"Hippolyte Jouvin"

[
"Introduction",
"'''Hippolyte Jouvin''' (1825–1889) was a French photographer and publisher of stereoscopic photographs.",
"He is considered a pioneer in the field of photogravure, and was one of the first photographers to use wet collodion process.In 1863, he published a series of over two hundred stereoscopic photographs titled ''Vues instantanées de Paris'' (\"instant views of Paris\").",
"The term \"instant\" refers to the fast exposure time which allowed for the capture of people in the streets.",
"With earlier large format cameras, long exposure times would have rendered the streets of Paris as empty.",
"In 1867, Jouvin won a gold medal at the Paris Exposition Universelle for his photogravures.Art historians have argued that Jouvin's ''Vues instantanées de Paris'' may have been a source of inspiration to the Impressionists.",
"Art historian Aaron Scharf compared the elevated viewpoints in some of the paintings of Gustave Caillebotte to the elevated viewpoints of Jouvin's photographs.",
"Scharf also compared the style of cropping in Edgar Degas's paintings ''Place de la Concorde'' and ''At the Races in the Countryside'' to the cropped figures and carriages in Jouvin's photographs.Hippolyte Jouvin's photographs are present in the collections of the Bibliothèque nationale de France, the Library of Congress, the J. Paul Getty Museum, and the George Eastman Museum."

"Travertine and onyx have been deposited here upon the sandstone and shale of the Knoxville formation; carbonated saline water issues from and near these deposits.",
"The principal orifice is about 1000 feet west of the main body of travertine, at a pit sunk in a small deposit of onyx.\"",
"The Tolenas springs were used by the Patwin people and their Paleo-Indian predecessors; there are a number of bedrock mortars and rock cupules at the site that serve as evidence of their past presence.",
"An account recorded in 1963 had it that \"Indians camped up there in the early days.",
"Because it was high up, they escaped the winter floods.",

"The water is gently aperient and strongly diuretic.\"",
"As of 1891, a California state geologist reported that the springs were \"situated in a terminal ridge of the Coast Range, which descends somewhat precipitously to the Suisun Valley...Some time ago, where the spring now used for supplying the market came out of the ground, an excavation was made to the depth of 10 or 12 feet through several strata of calcareous tufa, which had been deposited by the waters of the spring.",
"These strata were separated by layers of 'adobe' clay; at 10 feet a white sand was passed through which rested upon a level floor of whitish clay, through which a hole two inches in diameter allowed water to escape.\"",
"The site was partially developed in the 19th century: \"There was a bottling works there, and a small resort.",
"Solano County residents would go there for Sunday picnics.",

"Ordained a Presbyterian minister in 1896 following his graduation from McCormick Theological Seminary, he held pastorates in Minnesota, Ohio, Iowa, and Missouri, before being elected president of Parsons College, a private liberal arts college in Fairfield, Iowa, in 1917.He spent five years at Parsons before resigning to accept the presidency of Centre College, similarly a private liberal arts school, in Danville, Kentucky.",
"He came to Centre in the midst of major popularity surrounding the school's football team, who had defeated Harvard in a major upset some months prior; this attention caused concern from some that the school was placing undue priority on football at the expense of academics.",
"Montgomery aimed to change this and introduced measures that would restore Centre's emphasis on athletics, though these changes were unpopular with students, who signed a petition to remove him from office.",
"He resigned in June 1926 and afterward was president of Lane Theological Seminary and held a faculty position at McCormick in his later career."
],
[
"Early life and education",
"Richmond Ames Montgomery was born on July 16, 1870, to Caroline Wright and John Martin Montgomery.",
"His brother was W. W. Montgomery, who went on to become a pastor.",
"He attended Miami University, where he was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity, and graduated in 1893.He then pursued studies at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago, graduating in 1896.He was ordained a Presbyterian minister the same year.",
"Miami awarded him a Doctor of Divinity degree in 1905."
],
[
"Career",
"Montgomery's early career involved pastorates at Presbyterian churches in various places.",
"He was pastor at Glen Avon Church in Duluth, Minnesota, until July 1904, when he left to take a similar position at the First Presbyterian Church in Xenia, Ohio.",
"After, he led the First Presbyterian Church in Ottumwa, Iowa; in June 1909, while the pastor at Ottumwa, he was elected a trustee of Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa.",

"He gave his farewell sermon at Tyler Place on August 12, 1917.Early into his term, on October 25, 1917, he was selected to give an address at the Founders Day celebrations of Iowa Wesleyan College.",
"This came just weeks after Parsons received a large gift of $10,000 () from the Fairfield Retail Merchants Association.",
"On July 7, 1922, Montgomery, while on vacation in Montana, submitted his resignation to the Parsons board of trustees by telegram in order to attept the presidency of Centre College in Danville, Kentucky.",
"Howard McDonald, dean of the college during Montgomery's presidency, was chosen to succeed him.",
"In Montgomery's time at Parsons, the student enrollment had expanded from 348 in his first year to 563 in his last; his term was described by a historian of the college as one of \"expansion\".Montgomery took office at Centre in June 1922, and soon after, the college's endowment surpassed $600,000 (equivalent to $ million in ).",

"A new playing facility on campus, Farris Stadium, was constructed in 1923, though the news was not all good; around the same time, the school was criticized by the Southern Association of Colleges for purportedly overpaying their head coach, Charley Moran, and accused of paying professionals to play in place of Centre students.",
"Despite the fact that Moran had been paid far less than head coaches at other southern colleges, he still received far more than members of the faculty.",
"Montgomery prevented the school from being dropped by the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, though the accusations were severe enough that Moran resigned the following year and star quarterback Bo McMillin, a popular choice to succeed Moran, declined for financial reasons.These events all culminated in a decision by Montgomery to begin de-emphasizing football in favor of Centre's academic standards.",
"The faculty supported this change and college teaching practices began shifting to follow trends that were more popular nationwide, including a shift in the upperclassmen's classes from recitations to lectures.",
"Alumni and students, however, were more displeased with the changes.",
"Tensions grew, in particular, between Montgomery and the student body, a large majority of which signed a petition to the board of trustees requesting his removal from office.",

Turck, dean of the University of Kentucky College of Law, who took office nearly a year later.After leaving Centre, Montgomery became president of Lane Theological Seminary in Cincinnati and also spent eight years on the faculty of McCormick Theological Seminary."

"Voldemort effect"
],
[
"Introduction",
"Majid Nawaz, the British activist who popularized the termThe '''Voldemort effect''' is a social phenomenon where people are fearful of naming someone, to speak of something or acknowledge it exists, and therefore derail any attempt to confront it.",
"The phrase takes cue from the line associated with Lord Voldemort in the ''Harry Potter'' series: 'he who must not be named', because they are terrified to name him or they deny his existence."
],
[
"Background",
"The expression was popularized by British activist Maajid Nawaz in 2015, where he applied it for analysts, experts, social commentators and politicians, among others, who are fearful or hesitant to call out the ideology of Islamism as the underlying cause of Jihadist terrorism.",
"Nawaz stated that people refusing to acknowledge radical Islam are comparable to members of Hogwarts who refuse to mention Voldemort's name, and by declining to name him, they forestall an open discussion from taking place about an accomplishable solution, which therefore exacerbates the situation, causes more dread and panic, and further glorifies the myth of his powerful nature.",
"As Majid puts it, \"Refusing to name a problem, and failing to recognize it, is never a good way to solve it\"."
],
[
"History of usage",
"term's coinage.The earliest usage of \"Voldemort effect\" was in an Australian infant health research in 2008 which reported that formula feeding was seldom named in publication titles or abstracts as a health risk factor for babies.",
"The term was used in 2011 for American politics, which had a different meaning, and was used to describe politicians who point out their favorite political figures just to ardently cite the ability to \"drive the other side crazy.\"",
"In a 2013 Christian book ''Holding Your Family Together'' by Dr. Rich Melheim, the term was used for those who do not want speak the name of something that is frightening them or causing problems to them.",
"The author encouraged the reader to \"to name that sucker out loud...We are going to call him what he is and who he is so that we can deal with real problem, not the myth\", because after mentioning the unspeakable name, \"The moment the silence is broken, the power starts to drain away from its sinister source and move in the direction of those who dare deal with it.The term was used for COVID-19 during the pandemic in 2020, as people began to ignore the social distancing rules and even dismissing the existence of the virus.",
"The term was applied in this context because COVID-19 is a serious issue that threatened peace in the world, in addition to people treating like it did not exist, just the same way Voldemort was a menace to peace and continued to be a serious problem for years, despite the fact that many in the Wizarding World chose to deny his return.===Islam===After Nawaz's vulgarization of the phrase in 2015, it has since been used to criticize mainly left-wingers who vociferously condemn any legitimate criticism of Islam and instead bring up whataboutisms such as the Crusades, with some even going far as blaming those who have fell victim to Islamic extremism after mocking the religion (such as the Charlie Hebdo cartoonists).",
"This position has influenced the term 'Voldemort effect'; in the Harry Potter series it is a taboo to mention the Dark Wizard's name, and the taboo in this situation is to merely state that Islamic fascism is a \"politicized religion\" that should be open for criticism.In 2015, the term was used by British counter-terrorism expert Haras Rafiq, who remarked that Islamic extremism is treated like a \"Lord Voldermort\" taboo topic in the United Kingdom, whereby, according to him, the failure to label and condemn Islamist ideology (by western leaders) for what it is has encouraged young people to join ISIS.",
"Rafiq stated, \"it has so far very much been a Voldemort effect – he who shall not be named – with no-one actually coming out and saying it is an Islamist ideology.",
"\"The Obama administration in particular has been criticized for not acknowledging radical Islam, and instead opting for the \"violent extremism\" rhetoric.",
"An example of the obfuscation was after the Orlando nightclub shooting in 2016, the administration released highly redacted transcripts of the shooter's conversation with 911 dispatchers; his sworn allegiance to ISIS and his self-description as an \"Islamic soldier\" were omitted from the transcripts."

"His second novel ''Domestic Enemies: The Reconquista'' revolves around the anti-immigrant Reconquista conspiracy theory, while his third novel ''Foreign Enemies And Traitors'' features a corrupt president who invites foreign mercenaries to run rampant on U.S. soil.In late 2015, Bracken published the essay \"Tet, Take Two: Islam's 2016 European Offensive\" on the counter-jihad blog ''Gates of Vienna'', which went viral.",
"The essay likened the Muslim influx in Europe to the prelude to the Vietnam War's Tet Offensive infiltration, and has been influential in parts of the American militia movement, being endorsed by Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes among others.",
"Bracken and Rhodes later appeared on Alex Jones' ''InfoWars'' show together in 2019 following the Christchurch mosque shootings, where the three according to the Southern Poverty Law Center agreed with the terrorist's motives, while \"lamenting how the massacre was going to be used to blame white men and to further a nefarious plot to confiscate firearms and ignite a civil war\".After the Quebec City mosque shooting in 2017, Bracken appeared on ''InfoWars'' and laid out a conspiracy theory that it was a false flag attack carried out by militant Islamists in order to blame Trump supporters, orchestrated by George Soros, claiming that detainee Mohamed Belkadhir had radicalized perpetrator Alexandre Bissonnette as an Islamic terrorist.In December 2020, Bracken appeared again on ''InfoWars'' as a guest host, where he told viewers that it \"may be necessary to storm the U.S. Capitol\", stating that \"We're going to only be saved by millions of Americans moving to Washington, occupying the entire area, if—if necessary storming right into the Capitol\".",
"This was included in the ''January 6th Report'' by the United States House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack, and was shown in a video during the seventh hearing by the committee."

[
"Introduction",
"'''''Exiles''''' (2022) is a crime novel by Australian writer Jane Harper.",
"It was originally published by Pan Macmillan in Australia in 2022.This novel is the third, and final, in the author's Aaron Falk series, following ''The Dry'' (2016) and ''Force of Nature'' (2017)."
],
[
"Synopsis",
"A year before the main timeline of this novel Aaron Falk had been in the small South Australian wine-making town of Marralee visiting the annual Marralee Valley Food and Wine Festival at the invitation of some friends who live in the town.",
"During that festival thirty-nine-year-old Kim Gillespie went missing, leaving her six-week-old daughter alone in a stroller.",
"A frantic search for the woman finds nothing.",
"The mystery remains unsolved.A year later and Falk is back in town for the festival again staying with his friend, Greg Raco, a police officer who is uncle to Gillespie's teenage daughter.",
"Raco persuades Falk to look over the material he has gathered on the disappearance but nothing, initially, seems to stand out.",
"We learn that Gillespie's husband appears to have a firm alibi for the night and that Gillespie had been suffering from depression.",
"One of her shoes has been found in a nearby reservoir and it is generally considered that she committed suicide, though no-one can fathom why.In the background is the six-year-old fatal hit-and-run case of Dean Tozer, the late husband of a woman that Falk is interested in.",
"The two cases, both being unresolved, could be connected though no-one can find the link."
],
[
"Publishing history",
"After its initial publication in Australia by Pan Macmillan in 2022, the novel was reprinted by Pan Macmillan in 2023.The novel was also translated into French, Greek, German, Dutch and Danish in 2023."
],
[
"Critical reception",
"Writing in ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' Sue Turbull concluded: \"In the end, ''Exiles'' is a book as much about friendship as it is about family.",
"While there’s a crime at its centre, it’s also about kindness and care.",
"The moment when Falk silently helps Joel clean the graffiti from his father’s memorial by the reservoir a touching case in point.",
"Quietly and inevitably, the secrets and deceptions are unravelled as Falk finds himself deftly woven into the weft of this small community.",
"In Exiles, Falk, may at last have come home.",
"\"Marion Winik in ''The Washington Post'' stated: \"Though she makes a point of careful plotting and neatly tied-up threads, Harper’s books are as much about Australian society and the pressures and dangers of the country’s landscape as they are about finding missing people and solving murders.",
"Social issues like domestic abuse, addiction and bullying play a significant role in her plots, and ''Exiles'' is no exception.\""

[
"Introduction",
"\"'''Facts'''\" is a song by Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald and American political commentator Ben Shapiro.",
"It was independently released on January 26, 2024 and marked Shapiro's debut musical appearance.",

"The song's music video, which was released alongside the song, features MacDonald and Shapiro in hoodies.The song reached number one on the U.S. iTunes sales chart.",
"The song then debuted at number 16 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, making it Shapiro's first and only appearance on the chart and MacDonald's highest chart entry.",
"It was panned by critics, particularly for Shapiro's verse on the song and also for what they considered to be rage-baiting and Shapiro's hypocrisy for appearing on a rap song after having previously stated that rap music was not real music.",
"Critics from ''Exclaim!''",
"and ''The Mary Sue'' described it as the the worst song of all time.",
"The song was endorsed by fellow rapper Nicki Minaj, who is mentioned in Shapiro's verse, on Twitter; she received criticism from both fans and critics for her association with Shapiro."

[
"Background",
"conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro (''pictured'').Prior to releasing \"Facts\", Tom MacDonald broke out with his song \"Dear Rappers\" in 2017 and became known for his songs that contain conservative beliefs.",
"Ben Shapiro founded the conservative news website, ''The Daily Wire'', in 2015, and he became known for sharing his political opinions.",
"Prior to appearing on \"Facts\", he had frequently publicly criticized rap music as not being art, including in a viral tweet posted in 2012, and once stated in a 2019 interview with rapper Zuby that it was \"not actually a form of music\".",
"Following the interview, Shapiro retracted this statement in a speech at Boston University, claiming Zuby had convinced him \"rap is a form of music\", but that he remained uninterested in the genre.A video of him reading the lyrics to Cardi B's song \"WAP\" in a deadpan tone in 2020 on his ''Daily Wire'' podcast, ''The Ben Shapiro Show'', went viral online soon after its release.",
"\"Facts\" was released on January 26, 2024."
],
[
"Composition and lyrics",
"\"Facts\" is a trap song, described by critics as \"MAGA rap\".",
"Its title is a reference to Shapiro's catchphrase, \"facts don't care about your feelings\".",
"On it, MacDonald raps from a conservative, \"anti-woke\" perspective, criticizing gender pronouns, the LGBT community, gun control, abortion rights, gender, opponents of white pride, the slogan \"defund the police\", and the Black Lives Matter movement.",
"In his verse, Shapiro raps about \"woke Karens\" in his comment sections, the rapper Lizzo, his yarmulke, and his viral \"WAP\" video, and claims that rap listeners waste money on strippers and will end up in jail.",
"He ends his verse by stating he \"just did this for fun\", telling fellow rapper Nicki Minaj to \"take notes\", and gives a call to action for listeners to download the song and get MacDonald and Shapiro a number one placement on a ''Billboard'' chart.",
"In the song's chorus, MacDonald raps, \"I don't care if I offend you/I ask myself 'What would Ben do?'\".",
"MacDonald stated that the song \"encouraged high moral standard\" and was intended as \"a legendary troll on the music industry\"."

"Music video",
"In the song's music video, MacDonald wears grills, box braids, and a hoodie that reads \"I Don't Care If I Offend You\".",
"Shapiro also appears in a gray hoodie, which reads \"facts don't care about your feelings\" in red lettering, and on several TV screens, which P.J.",
"Grisar of ''The Forward'' compared to a scene in the 1999 film ''The Matrix''.",
"Within five days of the music video's release, it received over nine million views on YouTube.",
"Both MacDonald and Shapiro alleged in its first week of release that YouTube was suppressing the video due to it not being listed as the number one trending song on the platform.",
"Despite receiving more views and comments, it sat behind the videos for \"Hiss\" by Megan Thee Stallion and \"Big Foot\" by Nicki Minaj on the chart."

[
"Commercial performance",
"Following its release, \"Facts\" reached number one on the U.S. iTunes sales chart.",
"\"Facts\" debuted on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 at number 16, giving Shapiro his first and only appearance on the chart and MacDonald his fourth and highest-charting entry, following his 2021 songs \"Brainwashed\", \"Fake Woke\", and \"Snowflakes\".",

"\"Facts\" also debuted at number eight on ''Billboard''s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and at number six on its Hot Rap Songs chart."
],
[
"Criticism",
"Shapiro was congratulated on Twitter by rapper Nicki Minaj (''pictured''), whom Shapiro mentions on the song, for reaching the top of the U.S. iTunes sales chart.Minaj tweeted her congratulations to Shapiro upon the song reaching number one on the U.S. iTunes sales chart, calling it \"not bad\" while opining it had instrumental similarities to her 2010 single \"Roman's Revenge\".",
"Following her endorsement of the song, her fans, known collectively as the Barbz, criticized her for her association with Shapiro.",
"While involved in a feud with Megan Thee Stallion over her song \"Hiss\", Minaj released her song \"Big Foot\" in late January 2024 and soon tweeted, \"Wait til they 'wake up' & listen to what Ben Shapiro is saying in #Facts.\"",
"Grant St. Clair surmised that Minaj's association with Shapiro was a \"critically-panned kinship\" due to the negative critical reception toward both \"Big Foot\" and \"Facts\".For ''The Daily Beast'', Justin Baragona criticized the song as \"merely another lazy exercise in titillating easily entertained conservatives while supposedly enraging 'snowflake' liberals\" on which \"Shapiro awkwardly rattles off a bunch of trolly lyrics with the sole purpose of creating a viral clip\" and MacDonald makes \"well-worn right-wing culture war talking points\".",
"Alex Hudson of ''Exclaim!''",
"called it the \"worst song ever\" and \"a three-minute self-parody that speed-runs through every talking point that anti-woke dogmatists are weirdly obsessed with\", also calling it \"dreadful\", \"terrible\", and \"depressingly predictable\" and stating that Shapiro had \"sunk to dismal new depths of nerdiness\" by appearing on the song.",
"Rachel Ulatowski of ''The Mary Sue,'' a feminist entertainment blog, similarly called it \"the worst song in history\" and \"a horrific song that spews tons of racist and transphobic rhetoric and claims they're 'facts'\" that also had \"hateful, self-glorifying, deluded, and narcissistic lyrics\".",
"She further described Shapiro as \"a talentless, overconfident man pretending he can rap\" and \"a hypocritical fool\" and compared his appearance in the song's music video to \"an 11-year-old boy who thinks putting his hoodie up makes him tough and cool\".",
"''Boing Boing''s Grant St. Clair opined that \"Facts\" being \"a bad song... goes without saying\" and that it was \"seemingly designed to cause outrage\" due to \"right-wing 'art'\" having \"nothing but outrage to rely on\".",
"St. Clair also wrote, \"Shapiro has famously said that rap music isn't music, and I would have to agree with him where this song is concerned.\"",
"Candace McDuffie of ''The Root'' wrote that \"Facts\" was \"way, way worse than you think it is\", adding that MacDonald and Shapiro were \"co-opting a Black art form to disparage Black folks\" and that MacDonald's and Shapiro's verses included \"white supremacist rhetoric\".",
"She also called him \"beyond hypocritical\" for \"employing the same artistry he claimed to hate for profit\" and criticized Minaj for her association with Shapiro as \"disgusting\" and \"way to ''sic'' far—even by Barbz's standards\".For ''HotNewHipHop'', Alexander Cole wrote that Shapiro's verse \"has to be one of the worst verses ever recorded\" in which he \"sounds like an AI version of himself\", also describing his flow as \"''Epic Rap Battles of History''-core\".",
"For ''Mediaite'', Jennifer Bowers Bahney called the music video for the song \"the cringiest thing you will ever watch\" and wrote that the song's lyrics \"rattle off a series of culture war hot topics\".",
"P.J.",
"Grisar of ''The Forward'' wrote, \"The song doesn't register the irony that it is conveying what it believes is a subversive, devil may care attitude toward scandalizing leftist pieties via a medium — rap — that has historically offended almost everyone at some time or another.\"",
"Kelly McClure of ''Salon'' wrote that Shapiro rapped \"in what he likely believes to be the best of his ability\".",
"Herb Scribner and Anne Branigin of ''The Washington Post'' wrote that the lyrics \"seem to call back to talking points floated frequently from far-right wing influencers and media outlets\" and compared the song's success to that of \"Try That in a Small Town\" by Jason Aldean and \"Rich Men North of Richmond\" by Oliver Anthony, both of which found commercial success due to their popularity among conservative music fans."

"Death of Mohammad Airyl Amirul Haziq Mohamed Ariff"
],
[
"Introduction",
"On 1 August 2014, four-year-old '''Mohammad Airyl Amirul Haziq Mohamed Ariff''' was hospitalized for severe brain injuries and he died four days later in spite of medical treatment.",
"Airyl's 32-year-old mother '''Noraidah Mohd Yussof''' was arrested and charged with voluntarily causing grievous hurt, which was upgraded to murder upon the death of her son.",
"It was later revealed that Noraidah had abused her son for two years, starting from March 2014, and on the date of Airyl's hospitalization, Noraidah had beaten Airyl severely for not reciting properly the numbers in Malay, and this led to severe head injuries that caused the death of the boy.After the murder charge was reduced before her trial in March 2016, Noraidah was sentenced to jail for eight years in July 2016 after pleading guilty to two counts of causing grievous hurt and two counts of ill-treatment of her son.",
"Upon the prosecution's appeal, her sentence was enhanced to 14 years and six months of imprisonment in July 2017.The case of Airyl's death led to the Court of Appeal to request to the government to provide them with more discretion to impose enhanced sentences for crimes against young and vulnerable victims."
],
[
"Background",
"Mohammad Airyl Amirul Haziq Mohamed Ariff was born in Singapore in October 2009.He was the younger of two children and had one elder sister who was two years older than him.",
"His biological mother was Noraidah Mohd Yussof, a former bridal model who was divorced in 2012; the identity of Airyl's biological father was unknown.",
"Noraidah later had a boyfriend, who broke up with her in 2014, before she murdered her son.Airyl, who was two at that time, was first abused by his mother in March 2012, when Noraidah tried to teach him the alphabet, and Airyl did not follow her instructions.",
"This incensed Noraidah and caused her to push him and step on his ribs.",
"And shortly after the incident, Noraidah gave him a paper to scribble with, but Airyl reportedly drew on a sofa, and out of anger, Noraidah twisted and pulled her son's hand with great force.On 12 March 2012, Airyl was hospitalized at the KK Women's and Children's Hospital, and stayed there until 2 April 2012.Airyl was found to have multiple fractures, on his left elbow, left calf, and eighth to 11th ribs.",
"There were also bruises on his forehead and the back of his head, and on various parts of his body.",
"Healed scars were also discovered on his lower legs and lower abdomen.",
"As a result of suspected abuse, Noraidah was referred to the Child Protective Service (CPS), and she lied that the injuries were the result of a fall down a flight of stairs at home and an earlier fall at the playground.",
"Even so, the CPS decided to have Airyl placed under the care of Noraidah's brother and sister-in-law.",
"Four months later, Noraidah moved in to live with the relative and her son, but there were no further reports of child abuse, so the CPS closed the case on 5 February 2014.Noraidah and her two children later moved to a rented flat in Eunos, and on 30 July 2014, the abuse on Airyl resumed.",
"In that case, Airyl was asked to recite certain numbers in Malay, but he was unable to, which provoked Noraidah into shoving Airyl until he fell backwards.",
"This fall caused Airyl to hit the back of his head against a TV console table.",
"Later that day, Airyl soiled the floor and his mother was enraged at this, and thus she kicked him on the waist and while Airyl was still on the floor, Noraidah also stood on his stomach with both feet for a few seconds."
],
[
"Murder",
"On 1 August 2014, two days after the brutal assault, Noraidah once again abused her son, and this time, it would result in the death of Airyl.On that fateful day, Noraidah asked Airyl to recite the numbers 11 to 18 in Malay again, but however, Airyl did not recite them correctly, and Noraidah angrily shouted at Airyl, who later took a nap.",
"Afterwards, Airyl was once again asked to recite the numbers but he failed to.",
"This caused Noraidah to pull Airyl, who fell backwards on the floor and hit his head.",
"Noraidah stepped onto Airyl's knees with both feet about three to four times before she choked him and pushed him to the floor, and even grabbed Airyl's neck and lifted him off the floor, pushing Airyl against the wall.Noraidah only stopped after she saw Airyl gasping for air and thus released him.",
"However, the boy fell to the ground and he remained motionless, weak and unresponsive.",
"Later on, Noraidah brought Airyl to Changi General Hospital, and she lied that Airyl sustained these injuries due to a fall.",
"Nonetheless, Noraidah was arrested on suspicion for causing hurt to her son, who was later warded at KK Women's and Children's Hospital.Airyl was found to have suffered head injuries and had to undergo an emergency operation to save his life.",
"Airyl's biological father, who was remarried at that time, went to the hospital with his second wife and other relatives, and hoped that Airyl would recover.",
"However, Airyl's condition remained severe and he was placed on life support, and also developed further complications.",
"Eventually, due to the poor prognosis, Airyl's father and other family members agreed to take off life support on the doctors' recommendation, and on 5 August 2014, four-year-old Mohammad Airyl Amirul Haziq Mohamed Ariff was pronounced dead.",
"An autopsy was conducted and the cause of Airyl's death was found to be a fractured skull and bleeding in the brain.",
"Various other injuries caused by Noraidah's abuse of the boy, including scars, abrasions and bruises, were also found on Airyl's body."
],
[
"Criminal charges",
"Three days after her arrest, 32-year-old Noraidah Mohd Yussof was charged with voluntarily causing grievous hurt on 4 August 2014.Ten days later, on 14 August 2014, it was reported that in light of her son's death, Noraidah was brought back to court, where her original charge of causing grievous hurt was upgraded to murder, a grave offence that carries the death penalty in Singapore.",
"Noraidah was also charged with abusing and ill-treating her son during the past two years before Airyl's death.On 9 September 2014, Noraidah was found fit to stand trial for murdering her son.",
"Veteran criminal lawyer Subhas Anandan, who was notable for representing infamous wife-killer Anthony Ler, was engaged by Noraidah's family to defend her in her upcoming murder trial.",
"However, Anandan died from a heart attack in 2015 before Noraidah stood trial, and hence she was represented by another lawyer by the time her trial began in 2016."
],
[
"Trial of Noraidah Mohd Yussof",
"Before the beginning of Noraidah's trial, the prosecution, after careful consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, decided to bring down her murder charge to the original charge of voluntarily causing grievous hurt, which allowed Noraidah to no longer face the death penalty for murdering Airyl.",
"On 28 March 2016, Noraidah pleaded guilty to two counts of causing grievous hurt and another two counts of ill-treatment of her son.",
"After the death of her original lawyer Subhas Anandan in 2015, Anandan's nephew Sunil Sudheesan, together with Diana Ngiam, took over his uncle's case and represented Noraidah during her trial, while the prosecution was led by April Phang.",
"The trial was presided over by Justice Lee Seiu Kin.",
"The possible punishment for voluntarily causing grievous hurt, which came under the Penal Code, warrants a jail term of up to ten years with caning, while the ill-treatment of a child, which came under the Children and Young Persons Act, attracts the maximum jail term of four years with a possible fine.Before her sentencing, a Newton hearing was conducted to determine Noraidah's mental state for the purpose of calibrating an appropriate length of imprisonment for her, as Noraidah's lawyers told the court that she was suffering from Asperger syndrome, a developmental disorder which is similar to autism spectrum disorder but of a milder form.",
"Dr Tommy Tan, a private psychiatrist, agreed with the defence that Noraidah suffered from Asperger Syndrome, and having interviewed Noraidah's family, Dr Tan stated that due to the condition, Noraidah, who had some abnormal behaviour since young, was unable to form a bond with Airyl or show empathy towards others, and she only had an interest in drawing, writing and modelling, and her refusal to work aside from pursuing a modelling career, which were factors behind his diagnosis.However, the prosecution's two psychiatric experts – Dr Sajith Geetha and Dr Subhash Gupta –disagreed that Noraidah suffered from Asperger.",
"Dr Subhash testified that Noraidah's inability to show empathy was not a sign of Asperger, and he testified that Noraidah had some personality aberrations, notably including her high tendency to become violent and act on impulse, and her short temper.",
"Dr Subhash's evidence was corroborated by Dr Sajith, who added that before the abuse and death of Airyl, Noraidah was able to interact normally with her friends and capable of forming romantic relationships with other men, which were not the behaviours exhibited by those diagnosed with Asperger, since affected individuals of Asperger had difficulties in socializing with other people and communication.",
"Dr Sajith even brought up the fact that Noraidah had won in a secondary school modelling contest, which he used to support his rebuttal of the defence's contention.On 29 July 2016, the prosecution and defence made their submissions on sentence.",
"The prosecution urged the trial court to sentence Noraidah to imprisonment for 12 years or more, citing that the death of Airyl was \"one of the saddest cases of child abuse\", and they pointed out that Noraidah violated her parental duty as a mother and never protected her son, and she never suffered from any social communication deficits.",
"The prosecution submitted that Noraidah kept abusing Airyl in cold blood over any signs of behaviour that did not meet her expectations and even resorted to further violence after she pushed Airyl down, and hence, they argued for a harsh sentence to be imposed for the purpose of retribution and deterrence.",
"On the other hand, the defence asked for less than ten years' imprisonment, and cited that while the death of Airyl was a sad case, Noraidah had gone overboard as a result of coping with multiple stressors, notably her divorce and later break-up from her former boyfriend, and the financial burden she had to feed the family and pay for her mother's treatment.",
"Noraidah's lawyer Sudheesan also stated that Noraidah, who was reportedly remorseful for murdering her son, would be psychologically haunted by her actions of causing Airyl's death, which amounted to a severe punishment and he therefore seek leniency on Noraidah's behalf.Justice Lee Seiu Kin delivered his verdict on the same day after the end of closing submissions.",
"Justice Lee rejected the defence's contention that she has Asperger's syndrome, and instead, he accepted the prosecution's psychiatric evidence that Noraidah has several personality problems, and he found these to be a mitigating factor, as it may have contributed to her inability to cope with multiple stressors and her inability to bond with her son, and these were factors that weighed in Justice Lee's mind as he considered the appropriate sentence, and also accepted that Noraidah was filled with regret for killing her son, and therefore decided to err on the side of leniency in spite of his criticism of the defendant for her conduct.",
"Therefore, Justice Lee sentenced Noraidah to eight years' jail, and backdated her jail term to the date of her arrest on 2 August 2014.Noraidah was spared the cane as Singaporean law prohibits caning for female offenders.",
"Noraidah reportedly broke down in court when the sentence was passed."
],
[
"Prosecution's appeal",
"After the end of Noraidah's sentencing trial, the prosecution filed an appeal against her eight-year sentence, on the grounds that the jail term was manifestly inadequate and they maintained their stand to have Noraidah jailed for 12 years or more.The prosecution's appeal was heard before the Court of Appeal on 6 July 2017, with three judges - two Judges of Appeal Tay Yong Kwang and Steven Chong, and Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon - hearing the appeal.",
"Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) Kow Keng Siong argued that the trial judge was wrong to consider Noraidah's personality aberrations as mitigating factors, and these were not part of a recognisable mental disorder.",
"DPP Kow also argued that the law should ensure that lenient sentences should not be imposed on people with an impulsive or aggressive nature, as it might potentially allow these offenders to have an excuse to \"give in to their emotions and act out their frustrations without self-restraint\".",
"DPP Kow also said that deterrence was a relevant sentencing factor, which the judge should not have left out, and cited the statistics which showed a rise in child abuse cases, from 550 cases in 2015 to 873 cases in 2016.DPP Kow also cited that Noraidah never showed any remorse for her actions, and she had earlier blamed her family for her son's death, claiming that this would not have happened if they also took care of Airyl.",
"Hence, on these grounds, DPP Kow sought a sentence of more than 12 years for Noraidah.",
"On the other hand, Noraidah's lawyer Diana Ngiam submitted that the trial court was correct to accept the personality aberrations of Noraidah, as well as her inability to cope and bond with her son, and that her sentence was not manifestly inadequate.On the same date, after the completion of the submissions, the Court of Appeal swiftly returned with their decision.",
"Chief Justice Menon, who delivered the judgement, stated that the three judges agreed with the prosecution's submissions, stating that the gravity of Noraidah's crime was aggravated by Airyl's young age and his defenceless nature, and they stated that as Airyl's mother, Noraidah had a maternal duty to protect him, but instead, she was ruthless and extremely cruel towards him.",
"Furthermore, the three judges admonished Noraidah for her utter lack of remorse and having inflicted an \"unspeakably severe\" abuse on her own biological child, and her conduct overall was vicious and heinous.The appellate court also disagreed with the trial judge that Noraidah's actions amounted to crimes of passion, but they were just vindictive acts and deliberate responses to Airyl's certain behaviours and she never acted out of impulse or loss of self-control, as corroborated by the severity of the injuries inflicted.",
"Chief Justice Menon also added that the case was made more tragic by the fact that after the end of the CPS's intervention, Noraidah remained undeterred and thus resumed abusing her son, and ultimately the abuse cost the life of four-year-old Mohammad Airyl Amirul Haziq Mohamed Ariff.",
"The court also said that the judge had erred in accepting the personality abbarations and the financial woes of Noraidah during sentencing, as these are not justifications to explain her abusive behaviour towards her son.On these grounds, the appellate judges agreed that Noraidah's sentence of eight years was manifestly inadequate, and she deserved to be incarcerated for more than 12 years as what the prosecution proposed.",
"In conclusion, the appellate judges allowed the prosecution's appeal, and therefore raised Noraidah's sentence to years' imprisonment."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"After the end of the prosecution's appeal, Noraidah has been serving her sentence at Changi Women's Prison since August 2014.If Noraidah completed at least two-thirds of her jail term (equivalent to nine years and eight months) with good behaviour, she would be released on parole in April 2024.In November 2017, after the Court of Appeal released their full grounds of decision, they called for Parliament to provide them the power to enhance the punishment of child abusers by to 1.5 times the maximum penalty prescribed, and this proposal was also made to address crimes that target other vulnerable victims like foreign domestic maids and the elderly.",
"Not only that, the appellate court also set out a sentencing criteria for courts in the future to address violent offences against children and young persons that lead to serious injury or death.",
"They stated that for grievous hurt leading to death, the indicative starting point should be a jail term of about eight years, while those with multiple fractures should have a starting point of three years and six months.",
"As for caning, male offenders below the age of 50 can be subjected to 12 or more strokes of the cane if they voluntarily inflicted grievous hurt that led to the victim's death, and for cases with non-fatal serious injury, the court can choose to impose between six and 12 strokes of the cane.In 2018, the Parliament of Singapore decided to amend laws to legalize harsher punishments for offenders who commit crimes against vulnerable groups like children, domestic workers and disabled people (whether mentally or physically).",
"Under the amended laws, any convicted offenders can face up to twice the maximum punishment for whichever crimes committed against these vulnerable groups.",
"The proposed amendments were introduced in early 2019."

"These isolated elements only attest a passage and not a regular presence on the territory.",
"Hypothesis of abandoned artifacts (intentionally or not) or lost is considered.Very few archaeological vestiges are known in Condate before the arrival of the Romans.",
"However, the gaulish period is still studied by archaeologists.",
"They identified, 250 meters north of the perimeter of the antic city, along the Ille, a small exploitation dating from the 4th and 3rd centuries BC.",
"A gaulish habitat was also spotted a hundred meters downstream from the confluence of the Ille and the Vilaine, at Vieuxville-Beaurade, in 1993.Finally, in 1941, at Saint-Jacques-de-la-Lande, near Rennes, some artifacts have been exhumed including silver and billon staters.",
"The iconography is typical of the Rédones.",
"However, the existence of a real agglomeration remains uncertain.If there are very little textual information on the Riedons, the case is much worse for their capital, Condate Riedonum.",
"The place is almost unknown during the period preceding Roman invasions of Gaul.",

"The science historian James A. Secord describes the parties as \"scientific soirées\".",
"Secord writes that Babbage imported the idea from France, and once established, such soirées \"became one of the chief ways in which scientific discussion could take place on a more sustained basis within polite society.",
"\"In her autobiography, the English writer and sociologist Harriet Martineau wrote: \"All were eager to go to his glorious soirées and I always thought he appeared to great advantage as a host.",
"His patience in explaining his machine in those days was really exemplary.",
"\"According to biographers Bruce Collier and James H. MacLachlan, \"Babbage was a ''bon vivant'' with a love of dining out and socialising.",

"Evacuation of Chortkiv Prison"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Evacuation of Chortkiv Prison''' refers to the compelled evacuation and massacre of inmates from the prison in the city of Chortkiv, then in occupied Poland and now in Ukraine.",
"In the last days of June 1941, following the German invasion of the USSR, the Soviets executed an estimated 100 to 200 prisoners held in the Chortkiv prison.",
"The remaining prisoners were evacuated further east, either by train or on foot, while hundreds died due to the inhumane conditions of transport or at the hands of guards.",
"According to Soviet documents, the overall number of victims was estimated at around 890, while other sources suggest it might exceed 1,000.This atrocity was one of several prisoner massacres carried out by the Soviet secret police and army during the summer of 1941."
],
[
"Background",
"During the interwar period, Chortkiv (, ) was located within the borders of the Second Polish Republic and served as the center of the Chortkiv county in Tarnopol Voivodeship.",
"After the German-Soviet invasion of Poland in 1939, the city fell under Soviet occupation.",
"On January 21, 1940, local Polish conspirators, mostly youths aged 16–20, organized an unsuccessful uprising against the Soviets.",
"According to Soviet reports, at least 24 captured insurgents were executed, while 55 others were deported to the Gulag camps.Those apprehended by the NKVD were confined in the cells of a pre-war Polish prison situated on Adama Mickiewicza Street (present-day Stepan Bandera Street), in close proximity to the pre-war magistrates’ court building.",
"The prison in Chortkiv was one of four Soviet prisons operating in Ternopil Oblast.",
"It was referred to as 'Prison No.",
"2' in Soviet official documents.",
"An NKVD functionary named Levchuk served as a prison warden.On June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union.",
"Due to the swift progress of the German offensive, the NKVD began exterminating political prisoners in the war zone.",
"In the summer of 1941, in the part of Poland occupied by the USSR, an estimated 20,000 to 30,000 individuals were murdered in prisons and detention centers."
],
[
"The course of events",
"=== Massacre in prison ===According to documents from Soviet archives, as of June 10, 1941, the prison in Chortkiv held 1292 inmates.",
"The \"List of departures and movements of transports from NKVD prisons of the Ukrainian SSR\" informs that \"until the evacuation, there were 1,300 inmates in the prison\".",
"This information is also found in a July 12, 1941 report by Captain of State Security Andrei Filippov, regarding the evacuation of prisons in the western districts of the Ukrainian SSR.After the outbreak of the German-Soviet war, over a thousand prisoners were evacuated from Chortkiv by the NKVD.",
"However, the Soviets decided to murder some of the political prisoners on the spot.",
"First of all, they executed those individuals to whom, before the war, the death penalty or long prison sentences were awarded under Article 58 of the USSR Penal Code and Article 54 of the Penal Code of the Ukrainian SSR.At the beginning of July 1941, after the German troops entered Chortkiv, the inhabitants went to the prison at Mickiewicza Street.",
"Initially, the building seemed completely deserted.",
"However, soon the bodies of murdered prisoners were found in its basements, and in the inner courtyard, a mass grave was discovered, concealed beneath freshly planted flower beds.",
"Many of the discovered corpses showed signs of torture.",
"Witnesses also claimed that, in one of the cells, guards walled up prisoners alive; several living people and about 100 bodies were allegedly found there (however, Bogdan Musiał questions the veracity of such reports).On July 9, 1941, German soldier Meinrad von Ow recalled:Determining the exact number of prisoners who were murdered directly within the prison remains challenging.",
"The NKVD reports provide no information about executions in Chortkiv itself.",
"Eyewitnesses reported that several hundred bodies were found in the prison.",
"The District Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation in Łódź, which investigated this crime in the 1990s, estimated that between 100 and 200 prisoners were murdered in the building on Mickiewicza Street.The prison massacre was not the only crime committed by the Soviets in Chortkiv in the summer of 1941.Before leaving the city, NKVD men committed numerous rapes and robberies against the civilian population.",
"Additionally, on the night of July 1–2, 1941, they killed seven Dominican friars and one tertiary from Saint Stanislaus Church.=== Evacuation by train ===From 350 to 500 prisoners were sent by train to the city of Gorki (present-day Nizhny Novgorod).",
"The journey in sealed and uncleaned cattle wagons lasted 17 days.",
"The prisoners were not provided with water, only minimal rations of food.",
"As a result, heat, thirst, and exhaustion resulted in numerous deaths.",
"Due to the fact that the wagons were emptied every few days, the prisoners had to travel with the bodies of their deceased comrades, which quickly decomposed in the summer heat.B.",
"H. Łoziński, a Polish prisoner who survived the train transport, recalled:Polish investigators estimated that at least 63 prisoners died during transport by train.",
"Witness quoted by Jerzy Węgierski claimed that 34 people died in one wagon alone.=== Death march to Uman ===From 700 to 800 or even 954 prisoners were kept in prison almost until the last moment.",
"According to Andrei Filippov’s report:Finally, these prisoners were rushed east on foot.",
"The route of the march led through Kamianets-Podilskyi, Zhmerynka, Tyvriv, Sytkivtsi, and Khrystynivka.",
"Soviet reports state that \"on the way, in an attempt to rebel and escape,\" 123 prisoners (allegedly members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) were shot.After a dozen or so days, the column reached Uman.",
"On July 20, 1941, the Deputy People's Commissar of State Security of the Ukrainian SSR, Major of State Security Ivan M. Tkachenko, along with an unnamed military prosecutor, decided to execute all prisoners who had been \"convicted or were under investigation for counter-revolutionary crimes\".",
"Consequently, according to Soviet reports, 767 individuals were executed in Uman.Only 64 criminal prisoners survived.",
"Some of them were immediately released, while 31 prisoners of Polish nationality were temporarily left in the prison in Uman."
],
[
"Aftermath",
"The NKVD reports stated that a total of 890 prisoners were murdered during the liquidation of the Chortkiv prison.",
"However, surviving prisoners and witnesses of the exhumation estimated that the number of victims was in the hundreds.As in other instances of prison massacres, the local Jewish community got blamed for the actions of the NKVD.",
"As per the antisemitic canard of Jewish Bolshevism, Jews were pervived as synonymous with the Soviet regime and its policies of terror.",
"After German troops entered Chortkiv, local Jews were forced to work on the exhumation of bodies found in the prison.",
"During this work, they were beaten, humiliated, and murdered by soldiers.The funeral ceremony for the victims of the prison massacre took place on July 9, 1941, with the bodies buried in a mass grave at the municipal cemetery in Chortkiv.During an investigation conducted in Poland in the 1990s, it was established that executions in the Chortkiv prison involved, among others, two communist functionaries of Jewish origin who were natives of Chortkiv.",
"They served as employees of the Soviet occupation apparatus.",
"After the end of the war, both individuals went on to serve in the ranks of the Polish People's Army, attaining high officer ranks."

Ramos, who was president at the time he was charged and arrested for the rape, particularly Justice Secretary Teofisto Guingona Jr.Jalosjos' sentence was commuted to 16 years by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on June 13, 2007, and was allowed to live in a privately owned house in Katarungan Village, which is part of Bilibid's reservation area.",

"McDonnell Douglas DC-10 Twin"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''McDonnell Douglas DC-10 Twin''' was a proposed version of the DC-10, a wide-body trijet airliner, except with only two engines instead of three.",
"It was designed to be lighter, simpler, and more fuel-efficient than the original DC-10, and to compete with the Airbus A300, the first twin-aisle twinjet.",
"However, the DC-10 Twin did not enter production, as there was not enough demand from airlines."
],
[
"Development",
"Beginning in 1966, two-engine designs were studied for the DC-10 before the design settled on the three-engine configuration.",
"Later on, a big twin based on the DC-10 cross-section was proposed to Airbus as a 50/50 venture but rejected.",
"In 1971, a shortened DC-10 version with two engines was proposed as a competitor to the Airbus A300.McDonnell Douglas held a major presentation of the proposed DC-10 Twin at Long Beach, and several European airlines were willing to place orders.",
"On July 30, 1973 however, the company's board decided not to give the proposed twin the go-ahead, as no US airline had ordered it.",
"More DC-10 Twin proposals were made, either as a collaboration with a European manufacturer or as a solely McDonnell Douglas product, but none proceeded beyond design studies.The design when being developed had cost a total of $250 million ($ million in 2024).",
"The proposal was based on a specification from American Airlines in 1966, who wanted a wide-body aircraft smaller than the Boeing 747 yet capable of flying similar long-range routes between airports with shorter runways."

"Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey"
],
[
"Introduction",
"The '''Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey''' (Turkish: Türkiye'de Müslüman Kardeşler; Arabic: الإخوان المسلمون في تركيا, romanized: ''al-Ikhwān al-Muslimūn fī Turkiyā'') refers to the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey, as well as the Turkish branch of the organisation.Logo of the Muslim Brotherhood"
],
[
"History",
"In 1969, in Istanbul, the International Islamic Federation of Student Organizations was founded, where it is still headquartered.",
"The IIFSO became the first Turkish organization that was founded by Muslim Brotherhood members.",
"When Necmettin Erbakan entered politics, he good relations with the Muslim Brotherhood organization worldwide and maintained those relations.",
"In the 1990s, Erbakan began a series of Islamist conventions that aimed to unite Muslim Brotherhood leaders worldwide to counter Western influence.",
"In the 1970s, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, when he was Erbakan's top advisor, had met with the Muslim Brotherhood spokesman Kamal El-Halbawy at various of conferences organized by the World Assembly of Muslim Youth.",
"When Erbakan's MNP was banned in 1971 by the Turkish court for violating Turkey's secularism, he began establishing various parties such as the MSP, the RP, and the FP, with each party getting banned one after another.",
"After the repetitive shutdowns, Erdoğan and a group of other Millî Görüş politicians went on to establish the AKP, and while being conservative, they were much more liberal than many of Erbakan's parties.",
"The AKP aimed to be a conservative party which is democratic, similar to the Christian democrats.",
"Erdogan even coined the word \"Conservative democracy\" as to avoid using \"Islamic democracy\".Erdogan eventually became the prime minister of Turkey in 2002, made various reforms such as in the education and media, weakening of the military control over the government, civilian control over the military, lifting bans on religious dresses (including headscarves), and ending discrimination against students from private religious high schools in public universities.",
"Although Erdogan had initially \"improved rights for Kurds\", it remained illegal to use Kurdish in schools, whether private or public, although many teachers continued to teach it illegally.",
"The AKP government constantly rebuffed Kurds, who demand linguistic and cultural restrictions to be lifted, as being terrorists or PKK supporters, despite most of them being ordinary people without relations to the PKK.",
"The AKP's drift from its original conservative ideology and increasing Turkish nationalism, especially around 2018 when they made an alliance with MHP, not only caused many conservative Kurds to stop supporting Erdogan, but also caused AKP veteran Abdullah Gül and Ahmet Davutoğlu to leave the party.",
"In 2023, amid an even stronger nationalist rhetoric and further drift from his original ideology, Kurds who once supported Erdogan had drastically decreased, and Erdogan's support for the Free Cause Party was seen by many of them as a desperate attempt at clinging on to conservative Kurds, who were getting repulsed by Erdogan at a fast rate.Regardless of his shift away from his former policies, and his attempts to distance himself from Islamism, Erdogan maintained relations with the Muslim Brotherhood throughout his entire career, and after Erbakan's death in 2011, several leading Muslim Brotherhood figures attended his funeral, including Mohammed Mahdi Akef and Khaled Mashal.",
"Erdogan staunchly backed the Muslim Brotherhood and Mohamed Morsi during the Egyptian crisis, and gave 1,500 Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood members asylum in Turkey after the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état.",
"Not only were members of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood allowed to stay in Turkey, many members of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood were also based in Turkey, including Omar Mushaweh, Amr Darrag, Mahmoud Ezzat, and Talaat Fahmi.Erdogan flashes the Rabia signThe ruling AKP's support for the Muslim Brotherhood caused Turkey's relationships with the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and especially Egypt, to be strained.",
"In 2017, when Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE, and Bahrain cut ties with Qatar and demanded the that it cuts ties with the Muslim Brotherhood, Turkey sided with Qatar.",
"Erdoğan himself stated that the Muslim Brotherhood \"is not an armed group, but an ideological organization, there would be no tolerance for the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey if they had to do with terrorism, and we have not seen or observed any action from them that indicates this\" in February 2017.The Muslim Brotherhood held many permitted conferences in Turkey.",
"Days after Morsi's overthrow in July 2013, exiled Muslim Brotherhood leaders in Istanbul, which included members from Morocco, Malaysia, Mauritania, Libya, Syria, and Iraq, spoke about reinstating Muslim Brotherhood rule in Egypt.Egyptian authorities, who constantly accuse the Turkish government of conspiring with the Muslim Brotherhood, in November 2017, detained 29 people on suspicted espionage for Turkey.",
"Egypt's General Intelligence Services stated that the suspects had been passing information to Turkey's National Intelligence Organization as part of a plan to reinstate Muslim Brotherhood rule over Egypt.",
"In March 2019, the Turkish government announced the deportation of 12 Muslim Brotherhood members to Egypt, where they were wanted on various charges.",
"Muslim Brotherhood members who didn't face deportation, began a campaign to pressure the government to reverse the decision.Even after deportations, the Turkish government continued its staunch support for the Muslim Brotherhood.",
"In April 2019, when Donald Trump announced that he was thinking about designating the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organization, Ömer Çelik stated that terrorist status for the Muslim Brotherhood would hurt democracy and human rights all across the Middle East, and would be the be the biggest act of encouragement to the Islamic State and their propaganda.",
"The Islamic State frequently refers to the Muslim Brotherhood as the \"Murtad Brotherhood\", and call their politicians tawaghit and do takfir on their supporters."
