In Mandaeism, Anush () (also spelled Ennosh) or Anush Uthra () is an uthra (angel or guardian) from the World of Light. Anush is considered to be the Mandaean equivalent of Enos. Prayers in the Qolasta frequently contain the recurring formula "In the name of Hibil, Šitil, and Anuš" ( ). The Mshunia Kushta is considered to be the shkina (dwelling) of Anush Uthra. Overview According to the Mandaean scriptures, including the Qolastā, the Book of John and Genzā Rabbā, Enosh is cognate with the angelic soteriological figure Anush Uthra, (, sometimes translated as "Excellent Ennosh"), who is spoken of as the son or brother of Sheetil (Seth). Anush is a lightworld being (uthra) who taught John the Baptist and performed many of the same miracles within Jerusalem typically ascribed to Jesus by Christians.

Virginia Tonelli (Castelnovo del Friuli, 13 November 1903 – Trieste, 29 September 1944) was an Italian partisan. She was burned alive by the fascists in the Risiera di San Sabba concentration camp, and was posthumously awarded the Gold Medal of Military Valour. Biography Tonelli was born into a poor family. Her father, a bricklayer, who supported seven children, died of typhus in 1915. Virginia began working as a seamstress and then as a nurse, working in the children's hospital in Venice. In 1930 she joined the Italian Communist Party, which at that time operated in hiding due to the ascendance of fascism. In 1933 she emigrated to Toulon, France. In 1937 she married Pietro Zampollo, a fellow party member who went to fight in Spain in the international brigades to support the Republic, where he was wounded, sent back to Italy and imprisoned. In Toulon, Tonelli, having become a revolutionary by profession, hosted several comrades who moved between Italy, France and Spain. Among the best-known of these were Giorgio Amendola, Giuseppe Dozza, Giancarlo Pajetta and Emilio Sereni. In the early months of 1943, with fascism now in difficulty, the party leadership ordered her to return to Castelnovo to carry out propaganda and protest actions. In one of these, on 14 June, she was arrested, but the fall of the regime returned her to freedom. With the German occupation following the armistice of 8 September and with the creation of the Italian Social Republic (the Republic of Salò), Tonelli had to go underground, actively engaging in the Italian resistance movement under the nom de guerre of "Luisa". Her task was to disseminate propaganda material and to collect and deliver materials for the support of the partisan formations operating in Veneto and Friuli. On 19 September 1944, while she was transporting documents from Udine to Trieste with a colleague, Wilma Tominez Padovan, she was arrested and imprisoned by the fascists. She was brutally tortured for ten days to extract information, but to no avail. She was then taken to the Risiera di San Sabba concentration camp and burned alive on 29 September. Her remains were never found. On January 25, 1971, she was posthumously awarded the Gold Medal of Military Valour.

William Wellesley Campbell (18??-1962) was a Guyanese physician who subsequently became a Catholic monk at Mount Saint Benedict in Trinidad and Tobago. In London Campbell qualified with an MRCS and an LRCP at Kings College, London in 1903. Whilst in London he worked as an anatomical demonstrator at Kings College and as a clinical assistant in the Royal Eye Hospital. During this period he advised Theophilus Scholes as regards the first volume of Glimpses of the Ages. Having been thanked by Scholes in the preface, the Introduction to Volume II cites an anonymous reviewer who suggested that Campbell should have advised Scholes not to publish the first volume. Having described this reviewer as a delinquent "converting the noble edifice of criticism into the wigwam of lampoonery", Scholes discussed the publication of further volumes with Campbell. After expressing some ironic concern about the reviewers well-being, Scholes accepted Campbell's advice to continue, thanking him again in the preface. References 1962 deaths Guyanese Christian monks

John Charles Bolsinger (September 17, 1957 – March 23, 1988) was an American serial killer who was posthumously linked to the murders of three women in Eugene, Oregon from 1986 to 1988, committed after his release from prison for a 1980 murder in Utah. He was never convicted of the latter homicides, as he committed suicide shortly after the final murder, and was linked to them via DNA analysis from Oregon State Police and Parabon NanoLabs in 2022. First murder and imprisonment On March 29, 1980, Bolsinger was living in Magna, Utah when he entered an apartment complex at 8044 W. 3500 South, where he planned to have sex with the resident, 33-year-old Kaysie Sorensen, whom he had met in a bar earlier that day. At some point, it was alleged that she made fun of him, causing him to tie a cord from a clock radio around her neck and strangle her. After killing her, Bolsinger stole a stereo from the apartment and left, leaving the building manager to discover her body on the following day. A preliminary autopsy determined that Sorensen had been strangled, and concluded that she might have been sexually assaulted. A few days later, Bolsinger was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, being held in jail on $100,000 bail. He was then remanded at the Salt Lake County Jail to await trial. The first preliminary hearing was held at the end of April 1980. At the murder trial itself, the main focus was to determine whether Bolsinger had strangled Sorensen intentionally or accidentally. To support their claims that it was accidental, defense attorneys brought in testimony from Dr. Boyd Stephens, a San Francisco-based coroner who said that the woman's death was the result of heart failure caused by compression on her chest. This was questioned by District Attorney Lynn Payne, who claimed that Bolsinger had strangled her after she allegedly insulted him. In the end, Bolsinger was found guilty of murder and given a 5-year-to-life term. Near the end of his sentence, Bolsinger's conviction was quashed by the Utah Supreme Court by a 3-1 decision, citing the state's failure to provide solid evidence that he intended "grave bodily harm" to Sorensen. As a result, his conviction was reduced to manslaughter, and Bolsinger was subsequently set a parole date of April 8, 1986. In December 1985, Bolsinger was one of four convicts who made an appeal to the Utah Supreme Court, asking that they should have been provided adequate research opportunity for their civil cases, which the Utah State Prison lacked, but their joint appeal was rejected. Release and new murders After finishing his sentence, Bolsinger was paroled to his hometown of Springfield, Oregon. Not long after his release, on June 5, 1986, the body of 62-year-old Gladys Mae Hensley was found lying on the floor of her apartment in Eugene by an employee of the apartment complex. Two weeks later, on June 19, the half-nude body of 33-year-old Janice Marie Dickinson was found beneath a tree behind a car dealership's parking lot by an auto mechanic. Due to the similarity of the two cases, detectives believed that the cases were related, but had no clues that could lead to a potential suspect. The Eugene Police Department even hired a retired police chief who had previously worked on the Atlanta child murders and the Green River Killer cases to help, but it was to no avail. While police were investigating the Hensley-Dickinson murders, Bolsinger was arrested for attempting to burglarize a woman's apartment in Springfield in the middle of the night. According to the unnamed woman's testimony, she had heard her dog barking and went in to check, only to find him peering through her kitchen window. She ran towards the living room and phoned 911, and while she was still on the phone, Bolsinger, who by then had entered the household, walked towards her and attempted to yank the phone from her hands. The woman then started hitting him with the phone and a flashlight, causing him to retreat to the kitchen and flee, leaving behind a down vest and a kitchen knife. Not long after, Bolsinger was arrested by a K9 unit and interrogated about the crime, during which he claimed that he had simply knocked on the door and walked away, but, as a result of amnesia, could not remember anything after this point. He was subsequently found guilty and given a 5-year prison term, which he was ordered to serve at the Utah State Prison. He remained there until December 8, 1987, when he was paroled for good behavior. Three days after his release, Bolsinger enrolled at the Lane Community College in Eugene. On February 27, 1988, three months after his release from prison, Bolsinger broke into the Franklin Boulevard home of 73-year-old Geraldine Spencer Toohey, who was talking on the phone with her sister. After cutting the phone lines, he stabbed, raped and ultimately strangled her, before fleeing the household. Toohey's body was found by her sister on the next day, and days after her murder, the Oregon State Police released a sketch of the suspect. Suicide, investigation and identification While he was not considered a suspect in any of the murders, Bolsinger nonetheless committed suicide at his home in Springfield on March 23, 1988, less than a month after killing Toohey. Until 2000, the connection between the Hensley-Dickinson and the Toohey murders remained speculative until August 2000, when all three were linked via DNA. As there were no leads, the cases remained cold until 2016, when the Eugene Police Department contacted Parabon NanoLabs, who created a snapshot of the suspect based on DNA extracted from the crime scenes. Over the following years, the police investigated all possible suspects, eventually narrowing it down to four people, one of whom was Bolsinger. After extensive investigations, they excluded the other suspects via footprints and fingerprints. In February 2022, the Eugene Police Department announced at a press conference that Bolsinger was identified as the killer of the three women and that the cases are now officially closed.

If you have chosen, the dancer will give a betel leaf to one of the men and the man will dance with the dancing girl. The chosen man will also give a gift in the form of pears or mappasompe. However, not all male audience members can dance with the Pajoge dancers. Those who are allowed are only nobles or respected figures. If the man is interested in one of the Pajoge dancers, then the person concerned can express it to the pangibing. Pangibing is a term for the guide in this traditional dance. Furthermore, the Pajoge dancers will be guided by the pangibing. Besides functioning as entertainment, Pajoge Makkunrai Dance is also used as a medium to bring people closer to their king. Form and movement The pajoge dancing girl is appointed and chosen by the royal family. Usually the criteria for dancers are unmarried girls, able to sing or (makkelong), have a beautiful appearance (magello-gello), behave well (ampe-ampe madeceng) and have good posture (malebu-lebu/mabondeng). The number of dancers is usually 4, 8, 10, 12 people or an even number. The dancers will wear bodo clothes, with their hair in a bun or what is called a sibollo flower symbol. Dancers also wear a triangular crown or jungge. Jungge is hanging down near the hips. Behind the jungge, there is a rocking betel nut or rocking flower decoration. Meanwhile, the mandatory property that dancers bring is a fan or papi. The musical instruments that accompany the Pajoge Dance are drums and gongs. Pajoge dance consists of 20 titles of poetry which means advice or advice. Some of the poems that are still known today are the songs of Allah-Allah and Ininnawa Sabbaraki. Performance The performance will be opened and closed by Indo pajoge or the lead dancer. Therefore, he must always be ready next to a kendang or paganrang player. The show begins when Indo pajoge sings (massita elong), then the singing is continued by other dancers. They also chant together in a standing position or tettong mabborong. Pajoge Makkunrai dance movements include the tettong mabborong (gathering together), mappakaraja (respect), mappasompe (giving gifts), ballung, mappacanda (rejoicing), matteka (crossing), massessere (surrounding), majjulekkalebba (stepping wide), mattappo (spreading ), maggalio (bend body), mappaleppa (clapping hands), and massimang (goodbye). The main movement that gets the attention of the audience is the ballung movement, where the dancer will lie down near the audience who will do mappasompe (giving gift). This movement will be escorted by pangibing. Previously, pangibing brought a betel leaf and handed it to the audience who had expressed their interest in the Pajoge dancers. Currently Pajoge Dance is usually held at weddings, welcoming guests and important government activities. See also Gandrung Lengger lanang Dance in Indonesia References Dance in Indonesia

Chrysonilia sitophila is a fungus also called Monilia sitophila (obsolete) and, in common usage, "red (or orange) bread fungus". It is a mold that spoils various foods and is responsible for occupational asthma in the wood and cork industry. Classification Chrysonilia sitophila is the anamorphic counterpart of Neurospora sitophila (teleomorph). Its position in the classification is: Sordariaceae, Sordariales, Sordariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota, Fungi. History At the time of its discovery, in 1843, this fungus was named "Penicillium sitophilum" by Montagne and "Oïdium aurantiacum" by Léveillé, but it is now considered not to belong to either genus Oidium and Penicillium. In 1848, Anselme Payen reported that it resisted temperatures above 100 degrees, a fact which played a role in discussions of spontaneous generation. Bibliography Montagne, C.

The Gas Levy Act 1981 (1981 chapter 3) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which imposed on the British Gas Corporation a levy in respect of purchased natural gas. Background In May 1980 the Government announced that it intended to impose a levy on the British Gas Corporation on gas purchased from the United Kingdom continental shelf (UKCS) and sold to the corporation under contracts which were not subject to petroleum revenue tax. Virtually all the gas that came onshore from the UKCS was sold to the British Gas Corporation by the producers under long-term contracts signed before the oil crisis of 1973–74 and 1979–80 and the subsequent increase in prices. As a consequence, the prices paid for gas from these fields reflected the prices and the escalation clauses agreed in an era of cheap energy. The average basic cost to British Gas of all its gas purchases in 1980–81 was about 8p a therm. The price paid by producers for new supplies or renegotiated contracts were more than twice that amount, together with provisions for increases in line with oil price increases. The government wished to ensure that gas prices reflected the costs of supply both then and in future. Gas Levy Act 1981 The Gas Levy Act 1981 received Royal Assent on 19 March 1981. Its long title is ‘An Act to impose on the British Gas Corporation a levy in respect of certain gas.’ Provisions The Act comprises seven Sections: Section 1 Gas levy. From 1980 to 1981 a gas levy shall be payable by the British Gas Corporation on gas purchased by the Corporation under a tax-exempt contract or from a tax-exempt reservoir. Section 2 Rate of levy. The rate shall be one penny per therm (1980–81); three pence per therm (1981–82); and five pence per therm (1982–83). The rate of levy for the future shall be specified by order made by the Secretary of State for Energy with the consent of the Treasury. Section 3 Payment of levy. The levy shall be paid to the Secretary of State. Section 4 Levy where gas is stored in natural reservoirs. Where a natural reservoir is used for the storage of gas produced elsewhere a gas levy shall only be payable on the amount by which the number of therms supplied from that reservoir exceeds the number of therms put into the reservoir. Section 5 Supplementary provisions. It shall be the duty of the corporation to ensure that any rights to verify the accuracy of measuring and testing equipment maintained by a person supplying them with gas are adequately exercised; to install, maintain and use measuring and testing equipment. Section 6 Financial provisions. The Secretary of State shall pay the gas levy into the Consolidated Fund. The Secretary of State for Energy shall prepare forms as the Treasury may direct an account of sums received by him. Section 7 Citation and interpretation. This Act may be cited as the Gas Levy Act 1981. Therm means 0.105506 gigajoules. Working of the Act The government received £394.5 million from the British Gas Corporation for payments under the Gas Levy Act 1981 for the financial year 1981–82. Amendment Section 5A on Offences was subsequently included in the Act as a further Supplementary Provision (legislation unknown). The rate of the Gas Levy was amended and continued by Statutory Instruments. Repeal The Gas Levy Act was repealed by Section 153 of the Finance Act 1998 which abolished the Gas Levy.

The Royal Eye Hospital was established in 1857 by John Zachariah Laurence and Carsten Holthouse as the South London Ophthalmic Hospital. The hospital originally consisted of two beds in a house in St George's Circus. An adjoining house was acquired and the enlarged facilities were renamed the Surrey Ophthalmic Hospital in 1860. Three years later it became the Ophthalmic Hospital, with a further name change to the Royal South London Ophthalmic Hospital in 1869. In 1892 following the opening of a new enlarged building, still in St George's Circus it finally became known as the Royal Eye Hospital. After the NHS In 1948 the hospital was incorporated into the newly founded National Health Service (NHS). It was originally allocated to the King's College Hospital Group During the reorganisation of the NHS in 1974, the REH was reallocated to the St Thomas' Hospital Group. After the provision of Ophthalmic medicine had taken in-house by St Thomas' Hospital, such services were stoped at the St George's Circus site. The building was used by local Area Health Authorities before being left derelict and then demolished. The site is now occupied by McLaren House, which is one of hall of residences for students at London South Bank University.

The 2022 Wellington protests are a series of ongoing anti-COVID-19 vaccine mandate protests and blockades, occurring primarily in the grounds of Parliament House and Molesworth Street in Central Wellington. The protests were inspired by the Canadian convoy protests in Ottawa, which began the month before and are primarily lead by Convoy 2022 NZ. Additional protests in support of Convoy 2022 NZ have taken place in Christchurch, Dunedin, Picton and Wanaka. Since the Ottawa blockade it was inspired by was forcibly ended on 20 February, the Wellington protests are one of the largest remaining in the world, spreading over a large area of Thorndon with approximately 1,000 participants. The protests have gained an international reputation for many protestors' "psychotic" levels of harassment towards police and bystanders. The protestors are a mixed group, but the majority are protesting the COVID-19 mask and vaccine mandates in New Zealand, with others identifying with far-right politics such as Trumpism, white nationalism and Christian fundamentalism. The protest methods have ranged from peaceful to increasingly violent, with one protestor attempting to ram police officers with their vehicle. Protestors blockaded areas around the parliamentary grounds with their vehicles and have occupied the lawn and surrounding areas in tents. In many instances, due to growing numbers of participants, the protestors have camped around the area and on private property, such as in the driveways and gardens of homes nearby. There have been videos of protestors skirmishing with and attacking police, and also several instances of some of them harassing and physically assaulting schoolchildren (mostly from Wellington Girls' College) for wearing masks. There have also been multiple threats by protestors to lynch politicians, such as Jacinda Ardern, Grant Robertson and pregnant MP Steph Lewis, partially by hanging nooses from trees on the grounds. Far-right groups involved in the protests include the fundamentalist Destiny Church led by Brian Tamaki, the ultraconservative anti-immigration New Conservative Party, neo-Nazi organisation Action Zealandia, and the anti-vaccine groups "Voices for Freedom", among others. The Cenotaph had a makeshift shower facility erected on the side of it by the protestors before it was removed. On 21 February, protestors threw faeces at police. There have been incidents of antisemitism, with the Parliamentary grounds vandalised with swastikas, protestors appropriating yellow stars, and messages targeting Jews written on car windows. There have also been several reports of sexual assault from within the protest grounds. The protestors met a range of support, in varying degrees. ACT New Zealand leader David Seymour controversially agreed to met with them- he was condemned by both Jacinda Ardern and National Party leader Christopher Luxon for doing so- and the protestors' demands to remove vaccine mandates were supported by New Conservative leader Leighton Baker and his daughter Chantelle, former Northland MP Matt King, New Zealand First leader Winston Peters, former Māori party leaders John Tamihere and Tariana Turia, current Māori party co-leaders Rāwiri Waititi and Debbie Ngārewa-Packer, National Party MP Harete Hipango and musician Tiki Taane. Former deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters also visited the protestors on 22 February unmasked. Opposition came from Wellington's population, especially those who had been threatened by the protestors or whose property the protestors had illegally squatted on. Ngāti Toa, the mana whenua of much of Wellington's northern suburbs, have vocally condemned anti-vaccine and far-right protestors. They have done so since 2020 for the protestor's use of Te Rauparaha's famous haka, Ka Mate, which is a taonga of Ngāti Toa. Police only began to implement enforcement action on 22 February, during which violence erupted; a car was intentionally driven into police, and several officers were sprayed in the eyes with an unknown "stinging" substance thought to be acid. The response to the protests has been polarised across the world. Many within New Zealand have become increasingly angry with the ongoing harassment and disruption and the inability of authorities to restore order, or to send in the Army to tow their cars. Others criticised the police and commissioner Andrew Coster for their focus on de-escalation rather than enforcing the law; Charlie Mitchell of Stuff wrote that "by standing aside, [the police] have made a confrontation inevitable" and "violent", given the predicted influx of more protestors. There were additional calls for Coster to resign for his handling of the protests. Speaker Trevor Mallard's decision to deter the protestors by turning on the parliamentary sprinklers and spotlights and play "earworm" music such as Macarena by Los Del Rio and Barry Manilow's back catalogue has been met with a mixed reactions, with both praise and disapproval for the levity of doing so. Although criticised as "childish" by opposition parties for his actions, Mallard consulted local residents before playing the music, to their approval. Background The New Zealand protest is influenced by the Canada convoy protest that began on 22 January, when hundreds of vehicles made their way to Ottawa. Other nations have also been influenced by the Canadian protest, holding their own rallies. The protesters are mainly protesting against vaccine mandates and government lockdowns aimed at controlling the COVID-19 pandemic in New Zealand. There are muddled messages with some protesters spreading vaccine misinformation, conspiracy theories, claiming media corruption, voicing Trump slogans and making death threats. The protest contains a diverse group consisting of "young, middle-aged and old, Māori, Pākehā (European New Zealanders), Asians, hippies, gang members, church groups, stoners, naked and clothed." There is no clear leadership within the protest group, with several groups and activists involved in organising the it including anti-vaccination groups "Voices for Freedom" and New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out on Science (NZDSOS), conspiracy theorist Brett Power, far right media outlet Counterspin Media, Bishop Brian Tamaki's "The Freedom and Rights Coalition" (TFRC), far right activist Kelvyn Alp, and anti-vaccination activist Chantelle Baker. Timeline First week On 6 February, Waitangi day, two convoys of vehicles travelled from Cape Reinga in the North Island and Bluff in the South Island to Wellington, departing at 6:30 am. The South Island convoy was led by Derek Broomhall. Opponents sought to disrupt the convoys' journeys by spreading disinformation about travel itineraries on the Convoy's Telegram and Zello channels. In addition, opponents also hacked into the Convoy's Spotify playlist and added songs deemed objectionable by the organisers, including Rebel Son's "Redneck Piece of White Trash," The Offspring's "Why Don't You Get A Job?," , and Peaches' "Dumb F**k." The two convoys consisting of at least 1,000 people arrived in Wellington on 8 February converging on Molesworth Street near Parliament and in Lambton Quay. The presence of motorbikes, trucks, and cars created major traffic jams and disruption in the Wellington Central Business District. In response, Prime Minister Ardern and the Leader of the Opposition, Christopher Luxon, stated that they would not meet with the convoy participants. Despite convoy vehicles illegally blocking roads and occupying pedestrian areas, the Wellington City Council declined to issue infringement notices due to concerns over staff safety. Protesters erected tents and marquees on Parliament grounds, with at least 100 people camping overnight. The next day protesters attempted to push through a fence outside Parliament but were stopped by Police, who formed a ring around the entrance to the Parliament Buildings. Three men were arrested and issued with trespass notices. Police also issued orders for protesters to remove their tents and marquees from Parliament grounds. One of those arrested was the conspiracy theorist Brett Powers, who unsuccessfully attempted to arrest Minister of Health Andrew Little for alleged culpability in vaccine deaths. The attempt to breach the police line outside Parliament may have sparked tensions between the original organisers (who advocated calm) and Counterspin (who pushed for the storming of Parliament). Some participants favoured peace civil disobedience, while others advocated violence and threats against Parliamentary and government figures. An 17-year-old girl was assaulted for wearing a mask by throwing eggs at her. Police attempted to forcibly remove the protesters from Parliament grounds on the 10th February. One hundred an twenty two protesters were arrested on charges of trespass and obstruction. The situation was volatile with two police injured and a naked female protester being dragged out by her hair. About 27 protesters were held in custody overnight after refusing to sign their bail bonds. Following the failed attempt, 900 police officers in Wellington and 150 reinforcements were brought in from across the country. Protesters parked their vehicles the streets around Parliament, leading to the closure of several businesses and the National Library of New Zealand. The Police began working with Wellington City Council parking wardens to issue infringement notices to the protesters' illegally parked vehicles and to prevent food trucks bringing food to the protesters. Some protesters behaved aggressively towards members of the public, media, businesses, and school students including individuals wearing masks. Due to the aggressive conduct of the protesters, the Parliamentary Service, Victoria University of Wellington, the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Justice, the Department of Internal Affairs, and the Ministry of Health advised their personnel to avoid the area entirely. On 11 February, Parliament's garden sprinklers were turned on under orders by Trevor Mallard in a bid to deter protesters from Parliament and convince them to leave. Protesters then started to dig channels to direct water to nearby drains, causing the lawns to turn boggy and muddy. Wellington District Commander Superintendent Corrie Parnell said Molesworth Street remains blocked by over 100 vehicles, including large trucks, campervans and cars. No further arrests had been made that day. In addition to turning on lawn sprinklers on the camp Mallard had speakers set up to play Barry Manilow songs, the "Macarena", "Baby Shark," "My Heart Will Go On," "Let It Go," James Blunt's "You're Beautiful," and pro vaccination messages. Mallard was criticised by both the National and ACT parties with ACT leader David Seymour. Convoy protesters remained at their makeshift camp despite heavy rain caused by the approaching Cyclone Dovi. The Freedom and Rights Coalition also announced that they were sending reinforcements including motorbikes to support the Convoy protesters. Police maintained a presence near the camp while around 100 vehicles including large trucks, campervans and cars continued to occupy Molesworth Street. In addition, bales of hay were brought to mop up the water caused by the sprinklers. Newshub reported a music festival atmosphere at the Convoy camp with chanting interspersed with music. In response, Ngāti Toa condemned the use of their haka Ka Mate at the protest. Police also evacuated a protester who experienced a medical emergency. Due to disruptions caused by the protest, Metlink removed all bus services from the Lambton Interchange and placed additional detours in place. After the cyclone passed concern were raised about sanitation issues arising from faecal contamination and unhygienic portaloos, which had been exacerbated by rain over the weekend. There were also reports of children playing in unhygienic conditions in the makeshift camp. Police attempted to unblock roads around Parliament but were unable to communicate with organisers. To reassure the public, Police stepped up patrols around Molesworth street and other streets around the protest as well as the train station. Parnell also confirmed that the Police were entering into discussions with the New Zealand Defence Force to unblock roads. There were reports of protesters who had been arrested earlier but had bail conditions to not return to the campsite flouting court orders. According to Police, there were between 400 and 500 people remaining in tents, after reaching a peak of 3,000 people. Parnell confirmed that Police were also working to restore the protest to a "lawful protest" by engaging with key leaders and moving vehicles to a staging area in order to reopen Wellington's streets. Second week On 14 February, the Convoy 2022 NZ, Freedom Alliance, New Zealand Doctors Speaking Out with Science, Outdoors & Freedom Movement, The Freedom and Rights Coalition, The Hood NZ and Voices for Freedom issued a letter demanding an urgent meeting with Government ministers and the immediate removal of vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 response rules. In the joint statement, the authors stated that it did not condone aggressive and intimidatory behaviour towards members of the public and offered to work with Police to identify those involved. They also sought to minimise the impact of their protest activities on traffic congestion in the Wellington CBD. The groups also claimed that they were not anti-vaccination but were opposed to the Government's vaccine mandate. Police Commissioner Andrew Coster said that Police would give protesters the opportunity to voluntarily remove their vehicles but warned that time was "running out." He confirmed that the Police had entered into discussions with towing companies and the New Zealand Defence Force to remove illegally parked vehicles. Police and the Wellington City Council offered protesters free parking at the nearby Sky Stadium, to try and clear roads of vehicles. Many protesters were suspicious of the offer, concerned that their vehicles would end up getting impounded if they did so. By the 15th only 40 vehicles had taken up the offer of free parking at Sky Stadium. The Defence Force also confirmed that it was in discussions with the Police over the type of assistance it could provide in removing vehicles. By 15 February, 200 parking tickets had been issued but only one had been paid. On 16 February, ACT Party leader David Seymour became the first leader of a political party in parliament to speak directly with protestors stating "There are some completely unacceptable elements of this protest. But there are also a lot of people out there who are reasonable, are not violent, and simply want to be heard." The opposition National Party lodged a notice of a motion of no confidence in Speaker Mallard over his handling of the Convoy 2022 protesters on the 17th. National's COVID-19 spokesperson Chris Bishop criticised Mallard's decision to turn on the Parliamentary garden sprinklers on protesters and to subject them to Barry Manilow music. The Wellington City Council confirmed that they had issued a total of 335 tickets to illegally parked vehicles in the Wellington CBD. Police Commissioner Coster also announced that tow trucks would begin removing vehicles today and confirmed that Police had appealed to the New Zealand Defence Force to assist with towing operations. Queen Margaret College advised students and staff to take alternative routes to school after protesters had remonstrated and abused masked wearing children during the week. Coster ruled out "enforcement action" against protesters due to concerns that Police action would lead to violence. Police also abandoned an ultimatum for protesters to remove their vehicles with Coster stating that the Police would focus on "negotiation and de-escalation" for resolving the protest. The decision to rule out "enforcement action" was criticised by the National Party's police spokesman Mark Mitchell, who stated that Coster had lost credibility as Police Commissioner. Kate Sheppard Apartments body corporate chairman complained that the presence of the protesters was making it difficult for local residents within the vicinity of the protest camp saying that several residents had moved out due to intimidation from the protesters and noise. The number of protesters and tents at Parliament grew substantially over the second weekend. One of the protest leaders requested former police and Defence Force personnel to provide security at the site. The protest leader also urged participants to stop damaging the Wellington Cenotaph with graffiti. A man constructing a makeshift shower next to the Cenotaph, which some described as a toilet had triggered, led to concerns that the protesters were desecrating the site. In response to criticism, the makeshift shower was moved to a different site. In response to perceived Police inaction, Wellington mayoral candidate Tory Whanau called on the Mayor Andy Foster to advocate for Wellingtonians. She also proposed a "middle ground option" for Police to enforce a perimeter around the protest to prevent it from spreading further into Thorndon and the CBD. Foster subsequently confirmed that he was in talks with staff and the Police on addressing the protesters' occupation of the Parliament grounds. On 19 February, Police began clearing up roads near Parliament while contending with the increased in parked vehicles in the area. On 20 February, protest groups issued a joint statement expressing outrage at the arrests conducted the previous week and demanding that all charges be dropped. That same day, the Police issued a statement that they would be boosting the policing of abusive protest behaviour, traffic management, road traffic controls, and street patrols to reassure local businesses and the public. Third week On the morning on 21 February, Police began installing concrete barriers at eight locations around Parliament to reinforce the perimeter of the occupation. These barriers were designed to prevent more vehicles from joining the protests while allowing access for residents, businesses and emergency vehicles. 300 police officers were involved in this operation. Protesters responded by heckling and assaulting officers, with some officers being pelted with human feces. Police arrested seven protesters and also stepped up patrols in the CBD area. Protest leaders objected to the installation of the concrete barriers and claimed that it undermined efforts to build positive relations between police and protesters. Mayor Foster defended the barriers, arguing that they minimised the protest's disruption to Wellington. In response to rising community cases nationwide, Wellington Hospital's chief medical officer Dr John Tait advised protesters showing COVID-19 symptoms to return home or seek their community health providers. On the morning of 22 February, a car was driven at police by a protestor in an apparent attempt to run over the officers. That same morning, at least three officers were sprayed with acid by protestors, requiring immediate medical attention. Former prime minister Jim Bolger (who dealt with many protests and occupations while he was in office between 1990 and 1997) weighed in on the protest and said political leaders should "get off their high horses" and speak to the protesters. He was critical of Arden's stance to not engage with protestors and thought this was an error as speaking with protesters would nullify a key criticism held by the protestors in that that nobody was listening to their concerns. That same day, Mayor Foster and Paul of the Human Rights Commission met with protesters with the intention of using dialogue to resolve the protests and prevent further escalation of violence. On 23 February, police and protesters clashed on Parliament grounds after protesters removed at least one concrete bollard near the occupation site to let vehicles in. Protesters claimed that about 30 vehicles managed to return to the protest site from Sky Stadium. Earlier, Police had warned that their offer of free parking for the protesters' vehicles would expire at the end of the day. On 24 February, the Wellington protest camp was identified by the Ministry of Health as a "location of interest," potentially affecting hundreds who visited the site over the weekend. By 25 February, Police confirmed that a total of 132 arrests had been made at Parliament. According to Police, the number of vehicles at the Wellington protest site had dropped from 800 to 300 vehicles. Police also estimated that at least 30 children remain at the Wellington protest camp and confirmed they were working with Oranga Tamariki to ensure that children were at the forefront of their "planning and response decisions." That same day, 18 people sailed across the Cook Strait from Picton to participate in the Wellington protest. Prominent anti-vaccine activist and former political candidate Brad Flutey was arrested on 26 February, charged with inciting violence. He was released on bail under the condition that he does not return to the protest or otherwise encourage non-compliance with COVID-19 health orders. He had recently claimed that sickness amongst protestors was not due to COVID-19, but rather electromagnetic radiation. This led to some protesters wearing tin foil hats. That same day, the Ministry of Health confirmed that hospitals across the country were reporting visits from people who had attended the Wellington anti-mandate protest before returning home. The Ministry also described the Wellington protest as a potential superspreader event. Police also clashed with protesters who attempted to removed a bollard. Parademics also treated several police officers who were spat upon by demonstrators. Related protests Picton On 9 February, solidarity protesters gathered in the upper South Island town of Picton. Unlike the Wellington protest, the Picton protest was largely peaceful, with local residents and businesses reporting minimal noise and disruption. Following discussions between the Marlborough District Council and protest leaders on 11 February, Freedom Convoy protesters agreed to relocate from Nelson Square to Waitohi Domain by 16 February. On 16 February, protester organisers abandoned their earlier agreement with local authorities to vacate the site by 5pm and stated that they would remain until the Government's vaccine mandate was lifted. Camp coordinator Craig Tough urged protesters to ignore the Marlborough District Council's trespass notices. By that time, there were at least 150 vehicles including food trucks present at the site. Gang members were also present as well. In response, Mayor of Marlborough John Legett called on protesters to vacate the Nelson Square reserve and stated that the council would work with police to resolve the situation. Dunedin On 10 February, 60 protesters affiliated with the anti-vaccination group Voices for Freedom staged a solidarity protest near the Toitū Otago Settlers Museum in Dunedin. Other regular protests have occurred daily in Queens Gardens. On 12 February, another protest was held in The Octagon. Protesters camped on the site and announced that they would not leave until the Government lifted the country's vaccine mandates. Protesters set up ten tents and two marquees. Local police and the Dunedin City Council (DCC) monitored the protests to ensure that they did not cause trouble. On three separate occasions, Fire and Emergency New Zealand received three call-outs from the police, who had been alerted to fires lit in a brazier by members of the public. Christchurch On 12 February, protesters staged a march to express solidarity with the Wellington Convoy participants. On 14 February, a small group of protesters sent up tents in the city centre's Cranmer Square with representatives announcing that they would not leave until the Government had lifted the country's vaccine mandate. The Christchurch City Council confirmed that it was working with police to liaise with the protesters. Cranmer Square is classified as a reserve under Christchurch's by-laws. On 19 February, a thousand protesters marched through the Christchurch CBD to the Bridge of Remembrance, demanding an end to vaccine mandate rules barring unvaccinated people from certain jobs and venues and objecting to the vaccination of children. Protesters disrupted traffic but Police were not present at the protest. Wanaka In mid February, anti-vaccine mandate protesters occupied Wanaka's Ardmore Street for four days, leading to reports of disorderly conduct and complaints of intimidation from local businesses. Responses Opposition On 9 February, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern stated that the protesters did not represent the majority of New Zealanders, while COVID-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins described the protest as embodying numerous issues and lacking clarity. National Party leader Christopher Luxon criticised the protesters for impinging on other people's freedoms by obstructing roads and travel, while the National Party's COVID-19 Response spokesperson Chris Bishop described the protesters as anti-vaxxers who denied the "fundamentals of science." ACT Party leader David Seymour criticised the protesters for trespassing on public property, while expressing concern about the Government's COVID-19 restrictions. On 12 February, Deputy Prime Minister Grant Robertson stated that protesters lost their right to protest when "they threaten, harass and disrupt people and a whole city." Robertson criticised protesters for intimidating school children wearing masks, blocking roads, disrupting emergency and transport services, and shutting down businesses. Robertson also objected to threats to arrest and execute him and other government ministers including Ardern. On 17 February, the five political parties represented in Parliament (namely the Labour, National, ACT, Green, and Māori parties) issued a joint statement stating that they would not talk to the convoy protesters unless they removed vehicles that were blockading Parliament, removed their tents and other structures, and ceased intimidating Wellingtonians. The statement was issued by Speaker Trevor Mallard in his capacity as the chair of the Parliamentary Service Commission. Local Iwi in Wellington including Ngāti Toa have stated their opposition to the protest, with particular regards to the aggressive behaviour by some protesters, and want a "political solution" to end the situation. On 18 February, 19 community leaders in Wellington issued a joint letter calling for the end of the Wellington Convoy protests. They complained about the harassment and intimidation of local residents, city workers, students, the disruption of traffic and local businesses and institutions caused by the protest and occupation. Notable signatories included Mayor of Wellington Andy Foster, Mayor of South Wairarapa Alex Beijen, Mayor of Porirua Anita Baker, Victoria University of Wellington Vice-Chancellor Grant Guildford, Green Party co-leader and List MP James Shaw, and Wellington Central Member of Parliament Grant Robertson. Support While most New Zealand political figures condemned the Wellington protests, New Zealand First leader Winston Peters, former ACT leader Rodney Hide and former National Party MP Matt King expressed their support for the protesters' right to express their opposition to vaccine mandates. On 8 February, the Social Credit Party released a press statement likewise advocating for an end to the government's vaccine mandate. On 9 February, the New Conservative Party voiced support for the Convoy 2022 protesters' opposition to vaccine mandates and traffic light restrictions on social gatherings. The party also criticised Members of Parliament for allegedly ignoring their electors and trampling on people's rights. They called for a binding referendum to make the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 "supreme law." New Zealand Outdoors Party co-leaders Sue Grey and Alan Simmons attended the protest, and on 10 February released a statement condemning the arrest of protestors. Public opinion polling On 18 February, an online poll of 520 people conducted by Horizon Research showed 30% support the protest and 61% were opposed. On 21 February, David Farrar's Curia Market Research published the results of a poll surveying 312 protesters in Wellington between 19 and 20 February. In terms of origins, 41% of protesters came from provincial cities; 18.9% from towns, 7.7% from rural areas; 17% from Auckland; 8.7% from Wellington; and 6.7% in Christchurch. 55% of the protesters identified as female while 45% identified as male. In terms of ethnicity, 64.4% percent of protesters identified as Europeans; 27.2% as Māori; 4.2% as Asians, and 2.6% as Pacific Islanders. In terms of voting patterns during the 2020 New Zealand general election, 29.8% of the protesters had voted for Labour; 15.9% for the Greens; 15.9% for National, 11.9% for ACT, 8.7% for the New Conservatives, 7.5% for Advance New Zealand; and 3.6% for the Māori Party. The survey found that 76.9% of protesters were unvaccinated; 4.8% had received one shot; 13.8% had received a double shot; and that 2.9% had been triple boosted. The survey also found that most protesters were motivated by opposition to mandates, support for freedom of choice, concerns about children being vaccinated, and the loss of jobs.

The Sierra Espuña is a mountain range in the Region of Murcia, Spain. It is part of the Penibaetic System. The Sierra Espuña Regional Park protects 17,804 ha of the mountain range in the municipalities of Alhama de Murcia, Totana and Mula. The highest peak, also known as Espuña, is at 1,583 metres. The summit itself is a military area. It houses the 13th Air Surveillance Squadron (EVA 13) radar station, part of the Spanish Air Force. By the end of the 19th century, the entire mountain range was in a poor ecological state, with the almost total loss of its tree cover and at risk of desertification. In 1889, the forest engineer Ricardo Codorníu undertook the enormous task of reforesting the entire mountain range. This reforestation task became a model for his time. In 1931 the area was declared a natural site of national interest, and in 1992 it was protected as a Regional Park. It is also listed as a Special Protection Area for birds and a place of community importance (LIC). Sites of interest Ricardo Corníu Visitors and Management Centre The Ricardo Corníu Visitors and Management Centre takes its name from the forestry engineer who reforested the entire mountain range in the 19th century. It is an old mansion located in the heart of the Sierra. The centre has an information area, a Projection Room and an Exhibition Room. Huerta Espuña Next to the Visitor Centre is the area known as Huerta Espuña. It was the centre of operations for the restoration work directed by Ricardo Codorniú, where the first experimental crops were planted to study their viability in this environment. Currently you can see orchards that were used, some of them now in use for projects to recover protected wild flora. Pozos de nieve In the high parts of the sierra are the Pozos de nieve ("snow wells"), ice houses first built at the end of the 16th century to store snow in winter and distribute it in summer in the form of ice to hospitals, cities and towns in the Kingdom of Murcia. These ice houses were in use until the 1920s. Collado Bermejo viewpoint This viewpoint offers one of the best panoramic views of the entire Sierra, located at an altitude of 1,201 m. Barrancos de Gebas The Gebas barrancos (ravines) are to the east of the main sierra below the village of Gebas. They are badlands like a lunar landscape, made up of gullies, canyons and ravines. Fauna and flora Large parts of the Sierra Espuña are covered with pine trees. Oleanders, poplars, elms, birches and willows are found in the riverbeds and ravines. The diverse fauna of the Sierra includes around 120 species of birds, including eagles, jays, hawks, sparrowhawks, eagle owls and larks. Wild boar and squirrels can also be found here. The Barbary sheep was introduced to the Sierra Espuña in the 1970s. Climate The climate of the Sierra Espuña differs from the rest of the Murcia region: there is around 200 millimeters more precipitation per year, and the temperature is around five degrees Celsius below the regional average.

The Agrarian Reform in Peru was a process of land redistribution initiated in the 1960s by struggles of peasants for their land in the Cusco Region and legally implemented by three laws of land reform, of which the land reform law promulgated in 1969 under General Juan Velasco Alvarado changed the country's agrarian infrastructure from a system dominated by haciendas where the peones – in their majority indigenous peasants – worked for their patrones, the hacendados, in semi-feudal relationships, first to large cooperatives controlled by the state and then predominantly to land ownership by smallholders, in the Andes to a large extent within indigenous peasant communities (comunidades campesinas) recognized by the government. For the former hacendados, the government of Peru issued agrarian bonds as compensation for land expropriation. Agrarian society before 1969 The extensive haciendas of Peru were a result of land concentration in colonial times, when the Spanish landlords were assigned pieces of land formerly belonging to the indigenous population. After the independence of Peru, restrictions for landowners to protect the indigenous peasants were lifted, and the haciendas expanded largely at cost of the indigenous communities. In the years between 1900 and 1918, the sugar cane haciendas in Chicama Valley in the Department of La Libertad were acquired by three industrial giants: the Larco brothers (related to the family of José A. Larco), Graham Rowe and Co (British export company) and the Gildemeister family (merchants from Bremen). In the Peruvian constitution enacted in 1920 under Augusto B. Leguía, indigenous communities were recognized as legal entities for the first time in Peruvian history, which gave them the right to land property and legal protection against expropriation by the haciendas. However, in the 1920s there was an uprising of Quechua peasants in the province of Anta against the landlords which was repressed by security forces. In 1936, the rights of the indigenous communities were also included in the Civil Code (Código Civil). The indigenous communities that could prove their historical existence as legal entities got land titles, which gave them legal protection against expropriation by the haciendas. By the year of 2000, 5660 communities were recognized. Preceding agrarian reforms in Peru In November 1962, the military government of Ricardo Pérez Godoy enacted the Agrarian Reform Law D.L. N° 14328. In 1963, the military government of Nicolás Lindley decreed the Agrarian Reform Law (Decreto Ley No 14444) creating the Institute of Agrarian Reform and Colonization (IRAC, Instituto de Reforma Agraria y Colonización) and started a process of Agrarian Reform in La Convención Province and Lares Valley (Department of Cuzco), reacting to land occupations by peasants organized in the CCP (Confederación Campesina del Perú) under the leadership of Hugo Blanco Galdós who were organizing a regional agrarian reform on the own, expelling the hacendados. The third agrarian reform law was adopted by the Peruvian Congress in 1964 when Fernando Belaúnde Terry was president (Ley de Reforma Agraria N° 15037). This reform did not include the large estates on the northern coast, and its application was blocked by a Congress majority of APRA and the right-wing Unión Nacional Odriista. Up to 300.000 peasants in the Andes marched in protest for a real agrarian reform. The Agrarian Reform by Juan Velasco Alvarado A program of agrarian reform was resumed by the Revolutionary Government of the Armed Forces of Peru of general Juan Velasco Alvarado who overthrew Belaúnde's government on 3 October 1968. On 24 June 1969, the Agrarian Reform Law (Decreto Ley N° 17716 de Ley de Reforma Agraria) was promulgated. The government declared the following objectives of the reform: Elimination of large estates (haciendas: latifundios) and smallholding (minifundios) Formation of production cooperatives owned by peasants Restructuring of traditional peasant communities Formation of agriculture based on the common effort of the peasants Creation of new markets by just distribution of entry which improves the acquisition power of marginalized populations Parallel development of primary transformation industries in the field The agro-industrial complexes on the coast were the first to be expropriated. On 26 June 1969, two days after promulgation of the law, armed soldiers entered the sugar haciendas of the northern coast to take the installations and expel their owners. In contrast to Belaúnde's reform, no exemptions for owners of large estates were allowed. Between June 1969 and June 1979, more than 9 million hectares of land representing 15,826 lots were expropriated, benefitting some 370,000 families, much more than the approximately 1 million hectares from 546 haciendas in the time of Belaúnde's government. In the beginning, the expropriated estates were not distributed, but were left intact, concentrated and collectivized. 15,000 expropriated estates were transformed into 1,708 cooperatives. The expropriated landowners had to accept agrarian bonds within 20 to 30 years at an interest rate of 4 to 6% p.a. as compensation. Two types of cooperatives were formed: Agrarian Production Cooperatives (Cooperativas Agrarias de Producción, CAP) and Agrarian Societies of Social Interest (Sociedades Agrícolas de Interés Social, SAIS). The CAPs were formed mainly in the coastal haciendas producing cash crops such as sugar cane, cotton and rice for the external as well as for the internal market, but also in the Andean region of Cuzco, among them the CAP José Zúñiga Letona at the former hacienda Huarán in the Calca District, where the film Kuntur Wachana was made, the cooperative of Ninamarca, whose first director was the famous peasant leader Saturnino Huillca Quispe, and the huge CAP Tupac Amaru II in Anta Province, which produced for the internal market. These cooperatives were owned by the agricultural workers in form of collective ownership. The SAIS were organized as cattle-holding cooperatives owned by agricultural workers grazing livestock and associated with traditional neighboring peasant communities. On 9 May 1972, Law Nº 19400 was promulgated, which dissolved the organizations of the hacendados: the National Agrarian Society (Sociedad Nacional Agraria, SNA), the Association of Stockbreeders (Asociación de Ganaderos) and the Association of Rice Producers (Asociación de Productores de Arroz). Instead, the organization of the beneficiaries of the agrarian reform, the National Agrarian Confederation of Peru (Confederación Nacional Agraria, CNA), was founded on 3 October 1974. The ascription of the former haciendas to cooperatives controlled by bureaucrats and engineers led to great dissatisfaction among the indigenous peasants and the traditional peasant communities who wanted to get back their lands taken from them by the hacendados. Land occupations of cooperative lands started as early as 1973 in the huge cooperative “Tupac Amaru II” also called Machu Asnu (“Old Donkey”) in Anta Province (department of Cuzco), formed out of 105 former haciendas expropriated between 1971 and 1973. The leadership of the cooperative did not even speak the language of the peasants, Cuzco Quechua. The land occupations were organized by the oppositional peasant organization CCP, which had already occupied lands in the 1960s. In the following years, the lands of the cooperative were distributed among the indigenous communities, and in 1980, it was dissolved. Other land occupations took place in the department of Apurimac where the authorities had not even started expropriations of landlords. After the destitution of Velasco by Francisco Morales Bermúdez, the expropriations were continued although in other political areas, the left-wing policies were reversed. Second government of Belaúnde Terry and government of Alan García According to Enrique Mayer, Fernando Belaúnde Terry “did his best to derail the agrarian reform”. However, properties were not returned to the oligarchy, but cooperatives were turned into independent enterprises that could be dissolved by their members. In the following years, most of the cooperative land in the Andes was distributed among indigenous communities and smallholders, resulting in a radical restructuring of land distribution in Peru. Peasants in the Andes, mostly organized in the CCP, recuperated lands by massive occupations, the last of which were the spectacular land occupations in the Department of Puno between 1987 and 1989. By the end of the 1980s, according to Enrique Mayer, the indigenous communities (peasant communities) got most of the land in the Andes, and only partly the cooperatives had been a phase in between, for in many cases, the indigenous peasants of the former haciendas simply refused to turn them into cooperatives, and after that they got the land as a community directly. According to him, “the landowning class was totally eliminated from the countryside” in the highlands. Few cooperatives remained, such as the sheep-holding SAIS Tupac Amaru N° 1 located in Pachacayo (Junín) with more than 200,000 hectares of land as of 2012, still active in 2021 with 30,000 peasants and 16 associated communities. Some cooperatives were destroyed by actions of the Maoist Shining Path during the internal conflict in Peru in the 1980s and 1990s, especially in the regions of Ayacucho and Junín. This was the case with the sheep-holding SAIS “Cahuide” in Junín, which was later distributed among peasant communities and smallholders. Alberto Fujimori Under Alberto Fujimori, Absalón Vásquez, the son of an agricultural worker at the sugar cooperative (CAP) of Casa Grande in Chicama Valley, became agricultural minister. He privatized the remaining sugar cooperatives in this traditional region of sugar production, which by then had been severely indebted to banks, and sold them to the agricultural corporations Gloria (Rodríguez Banda family), Wong and Oviedo at the end of the 1990s.

The Next Portuguese legislative election will take place on or before 11 October 2026 to elect members of the Assembly of the Republic to the 16h Legislature of Portugal. All 230 seats to the Assembly of the Republic will be at stake. Background Politics of Portugal The President of Portugal has the power to dissolve the Assembly of the Republic by their own will. Unlike in other countries, the President can refuse to dissolve the parliament at the request of the Prime Minister or the Assembly of the Republic and all the parties represented in Parliament. If the Prime Minister resigns, the President must appoint a new Prime Minister after listening to all the parties represented in Parliament and then the government programme must be subject to discussion by the Assembly of the Republic, whose members of parliament may present a motion to reject the upcoming government. Date According to the Portuguese Constitution, an election must be called between 14 September and 14 October of the year that the legislature ends. The election is called by the President of Portugal but is not called at the request of the Prime Minister; however, the President must listen to all of the parties represented in Parliament and the election day must be announced at least 60 days before the election. If an election is called during an ongoing legislature (dissolution of parliament) it must be held at least after 55 days. Election day is the same in all multi-seats constituencies, and should fall on a Sunday or national holiday. The next legislative election must, therefore, take place no later than 11 October 2026. Leadership changes Social Democratic Party After the Social Democratic Party's (PSD) defeat in the 2022 legislative election, Rui Rio announced he would not run again for the PSD leadership and would call a snap leadership ballot in order to elect a new leader. A date for the leadership ballot is yet to be known. CDS – People's Party In the 2022 elections, the CDS–People's Party was wiped out from Parliament for the first time in 47 years of democracy. CDS leader Francisco Rodrigues dos Santos resigned on election night and announced that a leadership ballot would be held. On 11 February, it was announced that a new leader will be elected in a party congress on 2 and 3 April 2022. MEP Nuno Melo and 2016 leadership candidate Miguel Mattos Chaves announced they will contest the ballot. Electoral system The Assembly of the Republic has 230 members elected to four-year terms. Governments do not require absolute majority support of the Assembly to hold office, as even if the number of opposers of government is larger than that of the supporters, the number of opposers still needs to be equal or greater than 116 (absolute majority) for both the Government's Programme to be rejected or for a motion of no confidence to be approved. The number of seats assigned to each district depends on the district magnitude. The use of the d'Hondt method makes for a higher effective threshold than certain other allocation methods such as the Hare quota or Sainte-Laguë method, which are more generous to small parties. The distribution of MPs by electoral district in the 2022 general election was the following: Parties The table below lists parties currently represented in the Assembly of the Republic.

Jack's Crows is an album by the American folk musician John Gorka. It was released in 1991. The album's title was supplied by Jack Hardy. "House in the Fields", for which a video was produced, was marketed to country music outlets. Production The album was produced by Dawn Atkinson and Will Ackerman. Its songs are mostly set in the small towns near the border between Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Unlike during the recording sessions for his previous albums, Gorka recorded most of Jack's Crows with all the musicians present in the studio at one time. It was Gorka's intention to move on from the love songs of previous albums to songs about places and people. Shawn Colvin sang on two of Jack's Crows''' tracks. Critical receptionThe Washington Post wrote that "Gorka matches his subtle, intelligent and original songwriting with a deep, thrilling baritone ripe with masculine melancholy, that makes whatever he's singing fairly unforgettable." The Ottawa Citizen stated that Gorka "conjures up characters and landscapes that share an unpretentious dignity and grandeur."The Republican determined that "though ballads dominate, there is sizzle here, particularly on the bleak urban landscape Gorka paints on 'Where the Bottles Break'." The State-Times concluded that "though his calmly academic baritone on Jack's Crows'' tends to put the lyrics at arm's length, the lyrics themselves are so intelligently written that they manage to transcend their aloof presentation." AllMusic noted that "Where the Bottles Break" "is a rockin' song about personal convictions and the real-estate business." Track listing References John Gorka albums 1991 albums

Her contemporary Pierre Dumonstier created a drawing of Artemisia's hand holding a brush which refers to the "hands of Aurora", praising both her beauty as well as her skill as a colorist. Provenance The painting passed through the Arrighetti family before arriving on the art market in Florence in 1974. Bissell believes the patron was Niccolò Arrighetti, associate of Michelangelo Buonarroti, who had commissioned Gentileschi to paint Allegory of Inclination a decade earlier.
