title: Victor Schumann

abstract: Victor Schumann was a physicist and spectroscopist who in 1893 discovered the vacuum ultraviolet. Schumann wished to study the "Extreme Ultraviolet" region. For this, he used a prism and lenses in fluorite instead of quartz allowing himself to be the first to measure spectra below 200 nm. Oxygen gas would absorb the radiation with a wavelength below 195 nm, but Schumann placed the entire apparatus under vacuum. He prepared his own photographic plates with a reduced layer of gelatin. He published on the Hydrogen line in the spectrum of Nova Aurigae and in the spectrum of vacuum tubes. His work opened the way to atomic emission spectroscopy, leading eventually to the discovery of the hydrogen spectral lines series by Theodore Lyman in 1914.

# Muftiship of Novi Sad

**Muftiship of Novi Sad** (Serbian: Новосадско муфтијство, *Novosadsko muftijstvo*) is one of the four muftiships of the Islamic Community in Serbia. Muftiship is including territory of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina and its seat is in Novi Sad. Administrator of the muftiship is mufti Fadil Murati.

## Organization and number of adherents

Muftiship is divided into four organizational divisions:

According to the 2002 census in Serbia, there were 8,073 Muslims in the territory of the muftiship.

Number of Muslims in districts of Vojvodina was as follows:

Muslims of Vojvodina are members of various ethnic groups, including ethnic Muslims, Bosniaks, Albanians, Gorani, Ashkali, Egyptians, Roma, etc. As 101,144 citizens of Vojvodina did not declare their religion in the 2002 census and that 42,876 of the citizens were listed as citizens whose religion is unknown, number of Muslims in Vojvodina is potentially higher than the number presented in the census. According to imam Fadil Murati, there are 50,000 Muslims in Vojvodina, of which 20,000 in Novi Sad.

Besides Muftiship of Novi Sad of the Islamic Community in Serbia, which includes most of the Muslims of Vojvodina, rival Islamic Community of Serbia is also nominally present in the region and it is organizationally divided into Medžlis of Bačka and Medžlis of Banat.

## History

Islam appeared in the territory of present-day Vojvodina in the 16th century, when this area became part of the Ottoman Empire. Syrmia was part of the Ottoman Empire since 1526 (including the period of vassal Syrmian duchy of Radoslav Čelnik that existed from 1527 to 1530), while Bačka and Banat were included into Ottoman Empire later, in 1541-1545 (Bačka) and in 1552-1556 (Banat). Ottoman leader who conquered Banat was Muslim Serb Mehmed paša Sokolović, whose army included 8,000 janissaries and 100,000 akindjias, of whom 20,000 were Serbs.

During the Ottoman administration in the Balkans and in the Pannonian Plain, many Serbs converted to Islam, which was a condition for advancement in the state service. Some Muslim Serbs were in high administrative positions, like bej Malković, who was the first Ottoman administrator of Bečkerek or Hasan paša Predojević, who was administrator of the Sanjak of Segedin in 1592.

During the Ottoman administration, villages in Vojvodina were populated by Serbs, while cities were populated by ethnically and religiously diverse population which included Muslims (Turks, Muslim Serbs, Arabs), Serbs, Romani, Greeks, Cincars, Jews, etc.

Some cities of Vojvodina were majority Serb, some majority Muslim, while some had mixed populations. All settlements had mosques, while important cities also had administrative buildings, baths, Muslim schools and other public buildings. Main street (čaršija) usually had main trading and manufacturing shops.

According to the records, following important cities of Vojvodina had sizable Muslim populations in Ottoman times:

* Mitrovica (modern Sremska Mitrovica) was an important Muslim city. According to 1572 data, its population included 598 Muslim and 18 Christian houses. City also had 17 mosques and did not have a Christian church.
* Bečkerek (modern Zrenjanin) was one of the most important cities in Banat. Because local Serbs from Bečkerek helped Ottoman conquest of Banat, Mehmed paša Sokolović turned this city into his endowment (vakuf) and its citizens were liberated from all military taxes. City was divided into two parts (mahalas) - one Muslim and another Serb.
* Sombor had 14 Muslim religious objects, of which 5 mosques and 9 mahala masjids.
* Varadin (modern Petrovaradin) had Muslim majority in Ottoman times. In Podgrađe (oldest part of modern town), there was about 200 houses and mosque of Sulejman-han, while two smaller mosques also existed: mosque of Hadži-Ibrahim and mosque of Husein. Besides two Muslim quarters (mahalas), there was also a Christian quarter with 35 Serb houses.
* Vršac was mainly populated by Muslims in Ottoman times.
* Titel was populated by Muslim and Serb population.

Ottoman Empire was divided into provinces (pashaluks or eyalets), which were divided into smaller units - sanjaks. In the territory of Banat there was a first-level Ottoman administrative unit, the Eyalet of Temeşvar, while Sanjak of Syrmia and Sanjak of Segedin existed in Syrmia and Bačka. Both sanjaks initially were part of the Eyalet of Budin, but Sanjak of Segedin was later included into the Eyalet of Egir.

After Habsburg conquest of Vojvodina (late 17th and early 18th century), almost entire Muslim population left from this area. Some of the Muslim refugees were later resettled in Bosnia and Herzegovina, mainly in its northern part and in the vicinity of river Bosnia, where they were known as "Unđurovci" ("refugees from Hungary"). Their larger settlements had "urijas" (rough municipal terrains), like in Vojvodina. Habsburgs also destroyed almost all traces of Islamic culture in Vojvodina and first mosque in Vojvodina after Habsburg conquest was built only in 2008 in Subotica, after almost three centuries.

Modern Muslim population of Vojvodina mostly descending from migrants who came to Vojvodina after World War II from Muslim areas of former Yugoslavia \- Macedonia, Kosovo, Sandžak and Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1991, Islamic Community of Vojvodina with seat in Novi Sad was formed. With the formation of the Islamic Community in Serbia (in 2007), Islamic Community of Vojvodina became its part and was officially named the Muftiship of Novi Sad.

In April, 2009, there was a clash of two groups of Muslim believers in front of the masjid of Islamic community in Adamovićevo Naselje in Novi Sad, when members of the rival Islamic Community of Serbia attempted to take over administrative offices of the Muftiship of Novi Sad and to replace imam Fadil Murati. Another clash between the two communities occurred in Beočin in March, 2011.

# Hristo Stambolski

**Hristo Tanev Stambolski** (1843  1932) was a Bulgarian physician, revolutionary, statesman, and an important figure of the Bulgarian National Revival. He was the first to translate medical terminology from Arabic to Turkish.

## Biography

Hristo (or Christo) Stambolski was born on August 8, 1843, in Kazanlak, Bulgaria, which was then a part of the Ottoman Empire. He was the first child of Stoencho Stambologlu, a teacher, and his wife, Dafina. On August 14, 1852, at the vigil of the Assumption of Mary, he was arrested because he helped the priest to use the new Semantron. At the request of influential Christians living in Kazanlak he was released. After this event he started thinking about a free Bulgaria.

He began his post-secondary education in Kazanlak and in 1858 transferred to the Imperial Medical School in Istanbul, which trained surgeons for the Ottoman army. It was during this time that his interest in infectious diseases began. While still a student he helped treat victims of the Istanbul cholera epidemic of 1865. In 1867 Istanbul saw an outbreak of typhus and for his work during this epidemic he was awarded the Turkish Medjidie-Medal.

He became well-known in Istanbul and knew many influential persons. He then used this as an opportunity to take a role in the struggle for an autonomous Bulgarian church. He was a member of the temporary counsel of the Bulgarian Exarchate and president of the Bulgarian chitalishte in Istanbul. He worked not only with the supporters of the church struggle, including Ilarion Makariopolski, but also with the revolutionaries Georgi Rakovski and Vassil Levski. In 1877 he was exiled to Yemen, where he described the disease Dracunculiasis (Guinea worm disease).

After the liberation of Bulgaria in 1878 he returned to Kazanlak and became a deputy in the parliament of East Rumelia. In 1881 he was minister of the postal services and road traffic. During Stefan Stambolov's rule he was placed under house arrest. Later he worked in the Aleksandrovska University Hospital and wrote the book *Old Bulgarian History*. In 1931 the last part of his autobiography was published. He died in 1932, aged 88.

# Grey-headed parakeet

The **grey-headed parakeet** (***Psittacula finschii**)* is closely related to the slaty-headed parakeet which together form a super-species. It is found in Southeast Asia from north-eastern India to Vietnam.

The binomial of this bird commemorates the German naturalist and explorer Otto Finsch.

## Description

Its face is grey/green, and the rest of its head is dull green with faint pale green band below cheeks to hindcrown and its wing are patch absent and has a long tail.

## Distribution & habitat

The grey headed parakeet has a wide range in Southeast Asia. It is found in most of Vietnam, the entire country of Laos, most of eastern Cambodia, northern Thailand, in most of Myanmar (except for Tanintharyi Region), in the Yunnan province of China, in far east Bangladesh (extremely rare), nearly all of Northeast India, and far southeast Bhutan. The global population size is not known, but this bird is reported to be uncommon in China, with varying statuses everywhere else. It is found in elevations of up to 2,700 meters in forests consisting of oak, teak, pine, and cedar trees. It also resides on deciduous forest hillsides, farmland with scattered trees. In Cambodia, it regularly occurs in areas with evergreen and semi-evergreen vegetation.

## Behaviour and ecology

The grey headed parakeet has a widely varied diet of different species of leaf buds, seeds, fruit, berries, and flowers. It is often seen in flocks or family parties, with larger groups reported. It is usually a resident bird, with some seasonal altitudinal movement in response to food availability. It often gathers in large flocks to roost at dusk. After their breeding season from January–March, females often lay a clutch of 4-5 eggs that are around 28.5 x 22.0mm.

## Threats

The grey-headed parakeet is often captured in the exotic bird trade and many are locally kept as pets. They tend to be popular in some small villages in southern China and surrounding areas. The constant trapping of birds is greatly affecting the wild population. Deforestation and logging of the bird's natural forest habitat is also making a negative impact on the parakeet's population. The country of Laos and its uninhabited forest hills seems to act as a safe haven for the species.

# Joe Fedele

**Joseph Fedele** (known as Joe Fedele, born C. 1962) is an entrepreneur who co-founded New York-based online specialty grocery FreshDirect in 1998 along with investment banker Jason Ackerman. Fedele served as CEO and co-chairman from 1998 to 2004.

Prior to FreshDirect, Fedele was CEO and president of Fairway Market on West 132nd Street in Manhattan from 1993 to 1998. He helped the conversion of the business from Fairway to Fairway ("Like No Other Market"). During that period, the company disintermediated its supply chain for perishable and specialty products and introduced just-in-time inventory stocking.

## Early life

Fedele was born in Brooklyn, New York and graduated from Hofstra University, acquiring a BBA in Accounting, Finance, Economics and Mathematics in 1980.

## Career

### PFI

In 1982, he founded PFI, one of the largest protein and perishable trading companies in the US with customers such as Marubeni, Komatsu Gosho, Sumitomo, Price Club, Walmart, and others.

### By Choice

**By Choice** was a Harlem fresh market opened by Fedele and his partners in February 1991 it was converted to Fairway "Like No Other Market."

*The New York Times* wrote that "Fedele got his perfect partners when the owners of the Fairway Market at Broadway and 74th Street signed on as partners."

### Fairway market(s)

**Fairway Market** was founded in 1933. Fedele's involvement came when the founder's grandson Howard Glickberg's flagship store (Broadway/West 74th Street) helped restart the failed *By Choice*.

In 1991 Fedele had helped found the "Business Process" that later converted Fairway from its small format original single store on 74th and Broadway to the new Fairway ("Like No Other Market"). This independent store in Harlem was attracting more than 20,000 customers a week within two months of opening. A combination of variety, quality, and low prices in a marketplace atmosphere, attracted shoppers from all over the New York City area, from the Upper Manhattan to the then-inner-city neighborhood where it was located. Fairway achieved high quality products at low prices by cutting out all middle distributors. The store bought from "the guy who takes it from the land, takes it from the sea, puts it in a can or slaughters it. This way, it's four to five days fresher and 30% cheaper," said Fedele. Fedele, who calls himself a food technologist, believes that direct buying ensures quality. Perishables that go through layers of distribution experience temperature fluctuations and inevitably suffer from adulteration. Quality is also reinforced through selectivity. "Our expertise is to pick the best quality grades in meat, fish and produce," he said.

### FreshDirect

In 1998, Fedele launched **FreshDirect**. He initially raised $120 million and leveraged a no-store concept to develop a better plan: start by dealing directly with farmers, fishermen, and slaughterhouses and build a single super-efficient manufacturing and distribution facility to hold down costs. That kept gross margins high enough to cover the added costs of reliable delivery, offered in densely packed neighborhoods. Kenneth Boyer, an associate professor at Michigan State University's business school who studies online grocers, says a visit to the company "really blew me away."

## Controversies

### Harlem Fairway Certificate of Occupancy

At the reopened/retitled Fairway facility in Harlem, as of early 1996 they lacked a Certificate of Occupancy. Co-owner Dave Sneldon claimed to have "a temporary certificate of occupancy to operate a wholesale business." Fedele said "we don't charge retail prices."

### Fairway/FreshDirect: Fedele's role(s)

After selling his interest in Fairway (to Glickberg and his partners) to start FreshDirect in 1998, Fedele became embroiled in a series of disputes with Fairway's owners, who accused him of over-representing his role in the creation of Fairway's Harlem branch. In response, Fedele says that his description of himself as the branch's "co-founder" is an understatement. He was quoted saying, in response to Glickberg, "my former partners at Fairway did business in the traditional retail way for 30 years before we became partners, having multiple distributors between them and the products that they sold. I guess after I became their partner they had this epiphany of totally disintermediating of supply chain which resulted in the "highest value proposition possible to the consumer. Getting them better, fresher food at 30 percent savings and giving us a sustainable, competitive and differentiated advantage."

Fairway began hanging signs in its aisles attacking Fedele's credibility and the quality of FreshDirect's produce. *New York Magazine* wrote (May 17, 2004):

> The FreshDirect posters blaring that the company was BROUGHT TO YOU BY A CO-FOUNDER OF FAIRWAY UPTOWN and featuring a photo of Fedele made \[Fairway owner Howie\] Glickberg furious. He posted signs inside the West 74th Street store reading FAIRWAY IS IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH FRESHDIRECT. FreshDirect jabbed back by sending staffers dressed as giant fruits and vegetables to pass out fliers in front of Fairway. Then the FreshDirect website added a lengthy description of Fedele's role in the uptown Fairway, headlined: HEY FAIRWAY, WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF? Fairway threatened to sue.

Fairway never sued, but the accusatory-claims and counter-claims continued.

## Awards

* Fedele and FreshDirect co-founder Ackerman won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award for 2003 for the Metropolitan New York Area, and Fedele was nominated for the national Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award in 2003, eventually won by John Mackey.
* Fedele and his partners at *Fairway Market* won the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award in New York City in 1996.

# Tomas Šernas

**Tomas Šernas** (born 28 April 1962 in Vilnius) is a former Lithuanian customs officer and the only survivor of the Medininkai Massacre on 31 July 1991. He survived the point-blank shot to his head, but became disabled. After extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation, Šernas graduated from theological studies at Klaipėda University and joined the Reformed churches as a parson of the Vilnius parish. In 2010, he was elected for a three-year term as the General Superintendent of the Evangelical Reformed Church of Lithuania.

## Biography

Born to a family of music teachers, Šernas studied veterinary in Buivydiškės. After graduation in 1983, he was drafted to the Soviet army and served two years in aviation security in Caucasus. After the army he enrolled into the Lithuanian Veterinary Academy and worked at Kaunas Zoo.

In 1990, he volunteered for pro-independence Sąjūdis and joined newly established State Border Guard Service. After Lithuania declared independence from the Soviet Union in March 1990, newly built border posts became a symbol of independence. These posts were targeted by Soviet OMON forces – custom officers and policemen were harassed or beaten, cars were stolen or bombed, the posts were burned down or wrecked. On 31 July 1991 OMON troops from Riga executed seven officers in Medininkai checkpoint on the Lithuanian–Belarusian border. Severely injured Šernas was the only survivor. He suffered brain damage and became disabled. After several years of intense therapy, he regained speech and body movement, even though he still uses a wheelchair.

In 1997, he enrolled into Klaipėda University and received a bachelor's degree in evangelical theology. He continued the religious studies at Vilnius University, earning a master's degree in 2002. On 30 June 2002 he was ordained as a priest in Vilnius and headed the Vilnius parish. Several times he was elected as vice-superintendent of the Evangelical Reformed Church of Lithuania. In June 2010 he was elected as General Superintendent for a three-year term.

# Tomorrow Another Day

***Tomorrow Another Day*** is the third studio album by singer/songwriter Debra Arlyn. It was released independently by Homeslice Records in the United States on March 27, 2008.

## Background

Arlyn had recorded and released her second studio album *Complicated Mess* in 2006 with the purpose of trying to secure a record deal, but when that fell through she returned home to Oregon and began working on her next album while continuing to tour to support herself. During touring, she'd practice and write material that would ultimately end up on *Tomorrow Another Day*. Arlyn also made more of an effort to do co-writing sessions after the self-penned *Complicated Mess*, writing three songs with different co-writers, including Dapo Torimiro, Ben Margulies and Steve Sundholm. Arlyn sought out a new producer after exhausting herself self-producing her last album and met Rob Stroup, who became the lead producer for the album. Recording was handled at Stroup's 8Ball Studios in Portland, Oregon.

In the period after releasing *Complicated Mess* in 2006, Arlyn met her future husband and the two were married around their two-year anniversary, a few weeks after the release of *Tomorrow Another Day* in March 2008. After the wedding, Arlyn would continue to tour constantly and working on new material for an EP release in 2009.

## Songs and themes

The songs on the album largely revolve around love, relationships and romantic themes. Most songs were written based on experiences Arlyn had with former boyfriends, her husband and fictional relationships. Songs are based around piano composition, which is Arlyn's primary instrument.

# Mendelssohn Foundation

The **Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Foundation** is a not-for-profit independent foundation governed according to civil law. It is based in the Mendelssohn House (where the composer lived in the 1840s) in Leipzig.

## Foundation

Originally set up in 2003 as a fiduciary foundation, the Mendelssohn Foundation's legal status was changed in 2012 by the Leipzig city authorities, here operating in partnership with the already registered "Mendelssohn House International Mendelssohn Foundation" (*"Mendelssohn-Haus Internationale Mendelssohn Stiftung"*). This was when the **Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Foundation** became a not-for-profit independent foundation, governed according to civil law. The constitution of the restructured foundation was drawn up on 28 November 2011, and the city's financial and legal participation was agreed at a council meeting on 18 July 2012. The Mendelssohn House and the Mendelssohn Museum, together with the museum site at Goldschmidtstraße 12, were brought into the foundation. Acceptance of the new arrangements by the German Foundations Supervisory authority followed on 28 August 2012.

## Objectives

According to its constitution, The foundation objectives are focused, in particular, on international research and nurture concerning the artistic and societal inheritance bequeathed by the composer and director of the Gewandhaus Orchestra (*"Gewandhauskapellmeister"*), Felix Mendelssohn (1809–1847).

In addition, the foundation is required to encourage musical training and education in a manner consistent with the priorities of the composer who founded in Leipzig Germany's first music conservatory, which today bears his name as the University of Music and Theatre "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" Leipzig.

The foundation is also to administer and operate the Mendelssohn Museum in the Mendelssohn House and the carriage house belonging to it.

## Activities

* The foundation supports the Mendelssohn Complete Output project of the Saxonian Academy of Sciences and Humanities
* The foundation issues publications and organises concerts.
* The foundation awards the International Mendelssohn Prize in Leipzig.
* The foundation may award scholarships to artists of exceptional talent.
* The foundation has rescued and taken responsibility for running the Mendelssohn House acquired in 1993 by a predecessor organisation.

# Tomichia cawstoni

***Tomichia cawstoni*** is a species of very small freshwater snails which have a gill and an operculum, gastropod molluscs or micromolluscs in the family Tomichiidae.

## Distribution

This species is endemic to South Africa. The type locality is Kokstad, KwaZulu-Natal, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa.

## Description

The width of the shell is 2.5 mm.; the height of the shell is 4.6 mm. Spire short, and flat sided. Whorls weakly convex.

## Ecology

The natural habitat for this species is rivers in riverine forests, predominantly of freshwater in contrast to other species which inhabit ephemeral streams and rivers.

## Threats

Species of the genus *Tomichia* are particularly susceptible to changes in their ecosystem, and thus species such as *Tomichia cawstoni* are greatly threatened by pollution and climatic changes (especially in the form of changes in rain cycles). In Kokstad, it is threatened by pollution and trampling from commercial cattle farming operations. All suitable locations for this species' inhabitance have since been found destroyed, restricting the species to the type locality.

# Tomi Maanoja

**Tomi Antero Maanoja** (born 12 September 1986) is a Finnish football coach and a former professional goalkeeper. Maanoja has been capped twice for Finland.

## Career

Maanoja made his first appearance in the Veikkausliiga with AC Allianssi from Vantaa in 2005. He completed a move to the neighbouring city's (Espoo) most notable football club, FC Honka, the following season. Maanoja was regarded as one of the best Finnish young goalkeepers and attracted interest from several foreign clubs before his move to AIK on 29 July 2008. He signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with the club for a fee of €450,000.

On 28 February 2009, Maanoja became seriously injured in a pre-season game against Assyriska Föreningen. He broke his leg in two places, rushing out to stop an Assyriska attack. The injury made him miss the 2009 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship, hosted in Sweden, in the summer. He also missed the whole 2009 Allsvenskan season, when AIK won the double. He moved back to Honka in 2011, and on 21 February 2012 he signed a contract with the Norwegian First Division club Sandefjord Fotball as a free agent. Sandefjord's head coach Arne Sandstø let Maanoja play the match against Alta in May 2012 instead of Iven Austbø, but Maanoja spent the rest of the season as the reserve goalkeeper. After one season in Norway, he moved back to Finland and signed for RoPS.

During the season spent with Rovaniemen Palloseura (RoPS), he was selected the Veikkausliiga Player of the Month in July 2013 after showing impressive form and going through the whole month without conceding a goal.

In 2014, He moved to Kuopion Palloseura (KuPS), signing a two-year contract. During the 2014 season Maanoja made a new club record by keeping 13 clean sheets in the league while featuring in all of the competitive matches playing every minute during that season.

In 2020, he joined IF Gnistan.

## Coaching career

Maanoja has worked as a goalkeeping coach of PK-35 and HIFK. Since February 2024, he was the assistant coach of KäPa in Ykkösliiga until the end of July.

title: Palos Forest Preserves

abstract: The Palos Forest Preserves are 15,000 acres of forest preserves in the Forest Preserve District of Cook County, located principally in Palos Township, Illinois. During the 1930s, the area of the Palos Preserves south of Archer was known as the Argonne Forest. This commemorated the battleground of the Meuse–Argonne offensive where over one million Americans fought during World War I. During World War II, Argonne Forest land leased to the Army Corps of Engineers became Site A, a research facility where experimental nuclear reactors built for the Manhattan Project helped in the development of the first nuclear weapons. The Argonne Forest area is known to geologists as Mount Forest Island, an area which, during the Last Glacial Period, formed a triangular island 6 miles (9.7 km) long and 4 miles (6.4 km) wide, rising 80 to 120 feet above the waters of the surrounding ice-age Lake Chicago. The Palos Preserves feature the Palos Trail System, the forest district's largest multi-trail system. The system comprises some 40 miles of unpaved trails, connected to each other by many intersections. The longest trail, "Yellow Unpaved" is 9.2 miles long, while "Brown Unpaved" is the shortest, at 1.1 miles. Trails are made for hiking, bicycle riding, horseback riding, and, in the winter, even skiing. There are sixteen entrances to the system which, along with the preserves as a whole, are open from dawn to dusk each day. The 6,600-acre Mount Forest Island area was, in 2021, designated an Urban Night Sky Place by the International Dark-Sky Association. It is the largest such Urban Night Sky Place designation in the world. Communities adjoining the preserves are Palos Hills, Palos Park, Hickory Hills, and Willow Springs.
