attempts at a takeover.

# Jackson Bend

**Jackson Bend** (foaled February 11, 2007, in Florida) is an American Thoroughbred racehorse who finished third to Lookin At Lucky in the Grade I $1,100,000 Preakness Stakes a Classic U.S. Triple Crown race held at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore, Maryland. Bred by Jacks or Better Farm Inc. in Ocala, Florida, he was out of the mare Sexy Stockings, whose sire was Tabasco Cat, a dual-classic winner in 1994.

## Two-year-old season

Jackson Bend started his career with five wins in his first six races, including four stakes races all carded at Calder Race Course: the In Reality Stakes at 8½ furlongs, the Frank Gomez Memorial Stakes (a 6-furlong sprint), the Affirmed Stakes at seven furlongs, and another six-furlong sprint in the Dr. Fager Stakes.

## Three-year-old season

In January 2010, Jackson Bend finished second in the grade three Holy Bull Stakes at Gulfstream Park at a mile on the dirt. In February, he was second in the Grade II Fountain of Youth Stakes at a mile and one eighth at Gulfstream behind Eskendereya. In April, he stepped up in class and ran second again to Eskendereya in the Grade I $750,000 Wood Memorial Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack in New York at a mile and an eighth.

After five wins and three graded-stakes placings, owner Robert LaPenta and trainer Nick Zito ran him in the second jewel of the Triple Crown, the $1,000,000 Preakness Stakes a Grade I at Pimlico Race Course at a mile and three sixteenths on dirt. Jackson Bend broke well and stalked the leaders in third behind First Dude and Kentucky Derby winner Super Saver passing the grandstand for the first time. He continued in third along the rail down the backstretch. Around the final turn, Eclipse Champion Lookin At Lucky and Caracortado passed him on the outside. Coming down the lane, Jackson Bend swept across five paths to the outside, passing Super Saver and Caracortado. In the final 1/16 of a mile, he continued to close on the leaders and finished third by less than a length to winner Lookin At Lucky, finishing a nose behind second-place First Dude.

## Four-year-old season

In 2011, Jackson Bend ran second in the Grade III Skip Away Stakes at Gulfstream Park at a mile and three sixteenths on dirt. In his next race, he finished third in the Memorial Day Handicap, a $75,000 stakes race run at one and one sixteenth miles on the dirt at Calder Race Course on May 30, 2011. On July 22, 2011, Jackson Bend won the $75,000 James Marvin Stakes at seven furlongs at Saratoga Race Course in 1:20.91. On September 3, 2011, he won the grade one Forego Handicap.

## Five-year-old season

On January 14, 2012, Jackson Bend won the one-mile Hal's Hope Stakes at Gulfstream Park. Under jockey John Velazquez, he was angled out in the stretch drive and scored by one length over Sangaree. In April 2012, Jackson Bend won the $400,000 Grade 1 Carter Handicap at seven furlongs at Aqueduct Racetrack. As the longest shot on the board, he held off odds-on favorite Caleb's Posse to win by a nose. Preakness Stakes winner Shackleford finished another length back in third. On May 28, 2012, Jackson Bend competed in what many analysts called the strongest field assembled all year in the $750,000 Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap (also known as the Met Mile). He finished fifth of six to Preakness Stakes winner Shackleford and Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Caleb's Posse.
