Olga Lengyel (19 October 1908 – 15 April 2001) was a Hungarian Jewish prisoner at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, who later wrote about her experiences in her book Five Chimneys. She was the only member of her immediate family to survive the Holocaust.

Life and career
Lengyel was a trained surgical assistant in Cluj, Romania, working in the hospital where her husband, Dr Miklós Lengyel, was director. In 1944, she was deported with her husband, parents and two children to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp; she was the only member of her family to survive. She wrote about her experiences in a memoir, Five Chimneys: The Story of Auschwitz, first published in France in 1946 as Souvenirs de l'au-delà. (A later American paperback edition was entitled I Survived Hitler's Ovens; more recent editions have used the title Five Chimneys: A Woman Survivor's True Story of Auschwitz.)

In the memoir, Lengyel provides a chilling account of her encounter with Irma Grese, who mercilessly beat the most beautiful women in the camp, chose those who would be operated on by the SS doctor, and who would be sent to the gas chambers. She did so with great enthusiasm. She was quick to beat Lengyel, a Jew who had medical training and had been singled out to help the SS doctor. Ultimately, Lengyel was spared, but the chapter in which Grese is described ends on a chilling note. The survivor describes how she "saw Irma Greise [sic] coming from the Fuehrerstube, her whip in hand, to designate the next batch for the gas chamber". Her children were murdered in the gas chamber.

I cannot acquit myself of the charge that I am, in part, responsible for the destruction of my own parents and of my two young sons. The world understands that I could not have known, but in my heart the terrible feeling persists that I could have, I might have, saved them.

After the war, Lengyel immigrated to the United States, where she founded the Memorial Library chartered by the University of the State of New York. "The Library, headquartered in her elegant residence, is Olga's legacy, carrying on her mission of actively educating future generations about the Holocaust, other genocides, and the importance of human rights." She died of cancer in New York on 15 April 2001 at the age of 92.

Legacy
In 1954 she moved to Cuba with her second husband Gustav Aguire, which they had to flee during the Cuban revolution in 1959. The property of US citizens has been expropriated by the Cuban government, including their art collection. Claims for return were always ignored.
In New York in 1962, Lengyel donated the Memorial Library, which is dedicated to commemorating the Holocaust, under the care of the State University of New York in Manhattan. In her will, she bequeathed her property in Manhattan and the right to the art collection to the Memorial Library.
Following the political détente between the US and Cuba in 2015, the legal claims to the art collection were memorialized by the Memorial Library. According to the list drawn up by Lengyel, the collection includes works by Hans Memling, Anthony van Dyck, Francisco Goya and Edgar Degas.

In 2006, the Memorial Library began the Holocaust Educator Network, a national program for teachers committed to Holocaust education, especially in rural schools and small towns, in partnership with the National Writing Project's Rural Sites Network.

USS Jenks (DE-665) was a Buckley-class destroyer escort in service with the United States Navy from 1944 to 1946. She was scrapped in 1968.

Namesake
Henry Pease Jenks was born on 31 May 1914 in Chicago, Illinois. He enlisted in the United States Navy on 8 October 1940. He attended Hamilton College, in New York, graduating in 1936. After undergoing Reserve Officer training, he was appointed Ensign on 6 June 1941 and reported to cruiser , soon to be commissioned. In June 1942, Jenks served on Atlanta, during the Battle of Midway and later during the landings on Guadalcanal, first American amphibious operation of the war. In the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal, 13 November 1942, in which the Japanese move on the island was frustrated, Atlanta was torpedoed in the early stages of the action and damaged severely by enemy gunfire. She survived the night, but was scuttled next day off Lunga Point. Lieutenant (j.g.) Jenks was killed in the battle, for which his ship received the Presidential Unit Citation.

Construction and commissioning
Jenks was laid down by Dravo Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 12 May 1943; launched on 11 September 1943; sponsored by Mrs. M. L. Jenks. mother of Lieutenant (j.g.) Jenks; and commissioned at New Orleans, Louisiana, on 19 January 1944.

History
Following shakedown training out of Bermuda in February, the ship moved to the all-important Atlantic convoy lanes to act as an escort ship during the great buildup of men and supplies in Europe. She arrived at New York on 21 April after one such voyage to the United Kingdom in April. Following training exercises, she steamed to Norfolk, Virginia on 10 May and joined escort carrier  and her hunter-killer group under Captain Daniel V. Gallery. The ships sortied 15 May bound for the Atlantic shipping lanes in quest of German U-boats. After two weeks of searching, the group was headed toward Casablanca when on 4 June it detected  and closed for the attack. An accurate depth charge attack by  brought the submarine to the surface, where her crew abandoned ship. Immediately, a well-planned boarding action commenced; and, despite the danger from damage and German booby traps, salvage parties succeeded in saving the submarine. Jenks picked up survivors from the U-boat, and her boat went alongside to take off valuable bridge publications. Through skillful damage control work the captured submarine, a major intelligence find, was gotten safely and secretly to Bermuda.

Jenks returned from this history-making cruise 16 June and arrived at New London, Conn. on 28 June to serve as a training ship. She remained on this duty until late July, and departed Norfolk the 31st with another convoy to the Mediterranean. In the months that followed the ship made four escort voyages to African ports, helping to protect the vital flow of supplies and men. Between assignments she engaged in training out of Casco Bay, Maine.

Jenks reached Boston on her final convoy voyage 19 May 1945, the war against the European foe then over. The ship underwent much-needed voyage repairs at Boston Navy Yard and then sailed to Miami, Florida, arriving 8 June to serve as school ship for the Naval Training Center. In August she took part in training exercises in the Caribbean. Jenks continued peacetime operations out of Charleston, S.C. and Key West, Fla. until arriving Green Cove Springs, Fla., 2 May 1946. She decommissioned on 26 June entered the Atlantic Reserve Fleet, and was later moved to the Texas Group, where she remained until she was struck from the Navy List on 1 February 1966 and scrapped.

Jenks received two battle stars for World War II service, in addition to the Presidential Unit Citation for taking part in the capture of U-505.

Gorgopas was a Spartan commander during the Corinthian War. In 388 BC Hierax was dispatched by Sparta to Aegina to take over the Spartan fleet. The Spartans under the command of Teleutias had earlier driven off the Athenian fleet blockading Aegina. Soon after taking over, Hierax departed for Rhodes with most of the fleet leaving Gorgopas, his vice-admiral with twelve triremes as governor in Aegina, replacing Eteonicus who held the post before. Gorgopas continued operations against the Athenian army led by Pamphilius who was still laying siege to the city. He ultimately forced Athens to send ships to evacuate their land forces from the area. Gorgopas then went on to harass the Athenian territory from his base in Aegina.

Not long afterwards, Gorgopas took his fleet to Ephesus to escort Antalcidas who was sent to replace Hierax as admiral. Upon completing his mission, on the way back to Aegina he encountered the Athenian fleet under Eunomus. Gorgopas retreated and was able to make it back to the port in Aegina. After unsuccessfully trying to bait Gorgopas to come out and fight, the Athenians sailed away at night fall. The lead Athenian ship carried a customary light which the other ships could follow. Gorgopas, keeping his ships dark, followed the light of the Athenian ship. He was able to surprise the Athenian fleet as it passed close to shore around Cape Zoster. The Spartans captured four triremes and forced the rest of the Athenian ships to retreat to Piraeus.

Gorgopas was killed in an ambush later that year. One Athenian unit under Chabrias lay in ambush while another under Demaenetus drew Gorgopas out of Aegina and into the trap by openly marching through the area.

The Diocese of Carpi () is a Latin diocese of the Catholic Church in Emilia Romagna, Italy. It is a suffragan of the Archdiocese of Modena-Nonantola.

History

The city and territory of Carpi belonged originally to the Countess Matilda (1046–1115), from whom it passed in 1115 to the Holy See. From 1215 to 1319 it was subject to Modena and from then until 1525 was ruled by the Pio family, vassals of the Holy See.

Under Pope Julius II (1512) and Pope Leo X (1515) the Archpriesthood of the Collegiate Church of Carpi, and its territory, became immediately dependent on the Holy See, nullius dioecesis, having previously been under the jurisdiction of the diocese of Modena.

Carpi was created a see only in 1779, by Pope Pius VI, in the Bull Inter plurimas and assigned as a suffragan to the diocese of Bologna. The right of nomination of a bishop during a vacancy was granted to the Duke of Modena, provided that a nomination was made within a time fixed by the pope. The new Cathedral was assigned a Chapter, which was to consist of four dignities (the Archpriest, the Archdeacon, the Provost, and the Dean) and seventeen Canons. The town (oppidum) of Carpi was raised to the status of a city (civitas).

The first bishop was the former Jesuit, Francesco Benincasa, whose Religious Order had been dissolved by Pope Clement XIV in 1773. Benincasa protested so loudly and publicly that he was arrested on 25 December 1773, and was jailed until 12 September 1775. Benincasa was consecrated a bishop on 9 April 1780 by the Bishop of Modena, Giuseppe Maria Fogliani. He was assigned a part of the ducal residence as his episcopal palace.

In 1855 the diocese of Carpi was made a suffragan of the diocese of Modena by Pope Pius IX.

In 1922, the diocese had a Catholic population of c. 78,000, with 31 parishes; there were 78 diocesan priests, 4 priests of Religious Orders, 18 seminarians, 4 brothers and 54 sisters. The diocese in 2018 has thirty-nine parishes, including the cathedral parish.

The Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study is one of three Los Angeles-area facilities of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, located at 1313 Vine Street in central Hollywood. Precisely situated in the heart of Hollywood, the building site is endowed with terrific history of Hollywood. It is the oldest surviving structure in Hollywood that was designed specifically with television in mind. In addition to the 286-seat Linwood Dunn Theater, where numerous public events are presented throughout the year, the building houses several Academy departments, including the Academy Film Archive, the Science and Technology Council, and the Grants and Nicholl Fellowship programs.

History
Although the Academy Film Archive was not officially established until 1991, the Academy started storing film prints and archival papers soon after the first Oscars ceremony in 1929, when members began donating materials to the organization. In 1948, a committee of Academy members launched a campaign to acquire all past Oscar-winning and nominated–films, along with many others. In 1994, this officially became the rule at the Academy, with all films stored at the Archive.

Originally located at the Margaret Herrick Library, the Archive moved to Vine Street in 2002 when the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study opened. The building was constructed in 1948 as a radio and television studio and is the oldest surviving studio building in Los Angeles. First called the Don Lee Mutual Broadcasting Building and originally dedicated on August 18, 1948, as studios for the Mutual-Don Lee Broadcasting System, it was owned by CBS and then by ABC, and it was used for taping series such as The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game, and Barney Miller, among others.

After it was acquired by the Academy in 2000 and remodeled, the building was renamed in 2002 after Mary Pickford, a founding member of the Academy. The facility’s upgrades included constructing temperature-controlled storage spaces and a state-of-the-art fire suppression system. The renovations also included the addition of the 286-seat Linwood Dunn Theater, named after a visual effects pioneer, to accommodate public programming and screenings of Award-eligible films for Academy members. Additionally, the building houses the offices of several Academy departments, including those responsible for the Academy’s larger public programming efforts, the Student Academy Awards, the Nicholl Screenwriting Fellowship, and the Academy Gold internship program.

Present
Today, the Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study is the home of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Film Archive, which holds over 230,000 items, making it one of the most diverse and extensive motion picture collections in the world. The Archive maintains all Academy Award–winning films in the Best Picture and Documentary categories as well as many other Oscar-nominated films across categories. It also houses the personal collections of filmmakers such as Tacita Dean, Cecil B. DeMille, Barbara Hammer, Alfred Hitchcock, Jim Jarmusch, Penelope Spheeris, George Stevens, Gus Van Sant, and Fred Zinnemann.

As one of the Academy’s research and preservation arms, the Pickford also plays an important role in the pre-production of every Academy Awards ceremony.

Works
During the 1970s, Vatz published the article, "The Myth of the Rhetorical Situation," in the journal Philosophy and Rhetoric. In it, he critiqued Lloyd Bitzer's 1968 article "The Rhetorical Situation" in the same journal and this has served as the basis for his world view on persuasion; namely, that rhetorical study is conceived most advantageously for the field through a model of competition for agenda and spin, not as controlled by some objective view of reality. Vatz maintains that the latter view makes rhetorical study simply a copy and mouthpiece of other social sciences, fields that are anti-rhetorical.

In January 2009, Vatz published a follow-up piece to the "Myth" article in the NCA's January, 2009, Review of Communication. The article was titled "The Mythical Status of Situational Rhetoric: Implications for Rhetorical Critics’ Relevance in the Public Arena." Vatz argued there that the "Myth" perspective was the appropriate rhetorical approach to the study of persuasion. In contrast, the perspective offered in "The Rhetorical Situation" was anathema to the academic status of rhetorical study, as it implied that situations caused the production of rhetoric rather than high-ethos rhetoricians' choices.  This caused what audiences perceived as dominant situations and their meaning.

In 2012, Vatz published The Only Authentic Book of Persuasion: the Agenda-Spin Model and a new co-edited book Thomas Szasz:  The Man and His Ideas and others. He has also published articles on political rhetoric and media criticism in The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Washington Times and The Los Angeles Times.  Vatz has presented hundreds of convention papers and panels at the National Communication Association and Eastern Communication Association (ECA), the SSCA, and elsewhere, including regular analyses of political rhetoric in seminars at the NCA with progressive colleagues.

Media appearances
Vatz has appeared on CNN’s Crossfire, Larry King Live, The Phil Donahue Show, and William F. Buckley's Firing Line.  He appeared for over forty years as a guest on WBAL Radio in Baltimore. He has recently appeared on Fox television in Baltimore and Washington.

He has also appeared frequently on WBFF-TV, WMAR-TV, primarily on their talk show "Square Off" hosted by Richard Sher, Maryland Public Television, WJZ-TV, and WBAL-TV.

Over his career Vatz published in The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, The Los Angeles Times and multiple other publications; he wrote and writes on conservative perspectives generally.

Vatz was a blogger for Red Maryland and blogged several pieces a year on national conservative perspectives on rhetorical theory, media criticism and contemporary political issues.

Hisarönü is a tourist resort in the Fethiye district of the Muğla Province of Turkey. It is part of the neighbourhood Ölüdeniz. It is situated at the western extreme of the Mediterranean coast of Turkey and the southern extreme of the Aegean coast. The resort has grown from a very basic village in 1990 to the large resort with its neighbor Ovacık since then. In 1992, the road through Hisaronu to Kayaköy was paved for the first time.

Hisarönü was originally intended to provide accommodation for nearby Ölüdeniz (where new building work is quite restricted), but has now become a holiday resort in its own right and is popular with British holidaymakers in particular.

Hisarönü is accessiable via Dalaman Airport approx 1hr transfer time. A good number of hotels in the Hisarönü and Ovacik area accommodate mainly British tourists.

The main strip in Hisarönü is mainly textile clothing shops selling a range of designer wear at a discounted price. This also includes sunglasses, watches as well as hair and beauty.

Notable venues include:

The Dead Mountaineer's Hotel (Russian: Отель «У Погибшего Альпиниста») is a 1970 Soviet science fiction novel written by brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. In 2015, Melville House published an English translation by Josh Billings as part of their Neversink Library collection. The novel heavily incorporates elements of detective fiction as it follows Inspector Peter Glebsky as he attempts to solve a classic locked-room mystery. However, the novel subverts common mystery novel tropes, and flouts the second of Ronald Knox's "Ten Commandments" of the detective genre: "All supernatural or preternatural agencies are ruled out as a matter of course."The novel has been adapted as a video game in 2009, as well as for the screen in 1979.

Plot summary
The novel begins when Inspector Peter Glebsky, eager to get away from work and family life, takes a two-week vacation to the titular hotel. He is greeted by the hotel's owner Alek Snevar, who tells Glebsky the story of the dead mountaineer. After settling in, Glebsky meets some of the hotel's other guests. First, he meets Mr. du Barnstoker, a famous magician who is accompanied by his late brother's child Brun, an adolescent of indeterminate sex, and the physicist Simon Simone. Over a meal and conversation about the theoretical possibility of alien visitation, Glebsky learns that the guests have been victim to a number of pranks. The conversation is brought to a halt by the arrival of two more guests, the perpetually drunk Mr. Moses and his beautiful wife. The next day brings more guests: Olaf Andvarafors and Hinkus. The day also brings more pranks, such as a mysterious note that indicates that the sickly Hinkus is actually a gangster intent on the murder of one of the inn's guests. Glebsky investigates Hinkus' room and finds Mr. Moses' gold watch in a suspicious trunk, but a later conversation with Hinkus indicates that those items may have been planted.

That night, an avalanche blocks the entrance to the valley, cutting the guests off from the nearest town. Shortly afterward a strange man arrives at the door and asks for Olaf before fainting. After installing the stranger in a vacant room, they find Olaf Andvarafors dead in his room, his door locked from the inside. His hand is reaching toward a suitcase containing a mysterious device.

Glebsky then begins an investigation and finds Hinkus tied up under a table. Hinkus refuses to identify his attacker. A little later, Du Barnstoker admits to being responsible for a large number of the pranks, although he denies having anything to do with the note concerning Hinkus. Glebsky then runs into Simone. When questioned, Simone falls apart and denies having killed Mrs. Moses, alerting Glebsky to a possible second murder. Glebsky takes Simone to Mrs. Moses' room, where they find her alive, reading a book. When questioned, Simone also admits to some pranks. After Simone, Glebsky questions each of the inn's guests, as well as Snevar. Snevar reveals that, while checking in the Moses', he discovered a mannequin of Mrs. Moses in their room. Glebsky infers that this mannequin must be what Simone encountered when he thought he found Mrs. Moses dead.

Glebsky begins a search of the inn, and, as he does so, the stranger wakes up. He claims that he is named Luarvik L. Luarvik, and demands to see Olaf, to confirm that he is dead. After, he demands to have Olaf's suitcase containing the strange device. He insists that Olaf was not murdered, but instead was killed by the mysterious device, and insists he be allowed to take it away to disarm it. He attempts unsuccessfully to bribe Glebsky to allow him to do this.

Hinkus then admits to Glebsky that he is, in fact, a gangster. He was sent to the inn by his boss, "Champion," in order to track down a man known as "Beelzebub", and his female accomplice. He explains that Beelzebub is a man of extraordinary power, and that his accomplice possesses superhuman strength. After ascertaining that they must be aliens from another planet, Champion blackmailed them to aid his gang in a couple of high-profile robberies, after which Beelzebub ran away. Hinkus says that he had requested Champion's presence at the inn, but that the avalanche prevented Champion from getting there. He expects his boss to commandeer a plane from a local airfield, and kill everyone at the inn.

Simone, meanwhile, has been conducting his own investigation. He speaks to Mr. Moses and Luarvik L. Luarvik and they reveal that they are aliens. The device in Olaf's possession is an "accumulator," which Olaf and Mrs. Moses, both of whom are robots, rely on for power. Moses speaks to Glebsky and says that he is an observer for an alien race. He reveals that he wrote the note about Hinkus, and asks that the device be delivered to him so that he and Luarvik can escape before Champion shows up. Glebsky, still incredulous, refuses, and so Snevar and Simone restrain him and take the device by force. After reviving Olaf, Luarvik and the Moses' attempt a getaway, but are met by a helicopter piloted by Champion and are gunned down.

Background
The Dead Mountaineer’s Inn is the 17th novel by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky. It was originally published in 1970 in Russian, under the title Отель «У Погибшего Альпиниста». The book was translated into English in 2015 by Josh Billings. It was published by Melville Publishing House as part of their Neversink Library collection. When the book was initially published, the Strugatsky's had fallen from favor with Soviet publishers, and most of their work was being serialized in magazines, rather than published by major houses. The Dead Mountaineer’s Hotel, however, being for the most part free of political commentary, reached publication with only minor adjustments made by censors of the time. The first publication saw the novel's gangsters transformed into neo-Nazis, and a 1983 edition saw several cuts and edits made in a children's edition, in an effort to coordinate with an anti-alcoholism campaign.

Adaptations
The story has been adapted into the Soviet Estonian film "Hukkunud Alpinisti" hotell, directed by Grigori Kromanov at Tallinnfilm in 1979. The Strugatsky brothers wrote the screenplay themselves, although some of their initial attempts were turned down by directors.

In 2009, the novel was adapted into a point and click adventure game by the Russian software company Akella.  It was to be released for North America and Western Europe by the now defunct publisher Lighthouse Interactive. On 28 October 2011 an English-language version of the game was made available on online games store Steam.

Siegessäule is Berlin's most widely distributed queer magazine and has been published monthly, except for two brief hiatuses, since April 1984. Originally only available in West Berlin, it ran with the subtitle "Berlin's monthly page for Gays". In 1996, it was broadened to include lesbian content, and in 2005 it was expanded to reach a wider queer target base, becoming the only magazine of its scale in Europe to represent the full spectrum of the LGBT community. The magazine is available for free at around 700 locations in Berlin, printing 53.688 copies per month (verified third quarter 2016). Since March-issue 2013, it has been overseen by chief editor Jan Noll.

History
On February 29, 1984, the idea for a gay city magazine came up on the protocol of a meeting of gay groups in Berlin at the Prinz Eisenherz bookstore on Bülowstraße, and the magazine's first official meeting took place at the gay nightclub  on Kulmer Straße. The first edition was published by "Freunde der Siegessäule e.V.", released in April in a run of 1,000 copies, containing 16 pages, for the price of one Deutsche Mark. The name was not easily agreed upon, with Siegessäule finally chosen in reference to the Berliner memorial, the Victory Column.

Siegessäule was one of the earliest German publications to report regularly on AIDS and HIV. In December 1985, it printed a groundbreaking special edition under the title "AIDS – The Dimension of a Disease" in which the current state of research and socio-political debates were summarized – by gay men, for gay men. With contributions by Rosa von Praunheim, Matthias Frings, Peter Hedenström, Elmar Kraushaar and Karl-Heinz Albers – the booklet was available for free, funded by a grant from the Berliner CDU's senator of health, Ulf Fink.

After the September 1989 issue (then costing 4 Deutsche Marks), the magazine discontinued until November 1990 when the nationwide gay publication magnus issued it as a supplement in their magazine. Aside from that, Siegessäule was distributed for free amongst the city's scene. At this point, it contained eight pages and listed 216 gay-related events. Within a few months, editors Micha Schulze and Dirk Evenson expanded the editorial content of the supplement, and the number of pages to 24.

When the publishing house went bankrupt in 1995, magnus and with it Siegessäule were acquired by publisher and journalist Reiner Jackwerth. In 1996, magnus was permanently discontinued. Siegessäule was reborn as an independent city magazine, and has remained available for free since then, funded by advertising. The new chief editors, Manuela Kay (starting in 1996) and Peter Polzer (1997), officially turned the previously "gay" publication into a "gay/lesbian" one with 80 pages in a circulation of 40,000 copies. Over the course of the 90s, Siegessäule became a more serious journalistic medium and the mouthpiece of the city's gay and lesbian scene.

In 2005, Holger Wicht took over as the chief editor, relaunching the magazine's tagline of "gay/lesbian" with "queer", manifesting its intent to represent a wider spectrum of the LGBT community in its content. Sirko Salka took over as chief editor in 2008, continuing this increasingly inclusive direction. Upon its 25th anniversary in March 2009, then-mayor Klaus Wowereit declared Siegessäule the "journalistic flagship of Berlin's gay-lesbian community".

In 2012, Special Media SDL, the publishing firm newly founded by Gudrun Fertig and Manuela Kay, took over the magazine. That autumn, Siegessäule began running its calendar of events bilingually, in German and English. The duo of Jan Noll and Christian Reinthal stepped up as chief editors for the March 2013 issue, and increased the amount of English content starting with the relaunch of the magazine in October 2014, celebrating its 30th anniversary. Now with the tagline "We are queer Berlin", Siegessäule is Berlin's queer, German-English city magazine averaging around 100 pages per issue, and the most widely distributed periodical of its kind in the world.

Jan Noll has been the sole chief editor as of the May 2017 issue.

Print
Siegessäule reports monthly on queer-relevant topics including politics, community, film, music, literature and theater. With around 1,500 events listed each month, Siegessäule has one of the most extensive regional calendars within Germany's queer media landscape. Other free printed items bearing the magazine's brand, including Kompass, the gay-lesbian business directory for Berlin. Siegessäule has also published special editions for Berlin Pride, the Teddy Award queer film prize, World AIDS Day and the BLF leather/fetish convention. In November 2015, Siegessäule took on the responsibility of printing the magazine for the annual "Kunstler gegen Aids" ("Artists Against AIDS") gala benefiting the community's AIDS support organization.

Online
Siegessäule has had an online presence since January 1997. In 2008 Gudrun Fertig turned the website into a comprehensive resource with its own editorial department, a constantly updated event calendar and a detailed directory of city locations. With its 2013 relaunch came a bilingual event calendar (German and English) and a mobile version. Currently, the Siegessäule editorial team is responsible for website's content with daily updates.

Logo
The magazine's logo has changed several times over the years. The current logo has been used since the October 2014 relaunch. Celebrating the magazine's 30-year history, it uses a bolder variant of the font from the original 1984 logo (which was originally in italics).

Campaigns
In its May 2006 issue, Siegessäule urged its readers to join the Parada Równości (Warsaw Pride) to show solidarity with LGBT people in Poland with its difficult political situation.

On various occasions, such as Lesbian-Gay City Festival and in 2016 at the monthly Siegessäule lounge night, the magazine collected donations for queer NGOs and projects such as Queer Amnesty, Schwulenberatung, LesMigraS, MILES and Women in Exile.

In April 2016, Siegessäule joined L-MAG (its nationwide sister publication under Special Media SDL) in a Berliner initiative gathering queer media to take a stand against rising right-wing political parties.

Awards
From 1993 through 2015, Siegessäule awarded the Else, a prize that offered up to 1,000 euros to the winning film, chosen by readers of the magazine and a jury. The Else was an official award of the Berlinale (Berlin International Film Festival).

At Siegessäule's annual drag contest, which took place every Easter 2009–2014 at the queer nightclub SchwuZ, the prize for best drag performer was awarded.

Events
Aside from various big parties in the 1990s and early 2000s, Siegessäule hosted several Panel discussions and events related to the topic such as lesbian visibility, discrimination within the community and Hepatitis C.

From 2010 to 2013, Siegessäule and SchwuZ organized the Queer Noises Festival, a platform to showcase bands and artists from the local queer scene and beyond.

For the magazine's 30th anniversary, Siegessäule and the Gay Museum created the exhibition "30 Years of Siegessäule", in which all issues from publication's back catalog, along with other visual material from its archives, were on display and available to read.

Controversy
In November 2003, Siegessäule had a cover story about the coming-out of young gays and lesbians in Berlin's Turkish-Muslim community. The cover depicted a Turkish flag accompanied by the headline "Türken raus!" ("Turks out!") – a play on words with the emancipatory process of coming "out of the closet", but also provocatively reminiscent of a call for them to "get out" of the country. This caused backlash from the queer and Turkish communities.

In its May 2006 issue, when Siegessäule urged its readers to join Warsaw Pride in solidarity with LGBT Poles, it depicted the Polish cartoon characters Bolek and Lolek as homosexual activists. The cover image attracted great attention in Poland and was opposed by Polish organizations, citizens and the copyright holders.

In the schism of Berlin Pride in 2014, which led to three different demonstrations/parades, Siegessäule published a satirical piece titled "Which Pride type are you? Siegessäule helps you choose the right demo". It prompted strong negative reactions in parts of the Berlin community.

Avalski Venac (Cyrillic: Авалски венац) is a proposed municipality of the City of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia.

Movement

Movement for creation of the municipality began in 1996 and was enhanced since 2002 and successful campaigning for the re-creation of the municipality of Surčin, which split from the municipality of Zemun, almost 40 years after it was annexed to Zemun. Originally, the movement sought to re-create to former municipality of Ripanj, which was annexed to the municipality of Voždovac and now constitutes its southern part, which is at the most distant almost  away from the municipal seat. It should constitute from the rural settlements of Ripanj, Beli Potok, Zuce and Pinosava, all in the municipality of Voždovac, but also including Vrčin, in the municipality of Grocka. All settlements are located on the slopes of the Avala mountain, distant from their municipal seats and have similar communal problems, notably the notorious summer's water shortages. The combined population of the settlements is 27,556 by the 2022 census of population.

Official proceedings

In September 2007 an official motion was started by the municipality of Voždovac to create new municipality and in October 2007 municipal assembly began construction of the building in central Beli Potok which would serve as an outer representation of the assembly and the future municipal seat if new municipality is to be created. The new administrative center was finished in April 2008. President of the municipal assembly Goran Lukačević said that the opinions of the population will ensue soon and that inhabitants of the neighborhood of Resnik in the municipality of Rakovica will be also asked to join the new municipality.

At the time, the motion was supported by the local administration headed by the Democratic Party at the time, but not by the members of the same party on the city level. The new municipality was also proposed by the political party G17 Plus in 2010 and New Party in 2015. The coalition Moramo, during the April 2022 campaign for the local elections in Belgrade, favored formation of the municipality, but also of several others.

After the change in city government in 2014, a commission for the change of the City Statute was formed. It was announced in 2015 and 2016 that the new statute will also deal with the administrative division, but as of October 2017 nothing changed. In October 2017, Belgrade's Administrative secretariat disclosed that the notions for the creation of the municipalities of Dunavski Venac, Avalski Venac and Kaluđerica were applied, but that all three were in a discord with the City statute.

Jeune Haiti ("Young Haiti") was a group of Haitian exiles active in New York during the 1960s. In 1964 they launched an unsuccessful attempt to overthrow the regime of François Duvalier, also known as Papa Doc.

1964 overthrow attempt
Thirteen young Haitians calling themselves "Jeune Haiti" landed on August 5 or 6th 1964 at Petite-Rivière-de-Dame-Marie, Haiti, with the intention of overthrowing the Duvalier regime. The group consisted of Max Armand, his brother Jacques Armand, Gérald Marie Brierre, Miko Chandler, Louis Drouin, Charles Forbin, Jean Gerdes, Réginald Jourdan, Yvon Laraque, Marcel Numa, Roland Rigaud, Gusle Villedrouin and Jacques Wadestrandt.

Over the next three months, eleven members were killed in combat with the thousands of members of Haiti's army sent to capture them; the other two were captured and executed. The last survivors of the group had walked over 200 km between landing at Dame-Marie in August and their final stand at Ravine à Roche in October.

Shortly after the landing, Yvan Laraque, was shot and killed in the area of Chambellan, near the town of Jérémie which Jeune Haiti was attempting to reach. The regime placed his body on public display for several days on a major Port-au-Prince street, accompanied by the sign "Welcome to Haiti".

On September 8, Gérald Brièrre (the head of the group), Charles Alfred Forbin and Jacques Wadestrandt were killed at Dallest in a firefight against the USMC trained "bataillon tactique".

On September 14, Jacques and Max Armand were killed at Pic Formand.

On September 27, Marcel Numa was arrested at the Coteaux public market where he had come disguised as a peasant, to buy food for his comrades.

On September 29, at Martinet, Jean Gerdès and Mirko Chandler were wounded in battle. Chandler reportedly asked Jourdan, his best friend, to kill him, while Gerdès committed suicide.

The four survivors began to march east, possibly to reach the Dominican Republic. Louis Drouin was wounded on October 16 and taken prisoner.

On October 26, Guslé Villedrouin, Roland Rigaud and Réginald (Bobby) Jourdan were killed during a gunfight at Ravine à Roche, near the town of l’Asile.

Louis Drouin and Marcel Numa, who had both been captured alive after running out of ammunition, were brought to Port-au-Prince on a Haitian coast guard PT boat. On November 12, 1964 the local schools were shut and principals ordered to bring their students to witness their execution. Drouin and Numa were shot to death by firing squad against the wall of the national cemetery.

The Jérémie Vespers
Several of the group were from the town of Jérémie, and the regime ordered reprisals against their family members. Between August and October 1964 at least 27 people ranging from 2 to 85 years old were murdered in a massacre called the Jérémie Vespers. The true number of people murdered in the Jérémie Vespers may be in the hundreds. Many others were not killed, but were imprisoned, raped, tortured and expelled from the region. Several local families, including the Sansaricq and Drouin families, were wiped out.

Impact
Although the force consisted of only thirteen fighters, they had some military success and were initially seen by the regime as posing a real threat. Brenda Gayle Plummer notes that the fighters “fought ten engagements [and] downed a Haitian military plane”, and argued that the invasion "marked the last time that filibusters truly threatened the regime, although coup attempts continued".

Haitian journalist and political activist Raymond Alcide Joseph cited the public executions of Drouin and Numa as having changed the course of his life: "When Papa Doc declared a national holiday, closed the schools, and brought the children out to watch the execution, I didn’t see any further need for me to work for a PhD and go back home. I decided right then and there to put my knowledge to work fighting the regime, and I came to New York in 1965 to help organize the Haitians."

S-TADIL J, or Satellite TADIL J, is a real-time Beyond Line-of-Sight (BLOS) Tactical Digital Information Link (TADIL) supporting the exchange of the same J Series message set that is implemented on Link-16 via the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System (JTIDS). S-TADIL J provides for robust continuous connectivity between Navy ships that are beyond JTIDS line-of-sight (LOS) transmission range. S-TADIL J is designed to  support and significantly improve long-range TADIL connectivity between widely dispersed fleet operational forces. With the deployment of S-TADIL J, operational units will  have three possible data link paths that can be used to support multi-ship data link-coordinated operations. S-TADIL J supports the same levels of surveillance and weapon coordination data exchange provided by Link-11 and Link-16. The TADIL J message standard is implemented on S-TADIL J to provide for the same level of information content as Link-16.

Change of terminology
In the US, the term Tactical Digital Information Link (TADIL) is obsolete (per DISA guidance) and is now more commonly known as Tactical Data Link (TDL).

A tactical data link (TDL) uses a data link standard in order to provide communication via radio waves or cable used by NATO nations. All military C3 systems use standardized TDL to transmit, relay and receive tactical data.

Multi-TDL network (MTN) refers to the network of similar and dissimilar TDLs integrated through gateways, translators, and correlators to bring the common tactical picture and/or common operational picture together.

Change of terminology

The term tactical digital information link (TADIL) was made obsolete (per DISA guidance) and is now more commonly seen as tactical data link (TDL).

Tactical data link character

TDLs are characterized by their standard message and transmission formats.  This is usually written as <Message Format>/<Transmission Format>.

TDL standards in NATO
In NATO, tactical data link standards are being developed by the Data Link Working Group (DLWG) of the Information Systems Sub-Committee (ISSC) in line with the appropriate STANAG.

Synopsis of TDL links
In NATO, there exist tactical data link standards as follows:

Margeride (in Auvergnat ) is a mountainous region of France, situated in the Massif Central, inside the départements of Cantal, Haute-Loire and Lozère.

Location
In Cantal, its western boundary is the Truyère, and its eastern boundary, in Haute-Loire, by the gorges of the river Allier. To the south, in Lozère, It is the Lot which delimits the region.

Geology
The lithology of area is manly granitoids and gneiss. The highest peaks are the Signal de Randon at 1,551 metres and the Mont Mouchet at 1,465 metres.

Other details
In the 18th century the Margeride was terrorised by the Beast of Gévaudan. The beast of Gévaudan was a French legend, that supposedly takes on the appearance of a large wolf like creature. This creature is fabled to be very powerful and possessive almost like a demonic spirit. A normal man or woman (human) can open their bodies up to be possessed by the beast of Gévaudan () by drinking the water out of the footprint of a wolf, they must drink the water straight off the ground during a full moon. Once the spirit of  took possession of the persons body they would experience memory blanks, loss of time which they cannot account for, fuge states, aggression, confusion, delusions and hallucinations. Supposedly  was born from a continued line of werewolves, where the male of each generation would have the wolf gene in their DNA and during a blood moon they would pass on the wolf power through a bite. La Bête was first fabled to be in the body of a man named Jeziah Lou-Silvré and his sister was the one who killed him with a single spear crafted from mountain ash and mistletoe. The spirit of La Bête is the most powerful legend in France and when someone drinks the water from the print of a wolf and becomes La Bête their person gradually ceases to exist, their memories, their very essence is replaced by that of Jeziah Lou-Silvré and his spirit seeks vengeance on all hunters and descendants of his sister (the bloodline of Lou-Silvré), the name Silvré can be translated to mean Silver which is coincidentally the fabled element capable of killing a werewolf, however silver doesn't kill a wolf but simply weakens it...La Bête went after the modern descendants of his family who had the names of Silver, Silvré, Argent, Silgente. Jeziahs' sister was also known as the Maid of Gévaudan.

The area was a stronghold of the French Resistance in the Second World War. It was from here that the Resistance worked to delay German reinforcements travelling north after the D-Day landings.

Today the area contains a museum of ecology, and a park with a herd of rare European Bison.

The Toronto Rockets were a professional soccer team based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada that competed in the American Professional Soccer League during the 1994 season, with their home stadium at Centennial Park Stadium.

History
After the 1993 APSL season, the Toronto Blizzard folded and were replaced by the North York Rockets, who had played in the Canadian National Soccer League. This edition of the Rockets's roster was a combination of the 1993 Rockets and Toronto Blizzard, with players coming from both squads.

The Rockets finished in last place with a 5-15 record, as well as the worst attendance in the league, drawing in fewer than 1500 fans per match. The club had planned to return for the 1995 season, but withdrew only days before the start of the 1995 season, due to a financial dispute with the league's front office.

Link 4 is a non-secure data link used for providing vector commands to USAF and other NATO fighter aircraft. It is a netted, time division link operating in the UHF band at 5,000 bits per second. There are 2 separate "Link 4s": Link 4A and Link 4C.

Link 4A TADIL C is one of several Tactical Data Links now in operation in the United States Armed Services and forces of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Link-4A plays an important role by providing digital surface-to-air, air-to-surface, and air-to-air tactical communications. Originally designated Link-4, this link was designed to replace voice communications for the control of tactical aircraft. The use of Link-4 has since been expanded to include communication of digital data between surface and airborne platforms. First installed in the late 1950s, Link-4A has achieved a reputation for being reliable. But Link-4A's transmissions are not secure, nor are they jam-resistant. However, Link-4A is easy to operate and maintain without serious or long-term connectivity problems.

Link 4C is a fighter-to-fighter data link which is intended to complement Link 4A although the two links do not communicate directly with each other. Link 4C uses F-series messages and provides some measure of ECM resistance. Link 4C is fitted to the F-14 only and the F-14 cannot communicate on Link 4A and 4C simultaneously. Up to 4 fighters may participate in a single Link 4C net. It is planned that Link 16 will assume Link 4A's role in AIC and ATC operations and Link 4C's role in fighter-to-fighter operations. However Link 16 is not currently capable of replacing Link 4A's ACLS function and it is likely that controlled aircraft will remain equipped with Link 4A to perform carrier landings. Message standards are defined in STANAG 5504 while standard operating procedures are laid down in ADatP 4.

Student Sport Ireland (SSI), formerly the Colleges and Universities Sports Association of Ireland (CUSAI), is the governing body for sport in third-level education in Ireland. CUSAI was originally formed in November 2005 when the Irish universities and the institutes of technology decided to come together and form one organisation to oversee Irish third level student sport. It was renamed in 2013.

With financial support from Sport Ireland, the organisation has two full-time employees who are based in Sport HQ at the National Sports Campus.

The organisation coordinates participation in international programmes, including the multi sport World University Games (or Universiade) and championship events in which Irish students compete across the globe. The organisation also assists the national and student governing bodies of each sport to develop competition and recreation programs, with the goal to "enhance student health and well-being through increasing participation in sport and physical activity".

60s 70s 80s is a triple A-side single, Namie Amuro's 33rd solo single under the Avex Trax label. It was released in CD and CD&DVD formats on March 12, 2008, 11 months since her previous single "Funky Town", and nearly nine months after her successful album Play. This single continues her successful comeback, as it had her highest first week sales since 2000's "Never End" even at a time when CD single sales are dramatically decreasing. It became her first #1 since 1998's "I Have Never Seen", and her highest selling single since "Never End".

Overview
"60s 70s 80s" is the 33rd single and the first triple A-Side single released by Amuro Namie, and contains a total of three songs, "New Look", "Rock Steady", and "What a Feeling". Each of these three songs is used in a massive campaign ad for Vidal Sassoon's latest shampoo and conditioner products. In addition, each song represents a certain time period starting with the 1960s, then 1970's, and finally 1980's.

The first song, "New Look", represents the 1960s and features a sample from The Supremes's "Baby Love". Like many of her other single songs, this song is produced by T.Kura and Michico. "Rock Steady" represents the 1970s and features a sample from Aretha Franklin's song "Rock Steady". It is produced by Michico and Muro, whose last working with Namie was during her Suite Chic project. The last song, "What a Feeling" represents the 1980s and features samples from Irene Cara's "Flashdance... What a Feeling", which was used as the theme for the 1983 film Flashdance. Shinichi Osawa and Michico worked on the production of "What a Feeling".

Namie first performed these songs on January 17, 2008 in front of a selected audience of 150 people. Her second official performance of these songs is in the second leg of her tour PLAY More 07-08. The promotional videos of "New Look" and "Rock Steady" were released in January, with the video for "What a Feeling" premiering on March 1 on MTV.

In just two days, this single surpassed the first week sales of "Baby Don't Cry", her best selling single since "Say the Word" in 2001 despite not reaching the #1 position on the dailies by its release. However, within four days of its release the single reached the #1 spot on the charts. This became Namie's first #1 on the Oricon Daily Chart since 2004's, "Girl Talk / The Speed Star". The single debuted at #2 on the weekly charts with over 114,000 copies sold and became Amuro's highest first week sales since 2000's "Never End". A week after its release, the single reached #1 on the weekly chart, making it Amuro's 10th number one single and her first number one single in 10 years. By its third week of release however, the single reached #2 on the Oricon charts, being kicked off the top position by 20th Century's Ore Ja Nakya, Kimi Ja Nakya  by a mere 1,686 copies.

SMS  was a light cruiser of the , built for the  (Imperial Navy) during World War I. She was named after the earlier , which had sunk in November 1914, from an accidental explosion. The new cruiser was laid down in 1914 at the  shipyard in Kiel, launched in January 1916, and commissioned into the High Seas Fleet in November 1916. Armed with eight 15 cm SK L/45 guns, the ship had a top speed of .

She saw relatively limited service during the war, due to her commissioning late in the conflict. She was present during a brief engagement with British light forces in August 1917, though she did not actively participate in the battle. She joined the large task force assigned to Operation Albion in October 1917, but did not see significant action during that operation either. She was assigned to what was to have been the final sortie of the High Seas Fleet in the closing days of the war, but a large-scale mutiny in significant parts of the fleet forced the cancellation of the plan.  was interned in Scapa Flow after the end of the war, and scuttled there on 21 June 1919. Unlike most of the other ships sunk there, her wreck was never raised.

Design

 was  long overall and had a beam of  and a draft of  forward. She displaced  normally and up to  at full load. Her propulsion system consisted of two sets of steam turbines powered by ten coal-fired and two oil-fired Marine-type water-tube boilers. These provided a top speed of  and a range of  at . The ship had a crew of 17 officers and 458 enlisted men.

The ship was armed with a main battery of eight  SK L/45 guns in single pedestal mounts. Two were placed side by side forward on the forecastle, four were located amidships, two on either side, and two were arranged in a superfiring pair aft. They were supplied with 1,040 rounds of ammunition, for 130 shells per gun.  also carried two  SK L/45 anti-aircraft guns mounted on the centerline astern of the funnels. She was also equipped with a pair of  torpedo tubes with eight torpedoes in deck-mounted swivel launchers amidships. She also carried 200 mines. The ship was protected by a waterline armored belt that was  thick amidships. The conning tower had  thick sides, and the deck was covered with 60 mm thick armor plate.

Service history
 was ordered under the contract name "Ersatz " and was laid down at the  shipyard in Kiel in 1915. She was launched on 31 January 1916 without ceremony due to the war, after which fitting-out work commenced. She was commissioned into the High Seas Fleet on 15 November 1916. She was not allocated to a fleet unit until 22 February 1917, when she was assigned to II Scouting Group. She thereafter served with the other cruisers of the unit in conducting defensive patrols in the German Bight to guard against British incursions. She also supported minelaying and minesweeping operations, the first of which took place on 5 March.  escorted a group of minesweepers into the German Bight to clear a British minefield. Another operation took place on 6 April; , the light cruiser , and the 2nd Torpedo-boat Half-Flotilla sortied to the Amrun Bank to rescue the submarine U-22, which had been damaged and needed assistance returning to port.

On 16 August 1917,  participated in a mine-sweeping operation in the North Sea. The minesweepers were clearing Route Yellow, one of the channels in the minefields used by U-boats to leave and return to port.  was joined by the cruiser  and three torpedo boats. At 12:55, lookouts on one of the minesweepers spotted a British squadron of three light cruisers and sixteen destroyers approaching. The minesweepers fled south under cover of smoke screens, after which the British broke off the attack.  and the rest of the escort failed to come to their aid, however, and the commander of the operation was subsequently relieved of command.

Operation Albion

In early September 1917, following the German conquest of the Russian port of Riga, the German navy decided to eliminate the Russian naval forces that still held the Gulf of Riga.  took part in training exercises that month with the rest of II Scouting Group in preparation for the attack. The  (Navy High Command) planned Operation Albion to seize the Baltic island of Ösel, and specifically the Russian gun batteries on the Sworbe Peninsula. On 18 September, the order was issued for a joint operation with the army to capture Ösel and Moon Islands; the primary naval component comprised the flagship, the battlecruiser , along with the III and IV Battle Squadrons of the High Seas Fleet. The invasion force amounted to approximately 24,600 officers and enlisted men.  and the rest of II Scouting Group provided the cruiser screen for the task force. On 24 September,  departed Kiel, bound for Libau, where she arrived the following day. On 26 September, she helped carry infantry units to Putziger Wiek, where the men were loaded onto the capital ships of the invasion fleet.  thereafter returned to Libau on 2 October, where she embarked two officers and seventy-eight enlisted men from the Saxon  (Bicycle Battalion). The ship then left Libau on 11 October as the leader of the 2nd Transport Group.

The operation began on the morning of 12 October, when  and the III Squadron ships engaged Russian positions in Tagga Bay while the IV Squadron shelled Russian gun batteries on the Sworbe Peninsula on Ösel. The men aboard  went ashore in Tagga Bay that morning; she left the area in company with ten transport ships on 17 October and escorted them back to Libau. Over the course of the next two days,  and the rest of II Scouting Group covered minesweepers operating off the island of Dagö, but due to an insufficient number of minesweepers and bad weather, the operation was postponed. By 20 October, the islands were under German control and the Russian naval forces had either been destroyed or forced to withdraw. The  then ordered the naval component to return to the North Sea.  returned to Kiel before proceeding to the North Sea on 27 October, where she resumed coastal defense duties. From 16 November to 6 December, she underwent periodic maintenance.

Later career

In early April 1918,  supported the laying of a defensive minefield in the North Sea that was laid in preparation for a major fleet operation later that month. She then took part in the abortive fleet operation on 23–24 April to attack British convoys to Norway. I Scouting Group and II Scouting Group, along with the Second Torpedo-Boat Flotilla were to attack a heavily guarded British convoy to Norway, with the rest of the High Seas Fleet steaming in support. During the operation,  and  were the leading vessels in the German formation. While steaming off the Utsira Lighthouse in southern Norway,  had a serious accident with her machinery, which led Scheer to break off the operation and return to port by 25 April. From 10 to 13 May,  and the rest of II Scouting Group escorted the minelayer  while the latter vessel laid a defensive minefield to block British submarines form operating in the German Bight. Later that month, she escorted the new dreadnought battleship . II Scouting Group thereafter conducted additional training in the Baltic from 11 to 12 July. s commander served as the commander of the group while the group commander,  (KzS—Captain at Sea) Magnus von Levetzow, was away for the meetings that led to the formation of the  (SKL—Maritime Warfare Command). Levetzow returned on 5 August,  having gone into the shipyard for maintenance on 1 August.

 took part in evacuation efforts on the coast of Flanders on 14 August in the aftermath of the Battle of Amiens. She loaded seventy mines, with the intention of laying a minefield in company with the cruisers  and , but the operation was cancelled when it became clear that  had to be drydocked for repairs.  took part in training operations in the Baltic from 16 to 23 October, after which she resumed guard duties in the German Bight. Later that month,  and the rest of the II Scouting Group were to lead a final attack on the British navy. , , and  were to bombard targets in Flanders while , , , and  were to attack merchant shipping in the Thames estuary, to draw out the British Grand Fleet. Admirals Reinhard Scheer and Franz von Hipper intended to inflict as much damage as possible on the British navy, to secure a better bargaining position for Germany, whatever the cost to the fleet. On the morning of 29 October 1918, the order was given to sail from Wilhelmshaven the following day. Starting on the night of 29 October, sailors on  and then on several other battleships mutinied. The unrest ultimately forced Hipper and Scheer to cancel the operation.

Internment and scuttling
Following the capitulation of Germany in November 1918, most of the High Seas Fleet's ships, under the command of Rear Admiral Ludwig von Reuter, were interned in the British naval base in Scapa Flow.  was among the ships interned, and the II Scouting Group commander, KzS Victor Harder, came aboard  for the voyage to internment since his normal flagship, , was not included on the list of ships to be interned. The fleet remained in captivity during the negotiations that ultimately produced the Versailles Treaty. Von Reuter believed that the British intended to seize the German ships on 21 June 1919, which was the deadline for Germany to have signed the peace treaty. Unaware that the deadline had been extended to the 23rd, Reuter ordered the ships to be sunk at the next opportunity. On the morning of 21 June, the British fleet left Scapa Flow to conduct training maneuvers, and at 11:20 Reuter transmitted the order to his ships;  sank at 15:50, one of the last ships of the fleet to sink. She was never raised for scrapping, as she had sunk in a greater depth than many of the other ships. The rights to her wreck were sold in 1962, and some non-ferrous metals were removed from the wreck.

In 2017, marine archaeologists from the Orkney Research Center for Archaeology conducted extensive surveys of  and nine other wrecks in the area, including six other German and three British warships. The archaeologists mapped the wrecks with sonar and examined them with remotely operated underwater vehicles as part of an effort to determine how the wrecks are deteriorating. The wreck at some point came into the ownership of the firm Scapa Flow Salvage, which sold the rights to the vessel to Tommy Clark, a diving contractor, in 1981. Clark listed the wreck for sale on eBay with a "buy-it-now" price of £60,000, with the auction lasting until 28 June 2019. The wreck of  ultimately sold for £8,500 to a private buyer, while the three dreadnoughts Clark had also placed for sale were purchased by a company from the Middle East for £25,500 apiece. Her wreck lies at  and remains a popular site for recreational scuba divers.
