"Summa confessorum"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''''Summa confessorum''''', also known as the '''''Summa de penitentia''''' and the '''''Summa Cum miseratione domini''''', is a 13th-century work on penance by Thomas of Chobham.",
"It began to circulate in 1216 and survives in more than a hundred manuscripts."
],
[
"Publication history",
"Likely a student of Peter Cantor, Thomas of Chobham began writing his work on penance around the same time that annual confession was affirmed as mandatory by the Fourth Council of the Lateran, with Pope Innocent III specifying that priests ought to consider the individual circumstances of the penitent.",
"However, according to F. Broomfield, Thomas' work \"was very little influenced\" by the council, and Thomas might not even have been aware of the canons passed by the council.",
"Its authorship has also been misattributed to several other writers, including Innocent III himself.What came to be referred to as the ''Summa confessorum'' began to circulate in 1216.It attracted a wide readership, especially in colleges and priories, and was one of the most copied penitential works in the late medieval period.",
"Significant portions of the ''Summa'' were either quoted or alluded to in later theological handbooks, including the ''Speculum iuniorum'' ( 1250), the ''Signaculum apostolatus mei'' (13th century), and the ''Speculum curatorum'' (c. 1340).",
"It was also a source for William of Pagula's ''Oculus Sacerdotis''.Over a hundred manuscripts of the ''Summa'' are still extant, with at least a couple dating to the 1480s.",
"A critical edition based on three English manuscripts, titled ''Thomae de Chobham Summa Confessorum'', was published by Broomfield in 1968."
],
[
"Content",
"The ''Summa'' represents an attempt to \"make available the advices and conclusions of the moral theologians to the ordinary priests for specific cases.\"",
"Thomas lays out the agenda of the work in its preface: \"We will more carefully pursue the duties and practical considerations which are necessary for priests to hear confessions and enjoin penances.\"",
"On one hand, Thomas notes that \"if any sin is concealed, there is no confession, no absolution.\"",
"On the other hand, he cautions priests not to ''extriere'' (\"terrorise\") penitents \"lest they push them into obstinacy or despair.",
"\"Thomas begins by defining penance, before discussing the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, and spiritual gifts.",
"After going through the consequences of sin and irregularities in the church, Thomas explores the relationship between the sacraments and a priest's ability to hear confession.",
"Before a cleric can confess, for instance, a priest must inquire if he has discharged his clerical duties or not.",
"Thomas then raises the question of whether or not intellectually disabled people or condemned criminals are eligible for penance.Thomas devotes the most attention to issue of specific penances for specific sins (especially lust, wrath, and greed).",
"However, he stops short of providing a list of \"tariffed penances\", given the possibility of additional factors in individual cases that may problematise them.",
"Thomas examines a considerable range of problems in the ''Summa'', such as breastfeeding, forced castration, and prostitution.Throughout the ''Summa'', Thomas constantly refers to the Bible as well as Peter Lombard's commentaries on the Psalms and the letters of Saint Paul.",
"He also quotes Gratian, albeit without attribution."

"Blue Raspberry (album)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Blue Raspberry''''' is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Katy Kirby, released on January 26, 2024.The album is Kirby's first for Anti-, explores lyrical themes of romantic exploration, and has received positive reviews from critics."
],
[
"Reception",
"Editors at ''AnyDecentMusic?''",
"characterized 15 critic scores as a 7.7 out of 10.Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Marcy Donelson writing Kirby \"moves a step closer toward classic singer/songwriter form with a more reserved, vocals-forward set of songs accompanied by a more subdued band presence and orchestral textures that looked to albums such as Andy Shauf's The Party and Lomelda's Hannah as models\".",
"The Associated Press' Kiana Doyle assessed that the album works because \"Kirby takes her time with each track\" and noting the variety of instrumentation.",
"At ''BrooklynVegan'', Andrew Sacher considers the music genre to be one \"that bridges the gap between Americana-friendly indie and ’70s folk rock, sitting as nicely next to past tourmate Waxahatchee as she would next to a classic Linda Ronstadt record\".",
"A 7 out of 10 came from Tom Kingsley at ''Clash Music'', who noted a Nashville sound and compared this music to Lucy Dacus and Waxahatchee.",
"Writing for ''Dork'', Emma Quin gave this release 4 out of 5 stars, as \"each instrument and texture gets its moment to shine; the production is anything but simple – it is beautiful in its meticulousness.\".",
"Sam Boer of ''Exclaim!''",
"rated this release an 8 out of 10, stating that \"Kirby’s lyrics tend toward clinical precision\" and with this music, she \"marvels at the human desire to blend the lies and truths we embody every day into something delicious\".Another 8 out of 10 came from Adele Julia of ''The Line of Best Fit'', who also praised Kirby's lyrics, writing that on this album, they are \"showcasing its sheer range from the earnest theatrics of \"Drop Dead\" to the quiet craving on \"Wait Listen\"\".",
"''Loud and Quiet''s Tristan Gatward rated this work 7 out of 10, summing up \"the album’s strength is its overall lack of flourish: it’s an unceasing blend of boredom, charm and anxiety – and always innately human\".",
"Critics at NPR's ''All Songs Considered'' included this among the four best albums of the week.",
"In ''No Depression'' Maeri Ferguson ended her review: \"Kirby’s intricate arrangements beckon a close listening of this record.",
"It’s the surest way to catch every devastating inch of her phrasing and the detailed picture she paints with it.",
"To spend the time with Blue Raspberry is to be totally broken apart by it, but like Kirby, eventually pieced back together, ready to jump in again.\"",
"In ''The Observer'', Kitty Empire rated ''Blue Raspberry'' 4 out of 5 stars, writing that \"this set of songs traces the blossoming of a love affair with unshowy instrumentation and understated charm\".",
"Miranda Wollen of ''Paste'' rated ''Blur Raspberry'' an 8.4 out of 10 for being \"a smart, sexy thinkpiece on queer romance in a world on fire\" with a \"calm, steady sense of purpose that carries through, creating a gorgeous, ruminative contemplation on queer desire that will leave longtime fans and new listeners alike bobbing their heads—and reaching for their thesauruses\".",
"The editorial staff included this among the best albums of January.",
"Writing for Pitchfork Media, Emma Madden rated this work a 7.4 out of 10, praising Kirby's lyrics, but critiquing that she sometimes overwrites and continuing that \"the songs themselves are soft and sauntering, built around close-mic’d guitar and piano and occasionally offset with strange, barely perceptible flourishes that evoke subtle unease\".Jon M. Gilbertson of ''The Shepherd Express'' highlighted the tension between artificiality and authenticity in this album, writing that Kirby \"responds to the ersatz with well-crafted naturalism\".",
"In ''The Skinny'', Tony Inglis stated that \"Kirby is funny, scathing and full of clarity about her personal epiphanies\" and emphasized the musician's growth from her first full-length; he rated it 3 out of 5 stars.",
"At ''Sputnikmusic'', BlushfulHippocrene rated this 4.0 out of 5, calling similar to Kirby's last album, but with \"some extremely slight but thoughtful experimentation from Kirby\".",
"Editors at ''Stereogum'' chose this for Album of the Week and critic James Rettig opined that this album \"finds Kirby taking action on those feelings from ''Cool Dry Place'' and stumbling into new struggles\" with lyrics that explore intimate relationships and authenticity.",
"Mark Moody of ''Under the Radar'' gave this work an 7 out of 10, stating that while \"there are a few songs that fall short of ''Blue Raspberry''’s overall mark\", this music is \"as real as it gets and in its most composed moments a confident step forward\".",
"Grant Sharples of ''Uproxx'' included this among the best indie music of the week, calling it \"a masterful exercise in restraint, one in which the most memorable moments come from its quietude\".Prior to the album's release, ''Under the Radar''s Mark Redfern included lead single \"Cubic Zirconia\" among the 10 best songs of the week."

"Spillover of the Israel–Hamas war"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Since the beginning of the Israel–Hamas war, which has mostly been confined to southern Israel and the Gaza Strip, a number of armed clashes and standoffs have been reported in other parts of the Middle East, particularly involving Shia Islamist militias backed by Iran.",
"There has been speculation that any escalation of these incidents, specifically between Israel and Hezbollah—an Iranian-backed Shia militia which is based in southern Lebanon and which is more powerful than the Lebanese Armed Forces (see Hezbollah armed strength)—could bring the entire region into a full-scale military conflict.",
"In addition to the Israel–Hezbollah conflict, the Iranian-backed Houthi militia—which controls parts of northern Yemen, but is not internationally recognized as the country's government (see Presidential Leadership Council)—became directly involved in the conflict by firing missiles at Israeli cities, albeit on a limited scale; the Houthis have since focused more on seizing civilian cargo ships passing through the Red Sea in order to inflict economic losses on Israel and the global economy, evoking American and British airstrikes against Houthi-controlled Yemen.",
"Iranian-backed militias in Iraq and Syria have also mounted numerous attacks against American military bases in the region; these confrontations have increasingly escalated tensions between long-time adversaries Iran and the United States, especially after the 2024 Iranian missile strikes in Iraq and Syria.",
"In the West Bank, over 100 Palestinians have been killed in armed confrontations with Israeli soldiers and Israeli settlers, as violence in the territory increased drastically following the Hamas-led attack on Israel."
],
[
"Background",
"The outbreak of the Israel–Hamas war had followed Hezbollah's declaration of support and praise for the Hamas-led attack on Israel, which took place on 7 October 2023, in which Palestinian factions in Lebanon immediately took part in.",
"In the coming weeks other Iranian-backed groups, such as the Houthis, expressed their support after the 7 October attack on Israel.",
"From the inception of Hezbollah to the present the destruction of the State of Israel has been a primary goal for Hezbollah.",
"Hezbollah not only opposes the government and policies of the State of Israel, but also each and every Jewish civilian who lives in Israel.",
"Its 1985 manifesto reportedly states \"our struggle will end only when this Zionist entity|entity Israel is obliterated.",
"We recognize no treaty with it, no ceasefire, and no peace agreements.\"",
"The Houthi movement is a Shia militant organization which controls northern Yemen and is supported and funded by Iran.",
"Houthis have been accused, particularly by the governments of the United States and United Kingdom, of acting as an Iranian proxy."

"Al-Arouri was also responsible for the expansion of Hamas' activities in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, including attacks on Israelis.",
"The assassination occurred one day before Hezbollah commemorated the 4th anniversary of the assassination of senior Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani.",
"On 6 January, Hezbollah launched approximately 40 rockets into northern Israel, describing it as an \"initial response\" to al-Arouri’s killing.",
"According to Israel, the rockets targeted a strategic Airbase near Mount Meron, causing significant damage to it.On 8 January, Israel assassinated Wissam al-Tawil, the deputy commander of Hezbollah's Redwan Force, whom it accused of carrying out the attack on Meron airbase two days earlier.",
"In response to al-Tawil's killing, Hezbollah launched a drone attack on Israel's Northern Command headquarters in Safed on the following day, situated approximately from the border.",
"Ali Hussein Barji, the commander of Hezbollah's aerial forces in southern Lebanon who was reportedly responsible for the attack, was killed by an airstrike, according to Israel, alongside three other Hezbollah members, in Khirbet Selm shortly before al-Tawil's funeral began.",

"Introduction",
"'''Harvard Records''' was the first house brand used by Sears, Roebuck and Co. for their cylinders and disc records.The masters were leased from Columbia and sold through Sears catalog as a cheaper alternative to the Columbia discs Sears was also offering.",
"It was replaced by the Oxford label through 1906–1907."
],
[
"History",
"Sears had been selling cylinder records under their company name since the 1890s.",
"Harvard was the first attempt at marketing their own records through their catalog as a brand.",
"The name likely came from a nearby street where Sears moved to in 1905.Originally for phonographs, before being applied to cylinder and disc records in the early 1900s.Columbia leased the masters to Sears, with some being as early as 1902.The first discs issued were 7\" with a plain blue label.",
"The next label issued were 10\" with red lettering and trademark flag.",
"Sears continued the label till in 1906, when Oxford was introduced, and the Harvard label was dropped entirely the following year in 1907.Some overstock Harvard phonographs were still being advertised into 1909.Although Harvard was briefly used, it paved the way for Sears' house brands."

"Neoclassical architecture in Tuscany"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Pasquale Poccianti, Cisternone, Livorno'''Neoclassical architecture in Tuscany''' established itself between the second half of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century within a historical-political framework substantially aligned with the one that affected the rest of the Italian peninsula, while nonetheless developing original features.Unlike other regions, where architects often arrived from outside during the years of renewal, the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence directly trained the protagonists of a particularly lively period, especially within the Grand Duchy of Tuscany."
],
[
"Historical context",
"Agostino Fantastici, Montalcino Cathedral, interiorIn the first half of the 18th century Tuscany was largely administered by the grand duchy controlled by the Habsburg-Lorraine, and had Florence as its capital.",
"Then there were a number of smaller entities: the Republic of Lucca, which included the city of the same name and neighboring territories; the Principality of Piombino, which extended over the Val di Cornia and part of the Island of Elba; the State of the Presidi, which essentially included the area of Orbetello and was politically dependent on the Kingdom of Naples; and finally, the Duchy of Massa and Carrara, which governed a small territory facing the sea in the northern part of the region.With the French occupation, the Grand Duchy was succeeded by the Kingdom of Etruria (1801-1807), which also included the State of the Presidi; Piombino and Lucca were united into a single principality, to which the Duchy of Massa and Carrara was also assigned in 1806.In December 1807, the Kingdom of Etruria was suppressed and the grand duchy, still controlled by the French empire, was divided into three territorial departments called \"of the Mediterranean,\" \"of the Ombrone,\" and \"of the Arno,\" with capitals Livorno, Siena and Florence, respectively.At the Congress of Vienna, with the Conservative Order, the Grand Duchy obtained some territorial retouches, with the annexation of the Principality of Piombino, the Presidi State and some minor fiefdoms; in 1847 the Duchy of Lucca was also included.",
"In 1860 the Grand Duchy of Tuscany was annexed into the Kingdom of Sardinia, later becoming part of the Kingdom of Italy."
],
[
"General features",
"The events that affected Tuscany can be essentially distinguished into a pre-revolutionary or at least 18th-century phase, a revolutionary phase coinciding with the French occupation, and a third phase, that of the Conservative Order, which preceded the annexation to the Kingdom of Italy.Architecturally, the first phase was essentially a reaction to the Rococo; the cultural climate established by the Habsburg Lorraine favored the transposition of the Enlightenment into architecture, affirming principles more closely aligned with functionalism, with a new aesthetic ideal based on the use of simple geometric forms and the rejection of excessive ostentation.In the second phase the formal apparatus was affected by Napoleonic influence, with greater derivation from classical Greek and Roman art.During the third period, artistic manifestations were filtered through local tradition, especially that of the Renaissance, thus moving away from the historical foundations that had seen them arise; Neoclassicism, from being a symbol of emancipation of thought and cultural freedom, asserted itself instead as a stylistic code adaptable to the return of the ''Ancien Régime'', in what critics have called \"Romantic Neoclassicism.",
"\"With the annexation of the Tuscan territories to the Kingdom of Italy in the second half of the nineteenth century, Neoclassicism opened up to a variety of pursuits that led to the disintegration of the concept of style, thus paving the way for eclecticism."
],
[
"The Regency Period (1739-1765)",
"Jean-Nicolas Jadot, Triumphal Arch, FlorenceIn January 1739, Grand Duke Francis III made his entry into Florence through the triumphal arch erected by Jean-Nicolas Jadot outside the San Gallo Gate, formally taking possession of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany after the death of Gian Gastone de' Medici and the subsequent regency of Marc de Beauvau, Prince of Craon.",
"Contrary to the tradition of the time, the arch was not an ephemeral work made of wood, canvas and plaster, but rather constituted a structure in permanent plan, taking up a theme from Roman art of particular symbolic significance, inaugurating the spread of this typology in the neoclassical era.",
"The arch designed by Jadot, placed before the ancient medieval walls of Florence, thus foreshadowed the renewal that would soon affect the architecture of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.The regency age constituted the preparation and platform for the subsequent reforming action that Grand Duke Peter Leopold would promote after the death of his father Francis in 1765.Although with various limitations and not without difficulties, the first period of the Lorraine grand duchy was characterized by the implementation of a comprehensive plan aimed at the knowledge of the territory and the better exploitation of natural resources: this includes, for example, the ''motu proprio'' for the protection of the botanical society (1739), the founding of the ''Accademia dei Georgofili'' (1753), the commissioning of Odoardo Warren to draw the plans of the cities of the grand duchy, the drafting of a general topographical map of Tuscany commissioned from Leonardo Ximenes, the drafting of a report on the natural history of the countries of the grand duchy published by Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti between 1751 and 1754, the renovation of the baths of San Giuliano, and the work on the imperial canal of Lake Bientina.",
"The Regency also favored the development of cultural services, both in the capital and in the smaller centers of the grand duchy, with the opening and renovation of a series of libraries and theatrical spaces, from Pontremoli to Siena, from Prato to Pisa, passing through the reconstruction in masonry of the hall of the Pergola Theater in Florence.Carl Marcus Tuscher, project for the facade of the basilica of San Lorenzo, in FlorenceIn general, this period was characterized by an architecture devoid of ostentation.",
"The layout of the new baths of San Giuliano, the design of which was drawn up between 1744 and 1762 by architects Giuseppe Ruggieri, Ignazio Pellegrini and Gaspare Paoletti, constitutes a significant example of this architecture: among the simple buildings of the baths, imagined as the fulcrum of development of a new inhabited settlement, the central building, which stood out exclusively, distinguished by the window-balcony motif and the clock above it.",
"Also recalled is the design for the new Livorno suburb of San Jacopo: a regular-mesh plan layout, somewhat akin to the design of the contemporary Borgo Teresiano in Trieste, with dwellings characterized by sober facades and the search for maximum simplicity of distribution in the plan.",
"The same essentiality is found in the design for a market square to be built near the church of San Pierino, Pisa (1749), in the facade of the church of San Giuseppe (1759) and in the Marucelliana library in Florence.In other words, the Lorraine period had inaugurated a more measured design attitude than the one held during Gian Gastone's grand duchy, with a few apparent exceptions, such as the church of Santa Felicita (completed in 1739), the bell tower of San Lorenzo with its flattened bulbous finial (1740) and the continuation of the sumptuous Princes' Chapel; works that constitute the last reflection of the Medici period, as they had been begun prior to the Regency or commissioned directly by Princess Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici.In this context, Ignazio Pellegrini's monumental designs for the royal chapel and theater in the Pitti Palace, or for the new entrance to the Uffizi Gallery, were deemed unrealistic and did not find implementation; other architects, such as the brothers Giuseppe and Ferdinando Ruggieri, were willing to moderate their ambitions and found greater fortune in commissioning, although they never adhered to a neoclassical language; for example, the facade of San Filippo Neri and the ribs on the interior walls of Santa Felicita, designed by Ferdinando, appear far removed from the authentically neoclassical invention constituted by Carl Marcus Tuscher's proposal for the facade of San Lorenzo (1739)."

"From Peter Leopold to Ferdinand III (1765-1799)",
"Gaspare Paoletti, the Terme Leopoldine (center) and the Tettuccio spa (right), in Montecatini TermeIn 1765 Peter Leopold became Grand Duke of Tuscany, ending the Regency Age.",
"An enlightened ruler, he was not a true patron of the arts and consistently demonstrated an attitude of prudence toward the costs of architectural undertakings.",
"Careful administration and the obvious goal of containing state expenditures, however, did not limit the realization of works of public utility, which perfectly embodied the period of ideological change desired by Peter Leopold, such as the reorganization of the grand duchy's hospitals, the new lazaret at Livorno, the refounding of the thermal baths of Montecatini, the building of the new cemeteries in Livorno and Florence, the reclamation of the Maremma, Val di Chiana, and Val di Nievole, the rewards distributed for the foundation of farmhouses in the Pisa and Siena provinces, and even the construction of new roads and the renovation of existing ones.In 1784 he founded the Florence Academy of Fine Arts, entrusting its direction to Gaspare Paoletti, who, albeit as a continuer of the Renaissance tradition, can be considered the initiator of neoclassical style in Tuscany.",
"Paoletti, who boasted an excellent preparation on both architectural and technical levels, transmitted this dual aptitude to his pupils, precisely in the years when the split between the ''Académie des beaux-arts'' and the ''École polytechnique'' was taking place in Paris.Zanobi del Rosso, hall of the Niobe, Uffizi Gallery, FlorenceAn expert in hydraulics, he is mainly credited with the refounding of the baths of Montecatini, with the construction of the Bagno Regio, the Terme Leopoldine and the Tettuccio.",
"Also noteworthy is the design, which remained on paper, for a circular bathhouse with an uncovered inner basin bordered by an annular colonnade, which, if realized, would have represented the most interesting stylistic achievement of Tuscan architecture of the period.Between 1766 and 1783 Paoletti worked on the villa of Poggio Imperiale, in Florence, enlarging the previous Medici building with the formation of two side courtyards characterized by a measured neoclassical language; he built the rear facade, the ballroom on the main floor and constructed the stables.In the same years he was engaged in the construction site of the Pitti Palace.",
"While for the construction of the new forepart of the façade, on the Via Guicciardini side, he limited himself to reproposing the loggia that Giuseppe Ruggieri had employed in the rondeaux placed towards the Via Romana, inside the palace he built, with the contribution of the brothers Grato and Giocondo Albertolli, the refined \"Hall of the Stuccoes\" (1776-1783), which, because of its use of the Corinthian theme and the stucco decoration, can be related to other neoclassical designs of the time, such as the aforementioned ballroom in the villa at Poggio Imperiale and the room created by Zanobi del Rosso to house the sculptural group of Niobe inside the Uffizi Gallery.",
"Beginning in 1781, again for the Pitti Palace complex, he began construction of the ''Palazzina della Meridiana'', which was later taken over by his pupil Pasquale Poccianti.Giuseppe Manetti, Palazzina Reale delle Cascine, FlorenceGiuseppe Del Rosso, Oratory of Sant'Onofrio, DicomanoWhile the rest of Tuscany recorded the construction of few architectural works of formal and stylistic relevance (such as the new wing of the conservatory of San Niccolò, in which Giuseppe Valentini melded Neoclassicism with clear references to Mannerism), an interesting opportunity for comparison among architects occurred when the grand duke requested the project for the new building of the Cascine farm in Florence.",
"In 1785 the experienced Paoletti and the young Giuseppe Manetti presented two different proposals: the former, attempting to combine elegance with economy, prepared a design for a building used as a stable and hayloft placed in the center of two farmhouses; the latter, showing greater inventiveness and an obvious link with the architectural aesthetics of the Enlightenment, conceived instead a large porticoed hemicycle, with a taller building hinged between the two semicircular arms, the whole bordered by two pronaos flanked by two conical icehouses.",
"Paoletti's modest design, judged \"miserable in idea,\" was discarded, while Manetti's, considered too wasteful, was approved in 1787 only after being extensively scaled down and simplified.",
"Despite the limitations of the commission, Manetti succeeded in giving architectural dignity to the design of the central building through the inclusion of pierced pillars, the terracotta facing of the base portico, and the motifs of the ornamental roundels.In 1790 Pietro Leopoldo left the government of Tuscany to assume the imperial investiture, and his son Ferdinand became grand duke in a period marked by great unrest.",
"The only major construction site he managed to start was the one for the Livorno aqueduct, the work on which, begun in 1793 by Giuseppe Salvetti, suffered several interruptions and proceeded amid many difficulties.",
"Even the arrangement of the Cascine park designed by Giuseppe Manetti, with the construction of the pyramid-shaped ice-house and the round aedicule of the \"''Pavoniere'',\" are to be considered more as the completion of works begun in the Leopoldine era, rather than the actual initiatives of Grand Duke Ferdinand.In domestic politics, the new grand duke did not repudiate his father's reforms that had brought Tuscany to the forefront in Europe, preceding in some fields even the French Revolution then in progress, but he tried to limit some of their excesses, especially in the religious sphere, with the restoration of outward practices of worship.",
"With the return to the devotion of the saints, the architect Giuseppe Del Rosso, before devoting himself to the construction of the neo-Gothic chapel of Our Lady of Consolation in the cathedral of Arezzo, was commissioned by the Delle Pozze family to design the oratory of Sant'Onofrio, in Dicomano (1792); despite its modest dimensions, the oratory constitutes a true manifesto of Enlightenment architecture for Tuscany and is notable for its rigorous proportions, preceded by a tetrastyle Ionic pronaos and tympanum on the façade."

[
"The Napoleonic period (1799-1814)",
"In 1799 Ferdinand III was forced into exile in Vienna because of the precipitating political situation in the peninsula and the rise to power of Napoleon Bonaparte.",
"The Bonapartist period conditioned the affairs of the region for about fifteen years.",
"Tuscany, including the Principality of Lucca, experienced a radical transformation of institutions; the few years of the empire were enough to draft and start ambitious projects, which were completed after the restoration of the Lorraines and, in some cases, with the unification of Italy.The Academy of Fine Arts in Florence was also reformed and joined by a conservatory of arts and crafts.",
"In 1813, along with the most famous institutes in the empire, it was invited to submit a design for a monument to be erected on Mont-Cenis; among the entries admitted to the competition were Giuseppe Manetti's ''Colossus of the Eagle'' and the triumphal arch designed by the group formed by Giuseppe Del Rosso, Giuseppe Cacialli and Luigi de Cambray Digny.Pasquale Poccianti, facade of the Medici villa of Poggio Imperiale, FlorenceAmong them, Giuseppe Cacialli was the most successful architect during the years of Napoleonic rule.",
"Surpassing his rival Pasquale Poccianti, who in 1809 was sent to Livorno as a community architect despite boasting greater seniority, Cacialli obtained the appointment as architect of the royal palaces and possessions, a body tasked with the maintenance of property passed from the Lorraine to Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi.",
"Early in his career he found himself collaborating with Poccianti in the extension of the Medici villa at Poggio Imperiale initiated by Gaspare Paoletti, but their respective contributions are nonetheless distinguishable: thus, while Poccianti is credited with the central part of the facade, Cacialli is credited with the bulk of the work.",
"The author of academic and elegant decorative compositions, Cacialli was also distinguished for his work on the rearrangement of the Pitti Palace (Iliad Room, Hercules Room and Maria Theresa's bathroom) and the Napoleonic quarter of the Medici Riccardi Palace.Whereas Giuseppe Del Rosso, appointed municipal architect in Florence, proved to be a modest planner and ranged from the restoration of ancient monuments to the design of the Pia Casa di Lavoro in Montedomini, in the \"Department of the Ombrone,\" the few notable neoclassical architectural works of the period can be traced to the figure of Agostino Fantastici: notably, in Siena, the project for the transformation of the convent of Sant'Agostino into a lyceum (of which only the grandiose external portico would later be built) and, in Montalcino, the cathedral of the Santissimo Salvatore, which was designed from 1813 and built only during the Conservative Order.In Pistoia, where the forms of Enlightenment classicism had been introduced by the Palazzo Vescovile Nuovo erected by Stefano Ciardi beginning in 1787, the contribution of a pupil of Paoletti's, Cosimo Rossi Melocchi, is noteworthy; his Pantheon of Illustrious Men, designed in 1811 and not completed until 1827 in much reduced form compared to the original plan, shows an adherence to the themes of revolutionary architecture in the rough elevation interrupted by a portico with massive Doric-order columns.Giovanni Lazzarini, Porta Elisa, LuccaA very lively cultural climate was experienced in Lucca; the city, subject to France but not part of the former territories of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, became almost a model and a benchmark for the region's Napoleonic-era town planning.",
"In 1805 Élisa Baciocchi obtained control of the Principality of Lucca and Piombino, to which the territories of Massa and Carrara were later annexed.",
"During the administration of the future Grand Duchess of Tuscany, the towns of Carrara, Viareggio and Bagni di Lucca were enlarged, while under the guidance of architect Giovanni Lazzarini, often assisted by Théodhore Bienaimé, a series of important construction sites were started: the construction of Piazza Napoleone, achieved by gutting a substantial portion of Lucca's historic center; the opening of a gate in the shape of a triumphal arch and a connecting road dedicated to Élisa; the renovation, in a neoclassical style, of the summer residence of Marlia; the enlargement of the cemetery outside the San Donato gate; the transformation of some religious complexes to other uses; and the design of the ''Teatro del Giglio'', work on which began in 1817.Along with Lazzarini, a number of other architects gravitated to Lucca.",
"In 1812 Pasquale Poccianti, who in those same years was engaged in the completion of Livorno's aqueduct, was also called to Elisa Baciocchi's court, but his contribution was limited to a few projects of monumental urban structures in the neoclassical style, which, moreover, did not find implementation."

[
"From the Conservative Order to Unification (1814-1860)",
"Pasquale Poccianti, monumental staircase of the Pitti Palace, FlorenceWith the Conservative Order, that generation of talented architects trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence under Gaspare Paoletti became the protagonists of a particularly dense and interesting period for the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.Upon his return to Tuscany in September 1814, Grand Duke Ferdinand III set up a major program for the construction of works of public utility: for example, new roads were built in the territory of Arezzo, the new aqueduct came into operation in Livorno (1816), the road system in Maremma was upgraded, and the vast and functional ''Dogana delle Filigare'' was erected on the Bolognese road to the design of Luigi de Cambray Digny (1818).In several cities, old blocks were demolished to open new squares.",
"In Florence, in 1824 Gaetano Baccani prepared the plan for the enlargement of the Piazza del Duomo, with the creation of a vague portico of neoclassical style on the south side; statues of Arnolfo di Cambio and Filippo Brunelleschi were inserted in the central loggia of the new Palazzo dei Canonici on the cathedral's southern flank to celebrate the values and protagonists of local culture.",
"Alongside this project and the initiatives for the continuation of Via Cavour, there is the one for the widening of Via dei Calzaiuoli, which was approved, with several modifications, only in 1842.With the same criterion, in Pisa, the old monastery of San Lorenzo was demolished in order to create the Piazza Santa Caterina (completed in 1827 by Alessandro Gherardesca), the old Monumental Cemetery was rearranged into a museum, and a section of the Lungarno was laid out.",
"In Arezzo, with the work on the road to Ancona, plans were made to regularize and connect the two levels of Piazza Sant'Agostino and to place a statue there, later actually erected in Piazza Grande.Still in Florence, the Goldoni theater was inaugurated in 1817, and a few years later Giuseppe Martelli was engaged in the transformation into a girls' boarding school of the former monastery of the Santissima Concezione, inside which it is worth mentioning the very refined spiral staircase in pietra serena surmounted by a lead caryatid, which the sculptor Luigi Pampaloni placed at the top of the central column to give stability to the structure.",
"In addition, the Royal Loggia (1821) was built to the design of Luigi de Cambray Digny, while Pasquale Poccianti, promoted first architect of the royal buildings by Ferdinand III and destined to establish himself as the principal architect of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, became interested in the construction of the new staircase and vestibule of the Pitti Palace, the connecting corridor to the Specola rooms, completed the ''Palazzina della Meridiana'' with the design of the southern façade, and built the ''Sala d'Elci'' for the expansion of the ''Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana''.",
"While Renaissance memories converge in the neoclassical code of Poccianti's three-aisled vestibule and staircase characterized by superimposed columns, for the addition of the Michelangelo library the architect resorted to the insertion of a refined neoclassical rotunda, without, however, seeking any connection with the pre-existing structure.Rodolfo Castinelli, temple of Minerva Medica, MontefoscoliPrivate initiatives include the palace on Via Ghibellina (1821), commissioned by Prince Gaetano Borghese from Gaetano Baccani, where the imposing rustic facade surmounted by a slender Ionic colonnade stands out.",
"To the same period date roughly the Pantheon built inside Villa Puccini of Scornio in Pistoia, probably the work in which the language of the eclectic Alessandro Gherardesca reached the purest neoclassical quality for the lightness and harmony of the whole, and the grandiose Villa San Donato in Novoli, designed by Giovan Battista Silvestri for the Demidoff family.Also interesting is the figure of Rodolfo Castinelli, who, after designing the ballroom of the Goldoni theater with neoclassical style, built the temple of Minerva Medica of Montefoscoli in memory of Andrea Vaccà Berlinghieri's father, drawing with ease on Roman and Etruscan archaeological memories.This revivalistic liveliness, which looked to distant iconographic repertoires of local tradition, also emerges in the twin monuments of Volterra designed by Giuseppe Del Rosso in 1830 (with dolphins and herms of Janus) and in the wooden chair, in the Empire style and with neo-Egyptian inserts of Piranesian style, that Agostino Fantastici designed for the University of Siena.In any case, most of these architects did not exclusively adhere to the neoclassical style, but, in parallel, devoted themselves to designing works in the neo-Gothic style, with a revaluation, typical of Romanticism, of the anticlassical repertoire: on the one hand, neoclassical architecture corresponded to the ambitions of the restored monarchies, while on the other hand, neo-medievalism presaged an evolution in the concept of the redemption of national autonomy.Meanwhile, Lucca and its territories, united in a state independent from the rest of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany until its annexation in 1847, also witnessed the realization of a series of public works.",
"In 1818 Lorenzo Nottolini, who had been a pupil of Giovanni Lazzarini, assumed the appointment of royal architect; he was also active as a restorer, urban planner, and hydraulic engineer, also receiving commissions from private individuals.",
"His contributions include: the aqueduct (1822-1833), the Orsetti chapel in the suburban cemetery (1824), the Monastery of the Angel, the Villa Borbone in Viareggio, and the Catene bridge near Bagni di Lucca.Luigi de Cambray Digny, Church of Saints Peter and Paul, LivornoHowever, it was Livorno, a free port of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany animated by intense cultural exchanges with foreign countries, the city in which Restoration Neoclassicism achieved its best results; an affirmation that coincided with Leopold II's ascension to government (1824-1859) and the founding of the local \"School of Architecture, Ornament and Surveying\" (1825).The ambitions of a growing city were reflected in the design and construction of important public utilities.",
"For the new quarter of Casone, south of the city, Cambray Digny hypothesized the opening of a gateway on the southern bastion of the Medici curtain wall, envisaging, on the outside, a regular street scheme; according to the indications contained in the plan, the church of Saints Peter and Paul (1829) was built on the edge of the new settlement, in which the neoclassical themes of the façade are diluted in the portico with round arches derived from 15th-century Tuscan architecture.",
"Soon after, the transformations extended to the rectification of the surrounding ditch and the demolition of the ancient Medici walls, with the expansion of the free port area.",
"However, the motion of expansion of the city, exemplified by the vast Piazza dei Granduchi built by Luigi Bettarini to connect the historic center to the Lorraine suburbs, was countered by the limit set by the new customs wall designed by Alessandro Manetti (1835-1842); the original compositions of the customs gates are, however, due to Carlo Reishammer, who took up some of the stylistic features of Ledoux's architecture, juxtaposing canopies, staircases, pillars and other ornamental cast-iron elements.Pasquale Poccianti, Cisternino di Pian di Rota, LivornoGiuseppe Cappellini, Casini d'Ardenza, LivornoAt the same time, Poccianti devoted himself to the works necessary to upgrade the aqueduct completed a few years earlier; the architect's attentions focused mainly on the design of several reservoirs intended for water storage and filtration: the ''Purgatorio di Pian di Rota'' (1841-1852), characterized by a strongly dilated layout marked by two semicircular exedras at either end and a stern Tuscan pronaos on the façade; his masterpiece, the ''Cisternone'' (1829-1842), with the portico surmounted a \"revolutionary\" semi-dome decorated with coffers, which translates into reality the daring inventions of Étienne-Louis Boullée and Claude-Nicolas Ledoux; the ''Cisternino di città'' (completed around 1848), with a basilica plan and a slender loggia raised above the massive basement.",
"Altogether, these are three buildings arising from the union of elementary geometric volumes, where French influences are combined with an evident knowledge of Roman thermal architecture and the Tuscan architectural tradition.",
"Moreover, in the architect's intentions (later, in fact scaled down in the execution phase), the aqueduct work was supposed to be accessible from the city to the springs, in a sort of didactic route through tunnels, arches and inspection huts built in the forms of neoclassical temples.Other architects who worked in Livorno, such as Gaetano Gherardi, Giuseppe Puini, Giuseppe Cappellini and Angiolo della Valle, were influenced by Poccianti.",
"Gherardi, a professor at the local \"School of Architecture, Ornamentation and Surveying,\" was responsible for the large church of Soccorso (1836) with Brunelleschian references, the church of Sant'Andrea and the adjoining Girolamo Gavi Seminary; Puini was responsible for the church of San Giuseppe (1839), with the lacunar splay on the façade reminiscent of that of the ''Cisternone''; at Cappellini, the Casini d'Ardenza, an original composition built in the 1940s as part of the renewal of Livorno's seafront, and the Goldoni theater (1843-1847), characterized by a glazed roof for daytime performances and the only one among Tuscan theaters to present itself with an important formal exterior appearance conferred by the majestic carriage porch; at Della Valle, the church of San Giorgio and the new English cemetery (1839).",
"Also worth mentioning in this context are the vast plans, which remained on paper, prepared by Cambray Digny and Giuseppe Martelli for the new hospital (1832) and the covered market in Livorno (1849), respectively; outsized gigantism took shape instead in the ''Pia Casa di Lavoro'' begun on a design by Alessandro Gherardesca in 1845 and later completed by Angiolo della Valle.Beginning in the 1840s, there was a certain amount of activity in Florence as well: the start of work on the extension of Via dei Calzaiuoli, the approval of the plan for the new Barbano quarter (1842), the reorganization of the Lungarni, the opening of the Leopolda and Maria Antonia Stations, and the construction of the heavy Stock Exchange building, designed by Michelangelo Maiorfi and Emilio De Fabris along the course of the Arno River.",
"This included the inauguration of the Tribune of Galileo, a room located inside the Specola Museum (1841); designed by Giuseppe Martelli and characterized by a bright polychromy and an overabundance of ornamental elements, it constitutes a mirror of a neoclassical style now oriented toward eclecticism, especially when compared with Poccianti's austere addition for the Laurentian Library, also inaugurated in the same year.Torello Niccolai and Angelo Pacchiani, church of San Pier Forelli, PratoOther cities in the grand duchy also witnessed intense building and urban planning activity.",
"These include the church of Santa Maria Assunta in Montecatini (1833) and the rectory of Saints Giusti and Clemente (1842-1845), designed respectively by Luigi De Cambray Digny and Agostino Fantastici by resorting to tetrastyle porticoes of the Ionic order; the facade of the oratory of San Francesco in Bibbiena (1829), by Nicolò Matas; and the elevation of the church of San Giovanni Evangelista in Ponsacco (1832-1836), by Alessandro Gherardesca; the church of San Pier Forelli (1838) in Prato, by Torello Niccolai and Angelo Pacchiani; the Teatro Petrarca in Arezzo (opened in 1833), by Vittorio Bellini; the Teatro Metastasio in Prato (completed in 1830), designed again by Cambray Digny; the Palazzo del Tribunale, in Pontremoli (1840), by Angiolo Cianferoni; the Teatro degli Animosi, built in Carrara to a design by Giuseppe Pardini (1840); the Napoleonic Museum at Villa di San Martino on Elba Island (1851), designed by Matas for Anatoly Demidov.With the development of industrial activities, it is worth noting the increasing use of metallurgical products, which found use especially in the construction of bridges, such as the suspended bridge at Poggio a Caiano (1833) by Alessandro Manetti and those at San Ferdinando and San Leopoldo in Florence, by the Séguin brothers.",
"Alongside these works of engineering is the church of San Leopoldo in Follonica, a work by Reishammer characterized by numerous cast-iron elements, such as the pronaos, the façade rose window, the apse, the tip of the bell tower and some interior furnishings (1838), which together with the Porta San Marco in Livorno, also by Reishammer, heralds new and striking scenarios in the field of architecture."

"After the unification of Italy",
"The election of Florence as the capital of the Kingdom of Italy marked the watershed, in Tuscany, between Neoclassicism and neo-Renaissance eclecticism.The task of updating the image of the new capital, with a series of urban and architectural interventions in order to adapt the city to its function, was entrusted to Giuseppe Poggi, who had been a pupil of Pasquale Poccianti.",
"Poggi took care of every detail, from the detailed plans down to the architectural scale, giving it an imprint that ran between an adherence to Neoclassicism and a natural reference to Renaissance models.",
"The most significant part of his entire work is the hilly expansion of the city, with the Viale dei Colli and Piazzale Michelangelo, conceived as a belvedere over the city.",
"There he built a loggia according to neoclassical and neo-16th-century canons, which was to form part of a Michelangelo museum.Between 1885 and 1895 there was also the redevelopment of the historic center; an operation outside the Poggi plan that led to the gutting of the area around the old market, with the construction of new blocks, quite anonymous and undifferentiated, in neoclassical and neo-Renaissance styles.",
"After all, after the unification of Italy, Tuscan and, more generally, Italian architecture turned toward a line that exalted what was considered the national style par excellence, namely that of the Renaissance; a predominantly secular architecture, embodied by the typology of the sixteenth-century palace, which was perfectly suited to the rapid expansion of the cities."

"Chamelea striatula"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Chamelea striatula''''', the '''striped venus clam''', is a marine bivalve mollusc of the family Veneridae which inhabits the northern shores of Europe."
],
[
"Description",
"The valves of ''Chamelea striatula'' are robust and not very convex, with a beak which is prominently bent towards the shell's anterior and sits behind a clearly delimited lunula.",
"The valves appear nearly triangular: The beak sits anterior to the center of the valve, and the dorsal margin behind it runs with a very slight curve all the way down to the lower margin of the shell, giving the posterior end a point.",
"They commonly grow to about 3 cm in size.",
"The ligament is inset, and both valves' hinges have three cardinal teeth but no lateral teeth.",
"The pallial sinus is triangular and very small.The interior lower margin is finely crenelated and the outside of the shell is marked by many regular concentric ridges.Well preserved or live specimens typically have a pattern of darker rays or zigzags on a lighter background, and are cream coloured or brown with a lighter inside."
],
[
"Distribution",
"The bivalve can be found from Norway to Morocco, and is known also from Madeira and the Canary Islands.",
"Its range extends into the Mediterranean, where it coexists with the slightly larger common venus clam (''Chamelea gallina'').",
"The two live sympatrically on the coast of Algarve, in the Gulf of Cádiz, the Strait of Gibraltar, and the Alboran Sea.Fossil valves are common in the North Sea, where they are likely not older than the Holocene or Pleistocene."
],
[
"Taxonomy",
"There are two living species in the genus ''Chamelea'', ''C.",
"striatula'' and ''C.",
"gallina'', whose independence from each other was supported by genetic evidence in 1994 and 2017.Generally, ''C.",
"gallina'' is thought of as a Mediterranean and ''C.",
"striatula'' as an Atlantic speciesIn the 10th edition of Systema Naturae, Linné named ''Venus gallina'' based on the Mediterranean species, not accounting for the presence of an extremely similar venus clam on the northern coasts of Europe.",
"Many authors quickly coined names for this overlooked species and its many slight morphological varieties, most notably Da Costa's ''Pectunculus'' ''striatulus'' (1778), which today is the basis of record for ''Chamelea striatula''.",
"Other notable obsolete names include Pennant's ''rugosa'' (1777), technically the first one to be coined, and Montagu's ''laminosa'' (1808), which describes a deep water variety with almost lamellose ridgesAs was convention at the time, British conchologists paid attention practically exclusively to the animals' shells, and rarely to the animal itself.",
"Only in 1853 did Forbes and Hanley describe the most reliable way to distinguish ''striatula'' from ''gallina'': the former's siphonal tubes are fully joined, while the latter's are separate and much shorter.",
"The characteristic traits of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean form were often understood to form a continuum, which made their separation a matter of opinion"

"Monastery of Toumliline"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Monastery of Toumliline''' (French: ''Monastère de Toumliline'') was a Benedictine monastery in Toumliline, Morocco.",
"It was the only Benedictine monastery in Morocco and hosted the ''International Meetings'', an annual interfaith conference."
],
[
"History",
"===Foundation===The monastery was founded in 1952 when 20 Benedictine monks from the abbey of En-Calcat arrived in Toumliline upon invitation of the archbishop of Rabat.",
"At the time, the region was known for insecurity as there was a growing national movement and the European monks were seen as suspect.",
"While the French authorities tried to persuade the monks to convert the local Berber population, the monks refused to corporate, explaining that their purpose was to lead a contemplative life and that any convert would be an outcast in their own country.",
"Only after a year did the local population make contact with the community and a school was opened as was a dispensary for the sick.",
"When in Summer 1954 a group of Arab nationalists from a nearby detention camp was forced to build a water pipe between Toumliline and Azrou, the monks under abbot Dom Denis Martin served the overseers as well as the prisoners mint tea.",
"One of the prisoners, Driss M'hammedi, would become foreign minister after the independence of Morocco.===Prime and the ''International Meetings''===Starting in 1952, Dom Denis Martin started to organise annual pilgrimages to Toumliline for young Catholics.",
"Each had a certain topic: in 1952, \"Reflect on our role together: discover and respect, love and serve Moroccan culture\" (50 participants), in 1953, \"How to connect with our Jewish and Muslim brothers and sisters\" (200 participants) and in 1955 \"Warnings against syncretism by those insufficiently trained in faith in Christ\" (500 participants).",
"When additionally in 1955 a nearby summer camp was closed by French authorities on suspicion of nationalist activities, the organisers asked the monks to host them, the monks welcomed them and gave them talks on diverse subjects.",
"This sparked the idea of creating summer cultural sessions that would be termed \"Interational Meeting\".In August 1956, the first \"International Meeting\" took place at the monastery shortly after the French colonial rule ended.",
"Mohammed V, who appreciated the solidarity of the Catholic and Protestant churches with the Moroccans during their independence fight and maintained good relations with archbishop Louis Lefèbvre, served as patron for these conferences.",
"Though there were fears that Morocco's Liberation army would attack the attendance, the Liberation army protected them by an arrangement of two friends of Dom Martin: the minister of interior and the governor of Rabat.",
"During that first meeting, 850 Christians, Jews and Muslims from twelve nationalities participated in the 52 lectures.Debate between conference participantsMany prestigious professors from universities all over the world, including Harvard, Sorbonne, Cairo, Baghdad and Japan attened the sessions.",
"These included the Jewish-French philosopher Emmanuel Levinas, the French ethnologist Germaine Tillion, the Iranian Islamic scholar Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Catholic Islamicists Louis Massignon and Louis Gardet.",
"Other people in attendance included the Arab socialist Mehdi Ben Barka, the American philosopher F. S. C. Northrop as well as the Moroccan princess Lala Aicha who gave a talk on the role of women building the new Morocco.",
"A high Muslim official went so far to call Toumliline \"a lesson and a school, a center for cohabitation between Christian and Moslem.In the 1960s, the monks founded upon the request of Sub-Saharan attenance two monasteries in the Ivory Coast and Burkina Faso: St. Marie de Bouake and St Benoît de Koubri.",
"Christian de Chergé, who would later become one of the murdered monks of the Abbey of our Lady of the Atlas in Algeria, spent during this time several summer holidays in the monastery.",
"Thomas Merton, who met Dom Denis Martin (whom he said was \"experimenting with a new kind of monastic life\"), expressed in 1963 in a letter to Jean Leclercq his admiration for the monastery and his desire to go there.",
"At its peak, the monastery numbered forty monks.===End===The final conference, titled \"International Co-operation\", took place in 1964.In 1965, in response to leftist protests, king Hassan II dissolved the parliament and declared a state of exception.",
"While he suppressed political parties, he also made it clear to the monks that because of their liberalism and influence on the Berber countryside their presence was not welcome any more.",
"At the same time, the monks were having economic difficulties as their water supply dried and they were swindled out of all their capital.",
"By 1968, the community consisted of only seven monks and in June that year they were told by the king they had to leave the monastery.",
"That winter, the final three monks returned to France and though some hope had remained to return, the monastery was sold to the government."
],
[
"Legacy",
"Though the monastery closed down, the Catholic Church continued Christian-Muslim dialogue, opening the an inter-faith and study center in Rabat in 1980-81 and supporting the formation of the ''Groupe de Recherche Islamo-Chrétien'' in 1977 which still exists today.The buildings of the monastery were used for the filming of the movie \"Of Gods and Men\" in 2010.For this purpose, the film crew reconstructed some of the buildings and put red stained glass into the disused chapel.",
"The survivors of the Trappist community lived at this point in the nearby priory of our Lady of Atlas where the film crew visited them during the filming.As of 2022, the buildings were again in a state of poor conservation.",
"Thus, in May 2022 the foundation of \"Memories for the Future\" and the Department of Water and Forests signed an agreement to preserve the buildings and develop cultural tourism that enhances the exceptional heritage of the site.",
"That same year, a conference took place between Moroccan and French organisations that agreed to hold another meeting of similar character at some point at the site of the monastery."

"Lagosteiros Natural Monument"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Lagosteiros Natural Monument''', near Cape Espichel, in Sesimbra, Portugal, is a Portuguese protected area created in 1997, consisting of dinosaur trackway ichnites."
],
[
"Geologic context",
"The Lagosteiros site is included within the Lusitanian Basin and is the most recent dinosaur track site in the Cabo Espichel region, having been formed approximately 130 to 120 million years ago, during the Early Cretaceous, when the western margin of Portugal had flat, marshy and muddy terrains.",
"Those soft sediments eventually lithified into limestone strata, thus preserving the footprints of the dinosaurs that there roamed.",
"Tectonic motion in the region has rotated the strata from its original horizontal layout to a north-dipping attitude of 45°."
],
[
"Natural monument description",
"===Location===Location panorama, looking east.Of great natural beauty, the Lagosteiros Natural Monument and its tracks are nowadays located on, and immediately adjacent to, the edge of the cliff that defines the northern side of the ''Lagosteiros Bay'', and approximately 1400 meters away NNE from Cape Espichel.",
"The tracks are visible in a stratum of yellowish-brown limestone.Due to the strata's northwards dip, and the cliff walls that further rise above the site to the east, the best time of the day for visiting is during the afternoon, when the Sun strikes the rock bed at a good angle, shading the tracks in contrast with the illuminated rock, as seen in the photographs here.",
"During a short period around the winter solstice, the Sun will not rise high enough in the sky to illuminate the natural monument, leaving it shaded.===Ichnology===The main trackway at the site.Tracks of bipedal dinosaurs, theropods and herbivores are visible on the surface, in different orientations.",
"Among the numerous tracks, a long main trackway stands out with large footprints, attributed to a bipedal animal.",
"An approximately rectangular mark is visible on the side of this trail, possibly a tail mark.",
"Theropod tracks feature the characteristic tridactyl footprints, pointed at the ends of the digits."

"Jop Horst"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Jop Horst''' (Rome, September 27, 1961 - Hengelo, January 12, 2014) was a Dutch visual artist and filmmaker, living and working in Hengelo.",
"His oeuvre includes various types of media and techniques, such as kinetic installations, drawings, paintings, experimental films, video art and performances.Horst studied at the Academy of Visual Arts St. Joost in Breda (1982-1986), and at the AKI in Enschede (1986-1988).",
"In 1991 he received a Start-up Grant for Visual Arts from the Dutch state."
],
[
"Work",
"Horst's work, in spirit akin to Dada and Fluxus, is investigative, explorative, playful, humorous and often elusive.",
"He had a special interest in the number zero (0), as something that does not exist and is intangible, which inspired him to create various works, such as the ''Zero Counter'': a device made with adhesive tape that continuously adds up 0 to 0.He was also fascinated by the phenomenon of sleep.",
"At the same time, his work is an exploration into the basics of moving image technologies.While he already made computer animations in the 1980s, he rediscovered various analog techniques during the digital revolution in the 1990s.",
"As such, Jop Horst was an early artistic practitioner of media archaeology.An important part of his oeuvre is made up of his 8 mm films (whether or not made in collaboration with Joris Baudoin), such as ''Het Gele Bakje'', ''Ploatje droaie'' and ''Ei, ei, ei''.",
"He often reused images from these films in cinematic installations.",
"To that end, he modified and appropriated all kinds of technical devices, such as a record player, toaster, or fan, to create movement and images in unconventional ways.",
"Noteworthy are also his installations with overhead projectors, showing live mosquito larvae projected onto walls.",
"Among his well-known 'film sculptures' are \"Sleepwalker I\" (1995), with a rotating projection through which a man walked through a space, \"3D Zoetrope\" (1995), being a zoetrope with a clay animation, as well as \"Large Random Zoetrope\" (1989), which made the exhibition space - a floor of an old windmill, part of the zoetrope.",
"Due to the temporary, site-specific, and often improvised nature of Horst's experimental works, relatively little of his work has been preserved.In the 2000s, Horst created a large number of video and audio works, sometimes in combination with 8mm films, as part of performances or installations, in which he also used other media.",
"In his last years, Horst was best known for his absurdist drawings and 'drawings for 1 euro'."
],
[
"Exhibitions",
"Jop Horst's work has been featured in numerous exhibitions and festivals in the Netherlands and abroad, among them shows at Montevideo, W139 , Arti et Amicitiae, and Nederlands Filmmuseum (all in Amsterdam), De Molen (Hengelo), De Bank (Enschede), Extrapool (Nijmegen), Open Air Filmfest (Weiterstadt, Germany), Kunstruimte Berlijn (Berlin, Germany), Artephobia (Graz, Austria), and Pofferd de Nul (Antwerp, Belgium).",
"For a full list, see the official website.Horst's last exhibition, during his life, was at the Rijksmuseum Twenthe, as a participant in a retrospective of 25 years of Media Art at the AKI/ArtEZ, under the title 'Playing on the border of the impossible' (2012-2013).",
"There he showed various objects that are typical of his own way of thinking about and approach to art, such as 'Kicking soldier' and 'Fighting soldiers in a box'.",
"Horst's sculpture 'Viewpoint' (''Blik'') (2012) is located in Tuindorp 't Lansink in Hengelo.",
"After his death, a retrospective exhibition took place in Zaal-Zuid in Hengelo (installations, drawings, paintings and films), and in Rijksmuseum Twenthe in Enschede (installations and drawings).",
"Jop Horst's films are included in the collection of Eye Filmmuseum, Amsterdam."
],
[
"Collaborations",
"Horst collaborated with various artists, on installations, films (often with Joris Baudoin), performances, exhibitions and publications.",
"Horst also frequently collaborated with artists' organizations, such as Visual Arts Foundation \"Ag\" in Hengelo, and the Dutch broadcast station PARK TV (for media art).In addition, Horst was co-initiator of various artist initiatives, such as the ''Hengelo sleeping club'' (with Pieter Baan Müller and Ricardo Füglistahler), ''FAB5'', ''Reuzendoders'' and the band ''IQ-loze Mietjes'' (in which Horst was active as a drummer).",
"In the late 1990s, Horst was part of the artist collective 'Diascoop', together with Ida Lohman and others, which made performances with magic lantern projections.",
"Finally, Horst also did live video shows, in collaboration with music producer Martin Oude Kempers, operating under the names CRO II and Quantum Leap."

"New Amsterdam's windmills"
],
[
"Introduction",
"New Amsterdam and its people; under Dutch and early English ruleIn September 1609, Henry Hudson, accompanied by around 20 sailors, navigated the ''Halve Maen'' (Half Moon) into present-day New York Harbor.",
"Tasked by the Dutch East India Company to discover a route to Asia, Hudson's journey instead led to the Dutch staking claim over an area they named Nieuw Nederland, encompassing what are now parts of the U.S. states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut.",
"Between 1625 and 1626, the newly formed Dutch West India Company founded a settlement at the southern tip of Manhattan to serve as the capital and main trading hub of the colony, dubbing it Nieuw Amsterdam, which would eventually evolve into New York City.A map, ''Manatvs gelegen op de Noot Riuier'' (Manhattan situated on the North River) with windmills at Paggank and Manna Hata marked in legend, the 4th was at '''F''', site of the slave quartersIn 1626, the first windmill in the settlement was constructed by Franchoys Fezardon on the northwestern tip of Governors Island.",
"This windmill was funded by the company and described as a Sawmill used to cut the stand of hardwood trees found on ''Noten Eylandt''.",
"In 1639, it was leased by '''Van Twiller''' along with other small buildings.",
"However, as time went on, the windmill lost its functionality and was burned at the Director's request in 1648.The iron work of the windmill was salvaged before its destruction.",
"It was the first windmill in New Netherland."
],
[
"Chronology",
"The second windmill was known as the '''Old Fort Windmill'''.",
"Originally a gristmill, its construction commenced in 1628.By August of the same year, the mill was operational.",
"During this period, Fort Amsterdam consisted of a modest stockade with sodded earthworks.",
"The mill was planned to include a tower to display bells seized during the 1625 Dutch capture of San Juan, located in Puerto Rico.",
"The mill eventually ceased operations between 1663 and 1664.Construction of the third windmill (''dutch.",
"Saeg Moolon'') also began in 1628.Positioned a short distance south of the Old Fort Windmill and west of the fort's southwestern bastion, this windmill initially functioned as a sawmill before transitioning into a grist-mill.",
"It operated continuously until the latter part of 1659, as it is absent from the Castello Plan, a map created by Surveyor General Jacques Cortelyou in 1660.Notably, all three windmills, are depicted on the Manatus Map of 1639.Between 1633 and 1635, a horse-mill was built within the fort in New Amsterdam, doubling as a space for religious services led by Dominie Everardus Bogardus before a permanent church was established.",
"On July 26, 1636, the horse-mill was destroyed by a fire caused by a spark from a guard's salute igniting the thatched roof.",
"Historical records and maps do not show any windmill within the fort itself.There is, however, mention of three windmills in the area in a 1638 report by new director Kieft: the Old Fort Windmill, which was a grist-mill; a saw-mill located southwest of the fort; and a windmill on Governors Island that was out of repair.",
"The horse-mill that burned down was within the fort.4 miles to the north on the East river the Company housed the slaves brought in 1624 to work on the colony.",
"The Saw-kill mill at E74th Street and Avenue A was a sawmill which supplied the wood used to build the colony's houses, it was listed on the Manatus map as F:Slave quarters and by 1639 its use supplying timber was limited."
],
[
"Windmills below the wall",
"The Old Fort Windmill, unlike its successors, was subject to frequent rules and regulations imposed by the Dutch authorities to govern milling operations.",
"Director Peter Minuit was the first to implement regulations for this mill.",
"It was made available to anyone who wanted their grain ground, provided they paid for its use and donated a specific amount of flour to the government, as required by law.",
"This arrangement worked smoothly until Director William Kieft arrived in 1638.Kieft, who was more skilled in business than administration, decided against renting the mill.",
"Instead, he devised a system where the taxed flour was essentially sold back to the residents in the form of bread.",
"The duration of this arrangement is unknown, but it is worth noting that the Company bakery, constructed in 1635, was situated near Pearl and Whitehall Streets.",
"In 1638, Kieft appointed Abraham Pieterson as the miller and instructed him to operate the mill based on a percentage basis.",
"In 1640, due to the miller's lack of popularity, Pieterson was removed from his position, and Phillip Garretson was appointed as his replacement.Upon his arrival from Holland in 1647, Director Peter Stuyvesant made the decision to take control of the mill under the Company's account.",
"On August 15, 1648, he appointed Jan DeWitt as the miller with a monthly salary of forty florins ($16.00).",
"Stuyvesant instructed DeWitt to only grind grain with a certificate from the mill's comptroller.",
"Two years later, a census conducted in New Amsterdam disclosed a population of one thousand inhabitants and 120 houses.The Fall of New AmsterdamThe Old Fort Windmill stood out from other mills that followed it due to the extensive rules and regulations imposed by the Dutch authorities to oversee milling operations.",
"Director Minuit was the first to introduce regulations specifically for this mill.",
"In February 1652, an ordinance was passed to regulate the Old Fort Windmill.",
"The preamble of the ordinance acknowledged the complaints received from inhabitants about the inconvenience of not being able to get their grain ground, or about receiving subpar ground grain.",
"Later that same year, another ordinance was enacted to regulate mill tolls for grinding.",
"Following this, Pieter Cornelius was appointed as the miller.",
"However, Director Stuyvesant was not entirely satisfied with Cornelius' management, leading to the appointment of Abraham Martense Klock as the new miller in 1656.Unfortunately, Klock's tenure was short-lived.",
"Subsequently, Willem Bogardus, the eldest son of the schoolmaster and a clerk in the secretary's office in New Amsterdam, was appointed as the comptroller of the mill on September 27, 1656.Running the mill on the Company's account did not meet Stuyvesant's expectations.",
"On March 19, 1658, he made the decision to lease out the mill to the highest bidder.",
"However, despite the opportunity, no bids were received.",
"After a few weeks of unsuccessful attempts, Stuyvesant gave up the mill monopoly.During this time, the Old Fort Windmill encountered numerous difficulties.",
"The oak timbers of the superstructure became weakened, requiring constant repairs to the wooden-toothed gears and yardarms.",
"The overall condition of the mill became hazardous.",
"By the following year, the upper millstone had worn down significantly, rendering it nearly useless.",
"In response, Stuyvesant reached out to the West India Company in Amsterdam, requesting a new pair of millstones.",
"However, in September 1660, the Company director in Amsterdam replied to Stuyvesant, stating that they were unsure about the required size of the millstone, as they had consulted several millwrights who had no information on it.",
"They requested more precise information from Stuyvesant to proceed with the request.",
"Following Stuyvesant's request, a pair of millstones was shipped aboard the ship Love.",
"Unfortunately, the vessel encountered an accident while leaving Texel and had to return for repairs.",
"This delay resulted in the delivery of the millstones to New Amsterdam being postponed until 1661, when the mill was recommissioned.",
"The old mill remained in use until 1662, when the superstructure started to crumble, leading to the cessation of operations.The old mill was greatly missed by the community, as it not only fulfilled its milling function but also served as a prominent landmark.",
"Its elevated position provided a vantage point to oversee the settlement, the river, and the shores of Brooklyn.",
"Additionally, it served as a warning system for ferrymen operating between Pecks Slip and Long Island, alerting them to incoming inclement weather.",
"The phrase \"'''''provided that the windmill hath not taken in its sails'''''\" was a common expression, referring to the mill's sails as a supposedly infallible barometer indicating the approach of bad weather.Even at the time of the English takeover in 1664, the remains of the old mill were still standing.",
"Its presence is specifically mentioned in the 23rd Article of the Terms of Capitulation.The capitulation of Peter Stuyvesant in New Amsterdam (by Charles Hemstreet)On August 27, 1664, Richard Nicolls, the English commander, acting on instructions from England, delivered an ultimatum to the Hon.",
"Mr. Stuyvesant, the current governor, demanding surrender at the old mill by Monday morning at eight o'clock.",
"On September 8, Stuyvesant led his soldiers out of Fort Amsterdam while English troops entered the city.After the English takeover, some of the wooden and iron components, as well as the millstones, from the old mill were repurposed in the construction of its successor, the Garrison Windmill on the Common."

"End of the mills in NYC",
"On October 19, 1727, the assembly passed legislation to prevent the export of flour that had not passed inspection, aiming to ensure the quality of flour being produced and sold.",
"Following this, on October 22, 1750, town inspectors urged farmers and millers to more diligently monitor their flour's quality.Over the years, milling methods remained relatively unchanged, though new regulations were introduced periodically.",
"Despite this, the milling industry in New York was largely left to operate independently, and for a considerable time, New York remained a leading milling hub in North America.",
"Nonetheless, competition began to rise in other regions by 1730, with the construction of water-mills in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, which utilized fast-flowing mountain streams ideal for milling.",
"Additionally, there was an uptick in the use of tide-water mills along the Atlantic coast, diversifying the milling infrastructure.By 1765, as tensions with Britain increased and the American colonies moved towards independence, there was a significant westward and southward migration from New York City.",
"Agriculture expanded into new territories, and Manhattan's windmills, which had been sufficient for local needs, could no longer compete with the numerous water-mills in other regions with better access to water power.Additionally, Manhattan's agricultural lands were being subdivided into streets and building lots due to urban development.",
"The Revolutionary War further impacted New York's milling industry by disrupting foreign trade, particularly affecting the lucrative West Indies market where New York had held a near-monopoly since 1665.As a result, New York's role as a milling center began to decline, overshadowed by competition and the city's own industrial and commercial diversification.",
"By the early 19th century, Baltimore had taken over as the milling capital of the United States.",
"Over time, the milling industry continued to migrate, eventually establishing itself in Buffalo, New York, which became a prominent milling city."

"Many Rwandan Tutsis raised in refugee camps in Uganda wanted to move to Rwanda, but President Juvénal Habyarimana (term 1973–1994) prevented their return.",
"In 1986, some of the refugees formed the Rwandan Patriotic Front, and began demanding the right to resettle in Rwanda.",
"They formed a militia and in October 1990, began marching towards Kigali, beginning the Rwandan Civil War.",

"Ndangiza joined the relief teams organised in Uganda and followed the troops to Byumba."
],
[
"Career",
"===Women's rights and protections (1990s–2002)===In Byumba, Ndangiza started a programme called SOS Ramira (from kuramira, meaning to save).",
"She worked with other women to help returnees, survivors, orphans and other displaced children to find clothes, basic medicines, food, and other essentials.",
"When the government began setting up social agencies they turned their attention to teaching people skills such as carpentry, farming, and sewing, so that they could earn an income.",
"When the Rwandan Patriotic Front took control of Kigali, Ndangiza made her way to the capital city.",
"She worked with Aloisea Inyumba, the Minister for Women and Family Promotion, on issues that women were facing as a result of the war.",
"There was no existing structure for the Ministry, which had previously served as a propaganda mechanism for the war.",
"Those who had to rebuild it from the ground up, were unpaid for the first year, while trying to provide urgently needed support and relief to survivors and victims of the Rwandan genocide.",
"As had been the case in Byumba, initially the needs were for clothing, medical supplies, and basic necessities.",
"This soon shifted to helping and training women to find employment.",
"In 1995, Ndangiza served as the coordinator between the Ministry for Women and Family Promotion and UNICEF.Ndangiza became chair of a task force to create a National Women's Council, with the goal of uniting women and helping them move past their differences and work together on development and empowerment.",
"Their strategic planning sessions discussed how to increase women's participation in decision making and economic initiatives, while cultivating allies in the transitional legislature.",
"The structure decided upon was a national council acting as an umbrella network for provincial, district, sectional, and local councils through which their concerns and needs could be filtered.",
"The goal was to organise and prepare women throughout the country to become advocates for themselves, so that they would be ready to press for their rights when the first post-genocide elections occurred.",
"The first elections to the councils were held locally in 1996.One of the women's first tasks was to review existing legislation which disadvantaged women and discriminated against them.",
"Calling together legal analysts and gender experts, the councils made proposals to change laws such as those preventing women from inheriting property.",
"As the genocide had created many women-led households, it was important to prevent any possibility of distant male relatives taking over their homes and the land they needed to feed their families.",
"Other reforms Ndangiza worked on included a woman's right to control and administer her own assets, to open a bank account, to have joint control with her husband if they were married, to obtain a divorce, and for the children to derive nationality maternally.",
"There were also efforts to pass legislation against family violence and child rape.",
"Because of the large number of orphans and displaced children in the country, Ndangiza worked to establish a foster care and adoption system.",
"Initially the Ministry for Women and Family Promotion organised orphanages to receive displaced street children and refugees returning from places like the Congo.",
"As most of the children were too young to remember their families, they did not know if they were Hutu or Tutsi, which made it easier for them to come together without the knowledge of the history of ethnic conflicts.",
"Recognising that orphanages deprived children of a family setting, they launched the Shelter for Women programme, which aimed to provide housing for women, including returnees and widows, so that they could bring children into their homes.",
"She worked with Inyumba until 1999 and then with her successor Angelina Muganza until 2002.===Policy development and monitoring (2002–2009)===Inyumba had moved on to serve as executive secretary for the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission and Ndangiza succeeded her in 2002.The executive secretary was responsible for leading the commission.",

"Beginning in 2001, state institutions were decentralised to give more autonomy to local and regional governments.",
"At the local level, committees were elected and represented on a council at the district level, governed by mayors and deputy mayors.",

"The new executive secretaries were required to undergo an annual performance review to determine if they were meeting upward goals at the national level and downward goals in the local communities.",
"In addition, the commission created curricula for schools that would promote peace and reconciliation and introduced conflict resolution training under a civic education initiative for university students, released prisoners from the genocide, and the general public.",
"Annually, a National Summit for Reconciliation was held to allow representatives of all levels of society, including educators, religious leaders, and NGO administrators to offer observations and suggestions for the future.",
"Ndangiza led the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission until 2009, when she was replaced by Jean Baptiste Habyarimana.===Regional governance posts (2009–2023)===In October 2009, Ndangiza was appointed as the Rwandan ambassador to Tanzania and moved to Dar es Salaam.",
"Simultaneously, she became the first ambassador from Rwanda to the Seychelles in 2010.Among the issues she focused upon were increasing trade and transportation systems, promoting tourism, and decreasing piracy.",

"As one of the speakers at the 2014 Women in the World Summit held at New York City's Lincoln Center, she spoke about how Rwanda had become a leader of women's representation in governance, with 63 percent of the members of parliament being women.",
"To achieve those levels of representation, she stressed that countries had to build spaces that allowed women to feel safe and able to speak.",
"That year, she helped organise a pan-African conference, ''Silencing the Guns: Women in Democratisation and Peace Building in Africa'' sponsored by the African Union in Kigali.",
"The purpose of the conference was to explore the causes of conflict and violence, and to recommend pathways to maintaining peace through the lens of gender.",
"She advocated for educational programmes which included men in advancing women's rights.",
"When the HeForShe Campaign was launched in 2015, she stressed the importance of men becoming advocates for women's issues noting that success for developmental goals they wanted to achieve would be harder to reach if half of the population was not engaged or participating.",
"Ndangiza was chosen by Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, the first woman to chair the African Union Commission, to lead the first ever all-woman election observer mission for the African Union.",
"The first election they oversaw was the September 2016 parliamentary election in the Seychelles.In 2017, Ndangiza was elected as one of Rwanda's nine members on the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA), a regional legislative body for the nations of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and South Sudan.",
"She was appointed to serve on the Legal Rules and Privileges Standing Committee in 2018, and elected as its chair.",
"She also served on the Committee on Regional Affairs and Conflict Resolution, and was elected chair in 2021.One of the bills she helped shepherd through approval was aimed at integrating the oaths taken for the institutions of the East African Community, such as for the East African Court of Justice, as the member nations have differing legal systems and requirements.",
"She was part of a team of members of the EALA Parliament who visited Burundi in 2018 in an attempt to begin repairing the Burundi–Rwanda relations, which had been deteriorating for several years.",
"That year she also participated in the deliberations of the EALA weighing whether the assembly should take a more active part in the stalled peace talks underway at the Intergovernmental Authority on Development with regard to South Sudan.",
"Other legislation Ndangiza supported were against gender-based violence, genocide, human trafficking, and terrorism.",
"She also put forward a measure with Mary Mugyenyi of Uganda for the upcoming elections to require member nations to nominate candidates with a balanced gender slate.One of the first initiatives of 2022 that Ndangiza supported was the creation of an East African Legislative Assembly's Women Caucus.",
"Fatuma Ibrahim Ali (Kenya), Wanjiku Muhia (Kenya) and Pamela Simon Maassay (Tanzania) brought the motion and discussion to the floor, which was supported by the MPs.",
"Ndangiza was elected as the Secretary-General of EALA Women Caucus.",
"In December, she was elected to a second term in the EALA, on a slate of members from Rwanda which included six women for its nine posts.",

"She and Mo-Mamo Karerwa of Burundi where the only women elected to the commission.",
"Critical issues supported by Ndangiza in the term included the ratification of protocols and implementation of laws to further the integration of the East African Community, such as shared economic and budgetting processes, import/export regulations and tariffs, information and technology, legal jurisdictions for the East African Court of Justice, meteorological services, and foreign policy coordination.",
"Ndangiza stressed that foreign policy cooperation was a critical component in instances where one member nation did not have diplomatic relations abroad, but another member state did and could act to represent the diplomatic interests of the other.",
"She stated that the protocols were inter-dependent, meaning that for example, a single currency for the East African Community could not be moved forward without integration of the underlying customs regulations and implementation of common market policies.",
"In 2023 and 2024, she worked on a health initiative aimed at improving health services through integration of privacy protections, broadening access to high-quality health services, and utilising shared technology to reach the goal of universal health coverage throughout the region by 2030."

"It serves around 4 million customers in 797 branches with more than 15,500 employees, with a customer share in Austria around 31.2% as of December 2022.In 2020 it had total assets of €277 billion, ahead of Raiffeisen Bank International (€166 billion), UniCredit Bank Austria (€119 billion), and BAWAG Group (€53 billion), making it the largest Austrian banking group.",
"The group has a complex decentralized structure but relies critically on Erste Group Bank AG, which owns the main local savings bank in Vienna, operates central functions, owns and manages subsidiaries outside of Austria, and consolidates group accounts.Since the entry into force of European Banking Supervision in late 2014, the entire Sparkassengruppe Österreich has been directly supervised by the European Central Bank, with Erste Group Bank AG as a consolidating entity.",
"This stands in contrast to Germany, where the Sparkassen are supervised individually as separate entities and have no significant foreign operations.The Österreichischer Sparkassenverband acts as the national representative body of the Sparkassengruppe Österreich."

"History",
"Graben No.21 in Vienna, erected for the Erste Spar-casse in 1837-1839 on a design by Alois Pichl and seat of Erste Bank until 2015Palais Gutmann at 3 in Vienna, seat of the ''Girozentrale'' from 1939 to 1997, expanded to Beethovenplatz 2 (left) in 1969, and used by Erste Bank following the 1997 merger until 2005; repurposed in 2012 as the Ritz-Carlton Hotel ViennaThe first Austrian savings bank, as its name indicates, was the ''Erste österreichische Spar-Casse'' which opened on in Vienna.",
"Other savings banks were founded in subsequent years on an associative basis () by individuals such as aristocrats, clergy, senior civil servants, or doctors and pharmacists.",
"As a counterweight to private banks, the savings banks were intended as purpose-driven institutions against the impoverishment of the population and as instruments for the accumulation of wealth by the working classes.",
"With the Savings Bank Regulation () of 1844, the establishment of municipal savings banks () also became possible, the first one in 1853.A boom of new savings banks began in 1866, with the number increasing from 26 to 210 in 1910.The model statute of 1872 abolished the previous restriction of savings banks services to \"less well-off classes\" and the degressive interest rate (the interest rate fell with the level of deposits); they now became \"financial institutions of a humanitarian nature\" () that could do business with all classes of the population.",
"Savings banks were created in other parts of the Habsburg Monarchy, such as the Laibacher Sparkasse in today's Ljubljana (est.",
"1820), Cassa di Risparmio di Venezia (est.",
"1822), Cassa di Risparmio di Milano (est.",
"1823), Böhmische Sparkasse (est.",
"1823), First National Savings Bank of Pest (est.",
"1840), and First Croatian Savings Bank in Zagreb (est.",
"1846).A first central financial institution for the savings banks, initially joint with cooperative banks and with main geographical focus on Bohemia, was created in 1897 in Prague, the ''Deutsche Kreditgenossenschaft für Böhmen''.",
"It changed its name in 1901 to , and relocated to Vienna in 1916.It was liquidated in 1926.The economic difficulties after the First World War could only be overcome because the legislature allowed the savings banks to carry out new tasks, especially current account business and cashless payment transactions as well as foreign exchange and currency trading.",
"After a brief period of prosperity after 1924, the most difficult years in the history of the savings bank followed between the economic crisis of 1929 and the end of the Second World War.",
"Between 1938 and 1945 under Anschluss, the Austrian savings banks adopted some features of the German system including the creation of the .",
"In 1939, the was established as a centralizing organization for the German savings banks along similar lines as the German that had been created in the previous four decades.After the currency stabilization in 1952, the savings bank system underwent its most successful phase to date, with extremely high growth rates, although there were also strong government restrictions to combat inflation until the 1970s.",
"In 1957, the ''Girozentrale'' was restructured from its Anschluss-era legal form under public law to a joint-stock corporation, the ''Girozentrale der Österreichische Sparkassen AG'', subsequently renamed ''Girozentrale und Bank der österreichische Sparkassen AG'' in 1965.In 1979, through the Banking Act and the Savings Banks Act, the savings banks were placed on an equal footing with other credit institutions, which meant a significant expansion of their scope of business.",
"Volunteers were replaced on savings bank boards by full-time executives, and most state regulations were phased out.",
"At the same time, the branch network and the associated number of employees kept expanding.",
"In order to offer all financial services, numerous subsidiaries in the insurance, leasing and investment sectors were founded.",
"There were also two major waves of mergers with a significant reduction in savings banks from 162 in 1979 to 75 in 1995.Waves of mergers reduced the total number of savings banks to 128 in 1983, and 74 in 1994.The Austrian savings banks sector underwent major structural change in the 1990s.",
"Following new legislation in 1986, many savings banks transferred their operations to joint-stock subsidiaries, which allowed the latter to raise external equity capital.",
"In 1990-1991, the country's largest savings bank, Vienna's Zentralsparkasse, acquired the state-controlled Länderbank and renamed itself Bank Austria.",
"Also in 1991, the ''Girozentrale'' purchased a retail bank, the , and renamed itself the ''GiroCredit Bank der Sparkassen'' in 1992.In 1994, Bank Austria took over control of GiroCredit, but in 1997 it absorbed Creditanstalt-Bankverein and moved decisively away from the savings banks space, selling GiroCredit to the ''Erste Österreichische Spar-Casse''.",
"The latter merged with GiroCredit and took the name ''Erste Bank der oesterreichischen Sparkassen AG'', in shorthand Erste Bank, henceforth the savings banks' dominant financial institution.In 2001, the savings banks agreed to form a or mutual support pact, which was later designated as an institutional protection scheme (IPS) under EU law.",
"In 2003, the ERSTE Foundation was created and became Erste Bank's parent entity.",
"Meanwhile, the group expanded to 12 Eastern and Southeastern European countries.Erste Group Bank was founded in 2008 to serve as holding company, fully owning Erste Bank in Austria (now known as ) and also owning the group's foreign operations.",

"History",
"Pickwick Records had used the Startrax name as a sub-label since 1976 for budget compilation albums.",
"In 1981, with a craze for medley recordings making the British singles chart, Pickwick used the Startrax name for session musicians recording medleys for release on the label; as Pickwick had no track history of releasing singles, the sub-label Picksy was created, and a logo similar to that on the Stars On 45 releases was used.The first release, \"Startrax Club Disco\", was a medley of covers of songs by the Bee Gees, topped and tailed by a sting written by producer Bruce Baxter, who had produced many of the Hallmark Records Top of the Pops cover albums.",
"The singer was Alan Carvell, who had had minor hits (under the name Steve Allan) as part of The Carvells and with a solo version of \"Together We Are Beautiful\", and who laid down all the vocal tracks.",
"The popularity of medleys at the time was such that, when the recording entered the top 30 in the UK charts, there were 7 medleys in the top 30.Ultimately Startrax peaked at no.",
"18 and Carvell appeared with other session musicians on Top of the Pops.",
"An album featuring more Bee Gee tracks followed, which made the top 30 of the album charts.",
"The follow-up was a reggae medley single and album set (which also began and ended with the Startrax theme), but neither made the charts."

"Gorgonophontes"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''''Gorgonophontes''''' is an extinct genus of mantis shrimp that lived during the late Carboniferous period in what is now the United States and Belgium.",
"It contains two named species.",
"The type species, '''''G.",
"peleron''''', was described in 1984 by Frederick Schram based on 100 specimens found in Nebraska and Iowa.",
"A second species, '''''G.",
"fraiponti''''', was first named from multiple specimens found near Liège in 1922 and later reassigned to the genus.A small crustacean with a total length of around , this animal had a subrectangular carapace, a telson that narrows into a spike at the end, and four pairs of maxillipeds enlarged into raptorial appendages, the frontmost pair being larger than the others.",
"It has been suggested to be a benthopelagic predator, using these appendages to capture prey, possibly from above, while swimming over the seabed."
],
[
"Discovery and naming",
"The first fossils of ''Gorgonophontes'' to be discovered were found decades before the genus was named.",
"In 1922, Victor van Straelen described nine fossil specimens made up mostly of pyritized material on black shale, which were collected from lower Westphalian-aged deposits near Liège, Belgium.",
"He believed they represented three new species, which he named ''Perimecturus fraiponti'', ''Palaeocaris lohesti'' and ''Anthracomysis rostrata'' respectively.",
"These specimens were sent to the collection of the University of Liège paleontology museum, where they remain today.",
"Although van Straelen drew figures of the fossils he assigned to each species, these figures do not adequately reflect the anatomical features seen in the actual specimens.",
"Later, all the specimens initially studied by van Straelen would be discovered to actually represent only one species.",
"''Palaeocaris lohesti'' and ''Anthracomysis rostrata'' were therefore declared as junior synonyms of ''Perimecturus fraiponti''.The genus ''Gorgonophontes'' was first named in 1984 by Frederick Schram, who initially established it as a monotypic genus containing only the type species, ''G.",
"peleron''.",
"He reported that 100 specimens of ''Gorgonophontes'' had been found in the upper Pennsylvanian-aged black shales of Nebraska and Iowa, occurring in the Oread, Dennis and Swope formations.",
"The holotype specimen, SDSNH 4393, was collected from the Stark Shale member of the Dennis Formation near Papillion, Nebraska.",
"The generic name references the Gorgons from Greek mythology, while the specific name is derived from the Greek word ''pelor'' meaning 'monster'.In the same publication, Schram states that examination of the ''Perimecturus fraiponti'' material has found it to actually be a member of the genus ''Tyrannophontes'', renaming it as ''Tyrannophontes fraiponti''.",
"However, in 2004 Lothar Schöllmann found that the species was actually more similar to ''Gorgonophontes'' than to ''Tyrannophontes'', thus renaming it again as ''Gorgonophontes fraiponti''.",
"Later, Schram publishes a paper in 2007 reexamining Paleozoic stomatopods in which he independently reached the same conclusion that ''Gorgonophontes'' is the proper genus for this species."
],
[
"Description",
"''Gorgonophontes'' was a crustacean of moderate size, measuring approximately in total length.",
"Antennae were present on the head, though these are poorly preserved, with only the scaphocerite (the large exopod of the antenna) well-preserved in the fossils of ''G.",
"peleron''.",
"The carapace had a subrectangular shape, with short \"wings\" extending posteriorly on its sides.",
"The last three thorax segments are not covered by the carapace and instead left exposed.The maxillipeds on the second to fifth thorax segments are enlarged and raptorial, with the pair on the second segment being most enlarged (about 1.34 times larger than the other pairs) while those on the third to fifth segments are equal in size.",
"In ''G.",
"peleron'', the propodi (penultimate segment) of these maxillipeds each have two rows of spines running adjacent to each other; one row is made up of closely spaced, small spines, while the other is composed of articulated large spines spaced further apart.",
"The narrow dactylus (final segment of the appendage) is believed to have rested between these two rows when retracted.",
"Contrastingly, the maxillipedal propodi of ''G.",
"fraiponti'' only have one row of spines, alternating between small spines and occasional large spines, as well as longitudinal keels.The segments of the abdomen each have a slight ridge and furrow on their margins, and extend forward.",
"A pair of small longitudinal keels are see.",
"on the sixth pleon segment.",
"Similar ridges are also seen on the telson, as well as a median keel on its proximal half.",
"The telson is subtriangular in shape, narrowing into a spike at the end.",
"The protopod (basal segment) of the uropod is rectangular and has two movable spines on its posterior margin, one of which is slightly curved and two to three times longer than the other.",
"The endopod of the uropod narrows towards the end and is only half the length of the exopod."
],
[
"Classification",
"In his 1984 publication naming ''Gorgonophontes'', Frederick Schram assigned the genus to the family Tyrannophontidae, which at the time was the only established family of Paleozoic mantis shrimps other than Perimecturidae.",
"However, in 2007 Schram revised the relations between early stomatopods and established the family Gorgonophontidae, to which ''Gorgonophontes'' was reassigned.",
"Gorgonophontidae was erected as a monotypic family, with ''Gorgonophontes'' as its only included genus.",
"Later in 2009, ''Chabardella'' would be described and placed into this family as its second genus.Smith ''et al.''",
"(2023) conducted a phylogenetic analysis to determine the relations between fossil mantis shrimps, which recovered ''Gorgonophontes'' to be a monophyletic genus, forming a sister taxon to the clade including ''Daidal schoellmanni'' and ''Daidal acanthcercus''.",
"Meanwhile, the family Gorgonophontidae was found to be polyphyletic.",
"The authors suggest that such a result may be due to the fragmentary nature of ''Daidal pattoni''.",
"The results of the analysis are displayed in the cladogram below:"
],
[
"Palaeobiology",
"''Gorgonophontes'' would have been a carnivore, based on its enlarged raptorial appendages and the diets of other mantis shrimps.",
"It has been theorized to be a benthopelagic predator, swimming a little above the seabed while it hunted by grabbing its prey from above with its raptorial maxillipeds.",
"This is supported by the fact that its walking appendages were too short to facilitate a wide stance, and that the animal was unable to lift the front of its body, making it incapable of catching prey while standing on the bottom.",
"Similar conditions are seen in ''Tyrannophontes'' and ''Tyrannosculda'', suggesting early mantis shrimps were not benthic animals like their modern counterparts.",
"However, the larvae of modern mantis shrimps are also benthopelagic predators, and it has thus been proclaimed that studying them could allow better understanding of early mantis shrimps."

"She is a professor of Molecular, Cellular andDevelopmental Biology at the University of Colorado Boulder and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator.",
"She is known for her research identifying the factors and unraveling themechanisms that determine the structure and dynamics of the largest organelle in the cell: theendoplasmic reticulum.Her lab has produced paradigm shifting studies onorganelle membrane contact sites that have revealed that most cytoplasmic organelles are not isolated entities but are instead physically tethered to an interconnected ER membrane network.Her research has revealed the fundamental nature of these ER contact sites in regulating thebiogenesis of other organelles at positions where they are tethered and closely opposed."
],
[
"Early life and education",
"Gia Voeltz grew up in several different states including Indiana, Hawaii, Minnesota and Upstate New York, where she graduated from Chenango Forks High School.",
"She attended university at theUniversity of California Santa Cruz where she majored in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.She performed her senior thesis work in the lab of Manny Areson pre-spliceosome assembly in yeast.",
"This experience in the Ares lab at UC Santa Cruz inspired her to become ascientist.",
"Her early undergraduate research studying RNA processing led her to pursue a PhDthesis in the Department of Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University in the labof Joan A. Steitz, a leading figure in RNA biology.",
"Her PhD research investigated how mRNAstability was regulated during different stages of early development using Xenopus eggs andextract as a model system.She then moved to Harvard Medical School to join the lab of Tom Rapoport as a Jane Coffin Childs postdoctoral fellow."
],
[
"Career",
"Gia Voeltz was trained as an RNA biologist but made a major switch in scientific sub-fields whenshe moved to Tom Rapoport’s lab as a postdoc to study how organelles get their shape.",
"As apostdoc, she set out to identify how membrane proteins generate the elaborate shape of the ER.To do this, she used biochemical fractionation of a Xenopus egg in vitro assay for ER network formation.Her postdoctoral studies identified the Reticulon family of ER membraneproteins and demonstrated their conserved role in generating the structure of the tubular ERnetwork.",
"The hairpin \"wedge\" mechanism proposed was that Reticulon has two short hairpin transmembrane domains that occupy more area in the outer leaflet to generate the high membrane curvature found in tubules.Gia Voeltz moved to University of Colorado Boulder in 2006 to start her own lab.",
"Herlab leveraged spinning disk confocal microscopy to visualize the reticulon-generated dynamic tubular ER network in live cells at high resolution.",
"This led to the observation that ER tubule dynamics often occurred at positions where the ER tubules were tightly tethered to other dynamic organelles like endosomes and mitochondria.Multi-color live cell fluorescence imaging complemented by high resolution electron microscopy and tomography revealed that the vast majority of endosomes and mitochondria aretethered to the ER at contact sites.",
"In a hallmark paper published in 2011, Voeltz lab, in a collaboration with Jodi Nunnari’s lab, showed that ER tubules wrap around mitochondria to define the position where mitochondria constrict and divide in animal and yeast cells.Her lab has gone on to show that ER contact sites also regulate early and late endosome fission, RNA granule division, and mitochondrial fusion.These works establish the ER network as a master regulator of organelle biogenesis through ER contact sites.Gia Voeltz became a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Scholar in 2016 and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator in 2018.She was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 2023."

[
"Introduction",
"'''Tall Al-Hamidiya''' (also Tell Hamidiya, Tell Hamidiye, and Tell Hamidi) is an ancient Near Eastern archeological site the upper Hābūr region of modern-day Syria in the Al-Hasakah Governorate on a loop of the Jaghjagh River.",
"It is located just to the north of the site of Tell Barri, just to the east of the ancient site of Tell Arbid, just to the west of Tell Farfara and 20 kilometers north of Tell Brak (thought to be ancient Nagar/Nawar).",
"It has been suggested as the location of Ta'idu/Taite.",
"If so, it was mentioned as Ta'idu in early 2nd millennium BC Ebla and Mari texts.",
"Later it was a provincial capital of the Middle Bronze Age Mitanni Empire.",
"This identification is based primarily on a few Middle Assyrian Neo-Assyrian sources, as Taite, and the proximity of Kahat, known to have been nearby.",
"Other locations have been proposed for Ta'idu/Taite."
],
[
"Archaeology",
"The site was small during the early 2nd millennium BC based on archaeology and possibly textual sources from Ebla and Mari.",
"In the Mitanni period it grew to an very large size at 245 hectares, surrounded by a wall and ditch.",
"It consisted of a 17.6 hectare citadel high mound (including a monumental 3.8 hectare palace and a smaller 1.45 hectare palace) with a 17.5 hectare walled terrace (5.5 meters lower) adjacent to the south and also an extensive Lower Town (another 5 meters lower).",
"The terrace wall has a width of 21 meters and the terrace, with three large buildings, is accessible from the Lower town at three ramps.",
"The citadel has been severely disfigured by intrusive pits of later periods.",
"This city was destroyed and a Middle Assyrian palace built on the remains of the old palace with otherwise minor occupation.",
"If the site is indeed Ta'idu/Taite the destruction would be that reported by Adad-nirari I, early in the 13th century BC.",
"There was also a modest level of occupation in the Neo-Assyrian and Hellenistic/Roman periods.",
"Part of the site was damaged by the Syrian army attempting to build a missile site in 1998.French archaeologists Maurice Dunand and Antoine Poidebard explored the site in 1926, noting Roman and Byzantine fortifications.",
"The site was \"trenched and successive levels from prehistoric times revealed\".",
"In the early 1930s the site was visited by Agatha Christie and Max Mallowan.",
"Tall Al-Hamidiya was excavated between 1984 and 2011 by an Archaeological Institute of the University of Bern team led by Markus Wäfler and Oskar Kaelin, in all but five years.",
"Among the finds were stela fragments with the names of Middle Assyrian rulers Shalmaneser I and Tukulti-Ninurta I.",
"In 2010 a geophysical survey covering 41 hectares was completed.",
"Excavation was interrupted after the 2011 season.",
"A number of inscribed bricks, including those of Neo-Assyrian ruler Shalmaneser III (859–824 BC) were found.Early in the excavations three cuneiform tablet fragments were found and published.",
"They were of the period of Mitanni rulers but of uncertain context.",
"In 2004 three tablets were found in the southwest palace, baked in the fire that destroyed it.",
"There were not published but are described as ration lists.",
"Cuneiform tablets, primarily economic in nature, in \"Hurro-Akkadian\" and dockets both dated to the Mitanni period were found in the southwest palace in 2007.They are held in the Deir ez-Zor Museum and have been unavailable for study but were hastily photographed first and later partially published.",
"The find consisted of 17 unsealed and undated tablets and 94 dockets discovered discarded in the rubble of the palace.",
"The tablets all dealt with beer rations and the dockets were sealed with typical Mitanni seals.",
"These texts include rations for people \"from Muṣri (Egypt), Alašiya (Cyprus), Ugarit, and Arrapha\"."
],
[
"History",
"The site was small but regionally significant in the Old Babylonian period, early in the 2nd millennium BC.",
"With the rise of the Mitanni Empire the site grew much larger and became a provincial capital and later a royal residence.",
"With the fall of the Mitanni, the site was briefly occupied under the Middle Assyrians and later under the Neo-Assyrians.",
"A small amount of construction occurred in the Hellenistic and Roman period, mainly fortifications.",
"There was also some small occupation at the high mound in the Parthian, Sasanian and Early Abbasid periods as well a 19th-century AD cemetery and some building of the French Mandate period."
