Damtia is a language which was made up by [[User:Timbot4x4|Timbot4x4]]

= Alphabet =
[[File:DM Alphabet.jpg|DM Alphabet]] <br>
The alphabet uses a little line to the left, usually in the middle, unless it's curved, like an "S," or has a line through it, like an "F." This is used to distinguish the uppercase and lowercase letters that look similar apart, for example "O" and "o."

= Grammer Rules =

=== Lowercase Line Rule ===
Any lowercase letter, such as “O,” is similar to the uppercase “O,” thus you put a line to the left of the lowercase letter (-o). You only do this in writing. On a computer, you would just type “o.”

=== Vowels ===
The vowels of Damtia are, A | D | E | M | I | O | u | Y. “V” is not a vowel, even though it's the uppercase form of “u.” "M” and “D” are vowels because of the sound the “M” makes as well as the “D.”

=== “X” On Top of a Letter ===
It separates the last letter from it. For example, an “ë” in French. The “x” can be used on any letter and it must be lowercase. This can go on any letter (vowel, consonant, letter with accent).

=== Long Letters ===
Long letters have a colon after the letter “a:” “A:”

Saskatoon Concert Band

AyodeleA2: /* History */


The '''Saskatoon Concert Band''' is a traditional Canadian civilian based in the city of [[Saskatoon]], in the province of [[Saskatchewan]].  The band comprises of two bands: the concert band and the auxiliary band.

==History==
The Saskatoon Concert Band was founded in 1949 as the 406 Wing Band of the [[Royal Canadian Air Force]]. It would later be renamed as the 23rd Wing Band. During this era, it took part in the Canadian National Exhibition as well as jointly performed with [[Mexican people|Mexican]] solo [[trumpet]]er [[Rafael Méndez]] as a guest artist. 10 years later, it was dissolved to create the Kinsmen Concert Band. In the mid 1960s, a section from the band came back into military service, this time as the [[HMCS Unicorn]] Band in the [[Royal Canadian Navy]]. The band came into its cirrnet form in 1982 as a non-profit organization. The band has also performed at Saskatchewan’s Centennial year celebrations, during which it toured Northern Saskatchewan, as well as performed at events in the [[Saskatchewan Legislature]].<ref>https://ift.tt/2wfr3Be>

==Auxiliary Band==
The Saskatoon Auxiliary Concert Band was formed in 1987 in order to cater to a demographic of musicians who decided to rekindle their musical career. With the band and the concert band being active, the band allows for a range of skill levels to join. It performs at two concerts per year in Saskatoon, contrary to the three regular concerts and one outdoor concert that all occur throughout the year.<ref>https://ift.tt/39bAGzD>

Charles Wicksteed (engineer)

Mbdfar: /* References= */ typo


'''Charles Wicksteed''' (1847–1931) was a British engineer, businessman, and entrepreneur. He is best known as an inventor of playground equipment.

==Biography==
Wicksteed was born in [[Leeds]] in 1847. His father was [[Charles Wicksteed]] (1810–1885), a Unitarian minister. At the age of 16, he accepted an apprenticeship at locomotive manufacturer [[Kitson and Company|Kitson & Hewitson]].<ref name="park"></ref> When he was 21, Wicksteed founded Charles Wicksteed and Co., Ltd., a steam plow contracting business. Initially based in [[Norfolk]], he moved operations to [[Kettering]] in 1872.<ref></ref> In 1876, he established an engineering workshop called The Stamford Road Works. The firm was successful, and he sold his plowing business in 1894.<ref name="park"/>

In 1907, Wicksteed's firm developed an automobile transmission. Although considered a noteworthy invention, it was a commercial failure. Wicksteed then pivoted to power tools, including hydraulic hacksaw and circular saw machines.<ref></ref> These inventions were highly successful and subsequently mass produced.<ref name="park"/>

During [[World War I]], Wicksteed principally manufactured munitions, gauges, and gears for the war effort. After the war, he decided to give back to the community. He began development of what would eventually become [[Wicksteed Park]].<ref name="park"/> He designed the layout of the park himself, which includes a 25 acre man-made lake, racing track, and railway.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

Wicksteed Park opened in 1921, and Wicksteed began manufacturing playground equipment. He is considered the inventor of the modern-day [[playground slide]] and [[swing (seat)|swing]]. In 2013, a prototype swing of his was unearthed near Wicksteed Park dating back to the early 1920s. It is believed to be the UK's oldest working swing.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

Wicksteed's company Wicksteed Leisure Limited is still manufacturing play equipment.<ref></ref>

Oregon Federation of Colored Women's Clubs

Osu.archivist.tem: Created article.


Oregon women achieved the vote in 1912 and throughout the state women in organizations organized around racial groups and ethnicities. Portland had a significant number of African American women’s clubs and organizations, including the Oregon Federation of Colored Women's Clubs.<ref name=":0"></ref>

Black women organized voter registration drives, public lectures, and events featuring well-known activist leaders to educate communities on important political issues.<ref name=":0" /> These clubs played important roles both locally and nationally in improving interracial relations and promoting civic engagement and uplift within African American communities. There were three pillars of community building in early Black Portland: women’s social clubs, newspapers and civic organizations. The Oregon Association of Colored Women's Clubs was formed in 1912 as the Colored Women’s Council and was a conglomeration of several smaller civic and literary clubs. Their motto was "Lift As We Climb."<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Katherine Gray was the first president when the club became the Oregon Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs.<ref></ref>

Women in the Oregon Federation of Colored Women’s Clubs were also involved in the Suffrage movement. At a meeting of the Colored Women’s Council of Portland on May 12, 1912 members formed the Colored Women’s Equal Suffrage League. Their goal was “spreading equal suffrage ideas among those of the race.” Katherine Gray was the first president, Mrs. Lancaster was vice president, Edith Gray was treasurer, and [[Harriet Redmond|Hattie Redmond]] was secretary. Redmond later served as president.<ref></ref>

The Oregon club was organized under a regional and national branches of the [[National Association of Colored Women's Clubs|National Association of Colored Women’s Clubs]] (NACWC), which was based in  Washington D.C. NACWC was originally called the National Association of Colored Women (1896–1914) and was formed at a convention in Washington, D.C. when the [[National Federation of Afro-American Women]] and the National League of Colored Women merged.<ref> Description, History, & Facts|website=Encyclopedia Britannica|language=en|access-date=2020-02-28}}</ref>

By 1988, the club was called the Oregon Association of Color Women's Clubs, and had six active components: Altruistic Club, Fleur de Lis Club, Katherine Gray Club, Literary Research Club, Multnomah Women's Club, and the Harriet Tubman Club. They focused on charitable and educational work, awarded a Katherine Gray Scholarship and Women of the Year and Family of the Year awards, and supported local federated girls' clubs.<ref></ref>

Rumfuddle

OnBeyondZebrax: /* Reception */ ooops


'''''Rumfuddle''''' is a [[science fiction]] story by [[Jack Vance]] published in ‘’Three Trips in Time and Space’’, a 1973 anthology of original science fiction novellas edited by Robert Silverberg. In ''Rumfuddle'', a genius scientist named Alan Robertson has discovered that there are an infinite number of parallel universes. He creates a machine that can inexpensively access portals between universes that are similar to our own, which he calls “cognates”. At first, this technological leap leads to positive effects, such as infinite access to natural resources from other parallel worlds. As time goes on, though, people realize that this new power may have negative consequences.

==Plot==

San Francisco-based scientist Alan Robertson discovers [[wormhole|portals]] to parallel universes and worlds. At first, this is heralded as a great benefit, as it has created a [[post-scarcity]] society; any raw resources can be harvested by going through a portal and getting them from a planet in another universe. As well, the problems of overpopulation and the resultant shortage of living space is also solved, because every family can live in a different parallel universe’s Earth-like world.

Many other fields are revolutionized, because the portal device can also transport you to other time periods, like a [[time machine]]. As such, a historian can travel back hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years to observe the world. Despite the technology’s benefits, Alan worries that it may lead to “new vices” and decadent lifestyles.

One example of the problems that the portals can cause is the use of the technology by Alan’s adult son Bob. Bob gives access to the portal device to a small group of friends, who he calls "Rumfuddlers," to set up complex practical jokes that change historical figures. The Rumfuddlers turn Nazi leader [[Hitler]] into a kosher restaurant worker and they make Marx, Lenin and Stalin into servants to [[Czar Nicholas]].

Alan Robertson’s adopted grandson, now an adult, is a construction worker named Gilbert Duray. Gilbert is a bulldozer operator for Robertson’s company. As so many Old Earth inhabitants are living in parallel worlds, entire Earth towns have been abandoned. Gilbert’s job is to bulldoze the empty houses and businesses and then take the waste to a parallel world for disposal. With this work, former towns are converting back to natural forests.

Gilbert works on Earth but lives with his wife Elizabeth and three daughters in a parallel Earth-like planet called “Home” that he accesses via the portal. He travels through the portal to work in his the Old Earth, then returns to the Home planet in the evening. At the end of his day bulldozing Earth towns, Gilbert finds that he cannot access the portal to Home. Gilbert thinks the portal might be shut to him because he refused to meet his Grandfather’s elite friends, the practical joke-playing “rumfuddlers”. If the portal is permanently closed, this would mean his wife would be stuck in Home forever, all alone.

Gilbert asks this Grandfather Alan for help getting the portal to Home opened up, but Alan says he is not able to control the activities of Bob’s “Rumfuddlers”. The Rumfuddlers’ jokes and meddling in parallel worlds is getting increasingly complex and problematic. Alan does not agree with these activities, but he cannot get Bob and his friends to stop. Gilbert suspects that his loss of access to his wife and the Home world may be due to a Rumfuddler intervention.

Eventually, the reader learns that there are multiple Gilberts and multiple Elizabeths in different parallel worlds, with the copies being fairly close to the originals but not quite the same. Gilbert learns that Elizabeth has cooperated with the Rumfuddlers in closing off Gilbert’s portal to her, for reasons that Gilbert does not understand. Elizabeth eventually seeks to spend time with a number of different Gilberts on different parallel worlds.

==Reception==

The story is a [[parable]] about the dangers of new technologies and the [[unintended consequences]] that scientific innovations can produce.

Several vessels have been named '''''Princess Charlotte''''' for one of the many Princesses Charlotte:

* was an "extra ship’’ of the British [[East India Company]] (EIC). She made four voyages for the EIC. On her second voyage she suffered a short-lived mutiny and then spent almost a year as an armed ship in the service of the EIC, including a voyage to the [[Red Sea]]. A squadron of the French Navy captured her in the [[Visakhapatnam|Vizagapatam]] [[roadstead|roads]] in 1804, on her fourth voyage.
* was launched in Sunderland in 1813. She immediately started trading with the Indian Ocean and India under a license from the British [[East India Company]] (EIC). She made one voyage for the EIC, and she made two voyages [[transportation (punishment)|transporting]] [[convicts]] to Australia, one to [[Hobart Town]], [[Van Diemen's Land]], and one to [[Port Jackson]], New South Wales. She foundered in 1828 in the Bay of Bengal.

Papyrus Brooklyn 35.1446

Raven rs: /* Content */


The Brooklyn Papyrus 35.1446 is the modern term for an ancient Egyptian document that is now in the Brooklyn Museum (New York).

= Archaeological History =
It was bought by Charles Edwin Wilbour in Egypt between 1881 and 1896. The document probably comes from Thebes. After the death of CE Wilbour, the papyrus was given to the Brooklyn Museum by the widow in 1916, but remained in the home of Theodora Wilbour, a daughter of Charles Wilbour, until 1935. At that time, the papyrus consisted of approximately 600 small fragments, which were reassembled from 1950 to 1952. In 1955 the papyrus was published by William C. Hayes. It is one of the most important surviving administrative documents from Egypt in the Middle Kingdom.

= Content =
The papyrus is described on both sides and was used over a longer period.

== Front Side ==
On the front is a list of 80 people in various columns who have apparently escaped from an institution called a Large Prison / Labor Camp ( ḫnrt-wr ) and are registering their discovery. The list lists their names, the father's name, as well as a high official, a place or an institution to which they originally belonged. There is a note in another column as to whether the person is male or female. There follows an administrative statement, a place where the case was ticked off with a note of where the refugees are currently. Finally there are two notes as to whether the case is closed.

The content appear to date from the reign of [[Amenemhat III]] into the [[13th dynasty]]. Copies of a letter and royal decree to Vizier [[Ankhu]] are also included within the document.

The content of this list has been the subject of controversial research and there are basically two conflicting approaches. On the one hand, the document is seen as evidence of Egypt as a forced state, in which parts of the population were forced to work and these people considered the work so overwhelming that they fled from it. On the other hand, it was pointed out that the document covers a period of several decades and the number of refugees for such a period is not very large. The evidence of clan liability is remarkable . As long as the fugitives were not caught, relatives have been captured.

== Back Side ==
On the back of the document is a list of servants and Asians sold by a woman named Senebtisi, apparently the widow of [[Resseneb (son of Ankhu)|Resseneb]]. In particular, the many Asian names on this list aroused the interest of research and shows the high proportion of foreigners in Egypt in the 13th dynasty.

Ria Tikini

Grutness: added Category:Kāti Māmoe using HotCat


'''Ria Tikini''' or '''Ria Te Kini''' (ca.1810 - 19 July 1919), also known as '''Mrs Chicken''', was a businesswoman, cultural informant, and midwife from [[Kāi Tahu]] and [[Kāti Mamoe]] descent. She was an informant for ethnographer [[William Anderson Taylor]]'s work on Kāi Tahu history, and is credited as one of the midwives who paved the way for the creation of the [[Plunket Society]] of [[New Zealand]].

== Personal life ==
Tikini was born around 1810 at [[Ruapuke Island]]. She was 17 at the time of [[Te Rauparaha]]'s attacks on [[Kaiapoi]],<ref name="benger">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>, whether this referred to the initial raid in 1927<ref name="benger"/> or to the later capture in 1931<ref name="beattie">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>. She was variously said to be 20<ref name="taylor">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> or a young woman<ref name="lore"></ref> in the early 1840s during the Wesleyan missions of Reverends Watkin and Creed at [[Karitāne|Old Waikouaiti]].

Little is documented about her family, however Tikini had an elder sister<ref name="temuka">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>. She married Tikini Paha<ref name="benger"/> and adopted (in the traditional whāngai way) a son Henare (Henry) Parata.<ref name="plunket"></ref> She lived in a small wooden house below the railway line on the slope of the [[Puketeraki]] hill.<ref name="brown">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

Tikini was tattooed in the ''tuhi'' style, "each side of her face being adorned with two straight lines and from mouth to ear"<ref name="beattie"/>. By the twentieth century the ethnographer W.A. Taylor considered this an unusual and "ancient" style, which he dated back to the time of Tamatea 600 years previously.<ref name="tattoo">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Taylor photographed her in 1907 wearing a large [[korowai]], probably a family heirloom, along with a feather in a headscarf as a symbol of high status<ref name="brown"/>, and referred to her himself as a "rangatira wahine" or female chief.<ref name="taylor"/>

She was known as a "shrewd businesswoman"<ref name="lore"/> who sold poultry. It was either this<ref name="plunket"/> or an attempt to transliterate her name into English<ref name="brown"/> that led to her nickname of "Mrs Chicken". She was particularly known for keeping back the wings when she sold whole dressed chickens, which she kept as a "delicious" perk of the job.<ref name="plunket"/>

When over 80, she was among the public who went to see the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall on their visit to Dunedin. Despite being several times pushed back by an "officious" policeman, she was brought forward by his superior and the royal party shook hands and spoke with her.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

By 1913, Tikini's elder sister had died. The sister's land in Kaiapoi was in the name of her husband, but as he was not a member of that area, Tikini attempted to have the title amended in her own favour.<ref name="temuka"/>

By 1915 Tikini was "very deaf"<ref name="beattie"/>, however she was active even in early 1919 entertaining a visiting group of invalid soldiers.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> Predeceased by her husband, she died in the house of her son Henare Parata on Saturday 19 July 1919.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> She was noted at the time as "probably the oldest inhabitant of the dominion".<ref name="benger"/>

== Ethnography ==
W.A. Taylor often gathered with Tikini among others including [[Mere Harper]] on a slope on the [[Huriawa Peninsula]] to talk about historic events. He noted that she "could speak with authority on the earliest European days".<ref name="taylor"/> She was also among those visited by [[Herries Beattie]].<ref name="beattie"/>

== Plunket ==
Tikini also worked among both Māori and [[Pākehā]] in the district as a midwife, [[tohunga|tōhuka]] and healer. She worked for many years with Mere Harper, thirty years younger than her, to help with health issues in their community and deliver generations of children. In 1906, she and Harper delivered Thomas (Tommy) Rangiwahia Mutu Ellison. Tommy's older brother had died as a baby, so when Tommy also became ill the midwives brought him to Harper's friend, the doctor [[Truby King]], where he thrived under their combined care. The Karitāne Home for Babies opened within a year, and, with the aid of the extensive networks established by Tikini and Harper, as well as Tikini's decades of experience and the traditional knowledge she held, soon developed into the [[Plunket Society]].<ref name="plunket"/>

In 2016, David Ellison, [[Upoko]] of Kāti Huirapa [[Rūnaka]] ki Puketeraki, and the son of Mutu Ellison, sought recognition for Tikini and Harper. An interpretive panel overlooking the [[Waikouaiti River]] was updated as a result<ref name="spinoff"></ref>, and in 2020, Plunket rebranded its logo to acknowledge its founding Māori midwives.<ref name="rnz">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

Hernen Castle

Thriley:


Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)

'''Hernen Castle''' is a Dutch castle from the 14th century.

Hernen Castle is located in the south of [[Gelderland]], in the village of [[Hernen]] (municipality of Wijchen), in the far west of the [[Rijk van Nijmegen]]. It probably originated around 1350, and then consisted of only one residential tower (keep). Later it was repeatedly expanded, with the former courtyard increasingly being filled. The residential tower collapsed in the 18th century.

The castle has not been inhabited since the 17th century and has never been besieged. Partly because of that, little has been cultivated, and it has been well preserved. It is the only castle in the Netherlands with covered weather corridors.

In 1883 it was bought by the Den Tex family. A daughter donated the castle in April 1940 to the Friends of the [[Geldersche Kasteelen Foundation]], which was set up especially for this purpose. A part of the castle is accessible; in another part is occupied by the [[A.A. Bredius Foundation]].

In 1968, the television series [[Floris]] was recorded at this castle.

==Motte==

September 2009, archaeologist Laurens Flokstra and historian Wim Kattenberg, both from Wijchen, came across the remains of a Motte-and-bailey castle, west of the river De Elst. On an old aerial photo from the Royal Air Force, Flokstra had discovered a circular structure in the landscape, after which they made a 'radargram' of the intended terrain with a bottom radar. This showed that a damped moth moat had to be present in the soil. In the subsequent excavations, shards from the 12th and 13th centuries were found on the site of the former canal. Further discoveries, in the center of the former castle, show that the motte must have been here at the beginning of the twelfth century.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2wRX6rh Restanten Hernens oerkasteel ontdekt], ''[[de Gelderlander]]'', 24 september 2009</ref>

J. Brady Anderson

AnomieBOT: Dating maintenance tags:


'''J. Brady Anderson''' (born 1945) is an Attorney, former American Ambassador (Tanzania 1994-1997),<ref name="OotH"></ref> Administrator of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), <ref name="TWH" /> and Chairman of the Board of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation. He is Chairman of the Board of the Institute for Global Engagement (IGE).<ref name="SVP"></ref>

It was the intention of the American Foreign Service Association (AFSA) to oppose Anderson’s opposition, not based on a lack of qualifications but because “Anderson's nomination is the latest in a series of White House decisions to replace career-officer ambassadors, who have been in their embassies only a short time, with political appointees. In AFSA's view, this practice seriously threatens the unwritten but long-standing rule that a U.S. ambassador's normal tour of duty should be three years.”<ref name="Goshko"></ref>

Anderson received a B.A. from Rhodes College in Memphis, Tennessee in 1967, and a J.D. from the University of Arkansas School of Law in 1973. He went on to work as a private attorney in [[Helena, Arkansas]], Assistant Attorney General in [[Little Rock, Arkansas]], as a special assistant to Governor [[Bill Clinton]] and as senior law clerk to U.S. District Judge Elsijane T.

Southeast Kentucky floods of 2020

Oliveleaf4: /* Statewide emergency and heavy rainfall events */ ce


Major flooding innundated Southeast Kentucky from February 6-7, 2020, as the result of an extremely heavy rain event.<ref></ref>

Twenty one counties in Eastern Kentucky sustained flood damage, and Kentucky Governor [[Andy Beshear]] declared a state of emergency on February 8, for Bell, Clay, Harlan, Knox, Leslie, Letcher, Perry and Whitley Counties.<ref></ref><ref name=":0">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref><ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

== Flooding timeline ==
Beginning on February 3rd, numerous rounds of rainfall began to impact eastern Kentucky. This continued through February 7th, highlighted by heavy rainfall from the evening of February 5th through the first half of February 6th. Rain amounts of 4-6 inches fell across much of southeastern Kentucky over this period. This led to major flooding and numerous mudslides across portions of Whitley, Perry, Letcher, Leslie, Knox, Harlan, Clay, and Bell Counties. The Governor subsequently declared a State of Emergency for these 8 counties.

Major flooding occurred along the [[Cumberland River]] at Pineville, Barbourville, and Williamsburg. Additionally, the communities of Loyall and Baxter experienced major flooding. Numerous roads became impassable across large portions of Whitley, Knox, Clay, Leslie, Letcher, Harlan, Perry, and Bell counties. In particular, Harlan County was hit extremely hard with the Kentucky Mesonet site on Black Mountain (4031 foot elevation) receiving over 6.5 inches of rain over this stretch.

Flood gates were closed in [[Pineville, Kentucky|Pineville]] and [[Harlan, Kentucky|Harlan]], further impacting local travel.<ref></ref> A couple of mobile homes were flooded and swept down the Cumberland River in Harlan County, while swift water rescues took place in Bell and Harlan Counties. Elkhorn Dam in [[Jenkins, Kentucky|Jenkins]] had water rushing over it for a period of time on February 6.<ref name=":0" /> A man went missing in Whitley County and was later found deceased in his car on Kentucky Highway 779 after his attempt to drive into flood waters. A total of seven homes were reported to have been in or under water across Whitley County as the Cumberland River in Williamsburg crested to its third highest stage on record of 34.84 feet. The city of [[Pineville, Kentucky|Pineville]] saw the river rise to its second highest crest in history at 1019.06 feet, leading to several families being stranded without homes.

While impacts were greatest along the Cumberland River, several portions of the [[Kentucky River]] also flooded. Several roads were impacted in Hazard and Whitesburg, while Booneville, Heidelberg, and Ravenna also exceeded flood stage. Along the Levisa Fork of the [[Big Sandy River (Tennessee)|Big Sandy River]], the city of [[Pikeville, Kentucky|Pikeville]] hit flood stage and closed its flood gates.

During the first two weeks of February, "more than eight inches of water fell, causing the Cumberland and Kentucky Rivers to reach their highest levels in 40 years."<ref name=":1">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

== Relief efforts ==
By February 18, Kentucky Baptist Disaster Relief workers were preparing for "mud-outs" (assisting with cleaning mud out of damaged houses) in Harlan, Bell, Knox and Whitley counties."<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> On February 19, $500,000 in grant money was announced for flood cleanup, to ensure "environmentally responsible disposal of solid waste."<ref></ref>

== Statewide emergency and heavy rainfall events ==
On February 23, Gov. Matt Bevin "declared a statewide emergency in response to continued heavy rainfall events which have caused widespread flooding and damage to critical infrastructure across Kentucky."<ref></ref>

The [[The Atlantic|Atlantic Magazine]] noted that this flood has not received little attention at the national level, and that there has been no national relief effort.<ref name=":1" />

'''Nancy Maria Donaldson Johnson''' (born 28 Dec. 1794 - died 22 April 1890) was awarded the first US patent for a hand-cranked ice cream freezer in 1843.<ref name=":0">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

== Biography ==
Nancy was born to Dr. Lothario Donaldson and Mary 'Polly' Rider in [[New York (state)|New York]]. She served with her sister Mary as a missionary for the [[Port Royal Experiment]]. She married Professor Walter Rogers Johnson. She lived in Philadelphia in 1843 when she filed for her patent.

She adopted two children. She died in [[Washington, D.C.]] in 1890.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

== Contributions ==
Johnson enhanced the ice cream making process by creating an appliance that used hand-cranked spatulas inside a cylinder to scrape ice crystals from the walls of the cooled container. She added holes to the spatulas to make it easier to crank. <ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>

Johnson received $1500 during the course of her life for her patent.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> However, she didn't enforce the patent, and William G. Young produced the Johnson Patent Ice-Cream Freezer in 1848.<ref name=":0" />

Human-dinosaur coexistence

[[File:NileMosaicOfPalestrina2.JPG|300px|right|thumb|A section of [[Nile mosaic of Palestrina]] (1st century BC) shows humans hunting a large reptile described by some proponents of this hypothesis as a dinosaur]]

The [[pseudoscience|pseudoscientific]] and [[pseudohistory|pseudohistorical]] notion that non-avian [[dinosaur]]s and [[human]]s coexisted at some time in the past or still coexist in the present is common among [[Young Earth creationism|Young Earth creationists]] and other groups.

[[Mainstream science]] currently understands that all [[bird]]s are dinosaurs that descended from feathered [[theropod]]s.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref> By this broad and more technical sense of the word, humanity has coexisted with dinosaurs since the first humans appeared on Earth. However, in a narrow and more colloquial sense, the term "dinosaur" refers specifically to non-avian dinosaurs, all of which died out in the [[Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction]] about 66 million years ago, while the ''[[Homo]]'' genus emerged only about 3 million years ago, leaving a space of tenths of millions of years between the last dinosaurs and the first humans.<ref name="science_daily"></ref> This article refers to attempts that have been made to deny such timespan.

==Mythological creatures==
Some proponents claim that mythological reptiles such as [[dragon]]s and the [[Behemoth]]<ref>Keil, C.F. and Delitzsch, F., ''Commentary on the Old Testament'', Vol. IV, Job, Eerdmans, Grand Rapids, p. 357, 1988.</ref><ref>Hanson, A. and Hanson, M., The Book of Job, SCM Press, London, p. 112, 1953.</ref><ref>Driver, S.R. and Gray, G.B., A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Book of Job, T. & T. Clark, Edinburgh, Part II, p. 326, 1921.</ref> are historical descriptions of dinosaurs.

==Hoaxes==
Some [[hoax]]es presented as historical depictions of dinosaurs, such as the [[Ica stones]], have been produced.

==Fiction==
[[Speculative fiction]] commonly portrays non-avian dinosaurs and humans. Examples include ''[[The Flintstones]]'', in which Stone Age humans have dinosaurs as pets and transportation.

Bartolomeo Signorini

Rococo1700:


'''Bartolomeo Signorini''' (1674–14 March 1742) was an [[Italy|Italian]] painter of the late-[[Baroque]], active in mainly in [[Verona]].

He was born and trained in Verona under [[Santo Prunati]] and later [[Giambettino Cignaroli]]. In a review of Veronese painters, he is described as:
<blockquote>as a man of value (who gave) evident signs of not vulgar ingenuity. He invented with spirit, drew manually, but not disproportionately, colored reasonably, and knotted the drapery with panache ... but as he idled and dreamed of new ways, he set out from the good path, and he made certain paintings in a truly barbaric manner, especially over the last few years ... he abandoned himself to a race of idleness: procuring sooner to patch up old paintings, and buy, and resell them together with his friend Baroni.</blockquote> He appears to have met criticism for an altarpiece he painted for the church of San Bovo, and painted less.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2ST047A Notizie e Documenti di Giambettino Cignaroli], in Monumento Storici, by Giuseppe Biadego, notes by Cignaroli, Venice (1890), page 38.</ref>

* to create an architectural and real-estate pole: the safeguarding and reallocation of the building of the [[RTBF]];
* to create a pole at the social level: demonstration of a dynamic action carried out jointly by representatives of the country's different communities with a view to creating a cultural institution of excellence with a European vocation. It is also on the borders of the privileged area of the Étangs d'Ixelles and the world of immigrant cultures.

Le Flagey has now regained its original function by creating a musical space with [[recording studios]] and [[concert]]s venues (the [[Brussels Philharmonic]] resides in Studio 4). It has become a place with an eclectic programming.

It was directed by from 2007 to 2011 and, since 2011, by Gilles Ledure.

== Cinema house==
This cultural centre has a room permanently dedicated to cinema. It screens films programmed by the [[Cinémathèque royale de Belgique]]. Either indisputable classics or recent curiosities that have not been distributed in the commercial network.

If the prints are, for the most part, the same as those shown at , the access price is much higher at the Flagey (about double). The audience is therefore, on the whole, easier, less heterogeneous.

Exceptional screenings are sometimes organised in the prestigious largest concert hall in Brussels where a huge screen is installed for the event. In 2003, ''[[Playtime]]'' by Jacques Tati was screened there in its original version in [[70 mm]], for the first time in Belgium.

TimLuKWiki: Added a Picture for a visualisation of him



[[File:Egon_Hanfstaengl_In_A_Interview.jpg|thumb|right|Egon Hanfstaengel in a interview with zeitzeugen-portal]]
'''Egon Ludwig Sedgwick Hanfstaengl''' (;* [[February 3]] [[1921]] in [[New York City]] <ref>Peter Conradi, Hitler's Piano Player, 2006, Seite 34</ref>; † [[March 21]] [[2007]] in the [[USA]]) was a German art publisher and also [[Adolf Hitler|Adolf Hitler‘s]] godchild. He was the son of [[Ernst Hanfstaengl]].

== Life ==

Egon Hanfstaengl was born on February 3 1921 in New York City as the son of Ernst Hanfstaengl and Helene Hanfstaengl, neé Niemeyer. Hitler became his godfather. He had a sister, Hertha, who died at the age of 5. He received his school education in England and Germany, where he also joined the [[Hitler Youth|Hitler Youth (HJ)]].

He went to the United States to study and was also an American citizen from birth on. As the son of a prominent former top official of the [[NSDAP]], about whom the American press reported regularly, Hanfstaengl also came into the focus of the reporting. The [[New York Times]] announced the admission of the 18-year-old to [[Harvard University]]<ref>''Hitler Ex-Aide's Son in Harvard.'' In: ''New York Times'', 23. September 1939.</ref>. The newspaper also reported that he volunteered for the [[United States Army Air Corps]] in early [[1941]]<ref>''Hanfstaengl Jr. In Army; Harvard Man, Son of Ex-Nazi, Enlists in American Forces.'' In: ''New York Times, '' 30. Januar 1941.</ref><ref>[[Carlos Widmann]], [https://ift.tt/2vUkpQG Play it again, Putzi]. ''Der Spiegel'', 10/1999.</ref>. The news about Hanfstaengl's entry into the [[US Army]] also received attention from [[Minister of Propaganda]] [[Joseph Goebbels]], he made a corresponding entry in his diary<ref>''Die Tagebücher von Joseph Goebbels.'' Hrsg. Elke Fröhlich. T. I, Bd. 9. München 1998, S. 119.</ref>.

Journalist [[John Franklin Carter]], who, as a consultant to [[US President]] [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]], had psychological assessments prepared of some Nazi leaders, also asked Hanfstaengl's father and his son. When Hanfstaengl started working on a book about the HJ, Roosevelt, who knew his father Ernst Hanfstaengl from studying in Harvard, spontaneously dictated several paragraphs for a foreword, according to the Carters report<ref>Joseph E. Persico: ''Roosevelt's Secret War. FDR and World War II Espionage.'' New York 2002, S. 232.</ref>. According to American records, Hanfstaengl offered Roosevelt to travel to Hitler in the [[Berghof (residence)|Berghof]] near [[Berchtesgaden]] in [[1943]] to attack him, but the White House ignored this suggestion<ref>Joseph E. Persico: ''Roosevelt's Secret War. FDR and World War II Espionage.'' New York 2002, S. 332.</ref>.

After [[World War II]], Hanfstaengl was a lecturer in European and American history at [[Brooklyn College]] in New York. From [[1958]] until its dissolution in [[1980]], he was managing director of the art and publishing house Franz Hanfstaengl in [[Munich]]. As the godchild of Adolf Hitler, he appeared in several [[Adolf Hitler in popular culture|documentaries about Hitler]].
