The Irishman

The Irishman (titled onscreen as I Heard You Paint Houses) is a 2019 American epic crime film directed and produced by Martin Scorsese and written by Steven Zaillian, based on the 2004 nonfiction book "I Heard You Paint Houses" by Charles Brandt. It stars Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci, with Ray Romano, Bobby Cannavale, Anna Paquin, Stephen Graham, and Harvey Keitel in supporting roles. The film follows Frank Sheeran (De Niro), a truck driver who becomes a hitman involved with mobster Russell Bufalino (Pesci) and his crime family, including his time working for the powerful Teamster Jimmy Hoffa (Pacino). The film marks the ninth collaboration between director Scorsese and De Niro.

In September 2014, following years of development hell, "The Irishman" was announced as Scorsese's next film after "Silence" (2016). De Niro, who also served as producer, and Pacino were confirmed that month, as was Pesci, who came out of his unofficial retirement to star after numerous requests. Principal photography began in September 2017 in New York City and in the Mineola and Williston Park sections of Long Island, and wrapped in March 2018. Scenes were filmed with a custom three-camera rig to help facilitate the extensive de-aging digital effects that made De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci appear younger. With a runtime of 209 minutes and a production budget of $159–250 million, it is the longest and most expensive film of Scorsese's career.

"The Irishman" premiered at the 57th New York Film Festival, and had a limited theatrical release on November 1, 2019, followed by digital streaming on Netflix starting on November 27, 2019. It received universal critical acclaim, with praise for Scorsese's direction and the performances of De Niro, Pacino, and Pesci. The film received numerous accolades; at the 92nd Academy Awards, it received 10 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor for Pacino and Pesci, and Best Adapted Screenplay. Additionally, at the 77th Golden Globe Awards, it was nominated for five awards, including Best Motion Picture – Drama, while it earned 10 nominations at the 73rd British Academy Film Awards, including Best Film.

Ioan Sion

Alecu Ioan Sion (September 28, 1890 – November 24, 1942) was a Romanian soldier and a major general in the Land Forces.

Born in Pitești, he attended the military high school from Iași and then studied at the military school for artillery and engineers officers in Bucharest from 1909 to 1911. He entered the army as a second lieutenant in 1911. Promoted to lieutenant in 1914, he later took part in World War I, commanding a unit within the 2nd Artillery Regiment. During the Romanian Campaign of 1916, he stood out at the battles of Perșani and Porumbacu, for which he was awarded the Order of the Crown of Romania, Knight class. He was promoted to captain in 1917, and fought in the battles in Moldavia during that summer.

After the war, Sion advanced in rank to major in January 1921, and then attended the Higher War School from November 1921 to October 1923. He became a lieutenant colonel in 1931 and a colonel in 1937. He commanded the center for artillery instruction between 1940 and 1941. On 10 May 1941 he was promoted to brigadier general and on 16 May he was appointed commanding officer of the 1st Armored Division. The division was equipped with some 200 armored vehicles, out of a total of 374 such vehicles in all of the Romanian Army. Of those, 75 were Renault FT.1917 light tanks (imported from France and Poland), organized in a battalion; 45 tanks in 3 platoons comprising a mechanized battalion; and 53 tanks attached to 4 cavalry divisions.

At the start of Operation Barbarossa, the division passed under the operational command of the XIth Corps Wehrmacht's 11th Army, led by General Eugen Ritter von Schobert. Romania joined Operation Barbarossa on 22 June in order to reclaim the lost territories of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina, which had been annexed by the Soviet Union in June 1940. Sion crossed the Prut River with the 1st Armored Division during the night of July 2/3, at the start of Operation München. After an engagement with the Red Army at Brătușeni, his troops advanced towards the Dniester River, first in the direction of Mohyliv-Podilskyi, then towards Soroca and Bălți, and then playing a decisive role in the occupation of Chișinău on July 16. On 5 August the 1st Armored Division was put under the operational command of the Romanian 5th Corps. That night, the division crossed the Dniester, and then served as the lead unit of the Romanian 4th Army (under the command of General Nicolae Ciupercă) in its advance towards Odessa, reaching the outskirts of the city by August 14. After a disastrous attack on 18 August on the Karpova railway station (where the Soviets had dug in along the railbed embankments), Sion was relieved of his command by Marshal Ion Antonescu and replaced by General . He returned to the command of the 1st Armored Division on October 10, and kept the position until January 10, 1942, when General took over, with Sion as second in command.

On August 1, 1942, Sion was named commanding officer of the 15th Infantry Division. With it he moved to the front, near Stalingrad, being subordinated to the Romanian 3rd Army, led by General Petre Dumitrescu. Sion was killed on November 24, 1942 at Bolshaya Doshchinka, during the Battle of Stalingrad, when his 15th Infantry Division was overrun and wiped out during the Soviet Operation Uranus. He was the only Romanian division commander killed in action during World War II.

After his death, he was made a major general, retroactive to October 22, 1941, and was awarded the Order of Michael the Brave, 3rd class.


Lin Chi-chan

Lin Chi-chan (; born January 11, 1980) is a Taiwanese former swimmer, who specialized in long-distance freestyle but also competed in backstroke. She represented Chinese Taipei in two editions of the Olympic Games (1996 and 2000), and later earned two medals each in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay (3:51.42), and 4 × 200 m freestyle relay (8:18.92) at the 1998 Asian Games in Bangkok, Thailand.

Lin made her first Chinese Taipei team, as a 16-year-old teen, at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. There, she failed to medal in any of her individual events, finishing eleventh in the 400 m freestyle (4:15.74), ninth in the 800 m freestyle (8:40.31), and thirty-third in the 200 m backstroke (2:24.50). A member of the Chinese Taipei team, she placed eighteenth in the 4 × 100 m freestyle relay (3:56.39), and nineteenth in the 4 × 200 m freestyle relay (8:27.61).

At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Lin drastically shortened her program, swimming only in a long-distance freestyle double. She achieved FINA B-standards of 4:20.19 (400 m freestyle) and 8:53.44 (800 m freestyle) from the National University Games in Taipei. On the second day of the Games, Lin placed twenty-fifth in the 400 m freestyle. Swimming in heat two, she raced to the fourth seed in 4:17.76, sufficiently enough for her lifetime best. Five days later, in the 800 m freestyle, Lin participated in heat one against three other swimmers Ivanka Moralieva of Bulgaria, Patricia Villarreal of Mexico, and Cecilia Biagioli of Argentina. Leading the first 250 metres of the race, she faded down the stretch over the remaining laps to pick up a third seed and twenty-fourth overall at 9:01.09.

Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer

The Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD) is a device to deploy CubeSats into orbit from the International Space Station (ISS).

In 2014, two CubeSat deployers were on board the International Space Station (ISS): the Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) Small Satellite Orbital Deployer (J-SSOD) and the Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer (NRCSD). The J-SSOD is the first of its kind to deploy small satellites from the International Space Station (ISS). The NRCSD is the first commercially operated small satellite deployer from the ISS, maximizing full capabilities of each airlock cycle of deployments.

CubeSats belong to a class of research spacecraft called nanosatellites. The basic cube-shaped satellites measure on each side, weigh less than , and have a volume of about , although there are CubeSats which are built and deployed with sizes of multiples of 10 cm in length.

, one method of getting CubeSats to orbit is to transport them aboard a larger spacecraft as part of a cargo load to a larger space station. When this is done, deploying the CubeSats into orbit as a separate artificial satellite requires a special apparatus, such as the Nanoracks CubeSat Deployer. The NRCSD is put into position to be grabbed by one of the ISS's robotic arms, which then places the CubeSat deployer into the correct position externally mounted to the ISS to be able to release the miniature satellites into proper orbit.

Steven Sotloff

Steven Joel Sotloff (; May 11, 1983 – September 2, 2014) was an American-Israeli journalist. In August 2013, he was kidnapped in Aleppo, Syria, and held captive by militants from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS).

On September 2, 2014, ISIS released a beheading video, showing one of its members beheading Sotloff. Following Sotloff's beheading, U.S. President Barack Obama stated that the United States would take action to "degrade and destroy" ISIS.

President Obama also signed an Executive Order dated June 24, 2015, in the presence of the Sotloff family and other hostage families, overhauling how the U.S. handles U.S. hostages held abroad by groups such as ISIS.

The capture and beheading of Steven Sotloff, and of fellow journalist James Foley a month prior, initiated broad public awareness of ISIL/ISIS after the beheadings were shown on the Internet and then on international television.

Sotloff's legacy is, in part, that he broke the Benghazi story to CNN, that there was no protest, and that he foresaw the massive Syrian Refugee Crisis as he reported on the everyday people's suffering in Syria, thus earning him the reputation as "The Voice for the Voiceless."


Fall Line Freeway

The Fall Line Freeway (FLF; also signed as State Route 540 (SR 540)) is a highway designed to span the width of the U.S. state of Georgia from Columbus at the Alabama state line to Augusta, traveling through several cities including Macon, Fort Valley, Sandersville, and Wrens. Though it is called a freeway, it is composed of both limited-access and high-speed divided highway portions. There are also two segments of the highway that are two lanes, separated by a center turn lane: a brief portion in west-central Washington County (west of Sandersville) and another brief portion in northern Jefferson County (completely within the city limits of Wrens). As of August 2018, the Fall Line Freeway is 100% open to traffic. Between August 2017 and July 2018, the highway was completed. The Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) announced that the highway was officially signed as SR 540 on September 24, 2018.

Most of the FLF was a piecing together of segments of pre-existing highways, upon which SR 540 was designated in September 2018. It consists of U.S. Route 80 (US 80) from the Alabama state line to Geneva and from Macon to East Macon; SR 22 from Alabama to Geneva; SR 41 in Geneva; SR 96 from Geneva to west of Fort Valley; SR 90 from west of Junction City to Junction City; SR 49 Connector (SR 49 Conn.) from west of Fort Valley to Fort Valley; SR 49 from Fort Valley to Byron; Interstate 75 (I-75) from Byron to Macon; I-16 in Macon; SR 87 from Macon to East Macon; US 23/US 129 Alternate (US 129 Alt.) from Macon to East Macon; SR 19 from Macon to East Macon; SR 57 from East Macon to southwest of Gordon; SR 24 from southeast of Milledgeville to east of Sandersville; SR 88 from east of Sandersville to Wrens; US 1/SR 4 from Wrens to Augusta; US 221 in Wrens; and SR 17 in Wrens.

From 2018 to 2019, the highway formerly used the southern portion of SR 243, from southwest of Gordon to north-northeast of Ivey, until that highway was decommissioned. The portion of the highway from north-northeast of Ivey to southeast of Milledgeville was newly built highway, specifically for this project.

The FLF is proposed to be the main portion of the Georgia segment of I-14. This Interstate Highway is currently entirely within Central Texas and may be extended into Augusta.

Sherbert v. Verner

Sherbert v. Verner, 374 U.S. 398 (1963), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States held that the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment required the government to demonstrate both a compelling interest and that the law in question was narrowly tailored before it denied unemployment compensation to someone who was fired because her job requirements substantially conflicted with her religion.

The case established the "Sherbert" Test, requiring demonstration of such a compelling interest and narrow tailoring in all Free Exercise cases in which a religious person was substantially burdened by a law. The conditions are the key components of what is usually called strict scrutiny.

In 1990, the Supreme Court decided that the "Sherbert" Test, as a judicial constitutional analysis tool, was too broad when applied to all laws. With respect to religiously neutral, generally applicable laws that incidentally burden religious exercise, the Sherbert Test was eliminated in "Employment Division v. Smith". For laws that discriminate along religious/secular lines or neutral laws that are enforced in a discriminatory way, the components of the Sherbert Test are still appropriate constitutional tools for courts to use.

In response to the 1990 "Smith" decision, Congress created an enhanced version of the Sherbert Test as a statutory, rather than constitutional, right in the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) of 1993. Its provisions were designed to apply broadly to all laws and regulations, both federal and state. Although Congress replaced the "narrowly tailored" constitutional requirement with a "least restrictive means" statutory requirement, the enhanced test is still referred to as the Sherbert Test.

However, the Supreme Court held in "City of Boerne v. Flores" that the law was unconstitutional because its enhanced Sherbert Test, as a purported change in constitutional rights, could not be enforced against the states. It impermissibly interfered with the judiciary's sole power to interpret the Constitution. However, the ruling did not necessarily limit its effect on interpretation of federal statutes.

In 2000, Congress passed the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA) that applied only to federal laws. Both laws contain the same language for an even further enhanced "Sherbert" Test, one that broadens the definition of substantial religious burden.

The Supreme Court has since relied on the statutory "Sherbert" Test to decide several prominent cases, including "Burwell v. Hobby Lobby", , and "Gonzales v. O Centro Espírita Beneficente União do Vegetal," 546 U.S. 418 (2006).

West Indian Ocean coelacanth

The West Indian Ocean coelacanth ("Latimeria chalumnae") (sometimes known as gombessa, African coelacanth, or simply coelacanth) is a crossopterygian, one of two extant species of coelacanth, a rare order of vertebrates more closely related to lungfish and tetrapods than to the common ray-finned fishes. The other extant species is the Indonesian coelacanth ("L. menadoensis").

The West Indian Ocean coelacanth was first discovered around the Comoro Islands, Madagascar, and Mozambique in the western Indian Ocean.

This coelacanth was once thought to be evolutionarily conservative, but discoveries have shown there to be initial morphological diversity. It has a vivid blue pigment, and is the better known of the two extant species. The species has been assessed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List.

They serve, alongside Javert, as one of the two arch-nemeses of the story's protagonist, Jean Valjean. While Javert represents the justice system that would punish Valjean, the Thenardiers represent the lawless subculture of society that would blackmail him. The novel portrays them as brutal and abusive figures; some adaptations transform them into buffoonish characters, though sometimes still criminals, to provide comic relief from the generally more serious tone of the story.


The 2004 United States presidential election in Indiana took place on November 2, 2004, and was part of the 2004 United States presidential election. Voters chose 11 representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.

Indiana was won by incumbent President George W. Bush by a 20.68% margin of victory. Prior to the election, all 12 news organizations considered this a state Bush would win, or otherwise considered as a safe red state. The Hoosier State had not voted Democratic in a presidential election since 1964, however in the next election the state bucked this trend and voted for Senator Barack Obama of neighboring Illinois.

Bush became the first Republican to win the White House without carrying Marion County since Benjamin Harrison in 1888. This is also the last time as of 2020 that Indiana voted to the right of Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Tennessee, or West Virginia.


Miss Virginia

The Miss Virginia competition is a scholarship pageant for women, with the titleholder representing Virginia in the Miss America pageant. The competition was founded in 1953 as a scholarship contest for young women, although women had represented Virginia in the Miss America pageant since the 1930s. Four Miss Virginia winners have gone on to be crowned Miss America, including former national titleholder Caressa Cameron.

To compete in the Miss Virginia pageant, a contestant must first win one of many local competitions. Contestants may compete at the local and state level more than once, but having won a state title may only compete in the national Miss America competition one time. The state pageant was formerly held in Roanoke, Virginia at the Roanoke Civic Center in June or July, and moved to Liberty University in Lynchburg in June 2018.

During her reign, Miss Virginia travels over 40,000 miles across the state making appearances to further her social impact initiative, visit schools, and for the Miss America Organization's national Children's Miracle Network campaign.

Dorcas Campbell from Farfield was Miss Virginia of 1963, won many singing contests, and was a very talented opera singer. Kristi Lauren Glakas, Miss Virginia 2005, is one of only seven women who have competed in the Miss America, Miss Teen USA, and Miss USA competitions. She was Miss Virginia Teen USA 1999 and Miss Virginia USA 2004, placing in the top ten at Miss Teen USA 1999 and was a non-finalist at Miss USA 2004. Two other Miss Virginia titleholders later competed in the Miss USA pageant: Jennifer Pitts was Miss Virginia USA 2005 and Shannon DePuy was Miss Florida USA 1995.

Tatum Shepard of Milan, TN was crowned Miss Virginia 2021 on June 19, 2021 at the Berglund Center Auditorium in Roanoke, Virginia. She will compete at Miss America 2022 at the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Connecticut in December 2021.


Fevey

Fevey is an opera by Vasily Pashkevich to a Russian libretto by Catherine II of Russia.

Empress Catherine II had literary ambitions and wrote nine opera librettos. This one, an allegorical fairy tale, was called "The Story of Tsarevich Fevey" (Russian: "Сказка о царевиче Февее". Аллегорическая сказка). She asked Vasili Pashkevich, a Russian composer of Polish origin, to set it to music.

This is the first example of a Russian fairytale opera, a genre that eventually flourished in the 19th century. The plot of the opera is quite absurd, used as an instruction for the heir of her throne. However the intention was to amuse the audience, because people who cheer have no evil.

The premiere took place on April 30 [OS April 19], 1786 at the Hermitage Theatre in St Petersburg. The lavish opera production evoked widespread admiration.

Grays Harbor

Grays Harbor is an estuarine bay located north of the mouth of the Columbia River, on the southwest Pacific coast of Washington state, in the United States of America. It is a ria, which formed at the end of the last ice age, when sea levels flooded the Chehalis River. The bay is long and wide. The Chehalis River flows into its eastern end, where the city of Aberdeen stands at that river's mouth, on its north bank, with the somewhat smaller city of Hoquiam immediately to its northwest, along the bayshore. Besides the Chehalis, many lesser rivers and streams flow into Grays Harbor, such as Hoquiam River and Humptulips River. A pair of low peninsulas separate it from the Pacific Ocean, except for an opening about two miles (3 km) in width. The northern peninsula, which is largely covered by the community of Ocean Shores, ends in Point Brown. Facing that across the bay-mouth is Point Chehalis, at the end of the southern peninsula upon which stands the town of Westport.

Grays Harbor is named after Captain Robert Gray who discovered and entered it on May 7, 1792 in the course of his fur-trading voyages along the north Pacific coast of North America. Gray named the bay Bullfinch Harbor, but it was afterward named Gray's Harbor by Captain George Vancouver, whose contemporaneous explorations of the region—the ships of the two captains had met at sea, only days earlier—were well publicised at the time, while Gray's voyages were not. Gray's Harbor was the name that stuck (the apostrophe was omitted under US Board on Geographic Names guidelines). A few days later, on May 11 Gray found a navigable channel into the estuary of the Columbia River, and sailed into it, the first white man known to have done so.

Settlement of the area began in the early 1870s and was largely dependent on the lumber industry. As the forests of the eastern United States depleted, many loggers from the East and the Midwest migrated to the Grays Harbor area, as well as many Scandinavians and Finns from Europe.

Grays Harbor National Wildlife Refuge is located on of intertidal mudflats, salt marsh, and uplands around Hoquiam.

The "Daily Washingtonian" was a daily newspaper in Grays Harbor founded by Otis M. Moore.

Zaporozhets za Dunayem

Zaporozhets za Dunayem (, translated as "A Zaporozhian (Cossack) Beyond the Danube", also referred to as "Cossacks in Exile") is a Ukrainian comic opera with spoken dialogue in three acts with music and libretto by the composer Semen Hulak-Artemovsky (1813–1873) about Cossacks of Danubian Sich. The orchestration has subsequently been rewritten by composers such as Reinhold Glière and Heorhiy Maiboroda. This is one of the best-known Ukrainian comic operas depicting national themes.

It was premiered with a Russian libretto on , in St Petersburg (at the time the capital of the Russian Empire). However, it is now normally performed in a Ukrainian translation.


To Venus in Five Seconds

To Venus in Five Seconds: An Account of the Strange Disappearance of Thomas Plummer, Pillmaker is a science fiction satire written by Fred T. Jane, the author of the original "Jane's Fighting Ships" and the founder of what would in time become the Jane's Information Group. Published in 1897, the novel pokes fun at several of the main subgenres of scientific romance that had become popular in the final years of the nineteenth century.

In one aspect of his multifarious career, Jane spent much of the 1890s illustrating popular novels of speculative fiction, including Edgar Fawcett's "Hartmann the Anarchist" (1893) and books by George Griffith. When he turned to writing his own novels, Jane parodied the types of fiction he illustrated—what were then called "scientific romances," and the novels of future war that were such a characteristic feature of popular literature in Britain in the decades before World War I—books like Griffth's "The Angel of the Revolution" (1893) and "Olga Romanov" (1894). The title of Jane's book both pokes fun and alludes to other works of romances of travel like Jules Verne's "From The Earth To The Moon, Direct Course In 97 Hours 20 Minutes" (1865), "Around The Moon" (1870), "Around The World In Eighty Days" (1873), and their imitations.


Red algae

Red algae, or Rhodophyta ( , ; ), are one of the oldest groups of eukaryotic algae. The Rhodophyta also comprises one of the largest phyla of algae, containing over 7,000 currently recognized species with taxonomic revisions ongoing. The majority of species (6,793) are found in the Florideophyceae (class), and mostly consist of multicellular, marine algae, including many notable seaweeds. Red algae are abundant in marine habitats but are relatively rare in freshwaters. Approximately 5% of the red algae occur in freshwater environments with greater concentrations found in warmer areas. Except for two coastal cave dwelling species in the asexual class Cyanidiophyceae, there are no terrestrial species, which may be due to an evolutionary bottleneck where the last common ancestor lost about 25% of its core genes and much of its evolutionary plasticity.

The red algae form a distinct group characterized by having eukaryotic cells without flagella and centrioles, chloroplasts that lack external endoplasmic reticulum and contain unstacked (stroma) thylakoids, and use phycobiliproteins as accessory pigments, which give them their red color. Red algae store sugars as floridean starch, which is a type of starch that consists of highly branched amylopectin without amylose, as food reserves outside their plastids. Most red algae are also multicellular, macroscopic, marine, and reproduce sexually. The red algal life history is typically an alternation of generations that may have three generations rather than two.
The coralline algae, which secrete calcium carbonate and play a major role in building coral reefs, belong here. Red algae such as dulse "(Palmaria palmata)" and laver (nori/gim) are a traditional part of European and Asian cuisines and are used to make other products such as agar, carrageenans and other food additives.


Belisarius Begging for Alms

Belisarius Begging for Alms () is a large-format (288 × 312 cm) history painting in oil on canvas by Jacques-Louis David. It depicts the Byzantine general Belisarius, who heroically defeated the Vandals in North Africa in AD 533–534 on behalf of Justinian I, and (according to an apocryphal account probably added to his biography in the Middle Ages) was later blinded by the emperor and reduced to begging for alms on the street. David exhibited the work at the Salon of 1781 after returning from Italy and it proved a great success.

It is now on show at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille.


The Emperor Napoleon in His Study at the Tuileries is an 1812 painting by Jacques-Louis David. It shows French Emperor Napoleon I in uniform in his study at the Tuileries Palace. Despite the detail, it is unlikely that Napoleon posed for the portrait.

Kubršnica

The Kubršnica (Serbian Cyrillic: Кубршница) is a river in Šumadija region of central Serbia, a 42 km-long left and the longest tributary to the Jasenica river.

The Kubršnica originates from the Venčac mountain, in the Jasenica sub-region of Šumadija, in the wider area of the town of Aranđelovac. The terrain in the source area of the river is rich in marble and fireclay. The river flows to the east, next to the Aranđelovac's suburb of Banja and turns north near Topola.

After the villages of Krćevac and Zagorica, the Kubršnica receives from the left its major tributary, the "Veliki Lug", near the village of Ratari and enters the eastern half of the Veliko Pomoravlje as it turns to the east again. After it passes next to the village of Glibovac and the town of Smederevska Palanka, it empties into the Jasenica river.

Its tributary, Veliki Lug, was described in March 2019 by the environmentalists a "conditional river", because for a long time it has been notorious for the pollution. The river is so devastated by the communal and industrial waste from Mladenovac, Sopot and nearby settlements, that it turned into an open wastewater collector.

The eastern river valley is a natural route for the section of the Belgrade-Niš railroad, while the Belgrade-Kragujevac road passes through the western part. The Kubršnica belongs to the Black Sea drainage basin, drains and area of 709 km² itself, and it is not navigable. The lower parts of the flow are regulated to prevent floods during rainy years, but not to greater effect.

Joelma Building

Edifício Praça da Bandeira, better known by its former name, Joelma Building, is a 25-story building in downtown São Paulo, Brazil, completed in 1971, located at Avenida 9 de Julho, 225. On 1 February 1974, an air conditioning unit on the twelfth floor overheated, starting a fire. There were 756 people in the building at the time. Because flammable materials had been used to furnish the interior, the entire building was engulfed in flames within 20 minutes. The fire was extinguished at 1:30pm, with 179 deaths and 300 people injured.

This happened less than two years after another deadly fire in downtown São Paulo, that of the Andraus Building. As of 2019, the Joelma fire remains the second-worst skyscraper fire ever in terms of the death toll, after the collapse of the twin World Trade Center towers in New York City on September 11, 2001.

Novardok Yeshiva

The Novardok Yeshiva in Navahrudak, then the Russian Empire, was one of the biggest and most important yeshivas in pre-World War II Europe, and a powerful force within the Mussar movement. It was the first of hundreds of a network of Musar yeshivas, which were created subsequently. They all assumed the name of Novardok yeshivas.

The directors of the yeshivas were in constant contact with The "Alter", who guided and visited them, spending nearly every Shabbos in a different town.

The yeshiva was established in 1896, together with a Kollel for married men, under the direction of Rabbi Yosef Yozel Horwitz, an alumnus of the Kovno Kollel and pupil of Rabbi Yisrael Salanter. In the footsteps of his mentor, he was a staunch advocate of the Mussar approach. He was known as the "Alter fun Novardok", a Yiddish term meaning "the elder of Novardok".

Novardok established yeshivas all over the region, in major cities such as Kiev, Kharkov, Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Zhitomir, Berditchev, Tsaritsyn, Saratov, Plogid, and Chernigov.
