The **NCR/32 VLSI Processor family** was a 32-bit microprocessor architecture and chipset developed by NCR Corporation in the early 1980s. Generally used in minicomputer systems, it was noteworthy for being externally microprogrammable.

## History

NCR announced the release of its NCR/32 architecture, comprising an initial four-chip set, in the third quarter of 1982. The Central Processor Chip included an external microcode bus that let a designer create custom instructions for specific applications.

This feature was used to develop microcode that allowed the NCR/32 to emulate NCR's earlier mainframe computers, or an IBM System/370.

The design also enabled high-level languages, such as Prolog and polyFORTH, to be executed directly from custom instructions in the external microcontrol store.

Both the NCR/32 processor and some products that used it have been called reduced instruction set computer (RISC) systems, although the description has been debated; the original Berkeley RISC and Stanford MIPS research programs did not complete until 1984, and avoiding the use of microcode was one of the key RISC design principles.

NCR used the processor architecture in certain models of their own computer systems, communications peripherals, and at least one board-level product.

Some of the designers of the NCR/32 left NCR for a new company, Celerity Computing, which used the NCR/32 in its own minicomputer designs, running a version of the University of California at Berkeley's Unix Release 4.2.

## Chipset

The chipset for the NCR/32 family includes the following devices:

* NCR/32-000 Central Processor Chip (CPC)
* NCR/32-010 Address Translation Chip (ATC)
* NCR/32-020 Extended Arithmetic Chip (EAC)
* NCR/32-500 System Interface Controller (SIC)
* NCR/32-580 System Interface Transmitter (SIT)
* NCR/32-590 System Interface Receiver (SIR)

## Features

The **NCR/32-000 CPC** was the cornerstone of the architecture; all of the other devices were optional. The CPC consists of 40,000 transistors, and was originally fabricated in a 3 micron NMOS process. The device supports two levels of microcode: vertical microcode, stored in an external 128K-byte Instruction Storage Unit (ISU), and horizontal microcode, stored in an internal Read-only memory (ROM) encoding 179 operations in a set of 95-bit wide words. The CPC accesses the ISU over a 16-bit wide Instruction Storage Unit Bus (ISUBUS), feeding a 3-stage microinstruction pipeline. Internally, the CPC has a 32-bit wide Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU), and 16 32-bit general purpose registers. The processor can address up to 4 GB of direct virtual memory, and 16 MB of direct real memory over a 32-bit wide Processor Memory Bus (PMBUS). The base clock frequency of the CPC is 13.3 MHz. With its two-phase, non-overlapping clock, each machine cycle takes two "ticks", yielding a cycle time of 150 nanoseconds (nS). 90% of the CPC's microinstructions complete in a single cycle.

A revised version of the CPC was released later, with device geometry reduced from 3 to 2 microns Cycle time on higher-performance NCR 10000 systems was down to 110 nS.

The **NCR/32-010 ATC** provides advanced memory management services such as address translation, access protection, memory-refresh control, and error-checking and correction (ECC). It contains sixteen translation registers which handle mapping of 32-bit or 24-bit virtual addresses into 24-bit physical addresses, with page sizes of 1K, 2K, or 4K bytes.

The **NCR/32-020 EAC** accelerates the execution of arithmetic operations, performing IBM-compatible single- and double-precision binary and floating-point arithmetic, packed and unpacked decimal storage, and format conversions.

The **NCR/32-500 SIC** interfaces the PMBUS to slower peripherals and other systems. The **NCR/32-580 SIT** and **NCR/32-590 SIR** perform data format conversions. The SIC/SIT/SIR combination can operate in one of two modes: Data Link Control or Local Area Network.

# Millie O'Connell

**Emilia "Millie" Rose O'Connell** (born 18 January 1997) is an English musical theatre actress and singer. She is best known for portraying Anne Boleyn in the original UK tour and West End production of the musical *Six*. She is part of pop girl group SVN. She has received Laurence Olivier and WhatsOnStage Award nominations.

## Early life

O'Connell is from Shanklin, Isle of Wight, England. She is of Maltese, Irish, and Italian descent. From the age of three, O'Connell took classes at the Gillian Cartwright School of Dance. She attended Christ the King College. After completing her GCSEs at 16, she won a scholarship to train at Laine Theatre Arts in Epsom, graduating in 2015, aged 18.

## Career

O'Connell made her professional stage debut in the international revival of the show *42nd Street* in 2016, in Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris, forming part of the ensemble whilst understudying Peggy Sawyer. In 2017, she moved back to the UK, performing in the same show in Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, forming part of the ensemble whilst understudying Anytime Annie. In 2018 she joined the UK tour cast of *Thoroughly Modern Millie*, understudying Millie Dillmount.

Her rise to fame stemmed from her role of Anne Boleyn in the original UK tour cast of *Six* in 2018. The show's success gave it a permanent home in the West End's Arts Theatre, where she starred in the show until October 2019. Prior to leaving the show, Millie had played the most shows out of every actress in the original West End cast.

Late 2019 brought O'Connell the role of Velcro in *Soho Cinders* at Charing Cross Theatre. In 2020 she starred in *Be More Chill* as Chloe Valentine in The Other Palace. She left the show two weeks before its original closing date to rehearse for *Hair* at the Turbine Theatre, where she portrayed the role of Jeanie. Following this, Millie landed 'her dream role' of Maureen Johnson in *Rent*. She starred in this revival alongside *Six* cast alumna Maiya Quansah-Breed, portraying the leading role of Mimi Marquez and Jocasta Almgill, as her partner Joanne. Due to COVID-19, the show only had five live performances before shutting due to government guidelines. In response to this, the team livestreamed a recorded version of the show during lockdown. They returned to the show in 2021, Millie returning to the role.

In 2021, Millie returned to the role of Chloe Valentine in *Be More Chill,* showing at the Shaftesbury Theatre, and then returned to the role of Jeanie in *Hair*, showing in the London Palladium.

In April 2022, it was announced that *The Cher Show* would be touring the UK. Millie took on the role of Babe (Cher) on the year long tour. The show launched at the Curve Theatre in Leicester. The creative team included director Arlene Phillips, choreographer Oti Mabuse and costume designer Gabriella Slade.

August 2022 brought the original cast of *Six* together to film a proshot, and Millie, reunited with her castmates, were granted the opportunity to reprise their roles once more at Hampton Court Palace in July.

### SVN

Millie also forms a part of the pop girl group SVN (pronounced 'seven') alongside six former West End cast members of *Six*: Jarnéia Richard-Noel, Natalie May Paris, Alexia McIntosh (Lexi), Aimie Atkinson and Maiya Quansah-Breed, and Grace Mouat (former swing and dance captain of the original cast of *Six*. After a limited series of concerts in October 2020, their debut concert was rescheduled from February 2022 to 7 August 2022 at the O2 Academy Islington, with the group releasing singles such as *Stars* (2021) and *Woman*, *Free*, *Boss* and *At Christmas* (2022).

# Millie Peacock

**Millie Gertrude Peacock, Lady Peacock** (née **Holden**; 3 August 1870 – 7 February 1948), was the first woman elected to the Parliament of Victoria. She was the wife of Sir Alexander Peacock, a three-time Premier of Victoria. Upon his death in 1933, Lady Peacock won the by-election to replace him in parliament. She served only a single term, retiring at the 1935 state election.

## Early life

Millie Gertrude Holden was the second of two daughters born in East Framlingham, Victoria, to Marianne (née Arnold) and John Bryson Holden.

Her parents were born in Ireland. Her father, originally from County Antrim, had arrived in Victoria in 1855, and became a successful land agent and auctioneer in Port Fairy. Her mother died when she was a few months old, and her father remarried Millie's maternal aunt Jane Ellen Arnold. Millie was given eight half-brothers and half-sisters from this union, and Jane was referred to as her mother throughout her life.

Holden attended Methodist Ladies' College, Melbourne. She was first introduced to politician Alexander Peacock in 1899, when her family hosted members of the Australian Natives' Association during a conference. They married on 1 January 1901, when she was 30 and he was 38. After her husband's knighthood the following year she was known as "Lady Peacock".

Lady Peacock was the President of the Creswick Red Cross from 1914–1918, and a member of the Ladies Benevolent Society, Children's Welfare Association, and Royal Victorian Institute for the Blind Auxiliary.

The Peacocks did not have any children. They appear to have stayed close to Millie's family, especially Millie's only full sibling Agnes (Nellie) and her husband, solicitor Charles Jonas Horsfall. When Sir Alexander Peacock died on 7 October 1933, Charles was named an executor of his will.

## Parliament

Following Sir Alexander Peacock's death in 1933, Robert Menzies encouraged Lady Peacock to stand in the by-election for her husband's seat of Allandale. She did so reluctantly and, because she was mourning her husband's death, made no speeches. She was elected and sworn in as the first woman member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly on 21 November 1933.

Lady Peacock only gave one speech in parliament, on the third reading of the Factories Act Bill. She spoke on her husband's role in forming the bill.

She retired from politics at the end of her term in 1935, saying that representing a country electorate in parliament was no place for a woman. She stated that her constituents were unwilling to discuss their concerns with a woman. Nonetheless she felt that she had "broken the ice" for women to enter the Victorian parliament.

## Death

Lady Peacock continued her community work at Creswick. She died in 1948, and is buried next to her husband.

# We – Voice from the People

The **We – Voice from the People** (Serbian: Ми — Глас из народа, *Mi — Glas iz naroda*, abbrev. **MI–GIN**) is a populist political organisation in Serbia. Until the 2024 split, the main representative of MI–GIN was Branimir Nestorović, a prominent pulmonologist and conspiracy theorist. MI–GIN gained national representation in the National Assembly of Serbia and City Assembly of Belgrade following the 2023 Serbian parliamentary election and 2023 Belgrade City Assembly election.

## History

### Background and formation

In the 2022 Serbian parliamentary election, Branimir Nestorović supported the DveriPOKS list, which helped this list in attracting votes. After the election, Nestorović said that he was dissatisfied with the Dveri list, and that Serbia "deserves a national, non-partisan, honest and decent option. With people who will not trade mandates and votes after the election".

Nestorović announced the creation of the movement on 23 June 2023.

### 2023 election

The movement announced that it would participate in the 2023 Serbian parliamentary election on 27 October 2023. Prior to that, it was mainly centered around a YouTube channel. On 26 November 2023, the movement submitted 10 thousand signatures to the Republican Electoral Commission of Serbia, and on 27 November it was registered for the 2023 Serbian parliamentary election. Nestorović has said that the campaign had been done only with the help of social media, and that "appropriate space" for a campaign was not given to the movement. Reportedly, 12 000 euros were spent on the campaign.

Following the elections in Belgrade, Nestorović rejected the possibility of joining any coalition, either that of the SNS or SPN.

## Ideology and platform

During the 2023 campaign, Nestorović drew attention to Serbia's weak healthcare system and called for its improvement.

# Weak in the Presence of Beauty (album)

***Weak in the Presence of Beauty*** is the second and final studio album by English band Floy Joy, which was produced by Don Was and released by Virgin in 1986.

The album's title track was released as the lead single and reached No. 85 in the UK Singles Chart. "Friday Night in This Cold City" was also released as a single but did not chart.

## Background

In 1985, Floy Joy underwent member changes with the departure of founding member Shaun Ward and singer Carroll Thompson. The band's percussionist and backing vocalist, Desy Campbell, became the lead vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Rob Clarke joined the group.

Speaking of the album, Michael Ward told *Music Week* in 1986, "The album is as abstract as the first one, but you've got to look a little below the surface, read the lyrics and listen to the album, then you'll get a complete picture."

On its release, Jim Reid of *Record Mirror* wrote, *Weak in the Presence of Beauty* is at times a beautifully wrapped record \[with\] careful crafted professionalism. But, in the main, this work is like so much antiseptic in the hands of a vocalist who is straining and clawing for the right touch. Desy Campbell is not a bad singer, it's just that those tasty Floy touches deserve something more than what amounts to an ersatz soul vocal." He added that the album "stands too much on one level" in comparison with the band's debut *Into the Hot*, which he considered "invigorating" with a "constantly interesting mix of images and moods".

Paul Massey of the *Aberdeen Evening Express* wrote, "The soul-tinged tracks beat the funk-based tunes hands down, but a real joy." He added the album was worth buying for the "brilliant" "Penny In My Pocket" which he described as "a sad late-night lament sung with extraordinary feeling". Mike Abrams of *The Ottawa Citizen* commented, "New vocalist Desy Campbell's vocals are more aggressive and muscular than his predecessor. \[His\] vocals have added a harder edge to the band's pop songs. The enthralling single, "Weak in the Presence of Beauty", the sax-driven "Friday Night" and the soulful "Penny in My Pocket" are three solid pop performances."

The fort is situated immediately under the Humen Bridge. There were 44 cannons there to defend against the British, 40 dark artillery and four open fort. It is 360 meters in length. Admission is free, with valid documents.

## History

Plans for Weiyuan Fort was drawn up in 1834 as part of efforts by the Qing government to fortify the defense of Humen strait in the Pearl River Delta. After the construction of four major forts along the straits, Lu Kun suggested that another fort be constructed in the style of a crossed platform (横档月台), which was Weiyuan Fort. At the same time, Yong'an Fort (永安炮台) was built on the western end of an island in the strait and Gonggu Fort (巩固炮台) was constructed on the opposite bank in the foothills of Luwan Mountain (芦湾山). Weiyuan Fort was captured in the 1841 Battle of the Bogue, 1847 Expedition to Canton, and 1856 Battle of the Bogue.

During Sun Yat-sen's Constitutional Protection Military Government of Guangzhou, Gong Zhenzhou served as the commander-in-chief of the Humen Fortress.

# Minimum-weight triangulation

In computational geometry and computer science, the **minimum-weight triangulation** problem is the problem of finding a triangulation of minimal total edge length. That is, an input polygon or the convex hull of an input point set must be subdivided into triangles that meet edge-to-edge and vertex-to-vertex, in such a way as to minimize the sum of the perimeters of the triangles. The problem is NP-hard for point set inputs, but may be approximated to any desired degree of accuracy. For polygon inputs, it may be solved exactly in polynomial time. The minimum weight triangulation has also sometimes been called the **optimal triangulation**.

## History

The problem of minimum weight triangulation of a point set was posed by Düppe & Gottschalk (1970), who suggested its application to the construction of triangulated irregular network models of land countours, and used a greedy heuristic to approximate it. Shamos & Hoey (1975) conjectured that the minimum weight triangulation always coincided with the Delaunay triangulation, but this was quickly disproved by Lloyd (1977), and indeed Kirkpatrick (1980) showed that the weights of the two triangulations can differ by a linear factor.

The minimum-weight triangulation problem became notorious when Garey & Johnson (1979) included it in a list of open problems in their book on NP-completeness, and many subsequent authors published partial results on it. Finally, Mulzer & Rote (2008) showed it to be NP-hard, and Remy & Steger (2009) showed that accurate approximations to it can be constructed efficiently.

## Complexity

The weight of a triangulation of a set of points in the Euclidean plane is defined as the sum of lengths of its edges. Its decision variant is the problem of deciding whether there exists a triangulation of weight less than a given weight; it was proven to be NP-hard by Mulzer & Rote (2008). Their proof is by reduction from PLANAR-1-IN-3-SAT, a special case of the Boolean satisfiability problem in which a 3-CNF whose graph is planar is accepted when it has a truth assignment that satisfies exactly one literal in each clause. The proof uses complex gadgets, and involves computer assistance to verify the correct behavior of these gadgets.

It is not known whether the minimum-weight triangulation decision problem is NP-complete, since this depends on the known open problem whether the sum of radicals may be computed in polynomial time. However, Mulzer and Rote remark that the problem is NP-complete if the edge weights are rounded to integer values.

Although NP-hard, the minimum weight triangulation may be constructed in subexponential time by a dynamic programming algorithm that considers all possible simple cycle separators of $O({\sqrt {n})}$ points within the triangulation, recursively finds the optimal triangulation on each side of the cycle, and chooses the cycle separator leading to the smallest total weight. The total time for this method is $2^{O({\sqrt {n}\log n)}}$.

## Approximation

Several authors have proven results relating the minimum weight triangulation to other triangulations in terms of the approximation ratio, the worst-case ratio of the total edge length of the alternative triangulation to the total length of the minimum weight triangulation. In this vein, it is known that the Delaunay triangulation has an approximation ratio of $\Theta (n)$, and that the greedy triangulation (the triangulation formed by adding edges in order from shortest to longest, at each step including an edge whenever it does not cross an earlier edge) has an approximation ratio of $\Theta ({\sqrt {n})}$. Nevertheless, for randomly distributed point sets, both the Delaunay and greedy triangulations are within a logarithmic factor of the minimum weight.

The hardness result of Mulzer and Rote also implies the NP-hardness of finding an approximate solution with relative approximation error at most O(1/n2). Thus, a fully polynomial approximation scheme for minimum weight triangulation is unlikely. However, a quasi-polynomial approximation scheme is possible: for any constant ε 0, a solution with approximation ratio 1 + ε can be found in quasi-polynomial time exp(O((log *n*)9).

## Heuristics

Because of the difficulty of finding the exact solutions of the minimum-weight triangulation, many authors have studied heuristics that may in some cases find the solution although they cannot be proven to work in all cases. In particular, much of this research has focused on the problem of finding sets of edges that are guaranteed to belong to the minimum-weight triangulation. If a subgraph of the minimum-weight triangulation found in this way turns out to be connected, then the remaining untriangulated space may be viewed as forming a simple polygon, and the entire triangulation may be found by using dynamic programming to find the optimal triangulation of this polygonal space. The same dynamic programming approach can also be extended to the case that the subgraph has a bounded number of connected components and the same approach of finding a connected graph and then applying dynamic programming to fill in the polygonal gaps surrounding the graph edges has also been used as part of heuristics for finding low-weight but not minimum-weight triangulations.

The graph formed by connecting two points whenever they are each other's nearest neighbors is necessarily a subgraph of the minimum-weight triangulation. However, this mutual nearest neighbor graph is a matching, and hence is never connected. A related line of research finds large subgraphs of the minimum-weight triangulation by using circle-based *β*-skeletons, the geometric graphs formed by including an edge between two points *u* and *v* whenever there does not exist a third point *w* forming an angle *uwv* greater than some parameter θ. It has been shown that, for sufficiently small values of θ, the graph formed in this way is a subgraph of the minimum-weight triangulation. However, the choice of θ needed to ensure this is smaller than the angle {{{1}}} for which the *β*-skeleton is always connected.

A more sophisticated technique called the LMT-skeleton was proposed by Dickerson & Montague (1996). It is formed by an iterative process, in which two sets of edges are maintained, a set of edges known to belong to the minimum-weight triangulation and a set of edges that are candidates to belong to it. Initially, the set of known edges is initialized to the convex hull of the input, and all remaining pairs of vertices form candidate edges. Then, in each iteration of the construction process, candidate edges are removed whenever there is no pair of triangles formed by the remaining edges forming a quadrilateral for which the candidate edge is the shortest diagonal, and candidate edges are moved to the set of known edges when there is no other candidate edge that crosses them. The LMT-skeleton is defined to be the set of known edges produced after this process stops making any more changes. It is guaranteed to be a subgraph of the minimum-weight triangulation, can be constructed efficiently, and in experiments on sets of up to 200 points it was frequently connected. However it has been shown that on the average for large point sets it has a linear number of connected components.

Other heuristics that have been applied to the minimum weight triangulation problem include genetic algorithms branch and bound, and ant colony optimization algorithms.

## Variations

A polygon triangulation of minimal weight may be constructed in cubic time using the dynamic programming approach, reported independently by Gilbert (1979) and Klincsek (1980). In this method, the vertices are numbered consecutively around the boundary of the polygon, and for each diagonal from vertex *i* to vertex *j* that lies within the polygon, the optimal triangulation is calculated by considering all possible triangles *ijk* within the polygon, adding the weights of the optimal triangulations below the diagonals *ik* and *jk*, and choosing the vertex *k* that leads to the minimum total weight. That is, if MWT(*i*,*j*) denotes the weight of the minimum-weight triangulation of the polygon below edge *ij*, then the overall algorithm performs the following steps:

* For each possible value of *i*, from *n*  1 down to 1, do:
    + For each possible value of *j*, from *i* + 1 to *n*, do:
        - If *ij* is an edge of the polygon, set MWT(*i*,*j*) = length(*ij*)
        - Else if *ij* is not an interior diagonal of the polygon, set MWT(*i*,*j*) = +∞
        - Else set MWT(*i*,*j*) = length(*ij*) + min*i* \< *k* \< *j* MWT(*i*,*k*) + MWT(*k,j*)

After this iteration completes, MWT(1,*n*) will store the total weight of the minimum weight triangulation. The triangulation itself may be obtained by recursively searching through this array, starting from MWT(1,*n*), at each step choosing the triangle *ijk* that leads to the minimum value for MWT(*i*,*j*) and recursively searching MWT(*i*,*k*) and MWT(*j*,*k*).

Similar dynamic programming methods may also be adapted to point set inputs where all but a constant number of points lie on the convex hull of the input, and to point sets that lie on a constant number of nested convex polygons or on a constant number of lines no two of which cross within the convex hull.

It is also possible to formulate a version of the point set or polygon triangulation problems in which one is allowed to add Steiner points, extra vertices, in order to reduce the total edge length of the resulting triangulations. In some cases, the resulting triangulation may be shorter than the minimum weight triangulation by as much as a linear factor. It is possible to approximate the minimum weight Steiner triangulation of a point set to within a constant factor of optimal, but the constant factor in the approximation is large.

Related problems that have also been studied include the construction of minimum-weight pseudotriangulations and the characterization of the graphs of minimum-weight triangulations.

# Wu Jing (Han dynasty)

**Wu Jing** (died 203) was a Chinese military general and politician who lived during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. He was a brother-in-law of the minor warlord Sun Jian, whose descendants became the royal family of the state of Eastern Wu in the Three Kingdoms period.

## Life

Wu Jing was from Wu County, Wu Commandery (around present-day Suzhou, Jiangsu) but he grew up in Qiantang County (錢唐縣; present-day Hangzhou, Zhejiang). He was orphaned at a young age so he lived with his elder sister, Lady Wu. After Lady Wu married the general Sun Jian, Wu Jing became a subordinate of his brother-in-law.

Wu Jing participated in some battles under Sun Jian's banner and was commissioned as a Cavalry Commandant (騎都尉) for his contributions. Sun Jian was killed in action at the Battle of Xiangyang in 191 against Liu Biao's forces. Sometime in the early 190s, Wu Jing was appointed by the warlord Yuan Shu as the Administrator (太守) of Danyang Commandery (丹楊郡; around present-day Xuancheng, Anhui), and was sent to attack and seize the commandery from its previous administrator, Zhou Xin. Wu Jing was at Qu'e County (曲阿縣; in present-day Danyang, Jiangsu) at the time and had not moved to Danyang yet. Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, brought along his family and followers, including Sun He (孫河) and Lü Fan, to join Wu Jing in Qu'e County. Wu Jing combined forces with his nephew to attack the bandits led by Zu Lang (祖郎) in Jing County and drove the bandits away.

Later, Wu Jing came under attack by the warlord Liu Yao, so he headed north to join Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu appointed him as General of the Household Who Inspects the Army (督軍中郎將) and ordered him and Sun Ce's cousin Sun Ben to lead an army to attack Liu Yao's generals Fan Neng (樊能) and Yu Mi (于糜) at Hengjiang (橫江). Wu Jing and Sun Ben also defeated Ze Rong and Xue Li (薛禮) at Moling (秣陵; present-day Nanjing, Jiangsu).

Starting in 194, Sun Ce borrowed troops from Yuan Shu and embarked on a series of conquests in the Jiangdong (or Wu) region. He attacked territories under the control of warlords such as Liu Yao, Yan Baihu and Wang Lang and conquered them. When Sun Ce was trapped in Niuzhu (牛渚), Wu Jing came to his nephew's rescue and captured all the enemies. Wu Jing participated in Sun Ce's campaign against Liu Yao in 195. When Liu Yao fled to Yuzhang Commandery (豫章郡; around present-day Nanchang, Jiangxi) after his defeat, Sun Ce sent Wu Jing and Sun Ben to Shouchun (壽春; present-day Shou County, Anhui) to report his victory to Yuan Shu. Concurrently, Yuan Shu was fighting with another warlord Liu Bei for control over Xu Province, so he appointed Wu Jing as the Administrator of Guangling Commandery (廣陵郡; in present-day Jiangsu).

Around late 196 or early 197, Yuan Shu revealed his intention to declare himself emperor – an act perceived as treason against the reigning Emperor Xian. Sun Ce wrote to Yuan Shu and attempted to dissuade him from doing so, but was ignored. When Yuan Shu later did proclaim himself emperor, Sun Ce broke ties with him to avoid any association with the pretender. Sun Ce then sent a messenger to inform Wu Jing, who immediately left Guangling and brought his men to Jiangdong to join his nephew. Sun Ce reassigned Wu Jing as the Administrator of Danyang. The Han central government subsequently sent Wang Pu (王誧), a Consultant (議郎), as an envoy to Jiangdong to appoint Wu Jing as General Who Spreads Martial Might (揚武將軍) and approve his governorship of Danyang.

Wu Jing died in office in 203 during the reign of Emperor Xian.

## Descendants

Wu Jing's son, Wu Fen (吳奮), was commissioned as a military officer, placed in command of some troops, and enfeoffed as the Marquis of Xin Village (新亭侯). In 219, when Sun Quan (Sun Ce's younger brother and successor) and his general Lü Meng attacked Jing Province, Wu Fen was appointed as the Commandant (都督) of Wu Commandery and was tasked with defending Sun Quan's home territories. Wu Fen was succeeded by his son, Wu An (吳安), after his death. In the 240s, a power struggle broke out between Sun Quan's sons Sun Ba and Sun He, both of whom were fighting for the succession to their father's throne. Wu An supported Sun Ba during the contention and died in the aftermath.

Wu Fen's younger brother, Wu Qi (吳祺), was made a Marquis of a Chief Village (都亭侯). Wu Qi was close friends with Zhang Wen and Gu Tan. Wu Qi's marquis title was inherited by his son, Wu Zuan (吳纂), after his death. Wu Zuan married Teng Yin's daughter. In 256, when Teng Yin was executed for plotting against the regent Sun Chen, Wu Zuan was implicated and lost his life as well.

# 1990–91 Stoke City F.C. season

The 1990–91 season was Stoke City's 84th season in the Football League and 2nd in the Third Division.

Stoke City entered the 1990–91 season in the Third Division for only the second time in their history and the feeling from the supporters was that a club of Stoke's size should be able to easily gain an instant return to the second tier. However Stoke experienced their worst ever season in terms of league position as they could only muster a 14th-place finish. Alan Ball was sacked in February and his assistant Graham Paddon took over for the remainder of the season.

## Season review

### League

The 1990–91 season will long be remembered by Stoke supporters as the club finished in its lowest ever league position of 14th in the third tier. Manager Alan Ball was dismissed in late February after a 4–0 defeat at Wigan Athletic with Graham Paddon filling the gap until the end of the season. The overall team performances were of a low standard with some embarrassing defeats being suffered against the likes of Shrewsbury Town, Leyton Orient, Cambridge United and Bournemouth.

It was all meant to be so different when the season started with Stoke beating Rotherham United 3–1 on the opening day which was followed by a commanding away victory at Tranmere Rovers. The club were in the top three until the start of December, but as the first half of the season came to an end Stoke's form began to suffer and after exiting the FA Cup Stoke had two awful performances against Exeter City and Preston North End and their form completely dropped off. Results briefly improved after Paddon took over, and following a victory over Mansfield Town in late March, the club were in 9th place, just three points outside the play-offs. After that win however, Stoke earned just 4 points from their last 9 matches, ending both any remaining promotion hopes and Paddon's chance of becoming permanent manager; he resigned after the season ended and returned to former club Portsmouth as a coach. Stoke had an abysmal disciplinary record this season and at times the attitude of the players on the pitch left lot to be desired. And so, despite boasting the largest supporter base and wage budget, Stoke had a season to forget in the Third Division.

### FA Cup

Stoke overcame non-league Telford United in a replay but were knocked out 2–0 at Burnley in the second round.

### League Cup

A dull two legs against Swansea City was finally ended with minutes remaining thanks to a goal from Tony Kelly. However Stoke were well beaten by West Ham United 5–1 on aggregate in the next round.

### League Trophy

Stoke's first Football League Trophy campaign saw them fail to get out of a group containing Mansfield Town and Northampton Town.

# Nazju Falzon

**Nazju Falzon** (1 July 1813 – 1 July 1865) was a Maltese cleric and a professed member from the Secular Franciscan Order. He did not become an ordained priest because he did not feel he was adequate enough for such an honor. He became an apt catechist and noted for his commitment to religious instruction.

Falzon's beatification took place in mid-2001 in Malta when Pope John Paul II visited the island nation.

## Life

Nazju Falzon was born in Malta in a big house on Strait Street on 1 July 1813 to Francis Joseph Falzon (a judge) and Maria Teresa Debono (the daughter of the judge Calcedonio Debono). Falzon was baptized on 2 July in the church of Porto Salvo in the names of "Rocco Angelo Sebastiano Vincenzo Naju Rosario Falzon". He had three brothers; all four became lawyers and two of the brothers entered the priesthood. His brother Anthony became a lawyer and married while his two brothers Kalcidon and Francis became priests themselves.

He obtained a doctorate in law on 7 September 1883. He received the tonsure and his clerical habit on 20 December 1828 and on 21 December 1828 was instituted as a cleric in a Mass that Mgr. Publius M. Sant presided over.

Falzon received the minor orders on both 21 August 1831 and on 18 December 1831 but did not wish to be ordained as a priest on the basis of unworthiness despite the local bishop's encouragement. He taught also catechism to local children first at the Institute of the Good Shepherd and became quite fluent in English due to the fact that the British were present across the island nation. Falzon also worked with the British soldiers and sailors who were stationed on Malta which at the time was a British protectorate; he would seek out the men at their assigned positions. Those who were interested were brought to his own home for services. More grew interested in this and it forced him to move and he soon found a new home for his work at a Jesuit church in the capital of Valletta. The soldiers would leave their valuables with him if the soldiers had to go to the battlefield in the knowledge that he would pass them on to their loved ones if killed or missing.

He imported simple texts in various vernacular languages and distributed them to his flock to read; he was also a writer and was responsible for "The Comfort of the Christian Soul". He became a mentor to those who remained on the island and served them as a pastor and performing marriages as well as \[baptisms and funerals. He had a strong devotion to the Eucharist and to the Archangel Raphael as well as devotions to Saint Joseph and to Benedict Joseph Labre.

Falzon died in 1865 due to a heart attack (he experienced heart spasms for a long duration) and was interred in the Falzon Vault though later moved to the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception in the local Franciscan church. The Franciscan priest Marjan Vella wrote a biographical account of the late cleric titled "Glorja tal-Kleru Malti".

## Beatification

The beatification cause opened in an informative process that spanned from 1882 until its closure in 1889. Falzon's writings spiritual writings were approved by theologians on 16 December 1902, and Falzon's cause was formally opened on 13 April 1904 under Pope Pius X, granting him the title of Servant of God. Theologians granted their approval to the cause after meeting on 10 February 1987 while the Congregation for the Causes of Saints did so as well on 6 October 1987. Falzon was named as Venerable on 23 October 1987 after Pope John Paul II confirmed that the late Maltese cleric led a life of heroic virtue.

The process for a miracle took place in the diocese of its origin and concluded on 28 June 1999 before the C.C.S. validated the process on 5 February 2000; a medical board approved this on 19 February 2001 which theologians and the C.C.S. also backed up. John Paul II approved this miracle and beatified Falzon on his visit to Malta on 9 May 2001. The beatification miracle involved the 1981 cure of a man stricken with cancer.

The current postulator for this cause is Fra Giovangiuseppe Califano.

# WWII propaganda in the southern United States

**WWII propaganda in the southern United States** was a complex interplay of wartime messages and regional racial dynamics. As the United States government disseminated information to bolster the war effort against the Axis Powers, the unique social landscape of the American South led to distinct consequences. The propaganda campaigns not only fueled nationalism but also catalyzed social changes, contributing to racial tensions and laying the groundwork for future civil rights movements.

## Race and propaganda

### Southern propaganda and the Japanese

After Japan's Attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States entered World War II. Crucial to the United States propaganda plan was to ensure that this attack was broadcast by any and all means. Japan was the enemy. Much of the propaganda was nationalistic, instilling a sense of patriotism and national pride, however, there was a significant amount of propaganda dedicated to dehumanizing Japanese people. They were painted as savages. They were said to not value life like white men. They sought for death. The Japanese were shown as almost ape like. This played off previously established racial imagery, originally used to depict the superiority of white people over black people. This imagery was especially well-established in the south, where scientific racism had “proven” the superiority and inferiority of various races. The Office of War Information took advantage of this system to provoke anti-Japanese sentiment, particularly in the American south. Posters depicted Japanese symbolism, such as the sun seen on the Japanese flag, being overshadowed by American industrialism and military prowess. The men on the posters are seen as muscular and powerful, easily overcoming the Japanese threat. Meanwhile, the Japanese were depicted as degenerate, sexually abusive, and a threat to American women.

This anti-Japanese propaganda led to massive social disruption in the south as thousands of Japanese Americans either enlisted in the United States military or were sent to internment camps. This led to a significant migration of Japanese people to the south in the early 1940s. Jim Crow segregation was in full effect, and this introduction of an additional race completely upset the status quo. Japanese Americans did not know how to participate in an area that was segregated into white and black, and generally chose utilities assigned to white people. Yet the threat of the Japanese military and the constant bombardment of anti-Japanese propaganda led to an obvious discrepancy. Because Japanese Americans did not fit into the black/white dichotomy of Jim Crow and were advertised against using imagery that was previously assigned to subjugate black people, the racial hierarchy of the South came under heavy threat.

White supremacy was further disrupted when the American-born children of Japanese immigrants began seeking to join the army in larger numbers. Wartime propaganda promoting the war as an opportunity to fight for racial equality and racial freedom was especially effective for minorities. From the start of WWII, there was a constant flow of propaganda that pushed against Jim Crow laws and showed the war as a way for black people to end segregation. To maintain a sense of white superiority, much of that segregation was pushed onto the Japanese. There were Jim-Crow-esque laws enacted, internment camps made, and a general distaste toward Japanese people. However, in 1943 and well into 1945, the south saw an increase in propaganda that pushed for the American-born children of Japanese immigrants to enter the war so that they, too, could overcome oppression. Jim-Crow laws were overwhelmingly painted as intolerant, violent and contrarian to American values. One internment camp newspaper wrote “No American of Japanese ancestry wants to give his life for the preservation of Jap Crowism.” Propaganda in the south completely and repeatedly reshaped southern views of the Japanese.

### Southern propaganda and black people

The New Deal was made to help the United States get out of the Great Depression, though many of the policies enabled racial discrimination, and did not help eliminate the effects of the Depression. The New Deal furthered racial tensions and opened the door for foreign appeals to minorities in the United States. Japanese propaganda, for instance, indicated a war against white people. They depicted white Americans as lazy, oppressive, and lacking in moral fortitude, an appealing message to southern black people. Soon it was not merely that southern blacks were hesitant to fight but a small portion actively supported the Japanese cause.

In response to this newfangled threat, the Office of War Information, and other wartime propagandists changed their emphasis. The war was painted as a way to overcome racism. German fascism was not merely a threat to American democracy; it was a threat to black people specifically. Nazis were not just oppressive to Jews and were not just an empirical force in Europe; they were a force that must be stopped because they furthered the idea that one race is scientifically superior to another. The Office of War Information began appealing to the idea that white society could be changed through the war, and that racism could be taken on at the same times the Axis Powers were taken on.

To illustrate the potential to fight the Axis Powers and racism, the imagery of the Double V was adopted by black propagandists. It represented victory in the war, and victory over Jim Crow laws, and racial oppression. This rhetoric was not without its critics. It represented a disruption of the status quo. Black propaganda was a means to ensure black rights. The propaganda helped black people feel that they were a valued part of the United States. To help black people fight in the war, propagandists realized they had to feel that they were fighting for their own country. To do that, southern blacks had to believe their country could be changed, though much of the effect of the war at home was left unaddressed through to the end of the war, partially because it was far too much to undertake while fighting in World War II.

The Double V propaganda was notably successful, and thousands of black people began joining the army. Southern plantation owners were losing significant portions of their labor force, and issue that needed to be addressed for two reasons. One, to stifle social tensions, and two, a dwindling labor force would result in lower production and economic decline in the south. Southern plantations were encouraged to shift to a mechanized system, but until that system could be implemented, much of the lost labor force was replaced by prisoners of war. Between Dallas Texas and Louisiana alone, there were over 22,000 prisoners of war working in agriculture during World War II. Propaganda aimed at southern blacks caused a deficit of labor, which led to a mass employment of prisoners of war.

Throughout the war, the constant messages of liberty, freedom, and improvement of racial equality pushed many toward assertive and even violent domestic action. There were riots against discrimination and riots to maintain discrimination. Dozens of lynchings were held in secret. In an attempt to subdue some of the chaos, local and state leaders blamed federal involvement and the New Deal. Propaganda for southern blacks inspired the beginnings of the 1960s civil rights movements against Jim Crow laws, while creating tense racial friction that did not easily subside.

## Filmic propaganda

The United States Film Industry produced hundreds of movies regarding WWII during the War. Forty-six of them showed actual combat, the rest of them dealt with the War’s more overarching ideas. Generally, these films were made to promote a certain aspect of the war efforts in order to garner support from the American Public. The Office of War Information regularly funded movies that encouraged people to enlist, to buy war bonds, etc. Roosevelt hired Frank Capra to head a project called “Why We Fight.” The films were not meant to be propagandist to the American public, as much as they were made as propagandizing documentaries to instruct and orient American soldiers during the war. A select few movies were produced before the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but that event triggered the production of a nearly unending stream of propagandist movies, as US involvement in the War became a nearly universally accepted course of action. Film after film was produced, supporting the war efforts. These films continued to entertain, but they also were a moral center and a source of inspiration for the American public.

In the South, the Office of War Information sought to use films to motivate black people to participate in the war effort. One of the first movies which they pushed for was titled The Man on America’s Conscience. It was a film which was supposed to depict the American man and his need for redress. Many were led to believe that the “man” who was in question would be black people. Instead, it was President Andrew Johnson. Southern Blacks were incensed. They pushed back against this movie with a great amount of aggression, leading the Office of War Information to urge MGM, the production company, to ease off on its aggressive use of racial stereotypes and the obvious white supremacy which was portrayed in the film. This event marked the first shift towards the humanizing and equalization of black people in Hollywood productions and it was also a major influence in film propaganda which targeted southern blacks.

Dozens of movies which featured black people were released in the three to four years which followed the release of "The Man on America's Conscience". Two of the most notable movies were Cabin in the Sky and Stormy Weather. Both movies were musicals that featured black musicians and entertainers. However, those entertainers were forced to exaggerate their performances in order to match the exiting stereotypes. These movies solidified black entertainers in the film industry, but they also helped to paint a clear picture of racial inequality. While it enabled black people to feel that they were a part of the nation, and while it also motivated them to fight in the war, it also agitated the still-existing racial tensions. The most famous movie released in this time is Casablanca, which features black actor Dooley Wilson playing Sam. His character is, at least to some degree, socially equal to that of Humphrey Bogart, and was a true demonstration of the power of filmic propaganda. The Office of War Information was ecstatic about the effect that this movie had on the southern states and the American film industry. Blacks were no longer depicted as silly caricatures. They were an integral part of American society and therefore, they were motivated to participate in the war effort. The south saw a massive movement of black soldiers, and an increase in latent racial tension due to the influence of the Office of War Information on the film industry.

## Government organizations

During their time in office President Truman and President Roosevelt put together several organizations to help fund the war efforts, mostly through propaganda. Different government agencies like the CIA also had a big role to play in this effort. Mostly affecting the interaction between the Federal Government and the citizens of this country. During this period of time Soviet embrace of communism was a big threat to the U.S. and its democratic government. President Truman pushed journalists and reporters to paint the United States on a moral and ideological high ground as compared to the Soviet Union. The War Advertising Council (WAC) was one of these organizations created in order to promote the war by using different forms of advertisement, mostly propaganda. This organization targeted minority groups that were still in the U.S. working to provide for their family, like women and men who didn't go to the war. The WAC relied on rhetorical norms in order to have patriarchal control in the face of wartime. This group had control of patriarchal advertising in the United States during WWII. Through their work, they were able to analyze and control the outcome that propaganda played in the U.S. and how it affected its citizens.

During WWII there was an advancement of urbanization and industrialization with unprecedented speed. With this new advancement in society came new employment, a new agricultural structure, urbanization, and a civil rights movement. It was a belief in the South that urbanization would bring an end to family values; and with the increase in population in big cities, the Federal Government was forced to increase its presence and influence. This resulted in the South being upset by the increasing racial tensions because of federal segregation law, which would eventually bring about the civil rights movement in 1964. This would shift the effect that southern states viewed and received propaganda.
