"Before the 2020 CTWC however, Artiaga adopted hypertapping, a playing technique popularized by Saelee in the 2018 CTWC, which emphasizes vibrating the buttons rapidly over pressing them.",
"This was done to keep up pace with his brother, who had adopted the technique earlier.During the 2021 CTWC, Artiaga continued to utilize hypertapping as opposed to rolling, a new technique created by fellow Tetris player Christopher Martinez (known online as \"Cheez\") before the 2020 CTWC which involves rolling the back of the controller with all five fingers to faster position the game pieces.",

"However, it has the Wallace surprises to bring it back on a saner level and the result is holding, and sometimes violent melodrama. ...",
"Like all the pictures in this series it pours a pint into a half pint measure and this restriction of footage, while keeping the interest vibrantly alive, is an example of what may be achieved as opposed to the so often overlong film.",
"Jeremy Kemp is good as a man whose morals obviously deteriorate at the thought of money while Bernard Archard is a disarming schemer, Rosemary Leach too, is quite convincing as the blind wife with deep laid plans for a future on her unfortunate husband's ill-gotten gains.",
"Philip Locke, though a crook, is the one character to win a modicum of audience sympathy.\""

"The Snowmen (band)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''The Snowmen''' was a novelty band created by Stiff Records in 1981."
],
[
"History",
"In 1981, Ian Dury left Stiff for Polydor Records, and, as a cash-in for the Christmas market, Stiff commissioned session musicians to record a version of the Hokey Cokey with a Dury-soundalike vocal from Martin Kershaw, whose credits included guitar on \"Kung Fu Fighting\" and \"Dance Yourself Dizzy\", and playing banjo on 120 episodes of the Muppet Show.",
"The other musicians on the recording were Nick Portlock, Jonathan Miller, and Bob Butterworth.",
"Stiff enigmatically refused to confirm the identity of the genuine vocalist, leading to speculation that it actually was Dury.",
"For more implausible deniability, Stiff created an antonymous sub-label, called Slack, with a logo based on a pile of nutty slack, on which to release the single; Kershaw and Portlock co-wrote the b-side.The recording reached the top 20 of the UK and Irish singles charts, and Stiff press officer Nigel Dick, with other staff from the Stiff offices, donned snowman costumes for a video (shot in Brimpton, Berkshire) and appearance on the 17 December 1981 edition of Top of the Pops.Kershaw re-emerged with a medley single in 1982, this time on Kershaw's own Solid Records label.",
"The Snowmen's final single came in 1986, with a version of the nursery rhyme This Old Man, by which time Dury himself was claiming to be involved, saying he \"did it as a joke\"."

"Both / And"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Both/and is an academic concept which refers to a form of reasoning which resists binary or either/or styles of thinking.Unlike dualistic styles of reasoning, both/and means that between two options, both can be valid, or that their opposition may present opportunities for dialectical synthesis, rather than a complete rejection of one of the premises in favor of the other.Both/and is associated with dialectical thinking, which means investigating contradictions in order to attain higher understanding.",
"However, it also appears in broader systems of thought, such as the concept of nondualism, in which the distinction between self and other is transcended.The term has been used in a texts on management, literary theory, classroom research, religious studies, methodology, and international relations."

"The expressionist piece was designed by Selwyn Muru and depicts a , a traditional Māori gateway in front of a ; the open meeting courtyard at a marae.",
"Muru took elements from traditional Māori and Pacific art forms, as well as contemporary elements.",
"The work was erected at Aotea Square in 1990 and relocated to its current position in 2010.Artist Mei Hill has described ''Waharoa'' as \"probably the defining Māori artwork of scale in Auckland\"."
],
[
"Commission",
"''Waharoa'' was one of seven artworks commissioned in 1988 during the construction of the Aotea Centre and redevelopment of Aotea Square, alongside other artworks such as ''The Aotea Tapestry'' by Robert Ellis, ''Red Dancer'' (1990) by Barry Lett, and ''Metal and Wood Sculpture'' (1990) by Paratene Matchitt."
],
[
"Design and construction",
"Detail on the depictions on ''Waharoa'' (from left): Whetu me te Mārama (stars and the moon), Tāwhirimātea, Tāne Mahuta (depicted as a bird), Tangaroa (depicted as a whale) and TamanuiterāReverse view of ''Waharoa'', showing tapa cloth inspired patterns''Waharoa'' (English: \"Gateway\" or \"Entrance\") is a archway that incorporates carvings of musical instruments, animals, representations of Māori deities and poetry.",
"It is an expressionist interpretation of a , a gateway to a marae, and its location at the entrance to Aotea Square was chosen as a way to metaphorically transform the square into a , or meeting courtyard at a Polynesian marae.",
"Muru saw the placement as a way to welcome (visitors) to the space, akin to how a visiting party is welcomed onto a marae.Muru chose macrocarpa wood as the medium because of its (life force), contrasting with the surrounding artificial cityscape, carving the piece using a chainsaw and chisel.",
"He requisitioned pieces of copper from the historic Waitangi wharf piles in Northland, which he treated with vinegar to create a green verdigris effect.",
"Muru chose to use this copper to link to his birthplace in Northland and as an acknowledgement of the God of the Sea, Tangaroa.The archway depicts four Māori deities: Tamanuiterā (God of the Sun), Tangaroa (God of the Sea) depicted as a whale, Tāne Mahuta (god of the forest) depicted as a bird, and Tāwhirimātea, God of Weather, as well as Whetū me te Mārama, the stars and moon.",
"Additional contemporary symbols are found on the artwork, including the nuclear disarmament symbol, a Christian cross, a love heart symbol, an arrow, a guitar, and a dog, inspired by fellow artist Paratene Matchitt's dog.",
"Muru took inspiration from Polynesian tapa cloth patterns and 19th-century Māori carving when creating the designs.",
"A haiku written by poet Hone Tuwhare is inscribed on ''Waharoa'', alongside a Māori language version, translated by Muru himself.",
"The haiku references the Waihorotiu Stream, which formerly flowed down the Queen Street gully.When asked about the inspiration behind the work, Muru said, (\"If I needed to explain it, I did not do it correctly.",

"''Waharoa'' seen in 2007The work was constructed in 1989 and unveiled at Aotea Square in 1990.In 2008, the artwork was removed for storage at Aotea Square underwent renewal, and returned to the square in October 2010.An unveiling ceremony was held when the artwork was returned to the square, which was attended by politician Hone Harawira, Mayor of Auckland City John Banks, and Muru himself.",
"In December 2010 after only three months, the artwork was found to be leaning, and removed for refurbishment a second time at a cost of NZ$40,000.The replacement was delayed from June to August 2011, and the Auckland Council ensured that the work was reinstated in time for the opening ceremony of the 2011 Rugby World Cup, held in Auckland.",
"In late 2023, the artwork underwent further remedial work, which included a 3D laser scan, ensuring a digital record could be kept of ''Waharoa''.",
"Some smaller sections of the artwork have been removed for restoration, and are planned to be returned in April 2024.Over time, ''Waharoa'' has become one of the most viewed public artworks in Auckland."

[
"Reception",
"Art historian Michael Dunn described ''Waharoa'' the \"best-known sculpture\" by Muru, believing that ''Waharoa'' \"has a bold, free style of execution\" that eschewed tropes of Māori art that Dunn saw as associated with the tourism industry and souvenirs.",
"Dun praises the sculpture as having \"mana, pride and grandeur\", and sees it as a work that \"symbolises which has been called the Māori art renaissance.",
"\"Brooke Bath of Stuff called ''Waharoa'' \"easily one of Auckland's most recognisable pieces of public art\", believing it created a \"welcoming sense of arrival and a strong sense of place\" in Aotea Square.",
"Artist Mei Hill sees ''Waharoa'' as the \"defining Māori artwork of scale\" in Auckland, while design specialist Olivia Haddon believes that ''Waharoa''s fusion of contemporary and traditional art styles makes the piece special."

"Watford Tunnels"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Watford Tunnels''' are a pair of railway tunnels on the West Coast Main Line just north-west of Watford in Hertfordshire, Eastern England.",
"The original was built in 1837 for the London and Birmingham Railway to the design of Robert Stephenson and is just over a mile (1.6 kilometres) long.",
"When the line was widened in the 1870s, a second tunnel was built just to the east.",
"Both tunnels had decorative portals and the south portal of the original tunnel is a Grade II listed building."
],
[
"Construction",
"Robert Stephenson, the chief engineer of the London and Birmingham Railway, first planned to take the line further west but the Earl of Clarendon, owner of Cassiobury House, refused to allow the railway to cross his land (now part of Cassiobury Park).",
"Thus, Stephenson was forced to take a more difficult route to the east through a patch of high ground which required a sequence of cuttings, embankments, and a tunnel.Material excavated to build the tunnel and cuttings was reused for the nearby embankments.",
"Construction did not proceed smoothly.",
"All digging was done by hand except for some use of explosives in troublesome patches.",
"The majority of the tunnel's route is through chalk but test bores missed a patch of gravel and sand which workers struck while digging.",
"The result was a partial collapse, inundating the tunnel and killing ten workers.",
"A hole dug from the top of the hill to retrieve the bodies was later converted into a ventilation shaft.",
"Watford was the only tunnel on the London and Birmingham where the contractor was able to complete the works without the railway company's direct intervention (in several other cases contractors ran out of money before completing the works) and was relatively simple in comparison to other tunnels on the route such as Primrose Hill Tunnel shortly after leaving London and Kilsby Tunnel, the last major tunnel before Birmingham.",
"Supporting arches, which had not been budgeted or planned for, were required along their lengths to resist the pressure of the surrounding earth but at Watford the surrounding chalk was strong enough that no such arches were needed."
],
[
"Description",
"Ventilation shaft for the Watford North Tunnels, seen from the A41 roadThe original tunnel is long and was built to carry two tracks.",
"It is wide, tall, and lined with red brick.",
"It has ornamental portals at each end in the form of rusticated ashlar arches with decorative voussoirss and a large pediment.",
"It has a ventilation shaft near the centre.When the railway line was triple-tracked in 1858, a third track was laid between the existing two tracks.",
"The line was quadruple-tracked in the 1870s which required the construction of a parallel tunnel and accompanying cuttings to the east of the existing one.",
"The new tunnel opened in 1874.It again had decorative portals, though plainer than the original.",
"They again took the form of arches but this time in brick.",
"The railway historian Gordon Biddle considered the newer portals to have a \"fortress-like appearance ... in strong contrast to its delicately classical neighbour\".The tunnels now have two lines each."
],
[
"History",
"Original wash drawing by John Cooke Bourne, after which his lithograph was made John Cooke Bourne illustrated the construction of the original tunnel in his series of lithographs, published to mark the opening of the London and Birmingham Railway.",
"Its modern appearance has changed little from Bourne's drawing.",
"The lithograph depicts the south face of the tunnel during the final stages of construction and horses carting spoil away through the cutting.",
"Matt Thompson of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust described the scene as showing the scale of the engineering work—\"In places, the building of the railway reshaped the landscape and Bourne is at pains to demonstrate how big an undertaking this was\".The south portal of the original tunnel was designated a Grade II listed building in 1983, a status which provides legal protection from unauthorised demolition or modification in recognition of historic and architectural value.In 2016, a landslip affected the east cutting walls causing debris to wash onto the track.",
"A southbound train entering the tunnel struck the debris and derailed inside the mouth of the tunnel before being struck a glancing blow by another train travelling in the opposite direction.",
"Both trains had to be evacuated and several passengers sustained minor injuries."

"The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne (cartoon)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne''' is a '''cartoon''' said to have been created by Leonardo da Vinci as part of his \"Virgin and Child with Saint Anne\" project, and now considered lost.",
"It is known from a letter written on April 3, 1501, by Fra Pietro Novellara, Isabella d'Este's envoy to the painter.",
"For this reason, it is sometimes referred to as \"Fra Pietro's cartoon\".",
"Although still hypothetical, its existence seems to be confirmed by paintings by Raffaello and Andrea del Brescianino that are said to have been made from it, as well as by various pencil studies.The drawing, if it ever existed, features some of the most important figures in Christianity.",
"It is a full-length portrait depicting a group formed by Mary seated on the lap of her mother, Saint Anne, and stretching out her arms towards her son Jesus of Nazareth, who is riding a lamb at her feet.",
"The drawing evokes the moment when Jesus challenges his mother to accept his future Passion, aided by his grandmother, who also symbolizes the Church.Dated between 1500 and April 1501, this is the second of three cartoons the painter needed to create the painting ''The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne'' in the Louvre: it follows the abandoned Burlington House cartoon by a few months, and precedes by a year to a year and a half the equally lost cartoon from which the Louvre painting is derived.",
"It marks a significant stage in the painter's thinking: he abandons the figure of St. John the Baptist in favor of that of the lamb; and while it bears great similarities to the painting, the cartoon differs mainly in that its figures adopt a more upright posture and are oriented in an inverted left-to-right image.The composition, and in particular the motif formed by the Infant Jesus straddling the lamb, met with some success among the painter's followers.",
"This motif can be found in works by Raphael, Bernardino Luini and Giampietrino."
],
[
"The work",
"Pietro da Novellara, Letter to Isabelle d'Este, April 3, 1501, Mantua State Archives, Gonzaga Archives, E, XXVIII, 3.b.",
"1103, C. 272.=== Description ===Although the cartoon is lost, researchers have a picture of it, if not a precise one, at least one that contains significant elements.",
"They rely on the description given by the Carmelite monk Fra Pietro da Novellara in a letter to Isabella d'Este dated April 3, 1501:Fra Pietro da Novellara presents three figures - the Infant Jesus, his mother Mary and Saint Anne - and evokes the presence of a lamb, but not that of John the Baptist.",
"He describes their attitudes: all the figures are seated, one behind the other; however, the two women, bent over, are about to stand up.",
"He also shows Saint Anne preventing the Virgin from separating the baby Jesus from the sacrificial lamb.",
"Finally, he specifies that the drawing is organized \"left-handed\" (\"la man sinistra\"), which corresponds to the opposite direction of the painting in the Louvre.=== Subject ===The cartoon of ''Saint Anne, the Virgin and the Child Jesus'' is part of the Christian iconographic theme of the \"Trinitarian Saint Anne\", in which the Child Jesus, his mother Mary and his grandmother Anne are depicted together.",
"The painting of ''The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne'' was Leonardo da Vinci's first work to depict the subject.This theme enters into the context of the Marian cult, in particular to justify the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, according to which Mary, receiving in anticipation the fruits of the resurrection of her son Jesus Christ, was conceived free from original sin.",
"This miracle meant that her own mother, Anne, gained in theological importance.",
"From then on, the cult of Saint Anne grew, so that the \"Trinitarian Saint Anne\" became an earthly trinity in reference to the heavenly Trinity.",
"Shortly before Leonardo da Vinci's period of activity, Pope Sixtus IV encouraged this cult by introducing an indulgence that promised remission of sins to anyone who prayed before the image of Anna metterza (Saint Anne, the Virgin and Child).",
"A few examples of the triad of Saint Anne, the Virgin and the Child can be seen in the 13th and 14th centuries, before this iconographic theme gained in importance at the end of the 15th century, mainly in the form of sculptures and paintings."

"P000505.As evidence of the research that led to the creation of the Louvre's ''Sainte Anne'', we have the Burlington House cartoon, three composition drawings and thirteen detail studies preserved around the world.Leonardo da Vinci or follower, ''The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne'', 16th century, private collection.In 1887, a letter dated April 3, 1501, addressed to Isabella d'Este by her envoy to the painter in Florence, the Carmelite monk Fra Pietro Novellara, was discovered in the Mantua archives: in which he describes in great detail a cartoon by Leonardo da Vinci that he has just seen.",
"Researchers at the end of the 19th century considered this to be a description of the cartoon used by the painter to begin the painting of Saint Anne, since the general outline (characters and composition) was very similar.",
"This confusion is exacerbated by the fact that Giorgio Vasari's ''Vite'' refers to the exhibition of a cartoon in Florence's ''Santissima Annunziata'' at the beginning of the 16th century, which would have included Saint Anne, the Virgin Mary, the Child Jesus, the Lamb and Saint John: this testimony then creates a vagueness between Fra Pietro's cartoon, the one in Burlington House, which slightly precedes it, and the one for the painting of Saint Anne, which is one or two years older.Yet Novellara's testimony contains significant elements that dissociate them: on the one hand, the presence of a lamb completely rules out the Burlington House Cartoon composition; on the other hand, the figures are described as facing to the left, whereas the figures in the Saint Anne painting face to the right.",
"It wasn't until 1929 that Austrian art historian Wilhelm Suida identified these inconsistencies.",
"He made a comparison with two paintings by the brothers Raffaello (?)",
"and Andrea del Brescianino, guided by the similarities of the text with the composition, the attitude of the figures and their \"left-hand\" orientation.For some, however, this theory is still stumped by the orientation described by Novellara: perhaps he was looking from the point of view of the figure (which would correspond to the orientation of the painting in the Louvre) and not from that of the viewer (corresponding to an opposite orientation).",
"In 1979, Carlo Pedretti confirmed the hypothesis of the viewer's orientation to the left with the discovery of a study he believed might be by the master's hand, and in any case contemporary with it.",
"Since then, a number of researchers have rallied around the idea of a second cartoon: in addition to Carlo Pedretti, they include Daniel Arasse, Carmen C. Bambach, Vincent Delieuvin and Frank Zöllner.The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne'' (1503-1519, Louvre, no.",
"inv.",
"776).=== Dating ===The dating of this cartoon, produced as part of a project to compose a \"Trinitarian Saint Anne\", which led to the painting ''The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne'' in the Louvre, is fairly well circumscribed: it is dated after the creation of the Burlington House Cartoon, i.e.",
"after 1500, and cannot be later than its public exhibition in April 1501.The fate of the cartoon is totally unknown after its exhibition in Florence and the painter's departure from the city.=== A creation within the framework of the creation of a ''Saint Anne'' ===By 1501, Leonardo da Vinci, who was approaching fifty, was a recognized painter, and his fame extended beyond the Italian peninsula.",
"Nevertheless, his life was in an important phase of transition: in September 1499, Louis XII's French invaded Milan, and the painter lost his powerful patron Ludovico ''il Moro''.",
"He then hesitated about his allegiances: should he follow his former protector or turn to Louis XII, who quickly made contact with him?",
"Nevertheless, the French quickly became hated by the population, and Leonardo decided to leave.",
"This exile, described by his contemporaries as erratic, took him first to Mantua - to the Marchioness Isabella d'Este, for whom he created a cartoon for his portrait - then to Venice, and finally to his native Florence.According to a chronology widely spread within the scientific community, Leonardo da Vinci was commissioned to paint a Saint Anne around 1499–1500, by an unspecified patron.",
"In the early 1500s, he drew up a first cartoon - the Burlington House Cartoon - as an initial idea for the composition.",
"Abandoning this proposal, he quickly created a second one, in which he discarded the infant John the Baptist in favor of a lamb: this would thus be the cartoon ''The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne'', known as \"of Fra Pietro\", exhibited in Florence in April 1501, taken over by Raphael and now lost.",
"Setting aside his composition once again, the painter finally created a final cartoon from which the painting ''The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne'', now in the Louvre, would emerge.In the end, although this project for a \"Trinitarian Saint Anne\" seems to have taken shape around 1499–1500, with the painting of the Louvre picture beginning around 1503, the process took much longer, since it covered the last twenty years of the painter's life, and the picture was still unfinished when he died in 1519.=== Title ===As the reality of this cartoon is still hypothetical despite its very high probability, there is no established title truly attributed to it: authors refer to it as \"first\" or \"second cartoon\" depending on the theory retained by each researcher as to the dating of the projects leading to the ''Saint Anne painting''.",
"In the same way that the first of the three cartons has been named by the scientific community as the ''Burlington House Carton'', Vincent Delieuvin calls it the \"''Fra Pietro cartoon''\" to differentiate it from the other two.Finally, it would be possible to take into account the titles given to the works that resulted from them (in greater or lesser proportion): ''The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne'' or directly ''Sainte Anne'' for the one created by Andrea del Brescianino; ''The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne'' for the painting by Leonardo da Vinci of which it is a preparatory stage.",
"In fact, only Daniel Arasse seems to name it directly: \"Leonardo was working in Florence in 1501 ... on the second cartoon (no longer existing) of \"''The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne''\", a title which, under his pen, constitutes the generic title of any work leading to the painting in the Louvre."

"Likewise, the painter still seems unsure of the identity of the scene's fourth protagonist, hidden in the mass on the left: it appears to be a lamb - as in the Louvre painting - whose snout can be guessed to the left of Jesus' head, and the rest of his body stretched out on the bench occupied by Saint Anne.",
"A final lesson from the drawing is that the Child Jesus seems to be turning his face towards the two women: ready for his own sacrifice, he would like to reassure his mother; her smile marks the beginning of her acceptance.",
"Such an accumulation of clues would confirm that ''Fra Pietro's cartoon'' is indeed a transition between the ''Burlington House Cartoon'' and the painting in the Louvre.Following on from the Louvre drawing, a sketch sheet kept at the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles under inventory number 86.GG.725 contains a series of studies that focus exclusively on the group of Jesus and the lamb, independently of the rest of the composition.",
"The interest of this document is twofold.",
"Firstly, it reflects the evolution of the painter's thoughts on his composition: he keeps Jesus at the same level as the lamb, but now seems to be placing them on the ground.",
"In addition, a very direct link can be made between this composition and the drawing preserved at the Gallerie dell'Accademia in Venice under inventory number 230: among other arguments, this allows us to consider the latter as a study of Fra Pietro's cartoon, despite its opposite orientation.",
"Also of interest to researchers, the drawing contains a few notes, at the top of the sheet in its mirrored script, relating to a geometric treatise written in the 11th century by the Spanish-Jewish mathematician Abraham bar Hiyya Hanassi (c. 1070 - c. 1136 or c. 1145): art historian Carmen C. Bambach links this note with Fra Pietro Novellara's assertion that Leonardo da Vinci was simultaneously absorbed in mathematical studies and the design of a ''Saint Anne'', making the cleric's testimony even more credible.Preserved at the Royal Library under inventory number RL 12534, a fourth drawing is the last known study for Fra Pietro's Cartoon, but its autograph character is also debated, as are the figure it depicts and its dating.",
"It shows a woman's face whose pose, hairstyle and smile are reminiscent of Saint Anne in the Louvre painting.",
"Only its orientation to the left dissociates it from this, and links it resolutely to the second cartoon.",
"The drawing bears witness to the painter's search for an ideal head for Saint Anne, as it would have appeared on the cartoon and which he kept for the work in the Louvre."

[
"Analysis",
"Composition of Andrea del Brescianino's painting, a reflection of Fra Pietro's cartoon: in blue, the boundaries of the \"right-angled triangle\" composition; in red, the orientation of the figures' busts; in green, the lines formed by the protagonists' arms; in yellow, the lines formed by their gazes.=== Composition ===The composition of Fra Pietro's cartoon is deduced from the indications given by Pietro Novellara.",
"But it is also deduced from the two paintings by the Brescianino brothers: it should be borne in mind that the idea that these works perfectly reflect Leonardo da Vinci's original composition remains a hypothesis.With the exception of the arrangement of the figures to the left, the composition is very similar to that of the painting in the Louvre - which may have led to the two works being confused in the past: Mary is seated on St. Anne's lap and, in line with their gaze, the Child Jesus stands at their feet.",
"Together, they form a diagonal construction descending to the left in a right-angled triangle, the hypotenuse of which passes through the heads of the four protagonists (including the lamb).",
"The composition of ''Fra Pietro's cartoon'' thus differs from the previous proposal - ''the Burlington House Cartoon'' - by abandoning the horizontal construction: it thus constitutes a return to a hierarchical vision of the theme, with Saint Anne overlooking her daughter, herself situated above Jesus.",
"Moreover, Daniel Arasse considers that the painter is correcting the \"unfinished\" composition of the previous cartoon, where \"the two female figures were not clearly articulated\" and where \"Saint Anne only occupied a very secondary place plastically\": the new cartoon would thus allow the figure of Saint Anne to be emphasized thanks to the vertical scheme.Finally, the arrangement of the figures is such that the posture and gestures of each one seem to continue those of the previous one, as when a movement is decomposed: \"Saint Anne's left shoulder continues into the Virgin's left arm, which itself finds continuity in Christ's forearm.\"",
"This dynamic arrangement is not new, since Leonardo da Vinci found it in Filippino Lippi's ''Adoration of the Magi''; but the scene thus acquires its own kinematics, induced by the movement created, and sustained by the slight rotational effect of the whole \"initiated by the position of the bodies, slightly out of alignment with each other.",

"230.When it came to composing his new cartoon, Leonardo da Vinci decided to change a number of elements, and in particular to abandon the figure of Saint John the Baptist as a child for a lamb.",
"Researchers don't know the reasons for such a change: was it the commissioner's wish, or did he seek a better composition?Here, Leonardo da Vinci is proposing a realistic representation of the animal rather than the heraldic representation often used in Italian Renaissance art, where it appears within a disc or resting on a book.",
"The lamb is one of the attributes of Saint John the Baptist in Western art, in reference to his welcoming of Jesus with the words: \"Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world\", making the lamb \"the double of Jesus himself.\"",
"This is why Saint John the Baptist is associated with the lamb, as one respectively announces and the other symbolizes the Passion of Christ: in fact, in a more direct and coherent scheme, the painter substitutes the bearer of the announcement of the Passion present in the first cartoon with the symbol of the event.Such a proposal is in line with the painter's research, carried out in the 1480s, depicting Jesus with a cat.",
"Indeed, the association or interchangeability of the two animals is present in the research of the painter and his entourage: for example, in a painting by the Spanish ''Leonardeschi'' painter Hernando de los Llanos (or Fernando Yáñez de la Almedina) inspired by several of the master's drawings on the theme of the Madonna with cat, scientific imagery shows that the lamb held by the Child was originally a cat.",
"This filiation enabled the painter to answer the following questions: where should the lamb and the Child be placed?",
"What interactions should be established between these two figures?",
"The first instance of the lamb figure is the drawing in the Louvre (inv.",
"no.",
"RF 460), which shares many similarities with his ''Study for the Madonna of the Cat'' (1479-1480): in both cases, the animal is placed in the arms of Christ, who is himself on his mother's lap.",
"After the Louvre drawing, the lamb also appears in the Venice drawing (inv.",
"no.",
"230), which is slightly later: this time, Leonardo da Vinci places it on the ground, but the Child remains on his mother's lap.",
"These moves are completed in Fra Pietro's Cartoon, where the two figures are placed at the Virgin's feet, with the Child straddling the animal.The benefit to the painter of eliminating John the Baptist is threefold.",
"Firstly, it makes the composition more compact: the construction can focus on the three figures of the family and thus become vertical again - in the iconographic tradition of the theme - to emphasize the succession of generations.",
"What's more, the refocused narration removes the double visual dialogue between Mary/Anne and Jesus/Saint John the Baptist and becomes a three-way dialogue, as confirmed by the rotation of baby Jesus towards his mother.",
"Finally, this choice introduces another element of dynamism - that of the little animal, along with that of the Child - which the calm of the Baptist figure did not allow in the ''Burlington House Cartoon''.=== Interpretation ===Leonardo da Vinci, ''The Virgin and Child with Saint Anne and Saint John the Baptist'', known as the ''Burlington House Cartoon'', between 1499 and early 1501 or between 1506 and 1513, London, National Gallery, inv.",
"no.",
"NG6337.Leonardo da Vinci captures the moment when Mary is challenged by her mother and son to accept the latter's sacrifice.",
"Unlike traditional representations of the \"Trinitarian Saint Anne\", which are generally mere symbolic images, the painter offers a true narrative, depicted \"like a family genre scene in which a grandmother and her daughter observe the seemingly innocent play of the Child\", whose purpose is to reveal God's goal: the sacrifice of his son for the salvation of humanity.This interpretation is summed up by Fra Pietro Novellara in his letter to Isabella d'Este, contemporaneous with the work's creation.",
"First, he describes how \"the Child Jesus, about a year old, has almost escaped from his mother's arms.",
"He turns to a lamb and seems to wrap his arms around it.\"",
"Jesus' gesture of \"embracing\" the animal is understood as an acceptance of his destiny - an acceptance accentuated by the fact that the Child has joined him on the ground.",
"But Andrea del Brescianino's painting also shows him turning towards his mother, as a sign of comfort and an invitation to accept his fate.However, the Virgin Mary reacts protectively towards her son: \"The mother, who almost rises from Saint Anne's lap, holds the Child firmly to separate him from the lamb - a sacrificial animal that signifies the Passion.\"",
"At the same time, says Pietro Novellara, \"Saint Anne, who rises a little, seems to want to hold back her daughter, so that she does not separate the Child from the lamb.\"",
"However, this gesture is discreet: she only holds her daughter back with her fingertips, as she seems to accept her son's future death, and is no longer obliged to invoke Heaven by pointing her index finger at it, as was the case in the ''Burlington House Cartoon''.Lastly, Novellara's testimony suggests a double reading: Anne, who prevents her daughter from holding back Jesus, is not simply Mary's mother, but also represents the Church (\"Saint Anne, who stands up a little, seems to want to hold back her daughter, so that she does not separate the child from the lamb.",
"This perhaps represents the Church, which does not wish to prevent the Passion of Christ\").",
"The man was in fact an eminent member of the clergy: a renowned preacher, he had been vicar-general of the Bologna chapter since May 3, 1499, and remained so until May 3, 1501, after which he became prior of the Mantua convent.",
"As a simple believer, he believed that Christ's destiny was the Passion, and as a member of the clergy, he necessarily considered that the Church must prevent Mary from diverting Christ from this destiny."

"They readily imitated the motif of the Child straddling a lamb, usually under the gaze of his mother.",
"One of its earliest occurrences dates back to 1507, with Raphael's ''Holy Family with a Lamb'': the painter uses the Virgin, Child and Lamb, but St. Anne is replaced by St. Joseph.",

"Photo-text art"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''Photo-text''', also written as '''photo/text''', is a hybrid form of artistic expression that combines photography and textual elements to convey a message or create a narrative.",
"This combination allows for a multi-dimensional experience for the viewer.Notable examples of photo-text art include Martha Rosler's ''The Bowery in two inadequate descriptive systems'' (1974/75); David Askevold's ''Muse Extracts'', exhibited at Documenta 6 in 1977; Carrie Mae Weems' ''Family Pictures and Stories'' (1983); Lorna Simpson's installation ''Guarded Conditions'' (1989); and Martha Wilson's ''I have become my own worst fear'', first presented in 2011.The summer photography festival Rencontres d'Arles gives a Photo-Text Book Award at each annual event."
],
[
"Overview",
"Photo-text has been classified as a \"bimedial iconotext,\" wherein both photographic images and textual elements coexist, forming a cohesive body of work presented in the context of a gallery space or book.The juxtapositional nature of photo-texts requires that they be simultaneously read and viewed together — an intentional coexistence.",
"This dual engagement fosters the creation of new meanings while maintaining separate importance for both the photographic images and the written text.In the realm of photo-texts, photographs and words work together, forming a \"dialogue\" where neither medium can escape the interplay.",
"This dialogue, described as the \"interpenetration of images and words,\" serves to enhance the narrative potential of each medium.",
"The continuous shift between observing the images and reading the text results in the development of a conceptual entity known as a \"third something,\" which exists solely in the mind of the reader/viewer.",
"Ultimately, it is the viewer who ultimately \"makes sense\" of photo-texts.",
"Before this \"third something\" takes shape in the observer's mind, the images and text must be assimilated by the mediating organ of the eye.",
"This process involves the viewer incorporating or devouring the content, temporarily blurring the line between the written and visual components."

"Introduction",
"'''''Elysia atroviridis''''' is a benthic species of sea slug belonging to the family Plakobranchidae native to the northwest pacific.''E.",
"atroviridis'' slugs live up to three meters deep, and are generally dark green in skin colour with small, black spots all around the body.",
"''E.",
"atroviridis'' is a member of the superorder Sacoglossa, and thus possesses the ability to perform kleptoplasty.",
"''E.",
"atroviridis'' and ''Elysia marginata'' are notable for possessing the ability to completely autotomize their bodies and grow them back within 20 days."
],
[
"Kleptoplasty",
"Being a member of the superorder Sacoglossa, ''E.",
"atroviridis'' is capable of kleptoplasty, which is the process of taking chloroplasts from digested algae and using them for photosynthesis.",
"Kleptoplasty is performed when the slug eats algae and partially digests it, but keeps the chloroplasts intact, incorporating them into their digestive tract's tissues, which allows the chloroplasts to stay alive and contribute energy to the host via photosynthesis."
],
[
"Autotomy",
"''E.",
"atroviridis'', along with ''E.",
"marginata'', possess the ability to completely autotomize their bodies, and survive without their heart, kidneys, reproductive organs, etc.",
"The method they use is unknown, but it is theorized the groove on their neck which is at the location where the head detaches plays a role in the autotomy, and the aforementioned kleptoplasty plays a role in keeping the slugs alive without the digestive system, but researchers are still unsure about how they manage to stay alive without their major organs.",
"The bodies never regrew the head, and responded to tactile stimuli, but eventually stopped and grew pale, presumably from losing chloroplasts.===Function===The function of the autotomy is unknown.",
"In an experiment, 82 ''E.",
"atroviridis'' specimens were infected with a parasitic copepod, and three autotomized.",
"The researchers suggested that the slugs autotomize as a reaction to the infection.",
"Furthermore, all slugs who autotomized were infected with a parasite, and all regrew their bodies back with no parasite.",
"The autotomy could not be a response to predation, as it takes several hours to autotomize.",
"Additionally, researchers attempted to simulate a predator attack but no autotomy was attempted in the slug.",
"Other theories for the function of the autotomy include escaping algae the slugs are tangled in and removing accumulated toxic chemicals."

"On January 11, 2024, the Texas National Guard took control of Shelby Park, a area of parkland in the town of Eagle Pass, along the Rio Grande river, which separates the United States from Mexico, after Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed an emergency declaration to close the park.",
"In his declaration, Abbott cited the Mexico–United States border crisis and the need to secure the border.",
"The Texas National Guard blocked U.S. Border Patrol agents from patrolling the area, which the Border Patrol had been using to hold migrants in recent weeks."
],
[
"Standoff",
"After the closure, three migrants were found drowned in the Rio Grande.",
"Mexican authorities subsequently identified them as a 33-year-old woman and her two children, aged 10 and 8.The U.S. Border Patrol said it had alerted the Texas National Guard that a group of migrants were in distress in the waters outside the boat ramp in Shelby Park but that the National Guard took no action to rescue them.",
"Texas lawyers responded that the National Guard was alerted only after the three had drowned, and that the National Guard had not spotted any migrants.",
"Mexican authorities said that the boat never entered U.S. territory.On January 22, the Supreme Court of the United States issued an order to vacate an injunction by the 5th U.S.",
"Circuit Court of Appeals that prevented Border Patrol agents from cutting concertina wire, which the National Guard had been using to make a fence in Shelby Park.",
"The ruling concerned an earlier dispute and did not address Texas deploying razor wire or blocking federal officials from the park.",
"On January 24, Abbott responded that Texas would refuse to let federal authorities access the park, vowing to \"protect the sovereignty of our state\".",
"A military standoff between state and federal authorities over immigration is unique in modern American history; constitutional law professor Charles \"Rocky\" Rhodes and an editorial in the ''San Antonio Express-News'' said it may signal the start of a constitutional crisis.In the aftermath of the Supreme Court's decision, 25 other Republican state governors (every Republican governor but Vermont's Phil Scott) announced their support for Texas in the dispute, as did U.S. House speaker Mike Johnson.",
"Florida Governor Ron DeSantis additionally committed to sending more resources after previously sending the Florida National Guard to reinforce the Texas government.",
"Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt pledged to deploy the Oklahoma National Guard to support Texas, and Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb announced that 50 Indiana National Guardsmen would arrive in Texas by mid-March.",
"Other state and national Republican officials backed Texas.On January 23, the Department of Homeland Security issued Texas attorney general Ken Paxton an ultimatum, ordering the removal of \"obstructions\" along the border and that the Border Patrol be given full access to Shelby Park by January 26.On January 24, Democratic Texas representatives Joaquin Castro and Greg Casar called for U.S. President Joe Biden to establish federal control over the Texas National Guard.",
"On January 26, the deadline set by Department of Homeland Security passed.",
"It had ordered Texas to agree to fully reopen disputed parts of the Shelby Park area to federal Border Patrol agents, emphasizing the need for confirmation and specifying the consequences of partial denial in a letter from DHS General Counsel Jonathan E. Meyer to Attorney General Paxton.",
"On January 29, more than two dozen Republican state attorneys general, and leadership from the Republican-controlled Arizona state legislature, signed a letter supporting Texas in its border security efforts, addressing President Biden and DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, emphasizing the importance of upholding the nation's laws and commending Abbott's and Paxton's work in securing the border against what they called the \"invasion, encouraged by Biden's refusal to follow federal statutory law\"."

[
"Introduction",
"The '''Brazilian Integralist Action Militia''' were a paramilitary force linked to Brazilian Integralist Action (AIB).",
"It was subordinated, at first, to the National Militia Department and, after the reorganization of the AIB in 1936, to the Department of Education.",
"Both under the command of the writer and historian Gustavo Barroso and the then army captain Olímpio Mourão Filho."
],
[
"History and structure",
"Hierarchy and organization of the militia taken from the book \"What the Integralist should know\" by Gustavo BarrosoAccording to an entry from the Getúlio Vargas Foundation: \"The militia was organized by subdividing itself into 'command' and 'troops', the former as a management body and the latter as an execution body.",
"The supreme direction of the militia belonged to the National Chief, as head of the 'Integralist forces of land, sea and air', with the support of the national secretariat responsible for the Integralist militia and the protection troops, as well as the Chief of Staff, with responsibility for the 'preparation and execution of high command decisions'.",
"This same structure was replicated at the regional level with its local ramifications\".The Integralist militias were present throughout the Brazil's territory.",
"In December 1933, just over 1 year after the creation of the Brazilian Integralist Action, it is already possible to find reference in the newspaper ''Monitor Integralista'', which indicated in its pages, about the Integralist militia in the Federal District, it already had \"1,800 green-shirts, workers, students, civil servants, doctors, engineers, lawyers, small industrialists and those employed in commerce\".In June 1934, with the approval by the Ministry of War of the Integralist uniform (green shirt, black tie, black or white pants, green cap and shoes, and the movement's emblem — the sigma — placed on the right arm and on the cap) regional parades and the first conflicts began.",
"In May 1934, four thousand Integralists paraded in Rio de Janeiro, but in July uniformed militiamen from Niterói, Salvador, Recife and Belo Horizonte also marched.Original green shirt from the former Brazilian Integralist ActionAt the 1st Integralist Congress in Vitória that officially took place on March 1, 1934, at the Teatro Carlos Gomes, the basic bodies of the political organization were established through statutes, including the militia that was being formed.319x319px''Every Integralist between the ages of 16 and 42 was obliged to register with the Integralist forces (militia), choosing the category in which they wished to join.",
"The troops were organized into categories: first and second line militants.",
"The militia hierarchy distinguished three levels: senior officers, officers and general officers.",
"The structure of the militia provided for the following units: decuria, third, flag and legion, the latter consisting of four flags.",
"The role of the militia was not only to prepare integralists for parades and physical culture, but to develop true military training, from “technical, tactical and moral” instruction to the elaboration of combat plans.",
"The five military arms constituted the integralist “troops”: infantry, cavalry, engineering, artillery and aviation.",
"The integralist who registered as a “first-line militant” had to undergo militia training for 60 days and then join a decuria (a unit with ten militants).",
"After filling out a form, which recorded all the militant's abilities, the candidate took the following oath before the militia commander: “Assuming membership in the integralist militia, in the name of God and on my honor I swear: first, absolute discipline to my bosses and perfect solidarity with my comrades; second, to give my life, if necessary, for the cause of the Integralist Revolution; third, love, respect and make the National Chief respected.''",

],
[
"History",
"Rose & Ruby Productions' originally specialized in the organization of competitions for \"everyman\" athletes, which it placed on television for the benefit of a corporate sponsor, a concept that Lee had popularized in the Canadian market shortly before the creation of Rose & Ruby itself.",

"The company later graduated to sports featuring professional or established amateur athletes, often for CTV as well.",
"In 1977, Rose & Ruby tried to set up a professional tennis tournament for the following March at Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens to replace the dormant Rothmans International, but the event did not proceed.",
"In 1983, the company also applied to the CRTC for a license to operate a pay sports television channel.While it did not get its own channel, the emergence of premium cable outlets looking to satisfy Canadian content obligations, such as First Choice, opened the door to branch out into fiction content.",
"Rose & Ruby also took advantage of the tax shelter opportunities that were synonymous with Canadian film financing at the time although, according to Lee, the boom of international pre-sales during the second half of the 1980s allowed the company to distance itself from that sometimes stigmatized model.",
"Bodybuilder Franco Columbu, who contributed to several of Rose & Ruby's mid- to late 1980s features, was a partner in the company and was listed as its American representative at the time.",
"In later years, Rose & Ruby also named veteran cameraman and director of photography Curtis Petersen as its Vice President of Production.In 1993, Rose & Ruby entered a multi-picture financing partnership with Menahem Golan's 21st Century Films, which was struggling to find banking support.",
"It included ''National Lampoon's Last Resort'' (21st Century was initially mentioned as co-producer but later only as international distributor), ''Death Wish V: The Face of Death'' and the less commercial ''Crime and Punishment''.",
"However, Lee was not credited in the final version of ''Crime and Punishment'', and although he remained on board as producer of the other films, the Rose & Ruby label was phased out from them as well.",
"After that batch of Golan collaborations, Lee focused his efforts on another outfit headquartered on the same premises, called Richmond House, to whom former Rose & Ruby associate David Mitchell briefly collaborated early on."

],
[
"Background",
"The fault follows the northwest-southeast alignment of Verde and Lubang islands and is primarily considered a left-lateral fault, meaning the two sides of the fault move horizontally past each other in opposite directions.",
"This geological feature is associated with seismic activity, giving rise to earthquakes of varying magnitudes.",
"Notably, on July 24, 2021, the fault was responsible for the Calatagan earthquake, which registered a magnitude of 6.6.The region's tectonic dynamics, marked by the lateral motion along this fault, contribute to the occurrence of significant seismic events such as the mentioned earthquake."

"Mahābheri Sūtra"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''''Great Drum Sūtra''''' (MBhS, Sanskrit: *''Mahābherisūtra''; Chinese: 大法鼓經, ''Dà fǎ gǔ jīng,'' or ''*Mahābherīhārakaparivartasūtra, Sutra Chapter on the Beater of the Great Drum,'' Tibetan: '''phags pa rnga bo che chen po'i le'u zhes bya ba theg pa chen po'i mdo'') is a Mahayana Buddhist sutra of the tathāgatagarbha type.",
"The ''Mahābherisūtra'' focuses on buddha-nature (tathāgatagarbha), describing it as luminous, pure, permanent, eternal, everlasting, peaceful, and as a self (ātman).",
"According to C.V. Jones \"the MBhS is committed to the idea that the liberation of Buddhas is a kind of enduring existence, and advances the tathāgatagarbha of sentient beings as that aspect of them which will eventually enjoy this status.\""
],
[
"Background",
"The Indian Sanskrit MBhS was translated into Chinese by Guṇabhadra (c. fifth century) as ''Dà fǎ gǔ jīng'' (T. 270).",
"It was translated into Tibetan (Derge no.",
"222; Q.",
"888) by Vidyākaraprabha, Dpal gyi limn po, and Dpal brtsegs in the 9th century CE.",
"The Tibetan translation is slightly longer with minor alterations.According to Jones and Suzuki Takayasu, the MBhS is related to the ''Mahāparinirvāṇa'', ''Aṅgulimālīya'' and ''Mahāmegha Sūtras'', all of which form a group of related sutras sometimes termed \"the Mahāparinirvāṇasūtra- Group\".",
"Jones also argues that the MBhS is an earlier text than the ''Anūnatvāpūrṇatvanirdeśaparivarta,'' with which it shares some features''.",
"''The MBhS also shows doctrinal similarities with the ''Lotus Sutra (Saddharmapuṇḍarīka),'' including: a similar presentation of dharmabhāṇakas (dharma reciters / preachers), both include incredulous hinayana monks who leave the assembly before the sutra is taught, both texts say that \"the recitation of the sūtra constitutes the Buddha’s recurring presence in the world\", both texts contain the parables of the illusory city and the lost son as explanations of hinayana, both texts teach the ekayāna (one vehicle) doctrine and both discuss a revered monk named Sarvalokapriyadarśana.",
"Regarding the teaching of the ekayāna (one vehicle), the MBhS links this with the teaching of ''tathāgatagarbha'' and buddha-nature.",
"As such, Jones argues that the ''Mahābheri'' shows a marrying of ideas from the ''Mahāparinirvāṇa'' and the ''Lotus sutra.''"
],
[
"Overview",
"The sutra begins with King Prasenajit coming to see the Buddha, accompanied by the beating of drums and sounding of conches.",
"The Buddha is then said to \"beat the great drum of the dharma\" and \"blast the great conch of the dharma\".",
"The sutra also compares the power of the Dharma Drum to remove the three poisons (lust, hatred, and delusion) to a magical drum which can extract poisoned arrows from soldiers when beaten.Towards the end of the sutra, it is revealed that various phantoms made by the demon Mara are hidden among the assembly.",
"Several sravakas and bodhisattvas, like Mahakasyapa, are unable to root them out.",
"Then, a layman known as Sarvalokapriyadarśana or Sarvasattvapriyadarśana is shown as being capable of catching Mara's minions.",
"The Buddha then reveals that Sarvasattvapriyadarśana only appears to be a common person (prthagjana), while in reality he is an advanced being who will become a Buddha in the future.=== Buddha-nature ===This sutra focuses on the tathāgatagarbha (\"buddha-womb\") doctrine, which it presents as the essential nature or element (dhātu) of all sentient beings (i.e.",
"the buddha-nature).",
"It also states that this buddha-nature is the true ātman of living beings, and as such, presents a Buddhist ātma-vada doctrine.",
"According to the MBhS, sentient beings have a tathāgatagarbha, which is also described by the terms ātman (a true self) and sattvadhātu (here meaning a basic element of sentient beings or an essential nature which is \"immeasurable and pure\").",
"The sutra shares the use of the term sattvadhātu with the ''Anūnatvāpurnatvanirdeśa,'' and the term ātman with the ''Mahāparinirvāṇa'', and the ''Aṅgulimālīya''.",
"Furthermore, according to Karl Brunnholzl, \"in this sūtra, the Buddha uses the terms ''tathāgatagarbha'', ''tathāgatadhātu'', and ''buddhadhātu'' interchangeably.",
"\"Like the ''Mahāparinirvāṇasūtra'', the ''Mahābherī'' also teaches the simile of the refinement of milk into butter and then ghee as a way to explain the manifestation of buddha-nature.",
"According to the sutra, ordinary people are like a mix of milk and blood, those who have taken refuge are like pure milk, new bodhisattvas are like cream, bodhisattvas on the first seven bhūmis are like fresh butter, arhats and bodhisattvas on the ninth and tenth levels are like melted butter and Buddhas are like ghee.",
"According to the MBhS, the ātman is what is realized by Buddhas when they attain awakening and is characterized by \"sovereignty\" (自在; dbang phyug; aiśvarya) which only a Buddha can know and realize.",
"The sutra further states that this sovereignty can only be unlocked after awakening, and that before awakening, the ātman of each sentient being is like an imprisoned king which lacks sovereignty.The ''Mahābherisūtra'' also states that the ātman is a permanent element that is present in sentient beings which remains after the attainment of liberation.",
"It compares the self (ātman) to the gold element (\"dhātu\", which can also mean \"material element\") which can be covered by impurities and yet retain its pure nature as gold.",
"As the sutra states:Lord, if sentient beings attain liberation and sovereignty, one should know that sentient beings certainly ought to have permanence.",
"For example, when one sees smoke one knows that there is necessarily fire.",
"If there exists a self, there must be liberation.",
"If it is taught that there is a self, this is the liberation with a form that was already explained above; this is not the worldly view of a self, nor is it expounding annihilationism or eternalism.The sutra also states that this self is not the worldly view of a self, and as such affirms the teaching of anātman (not-self), as a skillful means which does away with wrong views of a self.=== The eternal nature of the Buddha ===Shakyamuni Buddha's transcendent body arising from his golden tomb (representing his eternal nature), 11th century scroll, Kyoto National Museum.Like the ''Mahāparinirvāṇamahāsūtra,'' the ''Mahābherisūtra'' also teaches that the Buddha continues to exist after his final nirvāṇa, describing this as \"a liberation that is a kind of existence\" (Ch: 解脱是有; Tib.",
"''thar pa yod pa nyid'') which entails the realization of the ātman.According to Jones, the MBhS presents the nirvāṇa attained by the Buddha as \"a kind of a kind of permanent existence free from bondage to rebirth.\"",
"Thus, the sutra states:The secret teaching of this sūtra is that, while it is said that the Tathāgata has completely passed over into nirvāṇa, in reality the Tathāgata is permanent, abiding, and without destruction: parinirvāṇa is not characterized by destruction.The sutra also speaks of the Buddha's \"permanently abiding dharmakāya manifesting great supernatural powers.\"",
"It also argues that the Buddha's nirvana cannot be a non-existent state nor a reality that completely lacks self, since:The Tathāgata is a god among gods.",
"If parinirvāṇa were complete annihilation, the world would be gradually destroyed.",
"If parinirvāṇa is not annihilation, then it is permanently abiding and joyful.",
"Since it is permanently abiding and joyful, then certainly there exists a self, just as where there is smoke, there is fire.=== Emptiness as a provisional teaching ===The ''Mahābherisūtra'' criticizes certain Buddhist interpretations of emptiness which reject the buddha-nature teachings on the self:Members of the saṅgha in the expressions ‘there is a self’ and ‘there is absence of self’ fear the expression ‘there is a self’; they adopt the annihilationist view of great emptiness, and cultivate non-self.",
"In this way they do not produce faith in the very profound sūtras of the tathāgatagarbha, and of the permanent abiding of the Buddhas.Furthermore, according to the ''Mahābheri,'' all the emptiness teachings should be seen as provisional, having a specific intent behind them.",
"In contrast to these expedient sutras which teach emptiness, unsurpassed sutras which teach the permanence of the Buddha and buddha-nature, like the ''Mahābherīsūtra'', are to be seen as definitive.",
"Those who reject these sutras are seen as lazy, corrupt and uncontrolled.",
"The ''Mahābherisūtra'' also argues that those who do not understand the expedient nature of the sutras which teach emptiness are lead astray.",
"For the ''Mahābherisūtra,'' emptiness and not-self are teachings which only apply to samsaric phenomena and the afflictions, but not to the basis of samsara - great nirvāṇa which is eternal and peaceful.",
"The Buddha further states in this sutra that he only teaches not-self in order to overcome the worldly notion of self and to develop people in faith and insight.",
"After someone has trained in emptiness, then the Buddha teaches them the truth about what is truly existent, peaceful and eternal - the true self, the buddha-nature (which is also beyond annihilation and eternalism)."

],
[
"Critical reception",
"''Madra'' received a score of 74 out of 100 on review aggregator Metacritic based on seven critics' reviews, indicating \"generally favorable\" reception.",
"''Uncut'' stated that \"Newdad's first full-length shows them expanding on their indie-pop roots, adding extra gnarly, post-punk bite and more sophisticated textures to their updated mix of The Cure, Slowdive and Curve\".",
"John Earls of ''Record Collector'' wrote that \"as singer, Dawson channels a quiet despair in the more vulnerable 'Nosebleed', but it's the defiant full-throated charge elsewhere that's likely to see NewDad emerge as festival favourites\".Reviewing the album for ''NME'', Huw Baines felt that \"while NewDad might not be as structurally inventive as the power-pop-indebted Hotline TNT or as heavy as the nu-gaze-leaning Fleshwater, they are perhaps more streamlined and together, which counts for plenty\".",
"''DIY''s Emma Swann called it \"a shame that ''Madra'' is so back-loaded\", writing that \"no doubt these songs will triumph when performed live, but as a record, ''Madra'' isn't quite it\"."

"§ 1983 and commonly known as \"Section 1983\", allows individuals to sue state or local government officials, including law enforcement officers, for violations of their constitutional rights.",
"It provides a legal remedy for individuals who believe their rights, as protected by the U.S. Constitution, have been violated by persons acting under the color of state law.",
"In the time since its passing, Section 1983 has become the most widely used civil rights enforcement statute.",
"In ''Haywood v. Drown'', the Supreme Court held that Section 1983 suits may be heard in either state or federal courts.The laws of Alabama provide for an unemployment compensation benefits scheme.",

[
"Lower court history",

"Some petitioners failed to have hearings scheduled where they could dispute the Department's determinations.Petitioners filed suit under Section 1983 in Montgomery County, Alabama, claiming that the Department of Labor violated both their constitutional right to due process, and their federal rights under the Social Security Act of 1935.Petitioners sought injunctive relief, including an injunction directing the Alabama Secretary of Labor, Fitzgerald Washington, to issue prompt decisions on applicants' claims.",
"Washington moved to dismiss the suit on the grounds that petitioners had not exhausted their administrative remedies before bringing suit in Circuit Court—the Court granted the motion to dismiss, and denied petitioners' motion to reconsider.",
"The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the dismissal on the grounds that petitioners failed to exhaust their state administrative remedies before bringing suit."

"Introduction",
"Joseph Karl Stieler created an 1820 portrait of Ludwig van Beethoven holding the manuscript of his ''Missa solemnis''."
],
[
"Description",
"The portrait is in oils on canvas and shows Beethoven in a deep blue frock coat with a large white collar and red scarf.",
"His grey hair is \"unruly, essentially uncombable\".",
"He holds the manuscript of his ''Missa solemnis'' and appears to be writing.",
"In the background is a grape arbor.",
"The portrait is .Alexander Wheelock Thayer wrote that the painting was \"sketchy\" and never fully finished.",
"Anton Schindler felt that the portrait accurately portrayed Beethoven's \"characteristic expression\", but the lowered head was inconsistent with Beethoven's usual posture.",
"Schindler also asserted that illness caused a marked change in Beethoven's appearance in this portrait as compared to earlier ones.According to John Clubbe, Stieler's design was \"even more dramatic\" than the previous portraits by Mähler, using the same portrait of Beethoven's grandfather for inspiration and highlighting \"the composer's revolutionary sympathies\".",
"Alessandra Comini stated that the portrait included \"all the elements dear to future mythmakers\", including \"genius inspired by inner voices in the presence of nature, with leonine hair writhing wildly in symbolic parallel to the seething turbulence of creativity\"."
],
[
"Creation",
"The painting was begun in 1819 and completed in April 1820.It was commissioned by Franz and Antonie Brentano, who were according to Beethoven his \"best friends in the world\".",
"Stieler, who was noted for his portraiture, was in Vienna to paint Emperor Franz at the time he met Beethoven.",
"Beethoven saw having his portrait made as a form of \"penance\" and allowed only three or four sittings, requiring that Stieler finish painting the body and the portrait's background without him.",
"As a result, according to Alessandra Comini, \"Beethoven's arms are not convincingly attached to his shoulders\"; later versions of the portrait address this by omitting the arms entirely.",
"Upon completion the portrait was exhibited alongside the Dietrich bust."
],
[
"Ownership history",
"The portrait's early ownership history is \"obscure\"; it may have been briefly held by the Brentano family.",
"Thayer stated that it was initially owned by Stieler's family.",
"It was eventually owned by Wilhelm Spohr, brother of composer Louis Spohr.",
"On his death in 1860, it passed to Rosalie, Countess Sauerma, his daughter.",
"From 1909 it was owned by Henri Hinrichsen of Leipzig, a music publisher with an extensive art collection.",
"This collection, including the portrait of Beethoven, was plundered by the Nazis; Hinrichsen was killed in the Holocaust.",

"Tōdai-ji Hachiman"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Tōdai-ji Hachiman''' (Japanese:木造僧形八幡神坐像, Romaji: ''Mokuzō Sōgyō Hachimanjin Zazō'') is a syncretic Shinto-Buddhist sculpture of the kami Hachiman carved in 1201 by Buddhist sculptor Kaikei.",
"Currently housed in the Hall of Hachiman (Hachiman-den) in Tōdai-ji, it is classified as a National Treasure of Japan since 19 February 1957 (upgraded from previous status as Important Cultural Property on 2 August 1901), and is the only syncretic piece by him.The sculpture is considered a prominent example of Buddhist sculpture in the early Kamakura period under the Kei school, and its creation was extensively documented from chronicles and diaries written during the 13th century."
],
[
"Background",
"Up til the Meiji Restoration, syncretism was prominent between Shintoism and Buddhism, in the form of shinbutsu-shūgō, in which the history of Hachiman worship was closely involved with the construction of Tōdai-ji in 749.With sponsorship from Usa Jingū, Hachiman became a ''chinjujin,'' the guardian kami of the temple, and throughout the Heian Period, images of Sōgyō Hachiman (in monk form) have been present in Japanese temples.In 1180, following the Siege of Nara, when Tōdai-ji and Kōfuku-ji, were set on fire, Tōdai-ji saw extensive reconstruction and renovation under its abbot Chōgen (1121-1206), as he sought to arrange the campus in the style of Southern Song architecture in China.",
"The sculpture's origins as well as the inception of the sculpture was chronicled in the ''Tōdai-ji Hachiman Genki,'' written in 1237.As the reconstruction of the temple proceeded, Hachiman, who had seen popular worship and attention as the guardian kami of ''Tōdai-ji,'' had his hall erected with much support by Chōgen and the monks in 1194.An earlier example of a Sōgyo Hachiman (as monk), Heian period, now on display at the Art Institute of Chicago (1960.755)The chronicle also described disputes and repeated requests by the monks towards the Kamakura shogunate for approval of an image of Hachiman to decorate the hall.",
"There was a push towards the acquisition of a painting of Hachiman, attributed to Kūkai, in the collection of Emperor Toba, formerly owned by Jingo-ji, augmented a claimed vision by the Tōdai-ji monks that they witnessed a homeless red-robed Hachiman at the Great South Gate (Nandaimon) of the temple.",
"It was seen that the ownership of the image is considered a preciously kept secret, given the aggressiveness of the attempted acquisition by the monastery, as well as the fact that an image from Ninna-ji, was secretly copied from the Jingo-ji painting.",
"In the end, the attempted ownership of the painting failed, so Tōdai-ji opted for the carving of a new image by Kaikei."
],
[
"The Sculpture",
"Kaikei's sculpture differs from an older Heian period image that is currently held by Yakushi-ji (also classified as a National Treasure).",
"Whereas the Yakushi-ji Hachiman is a triad image, accompanied by a sculpture of Nakatsuhime and Empress Jingū (as Hachiman is the deification of Emperor Ōjin), Kaikei's sculpture is a solitary image of Hachiman as a monk.Kaikei's Hachiman relies on realism and polychromy, the deity is seen legs crossed, left hand on the lap, right hand held at chest level, staff in hand.",
"He wears a grey undergarment, ochre robe, and is painted with a ''tōyama'' pattern, wisps of reds (shades of lacquer and cinnabar), greens and blues.",
"Unlike the Tō-ji Hachiman, whose chest is exposed, Kaikei was focused on making his Hachiman as realistic as possible, with the resemblance to an actual monk.",
"Reduced emphasis on bone structure, wrinkles are to emphasize the statue's status as a god, though the polychromy is utilized to accentuate on its human features.",
"The statue sits on a lotus pedestal and is framed with a gold halo, to designate his divinity.Typical to that of Kei school craftmanship, Hachiman was carved with the ''yosegi zukuri'' technique, made of multiple interlocking blocks which assembles the front portion and the back portion as such, the Hachiman has broad shoulders and flattened chest due to the assembly method.The names of the sculpture's donors are etched in a smooth surface within the cavity of the carving: Imperial House of Japan: Emperor Tsuchimikado, Emperor Go-Toba, Prince Shūkaku, Emperor Go-Shirakawa, Shichijō Nyoin, Hachijō NyoinPriesthood: Myōe, Myōhen, Ebin, (Chōgen's name does not appear in the sculpture despite being involved in its inception)In addition: laymen of the Taira clan, Minamoto clan, Fujiwara clans are named alongside 28 sculptors (''kobusshi''), members of workshops by Kōkei, Myoēn, and Inson are identified with Kaikei's signature in place.As such, the sculpture is a testament to the intimacy with the clergy, the regency and the Imperial family during the Kamakura shogunate."
],
[
"Display",
"Held in the Hachiman-den within the Kanjin-sho of Tōdai-ji, every year on October, after religious services, the sculpture is displayed to the public alongside that of the Five Kalpas of Reflection by the Buddha Amida, and a sculpture of the priest Kōkei, both of which are designated Important Cultural Properties."
