# Ferdinando Eboli

***Ferdinando Eboli*** is a Gothic tale written by Mary Shelley and published in *The Keepsake* for 1829. It is set in Italy during the Napoleonic Wars and tells the story of an Italian man named Count Ferdinando Eboli whose identity is stolen by his illegitimate older brother.

## Summary

Count Ferdinando Eboli is about to leave his home in Naples to fight for his king, King Murat (Gioacchino), but before he leaves he pays a farewell visit to his fiancée Adalinda, and her father, the Marchese Spina. After he leaves, Adalinda is musing over her love for him when she hears a noise beneath her window, and is surprised to see Ferdinand there. He climbs up into her room and asks for a lock of her hair, but he cuts his hand while snipping it. She binds his hand with one of her ribbons, and he departs.

Ferdinand is stationed in northern Italy and is sent on an important mission by Gioacchino. While performing this mission, Ferdinand is ambushed and taken to a remote shack, where he is given peasant's clothes in exchange for his own and is tied up and left by his attackers. He is freed by two peasant children and returns to headquarters, ashamed to have failed in his task. When he arrives, he is arrested as a spy, and when he is brought before the king he confronts a man who looks exactly like him and is wearing his stolen clothes. This impostor claims to be the real Ferdinand, and has been welcomed back as a hero for completing the dangerous mission. The king banishes Ferdinand, who returns to the Marchese's home. The Marchese recognizes him in spite of his altered appearance, but the imposter soon arrives and confounds the Marchese. He asks Adalinda to identify her betrothed, and she identifies the man with the cut on his hand.

Ferdinand, with nowhere else to go, returns to his estate, where he is once again met by the impostor. He is arrested and imprisoned. The impostor visits him in jail tells him that he has already married Adalinda, which is a lie. He offers to have him freed if he signs a statement acknowledging the imposter as the true Eboli, but Ferdinand refuses. He is sent away to fulfill his sentence but escapes with a fellow prisoner.

While Ferdinand is in jail, the Marchese dies, and Adalinda's marriage to Eboli is therefore delayed. As the weeks pass, Adalinda begins to suspect that the man she identified is not the real Ferdinand. She confronts him, and he reveals the truth, that he is Ferdinand's illegitimate older brother, and was raised by his jilted mother to one day take revenge upon his brother by stealing his identity. He tells Adalinda that she cannot escape, since he has replaced all of her attendants with his own people. She does manage to escape, however, by disguising herself as a page, but is forced to take shelter in what appears to be a banditto's cave after becoming lost in the woods. Two men appear: Ferdinand and his friend from prison, who have been leading a band of banditti following their escape from prison. One of their men capture the impostor in the wood as he looks for Adalinda.

Ferdinand and Adalinda seek help from Queen Caroline, who helps them bring the impostor before the King, who restores the real Ferdinand to his rights and fortune. He and Adalinda marry, and forgive the impostor, Ludovico. He joins the army and fights with his brother in Moscow, where Ludovico dies of exposure. Ferdinand would have suffered the same fate, but is captured by the enemy and eventually liberated after Napoleon's exile to Elba.

## Publication History

"Ferdinando Eboli" was first published in *The Keepsake* for 1829, a British literary annual. It was accompanied by an engraved illustration entitled *Adalinda*, painted by Alfred Edward Chalon and engraved by Charles Heath. It was reprinted in several anthologies since, but is not widely read or studied.

The *Keepsake* for 1829 is notable for its list of contributors, which includes many of the most popular writers and artists of the day, many of whom are canonical Romantic artists.

## Themes and influences

"Ferdinando Eboli" is one of several Gothic tales that Mary Shelley published in *The Keepsake*. Others include "The Evil Eye" (1830), "Transformation" (1831), "The Invisible Girl" (1832), "The Dream" (1833), and "The Mortal Immortal" (1834). The central motif in this tale is the characteristic Gothic motif of the double, or doppelgänger, which Shelley also employs in "Transformation" and her novel *Frankenstein.* Other examples of nineteenth-century Gothic fiction that employ this motif include James Hogg's *The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner* (1824), Robert Louis Stevenson's *Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde* (1886), and Oscar Wilde's *The Picture of Dorian Gray* (1890).

"Ferdinando Eboli" is often classified as a short story, but that term was not common in Britain until the 1880s. It is more accurately categorized as a Gothic tale: one that describes a strange or supernatural experience, often by a first- or third-person narrator.

# February 2007 Salvadoran congressmen killings

On 19 February 2007, three members of the ARENA party of El Salvador  Eduardo D'Aubuisson, William Pichinte and José Ramón González, as well as their driver, Gerardo Ramírez  were found murdered near Guatemala City, Guatemala. Four police detectives were arrested and charged with the murder; within three days of their arrest, the four were murdered in a maximum-security prison cell. Several prosecutors investigating the deaths have also been murdered.

## Background

The three men were members of the Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), the right-wing then-ruling party of El Salvador. Eduardo D'Aubuisson was a son of Roberto D'Aubuisson, the founder of ARENA and the leader of numerous Salvadoran death squads during that country's 1979–1992 civil war.

Guatemala has one of the highest murder rates in Latin America and is frequented by drug traffickers traveling from Colombia, through Mexico and to the United States.

## The murders

The three men were on their way to Guatemala City to attend the Central American Parliament on 19 February 2007. Their Toyota Land Cruiser, part of a four-car motorcade heading to the capital, pulled out of the convoy and onto a remote road at El Jocotillo, about 20 miles southeast of Guatemala City.

The next day, the bodies of the three congressmen and their driver were found in their charred and burnt vehicle. There were indications they had been tortured before death.

## Subsequent events

Soon after the murders, four Guatemalan policemen were arrested. They had been tracked by a GPS system embedded in a police vehicle that was at the scene of the killings. They were formally charged in connection with the case on 22 February; all four suspects were then secretly moved to the maximum-security prison *El Boqueron*, 40 miles east of Guatemala City.

On 25 February, the four men were murdered inside their prison cell. The killings were followed by a prison riot; the warden and some guards were taken hostage. Initial reports suggested that the gunmen entered the prison disguised as visitors. The national police, however, stated that it was more likely that the gunmen came from inside the prison, since it would have been almost impossible for them to have gotten past the three security perimeters thrown around the building: the prison guards, the national police, and the army. Twenty men at the prison were arrested, including the warden and many guards.

The dramatic killings immediately spawned a number of conspiracy theories, which were dismissed by Erwin Sperisen, the chief of the Guatemalan National Police: "People don't want to believe that the reality is simpler, more ironic and more stupid. It wasn't a great conspiracy. It was a series of coincidental events. But the people don't want to believe. They want a soap opera, a spy drama, a James Bond movie." Among the plausible theories put forward by Sperisen were that the officers might have been tricked into thinking they were assassinating Colombian drug dealers masquerading as Salvadoran deputies; political enemies in El Salvador may have arranged for the deputies' murder; and the Salvadoran deputies may in fact have been linked to the drug trade.

Early in March 2007, a top police official, Javier Figueroa, abruptly resigned his position and fled Guatemala with his family, seeking asylum first in Costa Rica and then Venezuela. Figueroa, a former gynecologist, was involved in arresting the four officers and claimed to be in fear for his life. But the press openly speculated that he in fact was involved in ordering the killings. Figueroa and his family fled to Austria later in 2007 and were granted asylum. In May 2011, Austrian authorities arrested Figueroa and subsequently announced that he would be tried for murder in Austria. However, they rejected Guatemala's extradition request due to the assumption that Figueroa could not expect a fair trial in his home country.

On 26 March 2007, Erwin Sperisen, the chief of the National Police, and Carlos Vielmann, the Interior Minister, resigned as a consequence of the two sets of killings.

On 8 April 2008, Victor Rivera, a Venezuelan national, was shot and killed while driving in Guatemala City. Two days earlier he had been fired from his advisory position to the Ministry of the Interior, where he was investigating the deaths of the Salvadoran deputies. The murder of Rivera, in turn, was investigated by former Attorney General Álvaro Matus, who was himself accused of conducting a cover-up by prosecutors from the *Comisión Internacional Contra la Impunidad en Guatemala*. Matus surrendered to authorities on February 3, 2009, but the charges against him were immediately dropped by the Public Ministry and he was released.

In July 2008, 13 suspects accused in the killings of the four suspects were acquitted by a judge. On 14 July 2008, the state prosecutor who had accused the 13 men, Juan Carlos Martínez, was shot dead in Guatemala City.

## Motives

Suspects range from drug cartels who were linked to the three dead men to Guatemalan or Salvadoran security officials.

To his left and right, a large group of individuals are part of the Last Judgement dance. The kings, hierarchs, martyrs, holy women, and monks are present. Directly below Christ, an angel holds a sphere on his shoulders. Below the angel, a procession is gathered holding symbols of the passion sequence. The spear of destiny, the marble column of the flagellation of Jesus and the holy towel are part of the scene. Below the scene, a cross adorns the center of the image above a holy altar. Below the cross, on the holy altar the book of life is opened. An inscription reads: saved are the believers. To the left and right of the center are two angels playing horns.

To the left of the central circle under the musical angels, the earth is depicted flat. In the background, mountains are present. On land, the dead are rising. The dead are initially depicted as skeletons but eventually, they take human form. The four winds from Greek mythology are also present in the form of heads. Two are in the sky and another two are in the water. They are also known as the Anemoi.

In the lower-left portion of the painting, paradise is depicted. A similar scene exists in Franghias Kavertzas's *Last Judgment*. Jesus takes on the form of high-priest welcoming the righteous to the gates of paradise. Christ is with three angels receiving Saint Peter. Inside the castle-like structure, the Virgin Mary is surrounded by overgrown shrubs and low trees. She is also surrounded by six guardian angels. To her left, she is worshiped by Abraham and the penitent thief. The other gates are guarded by armed angels. On the wall of the castle, the artist signed and dated the work.

At the entrance of Hell the Archangel Michael feeds the unworthy into a lave-like substance. Another angel holds back the unleashed demons preventing the dark creatures from entering the center of the image above the lava. The lave leads to a huge mouth that represents the gateway of hell. Demons surround the lower right portion of the painting. Both Klontzas's *Last Judgment* and Kavertzas's *Last Judgment* also depict similar dark creatures. The demons are carrying the unworthy on their backs.

# Grevillea fuscolutea

***Grevillea fuscolutea*** is a species of flowering plant in the family Proteaceae and is endemic to a small area in the south-west of Western Australia. It is an erect shrub with egg-shaped to more or less linear leaves, and dull yellow-orange flowers.

## Description

*Grevillea fuscolutea* is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.5–2.5 m (1 ft 8 in – 8 ft 2 in), its new growth covered with rust-coloured hairs. The leaves are egg-shaped with the narrower end towards the base, to more or less linear, 15–80 mm (0.59–3.15 in) long and 5–12 mm (0.20–0.47 in) wide. The edges of the leaves are turned down or rolled under, the lower surface densely covered with shaggy hairs, and there is a small black point on the tip. The flowers are borne in groups of four to ten on a rachis 1–3 mm (0.039–0.118 in) long and are dull yellow-orange, the pistil 6–8 mm (0.24–0.31 in) long. Flowering occurs from April to November and the fruit is a ribbed, narrowly oval follicle about 17 mm (0.67 in) long. Regeneration is from seed. The species is closely related to *Grevillea fistulosa* but differs in having a ring of hair in the perianth, and yellow instead of red flowers.

## Taxonomy

*Grevillea fuscolutea* was first collected by William Webb in 1879 and then again 100 years later by a Forestry Department survey group. It was collected from the same locale several times over the following years. Long recognised as being part of the *Grevillea drummondii* complex, it was first formally described in 1992 by Gregory John Keighery in the journal *Nuytsia* from material he collected in 1989. The specific epithet (*fuscolutea*) means "brownish yellow".

## Distribution and habit

*Grevillea fuscolutea* is found amongst low trees in rocky or stoney soils as well as on sand and loam over granite. It is restricted to upper slopes of Mount Lindesay, to the north east of Denmark in the heathland and around granite outcrops.

## Conservation status

This species is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. It is only known from one location where it has an estimated area of occupancy of less than 10km². It is currently threatened by increased fire regimes and drought due to climate change, as well as dieback disease from the plant pathogen *Phytophtora cinnamoni,* which it is susceptible to. It is predicted that it could lose at least 80% of its population within the next 75 years or 3 generational lengths for the species due to the effects of dieback disease.

It is also classified as "vulnerable" by the Western Australian Government Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions.

# Toms River High School East

**Toms River High School East** is a comprehensive four-year public high school, the third high school built in Toms River in Ocean County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey, serving students in ninth through twelfth grades as part of the Toms River Regional Schools.

As of the 2022–23 school year, the school had an enrollment of 1,520 students and 107.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 14.1:1. There were 267 students (17.6% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and 84 (5.5% of students) eligible for reduced-cost lunch.

The school won several awards for its heating system, which utilizes heat generating lighting fixtures. Its school colors are black, gray and Columbia blue (blue was not an original color when HSE started). The school mascot is the Raider. The school day lasts six hours and 20 minutes. The Toms River high school day ends at 1:35 PM, one of the earliest daily closing time of any high schools in New Jersey.

## History

By 1974, the district was facing split sessions for students, as the district's first and second high schools, Toms River High School South and Toms River High School North, had a total of 4,600 students, nearly 50% above capacity. To address the overcrowding, a March 1975 bond referendum was proposed to raise $15 million—the largest ever in county history—for construction of a third high school, which was rejected by a margin of nearly 1,000 votes. Construction was finally approved in a May 1977 referendum authorizing a $10.9 million bond issue to construct the school.

The school opened in September 1979 on a 79-acre (32 ha) site in a building constructed at a cost $10.9 million (equivalent to $45.8 million in 2023). Opened at a time of rising energy prices, the building was designed so that each classroom had only two windows as a means to reduce heat loss through the glass.

## Awards, recognition and rankings

The school was the 171st-ranked public high school in New Jersey out of 339 schools statewide in *New Jersey Monthly* magazine's September 2014 cover story on the state's "Top Public High Schools", using a new ranking methodology. The school had been ranked 225th in the state of 328 schools in 2012, after being ranked 239th in 2010 out of 322 schools listed. The magazine ranked the school 204th in 2008 out of 316 schools. The school was ranked 205th in the magazine's September 2006 issue, which surveyed 316 schools across the state. In 2017, the school became the seventh school in the state to be selected by Character.org as a National School of Character.

## Athletics

The Toms River High School East Raiders compete in Division A South of the Shore Conference, an athletic conference comprised of public and private high schools in Monmouth and Ocean counties along the Jersey Shore. The league operates under the jurisdiction of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association (NJSIAA). With 1,036 students in grades 10–12, the school was classified by the NJSIAA for the 2019–20 school year as Group III for most athletic competition purposes, which included schools with an enrollment of 761 to 1,058 students in that grade range. The school was classified by the NJSIAA as Group IV South for football for 2024–2026, which included schools with 890 to 1,298 students.

The school participates as the host school / lead agency in a joint ice hockey team with Toms River High School South. The co-op program operates under agreements scheduled to expire at the end of the 2023–24 school year.

The boys' soccer team won the 1985 South Jersey Group IV state sectional championship against Jackson Memorial High School and went on to win the Group IV state title with a 3–1 win against Westfield High School in the championship game to finish the season with a 19-5-1 record.

The girls' cross country team won the Group IV state championship in 1988 and 1996.

The girls' track team won the Group IV state indoor relay championship in 1990.

The 1997 ice hockey team won the Handchen Cup with a 5–4 win against River Dell High School.

The girls' bowling team won the overall state championship in 1997 and won the Group IV title in 2009. The 2009 team won the Group IV title with 2,829 pins, the highest score in the competition, and entered the Tournament of Champions as the top seed, before losing in the semifinals to forth-ranked Keyport High School.

The 2001 baseball team finished the season with a record of 29-2 after winning the Group IV state championship, defeating North Bergen High School by a score of 4–3 in the tournament final.

The football team won the Shore Conference championships in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2008, and 2009. The school's major rivalry is with the Mariners of Toms River High School North. Every Thanksgiving weekend, the football teams play in the annual "Battle of Bay Avenue."

The softball team won the 2007 South Jersey Group IV state sectional championship with a 5–2 win over Absegami High School.

## *Lip Dub* videos

Toms River High School East was recognized across the state and even the country for their *Lip Dub 1* and *Lip Dub 2* videos. The lip dub videos feature East students lip-syncing and dancing through the halls and campus of the school. The videos were created and produced by the Toms River Regional Schools TV Network and television production class. The students spent roughly three months planning *Lip Dub 1*, planning camera movement and timing out cues for the students who were lip-syncing in the video. *Lip Dub 1* features about 150 students involved in many different sports, clubs and activities at East.

In that same school year, *Lip Dub 1* received so much recognition that it inspired students and faculty at East to request a second lip dub be filmed. *Lip Dub 2* involved over 400 students and faculty at East and was featured on News 12 New Jersey as well as WOBM.com, a local radio station.

## Administration

The school's principal is Erin Anders. Her core administration team includes three assistant principals.

# Tiamat (yacht)

***Tiamat*** is a 40-foot racing yacht that sails out of Dublin Bay, Ireland under the burgee of the Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club.

## Design

*Tiamat* was designed by Mark Mills for owner Tim Costello in 2004. She was designed to race competitively under the IRC rating system. Mark Mills has previously designed the DK46 (Yacht), the Mills 32 Aztec (Yacht) (now Raptor) & the Mills 36 Quokka (Yacht).

The hull, interior structure, and deck of *Tiamat* is built in foam cored Epoxy/E-glass, while the spinnaker pole and mast are carbon fibre. Mills has opted for a twin carbon wheel design rather than the standard single wheel as seen on most yachts of this size.

## Construction

Tiamat was constructed by \[Vision Yachts\] in Cowes, Isle of Wight. Vision Yachts have previously built *Wahoo* (Corby 41), *Gloves Off* (Corby 38) and many Kerr 11.3s.

Below decks has been designed by \[Design Unlimited\], the yacht interior design and styling house who are responsible for interiors of many modern super yachts. The boat is maintained by the team at Yacht Right Marine Services in Dublin.

## Notable Results

In May 2005 *Tiamat* won the Bell Lawrie Scottish Series, her first event following launching in May . *Tiamat* also won Class 1 Cowes Week.

In 2006, Tiamat teamed up with Andrew Allen and Colm Monahan's Belfast based J109 *No Naked Flames* and Eamonn Rohan's Corby 37, *Blondie III*, to form Ireland Team Green to compete in the Rolex Commodores' Cup. Team Green put in a very strong challenge but were beaten into second place by the French Blue Team in the final Offshore Race.

Only weeks before the Commodores' Cup, *Tiamat* won the 2006 Fortis IRC Championships with 7 race wins, claiming the RORC IRC Championship Trophy

In 2007, *Tiamat* won the French IRC Nationals in Deauville, France, winning all 8 races in Class 0. This was followed up by a second place at the Irish National Championships in Cork.

title: Tomita Tsunejirō

abstract: Tomita Tsunejirō, born Yamada Tsunejirō, was the earliest disciple of judo. His name appears in the first line of the enrollment book of the Kōdōkan. Tomita, together with Saigō Shirō, became the first in the history of judo to be awarded the rank of Shodan by the founder of judo, Kanō Jigorō, who established the ranking system that is now commonly used in various martial arts around the world. Tomita was known as one of the "Four Kings" of Kōdōkan judo for his victorious efforts in competing against jujitsu schools. He was awarded 7th dan upon his death on January 13, 1937.

# Tomita Tsunejirō

**Tomita Tsunejirō** (富田 常次郎, February 28, 1865  January 13, 1937), born **Yamada Tsunejirō** (山田 常次郎), was the earliest disciple of judo. His name appears in the first line of the enrollment book of the Kōdōkan. Tomita, together with Saigō Shirō, became the first in the history of judo to be awarded the rank of Shodan by the founder of judo, Kanō Jigorō, who established the ranking system that is now commonly used in various martial arts around the world. Tomita was known as one of the "Four Kings" of Kōdōkan judo for his victorious efforts in competing against jujitsu schools. He was awarded 7th dan upon his death on January 13, 1937.

## Early life

As the earliest student at the Kodokan, Tomita was known as Tsunejiro Yamada. He was adopted by a family named Tomita and his name was therefore changed. He entered the Kodokan in June 1882 as an *uchi deshi* or live-in student at the recommendation of Jigoro Kano's father. He became Kano's usual training partner. Although he was the least physically gifted of Kano's earlier students, he was dedicated and strong-willed.

Tomita had his first match on behalf of Kodokan in 1884, when Tomita was challenged by Hansuke Nakamura of Ryoi Shinto-ryu during a Tenjin Shinyo-ryu dojo opening in which they were both guests. A police instructor and a man of large size, Nakamura was nicknamed the "Demon Slayer" and considered the toughest man in Japan. As he was much heavier and more experienced than Tomita, Nakamura dared him to fight, believing himself to be superior. However, as soon as the match started, Tomita immediately scored a tomoe nage, and he repeated the technique two more times before his still shocked opponent managed to block it. Nakamura further blocked an ouchi gari and attempted to counterattack, but then Tomita performed a hiza guruma and locked a juji-jime on the ground, making Nakamura pass out. Tomita was hailed by the spectators and heralded as a hero due to his victory.

## Four Guardians of the Kōdōkan

When Kanō Jigorō began to develop judo from jujutsu, his efforts met with opposition from jujutsu practitioners. However, Kano drew a loyal following that included exceptional fighters. Hence the term "Four Guardians of the Kōdōkan" came into existence referring to Tsunejiro Tomita along with Yamashita Yoshitsugu, Yokoyama Sakujiro, and Saigō Shirō.

## Introducing judo to the West

### Arrival to the United States

Inspired by Yamashita Yoshitsugu's success in the United States (Yamashita taught judo to President Theodore Roosevelt, among others), the 39-year-old Tomita decided to move to New York City. Like Yamashita, Tomita brought a young assistant with him as an exhibition partner. The young man was Maeda Mitsuyo, 26-year-old judoka who later became fundamental to the development of Brazilian jiu-jitsu. Tomita, Maeda, and Soshihiro Satake arrived in New York City on December 8, 1904, just one year after Yamashita came to the States.

### Chronology of exhibitions

* **February 3, 1905**: Tomita and Maeda gave an exhibition at the Harlem branch of YMCA.
* **February 7, 1905**: Six hundred spectators in the Columbia University gymnasium watched an exhibition of judo and "two-handed sword fighting" (kendo) by six Japanese experts. According to New-York Daily Tribune, industrialist Edward Henry Harriman brought the experts to America after he became interested in "this type of fighting" on his trip to Asia. Tomita had Maeda rush up to him and take a vicious swing. Tomita would then grab Maeda by the arm or throat and swing him to the mat.
* **February 16, 1905**: Tomita and Maeda gave a demonstration "before 1000 Princeton students". Maeda threw N. B. Tooker, a Princeton football player, while Tomita threw Samuel Feagles, the Princeton gymnasium instructor.
* **February 21, 1905**: Tomita and Maeda gave a judo demonstration at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, where Tomita and Maeda performed *kata* (patterns)—nage-no, koshiki, ju-no, and so on. At the request of the crowd, Maeda wrestled a cadet and threw him easily. Because Tomita had been the thrower in the *kata*, the cadets wanted to wrestle him too. Tomita threw the first (Charles Daly) without any trouble. However, Tomita twice failed to throw another football player named Tipton using tomoe-nage (stomach throw). Tomita was much smaller, so the Japanese claimed a moral victory.
* **March 8, 1905**: Tomita and Maeda did better at the New York Athletic Club. "Their best throw was a sort of flying cartwheel," said an article in the *New York Times*, describing Maeda's match with heavyweight (200 pound) wrestler John Naething. "Because of the difference in methods the two men rolled about the mat like schoolboys in a rough-and-tumble fight. After fifteen minutes of wrestling, Maeda secured the first fall. Ultimately, however, Naething was awarded the match by pin fall."
* **March 21, 1905**: Tomita and Maeda gave another judo demonstration at Columbia University, this time to about 200 students and instructors in the gymnasium. Following introductions by Prof. Bashford Dean, the first part of the demonstration involved showing exercises to "obtain control of the muscles." Then Tomita showed some grips and holds slowly first, then with "lightning speed on his unfortunate assistant." Then Tomita and Maeda tried "a number of wrestling tricks" on the university's wrestling instructor, "who was almost chocked to the suffocating point by one of them." According to Columbia Spectator, "Another interesting feature was the exhibition of some of the obsolete jiu jitsu tricks for defense with a fan against an opponent armed with the curved Japanese sword."
* **April 5, 1905**: Tomita held an exhibition match at the gymnasium on Broadway for the benefit of the press. During the event, Tomita stated that an erroneous impression existed in the United States as to jiu-jitsu being a self-defense martial art:

> Jiu-jitsu is an almost extinct art, and a savage one that were better extinct. The real art of self-defense is ju-do. Jiu-jitsu was developed 350 years ago, at a time when there was tribal warfare in Japan. Then a man with a long sword and a man with no sword would meet in the streets. And out of their undying hatred for one another, tribally speaking, it became necessary for the man with no sword to learn a few tricks for dislocating the joints of his enemy, choking him, and rendering him unconscious, etcetera.

* **July 6, 1905**: Tomita and Maeda gave a judo exhibition at YMCA in Newport, Rhode Island.
* **September 30, 1905**: Tomita and Maeda gave a demonstration at another YMCA, in Lockport, New York. In Lockport, the local opponent was Mason Shimer, who wrestled Tomita unsuccessfully.

### Other notable events

In April 1905, Tomita and Maeda started a judo club in a commercial space at 1947 Broadway in New York. Members of this club included Japanese expatriates, plus a European American woman named Wilma Berger.

During his return to Japan in 1910, Tomita visited Seattle. To celebrate his visit, the local judo club known as Seattle Dojo held a judo tournament on October 27, 1910, that was attended by local reporters.

## Family

Tomita's son, Tomita Tsuneo (富田常雄), was a novelist, best known for his judo novels *Sanshiro Sugata* (1942) and *Yawara* (1964–65).

# Immunophysics

**Immunophysics** is a novel interdisciplinary research field using immunological, biological, physical and chemical approaches to elucidate and modify immune-mediated mechanisms and to expand our knowledge on the pathomechanisms of chronic immune-mediated diseases such as arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, asthma and chronic infections.

## Background

Immune reactions are tightly regulated and usually self-limited. Dysregulation can result in chronic inflammatory diseases (immunochronicity). In addition to biochemical molecular mechanisms, physical factors influence the immune system. Such components include:

* Microenvironmental factors like tonicity, pH, oxygen pressure and the redox status of immune cells
* Mechanical factors, such as tissue pressure, cellular stiffness and cell motility
* Cell membrane physics such as membrane composition and particles

The research field of immunophysics aims to investigate the influence of these physicochemical parameters on the function of the immune system in health and disease.

## Methods

Immunophysical techniques include nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), dual-energy computed tomography, fluorescence-lifetime imaging microscopy, multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT), high-throughput microfluidic cytometry, interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) and cryogenic optical localization in 3D (COLD).

## Applications

Immunophysical research is considered to open new perspectives for the investigation of the pathomechanisms of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, help to develop novel detection methods and diagnostic tools in these diseases and advance the treatment possibilities of such diseases.


title: Olympism

abstract: Olympism refers to the philosophy of the Olympic Games. The fundamental principles of Olympism are outlined in the Olympic Charter. Olympism is a philosophy that seeks to blend sport with culture, education, and international cooperation. It emphasizes the joy of effort, the educational value of good examples, social responsibility, and respect for universal ethical principles. The ultimate goal is to use sport as a means of promoting the development of humankind and preserving human dignity. The principles of Olympism include the idea that the ability to participate in sports is a basic human right. Olympism emphasizes that individuals should have equal access to sports without discrimination and that these activities should be done in a spirit of fairness and camaraderie. Non-discrimination is a fundamental aspect of Olympism. It holds that individuals should be able to participate in sports without facing discrimination based on factors such as race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and socioeconomic status. Individuals who follow or support Olympism may refer to their actions as "fostering personal development." Some individuals have expressed skepticism towards Olympism, stating that fully achieving its ideals may not be possible. They also point to examples where the games have failed to meet their stated goals.

## Olympism in action

Six activities are currently included within Olympism in Action. Activities include Development through Sport, Education through Sport, Peace through Sport, Sport and the Environment, Sport for All, and Women and Sport. These activities are endorsed by the Olympic Movement.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) supports **Development through Sport** by working with the United Nations (UN) and other governmental agencies to help people perceive, gain, and understand the world around them through athletics. For **Education through Sports**, the IOC created the Olympic Values Education Programme (OVEP) to teach its participants about the advantages of being physically active and playing sports. IOC President Thomas Bach has shown his support for **Peace through Sport** by stating "The Olympic athletes show the whole world that it is possible to compete with each other while living peacefully together. In this world of uncertainty that we are living in today, the Olympic Games are even more relevant than ever."

To support its idea for **Sport and the Environment**, the IOC is a principal support partner for the Sustainable Sport and Events (SSE) Toolkit created by great organizations. The toolkit focuses on how National Olympic Committees should go about choosing a city or cities to host, as well as construction for the venue, transportation, and accommodation for athletes and visitors. The IOC works towards **Sport for All** to offer access to sports to everyone, no matter their gender, race, or social class. **Women in Sport** is the IOC's way to continue to support and improve gender equality. They do this by creating “leadership development, advocacy and awareness campaigns” and putting more women in leadership roles in the committee.

However, some recent policy decisions of the IOC have been the source of some controversy. For example, during the 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis, the IOC EB recommended the non-participation of Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials, and urged International Sports Federations and organizers of sports events worldwide to do everything in their power to ensure that no athlete or sports official from Russia or Belarus be allowed to take part under the name of Russia or Belarus.

# In Cahoots

**In Cahoots** was a Canterbury scene band led by guitarist Phil Miller, their main composer.

## History

The band was formed in November 1982 by Miller with Pip Pyle (drums), Richard Sinclair (bass) and Elton Dean (saxophone), as the Phil Miller Quartet. It was expanded to a quintet and given its definitive name when Peter Lemer (keyboards) joined in early 1983. Miller and Pyle had been working together in National Health and had been in Hatfield and the North with Sinclair before that, while Pyle and Dean were longstanding collaborators too, recently having worked together in the Weightwatchers (with pianist Keith Tippett) and Soft Heap. Early in 1985, Hugh Hopper replaced Sinclair. The band appeared on Miller's first solo album, *Cutting Both Ways* (released 1987).

In 1987, Steve Franklin replaced Lemer, and in 1988 Fred Baker replaced Hopper. This line-up appeared on Miller's solo album *Split Seconds*, while *In Cahoots Live 86-89* was released in 1989 (released under the name Phil Miller/In Cahoots like all their albums). In 1990, Franklin left and the band was joined by Jim Dvorak on trumpet. Baker and Lemer appeared on Miller's *Digging In* (1991), which also had programmed drums by Pip Pyle.

In 1991, Miller and Pyle were reunited with Hopper in Short Wave. In Cahoots continued with a Japanese tour, including Lemer, documented on *Live in Japan* (1993). The next studio effort, *Recent Discoveries*, was recorded in 1993. Lemer rejoined the band in 1995 and they recorded *Parallel* (1996) and *Out of the Blue* (2001), which saw Caravan guitarist Doug Boyle sitting in on two tracks (he also took part in a brief European tour that year).

In 2002, Mark Fletcher replaced Pyle and the line-up of Miller, Fletcher, Dean, Dvorak, Baker and Lemer released *All That* in 2003. In 2004, Dean and Dvorak left and, since then, the brass section consists of Simon Picard on tenor sax, Simon Finch on trumpet, and occasionally Gail Brand on trombone. Former Short Wave collaborator Didier Malherbe, however, was the featured saxophonist on Miller's latest effort, 2006's *Conspiracy Theories*, which also included guest spots by Richard Sinclair, Dave Stewart and Doug Boyle.
