Abstract:
Sandwiched between the American Revolution and the Civil War,the War of 1812 seldom merits our attention. Except for the burning of Washington and Jackson’s after-the-fact victory at New Orleans, few people know or remember much about it. To be honest, American military forces were not very successful during the conflict save for the warships of the tiny U. S. Navy. In singleship battles during the war, the Americans beat the British, the world’s greatest naval power, in six of seven encounters. The U.S.S. Wasp, a sloop-of-war under the command of North Carolinian Johnston Blakeley, won one of the most famous of those victories.

Abstract:
Zusammenfassung Gegenstand und Ziel: Diagnostik und Therapie einer Fruchtbarkeitsstörung bei einer Meerkatze. Material und Methoden: Fallbericht einer 13-jährigen Roloway-Diana-Meerkatze. Ergebnisse: Bei dem Tier, das mit einem geschlechtsreifen männlichen Tier zusammen im Zoo gehalten wurde, waren im Verlauf von 2 Jahren keine Deckakte beobachtet worden. In diesem Zeitraum wurden wiederkehrende, teilweise sehr starke und unregelmäßige Blutungen aus der Vagina festgestellt. Eine klinische Untersuchung sowie eine Ultraschalluntersuchung des Abdomens ergaben Hinweise auf eine Zubildung im Uterus. Nach der Ovariohysterektomie wurde pathomorphologisch ein Polyp im Endometrium mit einer Größe von 17 × 13 × 10 mm festgestellt. Diese benigne Neubildung war vermutlich für das Erscheinungsbild der unregelmäßigen und sehr variablen Blutung aus der Vagina verantwortlich. Nach der Ovariohysterektomie war das Tier gesund. Schlussfolgerung: Ähnlich wie bei der Frau kommen endometriale Zubildungen auch beim Affen vor. Klinische Relevanz: Anamnese, klinische Untersuchung und Ultraschalluntersuchung konnten das Krankheitsbild einer wiederkehrenden und unterschiedlich stark ausgeprägten vaginalen Blutung bei einer Meerkatze abklären.

Abstract:
It is well known that during the Cold War Britain was regarded as an unsinkable aircraft carrier; much less well known is the fact that this idea of the island as ship was first thought of by the British over a hundred years earlier when Ascension Island in the South Atlantic was officially regarded as a “Sloop of War of the smaller class.” The Bodleian Library of Commonwealth and African Studies has recently acquired a logbook of this “ship” for 1835, which sheds a fascinating light on life on the island during this period of naval occupation.Ascension Island was first discovered by the Portuguese in the early 16th century, but as it was so dry and barren (it was many years before a supply of fresh water was discovered on the island) it was neither settled nor much used as a source of supply for the East India fleets of Portugal, Holland or England.

Abstract:
Observations are presented on the features of the documentary and artistic organization of the book by V. M. Golovnin “Journey of Russian Imperial Sloop “Diana” from Kronstadt to Kamchatka...” (1819). Such issues as the thematic content of “Journey...”, the role of the author’s worldview in creating a single artistic whole, and the features of the aesthetic organization of documentary material are considered. The significance of the study is seen in the need to update the memory of the personality and literary work of V. M. Golovnin, an outstanding figure of Russian culture at the beginning of the 19th century. The presented material will allow supplementing with new facts the picture of the genre and style genesis of documentary and artistic genres in the Russian historical and literary process of the early 19th century. The relevance of the study is determined by the attention of modern literary criticism to the poetics of documentary and artistic genres. The novelty of the research is seen in the appeal to a little-known work of Russian literature of the first third of the 19th century. It is reported that the author showed the maritime way of life with its regulations, traditions, experience of intercultural communication. The work is considered in the main thematic lines: everyday life of a round-the-world sea expedition, seascape, battle studies, ethnographic sketches. It is noted that a value-semantic principle is revealed behind the empirical material, which gives the narrative artistic completeness and deeply brings Golovnin's “Journey ...” with the tradition of Russian classical literature.

Abstract:
In the 10-mer RNA duplex model system a 4-isocyano TEMPO spin-label is individually attached to one strand and two strands are annealed to measure distances. This methodology is limited to systems in which two oligonucleotides are annealed together. To circumvent this limitation and also to explore single-strand dynamics a new methodology was implemented, double spin-labeling. Double spin-labeled single-stranded RNA was investigated as a single-strand and within a duplex via MALDI-TOF-MS, EPR spectroscopy and RP-HPLC. A double spin-labeling strategy in this work will be applicable to large complex RNAs like Group I intron of Tetrahymena thermophilia. Captain Daniel Lawrence, was one of four sloops detailed to serve as a transport to supply the British Florida garrisons. The Industry ran aground on the bar outside of St. Augustine's harbour on May 6, 1764. The transport was carrying six-pound cannons, ammunition and artificer's tools. Further investigation of documents describing eighteenth-century trade and shipping to St. Augustine led to the discovery that the Lawrence family of sea captains provided a vital link between British New York and Spanish St. Augustine. An examination of the materials recovered from Site 8SJ3478 sheds light on exactly what a particular vessel carried during a period of transition in Florida's history.

Abstract On November 9, 1861, while Du Pont was writing Fox that his success at Port Royal was “more complete and more brilliant than I ever could have believed,” the twelve-gun sloop-of-war San Jacinto was cruising slowly in the Old Bahama Channel, off the north coast of Cuba, where the deep water south of the Great Bahama Bank narrowed to a width of less than fifteen miles. Named for the battle that had secured the independence of Texas in 1836, the San Jacinto was a fifteen-year-old screw steamer that had been ordered to take part in Du Pont’s attack on Port Royal.

Abstract:
Abstract In February 1815, a sloop arrived in New York harbor with first news of the signing of the Treaty of Ghent. Almost immediately, a spontaneous festival erupted, and for over a week, New Yorkers rejoiced at the expected return of commerce after four years of diplomatic wrangling and nearly three years of war. None were more jubilant than the city’s artisans. At closing time, masters, journeymen, and apprentices filled their shops with their finest wares and snake-danced tipsy through the streets, their paths lit by shimmering transparencies, of eagles and dollars spilling from a cornucopia, of brawny arms lifting mallets, above the legends “Peace, The Mechanic’s Friend” and “By Hammer And Hand All Arts Do Stand.” At dawn, they wobbled back to the shops, only to begin another round of patriotic toasting. An exultant artisan rhymester named Werckmeister caught the mood well with a pun: “Work is over, Peace is master I Friend ship ties her knot now faster.”

Abstract:
This chapter explores Lady Diana Beauclerk’s (1734-1808) rarely studied large-scale images of scenes from Edmund Spenser’s epic, The Faerie Queene, completed while she was in residence at Horace Walpole’s gothic mansion, Strawberry Hill. These remarkable watercolours depict key moments from the epic that focus on Spenser’s heroines in action. Borrowing from a variety of styles and techniques, the portraits are a blend of fantastical detail, global iconography, and au courant fashion trends. Lady Diana Beauclerk provides the spectator with a dazzling array of examples of the eclectic nature of eighteenth-century visual culture. In particular, her portrayal of Spenser’s Britomart as a powerful and striking Minerva figure capitalises on the associations between Minerva, the goddess of war and wisdom, and women’s intellectual and artistic accomplishments across visual and narrative materials. Although these watercolours have been largely unseen, I argue that we might be able to understand them as cleverly staged advertisements for Beauclerk’s work.

The chapter deals with the challenge faced by the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, as acting as manager of the Italian opera company at the Viennese court, to keep the company going during the war. The only first-rank singer was Adriana Ferrarese. The provided attendance figures show that the public could be enticed to the opera only with new singers. The second-tier prima donna Luigia Villeneuve made a successful debut in L’arbore di Diana and also played Cherubino in the revival of Le nozze di Figaro. Once Francesco Benucci returned from a stint in London, he lent his considerable support to Così fan tutte. Joseph died during Lent.

Abstract:
During the 1980s, the BBC triumphed in bringing the nation together, and linked up the globe, with great ‘media events’ like the wedding of Princess Charles and Lady Diana and, later, Live Aid. Yet the BBC also faced significant challenges. The governments of Margaret Thatcher imposed new financial discipline on the BBC, and its own managers introduced internal markets in an attempt to fend off even more fundamental reforms. The BBC also engaged in serious disputes with the government over its political journalism, ultimately leading to the sacking of the director general, Alasdair Milne. Under his successors, Michael Checkland and John Birt, the commercialization of the BBC’s international and domestic operations proceeded apace. Dwindling resources meanwhile left the BBC struggling to compete with ITV. Some staff felt that the basic values of the BBC had been betrayed, and that independent journalism and creativity in programme-making had been badly undermined. The World Service meanwhile played a significant role in the final years of the Cold War and its aftermath, but then struggled to find a role. As the 1990s drew to a close, the BBC actively engaged with the start of the digital media revolution. It also sought to develop a less deferential relationship with the monarchy, notably through Martin Bashir’s famous interview with Diana. Her death, and the BBC’s coverage of her funeral, showed that the days of the media event were not yet over.

Abstract:
Subject of the article’s study – ecumenism of Metropolitan Andrei Sheptytskyi and reflection of this phenomenon in the works of scientists and modern Ukrainian media. Main objective of the study: analyze what Ukrainian scientists, journalists and different media are writing about Sheptytkyi’s ecumenism. Methodology: We used a bibliographic method to accumulate factual material, a qualitative content analysis to isolate the ideas of ecumenism from the journalism of Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi, a cultural-historical method that made it possible to consider the ideas of ecumenism in the context of the era, the connection with the historical context, as well as methods of synthesis and generalization, induction and deduction. The study process description: In our scientific article, we analyzed the doctoral dissertation of His Beatitude Lubomyr Huzar entitled «Andrei Sheptytskyi, Metropolitan of Halytskyi (1901-1944). Herald of ecumenism». His Beatitude Lubomyr defended this fundamental work at the Pontifical Urbaniana University in Rome back in 1972. Therefore, we observed how this work reflects the historical prerequisites, features and development of Sheptytskyi’s ecumenism, who, according to His Beatitude Lubomir, was a kind of innovator in this field, a person who was ahead of his time. We also analyzed the reflections on the ecumenism of Sheptytskyi´s father, doctor Ivan Datsk, which are reflected in his book «In Search of Faithfulness and Truth». In addition, we turned to the scientific text «Ecumenism of Sheptytskyi» by professors Mykola Vegesh and Mykola Palinchak. Subsequently, it was analyzed how the scientific work became a useful basis for the coverage of Sheptytskyi’s ecumenism in the press. In particular, in the columns of the cultural and social site «Zbruch» in Diana Motruk’s article «In Search of Church Unity». We also turned to the «Spiritual Greatness of Lviv» website, where in 2020 an interview with Mykhailo Perun, who shot the film «Sheptytskyi: Relevant information», was published, illustrating the ecumenical initiatives of this figure. In addition, we analyzed the publication on Radio Svoboda for 2022, dedicated to the anniversary of Sheptytsky’s stepping into eternity. It is also mentioned there about of Sheptytskyi’s ecumenism as his landmark activity. Subsequently, we found an article on the website «Christian and the World», where in a conversation with the scientist Dr. Andrii Sorokovskyi entitled «Andrei Sheptytskyi believed that the union is a synthesis, communion and dialogue between the East and the West, – Andrii Sorokovskyi» also analyzed the phenomenon of Sheptytskyi’s ecumenism. Results: we discovered that Sheptytskyi’s ecumenism was studied not only by numerous scientists, but this meaningful legacy of his is a valuable phenomenon for media coverage. Therefore, Sheptytskyi’s ecumenism becomes the subject of interest of journalists not only of publications that write mainly on church topics, but also socio-political and artistic ones. We are sure that Sheptytskyi’s ecumenism will continue to be studied by professional scientists and representatives of the wider media community. Significance: journalism of a religious orientation, high-quality and substantiated coverage of religious processes and phenomena in the press is still something quite new for modern Ukraine. In Soviet times, journalists were afraid to write about religion in order not to incur the wrath of the authorities, so such materials could not be included in the press. That is why it is very important to study how today’s journalists cover important issues of religion, which, in addition, have a strong scientific basis. In addition, the development of ecumenism and religious unity are extremely important for building national unity, which is necessary for our state to effectively confront the enemy in full-scale war. Key words: ecumenism; Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytskyi; media; interreleigion cooperation; dialogue.
