He is a recipient of the 2025 Barry Goldwater Scholarship Toh described his research experience and future plans.  The News-Letter: Could you briefly describe your main research project or research interests?  Enoch Toh: My research is about developing data-driven platforms to guide the design of precision medicines I'm interested in bridging experimental and computational methods to  accelerate the development of genetic cell therapies and to use these platforms to extract insights that can guide the design of next-generation medicines.  N-L: What drew you to this particular field?  ET: I've always been interested in the programmability of biology I took a synthetic biology class where we engineered Escherichia coli to remove its pungent odor That really excited me — how we can engineer and precisely control biological systems cell therapies have become a very promising avenue in medicine these therapies have become increasingly complex to engineer I think there's this exciting opportunity to leverage computational methods to help improve accelerate and optimize these systems to be more effective This convergence of experimental and computational work is where my interests lie N-L: When you talk about precision medicines do you focus on one specific disease or a category ET: My main research project is about lipid nanoparticles Lipid nanoparticles have a lot of applications cancer immunotherapy and treatment for genetic disorders but they also require precise optimization That optimization is what I’m working on: how machine learning and AI-guided systems can develop more efficient and targeted lipid nanoparticles N-L: Could you talk about the kind of skills you used or learned ET: In the lab, I work mostly on developing high-throughput screening assays which involves formulating a large library of lipid nanoparticles and testing their performance in cell assays I worked on developing machine-learning models that could predict the performance of lipid nanoparticles based on their compositions and then used those models to guide optimization I think of it as a design-build-test kind of work — you do experiments You use that data to train machine-learning models The machine-learning model can then tell you what experiment to do next an iterative optimization loop that gradually improves the performance of your nanoparticles N-L: How has Hopkins supported your research exploration and independence ET: Hopkins has been a really transformative experience for me I think it has a strong focus on undergraduate research When I first arrived on campus and I was reaching out for labs to join I found that there were a lot of resources on how to reach out to professors that listed professors and their interests I started research in the beginning of my freshman year Hopkins also has a lot of funding opportunities to support research endeavors. After freshman year, I applied for the Summer Provost's Undergraduate Research Award that gives you funding to do independent research over the summer Hopkins also had some undergraduate conference funds that can support your travel to different conferences N-L: You're a CS and Molecular and Cellular Biology double major — how do you integrate what you learn in class with your research ET: There’s some overlap between class and research I’m learning foundational knowledge — cell biology I think those classes gave me a good foundation to build on I'm  taking the knowledge from my classes and trying to apply it to solving problems.  N-L: Were there any challenges that you faced during your research ET: I think the research process is a not a linear journey there were a lot of ups and downs — there were periods where I had very little progress it was somewhat challenging and demoralizing you have to persevere and put in extra effort to stay motivated He compared the research journey to farming — you spend a long time nurturing and growing your crops So I think that nonlinear trajectory of research was a challenge but I also think it’s a very rewarding part of doing research as well.  People are willing to collaborate with each other all the time and collaborate with other labs on different projects There was definitely a lot of support there — when I had a problem I could go to grad students or other undergrads to brainstorm I also had biweekly meetings with my PI and other students We would present progress and go over next steps which was very helpful in keeping me on track N-L: What does receiving this scholarship mean to you ET: Research has been a very big part of my academic journey — and it’s what I want to do in the future My goals are to go into academia and start my own lab so receiving this scholarship is definitely very validating for me in terms of recognizing the work that I’ve done over the past few years But even the process of applying to the Goldwater itself was very rewarding — it challenged me to think about why I’m doing what I’m doing and what my interests really are N-L: What future plans do you hold for your research Are you continuing in this direction or planning to explore new areas I am working on submitting a first-author manuscript detailing the platform that I’ve developed I’m interested in expanding the scope of my platform — whether it be using more advanced deep-learning models that can give us better mechanistic insights into how lipid nanoparticles are actually working or whether it be expanding the platform’s optimization — looking at how we can not just optimize carriers but also the genetic payloads they deliver I’m interested in continuing to explore how computational tools can accelerate this field N-L: What advice do you have for students who want to apply for a scholarship or follow a path like yours in research ET: Finding good mentors and a good environment is so important I was very fortunate to have a  supportive and collaborative lab environment I think that finding an environment where you think that you can do continuous learning is very important — that is finding a lab that you’re interested in as well as an environment that supports you to develop those interests and is willing to help find resources to support you I think the beauty of academia and academic research is that every path is different Succeeding in this space is not just about accolades but finding your own passion and your interests Academia allows you to develop those interests and turn them into something meaningful Please note All comments are eligible for publication in The News-Letter Thanks for visiting The use of software that blocks ads hinders our ability to serve you the content you came here to enjoy We ask that you consider turning off your ad blocker so we can deliver you the best experience possible while you are here Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker Related questions this week from different askers I just read that Jesus made several references to a book called Sirach Does this mean Jesus thought it was worth our study I’ve heard that the Book of Enoch is quoted in the Bible Many Christians, having been raised to believe that the Bible was handed down intact from heaven, are shocked when they learn that there are parts of the Bible that aren’t original. Revelation 22:18-19 notwithstanding back to writings that aren’t in the canon of writings we now use Many scholars believe that the Torah—the first five books of the Bible—had at least four sources each with a distinct writing style and theological perspective Some have identified parallels in both the creation stories and the Ten Commandments to earlier pagan accounts the first three gospels drew from a source that we don’t have anymore (scholars call it “Q”) alluded to sayings of secular writers Aratus the intertestamental books that were included in all Bibles before the Victorian age many Jewish and Christian books floating around back when the Bible was being composed Some of the Bible’s authors read these books It shouldn’t be a surprise that they made allusions to them Jude directly quotes Enoch 1:9, but there are at least five other possible references in Jesus’ teachings to the book of Enoch, and a half dozen more close parallels to Sirach Some of the early church fathers regarded one or both of these books as inspired though in the end they weren’t selected as being authoritative writings Many Adventists have gotten over Ellen White’s extensive plagiarism so it shouldn’t be hard for us to accept that the Bible was derivative what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”  You can—but inasmuch as most Christians don’t regard them as inspired you should be wary of proving theological points from them Aunt Sevvy has collected her answers into a book! You can get it from Amazon by clicking here.

vocalist will perform at the Bender Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington’s Jan 27 International Holocaust Remembrance Day Concert Enoch has served as the director of the Bender JCC’s Coming of Age adult engagement program for 20 years She lives in North Potomac with her husband She said she uses music to commemorate the Holocaust because of the “powerful “Some of the music we perform was written in the ghettos and were sung in [concentration] camps,” Enoch said Why was there music during this horrific time It’s because of the power of music and what keeps hope alive and makes you more resilient and gives you an outlet for the hard times that you’re living through.” She said music as a tool of resilience continues to be relevant today with the Israel-Hamas war as music brings communities together and offers a celebration of life Enoch will sing on Jan. 27 alongside the Iris Music Project “We will be [singing] a mix of classical music and the songs that I mentioned many of them written in the ghettos and camps,” Enoch said of the upcoming concert I feel that joy and hope should be part of the experience as well and that’s reflected in perhaps more uplifting and joyful songs but [the Jewish people in the Holocaust] didn’t lose sight of finding joy where they could.” Enoch has always been drawn to music from a young age Her parents initially raised Enoch and her brother in Poland then brought the family to the United States on a German quota in 1960 “Music was prevalent in the house,” Enoch said though they came out of a horrific several years of the Holocaust gave my brother and me gifts such as the joy of life “My mother and father both have beautiful voices.” he became the cantor at a small shul in the Bronx inspiring Enoch to pursue her passion for music She also performed as a solo vocalist at celebrations and Jewish holiday functions The highlights of her career included singing at the U.S Holocaust Memorial Museum with actor and singer Theodore Bikel and performing with her band “You can’t ask for a better job; you see so much joy and love,” Enoch said “I just hold very dear to my heart these wonderful opportunities that I have.” She eventually became ready for a career change: “I think I was tired of schlepping the equipment that being a full-time performer requires.” Enoch leads the Bender JCC’s Coming of Age program coordinating social opportunities and programs for older adults She recently revitalized a women’s connection group I lead all kinds of programs,” Enoch said of her role at the JCC and there’s a hunger for programs that I know will fill the bus Older community members thrive with this programming [experience] whatever kinds of limitations that come along the way but we don’t lose our desire for living a full life,” Enoch said and that’s what I love about this program.” She described the Bender JCC as a home that promotes adults’ well-being which is more than visits to the doctor or taking medication “I partner with [Bender JCC’s] Arts & Culture to bring some wonderful programs for adults to provide these opportunities It’s important to bring older adults together.” Coming of Age also incorporates programming with a Jewish lens including a Jewish and Israeli film series panels of Holocaust survivors and holiday celebrations Enoch said she hopes to add matinees at the JCC to expand access for those who can’t travel at night One of her favorite aspects of the job is the “almost immediate gratification” she sees in community members’ faces when they’re enjoying themselves Enoch described how COA’s first international trip had impacted an 80-year-old man who had been initially nervous to travel “The first thing he did is call his daughter and say ‘I didn’t fall; I had a wonderful time and I did it,’ and that just brought me pure joy,” Enoch said Between singing music from the Holocaust or bringing joy and engagement to Greater Washington’s aging population Enoch works full-time and loves what she does [email protected] and website in this browser for the next time I comment We chat with author Suzanne Enoch about A Duke Never Tells which is a sparkling new regency romcom in which an heiress disguises herself as a maid in her fiance’s household to see if he really is a scoundrel as the gossips claim PLUS we have an excerpt to share with you at the end of the interview knew I was going to be a writer from about age 5 and Marvel–and collect statues and action figures (they’re not dolls!) of my favorite characters and about 20 different species of reptiles–some of which occasionally escape their habitats and wind up under my bed It’s like an entire circus lives under my bigtop and Laura Ingalls Wilder was a big inspiration and I knew I would go to Africa and probably adopt a cheetah or chimp and raise them and write about my adventures Then at about the same time I realized there were deadly snakes in Africa AND I saw Star Wars and realized I could just make up stories and not be killed by a cobra I refer to A Duke Never Tells as a screwball comedy in the vein of the old Hollywood comedies and the whole thing enveloped by a big warm I’ve been watching old comedies and reading old plays and this one emerged as a combination of My Man Godfrey and The Importance of Being Earnest but I thought it would be fun if no one discovered the disguise and the character was stuck being that other person far past what they were prepared for I particularly enjoyed figuring out James Clay’s character It’s one thing to have a rogue with a well-earned reputation for being bad but it’s also important for him to be someone readers like–or can come to like The “why” questions are the most fun to explore The “Why is he like that?” was the most interesting part of the book for me to explore and it kind of came about during the writing process I went through several ways of dividing points of view deciding if each chapter should be from one character’s point of view because in a book with at least four people pretending to be other people there are a lot of things to keep track of The chapter idea turned out to be the one that worked best and on top of that I named the character we would be following at the beginning of each chapter It’s about a widow and widower who end up living next door to each other decide their parents should be together no matter what other plans said parents might have I’m really enjoying Stephanie Laurens’s Barnaby Adair books kind of a cozy mystery/romance combination There’s also Karen Hawkins’ Dove Pond series which mixes small town/women’s fiction/romance/magic all together I haven’t had time to read The Bookshop of Hidden Dreams yet “What do you think?” Lady Meg Pinwell glided into the morning room and sank into a deep curtsy “Is it too much?” “Two ostrich plumes sticking out of your head I think you already know the answer.” Meg’s aunt snorted and returned her attention to the book in her hands Pirouetting so she could see her reflection in the front window paying particular attention to the bend and lift of the long “You look like a ship with luffing sails,” Clara commented and only the slightest of smiles hinting at her amusement Meg squinted at her reflection as she adjusted her white elbow-length gloves except to let everyone know you’re trying too hard and secretly don’t think yourself worthy of any plumage.” Meg gathered the skirt of her white presentation gown and flopped onto the sofa beside her aunt “You’re supposed to say encouraging things Papa even went to London last week to see if he could find any gossip threads that might lead to an exceptional marriage for me.” If they expect you to improve your station over their own it leaves you no option but to marry either a marquis or a duke though Prinny’s unmarried brothers are much too old and fat for you batting a finger at one of the ostrich plumes rising above Meg’s head “And two ostrich plumes will not guarantee you a duchy any more than one would condemn you to a sheep farm.” I have to be confident and demure and proper And far wittier than your parents would prefer.” but there’s good memorable

patch on the flank of Mr Harker’s new cow looked like a gentleman’s naughty bits “But I’m not a man.” Meg smoothed the soft silk of her gown It was a fine dress—a bit plain because evidently plainness equated with chastity—very much in the tradition of the attire all young ladies wore for their presentation to the Queen at the outset of their debut Season in London “I can’t go about saying whatever

the Enoch Wildlife Rescue release a male golden eagle that had been hit by a car A golden eagle flies free after recovering from being hit by a car he soared through Southern Utah's blue skies once again The eagle was injured between two and three weeks before his release at Parowan Gap, Enoch Wildlife Rescue cofounder and CEO Martin Tyner told St Eagles are at high risk of being hit by automobiles "Because they'll literally eat so much food they can't fly," he said then everybody in Utah can put me out of work." so the raptor likely left behind a mate and eggs "And we got him to our rescue center and basically got some fluids into him and then Because there's nothing you can do to fix it The eagle was walking and eating on his own after a few days of care so Tyner said they moved him into the rescue's flight chamber "Once he was doing that and flying extremely vigorously it's time to get him back in the wild," Tyner said "We got to get him turned loose as fast as we can we only gave everybody just a couple days' notice We're going to release the eagle fast as we can The faster we can get it back into the wild the less fitness that he loses and the better chances he has of hopefully getting back to his mate." For the release, dozens of people gathered at Parowan Gap, with Martin Tyner, Susan Tyner and Mitch Elwood giving speeches to the crowd. Elwood, who said he's just a "regular dude" now, is a retired member of the United States Army Special Forces and the president of the Southern Utah Rock Club and I get a chance to be a husband and a father and be a part of the community again," Elwood told St Elwood released the eagle in honor of his fallen comrade "I just thought I'd bring my son and enjoy the viewing of a goldie being released you have someone you lost?' And I actually wear Ryan Copeland's memorial on my bracelet but was also "something amazing," Elwood said "Where you heal in the process of watching something amazing," he said if you think about what changes us for the better it usually wraps around some kind of emotion it creates something permanent in ourselves instead of just seeing something and let it be fleeting Elwood said the eagle was given a second chance "It's very cool of Martin and his crew to be able to bring something that's so special back," he said because you got a whole group of people here that are connecting to the whole story." Elwood and Tyner climbed a nearby hillside Tyner removed the eagle's mask before transferring the bird to Elwood Elwood held the raptor for a few moments before releasing him first over the crowd of onlookers and then into the sky Email notifications are only sent once a day summary of the weather details and news of any severe weather We'll send breaking news and news alerts to you as they happen Receive Sunday Local Offers Coupons from St Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: Account processing issue - the email address may already exist Invalid password or account does not exist Submitting this form below will send a message to your email with a link to change your password An email message containing instructions on how to reset your password has been sent to the email address listed on your account There are no statistics available for this player Thanks for visiting SPLC and Florida Decides Healthcare File Lawsuit Challenging DeSantis’ Attack on Direct Democracy — Read More Mike Peinovich is a white nationalist blogger and founder of The Right Stuff and cohost of the Daily Shoah Mike Peinovich, more commonly known by his pseudonym “Mike Enoch,” is the founder of The Right Stuff (TRS) and a co-host of the Daily Shoah, a seminal podcast of the Alt-Right Peinovich was doxed in January of 2017 and has since become one of the most recognizable white nationalist voices regularly traveling around the United States and abroad to participate in public speaking events “Diversity means you’re next white people. Your heads are on the chopping block.” —Freedom of Speech rally “White privilege is an anti-white conspiracy theory that is meant to facilitate white genocide.” — Texas Belongs to Us rally “We are not going to back down to this Jewish cultural Marxist brainwashing that you have been indoctrinated with in order to be useful idiots for the systems of international finance which you are representing whether you know it or not … That’s why you are here fighting us who simply want to stand for working class white people and our nation.” — Traditionalist Worker Party rally “Racism is hardly a problem in present day Western society The remaining gaps we see between whites and black are the result of natural inclinations and abilities and can never be corrected for.” — “Anti-Racism: It’s a White Thing,” The Right Stuff Before founding TRS and fully committing to the Alt-Right His radicalization followed a familiar trajectory among those affiliated with the Alt-Right Peinovich progressed from the libertarian fringe to race realism and eventually extreme anti-Semitism which he partially ascribes reading Kevin MacDonald’s Culture of Critique he registered the domain theemptiness.info where he authored nearly 50 posts between January 2010 and April 2011 “The purpose of this site is to deconstruct empty social constructs It is also to show how people themselves become empty when they enslave themselves to these empty social constructs.” Peinovich demonstrated an anti-war streak common among those on the Alt-Right and all the members of the enforcement wing of the state represent a direct threat to my well being The military is funded through taxes and debt that is backed up by taxes … The military cannot protect me and fund itself by stealing my money at the same time,” Peinovich wrote “The actions the military takes in foreign countries are precisely the reason that there are terrorists that hate America You can’t protect me from terrorism by stoking up terrorism and attacking and occupying foreign countries.” given his future role in the Alt-Right as a propagandist indoctrinating the young and naïve with white nationalistic bluster “The best that can be said of soldiers is that they are young and naïve and duped by propaganda Let’s not add to it by continuing to praise the role of soldiers while we criticize the wars … This is hard and breaks a lot of social taboos Peinovich published an article titled “Burning Down the House” under his byline in the Mises Daily a publication of the Ludwig von Mises Institute — a think-tank based in Auburn dedicated to Austrian economics and the principles of Anarcho-Capitalism “The Right Stuff is a political and cultural blog dedicated to the promotion of a post-Postmodern mindset You will find that we are not like most of the ‘alt-right’ blogging community … We don’t play echo chamber we don’t care if we butt heads with fellow ‘reactionaries’ … Neither are we content with simple deconstruction One of our favorite things to do here is re- appropriating and redirecting the modern narrative The Right Stuff argumentation style that results is refreshing to some Peinovich describes himself as raised in an upper middle-class liberal protestant household in the northeast “I became attracted to right-wing politics initially as a rebellion against my ‘more progressive than thou’ WASP upbringing,” he writes exploring various factions such as paleo-conservatism anarcho-capitalism and voluntaryism before I came to the unsettling realization that ‘freedom’ and markets do not necessarily lead to the best outcomes for all people all the time Slapped in the face by human bio-diversity I had to come to grips with the fact that libertarianism isn’t going to work for everyone and the people that it isn’t going to work for are going to ruin it for everyone else.” Peinovich also mentioned that he was a software engineer and responsible for technical support on the TRS website roughly a year after the TRS blog began producing content Peinovich penned several articles at a distinctly more ethnocentric publication named Theden “A thede is any group of people you identify with … Westerners in general tend to reject an explicitly Western identity … You can identify with a subgenre of music with a piece of cloth — but identifying with your ancestors’ culture then — reestablishing group identities — is of high import Welcome to Theden,” reads the sites introductory post “Public School as Redemption of the Poor (and Black),” Peinovich argues that liberals are as racially conscious as conservatives and use public schools for “the redemptive transformation of society itself.” “The idea that Blacks can be improved by simply exposing them to Whites in the schools has been a part of liberal educational canon ever since school desegregation in the 1960s,” Peinovich writes it seems that liberals treat exposure to Blacks for White children in the schools not as a growing experience but rather as a form of penance for the original sin of White privilege No doubt some kind of proxy punishment for the Southern sin of resistance to integration during the Civil Rights era is at play here as well Liberals will never tire of punishing Southern Whites.” “The Pretense of Powerlessness: Knockout Edition,” Peinovich claims that so-called race realists rather than minority groups are the truly oppressed because they are ostracized for their racism TRS posted the first episode of its signature radio program The show’s hosts are collectively referred to as a “death panel” — most frequently including Peinovich the show’s sound engineer Jesse Craig Dunstan (AKA Seventh Son) as well as guests from the broader white nationalist movement Bryant and Ward both quit the Daily Shoah after being doxed in late 2016 Peinovich began appearing at other outlets on the racist right in late 2014 “2014 Year of the Dindu,” with Richard Spencer Peinovich discussed his role popularizing the term “dindu,” a racist term for African-Americans “One of the things I came up with to call 2014 was the ‘year of the dindu’ — as in ‘dindunuffin,’ the nickname that was given to Michael Brown in the wake of his robbery,” Peinovich told his co-hosts “It comes from every time a similar story happens where a ‘youth’ does something and then is shot Inevitably there will be a shot of his mother “We were bouncing it around back and forth on Facebook Michael Brown reading urban poetry as the racist cop steps out of his car and executes him in cold blood Peinovich appeared with Spencer again on his Radix Podcast to discuss the c—servative meme and Donald Trump Peinovich is credited with creating the anti-Semitic (((echo))) meme that originates from the reverb effect applied when hosts of the Daily Shoah mention Jewish individuals or institutions Members of the Alt-Right began to affix three sets of parentheses around names to denote Jewish influence — most commonly on social media platforms The Right Stuff and Peinovich solidified their position in the world of white nationalism during this period Links to Alternative Right began showing up more frequently in the citations of Peinovich’s articles “Race and Dildos in Disney’s ‘Frozen,’” Peinovich cited Liddell while discussing the concept of “cultural welfare.” “It sucks that POC generally and black people particularly lack the creative intelligence and cultural history to provide them with a mass of compelling characters and icons from which to draw a rich tradition of stories but that is not our problem,” Peinovich complained “Nor should we pollute our myths by offering them up as cultural welfare pieces for lesser peoples arbitrarily switching their race to make others feel better.” Greg Johnson of Counter-Currents claims he met Peinovich at an NRx gathering in New York “I believed that [TRS’s] combination of satire and serious analysis could reach a large audience and since the Death Panel consisted of ex-Libertarians who were evolving in the direction of racial nationalism — and bringing their audience along with them — I believed the Shoah was performing a valuable educational function,” Johnson wrote the Death Panel did not really identify as White Nationalists but they were wise to race and the Jewish question Peinovich attended the annual American Renaissance conference seven months later and began publicly identifying himself as a white nationalist Peinovich’s peers also began to recognize him as a white nationalist ideologue Responding to Peinovich at Alternative Right in January of 2015 [Peinovich] could be fairly described as a race realist.” Peinovich debuted as a leader of the Alt-Right with his appearance alongside Richard Spencer of AltRight.com and Andrew Anglin of the Daily Stormer for “The First Triumvirate.” The discussion which took place on the “Between Two Lampshades” podcast — named for the post-World War II myth that the skin of victims of the Buchenwald concentration camp was used to make lampshades — came in the wake of the controversy over Richard Spencer’s toast at the 2016 National Policy Institute conference in Washington which was met with stiff armed salutes from a handful of conference attendees The recording amounted to a public relations effort for Spencer after his preferred co-leaders of the Alt-Right Jared Taylor of American Renaissance and Peter Brimelow of VDARE Peinovich was doxed in January of 2017 by members of 8chan’s /pol/ board Along with his identifying personal information it was revealed that he had been married to a Jewish woman for the past decade I was doxxed and an ill- advised attempt to fool the media about my identity led me to not talk to you people and try to simply ride it out by being

into our existing all-girl friend group we did not consider parents three-dimensional beings We took up the proscenium stage; parents hid behind the curtains I was too distracted and self-involved to recognize that Mr Kanaya—who tended to ripe garden tomatoes on humid summer days or tinkered with electronic equipment as we raced in and out of rattling screen doors—was a hero living quietly across the street Enoch Kanaya’s parents with three of their granddaughters the Kanaya canon began to unfold through an elementary school lecture and a high school history fair project that required a person with wartime experience Kanaya and his two siblings grew up in rural Clackamas before the family relocated to the bustling city of Portland they busied themselves with sports and attended school functions But after the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941 Japanese American communities got swept up in a discriminatory crossfire and his family were sent to an internment camp along with thousands of other Japanese Americans following the bombing of Pearl Harbor In February 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an executive order that led to the incarceration of 120,000 innocent Japanese Americans during World War II and caused many civilians to view neighbors through a suspicious lens in tandem with thousands of other Japanese American families they were forced to get rid of their possessions and vacate the only homes they had ever known called “Minidoka Camp.” Making the best of an unprecedented predicament the teenaged Enoch worked as a truck mechanic for a paltry monthly sum while completing his high school education part time the 442nd crossed the Atlantic and landed in France they were ordered to safeguard the Alps that separated France and Italy from invading German troops In Italy, the 442nd successfully pushed the German troops back.
