],
[
"Conservation",
"Despite treasuring the history of more than 1400 years at its peak, its emblematic character in the historiography of the Iron Age and having been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in CE 1992, the Monte Bernorio site was threatened by the aggression that the project to install a wind farm with 24 wind turbines would entail if it were carried out.",
"This is why it has been included in the Red List of Spain's Heritage in Danger, by the association Hispania Nostra.",
"This project has been the object of significant popular rejection, considering it \"a patrimonial aggression\" of the highest level."

"Throughout the various archaeological campaigns carried out, a good number of constructions and utensils have been located that testify to the events that took place there, which range from the Bronze Age to the Middle Ages, The latest research works have been funded by public entities, mainly the Diputación de Palencia, and entities such as the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, the University of Frankfurt and the University of Oxford.According to these investigations, the mountain has been occupied uninterruptedly since the to the , although there are indications of occupation during the Chalcolithic period and the Bronze Age (3000–2000 BCE ).",
"During the 2006 survey, ceramics, weaponry and ornaments from the Iron Age were found, as well as the skeletal remains of a baby.The perimeter of the mountain was surrounded by a wall, some of the remains of which have been found, as well as an inner wall that protected the acropolis.",
"In the 2007 campaign, the first stone and adobe walls of the houses appeared, as well as personal belongings, weapons and remains of fauna.",
"The remains of another baby were also found.The site is completed with the remains of a Roman camp of more than 18 ha (the largest found in the Iberian Peninsula) located 2 km away, on the top of Castillejo (Pomar de Valdivia), from which two legions predictably undertook the siege.",
"Numerous remains of military equipment have been found inside: arrowheads, ''caligae'' tacks, tent pole studs, a ''pilum'', bronze remains of legionary equipment and some coins.The site was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in CE 1992, with the category of Archaeological Zone.",
"Despite the fact that in CE 2004, the Junta de Castilla y León ceased its financial contributions to subsidize the excavations, they have continued thanks to the aid of the Provincial Council of Palencia and the municipalities of the region.",
"Thanks to this support, the Monte Bernorio Institute for the Study of the Antiquity of the Cantabrian Sea was created, which in CE 2009, planned the creation of an interpretation centre for this site.The latest discoveries made at the Bernorio confirm this site as one of the most important in Europe."

"In the vicinity of Pomar de Valdivia, the remains of a large Roman camp were found, one of the largest in Europe, studied by Eduardo Peralta Labrador, from which the attack and destruction of the fortress of Monte Bernorio was carried out, apparently by the powerful Legio IV Macedonica.",
"Due to the size of this camp, Peralta maintains that it had to be occupied by at least two legions.",
"The large number of Roman artillery shells found in the area show that the siege to which the fort was subjected took place on a large scale, as evidenced by the arrowheads, crossbow projectile points and stone balls of different calibers found.",
"Evidence has also been found that the main core was destroyed by a fire, possibly set after it was taken."

"The general term '''mimicry of spin-liquid-by-disorder''' or '''appearance of spin-liquid-by-disorder''' in solid state physics describes the observation of a quantum spin liquid-like (local) state induced by disorder.",
"Laboratory slang calls it just '''spin-liquid-by-disorder''', however, the ''prefix'' mimicry or ''appearance'' is necessary.",
"The general description is introduced and discussed in the PhD thesis ''Low-Energy Spin Dynamics in geometrically frustrated 3d-Magnets and Single-Ion Spin Systems by S. A. Bräuninger'' founded by the SFB 1143.Here, the nature of this observation may have the properity of a local effect and reflects not necessarily the global magnetic ground state.",
"Therefore, the effect is discussed to be a spin-liquid-''like'' state emphasizing a possible local nature.",
"In contrast, order-by-disorder describes a long-range magnetic ordered state which is selected by disorder and associated with a global magnetic ground state of the crystal, e.g.",
"Er2Ti2O7.Therefore, the prefix ''mimicry'' or ''appearance'' should be used for clarity from a theoretical point of view.",
"Experimentally, the introduction of this term and description is reasonable because of the intensive observations in treatments by selected techniques of local probes like nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and muon spin spectroscopy (µSR).",
"However, theoretically, the amount of studies increases, see jammed spin liquid.",
"Such a mimicry is observed and discussed in various works such as disorder-induced spin-liquid-like behavior in kagome-lattice compounds, e.g., Tm3Sb3Zn2O14 and Tm3Sb3Mg2O14, Pr2Zr2O7, Tb2Hf2O7, BaTi0.5Mn0.5O3."

"Battle of Tangier (1662)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Battle of Tangier''' in 1662 was the first major engagement between the Moroccans, led by Khadir Ghaïlan, and the English garrison, led by Nathaniel Fines.",
"The Moroccans routed the English force."
],
[
"Background",
"After the English arrival in January 1662, the Moroccan warlord, Khadir Ghaïlan, disapproved of the English occupation and considered Tangier as part of his territory; however, he didn't have enough army to oust the English, but he did send out small ambushes and raids.",
"On March 24, Ghailan and the Earl of Peterborough concluded a truce, giving 50 barrels of powder to the Moroccans.",
"However, Ghailan later discovered that the English used the truce to expand their colony, taking the lands nearby and building forts on them.",
"Ghailand considered this a violation of the truce and protested to the English; however, seeing no response, he decided to confront them."
],
[
"Battle",
"On April 1662, Ghailand arrived in Tangier with an army of 5,000 troops, where he tried to force the garrison to leave the fort for a battle.",
"On May 3, an English force of 500 men led by Major Nathaniel Fines left the fort with the goal of driving out the Moroccans from the city.",
"The English made a successful sortie that pushed back the Moroccans and put them en route; however, the English pursued the enemy far from the fort and were ambushed in the Jews River, west of the fort.",
"The English were surrounded by three sides, suffered heavy losses, and had to fight their way back to Tangier.",
"Around one-third of the English force made it out alive to the fort, and their commander, Nathaniel Fines, was killed in the battle.",
"The English did not know the Moroccan forces or their position."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"The English suffered a serious setback, which lowered the morale of the garrison.",
"The gates of the city were shut, and no English were sent out of the town.",
"This allowed the Moroccans to take the cattle under the walls.",
"The English governor, Peterborough, was removed from his post and was substituted by Andrew Rutherford.",
"However, Andrew repeated the same mistake made by Nathaniel in 1664."

[
"Introduction",
"'''The Battle of Tangier in 1675''' was an engagement between the Moroccans and the English garrison of Tangier, who raided the vicinity for cattle.",

],
[
"Background",
"After the Moroccan victories in 1662 and 1664, the conflict between the English and the Moors continued.",
"Throughout 1670 and 1671, the Moors kept setting up ambushes of haymakers and those who wandered far away from the town.",
"The Moroccans were able to deliver surprise attacks.",
"Due to constant attack, garrison supplies and storage were waning, and an attempt to buy meat from Portugal and Spain ended in vain.",
"The governor of Tangier, William O'Brien, 2nd Earl of Inchiquin, decided in the Council of War to fetch some cattle from outside based on reports by a Moroccan spy, Hamet, who recommended such an idea."

[
"Battle",
"On the night of September 19, 1675, the governor prepared a force of 500 men commanded by Major Palmes Fairborne to bring the cattle.",

"The Moroccan spy has led the force into an ambush; hundreds of gunshots encompassed by hundreds of cavalry were attacking the English, who were confused and lost.",
"The English cavalry had no time to organize, and the force was inexperienced.",

"Upon arriving at the fort, Boynoton was nowhere to be found.",
"He most likely retreated back to the fort and informed the governor of the disaster.",
"Fairborne organized his forces and marched to the hill, hoping to find any remaining survivors from the vanguard.",
"He remained there for a quarter of an hour but was forced to retreat after a force of 1,500 Moroccans arrived to face him."

[
"Aftermath",
"Fairborne Division lost 10 killed and several wounded; however, the vanguard was totally lost.",

"GTV (Africa)"
],
[
"Introduction",
"'''GTV''' (owned by Gateway Communications) was a short-lived subscription satellite television operator that operated in several African countries.",
"The operator provided subscription services at a low cost, as well as having a suite of its own channels."
],
[
"History",
"In February 2007, Gateway Communications announced that it would enter the subscription television market.",
"The service was to be rolled out in phases and would launch three channels exclusive to the operator, G-Prime, G-Sports 1 and G-Sports 2.The aim was to be a pay-TV operator for Africa, and one that didn't merely relay European or American content.",
"In March it was decided that GTV would use the Eutelsat W3A satellite to deliver its services, aiming to increase the number of pay-TV subscribers in Africa.",
"The first phase would see its service launched over East Africa, followed by West and Southern Africa.",
"Another drawing point was the buying of 80% of the Premier League matches in order to lure new subscribers.GTV was created to bring subscription television to less wealthy people, planning to bring subscription television at affordable prices.GTV's growth was supported by a US$40 million investment from Swedish company Kinnevik and separate investments from other companies (Citigroup, Noonday Global Management and Avenue Investment Management).GTV held its Botswanan consumer launch at the Fashion Lounge in Phalakane, Francistown in August 2007, promising its subscribers lower prices and competition, ending DStv's monopoly in the country.",
"These tactics infuriated DStv, causing it to retaliate creating, among others, a low-cost package.",
"The longer GTV operated in a country, the more stability it had.",
"At closing time, GTV had 20,000 subscribers in Uganda.",
"The number of markets on the other hand was relatively low.The service launched in October 2007, beginning its regular service on the 27th of the month.",
"There were 12 channels on offer, entertainment channel G-Prime, MTV Base, Kiss, three sports channels of its own, God Channel, MGM, BBC World, Sky News, TV5MONDE and the English service of Al-Jazeera.",
"New channels were to be added, but not at the expense of its subscribers.",
"African movies, mainly from Nollywood, were being gathered in order to deliver more African content on the provider.",
"Four further channels were added in April 2008.In 2008, GTV launched in Francophone markets to compete against the Canal+ Horizons package.",
"The expansion came in at a complicated time for the operator, as its finances were starting to struggle.With its finances worsening, Kinnevik sold its parent company, Gateway, to Vodacom.On 30 January 2009, GTV entered liquidation, shutting down its service.",
"Gateway had boosted its investments since 2007 primarily to launch the operator, but the international economic crisis of the time caused an excessive burden and the withdrawal of the service.",
"Other factors included the paucity of channels in contrast to DStv."

],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''''Teatro Angrense''''' is located on Rua da Esperança in the historic centre of Angra do Heroísmo, on Terceira Island, in the Azores, Portugal.",
"The town centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.",
"The theatre is the town's main performance venue."
],
[
"History",
"On the land where the theatre stands, there was a building in 1599 that served as a warehouse for imported goods.",
"There, in a box of products from India, the outbreak of an epidemic of bubonic plague that devastated the city that year was alleged to have begun.",
"The City Council decided to burn down the building, which remained in ruins until the 1850s.",
"The first stone for the new theatre was laid there on 2 October 1855, in a ceremony that formed part of the acclamation celebrations of D. Pedro V as King of Portugal.",
"The theatre, which was modelled on the ''Teatro do Ginásio'' in Lisbon, was officially opened on 22 November 1860.Two years later, a group of shareholders was formed to run the ''Angrense''.",
"The theatre, in a horseshoe shape, included 50 boxes arranged on three floors, 152 seats in the stalls, 63 chairs, a small hall on the upper floor, a stage and 14 dressing rooms.",
"These facilities proved to be small and uncomfortable: the stage was small and the dressing rooms were excessively humid.",
"The architecture, both its neoclassical exterior and interior, was poor compared to the rest of the city, which was growing at the beginning of the 20th century.",
"The management therefore proposed to expand its facilities.",
"The approved project was given to the architect Eduardo Gomes da Silva, with work beginning in 1919, which gave it its present appearance, and increased the capacity to 927, arranged on four floors.",
"The inauguration took place on 19 March 1926, with a presentation by the ''Companhia Teatral Maria Matos - Nascimento Fernandes'' from Lisbon.",
"From that time the theatre also had the capacity to show films.The building withstood the earthquake of 1 January 1980, without major damage, but some repairs were necessary without any significant changes to its design.",
"The ''Teatro Angrense'' was classified as a Property of Public Interest in 1989.In the 1990s, ownership was taken over by the City Council and it underwent some remodelling."
],
[
"Performers",
"While mainly used for local theatre groups and performers, the theatre has also attracted entertainers from the Portuguese mainland and from Spain.",
"These included Carolina Falco, Josefa de Oliveira, Maria das Dores, Lucinda Simões, Lucília Simões, Palmira Bastos, Maria Matos and her young daughter, Maria Helena, Amélia Rey Colaço, Vasco Santana, and João Villaret.",
"More recently, there have been performances by the Portuguese fado singers, Amália Rodrigues and Carlos do Carmo, by Rita Guerra, and by the musical group ''Deolinda''.",
"The only play written by the Portuguese poet and writer, Vitorino Nemésio, was performed at the Angrense for the first time in 1920."
