Spyridon Marinatos (1901–1974) was a Greek archaeologist who
specialised in the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations of the Aegean
Bronze Age, and excavated the Minoan site of Akrotiri (fresco pictured)
on Thera between 1967 and 1974. He received several honours in Greece
and abroad, and was considered one of the most important Greek
archaeologists of his day. He joined the Greek Archaeological Service in
1919 and spent much of his early career on the island of Crete, where he
excavated several Minoan sites. He served three times as head of the
Greek Archaeological Service, including under the military junta which
ruled Greece between 1967 and 1974. He was an enthusiastic supporter of
the junta; in the late 1930s, he had been close to the dictatorial
regime of Ioannis Metaxas. Marinatos died while excavating at Akrotiri
in 1974, and is buried at the site.

The goblin shark is a rare species of deep-sea shark. Sometimes called a
"living fossil", it is the only extant representative of the family
Mitsukurinidae, a lineage 125 million years old. This species looks
unlike any other shark, with a long, flattened snout, highly protrusible
jaws containing prominent nail-like teeth and pink coloration. Its snout
is covered with ampullae of Lorenzini that enable it to sense minute
electric fields produced by nearby prey, which it can snatch up by
rapidly extending its jaws. It is usually three to four metres long (10
to 13 ft) when mature. Goblin sharks inhabit upper continental slopes,
submarine canyons and seamounts deeper than 100 metres (330 ft).
Anatomical features, such as its flabby body and small fins, suggest
that it is sluggish in nature. It hunts for teleost fishes, cephalopods
and crustaceans both near the sea floor and in the middle of the water
column. The International Union for Conservation of Nature has assessed
it as Least Concern.

Edgar (c. 944 – 8 July 975) was King of the English from 959 until
his death. He mainly followed the political policies of his predecessors
but made major changes in the religious sphere, with the English
Benedictine Reform becoming a dominant religious and social force. His
major administrative reform was the introduction of a standardised
coinage, and he issued legislative codes concentrated on improving the
enforcement of the law. After his death, the throne was disputed between
the supporters of his two surviving sons; Edward the Martyr was chosen
with the support of Dunstan, the archbishop of Canterbury. Chroniclers
presented Edgar's reign as a golden age when England was free from
external attacks and internal disorder. Modern historians see Edgar's
reign as the pinnacle of Anglo-Saxon culture but disagree about his
political legacy, and some see the disorders following his death as a
natural reaction to his overbearing control.

Weird Faith is the sixth studio album by the American singer-songwriter
Madi Diaz (pictured), released on February 9, 2024, on the record label
Anti-. The album followed her fifth studio album, History of a Feeling,
as well as tours with Angel Olsen, Waxahatchee, and Harry Styles. It was
written in Nashville and upstate New York, recorded in the latter by
Diaz and Sam Cohen, and produced by Diaz, Cohen, and Konrad Snyder.
Weird Faith has been described as an indie rock, indie folk, and indie
pop album. The album features sparse, acoustic arrangements that
highlight Diaz's lyrics and vocals, and it addresses themes of love,
trust, and intimacy. Critics positively reviewed the album, particularly
praising Diaz's emotional songwriting and the album's production. It was

Wintjiya Napaltjarri (c. 1923–1934 – 2014) was an Indigenous
artist from Australia's Western Desert region. Wintjiya's involvement in
contemporary Indigenous Australian art began in 1994 at Haasts Bluff
(pictured) when she participated in a group painting project and in the
creation of batik fabrics. She was also a printmaker, using drypoint
etching. Her paintings typically use an iconography that represents the
eggs of the flying ant (waturnuma) and hair-string skirts (nyimparra).
Her palette generally involves strong red or black against a white
background. A finalist in the 2007 and 2008 National Aboriginal & Torres
Strait Islander Art Awards, Wintjiya's work is held in several of
Australia's public collections, including the Art Gallery of New South
Wales, the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory, the

work is also held in the Kluge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Collection of the

The siege of Breteuil was the investment of the Norman town of Breteuil,
held by partisans of Charles II, King of Navarre, by French forces
between April and about 20 August 1356. It was interrupted on 5 July
when a small English army relieved and resupplied the town. The French
king, John II, attempted to bring the English to battle, but they evaded
him and the siege was renewed. The French attracted praise for the
splendour and high status of many of the participants, but made little
progress as the town was well-garrisoned and stocked with food for a
year. Attempts to mine under the walls were to no avail. In August a
large mobile siege tower was pushed up to the walls and an assault
launched, but the tower was set on fire and the attack repulsed with
many casualties. Taking Breteuil became a matter of prestige for John
and he refused to take the army south to face a major English offensive.
Eventually the garrison was given free passage and a huge bribe to
persuade them to depart.

George Washington was a Founding Father and the first president of the
United States. Born in Virginia, he opposed the perceived oppression of
the American colonists by the British Crown and was commander-in-chief
of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. After
being forced to retreat from New York City, he crossed the Delaware
River and won the battles of Trenton and Princeton. Washington led a
decisive victory at Yorktown, then served as president of the
Constitutional Convention that drafted the US Constitution. As
president, he set precedents for the office of president, such as
republicanism, a peaceful transition, and the two-term tradition.
Washington owned many slaves but opposed the practice near the end of
his life. His image is an icon of American culture and he has been
extensively memorialized. In both popular and scholarly polls, he is
consistently considered one of the greatest presidents in American
history.

Happy Feet was an emperor penguin who, in June 2011, arrived at Peka
Peka Beach in New Zealand's North Island after travelling about 3,200
kilometres (2,000 mi) from Antarctica. He was one of the northernmost
emperor penguins ever recorded outside of captivity and the second
emperor penguin to have been found in New Zealand. After arriving, he
ingested sand on the beach, mistaking it for snow, and filled his
stomach with it. He soon became unwell and was transported to Wellington
Zoo, where he was given a 50 per cent chance of survival. Most of the
sand was removed and he was kept at the zoo to recover. Happy Feet was
released in the Southern Ocean on 4 September 2011. He was fitted with
a satellite transmitter to track his location; this ceased transmission
on 9 September, possibly due to the transmitter falling off or the
penguin being preyed upon. Happy Feet's arrival and recovery attracted
worldwide media coverage. He was named after the 2006 film Happy Feet.

The Sonata for E♭ Alto Saxophone and Piano, Op. 19, was composed by
Paul Creston (pictured) in 1939. The sonata was commissioned by
Creston's frequent collaborator, the American saxophonist Cecil Leeson.
Creston began composition by June; it was completed by the end of August
and slated for publication in 1940, although this was postponed to 1945
due to World War II. The sonata is in three movements and takes around
thirteen minutes to perform. Its form follows a traditional, Classical-
era structure. The sonata as a whole is of considerable difficulty for
both players. Creston and Leeson premiered the sonata at the Carnegie
Chamber Hall on February 15, 1940. No critics were present at the
premiere, but the sonata's 1955 debut recording by Vincent Abato and
Creston received a mixed response. Most found the sonata enjoyable, but
there was criticism of a perceived simplistic and salon-like styling.

Maple syrup is a syrup usually made from the xylem sap of sugar maple,
red maple or black maple trees. In cold climates, these trees store
starch in their trunks and roots before the winter; the starch is then
converted to sugar that rises in the sap in the spring. Trees can be
tapped by boring holes into their trunks and collecting the sap. This is
processed by heating to evaporate some of the water, leaving the
concentrated syrup. Maple syrup was first collected and used by the
Indigenous people of North America; the practice was adopted by European
settlers. Quebec, Canada, is by far the largest producer, making about
three-quarters of the world's output. The syrup is graded based on its
density and translucency. Maple syrup is often eaten as an accompaniment
to food, as an ingredient in baking and as a sweetener and flavouring
agent. Maple syrup and the sugar maple tree are symbols of Canada and
several US states, in particular Vermont.
